Son Accuses Sandusky of Abuse Bombshell dropped as child sex abuse case is sent to jury

8WYaijeho Matt Sandusky went to live with Jerry Sandusky and his wife, Dottie, as a foster child and was adopted by them legally as an adult after coming into the home through the Second Mile charity, which Jerry Sandusky founded. Shortly after the former coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrest in November, Matt Sanduskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ex-wife Jill Jones successfully obtained a restraining order forbidding the children from sleeping over at their grandparentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home. Around the same time, details emerged that Matt Sandusky had attempted suicide just four months after first going to live with the couple in 1995. (AP)

Lawyers for one of Jerry Sanduskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adopted sons said the man has told authorities the former Penn State assistant football coach abused him.

The lawyers issued a statement Thursday naming Matt Sandusky, one of Jerry Sanduskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six adopted children, and saying that the 33-year-old had been prepared to testify on behalf of prosecutors at his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sex abuse trial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the trial, Matt Sandusky contacted us and requested our advice and assistance in arranging a meeting with prosecutors to disclose for the ďŹ rst time in this case that he is a victim of Jerry Sanduskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abuse,â&#x20AC;? Andrew Shubin and Justine Andronici wrote in the statement.

The statement was issued after jurors in the ex-coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s child sex abuse trial began deliberating 48 charges against him. The jurors are

sequestered during deliberations.

On Thursday, prosecutors described Jerry Sandusky as a serial molester who groomed his victims, while his defense lawyer said the former Penn State assistant football coach was being victimized by an overzealous prosecution and greedy accusers.

Sanduskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney said the 68-year-old former coach was being victimized by investigators who led

accusers into making false claims about a generous man whose charity gave them much-needed love.

Earlier Thursday, Judge John Cleland announced that three of the counts were dropped against Sandusky, bringing the total number of charges to 48. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in state prison. GENARO C. ARMAS AND MARK SCOLFORO (AP)

• World-class scholar-practioner faculty • International network of 1,300+ alums • Client-focused, diversity-conscious OD • International residency

A month after Veronica Davis got her driver’s license at the age of 17, her parents gave her a 1996 Dodge Neon. Five years later, she bought herself a 2001 Toyota Camry she named “Platinum Whip” — “Platinum” for short. “We’ve been through thick and thin together,” says Davis, wistfully recalling the road trips, the accidents and the vast number of parking tickets.

Last Saturday, the 33-year-old Hillcrest resident said goodbye to Platinum for good, and she won’t be replacing her wheels with a new car.

Davis recently became the first local winner of the New Belgium Brewing Co.’s Tour de Fat contest. The main rule: Promise to hand over your car, title and keys in exchange for a $2,250 stipend to buy a bike that you’ll use instead.

Riding around on two wheels isn’t exactly foreign to Davis, who last year founded Black Women Bike D.C., a group that now boasts 530 members. The fastest way for her to get to her office in Anacostia is to bike, she’s been an avid user of the Capital Bikeshare program and she’s lobbied hard to get bike racks in her neighborhood. As a civil engineer who co-owns the sus-

tainability consulting firm Nspire Green, it’s essentially her job to be a cycling expert. “What I do professionally is think about how people move,” she says.

T hat do e sn’t mean the switch is going to prove easy for someone who recognizes that she’s always had a car as a crutch. “The biggest challenge is going to be the hills. I live on a hill on top of a hill,” Davis says. Although she’s allowed to rely on public transportation as part of the deal, it’s often not a good option if she’s traveling to spots in Wards 4, 7 and 8.

Part of the reason Davis entered the contest was to prove that living car-free is possible east of the Anacostia River, but she also wants to highlight the obstacles that prevent her neighbors from making that choice. A transportation system that’s designed to move people from the edges of the city to downtown doesn’t do much for folks who are just trying to get around their neighborhoods, she says.

Davis hopes whichever bike she winds up choosing can handle the terrain better than her current hand-me-down with a busted back wheel. She’s still deciding what to spend the cash on — maybe a Pashley, a classic beauty, or perhaps a Brompton. “That would allow me to be multimodal,” Davis notes, since she’d be able to take a folding bike with her on the Metro at all hours.

And she’s going to try not to think about poor Platinum, which she took for one final spin on Sunday. “I wanted to burn the gas I’d paid for,” Davis says. “I’m that cheap.”

8Whho 8beYaWZ[0 D.C. Council member Marion Barry has launched a lastditch effort to slow or derail the city’s planned streetcar line on H Street, arguing it’s not been well thought out and is too expensive for the number of riders it will serve. Council member Mary M. Cheh (D-Ward 3), chairwoman of the Committee on the Environment, Public Works and Transportation, said Barry’s resolution could delay council approval by at least 45 days. In an interview, Barry said he wants to slow up the project because he’s not convinced the streetcar line is needed because D.C. has an “excellent Metro system.” (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Efforts after Metro’s deadliest crash ever didn’t end accidents JhWdifehjWj_ed

In the three years since Metro’s deadliest crash, the transit authority that operates the rail system has doubled its staff of safety experts, improved its train-detection systems and begun the process of replacing

some of the oldest cars in its fleet.

Still, the authority has struggled with a series of safety problems.

In recent months, a Blue Line train derailed in Rosslyn, a Metro mechanic was seriously injured after being struck by a train in a maintenance yard and the doors of a moving Red Line train opened unexpectedly. A passenger trying to help a heart attack victim in April found that a station’s defibrillator didn’t work. Internal reports

unearthed by the media this month show the agency ignored inspectors’ repeated warnings about inaccessible emergency exits.

On Wednesday, for the third time since December, Metro reported that a “friction ring” — part of the brake system — had fallen off a rail car.

Overall, Metro watchdog groups and public officials say Metro is safer than it was on June 22, 2009, when nine people died and dozens

of others were injured after two trains collided on the Red Line.

“Before the Fort Totten accident, the [National Transportation Safety Board] had been very frustrated because we’d investigate accidents on Metro and we wouldn’t see a response to our recommendations,” said board chairman Deborah A.P. Hersman. “But since the Fort Totten accident ... I think we’ve seen a real change.”

JWa[ j^[ >[Wj A blazing summer sets in, but your discomfort shouldn’t last that long

Why have the past few days felt so awful? Because our bodies’ best methods of coping with heat haven’t been tested in three seasons.

A c c o r d i n g t o t h e Na t i o n a l

Weather Service, Thursday’s heat broke at least eight records across the U.S. — including Reagan National Airport’s 99 degrees — as temperatures soared into the upper 90s for a second straight day.

But if you’re slogging through your work or workout, you already have started the process of acclimatization, which will equip you to better withstand the heat all summer.

These changes can happen in as little as two weeks, according to Law-

rence Armstrong, who has studied heat’s effects on the body.

And the East Coast will likely find relief soon, forecasters said, as a lowpressure system and possible storms are expected to cool temperatures into the weekend.

But it won’t last: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is calling for hotter than normal temperatures for every continental state — except in New England — through September. (THE WASHINGTON POST/AP)

>em Bed] :e[i ?j JWa[ Oekh 8eZo je 7Z`kij5 El[hm[_]^j WdZ ebZ[h f[efb[ have trouble handling the extra strain caused by heat. In addition, the thirst mechanism is blunted beginning around age 50, and the kidneys function less efficiently. Heat and dehydration pose real dangers to these folks.

F[efb[ m^e ZedÊj Ze Wdoj^_d] ijh[dkeki or who exercise sporadically will not adapt as quickly or experience as many changes as people who are working harder and more often.

<_j" ^[Wbj^o f[efb[ acclimatize best and fastest. Those who gradually work up to 60 to 90 minutes per day exercising or working hard in the heat should be fully acclimatized in 14 days.

M^Wj je :e _d j^[ C[Wdj_c[5 Don’t push too hard. Go inside to cool off frequently as your body adjusts.

Stay adequately hydrated (but not overhydrated), as recent studies have shown that dehydration can override all heat adaptations. And think cool: A 2011 study found that cyclists who thought the temperature was cooler than it was were able to pedal longer.

>em CkY^ :e Oek Im[Wj5 Sweat cools your skin as it evaporates. That’s why hot, humid days feel so awful: Sweat can’t evaporate into saturated air. After acclimatization, most people sweat about 20 to 30 percent more per hour of exercise, but sweat rate varies greatly.

' gj$

J^[ Wl[hW][ f[hied sweats out

about a quart per hour of exercise before acclimatization and about a cup more per hour afterward.

Iec[ im[Wj ckY^ ceh[$ During the 1984 Olympic marathon, U.S. runner Alberto Salazar sweated out 3.7 quarts per hour.

MWi^_d]jedFeij$Yec Looking for a way to beat the heat locally? Going Out Guide writers pick their favorite pool parties, getaways, spots for frozen drinks and more. For details, visit: http://wapo.st/Khfv20

GRAPHIC: BONNIE BERKOWITZ AND ALBERTO CUADRA /TWP; SOURCES: LAWRENCE ARMSTRONG OF THE HUMAN PERFORMANCE LABORATORY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT; PAUL CASTLE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF SPORT AND EXERCISE SCIENCE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BEDFORDSHIRE IN THE UNITED KINGDOM; NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH; JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSIOLOGY

M^Wj >Wff[di 7i Oek 7YYb_cWj_p[5 Oe Oek Jkhd H[Z0 When your body hits a certain temperature, your brain sends blood to carry heat from your too-warm core to the skin’s surface, where the heat can dissipate.

This is why hot people look flushed.

8beeZ Ikffbo ?dYh[Wi[i0 Suddenly, blood that in cool weather would be carrying oxygen to working muscles has been diverted to the skin, so heart and lungs have to work harder to fuel the muscles. The effort feels difficult. To fix this, the body makes more blood — up to 27 percent more. >[Whj HWj[ :[Yh[Wi[i0 Once you have more blood, your heart can pump more with each beat. Your heart rate doesn’t soar as high during exercise. You feel better already.

Im[Wj_d] 8[]_di Ieed[h0 As you adapt, your brain turns on the waterworks more quickly. For instance, if you began to sweat when your core reached 99.5 degrees in cool weather, you may begin perspiring at 99 degrees after you’re acclimatized.

Im[Wj ?i B[ii IWbjo0 Once your cooling system is completely revved up, what comes out is less salty, because your body has to conserve sodium and chloride (a.k.a. salt) to function properly.

Oekh J[cf[hWjkh[ ?i Bem[h0 Body temperature after acclimatization won’t soar as high, even during exercise. The difference is small (about 0.5 to 1.5 degrees), but it can be enough to push back heatstroke, which can begin at 103 to 104 degrees. Even at rest, your temperature will be lower.

Oek IWl[ 9WhXi WdZ 8khd <Wj0 During this process, your body changes fuel, burning slightly more fat and dipping less into quick-energy carbohydrate stores. The fat burn won’t be enough to get rid of last night’s cheeseburger, but the savings in carbs might let you run, cycle or work a bit longer.

Oek ;n[hY_i[ Ceh[ ;\\_Y_[djbo0 Scientists don’t know why, but exercise economy improves with acclimatization, so muscles use less oxygen for the same work. The brain sends less blood to the skin because the body produces less heat. Once the weather cools, you will lose all these changes within a month. Next spring, you’ll have to start over.

Cracking ‘The Code’ Baseball’s unwritten rules are a matter of interpretation — and a bit of name-calling J^[ DWj_edWbi For all of its existence, baseball has been littered with unwritten rules that stretch far beyond the boundaries of the game’s printed guidelines. They are meant to dictate how a ballplayer should look and act, and what is right or wrong (or at least morally acceptable).

Should you try to decipher the opposing team’s signs? Absolutely. But only in certain ways.

Can you steal bases when your team is winning big? No. Well, maybe. It depends.

Can you hit an opposing batter on purpose? Sure. Sometimes.

Is it OK for a pitcher to load up the baseball with strange substances? Um. When is it appropriate to call him out on it? Hmmm.

It’s those last few questions that have drawn the Washington Nationals into two separate morality plays this season.

7:05 P.M. MASN2

7:15 P.M. FOX

1:35 P.M. MASN2/DC50

The problem is that even the most seasoned baseball lifers often have different interpretations of “the code.”

Manager Davey Johnson, 69, first put on a big league uniform in 1965. General manager Mike Rizzo, 51, never climbed above the minor leagues, but as the son of a scout, he has been connected to the game since birth.

They should know, right?

But so should Phillies manager Charlie Manuel. He’s 68. And Rays manager Joe Maddon. He’s 58.

When Philadelphia left-hander Cole Hamels plunked Washington rookie Bryce Harper last month, for no apparent indiscretion, the code was called into question. Manuel said it’s how the game has been played for decades.

Rizzo said no, it’s not. He called Hamels “fake tough.”

When Johnson asked umpires on

Tuesday to check the glove of Rays reliever Joel Peralta, he knew (because Peralta had once played for Washington) that it probably contained a whole mess of pine tar. Maddon said Peralta’s status as a former National made that privileged information and Johnson should have kept it to himself. He said it was “bush” and “cowardly” and then used other words that can’t be printed here.

The next day, Johnson called Maddon “a weird wuss.” But he would not indulge in a debate over the mythical code.

“My only comments to [Maddon],” Johnson said, “is read the rulebook.”

To which Maddon replied: “Davey is right. I’m incapable of reading the rulebook. And there’s also reading between the lines in some situations that needs to be looked at, too. He’s been around long enough. He knows. He knows better than that.”

Peralta has been suspended eight games. He appealed, and can continue to play until the process is complete.

There may never be agreement on matters such as Washington’s two flareups this year, though perhaps that’s the beauty of a game whose unfathomable intricacies can reduce a bunch of old baseball guys to adolescent name-calling. DEREK TURNER (FOR E XPRESS)

<Wa[ Jek]^ In April, when Phillies veteran pitcher Cole Hamels beaned Nationals rookie Bryce Harper for no obvious reason, Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel, above, said that’s how the game has been played for decades. Nats GM Mike Rizzo disagreed, calling the act “fake tough.”

M[_hZ Mkii Rays manager Joe Maddon took umbrage with Nationals manager Davey Johnson’s request to have umpires check pitcher Joel Peralta’s glove Tuesday, calling it “cowardly” and “bush.” Peralta was thrown out of the game. Johnson the next day called Maddon “a weird wuss.”

United’s Olsen Named All-Star General D.C. coach to lead MLS squad against Chelsea at PPL Park In the 31 months since Ben Olsen closed the book on his storied playing career, the D.C. United coach has rapidly climbed the coaching ladder. That rise continued Thursday with his appointment as coach of the MLS All-Star team.

Former D.C. United coach Peter Nowak’s ouster as manager of the Philadelphia Union last week created a vacancy on the MLS bench for the All-Star Game against Chelsea at PPL Park in Chester, Pa., on July 25. Nowak, as then-manager of the host team, was supposed to have the honor of coaching against the UEFA Champions League winners, but with him fired, MLS needed a replacement.

Only last week, Olsen, a twotime All-Star as a player, played down speculation about his involvement in the game, saying, “They

After the Union ousted Peter Nowak, Ben Olsen with his first place D.C. United, became a good candidate to coach the all-stars.

should let [Union interim manager John Hackworth] do it. He’s there, he’s closest.”

In a way, MLS listened to his suggestion. Olsen will be assisted

by Hackworth along with the rest of his D.C. coaching staff: Chad Ashton, Pat Onstad and Sonny Silooy.

D.C. United’s strong start to the season — the club sits in first place of the Eastern Conference ahead

DW`Wh >[WZ[Z je BedZed The U.S. Under-23 men’s national team might have failed to qualify for this summer’s Olympic tournament, but D.C. soccer fans can take solace in watching United winger Andy Najar represent Honduras, which was drawn into the same group as tournament favorite Spain, Japan and Morocco in the 16team field in the United Kingdom. Najar was named to Honduras’ 18-man roster Thursday, and Los Catrachos will begin their quest to earn a medal July 26 against Morocco. Najar will join Honduras July 2 for Olympic preparations. (A.C.)

of Sunday’s important, nationally televised match at the rival New York Red Bulls — coupled with Olsen’s proximity to PPL Park and his availability the following weekend made him an ideal candidate to fill the void. Starting last season, MLS has awarded the host team’s coach the chance to coach the midsummer exhibition in an effort to minimize any disruption to clubs’ preparations throughout All-Star week.

“This is a huge honor,” said Olsen, 35, a Middletown, Pa., native. “This league has been a major part of my life, both as a player and now as a coach, and it’s given me a lot. Ultimately, this recognition comes because of my team and my staff, but to represent the league on a big stage like this is a real privilege.”

Among the D.C. United players who could be joining Olsen at PPL Park are Dwayne De Rosario, Bill Hamid, Perry Kitchen, Chris Pontius, Maicon Santos and Nick DeLeon, the six representatives on the ballot. AVI CREDITOR (FOR E XPRESS)

Ronaldo Goal Pushes Portugal Past Czechs ;khe (&'(

FABRICE COFFRINI/AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Cristiano Ronaldo scored on a powerful header in the 79th minute, sending Portugal to the European Championship semifinals with a 1-0 victory over the Czech Republic.

' & Ronaldo hit the post twice, then finally delivered. He headed a cross by Joao Moutinho straight at the ground and up past the flailing hands of Czech Republic goalkeeper Petr Cech.

This was Ronaldo’s third goal in two games and it rewarded the Portuguese for the relentless pressure they applied all match.

Cristiano Ronaldo celebrates after Portugal beat the Czech Republic, 1-0, Thursday.

Por t uga l w i l l play Spa i n or France in the semifinals in Donetsk, Ukraine, on Wednesday. It is one victory from its second European Championship final in eight years.

Ronaldo already provided some leadership and two goals to get past the Netherlands in group play, and his encore Thursday was huge.

His goal finally punished the

tactics of the Czechs, who had parked most of their players in front of Cech for much of the game.

The strategy worked for a while.

In first-half injury time, Ronaldo deadened a cross from Raul Meireles on his chest, turned and with two touches set up a right-foot shot that had Cech beaten before it crashed against the near post.

In the 49th, Ronaldo again clipped the post on a free kick from 25 yards out.

By then, Ronaldo had hit the post four times in two games. When he finally scored and was mobbed by teammates, he went over to the TV camera with a beaming smile and offered a victory kiss.

“The Czechs didn’t have a single chance,” Ronaldo said.

The NHL released the 2012-13 regular season schedule Thursday, with the Capitals slated to open the campaign on Oct. 12 at home against the defending Eastern Conference champion New Jersey Devils.

Keep in mind that everything is subject to change because of the uncertaint y surrounding the NHL’s collective bargaining agreement with the players’ association.

The current CBA expires on Sept. 15 and the two sides have yet to begin negotiations.

Capitals General Manager George McPhee has said his focus remains on building a team, not labor discussions, but that he hopes the season starts on time.

“I’m hopeful that we’re playing,” McPhee said last week.

“That’s for other people to talk about. I’m a hockey operations guy and I’m trying to make a team.”

As rentals get smaller, tenants learn to make do minus a few of the basics Lifestyle Ben Hifman grew up planting herbs and vegetables in his Minnesota backyard. “It’s something I’ve always done,” he says.

W hen he moved to Washington, he hoped to continue his horticultural hobby. But how? “There aren’t many onebedroom apartments with space for this,” says Hifman, 28, who’s a lawyer for the Environmental Protection Agency.

So he filled dozens of Dixie cups with dirt and seeds for parsley, carrots, cabbage — even artichokes. Hifman carefully lined them up on his windowsill, watering them every day and tracking their progress. He plans to transfer his seedlings to a spot in a community garden.

Such are the trade-offs made to live in one of the most expensive cities in the country.

In the D.C. area, getting an apartment is tough enough. Finding a place with a backyard, a washer/dryer or a dishwasher can seem next to impossible. Many apartment-hunters are willing to pony up for a place that lacks a refrigerator, a stove or an oven. Even windows have gone from an essential to an amenity in popular neighborhoods.

Living Without Continued from page R1

This lack of what some might call necessities is a symptom of D.C. apartments getting smaller, says Ernesto M. Santalla, a Washingtonbased architect and interior designer.

More people are choosing to live alone in one-bedrooms and studios, Santalla says. With space in the area — especially downtown — at a premium, landlords can eke high rents out of small spaces. And the smaller a place is, the less likely it is to have anything like a dishwasher, or even an oven.

Some D.C.-area residents don’t find these necessities to be, well, necessary. “People here are busy,” Santalla says. “I tell my clients to ask themselves, ‘How often do you actually eat at home?’”

Inventive renters learn to live

PRICE POINT

without what’s missing, finding work-arounds to make up for it.

Michelle Warren, 29, has rented the same charming apartment for two years. It’s close to the Capitol, with high ceilings and sunny bedrooms. One thing it doesn’t have — a dishwasher.

Warren has gone back and forth to places with and without a dishwasher for eight years. “I’m kind of used to it,” she says.

She and her roommate have an informal agreement — they clean their dishes as soon as they’re finished eating. It gets trickier when serving a group. “It’s difficult to cook big meals,” she says.

If you miss your appliances, there are solutions. Think about buying small, stand-alone devices that serve multiple functions, Santalla says. Unlike big appliances, these don’t have to be permanently

installed — you can store them wherever you’d like, and bring them along with you to your next apartment.

GE makes a 2-foot-wide portable dishwasher that can wash 14 place settings in one load (Products. geappliances.com). The $750 dishwasher has a wood-laminate top so it can double as extra counter space, and wheels for portability.

If you want to go even smaller, you can find countertop dishwashers for $200 to $300 from brands including Danby, Haier and STP (Amazon.com or Homedepot.com).

Most are less than 2 feet wide and

GE’s convertible/portable dishwasher doesn’t have to be permanently installed ($749, Products. geappliances.com) 3. Ikea’s Bekvam kitchen cart adds extra counter and storage space in small kitchens ($59.99, Ikea.com)

fit between the countertop and the cabinets. They typically weigh about 50 pounds.

If you don’t have an oven, a convection microwave could be a good solution. It’s sized like a microwave, but functions like an oven. These cost between $300 and $500 and are available at major bigbox stores.

Santalla also recommends mini-fridges with freezer drawers built in. Haier makes a foot-anda-half-wide minifridge that’s $150 at Home Depot (Homedepot.com), and most major big-box stores carry a variety of minifridges priced between $100 and $200.

In kitchens with little or no counter space, buy a butcher’s block or a kitchen cart with a solid top, says Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan, CEO and co-founder of the interior design blog Apartment Therapy. If cabinet space is what you’re lacking in the kitchen, consider hanging pots and pans from a lattice on the ceiling.

Outside of the kitchen, the most common thing renters want more of is light. When GillinghamRyan wanted to create the illusion that his place had more windows, he replaced a closet door with a translucent curtain and put a light inside the closet. “People thought it was a window,” he says. “Visual tricks can make a big difference.”

This two-bedroom is all modern elegance. There are high ceilings, natural oak floors and floor-toceiling windows. An airy living room leads to a master bedroom (176 square feet) and second bedroom (120 square feet) with two spacious closets each. The kitchen comes with granite countertops and new stainless steel appliances. Then there are the building’s amenities, which include a meeting room, rooftop pool, gym and a movie screening room. (LISTED BY BOZ ZUTO)

Tucked away in a quiet, suburban neighborhood, this white-clapboard split-level is cozy. The roomy living and family rooms have hardwood floors and working fireplaces.

There’s a big kitchen with new appliances. Outside, a deck and backyard are perfect for a party or game of kickball. Old Town is about 5 miles away, and downtown D.C. is a 30-minute drive. Public transit options are limited here, so a car is a must. (LISTED BY OWNER)

Just because you give dating advice for a living doesn’t mean you can manage your own love life. At least that’s the case for Julia Allison, who wrote the column “Sex on the Hilltop” for the Georgetown University newspaper as an undergrad in the early aughts, then went on to counsel the lovelorn for AM New York, Cosmopolitan and other pubs. Now, the still-single Allison stars in Bravo’s “Miss Advised” (Mon., 10 p.m.). The new reality show explores how a trio of disparate women — also including a Los Angeles sex writer and a New York City matchmaker — can’t hurry love, despite their careers.

I need a pair of really fun sandals to wear, something to help me get through the D.C. summer. I should mention that I’ve been told I’m a bit quirky. —DELIL AH Manolo says, ayyyyy! Summer has officially started and it is officially the first big heat wave. How do we know this?

The moonshine wine was clandestinely brewed during the Great Depression and mixed with whatever was lying around — fruits, spices, herbs — by boozehounds who were too broke to afford the good stuff. New York’s White Mule Farms’ version of the buzzy elixir — which clocks in at 36 proof and comes in a retro milk bottle — makes for sweet sipping alone, on the rocks or mixed with soda, more commonly known as a Spodee and sodee, of course ($12, Spodeewine.com).

“What’s this,” says the average newcomer to the District. “It’s going to be 95 degrees outside? Why was I not informed about this oppressive climate?”

Thankfully, we live in the age of ubiquitous air conditioning, when we can scamper from the house to the car to the office with only the few seconds’ exposure to nature’s blast furnace. And yet, strangely, these few seconds are enough to cause widespread lamentations among the citizenry.

So, what does the quirky girl wear when the weather turns hot? Something Hellenic (it is frequently hot in Greece), such as these marvelously amusing sandals, the Calypso from Ancient Greek Sandal ($245, Saksfifthavenue.com). With these on your feets you would be impervious to fire!

8BEEC?D=:7B; 7BB;O :;9A AWj_[ Adeheliao" \h[[bWdY[ mh_j[h J^[ c_ii_ed0 After spending five summers in D.C. in apartments sans outdoor space, when I saw the second-floor back deck on the condo I bought this past November, my mind skipped straight past closing costs and on to lazy Saturdays sipping mint juleps in the sun (with mint plucked fresh from the window boxes, naturally). My goal: Make this 10-by-12-foot wooden slab a roost — part lounge, part dining room and greenhouse.

AFTER

— a place where you can sprawl out in that faded bikini from three seasons ago and mascara from last night, reading “Fifty Shades of Grey” and slurping a good-morning margarita away from the judging eyes at the public pool.

Spacious yards might be an anomaly of city dwelling, but you don’t need an ivy-choked wooden door (or McMansion lawn) to turn an outdoor space, whether eighth-floor balcony or row-house porch, into a city oasis. An alfresco perch’s style equals the sum of its parts — not its square footage. D.C. garden stores stock a variety of plants that can thrive in pots, hanging baskets and window boxes, especially prime for urbanites looking more for a place to escape than a full-time Farmer McGregor gig.

“Plants are wonderful for creating lushness, providing privacy and adding beauty to a small space, but it’s the details — the containers that hold the flowers, the rug beneath your feet, the lantern on the table — that transform a space with plants into a true garden retreat,” writes Fern Richardson in her new book “Small-Space Container Gardens” ($20, Timber Press), inspired by her popular blog Life on the Balcony.

Creating a plush refuge doesn’t require harvesting a money tree, just an eye for detail and a willingness to think outside the (big) box. In other words, step away from the Ohio State tailgating chairs and plastic dining sets; say hello to charming bistro tables and repurposed planters (metal colanders, wooden wine crates). Small touches, like cushions and candles or string lights, also encourage lingering after the sun goes down. “Don’t be afraid to bring the indoors out,” says Washington designer Jill Sorensen of Live Like You (Livelikeyou.com). “Don’t just arrange a seating area — create a room outdoors.”

=WhZ[d Y[dj[h0 From the previous owners, my husband and I inherited four window boxes lining the railings along with two rusting faux-stone pots (dead plants included). Following Fern Richardson’s golden rule to “first consider how much direct sun the deck gets,” we determined the edge of our bright, north-facing deck could support full sun and partial shade plants. As for our dead-houseplantcheckered past? “Beginners have the most success with annual herbs,” Richardson explained to me, so we filled our window boxes with basil, mint, chives and lavender from Old City Green in Shaw (902 N St. NW; 202-412-2489) plus some edible flowers. Lime-green creeping Jenny spills over the edges of a planter perked up with a few heat-resilient moss roses, which bloom during the day and close by dusk. In the floor planters: a blueberry bush (fingers crossed for July berries, my summer crack), a gardenia bush (not the best pick for beginners

The biggest bummer about spending evenings alfresco? Bug bites. The author followed a tutorial on Design*Sponge to make citronella candles in mason jars (using soy wax and citronella essential oil ordered on Amazon), then used galvanized steel wire to hang the DIY lanterns from the deck railing. The resulting candles seem to discourage the ’squitos a bit.

like us, we later learned) and a euonymus shrub from Johnson’s Garden Center (4200 Wisconsin Ave. NW; 202244-6100).

Ijob[ dej[i0 Heeding the advice of D.C. designer Jill Sorensen to mix and match furniture but keep a cohesive look by sticking to one or two hues, I went with a mod palette of lime and black. I spray-painted stone planters glossy black lacquer and draped screen-printed canvas cloth over a ready-to-be-retired side table.

A few pops of yellow — a round button pillow, a metal watering can — offer sunny accents, and a rattan chaise (an Ikea-via-Craigslist find) serves as dramatic focal point (and a reading spot).

J^[ c_ii_ed0 There’s not a lot of privacy in this busy downtown hood, so I wanted to create a “green wall” that would provide a barrier from Mr. Nosy Neighbor while at the same time offering major curb appeal and maximizing space on my snug (3-by-10 feet) east-facing balcony . =WhZ[d Y[dj[h0 Planters that hang over the edge of a balcony? Call them an expensive lesson. In my experience, those vessels are so small the plants dry out faster than a Kardashian marriage. So I used tall restaurant trash-cans as planters (order from a restaurant supply company like Katom.com). The cans are plastic, so I cut holes in the front and cultivated plants shooting out the sides. The tall cans hold more soil, which retains moisture. I mixed edible herbs (rosemary, basil) in with flowers and have plotted out plants so something is blooming all year.

Ijob[ dej[i0 I bought my tiny tables at Ikea, which still sells a similar folding model, Kalvo ($20). Low-slung chairs also make the space feel private.

I decided to use them and bought 12 aqua blue ceramic pots (for similar planters, try Marshalls or Abaca Imports, 1201 N. Royal St.; Alexandria; 703-684-2901). For a coordinated look, the blue vessels echo the color scheme in the house. “Keep the flowers and plants you buy to a few hues, too,” advised horiculturist Barbara Wise, author of the new “Container Gardening” ($15, Cool Springs Press).

Wise also advised asking for help at the garden center, so when I headed to Johnson’s Garden Center, the guy I corralled not only heard about my northwestern exposure, but also that I only wanted white, green and blue posies and plants. The resulting growing things — purple lobelia, white petunias, violet salvia, sweet potato vine — plus herbs got transplanted into my pots, and now I glimpse what seems to be a shrunken Impressionist garden from the porch swing.

THE GIRL

THE BRAINS

Abraham Lincoln may be the “Vampire Hunter,” but James Madison, Dolley Madison, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington could have taken on bloodsuckers, too.

B_\[" B_X[hjo WdZ j^[ Fkhik_j e\ LWcf_h[i ?j cWa[i i[di[ j^Wj 7XhW^Wc B_dYebd" known for his youthful rail-split-

ting abilities, would be a top pick to take on vampires, as he does in “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,” out Friday. But go back a generation and you’ll find that some of our local Founding Fathers (and one Mother) had the goods to take on an army of bloodsuckers. K RISTEN PAGE-K IRBY (E X PRES S) J>; 8H7MD George Washington: You need a special abilities set to fight vampires, as even the casual “Buffy” viewer knows. “Washington has all those skills,” says Dennis Pogue, vice president for preservation at Mount Vernon, George Washington’s home. “He’s 6 feet tall. He’s 200 pounds. He’s a good rider, he’s outdoorsy, he’s got a military background. And he’s got lots of swords and pointy objects he can use.”

Washington wasn’t just a bewigged ball of colonial muscle: His military experience went beyond the battlefield. “One of Washington’s

real strengths [was] his ability to coordinate activities,” Pogue says, most notably an elaborate spy network that was key to his success in the Revolutionary War. Washington’s famed leadership didn’t come solely from the fact that he looked good in uniform — should a vampire invasion come, he’d be out there, stakes in hand. “He was not just somebody who liked to be on the parade ground,” says Pogue.

“He was into the nitty-gritty.”

J>; 8H7?DI Thomas Jefferson: “[Jefferson] was a pretty cerebral guy,” says

Will Mackintosh, assistant professor in the Department of History and American Studies at the University of Mary Washington. “I wouldn’t think that hand-to-hand combat would be his forte.” But TJ could have been an important figure in an anti-vampire campaign.

“Vampire fighting is often a collective activity,” says Mackintosh.

“I think Jefferson would have been good at [joining in]. But being a lone hunter … He was uncomfortable with the idea of the exceptional leader. That smacks too much of King George. But I’m not making the case Jefferson was modest. The

dude had an ego.”

That ego is partly why Mackintosh suggests Jefferson might be convinced to leave the sun behind.

Like, permanently. “He overlaps a lot more closely with the vampire characters. He lives this sort of solitary life, he’s not known as an emotional character, and he’s so committed to that kind of enlightenment rationality. And he basically lives in splendid solitude in this mansion. He might like to have all the time in the world just to build a really great library.”

J>; >;7HJ James Madison: First things first: James Madison will not be kicking any butt. “He is not a physical force to be reckoned with,” says Sean O’Brien, chief operating officer and executive vice president at Montpelier, Madison’s home. Madison was somewhere between 5 feet

2 and 5 feet 6, and weighed 100 to 110 pounds. But little things come in heart-filled packages: Madison is the only sitting president to ride into battle (at the Battle of Bladensburg during the War of 1812). “He has the bravery to battle any foe,” says O’Brien.

Still, combat isn’t where Madison’s strengths lie. “He was really the consummate organizer. His behind-the-scenes work organizing all the colonies is what allowed us to create the Constitution.” And he considered his creation paramount: “As the father of the Constitution, he wanted to do everything he could to defend [it],” says O’Brien. “He’s the only president who, in a time of war, did not curtail constitutional freedoms.” So if you’d like to keep your freedom of speech when the vampires come, Madison is your man.

J>; =?HB Dolley Madison: “Dolley [Madison] would be the forerunner of frivolously named women who are vampire slayers,” says Catherine Allgor, professor of history at the University of California at Riverside. “Truthfully, the action part wouldn’t be her style. She was very in tune with people and very empathetic, so she would probably turn the tools of the vampire against them and kill them with kindness.”

She wasn’t all sweetness, though.

“After the invasion of Washington [in 1814] she waited in the White House until the last moment,” says Allgor. “In preparation for this, she said to her cousin, ‘Though I’m a Quaker, I always keep a Tunisian saber within reach.’” Upon her return to the smoldering city, “when she saw the smoking ruins, she said, ‘I wish we had 10,000 soldiers to sink our enemies into the bottomless pit … I would have stayed in the castle with a cannon in every window, but they who should have put them there fled.’”

There’s one more reason you want Dolley on your vampire-fighting squad, says Allgor: the aftermath. “After the battle is over and the vampires are vanquished — or not — Dolley Madison will throw the party.”

MWh 8[jm[[d J^[ IjWa[i ‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’ may have a silly premise, but it’s still a fun ride <_bc H[l_[m As much of a mixed bag as its portmanteau title suggests, “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” is both terribly silly and a lot of fun. Delivering fewer consistent frights and more laughs than some might wish from a flick about bloodsucking ghouls, this adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith’s 2010 bestseller is nevertheless reasonably gripping summertime entertainment. That’s thanks in large part to filmmaker Timur Bekmambetov’s strong sense of action and visual style.

Arcs of spurting vampire blood — as black and viscous as Cherry Coke syrup — are as carefully choreographed as the action sequences.

One set piece features a horse stampede during which the ax-wielding

hero (Benjamin Walker) does gymnastic battle with the vampire who has killed Lincoln’s mother. That biographical detail, apparently, was left out of most history books about the 16th president.

According to the book and film, Lincoln’s motive of vengeance evolves from the personal to the political when the shopkeeperturned-lawyer-turned-statesman realizes that the institution of slavery was created as a way to feed white Southern vampires, resulting in the Civil War. Strangely enough, it works.

Internal logical consistency is all any lover of vampire films asks for.

And the admittedly ludicrous conceit, while one giant metaphor, is, for the most part, airtight. Despite the addition of such noncanonical vampire attributes as invisibility, the film respects tradition. Vampires’ aversion to silver is a pivotal part of the film’s spectacular climax, which involves the Battle of Gettysburg, as well as a clash between the

hero and the vampire leader, Adam (Rufus Sewell), on a train hurtling over a burning trestle.

The film’s twist ending — which is based on multiple meanings of the word “railroad” — is nicely satisfying.

As Lincoln, Walker falls just on the dull side of what one expects from an action hero. He seems an oddly wooden choice to play someone who dispatches vampires with a silver-tipped ax wielded like a majorette’s baton.

There’s only one aspect of the film that doesn’t really add up. As with most vampire stories, a bite from a vampire will turn the victim into another vampire — unless, as Adam explains, the person bitten is pure of heart. Those rare souls simply die, which is why Lincoln’s mother did not become a vampire.

But why, then, are there no black vampires? Surely there is one slave, somewhere, whose heart has been hardened by injustice and the lash just enough to grow fangs. MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN (THE WASHINGTON POST )

DeXeZoÊi Gk[[d Xkj >[h Emd Pixar does away with damsels in distress in the fairy tale ‘Brave’

8hWl[ F=

Few movies have been as hotly anticipated this year as “Brave,” which, as the first Pixar movie to revolve around a female heroine, counts as the computer-animated “Hunger Games” of the toddler, tiny and tween sets.

In fact Merida, the flame-tressed Scottish princess at the heart of this she-ro’s quest, bears more than a little resemblance to “Hunger Games” protagonist Katniss, right down to

Family dynamics — not a romance — defines much of the story in Pixar’s “Brave.”

the bow and arrow she wields.

Declaring early in “Brave” that she will be nobody’s queen but her own, Merida (voiced by Glasgow native Kelly Macdonald) is completely on trend within a spate

of revisionist fairy tales in which princesses are expected to cast off prim passivity and access the hidden warrior queen within. Her parents may be grooming her for imminent betrothal, but Merida sees her

wedding as nothing more than “the day I become my mother,” an idea she derides by veritably spitting out that last word.

After dispatching her suitors at an archery competition, Merida

embarks on an adventure that pivots not around the search for true love but the fractured relationship with her mom (voiced by Emma Thompson) — an anti-Freudian twist that gives “Brave” a novel psychological frisson.

As refreshing as it is to see family dynamics, rather than romance, define the fulcrum of the story, the tale that unfolds isn’t the most sophisticated. The conflicts, magic spells, chase sequences and reconciliations feel strangely by-the-book for a studio so well known for throwing the book out entirely.

But “Brave” is attractive enough to be a worthy summer diversion — an accomplishment Merida herself would dismiss as hopelessly shallow, but that makes for a pleasant viewing experience nonetheless.

A Princess Even A Boy Can Love My 4-year-old son has pretty good taste in movies, except for his inexplicable fondness for the “Alvin and the Chipmunks” films.

He’s lucky he gets to grow up in the Pixar Age, when a surprisingly large 8o Ah_ij[d number of the films FW][#A_hXo marketed to kids are not awful.

He’s used to movies he enjoys actually being objectively good, and by

Co ied i[[ci _djh_]k[Z Xo j^[ Yecc[hY_Wbi \eh Ç8hWl[$È ?j ^[bfi j^Wj j^[ h[Z^[WZ[Z fh_dY[ii YWhh_[i W Xem WdZ Whhem$ “objectively” I mean “according to me” (“Chipmunks” aside). Which is why I really hope “Brave,” out Friday, is as good as Pixar’s best. For one thing, it’s the studio’s first movie with a female protagonist.

My son doesn’t have any aversion to female characters, but he does have an aversion to princesses, who usually do not carry weaponry. But he seems intrigued by the commercials for “Brave.” It helps that Merida, the redheaded princess,

carries a bow and arrow (“Like Hawkeye!”).

The conventional wisdom holds that girls will watch movies that feature boys, but boys won’t watch “girl movies.” That is, in my anecdotal experience, becoming less true.

It may have been the case when boy characters were the only ones being written with any depth. But in animation, there’s a clear evolution of female characters getting stronger and more developed: The strides made from Snow White to Ariel to Jessie to EVE have clearly outpaced any progress in live-action cinema. Kids today are used to women being fully realized characters, and I’m hopeful Merida continues the trend.

J^[ ?dl_i_Xb[ MWh KH Filmmakers Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering lift the veil on what they say is one of the U.S. military’s dirtiest secrets — an epidemic of rape and

sexual violence that is ignored by top brass. That’s the takeaway from this riveting, heartbreaking and infuriating film, in which a core group of courageous women (and a few men) give voice to the hundreds of thousands who have suffered and survived harassment in every service branch.

Keira Knightley stars in the odd “Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.”

This film, starring Steve Carell and Keira Knightley, is a strange little movie. Unsure whether it wants to be a quirky, sad-eyed indie pixie or a brassy, raunchy broad, it veers uneasily between the two, never quite settling into a comfortable or recognizable groove. A.H.

De BWk]^_d] CWjj[h Cel_[ Stars best known for sitcom work take on a deadly serious topic with decidedly mixed results. Courteney Cox (“Cougar Town”) directs and plays a part in the new Lifetime movie “Tall Hot Blonde,” a harrowing tale of Internet deception that leads to obsession and murder.

Garret Dillahunt stars as a dutiful blue-collar husband, Thomas Montgomery, first seen cutting steel tubes at a factory. He’s the breadwinner, dinner-maker and the one who drives his kids to swim meets and practice. His loving wife, Carol (Laura San Giacomo, “Just Shoot Me”), means well, I7J

but her working routine takes its toll as well. They live in a modest house and share a sex life best described as grim.

Is it any wonder that the introduction of online gambling and sexually charged anonymous chats makes Thomas’ head explode with unrealized desire? Eventually, Thomas’ obsession with a purported 18-year-old beauty he meets online ends in murder.

Like many movies of this ilk, “Tall Hot Blonde” has a difficult time offering a nuanced view of working-class life. It doesn’t help that Dillahunt is best known for his role as the dithering underemployed dad on the Fox sitcom “Raising Hope.” Watching him joylessly toil behind a power saw or seethe at unpaid bills and unmet expectations, you’re almost waiting for this tragedy to erupt into farce.

Elephants on Alert A real-life catastrophe unfolds in the documentary “Ivory Wars” (8 p.m. Sat., Discovery), which examines the growth in illegal poaching that threatens Africa’s elephants. A 23-year ban on ivory sales remains in place, but demand for tusks has never been higher, fueled by the growing affluence of the Far East. Most startling is how one area of northern Kenya has lost a quarter of all of its elephants in just the past three years. (UNIVERSAL UCLICK)

“The image says it all, and it’s all phenomenal. There’s so much we love in this photo.

Generally speaking, we love throwback uniforms. Why? Because they’re often better than what teams are rocking these days.”

— Cecilio’s Scribe at LEGENDOFCECILIOGUANTE.COM thinks the Tampa Bay Rays uniforms for a “Turn Back the Clock” series later this year are appropriately creative, even though the team wasn’t around in the ’70s.

— @THISISBOSSI might jump on the bandwagon after the launch of “Titan of Trinidad,” blog parody of the “Prince of Petworth” blog, which specializes in hyper-local neighborhood coverage in D.C.

World renowned Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black belt, Murilo Santana, will be teaching a workshop on the techniques that have made him one of the best in the world. It is an exceptional opportunity to learn from one of the top jiu jitsu champions in the world.

Don’t miss this chance to learn the techniques and improve your game/skills this Saturday, the 23rd, from 12 to 2 PM, hosted at 50/50 Academy, 3601 Fairfax Dr., Arlington (2nd floor). The seminar is $45 and open to all.

“I never thought I’d ever hear myself utter such words post1995. But after Monday’s reveal of the Surface tablet … and [Thursday]’s Windows Phone 8 announcement … I’m a believer that Microsoft is the most innovative consumer tech company right now. No, seriously.”

— Adrian Covert at GIZMODO.COM is thoroughly impressed with how the oft-maligned company has made itself relevant again.

“What could he possibly be uttering in that frozen moment? A question about the F Stop on the camera, of course, [Alec] Baldwin said.

That’s obvious. What other word could be coming out of his mouth?”

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Questions of adequacy or inadequacy must not enter into the equation as you try to solve a problem.

Joe Louis begins his reign as world heavyweight boxing champion by knocking out Jim Braddock in the eighth round of their fight in Chicago.

Fill in each column, row and 3x3 box with the digits 1 through 9 without repeating any. The twist in Samurai Sudoku is that the digits that appear in the overlapping boxes must work for both puzzles. A piece of advice to get you started: Don’t focus on completing one grid at a time. Keep the whole puzzle in mind as you go, because filling in a number in one grid could give you clues to another.

‘I Pushed His Face With a Fist’

Rielle Hunter, girlfriend of John Edwards, wants to get back into the working world, she told People magazine.

Hunter said she’d like to work in TV, maybe on “some hip documentary series that helps people grow in relationships.” She and Edwards are still an item, she said, though they live 2.5 hours away from each other. “I like my space,” Hunter explained. (EXPRESS)

According to the Sun newspaper, Johnny Depp could pay former partner Vanessa Paradis upward of $155 million to keep their split amicable. The Daily Mail reports that Depp is involved with his 26-year-old “Rum Diary” co-star Amber Heard. (EXPRESS)

Alec Baldwin denied punching a photographer recently. “If I had punched him, I would be in jail right now, rightfully so,” Baldwin told David Letterman on Wednesday. “I kind of pushed him ... because he almost hit me in the face with the camera.” (AP)
