PEROT MUSEUM
Exotic journey into virtual rainforest opens By Taylor McDonnell taylor@mayadpr.com
Who is the fairest fowl of all? Found only in New Guinea, birds-of-paradise are among nature’s most beautifully bizarre flying creatures. Opening Saturday, Oct. 8 at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, “Birds of Paradise,” developed by National Geographic and The Cornell Lab of Ornithology, reveals all 39 species of these elusive birds for the first time. The exhibition will take visitors on an exotic journey through a virtual rainforest in New Guinea to witness the spectacular plumage, shape-shifting and dazzling dance moves of these sassy and bodacious birds. A science exhibition, art show and natural history display in one, “Birds of Paradise” follows the adventures of photographer Tim Laman and Cornell Lab of Ornithology scientist Edwin Scholes — who made 18 trips to New Guinea over eight years. The exhibition, born out of the
duo’s important scientific achievement, highlights their groundbreaking research with new information about each of the 39 birds-of-paradise species, all photographed for the first time in history. Interactive stations such as “Dance, Dance Evolution” will let visitors groove along with the birds to learn their signature moves. Presented by Highland Capital Management, “Birds of Paradise” makes its only stop in Texas at the Perot Museum through Jan. 8, 2017. “’Birds of Paradise’ is a story of darPhoto courtesy of National Geographic ing expeditions, world culture and the science behind the world’s most fascinat- One of the "Birds of Paradise." ing feathered flirts, told only as National adults-only “Social Science: Flight” on Geographic can, with stunning imagery, Oct. 14; “First Thursday Late Night: compelling video, natural soundscapes, Aviation” on Nov. 3; and the famitraditional wood carvings, artifacts and ly-fun “Discovery Days: Birds” on Dec. engaging educational activities for all 10.

LIFE ON THE TRAIL
‘You'll have to answer to your own pressure’ By Dr. Beth Leermakers bethleermakersphd.com
Time pressure is one of my biggest stressors. I hate feeling rushed and running late, so last Thursday was particularly stressful. I gave a stress management seminar at 11 a.m. in Fort Worth. Because I wasted a few minutes checking my Facebook messages, I left the house 10 minutes later than planned and got stuck in traffic. I rolled into the parking lot at 10:52 and Dr. Leermakers only barely managed to start on time. After my seminar, rushing to get out of the next speaker’s way, I quickly disconnected my laptop, leaving my charger behind. Of course, I needed it the next day, so I had to make another 60-mile round trip to collect it. That afternoon I was supposed to pick up several dogs at the Mesquite shelter, take them to the vet and drop them off at boarding. As I was leaving Fort Worth for the second time, I realized I’d forgotten the necessary shelter paperwork and a second car key (so I could leave the A/C running while I juggled dogs at the vet on the 90-degree afternoon). As I debated whether to swing by my house to pick up those items, I told the rescue volunteer that I was running an hour late. As a result, two wonderful shelter volunteers took the dogs to the vet for me so all I had to do was pick them up and drop them off at the boarding facility. When I got to the shelter, I was pretty frazzled. I took my credit card out of my wallet to be ready to pay the adoption fee. When it came time to pay, I couldn’t find my credit card. I insisted that I’d already given it to the shelter staff, so we all wasted five minutes looking for my card. When I finally stormed out to my car, fuming about having to make a special trip to an ATM to get
cash, I discovered my card at the bottom of my purse. Oops! Turns out I only thought I’d handed it to someone. By the time I left the shelter at 3:30 p.m., LBJ was already a parking lot, so the trip home took twice as long as usual. What can you do to avoid the stress of time pressure? Allow extra travel time for traffic delays. This one is obvious, and yet I didn’t do it. Avoid distractions. Knowing I needed to get out the door on time, I should have stayed away from Facebook. Slow down and think about what you’re doing. I was allotted 60 minutes for my presentation, and I didn’t run over. I could have taken an extra minute to be sure I had everything before leaving. At the shelter I should have left my credit card in my wallet until I needed it. Cleaning my purse so I can find things would help, too. Plan ahead and get organized. Think about what you need for the day’s activities and put those things (such as my paperwork and extra car key) in your purse, briefcase or car that morning or the night before so you’re ready to roll. Avoid taking on too much. Set limits and say no. Know how much you can reasonably accomplish in a day without stressing yourself out. In hindsight, I could have told the rescue volunteer that I was too busy that day to pick up the dogs at the shelter. Someone else who lived closer would have done it. Communicate and ask for help. Because I told the volunteer I was running late, she asked other volunteers to take the shelter dogs to the vet to save me time. What will you do to reduce time pressure?

Voice of the game says goodbye By David Mullen
david@katytrailweekly.com The Texas Rangers get another swing at the Toronto Blue Jays. In late March, I predicted that the Rangers would play the Chicago Cubs in the World Series, and I am not backing down now. The Cubs amassed the best record in all of baseball with 103 wins and secured home field advantage throughout the National League playoffs. The Rangers, with 95 wins, gained home field advantage through the American League playoffs. It will make a difference, especially for the Rangers. Texas faces the powerful Blue Jays for the first time since Rougned Odor punched Jose Bautista, whose bat toss after his AL division series clinching home run that made him Rangers’ enemy #1. Since then, the Rangers have added outfielders Carlos Gomez (whose career seems to have come back to All Star status), future Hall of Famer Carlos Beltran and All Star catcher Jonathan Lucroy to an already potent lineup. They must play strong defense and avoid base running blunders that haunted them all season to make it to the World Series. But this team is built for the playoffs, and can start an impressive one-two pitching duo of Cole Hamels and Yu Darvish. The bullpen, which provided many nail-biting moments this season, must come together. Pressure will be on closer Sam Dyson. The Cubs should coast to the NL crown. They have no weaknesses and the Wrigley Field faithful have been waiting for this chance since 1908. Plus, their playoff competition comes in injury-riddled. For the Rangers, Globe Life Park could be the tie-breaker, especially if they face the Boston Red Sox in the AL championship

series. The fewer games that Texas plays at Fenway Park, the better. But first they must square off against the Blue Jays in what is sure to be a fistfight. *** This weekend’s Ryder Cup served notice that professional golf is alive and well and surviving without Tiger Woods. In an awe-inspiring Ryder Cup match — a competition between continents that takes place every two years — the U.S. squad beat a team of golfers representing Europe 17-11. Woods, who played a bit part as an assistant captain, could only watch as his former competitors played brilliantly in a series of pressure packed matches. The beauty of the Ryder Cup is that the team scores are tracked hole-by-hole and cheering for your respective home team is not only allowed, it is encouraged. While the par 3, 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale at the Waste Management Phoenix Open is thought to be the loudest and rowdiest hole in golf, nothing could beat Sunday’s roar caused by the duel between Rory McIlroy and Patrick Reed at Hazeltine National outside of Minneapolis. U.S. captain Davis Love III put together a team of Ryder Cup veterans and rookies that played in perfect harmony. Phil Mickelson, 46, battled tour veteran Sergio Garcia on Sunday in a match for

the ages. They had 19 birdies between them, and finished — appropriately enough — all square. It was golf at its greatest, even without Tiger Woods. And the roar of the crowd will last for two years. *** Sunday also was the end of an era. After 67 years behind the microphone calling Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers games and a plethora of national sporting events, Vin Scully called it a career. Not only voice of the Dodgers, Scully called the NBC Game of the Week, PGA golf events and NFL football games. He was the play-byplay man for CBS during the NFC Championship game on Sunday, Jan. 10, 1982 when the Dallas Cowboys played the San Francisco 49ers in the game known as “The Catch.” As a child, like so many others back in the 1960s, a transistor radio was under my pillow listening to sporting events as I wandered off to sleep. Often, I could hear the Dodgers games broadcast clear channel up the California coastline. It was a thrill to hear Scully call a game. He set the standard for telling stories and painting pictures. Even in his final broadcast against the San Francisco Giants, he had gems like “His changeup floats in like a soap bubble” and “The flags are mixed up. The ones above the centerfield scoreboard are blowing in and the ones in right field are blowing out.” Of Dodgers first baseman (and former Ranger) Adrian Gonzalez, who has had at least 90 RBIs in the last 10 seasons, Scully said “He is like the butter and eggs man. He’s been delivering for years.” And in his parting shot, Scully said, “I have said enough for a lifetime, and for the last time, I wish you all a very pleasant good afternoon.” Afternoons will not be the same without Vin Scully.

Most of my clients want to eat healthy — they really do — but a single detrimental facTurner Cavender tor gets in their way… they simply don’t have the time. I get it, we all lead busy lives that leave very little extra time for healthy meal prep, but the alternative of fast food meals, frozen dinners and restaurant fare is making us lose in the battle of the bulge. All too often I see clients exercise hard every day, and then flush their results away with irresponsible eating. Don’t let this be you! To get you on the fast track to quick, healthy eating here are three healthy meals that take only five minutes to prepare: Fast meal #1: Traditional pancakes are filled with carbs, grains and a plethora of simple sugars — not something you’d consider healthy. In fact, eat pancakes regularly and you’ll find your fitness results quickly disappear. However, this simple, wholesome, three-ingredient pancake recipe is the exception. It’s a pancake that you’re able to enjoy without guilt. Three-Ingredient Pancakes • • • •
3 ripe bananas 2 eggs 3 Tablespoons almond butter 1 /2 teaspoon vanilla extract or ground cinnamon *optional Mash the bananas in a bowl (or blend in a food processor). Add the eggs, almond butter and flavor additions. Mix until smooth. Preheat a griddle or skillet. Lightly grease with coconut oil. Pour the batter in 1/4 cup scoops. Once you see bubbles form, flip and cook the other side until golden. Serve with fresh fruit.
Fast meal #2: Tuna is a wonderful fish that’s packed with muscle-building protein. However, most tuna salad recipes drowned out the benefits with a boatload of calorie-packed mayonnaise. Here’s a simple and light version of tuna salad that serves four. It cuts out high-calorie mayonnaise and adds
some chopped fruit and vegetables to really liven it up. This is a great recipe to enjoy as you journey towards your fitness goal. Tuna Salad • • • • • • • •
1 green apple, chopped 2 green onions, tops only, chopped 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped 2 cans albacore tuna, in drained 1 Tablespoon dijon mustard 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted 1/4 cup red grapes, halved Sea salt and pepper to taste Mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl and serve immediately. I like to serve this salad in large butter lettuce leaves, or scooped onto avocado halves. Enjoy!
Fast meal #3: Yogurt has often been advertised as a healthy, guilt-free snack or meal replacement. This always bothers me because I know just how many simple carbs and sugars most flavored yogurts contain. Many people are deceived into thinking that the creamy, fruit flavored snack will help them lose fat, while it does just the opposite. Here’s a recipe for a creamy, fruit flavored snack that is actually packed with protein and free of fattening sugars. Creamy Protein Mousse
• 1 cup chopped fruit • 1 (13.5oz) can coconut milk, full fat (chilled in the fridge overnight) • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • 1 frozen banana, peeled • 1 Tablespoon coconut oil • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract • 1/2 cup stevia-sweetened vanilla protein powder Chill the can of coconut milk in the fridge overnight. Do NOT shake the can up at all! Carefully turn the can over and open from the bottom. Drain out the liquid and scoop the white cream into a food processor. Discard the liquid. Throw all of the ingredients into a food processor. Blend on high until creamy. Enjoy chilled.
While eating healthy, nutritious meals is awesome, don’t forget that exercise is half of the battle when it comes to getting and staying fit. Call or email me today and we will get you started on the exercise program that will reshape your body once and for all!

A tale of two states, one city and many, many bars
By Ryann Gordon
ryannbgordon@yahoo.com College football is now in full swing, and for those of us who take our southern pride very seriously, we know that the weekend we’ve all been waiting for is finally here. I’m talking about the biggest rivalry that those from these parts know all too well — a rivalry of two states, two prestigious universities and two highly oppositional, yet ironically similar groups of people — I’m talking about the Red River Showdown. And as we say in the south, OU/TX weekend is here ya’ll! The Cotton Bowl will be taking over Dallas this weekend, and as an OU alumni now residing in this great city, I feel that I must share some wisdom on the art of partying … Oklahoma style. And because I’ve spent the last decade of my life counting down the days until we got to

Oklahoma girls just want to have fun in Dallas during the Red River Showdown. go redneck crazy in Dallas for OU/TX weekend, I’m prepared to help you all join in on celebration that is the Red River Showdown. OU/TX weekend is what college kids would call a “shitshow;” or in other words, there is a full-on party surrounding this rivalry that has historically separated these two states, while somehow managing to bring us all together. Whether you’re watching from the stands of the Cotton Bowl
stadium in Fair Park or tailgating in Uptown, Deep Ellum, Lower Greenville — you name it — chants will be ringing from every bar, restaurant and street corner all day long Saturday. And let’s just say … the beer will be flowing. Texas and Oklahoma fans alike will come together this weekend to toast their drinks (hopefully not pour them on one another) and celebrate this historic civil rivalry. Prepare for downtown Dallas
and the surrounding areas to be flooded with crimson and burnt orange; but do also prepare for what bars to go to for drink specials and crowds that fit your type. Bars will be packed from Thursday through Saturday, but one of the best places to watch the game (aside from Fair Park, of course) is downtown. House of Blues is a fan favorite for watching the game with its many surrounding TVs on every wall,

and Frankie’s Downtown will open at 7 a.m. on game day and feature two $4 drinks, the Boomer Sooner and Bevo Blaster. You can find more deals downtown at Happiest Hour, where they will be offering $1 off domestic cans as well as themed cocktails. Uptown will probably be the most popular place to go for young adults, and bars such as Katy Trail Ice House, Trophy Room, BBC, The Ginger Man, Christie’s and more will be full of college kids whose chants will be heard from across the metroplex. The Nodding Donkey opens early on game day, featuring brunch and $3 mimosas; and just over in Oak Lawn, Victory Tavern will celebrate with traditional tailgating eats, hotdogs and burgers as well as drink specials. Another area that will be booming (or doing anything but) on game day is Lower Greenville and Knox/
Henderson. The Granada Theater hosts a famous watch party, and Henderson Tap House, the official bar of the OU Club of Dallas, plans to throw a huge parking lot party beginning at 9 a.m. that is sure to attract a mass of Oklahoma students and alum, and some of the more daring Texas fans. The official Texas Exes tailgate will be inside Gate 5 at the fairgrounds, but it has previously been held at Dodie’s Reef, for those that don’t plan to venture to Fair Park for the game this year. More bars to watch the game from include Stan’s Blue Note, the Old Monk, Capitol Pub, which will be offering cheap eats and $1 Texas drafts, and The Dubliner, where you can get $2 jello shots (color-themed, of course) and $2.50 domestic beers. Don’t go just for the deals though; go for the love of partying; for the love of the game; and most certainly, for the love of your state.

THE HOPE CENTER
Founded by June Hunt, this organization supports more than 40 Christian ministries and their work with those in need.
By Sally Blanton
sallyblanton455@gmail.com Each week, Katy Trail Weekly will feature a charity that is doing remarkable work in Dallas, a city known for philanthropy and generosity.
QW hat is your mission or highest
purpose? The Hope Center is a Christian, collaborative home to more than 40 ministries. Our mission is to strengthen the impact of ministries in North Texas and worldwide. Our vision is that every person on earth would know the name and love of Jesus Christ. We accomplish this by providing a state-of-the-art facility at half the market cost, so our nonprofits can focus their passion, time and money on mission critical initiatives rather than on maintenance and administrative needs.
A
MORE C-CLASS. E-CLASS. S-CLASS. AND FIRST-CLASS.
QW hat are some examples of those who
are served? A wide variety of groups and individuals: homeless shelters, special needs children, individuals with threatened religious liberties, athletes and coaches, at-risk teens, orphans and all types of counseling for children, teens, families and marriages are just a few of the groups reached.

The Hope Center strengthens Christian ministries in their mission to share the message of Jesus Christ and transform lives all over the world.
QW hat sort of volunteer jobs are
available? Volunteer positions are available in many of the individual ministries and can be found on our website at thehopecenter.org/getinvolved.
A
Q Tell us the name of a volunteer who
always goes beyond the call of duty. It is hands down Julie Melnick Dearien. She is cheerful and responsible, sees things to do without being told, and is a great ambassador in the community for what we do at The Hope Center.
A
QW hat do you think is the most import-
ant thing you do for the community? Some examples of our support are HopeWorks and other counseling ministries, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Child Evangelism Fellowship, Joni and Friends who serves children with disabilities, adoption services and supporting at risk teens, to name a few.
A
QW hat is rewarding about your job?
A S eeing the direct impact of more than
40 nonprofits working around the world and right here in the DFW community is amazing. Praying together with our nonprofits is a huge blessing. Hearing the daily impact on lives through our ministries is a blessing. It is an honor to raise funds to support this incredible work!
QW hat does the future hold for your nonprofit?
A I t is our dream and vision to have more
Hope Centers in other communities in DFW and around the nation. With more than 50 nonprofits on our waiting list, there is clearly a need for more Hope Centers in the near future.

DOTTY'S TRUE TEXAS CUISINE
Prime location still masters prime beef By Dotty Griffith

dotty.griffith@yahoo.com The restaurant incubator at Trinity Groves nurtures some new baby beefcake. Last spring, The Hall Bar and Grill, subtitled “the saloon-style steakhouse,” joined the other concept tryouts; seafood, barbecue, gastro pub, Mediterranean and sushi. The Hall is the steakhouse reincarnation of famed steak meister Bob Sambol, founder of the very high-end Bob’s Steak and Chop House. Sambol’s goal with The Hall is to slightly downsize the mega steakhouse tab without leaving open the question, “Where’s the beef?” There’s plenty of it, as well as a long bone pork chop, seafood including salmon, shrimp and Atlantic cod. Prime beef options include 6, 9 and 14-ounce filets mignons; 10 and 14-ounce New York strips; as well as 16-ounce ribeyes. And don’t forget the Waygu beef, raised nearby at Rosewood Ranch in Ennis. Select from top sirloin, London broil and teriyaki marinated sirloin. Open for lunch as well as dinner, The Hall’s midday menu offers the same dinnertime salmon and fried shrimp. And did I read correctly? Fish sticks?! I bet its really fish and chips. As well as burgers, prime rib and sliced steak sandwiches. And, of course, ditto the dinner steak selections. In other words, eat a sandwich or do the steakhouse thing at lunch. On the dinner menu, there are some quirky, non-traditional starter options: a trio of Hofmann’s brand frankfurters with cubed cheese, spicy mustard and barbecue sauce. More appealing, the Creole strudel: puff pastry filled with seafood and Andouille sausage. Not sure why the griddled pimento cheese gets billed as a

starter instead of a sandwich, especially when it is served with a fetching smoked tomato red pepper bisque. Makes me long for a cold, rainy day when grilled cheese and creamy tomato soup ward off the chill. Chef James Rose certainly knows how to cook a steak. He’s also got a way with sides. Let’s start with the obvious — the carrot. Bob’s Steak and Chophouse was known for the big ol’ glazed carrot that spanned the diameter of the plate. It was HUGE. And, to me, totally unappetizing. Now comes the carrot à la The Hall. Rose’s menu offers a side of cinnamon orange glazed baby carrots with lacy green tops. Pretty and edible, if you’re a fan of cooked carrots. Personal note: To me, carrots have always been more about color on the plate than the palate. I rarely eat cooked carrots and never prepare them. Still, props to The Hall for keeping Sambol’s signature carrot but repurposing it into an edible option.
Housemade egg noodles with butter and parsley are the hidden gem among the side stars. Comfort food nonpareil. There’s, of course, an array of potato dishes; mashed, baked, fried and roasted. Brussels sprouts, roasted with olive oil and shallots then finished with balsamic vinegar, star among the veggies. But how can you lose with broiled asparagus, creamed spinach or sautéed mushrooms, all steakhouse stalwarts? As at most steakhouses, these are served on the side for sharing. Warning — you will resent sharing the noodles. The wine list is the secret sauce of The Hall. Big wines are real deals such as the Plumpjack 2013 cabernet sauvignon for $175. What better than to sip on a steal of an epic bottle of red while gazing upon the photos of football players lining the walls. Huh? Well, that’s the spin on the name. Sambol is a huge fan of college football and he’s got pictures of famous (Roger Staubach) and not-so-famous college gridiron warriors in rows on the walls. Know a player you want to honor? Send Sambol a print for The Wall at The Hall. Lest we repeat the obvious, The Hall is a very masculine restaurant from atmosphere to menu. Man up and order a steak. THE HALL BAR AND GRILL

With that, the State Fair auto show — like most significant shows — remains a great way to comparison shop one auto, truck or SUV against another, back to back and door to door. But if looking for a wide selection of cars or the upscale Euro brands, wait for the Dallas show — at Market Hall — in early spring.

TRAIL TO GOOD HEALTH
megan@thelyonsshare.org As soon as the first hint of Fall rolls around, pumpkin pops up everywhere you turn. Pumpkin treats adorn every Pinterest homepage. Kids head to pumpkin patches and we see jack-o’-lanterns on front doorMegan Lyons steps throughout the neighborhood. And of course, Starbucks brings out its famous Pumpkin Spice Latte. Forbes estimates $100 million of Pumpkin Spice Lattes sales each season, and the Pumpkin Spice Latte Twitter page has 114,000 followers! (In case you’re wondering, though, it is not healthy!) Outside of the sugar-laden latte, pumpkin itself is actually quite healthy. Packed with fiber, Vitamin A, potassium and Vitamin C, it is a great way to add both nutrients and flavor to some of your regular meals. Just be sure to buy the canned pure pumpkin (the only ingredient should be pumpkin), not the canned pumpkin pie filling, which includes sugar and other additives. I personally prefer Libby’s brand. If you want to enjoy pumpkin flavor in a healthy way, here are my top six ways to enjoy pumpkin this season (no lattes, pies or baked goods involved!). • Yogurt. To give your yogurt some fall flavor, plus a boost of nutrients, add 1/2 cup canned pumpkin to 3/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt. Also stir in 1 tbsp. chia seeds (bit.ly/chiashots), 1 tbsp. rolled oats, 1 tsp. cinnamon, and a few drops of stevia (bit. ly/steviadropper). Enjoy this healthy pumpkin pudding! • Oatmeal. If you are bored by your morning oatmeal, adding a big dollop of pumpkin and some cinnamon to it can make it seem special with minimal effort. Want to enjoy the delicious
fall flavor, but still not quite ready for a warm breakfast? Try the Skinny Pumpkin Overnight Oats at bit.ly/pumpkinoatsrecipe. • Baking substitution. Did you know that pumpkin can be a healthy baking substitution all year-round? Simply swap it 1:1 for oil (so, a recipe calling for 1/2 cup oil can use 1/2 cup canned pumpkin with minimal texture or taste changes), or 3/4:1 for butter (1 cup butter is replaced by 3/4 cup pumpkin). Pumpkin can also be substituted for eggs in baking (1 egg is replaced by 1/4 cup pumpkin). • Smoothies. Ready for a healthy pumpkin milkshake? This tastes indulgent but is really quite healthy! Simply blend one frozen or fresh banana, 1/2 cup canned pumpkin, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or regular milk), 1/2 tsp. vanilla and 1 cup ice together. You may add one serving of vanilla protein powder for an added boost of protein to promote lean muscle growth, and 1/4 or 1/2 avocado for some healthy fat to keep you fuller for longer. If you’re brave, add a serving of spinach or a greens powder like Amazing Grass (bit.ly/ amazinggrasspack). • Tea. Believe it or not, pumpkin tea is delicious! I like the kind available at bit.ly/pumpkintea, and Trader Joe’s makes a tasty version as well! Brew up a cup and imagine that the Texas weather was crisp enough to need to cozy up by a fire! • Chili. If you’ve never added pumpkin to chili, you’re missing out! The flavor is delicious and the nutrient boost is great, too! Try the version at bit.ly/healthypumpkinchili.

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK By Stella Wilder
The coming week will see many individuals taking advantage of opportunities that are entirely self-made. This puts such a person in the enviable position of being able to choose between two or more options that are equally beneficial, enjoyable and lucrative. “Many” is not “all,” however, and the difference between those who do and do not prevail will be very simple. Those who are able to plan for the future will know what to do; their ability to visualize what is likely to happen and tailor their behavior accordingly is what makes the difference between success and failure — it all begins with foresight. Indeed, fortunetelling may become a highly prized ability! Those who are able to smooth out the bumps in the road will have another advantage, as they will be able to turn in the highest quality performance each and every day, achieving a level of consistency that is admired by others. It's not enough to think of a plan; one must also do it! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) You will want to keep your eyes on the prize and remember that it's not over until it's over. Seek weekend rewards! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – There is much that others can tell about you simply by looking at you, but only by talking with you at length can anyone know the real you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You're likely to get your shot, and being ready will make all the difference. You're ahead — but you must stay ahead! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – You may be surprised by what comes at you at the hands of someone much younger. He or she has your number — at least for now. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) No one promised you “fair,” but only a hard-fought contest. The table is set for you to do something memorable. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – The difference will be in how you address the difficulties you encounter; you cannot avoid them, but you can neutralize them. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) You'll find that you have to work harder to reap the usual results, but the current phase shouldn't last all that long. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – You may be feeling stiff and out of sorts throughout much of the week. Trust a friend or partner to smooth the way for you as often as possible. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You'll want to go directly to the one who makes the decisions to find out what your role will be on the job. Get specifics! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – You may have trouble making a decision that will

affect many in your care. A competition heats up between you and a rival. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You may want to reach out to those who haven't responded favorably to you in the past. You have a chance to change some minds! (March 6-March 20) – You're not likely to respond well when someone tries the same old tricks with you. You know just how to respond — and when. ARIES (March 21-April 4) Despite your assertions, a rival may actually be doing much better than anyone has been able to tell. You have your work cut out for you. (April 5-April 19) – You can engage in some energetic dialogue with someone who disagrees with you on tactics, but not on overall strategy. TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You want to upgrade your efforts, which will require you to learn a few new techniques — and perhaps adopt a new overall plan. (May 6-May 20) – You will be able to track cause and effect very clearly and avoid any serious negative developments. GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You may be more likely than others to make the most of an

Very soon, you may find yourself involved in something much more serious. CANCER (June 21-July 7) You'll want to pay close attention to the developments resulting from a past decision. It may be too late to make changes. (July 8-July 22) – Someone may accuse you of telling lies, but that's only because he or she doesn't want to hear the truth from your lips! LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You aren't able to do everything well, but you can do many things far better than most. Don't get carried away, however! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – A loved one is able to give you exactly what you have been hoping for. You both may have cause to celebrate as the weekend approaches. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) No one is likely to understand just what you are up to, and the time will surely come when you will have to explain yourself. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – You must wait until certain tasks are completed before moving on to a new endeavor that you are eager to get underway.

Tokyo remains one of the world’s best cities
Photos by Michael Wald
Author Michael Wald on Takeshita Dori pedestrian shopping street in Harajuku in Tokyo, Japan.
By Michael Wald
wald.world@yahoo.com Undoubtedly one of the world’s great cities, modern-day Tokyo is a marvel to see. Clean, vibrant, sprawling, intense, pulsating, neon-illuminated, urbane and yet genteel. If you have a chance to visit, plan to linger as long as possible to take it all in. There’s a lot to see and do. I was unprepared for the stunning mass of the city that is Tokyo. From the top of its tallest buildings and the tourist attraction that used to serve as its broadcast tower, the Tokyo Tower, you see skyscrapers in every direction as far as the eye can see. Today, because of all the tall buildings, a new, higher communication tower dominates the skyline. Tokyo — actually a state or prefecture and not a city — sprawls to meet Yokohama, Japan’s second largest city, a seaport in the surrounding prefecture, because it is so massive.
Surprisingly, although inland, there are a lot of manmade canals and rivers in Tokyo, and as a result, many bridges. The intricate web of waterways provides places along the banks for green parks with bicycle paths. Jogging is a common pastime in this huge city. And even though it is so large and many highways are single lanes, traffic generally flows well. It’s laid out with characteristic Japanese efficiency. But the main reason people move Small bars and pubs of Shinjuku, Tokyo. about freely is the subway system — help push riders into packed immense, cheap, frequent, cars that stop for only a short prompt and clean.

Even during the day, you occasionally see people wearing masks on the street, and there is an entire display of masks to purchase in every convenience store, 7-Eleven and Lawson’s being the two most common. In the center of Tokyo is the Imperial Palace where the figurehead emperor still resides. Still privately owned by his family, it’s guarded. However, the grounds form the Central Park-equivalent for Tokyo, a huge park open to the public and heavily used. Their typical Japanese gardens, serene and peaceful, reflect the Japanese culture. On the outskirts of the gardens, the Imperial Hotel is the oldest hotel in Tokyo. It has burned several times, been rebuilt and remodeled, but it remains a huge and charming place. The restaurants there are expensive, and the Imperial Bar is one of the oldest upscale meeting places in town where you can easily drop hundreds of dollars drinking sake and nibbling on Japanese bar food in a very dark lounge. The entrance is adorned with autographed photos of many famous people that have graced its doors. There are so many shopping areas in Tokyo that it would be impossible to see them all. Ginza, near the Imperial Hotel (under the adjacent elevated railroad tracks), is very upscale. Department stores there are as nice as any in the world with prices to match.

expensive, but you can find something delicious you can afford. The oldest Kabuki theater is in Ginza. Line up outside for tickets to the next act. Shibuya and nearby Takeshita Dori street are two other shopping areas that attract many visitors. Shibuya is a favorite with celebrities while Takeshita Dori attracts teenagers dressed up as anime characters — very Japanese. Turn off the main street and you’ll immediately be in a quiet residential neighborhood around a Shinto shrine like those you find scattered everywhere around Japan. There’s so much to see and do it’s impossible to cover it all. The Tokyo Convention and Visitors Bureau has an English guide to the city and all its many districts and attractions.
At night, karaoke or dine in Japanese style at a stand-up tiny restaurant carved out of an alcove on the outside of an office building, or eat at one of the many gourmet restaurants. Tokyo has more Michelin 3-star rated (the highest) restaurants than anywhere else in the world. One thing that may be difficult is getting into a Geisha teahouse; you’ll need an invite from a local patron. Tokyo’s truly a worldclass, one-of-kind place, a favorite to return to over and over and never get bored. Explore and find whatever suits you there.

MOVIE TRAILER
Film adaptation of ‘The Girl on the Train’ is a train wreck By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood
Oh, David Fincher, this is your entire fault. The success of Fincher’s “Gone Girl” has made it sheik to put every bestselling thriller on the screen, thus the film adaptation of “The Girl on the Train.” While this massively popular book may be a hit with many readers, the film version is a boring and predictable mess that goes off the rails about 30 minutes in. The movie is told from the perspective of three women, Rachel (Emily Blunt), Megan (Haley Bennett) and Anna (Rebecca Ferguson). Anna is married to Tom (Justin Theroux), who used to be married to Rachel. Anna and Tom employ Megan, who lives a few houses down with her husband, Scott (Luke Evans), as their nanny. Every single one of these characters is deeply flawed, but none of them approach Rachel’s level of crazy. She spends most of her days sucking down copious amounts of vodka while riding a train in and out of Manhattan just because the train track goes by her old house. One of the biggest problems with “The Girl on the Train” is that it spends an hour trying to get you on Rachel’s side while watching her reach peak stalker
levels. Her booze-filled blackouts cause her to forget huge chunks of time, which puts her square in the crosshairs of Detective Riley (Allison Janney) once Megan mysteriously disappears. After Rachel goes missing, the movie becomes a bait and switch whodunnit that poses everyone as a suspect, most notably Megan’s psychiatrist, Dr. Kamal Abdic (Edgar Ramirez). There are flashbacks that begin with title cards, but there’s never any indication of when the flashback ends and they are used as lazy “ah ha” or “gotcha” moments. The conclusion is a violent snooze that runs with the theory that two wrongs do indeed make a right. The screenplay by Erin Cressida Wilson is clearly framing Rachel as some sort of misunderstood hero, but there is difficulty in rooting for her. The biggest problem with “The Girl on the Train” is that it’s put together with a lack of creativity that is commonly reserved for late Friday nights on Cinemax. When a screenplay is this straightforward and every twist is blatantly obvious, the director has to be imaginative enough to create suspense. Instead, director Tate Taylor’s pedestrian style makes an non-inventive script that much more boring. The three male leads, Theroux, Evans and Ramirez, are one note machinations only
present to be crime suspects. They play the roles of oblivious idiot, raging hubby and shoulder to cry on, leading to wooden, stiff performances from all of them. It’s not so great for the women either. There’s little depth to Rebecca Ferguson and Haley Bennett’s roles, but only enough to almost make you care.

Certain artists make quite an impression ABC’s “Batman” series, did killer sendups of Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster among many.

Voight, either, and my Val Kilmer isn’t too exciting. Dr. Ruth Westheimer, Ross Perot and Truman Capote — they came (to me) in about five minutes. They already were caricatures. Jack Nicholson’s easy to do, too. But Robert Redford, how would you do that? I have no idea. And even if you did him, well, people wouldn’t respond.” Little wouldn’t have that problem with Trump. It’s all there — the hair, the sneer, the unmistakable voice, the oft-derailed trains of thought and the thick coating of pomposity. Darrell Hammond did him well on “Saturday Night Live.” But Baldwin made Trump his own last Saturday night on the 42nd season premiere of “SNL.” Baldwin’s Trump, debating opposite Kate McKinnon’s Emmy Award-winning sendup of Hillary Clinton, was instantly perfect as the egocentric Republican nominee. “You’re being very mean to me, Coltrane,” he sniped at one point to moderator Lester Holt (played by “Weekend Update” co-anchor Michael Che). One of my Twitter followers commented that Baldwin “channeled his inner ‘My daughter is a pig’ and it really worked for him.” Kind of cold, but that seems like a pretty apt assessment. “SNL” has long been the go-to venue for indelible impressions. Hammond scored big as both Bill Clinton and Al “Lock Box” Gore. Dana Carvey nailed both Perot and George H.W. Bush. Will Ferrell took George W. Bush
to the bank. The list goes on. Before any of them took office, Little had Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan down pat. He also had stories about both of them during that 2002 interview. His first encounter with Nixon was at a California garden party several years before Watergate torpedoed his presidency. “Debbie Reynolds just literally threw me at the president and said, ‘Rich is going to do you.’ I don’t know what he thought of that. I started to do him, and he didn’t have a clue that I was doing him. He just looked at me and said, ‘Who’s this? Why’s he talking this way?’ He must have thought I was a complete lunatic.” Reagan, whom Little considered a friend: “was a little vague and a little out to lunch even back then as president. He loved to tell jokes and talk about his movies. He’d tell me these long, involved jokes. Sometimes they’d go nowhere, and there was no punch line. One time he wanted to know how my impression of him was coming along. I told him that his head is always bobbing and he looks down a lot. And he said, ‘Well, you’d look down, too, if you owned a horse ranch.’” In truth, the only impression I’ve ever really wanted to master is volatile Donald Duck. It’s still not looking promising.

THEATER
‘Bella’ takes audience on a rustic spin through the Old West By Shari Goldstein Stern shari@katytrailweekly.com
You put two of Dallas’ most dazzling, sought-after divas, Liz Mikel as Aunt Dinah and M. Denise Lee in dual roles as Grandma and Booty, onstage together, as Dallas audiences appreciate, and they are a steamroller. And then, cast them as young black women in the Old West in the late 19th century, and bring aboard the talented and acclaimed New York native Ashley D. Kelley to the triumvirate, and how can it get better than that? Whether it’s set in the frigid north, southern deserts, East Coast, middle America or Old West, the cast of “Bella: An American Tall Tale,” at the Dallas Theater Center’s Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre through Oct. 22, engages its audiences in sensing they’re all roaming together on a train through the western plains of the Old West. “Bella: An American Tall Tale” tells the story of Isabella “Bella” Patterson, a young black woman boarding a train in the late 19th Century Old West, in search of her Buffalo Solider sweetheart. Through a series of vignettes in the train cars, the audience chugs through colorful characters’ stories, like Miss Cabbagestalk and Mama, each with some great songs, colorful lyrics and music, all by Kirsten Childs, who also wrote the book. Clint Ramos’ scenic design switches tracks with Japhy Weideman’s lighting to bring a three-dimensional, homey feel to the sets. Photo by Sergio Garcia Director Robert O’Hara said, “I think of Donald Trump’s Ashley D. Kelley brings a fresh “Bella” to laughing Dallas audiences.
slogan of, ‘Making America Great Again’ … so many of the contributions of people of color have been left out of the story-telling about America. We’ve seen and heard hundreds of stories with white protagonists as the heroes and villains, and if there are people of color, they are there in the service of enhancing the heroism or villainy of the white protagonists. Bella turns the western on its head!” Without context, it’s hard to share how central “booty” is to the round of vignettes in songs. Suffice it to say, Bella’s already buxom stature, when costumed with one of the larger than large bustles of the day, derives more than its share of attention and laughs. It’s “booty” this and “booty” that it’s part of the story telling. It’s enough to make one wonder. “Wouldn’t a great big bustle be a great way to camouflouge that which keeps some of us from enjoying leggings?” Following the show, Liz Mikel moderated a Q&A with the audience, in which she said that there are changes being made to the script after almost every performance. On the subject of changes, the exquisite Ms. Mikel is a stunning shadow of her former self, having lost enough weight that it took a while to realize that her character, Aunt Dinah, and she were one and the same. Since we understand it was intentional and not the result of illness, congratulations to the diva on raising the bar on “gorgeous.” “Bella: An American Tall Tale” continues by the Dallas Theater Center at the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre, 2400 Flora St. in the AT&T Performing Arts Center through Oct. 22.
