ARTS DISTRICT

For many students, it will become the walk of life

By Stella Chavez/KERA News There’s a big push in education to boost students’ math skills.

One group hopes to do that by taking elementary and middle school kids on a series of math- and science-focused walks through the Dallas Arts District. It's called walkSTEM. Beginning in March, these free walks will take place monthly and be led by area teachers.

Glen Whitney, founder and director of the National Museum of Mathematics in New York, has designed walks like these around country. He was in Dallas recently and stopped by KERA to talk about his vision. Among the interview highlights: On why he’s designed these walks around the country. “People see mathematics as something that is abstract…that only happens during math class and isn’t connected to the rest of the world,” Whitney said. ”And so, what we and our partners in doing walkSTEM want to accomplish is to show how mathematics actually threads through all the things we see around us in everyday life.”

On how math is behind the plant life in the Dallas Arts District. “These organisms [ornamental grasses] evolved to maximize their chances of reproducing and passing on their genes and so you can see that in something as simple as the arrangement of the seed pods around the central stalk of the grass,” Whitney said. “It wants to be able to distribute its seeds in as many different directions as possible and you see how that’s evolved to a certain geometric arrangement of the seeds around the stalk.”

On what inspired him to do these walks. “I think at the root, we have a cultural problem with mathematics in this country because it’s seen as disconnected,” Whitney commented.

“It’s dismissed as unimportant, irrelevant, scary, too difficult to bother with. And that’s setting us back. We don’t have enough

The Arts District is the centerpiece for walkSTEM. people who get excited about the field, who go into it and help us develop the new ideas and techniques we’re going to need to push our technology forward.”

On the problem with how math is taught. “Math teachers do a great job. They have a tall hurdle to get over…we don’t have the same support at home that we do with reading,” Whitey said. “We get the message all the time: read to your children, talk to them, describe the world they see around you. We need similar messages with mathematics.”

On the end goal for walkSTEM. “For people to — even if they don’t feel like they’re a math person, even if they’re not going to be a mathematician ­­— to be able to understand how mathematics is connected to the world around us and to get a chance to appreciate the beauty and the achievement of mathematics.”

Pugs on parade in perfect place at Puppy Con

Watts made it clear that the costume contest was going to be the event of the day. The costumes on these pooches were absolutely astonishing — some store-bought — but the real show stoppers were the DIY-ed masterpieces. From a tulle-laden Chihuahua made to look like cotton candy to a

Puppy Con attracted dogs of all shapes and sizes to strut their stuff and support the dog community in Dallas. While birds swarmed in pursuit of anything edible, the only snacks eaten were the free doggie treats handed out by the gracious vendors and booths. Puppy Con provided the perfect kick start to Halloween eve for dog lovers and owners alike.

LIFE ON THE TRAIL

A little appreciation goes a long way

By Dr. Beth Leermakers bethleermakersphd.com

I recently kept a rescue dog for a few hours and delivered him to his adopters later that evening. The dog’s foster mom was leaving town and wanted to get on the road before rush hour. A week later I received a hand-written thank you note from the foster, expressing her appreciation. Wow! I was so impressed, and I truly Dr. Leermakers felt appreciated.

I sometimes think that “thank you” is a dying phrase. I’m amazed by the number of animal rescue people (most of whom are also professionals) who don’t bother to acknowledge donations of money, time and/or effort. When I’ve spent several hours and gallons of gas driving a foster dog to the spay/neuter clinic, waiting in line to check in, and then returning later to pick him up, I hope to receive a simple thank you from the rescue group. I’m much more willing to knock myself out for that rescue group again if my efforts are recognized and appreciated. Behavior that is rewarded tends to be repeated.

According to Shawn Achor, author of The Happiness Advantage, even small amounts of positivity in the workplace can increase efficiency, productivity, motivation and creativity.

One easy way to boost positivity is by providing frequent recognition and encouragement to your employees. One study found that project teams who had encouraging managers performed 31 percent better than teams with leaders who were less open with praise. When recognition is specific and deliberately delivered, it can be more motivating than money.

People want to feel appreciated. According to a work.com infographic, 69 percent of employees said they would work harder if they were better recognized.

Complimentary emails, gifts and pats on the back for a job well done are effective ways

to show appreciation. One of my former employers gave everyone cash and/or gifts at the annual holiday party. In addition to receiving that year’s gift, we all drew envelopes containing $50 to $150 in cash. One employee (a hard-working individual in a lower-paid position) was not-so-randomly chosen to receive a car (with the insurance paid). Talk about creating loyalty in your employees!

Some leaders find more creative ways to deliver recognition. At a Danish car company, employees give each other a 2-foot-tall stuffed elephant as a reward for doing something commendable. This visual display of praise reaches beyond the giver and recipient. When other employees see the elephant, they say “Wow! You got the elephant. What did you do?” The recipient tells the story and shares the best practices many times.

Here are a few tips for effective employee recognition: Reward frequently. Provide some form of recognition to your employees at least once a week. Recognition can be praise, growth opportunities or material rewards (money or gift cards). A simple “Thank you. I appreciate your hard work” will often suffice.

Include everyone. All employees should be eligible for your recognition program.

Don’t forget your executives and the people who work in the mail room.

Be specific. Tell the recipient exactly what behaviors or actions s/he took to earn the recognition.

Be quick. Recognize the praiseworthy behavior as soon as possible after it’s performed to reinforce the desired behavior.

These same principles work equally well when showing appreciation to your volunteers or your spouse or children for a job well done.

What will you do to recognize your employees and/or your hard-working family members?

‘Before the Flood’ making waves

By Naima Montacer @naimajeannette

Although there are current political leaders denouncing the existence of climate change and the impact our human activities have on the changing climate, science and public awareness moves forward. The best data to showcase the effect humans are having on our planet is to look at the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in our atmosphere in the past 400,000 years. Scientists drill deep into ice, removing ice cores to evaluate pockets of air trapped inside from thousands of years ago. Using these small pockets of air, they can determine the amount of CO2 that was in the atmosphere during past periods of time when the ice was formed.

The NASA graph utilizing this ice core data shows during ice ages, CO2 levels were around 200 parts per million (ppm), and during the warmer interglacial periods they hovered around 280 ppm.

In the last 400,000 plus years, atmospheric CO2 has never been above 310 ppm, until the 1950s. Since the 1950s we have continued to increase the amount of CO2 in our atmosphere to a record today of 401 ppm. Human activities have caused this unprecedented increase in CO2.

A new documentary provides a stunning visual of the many ways we are increasing CO2 in our atmosphere and adding to climate change.

No Fun League at midpoint

By David Mullen

david@katytrailweekly.com It is the midway point in the 2016 National Football League season and do you know where your Dallas Cowboys are? In first place in the NFC East by two full games. And most football fans prior to the season thought they were lost without starting quarterback Tony Romo. The success of the local team may be the biggest surprise so far in the NFL. Let’s look at what has taken place in an up and down season to date with thrilling moments and chilling controversy, destined to be as exciting in the second half as it was in the first.

Winners: Dallas Cowboys. Only Pinocchio would say that he saw the Dallas Cowboys with a 6-1 record at the halfway point in the season, without their starting quarterback. And speaking of the famous marionette, Jason Garrett is getting some serious coach of the year consideration. Always considered a puppet for Jerry Jones, Garrett got a veteran team to rally behind two rookies in Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott and have them in playoff contention.

While the FCC maybe cracking down on those annoying “robocalls,” the ‘robo-coach” has the Cowboys cracking.

New England Patriots. Lead by coach Bill “Bellyache” Belichick, he looks at the NFL as the Pats and 31 other teams out to get him. He survived losing Tom Brady for four games because of Deflategate. Now, at 7-1, he faces just two difficult opponents (Seattle and Denver) in the second half. The road to the Super Bowl goes through Foxborough.

Oakland Raiders. The Raiders are back with the old swagger of their 70s teams. They are young and they are good. At 6-2 overall and 5-0 on the road (all Eastern time zone games), the Greatness are in first place. They are probably still a year away from contention but, with the Cowboys, have been the most fun team to watch this season.

Colin Kaepernick (with Eric Reid, left) created this season's biggest blowup.

Yellow flag manufacturers. Twenty-three for 200 yards.

What a game for a running back!

Unfortunately, that was the NFL record number of penalties whistled against the Raiders on Sunday. Keep making those flags!

Foreign fans. Out of the goodness of the heart of commissioner Roger Goodell, fans in London and Mexico City get to see NFL games live.

Unfortunately, not the case for West Coast fans where the London games started on TV at 4:30 a.m.

NFL Package. Safety at NFL stadiums is an ongoing issue. There is no better place to watch the games than on DirecTV’s NFL package, which has increased in viewership since its acquisition by AT&T. Losers: Colin Kaepernick and other National Anthem protests. More than violence on and off the field, players in constant legal trouble or injuries that create a watered-down product, surveys report that Kaepernick’s resistance to stand during the National Anthem is the single biggest reason that fans have lost interest in professional football this year.

Cam Newton and concussions.

Carolina quarterback Newton has been vocal about being treated differently by officials when linemen make ferocious hits. Newton may or may not

be right, but the NFL skirted the concussion issue for years, made an advantageous settlement (for the league) with former players, but the concussions live on. The quarterback must be protected. And leading with your head while tackling should be given zero tolerance.

Ties. Everyone hates ties, and not just on Casual Friday. Even hockey and professional soccer leagues have gone out of their way to eliminate the tie and send players and fans home with a definitive decision. The NFL thought they had a foolproof plan to eliminate games ending in a tie. Two games have ended in ties in consecutive weeks.

Back to the drawing board, NFL. Josh Brown. Despite the league’s best efforts to educate, players like the Giants veteran kicker Brown admitted to a history of domestic violence.

There are whispers about the Cowboys Elliott having a past of abuse as well. Is this problem more visible because of the NFL or is it a societal case study?

Arizona Cardinals. In a weak division where they were picked to win or at worst finish second, the Cards have yet to get to .500. Carson Palmer looks old and the team ­— save Larry Fitzgerald — looks uninspired.

Wide receivers. Not as important as quarterbacks, safeties, middle linebackers, centers and tackles on the field, wide receivers continue to be the most vocal players and negative influences on the field. Stop whining or telling us how great you are Dez Bryant, Odell Beckham, Jr., et al.

Preseason games. Reduce the number of preseason games to two and offer them to fans at a reduced rate. No one wants them. Even the Hall of Fame game was cancelled this year.

No Fun League. Come on Man! Let the players celebrate on the field without penalty. The Lambeau Leap is fine, but doing a touchdown dance warrants a 15-yard penalty??

There should be a lot more fun ahead in the season’s second half, even if the NFL treats the field like the town in “Footloose.”

Don’t show up to options are a bit skewed; but regardless, as the young people vote without all the essentials necessary to make a logical in this nation, we must take a vote and, well, actually make it stand and make our progressive voices heard. Don’t sit back into the booth.

While all of us are most and let the elders of our society make the choice that will affect likely prepared by voting day to pick which presidential candithe millennials who will run date we prefer, there are several our country in the future the important state and local races most. Voting is officially cool, on the ballot you should preguys — hop on the train! pare for before you head to the Whether you’re a repubpolls.

choose from canditates for all of the state’s House seats and U.S. House districts, half of the state Senate, statewide offices such as railroad commissioner, state appellate courts and board of education and county positions like sheriffs, county commissioners as well as many county court judges and other offices.

You can find more information on, and compare the candidates running in your area, at c3.thevoterguide.org.

Knowing which party/ nominees you plan to side with is only the part of the preparation, though.

Especially in such a populated area like DFW, you’re going to want to arrive early and be sure to have all the materials and registrations needed to make your trip to the polls as seamless as possible. There are a few things you should know before you show up to the ballot on Tuesday, aside from

which candidates — both local and presidential — you plan on voting for.

Polling places are open on Election Day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., so be sure to prepare ahead whether you will make your stop on the way to or from work — you don’t want to hit rush hour traffic and show up too late to cast your ballot.

Being registered is a given; and you should have been mailed a personal voter registration card with the name of the precinct where you will vote. There are nearly 800 voting precincts in Dallas County alone, from schools to recreational centers and other public facilities. Find your Election Day polling place at dallascountyvotes.org.

Many people don’t realize that you can still vote via absentee ballot if you are out of town, confined in jail, 65 years or older, SOUTH cont'd on page 11

filet to a mammoth 32-ounce long bone Wagyu ribeye “tomahawk chop.”

Our surf and turf special, a filet and steamed lobster tail, exceeded expectations because the lobster was an example of immaculate preparation. Of course the steak was the real Del Frisco’s deal: seared outside and a silky, rosy red medium rare inside.

Yet it was the succulent lobster that won my admiration.

It’s a matter of split second timing to avoid overcooking shellfish thus rendering it tough and stringy. The snowy lobster meat on our plate was sweet, tender and a testament to why we love lobster.

The menu lists sides including traditional offerings such as creamed spinach and thick cut onion rings. Cheffy sides run to roasted cauliflower and charred broccolini. And then there’s the lobster mac and cheese, so creamy and utterly decadent, it’s in a class by itself. You’ll want some.

If you want a truly chef-imagined plate with built-in sides, check out the entrees such as wild boar chops with goat cheese barbecue spiced scalloped potatoes, red jalapeno glaze and mango chutney. The tangy goat cheese deftly balanced the spicy glaze and fruity chutney to give the thick bone-in pork great back-up. Another entrée option includes short rib with grits and charred broccolini.

Del Frisco’s is undoubtedly a formidable addition to the Uptown steakhouse competition. Warning to all: It’s a jungle out there.

As condensed by the author, in 1867, for his public readings. Presented here in seven weekly installments with original illustrations by John Leech.

Part 2 (Marley’s Ghost, cont’d.)

S

crooge took his melancholy dinner in his usual melancholy tavern; and having read all the newspapers, and beguiled the rest of the evening with his banker's book, went home to bed. He lived in chambers which had once belonged to his deceased partner. They were a gloomy suite of rooms, in a lowering pile of building up a yard. The building was old enough now, and dreary enough; for nobody lived in it but Scrooge, the other rooms being all let out as offices.

Now it is a fact, that there was nothing at all particular about the knocker on the door of this house, except that it was very large; also, that Scrooge had seen it, night and morning, during his whole residence in that place; also, that Scrooge had as little of what is called fancy about him as any man in the city of London. And yet Scrooge, having his key in the lock of the door, saw in the knocker, without its undergoing any intermediate process of change, not a knocker, but Marley's face.

Marley's face, with a dismal light about it, like a bad lobster in a dark cellar. It was not angry or ferocious, but it looked at Scrooge as Marley used to look, — with ghostly spectacles turned up upon its ghostly forehead.

As Scrooge looked fixedly at this phenomenon, it was

TRAVEL

a knocker again. He said, "Pooh, pooh!" and closed the door with a bang.

The sound resounded through the house like thunder. Every room above, and every cask in the wine-merchant's cellars below, appeared to have a separate peal of echoes of its own. Scrooge was not a man to be frightened by echoes. He fastened the door, and walked across the hall, and up the stairs.

Slowly too, trimming his candle as he went.

Up Scrooge went, not caring a button for its being very dark. Darkness is cheap, and Scrooge liked it. But before he shut his heavy door, he walked through his rooms to see that all was right. He had just enough recollection of the face to desire to do that. Sitting-room, bedroom, lumber-room, all as they should be. Nobody under the table, nobody under the sofa; a small fire in the grate; spoon and basin ready; and the little saucepan of gruel (Scrooge had a cold in his head) upon the hob. Nobody under the bed; nobody in the closet; nobody in his dressing-gown, which was hanging up in a suspicious attitude against the wall. Lumber-room as usual.

Old fire-guard, old shoes, two fish-baskets, washing-stand on three legs, and a poker.

Quite satisfied, he closed his door, and locked himself in; double-locked himself in, which was not his custom. Thus secured against surprise, he took off his cravat, put on his dressing-gown and slippers and his nightcap, and sat down before the very low fire to take his gruel.

As he threw his head back in the chair, his glance happened to rest upon a bell, a disused bell, that hung in the room, and communicated, for some purpose now forgotten, with a chamber in the highest story of the building. It was with great astonishment, and with a strange, inexplicable dread, that, as he looked, he saw this bell begin to swing.

NOVEMBER 4 - 10, 2016

Soon it rang out loudly, and so did every bell in the house.

This was succeeded by a clanking noise, deep down below, as if some person were dragging a heavy chain over the casks in the wine-merchant's cellar.

Then he heard the noise much louder, on the floors below; then coming up the stairs; then coming straight towards his door.

It came on through the heavy door, and a spectre passed into the room before his eyes. And upon its coming in, the dying flame leaped up, as though it cried, "I know him! Marley's ghost!"

The same face, the very same. Marley in his pigtail, usual waistcoat, tights, and boots. His body was transparent; so that Scrooge, observing him, and looking through his waistcoat, could see the two buttons on his coat behind.

Scrooge had often heard it said that Marley had no bowels, but he had never believed it until now.

No, nor did he believe it even now. Though he looked the phantom through and through, and saw it standing before him, — though he felt the chilling influence of its deathcold eyes, and noticed the very texture of the folded kerchief bound about its head and chin, — he was still incredulous.

"How now!" said Scrooge, caustic and cold as ever. "What do you want with me?"

"Much!" — Marley's voice, no doubt about it.

"Who are you?"

"Ask me who I was."

"Who were you then?"

"In life I was your partner, Jacob Marley."

"Can you — can you sit down?"

"I can."

"Do it, then."

Scrooge asked the question, because he didn't know whether a ghost so transparent might find himself in a condition to take a chair; and felt that, in the event of its being impossible, it might involve the necessity of an embarrassing explanation.

But the ghost sat down on the opposite side of the fireplace, as if he were quite used to it.

"You don't believe in me."

"I don't."

"What evidence would you have of my reality beyond that of your senses?"

"I don't know."

"Why do you doubt your senses?"

"Because a little thing affects them. A slight disorder of the stomach makes them cheats.

You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of an underdone potato. There's more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!"

Scrooge was not much in the habit of cracking jokes, nor did he feel in his heart by any means waggish then. The truth is, that he tried to be smart, as a means of distracting his own attention, and keeping down his horror.

But how much greater was his horror when, the phantom taking off the bandage round its head, as if it were too warm to wear indoors, its lower jaw dropped down upon its breast!

"Mercy! Dreadful apparition, why do you trouble me?

Why do spirits walk the earth, and why do they come to me?"

Abridged guide to eating Japanese

New Jeep Cherokee radical departure

Explain Japanese food in 600 words? You can only get a sampling. Eating Japanese in Dallas is different than being there, mainly because Japanese restaurants typically specialize in one type of food. You choose the restaurant by the type of food, preparation, and style of service you want.

Japanese breakfast is an exception. It’s fairly standard— miso soup, made of a bean broth and eaten from a lacquered wooden bowl that you raise to Photo by Michael Wald your mouth, typically accompaTypical Japanese breakfast has a lot of small portions. nied by hard-to-identify pickled seasonal vegetables, tofu, a small piece of an egg soufflé, fresh without choices, but buffets and a la carte is fish (usually salmon), sometimes also smoked available, too.

The fiasco that is the Takata airbag recall seems (even for those plugged in regularly to the news) strangely distant until, of course, it no longer is. And so it was when we received a letter from Subaru, informing us that our ’11 Forester, equipped with a recalled front passenger airbag, may be unsafe to operate if the vehicle is carrying passengers. The Subaru was sold by us to our son roughly two years ago, and has supplied both him and our 3-year old grandson with great service.

Until now.

A subsequent email led to a second communication from Subaru, advising us that a rental vehicle would

TRAIL TO GOOD HEALTH

megan@thelyonsshare.org Admittedly, Dallas’ October weather felt more like summer than fall on many days, but by the time November rolls around, we often start craving warming, comforting foods like soups, stews, and chili. As the holiMegan Lyons day season rolls in and any ounce of free time disappears, I recommend Crockpot meals as a way to get a balanced, homemade meal on the table without spending hours preparing it.

Whether the weather is truly cold or not, there are few things more comforting than a big bowl of steaming, hearty soup. However, most canned soups have high amounts of sodium and preservatives that you’d probably rather avoid, and not enough veggies to fill you up.

The key to having homemade soup ready and available is using your Crockpot (or slow cooker). It’s an easy trick to creating healthy and delicious meals with minimal effort. Here are a few reasons that a Crockpot can be a lifesaver in a health kitchen: It’s so quick and easy: If you have 10 minutes in the morning, you can throw these ingredients in the Crockpot and forget it all day. When you get back from work or walk in from your workout, you can have dinner on the table for the entire family in 5 minutes.

It makes many servings: My full Crockpot gives me about 5 large servings of soup. Leftovers can be saved for later in the week, frozen for future use. I always have a few options in my freezer in single-serve containers ready to defrost for a quick meal (without the can!).

It’s adaptable: Any Crockpot recipe should be considered a loose guideline … follow the basic structure, but then throw in whatever

you have on hand, and make as many substitutions as you want.

It’s pretty hard to mess up a Crockpot soup. The flavors end up melding together anyway, so if you use a bit less broth or a bit more zucchini than the recipe calls for, no one will ever know.

It makes the house smell delicious: I love walking in the house and smelling homemade cooking (without having to do anything!).

It’s an easy way to cram in extra vegetables: Toss in whatever vegetables you have on hand; almost anything tastes good in soup. If you have a bunch of produce that’s on its last leg or feel like you need an extra boost of antioxidants, a veggie-filled soup is your friend!

It’s not as expensive as you think: Just like any kitchen appliance, you can definitely get some fancy Crockpots. But all you really need is a timer and a large basin (I would go for at least 8 cups). You can find some great ones for under $50! (The one I have is available at bit.ly/cuisinartCrockpot).

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK

By Stella Wilder

The coming week will see the vast majority of individuals forging agreements of all kinds with many different people over many diverse issues — from business to recreation, from professional opportunity to quality time at home. The most important of these, however, will revolve around that age-old, time-honored institution called "love"! Indeed, love will be in the spotlight for some time to come, and even those who have considered themselves immune in the past may find they are coming under the influence of Cupid in some way that cannot be denied.

It's a wonderful week for proposals — and propositions, for those who aren't ready to make that lasting commitment. Indeed, love and passion are sure to be closely intertwined throughout this rather heated week!

Some may find that there is an unusually close link between young and old, especially where affairs of the heart are concerned. Those infatuated for the first time can certainly learn from veterans of romance who find themselves in love once more — and vice versa. Experience is a valuable commodity, but not the be-all and end-all.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You have much to say to an old friend or colleague, but he or she may make you wait until late in the week before lending an attentive ear. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – Alacrity will prove essential when it comes to the transmission of messages. You don't want to be

slow and miss out on any fun!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) You are looking to someone else to provide you with something you feel you cannot give yourself, but this is a misconception. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – You may be more interested in what someone else is doing than in your own affairs. Do you think you're not worth the same attention?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) You may have to burn the candle at both ends throughout much of the week in order to get things done on time and under budget. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – Focusing on the "usual suspects" will get you nowhere; you must be willing to consider the new and unconventional in order to maximize benefits.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You may be tempted to run on a little long, hoping that others will hear you out. It's better to be verbally efficient, however.

(Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – You don't want to be accused of negligence, so be sure to pay attention where attention is due. A loved one can only do so much to help you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) He or she who gave you your first big break is likely to be back on the scene to see what you've done with other

opportunities. (March 6-March 20) – You'll feel a kind of gravitational pull from a member of the opposite sex, and it will have you making unusual choices all week long.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) You can do only so much to prevent your environment from influencing you adversely.

Spend time on something that is nearly foolproof. (April 5-April 19) – You won't want to wait too long to respond to someone's invitation. Things are shaping up very nicely, indeed!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You may have your mind on something that isn't really right for you. Do what you can to focus on something — anything — else! (May 6-May 20) – Undoing a mistake made by someone else may prove more difficult than expected, but you have what it takes to get the work done.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You may not be able to keep up your usual pace, as there will be obstacles in your way that require you to slow down just a bit. (June 7-June 20) – Someone may invite you into his or her home, and the reason for doing so may remain a mystery for a while — though you can guess what it is!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) You want something that

Copyright 2016 United Feature Syndicate, Inc. someone else wants as well.

Perhaps you can work it out so that you can both enjoy it together. (July 8-July 22) – You are trying to convey messages in a way that allows you to remain above the fray, but this may turn out to be simply impossible.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You may not be equipped with all the tools you need, so you'll have to improvise when things get a little tougher than usual. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – It's not what you say, but how you say it that will matter most. You must give other people a little of what they expect if you want to get the full message across.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) Once you have cared for those who depend on you most, you can begin to focus on something that you want more than anything else. (Sept. 8-Sept.

22) – Now is the time for you to make your presence known to someone who has been ignoring you for far too long.

Something big is in the offing!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) You are eagerly awaiting the chance to share your feelings openly with a certain someone who is currently the center of everything to you. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – You're in a position to instruct someone, but he or she may not believe you have his or her best interests at heart.

Most young buyers don’t have time or experiences rather than stuff.

This is the ideal ents keep up the home and all that entails. That stephan@sardoneconstruction.com

meant mowing, pulling weeds, cleaning out the gutters and other “weekend work.” These days, young adults are more about valuing their personal time and require that downtime to maintain a certain quality of life. (There’s that word again — “quality.”)

Thus, rather than a large yard to take care of, Millennials are looking for a large outdoor living space to entertain. Meaning, a large deck or patio with maybe a pergola or a fireplace.

For them, it’s how to increase the camaraderie.

A pool might be in that mix somewhere, but that’s more likely if one is renting or buying a home with a roommate.

Libraries and home offices are a strong trend right now; just check Pinterest. Not only is this due to a generation that loves to read, but many of them are in grad school working remotely. It’s also important to this generation to keep work space and living space separate, so a home office or library is something they are likely to be looking for when purchasing.

Personally, I think these are great trends.

Millennials being interested in cost-effective, energy-efficient, smaller and more modest spaces says a lot about their generation. They’re saving money and the environment as well as making memories instead of clutter.

Like millennials, kitchens are downsizing.

MOVIE TRAILER

‘Dr. Strange’ makes it another marvelous movie from Marvel

By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood

If Marvel was ever going to bomb, it would be with “Dr. Strange.” Characters like Spider Man or Captain America crept into the public consciousness decades ago, while Dr. Strange remained a cult-like hero on the fringe of the superhero universe. Just like “Ant Man,” a movie about such an obscure, odd hero is a risk.

Well, Marvel Studios and Dr. Strange fans need not fret. This smartly written, impeccably cast, and visually stunning movie not only feeds the Marvel Cinematic Universe geek a hearty meal, it works on its own as a standalone piece on the level of the original “Iron Man.” Benedict Cumberbatch is Dr. Stephen Strange, a New York neurosurgeon with a photographic memory and master of the super power that most humans call “arrogance.”

We are introduced to him as he embarrasses a fellow surgeon (Michael Stuhlbarg, wearing an ill fitting toupee) while saving the patient of a former flame, Dr. Christine Palmer (Rachel McAdams).

You know there’s going to be trouble the second that Dr. Strange peels out of the garage in his

Benedict Cumberbatch is Dr. Stephen Strange.

Lamborghini and drives down a windy road while aggressively passing every vehicle in sight. His toy car spins off the road and the vicious accident leaves him with severe nerve damage that ends his surgical career.

After exhausting his riches, Dr. Strange is turned on to a place in Kathmandu that can allegedly heal his body by healing his mind.

Upon arriving, he is met by Baron Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor), the right hand man to The Ancient One

(Tilda Swinton). After some initial hilarious skepticism, Strange fully immerses himself in this world of magic and spells, quickly becoming a master.

It turns out that The Ancient One has a problem with a former disciple, Kaecilius (Mads Mikkelsen), who wants to unleash an ancient, otherworldly power onto Earth. Dr. Strange finds himself leading the charge against Kaecilius, using his newly acquired powers

over space and time to fight with mind-bending, gorgeous CGI. The screenplay is as far out as the kaleidoscope-like CGI. Director Scott Derrickson, working with a script he co-wrote with Jon Spaihts and C. Robert Cargill, deftly manages a story whose main character is a jerk. Most Marvel flicks pit good versus evil, which “Dr. Strange” does, but with an added layer of personal growth and introspection. There are legitimate life lessons discussed here about fear of failure and serving others instead of yourself, which hit home with everyone and not only people with capes that help them fly.

There was some nerd beef about Tilda Swinton being cast as The Ancient One. After the performance she puts on screen, it’s time to squash those ridiculous beefs.

Swinton is flawless. She’s charming, mysterious, and when it’s time to fight, she’s as tough as nails. This role required an actor that can command an audience and Swinton does it with ease.

Other actors do well with little, such as Rachel McAdams, but the after credits scene shows that Chiwetel Ejiofor’s Baron Mordo will be much different in future “Dr. Strange” adventures. His tale is yet to come and Derrickson sets up his

transformation perfectly.

While Derrickson deserves a lion’s share of credit for making “Dr. Strange” as fantastic as it is, the entire movie and potential franchise falls on Benedict Cumberbatch’s shoulders. Not since Robert Downey Jr. has an actor encapsulated a comic book character like Cumberbatch has. In mere minutes, an audience knows who this guy is and what he’s all about.

Cumberbatch growls and snipes at everyone, even those that are clearly more powerful than he is. His one liners are soon to be legendary and the sheer volume of quotable dialogue he masterfully delivers ups the stakes for any movie trying to launch a comic book movie franchise.

In short, there’s a reason why Marvel wouldn’t move on the “Dr. Strange” movie without Cumberbatch and it’s plain to see how right their hesitation was.

Water is wet. The Sun rises in the East. Marvel Studios has another critical and box office blockbuster on their hands. “Dr. Strange” is the trippiest super hero movie ever and its effects make “The Matrix” look like kid’s games. There’s even a little slice of “Astronomy Domine”

by Pink Floyd in the movie. Far out indeed, man.

UNCLE BARKY’S BITES

Old times weren’t necessarily good times in TV

By Ed Bark

unclebarky@verizon.net The so-called “good old days” weren’t always so great, and in some cases, a lot worse.

In local television Ed Bark news, though, the sheer adventure of it all, underscored by the daunting challenges of filming, transporting and “processing” a story, were a lot more fun in retrospect than today’s cost-effective, increasingly automated, “social

media”-driven presentations.

A recent Dallas VideoFest panel, “How the News Got Made,” featured three stalwarts from WFAA-TV’s frontier days. Producer John Sparks, photo-journalist John Jenkins and anchor-reporter Jim Green rolled down memory lane after attendees watched an 18-minute film of highlights from the station’s 1968-‘73 period.

Stories were filmed in 16 millimeter in those days. Deposited in cans, they then survived their journeys ­— most of the time — back to WFAA studios for time-consuming “processing” and editing. The modes of transportation ranged from buses to planes to willing motorists stopped at

Occasionally, the film had to be handed off at a halfway spot. “It looked like a drug deal,” said Jenkins, who’s still in the local TV news game and nearing retirement as Fort Worth-based NBC5’s news operations manager.

During his earlier days at WFAA, Jenkins was one of the first AfricanAmericans to work in D-FW television news. He described his camera as “basically a box with a lens in it.” But via its viewfinder, Jenkins shot the first WFAA story by Bill O’Reilly during Photo courtesy of WFAA Newsfilm Collection his brief tenure at the station.

EATING cont'd from page 6 breakfast with a shot of flavored vinegar, such as blueberry vinegar. Very healthy, I’m told.

To make a sushi-like concoction at breakfast, wrap the fresh fish in the seaweed paper with some rice. It takes practice to get it right, especially if you follow the unwritten rules.

Use chopsticks for everything. Never add a liquid to the rice, as rice, served with nearly every meal, is considered almost sacred. Instead, want soy sauce on the rice? Bring a bite of rice to the soy sauce dish. You drink the tea by raising the cup with both hands. These “rules” enable locals to know exactly who the foreigners in their midst are. Fortunately, foreigners, considered crass anyway, get a break from the rules.

After breakfast, specialty restaurants dominate. Well-known sushi, like other meals, is typically eaten sitting on a pillow on the floor at a very low table. Leave your shoes at the door so the tatami floors don’t get soiled. Sitting like this for an entire meal will involve some pain at first. Try eating another commonly-known food, the kobe steak, this way. It has to meet strict requirements HAUNTING cont'd from page 1 three weeks to learn the tricks he performed in the show. To prepare for the role, Delano had a crash course under the tutelage of Trigg Watson, an award-winning, 26-year-old “magic consultant.” At the champagne reception following the show, you could hear patrons asking, “How did he do that?”

Delano delivers a younger Avi with so much energy that it is tactile, and then he does the impossible. When he levitates a perky Josephine — played with some welcome humor by Olivia de Guzman Emile — you could hear a pin drop, followed by an “ahhhhh” in unison with rowdy applause from Friday’s audience. There appeared to be nothing “faux” about it. And when de Guzman JEEP cont'd from page 6 didn’t share with us a window sticker, we’re guessing this particular Jeep runs about $35 thousand; coincidentally, that’s roughly the same as you’ll pay today for a fully luxe Forester. Different strokes for different folks, but we could learn to like this longterm rental.

Again, we like the midsize feel of the Jeep Cherokee, as it’s small enough to park, nimble enough to turn, but comfortable — even substantial — on the road. And if we haven’t mentioned it — or we have and you/we have forgotten — it’s trail rated. Who’d a thunk it?

about what the cows are fed and how much marbling is in the meat. Another specialty restaurant will serve blowfish. The chefs have to be certified, as this fish is poison if not prepared correctly.

Another possible favorite specialty is unagi or eel.

Ramen is a dried noodle, originally from China, that comes to life when liquid is added to it. Yakisoba is a pan-fried-noodle.

Want Udon? Go to a udon house. This is a fresh thick noodle served in a soup bowl typically covered with a fish-based broth.

You add toppings to taste from a long list including seaweed, sesame, and many choices you won’t recognize.

Kushikatsu houses serve deep fried skewers. You eat it with a bowl of rice. Various fishes, meats, tofu, and vegetables, served one at a time fresh from the deep fryer, will be brought to you by your server. Tempura, similar to kushikatsu, has a batter which is much lighter.

Besides types of foods, there are regional specialties. For example, Hiroshima is known for takoyaki, or ocotopus balls, fried dough with octopus inside. Other Hiroshima specialties include oysters and okonomiyaki, a pancake topped with a fried egg and noodles, sauces, and other ingredients. Okonomiyaki

Emile delivers vocals, her voice is like an angel — not a ghost, yet — with an angelic face to match. Her costumes are stunning. She is recreating her demanding role from the original Off-Broadway production along with most of the cast.

Ruth, played by Monique Abry, seeks the services of a magician with the hope that he can save her comatose husband. Abry brings the vulnerability required to the diverse role, and her vocals are lovely.

Peter Rand’s projection is an unnerving character itself. It underscores the time and space with imagery, sometimes with a life of its own. Rand succeeds in bringing “creepy” into the mix.

houses are also very popular in Osaka which has its own variation with a thicker pancake.

For larger meals, you’ll need to know about two Japanese meal styles. Teppanki is the Benihana-style eating where the food is cooked in front of you on a grill, albeit without the high entertainment touches added in America. The second is the haute cuisine of Japan known as kaiseki, an art form in which a variety of tastes in very small portions are offered, akin to Spanish tapas.

Many restaurants display plastic replicas or photos of dishes so foreigners can point to order. Ethnic Italian, French, and other foods are available just like in the US. Or you can eat McDonald’s and Subway. But why go to Japan and eat that? The next time you go to a Japanese restaurant in the US, realize that the chef may have a harder job here than in Japan because he or she must cook many varieties of Japanese food, not just the specialty food of the restaurant.

drowns out some, while others could use more enunciation. But in a jolting performance, respected Dallas actor, costume designer and entrepreneur Michael Robinson ruled the stage for two hours. He thoroughly embodied his character, the older Avi Leiter, with dramatic intensity as he told the story of a younger Avi. Only on the brink of overacting the role, Avi’s character requires the intensity, and Robinson delivers with a memorable performance.

Serrecchia said: “When I first heard the score to AWLS in 2014, I was hooked. The haunting melodies, the harmonic sophistication — the structure itself was an addictive device.”

The director added, “In the two years since I directed AWLS Off-Broadway, we honed in to trim and streamline the property because,

like all new works, there was enough material for two or three musicals.”

“In working with Patrick, Olivia, Peter and Trigg, we all embraced a strict set of standards to maintain that delicacy of the story and the ethereal in the artistic goal,” Serrecchia concluded.

This is one of those productions from which you walk away feeling satisfied by some exceptional theater — and then can’t stop thinking about and continuing to enjoy it.

“As We Lie Still” will run through Sun, Nov. 20 at Contemporary Theatre of Dallas, 5601 Sears Street, Dallas, 75206 near Ross Avenue and Lower Greenville. To order tickets, visit contemporarytheatreofdallas.com/ tickets-subscriptions or call the box office at 214-828-0094.

SOLUTION TO THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE

SOUTH cont'd from page 3 disabled or otherwise unable to make it to a polling location. Although it may be too late for you to vote by mail this Election Day, do take note on this for the future, if you are perhaps using this as an excuse not to cast your vote this year.

Aside from the specifics on who, where, when and what to vote for on Election Day, make sure you have all of the necessities required to actually get into your polling place and inside the voting booth without trouble. Be sure to bring your ID, voter registration card and a clear mindset to the polls on Election Day, and feel the weight lift off your shoulders as you leave knowing that your voice and equal opinion has been heard.

Scrooge was very much dismayed to hear the spectre going on at this rate, and began to quake exceedingly.

"Hear me! My time is nearly gone."

"I will. But don't be hard upon me. Don't be flowery, Jacob! Pray!"

"I am here to-night to warn you that you have yet a chance and hope of escaping my fate. A chance and hope of my procuring, Ebenezer."

"You were always a good friend to me. Thank'ee!"

"You will be haunted by Three Spirits."

"Is that the chance and hope you mentioned, Jacob? I — I think I'd rather not."

"Without their visits, you cannot hope to shun the path I tread. Expect the first to-morrow night, when the bell tolls One. Expect the second on the next night at the same hour. The third, upon the next night, when the last stroke of Twelve has ceased to vibrate. Look to see me no more; and look that, for your own sake, you remember what has passed between us!"

It walked backward from him; and at every Step it took, the window raised itself a little, so that, when the apparition reached it, it was wide open.

Scrooge closed the window, and examined the door by which the Ghost had entered. It was double-locked, as he had locked it with his own hands, and the bolts were undisturbed. Scrooge tried to say, "Humbug!" but stopped at the first syllable. And being, from the emotion he had undergone, or the fatigues of the day, or his glimpse of the invisible world, or the dull conversation of the Ghost, or the lateness of the hour, much in need of repose, he went straight to bed, without undressing, and fell asleep on the instant.
