Women take the baton

david@katytrailweekly.com Despite being played for centuries by renown players like Tom Morris, Byron Nelson, Sam Snead and Ben Hogan and the modern generation featuring Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy, Sergio Garcia and Jordan Spieth among others, the golden age of golf was the 1960s, ‘70s and ‘80s.

Players in those decades made us watch the game.

Players in those decades made us want to play the game.

Four legendary golfers in that era fought it out for titles with class and respect for the game and each other. On the Mount Rushmore of golf, there is Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Dallas native Lee Trevino.

At 78, Trevino is still sound in mind and body and goes to the gym every day despite the fact that he has steel rods in his body after being hit by lightning in 1975. He won six major championships

Seven residences featured in annual home festival

By Sarah Gantt sgantt@gmail.com

The 42nd Annual Lakewood Home Festival celebrates the diversity of the neighborhood, showcasing gorgeous new designs alongside renowned historic architecture. This year’s “I Love Lakewood” theme spotlights seven East Dallas homes spanning Lakewood Boulevard to The Cloisters.

For the contemporary eye, the tour features four homes ranging from mid-century to coastal modern farmhouse. Each residence fits the natural aesthetic of Lakewood’s mature trees and creek views, with one residence boasting backyard views of White Rock Lake. The designs respond to and respect their environment while bringing the outside in and creating open air spaces ideal for entertainment.

For the first time in home tour history, three neighboring homes, designed by architectural icon Charles Dilbeck, known as the “Dilbeck Triplets,” will be available for viewing on Lakewood Boulevard. These masterpieces have been meticulously updated and restored to their architectural vernacular.

LAKEWOOD HOME TOUR

6726 Lakewood Blvd. is part of the 42nd Lakewood Home Festival.

This year’s featured homes are at 6927 Pasadena Ave., 6726 Lakewood Blvd., 6939 Pasadena Ave., 6933 Delrose Drive, 6738 Lakewood Blvd., 7581 Benedict Drive and 6748 Lakewood Blvd.

Hosted by the Lakewood Early Childhood Parent Teacher Association, the Lakewood Home Festival is a community-wide event that raises funds

for Lakewood Elementary School, J.L. Long Middle School and Woodrow Wilson High School. The home festival takes place on Saturday, Nov. 10 and Sunday, Nov. 11. A candlelight tour is available Saturday evening from 7 to 9 p.m. Tickets are available at lakewoodhomefestival.com, Comerica Bank, Talulah & Hess and at the door to each of the homes.

New exhibit at Sixth Floor The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, 411 Elm St., is opening a new temporary exhibit on Tuesday, Nov. 13 titled “55 Years,” in remembrance of the 55th anniversary of the death of President John F. Kennedy. The showing will feature a broad representation of popular magazine covers from the last five decades and is WIKIPEDIA free with a general museum admission.

The exhibit runs through Monday, Dec. 31. For more information, visit jfk.org. – Laurie Ivy

OPINION

Should we keep the penny?

By Joe Ruzicka joe.c.ruzicka@gmail.com I will throw in my two cents and say that America is due to get rid of the penny (pun intended). I am sure some of us still have a fascination with our smallest denomination, but I find the value of the one cent copper coin to be penniless, I mean, pointless.

Keeping the penny around really does not make economic sense. A 2014 study by the U.S. Treasury Department found the cost of making a penny was estimated at 1.7 cents. You got that right. It costs more to make a Joe penny than what it’s worth. It’s as if the Treasury Department is committing highway robbery on itself 1.7 cents at a time.

How many times in your old age have you passed a penny on the ground only to think to yourself that bending over to get this small metal object is going to be worse than the return on investment in using it later? Instead of bending over, you strolled on by and looked the other way. I don’t blame you. Sadly, I’m not sure anything can be bought for a penny anymore and bending over to pick up a penny now just gives me backpain.

Our friends to the North decided to stop making their version of the penny way back in 2012. Canadians still pay for goods and services in precise cents but only via credit or debit cards. Cash transactions are rounded to the nearest nickel. Britain, France, Spain, Israel and others have also axed the smallest denomination, citing cost cutting and poor recirculation of small coins among many reasons for getting rid of their version of the penny. It’s those darn penny hoarders not recirculating that is causing part of the economic problem!

But America has a fascination with the penny, making the one cent coin a likely survivor for a little bit longer. A 2015 Harris poll found that over 51 percent of Americans favored keeping the penny. Interestingly enough, 57 percent of women favor the penny compared to 44 percent of men, while six out of 10 conservatives want to keep the penny compared to 47 percent of liberals. If only these diametrically opposed groups could use something as simple as the penny on which to find common ground, maybe our billion dollar problems could also be solved.

Likely the fascination with Ruzicka the penny stems from the fact we find evidence of the penny in our daily lives. Marketing and pricing schemes list consumer goods within a penny of a whole dollar. To a consumer it looks much more favorable to see $19.99 on a price tag than a rounded up $20. Our American lexicon contains sayings associated with the penny such as being “penny wise and a pound foolish” or “a penny for your thoughts.”

The penny also has one of our most famous Presidents on the face, honest Abe Lincoln. President Teddy Roosevelt came up with the idea. Released in 1909, the Lincoln penny is the longest running coin type in U.S. history. A lot can be said to keep the penny in circulation when you consider nostalgia.

But in a world of credit cards, Venmo and electronic wallets, it’s probably time we took a hard look at whether the penny should continue in its present form. As I dig around in my pocket of loose coins, many of them pennies, I guess all I can say is, “change” is difficult.

Mental FOCUS

How to clock your brain out after work

By Leigh Richardson leighrich55@yahoo.com I think we can all relate to the struggle of not being able to turn off our minds after work, especially if something particularly stressful or unpleasant has taken place. It’s easy to bring those things home with us, and sometimes, it even affects our health through lack of adequate sleep.

When you’re home and still thinking about work or work-related things that need to be done, it’s a sure sign that you need to unplug, because at some point, things are out of your control. Really think about that: “things are out of your control.” Doesn’t that feel kind of good to hear, even if it’s hard to accept? Understanding that you have to let go of something “for now” is hard, but in order to get the most out of your day, and thus, your life, it’s important to learn how to switch off “work mode” and switch on “relax mode.” Here are some tips that can help.

First, ask yourself, “What is this thing that keeps bothering you? Are there some work tasks you need to get done that are overwhelming you?” Well, if you can’t talk yourself into a calm state on your own, try to make a list of these items haunting and crowding you. It’s been proven that making lists mentally clears up space for you to process other things, and in turn, relax.

You do not have to constantly go over that mental list, but rather, it’s now on paper, something you can

AUTOMOBILITY

Cozy up to a fast book

By David Boldt djboldt@sbcglobal.net

and racetracks.

If you’ve read Automobile magazine or, more recently, Road & Track, you know Preston Lerner’s articulate prose but you may not be familiar with his opinions. And Quarto’s format allows for those opinions, which includes a chapter devoted to Worst Ferraris Ever. And while you might disagree with Lerner’s conclusions, you won’t argue with the way in which they’re presented. Notably, the prose in this Ferrari volume is ably supported by the artwork of Chris Rathbone.

It’s but a small step to go from Ferrari to Supercar and author Basem Wasef – like Preston Lerner, also based in Southern California — is well-prepared to take that step. A long-time contributor to Automobile, Robb Report and Men’s Journal, Basem’s ‘supercar’ overview is more encompassing than you might expect. A chapter devoted to SUVs comes as a surprise (but shouldn’t), as does ink devoted to Carroll Shelby. Shelby’s creations were super, but in contrast to the seven figure sums commanded by some exotics today, Shelby’s Cobras and Mustangs — back in the day

Regardless of the hobby, you can never have enough of what you enjoy. For the bike, car or book enthusiast, the perfect inventory is N (representing current inventory or collection) plus ‘1.’

And that holds true among the books devoted to bikes or cars. The math represented in N+1 works every time, or, to be precise, works as long as the MasterCard works.

That brings us to Quarto Publishing’s newest releases, the Speed Read series of short, concise volumes. As Quarto’s descriptive puts it, Speed Read “breaks subjects into easily understood sections, Ferrari: The History, Technology and Design Behind Italy's Legendary Sports Car covers 50 aspects key to understanding Ferrari’s amazing history, from racing to production cars to design and technology to the personal histories of key figures. This book will make anyone an instant Ferrari expert!”

Having sold Ferraris in the mid ’80s and having paid attention to the marque in the pages of Road & Track since the mid ’60s, I’m familiar with the company and much of its history. Preston Lerner, the author of Quarto’s Ferrari volume, is more familiar. In fact, he’s vastly more knowledgeable, supplying in his Ferrari volume the background to Ferrari’s founding, the cars that helped establish its ongoing legacy and the numerous personalities responsible for that legacy, in both showrooms The Museo Ferrari.

— were amazingly accessible. Wasef’s edit is enhanced by illustrator Rafael Santos de Oliveira.

If a fan of accessibility, then chances of acquiring an older 911 are reduced as their market values go up. Far easier, we’ll guess, to invest the $20 in Speed Read’s Porsche 911 than the six figures required for the pre-74 you’ve had your eye on – or the 993 I’ve had my eye on. Like the Ferrari volume, Wayne Dempsey’s overview of the iconic Porsche includes both the cars and people connected with them. And while a relatively brief history (the 911 was formally launched in 1964), both the car and the coverage are rich in design, performance and competition history. Of course, the 911’s design is singular, and remains so. While (regrettably) larger and vastly more expensive than it was at its debut, Porsche’s product team has remained remarkably faithful to the model’s roots. Visually, that evolution is well documented by both Dempsey’s edit and artist Jeremy Kramer’s illustrations.

With shorter days and colder temps, all three will sustain you on days when you’re not behind the wheel, or unable to enjoy time spent on your bike. These titles — and more! — are available at autobooks-aerobooks.com.

UPTOWN GIRL

Last week for 'Psychedelic Robot' pop-up

PSYCHEDELIC ROBOT

The artist not.travis with artwork.

By Ryann Gordon

ryannbgordon@yahoo.com They come and they go … the popup museum craze has made its way to Dallas, and one of our newest favorites is ending its stint here next week. What was initially planned to be a 10-day event, Psychedelic Robot has brought joy and Instagram fame to our city for over a month. However, all good things must come to an end, and this is your last week to see the exhibition before it ends next week on Thursday, Nov. 15.

There is a silver lining to this loss for Dallas though, as Bivins Gallery has much bigger plans for the pop-up.

Psychedelic Robot plans to take the tour international to Beijing, Shanghai and other major, globally recognized cities.

And they’ll be taking a piece of Dallas with them.

Nestled in the heart of Uptown at The Crescent, Psychedelic Robot brought together artists from around the world in 12,000 square feet of color and fullroom murals. With features from artists local and international, I had the pleasure of getting a personalized tour from one of Dallas’ more notable names in the art world. As I wandered to the back of the gallery, I was greeted by Michael and Karen Bivins of Bivins Gallery; next to them was a man with paint on his hands, and I had just walked through one of his displays. They call him not.travis.

The artist was kind enough to take me through his display, the largest of the entire pop-up. It was a large, paint-splattered

room built to replicate his own studio off Dragon Street in the Design District. Not only did the man behind the magic walk me through his studio replica, showing me pictures of the real-life version and telling me the stories behind each unique piece, but he gave me the ultimate tour of the entire museum, showing respect to each artists’ works.

Art explodes around you as you wander through various rooms designed to look like space, a geometric maze of sorts and more uniquely designed exhibitions.

Interactive artwork covers the walls and ceilings; colorful plaques and statues extend from every direction; and people giggle from room to room, taking pictures and writing handwritten notes on the wish tree.

There’s something exciting and exclusive about a pop-up museum, but exclusion was the last feeling that came to mind as I walked through this local gem.

More of an immersion experience than anything, this funky museum makes you feel connected to art in a way that could convert even the most notorious art skeptics. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or not, it’s an experience you don’t want to miss.

For weeks, Psychedelic Robot has brought joy and Instagram fame to our city, but with only a few days left in its stint here, this is your last opportunity to check it out. Get your tickets today for the pop-up's final week in Dallas at psychedelicrobot.com and check out not. travis’ artwork around the city and on Instagram.

DOTTY’S TRUE TEXAS CUISINE

Not a traditional Thanksgiving feast

By Dotty Griffith dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Few menus are as unwavering and highly anticipated as the traditional turkey and dressing Thanksgiving.

But what’s a host or hostess supposed to do when someone at the table isn’t interested in the usual turkey main course? What are the alternatives for vegans and vegetarians? With the numbers of plant-based eaters growing exponentially, it’s easier than ever to find recipes or buy entrees, sides and desserts that meet the criteria.

Nature’s Plate is one local source for heat-and-eat plant-based dishes. The brainchild of sisters Annette Baker and Marianne Lacko, Nature’s Plate grew out of their own commitment to plant-based eating and requests from Lake Highlands neighbors “to eat like you do.”

They launched as a catering business in 2012. By August 2015, they’d opened their first storefront in their own neighborhood.

The second storefront in the northwest quadrant of Preston Forest Shopping Center opened last May. Their stores are open daily. Nature’s Plate has pop-up locations in Oak Cliff and Plano for pickup of a week’s worth of meals and offers Dotty Griffith

Pumpkin Pie.

NATURE'S PLATE

delivery.

Baker is the sister who creates and guides the main and side dish part of their menu. Lacko is the baker who creates vegan desserts that stand up well against traditional dairy, sugar, white flour treats.

Not all their customers are vegans, explain the sisters. Their dishes appeal to “anyone who wants to eat healthier meals, avoid processed food, add more plants and vegetables to the diet” and skip grocery shopping and cooking for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

But they’re not purists. Take Lacko’s husband, for instance. Although most of their family Thanksgiving menu is plant-based, there’s likely a turkey because he likes it.

Otherwise, their menu likely will resemble the Nature’s Plate Thanksgiving dinner: acorn squash with quinoa, wild rice stuffing, green bean casserole, broccoli rice casserole, mashed potatoes with gravy and pumpkin pie or any flavor of cheesecake. Most of their dishes are gluten and dairy free and made using organic ingredients. Order dishes à la carte or the entire meal.

I was their guest for a tasting of the Thanksgiving menu at the new Preston Forest store. It hit all the right notes for the iconic fall feast. Deep rich flavors blend across all the dishes. Mushrooms tucked in here and there give a meaty texture that satisfies. Sauces made creamy with ground cashews taste and look like the traditional white sauce base for casseroles.

Even without turkey, there is plenty of protein on the Thanksgiving plate from cashews, beans, lentils and broccoli. Yes, broccoli, said Lacko, adding that “broccoli is higher in protein than chicken but lower in calories.” That means you can eat more.

Nature’s Plate pumpkin pie looks like, well, pumpkin pie even though the crust is gluten-free made of ground nuts and oats instead of traditional pastry or graham cracker crumbs. The sisters rely on organic, unprocessed ingredients, including unrefined sugar, to round out the nutrition profile of all the Nature’s Plate dishes.

Their goal with Nature’s Plate is to make it easier to eat unprocessed, plant-based food. Even on Thanksgiving.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

Nice rice vegan casserole

By Dotty Griffith dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Broccoli rice casserole is as much a part of many Thanksgiving menus as green bean casserole, turkey and dressing. The traditional version, like its green bean cousin, relies on canned cream of something soup for its sauce base.

This recipe from Nature’s Plate is a totally vegan alternative. The sauce gets its creamy texture from ground cashews. There’s not a touch of dairy or canned anything.

The rice is brown.

Other than these adaptations, this is traditional Broccoli Rice Casserole.

Broccoli Rice Casserole.

NATURE’S PLATE BROCCOLI RICE CASSEROLE 5 cups broccoli, trimmed to 1-inch pieces, fresh or frozen 1 medium yellow onion, chopped 2 teaspoons olive oil 1 cup chopped celery 2 cups chopped or sliced mushrooms 2 teaspoons minced garlic 3 cups cooked brown rice 1 cup cashews 1 1/2 cups water 1 cup nutritional yeast 1 teaspoon sea salt 1/4 cup lemon juice 1 teaspoon white miso 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 3/4 teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard 2 tablespoons raw sunflower seed kernels 2 tablespoons whole grain or gluten free breadcrumbs (1/2 slice whole grain or gluten-free bread) Heat oven to 375 F. Lightly coat a 9x13-inch (3-quart) baking pan or dish with olive oil.

In a large saucepan, combine fresh broccoli with enough water to cover.

until water boils. Remove from heat for 5 minutes. Drain and allow to cool. If using frozen broccoli, thaw according to package directions. Drain and allow to cool.

In a large heated skillet over medium heat, combine onion and olive oil.

Cook 3 minutes or until onions soften and become translucent. Add celery, mushrooms and garlic. Stir occasionally and cook 5 minutes or until edges of onion are brown and mushrooms have released their liquid. Cook until moisture evaporates and mixture is dry. Set aside off heat.

In a blender, combine cashews, water, nutritional yeast, sea salt, lemon juice, white miso, smoked paprika, black pepper, Dijon mustard and dry mustard. Blend on high speed until smooth.

In a large saucepan or mixing bowl, combine broccoli, onion and mushroom mixture, rice and sauce. Blend thoroughly and place in oiled baking dish or pan.

In a blender, combine sunflower seed kernels and bread crumbs and process until well-blended. Spread blended mixture evenly over casserole.

Bake for 30 minutes or until brown on top and bubbly.

Makes 8 servings.

Hammer and Nails

Get ready for holidays

By Stephan Sardone stephan@sardoneconstruction.com

By Candy Evans candace@candysdirt.com I love 5350 South Dentwood Drive in Preston Hollow. In fact, our entire staff at Candysdirt.com is enamored of this architecturally significant midcenCandy Evans tury masterpiece. We’ve written it up, at my last count, seven times. I know, you’re thinking to yourselves: “Why?” Well, it’s creating quite a buzz now, due to the profound interior transformation.

From the second I saw this midcentury masterpiece, I was both tremendously excited and terribly worried. The excitement stemmed from the fact this is a gem — one of the most architecturally significant homes in America. On the other hand, I had this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that no one would be able to appreciate the brilliance of this 1951 Robert Goodwin-designed midcentury masterpiece.

Even brilliant architecturally designed homes need a professional, unbiased assessment before they go on the market.

This transformation should open your eyes to what a difference staging can make.

It’s a challenge for any seller to understand a modern buyer wants to see the house, not the collections and the personal tastes of the owner. It’s an even more considerable challenge when the home has been in the same family for 47 years.

“You have to think about how people perceive a home and experience it today,” said Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s listing agent Pogir Pogir.

Pogir understands how this midcentury masterpiece should be experienced, perhaps better than anyone else in Dallas. He has been friends with the family that owns this property for years and attended parties and events at this significant midcentury estate. He even sold the family some of their modern furniture when he was working at Cantoni many years ago!

“The first time I saw the house, I came around the corner, and I had to stop the car,” Pogir said. “It wowed me from the moment I pulled into the driveway. Pulling into the porte-cochere was such a glamorous feeling! I still remember vividly, how wonderful it was to be in this home and experience it as a guest. The views from the house to the lawn are incredible, and the sheer number of people it can handle for an event is amazing.”

Certainly, it’s kismet that Pogir is selling this midcentury masterpiece for his friends.

That begs the question, how did this 9,510-square-foot home with five bedrooms, five bathrooms, two powder baths, and enough room to entertain a couple of football teams finally get the interior facelift it so richly deserved, and

bRIGGS FREEMAN SOTHEBY

This house, located at 5350 S. Dentwood Dr., is listed at $4.495 million. that allows the home’s design to be fully appreciated? More kismet.

Global Views, the Dallas-based luxury brand that produces unique home furnishings and accessories, just happened to be scouting locations for their upcoming catalog.

Back in my photo styling days, I did my fair share of location scouting, and I can tell you first-hand we paid a lot of money to use homes of this caliber.

Global Views needed to shoot for a full week, so they traded location fees in return for staging this midcentury masterpiece with their beautiful collection! The home now resonates with today’s buyer, and Global Views got a stunning location. Talk about a win-win!

“The design is easy to appreciate now,” Pogir said. “We had an event the other night and people who had seen the home before it was staged were blown away. It now looks very Palm Springs, the sort of place Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra would have enjoyed hanging out. It’s really something totally extraordinary.”

This is a rare opportunity to own one of the most significant midcentury masterpieces in America on 1.36 acres, in coveted Preston Hollow. Pogir has it listed for $4.495 million.

We suggest getting in touch immediately. The transformation has created a lot of interest!

Now that Halloween is over and all of the bite-sized Heath and Snickers bars have been eaten, it is time to turn attention to preparing your house for the holidays, both inside and out.

Stephan Sardone First, consider the basics. Make sure that your gutters are all clean.

The leaves are falling, and the weather is getting colder. Clogged gutters and drains full of leaves and debris can freeze over, causing ice dams, which will seriously impede your drainage systems. And in the worstcase scenario, water could enter the house where you least expect it. After clearing the gutters, run water through them to check for leaks or poor alignment.

Check windows and doors for cracks where cold air could come in and heat could go out. A simple caulking of windows or weatherstripping of doors will not only keep your home more comfortable, it will lower your energy costs.

Change the filters in your furnace. When you first run your heater, you may smell an odd odor. This is normal as dust leaves air ducts. But you should clean your furnace annually because sediment can build up. It is also time to go into the attic and check your air ducts as you go to find that box of holiday decorations.

One investment you may want to make is replacing your old holiday lighting. Whether inside or outside, lighting has become much more energy efficient in the last few years.

Look for ENERGY STAR products and set up lighting on an automatic timer. That way, in case you fall asleep in the La-ZBoy because of one too many eggnogs, the lights will go out without you having to get up while your lights are out.

Make sure that walkways and driveways are safe for holiday revelers. Tighten the bolts on railings. Have a supply of de-icing compound on hand. Secure rugs in the house with double-sided tape to prevent Uncle Joe from tripping when heading to the buffet table.

The kitchen will become the focal point of the home for the holidays. Here are some simple things to consider while you are overworking appliances making those special treats.

You should thoroughly clean your coffee maker. It will probably be working overtime while you are on vacation at home. Wipe it with mild soap and warm water, and then brew a pot featuring water and vinegar. Also, set up a functional bar that includes plenty of non-alcoholic products.

Check your ice maker and make sure that it is in maximum working condition.

Clean up your microwave oven because you will be doing a lot of reheating. You will be surprised at how much grease can build up. Take out the rotating tray and give it a good bath or simply put it in the dishwasher. Skip the oven until holiday cooking is over, but make sure that the stove top burner units are nice and tidy.

Your refrigerator will also be working extra hard.

Tighten screws on any loose door handles and make sure that gaskets are sealing properly. Throw out any items that haven’t been used in months, like condiments. They may be out of date anyway. And sharpen knives. You don’t want to have a dull holiday dinner.

It is a good time to replace vacuum bags and make sure that the vacuum is in prime condition. Clear kitchen drains, especially those pipes that are part of the dishwasher runoff. Make sure that smoke detectors have fresh batteries. And replace toilet seats or at least tighten screws on the seats.

Your home will be ready for the holidays, and you will avoid unexpected surprises. Unless you get that bottle of aged whisky from Uncle Joe that you never expected to receive.

The coming week is likely to see many individuals struggling to overcome obstacles that are deeply personal and, in most cases, completely obscured from public view. The physical and emotional manifestations of this struggle will be apparent to those who are members of one’s inner circle. Though the seriousness of these situations will surely vary from individual to individual, one thing is certain this week: All must temper their thoughts and feelings in order to make forward motion. One is likely to find that what lies within can prove the greatest hindrance to progress.

Some may find that being behind the eight ball can, in fact, prove to be advantageous in certain situations. This is only temporary, however, and doesn’t outweigh the benefits of overcoming existing obstacles. Indeed, any such advantages are likely to turn into distinct disadvantages after too long!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You may choose to go back to your original plan this week after adjustments you’ve made don’t pan out. This is your best course of action. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – You’ll want to confirm with others just what is expected this week before going to any great lengths to do what has been promised. Get all the info!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) You may receive news early in the

week that has you reeling for a time — until it dawns on you that what it contains can be beneficial.

(Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – You’ll be better off as the week ends than you were when it opens — but you’ll want to take care that this is more than a short-lived trend.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) You are interested in dealing with certainties this week — but that will require you to do more than usual to nail someone else down.

(Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – What you find yourself working with this week may not be ideal, but you can adjust your usual methods in order to optimize the performance of subpar tools.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You’ll want to steer clear of the second rate this week. You must deal only with what ranks as high as possible; surround yourself with the best! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – You must stay loose and flexible this week — mentally as well as physically — in order to deal with a barrage of rapidly changing circumstances.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You’re nearing the end of something that you will certainly miss — but you may also realize that not all of it has been ideal for you. (March 6-March 20) – Collaboration proves more difficult than usual this week, in part because you have welcomed a new member to your team. He or

she does things differently.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) You may be surprised to learn that you’ve not been keeping up to date with something that could soon cost you. You can catch up. (April 5-April 19) – You may have been dealing with a charlatan recently, and this week’s interactions are likely to prove it to you once and for all.

Make a change!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You’re used to things happening in a certain way, surely, but this week you can benefit from careful experimentation with new methods. (May 6-May 20) – An old friend raises questions that you’ve been avoiding for quite some time. This week you can come up with the answers that will do both of you much good.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) Someone is trying to outmatch you in some way, but you’re ready for almost anything and can prevail no matter how aggressive the challenge is. (June 7-June 20) – It’s a good week for proving who you are — to yourself, to your friends and especially to those who have been critical of you in the past. Don’t back down!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) You can’t turn your feelings on and off like a light switch — though this week you may wish

that you had such control over emotional issues. (July 8-July 22) – You may feel yourself getting lost in a quagmire of issues that are all over the map this week.

The first question you must answer is: Where do you begin?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You are used to being far more practical than most, but this week you may choose to indulge in flights of fancy. This is brave and beneficial. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – You can make much use of the time you spend waiting for someone else to deliver the goods this week. He or she does not control your own productivity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You may have to make something of a sacrifice early in the week if you want to be where you had planned later on. Not all goes smoothly. (Sept. 8-Sept.

22) – An admirer challenges you to go further than you have before. Take the time to assess any potential threat — which may be cleverly disguised.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) The time has come for you to reveal something you’ve been keeping under wraps for some time. The effect will be electric, and the rewards good. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – You will want to take shelter from a coming emotional storm — if, indeed, you recognize it before it is upon you. Someone you know holds the key.

movie trailer

‘The Haunting of Hill House’ worth binge watching

By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood At one point in one of the 10 episodes of “The Haunting of Hill House,” simultaneous shrieks reverberated off the walls of this house. It was a jump scare so unexpected and jarring that you’ll easily glaze over and forget that it interrupted some truly gut-wrenching, smart dialogue. It is so damn frightening that it could potentially be the scariest two seconds ever put to film.

Normally, movie reviews are in this space, but “The Haunting of Hill House” accomplishes so much while touching on so many themes that it’s easily some of the best entertainment of 2018. It’s definitely more of a commitment to complete than spending two hours in a

movie theater, but this horror-family drama mashup is well worth the time.

While it’s being sold as a classic haunted house horror series, this is a psychological family drama with layers upon layers of smart storytelling. Each episode is loaded with scares and general unease, but what makes this series unique is how it’s more interested in what happens after surviving a haunted house. So the question is this: How do adults handle supernatural trauma from their childhood?

Based on the lives of the Crain family, the answer to that question is “not well.” Seemingly nothing goes right from the second that pre-HGTV house flipper pros Hugh and Olivia (Henry Thomas and Carla Gugino) move their five children into the

Hill House. While they are busy fixing up the mansion that clearly is screaming “get out of here ASAP,” their kiddos take the brunt of paranormal activity and Olivia eventually meets a mysterious demise.

Olivia’s 1992 death remains a mystery to the present day adult Crain kids as Hugh (now played

by Timothy Hutton) refuses to tell them what actually happened. Their lives have varying levels of success with the oldest, Steven (Michiel Huisman), becoming a successful horror novelist that based his first book on their lives in Hill House.

Eldest daughter Shirley (Elizabeth Reaser) owns a failing funeral home and the middle kid, Theodora (Kate Siegel), lives in Shirley’s guest house as a child psychologist by day

NETFLIX

Carla Gugino stars in "The Haunting of Hillhouse." and an almost-closeted gay woman by night.

The youngest kids, Luke and Nell (Oliver Jackson-Cohen and Victoria Pedretti), are twins with a strong bond that was only made stronger after they took on most of the ghastly creeps as kids. Luke is definitely the worse off of the bunch as he’s spent the majority of his life in and out of drug rehab. Tragedy strikes the family again and that’s when ghosts from the past begin popping up for them.

And those ghosts are absolutely terrifying. There are times when you can tell it’s coming and it doesn’t

matter. It’s as haunting as anything captured on film can be and there are legitimate times when looking away from the screen seems like an option. If you think those moments are something, pay attention to the background of Hill House. There are seemingly dozens of “ghosts” just hanging out in corners, standing there behind the Crains without their knowledge. They stay completely still, which somehow becomes more ominous than when they actually interact with the living.

The scares do take a backseat to the mental

Without Spacey, is it a ‘House of Cards?’

By Ed Bark unclebarky@verizon.net The man who is not there both haunts and hovers over the last term for Netflix’s game-changing “House of Cards.”

Specifically put, how did Francis Underwood die, after the man who played him, Kevin Spacey, killed his career?

strife that all the Crains have dealt with after leaving the house. They bicker, lie, distrust and are overall jerks to their siblings.

Some of the arguments will be easily identifiable to many families, but these get ramped up to unbearable levels when interrupted by dead people.

Television has become the hip place for great storytelling, and “The Haunting of Hill House” continues that trend. It’s a great series that is self-contained without a hint of “franchise” in it. The frights and drama make it a great reason to stay home at night.

me that if I were a man?” she bristles after addressing the troops during a Fourth of July rallying cry for her administration’s new aggression in Syria.

In Episode 2, Claire proclaims, “The reign of the middle-aged white man is over.”

NETFLIX And in Episode 5, “Shall I resign for the high crime of being a female?”

But by the end of this hour, “House of Cards” is aces again, courtesy of a galvanizing and genuinely surEd Bark prising gendergone-wild twist.

That’s meant as a compliment — story-wise at least — although Claire’s motives remain the same.

She’ll do whatever it takes to remain in power, including the murders she’s already authorized or committed herself. Claire is a feminist strictly on her own terms, with a long-acquired taste for the jugular.

Perhaps a certain real-life sitting President would relish having someone like her as a running mate.

Except that Claire would be calling the shots. All of them.

Emulating her late husband and de facto mentor, Claire also has taken to talking to the camera. During the re-juiced Episode 5, her seemingly darkest hours as President are no cause for worry.

“Don’t worry I have a plan,” she assures living room onlookers.

Even so, “House of

Cards” also can be a victim of its own excesses, which are now built up into a heavy goo of previous evil and investigations of same by the sometimes ridiculously dogged Tom Hammerschmidt (Boris McGiver). He’s the highstrung and at times wrungout investigative reporter who’s still trying to piece together who killed former Washington Herald colleague Zoe Barnes (Kate Mara) near the start of Season 2.

“House of Cards” devotees certainly will remember that then shocking scene. Since then, what really shocks anymore? The betrayals, bed-hoppings, fatalities and misdirections have piled up to the point where basically no one has clean hands. In her particular case, Claire has long believed what she tells the camera in Episode 4: “Presidents aren’t allowed to be human. You have to choose: power or love. That was very clear from the beginning.”

She learned from the master. And Wright’s performance reflects all of her late husband’s cynicism, calculation and deep, unhealed wounds that powered his engine, and now hers as a President who pledges allegiance only to herself and her gender.

Francis Underwood is an accessory to all of “House of Cards’” many crimes in this final season of divides and conquers.

In the end, who will end up atop the Iron Throne?

Oh wait, that’s another TV series. But this one seems no less bloody. And yes, it’s high time to put an end to it.

Ed Bark, who runs the TV website unclebarky. com, is a past member of the national Peabody awards board.

you can’t get to sleep in the next half hour, get up and do something else.

Sometimes, that’s all you can do.

Lastly, eating healthy and consistently is always a great way to ensure your best state of brain health. The brain keeps your body regulated and energy up, while allowing you to wind down naturally at the end of the day.

To function properly, the body needs a steady supply of fuel — glucose.

The brain is one of the most energy-demanding organs in the body, as it needs about 120 grams of glucose a day, but that doesn't mean we have to eat a lot of carbs (pasta, rice, bread). The body will run on fat, also known as ketones, an alternative energy source for the brain that can provide up to 60 percent of the energy for the brain. So, get your efficient supply of brain food and your ability to power through the day and relax at night should even out.

Keep these tips in mind as you go throughout your day. If you can’t wait until you clock out, try to implement five to 10-minute breaks here and there for coping in the moment and keeping yourself mentally focused and stable.

Vilnius, Lithuania a city on the rise

By Michael Wald wald.world@yahoo.com Consider Vilnius, Lithuania, as a city on the rise. Since Lithuania finally escaped communist control in 1991, its city leaders have been busily working to make it into the modern city that it is today, while maintaining its old-world charm.

Today, you can visit Vilnius at a fraction of the cost of other European cities and have an equally good time. The food is unique to Lithuania, but very delicious.

Like Ireland, most dishes are served or made with potatoes and meat. The restaurants usually have pictures of the dishes on their menus because they know that few people outside Lithuania speak the language.

Lithuania is a member of the European Union and uses the Euro as its currency, making it very easy to convert money. That is done at a bank or by using one of the many ATM machines that are easily found. There is a super high-end shopping mall in town, called Europa, but I found it mostly deserted during evening shopping hours.

The city has a population of about 550,000, but feels much smaller. Most tourist areas are in the easily walkable Old Town on one side of the river that divides the city. Most commercial activity is on the other side of the river which is less than a decade old.

As you stroll through the Old Town with its cobblestone roads, you are transported back to the 14th century when much of this area was built. There seems to be a church around every corner. A main pedestrian street is lined with familiar tourist shops, such as ice cream stalls and coffee houses, along with restaurants and souvenir shops with amazingly low prices.

Despite all the fun in the Old Town viewing buildings, the main interest in Vilnius revolves around its convoluted history.

It received independence from Czarist Russia in 1918 only to be invaded by the Germans and Russians during the intervening years before it achieved independence again with the breakup of the Soviet Union, of which it was a part. With that independence, Lithuania adopted capitalism and threw off the shackles of communism. The transition seems to be going very well, but Lithuania does not forget its past.

Before World War II, the largest group of the population of Vilnius was Jewish, about 100,000 in number, and it was a seat of Jewish learning. The war wiped out most of this population, leaving only 3,000 Jews.

To gauge the effect of the war: There were 100 synagogues there at its start. Today there is but one. Under Russian domination, the KGB tortured many political dissidents and free thinkers in

Vilnius. Both of these activities, and more of the painful past, are documented in a genocide museum located in an old jail in the former KGB headquarters, a must-see, even if disturbing. If you see Old Town without seeing the museum, you will miss the most important story of Vilnius.

Get out of the city 45 minutes to visit a castle on an island in a lake in Trakai. There on Lake Galve sits a magnificently restored 14th century castle and museum with authentic period pieces in its collection. The castle is the site of official functions when Lithuania entertains foreign dignitaries, as when it held European leader summits. The town itself is charming to visit, and getting out on the lake in one of the numerous boating options is relaxing, weather permitting.

Of particular interest is the fact that a Turkish religious sect whose worship is based on the Old Testament, the Karaims, were brought to Trakai to serve as guards for the royal occupant of the castle in the 14th century.

They still live in this area maintaining their religious practices.

In Trakai, one of the traditional dishes of the Karaim is very popular, called kybyn, and there are Karaim restaurants. You can identify Karaim homes by their unique three-window design all around Trakai. A Karaim house of worship, the Kenesa, still operates here. Although their religion is in many ways similar to

Destiny Child’s Michelle Williams chats candidly

By Leah Frazier leahfarizer.com Something felt wrong to Michelle Williams — very wrong. Since the seventh or eighth grade, the former Destiny’s Child member recalls feelings of isolation, anger and the overwhelming sense to sleep.

Unable to categorize what she was feeling, she ventured on in life with the hopes that everything would be alright.

At the peak of Destiny’s Child’s success, Williams approached the group’s then manager Matthew Knowles, saying, “I think I’m depressed.” It is then that Williams was reminded about the multi-million dollar deal the group had just signed, the Barbie dolls that were coming out and the upcoming tour.

She retreated back to herself, mulling over the things that were materializing. She thought, “So I’m not depressed, maybe I’m

just tired.” This cyclical thinking would flick off and on for Michelle — until one day, she finally sought professional help.

“I made [the] decision to seek help,” Williams reflected. “I sought it out privately [and] it got out to the public. That’s not something that I wanted to get out publicly. I wanted to talk about it when I wanted to talk about it. Once it got out, I was IAMMICHELLE.COM like, ‘You’re not gonna Michelle Williams. tell my story!
