Tom Story for ASU

Courtesy Sarah Galvin

ASU student to attend Nobel Peace Prize Ceremonies Dominique Del Grosso • College Times At age 18, Sarah Galvin isn’t just smart. She’s talented, motivated and determined, and she always has been. In fact, she’s going to the Nobel Peace Prize ceremonies in December because she recently competed against 1,700 of the world’s top high school students at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, during which she was awarded a first-place prize and a ticket to Stockholm. Born and raised in the Chandler area, she has been science-minded from the start, but simply studying and observing science didn’t satisfy. Over time, Galvin realized she wanted to explore in a handson environment with the hopes to one day do something important or perhaps make a lasting impact on the world. Clearly, her scientific prowess extends beyond the classroom. Under the tutelage of Nathan Newman, a professor in the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy at ASU, Galvin discovered spintronics, or transport electronics. She learned that by changing or flipping the orientation of an electron’s ends—or reversing the north or south orientation—will make the electron respond like a magnet. This breakthrough is big. So big that it will be instrumental in the creation of nextgeneration devices. Spintronics is a massive field of study that applies to nearly every device; from cell phones to a rocket’s supercomputer to every device in between. Galvin’s spintronics breakthrough will help to create faster, more compact and energy efficient devices. After this level of achievement, you’d think Galvin’s feet would never again touch the ground, but her attitude is quite the contrary. She is matter-of-fact, eloquent and incredibly mature for someone her age. And, it’s clear that even after receiving such recognition in the international science community, recognizing her genius and gifted mind couldn’t be farther off her radar.

ASU’s Veterans Association marches at the 2013 Salute to Service. Sarah Galvin.

“I don’t think I am [gifted]. I’ve said this, I was given a unique opportunity, I fell into the research I was doing. It was good luck that I began working with such an interesting project. I put in the time and had the background knowledge, but I’d like to think that anyone else with my background knowledge could have done what I did,” she says. “I’m still pretty doubtful about my potential because the work that I do is really complicated. It’s impossible to know everything.” But beyond her scientific achievements, Galvin is strikingly “normal” and similar to her peers in many ways. She rides around campus on her Razor scooter, she has a close-knit group of friends, she stays fit by playing in tennis competitions and spends time in the gym, she loves to drink tea, is a good cook, but she promises that she is a terrible dancer and speller. Like other young women her age, she worries about what she’ll wear to a big event. But in Galvin’s case, her big event just happens to be the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremonies. “Figuring out what to wear is really hard. You can’t wear a prom dress kind of thing. I have to wear something classy and understated. I found a blood red wine dress online: full-length, sleeveless. I am getting my hair done and I have to bring my own makeup,” she says. At the end of the day, no matter the level of success Galvin experiences, she is certain that achieving her goal of making a difference is important, but perhaps not as important as those she loves most. “The most important thing in life isn’t a thing; it’s people,” she says.

ASU, Maricopa Community Colleges ranked among top schools for veterans Julia Thatcher • College Times The Valley is a good place to be a veteran student, according to recent rankings. Amidst a nationwide scandal uncovering the mistreatment of veterans in Veterans Affairs Centers across the country, including Arizona, ASU stands as one of the top colleges for veterans by G.I. Jobs magazine, a publication that serves the 400,000 service men and women who leave the military each year and return to the civilian workforce. Also working to make college an attainable goal for veterans, Maricopa Community Colleges recently announced that all 10 colleges are to be honored with the 2015 Military Friendly Status. This year, ASU was also ranked second as the “Best College for Veterans” by College Factual, a list that is used to recognizes the top 15 percent of universities and trade schools that lead in providing educational support and benefits for veterans. Not new to these lists, ASU has been receiving accolades for their commitment to veterans for many years. However, the university continues to be a pioneering leader in finding innovative ways to support not just military personnel, but their families as well.

The VetSuccess on Campus center is one of the original eight locations selected to be a part of a joint pilot program with the VA to have a vocational rehabilitation program and outreach coordinator on campus. Transitioning soldiers from active duty to being college students, the center offers support in counseling, advising, medical centers and vocational exploration. Another tool unique to ASU is The Pat Tillman Veterans Center, which opened in the fall 2011, which offers a wide range of tools and support for student veterans not just directly related to their studies, but also housing and childcare. In 2011, Governor Jan Brewer signed into law that any honorably discharged veteran moving to Arizona would automatically receive in-state tuition at any state university or college. ASU has also created a scholarship program to honor Pat Tillman, the fallen ASU alum who was killed by friendly fire fighting in Afghanistan. Scholarship programs and events that honor Pat Tillman work to honor his character, commitment to service and excellence. Currently there are 3,108 students on the GI bill attending ASU, according to College Factual, and in Spring 2014, 250 veteran students were approved for graduation. ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

Snowdevils president on the best powder in and around Arizona

Ana Anguiano • College Times Now that it’s cooling down and the skiing/snowboarding season is upon us, we wanted to find out where the best places are to make the most of it. Obviously a bit of travel is needed if you’re sitting in the middle of Arizona wanting to get in touch with some fresh powder, but Kenny McMillan, president of Snowdevils in Tempe, says Arizona is situated in the middle of some prime snowboarding locations that are only a road trip away, so we asked him to share some of his favorite snowboarding locations.

Telluride Location: Telluride, Colorado Website: tellurideskiresort.com Skiable acres: 2,000 Number of lifts: 18 Number of trails: 120 Vertical lift: 3,274 ft. Located eight hours away from Phoenix, Telluride is a community that’s all about making tourists feel welcome in their beautifully scenic town. McMillan says the mountain is massive and that the ride down from the peak is extensive. “The town of telluride is just phenomenal,” McMillan says. “The people are awesome, they’ve got great restaurants and a couple bars. I met a girl who was working at the time at a liquor store that I may or may not have fallen in love with.”

NOVEMBER 6 -19, 2014 •

Arizona Snowbowl Location: Flagstaff, Arizona Website: arizonasnowbowl.com Skiable acres: 777 Number of lifts: 6 Number of trails: 40 Vertical lift: 2,300 ft. Just 14 miles outside of Flagstaff in the San Francisco Peaks, Arizona Snowbowl tempts Phoenix residents with its beautiful trails. Expert riders will also be pleased to try

out Sunset Terrain Park to hit boxes, rails, hits, spines, and more. McMillan says Snowbowl is the perfect place to get that itchy ski and snowboarding urge out of your system and he compliments their friendly and knowledgeable staff. He also says it’s a great mountain for beginners to learn what skiing and snowboarding are all about.

Wolf Creek boasts the most snow in Colorado, averaging 430 natural inches of snowfall annually. The Snowdevils have made a tradition of going to Wolf Creek every Thanksgiving because they are such massive fans. The town surrounding it is quite small and friendly, but did we mention they have natural hot springs? “Wolf Creek is amazing,” McMillan says. “The reason we go there every Thanksgiving is because early on in the season, they’ve got knee-to-waist deep powder on their back country.”

“They really try to make you feel like you’re not just a resort—you’re at your friend’s mountain. It’s a really friendly place,” McMillan says. Big Bear is for big boys and girls and with 17 rideable miles, it might not be best suited for first timers. They even have a superpipe, halfpipe and beginner pipe for anyone who wants to try their hand at Olympic greatness. “Bear mountain is all park,” McMillan says. “If you’re into trying tricks or doing tricks, that is your wheelhouse. Red Bull dropped a whole bunch of money to make the Red Bull Plaza. It looks like they pulled stuff out of a city and dropped it on the mountain and were like, ‘Hit it.’”

Mammoth Mountain has the highest summit of any California resort and is happy to report 400 inches of snowfall and 300 days of sunshine annually on average. McMillan says it’s a family friendly place that’s covered in snow and ready to go.

Mildcats, ASU’s cat rescue club Megan Stalbaum • College Times Upon hearing the name “Mildcats,” you might think this club is all about making fun of the UofA kitties to the south. In actuality, it sort of is, but it’s also much more literal than that. The Mildcats ASU club focuses on cats, and only cats, and has been doing so for more than10 years. Krystal Yeager, president of Mildcats ASU, gave College Times the scoop, (but luckily not a scoop of litter). Me-wow! College Times: How did the club get its name “Mildcats ASU?” Yeager: I asked some of the older staff, and they said it was a pun, kind of on ASU’s rival the Wildcats. They were going to call it “Wildcats,” but since it is copyrighted, they couldn’t. They just thought, “Oh Mildcats! That’s good!” And it just kind of stuck. How many homeless cats do you save in a year? We don’t save them…I mean, most of the cats we find are feral cats. They really can’t be adopted. Last semester we rescued about 30 kittens. They found homes because they were still young enough to be socialized to humans. The older cats we find, we just have to leave them. TNR stands for trap, neuter and return. That is what we basically do. We trap the cats, we get them fixed at the vet, and then we return them back to where we found them. There’s been known to be this thing called the vacuum affect. If you completely rid an area of cats because they are so territorial, other cats are

November 6 -19, 2014 • ecollegetimes.com

going to claim that territory. That’s why it has been deemed the best solution, just to let them live; let them live out their lives as peacefully as they can. The amount of cats that are living around us is a human problem. We have created this problem for ourselves and we need to fix it in the most humane way possible. How does your club catch the cats? We have true cat humane traps. They have an open swinging door on one end and you put food in there. Since we feed them, they are used to being fed and having feeders come. We stop feeding them for like a day or so, so that they are hungry. Then we put the food in the trap and then they go in. We take them to the vet and they get their procedures done. We give them their first round of shots, rabies and distemper, that kind of stuff. Once they are off the anesthesia and ready to go out, we release them back to where we found them. What should people do if they want to get involved with this club? You can contact me [kdyeager@asu. edu]. We have different roles for club members. If you are more interested in the cats on campus, you can help us with that kind of thing. If you are more interested in volunteering at a shelter, we also have connections with shelters. We can help you get connected if that is what you want to do.

... Snowboarding Christina Caldwell • College Times My current boyfriend of four-and-a-half years tells me that snowboarding as a new couple is a recipe for a break up. There’s a reason he’s my current boyfriend and not the boyfriend I’m talking about on this trip. Five years ago, I first tried snowboarding. Not a “new” couple necessarily, but I was official with the guy I was dating for about five months before he decided we should go snowboarding with his friends. On the ride there, we were told that, despite having paid the exact same amount of money to rent a condo for the weekend, my boyfriend and I would have to sleep on the floor. Everyone else had a bed—just not us—for a reason that is still unclear to me. Sleeping on the ground the first night made me a bit stiff for when we set out for the bunny hill the next morning. At least that’s what I thought was our destination, being that I had literally zero experience in snow, let alone shredding the slopes. Instead, my boyfriend decided to head to the advanced slopes and leave me with the three unfriendly girls, all of which have snowboarded before and told me to come on a medium run with them. “It will be fine. It’s really not that hard.” Never mind the fact that a boyfriend should be supportive when his girlfriend is scared, or that strangers are typically kind to new people. These people were none of those things, except one kind girl who took pity on my newb-ness. I locked one foot into my board for the first time. I went up the ski lift for the first time. I face planted for the first time once jumping off. This is common for first timers, but usually this happens on the bunny slope where onlookers reserve judgment. That

didn’t happen here. I boot-scooted my way to the side of the top of the hill and looked down. “That’s a big slope.” I’m not someone who gives up easily, but getting up on a board is tough work. Once you lock your other foot in, you need to get up from the ground using nothing but ab and leg strength. And when you fall a lot, which you do as a first timer, you need to get up again and again. I was worn out after about 8 minutes. After a 20 minute lesson, the pity party is over and my “friend” decided it was her time to shine. I was left on the hill alone, trying my damndest, but I just kept falling on my face, then on my ass. On my ass, then on my face again—halfway down the hill. Once I did make progress, I veered into the path of two people skiing down the hill, and that’s when I called it quits. I took my board off and walked my snow-covered ass down the hill. But then the board slipped out of my hand. Since boards are literally designed to slide down snow, it did just that. The ghost board was really shredding the damn thing, even hitting the small jump at the end of the hill. What a show off. By the time I caught up with my board, there was a small crowd of people looking around for me, asking how it happened. I explained, they gave me a look that was a combination of pity and sincere WTF, and I went to go get a beer in the lodge; the watered-down beer that made no affect on my sobriety, and that’s when I vowed to break up with my boyfriend. Eventually I forgave him. Instead he broke up with me via Blackberry Messenger a few months later when I was in between the first and second drive-thru window at an Arby’s.

SCREEN NAME

Shame Screen name disasters from the early Internet

Julia Thatcher • College Times Well before we all learned the importance of a professional online presence, our instant messenger chat names told a lot more about our likes and interests than we ever could. Nothing made your innocent

adolescent self tremble more than seeing a message pop up on your screen from “hottie63.” Let’s all just be thankful that our AIM names aren’t stuck with us for life like bad tattoos.

Allison Bychowski, aka “CapitanOaty” “Oh gosh! I had so many! I guess my main user name was ‘CapitanOaty.’ My friends used to call me that. I don’t really know why. It was the name of a character in a TV show. The character was a horse, and I am terrified of horses, so I guess that’s why.”

Reshea Stegall, aka “ORLYLVR23” “So embarrassing. I loved Orlando Bloom when I was like 11 or 12, and I read a biography on him that said everyone growing up called him Orly. Nothing is more embarrassing than people thinking you liked X-rated activities at 12.”

Brian Smith Jr., aka “B_RI_Smitty” “My last name is Smith, so friends and teammates called me ‘Smitty.’ They still do; the nickname kinda stuck.”

Yahaira Jacquez, aka “yajirababee” “People thought that the last word was like ‘baby,’ and it wasn’t—it was just babe. It’s still embarrassing because it’s on certain pages. I don’t want people to think I was trying to be sexy or something. It’s just really awkward now.”

Mark Lemke, aka “tennisplayer96” “I don’t really have an embarrassing one. It was always something like ‘mark. lemke.’ I was always taught to have really professional emails and stuff growing up. Oh wait! I did have one! I played tennis—a lot of tennis. It was essentially my life, so I took on the persona of a tennis player. It was ‘tennisplayer96.’ ‘96 is the year I was born.”

James Kroeger, aka “86jkrockstar” “Easy. 86 was my pewee football number and I was REALLY into metal.”

Lucas DeSimone, aka “Cheezitlvr” “I’m not even embarrassed! I loved Cheez-Its. Still do! So you know, I was going to have that as my screen name!”

Forest Holland, aka “Gumpy77” “Kids on my baseball team called me ‘Gumpy.’ You know, like Forrest Gump? And, 7 was my favorite number, but that was taken, so I used 77.”

Jerome Edison, aka “Skimmer3,” “Mauijerome,” and “jbone69” “I had a lot! I used to live in Hawaii when I was little, and I was always skimboarding. I skimboarded all the time. Like a lot! Then I changed it to ‘Mauijerome,’ and then I changed it to ‘jbone69,’ my football team called me ‘j-bone’ but I added the 69 to it, but I never actually used it.” ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

Tyler Murphy, ASU’s Sparky’s Crew Dominique Del Grosso • College Times ASU has a Spirit Squad, and the Spirit Squad has a division called Sparky’s Crew. As you can imagine, Sparky’s Crew has—well, you know—lots of spark and tons of S-P-I-R-I-T! So what exactly is Sparky’s Crew? Don’t be confused, they’re male cheerleaders, sans the official cheerleader title. Oftentimes male cheerleaders can get a bum rap, but thanks to Tyler Murphy, team captain of Sparky’s Crew, the male morale stays is at an all-time high, as he discussed with College Times. College Times: Although the female cheerleaders, the Spirit Leaders, do a great job of revving up the crowd, do you think male cheerleaders are essential to the squad? Murphy: Having guys, it’s a lot easier to put up harder stunts. It’s a lot easier to do pyramids and basket tosses. Adding guys adds a lot of physical strength and difficulty. How do guys become part of the squad? After the NCAA basketball tournament, that’s when we have our spring tryouts. It’s basically three days of stunting, interviews and basically just waiting

as high as we can and show them what we can do, they usually change their minds. The fun part is changing people’s perspectives.

What are the rules squad members have to abide by? Basically, the rules are program-wide. We have to be a full-time student, we can’t do drugs and drink alcohol, and we have a good reputation on social media. Our coach stresses that we need to be responsible online and keep a respectable image.

Do you get more dates because of being on Sparky’s Crew? Well, you definitely expand who knows you. I guess you can say that it opens up your network in one way or another. I’ve met a couple of nice young ladies while being part of the squad. (Laughs)

Do you cross train to stay in shape? We have a trainer that the whole program goes and sees a minimum of two days each week. Most of the guys are in the weight room four days each week, whether that’s with our trainer or at the SRC weight room. You have to practice the skills and get better. You have to build yourself up to be better as an athlete. Are fans, athletes and community members supportive of the male cheerleaders at ASU? It’s definitely half and half. When you tell people that you’re a male cheerleader, the first thing that probably comes to mind is that we just dance around, but when I tell people that we throw girls

It’s a lot of mentoring younger guys, making sure people and things are taken care of on game day and that everyone’s motivation and heads are in the right place.

Game day rituals

ASU football players open up about their pre-game quirks Cailyn Finkel • College Times As many sports fans know, jinxes, rituals and superstitions are as much a part of the game as skills and scoring. This holds true for many of the players as well. A few key ASU football players took a time out with College Times to explain their habits, beliefs and pre-game activities they’re sure will result in a win. College Times: What rituals do you have before or during a game? Zane Gonzalez (sophomore, kicker): I don’t really do much. I just stretch out and cross myself before each kick. I think it’s one of those OCD things that just helps with confidence, really. Damarious Randall (senior, free safety): Well, the night before a game, I normally take a 35-minute shower, that’s around like 8 or 9, just before bed check. Then, me and Jordan Simone (ASU defensive back) will pick out something on Netflix, and we’ll actually watch a movie together. We normally mention something about the other team we’re playing, but after that, we get our mind off football before we go to sleep. What do you think that helps with? Randall: It just keeps you calm. If you get too “up” before a game, you can lose a

We know our opponent so well that thinking about it too much will mess up our minds. We need to do something to keep our mind off the game, so we talk about family, friends and anything except for football. Do you have any other superstitions? Randall: I think if I take a shower the day of the game then it will honestly drain a lot of my energy. I think the hot shower is taking sweat and stuff like that off me. What’s your favorite part of getting ready for a game? Randall: Getting the IV before the game because I cramp a lot. It’s so cold flowing through your veins—it feels great, other than the needle part. I’m scared of needles, so I try not to look at it. What rituals do you have before a game or practice? Mo Latu (senior, defensive tackle): Before practice, I definitely take advantage of Coach Graham’s idea of the picture in the locker. Definitely take a long look at the picture and think about all the hard work you need to do—it’s a picture of my wife and daughter.

What do you think that helps with? Latu: It really motivates me. When I’m down or I’m tired, I have to realize it’s not only me behind-the-scenes; it’s my wife and my daughter, so I’m not just doing this for me, I’m doing it for my family. Do you have any other game day superstitions? Latu: I used to be like that [overly cautious on game day] in high school, but then I realized that everything happens for a reason.

Before a game, my family knows very well not to text me because I like to be silent. I love silence. I’ve got three songs that I listen to before I can listen to anything else. – Jacom Brimhall

What rituals do you have before a game or practice? Jacom Brimhall (freshman, running back and special teams): Before a game, my family knows very well not to text me because I like to be silent. I love silence. I’ve got three songs that I listen to before I can listen to anything else. There are two Slipknot songs, and then since I’ve listened to rap my entire life, I have to listen to “We Dem Boyz” or something by Wiz Khalifa.

film. I listen to a couple highlight films, get pumped up before I go to bed and hopefully have dreams about the game.

How long have you been doing that? Brimhall: The three songs change every single year, but even in high school, I had three songs I always listened to. In high school, I would watch “Friday Night Lights” the night before. I would fall asleep watching that. Now here, because we’re in a hotel, I’ve also adapted to watching ASU highlights or

Do you guys have any group rituals or chants? Brimhall: Kind of. What the running backs do is we go out to dinner at Don and Charlie’s. I’m kind of new to the whole thing, since this is my first year, but what we do is everyone has to have asparagus. DJ Foster said we have to do it, so we do it!

Student Voices Staving off senioritis Cailyn Finkel • College Times As the summer came to a close, I was itching with anticipation for the semester to begin. “My last year of Cailyn Finkel school, ever,” I found myself daydreaming. Now that the semester is in full swing, I am left with the same deflation of excitement as every year before it. Even though as an upperclassman you get to take more classes based around your major than ever before, you can still find yourself doodling where notes should be taken and sneaking the not-so-occasional glimpse at your phone. Senioritis has officially kicked in, bringing with it the familiarity of high school senioritis. There are several things I’ve started doing to rid myself, albeit temporarily, of the lack of focus during my classes, and they can be useful for anyone else stuck in the same situation. I’ve started to repeat a mantra of sorts to myself that the things I’m learn-

ing in class cannot be missed or forgotten. The tools our professors pass onto us are meant to be used in the field, and now is the time to memorize those tips and tricks. This vital information is what is going to get you paid in the long-run, and an enthralling game of “Fruit Ninja” is not. I’ve started to use the agenda I bought the first week of school and had since forgotten about. If you don’t have one, get one. Planning actually makes you feel more efficient and seeing your week in front of your eyes makes it a lot easier to keep everything organized. If you’re extremely busy, you can even use different colored markers to differentiate between schoolwork, personal errands and whatever else the world throws at you. If you absolutely can’t resist the urge to let your mind roam during class, you can start to use the time to your benefit. There are many things that are going to happen immediately following graduation, and having a decent grasp on them can only help. There are some easy ways to do this such as searching for apartments in the area you hope to live in after graduation and then finding a cheaper backup plan, looking for jobs that are hiring and reaching out to professors for letters of recommendation to ensure you land your dream job.

STREET TEAM SHOT

Stop by the College Times booth on campus to score awesome free swag. This dude got a DVD/Blu-Ray copy of “Neighbors” for wearing an awesome vest. (We give away things very arbitrarily, so try your luck!) The last tip I’ve figured out is to look at school financially. This time in school is not to be wasted and you— at least most of you—literally cannot afford to miss what the professors are saying during class. You’re paying for the class anyway, and you’ve taken the time out of your day to attend, so you

might as well buckle down and pay attention. This is supposed to be the highlight of my 15-year education career. I’m going to focus more, not on where I’ll be after graduation, but where I am and what I’m doing today, and I think it’ll be for the best.

What keeps a food truck truckin’? Julia Thatcher • College Times The food truck industry has been booming in Phoenix for some time now. These trucks are majestic vehicles that carry some of the most delicious food in town. What we are unaware of is the maintenance and upkeep it takes to keep these food trucks truckin’. College Times spoke to local food truck owner of Liberty’s Biscuits, Rachel Millard, to answer some food truckin’ questions. Like any car, it can be expected that eventually, the driver will have to take care of a flat tire. Millard says that she hasn’t had to deal with that yet, but her truck is equipped to handle it with a spare on board at all times. She says Liberty’s Biscuits regularly checks the maintenance to avoid any issues that may occur while out on the road. Liberty’s Biscuits regularly works to keep the truck maintained. They built the truck from scratch so the truck would be fully equipped with the best possible parts. Millard explained that owners have two choices when they start a food truck business. “One option when starting a food truck is to buy a truck pre-made or to buy a base truck, then buy the equipment you need. There are professional installers who can then set it up. They set up the

water heater; stuff like that. We bought all the equipment and then had professionals set it up for us.” Millard says that what is typically a normal trip to the gas station, often results in people running up to the truck to see where it will be next. “We fill up at just a normal gas station…It’s cool, people recognize the truck and want food. We get some pretty great reactions.” Though it may be beautiful outside right now, this is not typical weather for Phoenix, which is a major issue to consider when thinking about keeping business booming in the heat of the summer with no indoor AC to cool off customers. Millard says that that is one of the advantages of owning a food trucks is being able to operate at night, and at locations where they are expecting people to be; it’s a huge help. Three things really help to keep people coming back for more are consistency, quality food and good customer service, she says. The food may be served out of a truck, but the health codes are always up to par (or should be anyway). How do you inspect a rolling restaurant? Millard says for food trucks, they go down to the office to be inspected. The certification lasts for one year; however, the trucks need to keep the health department up

to date about where they are going and their schedules. Millard says the health department can show up at anytime to do an inspection because they can make up their own schedules. Not just keeping up to date with the health department, most restaurants only need to meet the regulations and requirements of the city they are in, but food trucks need to meet the requirements of all cities they operate in. “You also need to keep the numbers to pay taxes because it varies. Some cities have different regulations like Chandler or Mesa, and in some cities, food trucks are still an uncharted territory. If we hear of a new code or something, we work to share it with [other owners] so [all the food trucks] can stay up to date.” Running a food truck isn’t like a reality TV show. “The biggest thing for me was just that it’s not what people see on TV. You really do have to work hard; you don’t just set up and people come there. You have to respect your customers, and keep them up to date. If you say you’re going to do something, you have to follow through. [The customers] are your livelihood.” People can find out where Millard and the rest of Liberty’s Biscuits are by checking out their regularly updated pages on Facebook or Twitter.

Culinary Dropout finds Tempe home at new Farmer Arts District Christina Caldwell • College Times “Dropout” isn’t exactly a word you want to hear around a college campus, but Culinary Dropout, one of local restaurateur Fox Restaurant Concepts’ most popular properties, is about to get all up in Tempe’s face with it. The restaurant, Culinary Dropout at the Yard, recently announced that it will open doors to its Farmer Arts District location December 9. The Farmer Arts District is a development devoted to the arts and nightlife, situated across the street from the former Sail Inn on Farmer Avenue and First Street. The vision for the Farmer Arts District is a big one. When completed, there will be a pedestrian pathway to Tempe Town Lake, The Lodge Bar & Grill will occupy the space that once housed Sail Inn, and a high-rise condo tower will find a home next to a new Whole Foods Market. A game area will be at the center of the project, as well as a coffee shop, music stage and a private room for art viewings. “We were inspired by the building,” says Anita Walker, vice president of marketing for Fox Restaurant Concepts. “Years ago Sam (Fox) looked at it and he was going to move our home office there, but at the time we didn’t have any East Valley locations ... so we moved our home office elsewhere, but he was so inspired by the building and the feel of it and the location and being in Tempe, so for a couple of years we kind of held it in our pocket to see if

an opportunity would come up and it finally did when we thought it would be a perfect location for a new Yard.” The 14,757 square foot space will include the Showcase Room, a private dining area meant to cater to parties, art shows and musical guests, and holds up to 250 people, but the Tempe restaurant will also cater to a Tempespecific audience—aka students. “The great thing about Culinary Dropout is it’s perfect for everyone, and everyone can come and enjoy the food and the beverage program, but we love for the new offices in the area, like State Farm, to be able to come... and of course the students at ASU,” Walker says. For students looking for part-time jobs, Culinary Dropout will host a career fair during the first two weeks of November and is looking to hire for 250 jobs, including servers, bartenders, hosts, cooks and more. Hiring will take place between Monday, November 3 through Saturday, November 8 and Monday, November 10 through Wednesday, November 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Applicants are encouraged to let their personality shine through the way they dress, since the restaurant has no official dress code. “We are very adamant about the personality that works for Culinary Dropout,” Walker says. “They’ve got to be fun and interesting and eclectic and artists and individual, really.”

Sunrise Park Resort is Arizona’s snow sport destination Dominique Del Grosso • College Times What’s in a name? Well, for Sunrise Park Resort, there’s way more than meets the eye. In fact, there’s a whole story behind the name; one that pays homage to the White Mountain Apache Tribe. Sunrise Park Resort, one of Arizona’s skiing and snowboarding destinations is owned by the White Mountain Apache Tribe. To the White Mountain Apache Tribe, in a young woman’s life, sunrise is a sacred time. At the time a young woman experiences the onset of adulthood, the tribal members gather on Sunrise Mountain for a sunrise dance to celebrate womanhood, Matthew Weiss, marketing director of Sunrise Park Resort, says. To honor such sacred traditions, the Resort opened its doors and instituted the name Sunrise Park Resort in 1972. Labeled as a “friendly, learn to” resort, Weiss says, the resort is for every snow sport goer. The Resort has three mountains: Sunrise Mountain, Apache Mountain and Cyclone Mountain, and each mountain offer something different. “We have 65 trails, and our mountain is 40 percent green, 40 percent blue, and 20 percent black runs,” Weiss says. “We have moguls, tree runs, and we have a good variety. Sunrise has the most variety of our trails. Apache has our wide trails and Cyclone has the steepest runs and the most blues and blacks.” From the Phoenix Convention Center, Weiss says that if you drive the speed limit, (which we, ahem, always encourage that you do), you can get to Sunrise Park Resort in four hours. If the drive is too far for your booty to handle or too expensive

for your near-poverty-stricken, college-self, Sunrise Park Resort partners with ski clubs, Action Ride Shop in Mesa, and Desert Snow Connection. With pick-up locations in the East and North Valley, Desert Snow Connection is a charter bus service that will deliver you to the resort. “The package includes your pass and transportation. You can buy a ticket and the bus ride. It’s the same as gas, but instead, you can sit back and relax. These are like the big tour, commuter buses,” Weiss says. “It takes about the same amount of time, give or take. Sometimes, they take up to 5 hours. And, they generally leave at about 4 a.m., and that will put them here at 9 a.m. Usually, they leave again at around 4 p.m. [from Sunrise Resort].” Since the Resort is four hours away, sometimes it can feel like more of a destination than a quick day-trip. And if that’s the case for you, luckily Sunrise Park Resort has a hotel for convenient, on-site, overnight stays. This season, Sunrise Park Resort is offering a $99 season pass for all full-time—enrolled in at least 12 credit hours—college students who attend an accredited university. Students are eligible to purchase the pass even if they attend universities outside of Arizona. The deal gets even sweeter with no blackout dates, and the pass is good all season long. So, our advice is that you get out there and shred some Sunrise slopes. Sunrise Park Resort, Highway 273, Greer, 928.735.7669, sunriseskipark. com

• A simple way to decorate for the holidays year after year is with an artificial tree. Hardware stores offer pre-lit trees with color-changing LED lights, meaning you can change the look and color of the tree with just a push of the pedal, making your decorating process much easier. For a formal dinner event, glowing white light sets a perfect ambiance. Switch to the multi-color option to delight the kids.

• Use holiday decorations in unexpected ways to add festive cheer in every room of your home with minimal effort. Try hanging ornaments to decorate live plants, light fixtures, doorway overhangs, stairwells, mirrors and even the mantel. For this project, don’t use expensive or family heirloom ornaments—just purchase coordinating ones that work with the color pattern you already have in the room. • Guests in the house mean more foot traffic and chance for a mess, but you don’t have to worry about those inevitable spills or stains. STAINMASTER carpets are 30 percent more resistant to stains than other brands, and with new carpets on the floor, you’ll have a fresh new look in your home that won’t cause you stress when everyone arrives for the holiday parties. • Potted evergreen plants decorated with lights bring plenty of festive feelings into a room. The best news is that when spring arrives, you can plant them outside in your backyard, or donate them to a community project that needs evergreen trees. Using live plants infuses the room with light and good, clean oxygen, and it’s the subtle touches your guests will appreciate and remember. With these timely tips, you and your home will be ready for a holiday season of celebrations.

Doug Benson takes comedy to new heights Dominique Del Grosso • College Times Toke it up. We’re not encouraging you to go smoke weed. We’re referring to Doug Benson, the stand-up comedian made famous from shows like, “Comedy Central Presents” and “Last Comic Standing.” Oh, and he’s also famous because he smokes weed— lots, and lots of weed. As a matter of fact, Benson, created the documentary “Super High Me”— yes, just like the similarly named documentary film, “Super Size Me.” But in place of consuming McDonald’s for 30 days straight, Benson smokes medical marijuana each and every one of those 30 days—puff, puff, puff. According to his “Super High Me” film, Benson watched “Super Size Me” while he was—well—high. Benson loved the concept, and the shots of McDonald’s food gave him a bad case of the munchies. Later, inspired by the “Super Size Me” film premise, Benson ripped on it in his stand-up comedy sketches. But the premise that was once a joke, gave him the inspiration for his own film, which is based on “firing it

up”—you know, marijuana, that is. Benson’s career is not simply that of a stand-up comic and filmmaker. He has two podcast shows, “Doug Loves Movies” and “Getting Doug With High,” which airs at 4:15 p.m. PST, leaving listeners just enough time to light-up before 4:20. On his podcast, “Getting Doug With High,” Benson focuses on—what else?—marijuana. Together with his guests, they smoke weed, discuss “pot topics,” and he asks guests marijuana-inspired lines of questioning. Benson’s other podcast, “Doug Loves Movies,” features discussions with guests about comedy and movies in front of a live audience. Benson’s love of ganja is so widely recognized that he has even hosted and cleaned up at the Stony Awards, hosted by High Times. With his sarcastic stoner humor, he will blaze Tempe Improv on November 13, where the audience is guaranteed a comedy contact-high. Tempe Imrov, 930 E.

Paint the Town Red

...and pink, and purple, and blue... at Life in Color Unleash Lyle Maxson • College Times If you think Downtown Phoenix is full of colorful characters already, just wait. Things are about to get a lot more vibrant, thanks to Life in Color Unleash. The highly-anticipated annual paint party at CityScape needs a bit of preparation. Luckily, we’re here to guide you if it’s your first foray into the world of paint parties. Walking into a paint party is a little overwhelming. The electronic music is thumping as you strut into the venue and look around at the paint-splattered EDM warriors that are making their way from the middle of the crowd. You look

at these people in disbelief and envy. “How do I get myself in the middle of this madness?” The first streak of cold paint hits your chest and you know that was the beginning of the end—of your clean clothes. You look around and realize that there are lunatics with paint guns surrounding the whole crowd. You look up and they’re dropping colorful splats from the ceiling. Hope you didn’t buy a new cute outfit or anything you plan on ever wearing again. The event claims the paint is “washable,” but once you’re drenched in a gallon of it, your clothes will never be the same. A small price to pay for the color explosion of carefree mayhem that will

take you over for the next few hours as the stage is set for headliner Krewella to display their latest drops and vocals. Also on the bill are Cash Cash and Futuristic Polar Bears for your turnt up pleasure. It’ll be a night to remember, and if that’s too much to ask, you can always keep your new tie-dyed shirt as a reminder of the chaos that ensues when you mix a few thousand energetic EDM fans with another few thousand gallons of paint.

Take time

Big department stores almost always have different release points for various products, most commonly: 12 a.m., 3 a.m., 5 a.m. Know what is being released, where in the store it’s located, and be ready to elbow if necessary. (It’s not personal, it’s business).

Off the beaten path

Prepare for battle!

How to Black Friday like a pro Julia Thatcher • College Times In true American fashion, a day after giving thanks for the people and things we have in our lives, everyone rushes to stores, nearly trampling over each other to get the greatest deals, best new products and 15 percent off those designer jeans. These tips have been gathered from years of practice, trial and error, and a questionable moral compass.

Group up

Go in a group of two minimum. Three is better. Large groups are equivalent to ultimate success. Arguably the most important tip, the more people in your Black Friday group, the higher the success rate. Each person is responsible for a task. Divide and conquer because there is no reason for four people to go to the DVD section when one person can grab the movies on the list for everyone.

In Communicado

Cells phones need to be 100 percent

What would you stand in line for on Black Friday? Stephanie Fagan “I would only stand in line for something like a TV or expensive electronic they were greatly less expensive than it normally it is”

NOVEMBER 6 -19, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

charged, but for the real pros, walkie talkies are a must. It should be fairly obvious why phones need to be 100 percent charged. Groups will get separated–it’s inevitable. (If you don’t, you aren’t utilizing your maximum potential). However, walkie talkies never fail. It is an easy way to communicate with the entire group at once with no delay, and by the push of a button. It’s hard to catch a signal with everyone using the same cell towers, but that problem can be eliminated. You will look like an idiot carrying it around, but you will never get lost and can alert the team about the great sale on aisle 21. Besides, no one goes to Best Buy at 1 a.m. the day after Thanksgiving to pick up a date.

Freeloader, aisle 1

Unless you are looking to spend more time in line then you did shopping, one person in the group needs to immediately get in line. There is no possible way the other team members will shop longer then it takes to stand in line. If by chance the person does reach the front of the line, let the people behind you go first while you wait.

Childlike innocence

CPS may come knocking on my door after this tip. Thirteen is young enough for adults to think they are cute and innocent, and 8 is old enough to have a focused goal, not complain, and not get lost. A young kid is vital to the success of the team. Small limbs slip through crowds easily and no one is going to yell at a child for grabbing the item that wasn’t supposed to be released until 5 a.m.

Everyone is going to go to the local Walmart or the electronic store right by the mall. Traveling a little farther or to a store whose chain isn’t as large can help avoid lines and save time, since the line at the Best Buy will be longer then the Fry’s Electronics line. If a different store is carrying what you want, it may be worth it to go elsewhere. Don’t forget to do your research, most stores will offer a price match.

Hide it behind the linens Mission totally possible

Pick up a paper the week before and scout for the best prices and the best deals. East coast ads are released online. If Walmart releases a surprise deal in New Jersey at 5 a.m. their time, Phoenix will know about it 2 a.m. our time.

Don’t get creative

Create a list of what to buy, and stick to it. You don’t need to be going home with a $374 grill only to remember later that you are a vegetarian. Don’t fall victim to the lure of the red half-priced-tags and flashing lights of sales. Only buy what you intended to.

Do your research

Just because stores put a sign on the shiny TV that reads “SALE” doesn’t mean the price is sale worthy. Make sure that what you are standing in line for is worth waking up at 2 a.m. with a turkey-induced hangover. Too many stores advertise a sale when the product is somewhere around that price all year. Don’t be fooled. Crosscheck ads, find the best prices. They are out there; it just takes a little extra work to locate.

Don’t scrimp to save

The saying, “you get what you pay for” is perfect here. Sometimes, it’s worth it to spend an extra $50 on the product to get the best or biggest version. If the investment is already being made, make sure to invest smart.

We can neither confirm nor deny that hiding anything behind the linens will keep it safe all night from being purchased from another buyer.

For hire

If college kids are willing to sell plasma for extra beer money, it really won’t take more than a couple bucks to pay them to stand in line during Black Friday. How this works is that most stores will give out a voucher for big-ticket items—let’s say a TV. Find a broke soul who is planning on going anyway and then pay them to grab a voucher for you when they are being passed out. Then, show up at 2 a.m. to get your voucher and pick up your TV. (Now is when we begin to question our moral compass.)

Dress for success

Closed-toe shoes are no debate. Every Black Friday shopper needs to be wearing these. If you are standing outside in line, wear warm layers. Wear a long-sleeved shirt and a hoodie. If you are going shopping for clothes, wear a tank top under your shirt to easily slip shirts on and off to avoid dressing rooms.

Snack time

Yes, you just ate that big Thanksgiving dinner, but your stomach won’t remember that at 4 a.m. Almonds and cashews are not messy. They’re easy to carry and fill you up the fastest. They’re highly recommended. Most coffee shops stay open all night to accommodate the crazies out there Black Friday shopping. (In other words, you and I, pal.)

How to wear bright tights without looking like a kid

Christina Caldwell • College Times It’s under 70 degrees, which means it’s time to break out the tights! Embracing tights season is an Arizona girl’s dream because they add so many new options to outfits you’re already rocking over the summer, but a trend that’s difficult to skirt (heh) is brightlycolored tights. Stores from American Apparel to Target are pushing this trend hard, and if you don’t know how to do it properly, you could easy wind up looking like a 5-year-old ballerina, not a 20-year-old fashionista. While twee is in, tween is not. Bring a dash of color to your wardrobe while still looking like an adult with these tips.

Pair with neutrals

This one is a no-brainer, but if you’re planning on wearing brightly-colored tights, your outfit deserves some thought. You’ll want to base your outfit around the tights, building a subtle ensemble with a peek of color. Beige and black never fail to look adult-like, so add in your colored tights for a youthful (but not too youthful) vibe. Getting the right neutrals to look good with colored tights is a feat, so if all else fails, you can pair anything with black.

Opposite attract

opposite of each other on the color wheel. If you’re planning on wearing a pair of navy tights, they’d look great with a maroon dress and gold cardigan. This look is all about subtlety, so go for deep, rich colors that remind you of royalty.

Grow up

You probably wouldn’t wear a Barbie pink dress to the boardroom, so don’t wear it on your legs. Bright, neon colors are great for summer, but unless you’re going to an ‘80s party, there’s no place for neon tones in winter. Unless you master the next tip...

Pair with over-the-knee boots

If you absolutely must wear your neoncolored tights, make sure there’s just a little showing. Those cobalt blue tights will actually look cute with black over-the-knee boots and a long, chunky black sweater. Use your tights as an accessory and not as the main chunk of the look.

Play dress up

Adultify this look with something only adults wear—a blazer. A boyfriend blazer dresses every outfit up and adds a classy touch to an otherwise outlandish look.

Magic Man is a whole lot of fun on and off stage Christina Fuoco-Karasinski • College Times The East Coast synth-pop band Magic Man recently finished a tour with Panic! at the Disco, shared the stage with Walk the Moon and garnered great reviews from the likes of Rolling Stone, Glamour, The Boston Globe and GQ. But what the duo behind Magic Man—vocalist Alex Caplow and guitarist/ keyboardist Sam Vanderhoop Lee—really wants to do is screw around during an interview. That’s not all bad, however. The main men of Magic Man, who will play its first Arizona show this month, a sold-out gig on November 16 at Crescent Ballroom, prefer to poke fun of each other in lieu of answering questions. It’s all pretty funny. Caplow and Lee spoke to College Times about the tour, its run with Panic! at the Disco and its latest album Before the Waves. College Times: You recently wrapped up a tour with Panic! at the Disco. How did that go? Lee: It was horrible. We hated it. No, that’s obviously not true. They’re really sweet guys. They’re some of our good friends. It was a really great time being able to play to so many new people every night. We definitely won over a lot of new fans, and played some of the biggest rooms we’ve ever played in our live career. We were really lucky to be on it. You’re playing an amazing venue called the Crescent Ballroom, which has a really good Mexican restaurant. That aside, what can we expect from your show? Lee: Actually we’ve switched the show. Now, we only play burritos and quesadillas live. So our drummer Joey (Sulkowski)

has churros and he hits them against the burritos to make percussive noises. OK, OK, the show will hopefully be a sweaty dance party with a lot of energy. It’s upbeat, fun music.

What was the most important thing you think you learned from him? Caplow: How to enjoy espresso. He’s a big coffee nut and he got us into that.

That’s one thing I like about Before the Waves is that it’s fun. Caplow: It’s cool to not be fun now for some reason. Lee: Ironically, it was at times very grueling to record Before the Waves. But it was so much fun to spend so much time working on one project—especially something we care about and love very much. For me technical side, (producer) Alex Aldi is incredibly gifted. He showed us the ropes. We’ve never really worked in a real studio before. His help with the technical side was really invaluable. He’s done tons of great records, which really helps.

You must have been pretty wired during the recording process. Caplow: There were long hours, that’s for sure. “Paris” was your first single. Do you know what the next single will be yet? Caplow: “Texas” is the new single in the U.K. We have a new video for it starring Abigail Breslin from “Little Miss Sunshine.” She was a fan on Twitter and then we got in touch and decided to have her in the video. Do you have a pretty big fan base in the U.K.?

Caplow: One of my best friends is from Phoenix. One of my favorite childhood vacation memories was being at a dude ranch (in Tucson). We went horseback riding. We got up really early and did a long hike and ate breakfast on a mountain top overlooking a beautiful landscape. I was wearing a cowboy hat that I bought there. Oh, was it Tanque Verde Ranch in Tucson? Caplow: Yes! That’s it. Lee: Alex promises to wear his cowboy hat on stage and every second that he’s in Arizona. Caplow: Sam likes to promise things for me.

Consonance and Dissonance

Manchester Orchestra explores two sides with new albums Christina Fuoco-Karasinski • College Times Alt rock band Manchester Orchestra will look for any cheap excuse to go back into the recording studio. So when the Atlanta-based act “went loud” with its album Cope, it retreated to the studio shortly after its release to turn soft for Hope. “Cope is a very hard-hitting, guitar-driven record,” says keyboardist Chris Freeman. “We decided to take a step back and reimagine that record in a softer way. “A lot of the vocals are brought up and the instrumentation was sparse. It was very liberating to be able to look at a finished record and reimagine it, rather than writing a whole new record.” Manchester Orchestra’s fifth album, Hope, grew out of fan reaction to a stripped-down arrangement of Cope’s “Top Notch,” which the band recorded for SiriusXM’s Alt Nation. The new album melds softer vocals by singer Andy Hull accompanied by Fender Rhodes electric piano, acoustic piano and some strings. Expect to hear that when Manchester Orchestra plays the Mesa Arts Center’s Ikeda Theatre on Thursday, November 6. “We’re going to play a lot of the Hope record,” he says. “But we’re trying to figure out how to pull off the string arrangements and the piano parts amongst five members. [The show] will be that and, on top of it, a reimaging of other songs. “I’m sure Andy will play a couple of acoustic songs as well. We’re trying to make this a special experience.” At the time of interview, Manchester Orchestra was in the midst of arranging the songs to play live. Freeman says that each member will play different keyboards. “I think it’ll be an experiment for sure,” he says with a laugh. It’s clear that Manchester Orchestra didn’t

reimagine Cope because it was unhappy with the product. “I feel like what we did with Cope was we consciously made an effort to make a rock record,” he says, “I think the fans like both sides of our band, which is being loud and quiet. We weren’t quiet on Cope and we could reimagine and do a labor of love for fans who enjoy that other side of us. That’s how it came about. We are versatile in what we can do. Why not use that gift and make a soft record, or a more pretty record?” Freeman is much more than a keyboardist for Manchester Orchestra. He is also the brains behind the merchandise and the cover art for Hope. “Being there for the process of the record does help when trying to imagine what the artwork should be,” explains Freeman, who was sketching new merchandise designs just before the chat. “The cover for Hope spawned from an idea for Cope. It originally seemed too illustrious for a hard-hitting record. “Taking that and using it for Hope made a lot of sense. I went back and flipped through some old sketches and found that. It was clear that that was the direction to go in with a sprawling record.” Like the designs, the album was a challenge. “It was an interesting and fun process, though,” he says. “We like to be in the studio and we were happy to get back in and hash out this thing. We had the freedom to do whatever we wanted. We have a sense of comfort when we’re working when we can go in any direction we want.” Manchester Orchestra w/Chris Staples, Mesa Arts Center’s Ikeda Theater, 1 E.

Secrets No More

Mary Lambert Lets it All Out Christina Fuoco-Karasinski • College Times With the release of her debut fulllength album, Heart on My Sleeve, Mary Lambert is hoping she’ll be known for more than her moving guest spot on Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ “Same Love.” Lambert certainly makes her mark with the opening track and first single, “Secrets,” on which she confesses to being “bipolar,” “overweight,” “gay” and “passive aggressive.” “I purposely bookended the record with ‘Secrets’ and ‘Sum of Our Parts,’” says Lambert, who performs at Club Red in Mesa on Sunday, November 9. “I wanted to say that you are worth more than any stigma. All of us carry beauty and all of us are worthy of love and acceptance and kindness.” She chose to put the lens on herself to share that joy of unabashed, unapologetic self-love. But she didn’t always feel that way. “There was a time in my life when I was guilty and ashamed of who I was because of my weight, the fact I was gay, clinically bipolar,” she says. “I hated looking in the mirror. I didn’t want to get out of bed. I didn’t deserve that. I deserve to live fully and love fully and be accepted for who I am. That first step in acceptance comes from

yourself.” Recording such a personal album weighed heavily on Lambert, who is a staple on the Seattle spoken-word scene. “There were definitely some songs where I was in the vocal booth crying and we had to pick the one take I wasn’t crying through,” she says frankly. “But it’s good. Crying is really cathartic and writing is really cathartic. The whole album was a reflection of my entire last year, which had growing pains. For me, my proudest moment as an artist is where I stand right now.” Those feelings are evident during her live shows as well. She expects her performance at Club Red to be moving on several levels. “Fans should expect a lot of feelings and just a really frickin’ good time,” she says with a laugh. “Similar to when someone hears the record, I want them to feel something at a show. I want them to be moved and feel whatever they’re hungry to feel—joy or grieving or sadness. I want someone to process what they need to process. I want to be a catalyst for that. But it’s fun. It’s part comedy show. I’m kind of a goofball.” Mary Lambert w/Jillette Johnson, Club Red, 1308 W. University Drive, Mesa, 480.258.2733, clubredrocks. com, Sunday, November 9, 7 p.m., $15-$18

PUZZLES Weekly SUDOKU

Go FIGURE

By Linda Thistle

Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each small nine-box square contains all of the numbers from one to nine.

The idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the figures given at the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram by following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given (that is, from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the numbers below the diagram to complete its blank squares and use each of the nine numbers only one.

(Answers below)

Salome’s STARS ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A long-sought workplace change could be happening soon. Consider reworking your ideas and preparing a presentation just in case. A personal relationship takes a new turn.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A misunderstanding with a partner or spouse needs to be worked out before it turns into something really nasty. Forget about your pride for now and make that first healing move.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your persuasiveness doesn’t really start to kick in until midweek. By then, you can count on having more supporters in your camp, including some you doubted would ever join you.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Communication dominates the week. Work out any misunderstandings with co-workers. Also get back in touch with old friends and those family members you rarely see.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your workload is still high, but — good news! — you should start to see daylight by the week’s end. Reserve the weekend for fun and games with friends and loved ones. You deserve it.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) As busy as your week is, make time for someone who feels shut out of your life. Your act of kindness could later prove to be more significant than you might have realized.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Regardless of how frustrating things are, keep that “Crab” under control. A cutting comment you might think is apt right now will leave others hurting for a long time to come.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Congratulations. Your busy workweek leads to some very satisfying results. Sports and sporting events are high on your weekend activities aspect. Enjoy them with family and friends.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Be more sensitive to the emotions of loved ones who might feel left out while you’re stalking that new opportunity. Be sure to make it up to them this weekend. A nice surprise could be waiting.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Your generosity of spirit reaches out once again to someone who needs reassurance. There might be problems, but keeping that line of communication open eventually pays off.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The gregarious Virgo rarely has a problem making new friends. But repairing frayed relationships doesn’t come easily. Still, if it’s what you want to do, you’ll find a way. Good luck.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You are among the truth-seekers in the universe, so don’t be surprised to find yourself caught up in a new pursuit of facts to counter what you believe is an insidious exercise in lying. ©2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
