HEALTH & FITNESS

Splash! Just like that, after days of rescheduling our cover photoshoot due to the first tropical storm of the season, our fitness models (and would-be cover model) needed no convincing to jump into the pool. The pool deck at The Estates was sunny, muggy and clear of debris. And pretty soon, residents hit the lounge chairs to soak up the few hours of sun that mercifully graced our cover shot (finally!). Behold—an issue devoted to hanging out this summer in the best possible ways, from your morning swim to trying your hand at video games, cheering from the sidelines, enjoying a cocktail with the sunset and taking in a summer movie. It’s a good time of year; dive right in.

Contributor Bios... Cover model Abby Garner isn’t afraid of a little competition in the pool. This Boca Grande native is a member of the University of Florida’s Trigator club triathlon team and has participated in the USA Triathlon Collegiate Nationals. With the time this 19-year-old junior doesn’t spend studying for her exercise science classes, she’s in the pool or ocean, surfing, paddle boarding and swimming, or you can find her tearing up the running trails in San Felasco.

COVER IMAGE by Sean Kelly at The Estates.

Test fitness model Ray Kozikowski’s mental or physical capacity and he’ll give you a run for your money. Originally from Ponte Vedra, Ray swam for Duke University during his undergrad years. Now, in his pursuit of his PhD in Biomechanical Engineering, he competes for UF’s Club Triathlon team, the Trigators. And he definitely builds up an appetite. Ray also once ate an entire pound of bacon fat to win a bet (and $1,000).

GET DOWN

DOWNTOWN

G i v e Yo u r D a d

Every year it gets more and more difficult: Getting Dad another tie, new golf club or new gadget is getting a little tired. This year, you can take Dad on a whole new adventure! Whether you have a dad with a green thumb— or you just want to do something different— Kanapaha Botanical Gardens is letting all dads in for free on Father’s Day (June 17). In addition to getting Dad in for free, there’s another perk; June is one of the best months to view the color and bloom variety. “You can have a great day taking in a beautiful walk through nature, and you can even bring a picnic,” says April Nipper, wedding and events coordinator. Visitors can enjoy 24 major collections throughout the gardens, including Florida’s largest public display of bamboos and the largest herb garden in the Southeast. Adult tickets are $7. Visit www.kanapaha.org/ index.htm or call 352-372-4981.

CARRY A

This month, the City of Gainesville’s “Free Fridays” downtown concert series is sticking to old-school style favorites. In celebration of African American Music Appreciation Month, the concert series will feature a variety of African American artists playing blues, rock, R&B and reggae at 8pm. “African Americans have impacted almost every genre of music in American society,” says David Ballard, events coordinator for the Division of Cultural Affairs for the City of Gainesville. “These great contributions make it important to celebrate their role in shaping music.” African American Music Appreciation Month is featuring groups like Little Jake Mitchell and the Soul Searchers, Iration, Wester Jospeh’s Stereo Vudu (pictured), Fast Lane and De Lions of Jah; expect a mix of modern sounds along with plenty of classics. “We’ve had a good number of people at the concert series so far this year, but it really depends on the style of music as well as the artist,” David says. He’s expecting June to be a crowded. “Free Fridays,” celebrating African American Music Appreciation Month, runs through June 29 in Bo Diddley Community Plaza starting at 8pm. To find out more information, visit www.gvlculturalaffairs.org or call 352-393-8746.

BULLYING

The award-winning documentary Bully is making an appearance in Gainesville at the Hippodrome Theatre on June 8 through June 14. Bully follows five children and their families over the course of one school year and gives insight into the cruel and fearful world of bullying that affects more than 13 million American children. “This movie isn’t about entertainment,” says cinema director Shirley Lasseter. “It’s about looking at life and thinking about how people act toward each other and how some people act out in violence.” After working for more than six months to secure the rights to show Bully at the Hippodrome, Shirley is encouraging everyone, not just school-aged kids, to see the documentary. “Bullying happens in all levels of our lives, from our family and social circles to our work circle,” Shirley says. “Seeing this film can help change our social environment; we can change the way we treat others and react to it.” There will be discussions and panels following the June 8 (6pm) screening and the June 9 (5:30pm) screening. Tickets are $7.50; see thehipp.org or call 352-375-4477.

REEL

MELON

The Florida Track Club will be kicking off the Fourth of July with a big bite of watermelon at the 34th Annual Melon Run. “The Fourth of July is a time to celebrate our nation’s independence with family and friends, and this event is a great way to do that,” says Stephen Crawford, a Florida Track Club board member. In addition to the traditional melon prize, this year’s race includes a new challenge. Participants can race to complete the one-mile kids course carrying a melon while trying to finish with both the fastest time and an uncompromised melon. According to Stephen, the Melon Run is Gainesville’s longest continuous road race and is considered to be almost “world famous” since the race’s beginning in the 1970s when the Florida Track Club attracted Olympic-caliber runners. All the festivities start at 8am on the east side of Albert “Ray” Massey Westside Park. Registration costs $25 and includes a T-shirt. Visit www.floridatrackclub.org.

FOR KIDS

Enjoy a classic summer pastime by participating in the Reeling for Kids Fishing Tournament June 7-9. Beginning in 2003, the tournament is the leading fundraising source for the local Boys & Girls Clubs and is one of the largest saltwater fishing tournaments on Florida’s West Coast. Former Gators quarterback Doug Johnson started the tournament to give back to the organization that helped him so that other kids in Alachua County could receive the same benefits. All tournament fish must be caught rod and reel and include varieties such as trout, red snapper, cobia, king fish and Spanish mackerel. And although it takes big fish to win, the prizes are even bigger. The tournament is a family-friendly event with prize categories for junior anglers to win too. In addition to the tournament, there will be a raffle with the chance to win a 15-foot custom built Mirage Flats Skiff. Boat registration costs $275 inshore and $375 offshore.

THIS MONTH AT THE HIPP Musical lovers and documentary buffs will come together this month at Gainesville’s historic Hippodrome Theatre. If you haven’t yet seen the Hipp’s most recent musical, The Marvelous Wonderettes, you have until Sunday, June 24. The off-Broadway musical takes the audience back to the 1958 Springfield High School prom where you meet the Wonderettes, four girls with big dreams and bigger hearts. With classic hits from the ‘50s and ‘60s such as “Lollipop,” “It’s My Party” and “Stupid Cupid,” this is like “musical prom” meets summer. Also showing at the Hipp this month is Bully, a character-driven documentary directed by Sundance and Emmy-award winning filmmaker

Lee Hirsch. The film follows five children and their families who have encountered bullying in their lives during the course of a school year. Along with the film, the Hipp will host a book signing by Maureen Duffy, author of Mobbing, a book written to stop and prevent school and workplace mobbing, on Friday, June 8, as well as a community discussion on Sunday, June 10. (See page 11.) While you’re at the Hipp, don’t forget to check out the art and the cinema throughout the month—it features a new international or independent film each week, which can be enjoyed after a stop by the bar and concession stand. See the thehipp.org or call 352-375-4477 for tickets and showtimes.

DRIVERS ED FOR LOVE You take classes for everything from careers to cooking to etiquette—and yes, driving— but rarely is there a chance to take a class on love. Now there’s a crash course in love right here in Gainesville. On June 23 at 12pm, Drivers Ed for Love will hold their “Getting the Keys for Adults” course at the Center for Innovation and Economic Development. According to Drivers Ed for Love, since safely navigating the road of love isn’t something on which our society puts a great emphasis, many people wait until they “crash” to get help. Getting the Keys was created to help empower people with the knowledge to choose wisely in love relationships no matter what your current relationship status is. Registration for Getting the Keys is $50. To learn more about Drivers Ed for Love and the Getting the Keys event, visit www.DriversEdforLove.com.

HISTORIC HAILE HOMESTEAD TOURS Explore some history right here in Gainesville by taking a Kanapaha Plantation Tour at the Historic Haile Homestead. Thomas Evans and Serena Chesnut Haile moved their family from South Carolina to Florida in 1854 and built a 1,500-acre Sea Island cotton plantation they completed in 1856 and named Kanapaha. Today, the historic Haile Homestead is one of the few remaining antebellum homes in North Central Florida and is unique for its “talking walls,” which refers the 12,500 words that the Haile family wrote on their walls in almost every room and closet. The Homestead is open to the public every Saturday from 10am to 2pm and on Sunday from 12pm to 4pm for $5. Visit www.hailehomestead.org.

If University of Florida students didn’t sign up for Summer A intramural sports, sadly they’ll have to wait until Summer B in July to join a team. However, that doesn’t mean they can’t enjoy watching their fellow students compete against each other. Activities for Summer A include indoor soccer, 5-on-5 basketball, co-rec kickball and co-rec softball. For Summer B, there will also be sand volleyball and Ultimate Frisbee to add to the lineup. Registration to participate in Summer B intramural sports begins on July 5 at 8am and ends the next day at 5pm. Registration is done online at UF’s RecSports website, and the activities will begin on July 9. (Students can register even if they aren’t taking classes). Still missing football? Have no fear. RecSports will hold a ﬂag football tournament for freshman on July 27 to July 29 and a wallyball tournament on July 31 at the Southwest Rec Center in late July. (Register for both starting on July 5.) If you’re looking for a challenge, then head out to Lake Wauburg, where the “Climb the Empire State Building @ Lake Wauburg” contest will going on until July 22. The ﬁrst 50 students to climb the wall 27 times— the equivalent of the Empire State Building—will receive a commemorative t-shirt.

For those interested in more than just shooting the breeze, the 4-H Youth Development organization will be hosting archery and air rifle daycamp events from June 18 to June 20 at the Gator Skeet and Trap Club. Unfortunately, the camp is only for those ages 8 to18, but adults looking for some sports fun can look on as local athletes participate in the Sunshine State Games, which are free and open to the public. The lacrosse games will take place on June 9 and 10 at the UF Lacrosse Stadium. An archery tournament for the games will take place on the same days at the Easton Newberry Sports Complex. On June 13 and 27, the Auto Plus Raceway in Gainesville will hold its regular Test & Tune drag race session at 6:30pm. On June 16, the raceway will hold the Summit E.T.

Then the US Senior Open Qualifier will take place on June 28.

TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have been playing a few dates around the U.S. before starting a European tour, including two Florida dates. I caught the show in Estero Florida and it was a nice mix of old and recent material that allowed Tom and the band to stretch out without ignoring the big hits. The ﬁrst hour was mostly Petty hits like “I Won’t Back Down,” and “Here Comes My Girl” (and “Handle With Care,” a Traveling Wilbury’s hit). He also threw in the excellent “Listen to Her Heart” (not a hit but still one of their classics). Then they loosened up with some blues and other recent material. They pulled out “Lover’s Touch” from the Mojo album, “I’m a Man” (a Bo Diddley cover), “Something Big” from the Hard Promises album (never a hit but Petty said it was one of his favorites), “Have Love Will Travel” from The Last DJ (which Tom introduced by saying “I dedicate this with all our love to the great Levon Helm”) and “Good Enough” from Mojo. Petty ditched his guitar for “I Should Have Known It” from Mojo. Other classics that popped up during the set included “Yer so Bad,” “Into the Great Wide Open” (with Mike Campbell on mandolin) and a jammy “Good to be King.”

The band loves returning to Florida, and Tom was quite chatty during the show. After “Free Falling,” Petty quipped, “We’re having fun out here. You’ve got to love Florida.” During “Spike” from Southern Accents, Petty introduced the song with a long backstory about 441 and the Cypress Lounge, places from Gainesville, Petty’s home town. Petty said, “They’ve got robbers and killers and shrimp boat captains and guitar thieves in there,” a sly reference to the recent theft of some of his guitars during tour rehearsals (they were recently recovered). By the time they ﬁnished with “Refugee” and “Running Down a Dream,” they had put on a great show, but they added “Last Dance With Mary Jane” and the classic “American Girl” for an encore. More than 30 years after they migrated from Gainesville to California to form the classic line-up, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers proved they can still tear a joint down, even with a subdued light show and plain velvet curtain backdrop. There were no dancers, they didn’t need auto-tune, and there was no DJ ﬁlling out the sound. Just a band rocking out on guitar, bass, keyboards and drums on some of the best songs ever written. That’s all it takes.

THE BEACH BOYS

BEACH BOYS

The Beach Boys reunited recently for a big tour, including a stop at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre that was ﬁlmed for a TV special. A lot of people thought Brian Wilson would never rejoin the Beach Boys, but he hopped on board for this tour, perhaps because there is so much history for the band. Brian is related to Mike Love and Al Jardine, and guitarist David Marks’ tenure in the band was in 1962-63. Sadly, Carl Wilson and Dennis Wilson both have left this planet and could not be there to celebrate. Brian could have continued solo, performing the hits he (mostly) wrote, and the Beach Boys could have continued without him, but it was nice to see the two worlds come together.

Brian seemed mostly in another place during the show, while Mike Love and the rest were fairly chatty. But it was all about the songs, presented in two generous sets with an intermission. The classics were there; the car songs (“Little Deuce Coupe,” “Fun Fun Fun,” “409”), the surfing songs (“Surfer Girl,” Surfin’ USA,” Surfin’ Safari), the beach songs (“California Girls,” “Kokomo”) and other classics like “Barbara Ann,” “Be True to Your School” (which prominently featured the Gator logo on the video screen behind the band) and “Help Me Rhonda.” The band, augmented with 10 musicians to fill out the intricacies of the music, was great and my

favorites were the more lush songs like “In My Room,” “Heroes and Villains,” “Sloop John B” and “Good Vibrations.” There was also an interesting new arrangement for “Why Do Fools Fall In Love,” covers of “California Dreaming” and “Then I Kissed Her,” and “That’s Why God Made the Radio,” a new song. It was more than two hours of great music—music that takes you away and takes you inside yourself, covering 50 years of Beach Boys hits in 43 songs. It is nostalgic, and perhaps a yearning for better times that seem to have left us, but it was still a great way to spend the evening.

WILCO Wilco is one of the tightest bands around, and their show at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre was one of the best shows of the year, showing a band that is ﬁring in precision harmony. I’ve seen bands blow the roof off a venue ﬁguratively, but this night Wilco blew out the power literally during “A Shot in the Arm.” The speakers went silent as everything went dark. But still, Glenn Kotche pounded away on the drums as the power slowly returned. The production was simple yet

effective. Pieces of cloth were hanging from ceiling to ﬂoor, with lanterns hidden in the textures. Lights made the cloth change colors and morph. Tweedy chatted fairly often, joking about the weather and bugs in the area. The setlist featured six songs from Wilco’s eighth album The Whole Love, plus 16 classics. Wilco seems to operate as a single soul. Jeff Tweedy’s lyrics are interesting and his delivery seems always to be perfect for the song. Kotche brings intriguing

percussion while keeping a steady beat with bassist John Stirrat; Mikael Jorgensen adds keyboards that sometimes texturalize the songs from whispers to screams. Every time Nels Cline attacked his guitar, the fans were transﬁxed as if riveted by the carnage. During “Impossible Germany” and “Born Alone,” Cline’s six-string slaughter had the fans screaming. Some of the inspiration may have ﬂowed from Duane Allman’s 1957 Les Paul that he had borrowed.

LOCAL PICK

THE ONLY PLACE BEST COAST

THE PSEUDO ★ ★ ★ ★ KIDS

The Pseudo Kids have done it again with their new four-track EP Stay Glad; somehow they pulled off a happy optimistic sound despite the darkish, introspective lyrics that dominate most of their songs. Jingly guitars, infectious melodies and quirky humor give songs with titles “Hard to Be,” “What’s Wrong With Me,” “Car Crash Blues” and “Pretend” a glossy appeal. The results are an album that will make anyone who might be feeling a little down identify with lyrics like “homesick for a home I’ve never known” while foot-tapping their way out of their own doldrums. What’s so good about the Pseudo Kids besides their catchy songs? Perhaps it’s lines like, “Somehow I pulled through; I beat my car crash blues,” to the humming of a dirge, or, “Leave it to me to make the first mistake, watching all my love turning into hate.” While perhaps it is a cliché, the more you play this EP, the more you will like it and the more you will desire additional songs. Indeed, Stay Glad is a power pop pleasure whose only shortcoming is that the listener feels its less than 20-minute duration is far too short of a diversion to indulge in after escaping from the problems of real life for a while. I’ll tell you this: When these kids finally make a full-length LP, I’ll be the first one in line to give it a listen.

You, which was comprised entirely of songs about boy drama. The Only Place ﬁnds her contemplating life, love and travel in a more grown-up manner. The band still retains their youthfulness, and a resonant uncertainty penetrates the music and lyrics. Cosentino knows she doesn’t have life ﬁgured out, and she’s mostly okay with it. That sentiment was part of the appeal of Crazy for You, and it translates well on The Only Place. Jon Brion’s touch as producer is almost completely minimized, and that’s a good thing. What they came up with makes for an excellent, enjoyable second album.

LITTLE BROKEN HEARTS

NORAH JONES

MORE ★★★★

MEXICAN SUMMER

Best Coast have really done well in the short time that they’ve been together. Main songwriters Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno began recording in 2009, and within a year their debut Crazy for You solidified the group as a main contender in indie rock. With no major label involvement, they played most of the major festivals in 2010 and made the cut on notable year-end lists. Now they are in 2012 working with master producer Jon Brion on sophomore album The Only Place. The album starts off strong with the band’s ode to California, or the “best coast.” Cosentino is noticeably experimenting with her voice, specifically vibrato, and her vocals are so much more pronounced. When she repeatedly and defiantly asks the question, “Why would you live anywhere else?” you want to consider it because she sounds like she means it. Cosentino also seems to be denouncing the reputation she made for herself on Crazy for

★★★★

BLUE NOTE

Norah Jones isn’t quite the cute, cut and dry artist that a lot of fans remember from Come Away With Me and subsequent Feels Like Home. The Fall was a divergence from that candlelit-bubblebath pop; the Brooklynite ditched her collaborators and went with a sound more in tune with the New York indie scene. Though well received by critics, it was her first not to reach No. 1. On Little Broken Hearts, Jones continues her departure from the breezy pop and pairs her new style with themes of heartbreak, but this isn’t The Fall Pt. 2. The collaborators she worked with on her last album have been replaced by producer Brian Burton (aka Danger Mouse), whose simplified and spacey rock works well with Jones’ songwriting. “Good Morning” hovers around a celestial repetition of piano keys buried beneath Jones’ guitar as she clarifies the theme from the start: “Good morning / My thoughts on leaving are back on the table / I thought you should know.” Known for playing the piano, Norah doesn’t put much focus on

the keys anymore, and you have to really listen for it. Burton gives this album a more rock sound, with louder bass and drums than fans might be used to. Clearly the work of Burton, “Say Goodbye” could have easily been a Broken Bells song, but Jones makes it work. Short and painstaking, “She’s 22” catches the singer obsessing over her ex-lover and his new love interest as she asks, “Does she make you happy?” Little Broken Hearts ends with “All a Dream,” a slow, stuttering rock number with Jones coming to terms with her dreams about her lost love. This is breakup record, and Jones wants her audience to feel it. Her least happy album, the powerfully poignant Little Broken Hearts solidiﬁes Norah Jones as more of a modern singer-songwriter.

STRANGE CLOUDS

B.O.B.

★★

ATLANTIC

B.o.B’s debut album The Adventures of Bobby Ray was an overnight success in 2010. Debuting at No. 1, the album was a perfect blend of pop and rap: fun and bubbly at times but foulmouthed and raucous at others. B.o.B was the star of the show, taking on keys and guitars, singing, rapping and producing a handful of the songs. Bobby Ray didn’t stray too far with Strange Clouds. This time around however, B.o.B’s once-perfect blend of pop and rap seems to have separated into multiple styles, resulting in an album that is aspiring but convoluted. For instance, Strange Clouds opens with the Hollywood-inspired “Bombs Away,” fully equipped with a prologue by Morgan Freeman backed by an orchestra. This epic opener is followed by the underwhelming “Ray Bands,” a typical ode to models and partying.

All in all, Strange Clouds isn’t really that strange. The songs follow the same formula as those on Adventures: rap the verse, sing the chorus and on to the next one. B.o.B’s strongest point is his lyrics. For a rapper on the pop charts, he can be insightful and thought-provoking. Lil Wayne isn’t dropping lines like, “It seems like in the grand scheme of it all / The world’s run by a few people, and we never seen them at all / How do they exist if we don’t know who they are?” If B.o.B pushed himself with the rest of his music like he seems to with his lyrics, Strange Clouds wouldn’t feel such wasted potential.

URSA MAJOR THIRD EYE BLIND

STADIUM ARCADIUM

UPLIFTER

After hits like “How’s It Going To Be” and “Losing A Whole Year,” I wasn’t sure I would ever be swept up in Third Eye Blind again. Ursa Major was a serious rebirth and is ﬁlled with upbeat anthems for a true heart and passionate soul. After hearing “Monotov’s Private Opera” on a drive, it has become my go-to song when venturing. This album has an endearing way with words and leaves you with a feeling of renewal.

If you like the sound of recalling old memories and relishing them in the brief moment of just a hint of Déjà vu, then give this two-disc discovery a listen. This package deal is filled with songs that will make you feel at home in your most vulnerable state. “Wet Sand” is sure to intercept your thoughts and fill them with a bit of underlying warmth. Holding first place in my iTunes for most played, Stadium Arcadium sooths my soul on a regular basis.

When you mix ’90s rap/ rock, a melodic ballad and funk, prepare for an out-ofbody experience. At ﬁrst, I wasn’t sure if I was feeling it, but shortly thereafter I realized the album was just taking its time to know me a little better. The songs tell a new story every time I listen. “Two Drops In The Ocean” seems to center my mind no matter what I am currently conquering. Whether rejoicing, wondering or lost in the chaos that is 311, Uplifter is sure to make you soar.

BAND PROFILE MUSIC

ailing from Santa Cruz, Calif., The Expendables are a surf/ rock four-member band. The longtime friends have been making tunes together since 1997, blending reggae, punk rock and ’80s-syle dueling guitar solos. Known for the 2005 film XXX Rated: A Year in the Life of a Santa Cruz Phenomenom, which followed the band during some of their touring, the band has enjoyed such hits as “Bowl for Two” and “Sacrifice” from their 2004 breakout album Getting Filthy. They have toured with such popular artists as 311, Less Than Jake, G. Love & Special Sauce, Kottonmouth Kings, Pepper and Slightly Stoopid. They are currently signed to Slightly Stoopid’s record company, Stoopid Records. Geoff Weers (guitar and vocals), Adam Patterson (drums and vocals), Raul Bianchi (lead guitar) and Ryan DeMars (bass) will be touring this summer and making a few stops in Florida, starting on Aug. 16 at Jannus Landing in St. Petersburg. The Expendables just released their first full-length all-acoustic album Gone Soft (their sixth) on May 15, which is essentially a rerecordings of previous songs into acoustic versions. Front man Geoff Weers took the time to discuss the process of expanding one’s musical horizons.

What made you decide to do an allacoustic album?

We just wanted to do something different. We have always been an electric band so doing it all acoustic seemed like the opposite side of the spectrum for us. It got us out of our comfort zone, which is a good thing.

s e l b the a d n e d p e Ex plugg Un eg —Gr

Did it help you to grow musically? Yeah, getting out of our comfort zone deﬁnitely helps us grow. Staying in our comfort zone means we are playing music that comes easy to us. Getting out of that pushes us to create new ideas and hone new skills.

How did that change the feel of the songs? It changed the feel of our songs a lot. For example, we re-did a punk song as a Latin tune and a punk/ska song as a country song. We also used a bunch of different instruments like mandolin, banjo, cello and violin. All that deﬁnitely made a big impact on the feel of our songs.

Do you think this new endeavor has anything to do with getting older? Sure, I guess this album has to do with us getting older. Like I said, we wanted to do something different. We have been a band for a long time now and have put out a few albums and this one changes it up. This album puts a fresh new perspective to our music and creative process. It keeps us interested and enthusiastic about our music.

How did this album evolve for you guys and what was the recording process like? This album evolved pretty dramatically. The original idea was to have it be a couple acoustics, some mics and a living room and record it over a weekend or two, but we had a hard time ﬁnding a living room, so we leased a warehouse. Then we bought some expensive acoustic guitars, then we rented some high-end mics and recording equipment and spent a couple of months recording the thing. The project took on a life of its own and ended up being

www.MYGAINESVILLERESTAURANTS.com

Allar

way more involved than the original idea. All for a good reason; we are pretty stoked on the outcome.

Do you think you guys might incorporate a little more softness into any upcoming studio albums?

I think we will probably incorporate more “softness” in our future albums. After doing this album, our ears have been opened to many more sonic possibilities. I think we will be more inclined to experiment with different instrumentation in the future because of what we have learned on this project.

When you tour, how much of the soft versions will be on the set list?

On our next tour with Unwritten Law, we are going to do a full acoustic set before our electric set. But on future tours, I’m guessing we will sprinkle in some acoustic stuff. Playing the acoustic stuff is just so much fun.

Do you think your fans, who have loved you for your electric recordings, will be cool with your burgeoning “soft side?”

I hope so. I hope our fans are open-minded and can accept music that is a bit different. Our musical tastes have expanded and it shows on our acoustic album. Hopefully, the acoustic album helps people start to like different genres of music. There is such good music out there and to like one style or genre and not like another is absurd.

I’m assuming so, but just for clariﬁcation, will you remain mostly an electric band?

We will always be an electric band. I like playing distortion too much to ditch the electric vibe.

Together they pursue their dreams during the rock music and hair band era of the 1980s.

When John’s girlfriend Lori (Mila Kunis) wants their relationship to move forward Ted gets in the way and MacFarlane gets to cut loose with the lewd humor he’s been pushing boundaries with for years in his television shows Family Guy and American Dad. If you’re a fan of Fox’s Animation Domination block then you’ll ﬁnd a lot to love in Ted.

JUNE 26

After unexpectedly losing his job, George and his wife, Linda, are forced to leave New York City and move in with George’s brother. Along the way they stop at what they think is a bed and breakfast only to ﬁnd that the hotel, Elysium, is actually a hippie commune where free love is abundant. A hilarious and wild time is about to begin for the couple.

George Valentin, a Hollywood star of the silent film era, has a troubled marriage. He meets a beautiful chorus girl named Peppy Miller and becomes infatuated with her. As sound is introduced to film, George invests all his money into one more silent film. In the meantime, Peppy blossoms into a new star of the talking pictures. This award-winning film has no dialogue and is made in black and white.

THEIR TAKE: “So many people are shot in the head, with blood spurting, that it grows numbing.” —Claudia Puig, USA Today

THEIR TAKE: “Good vibrations and sunlight ﬁll the air, and everyone wears a smile, especially while wreathed in smoke.” —Manhola Dargis, The New York Times

THEIR TAKE: “The music takes you straight out of The Artist’s world and deposits you in a San Francisco hotel room where Kim Novak is showing Jimmy Stewart her new hairdo.” —Dana Stevens, Slate

OUR TAKE: “Well, it is a war ﬁlm; they weren’t going to play cards in the battleﬁeld.”

OUR TAKE: “And we thought they were just at a Woodstock festival.”

OUR TAKE: “We forgot the ﬁlm was silent (and in black and white) and were enchanted.”

Q&A:

STAR POWER

Greta Gerwig T

his month, 28-year-old Greta Gerwig stars in what we’ve already dubbed “the hilarious break-up movie of the summer”: Lola Versus, from those who brought you 500 Days of Summer. We got to chat brieﬂy with her about the movie that will surely be a hit with any transitional 20-somethings (or just those who know them).

—Rachel Sale In the movie, Greta’s character, Lola, gets dumped by her fiancée just three weeks before their wedding; she’s faced with the murky challenge of being single and almost 30. As she tries to piece her life back together (with the help of her friends) and find a new relationship, her goal of moving on is filled with surprise turmoil. Greta has been in several other films, including Greenberg (where she played love interest to Ben Stiller), Arthur (with Russell Brand) and No Strings Attached (as Natalie Portman’s honest roommate). Greta, who studied English and philosophy at Barnard, has written and collaborated on titles like Nights and Weekends and Hannah Takes the Stairs; she got a little philosophical with us about Lola.

You’ve performed in larger mainstream films like Arthur and smaller films like Lola Versus. Does the film size change how you prepare or perform? The size of the film doesn’t effect how I prepare or perform. It’s more based on what the story is or character is, and each one differs from film to film based on the script, the filmmaker and the part versus the size of the movie. In some ways there can be similarities between big movies and little movies with the tone of the project, so I think it has more to do with that than budget size.

How easy was it to connect with the character of Lola?

It was an organic connection. I try not to play parts

that I don’t feel a pull toward. I am familiar with the feeling of being a mess or confused. But I don’t connect with her desires, like planning a wedding or being married. I do feel like her in that I should be somewhere other than where she is. I understand that.

The ﬁlm was at the Tribeca Film Festival. How was it received?

I’ve never had a film at the Tribeca Film Festival so I was excited to have a film there. I live in New York and the movie was filmed in New York and it felt very appropriate that the movie would be premiered there. My impression was that the response was good. I try not to read reviews but my feedback from the audience was that they liked it. But it’s unlikely that anyone would tell me that they hated it—so I probably have a skewed view.

MOVIES

Lights, Camera,

ACTION

It seems like summer action movies come in four types. There’s always an action-packed, mindless romp (A), a blockbuster that everyone has to see (B), a cerebral thriller (C) and something a little different (D). What’s your summer action type? Do you want to turn your brain off for two hours or watch a thinking-man’s ﬂick? Here are some suggestions.

—Jenna Lyons

Type B The Dark Knight Rises Christian Bale is back in black as Batman strives to save the city from Bane, Gotham’s newest villain. Expect to see the infamous Catwoman, played by Anne Hathaway.

Type A The Expendables 2

Type C The Bourne Legacy

Type D Lawless

If you’re in it for the action, watch Chuck Norris, Jet Li, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone and more of your favorite action heroes as The Expendables are reunited.

The Bourne universe continues with new CIA operative Aaron Cross, played by Jeremy Renner. (You might be more familiar with his archery skills as Hawkeye in The Avengers.)

Transformers’ Shia La Boeuf stars in a ﬁlm set in the Depression era. Authorities who want a slice of the proﬁts threaten a group of bootleggers in Franklin County, Virginia.

STAR POWER

CHARLIZE THERON on Playing Suit

ther than Charlize Theron pranking the press by boasting about being naked throughout her new movie (Ridley Scott’s doomsday Prometheus), the plot has been shrouded in enormous sci-fi secrecy. Rather than disclosing any hints about her role in this summer’s action-horror, Charlize–who recently premiered in Snow White and the Hunstman with Kristen Stewart–seemed to savor tossing out rapid one-liners rather than sitting down to an interview. To be fair, this lovely lanky lady did dish as much as she could about the upcoming film. Also up for discussion? Her lack of sympathy; women in truthful roles (no matter how much that scares men); and the Madonna/Whore Complex. OK, so this is what we do know: The movie is about a team of explorers who discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, and then, as you might imagine, they must fight a battle to save the race. And Charlize is a bit of a smarty-pants.

—Prairie Miller How do you feel about all the secrecy in which Prometheus has been tightly wrapped? It’s so cryptic. It’s so annoying!

Well, can you talk about the character you play?

No, I can’t. Sorry. I’m just here to be pretty. I play this lady called Meredith Vickers. She’s the suit who runs the company that has nickel-and-dimed this whole thing together to fund this mission. And initially, she really was just that. I felt like the character was just a little one-dimensional. So I got on the phone and threw very loose cannons at [coscreenwriter Damon Lindelof] and Ridley. I can’t tell you what Damon came up with, but he came up with some good shit! So Vickers starts out one thing, and ends up another thing. And with Ridley, there were many days that I showed up and he would throw me in the corner, just lurking. And then, all of a sudden, that became a character trait.

We get a really great glimpse of your character in some footage. When everyone wakes up after the two years of sleeping and they’re throwing up and getting sick, your character is doing pushups. What’s the deal?

I spoke to Ridley and we were wondering how we could maybe play more on the mystery. Otherwise she becomes a one-dimensional suit. And then Ridley came up with that idea to put me in a physical position where physically, I’m saying 10 times more than I could verbally. And when he called me with that, I thought, oh f*** yeah! That girl, that’s the girl I like. The girl who wakes up early, does the pushups and is like, “Did anybody die?” I have Ridley to thank for that. And I’m naked, the entire time!

Is that a joke, the nude thing?

I wasn’t joking! I’m an Academy Award winner. I’m serious.

Is nudity in your comfort zone?

That’s always so interesting. Look, it’s not like I f***ing love being naked. I’m totally insecure, like every other woman. But when I’m naked, I really like to do push-ups! I think I really tackle it like everything else. If you’re going to commit yourself to playing something, you have to be able

to understand it. And if you can understand it, then you can do it and go balls out with it. But I’ve never been in a position where I’ve been like, “This doesn’t feel right.” I wouldn’t do it if I felt that way. I like the shock value of being naked. I think that if you use it correctly, it’s pretty effective. As long as I’m lit really, really, really well! I don’t know how much of the comfort is where you come from or how you were raised. I was a ballerina for 12 years, and I changed backstage.

What excited you about this character?

For me, Vickers is such a different character. She’s not a believer; she’s not a scientist. She comes with this very frigid, cold, economic mind. And yet there’s something about her that’s questioning and doubting. Through her, we really explored a lot of deep shit, which was really fun. Eventually, I get to do some really fun stuff. But I don’t really get to do a lot as Vickers. I’m the suit, so I have a very fancy ofﬁce with very expensive chairs. And I boss people around, and cause a lot of red tape. In my very expensive suit. I guess there’s a lot that makes her the enigma that she is in the beginning that comes across very quintessentially suit-y. I guess like detached and cold, and that she really is just there for the sole purpose of making everybody’s life hell as suits tend to want to do!

“I think if you think too much about what the outside world is going to think, or what you people are going to think, it stifles the creativity.” 32

STAR POWER Are there any big ideas in this movie?

was regurgitated from the last job though I haven’t seen Prometheus yet; maybe it is similar. Who knows?

When the tabloids pry into your personal life, does that get to you?

Do you see the kinds of female images you do as progress for women, or a step backward?

This is a straightforward comedy.

I think if you think too much about what the outside world is going to think, or what you people are going to think, it stiﬂes the creativity. And I don’t really know how to work from there. But I do like the feeling of waking up on my own, and having this moment of, “Oh f***, I hope I can do this today.”

How do you prepare yourself for such different parts, from something like Young Adult to Prometheus? You’ve played mentally ill, delusional and loser.

Keep going! And thanks for insulting me! I’ve never been a fan of labels, you know? I think it’s very easy to look at somebody and just throw a label on them. Such as, “They’re crazy.” Or whatever. And I’m not a big fan of overly justifying bad behavior or why people are the way they are. I think that’s a copout. I don’t have a lot of empathy for that. I don’t like to go for the overly sympathetic; I don’t really like sympathy.

How so?

I don’t like to for myself. Sometimes sympathy can feel like you’re trying to victimize someone. I don’t know, maybe it’s my own business that I have to deal with. But I think more than anything, people just want to be understood, you know? Every time I start a new ﬁlm, it’s somewhat from scratch. You can’t come into a new job carrying leftovers. And I don’t think I’d ever want to do something that felt like it

I talked a lot about this when I did Monster. I think people get really freaked out when they see real womenóconﬂicted. I think women are almost way more conﬂicted than men. And I think we come from a society where we’re very comfortable with the Madonna/Whore Complex. We’re either really good hookers, or really good mothers. But we’re not bad hookers, and we’re not bad mothers. And we’re nothing in between. I think it is refreshing to kind of see that. I grew up on cinema where guys got to do that. Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman and De Niro got to play all of those kinds of characters that I saw a bit of myself in. Those kinds of struggles and the lurking dark-y things, you know? It’s very rare to see women like that. We are those honest characters that women are getting to play. And when people tell me, “Oh that’s so brave.” It really isn’t. It’s just refreshing. And it’s so great as an actress to get the opportunity to do something that’s incredibly truthful. It’s been really, really, nice.

Are you anything now like who you were in high school?

I actually got the mean girl stuff out of me. I really experienced that stuff from the ages of seven to 12. I was pretty much a mess after primary school. There was a really, really popular girl in my school, and I was obsessed with her. I mean, you’d go to jail for that stuff today! I’m so embarrassed; I was actually in tears one day because

I couldn’t sit next to her. Yeah, I have issues! But I got that out of my system, so by the time I went to high school, I was more immune to all of that stuff. I wasn’t really in the popular crowd. I went to art school, where I was kind of obsessed with ballet. And I wore really, really nerdy glasses. I was blind as could be! And boys don’t really like big nerdy glasses. Not so much. I had a crush. I didn’t really have boyfriends, but I had a massive crush on this boy. The guy who interviewed me for Vogue actually went and found him. And this guy from school, by the way, didn’t know that I existed then. And he was saying, “Yeah, tell her the crush was mutual.” F*** that! The crush was so not mutual. And he was like, “Oh, I remember she wore those glasses.” Ewww!

Do you get obsessed with directors too?

Yeah, Jason Reitman! Up In The Air got me hooked on him. Jason taps into things emotionally, the same way I do. So, that’s all I can think of right now, fresh off my mind. Him and Fellini. That will make me sound smarter!

How did you spend those couple of years when you weren’t working? On my couch! Potato chips! Unemployed. No, it sounds like it was like that, but I was actually working on my production company. So creatively, I wasn’t feeling like I wasn’t doing anything. I just wasn’t in front of the camera.

How do you feel about rehearsals and table-reads?

I hate it! I break out in hives! I hate to read words out loud. When [Young Adult director] Jason made us do a table-read at his house, this f***er, I was like, “You’re kidding me. Are we gonna do this now? All right, bitch. Let’s go!”

I don’t think it matters as much what swimsuit you wear. Just enjoy yourself. —Zora, 24, student

GAINESVILLE GRUB RESTAURANT REVIEW

LAKESIDE BAR AND GRILL Let us guess: You’re looking for an elegant yet affordable dining experience, right? Try the Lakeside Bar and Grill. Located on Southwest 13th Street in the Paramount Plaza Hotel, the restaurant is close to everything but away from noise and traffic; and, as the name suggests, it is right on the edge of a lake (who knew?). We got a chance to try the Lakeside Bar and Grill just in time to try an updated menu from new chef Daniel Gomez. We enjoyed classic dishes with trendy, fresh ingredients. Text and photo by Gina Chitko UPDATED CLASSICS The menu is sophisticated; Daniel added filet mignon and steamed lobster—traditional but with a twist. For example, he has a different way of preparing meatloaf: muffin tins to make individual servings for each customer. He wraps the meatloaf with bacon and finishes it with mushroom gravy and onion strings ($13). Other modernized classics? Truffle steak fries and Cajun burgers. GET THE APP Happy Hour is a must-do on Tuesdays through Fridays. For $8, customers get two drinks and access to a three-item appetizer bar. The menu changes daily; a possible menu might be mustard pork crostinis, barbecue meatballs and fried green

beans with wasabi ranch. People can mill around at the bar or outside on the balcony, which overlooks the pool and lake. Customers can also enjoy live guitar music during happy hour.

FEED YOURSELF Marinated Watermelon Steak INGREDIENTS

with Pink Peppercorn Rub

1 crosswise center-cut slice of a large watermelon, about 1½ inches thick ¾ cup light rum 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint 1 lime Coarse salt 2 tablespoons pink peppercorns, crushed 2 teaspoons sugar 2 tablespoons honey Makes 4 servings.

RECIPE Remove the green and white rind from the watermelon, and then cut crosswise into quarters to make four wedge-shaped steaks. Combine the rum, butter, and mint in a 1-gallon zipper-lock bag. Grate the zest from half of the lime into the bag then squeeze in all of the juice. Add a pinch of salt and the watermelon steaks. Press out the air, seal, and shake gently to blend. Let stand at warm room temperature (at least 72ºF) for 1 to 2 hours. Light a grill for indirect medium heat, about 350ºF. Combine the crushed pink peppercorns, sugar, and ¼ teaspoon

salt in a small dish. Remove the watermelon from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels; reserve the marinade. Sprinkle the rub all over the steaks. Brush the grill grate and coat with oil. Grill the watermelon directly over the heat until nicely grill-marked, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Move the watermelon away from the heat, close the lid, and cook until very tender and slightly shrunken, 30 to 40 minutes. Boil the marinade in a small saucepan until reduced to 1/3 cup, about 10 minutes. Stir in the honey and drizzle over the steaks.

GAINESVILLE GRUB RESTAURANT REVIEW

ENDZONE BAR & GRILL Every once in a while, we might forget what the University of Florida is best known for—sports. Enter sports bar EndZone Bar & Grill. Nearly everything inside Endzone is either orange or blue (or both). A timeline of Gator football helmets hangs above the doorway inside. The tables are orange, the chairs are blue and the plates are a combination of both. EndZone offers you options. Want to squeeze into a booth with your friends? Done. Want to mingle at a high-top? Done. Want free beer on Fridays? Be there from 8pm to 9pm. This restaurant may have only opened a year ago, but it feels like it’s been here for years.

Text & Photo by Katherine Kallergis

NOT JUST A RESTAURANT

The first thing we notice as we walk into EndZone is the restaurant’s perfect sports-bar layout. Fifteen flat-screen TVs line the walls. General manager Mike Campbell says EndZone is the place to be for NFL games and UFC fights. The trophy that stands to the left of the restaurant’s entrance is for winners of the Gator Cup Challenge. The challenge is to eat (something resembling) a burger: two pounds of meat, four kinds of cheese and a pile of lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and onions on a bun. Plus fries. Those who survive get a “Gator Cup Burger” T-shirt, his or her name on the trophy, and tagged on EndZone’s Facebook timeline.

NO OFF-SEASON

The menu is divided into nine sections, which can be overwhelming if you don’t

“I was shocked at how popular the salads have become,” Mike says. He recommended the fruit and berry salad ($9) and the Chinese chicken salad ($11). We ordered the latter, which included carrots, red bell peppers, onions, mandarin oranges, chow mein noodles and grilled chicken breast served on a bed of NOW ACCEPTING VEGETARIANS fresh mixed greens with dressing on the side. AND SALAD-LOVERS The fruit and berry salad is Campbell recently redesigned the menu to include options for vegetarians. Among comprised of fresh mixed greens, seasonal berries, pineapple, mandarin the eight burger platters listed are the oranges and walnuts served with a garden burger, the vegan burger and the raspberry vinaigrette dressing. black bean burger ($6 each). In the end, EndZone is nothing less A fresh salad with a great crunch is than what you would expect from probably the last thing you would expect your favorite sports bar—and a little from a sports bar, but that’s exactly what something more. we got. know what you’re in the mood for. The chicken wings, Campbell says, are by far the crowd favorite. Juicy and tender, the wings are served smothered in your choice of EndZone’s award-winning sauces including mild, hot, inferno, BBQ, garlic parm and sweet Asian plum. EndZone sauce is “a better BBQ with a kick.”

Be sure the suit ﬁts.

Guys: “The best suit for training is a Speedo because of the small amount of drag and resistance,” says Alex Martin, a four-year varsity Gator swimmer and 2012 Olympic qualifier. Alex, who has trained long hours, knows that Speedo briefs aren’t everyone’s first choice. “Beginners are probably more comfortable in trunks,” he admits. Trunks shouldn’t hang down below the knee and shouldn’t hold that much water, he advises. “Big and baggy suits are counterproductive.” Girls: Nellie Glasser just finished her sophomore season with the University of Florida. She says that one-pieces are the way to go: “Unless the two-piece is amazing, your focus might shift to keeping your suit in place.” “When you’re trying on the suit, the seams should be tight but flexible,” she says. The top and rear are particularly important. “You don’t want your top to be scooping water,” she explains. “Find a suit that fits snugly around the chest or collarbone.” For both guys and girls: types of suits and colors make statements. “Polyester suits last longer than Lycra,” Nellie says. Alex likes suits with crazy patterns and colors. “Cool designs are expressive and add character; they make swimming more fun.”

Why the cap?

Guys and girls can protect their hair, reduce drag and increase visibility by wearing a cap. Cover model Abby Garner, a student and Trigator, started using a cap for swim training and saw several beneﬁts. “At ﬁrst, the cap seemed uncomfortable and I didn’t feel like a ‘real’ swimmer, so I didn’t want to use it,” Abby says. “But I decided I’d be more aerodynamic and my hair wouldn’t get messed up so much.” Switching to a silicone cap, instead of latex, made it much more comfortable: “I don’t think my hair gets knotted or breaks as easily and I feel a lot smoother in the water.”

FEASTING ON THE TUBE —Jennette Holzworth, GHF Trainer

f you ﬁnd yourself spending time in front of the tube, odds are your diet is suffering—and not just when you’re watching your favorite shows. In addition to making people less active, a new study found that those who watch more television have poorer diets throughout the day, not just when snacking during show-time. As viewing time increased, so did the likelihood that one would eat more fast food, drink more soda and sugary beverages and skip breakfast, even after researchers controlled for other factors. An easy ﬁx is to replace just one 30 or 60 minute show with physical activity. Keep unhealthy, processed (sugary) foods out of your cabinets and replace them with fruits and veggies that will make a great, wholesome snack while you’re relaxing. Finally, don’t mindlessly snack while reclining. Control portion sizes by putting food into a bowl or plate, rather than eating straight from the bag. Small changes now make big changes tomorrow!

How do I keep my goggles clear?

Former Duke swimmer and UF PhD student Ray Kozikowski (pictured) says simplicity is key. “A little wipe on the inside when I take a break generally does the trick,” Ray says. But a multitude of swimmers (from UF, Georgia Southern, Florida Atlantic and Florida State) agree on one method of goggle-cleaning: Spit. A little spit and a quick rinse is a great (and cheap) de-fogging method. Whether you try shampoos, gels or good old saliva, remember to keep the surfaces scratch- and stain-free. Mascara can ruin visibility and scratches can shorten the life of your goggles. Remove makeup before using and when clearing them, use the soft pads of your ﬁngertips (not your nails).

What does a swim workout look like?

“Think about your technique ﬁrst,” advises Pete Knox, who has coached at the University of Kentucky, UF and currently coaches the masters program at the Gator Swim Club. “Begin with a good body position and being comfortable in the water, then start to work with different mechanisms of the stroke.” Freestyle, or “the crawl,” is the most basic. Your head, hips and feet are in a long line from the top of your head to your toes near the surface of the water. “Don’t rush your stroke; you have to be patient,” Pete says. “Breathe to opposite sides and turn your head to breathe; don’t lift it.” Pete suggests swimming sets of 50 yards (two laps in a 25-yard pool) and counting your strokes to see how many strokes are required to complete the distance. Then, as your strokes become more efﬁcient and stronger, you’ll take fewer strokes and you can then manipulate the distance that you swim and the time allotted for rest as well as your speed. “Everything is relative,” Pete says. “Even small, little improvements are good.”

Where can I train?

You’ve got your equipment and you’re ready to rock—but then you realize that the hot tub is not going to contain your swimming enthusiasm. Here are some options. Students: • Florida Pool • O’Connell Center Pool

Community: • Gainesville Health & Fitness’s Main Center • Dwight H. Hunter “North East” Pool • H. Spurgeon Cherry “West Side” Pool • Andrew R. Mickle, Sr. Pool

EVER PLAY VIDEO GAMES BEFORE?

YOU’RE AN RPGER The thrill of slaying dragons and demons invades your mind like a Justin Bieber track when you’re in the shower. You should start off by playing one of the early Final Fantasy games, Diablo 3, or World of Warcraft.

REALLY? NOT EVEN MARIO? Mushrooms scare me

I’m game!

Yes! I admit it!

Meh

No interest

Fast is fun

I think so

TOO SIMPLE, OR TOO SLOW?

Childsplay That’ll do, pig

3D is for chumps. Side scrollers keep the action light and the good times rolling, which makes them a great genre to begin a gaming hobby. Jump into the living room and turn on Little Big Planet or one of the multitude of Mario games.

ALIENS AND REALLY BIG GUNS?

No, thanks

Engage in massive three-way space battles, share a weekend with cyber-friends in a digital mansion or build your own digital theme park. races against one another. Gaming lets you do the things you always wanted to spend your weekends doing, but never found the time or the incredible amounts of money needed to make them a reality. For more competitive fun, try Starcraft 2. If you just want to kill osme time, grab one of the many versions of The Sims.

Move slowpoke, get out of the way! You have a need for speed and a craving for a ﬁrst place ﬁnish. Racing games are quick and easy to jump into, but as deep and complex as you want to make them. Strap yourself into a copy of Mario Kart 7 or Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit.

Your brain can unlock any crossword, riddle, or Lost television episode, no sweat, and you relish it. Puzzle games make players really concentrate on what they’re doing, and reward big thinkers over quick thumb users. Solve titles like Myst, Bejeweled, and Super Monkey Ball 3D.

YOU KNOW WHAT GOES WELL WITH MONEY & TIME?

DRAGONS!

DO YOU PLAY SUDOKU?

Duh

Yep

HOW DOES 150 MPH SOUND? Too slow

They’re okay, I guess

LET’S GO GATORS!

YOU’RE A PUZZLER

No money

GOT SOME NOW?

Lame

Too simple

Touchdown, home run, or goal, it’s all the same to you as long as the fans are cheering and your team is winning. Go to your local shop and pick up NCAA ’12, Madden ’12, or for retro fun, download NBA Jam.

No time

nope

YOU’RE A JOCK

Army? What army? Pick up the nearest plasma cannon and you’re ready to face down all manner of ill-tempered visitors. Shooting games gift players with intense, head-to-head action and tons of competition. Lock and load with Battleﬁeld 3, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, or for more sci-ﬁ fun, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine.

SCHEDULES SUCK. GOT TIME NOW? Yep

YOU CAN’T FOOL US. WAS IT FUN? WHAT’S YOUR OPINION ON FOOTBALL?

WHY’D YOU STOP?

Yes

I don’t have time for this.

Well, maybe a little

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS JUST SAY KNOW

FLORIDA’S

STAND YOUR GROUND LAW

ecently, there has been much discussion, media attention and heated public debate over Florida’s laws addressing claims of self defense. The “Stand Your Ground” law, as it has come to be known, achieved national attention as a result of a shooting that resulted in the death of a young man in Sanford. Despite being the law in this state since 2005, the public has now become interested. Due to scrutiny of the case and the law, the law is being reevaluated.

BACKGROUND

Florida has long recognized and allowed someone to raise a claim of justifiable use of force as an affirmative defense at trial under certain specific factual circumstances. The statutory change in 2005 further allowed such an individual, who was making a claim they acted in self-defense, to request a pretrial hearing to determine if they should be declared immune from prosecution and thus avoid trial.

By Craig DeThomasis

establishing beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant did not act in self-defense.

PERSPECTIVE

The current law related to self-defense is based on the premise that a law-abiding person who is wrongfully attacked, and who reasonably believes such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to themselves or another person, can act in defense of themselves or another person without risk of being arrested, charged and/ or convicted for any crime. Additionally, the current law protects such a person from civil suit. While the tragedy of the loss of life is not left unrecognized by the current law, the tragedy associated with wrongful conviction is avoided.

Have a blast at Lady Pearl’s Cabaret Thursdays and Fridays at the University Club. Enjoy the great music, fun outﬁts, and a good time with friends while slurping $1 jelly shots.

REASONABLENESS

In all cases involving a claim of selfdefense, the speciﬁc facts and surrounding circumstances are the most important factors when determining whether the use of force was lawful or not. Juries are instructed to judge the person who claims self-defense by the circumstances by which they were confronted. The appearance of danger

IN SIMPLE TERMS, AN INDIVIDUAL DOES NOT HAVE ANY DUTY TO RETREAT IF THEY ARE ATTACKED IN THEIR OWN HOME. Another statutory change was the modiﬁcation of the historical concept of the “castle doctrine.” In simple terms, an individual does not have any duty to retreat if they are attacked in their own home. Prior to the 2005 change, a person who was not in their home had a duty to retreat prior to resorting to the use of force, unless by doing so they placed themselves in greater danger. Since 2005, if you are not engaged in any unlawful activity and you are in a place you have a lawful right to be, you do not have a duty to retreat prior to use of force necessary to defend yourself against an attack being committed upon you.

IMMUNITY

Prior to trial, a person claiming selfdefense can request a hearing before the presiding judge to determine if there is a preponderance of evidence to establish that they acted lawfully. It is the defendant’s burden to establish they are entitled to immunity. If the defendant is unsuccessful, the case can proceed to a jury trial. Once at trial, the state will have the burden of

must be judged from the perspective of a reasonably cautious person and if force was used, the person must have believed the danger was real.

TASK FORCE APPOINTED

In April, Governor Rick Scott appointed 17 members to a Task Force on Citizen’s Safety and Protection to broadly evaluate Florida’s criminal laws, including the “Stand Your Ground” law, and to provide recommendations to the state legislature before its next session. The committee is chaired by Lt. Governor Jennifer Carroll and includes members of the law enforcement community, lawyers and legislators. Craig C. DeThomasis is a partner at DeThomasis & Buchanan, P.A., and has been an adjunct professor/lecturer at the University of Florida College of Law since 1990. He has been representing individuals accused of crime since 1983. He can be reached at reasonabledoubt.org. As always, he welcomes input from readers regarding issues of concern to you.
