5 great things to do this week

#1

Bee Gees TriBuTe

Stayin’ Alive, a Bee Gees tribute act, performs at Party on the Patio at Mohegan Sun Pocono, 1280 Highway 315, Plains Twp., on Thursday, Aug. 24.

#2 Donny & Marie

Beloved brother-and-sister entertainers Donny and Marie Osmond bring their latest tour to Wilkes-Barre on Thursday, Aug. 24. Doors open at 6 p.m. at F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts, and the show starts at 7:30.

The siblings gained a loyal following decades ago thanks to their television specials and hit songs that include “A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock ‘n Roll,” “Paper Roses,” “Puppy Love” and “It Takes Two.” For many years, the Osmonds have entertained crowds as resident performers at the Flamingo hotel and casino in Las Vegas, and they continue to tour around the world.

Tickets are $66, $86 and $122, plus fees, and available at the box office, kirbycenter.org and 570-826-1100.

There is no cover for the 21-and-older show on the outdoor patio. Doors open at 6 p.m. with hour-long sets at 7:30 and again at 9.

The Canada-based vocal trio and accompanying studio musicians perform all of the Bee Gees’ greatest hits, including “Night Fever,” “How Deep Is Your Love” and “To Love Somebody.” The group has performed globally with large orchestras at major venues and as a six-piece band for more intimate shows.

EMPTY BOTTLES ZinfandEL, rOSé TOP divErSE LiST Of BarBEcuE PairingS When people ask, “What wine goes with barbecue?” they miss the point.

It depends on what you are barbecuing. You can cook up just about anything on the grill, and the range of wine that could pair with grilled food is similarly diverse.

Zesty, spicy and rambunctious, zinfandel is a barbecue favorite, an all-American good grab even at rock-bottom prices. Zinfandel’s spicy, bold character matches best with saucy ribs, or red meat with hearty dry rubs.

Zinfandel gets interesting in conscientious hands, andoften at higher prices. Some producers take great pride in a more refined zinfandel. One of them is Chateau Montelena, a storied winery in the Calistoga region of northern Napa Valley, a hotter area ideal for zinfandel.

The smell of Chateau Montelena Calistoga 2014 Zinfandel is more subtle than most zins but with characteristic wild berry and cedar notes. The wine is medium-bodied and smooth with bramble and black cherry, hints of caramel and a balance tannins and acids to wrap things up. This is a special order in Pennsylvania at $32. ★★★★ For something similar you may find on store shelves, try Seghesio, Ridge or the upper-end Ravenswood. Also, you can look for zins from Napa Valley or Russian River Valley.

We are lucky to have so many types of rosé on the market. Like pumpkin beer, they are increasingly found year-round. But the refreshing

rosé is particularly pleasing in summer. It comes in a range, so if you want one that pairs with grilled food, you are better off looking for one that is less fruity and sweet. Save the fun, fruity ones for the porch or pool.

The French region of Tavel is a cradle of rosé, and those tend to be dry. Domaine des Carteresses 2015 Tavel shows more subtle fruit and is drier. The wine is coy in the nose but shows watermelon and mineral character with a crisp finish. Well worth a try at $11, it’s a deal for Tavel but is sort of average for a Tavel as well. ★★★1/2 If you cook lightly seasoned or unseasoned red meats, you can fall back on America’s best-selling red wine, cabernet sauvignon.

I recently tried the familiar Geyser Peak Winery 2013 California Cabernet Sauvignon, which turned out to be a passable choice for parties or get-togethers with standard burgers. Two steps above box wine, Geyser Peak throws off some vegetal and medicinal smells.

SOUNDS TOUGHEN UP

LORDE — ‘Melodrama’ THE GOOD: New Zealand pop sensation Lorde comes back after a long hiatus with an ambitious sophomore effort.

THE BAD: Nope. “Melodrama” was worth the wait.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Whether the 20-year-old ever shakes up the mainstream again with a song as big as “Royals” is irrelevant. Lorde now has two solid albums under her belt, and “Melodrama” proves she can run with a concept as well. Teaming up with Jack Antonoff (Fun., Bleachers) and a bevy of other producers, Lorde offers a record that embraces solitude.

FEIST — ‘Pleasure’ FEIST — ‘Pleasure’ THE GOOD: Canadian singer/songwriter Feist returns with her fifth album and first in six years.

THE BAD: Depends upon your expectations.

Those craving another breezy pop gem like “1 2 3 4” aren’t going to get it.

THE NITTY GRITTY: “Pleasure” is a raw, intimate affair built with stripped-down arrange-

Lorde wrote the songs during a time of upheaval many people her age experience.

She broke up with a longtime boyfriend and later moved out of her parents’ house. Inspiration came from being really “alone” for the first time.

From the beat-heavy breakup of “Green Light” to the intimate revelations spread throughout “Liability” to the emotional intensity coloring “Supercut,” the album paints a vivid picture of turmoil and growth. It’s musically multifaceted, too, ranging from banging electronics to reserved ballads.

BUY IT?: Yes. ments. Feist confronts her inner demons while getting reacquainted with bare-bones indie rock, modern folk and even a touch of the blues.

One can detect echoes of P.J. Harvey across the “plugged-in” moments and strains of Cat Power during the quieter bits. “Pleasure,” however, is distinctly Feist. Even when she sounds defeated, her warm voice is unmistakable and her breathy, unassuming delivery always welcome.

This time, that voice is accompanied by ghostly harmonies, spontaneous guitar, distinct bits of keyboard that sound either majestic or playful, rudimentary drumbeats and lo-fi atmospherics stolen from the world outside. The end result sounds very impulsive at first, but repeat listens bring out the songs’ deliberate brilliance.

BUY IT?: Surely.

SHERYL CROW — ‘Be Myself’ THE GOOD: On her 10th set, singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow revisits her ’90s rock heyday.

THE BAD: No big problems.

Myself” finds Crow bringing back producer Jeff Trott, whom she worked with during the ’90s and early 2000s. So that slight country detour taken on 2013’s “Feels Like Home” (which wasn’t all that genuine anyway) has been abandoned. Although, those still craving a little Southern swagger will find it on the charming “Rest of Me.” For the most part, “Myself” is a down-to-earth, gutsy, guitar-fueled Crow album in the tradition of her self-titled effort (1996) and “The Globe Sessions” (1998).

Yeah, we’ve been here before. But when the woman turns on her self-assured attitude, it’s tough to resist that confident voice belting out those slick melodies.

Pick any track — the flirtatious “Roller Skate”; the melancholy “Strangers Again”; the lowburning, infectious “Alone in the Dark” — they’re all good. Crow doesn’t break new ground on “Be Myself,” but she does deliver the pop/rock goods.

BUY IT?: Why not?

LifELoNg LovE of music drivEs foLk rockEr forWArd

BY Samantha Stanich Staff Writer

Katie Hearity, better known as k8, can’t remember her life without music.

“Born making music,” as she described it, Hearity has always strummed the guitar, played the piano or sang “into anything that remotely resembled a microphone.” Today, the singer/ songwriter has only begun to make her musical mark on Northeast Pennsylvania and wants everyone to hear her voice. And as her song “Shadows and Smoke” goes, “in the dark in the corner, if you listen real close, you might hear the sound of a song.”

Q: a:

What do you remember about the first time you performed in public?

I sang a solo in “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” when I was 6 or 7, I think. I loved it and wanted more but was also kind of shy and awkward about it at first. Even so, I knew it was what I was meant to do in life.

Q: a:

How did you come up with your band name?

I was just a kid when I figured out that “Kate” could be “k8.” I was playing one of my favorite Nintendo games at the time, “Skate or Die!,” and I saw some graffiti on one of the walls that said “sk8.” I dropped the “s,” and the rest is history. I still get a lot of people calling me “kay-eight” or “k dash eight,” but everyone gets it when it’s on a license plate.

It’s just Kate.

Q: a:

What is the process like for writing your music?

For me, every song kind of has its own process. Sometimes I have an idea for the concept of the song first; sometimes I have one lyric that I really like and then build on it from there. Other times, I have the vocal line first. There are parts of the process that are always the same, too. For example, once I have a line or two written, I run through them on repeat until I work out the next line, and the line after that, and so forth.

kate Hearity, aka k8, performs on stage during “music, motors and more on the mountain” at the Pavilion on montage mountain in 2013.

Q: a:

How have you changed as a musician over the years?

I like to think I’m a much better songwriter after all this time and experience. Most importantly, though, I’ve learned how lucky I am to get to make music, and I’m finally having fun with it again. Early on in my career, I found myself always chasing the approval of others — managers, lawyers, record labels, clubs. That can really muddy the water over time and make you forget the reason you started playing in the first place. I do it now because I love it, because it’s my true purpose in life. Having that perspective is everything.

When the crowd can sense you love what you’re doing, they will love what you’re doing too. It’s contagious.

Q: a:

What are some of your favorite memories as a musician?

I may have too many to fit in this interview. Some highlights include the time I played the keyboards in Clove; the Concert for Karen/Concert for a Cause events; the release party for my first record, “Something Out of Nothing,” in 2004; hearing those songs on the radio for the first time; recording the Days Inn jingle with Bret Alexander and Paul

Smith at Saturation Acres; and, most recently, opening for Angaleena Presley at the Kirby Center.

Q: a:

How has the NEPA music scene changed over the years?

There have been a lot of changes. I might be dating myself here, but I remember when every club had a stage, sound and light system and a house sound technician. Back then, when you went to a club (or) to see a band play in NEPA, it was like going to a full-blown concert. It seems like a lot of that has faded out in favor of the DJ or acoustic solo/duo projects. There’s still a ton of talent in this area.

There are great musicians, singers, songwriters, bands, producers, studios. We still have it all — we just need the people to keep coming out and supporting it.

Q: a:

Who has influenced you over the years?

Very early on, I remember country music such as Elvis, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Barbra Mandrell, then, as most ’80s kids did, I slid over to pop music like Michael Jackson, Debbie Gibson and, later, Mariah Carey. When I went to college, I really got into

more singer/songwriter, folk rock stuff. The Indigo Girls are undoubtedly one of my biggest influences. A lot of people tell me they can hear it in my music. I really love Kacey Musgraves, Brandi Carlile, Haim and Clare Bowen right now, too. I listen to a lot of different stuff, but anything with a good hook usually does it for me.

Q: a:

What is the biggest challenge you have to face?

I think my biggest challenge is maintaining the business side of being a musician. Of course, I’d much rather be writing or performing all the time, but you have to book shows and studio dates, update your website, try to stay relevant in social media and track all of your income/expenses for taxes. The business stuff can be a lot.

Q: a:

What are your future goals for music?

At this point in my career, I want to continue performing and really hone in on my songwriting. I’d love to write a song that got picked up by a major artist somewhere along the way. That would be pretty cool. For me, my very favorite thing has always been the songwriting.

in the name of “accidentally” meeting Taylor, it doesn’t take long for Ingrid and Taylor to become besties.

(And why not? Yes, Ingrid is an internet stalker, but Taylor doesn’t know that. Besides, Taylor herself is Fake News. Little wonder she’d gravitate to someone like Ingrid, who does nothing but praise her and validate her life.)

I loved Ingrid’s relationship with her landlord, Dan (O’Shea Jackson Jr.), who is at least as delusional as Ingrid, given his wildly unsubstantiated belief he’s writing the next “Batman” movie. But for all of Dan’s goofiness, at least he’s a real human being who will be there for Ingrid when she needs him.

Aubrey Plaza is a sensation as Ingrid, who is alternately charming and sad and pathetic and absolutely insane. Plaza has a unique and magnetic screen presence that creates great empathy, even when she’s portraying a mostly off-putting character.

Director and co-writer Matt Spicer displays just the right touch as the story gets crazier. We never lose sight of Ingrid’s stalker ways and her unbalanced state, but Taylor and Ezra and Taylor’s brother, Nicky (Billy Magnussen), and their so-called friends are such vapid, self-obsessed social media vampires, we stay on Ingrid’s side.

Because at least Ingrid has a soul.

Brigsby Bear: Kyle Mooney from “Saturday Night Live” stars as a man in his 20s devoted to an old Saturday morning children’s show. A little too precious by half at times, “Brigsby” wins the day thanks in large part to the sharp and original screenplay, and the uniformly fine work from an interesting cast including Mark Hamill, Michaela Watkins and Greg Kinnear. Rated PG-13 for thematic elements, brief sexuality, drug material and teen partying. 97 minutes. ★★★

“Detroit” is a searing, pulse-pounding, shocking and deeply effective dramatic interpretation of events in and around the Algiers Motel, where police tortured, abused and assaulted a dozen “suspects,” murdering three of them.

SMALL SCREENS

“The Circle” Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (Superhero adventure, PG-13, 136 m., 2017). Like many a sequel to a slam-bang, much-liked mega-hit, the second adventure of the universe-saviors isn’t quite as much fun, not quite as clever, not quite as fresh as the original, but it still packs a bright and shiny and sweet punch. Rating: ★★★ Everything, Everything (Romantic drama, PG-13, 96 m., 2017). This story of a teen boy falling for a girl trapped inside because of an autoimmune disease is spun in such a way we’re

constantly thinking, “OK, wait a minute.” The characters are thinly drawn, and their reactions are out of tune with what we would expect from actual human beings. Rating: ★ Alien: Covenant (Sci-fi horror, R, 123 m., 2017). At its core, this thriller about an emergency on a colonizing spaceship is a glorified monster movie, with some great “gotcha!” scare moments. After the original “Alien” and sequel “Aliens,” it’s the third best “Alien” movie.

Rating: ★★★ Snatched (Comedy, R, 91 m., 2017). When

Goldie Hawn and Amy Schumer are playing verbal tennis as mother and daughter, trading passive-aggressive criticism along with genuinely affectionate observations, it’s an absolute delight to witness. When they’re slogging through the jungle later, we find ourselves wishing they had a stronger script. Rating: ★★.

King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword (Action adventure, PG-13, 126 m., 2017). Director Guy Ritchie spins the King Arthur legend as a superhero origins story, with our man (Charlie Hunnam) resisting the calling for as long as possible and then finally accepting his destiny to unseat the ruthless King Vortigern (Jude Law).

In its finest moments, “King Arthur” is clever and exhilarating, but at its low points, it plays like a cheesy B-movie. Rating: ★★★.

The Circle (Sci-fi drama, PG-13, 110 m., 2017). Emma Watson and Tom Hanks star in a cautionary Big Brother cyber thriller touching on themes explored many times before in films that were not this smug or condescending or muddled or inconsistent. One of the most

crashing letdowns of 2017. Rating: ★1/2.

Gifted (Drama, PG-13, 101 m., 2017). A wealthy woman learns her granddaughter is a math prodigy and tries to wrest custody away from the girl’s working-class uncle (Chris Evans). It can be too sentimental and builds to a routine courtroom battle, but I wasn’t much bothered by any of that because I cared so much about the characters. Rating: ★★★★.

Ghost in the Shell (Sci-fi fantasy, PG-13, 106 m., 2917). Scarlett Johansson is in full badass mode as a cyborg equipped with the brain of a badly injured terrorism victim. Just about every scene is a visual wonder to behold, but the plot machinations and the action in the foreground are largely of the ho-hum retread variety. Rating: ★★1/2 GRADE: ★★★★ Excellent, ★★★ Good, ★★ Fair, ★ Poor.

UP CLOSE & PERSONAL

WITH ALAN K. STOUT

Jessica Meoni is the art director at SUNY Broome Community College, Binghamton, New York, and an event coordinator in the Scranton area who had previously worked as a graphic designer at Marywood University. Meoni is a graduate of West Scranton High School and Marywood, where she received bachelor’s and master’s degrees and studied graphic design, art history, world history, publications and print-making. She lives in West Scranton.

Meet Jessica Meoni…

When did you first discover that you had an interest in graphic design?

In high school, though my high school didn’t actually have a graphic design program. I took art and things like that, but it was really traditional. I did a lot of painting. It didn’t really hit me until my senior year, when I was trying to seriously think about what I wanted to do. A representative from a college came to our school and told me, “If you go to a supermarket, and you go down any aisle, you’ll see everything that has to be designed. The store signage. The cereal boxes. The soup cans.” It’s kind of funny, because it’s right in front of your face, and you didn’t realize it. So I thought I would go toward commercial art. I didn’t really have any computer art classes, so I self-trained and figured out how to do some things. And when I went to Marywood, I learned a lot more.

So, you’ve now been doing it for a long time.

It’s about 10 years now. I do freelance graphic design, social media and publicity. I help a few local businesses make their promotional flyers and pretty much anything they need. It’s a personal business that I run. Even as I was starting, in high school, I would run downtown and go into businesses and ask if they needed a flyer or a business card, because I knew I needed to build my portfolio even to get in to college.

I really didn’t have anything other than traditional art, and I knew I needed some good print pieces and maybe even some web stuff. I was doing all of this work pro bono, because they judged you on your portfolio, and if I didn’t have anything, I wasn’t going to get into school.

So, even as a teenager, you really hustled. After 10 years, what do you still enjoy about it?

24 A u g u s t 2 4 , 2 0 1 7

I just love the ability to communicate with images in the best way possible and just create something really eye-catching. I also like communicating with a client about the best way that they can make their look be super distinct from other places, in a business sense, with a more creative graphic design. Take shapes, for instance. As a graphic designer, I don’t always look at typography and fonts as typography and fonts. I look at them as shapes. And you can play around with them on a canvas or an art board and just turn it into art.

You can set a mood and set a theme.

Can you tell us a little about your work as an event coordinator?

I like providing things for Scranton to do, and they are usually music- and art-based. One is Grrrls Night, which are sporadically run events featuring an all-female lineup of musicians, comedians and poets.

These are held at Ale Mary’s, and the next one is Sept.

15. Another is Hallowfest, which is usually held at Nay Aug Park. It’s a Halloween-themed music festival featuring several different local acts as well as vendors.

This year’s festival will actually be held at the Irish Wolf Pub on Oct. 27. We usually have a variety of punk and metal bands play. And another is the Scranton Zine Fest, which is a celebration of handmade publications and artwork. People come in from the tri-state area as well as from NEPA. It occurs every June, and next year will be our eighth year.

What do you enjoy in your free time?

I manage a local metal band, Earthmouth, and make promotional material for them, like shirts and patches. And I do that for a lot of the local bands.

My long-term goal is to create a design studio that provides band merchandise for local bands. Growing up here, the music scene was super important to me. Venues that allowed the under-21 (crowd) really shaped my outlook, and my parents were really musical people, too.

Who are some of your all-time favorite musical artists?

Joy Division, the Smiths, the Adicts, the Ramones, the Misfits, Bauhaus, Van Halen and Pink Floyd. Typically, I like ’60s and ’70s type of stuff. Back in the ’80s, my uncle was also in a local band, so I’ve also grown up around hair metal.

There’s so much I love. The small-business culture, and how people really try to start things. I get inspired when people try, on their own, to do things.

I like that new bands are always being formed and trying to put on shows for young people. Once, in high school, I did a project on all of the different architecture in Scranton. I love the history.

All-time favorite movie?

“Sybil ” and “Annie Hall.”

All-time favorite TV show?

“Seinfeld.”

Guilty pleasure?

Gin and tonic. But I’m not guilty about it. (Laughs) Is there anything about you that might surprise people?

I have social anxiety. I don’t have a problem with public speaking or anything like that, but I do get really nervous about being in crowds. It’s claustrophobic type stuff. I get a little antsy and want to get out of there.

Who, if anyone, helped guide you toward a career in art and graphic design?

Favorite book or author?

I was really touched by my art teacher from middle school, Robert Boland, who passed away a few years ago. He was actually my mom’s art teacher, too.

He was such an eccentric character and was really compassionate, and he always told me I was going to go far. There was a certain sincerity to him. He really had an impact on me, and often, at my daily job, I think about him.

William Faulkner and Willa Cather.

FULL STEAM AHEAD

Train-related activities abound during Labor Day weekend

T

BY caitLin hEanEY WESt STAFF WRITER

om Nemeth’s mom used to tell him how he’d peer over the side of his baby carriage to watch a passing train.

He outgrew the carriage but not his interest in railroading.

Next weekend, the editor and publisher of Railpace magazine serves as grand marshal for Railfest, Steamtown National Historic Site’s annual celebration of railroading. He felt flattered when he learned of the honor a few weeks ago, knowing past g rand marshals include railroad presidents and late businessman Albert Boscov.

Jason Farmer / sTaFF PhoTograPher

Railroad enthusiasts travel to Moscow during the annual Railfest celebration last year.

From page 26

“I was rather surprised and kind of honored, because it was like, ‘Me? What did I ever do for Steamtown that merited that?’” said Nemeth, a retired packaging engineer who lives in Greentown.

In 1982, he and two friends started Railpace just for fun, focusing on prototype railroading in the Northeast. Nemeth estimated the monthly publication has about 6,000 readers, although it had a bigger audience during the heyday of hobby shops.

As part of Railfest, which takes place Saturday, Sept. 2 and Sunday, Sept. 3, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the historic site, Lackawanna Avenue and Cliff Street, Scranton, Nemeth will share some of his photographs of Steamtown. They range from past Railfests to visiting trains to the attraction’s move from Vermont to Scranton in 1984. Nemeth also will participate in Saturday’s 10 a.m. ceremony to open Railfest, which this year has the theme “Transition from Steam to Diesel.”

But railroad fans can start the celebration early with oth-

er train-related activities in the area.

On Thursday, Aug. 31, at 7 p.m., Lackawanna HisNEMETh torical Society will present two railroading movies — “Unstoppable” and “Under Siege 2: Dark Territory” — at Circle Drive-In, 1911 Scranton-Carbondale Highway, Dickson City. Admission is $7.

The next night, in conjunction with Scranton’s First Friday Art Walk, the Johnny Cash Experience featuring David Stone will give a free concert from 7:30 to 9 p.m. in Steamtown’s theater. Stone will return for Railfest, performing both days as the site demonstrates the “ring of fire,” a method of replacing locomotive tires using flame.

Other special programs and activities at Steamtown include a World War I presentation, exhibits by Dennis Livesly and Mark Perry, and rides on specialty cars in the rail yard.

Steamtown also will run a diesel-driven excursion to Moscow from 12:30 to 3 p.m.; tickets pric-

es vary and include park admission.

Additionally, guests can meet “Miss Phoebe Snow,” hear folk music by singer Jay Smar, see demonstrations and check out a 1925 Whitcomb gasoline-powered locomotive.

Children’s attractions, meanwhile, include rides on a 1/8-inch-scale steam train, a photo booth, magicians and train layouts.

“Folks who live in New Jersey may ride trains into and from work each day and see them out there, but they can’t get close to them,” Steamtown spokesman Bill Nalevanko said. “Here, you can get up close and personal to see not only the equipment but (also) meet with people who actually run the equipment. It’s a great opportunity for families, too, to experience downtown Scranton.”

On Saturday, the Lackawanna & Wyoming Valley Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society will hold a night photography session for up to 75 people to take pictures of three railroad scenes lit and staged by Steve Barry of Railfan & Railroad Magazine. Orientation starts at 7:15 p.m. with photos from 8 to

10. Tickets are $25, available at project3713.com.

Railfest makes up just part of a busy weekend in the city.

Across the Steamtown parking lot, Electric City Trolley Museum will run additional trolley trips along the Laurel Line. A free County of Lackawanna Transit System shuttle will move visitors among Steamtown; the Scranton Iron Furnaces, 159 Cedar Ave.; and La Festa Italiana on Lackawanna County Courthouse Square during Steamtown’s hours.

Nemeth looks forward to meeting a lot of people at Railfest.

“You see some people you do know,” he said. “It’s a nice venue to get together with friends and people you haven’t seen in a long time, because a lot of rail enthusiasts go there.”

Nalevanko said people enjoy doing something over the last summer holiday weekend, which has turned Railfest into one of the park’s biggest events.

“Come, bring the family and have a great time,” he said.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Welcome to Swami Moonflower’s Psychic Hygiene Hints. Ready for some mystical cleansing? Hint 1: To remove stains on your attitude, use a blend of chardonnay wine, tears from a cathartic crying session and dew collected before dawn. Hint 2: To eliminate glitches in your love life, polish your erogenous zones with pomegranate juice while you visualize the goddess kissing your cheek. Hint 3: To get rid of splotches on your halo, place angel food cake on your head for two minutes, then bury the cake in holy ground while chanting, “It’s not my fault! My evil twin’s a jerk!” Hint 4: To banish the imaginary monkey on your back, whip your shoulders with a long silk ribbon until the monkey runs away. Hint 5: To purge negative money karma, burn a dollar bill in the flame of a green candle.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A reader named Kameel Hawa wrote that he “prefers pleasure to leisure and leisure to luxury.” That list of priorities would be excellent for you to adopt during the coming weeks. My analysis of the astrological omens suggests that you will be the recipient of extra amounts of permission, relief, approval and ease. I won’t be surprised if you come into possession of a fresh X-factor or wild card. In my opinion, to seek luxury would be a banal waste of such precious blessings. You’ll get more healthgiving benefits that will last longer if you cultivate simple enjoyments and restorative tranquility.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The coming weeks will be an excellent time to cruise past the houses where you grew up, the schools you used to attend, the hotspots where you and your old friends hung out, and the places where you first worked and had sex. In fact, I recommend a grand tour of your past. If you can’t literally visit the locations where you came of age, simply visualize them in detail. In your imagination, take

a leisurely excursion through your life story. Why do I advise this exercise? Because you can help activate your future potentials by reconnecting with your roots.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): One of my favorite Cancerian artists is Penny Arcade, a New York performance artist, actress and playwright. In this horoscope, I offer a testimonial in which she articulates the spirit you’d be wise to cultivate in the coming weeks. She said, “I am the person I know best, inside out, the one who best understands my motivations, my struggles, my triumphs. Despite occasionally betraying my best interests to keep the peace, to achieve goals or for the sake of beloved friendships, I astound myself by my appetite for life, my unwavering curiosity into the human condition, my distrust of the status quo, my poetic soul and abiding love of beauty, my strength of character in the face of unfairness and my optimism despite defeats and loss.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The Witwatersrand is a series of cliffs in South Africa. It encompasses 217 square miles. From this area, which is a tiny fraction of the Earth’s total land surface, humans have extracted 50 percent of all the gold ever mined. I regard this fact as an apt metaphor for you to meditate on in the next 12 months. If you’re alert, you will find your soul’s equivalent of Witwatersrand. What I mean is that you’ll have a golden opportunity to discover emotional and spiritual riches that will nurture your soul as it has rarely been nurtured.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22): What I wish for you is a toasty coolness. I pray that you will claim a messy gift.

I want you to experience an empowering surrender and a calming climax. I very much hope that you will finally see an obvious secret and capitalize on some unruly wisdom and take an epic

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Psychologist James Hansell stated his opinion of psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud: “He was wrong about so many things. But he was wrong in such interesting ways. He pioneered a whole new way of looking at things.” That description should provide good raw material for you to consider as you play with your approach to life in the coming weeks. Being right won’t be half as important as being willing to gaze at the world from upside-down, insideout perspectives. So I urge you to put the emphasis on formulating experimental hypotheses, not on proving definitive theories. Be willing to ask naive questions and make educated guesses and escape your own certainties.

These wonders may sound paradoxical, and yet they’re quite possible and exactly what you need.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I invite you to eliminate all of the following activities from your repertoire in the next three weeks: squabbling, hassling, feuding, confronting, scuffling, skirmishing, sparring and brawling. Why is this my main message to you?

Because the astrological omens tell me that everything important you need to accomplish will come from waging an intense crusade of peace, love and understanding. The bickering and grappling stuff won’t help you achieve success even a little — and would probably undermine it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Stockbrokers in Pakistan grew desperate when the Karachi Stock Exchange went into a tailspin. In an effort to reverse the negative trend, they performed a ritual sacrifice of 10 goats in a parking lot. But their “magic” failed. Stocks continued to fade. Much later they recovered, but not in a timely manner that would suggest the sacrifice worked. I urge you to avoid their approach to fixing SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’re entering problems, especially now. a phase of your astrological cycle when you’ll be Reliance on superstition and likely to receive gifts at a higher rate than usual. wishful thinking is guaranSome gifts could be big, complex and catalytic, teed to keep you stuck.

kaidoku Each of the 26 letters of the alphabet is represented in this grid by a number between 1 and 26. Using letter frequency, word-pattern recognition, and the numbers as your guides, fill in the grid with well-known English words (HINT: since a Q is always followed by a U, try hunting down the Q first).

Only lowercase, unhyphenated words are allowed in kaidoku, so you won’t see anything like STOCKHOLM or LONG-LOST in here (but you might see AFGHAN, since it has an uncapitalized meaning, too).
