A hundred and fifty bucks isn’t a lot of money. It’s not as much as, say, $160, which is the amount of unauthorized petty cash expenses that eventually ended up getting two Savannah Film Office employees fired and Film Office Director Jay Self sus-pended for a week by City Manager Rochelle Small–Toney.

‘Extravagance and utter disregard’

But $150 will apparently rent you a shut-tle ride for 15 people in downtown Atlanta, from the Hyatt Regency to Ray’s In The City to get a bite to eat.

I don’t know how many of you are famil-iar with that particular stretch of Peachtree Street. I stayed at the Hyatt just a few weeks ago, which makes this story even more laughable to me than it seems on paper.

Here’s the punchline:The distance from the Hyatt to Ray’s? 351 feet.Drivetime from 265 Peachtree to 240

Peachtree?21 seconds, according to Google Maps.Of course, as many of you know by now,

one of the passengers on that half–block shuttle ride — if indeed the shuttle ever ran at all — was none other than Small–Toney herself, in Atlanta for the annual Mayor’s Day Conference.

To give full credit where it’s due, this was just one tidbit in an excellent piece over the weekend by Leslie Conn published by our competition, the Savannah Morning News.

Conn’s devastating piece chronicled a City Manager’s office which doesn’t practice what it preaches, an office which insists on laser–like precision on the part of everyone else’s accounting, but is itself content to handwrite its own homemade receipts and backdate them after the fact for reimburse-ment (the case with the notorious half-block shuttle ride).

Online, the piece unfortunately bears the numbingly nondescript headline “Savan-nah City Manager Rochelle Small–Toney’s travel reports violate city policy,” which is sort of like saying “Theater shooting incon-veniences moviegoers.” But that didn’t keep it from going viral.

(Note to Leslie, just between us: It’s fis-cal year budget time. If I were you I’d carry a copy of that story with you all day and start waving it around whenever dudes with suits walk by. Maybe they’ll take some money from the editor who wrote that headline and throw it your way instead.)

Some other highlights (boldface mine):• “Small–Toney routinely submitted

travel reports two, three and five months after a trip, and final receipts for several hotel bills and a rental car agreement were not submitted. Instead, email printouts of booking confirmations were submit-ted along with a line item from her online checking account statement.”

• While at the National Forum for Black Public Administrators last April 20–26 in Virginia Beach, Va., “Documents provided show the city manager billed the city $254 for an extra night’s stay so she could stay to play” in a golf tournament. She also “rented an SUV, costing the city more than $660, plus $50 in gas and $100 in parking.”

• Small–Toney receives cash advances from the City before travel (!). For the Vir-ginia trip she got a cash advance of $2,125 and billed the city another $547. “She also notified council she had reimbursed the city the $100 entry fee to play in the tour-nament, though no record of the check was found.”

• “An employee can take per diem or submit receipts, not both,” as has been Small–Toney’s usual practice.

But in a way, perhaps the following item is the most damning in the long term:

• “The cost for the city manager’s travel from Nov. 2010–April 2012 was $19,205.”

Wow. Stop and think about that. You should, since you’re the one that paid for it.

Folks, I’m lucky enough to have done a lot of traveling in my life. If I were to spend 19 grand on travel over a year and half, some of the words you’d be hearing would be Paris, London, Florence, Barcelona, Greek islands. Vodka shots with Vladimir Putin to try and talk him into letting Pussy Riot out of jail.

And I might still have money left over.“Extravagance and utter disregard” is how

a Facebook friend of mine described Small–Toney’s behavior and personal use of tax-payer funds. I’ve heard no other phrase that better sums it up.

Small–Toney is surely not the first employee, public or private, to broker deals over 18 holes. And surely not the first to game the system to squeeze more reim-bursement money from taxpayers.

But she’s established a pattern: Heavy–handed use of power with regards to other City employees, lax observance of her own rules when it stands to benefit her directly.

And running through it all is the real core issue: She is allowed to do this by her bosses, Savannah City Council. Even encouraged by our local system in which the City’s auditing department reports directly to...

Small-Toney herself!When confronted with her city manager’s

cavalier use of taxpayer funds, Mayor Edna Jackson told Conn she “hoped the city’s sys-tem had enough flexibility and trust of its employees to allow rare exceptions.”

I agree 100 percent, Madame Mayor.I suspect the Savannah Film Office might

also agree. As would the Savannah Develop-ment and Renewal Authority, which Small–Toney also gutted after its own accounting scandal.

Another Facebook friend asked if perhaps some of these City employees who’d been terminated for misuse of funds might now have cause to sue for wrongful termina-tion, since there’s demonstrably one set of rules for one office of City government and another set for the rest of them.

The irony there being that if the City loses, the taxpayers would pay for that, too... cs

Where I come from, children entertained themselves or they were sent outside with the coyotes.

If you were very good, you got to play Atari for 30 minutes after dinner. The rest of the time you either read a book or fed bugs to the cat and that was that.

Yet somehow I ended up with five young people in my care last Wednes-day morning, all of them looking expectantly at me as if I was supposed to do something fascinating, such as pull gold coins out of my ears or morph into a unicorn.

It was a daunting audience: Three eight year–old girls who can shatter glass with the combined power of their shrieking and two moping Face-book–obsessed preteen boys whose only source of solace is the knowledge that they will one day be old enough to drive themselves to the mall.

As a pack, they can ravage a person of her hearing and any coolness that person might have thought she had. I almost panicked, since the last two weeks before school starts is when they’re at their most feral.

Then I remembered: The Savan-nah Children’s Museum opened the doors to one of its exhibits this sum-mer. I was saved!

“A museum? Ugggggh. I don’t want stand around and LOOK at things,” mewled Liberty.

“Yeah, we wanna TOUCH stuff,”

Entertaining children is not my strong suit.

the property to the site of the muse-um’s Exploration Station, there was a moment of solemnity as we read on the markers that the Revolutionary War was fought right under our feet.

“That’s kind of the crazy twist that sets this apart from other children’s museums,” said CHS Marketing Director Patricia “Kiki” Guerrero–Knight. “You actually get play in ruins. You get to touch history.”

This sounded fantastic to the girls, who ran past the gates and immedi-ately began sticking their hands in the nearest exhibit, a rushing water-tray that turns making a mess into an archaeology dig.

Then everyone scampered over to a rack of giant blue building blocks that the girls used to build up giant towers

demanded Charlotte.“And not have people telling us to

be quiet,” said Ella pointedly. “Like you do when we’re playing Rock Band.”

I winced. “Well. What if I told you this was a place where not only could you touch everything, you can be as loud as you want?”

The girls squealed, causing the win-dows to tremble in their frames.

Abraham and Luke rolled their eyes so hard they fell backwards. “Is there wi–fi?”

“No, but there may be a trip to Hot Topic in your future if you cooperate.”

With everyone on board, we headed downtown to Tricentennial Park, where the Coastal Heritage Society oversees a veritable com-pound of historical delights, includ-ing the epic Georgia State Railroad Museum (trainheads can still call it the Roundhouse if you like) and the Savannah History Museum. (CHS also has Old Fort Jackson under its umbrella and recently acquired the Pin Point Heritage Center, open to visitors starting Sept. 1.)

Upon arrival, the children stood gap–mouthed, looking up at the ancient towering smokestack used by the Central of Georgia Railroad. Even the boys dropped their jaded tween-ish veneer for a minute to ogle the steam engines.

As we traipsed to the west end of

and then knock them down. Like forty times. The boys built their own man cave and plotted their takeover of the world.

We wandered over to a table of drums and shakers and other instru-ments to fulfill their noise–making promises. Still thinking I had a chance to impress this group, I grabbed a mallet.

“Look, a cowbell! More cowbell!” I cried. I pounded out a beat, reveling in my own hilarity.

Abraham eyeballed me with disgust.

“It’s a gogo bell, Mom. From West Africa. Duh.”

To underscore my musical idiocy, he and Luke began picking out the strains of Gotye’s “Somebody That

Situated on an acre of soft green grass, the Exploration Station drops down inside the reinforced brick arches of an old CofGA carpentry building, where international chil-dren’s museum designer Lee Skol-nick has created world of wonder: A wooden maze to get lost then found. A cooling mist shower embedded into an old chimney. A cozy read-ing hideaway tucked under the brick arches sponsored by Live Oak Public Libraries.

“No Harry Potter,” sniffed Abra-ham, yet then settled into the pillows to reread a few childhood favorites.

The girls took a breather in the no–spaz zone of the tranquil Frog-town Garden, lush with marigolds, basil, eggplant, peppers and lavender. Giant checker boards lend a certain Alice in Wonderland vibe, and the color scheme is a blend of natural hues — as opposed to your typical kid–themed primary–colored sensory overload. Kiki relayed that special

needs parents are particularly appre-ciative of this element, though any parent would approve of a spot that marries nature and play.

“I bring my son here once or twice a week,” writer Christopher Berinato tells me as his toddler, Max, stacks giant blocks. “He has fun every time, and I also like being here. That’s pretty important.”

The outdoor Exploration Station is only the first phase of what the Chil-dren’s Museum will become: When

After several hours, lunch beck-oned and I seemed to remember a promise involving the mall, so I went to round up my posse.

The girls seemed to have shrieked themselves out and were reading qui-etly. I found the boys at the Whimsi-cal Wardrobe area, trying on hats.

Luke swung around wearing an elephant nose and holding up a pair of drum mallets.

“I give this place two drums up! Badabump!”

“Nice. Time to go, guys,” I called.“What? Already?” groused Abra-

Kids. You just can’t win. cs

If you’re interested in local transporta-tion news, which might be the case if you’re reading this, you know there’s been a lot to talk about in recent weeks.

Even if we exclude the results from Georgia’s Transportation Special Pur-pose Local Option Sales Tax referen-dum, there have been plenty of other stories to follow.

Of particular interest to bicyclists was news that the City of Savannah plans to deploy additional signage on Price Street. The goal is to provide guidance to confused motorists who are still trying to drive in the bike lane many months after it officially opened.

While the design’s different from other bicycle lanes in the city, there is a precedent. In fact, WTOC–TV used a photo of the similarly arrayed Wash-ington Avenue bicycle lanes to illus-trate its Aug. 9 story on Price Street.

I can’t imagine what some local drivers would make of cycle tracks, bicycle boulevards, half street closures, intersection bike boxes and through lanes, and other innovative facilities being installed in other parts of the country.

I presume that most motorists are genuinely confused, but I can’t shake the suspicion that some are staging an Occupy the Bike Lane movement to protest the rearrangement of the street. Price Street, in its previous incarna-tion, had excess car carrying capacity. This allowed drivers to achieve maxi-mum escape velocity as they rocketed out of downtown. The quality of life in

finding: Whether you are killed by a person driving a car or killed by a per-son wielding a gun, you will be exactly the same amount of dead. And the vast majority of us are much more likely to be hurt or killed in traffic crashes than we are to be victims of violent crime.

If the duty of police officers is to protect and serve, discouraging speed-ing, distracted or impaired driving, and other violations that cause traffic crashes is a productive and perfectly appropriate use of their time, training and talent.

As the most vulnerable of road users, cyclists and pedestrians can benefit from a focus on traffic enforce-ment. As WSVH–FM’s Orlando Montoya reported Aug. 9, “Georgia roads are becoming safer for drivers. But more pedestrians than ever are being struck and killed,” and our state’s pedestrian fatality rate is 25 percent higher than the national average.

What’s the best strategy to address these statistics?

It’s unclear whether ticketing pedes-trians increases safety. The SCMPD’s infamous 2009 jaywalking crackdown produced an entirely different result: a PR nightmare for the department.

On the other hand, studies from Miami and other cities suggest focus-ing enforcement on drivers decreases behavior that endangers pedestrians.

And, as Montoya’s piece suggests, the street design is receiving increased attention as a factor pedestrian and cyclist fatalities.

In this regard, Savannah is heading in the right direction with the redesign of Price Street. Now if we can all just learn how to use it correctly. cs

John bennett is vice-chairman of the savannah bicycle campaign.

the neighborhood suffered, as did the facades and porches of adjacent build-ings that were hit by wayward cars.

The reconfigured street delivers improved livability and public safety, but I suspect motorists, who were accustomed to speeding on Price Street, now feel inconvenienced.

The vibrancy of the National Land-mark Historic District means that drivers must contend with all sorts of vehicles–from bicycles to buses to baby strollers –and most of these are traveling at slower speeds.

That’s a good thing, unless you are impatient to get to the Southside. In that case, the reconfigured Price Street is now one less place you can reliably expect to go fast.

A similar feeling probably colored some folks’ reaction to a new Savan-nah–Chatham Metropolitan Police Department initiative. On Aug. 13, the SCMPD announced it would begin a 90–day focus on traffic enforcement, during which, “every officer becomes a traffic unit...”

Complaints against stepped–up traf-fic enforcement are predictable. First come accusations that the additional citations are simply revenue enhance-ment. Next comes the suggestion that enforcing traffic regulations is a misal-location of law enforcement resources that would be better directed toward combating violent crime.

I’m not a doctor (at least not the kind of doctor that helps people, as my wife likes to say) but I stand by the veracity of this often cited medical

A composite contributionBy Jessica leigh leBos | jll@connectsavannah.com

Inside the boxes are the many books, albums, paintings, magazines, letters and other artifacts relating to Savannah African–American life col-lected by his friend W.W. Law, the beloved community activist and his-torian who Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called “the most important civil rights figure in the South.”

When Mr. Law passed away in 2002, he entrusted the massive col-lection to Mr. Pendergraph, who has been overseeing the preservation of what is quite possibly the largest col-lection of African–American history in the Southeast (over 100,000 items)ever since.  

“This is no ordinary work,” declares the director of the W.W. Law Foun-dation. “I knew he was going to will everything to me when he died, but I didn’t know I’d be in over my head.”

While the material has been orga-nized into this tower of boxes, only twenty–five percent of the items have been catalogued by profes-sional archivists, funded by a special sales tax in 2003–2008. The aim of the foundation is to see the whole lot categorized and available for public viewing in its own research library, to be housed in the city’s soon–to–be–built cultural arts center.

Ten years after Law’s death,

however, the foundation struggles not only to keep itself financially afloat, but also to remain relevant in the minds of today’s Savannahians. Though there was a time when “any-body who knew anybody who knew anything about Savannah knew about Mr. Law,” many who have moved the city in the last decade know noth-ing of him. Even if his name sounds familiar, the scope and significance of his work remains hidden.

Enter Ben Brown, a SCAD graphic design graduate student from Tacoma, Washington. Brown came to Pendergraph earlier this year with a proposal: Bring more awareness to the W.W. Law Foundation using large banners on buildings and buses that bear an image of Law’s smiling face

and a quote:“I was the result of a composite con-

tribution. I tried not to have a big end-ing, but rather, to live my life doing the best I could each day, because a good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.”

These thoughtful words, inscribed on Law’s headstone, struck Brown deeply when he came across them during research for a class. Inspired by Law’s commitment to the idea of Dr. King’s all–inclusive Beloved Com-munity, he conceived the project to help Pendergraph keep Law’s vision-ary work visible.

“Savannah is a city that tells its history visually, and I noticed there was a real lack of visual narrative for the African–American community,”

Remer Pendergraph stands in a room amongst piles and piles of boxes.

recalls Brown.“Mr. Law is someone I can believe

in,” he continues. “I met him through his words, and I thought that’s the way the city can meet him, too.”

At first, Pendergraph was surprised at such enthusiasm from a newcomer to Savannah.

“He came out of the blue sky,” he laughs. “But he’s done everything he said he would do.”

Together the two men—one older and black, the other young and white—have created a three–month long campaign that has unfurled banners on Savannah’s institutions dedicated to African–American his-tory, behind every one of which Law was a rallying figure in its establish-ment: The King Tisdale Cottage, an homage to coastal African–American heritage; The Beach Institute, show-casing art by sculptor Ulysses Davis; and the Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum, chronicling the local marches and non–violent protests of which Law was an integral part.

The mural campaign is mobile, too, befitting Law’s lifelong commitment to public transportation: Several CAT buses display the murals, piquing the interest of drivers and passersby all over the city.

Law spent 40 years as a mail carrier, and included in this awareness effort is a special cancellation stamp cre-ated by the United States Post Office. While Law hasn’t been commemo-rated with his own postage stamp yet, the city’s Fahm Street Post Office location approved a way to honor its former colleague in a proper way.

“This is what we use to cancel let-ters and show the date,” explains Amy Wing, secretary to the Postmaster General. “People can come down here and get their bills and birthday cards hand–stamped and send them on

their way, or they can keep them as a souvenir.”

Wing says philatelists from all over the country are sending her self–addressed stamped envelopes to can-cel with the W.W. Law stamp so they can add the commemorative graphic to their collections. The special can-cellation stamp will be available at the Fahm Street station through October.

Back at the headquarters of the W.W. Law Foundation, Pendergraph sifts through original documents from early meetings of the NAACP, a letter from President John F. Kennedy reinstating Law to his job at the post office after he was fired for protesting segregation, a first-issue 1960s Ebony magazine bearing a cover portrait of Lena Horne. Along the walls are more than 7000 books, old maps, paint-ings by African–American artists and framed photographs of anonymous relatives.

Pendergraph and Brown hope the increased awareness from the public art campaign will translate into more funding and a few grant–savvy vol-unteers. They estimate that it will take two years to render this this moun-tain of materials into a collection that will fill the future W.W. Law Research and Preservation Center.

“He cracked the foundation of his house with all of it,” remembers Pen-dergraph, who spent an entire year moving and sorting along with a team of others committed to the cause.

Those who knew Law understood that how adamant he was that every shred of the African–American expe-rience was valuable.

“Everybody’s story mattered to him,” remembers his old friend.

Adds Brown: “He was trying to hang on to the community in any way he could.” cs

Anyone with information the shooting is asked to call Crimestoppers at (912) 234–2020 or text CRIMES (274637). In the body type, include “CStop2020” plus the tip.

• The woman critically injured after being struck by a car last week has been identified as Crystal Rax–ba, 23, of Garden City.

She was transported to Memorial University Medical Center after she was injured while walking in a turn lane of Highway 17 about 11:30 p.m.

Glenn Sams, 18, of Savannah, was driving a black 1997 Buick Park Avenue northbound on Highway 17 when he moved over to the right turn lane to enter Highway 204 and struck the woman in the middle of the lane. cs

A very bad, no good rotten dayA man was arrested on bat-tery charges after the SWAT Team removed him from an attic where he was hiding.

Jarred Evan Zeigler, 30, was appre-hended after a 3 –hour operation which included SWAT, the Hostage Negotiations Team, violent crimes detectives and the Bomb Squad.

He was charged with domestic violence battery and is being held on two previous warrants after being taken into custody just before midnight.

Police were called to the residence about 7:15 p.m. after neighbors heard an altercation. A female was seen walking out and then being pulled back in. After the house was sur-rounded, the female exited and was taken to an ambulance for examina-tion. Zeigler refused to exit and the

Bomb Squad robot was dispatched to search for him. He was found in a small attic.

• A Savannah man who drove over construction cones during a traffic stop and then drove into a police car faces eight charges after struggling with officers.

Michael Brian Russell, 37, of White Bluff Road was charged with reck-less driving, no proof of insurance, failure to yield to a vehicle enter-ing the roadway, failure to maintain lane, having an open container in the vehicle, driving with a suspended or revoked license, driving under the influence and obstruction.

Southside Precinct officers strug-gled with Russell before he was pulled from his pickup truck after being sprayed with pepper spray.

An officer reported having to avoid a collision when Russell performed a U–turn on White Bluff near his residence about 9:20 p.m. As the offi-cer followed the pickup truck with emergency equipment activated, he observed the truck run over several

Blotter

construction cones and a sidewalk.

A second officer with emergency equipment activated stopped in front of the truck only to see it stop and then proceed towards the police car. He was unable to move the police car out of the way before the truck struck the passenger side door. Minor damage was reported.

After the struggle, police discov-ered a glass of what appeared to be an alcoholic beverage, an empty liquor bottle and a passport that identified Russell. Records showed his driver’s license had been suspended after a previous DUI charge.

• Police are investigating the shooting death of a 40–year–old Savannah man in his house this past Saturday.

Milton Moffett was found dead in the house in the 1300 block of East 54th Street about 2 p.m. by officers asked to check on him by neighbors.

the straight dope

So . . . after all those decades of physics and chemistry, can science transmute base substances into gold?—Bill Johnson, Fort Mill, South Carolina

Decades of physics and chemistry have given us space stations and electronic intelligence, conquered disease and extended lives, and enabled us to download gigabytes of pornography at reasonable cost.

And you’re still after fricking gold?Evidently you are. I suppose that’s

not surprising. Gold has been the most prominent symbol and source of mate-rial wealth since the dawn of history.

OK, I’ll see what I can do. Warning: I don’t promise this will be easy.

The dream of medieval alchemists was transmuting base metals into gold using the elusive philosopher’s stone, but since atomic theory was unknown little progress was made. With the ad-vent of the nuclear age, though, literally converting one element into another became possible.

Initial attempts didn’t get you gold. Rather, you started in the classic case with uranium and got various forms of iodine, cesium, strontium, xenon, bari-um, and whatnot plus enough released energy to vaporize the neighborhood—a useful result in narrow circumstances but a bother to the kitchen scientist. Also, while strontium for one is a high-value product, it’s not something you want to keep in a shoebox in the closet.

Nonetheless, physics offered possi-bilities. In 1941 researchers transformed a few mercury atoms into gold by bom-barding them with fast neutrons. The drawbacks: first, the gold was radioac-tive, and second, one gold isotope had a half-life of 78 hours, one 65 hours, and a third 48 minutes, after which they decayed into something less bankable.

In 1981 researchers at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory reported they’d smashed carbon and neon atoms into bismuth atoms and created trace amounts of gold. Fast-decaying, radio-active gold. Swell.

What we needed was a method of producing stable gold. I did what every modern researcher does when at an im-passe. I consulted Wikipedia. Naturally I didn’t trust Wikipedia. However, an uncited assertion in the “Synthesis of precious metals” entry provided a lead.

• First, get some mercury. We want Hg-196, a naturally occurring isotope with 80 protons and 116 neutrons in its nucleus. The 80 protons are what make it mercury. Gold has 79 protons—you see where I’m going with this. Finding sufficient Hg-196 could take doing, though, as only 0.15 percent of mercury is in this form.

• Slam a slow neutron into it. The journals said the desired type of neu-tron had an energy level in the thermal range. This to me suggested you could just heat up a can of neutrons on the stove and drop in some mercury. How-ever, I suspected subtleties were being overlooked. I set this matter aside.

• The slow neutron is captured by the nucleus of the Hg-196. This turns it into Hg-197, with 80 protons and 117 neutrons. Hg-197 is unstable. In 64.14 hours, give or take, electron capture occurs. This means the Hg-197 grabs an electron from a low-hanging shell, combines it with a proton to make a neutron, and kicks out a neutrino.

• Discard the neutrino. No need of it.• The Hg-197 has now turned into

something with 79 protons and 118 neutrons. Do you know what this? It’s Au-197, the only stable isotope of gold.

• Repeat five zillion times, until you have enough gold to make an ingot. Success! However, you must now separate the stable gold deriving from Hg-196 from the unwanted crud deriv-ing from the rest of the mercury, which I remind you constitutes 99.85 percent of what’s out there and a good chunk of which I’ll bet is now radioactive.

You’re thinking: Too much for me. I’m going back to traditional methods of gold extraction involving exploitation of Third World workers. Pshaw. I remind you of David Hahn, the Detroit-area Boy Scout who built a model breeder reactor in his mom’s potting shed using radioactive materials scavenged from smoke detectors and clocks.

Despite obstacles, did David get discouraged? Judging from photos, I’d say he got radiation poisoning. Maybe you should reconsider how badly you want this, Bill. But at least you know it can be done. cs

news of the weird

using the same hiding place to sneak in heroin and 256 prescription pills (reported in News of the Weird eight weeks ago). (Amanatides’ stash was discovered when the baggie holding it became dislodged and broke open on the floor.)

• Stores and transportation carriers are, after all these years, still unsure

about which “assistance animals” they must allow without violating the federal Americans With Disabilities Act. Under the U.S. Depart-ment of Transportation’s latest draft guidelines for airlines, released in February, miniature horses and pot-bellied pigs are allowed on board under certain conditions, but not fer-rets, rodents, spiders, snakes or other reptiles. Apparently there is a North American Pot-bellied Pig Association, whose vice president

pointed out to CNSNews.com that swine can be trained to open and close doors and to use a litter box.

• Another Fortuitous Injury: Fortu-nately, 9-year-old Jacob Holdaway got hit in the head so hard during a game of kickball in Fairland, Ind., in July that he started vomiting and having severe headaches. Because his parents took him to a hospital for that head smack, doctors found a golfball-sized tumor

that might not have been discovered until after it had become dangerously large. Doctors were able to remove most of it and suspect it was benign.

• Several inventors have attempted over the years to transport bodily sen-sations over the Internet so that couples separated by distance can simulate personal affections to each other. Now comes Hooman Samani of the Singa-pore company Lovotics, introducing his “Kissenger” at a design conference in Newcastle, England, in June. Kissenger is a large, soft ball with human-like lips and many pressure points, connected in tandem by the Internet, so that the unique lip movements by one lover are received precisely by the other as if their mouths were actually working the kiss. (In May 2011, Kajimoto Lab in Tokyo introduced a machine with a straw-like device that, when rotated by one lover’s tongue, theoretically rotated one in the partner’s device, thus simu-lating a “French kiss.” )

• Attendance is still strong in tiny Shingo, Japan, where villagers are cer-tain that Jesus Christ is buried. About 500 tourists joined the celebration on June 3 (an event first held in 1964), in honor of Jesus’ relocation there (pre-sumably a voluntary journey from Cal-vary after the crucifixion). According to legend, he lived out his life in Shingo uneventfully, and a festival with danc-ing girls marks the anniversary. cs

Short-Sighted SolutionUnclear on the Concept (and the

Image): The Associated Press, report-ing in August from Jerusalem, noted that the ultra-Orthodox community’s “modesty patrols” were selling eye-glasses with “special blur-inducing stickers” that fuzz up distant images so that offended men will not inadver-tently spot immodestly dressed women. (The stickers apparently simulate near-sightedness, in that vision is clear in the near-field.) The “modesty patrols” have long tried to shame women dressed in anything other than closed-neck, long-sleeved blouses and long skirts, but may be losing that fight. A columnist for the Tel Aviv daily Haaretz praised the eye-glasses for shifting the responsibility to men for their priggishness.

Once again, have a look at some recent weird news that sounds a lot like old weird news (our “Recurring Themes”), plus updates on some all-time-favorite weirdos.

• Periodically, News of the Weird reports on foreigners’ cuisines that most Americans find “undelectable.” A June Wall Street Journal story featured a hardy, fun-loving group of New Yorkers (the “Innard Circle”) who dine monthly at out-of-the-way ethnic restaurants in order to sample such dishes as camel’s eyeball (“way different from a goat’s eyeball,” said one member) and “crispy colorectal,” and had recently learned, from a non-English-speaking waitress,

that they had just consumed bull’s diaphragm. Another member admit-ted “an element of showing off” to the exercise, and acknowledged that not all rookie members return for a second meal. The one body part that no one seems to recall having tried yet: uterus.

• The way it usually happens is Mom and Dad start a road trip with their children, but after a rest stop, they fail to notice that one of the kids is not on board, and they may be well down the road before they turn around. However, in June, the fam-ily member left behind at a Memphis, Tenn., rest stop was Dad, and for 100 miles, no one grasped that he was missing. The family was traveling in a van, and everyone presumed Dad was in the back. He was still at the gas station, call-ing his own phone (which was in the back of the van). Dad finally reached Mom in the van by posting to Facebook.

• In June, inmate Michelle Richards, 33, was about to begin her sentence at the Albany County (N.Y.) jail when guards discovered a hypodermic nee-dle and seven packets of heroin inside her vagina. (She had been arrested for possessing a needle and heroin in her bra.) Richards’ arrest came about a week after inmate Andrea Amanatides was caught at the very same jailhouse

CHECK IT OUTThe “Fire in the Hole” hip hop series (hosted by Knife from Dope Sandwich) continues

Friday, Aug. 24 at the Wormhole with performances by Word of Mouth members Miggs and Electric Grandma, Toine, Hangman and Solarge ... Live Wire brings back Atlanta producer Chuck Moreland and his “ghetto glam” electronic/hip hop project Bitch Please (pictured). It’s beat and bass–heavy electro, dubstep and house music mixed over R&B and dance classics. Say hello to Chuckie’s BP station Saturday, Aug. 25 ... The Accomplices —one of the best and brightest Savannah bands for 2012 – play Molly MacPherson’s Scottish Pub on the 25th .... cs

SAppHIRE BUllETS Of pURE lOVEAt 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 25American Legion Post 135, 1108 Bull St. $15In the words of Kool & the Gang, there’s a party goin’ on right here.For two decades, in Savannah, that’s always meant the Sapphire Bullets of

Pure Love are on the bandstand. The Bullets — 13 pieces including the five–member “Bonaventure Horns” — play soulful, kickass rhythm ‘n’ blues chest-nuts, with one goal in mind.

“We provide music for people to dance to,” says Phil McDonald, the soul machine’s founder, funk–fueled bassist and prime motivator.

Beefy horns and R&B classics? Ain’t nothing else like it in Savannah. McDonald: “I’ve got a horn band and people say ‘Well, you guys do Chi-

cago,’ and I say ‘Absolutely not. Have you ever heard a Chicago tune that people responded to, and got up and danced?’ No. It never happens. Nobody dances to a Chicago tune.”

That hackneyed slow dance to “Colour My World” notwithstanding, McDonald is probably right.

Dig the Bullets’ James Brown medley. Or Tom Jones’ “It’s Not Unusual.” Or  “Flip Flop and Fly.” Or slow jams like “Me and Mrs. Jones” and “You Don’t Know Me.”

The moniker was lifted from a short track on the Mahavishnu Orchestra’s classic 1973 album Birds of Fire. “It’s the title of a 24–second song of free form noise,” explains McDonald. “I thought it was a great name for an R&B band.” The group was originally called Jimmy Stratocaster & the Sapphire Bullets of Pure Love.

“The fun of it is, we’re just really good friends,” McDonald says. “We don’t have to work. Being 13 pieces, it’s a huge footprint; not a lot of people book that size band for any functions, so when we do work it’s because we want to.” In other words, just about everyone in the band has a day job.

“And the guys that are trying to make a living at it have other bands,” adds McDonald. “There’s never any kind of a conflict in that regard, because horn players are trying to work as much as they can. That’s what they do.”

Along with McDonald, the Sapphire Bullets are Tim Love and John Stracner on vocals, John Banks and Blake Carlysle on guitars, drummer Doug Dorkins, percussionist Bill Norton, Paul Mazo and keyboards. The horn section consists of Kirk Lee, Gloria Sutter, Rod Van Otterloo, Larry Golden and Rick Wagner.

The band puts on these dance parties at the Legion hall twice a year.“The most fun we can have is when people are out there dancing, partying,”

McDonald says. “What I’m trying to do, and through me the rest of them are trying to do, is create this kind of shotgun shack party barn that we all remem-ber from our college days.

“That’s what I’m trying to re–create, that vibe, where you show up, you dance, you’re not and sweaty and everybody tells lies. And has a good time.”

Other than the occasional drib and the occasional drab, the city doesn’t have an all–local music festival.

Well, that’s all changed, thanks to Amanda Hollowell, an event planner who recently arrived from California.

It’s called Square Fest, it’s free, and it takes place Saturday, Aug. 25 from 2 to 10 p.m. in Forsyth Park.

(That’s right, it’s not happening in an actual square. Let’s set the sematics aside, shall we?)

“When I moved into Savannah I realized how rich it was with art and culture and music,” Hollowell says. “And you just kind of had to go find

it. I thought ‘There’s something we can do that’s organic.’ It sounded really simple, and it wasn’t.”

Square Fest isn’t trying to pass itself off as the “best” in Savannah music — several notable local acts are con-spicuous by their absence — but that really isn’t the point. Along with a couple of relative newbies, there are several bands and artists on the ros-ter that are well–known to our local bandheads.

Hollowell was also keen on bring-ing “bar acts” to Square Fest, per-formers that usually fly well over the radar of those under 21.

For her, it’s all about community.“It’s been a great experience,”

she enthuses. “I’ve teamed up with a local studio, 912 Entertainment, and they’re a bunch of great people to work with. They have more of an underground, hip hop recording influence, but they were really trying to figure out how to bridge that gap in music as well.”

From veteran pop/rockers Listen 2 Three to newly–minted rapper Steve Cantrell, there’s a broad spectrum of genre talent on this stage.

“I’m pretty diverse in my music tastings, so I didn’t want to pigeon-hole myself,” says Hollowell. “It’s like you can show up at 4 and see this band, or show up at 10 and see that band. You can plan your day around the festival and what you like.

“But the idea was, I wanted people to be able to sit down and listen to music for the whole day, and maybe get enlightened by something or

It seems like a no–brainer when you think about it. We’ve got the Savannah Music Festival, a high–end package of national and international performers. And the Savan-nah Stopover skims the cream of unsigned indie bands from east of the Mississippi and delivers them over four music–filled days.

inspired by someone. Or purchase a CD.”

Among the relatively new bands are Lyn Avenue, a pop/country quartet consisting of four Armstrong Atlantic State University students, plus Emoti-con and Sunglow.

The instrumental progresso–jazz–fusion ensemble The Royal Noise is on the bill, along with the dynamic hip hop band KidSyc@Brandywine, and the rapping collective known as Dope Sandwich.

“For selfish reasons I’m excited about Square Fest,” says singer/song-writer Todd Murray, whose nom de stage is Sincerely Iris. “I finally get to play on that great stage. I always jog past it and think about how awe-some it would be to perform there. I remember one day I was jogging past and some middle school kids were performing a band recital up there, and I was totally jealous.

“I also think that Square Fest is a really, really cool concept. To get all these awesome local bands to come together on the same day in the same spot is something special. There are so many talented bands in Savannah that play all the time, but their shows are spread out all over town. This is a great way to show people the talent we have, on the same stage.”

In this democratic aggregation, the ipso facto headliner is Word of Mouth, the eight–member boho band that delivers electro–funk, hip hop, rock ‘n’ roll and an overtly positive message.

Jeff DeRosa plays cello and bass guitar in Word Of Mouth. “We’re very excited to be a part of the festival, and we’re excited that Savannah is doing this now,” he says. “Savannah needs more festivals like this that are all

ages, and are free. It’s really support-ing the local scene instead of the peo-ple coming in from out of town.

“Of course, I love to support all music from out of town, too, but to me the 21 and up rule has always been the biggest problem with Savan-nah, in clubs. There’s not enough music that’s outside, and that’s free, that everybody can come see.”

WOM is currently recording a full–length album, and as each track is completed it’s being made avail-able online at wordofmouthspeaks.com. True to its communal manifesto, the band also provides “stems” (iso-lated bass, drum, keyboard or guitar tracks) for DYI remixes.

DeRosa places all credit for Square Fest squarely on the shoulders of Amanda Hollowell.

“She doesn’t have a lot of backing,” he points out. “She’s really doing this flying by the seat of her pants, and I commend her for that.

“I personally think Savannah has a vendetta against live music — it’s been tough, with the permits and all that, but she’s really kept it together and keep her head on straight under all that pressure.” cs

Local filmmakers compete to beat the clock this weekend

Thefirst48

www.connectsavannah.com/culture

By Bill deyoung | bill@connectsavannah.com

It’s the 48 Hour Film Project, now in its fourth year in Savannah, in which aspiring filmmakers create an entire short film in two short days. Start to Fin.

Approximately 10 teams have paid the registration fee for the 2012 film–a–thon, according to the local event producer Anthony Paderewski. Sur-prisingly, “Only one or two are SCAD teams,” he says. “I think that’s because most of them are away at the time it happens. So the ones who do partici-pate are usually people that are just hanging around.”

So who’s just hanging around? “They’re independent filmmakers,” Paderewski explains. “Usually the team leaders are the ones who have the camera or the resources to bring in the crew to make these films.”

Now in its 11th year, the 48 Hour Film Project is an international movie marathon — in 2012, 50,000 film-makers will make almost 4,000 films in 120 cities, on six continents.

Here’s how it works. Once you register, you show up to a desig-nated meeting place (this year, it’s McDonough’s, on Friday, Aug. 24). You’ll be given a character, a prop, a line of dialogue and a genre, all to include in your movie.

The genre list includes everything from horror to comedy to silent to musical. “Nobody knows what they have until they pull it out of a hat right there at the competition,” Paderewski explains. “Everybody has the same prop, the same character, the same profession of the character. They literally find out right there. Out of a bucket.”

If you just can’t stand the genre you’ve drawn, you can opt for the “wild card.” Could be anything. Could be The Last Song 2.

Over the next two days you write, cast, direct, edit and score your movie. If you miss the turn–in dead-line, you’re all washed up, pal. You’ll never work in show business again!

“There are specific rules they have to follow, and there are so many things that can happen,” says Paderewski.

For example. “Last year, we had two teams that actually turned in late. And they were two of the best films we had! Unfortunately, they weren’t eligible to win, but they got to be showcased. There was a freak elec-trical storm that Sunday, when they were supposed to turn in. The power went out during their rendering process, and when you’re rendering high–def video, you have to start all over again. And it takes hours.”

Filmmakers from Savannah, Brunswick, Beaufort and Charleston have accepted the Chatham challenge.

“It’s a venue for people who can compete,” adds Paderewski. “In the market, everybody’s making small films and independent films, but this is a platform where everybody can just sit down and compete against other local people —friends, or people in their neighborhood — and show what they can do in this limited amount of time.”

The winning team competes against other films to represent Savannah at the 48 Hour Film Project’s “Filma-palooza” event in Las Vegas. cs

Should you spot a smallish film crew on some streetcor-ner this weekend, be advised it’s not a new import from Hollywood, or Bombay, or even the advance team for The Last Song 2 (God forbid).

but the rice layer was, in sushi terms, pretty massive. The sticky rice over-whelmed the roll’s ingredients. The location has struggled over the past few years and I’m not sure a lacka-daisical entry into an already over-crowded downtown category (Asian fusion and sushi) can sustain.8 e. bRoUGhton st./231–2948

Day weekend installment of the Savannah Craft Brew Fest. There is a full three–day weekend of events officially connected to the fest. See the schedule, participating breweries and buy tickets to everything online at www.savannahcraftbrewfest.com.

I found some rough–around–the–edges aspects during my lunch visit last week. The former Tantra space just off the busy Bull and Broughton streets intersection has been given a minor facelift, but peeling and cracked paint, worn booths and dirty windows didn’t do much to endear the place.

Despite the empty conveyor, the sushi chef was on the job. I ordered an eel roll and a hot entree: green curry fried rice with chicken.

The hot dish, which was good and hot, arrived first and looked great on the plate. My dining companion found a hair in his. I had hoped to find chicken in mine, but found a scant few pieces. The flavor was good, the quantity a good value – but add-ing a few more, albeit tiny, pieces of

out–of–the box dinner by Taco Abajo Chef Donnie Simmons on Wednes-day, Aug. 29. The beers, from tiny Missouri–based Crown Valley, will not be sampled at the festival but you can enjoy them with me.

The full menu is on Taco Abajo’s Facebook page or call the restaurant for reservations, 480–9050.

The Distillery is hosting a full week of brewery nights leading up to the brew fest. Check out the website www.distillerysavannah.com for spe-cifics. Meet brewing reps, score some SWAG, drink great beer.

One big wienerI spent time last week with Oscar

Mayer Hotdoggers Anggela Warstonh and Eliot Pattee for a tour of the iconic Wienermobile.

The 27–foot–long rolling hot dog was parked for several days beneath the equally recognizable Thunderbird Inn neon sign. The inn was home away from home for the young brand ambassadors, who enjoyed a few days off touring Savannah.

There are six Wienermobiles that crisscross the US. The two–person Hotdogger (the company job title) teams spend a year handing out whis-tles and snapping digital photos with Oscar Mayer fans at events.

Mark Your CalendarBy Bill deyoung | bill•connectsavannah.com

A couple of news bytes ‘n’ bits for your pondering pleasure:

Yet another great band is fixing to make its Savannah debut. Due at Live Wire Music Hall Oct. 1, Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers is a San Francisco outfit featuring a wonderfully expres-sive lead singer (the titular Ms. Bluhm), and a bunch of guys (including Tim Bluhm, Nicki’s husband on guitar and harmony vocals) that play solid, smil-ing, hippie–esque blues and country–rock. It’s a damn good band, and Nicki and Tim do the Johnny/June, Gram/Emmy duet thing to a magical T.

Do you swing? If you do, you’re prob-ably wild about Savannah’s own Jeremy Davis & the Equinox Jazz Orchestra, which has booked a show at the Wes-tin Harbor Resort every third Monday through the end of the year. On Sept. 17, the really big band will not only celebrate the release of the CD Great American Swagger, but videotape the performance for DVD release. For details, call (912) 547–3196.

The stop–motion animated feature ParaNorman arrives courtesy of the same production company (Laika Entertainment) respon-sible for Coraline and Corpse Bride, so parents had best not take their small fry to the theater expecting to see talking cars or danc-ing penguins or anything else that would send the wee ones off to Dreamland with a smile on their face and a teddy bear (not Ted, of course) in their arms.

PaRanORMan OOO

Instead, this PG–rated attraction is open season on any child who’s still afraid of the dark, so it’s best to leave them at home watching A Bug’s Life for the umpteenth time.

Everyone else, though, can expect a good time from this imaginatively designed and sharply scripted tale about young Norman (voiced by The Road’s Kodi Smit–McPhee), a sensitive boy who, like Haley Joel Osment, sees dead people. This ability makes him the freak of his town (aptly named Blithe Hollow, a nod to both Noel Coward and

Washington Irving), and only the equally lonely Neil (Tucker Albrizzi), the butt of end-less fat jokes, wants to be his friend.

But when Norman’s estranged uncle (John Goodman) warns him that Blithe Hollow will soon be destroyed by a centuries–old witch’s curse, it’s up to Norman and Neil – reluctantly accompanied by the school bully (Christopher “McLovin” Mintz–Plasse), Nor-man’s shallow sister (Anna Kendrick) and Neil’s lunkheaded brother (Casey Affleck) – to uncover the witch’s secret, fend off shuffling zombies, and prevent the panicky

townspeople from obliterating their own community.

In the wake of toon blockbusters like Brave and the Ice Age and Mada-gascar sequels, this charming and often very funny piece is bound to get lost in the crowd. But in the chance it makes it to Blu–ray and DVD by Hal-loween, it’s a sound choice to pop into the player ... provided the tots are in the next room watching It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

THE CAMpAIGNOOO

Merlin, Harry Potter and the Great and Powerful Oz – should we add Jay Roach’s name to this list of legend-ary wizards? After all, genuine magic must have been at work behind the scenes of his latest directorial effort, a movie that bravely pairs two acquired, often bitter, tastes and yet goes down as smoothly as a White Russian. Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis can both be insufferable on their own, but placing them in the same movie? It sounds as potentially disastrous as that McCain–Palin ticket, but against

the odds, The Campaign meets with modest success by playing beyond its base (specifically, fans of the two comedians).

Roach, the helmer of the acclaimed HBO films Recount and Game Change, goes for broad laughs with his latest political piece, abetted in his goals by scripters Chris Henchy and Shawn Harwell (both of TV’s Eastbound & Down). Set entirely in North Carolina but filmed entirely in Louisiana, this casts Ferrell as Demo-cratic congressman Cam Brady, a four–term incumbent who expects to waltz unopposed to a fifth term. But an adulterous fling has left him vulnerable, leading the powerful kingmakers the Motch brothers (John Lithgow and Dan Aykroyd) to back a challenger who could potentially win the district and thereby allow the Motches to build a Chinese sweat shop on U.S. soil. They choose Marty Huggins (Galifianakis), a naive and mincing nobody who’s described by even his own dad (Brian Cox) as “one sorry f––k.” The Republican Marty hopes to win so he can genu-inely serve his constituents, but it’s an

generate a few more box office dol-lars before the inevitable flatline. For-tunately, Tony Gilroy, who scripted the Damon Bournes, has remained with the project – he’s now writer and director – and his continued involve-ment at least insures some sort of nar-rative cohesion.

That’s not the case initially, as the film does little to welcome back those folks who don’t have the original tril-ogy in their DVD library: In between scenes introducing us to the charac-ter of covert operative Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner), there’s much talk regarding the concurrent actions of Bourne himself, and viewers might need to acclimate themselves to the info overload concerning Treadstone, Pam Landy, Noah Vosen and other keywords that would draw up the series in a Google search. Eventually, the movie settles down and focuses on the efforts of Cross to evade a government that now views him as expendable; his only ally is Dr. Marta Shearing (Rachel Weisz), a scientist who finds herself similarly dispos-able. Thanks to Weisz’s performance, her character becomes the audience

uphill battle considering Cam’s expe-rience on the campaign trail.

As the dapper yet duplicitous Cam Brady, Ferrell is allowed one or two of his patented freak–out scenes but for the most part keeps his over–the–top shtick in check. Yet the real surprise is Galifianakis. Whereas Ferrell only gives us a political caricature (not his fault; the role’s written that way), Gali-fianakis allows us to also see the man behind the public front: a sweet, soft–spoken simpleton with a penchant for loud, tacky shirts and calendars fea-turing animals dressed like humans.

THE BOURNE lEGACYOOP

No Matt Damon? No problem! With the actor having ably tackled the role of Jason Bourne in the trio of films based on Robert Ludlum’s best–selling Bourne trilogy – and with attempts at bringing Damon back for a fourth, uncharted Bourne project falling through – the studio has opted to head in another direction here.

Its sole, cynical purpose is to keep a franchise on life support so as to

surrogate more than Renner’s impen-etrable Aaron Cross, who isn’t given enough dimension to emerge from Jason Bourne’s shadow.

The action sequences, a vivid draw in the other films (particularly The Bourne Ultimatum), run hot–and–cold here.

HOpE SpRINGSOO

Despite the star teaming of Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones, the picture is a letdown, saved from com-plete irrelevance by, you guessed it, the superlative turns by the two leads. The premise is more than merely promising, centering on a long–mar-ried couple who attempt to salvage their stale relationship by spending a week at an out–of–town counseling retreat. Kay (Streep) is the unhappy one, tired of leading a passion–free life and eager to give the program a chance. Arnold (Jones) is the compla-cent one, satisfied with his utterly pre-dictable (and utterly dull) existence and prone to complaining nonstop once his wife manages to get him to the seminar. It’s a provocative setup, and with the added attraction of Steve Carell as the counselor, it sounds like it can’t miss.

Unfortunately, scripter Vanessa Taylor does remarkably little with this choice idea. She neuters Carell with a part that requires no depth or varia-tion and she initially makes Arnold such an unpleasant man that his inevitable about–face feels more than a little forced. That we stick with the character at all is a testament to Jones’ acting abilities; Streep’s sympathetic spouse means she has an easier time of it, but she still goes beyond the call of script duty to insure that we suffer right alongside this woman.

TOTAl RECAll OP

Author Philip K. Dick wrote “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale” in 1966 – a short story, it told of a working–class man who, long want-ing to travel to Mars (which in this future setting has been colonized), visits a corporation (Rekal, Inc.) that specializes in memory implants. But as the procedure gets under way, it seems as if he has actually been to Mars, previously working there as a secret agent with a license to kill.

Director Paul Verhoeven’s 1990 film version, Total Recall, has just

been released on Blu–ray, so it’s easy to revisit it and notice just how much the 2012 take manages to reduce the scope of the story, turning it from spectacle to footnote.

Nothing in the new Total Recall deserves even a C+, let alone an A. Director Len Wiseman and his scribes have completely removed the Martian element, electing to keep the action earthbound. Keeping Total Recall on Earth is a dubious decision, but whatever – but without the Mars material, Wiseman and company do nothing to fill in the blanks. The movie is just the usual CGI soulless-ness, with the artificiality overwhelm-ing the actors.

MOONRISE KINGdOMOOOP

Equal measures sweet and bitter-sweet, Moonrise Kingdom is nothing less than Wes Anderson’s best film to date. Them’s fighting words, for sure – proponents of Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums and Fantastic Mr. Fox are already rushing the stage – but whereas the idiosyncratic writer–director’s previous six features were easy to like but difficult to love, this latest effort exudes a soothing warmth and a wide–eyed innocence that are hard to ignore. Co–written by Fran-cis Coppola’s son Roman, it brings to mind the title of one of Dad’s own movies, One from the Heart.

Certainly, there’s ample generosity of spirit throughout this 1960s–set story of Suzy and Sam (newcomers Kara Hayward and Jared Gilman), two 12–year–olds who run away together while residing on a New England island. Prior to their great escape, Sam is a Boy Scout under the care of Scout Master Ward (Edward Norton) while Suzy lives with her eccentric parents (Bill Murray and Frances McDormand) and younger brothers. Once the pair go MIA, all of the adults, led by the police chief (Bruce Willis), spring into action, with even the film’s voice–over nar-rator (Bob Balaban) dropping by to lend a hand!

Anderson’s visual compositions are often astounding – they move beyond representing mere whimsical mimicry to channeling the dollhouse panoramas and Boys’ Life directives that have fueled many a childhood fantasy – and the film’s humor offers sly, knowing winks and jolting sight gags alike. cs

“Kakuro” Fill in each square in this grid with a digit from 1 to 9. the sum of the digits in each row or col-umn will be the little number given just to the left of or just above that row or column. As with a sudoku, you can’t repeat any digits in a row or column. see the row of five squares in the upper-left with a 17 to the left of it? that means the sum of the digits in those five squares will be 17, and they won’t repeat digits. A row or column ends at a black square, so the four-square row in the upper-right with an 11 to the left of it may or may not have digits in common with the 17-row to its left. Down columns work the same way. now solve!! psychosudoku@hotmail.com

aries (March 21–April 19):

Do you know what a controlled burn is? Firefighters start small, manageable fires on purpose so as to eradicate brush that has accumulated too close to wooded areas. With less fuel around, bigger fires are not as likely to ignite accidentally and turn into conflagrations. I encourage you to use this as a metaphor for your own life, Aries. how? First, identify a big potential problem that may be looming on the horizon. then, in the coming weeks, get rid of all the small messes that might tend to feed that big problem. Make sure it’ll never happen.

taurus (April 20–May 20)

Jungian storyteller clarissa pinkola estes advises us to take good care of the untamed aspects of our nature. “the wild life must be kept ordered on a regular basis,” she writes. one way to do this is to keep our uncommon and unruly ideas clear and organized. It’s also important to give them respect, and understand that they’re crucial to our spiritual and psychological health. how are you doing in this regard, taurus? What’s your relationship with the untamed aspects of your nature? According to my reading of the omens, now is prime time for you honor and nurture and cultivate them.

gemini (May 21–June 20)

by my astrological reckoning, you’re not nearly wet enough right now. I recommend that you take immediate and intensive steps to remedy the situation. there should not be anything about you that is high and dry; you need to soak up the benefits that come from being slippery and dripping. If you’re suffering from even a hint of emotional dehydration, you should submerse yourself in the nearest pool of primal feelings. For extra credit, drink deeply from the sacred cup that never empties.

cancer (June 21–July 22)

In the 16th century, holy Roman emperor charles V ruled over a vast swath of land that included 12 modern european nations. According to some historians, he once said, “I speak spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse.”

this is the kind of attitude I recommend that you adopt in the coming weeks, cancerian. tailor your language to the people and creatures you’re speaking to. Address them on their own level of consciousness, respecting their limitations and appealing to their particular kind of intelligence. of course this is always a good policy, but it’s especially important for you to observe now. Fluency and flexibility will be rewarded in ways you can’t imagine.

leo (July 23–Aug. 22)

Would you like to enhance your relationship with money? If so, do you have any specific ideas about how to do it? the coming weeks will be an excellent time to identify and implement those ideas. Let me make an initial suggestion: Keep your magical thinking to a minimum, but don’t stamp it out entirely; a small amount of frisky fantasizing will actually boost the likelihood that your more practical intentions will achieve critical mass. here’s another tip: Imagine the presents you’d get for people if you had some extra cash. stimulating your generous urges may help motivate the universe to be generous to you.

virgo (Aug. 23–sept. 22)

A guy I know was invited to hang one of his paintings in a new york gallery –– on one condition. It had to be a piece he created on the spot, in the gallery, on the day the show opened. that would be way too much pressure for me to handle. I need to spend a long time on the stuff I make, whether it’s music or writing. I’ve got to fuss over every little detail as I constantly edit and refine and add layers. What about you, Virgo? could you quickly come up with some new wrinkle or fresh cre-ation that would show the world who you really are? I’m guessing we will soon find out.

liBra (sept. 23–oct. 22)

If you’ve been reading my horo-scopes for a while, you know I’m not a decadent cynic who thinks “no pain, no gain” is the supreme formula for success. on the con-trary. I think it’s quite possible to enjoy tremendous growth spurts when you’re happy and healthy. pleasurable events can be great learning experiences. Joy and freedom may activate potentials

that would otherwise remain dor-mant. having said that, I want to make a suggestion that may seem at odds with my usual approach, even though it’s not. For the next two weeks, I encourage you to explore the necessary power of decay. harness the archetypes of breakdown and dissolution as you put an end to things whose time is up. this work is key to your future rejuvenation and renaissance.

scorpio (oct. 23–nov. 21)

I’m going to ignore the Urban Dic-tionary’s more modern definitions of the word “yeast,” and stick to the original meaning: an agent of fermentation that brews alcoholic drinks and makes bread dough rise. Metaphorically speaking, scorpio, you should be like that for your gang or crew or tribe. I urge you to stir up group morale. provoke deeper thought and stronger feelings. Instigate some bubbly new trends and efferves-cent interactions. be yeasty!

sagittarius (nov. 22–Dec. 21)

sussex is a county in southeast england. Its official motto is “We wunt be druv,” which is sussex dialect for “We won’t be pushed around.” It’s not bad as mot-toes go, I guess. there’s power in announcing to the world that you’re not going to allow anyone to manipulate you or bully you. but I’d like to see you come up with a more robust battle cry for yourself, sagittarius –– one that doesn’t focus on what you *won’t* do, but rather on what you *will* do. It’s an ideal astrological mo-ment to articulate your driving purpose in a pithy formula that will give you strength whenever you invoke it.

capricorn (Dec. 22–Jan. 19)

“Most people consider global warming somewhat of a mixed blessing,” wrote Aaron sankin on huffington post. “on one hand, there’s ocean acidification, deserts gobbling up wide swaths of farmland and the massive die–off of the innumerable species unable to cope with the effects of the world’s rapidly rising temperature. but, on the other hand, you’ll be able to wear shorts for *literally the entire year.”* sankin is being deeply sarcastic, of course. Let’s make his satire a jumping–off point as we consider some sincerely worthwhile trade–

offs you might want to implement in your own sphere. Would you be willing to sacrifice a trivial com-fort for a new privilege? Would you shed a small pleasure to gain a much bigger pleasure? Might you divest yourself of a pocket of resentment if in doing so you’d attract a cleansing epiphany?

aQuarius (Jan. 20–Feb. 18)

I don’t expect your travels in the coming weeks to be like a smooth luxury cruise in a stretch limou-sine. your route is not likely to be a straight shot through breath-taking scenery with expansive views. no, my dear Aquarius, your journeys will be more compli-cated than that, more snakey and labyrinthine. some of the narrow passages and weedy detours you’ll need to navigate may not even resemble paths, let alone highways. And your metaphorical vehicle may resemble a funky old 1967 chevy pick–up truck or a forklift bedecked with flowers. It should be pretty fun, though. Keep in mind that your maps may only be partially useful.

pisces (Feb. 19–March 20)

In medieval times, you didn’t need a priest to get married, nor did you have to be in a church or recite a set of vows. you didn’t even have to round up witnesses. All that was required was that the two people who wanted to be wed said “I marry you” to each other. those three words had great power! In the coming days, pisces, I’d love to see you draw inspira-tion from that lost tradition. your assignment is to dream up three potent declarations that, while not legally binding, express the deep-est and most loving intentions you promise to be faithful to in the coming years.
