THIS WEEK Charlottesville is known for its views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, plethora of craft beer and wine, incredible food scene and...robots? Our tech industry is growing, as evidenced by the number of startups and co-working spaces all over town. In this week’s feature (p. 17), you’ll learn about three places that are forging ahead in the world of robotics, both locally and nationally. Perrone Robotics Inc. recently moved to a 5,000-square-foot temporary office and testing facility in downtown Crozet, with plans to expand to a permanent home and attract 120 employees in the next five years. The company’s MAX software platform is used to power autonomous robots as well as self-driving cars. WillowTree Apps is making a name for itself in the world of chatbots, and UVA’s students are engineering a satellite that will orbit the Earth. Speaking of “uniquely Charlottesville,” grocery store bars have become a new trend, complete with specials and regular patrons. We took a seat at the bar at Harris Teeter, Whole Foods and Wegmans to crown a winner (p. 35). Sipping an IPA while I contemplate my shopping list? I’m so there.—Jessica Luck

T I C K E T S O N S A L E N OW AT VAC R A F T B R E W E R S F E S T. CO M
Non-violence is the answer I confronted a KKK person in 1982 in Fayetteville, Georgia. He was handing out leaflets at an intersection and I was so shocked I got out of my car and told him that all people were created equal and that what he was doing was wrong. I was alone in a south Georgia small town. Our conversation ended with him threating me that he would find out where I lived and I’d be sorry. I felt like I was in a minority there. My father-in-law marched in Montgomery, Alabama, with Martin Luther King in a protective circle of 12 clergypeople from around the country. Their lives were in great danger from the KKK and they had to be hidden in basements. They were in agreement to use non-violent methods of civil disobedience, and that took a lot of training. Innocent lives were lost. Racism, demonization of those different than us and hatred has grown exponentially in this country since that time. Large violent confrontations break out in response to perceived injustices, many wellfounded. Some angry protesters target police, burn and loot, while others stage non-violent protests. Non-violent protesters are also targeted unjustly, as witnessed at Standing Rock last winter. One thousand people is a large crowd for July’s KKK march. Like it or not, the KKK have a right to free speech and to demonstrate. They came to stir up hatred. The crowd that attended came for different reasons and from different groups, most of them in opposition to the message of the KKK and their presence in our town. With generations of simmering frustrations coming to a head, the day held a potential for violence. That is why a strong police presence was so necessary. We will never know what their presence may have prevented from happening that day. I was not there, and did not see exactly why tear gas was used in the moment that it was. Their decision to do so will be closely scrutinized. I do know that police themselves are in danger of being targeted and attacked every day in every state as they put their lives on the line for us. All lives matter. I can see from many perspectives that day, but we all must take the higher road of non-violence and not lower ourselves to the shallows where the bigots dwell. What can we all do to protect and to keep our protesters and our police safe on August 12 while letting the world know that we do not condone what the KKK represents? Sandy Riddle Bisdee Madison County

Last week’s story “A neighborhood divided: Proposed regs in Woolen Mills still controversial” has been updated online to clarify that the initial poll done by the Woolen Mills Neighborhood Association in May 2016 showed that 94 percent of Woolen Mills affected property owners who responded supported the conservation district.

Teacher in custody Longtime Charlottesville High School environmental sciences educator Rick Wellbeloved-Stone, 56, was arrested July 27 for possessing child pornography. Police Captain Gary Pleasants says the victim is younger than high school-age and the photos were taken in a school setting without the victim’s knowledge. Wellbeloved-Stone’s employment has been suspended and police suggest federal charges could follow.

Four city police officers prevented a 21-yearold man from jumping off the Market Street Parking Garage last weekend. Officer Jose Sanchez positioned himself out of sight behind the man and pulled him to safety after the man said, “Tell my mom I’m sorry,” to someone on his cell phone, hung up and began scooting to the ledge of the five-story garage.

Bad for business By Lisa Provence lisa@c-ville.com

Rapture owner Mike Rodi says the mood among downtown businesses owners is somewhat fearful and that they anticipate the August 12 Unite the Right rally could be a “bloodbath.”
“I am coming to Charlottesville to stand against white supremacy and bear witness to love and justice,” says West. At a July 31 press conference, local pastors said those answering the call for direct, nonviolent action realize this is a “critical moment for our country,” says organizer Brittany Caine-Conley. The religious group is planning prayers throughout the August 11-13 weekend, including a mass interfaith service at 8pm August 11 at St. Paul’s Memorial Church, and 6am and noon prayers in the park. And the clergy isn’t the only group that’s put out a call for support. Black Lives Mat-
ter is urging activists nationwide to say “#NoNewKKK” and Showing Up for Racial Justice wants supporters to #DefendCville. The National Lawyers Guild has held legal observer training, and Legal Aid Justice Center will have a session on Protests, Police and Your Rights August 7. SURJ has a local attorney advising on Know the Process: Arrest/Court 101 August 8 and scheduled nonviolent direct action training August 10. Kessler did not respond to C-VILLE’s inquiries about the port-a-let situation, but according to Dickler, three have been requested for the anticipated thousands who will attend the rally.

COVERAGE DENIED: INSURANCE FOR RALLY CANCELED coverage (with the locality named as an additional insured) if a public street is blocked off. Additionally, the certificate of insurance provided to the city was altered and some standard language was stricken. Markel’s agents who sell this type of policy are prohibited from rewriting the policy, and Virginia law says a certificate of insurance can’t be altered unless the policy has also been changed to match that wording, says the local expert. Under the section marked “Certificate Holder,” rather than listing the City of Charlottesville and the address of City Hall, Kessler made Lee Park the certificate holder and gives the physical address of the park as the address to which any notice of cancellation should be mailed. No mailbox or office exists in Lee Park, which has since been renamed Emancipation Park. Kessler would not confirm or deny the cancellation of his insurance policy, but maintains no coverage is required. “I was never legally required to obtain insurance for the event,” Kessler says by email. “Demonstrations are not required to have insurance because it would be an undue burden on First Amendment expression. I got it anyway to help lower the risk for the city.”—Jackson Landers

that insurance company and it didn’t seem very likely to me that they would knowingly insure an event like the one that was supposed to happen on August 12th. ...I provided [Markel] with a copy of the certificate. I provided them with details about what the actual event was and suggested that they might want to look into it.” In an email provided to C-VILLE, a representative of the company indicated that an increase in risk will now lead to cancellation of the policy. Factors that increased the liability risk of Kessler’s rally since the policy was issued include plans for thousands of people to attend rather than the 400 that Kessler indicated in his permit application, as well as his announcement that the Warlocks, a “1%” motorcycle gang, will be providing security for the event, according to C-VILLE’s source. Chapters of the Warlocks have been investigated by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies and charged with multiple counts of murder, drug and weapons charges, and possession of stolen property. The increased number of attendees is likely to exceed the park’s capacity to hold them, and city police closed surrounding streets for the smaller KKK rally July 8. A state law requires event organizers to provide proof of liability

White nationalist-event organizer Jason Kessler obtained a special event insurance policy for his Unite the Right rally planned for August 12 in Emancipation Park, although the city does not require one for demonstrations. Good thing for Kessler, because newly uncovered problems with the insurance policy and with the certificate issued as proof of it have apparently led to cancellation of the policy. Kessler obtained a one-day liability policy online from East Main Street Insurance Services in Grass Valley, California. Kessler’s event, which will include white nationalists such as Richard Spencer, anti-Semitic speakers like the Traditionalist Worker Party’s Matt Heimbach and attendees including the National Socialist Movement, was described as an “outdoor meeting” for underwriting purposes. C-VILLE Weekly obtained a copy of Kessler’s certificate of insurance on file in City Hall and spoke with an insurance professional who has reviewed it and discussed it with the insurer. The expert spoke with us on the condition of not being publicly named. The certificate identifies the insurance provider as Evanston Insurance, “which is part of the Markel group,” says the insurance professional, “and I know people at

s Charlottesville braces for an influx of alt-white nationalists, 43 business owners have demanded the city enforce its regulations for special events, pastors are calling for 1,000 faithful around the nation to stand with them and the Central Library has announced it will close August 12 for the Unite the Right rally in next-door Emancipation Park. Organizer Jason Kessler has applied for a permit for his March on Charlottesville, but a lot of questions are unanswered about whether the five-hour demonstration from noon to 5pm to protest the removal of the statue of General Robert E. Lee is an exercise in free speech or a special event that requires insurance—and a place for protesters and counter-protesters to go to the bathroom. City spokesperson Miriam Dickler says she expects Kessler’s permit to be approved this week, and notes that as a constitutionally protected demonstration, liability insurance is not required. (See story below.) On his permit application, Kessler said 400 would attend the rally, but in other media, he’s said thousands would attend, and groups like the National Socialist Movement have RSVPed on social media. Kessler also checked the no-amplification box on his application, but he mocked the KKK for showing up July 8 without amplification. During a press conference surrounded by his security detail, the Warlocks
Motorcycle Club, he said there would be music at his event. “Just having a musician does not make it a special event,” says Dickler. Downtown business owners sent a letter July 27 to police, fire and parks and rec chiefs, as well as the Virginia Department of Health, saying the event poses a “significant risk to people and property” and will result in a major loss of revenue if the city doesn’t enforce its regulations. “The mood is somewhat fearful,” says Rapture owner Mike Rodi. “We anticipate this could be a bloodbath.” A lot of businesses are weighing whether to close, and police officers have suggested doing just that to nervous proprietors, according to the letter. “Most retailers lost $2,000 in revenues from the KKK,” says Escafé owner Todd Howard. “We’re losing money based on choices of Charlottesville administrators.” “There are a lot of unknowns,” says Rodi. On the Saturday night after the KKK rally, his business lost $4,000, he says. Rodi is undecided about whether Rapture will be open August 12. “If this summer hadn’t been the worst ever, it would be a good time to go to the beach,” he says. Too many weekends with people posting on Facebook to stay away from downtown have been “heartbreaking,” he says. Congregate C’Ville issued a call for 1,000 clergy and faith leaders to join them in standing up to hate, and say nationally prominent figures like Cornel West and Traci Blackmon plan to attend.

Immune system Weiner sues Lunsford for prosecutorial misconduct By Lisa Provence lisa@c-ville.com
STAFF PHOTOS
T
Then-Commonwealth’s Attorney Denise Lunsford talks with reporters outside of the Albemarle Circuit Court after Mark Weiner’s sentencing was delayed in July 2014. Mark Weiner exits the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail in July 2015 after he spent more than two years in jail for a crime he says never took place.
The complaint did not specify monetary damages but Keyes says, “Mark spent over two years in prison. We’re talking substantial damages.” Lunsford sent a statement through her Richmond McGuireWoods attorney and says she conducted her duties as commonwealth’s attorney “diligently, ethically, and to the best of my abilities.” She says she’s proud of her service in protecting the interests of justice and safety in the community. “As a private citizen now, I intend to defend my personal and professional reputation in court, and not in the press,” says Lunsford. Tracci issued his own statement: “Because the office I serve is named in this suit, I will reply to its merits when appropriate and in due course. Without speaking to the merits of this suit, my personal views concerning the handling of the Mark Weiner case are
widely known and a matter of crystal clear record.” Experts say prosecutorial immunity will be a tough hurdle for Weiner to overcome. “The main legal obstacle to holding prosecutors accountable for misconduct that leads to wrongful convictions is that they have absolute immunity for civil damages for their lawyering in the courtroom,” says UVA Law’s Brandon Garrett. It’s even harder to know if prosecutors concealed evidence of innocence “because in states like Virginia, they need turn over so little of what is in their files,” he adds. Steve Rosenfield was an attorney in one of the few successful civil suits waged in a wrongful conviction, in which his client, Earl Washington Jr., came within nine days of execution. Rosenfield says Weiner “is on solid footing morally. Legally, he’s likely to run into serious barriers.”
Deirdre Enright heads UVA’s Innocence Project Clinic, and three years ago she said Weiner’s case “had all the earmarks of a bad case because it didn’t make sense.” Immunity makes prosecutors and police “Teflon to meaningful consequences,” even though their misconduct is a leading cause of wrongful convictions, she says. “The average citizen will pay a fine for a broken taillight, but most prosecutors won’t pay a dime for their role in wrongfully convicting someone, however nefarious their conduct.” Keyes says Lunsford proceeded to prosecute “despite clear evidence that contradicted [Steiniger’s] story. Most egregious, he says, was that it appears “the prosecutor was thinking her sole role was to secure a conviction when in reality a prosecutor’s job is to secure justice.”

he man who was convicted of abduction with intent to defile and who spent two-and-a-half years in jail before the alleged victim’s story fell apart filed suit July 14 against the former commonwealth’s attorney who prosecuted him. Mark Weiner, now living in Maryland, filed a civil lawsuit in federal court July 14— exactly two years after the day he was released from jail—against Albemarle County, the commonwealth’s attorney office and Denise Lunsford. In December 2012, former Food Lion manager Weiner offered a ride to then-20year-old Chelsea Steiniger, whose boyfriend had refused to let her spend the night. Steiniger claimed that Weiner put a cloth over her face with a mysterious agent that rendered her unconscious, used her phone to send taunting texts to her beau, and that she awakened in an abandoned house on Richmond Road, where she grabbed her phone, leaped off a second floor deck and escaped. After Weiner was convicted in May 2013, his lawyer complained that Lunsford prevented him from entering exculpatory cell tower records that showed Steiniger was likely at her mother’s house. The case became a national story and was a major factor in Lunsford’s unsuccessful bid for a third term in the November 2015 election, when Republican Robert Tracci unseated her. Weiner’s civil attorney, Barton Keyes, is a member of a wrongful conviction practice in Columbus, Ohio. Despite the formidable immunity Lunsford had as prosecutor, Keyes says, “We think in this case, the circumstances will let us hold her accountable.”

he Federal Energy Regulatory Commission released its final environmental impact statement for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline July 21, and it said the proposed 600-mile, $5.5 billion natural gas pipeline will have a “less than significant” impact on the environment. “The [final environmental impact statement] paints a terrifying picture of a bleak future,” says Ernie Reed, the president of anti-pipeline group Friends of Nelson. According to Reed, the ACP will eliminate almost 5,000 acres of interior forest habitat and destroy 200 acres of national forests and nearly 2,000 waterbody crossings along its path from West Virginia to North Carolina. “And all this to give Dominion and Duke Energy enough gas to burn our way into hell,” he adds. Dominion Energy and Duke Energy are the major companies backing the ACP. Also on July 21, the U.S. Forest Service released a draft of the record of decision, which said the ACP “can be implemented with limited adverse impacts,” and, in its final form, will authorize the use and occupancy of National Forest System land for the ACP through the George Washington and Monongahela national forests. Environmentalists allege that the documents fail to depict the pipeline’s true effects, and that some biological evaluations, road analyses and consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are incomplete. “It is interesting that this decision was made by the regional foresters in offices hundreds of miles away from these forests,” says Reed. “No one who has stepped foot in these forests could ever come to such a delusional conclusion.” FERC found that the ACP could negatively impact seven endangered species: the
Indiana bat, northern long-eared bat, Roanoke logperch, Madison Cave isopod, clubshell mussel, running buffalo clover and small whorled pogonia. “It is outrageous that the Forest Service would sign off on a scheme like this with the full knowledge that it will harm endangered species,” says Misty Boos, executive director of environmental group Wild Virginia, which has also been vocal in its opposition to the pipeline. She says FERC’s final environmental impact statement and the Forest Service’s record of decisions “make it clear that we cannot rely on the federal government to protect our forests and drinking water,” and that the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality has the authority to reverse the two groups’ decisions. “All eyes are on the DEQ in the coming weeks,” Boos says. “They must do what the feds have not and choose our safety over private profits.” Wild Virginia will submit a formal objection to the draft record of decision, and “litigation is certain to follow,” according to a press release. Dominion continues to assert that its pipeline will be safe for all. “Over the last three years, we’ve taken unprecedented steps to protect environmental resources and minimize impacts on landowners,” says Leslie Hartz, Dominion Energy’s vice president of engineering and construction. She says her team has made more than 300 route adjustments to avoid environmentally sensitive areas. “In many areas of the project, we’ve adopted some of the most protective construction methods that have ever been used by the industry.” Construction on the pipeline could begin by the end of the year, according to Dominion.
The Atlantic Coast Pipeline could run through these Nelson County mountains.

t’s one thing to seek refuge on Twitter if you’re the sort of the sour-toothed administration official who can’t take a joke. It’s another to drag someone through the courts for the offense of laughing at you. And yet, that is exactly what happened to Loudoun County resident Desiree Fairooz after she chortled during Jeff Sessions’ attorney general confirmation hearing. Back then, Sessions couldn’t have imagined that his issue—a history of unreconstructed homophobia and bigotry that brought activists out on January 10— would rapidly pale next to the public flogging by his boss. Strange days! A longtime Code Pink activist, Fairooz, 61, had been arrested previously—she famously confronted Condeleezza Rice in 2007 with “blood” painted on her hands— but going to trial for involuntary laughter was a first. Last month, a D.C. Superior Court judge overturned Fairooz’s guilty verdict on charges of disorderly and disruptive conduct and ordered a retrial. Laughing does not alone constitute grounds for a conviction, he said. It takes fortitude to be an activist, let alone a laughing resister—especially in the face of the current administration’s obscenities and its appetite for punishment. But if Fairooz’s example demonstrates anything, it’s that law enforcement and government are irritated, if not downright befuddled, by humor. The president long ago established his inability to take a joke. Perhaps that’s true of his base, too. In the spirit of pussy hats, it’s fitting to consider the soft arts of counter-protest as August 12 approaches. The KKK, the alt-right and apparently the local and state police forces come to a demonstration expecting to meet anger and recrimination. They are literally armed for it. But what if they encounter instead humor, theater, even song and dance? Talk about disrupting the gears!
Look at, for example, Gays Against Guns. Following the Pulse nightclub massacre, they tackled a deadly serious issue with facts, figures and persistence. And, when necessary, sing-alongs. In February, I ran into GaG for the first time when a gorgeous assembly of drag queens, majorettes, mothers, brothers, sisters and fathers fell together in Greenwich Village to protest the new administration. Following along in the GaG Reflex Songbook, hundreds of folks sang this to the tune of Frosty, the Snowman: Donny the con man / Was a nasty, hateful soul / Just an angry man with a sprayon tan / Telling lies about clean coal / Donny the con man / Did a job Election Day / Telling old white men / They’d be great again / If they’d let him have his way. As far as I know, no one was arrested for singing. But imagine the courtroom absurdities that could unfold if someone had been. Going a step further, activists can take inspiration from No. 45’s hateful statement last week that transgender Americans are unwelcome in the military. Given the conservative right’s immediate embrace of that position, the next protest is clear: Kiss-in! Yes, Virginia, it’s time to stage a radical, everyone’s invited, bring-your-ChapStick kiss-in. Is Richard Spencer coming to town? Wave and blow him a juicy one! Grab your Nana, your yogi, your National Guardsman, your dog-walker and pucker up! Let’s see boys on boys, girls on girls, queers on straights, Latinos on whites, Muslims on Jews, cats on dogs—you get the picture. These are dark days, yes, and it’s up to those who care about small-L liberal values of justice, harmony and free expression to keep the lights on. Illuminate the dangers, we certainly must. Let’s find ways to do that without dampening our spirits. Laughing, singing, smooching—it’s a start.

or years, Charlottesville has been quietly becoming a leading tech hub in Virginia and on the East Coast. Meet three of the businesses and programs that are spearheading the charge into the growing field of robotics.
Perrone Robotics
Crozet residents are aware that big things are happening in their town. Foremost among these has been Perrone Robotics Inc.’s move to invest in the construction of a new multimillion-dollar downtown complex. While the logistics of the project are still being hashed out—for instance, an estimated $3.15 million in funding for Crozet Plaza, a central park and greenspace, has yet to be secured—in December 2016, PRI struck a deal with developer Milestone Partners and, in early July, cut the red ribbon on a temporary 5,000-square-foot office and testing facility located on the site of the proposed construction. Once the plaza goes in, and surrounding offices, residential apartments and restaurants are installed, Perrone plans to build a permanent office and testing facility. What’s significant about this move? PRI is bringing top-tier Silicone Valley innovation to the Charlottesville area. Positioned at the forefront of the autonomous car revolution, PRI is seeking to play a key role nationally and globally in its development and implementation. “It’s not often that you get the opportunity to go to work for a company that’s doing things this exciting, and is located in an area that’s this beautiful,” says Chief Operating Officer Greg Scharer. For PRI founder Paul Perrone, that’s exactly the point. Contrary to the volatility of the Silicon Valley workplace—where talented employees are constantly jumping ship, chasing the highest bidder—Perrone has built a company culture devoted to long-term stability and family values. “The people that come to work for us are some of the best and brightest in the world,” he says. “We want them to be invested in the company’s future, love where they live and feel confident they can raise their families in this community.” With its proximity to the mountains and Charlottesville, Perrone says Crozet is a perfect fit. But what exactly does PRI do? “A little over 14 years ago, we started building software that makes autonomous cars work,” says Scharer, who explains that PRI’s flagship product MAX—which stands for Mobile Autonomous X—is to autonomous vehicles what Android is to smartphones, or Windows is to computers. “Basically, it’s a software platform that we use to build other software,” he says. Think of it like a foundation, or set of tools that lets you put together a house more swiftly. Just, in the case of MAX, you’re building software applications. “MAX saves programmers time and energy because they don’t have to rebuild things they’d otherwise have to make over and over again when creating applications, and this capability is what allows for hardware independence.” Using MAX, PRI can integrate sensors, controls, algorithms, computer platforms and more. In other words, everything you need to run a fully autonomous vehicle.
Growth area Thirteen years ago, Paul Perrone entered his first self-driving car, Tommy, in the nation’s most prestigious competition for autonomous vehicles: the DARPA Grand Challenge, which is funded by the Defense Advance Research Projects Agency (an arm of the U.S. Department of Defense). Back then the company consisted of little more than a makeshift lab in a basement, a couple of volunteers, Tommy and the MAX software platform. Though Perrone didn’t ultimately take home the $2 million prize, participating in the race paid off in two big ways. First, the grueling 150-mile-long remote and driverless run from Los Angeles to Las Vegas through the Mojave Desert tested

Perrone Robotics CEO Paul Perrone got his start in the field of autonomous vehicles when, in 2004, he entered his first self-driving car, Tommy, into the nation’s most prestigious competition for autonomous vehicles: the DARPA Grand Challenge.
worldwide management consulting firm Boston Consulting Group, by 2035 “12 million fully autonomous units could be sold a year globally, and the market for partially and fully autonomous vehicles is expected to leap from about $42 billion in 2025 to nearly $77 billion in 2035.” The BCG study also says the growth capacity of the autonomous industry is being driven largely by safety considerations, citing a National Highway Safety Administration report stating that, each year, there are 33,000 to 40,000 traffic fatalities in the U.S. alone, with 747 fatal crashes each week. But once autonomous cars are deployed at scale, Perrone claims traffic fatalities will be reduced by 75 percent, almost instantaneously. “With complete standardization, we expect fatalities will drop by another two orders of magnitude,” he says. Moving into the future, both the BCG study and Perrone say autonomy in cars is only going to grow. “We predict that, by 2035, the preponderance of cars will be autonomous—and we’re going to have a major stake in that action,” says Scharer. “We’re working to become the Microsoft of the autonomous car industry. And while that may sound like a lofty goal, it’s one we feel is attainable.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 21

Meanwhile, the company has added a couple new executives, and has grown to 17 employees. The founder of Atari, inventor of Pong, and renown tech start-up guru Nolan Bushnell has joined PRI’s governing board. James Gosling, creator of the Java programming language, recently joined the board of advisers. And starting this year, PRI will add between five and 15 new positions a year for the next five years and may have upward of 120 employees based in Crozet as soon as 2022. “These jobs will be top-tier. We’ll be bringing in highly educated, highly skilled employees,” says Perrone. According to Scharer, these people bring experience and industry know-how to the table, which he says will be invaluable as the company scales up. “Nolan’s been in the IT industry since the beginning and has a proven record of taking technology in its early stages and creating a productive business around it,” he says. “And James is considered a guru in the coding community—I can’t tell you how great it is to have these guys to bounce ideas around with.” Considering PRI’s pioneer patent for MAX, and the fact that players such as Google, Uber, Tesla, Volvo, Ford and at least 13 other automakers have committed or implied they’ll make fully autonomous vehicles available by 2020, PRI’s future looks lucrative. According to a study conducted by
August 2 – 8, 2017 c-ville.com
MAX’s real-world capabilities. Second, and perhaps more importantly, after being selected as one of just 40 teams to compete in the contest, Tommy’s performance against what Perrone describes as an “infinitely better-funded field” sowed the seeds for PRI’s expansion. The company quickly became a leader in the then-nascent field of autonomous vehicles. However, for the next 12 years, growth was relatively slow. That all changed last fall when PRI received a large investment from Wind River Systems, a subsidiary of Intel. Although exact amounts were not disclosed, the money came as part of a $38 million package split between 12 tech companies (not necessarily evenly), which senior vice president Wendell Brooks described in a statement as allocated to the world’s most “visionary entrepreneurs developing breakthrough technologies to transform lives and industries.” According to Perrone, the investment has led to a partnership with Intel, which is enabling PRI to scale up marketing and development for its MAX platform and create new pathways into the global marketplace. “We’ve met with major European auto manufacturers and, while we’re not ready to disclose specifics, we expect to announce a major deal very soon,” says Scharer.

cording to Sirach, for certain businesses or products, CUIs offer an advantage over traditional apps. For example, say you’re chatting with a friend via Facebook Messenger and decide to catch a movie. Only, you don’t know what’s playing at what time or where, much less what a given film is about. “It’s one of those situations where it’d be great to have a person around who knows all the answers and can cater to your needs exactly,” says Sirach. However, that’s not often the case. But what if you could simply access a chatbot within the app and, within a couple of questions, get all the info you need? “What this example illustrates is the type of problem that’s perfect for a CUI to solve.” By the end of the chatbot conversation, not only will you and your friends have decided on a flick, your tickets can be sent directly to you via email, text or natively in the app. “Because the information is provided within the interface you’re already using, you won’t have to download an additional app or pull up a search engine,” says Sirach. Which makes for a much more streamlined and friction-free experience. Moving into the future, Sirach says customized CUIs will offer companies valuable value-added products—and WillowTree tremendous potential for growth. With businesses seeking increasingly engaging interfaces—according to Business Insider, more than half of all apps downloaded are used only once, with usefulness and engagement holding the key to frequent use—he says the chatbot market is ripe for growth because “CUIs enable products and services to be where the users already are.”
University of Virginia Chris Goyne’s students have the good fortune of participating in one of the nation’s most groundbreaking undergraduate spacecraft design courses. Since 2013, the UVA aerospace engineering professor’s students have been working with NASA to design research equipment and crafts that travel into the stratosphere and beyond.
Their current project? A three-pound, softballsized satellite that will spend at least two months orbiting the planet at altitudes equivalent to that of the International Space Station—that is, a minimum of 1,000 orbits at 250 miles above the Earth’s surface. Known as the CubeSat, the vessel is part of a three-satellite group slated to be carried into space in late 2018 by a NASA rocket that will resupply the International Space Station. Although the project is being supervised by UVA students, the other two units are being designed and built by students at Old Dominion University and Virginia Tech. What is the CubeSat’s mission? According to Goyne, the satellite will take measurements from various altitudes for atmospheric density. Once compiled, the data will aide NASA in its efforts to greater understand global atmospheric properties, and how subtleties in the upper atmosphere work to cause drag on orbiting satellites. Equipped with a tiny ultra-high frequency radio, the CubeSat will beam the data it collects to a UVA ground-control station. Meanwhile, the station will transmit instructions to the craft and communicate with other satellites in space. “Our students will have direct control of our spacecraft, gaining valuable firsthand experience in spacecraft operations,” says Goyne. “They’ll also control the data received from the spacecraft and handle its distribution and dissemination.” The first UVA-developed and -operated spacecraft, CubeSat is a multi-year project, and is passed down to succeeding groups of fourth-year engineering students as a capstone project or course. The craft is expected to be completed this fall, with about 100 students working on the project across the three schools. “In essence, [they] are walking in the footsteps of famous NASA programs like the Apollo missions,” says Goyne. “It’s a great opportunity for them to participate in a NASA project with real science and technology investigations, and a special experience for them to design, build, test and ultimately fly a craft that actually goes into space.”

Since its founding in 2007, WillowTree has made a name for itself in the tech world. As a budding provider of mobile strategy, design and development services, the company has blossomed from a handful of entrepreneurs to having more than 200 employees housed in offices located in Charlottesville and Durham, North Carolina. With $13.2 million in revenue in 2015, the company experienced growth of 226 percent in fewer than three years, and in the past five years has received numerous accolades and awards. From 2012 to 2016, Inc. Magazine named WillowTree one of the fastest-growing companies in America. Meanwhile, as one of the fastest-growing businesses in the state, the Virginia Chamber of Commerce has presented it with consecutive Fantastic 50 awards since 2013. In 2015, CEO and founder Tobias Dengel was recognized by SmartCEO as helming one of the nation’s most promising tech companies. And in both 2015 and 2016, WillowTree was awarded International Academy of the Visual Arts Communicator Awards for its work designing mobile apps for Regal Entertainment Group and AOL. According to WillowTree Chief Experience Officer Blake Sirach, the company helps “Fortune 500 companies take advantage of the mobile wave in ways their internal teams and existing consultants cannot. Because of new device capabilities the medium introduces new and near-constant opportunity, and mobile demands designdriven software development, and that’s where we excel. …As we continue to help companies understand the essential role mobile plays in providing a competitive advantage and better engagement with customers, more and more are turning to us to help guide and implement their mobile strategies.” That last statement is no exaggeration. In addition to AOL and Regal, the company’s short list of heavy-hitting clients includes GE, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Johnson & Johnson, Time Warner, AEG, Wyndham and Harvard Business Publishing. Most recently, WillowTree’s work in the growing field of chatbots—or conversational user interfaces—has been garnering tremendous attention. “A chatbot is basically an interface that can hold a conversation with a user via auditory or textual methods,” says Sirach. Designed to simulate human conversation, the bots are used for tasks such as customer service, trouble-shooting and WillowTree’s chatbots are information acquisition. Acdesigned to simulate human

TUNES
Pop, rock, and roll
Good (Chapter)
Impossible Dream (Hozac) More lo-fi here, sounding less like diffident indie and more like horny pub rock with an American accent. The Rubs is the project of Chicago’s Joey Rubbish, who’s fluent in the sounds of Marshall Crenshaw and Dave Edmunds, as well as newer practitioners like Outrageous Cherry. Rubbish played every note on the album, and produced the thing to boot. It’s not as unbridled as Rubbish’s previous
Still Bewitched (Flying Nun) Hailing from the heralded 1980s Dunedin, New Zealand, scene, Look Blue Go Purple produced three EPs from 19851988. This one-disc anthology neatly collects the band’s recorded output and adds live versions of eight unreleased songs. While the female quintet’s signature tune—the beloved “Cactus Cat”—replicated the poppy jangle and easy melodies of The Clean and The Chills, the bulk of LBGP’s output had the mysterious murk of Fables-era R.E.M., with tom-heavy drums and pervasive flute parts. The results are endearing, often mesmerizing, and still sound fresh three decades later.
Helium Ends With And (Matador) I missed Helium in their mid-’90s heyday, even as friends stuck photos of bandleader Mary Timony on their fridge with captions like “Lick my boots, minion!” This welcome compilation comprises singles, demos, EPs and unreleased tracks, providing an overview of the band while leaving
Tomorrow Forever (Honeycomb Hideaway) With the Kickstarter-funded Tomorrow Forever, Matthew Sweet returns with his first new material since 2011. It carries the usual Sweet flavor of melodic, mid-tempo rock, with power-pop royalty along for the ride, including Debbi Petersen (The Bangles) and Rod Argent (The Zombies)— along with The Jayhawks’ Gary Louris, who lays down nice guitar solos on “Pretty Please” and “Country Girl,” two of the album’s gems. Sweet’s nasal vocals are in full, somewhat grating effect, and Tomorrow Forever is a tiring hour. With 19 songs, he might have saved some for the next album, but Sweet wanted to give his supporters what they paid for—and threw in 21 demos for his earliest backers. The issue isn’t quantity.—Nick Rubin

aside the LPs for future discovery. And discovery is the word; I’m enthralled. Starting from a base of rumbling, minimal, cinematic indie, Helium expands over time—the sludgy psychedelia of “Fantastic Castle,” the perfect lofi pop of “Leon’s Space Song,” the Kraftwerk-y “Golden Bridge”—while Timony supplies endlessly inventive peals of guitar and conveys menace and naiveté simultaneously while tossing off perfect lines like “You don’t get it / ’cause it gets you.” Righteous.

The Stevens are from Melbourne, Australia, sharing a member with Twerps and sounding pretty similar. They invoke classic Aussie/New Zealand indie heroes like The Clean, cut with Pavement and Guided by Voices (and on “Purple and Grey,” Syd Barrett). It’s almost suspicious how effortlessly the 18 songs on Good unfold, but they’re deceptively wellwrought, and so endearing you end up wondering: Why do other bands try so hard? If obvious singles, clear enunciation and shiny production are your things, you should probably keep walking. But if you’re down with brief songs sporting sneakily catchy melodies and Malkmus-y solos, you might wanna hang with Good for a while.
outing, The Rubs Are Trash, but Impossible Dream is a muddy stomper of a bedroom record, and the surprisingly touching title track is the cherry on top.

or fine artist Caroline Nelson, a person’s face speaks volumes. “The smallest details, the wrinkles and the pores, are very telling,” she says. “There are people who I see and I immediately want to paint them. It can be their eyes or their skin tone, but there’s always something that I’m drawn to.” Her large-scale portraits, currently on display at WriterHouse through August 31, feature luminous eyes, vibrant skin and shadows, people whose faces are splashed by water (and whose expressions are, frankly, priceless). “I love doing faces because I see them as someone’s identity,” she says. “I’ve never been drawn to doing landscapes or abstract works because a face can tell you so much without reading anything about it.” Though she’s only a sophomore at Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts, Nelson has been creating oil paintings for the last five years. She spent years painting her family members. “I am one of six siblings, so I have a lot to choose from,” she says. “Plus, my family was accessible. Like, ‘I’m going to splash you in the face with water, and you have to deal with it because you’re family and it’s for art.’” Now a double major in sculpture and extended media and painting and printmaking at VCU, Nelson explores different methods of art making, though her work tends to revolve around realism and the richness and vibrancy of oil paint. “I love the texture [of oil]. You can use varnish and glazes and make it really smooth. You can go as thick as you want. You can have that look that Leonardo da Vinci got because as it builds up, it looks
like it’s glowing,” she says. “I have paintings that won’t dry for three months because I’ve laid it on so thick.” In addition to experimentation in her studio, Nelson learns about glazing and layering as a decorative artist with Warnock Studio in Richmond, an ornamental painting studio that creates home murals and paintings on marble. She also researches classical art techniques, drawing from Rococo and Baroque styles to complement the contemporary training she receives at VCU. These days, she’s focused on expressing personality through portraiture. “People who have distinct life experiences, and it can show on their faces. Maybe they have dark times in their lives, and my work can reflect that,” she says. Describing “Maddie II,” a portrait of her older sister, she explains her choice of a dramatic light change to highlight the duality of human personality. “[‘Maddie II’] isn’t specifically about the subject,” Nelson says. “Her face is really expressionless, which is what I wanted to go for. I wanted the color and tone to speak for itself. Because there’s a side to your face most people don’t see, a very vulnerable dark side that is typically hidden. It’s common for people to smile instead of opening up and expressing how they really feel.” She considers it “a huge privilege” to be able to capture someone’s identity on canvas. “I am in awe of people who say, ‘You can paint a picture of me and show every blemish.’ That takes courage,” she says. “I never want to paint myself. Portraits are a way for me to express myself through other people.” Nelson says she’s really comfortable with some parts of herself—and not so much with others. After all, she points out, “I’m still trying to find myself. I’m only a sophomore in college.”

I spy Atomic Blonde has obvious twists By Kristofer Jenson arts@c-ville.com

Charlize Theron plays MI6 agent Lorraine Broughton in Atomic Blonde, which is both breathlessly tense and sometimes a chore.
sentation, the perfect antidote to that glut of revenge yarns starring men in their 50s. All in all, Atomic Blonde succeeds in doing so, but only partially. When the pieces all work together, it has the power to be as breathlessly tense as the aforementioned films while remaining committed to its atmosphere. When it loses its way—focusing too much on the plot that is neither interesting nor terribly logical, the occasional stylistic incongruity or just making the audience wait too long for the good stuff—it can be quite a chore. The story follows MI6 agent Lorraine Broughton (Theron) as she is sent to East Berlin in 1989 to recover a watch that contains a list of secret agents and their identities. When she arrives, the convergence of superpowers fighting for the package amid
the collapse of an entire nation makes this operation more dangerous, and alliances even more slippery. Her main contact in the East, David Percival (James McAvoy), for example, has been living this life so long— clandestine operations, cutting deals, making friends on all sides—that even he does not seem aware of where his allegiances lay. There are two deadly sins already built into the screenplay for Atomic Blonde: The whole thing is told in an interrogation, and every character is introduced with far too much of a telling wink. The rest of the movie is then condemned to play out twists that any savvy viewer could see from miles away, all while the interrogators fail in their jobs as audience surrogates by skipping the questions we actually do want answers to.

The action is satisfying, and the characters believably fight like they have received extensive training yet are constrained by real-world problems such as fatigue and internal bleeding. There are too few scenes that showcase Theron’s skill as a physical actor, though there is one extended sequence in an apartment block that is worth the price of admission. Scenes like these are the one and only reason to recommend Atomic Blonde and perhaps hope for a sequel—or, at the very least, a significant role in John Wick: Chapter 3.

hether it gets the acknowledgment it deserves, we are currently in what might be called a golden age of action filmmaking. Aside from the superhero flicks that seem to be holding the industry afloat, the last few years have seen sea changes in the genre’s presence in the culture. There are the high-profile blockbusters like Mad Max: Fury Road, Snowpiercer, even Fast & Furious 6, which have brought new life, techniques and emotions to what a vehicular set piece can be. Many dramatic actors have found new callings later in life as physical forces of nature, such as the increasingly impressive output of Keanu Reeves or the still-insane stunts by Tom Cruise. On a smaller scale, Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver brought many conventions from the ’60s and ’70s car-chase films to new audiences while still feeling fresh in its own right. Carrying on that tradition, Atomic Blonde was supposed to be the great uniting of two powerful forces in this recent genre revolution. Charlize Theron was the dramatic core of perhaps the greatest action film of all time in Mad Max: Fury Road, while David Leitch has transitioned from one of Hollywood’s most sought-after stuntmen to fully formed director in his own right, beginning with John Wick, co-directed by Chad Stahelski. While Stahelski made the gorgeous and ceaselessly entertaining John Wick: Chapter 2, Leitch and Theron have combined their respective skills to make an atmospheric film that continues the recent strides in style while also striking a blow for gender repre-

COURTESY OF ARTIST
Jefferson School African American Heritage Center 233 Fourth St. NW. “Private Spaces,” featuring a collection of personal images—this time taken on an iPhone instead of with extensive equipment—by professional photographer Yolonda Coles Jones. noon-6pm.
Sperryville artist Adam Disbrow isn’t interested in mimicking realism; after all, “a camera can do that,” he writes in an email. Instead, he communicates with his audience through abstract, minimalistic images, using layers of objective symbols to create a wholly subjective piece of art. His latest exhibition, opening at the Music Resource Center on August 4, approaches a concept that’s as subjective as it gets: the perception of beauty. “A Portrait of Beauty” is a series of starkly simple paintings that explores the superficial draw toward beautiful things that defines us as humans. The first portrait in the series, the show’s namesake, pares down a female profile to just thick black hair, an extended hand, a single eye and a pair of red, red lips. Even with just these basic features, she still has something to say to the viewer. “I believe in the power of symbols as a medium to convey feelings and information,” says Disbrow.—Julia Stumbaugh

can be rung up while you sip a pint of beer or a glass of wine (the bar does not offer liquor). “I just switched grocery stores,” Jeff declared. Reluctantly, we pushed off to Whole Foods. The bar at Whole Foods was built with better materials and décor than the one at Harris Teeter. And our bartender, Brenden, was knowledgeable and helpful. But it wasn’t the same kind of place.

A
s competition has grown among Charlottesville’s high-end grocery stores, a trend has emerged of adding bars. I’ve walked past these odd grocery store bars countless times but it has never occurred to me to pull up a stool and order a glass of beer before picking up milk and vegetables. Which invites the questions: Who in the heck goes to a grocery store bar—and why do they do it? An investigation was needed. A Saturday night pub crawl, in which I was determined to drink beer at three area grocery store bars, ensued. I enlisted the help of a few friends: Jeff Diehm, Jeff ’s girlfriend, Sierra Hammons, and Colleen Buchanan, our designated driver. The bar at the Barracks Road Harris Teeter is tucked in along the wall behind the wine section, at the front end of the store. It’s easy to miss. Three patrons were perched atop bar stools as we approached. A baseball game was playing on a large TV and six taps stood near a wide selection of bottled beer. If you look straight ahead, it kind of feels like a normal bar. Turn around and you’ll see, well, a grocery store. When we saw the prices, it started to feel less like a normal bar—in a good way. All six draft beers are $4 a pint, all the time. Bottles are $3—and that isn’t just Bud Light. Three bucks will get you a bottle of nearly any of the hundreds of 12-ounce bottled beers that Harris Teeter carries. “We have really good prices and really good food here,” said Charles, our bartender. Charles was right. It turns out that you can buy any prepared food from the deli section and bring it over to the bar to eat. Not only can you do this, but they encourage it: You get $1 off your beer with the purchase of a prepared food item. There is no other bar in Charlottesville where you can eat and drink at these prices. The taps from Three Notch’d and Starr Hill cost less for a pint than at those breweries. A woman walked over with, inexplicably, a basket of laundry and a dog. She ordered a beer and began chatting with another patron. Even at the grocery store, bars have colorful regulars. Jeff got up, grabbed a bag of pretzels from the snack aisle and opened them on the bar. Charles scanned them and added them to our tab. In fact, your whole cart of groceries
“On Friday nights, you get a lot of single people with pizza for one who stop here for a drink before going home,” a woman seated at the bar told me. “It’s like their moment of feeling like they’ve interacted with the world.” An eight-ounce pour of a beer called Dragon’s Milk cost $8. That set the tone for the rest of the tap list, which isn’t cheap. But Whole Foods does have a barroom edge most customers probably don’t know about: They’ll honor a growler from anyone. We felt a sense of being physically in the way at the Whole Foods bar. Repeatedly, shoppers with carts and baskets mumbled a “pardon me” as they pushed past us. The traffic flow discouraged us from lingering, but Whole Foods does have its own set of regulars, some who stop by every day. Duly restrained, we moved on to our final stop of the night: Wegmans. The Charlottesville Wegmans dropped in last year like a fortress of food. You measure that place in acres, not square feet. And it set aside a corner of that acreage for a bar and restaurant called The Pub. The space feels luxurious compared with other grocery store bars. “This is basically an airport bar with different things rolling by on wheels,” Jeff observed. Wegmans went to lengths far beyond Harris Teeter or Whole Foods with a full-service restaurant and bar, including mixed drinks. Sometimes it even has live music. Wegmans has nine taps, mostly between five and six bucks per pint. It has a happy hour from 4-6 pm, Monday through Friday, and $5 appetizers, including mussels and a barbecuebacon burger. We snacked on perfect fresh, raw, salty Chesapeake Bay oysters. Jeff was right. Wegmans bar does feel like an airport bar, but it doesn’t drain your wallet the way a typical airport bar does. I can see how someone who lives nearby might pick this as his neighborhood hangout, and stop by often for a few pints and a burger, or a dozen oysters. “I enjoyed Harris Teeter the most,” Sierra says. “I felt like I was less in the way than at Whole Foods. ...I would definitely go there again to pregame before going downtown where the more expensive beers are.” The unanimous winner of the night was Harris Teeter, for selection, value, food and atmosphere. Charles’ service as bartender sealed the deal. But at any of Charlottesville’s grocery store bars, there is a deal waiting for the adventurous, the weird and the cheap.

Fast food New to-go lunch spot doubles as event space By Alexa Nash eatdrink@c-ville.com
Carpe Donut has gone beyond the cinnamon sugary, cakey confection it’s known
Andy McClure is opening Penny Heart, a lunch spot and small event venue, in the former 11 Months space on the Downtown Mall.
for—all-organic maple, bourbon, vanilla, chocolate, sprinkles, thick-cut antibioticfree bacon and a vanilla cake donut have been added to a sweet new menu that’s being rolled out for the company’s 10th anniversary. Matt Rhodie, Carpe Donut CEO and founder, says the discovery of organic confectioners sugar allowed more experimentation. “I’m trying to expand the identity of Carpe Donut,” Rhodie says. The team has been working on flavors for years, but had to find the right ingredients that align with their ideals. All of the new ingredients are organic and pure, including the sprinkles, which use vegetables for color. “Everybody loves sprinkles, so I had to do it. Kids love them, an embarrassing number
of grown-ups love them, so who am I to deny that?” Rhodie says. Some of the new flavors are available at the Charlottesville City Market on Saturdays, Fridays After Five and at the Carpe Cafe in Studio IX. Rhodie plans to offer a few more flavors, including new combinations, at special events and festivals. “I will not stop experimenting, and we may swap some out,” Rhodie says. “Some glazes may be less interesting than something that’s fruit infused, so I’m open to trying more flavor profiles.”

Gearharts Fine Chocolates has created unique truffles in collaboration with a handful of local breweries, including Devils Backbone Brewing Company, Champion Brewing Company, Hardywood Park Craft Brewery and Alexandria-based Port City Brewing Co., which have their signature beers infused into milk or dark chocolate, along with more delectable ingredients to make up The Virginia Brewers’ Collaboration. “Wine and chocolate go great together, but I’ve always had a soft spot for beer and chocolate,” say Gearharts’ owner Tim Gearhart.
Penny Heart also has room for about 100 guests, and it is fully equipped with audio and visual components for weddings, company meetings or friendly gatherings.

quick to-go bite to eat on the Downtown Mall is sometimes hard find, but Andy McClure, owner of the Virginian Restaurant Company, is making it easier with the opening of Penny Heart, a new lunch spot and small event venue that’s going into the former 11 Months space. “Our fast casual options [on the mall] are very limited,” says McClure when asked about his new eatery, which will serve bowls with fresh, local ingredients and grains. “[Penny Heart] comes from a need and it’s appropriate.” He describes the restaurant as a cross between Chipotle and Sweetgreen, which mixes produce, meats and grains into one bowl, adding that the goal is to use as many local ingredients as possible. The bowls are designed to be taken away, and Penny Heart will also have a bar. The space has room for about 100 guests, and it is fully equipped with audio and visual components for weddings, company meetings or other gatherings. Small, affordable [event] venues are hard to come by, McClure says. “There’s a larger market for that than we realize,” he says, adding that since Penny Heart will only be open from 11am to 4pm, the space will be ready as a venue by 6pm. The anticipated opening date is Aug. 10, and McClure says it will be a quiet, casual grand opening.
bubble tea room, to open shop in Charlottesville. By the end of August, 1001 W. Main St. will be home to trendy Taiwanese tea elixirs with signature tapioca or fruit bubbles at the bottom. Co-owners Kelly Cran and Owen Wang are from Northern Virginia, where bubble tea is everywhere, but they say their Charlottesville store will be the biggest in the world. As for the shop’s offerings, “Passion fruit blew my mind...everything on the menu is mind-blowingly good,” Cran says. Among the other teas on Kung Fu’s top 10 list are strawberry lemon green tea, Kung Fu milk tea, honey green tea and taro slush. The bubbles, or bobas, are then added at the bottom for a chewy, squishy treat to be sucked through a massive straw. Cran says he’s excited to join the Charlottesville community with Kung Fu Tea after multiple career changes. “You have to dabble in everything,” he says.

By Rob Brezsny
LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It has almost become a tradition: Each year at about this time, you seem to enjoy scaring the hell out of yourself, and often the heaven, too. These self-inflicted shocks have often had a beneficial side effect. They have served as rousing prompts for you to reimagine the future. They have motivated and mobilized you. So yes, there has been an apparent method in your madness—an upside to the uproar. What should we expect this time, my dear? A field trip to a crack house or a meth lab? Some fun and games in a pit of snakes? An excursion to the land of bad memories? I suggest something less melodramatic. How about, for example, a frolic with unruly allies in a future paradise that’s still a bit unorganized?
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Before grapes become wine, they have to be cleaned. Then crushed. Then macerated and pressed. The next phase is fermentation, followed by filtering. The aging process, which brings the grapes’ transformation to completion, requires more time than the other steps. At the end, there’s one more stage: putting the wine in bottles. I’d like to compare the grapes’ evolution to the story of your life since your last birthday. You are nearing the end of the aging phase. When that’s finished, I hope you put great care into the bottling. It’s as important as the other steps.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Are you gearing up to promote yourself and your services? In my astrological opinion, you should be. If so, you could put the following testimonial from me in your résumé or advertisement: “[place your name here] is a poised overseer of nerve-wracking transitions and a canny scout who is skilled at tracking down scarce resources. He/she can help you acquire the information and enhancements you don’t quite have the power to get by yourself. When conditions are murky or perplexing, this plucky soul is enterprising and inventive.”
August 2 –8, 2017 c-ville.com
facebook.com/cville.weekly
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your eyes are more powerful than you realize. If you were standing on a mountaintop under a cloudless night sky with no moon, you could see a fire burning
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo actor Robert De Niro once observed that most people devote more energy to concealing their emotions and longings than to revealing them. Is that true about you? If so, the coming weeks will be a favorable time to hide less of yourself and express more. There’ll be relatively little hell to pay as a result, and you’ll get a boost of vitality. Don’t go overboard, though. I’m not suggesting that you unveil every last one of your feelings and yearnings to everyone—just to those you trust. Most importantly, I hope you will unveil all your feelings and yearnings to yourself. 50 miles away. Your imagination is also capable of feats that might surprise you. It can, for example, provide you with an expansive and objective view of your entire life history. I advise you to seek that boost now. Ask your imagination to give you a prolonged look at the big picture of where you have been and where you are going. I think it’s essential to your discovery of the key to the next chapter of your life story.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): August is Good Hard Labor Month for you Pisceans. It’s one of those rare times when a smart version of workaholic behavior might actually make sense. Why? First of all, it could ultimately lead to a pay raise or new perks. Secondly, it may bring to light certain truths about your job that you’ve been unconscious of. Third, it could awaken you to the fact that you haven’t been trying as hard as you could to fulfill one of your long-term dreams; it might expand your capacity to devote yourself passionately to the epic tasks that matter most. For your homework, please meditate on this thought: Summoning your peak effort in the little things will mobilize your peak effort for the Big Thing.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Love is your gritty but sacred duty. It’s your prickly prod and your expansive riddle, your curious joy and your demanding teacher. I’m talking about the whole gamut, Capricorn—from messy personal romantic love to lucid unconditional spiritual love; from asking smartly for what you desire to gratefully giving more than you thought you had. Can you handle this much sweet, dark mystery? Can you grow your intimacy skills fast enough to keep up with the interesting challenges? I think you can.
Aries (March 21-April 19): In my astrological opinion, your life in the coming days should draw inspiration from the ancient Roman festival of Saturnalia, a six-day bout of revelry that encouraged everyone to indulge in pleasure, speak freely and give gifts. Your imminent future could (and I believe should) also have resemblances to the yearly Doo Dah Parade in Pasadena, which features a farcical cavalcade of lunatics, like the Shopping Cart Drill Team, The Radioactive Chicken Heads, the Army of Toy Soldiers and the Men of Leisure Synchronized Nap Team. In other words, Aries, it’s an excellent time to set aside your dignity and put an emphasis on having uninhibited fun; to amuse yourself to the max as you experiment on the frontiers of self-expression; to be the person you would be if you had nothing to lose.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There’s an eclipse of the moon coming up in the sign of Aquarius. Will it bring bad luck or good luck? Ha! That’s a trick question. I threw it in to see if you have been learning anything from my efforts to redeem astrology’s reputation. Although some misinformed people regard my chosen field as a superstitious pseudo-science, I say it’s an imaginative art form that helps us identify and transform our subconscious patterns. So the wise answer to my earlier question is that the imminent lunar eclipse is neither bad luck nor good luck. Rather, it tells you that you have more power than usual to: 1. tame and manage the disruptive and destructive aspects of your instinctual nature; 2. make progress in dissolving your old conditioning; 3. become more skilled at mothering yourself.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): It’s time to reinvent the wheel and rediscover fire, Taurus. In my astrological opinion, you’ll be wasting your time

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Writing in The Futurist magazine, Christopher Wolf says that the tradition of eating three hearty meals per day is fading and will eventually disappear. Grazing will be the operative term for how we get our fill, similar to the method used by cavemen and cavewomen. The first snack after we awaken, Wolf suggests, might be called “daystart.” The ensuing four could be dubbed “pulsebreak,” “humpmunch,” “holdmeal” and “evesnack.” In light of your current astrological omens, Gemini, I endorse a comparable approach to everything you do: not a few big doses, but rather frequent smaller doses; not intense cramming but casual browsing; not sprawling heroic epics but a series of amusing short stories.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): The RIKEN institute in Japan experiments with using ion beams to enhance plant growth. In one notable case, a new breed of cherry tree was created that blossoms four times a year and produces triple the amount of flowers. The blooms last longer, too, and the trees thrive under a wider span of temperatures. In the next 11 months, Cancerian, you won’t need to be flooded with ion beams to experience a similar phenomenon. I expect that your power to bloom and flourish will be far stronger than usual. Expanded weekly audio horoscopes and daily text message horoscopes: RealAstrology.com, 1-877-873-4888.
