The #rainpocalypse that hit on Monday, September 8 threw the entire Valley into a watery panic. Schools were cancelled, highways were shut down and the greenbelt by our south Scottsdale offices on Hayden and Thomas roads was so flooded it started to resemble a lake with its own wave patterns.

Rumors were confirmed that the Duke and Dutchess of Cambridge are expecting their second baby. It never hurts to have a back-up prince or princess. You know… just in case.

3,000 years is how old a bronze sword is, which was discovered by a Chinese boy in a river in the country’s Jiangsu Province. The sword dates back to near the dawn of Chinese civilization. The boy’s father said it would feel illegal to sell the sword, even though many have come forward with generous offers.

is how many football games the Sun Devils have won this season with a 45-14 victory over Weber State and a 58-23 victory at New Mexico. Fork ‘em, Devils!

FIVE is how many inches of rainfall the Valley

received during a monsoon storm between Sunday, September 7 and Monday, September 8 at time of writing. That smashed previous records and resulted in many stranded drivers being rescued from the I-10, which is officially now a river.

is the number of adorable shelter doggies Gilbert resident Shannon Gillette saved from euthanasia following the Green Acre boarding facility tragedy, which left 23 dogs dead—including Gillette’s two golden retrievers. The 72 she saved (more like 80, including a pregnant momma expecting pups) have since been adopted or fostered.

THIRTEEN is how many lactic acid bacteria lie in the guts of bees that could poten-

tially be an antibiotic alternative, according to Lund University in Sweden. Skeptics say the findings might be a false alarm, though, as testing was done on horse subjects and with an extremely small sample size.

A video of the incident has gone viral, showing a young adult being repeatedly kicked in the head as others are being chased.

ASU’s SOS 498: Smart City and Technology Innovation Challenge has students plan our urban future.

ASU course teaches students to build smart cities Jorge Salazar • College Times The future is coming whether we’re ready or not, and a new ASU course is making sure it will be a green one. SOS 498: Smart City and Technology Innovation Challenge puts students up to the task of figuring out how cities can accelerate the adoption of smart technologies to make them more sustainable. “Smart cities are an imperative thing for us to not only understand, but very quickly address and empower and accelerate the adoption and change to,” says Colin Tetreault, former sustainability adviser to Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton and instructor of the course. Tetreault says that with the majority of 2050’s anticipated population of 9.6 billion expected to be living in desert cities, it is important to equip them with the tools and knowledge to create a better future. “There are a lot of solutions out there that have been around for a while, from data to energy efficiency, a whole lot of

gizmos and gadgets,” he says. “The really pressing question that we are attempting to address in this class is ‘how do we accelerate the adoption of technologies and policies in order to enable smarter cities of the future?’” While there is no shortage of courses at ASU’s School of Sustainability, Tetreault says the course is not a run-ofthe-mill lecture. “This is an applied course where students are coming up with real world solutions,” he says. “We’re providing students a hands-on experience, from learning about what a smart city is and how to craft actual entrepreneurial and innovation-based ideas.” The course works in partnership with The Verizon Foundation. Student ideas will be submitted to the foundation for the opportunity to win up to $5,000. The course will also include its fair share of local and national guest speakers, who are experts in entrepreneurship and sustainability, as well as hands-on experiences. “One of the fun things we’re going to

attempt to do is that we’re actually going to take them over to San Francisco for a day or two to show them where they can find a lot of this really incredible city innovation and smart city stuff day in and day out,” Tetreault says. “This is a great experience for the students to see firsthand what a smart city is [and] that’s going to help inform them and inspire them to help come up with solutions.” The course will culminate in the creation of projects, ventures and prototypes addressing the mission of the class. Tetreault says that although the outcomes of the course are great, the tools it’s supplying the students are the real value. “We’re going to make solutions and some of the students may go on to make this a full-time business model,” he says. “But this is also giving every single student a fundamental framework on how to create ideas and put them in a persuasive compelling narrative in order to advance sustainability for the rest of

If you think your non-ASU school is the best, you’re wrong. ASU launched the first ever Starbucks Mobile Truck on its Tempe campus featuring a nearlyfull menu of drinks and food. This caffeinated dreamboat on wheels is the first truck of three to roll out across the country on different college campuses. Starbucks executives say they plan to modify store hours on these trucks to accommodate their customers, because, coffee at 9:47 p.m. at night in college is never not a good idea! The truck also plans to move throughout the day to high traffic areas on campus that don’t offer a variety of other dining options. Starbucks encourages coffee addicts to share their excitement on social media using the hash tag #StarbucksMobile. One student took to Instagram to post a photo with his grandmother with the caption, “My grandma flew all the way from Mexico City for a cup of coffee from #StarbucksMobile.” I’m not sure the truck warrants the need for international travel, but the enthusiasm from all generations is duly noted!

their careers.” Tetreault decided to take on the task of teaching the course because he believes it’s a great opportunity. “The university, overall, is committed to innovation and entrepreneurship,” he says. “I was tapped because I have a love, a passion, and true place in my heart for cities and municipalities.” As adviser to Mayor Stanton, he oversaw sustainability policy development and has seen the power of cities. “I’ve seen the power of the leadership of the cities and the citizens in order to transform their society, so I have a love for that,” Tetreault says. “I think that cities are one of the greatest opportunities of change that we have available and I really want to help share some of that opportunity with the students.”

ASU’s Spirit of Service Scholars program creates community leaders and do-gooders Jorge Salazar • College Times The saying goes “Leaders aren’t born, they are made.” ASU’s Spirit of Service Scholars, a professional development scholarship program, is doing just that. Led by the College of Public Programs, the program focuses on honoring students that demonstrate their commitment to service and the greater good through their college experience. “The hope is that we can provide this common training ground for these students that all have different career aspirations,” says Jessica Eldridge, a manager of public service initiatives at ASU. “But know that within those fields they want to make an impact and be a leader that is geared toward the public good.” The program has many components, ranging from seminar and networking events to off-campus experiences

geared toward helping students achieve greatness. Although it has stayed true to its core mission over the last five years, the Spirit of Service Scholars program has become increasingly student-centered. Eldridge says one example that showcases the students’ involvement in leading the program is the weekend seminar that takes place once a month. “It did reflect their interest, but it wasn’t designed by them initially,” she says. “But as of recently, the students became engaged in creating the sessions, planning the speakers and really having it be student-driven based on their interests and the synergy they saw in their community.” Eldridge says that the program will attempt to make their involvement more dynamic with visits to sites where the community issues they focus on are dealt with every day. Perhaps one of the greatest tools

the program has to offer students is the opportunity to network under the advisory of former Attorney General of Arizona Terry Goddard. “He was the former director of the program,” says Eldridge. “Now that he’s running for secretary of state, he’s serving as an advisory board chair for getting students paired up with community mentors.” Eldridge says the value of networking and mentorship extends past the students’ collegiate endeavors. “I know it’s led to entry ways to job paths in the Valley and also led to more national connections,” she says. “It’s something that benefits the students during their year in the scholars programs but definitely has further implications in ongoing years.” The program is open to all students, regardless of their major. To enroll, students must go through an application process that includes submitting essays

regarding their commitment to serving the community and interviews with College of Public Programs personnel. “They dig a little deeper into the real nuts and bolts of the student’s interests,” Eldridge says. “What are they truly passionate about? What keeps them up at night? What are the policy issues or the public needs that really get them going and energized to make a difference?” While the components that may appeal to students in the program may vary, Eldridge says Spirit of Service Scholars is about a community helping the students make an impact. “[It] really allows you to tailor a very public and very networked experience around your particular interests while working collectively in this powerhouse group of awesome individuals that are really aimed at being transformational leaders in public service,” she says.

Have you noticed a change on campus since the smoking ban started? Sinava Roberts “No, a lot of students are still smoking. Everyone is aware of the ban though.”

Erin Schmitz “Some of my friends still smoke on campus. A lot of other students seem not to care [that] there is a ban.”

One year later, is the ASU smoking ban really working? Megan Stalbaum • College Times Arizona State University took a stand on August 1, 2013 to stop smoking on all four campuses. A year after the ban was instated, smoking students have been pushed off campus to light up in hopes that everyone else will be able to enjoy cleaner air. The ban came into effect because ASU students were worried about second hand smoke and their health. Students that were part of the Health and Counseling Student Action Committee (HACSAC) started a petition that received up to 3,500 signatures to stop smoking on all ASU campuses. “I like [the ban] because it’s a school campus. By smoking they aren’t just putting themselves in danger but others as well,” ASU senior Denise Huinh says. It’s no secret that smoking is harmful to the health of smokers and those around them. According to the Centers for Disease Control and prevention, cigarette smoking accounts for one in

10 September 11 - 24, 2014 • ecollegetimes.com

every five deaths in the United States each year. That is 480,000 deaths annually (including deaths from secondhand smoke). That is one person every six seconds. But despite the health risks, students are still falling victims to the habit. ASU is not the only university to eliminate smoking on campus. In fact, they are among 800 universities that have banned tobacco. The ban not only includes cigarettes but any tobacco product such as dip and even smokeless e-cigarettes, which have also recently been banned in Tempe public areas. Before the ban students were allowed to smoke on campus as long as they were at least 25 feet away from entrances or if they were in the designated smoking areas. Now, students must go off campus. “Most public areas in Arizona you can’t smoke. I don’t see ASU being any different,” sophomore Carolyn Corcoran says.

Corcoran believes the smoking ban is working, but could go even further. “I think for the most part it is [working]. I think they can be stricter on the e-cigarettes,” she says. However, the meaning of “off campus” can be confusing for those who are at the downtown campus. The nonsmoking areas include anywhere near the Walter Cronkite building, University Center and the Mercado building. Nonsmoking areas also include the post office and Civic Space Park. But is the smoking ban really working or are students still getting away with lighting up a cigarette? Students around campus had some opinions of their own on the smoking ban. “I think it is a good idea. You have to be mindful of so many students,” Samantha Shotzbarger, a senior at ASU, says. “As far as the downtown campus, I think it’s working. I haven’t seen anyone smoking.”

Dacq Patterson “Yes, we have to go all the way off campus now. There are still students who do it anyway, but I walk [off campus]. I don’t want to trash the campus.” Frankie Henderson “There are plenty of students who still smoke on campus.”

Displaced students were offered housing at hotels.

Moonshine Whiskey Bar & Grill.

Displaced ASU freshman find dorms, but rooms are still overbooked Julia Thatcher • College Times Students at Arizona State University were able to check out of hotels and into dorms rooms after nearly two weeks of being displaced due to overcrowding in the residential communities. All students have now been placed in on-campus housing, but two dorms continue to be double booked. This means that dorm rooms that were intended to hold four residents now contain extra beds to hold six students as a solution to get all residents out of hotels. Students living in these double booked rooms are compensated $25 M&G dollars per week. This is not the first time that ASU has had to temporarily move students into hotels. For the past two years, incoming freshman on various campuses have had to be relocated. This is, however, the largest amount of students that have ever had to be relocated. Over 260 students from the W.P. Carey College of Business were displaced this year. The exact number of total displaced residents from all ASU campuses is still unknown. Residential Life associate director Rob Perez was unable to be reached for a comment.

While staying at a hotel might sound appealing to some due to free maid service and all of the other perks that come with a hotel stay, Matthew Larsen, an incoming freshmen from Texas, thinks the hotel stays are overrated. He just wanted to live in the dorm room where he planned to have the college experience. “I missed out on one of the best parts of freshman year,” Larsen says. “Everybody else got the ‘welcome to college’ move in feeling and I was in a hotel down the street.” Accommodations for displaced students included a free continental breakfast every morning, shuttle buses from the hotels to ASU every 30 minutes between the hours of 6 a.m. and midnight, M&G dollars (valid in the dining halls and select restaurants near campus) and free use of the hotel’s weight room and pool. A source who works for University Housing, who asked not to be named, says he couldn’t put a specific dollar amount on how much the ordeal cost the university but that the services and accommodations offered to the students really added up.

... going to Moonshine Whiskey Bar & Grill Megan Stalbaum • College Times I am not a fan of Mill Avenue. Weird, I know. What college student doesn’t like Mill Ave? Every time my friends want to go out they usually want to take a walk down Mill and check out all the bars. Of course, I am not of fan of going and usually skip out. Then one day my friend mentioned a country bar called Moonshine Whiskey Bar & Grill. Being a girl who loves country music and dancing, I talked myself into going to Mill to check it out. When my friend and I got there, the security people checked our ID’s, and then I went walking through the doors with my shorts and cowboy boots on. The only thing I expected was that there was going to be loud country music playing, people drinking alcohol and some good old country dancing. There was country music playing and people drinking, but I was surprised to see so few people on the dance floor. As the night went on, things started to pick up. More and more people went out on the dance floor and people gathered in their groups. One of the things that I thought was really neat was that they actually have guys there whose main job is to get people on the dance floor and teach them to dance. I thought that was a really cool idea and

it got me on the dance floor, too. They taught me so many moves. They spun me around until I got dizzy and did what I can only describe as full-on trust exercises, where they would dip me low to the ground. You can’t have a country bar without a mechanical bull. I was feeling adventurous that night, even with no alcohol in me (I don’t drink), and I decided I wanted to try riding it. The good thing was it was free, so even if I wasn’t good at it I wasn’t wasting my money. The thing that I thought was weird about the mechanical bull was that there was no line. I was expecting there to be a big line, especially since it was free. I have to admit I was a little nervous to ride the bull. Heck, it was hard hoisting myself on the thing. Once I was on, I held onto the rope and waited anxiously for it to start. Once it started it really wasn’t that bad. Maybe that’s just because I had it on a low setting. I was too scared to take on the fast setting right off the bat. Going to Moonshine Whiskey Bar & Grill was so much fun! It was definitely a place I will visit again. The atmosphere is great and the people you meet are nice. And if you don’t have a dance partner, don’t worry—those boys will sweep you off your feet. ecollegetimes.com • September 11 - 24, 2014

Kalen Ballage

Kalen Ballage, ASU Football Cailyn Finkel • College Times Kalen Ballage knows what it means to work hard and stay humble. The true freshman running back from Falcon, Colorado has been a frontrunner during practices and has gained attention from Todd Graham and the rest of the coaching staff. Ballage, 6’3 and nearing 220 pounds, is a top player amongst the Sun Devil football program and understands that all the positive attention doesn’t mean that he can start slacking off. As a product of a highly athletic family, Ballage explains to College Times the secret of his success, pregame rituals and what it’s like to live in the dorms while being an ASU studentathlete. College Times: What’s the biggest difference between high school and college-level football so far? Ballage: The critical thinking, being able to think faster than your opponent.

needed to be, but now I use a combination of things—my body and mind—to make plays. How would you describe Todd Graham’s coaching style? He’s hard on you. If you can’t take the things they throw at you, then this isn’t the place for you. They really push you and have high expectations for everybody. Different plays, different drills, how disciplined you are, everything in every aspect. They’re really hard. Do you like living the dorm life? It’s a confined space with you and your roommate, so that kind of sucks, but I room with my one of my teammates, which gives us another chance to get closer. Is going to the NFL your main goal after graduation? I would like to do both [business and NFL]. Getting my degree is something that is very important to me, but I’ve always wanted to play football, ever since I was a little kid. What is your pre-game routine? I’m very superstitious, so if I don’t put my uniform on the exact same way,

every time before every game, it messes with my head. It’s always left sock, right sock and then my shirt. Then my left tape, then right tape. I’d be here for a while if I told you the whole thing. Todd Graham called you “the most impressive freshman running back we’ve ever had.” How does that make you feel? I really appreciate it. That doesn’t mean that I can cool it down and not work as hard. I just want to work harder now with him saying that. I feel like I can heighten my talents to more than what they are right now. Your father played college football. What was the best piece of advice he gave you? I’ve had uncles that played in college and then played in the NFL, too. They all taught me to be humble. Stay humble and know that your gifts and talents can be taken away in a snap of your fingers. You need to work as hard as you can because you will never know when you’ll be done playing.

4 essential tips to turn your new house into a home Moving brings great opportunities in the form of careers, social connections and new beginnings. However, the act of moving can create unnecessary stress and tension, which makes the process less than desirable. About 35 percent of Americans move every five years, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, which results in many people who are looking to simplify the process and turn their new house into a home. Celebrity design expert and ADT spokesperson Sabrina Soto has the expert moving advice to make your house a home: 1. Review everything being packed: If you have items you won’t use or haven’t used in six months, put them aside. They are good candidates for selling at a garage sale, listing in online classified ads, donating to charity, or as a last-case scenario, throwing away. Also, look for ways to reduce your load. Canned goods may still have shelf life, but evaluate whether it makes sense to move or donate - it’s likely the latter. The same goes for other items you can easily and inexpensively purchase at a discount store when you arrive at your destination. As you approach moving day, be sure to think twice before loading up at grocery or convenience stores. As you take inventory of everything in your home, be sure to clean, organize and sort the remaining items so they can be packed quickly and then easily found when you arrive at your new home.

2. Keep organized on moving day: Walk through the old home with your movers to identify how you’d like your items organized and packed. Let them know you want the house packed room by room, which will make it easier to unpack and place everything into your new house. If you have anything fragile, be sure to note how you’d like those items to be handled, saving you plenty of time and headaches in the long run. If you’re planning to move yourself, it’s important to take precautions and protect your belongings while the truck is being loaded and unloaded. Have a team of trusted friends or family help you - the more sets of eyes, the easier it will be to keep track of your belongings. If you need to keep the truck parked overnight, back the vehicle up to a wall or garage door, which will make it difficult for someone to break in. 3. Make yourself a happy place: Choose one room in your new home to be the room you completely unpack and organize on the first day. This gives you a restful sanctuary where you can retreat, even if the rest of your items are still in boxes scattered among the other rooms for several days to come. 4. Document and share the transformation: Use your smartphone or camera to document the change of your new home as your items are unpacked and placed. This allows you to see how your hard work has paid off. With these tips, you can streamline your move and make it less stressful.

Student Voices Think twice before you adopt that adorable ball of fluff Cailyn Finkel • College Times I like seeing dogs around campus as much as the next person, but as a fellow dog owner it makes me wonder if these Cailyn Finkel beloved animals are getting the attention they deserve and physically need. Yes, having a fluffy friend makes day-today life a million times better, but it’s also a lot of work. I feel like my mother saying that, but it’s absolutely true. Students often take on the responsibility of a dog without realizing all the factors that contribute to a happy and healthy pet. They are, essentially, small children. You need to feed them, walk them, clean up after them and give them emotional support when need be. Even as I’m typing this, my 2-year-old German Shepherd and I are playing fetch with her favorite (yet disgusting) toy. The fact that I have homework, articles to write and dinner to make means nothing to her. Nor should it. Tempe is a hard place to own a dog in the first place with many breed and size restrictions for most student-housing facili-

ties. Add those complications to expensive dog food and a limited number of dog parks, and you get a cooped-up, bored dog that is hard to care for. Boredom in a dog can lead to defiance and the destruction of some of your most prized possessions (RIP Sperry’s). Daily walks and pet-friendly trips are an easy way to avoid those issues. Tempe Town Lake is a great place to take them. Within walking distance for most on-campus students, it offers enough space to play as well as a splash playground to cool them off briefly. In addition to the lake, there are five dog parks located throughout Tempe. These parks offer training obstacles, watering areas and grassy fields for your beloved pet to romp around in. All of these options are better than the pup romping around on your couch. As a busy student it may be hard to get your dog adequately trained, but the training itself can be made into a fun activity for you both. The more you encourage mental stimulation, the more the dog will behave in a positive manner at home and in public. It works out for everyone! If you’re hungry and looking to take your dog out and about, there are several restaurants around campus that are dog friendly. Devil’s Advocate and Salut Kitchen Bar encourage dogs and offer water bowls

and special treats for them. Being busy is no excuse to neglect your dog, and if you know in advance that you live a lifestyle that isn’t conducive to the amount of time and energy needed to raise a healthy pet, then avoid the issue all together and go play with a friend’s pup.

If that still doesn’t satisfy the craving to own your own, many local dog shelters are happily accepting volunteers where you can play, feed and groom the animals and leave them so you can go do whatever you want. Volunteering is a worry-free and much cheaper option for students who live a busy and exciting life.

The College Avenue Commons houses classrooms, a bookstore, a marketplace, a bar and much more for students.

ASU reimagines bookstores with wine and tech Cailyn Finkel • College Times The College Avenue Commons is ASU’s newest prized possession. The 54-million-dollar, five-story building was completed late this July and is home to several extremely modern facilities. The building was designed to house classrooms and spaces for the ASU School of Sustainable Engineering, Del E. Webb School of Construction, Construction Engineering, the Alliance for Construction Excellence and the Civil, Environmental and Sustainable Engineering departments. The building also features a graband-go market and the Sun Devil Marketplace on the first floor. The Marketplace is perfect for student and alumni needs with Sun Devil athletic and formal wear, as well as a section for shoes, make-up and jewelry for students that need to pick up something on the way home from class. Although many of the Sun Devil clothing options are a bit expensive on a student’s budget, it’s a perfect place to bring your folks during Family Weekend and beg them for that new jacket, sweatshirt or hat you’ve been pining after. Follow the stairs up to the second floor and you will find yourself in the bookstore, not for textbooks, but for best sellers and interesting reads. Adjacent to the bookstore is the Apple Technology Center and the wine bar, cleverly named

20 SEPTEMBER 11 - 24, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

Corks and Pitchforks. Corks and Pitchforks bartender, Jake Pittman, says this building as a whole is technologically advanced. “In the bar the lights, TVs and radio are all controlled by the iPad. The Devil’s Oasis (inside Corks and Pitchforks) definitely has the most advanced audio-visual set up of all of ASU because we are so new.” Despite the fact that this is a spacious and friendly atmosphere for the older students to relax in between classes, many of the customers so far are alumni. Pittman says, “During the last game the crowd was pretty strictly alumni. We had age ranges from late 20s to a group of 70-year-old ladies who went here back in the sixties who were still partying hard and enjoying the ASU football game.” According to the ASU website about the Commons, the main goal of the building was to rethink the traditional campus bookstore while also creating a “welcoming environment for students, faculty and the community.”

Know your rights and the truth behind attorney fees Ana Anguiano • College Times ASU’s Safe and Sober campaign resulted in 392 alcohol related arrests, which included 146 DUI arrests, during the first weekend of the fall semester. Tempe PD joined forces with 18 different law enforcement agencies to crack down on drunk drivers and minors in consumption. But do you know your rights? If you found yourself pulled over on the side of the road, would you know what to do? Henry Beam is a trial attorney and former felony and DUI prosecutor with Lawtruck.com. He focuses on DUI and criminal defense, and his partners, Garrick McFadden and Paul Ticen of Mcfadden, Ticen and Beam, handle auto accidents, personal injury and assist entrepreneurs with trademark and licensing issues. We asked Beam what students need to know in order to stay safe, and what can happen if you do find yourself being investigated by police officers. “If you see the officers out and around, just don’t mess with them unless you need them,” Beam says. “It’s just not a good idea. They are there to do a job, you are there to party, let the lines be drawn and don’t cross them.” But when it comes to breaking the law, Beam only has one piece of advice: don’t drink and drive. Beam says there are many consequences when it comes to drunken driving; There can be jail time, fines and fees, probation, suspended jail, driver’s license suspension, employment issues, social stigma and of course attorney fees

to consider. The easiest way to avoid legal ramifications that will last well past your hangover is to simply obey the law. “We always work with students to give them the best possible deal but still, even with our lowest lawyer fees for a DUI you could probably take a cab to Mexico and back,” Beam says. Beam says one thing many students might not realize is that a lot of times attorney fees are negotiable. Lawtruck. com has up-front, flat-rate pricing posted directly on the website but Beam says anyone in need of a lawyer should be able to find one that works with their budget, even if it means figuring out a payment plan. “Just because someone is panicking and filled with anxiety and they need a lawyer, doesn’t mean the lawyer should swoop in and say it’s going to be $10 or $15,000. I think people should all have access to a great lawyer at a reasonable rate,” he says. “The asterisk on that is no lawyer is cheap. We are still talking about expensive stuff, but at Lawtruck.com we are trying to take the sting out the expense. If we can shave off $1,000 to $3,000 bucks in the course of a DUI and still give you a great attorney everybody wins.” Beam says Lawtruck.com has attorneys ready to go during the weekends because talking to an attorney for 10 minutes, even if you don’t hire them, is a very good idea.

Paul Pope’s “Battling Boy” is dissected by the book club at Ash Avenue Comics & Books.

Ash Avenue Comics starts super book club for comic enthusiasts and newbies Ana Anguiano • College Times A love of reading starts young, but as a busy grown up with school, work and adult responsibilities, it can drop to the bottom of your priority list. Book clubs are notoriously drab, but what if they didn’t have to be? On the first Sunday every month, Ash Avenue Comics & Books in Tempe will be hosting a sit-down discussion of graphic novels and comics that are chosen by participants in their new book club. However, this isn’t your nana’s book club, and no one cares about sounding scholarly. Ash Avenue Comics has always been a haven for comic readers, and their book club is a little slice of comic camaraderie heaven. Their first meeting was held on September 7, when about a dozen participants with varying levels of comic knowledge and interests got together to discuss “Battling Boy” by

Paul Pope. Ash Avenue Comic’s Drew Sullivan says they had the idea for a book club for a while, but that it took several conversations with different customers to drum up a group interested in a monthly meet-up. Now Sullivan hopes they can keep it up every month, even twice a month, if enough interest is shown. “We want to make it really accessible for people who aren’t versed in comics or comic history,” Sullivan says. “We encourage people who select a title to lead some of the discussion on it but otherwise we’re going to see how it goes.” Ash Avenue Comics patron Cody Eastlick picked “Battling Boy” and says the book club worked out better than he could have expected. “I think it helped having so many people with so many different backgrounds,” he says. But picking the first graphic novel was easy enough.

“I liked Paul Pope’s art style a lot and I had seen “Battling Boy” on the shelf for months. The name is striking and the cover art is great. What really sold me on it was the pseudo Thor dad mostly, but also Drew telling me it was originally pitched as a Kamandi story,” Eastlick says. Paul Pope had a history of working with DC, but when he pitched the story to them for their post-apocalyptic comic, “Kamandi, The Last Boy on Earth,” but DC turned him down. The resulting graphic novel is both written and illustrated by Pope. Pope’s “Battling Boy” is a 2014 Eisner winner for Best Publication for Teens. Although marketed toward young adults, the book is a great read for comic lovers of all ages. It tells the story of a young demi-god who has to save Earth, which is overrun by monsters, as part of his training to become a hero. His father, a Thor-like figure who can command lighting, lends

a helping hand every now and then, but leaves the quest up to his son, who is reluctant about becoming a hero. Comics are usually read alone and they’re not exactly the easiest medium to share with friends, or even a book club for that matter, but they make it work. “It’s not like a film where everyone can sit and watch it. Or even a book where someone can read it out loud,” Sullivan says. “It’s that combination of image, sequence and dialogue that is really hard to convey to someone. Even to sit and read next to someone—the pacing, where you read, where your eyes go is going to be different.” But as a group, the book club was quick to dissect narrative, storytelling structures, dialogue, artistic style, and personal peeves, all while flipping through the book together. They contextualized the material jumping off into other comics and film. The conversations were critical and respectful with a rhythm that let even the most inexperienced comic readers feel they had a place to jump in. “I’m an illustrator, so I want to understand comics more because I want to make my own. I read not graphic novels, but regular comics. What I thought was most interesting was the dialogue and the different vernacular that they use, which I’m not used to. I’m excited to learn about that,” says local Aubreyana, who only wanted to go by her first name. Ash Avenue Comics is also offering a 20 percent discount on books chosen for reading club and they only select titles that can be easily ordered and purchased well ahead of the meeting date. Next on the reading list is the collection of Brandon Graham’s series “King City.” Anyone interested in joining the group will have to have read it by Sunday, October 5 at 6 p.m. The club is also BYOB and held in the front of the comic shop. Whether you are new to comics or a lifelong reader, getting together to discuss a piece of art is both fun and insightful. “There are great things happening in comics right now,” Sullivan says.

Anthony Jeselnik on the offensive Cailyn Finkel • College Times Anthony Jeselnik is a Pittsburg native known for his former show, “The Jeselnik Offensive,” on Comedy Central, as well as his participation in the roasts of Charlie Sheen, Roseanne Barr and Donald Trump. The Emmy-nominated Jeselnik has risen to fame with his dark stand-up acts based around everything from death to philosophy to religion. College Times recently got to chat with Jeselnik about his comedic style and purposefully offensive career. College Times: Where do you think most of your raunchier material comes from? Jeselnik: I just think it’s a reaction to what people get offended by. I’m fascinated by the idea that people get offended by reality, by real life things that happens all the time. People say, “Oh don’t joke about this!” Why not? I think laughing at the worst things in life are some of the most meaningful things to laugh at. I don’t think there’s anything interesting about cats or food or sex, really. How do you like Phoenix? I love it. I don’t know if it’s the sun or the heat or the drinking, but I’ve always loved the crowd in Phoenix. Do you have a favorite city where you like to perform? Pittsburgh is not always my favorite because my family is always there. That’s stressful for me when I’m performing. But there are all kinds of cities that are great for comedy. Phoenix is certainly one of them. Minneapolis, Austin, Texas, Washington D.C., San Francisco and Chicago are some of the great ones. There aren’t a lot of bad ones. Do you change your act depending on the city you’re in? I don’t change my act at all. In fact, if I think that there’s something that will upset a certain city, then I’ll make a joke about that. I’ll ask what I shouldn’t joke

about and then I’ll open with that. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? You know what? I don’t know. That’s kind of the fun thing about my career is that I achieved all of my goals pretty quickly. I’ve been doing this for 12 years now and I’m at a point where I can see what I’m interested in next. And that’s usually dependent on the job I have. After doing my own TV show, I wanted to be behind the scenes more and I’ve gotten to do some of that. I do hope that I’ll always be doing stand-up. It’s the one art form that I have available where I’m my own boss. What’s the difference between creating an album and performing live? It’s a little more stressful because when I’m live, the interruptions and the weird things that happen during the show are what really makes the show. If someone yells out at me and heckles me and I answer back to them, which I love doing, that’s kind of a joke that’s just for that audience. When you’re doing an album or a TV special, you’re kind of putting it on record. You want every joke to be perfect and normal so it’s a little more stressful. Stand Up Live, 50 W.

4 events to ring in fall in September Christina Caldwell ● College Times When you’re this sick of the heat, fall and everything associated with it (Cardigans! Lattes! Pumpkins!) cannot come soon enough. Technically the first day of fall is September 23, but we’re willing to bet it won’t feel like fall for quite a bit after that. But you can always play pretend. These fall-themed events are getting their start before October, which means you can ring in the season early.

Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare

You might think the Valley is a blessed place to be the locale of horror god Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare, but he’s going to make sure his haunted town is hell on earth. Three twisted haunted houses meet live entertainment on the Bloody Boulevard, where zombies, monsters and other ghouls roam free. The “Devil’s Rejects” and “Halloween” director certainly knows a thing or two about the holiday, so you might want to bring a change of pants when you head out to this one. The frights begin on September 19. WestWorld of Scottsdale, 16601 N. Pima Road, Scottsdale, greatamericannightmare.com

28 SEPTEMBER 11 - 24, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

Diplo.

What to look forward to at Mad Decent Block Party 2014 Alicia Castro • College Times Every day for the past month, I’ve woken up, gotten ready for work and best of all, blasted Diplo’s Random White Dude BBC Radio 1Xtra mix. Why? Because this mix truly describes what Mad Decent is all about. Not only do the artist and producers under this label make some of the best dance music around, they also come up with some of the weirdest s**t. And when I say s**t, I mean good s**t, from moombahton to Jamaican dancehall and everything inbetween. On Friday, September 12, the Mad Decent Block Party makes its debut at Rawhide in Chandler. If you’re looking to rage, booty bounce, twerk or get weird, then this is where you should be no doubt. The Phoenix lineup consists of eight different DJ’s, including Thurz, STRFKER, Big Gigantic, Cashmere Cat, Flosstradamus, Dillon Francis, Zeds Dead and the king of twerk himself, Diplo.

Big Gigantic

Together Dominic Lalli and Jeremy Salken make up Big Gigantic. The duo from Boulder, Colorado is unlike any other music group in EDM because of their unique mix of sounds. If you’re into instrumental music as well as electronic music, Big Gigantic will be the perfect introduction to

Mad Decent. The group brings together instrumental livetronica, hip-hop and jazz using electronic beats, a live saxophone and drums. Big Gigantic has played at various large-scale U.S. festivals including Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, Ultra Music Festival, Coachella and Lollapalooza. If their music isn’t enough, they enhance their performance with lighting, stage design and production that is constantly evolving to bring their audience a full audio and sensory experience.

Flosstradamus

Chicago based DJ’s J2K and Autobot united to create the badass, party starting duo known as Flosstradamus. Their combination of trap and hip-hop is crowd pumping. The duos talent and energy is so stunning that even Diplo himself Tweeted, “If you’re an act, don’t play after Flosstradamus. That’s really hard.” They’ve played various festivals around the country from South By Southwest to TomorrowWorld. Describing Flosstradamus is hard but you just have to see them to understand what they’re about. The sensation and vibes that this incredible duo gives off are totally alien. There’s no denying that once they come on stage, the crowd will get PLURNT!

Dillon Francis

Regardless of whether you call him Dillon

Francis or DJ Hanzel, this guy is one of the most talented and comical DJ’s and producers in dance music. Last time Dillon was in town he played a KILLER set at Monarch that left nostrils vibrating even after leaving the club. Francis plays a variety of music and has even stated he doesn’t have a favorite genre of dance music—he loves it all. From his collaborations with Diplo on “Que, Que” to his collaboration with DJ Snake on “Get Low,” his music shows his love for all electronic genres. His recent single, “I Can’t Take It,” brought him back into the moombahton scene with a bass that will be sure to kick your ass. He’s collaborated with various DJ’s including Diplo, Martin Garrix, Flux Pavillion and is working on a new single with Norwegian producer, Kygo. Moombahton, deep house, progressive house--whatever it may be--Francis does not disappoint. Don’t miss out on your chance to rage face with Francis. Who knows, maybe DJ Hanzel will stop by, too.

Diplo

“Express yourself, release it—go, attack the floor, and work it low!” You can blame Diplo himself for the twerking revolution that took over America--from nightclub dance floors to high school volleyball courts. The “Express Yourself” producer and DJ is one of the most dynamic forces in the music industry and will have you twerking and booty bouncing all night long. His passion and love for music has gotten him to the top of not only the dance music scene, but various others genres including pop and hip-hop. He’s produced for and collaborated with various artists including Usher, MIA, Shakira, Alex Clare, The Weeknd, No Doubt, Beyonce, Chris Brown and Pharrell. He’s also a member of the electronic music project Major Lazer, which is a side project he takes very seriously. What makes Diplo’s music so unique and diverse is that he’s not picky. Just like his friend Dillon Francis, he loves it all. He uses different genres--hip-hop, rap, Jamaican, African, and Brazilian--to influence his productions. His music teaches you that there are other genres outside of dance music. Let’s just say, if Diplo were a nightclub, you’d be there every weekend--he’s that good. Mad Decent Block Party w/Big Gigantic, Cashmere Cat, Dillon Francis, Diplo, Flosstradamus, STRFKER, Thurz, Zeds Dead, Rawhide, 5700 W. North Loop Road, Chandler, relentlessbeats.com, Friday, September 12, 6 p.m., $25-$75


NIGHTLIFE Courtesy of Grand Canyon Brewing Co

And you distribute out of the state? We distribute to Nevada (Las Vegas and Reno) but I’ve been in talks with New Mexico, Colorado and Utah to distribute into those states as well.

Grand Canyon Brewing is planning for the future Ana Anguiano • College Times Our thirst just keeps growing, and luckily Grand Canyon Brewing Company is gearing up to meet it. We might be several hours away from the Grand Canyon, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the fresh beer made not far off Route 66 in Williams, Arizona. Grand Canyon Brewing opened its doors in 2007 and now they are ready to take their business to the next level by expanding their brewpub and production capabilities. We got the low down from Alexander Phillips, who is the director of sales at Grand Canyon Brewing Company. Phillips says they broke ground on new construction last January and hope to be

What is your favorite fall beer? Mac Allen “I usually drink Fat Tire in the fall”

finished by January 2015. Grand Canyon also recently hired Josh Ward from Hanger 24 Brewery as their new brewer and promoted Jeff Fowler to head brewer. So keep an eye on them in the coming months and expect some collaborations next year around Arizona Beer Week in February. College Times: What can you tell me about the changes going on at the brewery? Phillips: Originally, John Peasley, our fearless leader, bought a 15-barrel brew house off eBay seven years ago. That’s exactly what happened. We got installed directly behind a restaurant he also owns in Williams right off Route 66 called Cruisers Route 66 Café. When it originally opened it was just a brew house and a bar that went around it. It was very rustic with a lot of exposed wood. It was great, but then we needed production space as the brewery grew, so it kind of evolved into what it looks like now, which is a bar and the entire brewpub has been removed to make space for production. So what we are trying to do with the expansion is two miles down the road at the old Maverick’s building, we took

Arizona has 60 breweries total and in San Diego alone, there are 400 plus active brewery licenses. We’ve got room to grow. an existing gorgeous building that fits our motif and we have started some construction to install a new production facility and a lab, which allows us to more aptly control the consistency of our product. Once that’s finished, we will be able to brew in one day as much beer as we brew in one week currently. We are going to restore the original brew pub and do some limited release stuff.

What do you want to start brewing as soon as everything is ready? Well, for instance, Goose Island has their Bourbon County series and Odell has their Woodcut Series, which are limited series. We would like to do a series that fits a different aspect of our state. A lot of our beers are named after iconic things at the Grand Canyon. Our Pumpkin Springs Porter is named after the Pumpkin Spring, which almost no one knows about. But being the Grand Canyon state, we might start a series where we expand outside the Grand Canyon name. We might experiment with a more niche focus. We have a certain audience that we have captured, and I love selling beer to them, but at the same time there are beer drinkers that don’t generally fall into our portfolio. We like everything, and as a collective we will drink anything. We started brewing heritage style beers and it took off from there. We are proud of the beers that we brew but we want to experiment. We’d like to add another canned beer or two. Cans are the future of craft beer and with us being focused on the outdoors, canned beer is more environmentally conscious and more practical for the outdoors. That’s something we are looking forward to once we have the ability to produce it and keep it moving. Sounds like an exciting time to be with Grand Canyon. There’s always a reason to make a good beer. We are really focused on getting back to the basics. We want to remind ourselves and remind our fan base why we started this brewery seven years ago. Beer has changed a lot in seven years. Black IPAs weren’t a thing, sours were relatively unheard of, session IPAs were never really bottled or canned for public consumption. We want to start a barrel aging program and there are talks of getting involved with distillation. It was a trend but we want to do it right. We are going to build for the future so we are going to build a barrel room. It might not get filled for a year or two, but it will be there so we can do it proper. We are excited to be in a spot where we can brew some really fantastic stuff. Arizona has 60 breweries total and in San Diego alone, there are 400 plus active brewery licenses. We’ve got room to grow.

4 products for a fresh face in the heat Christina Caldwell • College Times The summery days of 100+ degrees temperatures might be numbered as we approach October, but when you’re trying to look your best during those first few weeks of classes, 70 degree temps can’t come soon enough. No one looks good with makeup melting down their face. No matter how hot it gets, there are ways to prevent a full-fledged meltdown. Start with these products.

AHA or BHA exfoliants

These chemical exfoliants won’t prevent you from getting sweaty, but they will help with any oiliness that breaks through during the day. Don’t fear the word “chemical”—these are simply cosmetic acids that are actually good for your skin, including scarring, discoloration and acne. Extended use will cut oiliness without making you a dry, peeling mess. We like Stridex Extra Strength (the one in the red box), which is a BHA available at most grocery stores, or Paula’s Choice 8% AHA Gel, available online at paulaschoice.com.

Makeup setting spray

Setting spray is essentially a non-sticky hairspray for your face. It locks in your makeup and makes it stay, even when you’re sweaty. Some brands are better than others, but Urban Decay’s All Nighter is a known winner among beauty fanatics. At $30, the UD spray comes at a hefty price. An alternative is NYX’s Matte and Dewy

36 SEPTEMBER 11 - 24, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

Finish Setting Sprays, which come at a fraction of the price at $8 and are widely available at Ulta and Target.

Sometimes sweaty weather isn’t just about sweat—it’s about oil production. If your oily skin goes bananas during these hot days, carry around blotting sheets, which are available from just about every makeup and skincare brand in the grocery store. If you’re feeling broke, here’s a little hack: Those seat liners in public bathrooms work just as well. It seems a little gross, but they totally work. They’re great in a pinch, so tear off a piece and get blotting.

Quality makeup

OK, it seems obvious, but better makeup wears longer throughout the day, even when faced with the elements. Cheap makeup will wear off easily, so in some cases it’s worth investing in essential items that last. Stila’s Stay All Day Waterproof Eyeliner, for example, is great for a cat eye look and will stay all day, just as the name suggests, even when the rest of your makeup melts away. At $20 it’s not exactly cheap, but it lasts about six months, which is better than buying a ton of $5 options that give out mid-day. If you’re looking for the best of the best, create a makeupalley. com account and read their extensive product reviews. The reviews communitygenerated, so you can cut right through the marketing hype to see what really works.

Florida Georgia State Line on their record-breaking rise to the top

Christina Fuoco-Karasinski • College Times With two years’ worth of hits ranging from the party-time single “Cruise” to the mid-tempo ballad “Dirt,” Florida Georgia Line has seen some busy days. So when Tyler Hubbard returns home to Nashville, the ginger-haired singer likes to lay low. “I go home and recharge,” says Hubbard. “That’s probably how we handle our busy schedules best. We enjoy just sitting by the pool, riding motorcycles, fishing—anything fun. It’s important to recharge the batteries.” It’s been especially vital this year for the duo, which also includes Brian Kelley, whom Hubbard calls “B.K.” During one of his breaks, Hubbard injured his back in a dirt bike crash. Upon his recovery, Florida Georgia Line returned to the road, winding down the touring cycle for its debut album, Here’s to the Good Times, and ramping up for the promotion of the sophomore effort, Anything Goes, set for release October 14.

Where do you go for live music around town? Jake Orlan “Gammage!”

38 SEPTEMBER 11 - 24, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

At the time of the interview, Hubbard had just finished his work in the studio and was geared up to talk about Anything Goes. “I’m officially done,” he says with a sigh. “It’s going to be similar to the first one, sonically, I think, but hopefully better. Our producer, Joey Moi, stepped up his game, believe it or not. “Me and B.K. are trying to get better at singing and writing and all that. I think, overall, everybody stepped up

their game. It’s got a few different topics and feelings that we didn’t touch on on the first album. It has typical party songs, but everything seems to be a little bit better than the first record.” The first single from Anything Goes is the No. 1-selling song “Dirt” and its accompanying somber video. More than 130 radio stations added “Dirt” within the first week of its release, earning the highest one-week add total in Country Aircheck history.

Records are nothing new to Florida Georgia Line. Breaking the record for longest No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart, “Cruise” has sold more than 7 million downloads and is the best-selling digital country single of all time, according to SoundScan. “I think it’s just one of those special songs,” Hubbard says. “We always say we have to thank the songwriting gods for that one. It’s one of those special songs where everything works—the melody, the lyrics. Everybody related to it. Everybody loved it.” More people loved it after the remix featuring rapper/labelmate Nelly. That version earned Florida Georgia Line the Billboard Music Award for Top Country Song. The accolades fulfill Hubbard’s longtime dream. Born Jan. 31, 1987, in Monroe, Georgia, he fell in love with music early on. “I was about 15 when I started writing songs,” he says. “I think it became a passion around 16, 17 years old. I decided I would try to pursue it and see what happened. It worked out.” He knew it “worked out” when he heard “Cruise” on the radio for the first time. “I freaked out a little bit,” he says with a laugh. “It’s a pretty big dream for any artist, the first time you hear your song on the radio. But it’s a testament to our fans and country radio for supporting us. Everything that’s happened is because we have an amazing team and amazing fans.” On tour with Jason Aldean and playing Ak-Chin Pavilion on Saturday, September 20, Florida Georgia Line is using the jaunt to push its “Dirt Campaign,” which supports Habitat for Humanity. “It’s a dream that me and B.K. had— to build or buy somebody a house,” Hubbard says. “We’re teaming up with (Habitat) to do multiple houses in multiple cities. We’re just excited to give back a little bit and change some lives.” Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line and Tyler Farr, Ak-Chin Pavilion, 2121 N. 83rd Avenue, Phoenix, 602.254.7200, ticketmaster.com, Saturday, September 20, 7:30 p.m., $30-$60

3 comics you should be reading right now

Ana Anguiano • College Times One of the few perks of living close to campus, if you are unassociated with the university, is the little stretch of goodness on University Drive and Ash Avenue. Comics, beer, pizza, coffee and skateboards are all available for the taking within steps of each other. So to spice up our lives, we chatted with Ash Avenue Comics & Books’ Jordan Burke about what he has been into lately and what comics should either be on your radar or in your hands.

Saga

(Image Comics) Written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Fiona Staples Burke: “Saga” is my favorite comic right now. I originally picked it up because it’s by Brian K. Vaughan, who wrote a comic called “Y: The Last Man,” which is one of my favorite comics of all time. He also wrote for the TV show “Lost.” The first thing that caught my attention was the art by Fiona Staples, who was an up-and-coming artist, but now because of this book, she’s become a huge deal. It was her breakthrough comic. It’s kind of like “Romeo and Juliet” meets “Star Wars” but with tons of crazy, weird adult themes. It’s really vulgar and has a little bit of everything. It’s extremely witty and it’s basically about two people from different races and different planets that are warring with each other. These two people meet, fall in love, lead the resistance, have a child, (which is a big no no) and it’s just really fun. The world-building in it is beautiful. You never question what is happening.

Rat Queens (Image Comics)

Written by Kurtis J. Wiebe, drawn by Roc Upchurch Burke: The writer described it as his love letter to Dungeons and Dragons, a role playing game, which he grew up playing. It takes all your generic fantasy tropes and turns them up to 11. It’s not so much making fun of the fantasy genre as more of a big “in” joke. If you grew up reading “Lord of the Rings” and playing D&D you’ll get all the little tropes that are happening, but even if you haven’t, it’s still a really fun adventure story. The main cast is all female. You’ve got your elf, your dwarf, your gnome and human. They get sent on adventures and are totally ridiculous, but it’s also very crude and adult themed.

She Hulk (Marvel Comics) Created by Stan Lee Burke: I never really read “She Hulk” before. The art on the cover caught my attention and then I found out that the current writer, Charles Soule, is actually an entertainment lawyer as well as a comic writer. The whole thing about She Hulk is that when she’s not being a super hero, she’s actually a lawyer. That’s her thing. So they got a lawyer who actually knows this world to write She Hulk and it’s funny as hell. I would say at least 60 percent of the comic simply focuses on her life as a lawyer. The super hero stuff is there, and when it’s done it’s done great, but the majority of it is her simple life as a lawyer, which is really fun. That’s why I love it.

Review: Boyhood Boyhood

Staring Ellar Coltrane, Patricia Arquette, Ethan Hawke Directed by Richard Linklater Open now There are traditional coming of age stories where children get up to no good and learn some valuable life lessons, and then there is “Boyhood.” The seemingly boring life of a young boy is documented from ages 5 to 18 as “Boyhood” follows Mason, played by Ellar Coltrane, all the way into college. Mason is a sensitive, artistic boy with needs and desires that are not always met by his parents, played by Patricia Arquette and Ethan Hawke, who divorce while he is a young child. Mason grows up before the audience’s eyes and in a strange kind of time lapse internet video, you see him plow straight into all those awkward tween/teen years on film. Mason has to navigate a world where his mother is remarried (often), his father is only a weekend appearance and his older sister is his only ally. Seeing Mason go through life and meet friends, try alcohol, experiment with drugs, find his passion and get into college, is bizarre to say the least. Then again, being someone not that far removed from high school, it is easy to fall back into that time in your life where everything meant a million times more than it should have and your

B

friends were everything to you. Many times Mason hides behind his hair and his camera, where he photographs the world in a way he feels is completely unique to himself. Although Mason is not exactly from a traditional family, he is happy. He is close with his father, who shapes a good deal of the movie, and their interactions are always meaningful and loving. Seeing Mason grow up also means you see all the other actors, specifically Arquette and Hawke, age along as they kept reprising the role over the 12 years it took to shoot. By the end of the film you are not only invested in Mason’s life but in that of his extended family. The story is personal, sometimes mundane, but intriguing. We see Mason playing “The Oregon Trail” in computer class and watch “Dragon Ball Z,” which triggers crazy nostalgia feels for anyone who grew up in the ‘90s. The entire film is a time capsule. At 164 minutes long, it can be a bit hard to focus on with a limited amount of characters, but the intimacy of it is fascinating. There is nothing extraordinary about Mason. He wants to photograph, which even one of his teachers tells him is a long shot professionally, but he wants to find his place in the world. He wants to know where he fits in the long road and where his delicate heart, which is filled with good intentions, would be best suited. It felt uncomfortable at times being so close to just one character, but the production of “Boyhood” is so unique that this movie is a must-see for film buffs. Casual viewers might want to wait for it on demand.

Go FIGURE

By Linda Thistle

By Linda Thistle

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

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

(Answers below)

(Answers below)

Salome’s STARS ARIES (March 21 to April 19) It might not be wise to pursue goals involving others, unless you can stop impulsively rejecting new ideas. Either open your mind or wait until next week, when this “ornery” mood passes.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Putting off making a commitment early in the week could be a good move. Best to act when you know you’re making an informed decision. Expect more facts to emerge by the week’s end.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a good time for the Bovine to be creative and practical for yourself and your surroundings. Shop wisely, not impulsively, and keep your Bull’s eye focused on quality, not quantity.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A recent act of kindness on your part could take on special meaning this week. Also, look for signs of upcoming changes in both your personal and professional relationships.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You should feel more confident about moving ahead with plans that had to be delayed by an unexpected turn of events. Also, family matters might need more time than first anticipated.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Many of the tougher communication barriers between you and others in the workplace or at home could begin breaking down this week. Expect some surprises to emerge.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be considerate of others as you move into a new area in your professional life. Take time to meet people and discuss mutual goals. The more you get to know each other, the better.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your “tough love” attitude toward someone you care for could be misunderstood. Try to be less judgmental and show more consideration in the way you relate to that person.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Creating a fuss could get your ideas noticed quickly. But it would be best to present your case, and then wait for a reaction to follow in due course, rather than try to force it to happen.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) An unexpected workplace challenge could be daunting. But take what you know (and you know more than you realize) and apply it to the problem, and you should see positive results.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Unkept promises might cause plans to go awry this week. You can either grumble about people “letting you down” or find a way to make the best of it and move on. The choice is yours.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Recent relationship changes for both single and paired Pisces continue to influence much of your week. Keep your focus on developing the positive aspects as you move along. ©2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
