JAZZ HANDS! 6

This week, buzz set out on an adventurous feat: to locate the best tasting fries in campus-town. Taking into account all things college, a limited bud-

get and the importance of proximity, we decided to limit it to several hot spots on Green Street. All in all, I believe it was a success. We tasted some good fries, had a few drinks and enjoyed the company of our coworkers. By the end, we had what we saw as a clear winner, and had succeeded in what we set out to uncover. With such a positive outcome, I started thinking of other ways this strategy could be used.

If done in the right way, I think that it would be very helpful in settling rivalries amongst friends. Often in a group, there are several opinions on which restaurant has the best food, best drinks or which concert venue offers the best sound. Using this method, long time disputes could nally be tested, and an answer could nally be established. One person would be proven right, and others would see the error of their ways.

For example, some friends and I have an ongo-ing dispute over which bar on campus makes the strongest or best drinks. But wait! An experiment such as this could nally determine the best in the business, and make deciding which bar to go to that much easier. There could be categories of cheapest drink, strongest drink or best-tasting drink. The categories only depend on what you are looking for, and as soon as these are established, the competition can begin!

If all else fails, and a clear winner does not present itself, nd your local KF-Taco-Hut. If you havent experienced one of these heaven on earth places, you owe it to yourself. In case you are unaware, KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut have teamed up and have single establishments in which they serve all three products. Amazing, I know! Ordering items from all three menus is the best way to go. You just cannot be disappointed! In regards to the competition, if noth-ing stands out at the end of your search, nd one that seems to satisfy all of your basic needs.

Sometimes life becomes too competitive for its own good. If there is a clear winner, then you are free to rely on that as your go-to. In all other instances, I say leave it up to chance. If life gives you lemons, make a KF-Taco-Hut.

Central Illinois is an intensely bountiful place, streaming with opportunities and life. one can do just about anything desired. If interested in rock climbing, the arC provides an amazing wall. Considering joining a knitting club? there are loads of them in the CU community. however, should the visual of concrete walks and the smattering of red Solo cups be pushing you to act on the urge to grow something green and native to the area, classes are sprouting up to help you do just that. take, for example, landscaping with prairie plants at the lake of the Woods Forest preserve where, for a mere $5, attendees are taught how to landscape specifically with prairie plants.

We want to get the word out on the benefits of gardening with native plants, said pam leiter, environmental education and Interpretation Co-ordinator at lake of the Woods. Several of the plants have uses outside of beautifying your land. they can be used in rope making, animal feeding, medicinally and they pollinate the local plants al-ready growing around them.

When looking at prairie plants, larry Beckett, lake of the Woodss head gardener, said that some can be harder to maintain than those not origi-nating from the area. this is because many are cultivars [hybrids of actual native plants] bred to have specific colors, petal shapes and sizes, and more flower heads.

Fortunately, Beckett also suggested a number of prairie-specific plants that tend to thrive despite a home growers experience.

Cone flowers, little blue stems and geraniums work well, said Beckett.

Be sure to grab your old tennis shoes and base-ball cap as you embark on your journey to prairie planting!

SHOWDOWNbuzz French Fry Crawlby buzz editorial staff

French fries, an American staple. Whether you pick up a burger at your favorite bar, or order a hot dog from a vendor on the street, fries are the perfect companion. With an insatiable hunger, buzz took on the challenge of scouring campustown in search of the perfect combination of grease, crunch and taste. After extensive and rigorous research conducted by our scientists here at buzz, we have come to the following conclusions:

Murphys Pub 604 E. Green St., Champaign

Greasiness: 4After eating these fries, our hands were craving some napkins!

Tastiness: 5These taste just like fries you would nd at a carnival!

Crispness: 4The outside is really crunchy and includes the skins, but the inside is soft and potato-y.

Value: 5The servings are huge and a great deal.

Price: $3.75

Firehaus708 S. Sixth St., Champaign

Greasiness: 2More greasy than a brick wall, but less greasy than a pig at wrestlin time.

Tastiness: 3We tasted the fried, but not the fries.

Crispness: 5Were these fries breaded? An air of mystery is not a good thing when it comes to fried foods.

Value: 4We received exactly the amount we expected. No more, no less.

Price: $3.99

Legends522 E. Green St., Champaign

Greasiness: 2These are a good choice if you dont like get-ting your hands dirty.

Value: 3We expected a little more for the price.

Price: $4

Big Mouths408 Green St., Champaign

Greasiness: 5These fries were slipping out of our hands!

Tastiness: 2They didnt have a very notable taste, but they do go really well with cheddar cheese.

Crispness: 1Limpy-loo. Wah-wah.

Value: 2This is a great cheaper option, but you may be sacri cing quality.

Price: $1.49

Joes Brewery706 S. Fifth St., Champaign

Greasiness: 2Hardly greasy at all. Nuff said.

Tastiness: 4Some of the best we had, maybe due to their waf e-y shape and texture.

Crispness: 5Crunchy, crunchy fries for lunchie!

Value: 4Though low in number, these fries are super lling and can almost be considered real food! MVP.

Price: $2.50

Wisdom teeth bugging you?

When wisdom teeth come in, the result is often painful and damaging to other teeth. This time of year, it is not unusual for students to have trouble with their wisdom teeth. Stress and lack of proper rest and diet seem to act as a catalyst for wisdom tooth flare-up.

At Affiliates in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, the removal of wisdom teeth is done as an outpatient surgery and is often covered by student insurance.

The original social neTworkingChampaign County Fair returns to Urbana

C otton candy, elephant ears, hot dogs, pop-corn, Polish sausage, hot pretzels and French fries abound! All of these insanely unhealthy (and therefore incredibly delicious) foods can once again be found in one place the Champaign County Fair! Yes, the fair is in town and all of its loud, color-ful and exciting events will be happening July 23 through July 31 at the fairgrounds in Urbana.

Now in its 158th year, the Champaign County Fair started out as a way for pioneer families to gather and compare livestock and crops. To-day, it has become a large affair where people come from not only our county but surrounding counties as well. Thousands wander the grounds during fair days, which all highlight an important group through names such as Military Appre-ciation Day, Family/Agriculture Day, Livestock Day, Democrat/Senior Citizen Day, Republican Day, 4-H Day and Youth Day. Because there are many different events taking place, anyone can find something they like, from a horse show to music at the grandstand to a talent show to 4-H livestock judging.

For equine enthusiasts, the horse show will take place on Sunday, July 25, at 9 a.m. in the arena, located in the northeast area of the fairgrounds past the horse barns. It features open barrel racing as well as open poling, which both test agility and speed. Last year, the open barrel contest alone at-tracted over 90 contestants from all over Illinois, as well as from out of state. One of last years competitors, for instance, came from Georgia to visit family in the area and ended up deciding to enter the show.

The show will be even better this year according to Darren Woller, horse show chairman, who assured that whether people have been before or not, we have done a lot of work to improve the show.

This includes a brand new arena with bleachers to sit on and an updated floor that will hopefully help draw more horses to the show and make it a better experience for all.

Having lived in Champaign County all of his life, Woller has attended the fair since he was a small child.

I enjoy all of it, said Woller when asked what his favorite part of the fair was. Outside of the horse show, Id say fair food.

Hes not alone. Another man that loves fair food is Dennis Riggs, a member of the volunteer board of directors for the Champaign County Fair.

Give your diet one week off to enjoy the fair, said Riggs.

To everyones delight, Riggs assured that many of the fair favorites will be there again this year, including french fries from Cullers, the polish sausage next to the grandstand, and Miss Pig-gys. However, the thousands of visitors about three to five thousand a day according to Riggs that come each year to not only enjoy the food but also the entertainment will be able to experience another special event this year. Even better, its one that hasnt been at the fair in a few years musicians at the grandstand. On Saturday, July 24, two bands will be performing at the grandstand for a $5 entrance fee.

Known fairly well around Champaign Coun-ty, the first band is a classic rock band called the Crazy Johnny Band with Dawna Nelson, while the second band to perform is a country-western band from Southern Illinois called the Pearl Handle Band. Great entertainment like this for low prices are part of the reason why Riggs said that the entire fair is such a good entertainment value compared to other places you could go.

Included in the fairs en-tertainment is the talent show, which welcomes any type of talent. This means that al-though singers and instrumentals frequently grace the stage, the occasional magician or dancer can be found as well. In addition to a junior level open to 14-year-olds and under, the talent show also has a senior level open to 15 to 21-year-olds who wish to showcase their talents. First place winners receive $75 with a chance to go onto state; second place recieves $50 and third recieves $25. Since the talent show provides such a great opportunity to strut your stuff and see the talented people in the community, Janet Largent, coordinator of the talent show, would love for the community to come out and support the young people and Champaign County.

Finally, there is the 4-H livestock show. Open to contestants 8 to 18-years-old, this show is found-ed and run by 4-H and allows kids to work on their livestock project throughout the year before being judged at the fair. Livestock being judged include dairy cows, beef cows, goats, sheep, rabbits, swine and poultry. Though there are many different awards to be given out, the most important prize is that of self-worth, accomplishment and responsibility.

Its nice for [the kids] to be able to talk about what they do and what they are proud of, said 4-H Health Wellness & Youth Educator Jamie Kleiss.

Come out and join the rest of Champaign County in celebrating, as Riggs said, the original social networking.

Jazz it upby Amy Armstrong

The jazz scene in CU is a growing one, with both the Universitys jazz program and the local scene increasing in popularity and attendance and is finally starting to get the attention it deserves.

Up until nine years ago, the University had no jazz studies program. Now it offers a bachelors, masters and doctoral program one of only about 20 in the nation that do so. The program has about 75 majors and nine staff members, all which have lead to the growth in the jazz scene in recent years.

The program is growing all the time. The Uni-versity now offers scholarships and teaching as-sistance to attract graduate students, and weve got some real talent, said Chip McNeil, director of jazz studies at UI.

Iron Post owner Paul Wirth gets to witness first-hand the growth of the jazz scene in CU.

Ten years ago there might be one jazz gig a week; now there are shows in the teens weekly at seven or eight different venues. Music you would hear in most cases in large cities, you can hear in our little town in large and intimate venues, he said.

The University of Illinois jazz program ranks in the top 10 in the country, despite the fact that it is relatively young. The program features about 17 different ensembles, ranging from traditional jazz groups to Latin jazz, as well as duos, trios and quartets.

The student groups do a lot of live recordings, especially the premier group, the Concert Jazz Band. Theyre releasing a new double CD when school beings again in fall. The Latin Jazz Band also has a CD out, McNeill said.

And its not just music students that compose the jazz scene. Some terrific local jazz musicians have started coming out more since the jazz pro-gram has grown.

The great thing about the jazz scene in CU is that its both town and gown, Wirth said. There was an existing group of talented musi-cians when Dr. McNeill arrived, and the new musicians are embracing the existing to create a scene now known across the country.

McNeill agrees that the interaction between students and local musi-cians is an important part of the growth of CU jazz.

There are more local musicians now because of the access they have to the music students, he said.

Because of the intermin-gling of students and local musicians, more people in general are showing an interest in jazz. Students are coming out and experiencing live jazz for the first time.

The live setting enhances the experience of jazz music, and there is a fair amount to experience in the area, McNeil said.

Every Thursday night, school groups play at Ur-banas The Iron Post, which also hires private jazz groups that students and local musicians have put together. Also, the Universitys jazz bands perform at Krannert Center of the Performing Arts at the end of both the fall and the spring semesters.

Just keep up with the schedule on Krannerts website, McNeil said. The School of Musics website also lists upcoming recitals and concerts, and it features clips of past festivals and concerts for people to enjoy.

Go to the gigs Iron Post, Silver Creek, Jim

Goulds, The Great Impasta, V. Picasso; on cam-pus at Zorbas, Krannert, The Music Building and Smith Room 25, Wirth said.

McNeil concluded with the suggestion that ev-eryone should see and hear live jazz. You dont need to know anything about the music just go out and enjoy it. There are some top-notch professors, students and locals playing in town all the time. The more people support the scene, the most we can do. Check out the local listening and attend a show.

Theres incredible music being played almost nightly in CU, Wirth said. If youre not hearing it, youre missing out.

The jazz scene thrives in CU

headbangers ball Central Illinois Metalfest invades CUby Amy Armstrong

The Central Illinois Metalfest, also known as The Sickest Fest in the Midwest, kicks off on Thursday, July 22, bringing with it fans and bands that travel both cross-country and from abroad. The festival returns to Urbana for its eighth year.

Michael Armintrout, whos been working on the festival since its inception, said, Its defi-nitely an event that has been established on a national and local level. We have fans that travel from all over the country, and some folks who travel from abroad to ascend upon the Canopy Club for the festival.

The bands all play metal most bands fall un-der the death metal genre, but others, according to Armintrout, are slightly different.

[The bands] definitely delve into black metal, speed, grindcore and more of the sub-genres that are all part of the at-large metal scene, Armin-trout said. The bands, much like the fans, travel from all over the nation and world to perform at

the Central Illinois Metalfest. For example, weve got bands traveling from as far as Japan (Infernal Revulsion), Switzerland (Carnal Decay) and Italy (Septycal Gorge), but also have bands making shorter treks to get to the festival from around the country Malevolent Creation (Florida), Inherit Disease (California), Origin (Kansas), Embrace Damnation (Illinois) and many more.

The festival anticipates a turnout of between 300 and 500 people, all of which are truly fans of all things metal, Armintrout said. People can expect hard, fast and loud metal, surrounded by like-minded individuals who came to share in their favorite style of music with other people who also live for it.

A good Central Illinois Metalfest delivers what the fans want: the bands, the music, the vendors lots of cool vendors at the festival ranging from guitar and drum manufacturers, to metal maga-zine publications, to vendors selling a variety of metal merchandise, Armintrout said.

It is much similar to the other styles of music scenes in town it fluctuates. The scene itself is re-ally based on the fans that support it, just as much as it is on the bands that are playing a part in it locally. A scene cannot exist without fans to support it. Right now the Urbana-Champaign area has a number of good bands playing in it, as well as some diehard fans that support those bands it can always be stronger, but definitely requires the support of its fans to thrive and grow, Armintrout said.

The Central Illinois Metalfest takes the stage at the Canopy Club in Urbana starting with the pre-fest party on July 22 and running July 23 and 24.

InceptIon by Matt Carey

Waking Life (2001):

How do you make a film about dense, philosophical conversations and avant-garde animation interest-ing? Make it about dreams.

A nameless protagonist is struck by a car and swept through a series of surreal situations that force him to ask fundamental questions about reality itself. Its ambiguous as to whether or not our hero is alive or dead, but in the end it doesnt matter. Dreams inhabit an unusual plane be-tween existence and death youre not actually experiencing life, yet youre not not experiencing it either. As one character puts it, They say that dreams are only real as long as they last. Couldnt you say the same thing about life?

Dreamscape (1984):

Joseph Rubens 1984 sci-fi action movie won-ders what could happen if dreams were inhabitable worlds of their own? Alex

Gardner (Dennis Quaid) is a psychic wasting his talents on horse races until a doctor of fringe dream science (a field I only wish existed) asks him to participate in a strange experiment. Alex must infiltrate other peoples dreams, fight night-mare-ish creatures and eventually try to stop a plot to assassinate the president (who iss under attack by dream assassins). While somewhat campy and not without bad 80s hairdos or a synthesizer soundtrack Dreamscape shows how creative movies about dreams can be when freed from laws of reality and only subject to ideas of strange imaginations.

the science of sleep (2006):

A lot of Michel Gon-drys work (e.g. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) deals with dreams, but perhaps his 2006

French indie deals with them most directly. Stphane Miroux is a young artist with lots of creativity and ambition, and not a lot of social grace or self-confidence. After getting a dead-end job at a calendar manufacturer and meet-ing the love of his life, he resorts to consistently making strange mistakes that mess everything up. What Stphane is good at is dreaming; in his dreams hes the boss at his job, irresistible to women, host of a surrealist cooking show and able to ride a big clay boat on oceans made of cellophane. The Science of Sleep reminds us that even though real life might be depressing and mundane, dreaming can still be an excit-ing spectacle. Maybe thats why people like dreaming so much ...

W here do dreams come from? Is it our mind trying to send us a message, or is it sim-ply a concoction of our everyday life amalgam-ated into a bizarre world? Take this extremely pedestrian idea one step further; what if you could enter the dreams of other humans? What would the consequences be?

If it was possible to enter other peoples dreams, one thing is for sure; I am hanging out in Christo-pher Nolans dreams. With Inception, he has proved that his way of thinking is so far above and beyond the average Hollywood writer-director that Im already anxiously anticipating his next movie.

This wont be your usual review because I down-right refuse to give you any plot synopsis what-soever. There are two reasons for this: 1. I do not want to spoil any of the films wonderful surprises, and 2. I would need about 2,500 words just to give a basic outline as to what is going on in this film. Thats not to say the movie is impenetrable. In fact, Nolan lays out all of the rules of his universe very plainly, its just that a lot of information is going to come flying at you over the course of the 148 minute running time. The movie requires full attention, so much so that if you lose yourself for only five minutes, you will probably be a little lost as to whats going on. Personally, I found Inception to be so darn entertaining that forcing myself to pay attention wasnt necessary.

One aspect of Nolans directorial talents that I feel never gets enough credit is his ability to procure great performances out of the actors. Think about it with Insomnia, he got fantas-tic performances out of the serial screamer, Al Pacino, and the serial whackadoo, Robin Williams. Im still unsure how Gary Oldman wasnt at least nominated for his portrayal of James Gordon. And Inception is his best acted movie yet.

DiCaprio, as Cobb, is essentially our guide through this labyrinth of a world, and he also serves as the emotional core of the film. Its a typical great performance by him, albeit slightly similar to his turn in Shutter Island. Rounding out the cast is Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who pulls a Matt Damon and becomes a badass action star

seemingly out of nowhere. Ellen Page is the dream world neophyte who learns about Cobbs dirty secret and tries to help him through his dilemma. And Tom Hardy, who can embody other identities in the dreams, steals the show with his flippant, yet likeable, approach.

Nolan is often criticized for his direction (or, in the opinion of his detractors, misdirection) of action scenes. While I can admit to not be-ing blown away by some of his editing decisions in Batman Begins (in that he cut shots way too quickly) it seemed that he had improved with The Dark Knight. Inception takes his talents one step further, and delivers many exciting and well-directed action beats. The only reason I bring this up is because of the show stopping, unforgettable fight sequence that takes place in a rotating hotel hallway. Absolutely breathtaking. Its one of those scenes that will make you glad that you paid $10 to enter a movie theater and sit uncomfortably close to a total stranger.

For a heist movie with science-fiction elements and many, many explosions, Inception has a lot of heart. The final shot of the film is so emotionally powerful and resonant; while it is sure to spark intense debate amongst the people you see the movie with, it also shows that Nolan has grown as a filmmaker. The collective reaction from my audience when the screen cut to black was the most homogenous I have heard in a theater.

In a summer where the idea that Hollywood doesnt know how to make summer blockbusters anymore is becoming painfully accurate, Incep-tion has swept in and shown us that a movie with gunfights can also be intelligent and painstaking. After the crimes perpetrated against The Dark Knight at the Academy Awards last year, I cannot imagine Inception not being recognized in some capacity. This is the best original (i.e. not a sequel or based on a property) blockbuster thats been released in a long time. Nolan took all the clout he received after The Dark Knight and delivered a film well worth seeing on the big screen. The movie demands to be seen multiple times, just so you can fully grasp every layer that it has to offer.

10 buzz

July 22 - 28, 2010 the217.com

This week, weve been thinking a lot about what we heard about the birth control pill as we were growing up: either really negative, scary things, or nothing at all. While Ross heard very little medically about the pill as a youth (though plenty about it morally), Jo heard many stories (all from friends, of course) about the pill. From stories she heard, you could have a stroke or heart attack, youd gain weight, youd become really moody or the famous, I knew a girl who got pregnant on the Pill anyway. Neither of us heard anything positive. There was an unspoken assumption that any one of these horrific side effects would lead to someones sexual activity being found out.

As young people dont get good information about hormonal birth control including its advantages, disadvantages and side effects they pass along the best information they can. Why dont we talk about and highlight the positive advantages of the Pill? And why do many young people feel that the risk of parents finding out theyre on the Pill (due to some horrible, unlikely side effect occurring) is greater than risking pregnancy? Doin It Well wondered if these were attempts to scare young people out of having sex, or if it might be more complicated than that.

Digging up The pills pasTWe did some investigative work and came across The Pill, a PBS

documentary on the history of the birth control pill. In the 1950s, when sexual health advocates and scientists were trying to create a magic pill to prevent pregnancy, there remained in many states anti-birth control laws. When the application for FDA approval was submitted in 1959, it was the most extensively field trial-tested drug ever to come before the FDA. In 1960, the first birth control pill was approved, and five years later 6.5 million American women were

using it. But the history of the pill that remains is not the celebra-tion of the medical breakthrough it was. Shortly after its approval, a series of events affected the publics perception of the Pill.

1962: Word of serious side effects, such as blood clots and heart attacks caused by the Pill, begins to spread. The company who de-veloped it receives reports of 132 blood clots, leading to 11 deaths, but declares that there is no conclusive evidence demonstrating that the blood clots are a direct result of the pill. December 1967: The Pittsburgh branch of the NAACP charges that Planned Parenthood clinics, which provide the Pill and other forms of birth control in low income and minority neighborhoods, are devoted to keeping the black birth rate as low as possible. It touches a chord in the black community and the term black genocide catches on. September 1969: Medical journalist Barbara Seaman publishes the controversial book The Doctors Case Against the Pill and brings national attention to the dangers of the Pill. 1970: Influenced by Seamans book, U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson convenes Senate hearings on the safety of the Pill. Radical feminists disrupt the male-dominated hearings and demand women taking the Pill be informed of all the potential dangers and side effects. In a victory for feminists and the womens health movement, the FDA orders that all oral contraceptive packages must contain patient information detailing possible side effects from the Pill.

In the wake of the Pill hearings, sales drop by 20%, but the oral contraceptive remains Americas birth control method of choice.

Scientists determine that lower doses of the Pill not only greatly reduces the risk of blood clots compared to higher doses, but also re-duces other side effects such as weight gain, headaches and nausea.

1990: According to the annual FDA Consumer report, the Pill is considered safe and effective by the government, medical estab-lishments and public.

Fortunately today, the Pill is safe and legal. There are ads on TV and information on the internet about the Pill and other birth control methods such as the ring and patch, adding publicity to the multiple options now available to women and couples. Hormonal birth con-trol of the 60s and 70s has been improved to minimize all serious side effects and increase the convenience for users.

We hope that by understanding the past, we can continue to move forward and celebrate the medical advancements around reproductive choices, while maintaining both understanding of risk factors and a critical eye on social justice issues.

July 22 28FRee WiLL AsTRoLoGY

ARIES (March 21-April 19)Revenge fantasies would pollute your consciousness. I advise you to repress them. Wallowing in resentment would have an equally deleterious effect. Dont you dare give that emotion a foothold. On the other hand, fantasies of experiencing pleasure and joy, even if theyre escapist illusions, will tonify and invigorate your awareness. I recommend that you indulge in them at great length, unleashing your imagination to explore a variety of blissful scenarios in tremendous detail and with ingenious flourishes. In fact, as your part-time soul doctor, I cant think of anything else that would be more beneficial to your physical and mental health.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)If there were such a thing as the Queen of Heaven -- a living Goddess whose presence both calmed and excited you, a numinous female magician who lit up your longing to see life as it really is -- and if this Queen of Heaven came to be with you right now, what would you say? Would you ask her to help you, and if so, how? Would you seek an answer to the most important ques-tion in your life? Would you spill every secret and tell every story youve ever wanted to share, and trust that shed be able to see the totality of who you really are? I advise you to do this imaginative exercise sometime soon. The time has come for you to receive a blessing from the highest expression of feminine power.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)Whats up with your best friends? I mean, whats really going on for them in the big scheme of things? Accord-ing to my astrological intuition, at least one of your good buddies is at a turning point in his or her long-range cycle, and could really use the deep reflection and cata-lytic help that you might provide. Try this exercise: Put aside all your ideas about who your close allies are, and simply try to see the world as if looking out of their eyes. After youve done that, imagine how you could offer yourself to them as a brain-booster and heart-strength-ener; brainstorm about how you might blend your life force with theirs so as to empower them to see further than they can by themselves.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)In my astrological opinion, you should pay special at-tention to whatevers embryonic in your life. You should rouse the smartest part of your capacity for love and direct it with high-beam intensity toward burgeoning possibilities that have recently germinated. There may come a time later in the process when youll need to impose discipline and order on your growing things, but thats not whats called for now. Be extravagant in your nurturing. Dont scrimp on generosity and beneficence. Have fun overflowing with profusions of life-giving care.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)According to Hawaiian mythology, the soul leaves the body during the night to seek the adventures known as dreams. The place of departure and re-entry is the soul pit (luauhane), which is located in the tear duct of the eye. During the next few nights, Id love for you to send your soul flying out though your soul pit for some daring exploits that will revitalize your lust for life. Take your backlog of stored-up tears along with you, and pour them down like rain on the secret garden youve been neglecting. The garden will respond to the downpour with a big growth spurt.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)A woman I know was invited to a party where she would get the chance to meet her favorite musician, psychedelic folk artist Devendra Banhart. On her last look in the mirror before heading out the door, she decided that the small pimple on her chin was unac-ceptable, and gave it a squeeze. Wrong move. After it popped, it looked worse. She panicked. More squeezing ensued, accompanied by moaning and howling. Soon the tiny blemish had evolved into a major conflagra-tion. Fifteen minutes later, defeated and in tears, she was nibbling chocolate in bed, unable to bring herself to face her hero with her flagrant new wound showing.

The moral of the story, as far as youre concerned: Leave your tiny blemish alone.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)In the upcoming science fiction movie The Adjustment Bureau, Matt Damon plays a politician with big ambi-tions. Everythings going his way until he falls in love with a dancer. Then the representatives of a mysterious group intervene in his life, warning him that hell never achieve his dreams if he stays with her. We are the people who make sure things happen according to plan, they say. We monitor the entire world. Im happy to inform you, Libra, that this scenario is utterly make-believe. There is no Adjustment Bureau, on earth or in heaven. It is true, however, that if you dont have a mas-ter plan, then your destiny is more likely to be shaped by your conditioning and by other peoples master plans. So get working! This is an excellent time to either formu-late a master plan or refine the one you have.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)The United States is the planets major player in terms of political, economic, and military clout. China is rising fast as a competitor in those three arenas, but lags far behind in a fourth: soft power, or cultural influence. The rest of the world finds Americas style, entertain-ment, art, and ideas far more attractive than Chinas. As you enter a phase that will be favorable for enhancing your own leverage and authority, Scorpio, I suggest you put the emphasis on wielding soft power. Youll accomplish more by charming people with your intelli-gence than by trying to push them or manipulate them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)I think it would be healthy for you to wander out to a frontier and explore a boundary. You might even want to re-examine a taboo you havent questioned in a while and tinker with a formula you thought youd never change. I suspect that you would also learn a lot from gently pushing against a limit youve come to believe is permanent. Having said all that, Im cautious about advising you to go further. If you get urges to actu-ally transgress the boundary and break the taboo and smash through the limit, please do lots of due diligence. Know exactly what youre getting into and what the consequences might be.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)When mobs stage political demonstrations in Pakistans biggest cities, they make sure that some of their signs are written in English. That way their protests are more likely to be filmed by news media like CNN and shown to American audiences. Take a cue from that trick as you plan your actions, Capricorn. It wont be enough merely to say what you want to say and be who you want to be; you should tailor your messages to people who have the power to actually change what needs to be changed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)Im putting out a call to the rebel in your heart -- not the cranky, vindictive rebel in your mind, but the joyful, yearning rebel in your heart. I am asking this tender renegade to rise up against narcissistic behavior wher-ever you find it. Dont shout it down or try to shame it, though; rather, work around it through outrageous displays of empathy and radical acts of compassion and feisty outbreaks of wild kindness. Your job is to be a one-person wrecking crew devoted to smashing the boring inertia of egotism with your zealous concern for the good of all.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)As the economic recovery lags, many frustrated job-seekers have decided to stop waiting around to be saved; theyre taking matters into their own hands. As a result, entrepreneurship is thriving. I suggest you catch that spirit. In fact, I advocate a mass entrepreneurial uprising among Pisceans in the coming months. Even if youre already employed, itll be prime time for you to create your own perfect gig, carve out your own special niche, or dream up a role that is designed for your unique talents.

Ugh. I pissed the bed and my wife left me. Oh, woe is me! the217.com July 22 - 28, 2010
