Turner stn. HOROSCOPES ARIES Don’t think about yourself. Focus on the others. You always do best when you get your ego out of the way. You’ll know you’ve done this when you look back and see that a tough job was fun. TAURUS Think you could work in some quality time with someone you love? This doesn’t have to cost a dime, and it could be your most valuable investment. Meet with associates another time. GEMINI There’s no lack of excitement in this interesting day. Stick to your schedule as much as you can. That’ll help you make order out of chaos. CANCER If you’re calm when people all around you are losing their heads, maybe you know the right people. Or maybe you’re the angel sent to help them get through. LEO You’re generally decisive, which is one of the reasons others lean on you. Keep the overall objective in mind in case it happens again. VIRGO You’re right in the epicenter of change, and it’s good you’re there. Others sometimes get nervous and can’t see the forest for the trees. Don’t do that. LIBRA Are you getting conflicting orders? Having trouble making up your mind? Maybe you should wait until the dust clears before choosing. • SCORPIO Seems like every problem that’s solved leads to some new problem. That’s not bad — it’s just how it is. It’s also how you grow. SAGITTARIUS Don’t take anything or anyone for granted. Don’t assume conditions will be normal. Chances are they won’t be. CAPRICORN The way you think it ought to be doesn’t seem to quite match the way it is. Keep pushing for what you know will work. The others will come around. AQUARIUS The more fears you face, the stronger you become. You’re getting wiser, too, so don’t let hard-earned income slip through your fingers. Shop carefully. PISCES You may have | wondered if you’d do well | under a great deal of pressure. Your wit and imagination are j sharp. Use them to support your friends, and all will go well.

NOT UNTIL THEV TAKE CARROT TOP'S ATfT I 1 10 Days’ CONTINUED ROM PAGE 7 character, Benjamin Barry, is vy ing for a lucrative advertising contract. Pitted against his ad vertising adversaries Spears and Green, played by Michael Michele and Shalom Harlow, he makes a daring deal: If within 10 days he can win the affection of any woman that Spears and Green choose, he will be given the contract. Green knows of Anderson’s up coming article and, thinking that she will invariably dump him within 10 days as required by as signment, singles her out as Barry’s prospective love interest. He, of course, finds her particu larly easy to enamor — she at tempts to be as clingy as possible — yet also finds himself falling for her. Hudson and McConaughey have yet to establish themselves as the new Ryan and Hanks, but they regardless make a worthy ap pearance in “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.” The film falls short of the ro mantic-comedy hall of fame and is not quite as charming as last year’s “Sweet Home Alabama,” but it sparks that requisite warm, fuzzy feeling. It is certainly not worth racing out to the theater to see, but if you happen to be struggling with what to see while waiting in line, it is 2 hours shorter than “Gods and Generals.” Comments on this story?E-mail gamecockmixeditor@hotmail.com McBride CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 His finger-style technique and abil ity to incorporate 16th notes with out muddying his bass lines also reference Pastorius’ style. McBride is far, however, from yet another Jaco rip-off artist. His band, composed of drummer Terreon Gully, keyboard player Geoffrey Keezer and saxophonist Ron Blake, creates a distinctive sound on “Vertical Vision” that breathes new ideas into modern jazz. The opening song, “Technicolor Nightmare,” combines distorted rock & roll lines with engaging solo work by McBride on the up right bass, and Blake on the tenor saxophone. The rest of the songs on the CD range froni slow and ballad-like to the funky “Boogie Woogie Waltz.” When playing the bass, Christian McBride, thankfully, doesn’t slap the notes very often. In an era during which most electric bass players are busy smacking the bejesus of their instruments, vainly attempting to recreate the sound of Vic Wooten, it’s refreshing to hear a player like McBride grooving in a different direction. On “Vertical Vision,” McBride also shows that he is a capable bandleader. As well as being able to write great songs, McBride knows how to expand upon the in strumental skills of his band mates. Instead of creating a CD shaped showcase that solely spot lights his own abilities, McBride has assembled a band for this al bum that is able to effectively in fuse tl* record with a rich, over all sound. They can all play, and it’s obvious from the first five min utes of the album that the solo du ties will be shared between McBride and his fellow musicians. McBride has played with the jazz giants Pat Metheny and Chick Corea in his career, as well as with such popular musicians as Sting, D’Angelo and Carly Simon. McBride is also the bass player on the George Duke album “Feel the Music.” After hearing McBride play with so many other musicians, it’s good to hear him doing something of his own. Only 30 years old, McBride likely has a lot more mu sic and many more years as a com poser and bandleader still left in him. And if “Vertical Vision” is any indication, he is destined to strike a lasting chord. Comments"bn this story?E-mail gamecockmixeditor&hotmail.com
