’ll admit it: I love Twitter. I find myself on there much more than Facebook these days. It seems a lot more personal. There’s less stuff to weed through. It’s simple, it’s quick. And it really works well for media. When Charleston was going through weather issues this week, Twitter was the place to go for upto-the-second updates on road and bridge closings. I’ve always been a social media nut. Yes, I had a Friendster account in 2003. And yes, I still have a MySpace page (though it’s never updated. And the new layout leaves a lot to be desired). Anyway, if you want to know what’s up with Charleston Scene, or hear me rave about everything involving Prince, local food and more, then follow twitter.com/ chasscene.

‘Hymns & Spirituals’ hitting its stride S

axophonist Mark Sterbank has grown his concept of sacred jazz music into a popular brand step by step over the past six years, inspiring and entertaining concertgoers with his Hymns & Spirituals. That’s the banner under which the Mark Sterbank Jazz Group performs modern jazz interpretations of church evergreens. Although he was referring to secular music when he coined the phrase, Louis Armstrong would have called what Sterbank’s band plays, “some of them good ol’ good ones.” The ensemble performs again Jan. 16 at 3 p.m. in the Lightsey Chapel Auditorium at Charleston Southern University. It’s billed as the 7th Annual Hymns & Spirituals Concert. I saw the very first one and several of them since. It’s a blast. In fact, they just keep getting better. One of the reasons is that the personnel, who had played together in other configurations, has remained the same, coalescing in musical thought, word and deed. Sterbank’s bandmates are Fred Wesley, trombone; Charlton Singleton, trumpet; Tommy Gill, piano; Herman Burney Jr., bass; and Quentin Baxter, drums. Some of the program planned for the upcoming concert has been played before and are back by popular demand. Others, such as “We Shall Overcome,” are new renditions. The band is set to perform “This Little Light of Mine,” “Swing Low Sweet Chariot,” “Amazing Grace,” “I Shall Not Be Moved,” “Let Us Break Bread,” “Joshua Fit De Battle” and “Battle Hymn of the Republic” among others. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 seniors and students and free for CSU students and children 12 and under. Con-

tact the CSU music department at 863-7966. The experience of listening to this band is so transcendent, it even works outside the sanctuary. It played to a sold-out house at McCrady’s last spring for its turn as Jazz Artists of Charleston’s annual Holy City Homecomin’ event. It has performed at East Cooper Baptist Church and is getting requests to play regionally. The house rocked as it would in a concert hall or a church. The energy created overrode any perceived boundaries imposed by a venue. It’s the best of both Saturday night and Sunday morning. Every time I’ve heard the band, folks leave feeling better, on many levels, than when they came in. You get the best of top-quality art and a nonsectarian religious experience, all rolled into one.

A feeling that shines through, too, is the resonance that comes from how the band members live their lives and practice their craft. Believers all, they’re connected to a presence larger than them individually and as a group. What you hear is a result of their being in touch with that force, one in which they have a deep and abiding faith that ties them to what they believe is the source of all beauty. There are collegial bonds that tie these guys together, too. Not only are they all hugely talented, they respect themselves and each other professionally. And what-

ever their undertaking, they put out the best product they can. Some time after the concert, they’re going into the studio to make another record. They did a terrific one, “Hymns & Spirituals,” last year. It’s available at CDBaby.com, DigStation, and iTunes. With another year under their belt, this one should be even better. The band is just the right size for what Sterbank is trying to do. You get a full, lush sound with five players, and at the same time, it’s not so many people that they get in each other’s way. Everyone’s artistic abilities have room to come through. And that is

reinforced by how well they know each other musically from the experience of playing together for more than 10 years. The ensemble’s sound seems to float like a cloud. You end up enveloped by their sound, not run over or knocked down by it. It takes you over. And that’s OK. It’s warm and welcoming. The way I know Sterbank, this project and its concept come out of his personality. He and his wife, Leah, are two of the nicest, most hip, positive people you’ll ever want to meet. Just like this band. He told me New Year’s Eve a biblical guiding principle for his project is taken from Ephesians 5:19,20: “Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” The programmatic inspiration for this year’s concert comes from the band having been invited to play Jan. 19 at 11 a.m. at CSU as part of

a tribute to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., an ardent jazz fan who gave an address at the 1964 Berlin Jazz Festival. He closed it with, “For in the particular struggle of the Negro in America there is something akin to the universal struggle of modern man. Everybody has the blues. Everybody longs for meaning. Everybody needs to love and be loved. Everybody needs to clap hands and be happy. Everybody longs for faith. In music, especially this broad category called jazz, there is a stepping stone towards all of these.” CSU made a fine choice asking Sterbank to bring his band. Not knowing of King’s speech, here’s what he told me that Friday of his take on jazz, spirituality and human equality: “ ‘Hymns & Spirituals’ is relevant because the tradition of jazz and hymns and spirituals both reach out across cultural divisions and appeal to people from many cultures. There is a connection that is made with people through both traditions. “I feel that the combining the two unites the joy, exuberance and beauty of jazz music with the hope, redemption and love found in hymns and spirituals. It resonates across age divisions as well. I’ve seen all ages at our events. It is an honor to present this program again this year and continue the vision of uniting my passion and faith through music.” Jack McCray, author of “Charleston Jazz,” can be reached at jackjmccray@aol. com.

Second attempt for Charleston marathon Schedule Friday

DAVID QUICK/STAFF

While this year marks the Riverfront Race Festival’s first Charleston Marathon, the organization held the first Riverfront Race Festival’s Half-Marathon last year. On Saturday, both the marathon and half-marathon will start together near the S.C. Aquarium. cross three major bridges — proved to be its undoing. Those various jurisdictions and crossing bridges are huge obstacles that have left Woods and others who considered organizing a marathon daunted to try it again. Besides those obstacles, a few other factors probably played into keeping a marathon from taking place in Charleston in the past quarter century. First, the Cooper River Bridge Run, which has become the seventh largest race in the United States, casts a large shadow and will continue to be Charleston’s hallmark race. The second is that the Kiawah Island Marathon and Half-Marathon has been, to a degree, Charleston’s marathon, even though it is run entirely on a resort island 45 minutes from downtown. But Fox, Schomer and a band of two dozen other dedicated volunteers have persevered. Last year, with time running out to host a marathon, the Charleston Marathon organization decided to maintain its momentum and proceeded with the inaugural Riverfront Race Festival, featuring a half-marathon and

10K, all in North Charleston. They picked up where they left off and had everything lined up for the marathon this year. Still, the marathon seems to be on shaky ground and may depend on how successful Saturday’s event goes. Because of concerns about the race route, Fox says volunteers have literally driven the course, which features numerous turns in North Charleston, every other day in recent weeks to check for unanticipated problems and actually found them. Late last week, a railroad company placed concrete road blocks up on part of the course. Fox quickly pleaded with them to take them down and the company promised to do so. Fox himself says he’s only committed to be the event director for one more year. As with many races in town, the event’s future also depends on cooperation from police and especially the city of Charleston, whose special events committee is flooded with requests for road closures for races and parades on most weekends of the year and is subsequently making it more difficult and expensive to host such

olding a marathon in cities of Charleston and North Charleston has proved to be a logistical challenge. But after years of dreaming, planning and organizing, the Riverfront Race Festival’s Charleston Marathon debuts Saturday. As of Monday, 971 had signed up to run the marathon. The race starts along with a half-marathon (1,727 have signed up for it) near the S.C. Aquarium that goes down East Bay Street and proceeds to loop the battery before heading up King Street to North Charleston. Of the 26.2-mile marathon course, 18 miles of it will be in North Charleston. “My feeling is exuberance, excitement and fear all rolled into one,” says event director Charles Fox, who along with race director Howie Schomer, shared the vision for the event six years ago. While most cities the size and stature of Charleston have long had marathons, this is the first attempt since the late Don Woods put on the “Bridge-a-thon” on Oct. 13, 1985. That race, which had 121 finishers, featured a much more scenic course than the one Saturday. The Bridgea-thon started at Patriot’s Point in Mount Pleasant, crossed the Cooper River, went around the Charleston waterfront and finished at Folly Beach. However, the logistics of that race — requiring 200 volunteers, five police departments and approval to

11 A.M.-8 P.M.: Late registration, packet pick-up and expo at a large white tent at 1362 McMillan Avenue, North Charleston. 4 P.M.: Youth marathon (children finish the final 1.2 miles of a cumulative 26.2 mile run, done in increments in recent weeks). 5-8 P.M.: Pasta dinner by Fazoli’s.

witter has its limitations. You can type only 140 characters, it can be a little hard to figure out at first, and privacy settings on tweets are either all or nothing (either everyone can see your tweets or only those people you approve). Nonetheless, Twitter is very, very popular, with more than 175 million users. And many of those users are celebrities. Sure, using Twitter won’t make you BFF with your favorite TV actor or pop singer. But some celebrity Twitter accounts are interesting to follow. Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) appears to be the most popular star on Twitter, with 7.7 million followers. She tweets a mixture of news and pictures to fans. Ashton Kutcher used to be one of the top followed celebs on Twitter, but in May, Britney Spears (@BritneySpears) passed him. Spears, who tweets about personal

news and updates to her 6.6 million followers, also uses her account to call out fake gossip about her. Teen pop star Justin Bieber took Britney’s Twitter crown just in the past week though. Bieber has 100,000 more followers than Spears. And Kanye West (@kanyewest) created a storm when he joined Twitter last summer. He tweets to his 2 million followers a combination of life updates, music shout-outs and some random thoughts such as, “You have to balance.” For TV stars, “How I Met Your Mother” star Neil Patrick Harris (@actuallynph) is good for an occasional joke and other life updates. However, an account for his TV character, Barney Stinson (@broslife) is just as good, if not better. Rainn Wilson (@rainnwilson), who plays beet farmer Dwight Schrute on “the Office,” has more than 2 million followers and tweets lots of jokes. Hopefully, his post about his New Year’s resolution to tweet less was just a joke. Conan O’Brien (@conanobrien) is one of my favorite accounts. His off-the-wall comments almost always make me smirk or at least raise an eyebrow, and I’m more likely to read through his tweets than

watch his show. Conan and comedian/actor/author Steve Martin (@stevemartintogo) have tweeted about each other amusingly, including Martin’s joke about “combining old Conan tweets for something to steal.” For other laughs, I like satirist Andy Borowitz’s posts (@borowitzreport) as he puts a joking spin on the news and current events. For example, recently he posted, “Britain gave us Shakespeare. We are giving them ‘Law and Order: UK.’ ” And, there’s always Stephen Colbert (@Stephenathome) with almost 2 million followers, who posts funny twists on news and goofy jokes such as, “Hey cantaloupes! With a more positive attitude, you could become CAN-eloupes.” The Kardashian sisters draw a lot of followers, with Kim (@KimKardashian), 5.8 million; Kourtney (@KourtneyKardash), 1.9 million; and Khloe (@ KhloeKardashian), 2.2 million. As a side note, there are of course celebrity “imposters” on Twitter. Accounts for many of the “real” celebrities have a Twitter certified “Verified Account” note by the user’s bio so you know if the account is legit.

Easy diet tips for the new year

he new year is about all things, well, new. What that translates to for many people is making the most popular New Year’s resolution of all: Going on a diet — whether that means you’re looking to lose weight or simply hoping to be healthier in 2011. As someone who struggles with the constant desire to shove creamy cheese, salty pasta and juicy steaks in my mouth without much thought, this year I’m joining the rest the world in my New Year’s resolution.

It’s a very “Iron Chef” approach when artists hurry to complete their portrait when 10 minutes of the allotted two hours is left. Artists participating this year include Durfee, Matthew Foreman, Tina Christophillis, Julio Cotto, Sarah Haynes and Chris Dotson. Durfee says, “There are some new faces showing up: Hirona Matsuda said she’d be doing her assemblages in her portraits, something I can’t wait to see happen.” Crowds are encouraged to stop in all day. The battle runs from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., with breaks for lunch and judging. It seems exhausting, but Myers says they’re used to it. “An eight- to 10-hour day is normal for a painter.” Be sure to stick around: During the last round, the crowd, along with celebrity judges, gets to vote on their favorite artist from the final three contenders.

For me personally, it’s a Hermes Birkin, which if I’m ever lucky enough to own, I want to be buried with when I die. This insatiable demand for luxury brands is the reason why the market is a multibillion dollar industry. It’s also the reason why there’s so much counterfeiting. In 2004, Tiffany & Co. did extensive research on eBay and came to the conclusion that almost a third of all Tiffany merchandise on the website was fake. Their finding led to a lawsuit against eBay, which was only recently settled. Last year when I decided to sell my collection of Tiffany jewelry on eBay, I was surprised how many hoops I had to jump through. Now at least I understand why.

Hickry Hawkins Saturday at The Tin Roof

R80-453106

Charlotte’s Hickry Hawkins accomplishes a difficult task by making country music cool again. After spending quite some time floating outside the country mainstream, Hawkins has found his wave with the rather recent revival of roots country and bluegrass and is making the most of his ride. The “psychobilly” country/punk musician has shared the stage with some surprising acts, such as Mudhoney, GWAR, Fugazi, Whiskeytown and David Allen Coe. Hickry Hawkins will perform Saturday at the Tin Roof, 1117 Magnolia Road, with The Royal Tinfoil. The show is set to begin at 10 p.m. Visit www.myspace. com/westashleytinroof or call 571-0775.

The Jayhawks TOMORROW THE GREEN GRASS: LEGACY EDITION (American/Legacy)

While the Minneapolis musicians in The Jayhawks made their breakthrough with the 1992 release “Hollywood Town Hall,” it wasn’t until three years later that the band reached its creative zenith with “Tomorrow the Green Grass.” Featuring singles such as “Blue,” “I’d Run Away” and “Real Light,” this was one of those perfect albums, a snapshot of a group truly running on all cylinders. Normally, I would not even waste time on a reissue, but with the release of the Legacy Edition of this classic Jayhawks album, Legacy has gone above and beyond. Not only has the original album been lovingly remastered under the watchful eyes and ears of Jayhawks Gary Louris and Mark Olson, but the set includes another entire CD of previously unreleased music. Titled “The Mystery Demos,” the 18 tracks were recorded by Louris and Olson during two sessions in 1992, and then were basically forgotten until they were unearthed a decade later. Olson left the band in 1995 after the release of “Tomorrow the Green Grass,” but recently returned and has plans with the rest of the original Jayhawks lineup to record a new studio album. Long the thing of myth among Jayhawks fans, the songs on “The Mystery Demos” can now be heard by all. Although these are fairly raw acoustic recordings, it’s basically like getting a new Jayhawks album and more than justifies purchasing this new set even if you already own “Tomorrow the Green Grass.” In addition to the entire original album on disc one, here are five bonus tracks, including B-sides and previously unreleased material. A remastered version of “Hollywood Town Hall” is also available. KEY TRACKS: “Blue,” “Turn Your Pretty Name Around,” “Bad Time.”

Diddy Dirty Money LAST TRAIN TO PARIS (Bad Boy/Interscope)

No matter how big a fan of Diddy (or whatever he may be calling himself these days) you might be, you’re likely to have mixed feelings while listening to Sean Combs’ latest project, “Diddy Dirty Money.” On the one hand, “Last Train to Paris” is an ambitious undertaking, finding Combs exploring European disco and electronic in addition to his more comfortable areas of rap and R&B. Guest shots by everyone from Justin Timberlake to Grace Jones help make the music work, at least at first. The trouble comes when you realize that, after hearing the whole thing, you feel as if you have taken part in some sort of marginally shady science experiment. Tracks such as “Yeah Yeah You Would,” “Shades” and “Hello Good Morning” are sure to get folks moving on the dance floor. Surprisingly good is the way Combs mines his archives to pair the late Notorious B.I.G. with rapper Rick Ross on “Angels.” What could easily have been looked at as Combs trying to use the voice of Biggie Smalls to sell records instead becomes one of the album’s best tracks. On other parts of the CD though, the songs feel unfinished, almost as if Combs was using the inferior material as watereddown mortar to try and support the solid bricks of the good songs. “Last Train to Paris” ultimately triumphs, but it is a shaky success. KEY TRACKS: “Angels,” “Shades,” “Hello Good Morning.”

Jake Shimabukuro PEACE LOVE UKULELE (Mailboat)

If you didn’t get a chance to see ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro when he played at Spoleto a couple of years ago, then you might have seen his viral YouTube video that had him playing George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” in New York City’s Central Park. Shimabukuro makes the four-stringed ukulele sound like nothing you have ever heard. On his latest CD release, “Peace Love Ukulele,” Shimabukuro plays a mix of covers and originals, and while the results are less stellar than the material of his last release, “Live,” there are definitely some breathtaking moments. His cover of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” has to be heard to be believed. Other tracks, such as “Boy Meets Girl” and “Pianoforte 2010” definitely allow Shimabukuro to show off his skills. For those that haven’t ever seen or heard Shimabukuro play ukulele, picture Eddie Van Halen playing one of the diminutive instruments, complete with finger taps and ridiculously fast notes, and you’re beginning to get the picture. Shimabukuro is backed by a band on this album, which further guides the ukulele’s sound into the realm of instruments such as guitars and mandolins. Among the better and more interesting tracks are “Bring Your Adz” and “Five Dollars Unleaded 2010.” “Bring Your Adz” especially shows off Shimabukuro’s playing chops as he flies through the dizzying chord changes. Again, I enjoyed Shimabukuro’s “Live” CD better than this one, but for folks just getting into Shimabukuro, this is a worthy collection of music that flirts with folk, jazz, rock, classical and traditional Hawaiian music. KEY TRACKS: “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Bring Your Adz,” “Five Dollars Unleaded 2010”

The Doobie Brothers WORLD GONE CRAZY (HOR)

These days it really isn’t all that big a deal when you hear that some classic rock band has re-formed and recorded a comeback album. It happens all the time with varying results. This year, The Doobie Brothers were one such act that attempted this maneuver. Since breaking up in 1982, the band has returned several times with varying lineups, most notably in 1989 when the band released “Cycles,” which contained the Top 10 single “The Doctor.” On “World Gone Crazy,” the latest Doobie Brothers release, founding members Tom Johnston and Pat Simmons are joined by longtime members John McFee and Mike Hosack. The resulting album at times sounds like an early Doobie Brothers album, especially on tracks such as “Chateau” and “Don’t Say Goodbye,” the latter of which features Michael McDonald, another notable Doobie Brothers alumnus. There are times though when the music starts to more resemble that of one of the Doobie’s biggest rivals of the ’70s rock era; Little Feat. Listen to songs such as “A Brighter Day” and “Law Dogs” if you don’t believe me. I doubt this would be the first time the two bands were compared to each other, and for the most part this album will please fans of the Doobies, especially the early incarnation of the band. KEY TRACKS: “Chateau,” “Don’t Say Goodbye,” “World Gone Crazy.”

CSO begins 75th anniversary season at Gaillard Auditorium BY BILL THOMPSON

bthompson@postandcourier.com

aving announced that Charleston Symphony Orchestra Concertmaster Yuriy Bekker (pictured) has been named to the post of artistic adviser, the CSO opens its milestone 75th anniversary season with a Masterworks Series concert at 8 p.m. Friday at the Gaillard Auditorium. Guest conductor Glen Cortese will lead an ensemble of 63 musicians in performances of Johannes Brahms’ “Academic Festival Overture” and “Violin Concerto in D Major,” as well as Richard Strauss’ “Don Juan, opus 20.” Featured will be violinist Adele Anthony. Bekker, who has served as concertmaster for the past four seasons, is a native of Minsk, Belarus, and now is a United States citizen. He has played with the Houston Symphony, Houston Grand Opera and Ballet Orchestras, and the Louisville Orchestra. Currently, he is interim concertmaster of the Orlando Philharmonic. “It is an honor for me to serve as the artistic adviser and concertmaster of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra,” Bekker said in a prepared statement. “Over the last four years, I have developed a great love for this city and feel strongly that our community deserves to have a world-class symphony orchestra. We have many wonderful things to look forward to.” CSO officials were quick to note that the appointment of Bekker is not intended as a replacement for the late David Stahl, long-time CSO music director. Among his manifest involvements, Bekker is on the faculty of the Charleston Academy of Music and also is the concertmaster and a

Cary Ann Hearst lets her ‘Lion’ loose

o follow up her EP, “Are You Ready to Die?” Cary Ann Hearst will release her full-length album, “Lions and Lambs,” on Friday night at the Charleston Pour House. “Lions and Lambs” was recorded over a week with Butch Walker in his studio in Santa Monica, Calif. Live. So it keeps that Pour House deck feel with raw drums and filled with personality. Hearst says, “I hope the sentimental ebb and flow is apparent on the album. That’s the reason it’s called ‘Lions and Lambs,’ because I feel that the record swings like a pendulum between one emotional extreme to another.” Her song, “Babies,” has one of the best opening lines to come out of Charleston

music. With her Nashville twang, Hearst belts, “My baby daddy never come to hear me sing.” She says she took on the tone of Loretta Lynn in the song, stuck to Lynn’s “super-plain, simple writing style.” The hook of the song is, “Who’s gonna raise these babies, these babies that we made?” Hearst took a second to explain how the song came to be: “I took the opportunity to ‘get real’ even if it’s a little cutesy. I am deeply concerned with parenthood and have tons of anxiety about becoming a halfway decent parent. I guess it was a result of those feelings and my relationship with many single moms and dads that spawned the song.” Sometimes, Hearst says, her songs are born from one-liners. Some are written in 20 minutes, others, such as “Are You Ready to Die?” take six

record release party Cary Ann Hearst will celebrate the release of her new album, “Lions and Lambs,” on Friday at The Pour House, 1977 Maybank Highway. Doors open at 9 p.m., and tickets are $8 through etix.com. Also featured will be Jamie Resch and performances from the Shrimp Records Family Band. CHRIS WAGE

months to properly deal with an uncle’s death, the concept of fleeting life. Her songs always have a storytelling ability that might make you think of how it applies to your life. Maybe another song, a novel. But you always think. Hearst explains from where her storytelling ability comes. “James Nobert Ables, Yazoo City. He was my mother’s father.” Hearst says he had a talent for telling tall tales. “Don’t call him a liar though, because he was strapped. He would tell stories, and they

would change over the years, for the better perhaps, but still, he was inconsistent. “He was a uber-passionate, red-headed, fun-spirited firebrand who liked to hunt, garden, fish and feed the hummingbirds. Smoked Camel nonfilters,” and says. “... I loved this man so much. We were very, very close.” Hearst gained national exposure when her song, “Hell’s Bells,” played in the credits of “True Blood” last year. She and husband Michael Trent went out to L.A. to play at the show’s wrap party.

Cary Ann Hearst’s “Lions and Lambs” was recorded over a week in Santa Monica, Calif. “It was one of those things where in the back of your mind you are thrilled to have the exposure. It has opened up so many doors to gigs, and we get more press outside of Charleston than we would have had I not gotten the license. However,” she emphasizes, “my ego will occasionally get tender about my 15 minutes of fame, worried that the last 10 years of my career have resulted in a one-minute edit of my weirdest song in

the credits of an HBO show about ... redneck vampires. Still, I’m not complaining. I’m just saying that I had very realistic expectations before and after.” In Charleston, we know where she fits in, but where in the country, the world? “Because I wanna be a cool kid, I would shoot for college charts. But because I want to be able to make some cash, maybe Americana. Country wouldn’t have me,” she said.

Special to The Post and Courier

The Charleston twitter community. That spot where you become instantly clever when limited to spurts of conversation of 140 characters or less. Where you find new music first, hear the quietest murmurs of Holy City gossip and where, for the most part, even the most mundane sorts of daily tasks become amusing when dressed up with smart prose and limited wording. They’re occasionally, and rather awkwardly, referred to as tweeple. But more often known by carefully crafted Twitter handles. Twitter knows them as GQBound, ERPerkin, JeffET, ChandlerThomas, StyleOdyssey plus several thousand more that make up the Twitter set of Charleston. Some opt for traditional names, not too far from their monikers IRL (in real life). Others choose names that echo their alter egos, whether it be their blog or deejay persona. It’s a spicy group of individuals. Here’s the rundown of some of Charleston’s most entertaining tweets, and the people who tweet them: Please see TWITTER, Page 23E

I honestly just learned there was an iPod in my iPhone a year ago.” @JEFFET: “I’m not really sure at the moment. ... I think @buckmasterrr (a fellow DJ) told me it was the cool thing to do at the time.” @STYLEODYSSEY: “I was curious to know what the fuss was about. Joined Twitter but took a while to fully ‘get’ it.” @ERPERKIN: “I needed something to replace Friendster.”

Twitter pet peeve @GQBOUND: “People who retweet the retweets of a retweet, hands down. It’s especially bad when it’s clearly a person most people are already following, like a celebrity. I also hate when people retweet elements of a conversation as if everyone that follows them is really concerned about a Twitter conversation between friends.” For example: @Twitter A: How was your day? @Twitter B: It was good! RT @Twitter A: How was your day? @Twitter A: That’s awesome. No, WE’RE awesome! RT @Twitter B: It was good! RT @ Twitter A: How was your day? @CHANDLER THOMAS: “Boring people.

‘Most of my tweets ...’ @GQBOUND : “Are bi-polar.” @CHANDLERTHOMAS : “Are humorous, snarky, and not entirely serious. I have a problem with being serious.” @JEFFET : “Refer to the popular trending topics of the Monocle Mansion.” @STYLEODYSSEY: “Are either stream of conscious-

ness, what I’m wearing, self-indulgent, or art-related.” @ERPERKIN : “Don’t elicit much response unless they are about something completely inane or embarrassing. For example, a tweet about my socks not matching will receive twelve responses, whereas most of my fashion or art tweets go unread. Give the people what they want! More sock tweets.”

Does Twitter get too close to the real world? @GQBOUND: “That’s the point of social media. It’s merely a tool used to manage the social networks that you’ve established in real life. With the exception of 15 or 20 people, I’ve met everyone that I follow at least once or in passing.” @CHANDLERTHOMAS: “Everyday of my life. I like it though. I like people. I love stalkers.” @JEFFET: “One time, I thought I saw @gqbound in front of Torch. Of course I asked him if he was @ gqbound. He wasn’t.” @STYLEODYSSEY: “Nothing at all like that. Not yet, anyway. Most of my ‘real life’ friends don’t use Twitter.” @ERPERKIN: “When strangers say I look familiar or they think they know me, I assume it’s through Twitter. The I think I just saw @erperkin-type tweets can be a bit concerning, I always respond that they should say hello next time.”

Perks of Twitter life @GQBOUND: “It’s gotten me a lot of exposure with other writers and people interested in the same things I like writing about so much.” @CHANDLERTHOMAS: “Expanded my knowledge of what people are doing while they should be sleeping. That and me figuring out how to use my keyboard.” @JEFFET: “Let me tell a lot of people about my music at once.”

Worst of Twitter life @GQBOUND: “Sometimes I tend to be a little too honest on my account, so there have been a few strategic omissions on my part to certain individuals inquiring if I had a Twitter account or not.” @CHANDLERTHOMAS: “Once Twitter broke in my house, stole my TV, prank called my mother, and punched me in the neck.” @JEFFET: “It’s definitely ruined my vision.” @STYLEODYSSEY: “People follow ... but then they unfollow. Sometimes I wonder why ...’Was it something I said, um, tweeted? Not enough tweets? Boring tweets?’ Hmmm.” @ERPERKIN: “People who aren’t on Twitter don’t understand how I spend my free time tweeting. This makes me look like an even bigger nerd than I already am.”

Notable followers @GQBOUND: “I was replied by @questlove (drummer of The Roots) twice. I think @BarackObama follows me as well, but he follows everyone.

($5) that was nicely spiked with ginger and its silken texture smiles at your taste buds with its sunny yellow hue. Garnished with a simple cilantro leaf, it is artistry you eat. The house salad that accompanies your entree is one of the better house salads I have tasted. It is not an afterthought to the usual salad pantheons. It layers red cabbage and assorted leafy greens with pineapple dice, sliced grape tomatoes, wedges of paper-thin apples and a curried dressing. The combination washes your mouth with sweet, heat, crunch and tang. Jamaica’s answer to Waldorf. It is the credible edible front guy for the meal to follow. The national dish of rice and peas tempers the heat of the Scotch bonnet pepper used in Jamaican seasoning and cooking. The “peas” are actually red kidney beans and this complete protein combination is flavored

with allspice and thyme along with a touch of coconut milk. Jerk is available as chicken ($16.50) and pork ($17). Jerk refers to both the seasoning blend that is worked into the meats and the slow-cooking that tenderizes and seasons the dish. In Jamaica, the wood from the pimento tree, source of the allspice berries, is used to gently perfume the meat. Some believe the word has its roots in charqui, Spanish for jerked or dried. The pork was very good. Seasoned with thyme, cloves, nutmeg and allspice, it was fragrant, succulent and tender; it was jerked pork cooked with confidence and heart. Undecided between curried chicken ($15) and seared tilapia ($18), our waiter declared the fish his favorite, so tilapia it was. The fish was fresh with a topping of onions, tomatoes and green onions, Scotch bonnet pepper and yellow and orange bell peppers were mild in the heat department but competently

cooked. The heat factor from the Scotch bonnet peppers (that are incendiary in the hierarchy of chili’s Scoville’s ranking) was very pleasant. Chili heads may request a side of hot sauce. Vegetarians will find a saute of fresh vegetables and an entree salad also available ($11). You enter “island time” at Runaway Bay, as all your food is cooked to order. Liquor licensing is a work in progress. So a Red Stripe or Appleton Estate rum will not be yours. Try the sorrel ($3), a traditional Christmas drink, made not from the sour grass plant of continental cookery but a member of the hibiscus family. Steeped with ginger and seasoned with sugar and spices and a splash of rum as a preservative, it has the tannin of cranberry and the refreshment quotient of tonic water. A visit to their website promises a range of Jamaican favorites such as bammie, a cassava root bread; “festival, Jamaica’s answer

to hush puppies; oxtail stew; curried goat; and callaloo, a leafy green similar to spinach. The escoveitched fish has been taken off the menu. This dish, similar to escabeche of Spain, marinates fish, cooks it and then serves it with the equivalent of “pickled” salsa on top. The Jamaican patties also are “toast” – parcels of ground meats wrapped in flaky, savory pastry once served with side salads. A streamlined and abbreviated menu currently is being served. We are hoping this is just the winter recess and the ambition of the website menu will return with the change in seasons. Runaway Bay has a spectacular location. Its owners cook with heart and soul. Its friendly staff will bring a smile to your face. With some fine-tuning on the operations and execution sides, it will be on its way to celebrating the island traditions that always have found a home in Charleston.

Get your hands on more fingers Special to The Post and Courier

o what’s the big deal with chicken fingers? It’s a fair question — and one worth sizing up, given the recent openings of Hubee D’s and Raising Cane’s. Seems there’s a fair living to be made from chopping up chicken meat, discarding the skin and bones, applying breading and dishing it up with some snazzy sauces. Like Hubee D’s, Raising Cane’s cops to using fresh — never frozen — chicken tenders. Unlike Hubee D’s — at least for the time being — Raising Cane’s is a chain.

Mount Pleasant store marks the chain’s first foray into the South Carolina market, and the second is slated to open soon at 7255 Rivers Ave., close to the hhgregg appliance and electronics center in North Charleston. Raising Cane’s plays it simple, offering just four options: The Box, The 3Finger, The Caniac and The

Sandwich. They all present a varying number of chicken fingers with the latter swaddling three inside a Kaiser roll. The Caniac ($8.99), as you may have guessed, is a supersize meal consisting of six chicken fingers, extra fries, coleslaw, Texas toast, dipping sauces and a large drink. The Box, accordingly, supplies four chicken fingers, and The 3-Finger, well, three. The fries are skinny and crinklecut, and the Texas toast is brushed with garlic. And as for the chicken fingers, they’re not especially crisp or crunchy, but they do retain the tenders’ natural juices. Which is fine, I guess. But for all the fuss — holey moley — they’re just fast-food chicken fingers. The Caniac from Raising Cane’s.

Chadwick discusses Woodlands’ recent changes

Special to The Post and Courier

n November of 2010, California native Andrew Chadwick joined the Woodlands Inn as executive chef. He brings with him a passion for the local cuisine movement and a plenty of Five Star and AAA Five Diamond experience. Q: There have been quite a few changes at Woodlands in the past year. Were you at all nervous to take on this position right now? A: On the contrary. It’s a really exciting time to join this team. From our new owners on down, there’s such an energy to the place. There’s new programming, special events and many more innovations to come in 2011. There is a fresh of breath air blowing

through Summerville! Q: You grew up and also studied in California. The food there is fresh and plentiful, as it is in the Lowcountry, but vastly different. Which cuisine do you prefer? A: I know this may sound like a stock answer, but the truth is that I love them both. Of course, I grew up and trained in California, where the slow and fresh food movements have their

Q: How have you changed the menu at Woodlands? A: Woodlands has always been renowned for serving quality cuisine, and in that respect, I do not differ from any my predecessors, all of whom set extremely high standards. What I have done

is expand a guest’s choices and refine our nightly tasting menu to complement the individual items we serve. We want you to know that it’s OK to come to Woodlands to just order appetizers and desserts! Q: How closely do you work with your service team when developing descriptions of your new menu items? That seems to be an important part of your philosophy. A: I work with the service staff very closely as they are at the front line conveying the approachability of our cuisine. Of course, it is my responsibility to first create a dish that is appealing, and then to describe it simply on the menu. Because of our ratings, area residents have often thought of Woodlands

as too stuffy or expensive. Through our new menus and other initiatives, we are changing that attitude. Q: You have started your own garden for the kitchen at Woodlands. What kinds of things are you planting now or getting ready to plant for spring? A: This is a really exciting project. It will be 1 acre, and we have plans to create a private dining experience on it. However, the produce comes first, and among other things, we will be planting peas, baby radishes, arugula, Bibb lettuce and baby beets. Our goal is grow the majority, if not all, of the produce we use from our own garden. Q: What is your guilty pleasure food? A: Lay’s Sour Cream and Onion potato chips!

Special to The Post and Courier

had my first Magner’s Irish Cider at Molly Darcy’s. It was poured perfectly by bartender Brandy Lowery, who knew everything about the Irish selections on draft and, of course, the whiskey choices. The cozy pub is great for these icy winter nights the Lowcountry is having, but the patio is sure to be a hit in the spring as well. Q: How long has Molly Darcy’s been open? A: We’ve been open since September. An Irish family runs the place. They came to Charleston and spotted this building and loved it. Q: What’s the idea behind it?

if you go WHAT: Molly Darcy’s. WHERE: 235 East Bay St. PHONE: 737-4085.

A: It’s an Irish pub, so we want to focus on great Irish whiskeys and a lot of good, traditional Irish foods. Q: Tell us about the menu. A: We have a lot of variety and a lot of Irish classics. Our No, 1 seller is the Shepherd’s Pie with the potatoes. We also have great sandwiches — our corned beef is made in-house. And people also enjoy the Irish breakfast, which is served all day. Q: What about the whiskey selection?

DENISE K. JAMES

Bartender Brandy Lowery. A: We have Tullamore Dew whiskey, which we use for our famous chicken wing sauce. We also have Irish Mist, which is more of

a liqueur, plus Powers, Michael Collins, and plenty of Jameson. We have Jameson 12 and 18 as well as regular. Q: Is there a certain whis-

key cocktail you make? A: I drink whiskey straight, and I recommend that other people do that, too. But I do serve Jameson with ginger sometimes. And people get car bombs a lot. Q: What shot do most people order? A: To be honest, Grand Marnier. But people are getting more adventurous, and the whiskeys are becoming more popular. Q: Any noteworthy Irish beers? A: On draft we offer Smithwick’s Irish Ale, Magner’s Cider, Harp, Bass and Guinness, of course! Q: Does Molly Darcy’s have happy hour specials? A: We have happy hour on weekdays from 4 until 7 p.m. We do $4 bloody

marys and margaritas, plus $3.50 wells and $2 domestic drafts. Also, we have food and drink specials on Sundays and Mondays during football season! Q: Any future plans? A: We have plans for regular live music on the patio once spring gets here. Also, we want to do karaoke Tuesdays and ladies’ night on Thursdays. We just got a new pool table, and we’re making a game room in the back. Q: Where do you like going in Charleston? A: Big John’s is a favorite of mine. I also love the Windjammer and the Pour House. Q: Any hangover tips for the Irish? A: Alka-Seltzer.

Spruce things up.

‘Season of the Witch’ isn’t even bad in a fun way BY CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Movie Critic

R60-423317

Home&Garden

Sundays in

o here’s the gimmick in “Season of the Witch”: It takes place during the 14th century, but everyone speaks in contemporary language, which might have been acceptable if the dialogue were clever or intelligent or funny or, you know, good. Instead, Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman are the knights who say ... nothing of any particular note in a supernatural action thriller that’s never actually thrilling. You expect this kind of schlock in January, but “Season of the Witch” isn’t even bad in an enjoyable way. The scenery is drab, the battles are interchangeable, and no one seems particularly interested in being here. At the same time, Dominic Sena (who previously directed Cage in “Gone in Sixty Seconds”) never flat-out goes for it in a schlocky, B-horror kind of way. What we’re left with is just bloated, boring and utterly forgettable. Cage isn’t even in full-on, wheels-off Cage mode here, sadly. He delivers his lines in a droning monotone, as if returning to the morose actor we knew in the late 1990s. The one moment in which he busts out, snarling and screaming with his eyes narrowed and his teeth gnashed, it’s such a relief. And then it’s over. When we first see his character, Behmen, he’s at the top of his game at the height of the Crusades, brutally slaying untold numbers of men in the name of God. With Perlman as his wisecracking sidekick, Felson, he’s unstoppable. But once he realizes that, whoa, wom-

‘The Green Hornet’ Too many superhero film ingredients leave a bad taste in your mouth The Orlando Sentinel

erhaps “The Green Hornet” is director Michel Gondry’s mocking wink at the Hollywood of masked heroes and the fanboys who made it that way. A violent, clumsy, jokey, badly plotted and miscast mess, “Hornet” almost makes sense, taken on those terms. Gondry is, after all, the director of “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.” “Green Hornet” is certainly not like any other masked-hero movie unless you remember “The Spirit” and the very, very bad parts in that film. It has all the superhero movie ingredients — rich, bored crime-fighting antihero, his sidekick, a coolerthan-cool car and a supposedly super villain. But Gondry, working from a miss or near-miss script by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, turns this film of the radio and then 1960s TV series into an epic miscalculation. A slimmed-down Rogen stars as playboy Britt Reid, who tries to ignore everybody’s words of condolence at his crusading publisher dad’s funeral. “You have some mighty big shoes to

Couple hits ground running with children’s clothing line

Special to The Post and Courier

ris Galmarini is teaching her daughter by example how to follow her dreams: take your doubt and cast it aside, throw your inexperience to the wind and believe that your creative dreams will manifest. This week, Kris and Bob Galmarini are celebrating the launch of their children’s clothing company, Neve Inspired. Their admired designs are hand-screen-printed organic cotton T-shirts, while the skirts and dresses are handmade with recycled material. Every piece of artwork is an original and is either hand or machine sewn. The

simple, childish joy: to celebrate it, capture it in our designs and dress our kids in it. The designs are influenced by our lifestyle and the things that make us smile ... the outdoors and bikes, text and symbols, the idiosyncrasies of where we came from and our new home in South Carolina,” the Galmarini’s said. Originally trained as a musician, Kris Galmarini is learning the art of sewing and designing as she goes, letting her intuitive eye for style and beauty guide her. About getting Neve Inspired off the ground, Galmarini said, “It wasn’t until recently that I finally listened to my heart and made the decision to follow this dream. Why become something else

if it isn’t truly who I am?” WEBSITES: www.neveinspired.com, www.etsy.com/ shop/NeveInspired, www. twitter.com/neveinspired. CONTACT INFO: kris@neveinspired.com. BIRTH DATE AND PLACE: April 20, 1981. RESIDENCE: West Ashley, four years. FAMILY: Husband, Bob; Daughter, Neve, 3; Son, Shepard, 3 months; dogs, Tug and Piper; and Jack the white cat. EDUCATION: Bachelor of Science in music business, California State UniversityNorthridge. CAREER: Domestic goddess, Spinning instructor, coowner of Neve Inspired and Realtor on the side. GOALS: To create and see

my clothes in stores near and far, to technically learn how to sew and make patterns, to see my frocks in Charleston Fashion Week, to be able to go a whole day without cleaning my house, to find the joy in my soul on a constant basis that is in every child, to travel the world with my family — having my children grow up experiencing other cultures and learning love and acceptance for all living things — and to have my children one day say, “We won the parent lottery.” PRICE RANGE: $18-50. WHERE IS YOUR ARTWORK FEATURED LOCALLY?: We are at Poe Studio, 819 savannah Highway; Pure Gifts, 1956 Long Grove Road, Mount Pleasant.

ACE’S ON BRIDGE By BOBBY WOLFF

When this deal came up in a local duplicate, several NorthSouth pairs tried to cash in on four spades by East-West, doubled. This was hardly unreasonable, but with the heart suit lying beautifully for East-West, there was no defense to the game. Of course, North-South could do much better than that. Say you reach five diamonds after West overcalled in spades and East made a pre-emptive raise to three spades, leaving you room to explore the hand more fully. Plan the play on the lead of the spade king. Many declarers won and immediately tackled clubs while they still had entries to the dummy in trumps. A good idea, but it did not work today. East won an early club and knew that continuing spades was fruitless. His heart shift let West cash two winners in that suit, for down one. Could South have done better? Yes,ifhehadduckedtheopening lead! Now he can discard a club on the spade ace and establish the clubs without letting East get the lead to play a heart through. Best defense is a trump at trick two, but declarer has enough entriestotheboardin diamonds to bring home 11 tricks. He wins the diamond shift, plays off the black aces, ruffs a club high, goes to the diamond 10, and ruffs a club high again. Then he goes back to the diamond queen to run the clubs and discard three of his four heart losers.

Wife takes weight loss to extreme

H O N O R I N G

KING BY REBEKAH BRADFORD

Special to The Post and Courier

ix million people signed a petition to create the national holiday that honors the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It was the largest petition in U.S. history. In 1983, President Reagan established Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This week’s trivia honors the civil rights leader. Bruce Sheffield is the reigning champ, and he’s taking on student Karen Liu.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

EAR ABBY: My wife went on a diet a year ago and lost a tremendous amount of weight. The problem now is she won’t quit. Every time I suggest she stop and put a few pounds back on, she gets angry and won’t speak to me. My wife isn’t anorexic, but I have a feeling she may be headed in that direction. She has no health concerns that either of us is aware of, and when I say anything she just says, “You wanted me thin, so now I’m thin!” Please tell me what I should do before her dieting gets out of control and becomes a serious threat to her health. — DISTRAUGHT HUSBAND OF A VERY THIN WIFE DEAR DISTRAUGHT: Your wife may have worked so hard to lose the weight

DEAR ABBY you urged her to lose that she hasn’t figured out how to stabilize and maintain it. Because you are worried that she may have gone off the deep end, the two of you should make an appointment with her doctor to discuss what a healthy weight is for her, and possibly get a referral to a licensed nutritionist who can help her establish a healthy maintenance plan. Write Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
