SOUNDS SIDE DISHES

THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS — Whiteout Conditions THE GOOD: Indie rock supergroup New Pornographers come back with its seventh.

THE BAD: This is the first NP record without key member Dan Bejar. He was wrapped up in recording the forthcoming Destroyer album. The man’s presence is missed, but his absence is not enough to derail “Whiteout.”

THE NITTY GRITTY: Singer/ songwriter A.C. Newman comes through with 11 new sparkling and catchy indie pop gems. Neko Case is in fine voice as usual, further

DAMS OF THE WEST — Youngish American

THE GOOD: Vampire Weekend drummer Chris Tomson releases his solo debut as Dams of the West.

THE BAD: Side projects always have the possibility of being hit-and-miss affairs. Side projects by drummers have twice that possibility, because drummers are rarely the songwriting force behind

showing her ability to not just handle the slow stuff, but skillfully belt out the big bouncy melodies, too. The bright electronics found across 2014’s “Brill Bruisers” add color once again, although guitars regain some of their strength this time out.

Highlights include the punchy male-female back-and-forth on lead single “High Ticket Attractions,” the seamless ear candy chugging throughout “This is the World of the Theater” and the swirling yet haunting duet “We’ve Been Here Before.” But there isn’t a bad track in the bunch.

BUY IT?: Yes. any band. Dams kind of falls into this trap. Adjust your expectations accordingly.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Produced by the Black Keys’ Patrick Carney, the album sounds rich enough; the overall drive and vibes not thin in the least bit. Tomson plays just about everything himself, other than the occasional string flourishes.

And some of these songs immediately pull you in with their catchy melodies (or at least their thumping grooves).

Too bad the lyrics are a tad trite or too damn self-indulgent at times. “When I sit down to write a record/Can I be more than just another sad white man.” The set also loses some of its sharpness across the second half; the songs slightly less intriguing.

BUY IT?: Your call.

CRAIG FINN — We All Want the Same Things THE GOOD: Hold Steady frontman Craig Finn comes back with his third solo effort within five years.

14:47 | POWELLANGE

THE BAD: Not really.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Some solo outings sound radically different from the artist’s work with his or her respective band. Not so much in Finn’s case. Although the guy does tend to be more of a direct storyteller on his own sets, creating wonderfully defined characters and spinning many detailed yarns.

This time, we meet the middleaged divorced guy with a user for a new girlfriend in “Tangletown.” Two acquaintances on a post-funeral road trip hook up in the Windy City during “God in Chicago.” “Jester & June” stars two outlaws way past their prime, left behind by any sort of criminal underworld. Practically every track is a little vignette with a hapless cast playing out their sorry events over a rich backdrop.

Finn also helps the listener become lost in the narratives; his vocals more expressive (desperate?) this time around. “The Same Things” steps out from behind the Hold Steady’s shadow.

BUY IT?: Surely.

Q: What is the process like for writing your music? Where do you pull your inspiration from?

A: It’s sometimes difficult to say where some inspirations come from when composing a new original tune. I do know that I wake up almost every morning with a melody going through my head. Most of my songs are written as a result of personal experience, things I see other people going through or my views of where our world is going. My style seems to be very melodic with dominant vocal and lyrical content. It’s just a whole lot of fun. It’s really good therapy.

Q: How have you changed as a musician over the years?

A: I’ve recently received an offer from Paramount Records after submitting a few of my original tunes. I’ve been carefully considering their offer while performing locally. I played on numerous TV shows, both locally and out of state.

I’ve also performed live on King’s College Radio 88.5, “Fab Four Hour” hosted by Edd Ranieri. In addition, I’ve had the pleasure of performing on WBRE’s “PA Live.”

Music therapy

West pittston folk artist credits melodic expression with with him through waters’ p pulling pulling g him through g ‘rough g ‘rough waters’ To David Cupano, music means more than performing or becoming famous. It fuels his creative fire.

“Music, to me, from the earliest age has always been the truest expression of who I am inside,” Cupano said. “It, along with my faith, has really pulled me through some rough waters.”

When not performing as one part of the Gypsy Magic Duo, Cupano plays a blend of classic and folk rock covers and originals across Northeast Pennsylvania, and previously performed live as far

as Canada and England.

The West Pittston native went On the Record to discuss his evolution in music and how he has remained successful over the years.

Q: How did you first get involved in music?

A: I started playing and singing at a young age after hearing some fabulous songs that a group called the Beatles were doing. I immediately knew I had to begin writing and singing my own songs, as well as other tunes I really enjoyed.

Q: What do you remember about the first time you performed in public?

A: I still remember my first public show was at the Goodwill Hose Company bazaar in West Pittston, where I lived as a child. What was I paid, you may ask — hot dogs and Pepsi for that gig; but, wow, there was finally a live audience. Since those early days I’ve gone on to perform and tour all over the country as well as Canada and England. I’ve also recorded in several major recording studios and have met and worked with many top name artists.

Q: How has the NEPA music scene changed over the years?

A: The local music scene has evolved into a somewhat “do more with less” situation, which influenced my decision to concentrate on solo performances as well as doing shows with Gypsy Magic Duo. Q: Do you have anything else you’d like to add that is important for people to know about you or your music?

A: My set lists include renditions of Beatles classics, folk rock, ballads and some more recent renditions of Great Big World and Shawn Mendes material. I’d like to think I do something for everybody. My emphasis is on delivering a strong vocal with solid guitar rhythms. I also play harmonica, drums, a little keyboards or whatever needs to be done. I do try to sneak in some of my original material also.

“Rough Night”

“ROUGH NIGHT” H 1/2

a buttoned-down type running for the state Senate in South Carolina. Paul W. Downs is her fiance, Peter, a sensitive wimp who can’t believe he’s landed Jess. (As one of Peter’s friends puts it, Peter is a six, while Jess is a 20.)

“Rough Night” doesn’t begin to cover it.

Neither Jess nor Peter nor any of the other charIt’s also “Painfully Unfunny Night,” “Contrived acters we see in the South Carolina scenes sound Night,” “Unsurprising Plot Twist Night” and also, “How like they’re from South Carolina.

convictions and is worried she’ll get hit with a 20-year prison sentence, and besides, we need the movie to continue, so instead of calling the police, these inebriated, babbling, squabbling, not terribly bright friends make one bad decision after another.

One minute “Rough Night” plays like “Weekend at Bernie’s.” Then it feels like “Bridesmaids.” Then it’s as if we’re seeing a spinoff of “The Hangover.”

Almost none of it feels original or fresh or spirited.

At times the attempts at outrageous comedy are flat-out off-putting. Blair basically prostitutes herself in an ill-conceived plan to recover some incriminating security tapes. Peter decides to drive down to Miami to find out what’s going on, and his plan includes strapping on an adult diaper so he won’t have to make bathroom pit stops, guzzling Red Bulls and ingesting drugs to keep him hyper alert. What a guy.

“Rough Night” is all the more disappointing given the director and co-writer is the talented Lucia Aniello from Comedy Central’s excellent “Broad City.” (Co-writer Downs, who plays the hapless Peter, also is a “Broad City” vet.)

Despite a wobbly Australian accent, McKinnon scores a few laughs as the strange but endearing Pippa. Johansson gamely throws herself into the mix, but she’s stuck playing an uninteresting, not particularly likable character. Just about everyone else, including Ty Burrell and Demi Moore as those skeevy sex-door neighbors, gets swept away by the tides of banal setups and forgettable punch lines.

Rough night for all of us.

“The Mummy” Given the A-list cast led by Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe, it’s astonishing this attempted horror reboot is so wall-to-wall awful, so cheesy, so ridiculous, so convoluted, so uninvolving and so, so stupid. Rated PG-13 for violence, action and scary images, and for some suggestive content and partial nudity. 110 minutes. H. — RICHARD ROEPER

With Mandy Moore and Claire Holt. Written by Johannes Roberts and Ernest Riera. Directed by Roberts. Rated PG-13. 89 minutes.

With Kat Graham, Lauren Cohan, Hill Harper, Jamal Woolard and Danai Gurira. Written by Jeremy Haft, Eddie Gonzalez and Steven Bagatourian. Directed by Benny Boom.

Rated R. 140 minutes.

— LOS ANGELES TIMES “Baywatch” When you make films from junk TV, more often than not you’re going to wind up with a junk movie. That’s the case for “Baywatch,” a sequence of plot developments even more over the top and ludicrous than the ding-dong-dumb storylines from the cheesy 1990s series. With Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron. Rated R for language throughout, crude sexual content, and graphic nudity. 119 minutes. H1/2.

“Cars 3” “Cars 3” Lightning McQueen faces a new generation of racers with the help of enthusiastic young race technician Cruz Ramirez and the wisdom of an old friend. Voices by Owen Wilson, Cristela Alonzo, Armie Hammer, Larry the Cable Guy, Kerry Washington, Nathan Fillion and Lea DeLaria.

“Table 19” (Comedy, PG-13, 87 m., 2017). In a sometimes clunky, utterly harmless modern-day takeoff on “The Breakfast Club,” Anna Kendrick plays a maid of honor who falls out of favor and is exiled to a remote table of outcasts at the wedding reception.

I’d rank Will Arnett’s raspy, alternately heroic and ridiculous version of the Dark Knight as one of the top three Batman performances of all time.

Featured artists include Audrey Flack, whose work pioneered the art genre of photo realism, and Elaine de Kooning, an abstract and figurative expressionist painter during the post-World War II era, who created commissioned portraits of President John F. Kennedy.

Regional artists found a place in the exhibit, too, such as Priscilla Longshore Garrett and Mary Butler as well as Hope Horn, a painter, sculptor and educator who dedicated her life to Scranton’s art community and became the namesake of University of Scranton’s art gallery. The works of “Women of the Everhart” stretch across several types of mediums including paper, textiles, paintings, still life and sculpture.

“There’s a lot of variety,” Giguet. “It’s a little bit of something for everybody and pieces everyone can take something away from.”

Several high school and college classes came

through to see the exhibit already, and Giguet insists residents don’t need to travel far to see great pieces. Art by women may be hard to find but Everhart works to bridge that gap in Northeast Pennsylvania.

“You don’t have to go to the big city to get a big museum experience,” Giguet said. “We have it right here in Scranton.”

Favorite food?

Pizza.

WITH ALAN K. STOUT

Favorite place to vacation?

When I was on the road, I used to love to play at the Outer Banks in North Carolina for a whole week. That’s one of my favorite places.

Teddy Wielgopolski, best known as Teddy Young, is a professional musician who will officially release his third album, “Movin’ On,” in July. He has been a steady performer in the clubs of Northeast Pennsylvania for the past 25 years and offers guitar lessons at Music Go Round in WilkesBarre Twp. Young is a native of Wilkes-Barre, grew up in Pittston and is a graduate of Bishop O’Reilly High School. He also studied art at Luzerne County Community College and music at Wilkes University.

He has two sons, Jake, 16, (a guitarist) and Jude, 13 (a bassist). They live in Avoca.

Meet Teddy Young …

When did you first start playing the guitar?

I started when I was nine, and I’m 44 now, so it’s been 35 years. I was playing gigs at age 16 or 17. My dad started me off with piano lessons when I was six or seven, but that didn’t work out too good. (Laughs.) When I was nine, he asked if I was interested in guitar, and he bought me a little acoustic starter guitar, which I still have. When I was 12 or 13, I started to really put things together, musically, and started to really spend a lot of time at it. The first Led Zeppelin album was probably my biggest inspiration at the time.

Favorite thing about NEPA? I love the area. I think it’s a great place to raise kids. For the most part, you don’t have a lot of the problems that you do in other areas. I love the food. I love the diversity, and I think there is a lot of diversity. And for me, in Avoca, I’m about three miles from Scranton and seven miles from WilkesBarre. For what I do, that is so ideal. And I’ve been all over, and musically, I think this area has some of the most talent, per capita, than anywhere in the country. And that goes for jazz, that goes for rock, that goes for blues ... I truly believe that.

Favorite holiday?

Fourth of July.

Guilty pleasure?

I like to have a few beers.

Is there anything about you that might surprise people?

I’m pretty outgoing when I’m out, but I tend to be pretty quiet in my personal life. I tend me be very reserved. I love my home life. I enjoy my yard, and cutting my grass, and just being with my kids.

Have you had a moment in your life that has really helped shape you into the person you are today?

My father encouraging me and steering me towards music certainly defined me. Without that, I never would have picked up an instrument. My father never played, but he felt it was an important thing. That was career defining. And the other thing, as a person, would be my children. That completely changed my life forever. When you have kids, you realize you’ve never been so in love in your life. It’s an amazing thing.

WINE

LIquID

WIth DAvID fALChEk

SoAkING uP thE SuDS WIth JAMES CRANE Hey, remember how I was talking about fruit IPAs last column? They fulfill a very specific niche that couldn’t be farther away from wine-cooleresque, alcoholic Kool-Aid, flavored malt beverages. They can be distinctive and complex — a far cry from the sugary taste of a Jolly Rancher.

The synergy has something to do with this new wave of IPAs happening. Once upon a time, the mark of a quality IPA was that it was hard to drink. IBUs, or International Bittering Units, saw a constant rise. Every IPA was in an arms race to be the most pungent. There has been some really interesting change in this area.

However, I don’t mean it to sound as if I’m talking down on those brews. I frankly enjoy a beer that is bitter just for the sake of being bitter. Consequently, it’s nice to have some variety.

The hop bud can exhibit many other qualities and it’s nice to see them get their air time. Many IPAs today focus on the floral aspects or the pine qualities. They can be peppery, resiny or even slightly minty.

The hop flower also can carry with it undertones of citrus.

Enter the fruit IPA. This week, I’m going for another Stone Brew.

Where last column’s brew was berry-centric, Stone’s tangerine Express IPA goes a different route. There are many breweries that would cause me to worry about this combination, but not Stone.

Never once have I felt as if their beers tasted like anything other than beer.

The pour was a golden orange color with a rather thin white head.

While it wasn’t terribly prominent, it did linger for the vast majority of the glass. There was some light lacing as well, but nothing like some of their heavier beers.

There was a lot going on in the scent. Unsurprisingly, there was a lot of hops up front, mixing in with citrus.

This wasn’t the scent of orange juice, however. It was as if I also could smell the bitterness of the peel and the scent of the flesh itself. There was some pine and a bit of yeast under it, too, but it was mostly just hop and citrus.

The taste was as overwhelming as Stone flavors generally are, but not in the normal way. It was hoppy, sure, but there also were many citrus notes. The bitter rind taste blended perfectly into the hops while still being quite juicy.

It was pithy and just ever so sweet. While the tangerine was quite prevalent, there also was lemon, grapefruit and black pepper, likely coming from a combination of the hops and the yeast. Once the tongue gets used to the hops a bit, you can indeed taste the malt backbone, but it certainly is not the star here.

If you look for it, you can even taste the pineapple. If the bottle didn’t tell me it was there, I would have overlooked it. It’s not very in your face. Instead, it somehow manages to bridge everything else together.

While not quite a session beer, this one did go down a little easier than some of Stone’s other offerings without losing any complexity. If Stone is going to keep doing things like this to their IPAs, sign me up. I could use the vitamin C.

thRoW tRADItIoN out thE WINDoW, AND WINE oNto ICE AND INto uSED WhISkEy BARRELS I used to hate stemless wine glasses when Reidel introduced them. Now, for certain casual moments, they are my go-to wine glass. I also used to look sideways at screw-cap tops, but now I don’t think twice.

While I’m not a complete philistine, stickler or traditionalist when it comes to wine, I find some practices off-putting. I’m going to look at two of these that are going mainstream: Champagne, real Champagne, designed to be drunk on the rocks and red wine aged in used whiskey barrels.

Drinking wine on the rocks is a time-honored tradition in Northeast Pennsylvania. I’ve had to stop bartenders from filling my glass with ice after ordering a chardonnay during an open bar because, evidentially, that is how most people drink it. For some over-the-top, over-oaked, tropical and buttery chardonnay, dilution may not be bad idea.

But as a general rule, ice will dilute and suppress the flavor of wine.

Enter blue chip Champagne house Moet & Chandon Imperial Ice Rosé, a lovely white jacketed bottle covered in directions and assurances about serving on ice.

When poured, the wine foams beautifully. Full of flavors of mandarin orange and peach, the authentic Champagne and Moet quality show through the gimmickry. It didn’t last, though. Once any drink gets too cold, it smells and tastes like nothing. The effervesce dissipated quickly. On ice, this wine was high maintenance and had a short half-life, and I found myself working to pay attention. In Pennsylvania, you can get the white version in stores for $60. HHHH. It’s not as if the notion of drinking wine on the rocks came from nowhere. People of a certain age could not escape the jingle “Riunite on ice, Riunite’s so nice.” Just as overwrought chardonnay is possibly improved on ice, so is the juicy, rich, low-alcohol Riunite Lambrusco Emilia. No one will accuse this wine of being complex or profound, but it is juicy, full of plum and grape character with some sweetness and just enough acids to cut its

way through straightforward food like pizza, or as I enjoyed it, with the Pennsylvania-specialty stromboli. $7. HHH1/2.

When I think of aging wine in Bourbon barrels, I think of the early Eastern wine industry. Cashstrapped wineries in New York, Pennsylvania and similarly-situated states scoffed up used Bourbon barrels to age their wine in. Bourbon-making guidelines require new barrels, used only once, so there are many used Bourbon barrels looking for a home. The results of this shortcut were horrendous. A barrel can soak up about 10 pounds of whiskey, ready to be imparted to wine.

The practice is making a comeback. This time, wineries want to derive Bourbon character into the wine. You don’t have to go far to find these infusions. Renegade Winery, a downtown winery in Stroudsburg, puts wine into barrels from Dad’s Hat distillery. The results are different and flavorful.

But I’m still left wondering why?

None other than Robert Mondavi Private Reserve is involved. If the cabernet sauvignon from Southern California doesn’t offer enough flavor on its own, try the mouthful that is Robert Mondavi Winery Bourbon Barrel-Aged Monterey Cabernet Sauvignon.

With smells of cedar and jam, this boosey-tasting, dark chocolate, berry syrup bash in the palate will wipe out your taste buds for at least a few hours. In a happy accident, I used a glass that had contained the Mondavi Bourbon wine for another red wine. The remnants enhanced the other wine. $15. HHH. If these extensions of the use and enjoyment of wine appeal to you, dig in.

RiveRFest on the susquehanna RetuRns FoR weekend oF enteRtainment, educational activities

K

ayaks, environmental exhibitions, live music and more mark the annual RiverFest along the Susquehanna River.

The Riverfront Parks Committee-run event aims to raise awareness about the waterway that cuts through the Wyoming Valley and to educate those who live within the river’s reach, while also providing a fun-filled weekend for families.

The event kicks off at 4 p.m. on Friday, June 23, in Nesbitt Park, Kingston, with a food truck rally and live musical performances, and continues on Saturday, June 24, in the park.

According to John Maday, executive director of the Riverfront Parks Committee, the event has been ongoing for more than 20 years, but has drastically increased in size since its inception.

The nonprofit group began with just a few informational tables but, eventually, the event grew to span three-days full of educational activities, food and live music as well as canoe and kayak paddle trips down the Susquehanna River.

Each day of the event, a different river trip takes place — West Pittston to Wilkes-Barre on Friday; Harding to Wilkes-Barre on Saturday and Wilkes-

Barre to West Nanticoke on Sunday. Participants meet at Nesbitt Park and then take a shuttle bus to the starting location.

For the second year in a row, RiverFest begins with a food truck rally organized by Maday and Mike Raub of Metz foods. Some of the trucks at the event will include Manning’s Ice Cream, Nina’s Bitemobile, Southwest Savory Grill, El Jefe, Sweet Lush Cupcake Camper and Sammy’s Caribbean Grill among others.

New to the activities this year are demonstrations by 24th Connecticut Recreated Militia Revolutionary War reenacted military regiment and Five Mountain Bear Clan Native American teaching village. The reenactment group will set up an encampment on Saturday to honor those involved in the Wyoming massacre that occurred during the Revolutionary War. Five Mountain Bear Clan sets up its village — teepees and lodges included — prior to the beginning of RiverFest.

“They’ll have a fairly large presence on site,” Maday said. “They’re coming as early as Thursday and camping over until Saturday. It’s a big deal. They’ll have stuff for kids and adults.

They like to teach about the Native American ways and traditions. They’ll have hand crafts for kids to work with.”

In addition to the new groups attending, the standard RiverFest items remain on the docket for Saturday, ranging from fly-casting practice, birds of prey and live mammals exhibitions to guided nature walks, painting a community mural and pony rides.

The environmental tent will be filled with more than 40 booths of educational and environmental information provided by the Riverfront Parks Committee.

“Because we’re an environmental organization, every event we host has a component of that,” Maday said. “We’re a teaching organization. We have to get the people into our classroom. We have to get them there and have to make it fun in order for them to learn.

“Everything we do is environmental educationbased,” Maday added. “We’ve committed for a long time. We’re all volunteers. We’ll continue to do it as long as people come to our events, we can recruit volunteers and are able to get financial support from the community.”

Couple from the Caribbean brings taste of their native countries to Wilkes-Barre Garfield and Carleen Hartman opened the Hartman Jerk Center in april in order to fully realize their dream of bringing their Caribbean food and culture to Wilkes-Barre.

photo by charlotte l. jacobson

In Caribbean culture, food creates distinct connections between people and other cultures.

For Carleen and Garfield Hartman, the Hartman Jerk Center created a space to share their love for their home countries and their native food.

The couple opened the Caribbean restaurant in April with hopes of bringing the flavors of both Jamaica and Guyana to Wilkes-Barre.

“We migrated from New York about five years ago, and we noticed there was not much of a variety of our culture around here,” Carleen Hartman said.

After serving Caribbean fusion-styled food out of a parking lot in downtown Wilkes-Barre for some time, the couple jumped on the opportunity to open up shop where a sushi restaurant previously stood.

And the restaurant itself embodies the culture of the Caribbean.

Upon walking into the 35-seat restaurant on South Main Street, customers are greeted by a bright yellow welcome mat. Strains of reggae music flow through the eatery and 25 small flags that represent each of the Caribbean nations hang above the countertop.

Larger flags from Guyana, Jamaica and the United States are posted on the walls as a nod to the owners’ countries of origin as well as their current home.

Garfield Hartman cooks each dish for the restaurant, blending his experience cooking in the Army, hints from his grandmother and the influence of flavors he grew up surrounded by. “(Garfield) is Guyanese and I’m Jamaican,” Carleen Hartman said. “The food is a sort of fusion between both. It’s authentic Jamaican and Guyanese ... We all (in the Caribbean) eat the same foods. We might call it something different, or cook it in a different way, but it’s the same food.”

Some customer favorites include oxtail and butterbeans and variations of jerk fish, chicken and pork.

“We can’t have enough oxtail,” Carleen Hartman said. “We’re here working from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., and we constantly have oxtail cooking. People love it because of the flavor and the way it’s cooked.”

Other specialties include a featured soup every Friday, ranging from cow foot and chicken foot to goat head soup. Each Friday, the restaurant also serves national dishes such as ackee and salt fish or callaloo with salt fish, which are served with festival dumplings.

When asked about future goals for the restaurant, Carleen Hartman quickly said she wanted to open two more restaurants — one in the Poconos and one in Hazleton.

Though, she said they would also like to expand into Scranton as well, due to requests from residents in those regions.

“I love meeting different people from the different cultures,” she said. “When they come in, they first check to see if their flag is up there. And every single flag from inside here, I’ve seen someone come in from that place.”

The restaurant gained a widespread fanbase through radio ads and word of mouth, she added. One customer, originally from St. Lucia, drove more than two hours to get to the restaurant, tacking on additional time on for getting lost along the way. But when she arrived, the restaurant had every bit of food she was hoping for.

“She sat down, ate her food and said it was well worth the drive, that she’d definitely be back,” Carleen Hartman said with a smile. “Those are the things I’m happy for.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): There are places in the oceans where the sea floor cracks open and spreads apart from volcanic activity. This allows geothermally heated water to vent out from deep inside the earth.

Scientists explored such a place in the otherwise frigid waters around Antarctica. They were elated to find a “riot of life” living there, including previously unknown species of crabs, starfish, sea anemones and barnacles. Judging from the astrological omens, Aries, I suspect that you will soon enjoy a metaphorically comparable eruption of warm vitality from the unfathomable depths. Will you welcome and make use of these raw blessings even if they are unfamiliar and odd?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): When I was four years old, I loved to use crayons to draw diagrams of the solar system. It seems I was already laying a foundation for my interest in astrology. How about you, Capricorn? I invite you to explore your early formative memories. To aid the process, look at old photos and ask relatives what they remember.

My reading of the astrological omens suggests that your past can show you new clues about what you might ultimately become. Potentials that were revealed when you were a wee tyke may be primed to develop more fully.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I often ride my bike into the hills. The transition from the residential district to open spaces is a narrow dirt path surrounded by thick woods on one side and a steep descent on the other. Today, as I approached this place, there was a new sign on a post. It read, “Do not enter: Active beehive forming in the middle of the path.” Indeed, I could see a swarm hovering around a tree branch that juts down low over the path. How to proceed?

I might get stung if I did what I usually do. Instead, I dismounted from my bike and dragged it through the woods so I could join the path on the other side of the bees. Judging from the astrological omens, Aquarius, I suspect you may encounter a comparable interruption along a route that you regularly take. Find a detour, even if it’s inconvenient.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I bet you’ll be extra creative in the coming weeks. Cosmic rhythms are nudging you towards fresh thinking and imaginative innovation, whether they’re applied to your job, your relationships, your daily rhythm, or your chosen art form. To take maximum advantage of this provocative luck, seek out stimuli that will activate high-quality brainstorms.

I understand that the composer André Grétry got inspired when he put his feet in ice water. Author Ben Johnson felt energized in the presence of a purring cat and by the aroma of orange peels. I like to hang out with people who are smarter than me.

What works for you?

PsycHOLOGIcALLy sOuNd sTRAIGHT TALk FROm syNdIcATEd cOLumNIsT Amy ALkON THE GREAT WALL OF VAGINA My girlfriend of two years had me help her download photos from her phone, and I found about two dozen close-ups of her private parts. She said she was “just curious.” Well, okay, but why not use a mirror? Besides, she’s in her 30s. Surely, she knows what her parts look like without a photo shoot. Do you think she took these to send to another guy?

— Disturbed

Men aren’t used to women being preoccupied with their girl parts. Even in Redneckville, you never see a woman hanging a rubber replica of hers off the back of her pickup.

The truth is, not all women went for a look-see down there with a hand mirror at age 14. Recently, some women may have gotten inspired to do some cameraphone sightseeing thanks to the increased visibility of the ladygarden via free internet porn, the mainstreaming of the waxed-bald vulva and giant ads for labiaplasty (aka a facelift for your vagina).

Though it’s possible that your girlfriend is texting these to other guys, consider what anthropologist Donald

Symons calls the human tendency “to imagine that other minds are much like our own.” This can lead us to forget about biological sex differences, like how men, who are in no danger of getting pregnant from sex, evolved to be the less sexually discriminating half of humanity. Note that women don’t have to text photos of their naked bits to get sex; they just need to text their address and tell the guy not to dawdle.

It’s hard for many people to tell whether another person is lying, especially when they’re invested in believing otherwise. Borrowing from research methodology, a way to figure out whether a lone ambiguous event might be meaningful — like whether the panty hamster pictorial might mean what you dread it does — is to see how much company it has. (In other words, is it part of a pattern?)

Look back on your girlfriend’s behavior over your two years together. Does she act ethically — even when she thinks nobody’s looking? Does it, in fact, mean something to her to do the right thing? Being honest with yourself about whether she has a pattern of ethical corner-cutting will allow you to make the best (that is, most informed) guess about whether you have something to worry about — beyond coming home to a, um, new addition to the

Psycho sudoku

Each of the 26 letters of the alphabet is represented in this grid by a number between 1 and 26.

Using letter frequency, word-pattern recognition, and the numbers as your guides, fill in the grid with well-known English words (HINT: since a Q is always followed by a U, try hunting down the Q first). Only lowercase, unhyphenated words are allowed in kaidoku, so you won’t see anything like STOCKHOLM or LONG-LOST in here (but you might see AFGHAN, since it has an uncapitalized meaning, too).
