No loNger adrift at sea Melodic Melodic Metal Metal group group the the aegean aegean finds finds its its groove groove with with addition addition of of new new vocalist vocalist to to lineup lineup Melodic metal group, The Aegean, formed f d from severall locall bandds, butt wiithin the lastt year found d its currentt lineup. The group consiistts off Dave Kline on guiitar, Corey Lombardo on vocals, Matt Rodriguez on drums, Ken Huber on guitar and Nick Hennebaul on bass.

For melodic metal group the Aegean, the sum is greater than its parts.

Formed from several local bands, the Nanticoke-based group pieced itself together in 2016 upon discovery of vocalist Corey Lombardo. With the missing link in place, members knew it was time to get their music out to the public.

“That feeling of relief when we finally found Corey after about two years of trying to find a vocalist that fit in with what we were trying to do — it was like a weight was lifted,” guitarist David Kline said.

After some ups and downs, the Aegean seems to have found its groove. Kline went On the Record to discuss the band’s progression over the years, and how musicians from Northeast Pennsylvania and surrounding regions affect the way he views music.

Q: Where did your band name come from?

A: Pretty much out of nowhere. I was really into Greek mythology as a kid, so I’m assuming it probably stemmed from that.

16 J u l y 1 3 , 2 0 1 7

Q: How did you each get involved in music?

A: We’ve all been playing music in some facet since we’ve been in high school. It’s just something that happened then, and snowballed from there.

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

A: The lack of a crowd for our set.

Discouraging as it was, it was still good to finally play our first show out after a couple years of writing and practicing.

Q: What is the process like for writing your music?

A: I generally write most of the guitar parts with the aid of Kenny (Huber, the group guitarist), arrange the structure of the song, make a rough recording, email the files to the rest of the band so they can start working out their respective parts, put it all together at practice and then fine tune it from there.

15:06 | POWELLANGE

Q: How have you changed as musicians over the years?

A: Much more disciplined. I learned a while back from a close friend and amazing musician in his own right that, in most cases, less is sometimes more.

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

A: Lots of different things have happened. Most notably for me is the closing of a lot of venues over the last 10 years, which really put a damper on things. But this area still has a ton of insanely talented bands and musicians, and as long as that’s the case, then the scene will keep trucking.

Q: Who has influenced you over the years?

A: For me, personally, I’d have to say Ryan Klubeck, the other guitarist and main songwriter of the first serous band I was in. It was similar in sound to the type of metal that the Aegean is playing, and

that’s because my style of writing is very heavily influenced by that band and Ryan himself.

Q: What is the biggest challenge you have faced as a musician?

A: Finding a solid drummer and vocalist in a sea of guitar players.

Q: What are your future goals for the band?

A: Nothing other than to write music we enjoy playing, and having as much fun as we can with it.

OPENING THIS WEEK

NOW PLAYING

“SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING” HHH 1/2

“Couldn’t you just be a friendly, neighborhood Spider-Man?” — Tony Stark, tempering expectations for 15-year-old Peter Parker.

Spider-Man wants to save the world. He wants to be an Avenger. He wants to soar with the likes of Iron Man and Captain America.

Fortunately for us, the adventures in “SpiderMan: Homecoming” are indeed more of the friendly neighborhood variety.

Three cheers for that.

Tell me you’re not experiencing a few symptoms of Save the Universe Fatigue after a seemingly nonstop parade of huge-budget superhero movies in which various caped and costumed crusaders engage in epic, ultimate-stakes battles with various warped and evil villains — with the fate of EVERYONE FOR ALL TIME in the balance.

Even with a goodly amount of explosions and action and expensive-looking CGI sequences, “Spider-Man: Homecoming” is a relatively and refreshingly scaled-down adventure, with at least as many scenes set in high school as in the skies.

At times it plays like a 21st-century version of a John Hughes teen-angst romance/comedy meshed with a superhero saga.

On the heels of the “Spider-Man” trilogy from the 2000s starring Tobey Maguire and the reboot with Andrew Garfield (a fine actor who looked too old for the part), this is yet another early-arc story about the bright and chipper but hardly streetwise Peter Parker/Spidey. Mercifully, it isn’t an origin story that goes all the way back to that radioactive spider biting young Petey, the tragic death of Uncle Ben, etc.

Those pivotal but oh-so-familiar events have already happened when we pick up the story here.

We were introduced to the terrific and well-cast Tom Holland as the teenage Spidey in “Captain America: Civil War,” and the potential Holland displayed in limited screen time in that film flourishes in “Homecoming.” Holland delivers a winning performance as the 15-year-old Peter, a high school sophomore from Queens juggling classwork, his work with the Academic Decathlon team and what he calls his “internship” with Stark Industries — not to mention keeping secrets from the loving but smothering Aunt May (Marisa Tomei, and yes,

20 J u l y 1 3 , 2 0 1 7

“SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING” the film makes a couple of references to Aunt May being quite the looker).

Director Jon Watts and the team of screenwriters do a fine job of juggling parallel (and then eventually intersecting) storylines.

Michael Keaton has already played a Batman and a Birdman, so why not the Vulture? The great Keaton has never been afraid to go big with a performance, but he’s actually a bit muted here (which makes it more interesting) as a chip-on-hisshoulder criminal mastermind who purloined some leftover bits and pieces from Avengers headquarters and converted them into deadly weapons.

(He’s also fashioned a fantastic if somewhat clunky winged contraption that enables him to fly, which of course invites a few chuckles as we recall Keaton’s previous endeavors as a flying man.)

Meanwhile, Peter keeps pestering Tony Stark’s right-hand man, Happy (Jon Favreau), for another assignment with the Avengers. Tony Stark himself (Robert Downey Jr.) shows up from time to time, either in person or via cutting-edge technology, to oversee Peter’s activities and to tell him to slow his roll.

So Peter spends his days plotting adventures with his best friend, Ned (Jacob Batalon, funny and likable), pining over a smart and sweet senior student named Liz (Laura Harrier) and bungling

e le c tric c ity

TS_CNG/EC_DC/PAGES [E20] | 07/12/17

15:06 | POWELLANGE

his way through various efforts to thwart criminal activity in the neighborhood. (A typical misadventure: Peter “captures” a guy trying to break into his own car.)

“Spider-Man: Homecoming” is breezy fun.

Holland and Batalon are a hoot as classic high school friends — one a little bit nerdy, but earnest and handsome and coming into his own, the other a full-on and cheerfully self-aware geek whose idea of a great night is building a giant Lego Death Star.

The budding romance between Peter and Liz rings true. Zendaya scores some laughs as a cynical rebel student. Donald Glover steals a scene as a small-time crook who sizes up Spidey and realizes he’s dealing with a neophyte. A handful of familiar characters from the Marvel Universe pop in here and there.

Only occasionally does “Homecoming” stumble.

A major late surprise defies credulity, even within this fantastical world. The same could be said of a major sequence in which Happy oversees the transportation of all sorts of invaluable Avengers assets.

The best thing about “Spider-Man: Homecoming” is that Spidey is still more of a kid than a man.

Even with his budding superpowers, he still has the impatience, the awkwardness, the passion, the uncertainty and sometimes the dangerous ambition of a teenager still trying to figure out this world.

tempted 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

NOW PLAYING “Baby Driver” Edgar Wright's "Baby Driver," about a savant of a getaway driver (Ansel Elgort) working for a criminal mastermind (Kevin Spacey), crackles with originality and dark humor and teems with perfectly timed action sequences.

If you see this movie and tell me you didn't have a great time, we're going to have to talk about your idea of a great time. Rated R for violence and language throughout. 113 minutes. HHHH — RICHARD ROEPER The Beguiled: Colin Farrell delivers one of his finest performances as a wounded Union soldier nursed to health by the headmistress (Nicole Kidman), teacher (Kristen Dunst) and students of a school for girls in the Civil War South. Sofia Coppola’s beautifully filmed, languorous and haunting period piece focuses very little on the battle at hand while delving deep into psycho-sexual issues. Rated R. 94 minutes. HHH1/2.

The House: Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler star as a couple who lose their daughter's college fund and launch an illegal gambling operation in their basement. With Jason Mantzoukas, Nick Kroll, Allison Tolman. Written by Brendan O'Brien & Andrew Jay Cohen. Directed by Cohen. Rated R. 88 minutes.

— LOS ANGELES TIMES

It Comes at Night: In this unconventional horror film, a family hides out in a secure, isolated home as something apocalyptic occurs outside.

After much debate, they decide to take in some visitors. The superb cast does a wonderful job of keeping us guessing as to everyone's motives.

Rated R for violence, disturbing images, and language. 95 minutes. HHH. — RICHARD ROEPER The Mummy: Given the A-list cast led by Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe, it’s astonishing this at-

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales: Even if you haven’t seen any of the previous entries in this initially entertaining but sometimes overblown Disney franchise, “Dead Men” works well enough as a stand-alone, swashbuckling comedic spectacle, thanks to the terrific performances, some ingenious practical effects and impressive CGI. Johnny Depp, Javiar Bardem and Geoffrey Rush ham it up. Rated PG-13 for sequences of adventure violence, and some suggestive content 129 minutes. HHH. Transformers: The Last Knight: The usual noisy Michael Bay mess, starring Mark Wahlberg and Anthony Hopkins as guys who protect good Transformers from pesky governments and bad Transformers. More ludicrous than usual, if that's possible. Rated PG-13 for violence. 157 minutes.

HH. — GARy THOMPSON, THE PHILADELPHIA INquIRER

SMALL SCREENS best mates still seriously messed up. This sequel to the 1996 hit has one foot firmly planted in nostalgia and the other rooted in the present. Everything old feels new again, and everything new has the look of an original and blazing piece of art. Rating: HHHH.

“Life” “The Fate Of The Furious” (Action, PG-13, 136 m., 2017). In the franchise’s eighth film, Vin Diesel now plays the bad guy, but Jason Statham has joined the heroes, and people have switched sides so many times it’s enough to give your brain a flat tire. The plot is idiotic, the supposedly snappy quips are lame, and it’s all delivered in an extremely bloated package. Rating: HH. “The Zookeeper’s Wife” (Drama, PG-13, 126 m., 2017). The latest story of unsung World War

II heroes tells of Antonina Zabinski (a glowing performance by Jessica Chastain) and her husband, Jan, who risked their own lives as they harbored hundreds of people in their bombed-out Warsaw zoo and helped funnel them to safety. It’s powerful, gauzy, sentimental and almost too restrained.

Rating: HHH. “T2 Trainspotting” (Drama, R, 117 m., 2017).

Now living the straight life, Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) returns to Edinburgh to find his former

“Life” (Sci-fi thriller, R, 104 m., 2017). Despite an A-list cast headed by Jake Gyllenhaal and Rebecca Ferguson and one very cool and labyrinthine spaceship, this stylish and at times fantastically gory monster thriller eventually crashes and burns due to a script that requires really smart people to act like dopes far too often. Rating: HH. “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. It’s the kind of movie that will help you kill 90 minutes in light-chuckle fashion on a flight.

Rating: HH 1/2.

“The Lego Batman Movie” (Animated actionadventure, PG, 104 m., 2017). 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. The superhero/supervillain dynamic is explored in a clever, funny and sweet manner, through a constant explosion of candycolored visual treats. Rating: HHH 1/2.

“John Wick: Chapter 2” (Crime thriller, R, 122 m., 2017). With the stylish pulp thriller “John Wick” in 2014 and this equally entertaining and even more action-jammed thriller, Keanu Reeves’ stoic, black-clad, one-man killing machine has become THE go-to bad guy/action hero of the 2010s. Who would have guessed? Rating: HHH 1/2.

GRADE: HHHH Excellent, HHH Good, HH Fair, H Poor.

Where electronic, dance and rock music meet, there’s Camp Bisco.

The music festival, which features acts ranging from EDM to jam music to hip-hop to rock, returns to its home for the past two years — the Pavilion at Montage Mountain, 1000 Montage Mountain Road, Scranton — from Thursday, July 13, to Saturday, July 15.

Camp Bisco started in the late ’90s as the brainchild of the Disco Biscuits, a Philadelphia-borne jam band. According to Biscuits keyboard player and Bisco co-founder Aron Magner, the Pavilion is a perfect home for the festival due to its proximity all around.

“There’s a special set of pros to having (Bisco) in Scranton,” he said during a recent phone interview from his home in Philadelphia. “Not just its proximity to major metros, but you can leave the campsite and have all these hotels and other amenities. And people can still camp and have that experience, too.

“There’s also a water park right in the middle of the festival,” he added. “There’s not many places you can be in the lazy river or the wave pool and dancing to your favorite band.”

The musical experience is just as unique as the venue, Magner said. At its inception, the “ethos of Camp Bisco” was a chance for the Biscuits to introduce their fans to the music they liked and, in turn, a chance for fans to tell the band what kind of music they liked. The other artists didn’t necessarily sound like the Biscuits, he said, but they made music that was complementary. The process changed slightly over time,

Electronic rock jam band Lotus will perform during Camp Bisco music festival at the Pavilion at Montage Mountain, which runs from Thursday, July 13, through Saturday, July 15.

but the mission remains.

“We would sit around with a pen and paper and kind of go down this rabbit hole of who to bring into the fold,” he said. “Now, instead of just the Disco Biscuits, it’s a team of people and we all put our heads together. But, we really keep with the essence of what Camp Bisco is and create the best fan experience.”

With a range of music and different kinds of artists, bands like Lotus, which has rock roots mixed with electronic and house, find a place at Camp Bisco. Jesse Miller, who plays bass and sampler for the band, said that at festivals like Peach Music Festival (a festival Lotus also plays at the Pavilion in August), the band is one of the more dance-oriented

and electronic acts, while at Bisco, with its abundance of DJs and EDM acts, they lean more toward the rock side. The Biscuits’ festival allows for that spectrum and for Lotus to bring its signature mix of genres.

“We’ve seen the days when electronic dance music and rock music did not have places to come together,” Miller said during a phone interview from his Philadelphia home. “Over time, these two things got closer to where the lines eventually started to cross and blur. Camp Bisco was always a place where you could find these two things come together before it was necessarily the norm.”

With a plethora of music and genres offered, there is something

for every music festival lover at Camp Bisco. Miller joked the festival’s only real worry is the skies.

“Fingers crossed the weather holds out,” he said. “That’s always the toss-up at a festival.”

Rain or shine, however, fans come to Bisco each year for the chance to bond over their love of music.

“It’s a community of like-minded fans that are all in this together, in what is Camp Bisco,” Magner said.

“It’s an intangible experience to be able to have one collective borg — for lack of a better word — of 25,000 people all supportive of each other and the community and the music and everything that makes up the message of Camp Bisco.”

What: Camp Bisco music festival When: Thursday, July 13, through Saturday, July 15.

Guests with RV passes may arrive Wednesday, July 12, at 4 p.m. Those with VIP camping parking can arrive at 8 p.m., and all other guests may arrive at 10 p.m.

s dietrich theater k’ oc nn ha nk tu to s al return Summer Film Festiv films with more than 20

or movie buffs in the area, the Dietrich Theater in Tunkhannock will be the hottest summer spot over the next few weeks. The theater’s annual film festival runs from Friday, July 14, through Thursday, Aug. 3, and will showcase a total of 23 films over 21 days, with “something for everyone,” said assistant general manager Ronnie Harvey.

“This year we have an expanded list of 23 independent, foreign and documentary films that range from music concert biopics, historical docu-dramas and films that capture the heart of family struggle and the bonds that unite us in our humanity,” he said.

Harvey said the event began with the intention of bringing foreign and independent films to the local area — those that previously could only be found in major cities such as New York City.

“As the years progressed, we realized the viability of these festivals for their ability to bring in people from outside of the area, and that they were a big boon for not only us, but the local businesses in town,” he explained.

“We saw the desire and passion surrounding these films and this festival, and decided that we were in the business of giving the public what they wanted.”

The festival’s opening night will feature two films. “Paris Can Wait,” a rated-PG road trip comedy starring Diane Lane and Alec Baldwin, screens first. After intermission will be a showing of “Their Finest,” rated R, based on the novel “Their Finest Hour and a Half,” which tells of a female script writer who is asked to help bring a heartwarming touch to propaganda films during the war.

Other films to be shown throughout the three-week festi-

val include “Alive and Kicking,” “Churchill,” “The Freedom to Marry,” and “Mr. Gaga.”

Harvey said his personal favorite is “Beatriz at Dinner,” starring Salma Hayek and John Lithgow, which tells events that unfold when the lives of a poor immigrant and a cutthroat billionare collide.

Since its inception, the popularity of the film festival continued to grow along with the number of films screened to its enthusiastic audiences.

“With each passing year, we see an expanded audience, and the old die-hards never leave,” Harvey said, adding that increased demand from the public caused the theater to schedule more festivals throughout the year.

Admission to opening night festivities on July 14 will cost $25 and includes both films as well as appetizers, drinks and dessert. Admission to all other films will be $8.50 per screening. The festival concludes with a film discussion on Friday, Aug. 4, at 1 p.m. to give the public a chance to share ideas and opinions on the festival’s content.

“We have an expanded concession area with new specialty drinks and products that might better cater to our film festival attendees,” Harvey said, noting that the Dietrich’s reputation for providing quality arts, entertainment and culture to the public makes it a good place to hold the festival.

“We think it is very important to provide this type of programming to our area because they don’t usually get the kind of exposure to other cultures, religions and areas of the world that they do outside of these movies.”

Jesse Faatz is a freelance photographer specializing in event and marketing photography. He is also the event coordinator at Montage Mountain Resorts. Faatz is a native of Blakley and is a graduate of Valley View High School. He studied IT and graphic design at the Pennsylvania College of Technology. He and his wife, Staci, live in Taylor.

Meet Jesse Faatz …

When did you first discover your love for photography?

My father was a professional photographer on the side when I was growing up, back when film was still popular. Through the years, I was always exposed to it. I always liked to help him set up for studio portraits and just be a part of it. I would basically be his little helper. Years later, I got into graphic design, and I started doing some design for local clients — mostly bands — and I was being provided with some photos that weren’t the most professional. Maybe a friend snapped it for them, or something like that, and I had one or two bands ask if it was something I could help out with. My father had recently purchased a digital camera, and being an old-school film photographer, he had trouble learning the settings. So he kind of passed it along to me and said, “Can you help me figure this out?”

And that’s really where my love for photography really blossomed. I took on a couple of band shoots and seemed to do OK with it, and I was able to integrate the photography into the design side. Fast forward a year or so, and I kind of lost interest in the design side and went full into the photography.

What do you enjoy the most about working at the Montage ski slope and water park?

I’m a part of an amazing team. My supervisor has taught me so much over the past two years and I’ve really grown as a marketing professional.

And being able to work with our team has just really brought it home. I grew up skiing Montage.

One of my first jobs was actually there in the rentals department. Now in the event coordinator position, in addition to all of the winter events that we do, I’ve been able to put on some great beer festivals and wine festivals and adult swim nights.

I’ve basically done nothing but broaden my skills since I’ve been here, and that’s directly attributed to Jeff Slivinski, the director of marketing.

UP CLOSE & PERSONAL

Who is your favorite national artist that you’ve ever photographed?

Pearl Jam. It was the opportunity of a lifetime to be able to shoot them. And coming out of that shoot, somehow my images got into the band’s hands and landed on the landing page of their official website.

My name was there, and four of my photos were featured right on their homepage. It was very humbling, after years of work, to not only be able to shoot one of my favorite bands but also have the band using my images, sharing them on Instagram, on Facebook and on their webpage. It was very humbling and kind of still gives me goose bumps to this day.

SOUNDS

TEXAS ROCKS! CANADA DOESN’T

GO FEVER – Go Fever THE GOOD: Austin indie rockers Go Fever offer up a superb debut full-length.

THE BAD: Nope.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Go Fever is actually three Texas boys fronted

by Australian vocalist/lyricist Acey Monaro. Blessed with a charming but not overpowering accent, Monaro sounds like a cross between a slightly rougher Neko Case and a less polite Sonya Aurora Madan (Echobelly).

She’s the perfect vocal complement to all the banging below; the guys churning out a mix of rock, pre-Beatle pop, surf and just a

dash of Tex-Mex by way of classic Sir Douglas Quintet. It’s a sound that’s distinctly Southern, yet completely separate from the various musical hubs in Tennessee or the Georgia swamps.

Vintage organs ring out alongside buzzing guitars over rocksteady backbeats. Monaro’s melodies across the top are exquisite yet possess genuine rock teeth. It’s a divine dusty (and danceable) concoction that should sound equally great in a beer-soaked Dallas roadhouse or hip Boston draught house.

Distinct well-crafted pop knows no boundaries.

BUY IT?: Definitely.

MOTHER MOTHER – No Culture THE GOOD: Canadian alt-rockers Mother Mother unleash their sixth.

THE BAD: So glossy. So calculated. So boring.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Co-produced by Brian Howes, a guy who’s worked with the likes of Skillet, Puddle of Mudd and Nickelback (asleep yet?), the new record is catchy and tight. Try to resist the

26 J u l y 1 3 , 2 0 1 7

ooey-gooey sing-song chorus of “Love Stuck.” The backbeats kick, the guitars growl and the harmonies are slick. What’s not to love?

Plenty! “No Culture” goes down like a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos. Yes, I just compared this record to a snack chip. The music may feel great in the moment, but all is instantly forgotten once the CD or Spotify stream clicks off. Just like so many empty calories, there’s no real substance here.

From the teenage rebellion running through “Back in School” to the heartbreak sprinkled atop “The Letter,” pretty much every song is a cliché. Plus the melodies and arrangements are utterly predictable. Textbook “safe” modern rock.

BUY IT?: No way. Life’s too short for insignificant music.

you slipped into a Lady Antebellum set by mistake (never a good thing).

THE NITTY GRITTY: The group is comprised of three singer/songwriters (Dylan Guthro, Breagh MacKinnon and Carleton Stone) who already had established solo careers in their native country. Now, they’ve come together to offer up a polished blend of country, modern folk, rock and pop. The album ends up a tight collection of decent songs, cozy melodies and airtight harmonies.

At the same time though, the tracks come off as too precise, too polished. “Port Cities” was produced by Gordie Sampson, a Nashville songwriter who’s penned tunes for the PORT CITIES – “Port Cities” likes of Carrie Underwood, Blake Shelton and RasTHE GOOD: Canadian altcal Flatts. So maybe the lack of authenticity here is pop outfit Port Cities release his fault. I don’t know. What I do know is that the their long-awaited (up North, record morphs into “pretty background music” all anyway) debut. too quickly.

EMPTY BOTTLES

FinD ThE RiGhT PinOT GRiGiO BY AVOiDinG BiG BRAnDS AnD BOTTLES OLDER ThAn 2015

BLEACHERS ANDREW MCMAHON Pinot grigio is in the throws of popularity right now. Clearly, the Italian wine industry has responded, hoping to maintain its claim on this style of the grape. But in doing so, wineries drive up production and overall quality fails. We saw the same thing happen with merlot, and see it happening now with pinot noir.

Many of the pinot grigio coming from Italy tastes like all Italian white wine tasted a generation ago — like lemon water. In that last generation, many Italian whites emerged as hidden treasures — the sophisticated falahangina and arneis, the satisfying grillo and trebbiano.

It’s sad to think that so many gems go undiscovered because of their lower profile while they are overshadowed by the pinot grigio juggernaut.

Even Santa Margherita, the brand that created the pinot grigio trend, isn’t what it used to be.

I tried a few samples of Italian pinot grigio. The tasting started uninspiring but got better. Generally, northern Italy makes better white wine, and this is particularly true for pinot grigio, which is a coolweather grape whose flavors get cooked off in the hot weather of much of central and southern Italy.

Big brands tend to not do a very good job.

Ruffino “Lumina” Pinot Grigio Della Venezie 2015 is crafted for the mainstream market with ripe

fruit and sweet lemons but a short, if non-existent, finish. $9. HHH. Antonutti 2015 Pinot Grigio Friuli is an improvement, offering a bit more structure and flavor. The wine has a sweet lemon and mineral character with a round texture and balanced acidity. $12. HHHH. Generally, the further north you go in Italy, the better the white wines. That includes regions such as Alto Adige and Veneto. One of the northern regions includes Dolomiti, the Dolomite Mountains.

Tiefenbrunner is a well-known producer.

Tiefenbrunner Pinot Grigio Vigneti delle Dolomiti 2015 is generous and refreshing with floral and apple characters. A bit grassy, with a mineral and crisp finish. $14. HHHH. I would also recommend Elena Walch, Ketmeir and Alois Lageder, all northern Italian producers.

But avoid pinot grigios older than 2015.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It’s not your birthday, but I feel like you need to get presents.

The astrological omens agree with me. In fact, they suggest you should show people this horoscope to motivate them to do the right thing and shower you with practical blessings. And why exactly do you need these rewards?

Here’s one reason: Now is a pivotal moment in the development of your own ability to give the unique gifts you have to give. If you receive tangible demonstrations that your contributions are appreciated, you’ll be better able to rise to the next level of your generosity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Other astrologers and fortune-tellers may enjoy scaring the hell out of you, but not me. My job is to keep you apprised of the ways that life aims to help you, educate you and lead you out of your suffering. The truth is, Taurus, that if you look hard enough, there are always seemingly legitimate reasons to be afraid of pretty much everything. But that’s a stupid way to live, especially since there also are always legitimate reasons to be excited about pretty much everything. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to work on retraining yourself to make the latter approach your default tendency. I have rarely seen a better phase than now to replace chronic anxiety with shrewd hope.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): At least for the short-range future, benign neglect can be an effective game plan for you. In other words, Gemini, allow inaction to do the job that can’t be accomplished through strenuous action.

Stay put. Be patient and cagey and observant. Seek strength in silence and restraint. Let problems heal through the passage of time. Give yourself permission to watch and wait, to reserve judgment and withhold criticism. Why do I suggest this approach? Here’s a secret: Forces that are cur-

28 J u l y 1 3 , 2 0 1 7

rently working in the dark and behind the scenes will generate the best possible outcome.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. “All life is an experiment.” I’d love to see you make that your operative strategy in the coming weeks, Cancer.

According to my analysis of the astrological omens, now is a favorable time to overthrow your habits, rebel against your certainties and cruise through a series of freewheeling escapades that will change your mind in a hundred different ways. Do you love life enough to ask more questions than you’ve ever asked before?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Thank you for contacting the Center for Epicurean Education. If you need advice on how to help your imagination lose its inhibitions, please press 1 if you’d like guidance on how to run wild in the woods or in the streets without losing your friends or your job, press 2 if you want to learn more about spiritual sex or sensual wisdom, press 3 if you’d like assistance in initiating a rowdy yet focused search for fresh inspiration, press 4 for information about dancing lessons or flying lessons or dancing-while-flying lessons, press 5 for advice on how to stop making so much sense, press 6.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The cereus cactus grows in the deserts of the southwestern U.S. Most of the time it’s scraggly and brittle-looking.

But one night of the year, in June or July, it blooms with a fragrant, trumpet-shaped flower. By dawn, the creamy white petals close and start to wither.

During that brief celebration, the plant’s main pollinator, the sphinx moth, has to discover the marvelous event and come to gather the cactus flower’s pollen.

I suspect this scenario has metaphorical resemblances to a task you could benefit from carrying out in the days ahead. Be alert for a sudden, spectacular and rare eruption of beauty that you can feed from and propagate.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If I had more room here, I would offer an inspirational Powerpoint presentation designed just for you. In the beginning, I would seize your attention with an evocative image that my marketing department had determined would give you a visceral thrill. (Like maybe a photoshopped image of you wearing a crown and holding a scepter.) In the next part, I would describe various wonderful and beautiful things about you. Then I’d tactfully describe an aspect of your life that’s underdeveloped and could use some work. I’d say, “I’d love for you to be more strategic in promoting your good ideas. I’d love for you to have a well-crafted master plan that will attract the contacts and resources necessary to lift your dream to the next level.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’re entering into the Uncanny Zone, Capricorn. During your brief journey through this alternate reality, the wind and the dew will be your teachers. Animals will provide special favors.

You may experience true fantasies, like being able to sense people’s thoughts and hear the sound of leaves converting sunlight into nourishment. It’s possible you’ll feel the moon tugging at the waters of your body and glimpse visions of the best possible future. Will any of this be of practical use? Yes! More than you can imagine. And not in ways you can imagine yet.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): This is one of those rare grace periods when you can slip into a smooth groove without worrying that it will SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I advise you degenerate into a repetitive rut. You’ll feel natural against snorting cocaine, MDMA, heroin or bath and comfortable as you attend to your duties, not salts. But if you do, don’t lay blank or numb. You’ll be entertained and educated out your lines of powder on by exacting details, not bored by them. I conclude, a kitchen table or a baby’s therefore, that this will be an excellent time to lay diaper-changing counter in a the gritty foundation for public restroom.

Please competitors and diminish observe similar care with any other activity that the negative influences of involves altering your consciousness or changing the way you see the world. Do it in a nurturing loca- people who don’t empathize with you, now is the time. tion that ensures healthy results. P.S. The coming weeks will be a great time to expand your mind if you do it in all-natural ways such as through PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “There is a direct conversations with interesting people, travel to correlation between playfulness and intelligence, places that excite your awe, and encounters with since the most intelligent animals engage in the provocative teachings. greatest amount of playful activities,” reports SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In late 1811 and early 1812, parts of the mighty Mississippi River flowed backwards several times. Earthquakes were the cause. Now, more than two centuries later, you Sagittarians have a chance — maybe even a mandate — to accomplish a more modest rendition of what nature did way back then. Do you dare to shift the course of a great, flowing, vital force?

I think you should at least consider it. In my opinion, that great, flowing, vital force could benefit from an adjustment that you have the wisdom and luck to understand and accomplish.

National Geographic. “The reason is simple: Intelligence is the capacity for learning, and to play is to learn.” I suggest you make these thoughts the centerpiece of your life in the coming weeks. You’re in a phase when you have an enhanced capacity to master new tricks. That’s fortunate, because you’re also in a phase when it’s especially crucial for you to learn new tricks. The best way to ensure it all unfolds with maximum grace is to play as much as possible.

THE TRUTH ABOUT STATS AND DOGS I’m a woman looking for a new boyfriend and considering various online dating sites. Some have long questionnaires, and they factor your answers into an algorithm to match you with the best possible partner. Are these sites significantly better than the others?

— Site Seeker

Most people will tell you they want to be accepted for who they really are — yet those doing online dating rarely post profiles with stuff like “I like long walks on the beach, fine dining and obscenely large breasts.”

In light of this, sites using these compatibility algorithms would seem to have some added value. However, according to a massive online dating analysis by social psychologist Eli Finkel and his colleagues, this algorithm stuff mainly seems to be a “science!”-flavored marketing ploy. The researchers explain that it’s “virtually impossible” for sites to do what they promise with these algorithms: “match people who are uniquely suited to one another” and who are likely to have a “satisfying and lasting long-term relationship” together.

As the Finkel team notes about the “uniquely suited” business: The evidence suggests that these algorithms

are really no better at rooting out compatible partners than the matching most people already do themselves with sites’ search parameters — culling the herd of breathing, profile-posting humans down to, say, fellow Ph.D.s who are also weekend Satan worshippers. (“Shall we meet at the Starbucks by your office, or are you up for an afternoon of ritual goat slaughter?”)

Even more outrageous are the sites’ claims that this mathematical alchemy can identify two people who can have a lasting, happy relationship together who have yet to even meet. The researchers point out that the algorithms only measure the “individual characteristics of partners” (personality, attitudes, values, background). They note that this is just one of three essential variables that determine whether relationships sink or swim.

The other two are elements that can’t really be sussed out before two people are in a relationship. One is the “circumstances surrounding (a) couple” — like how they fit into each other’s family and whether one loses their job or goes through other major stressors. The other factor is the “interactions between the partners” — how partners communicate, solve problems and support each other.

I would add an essential fourth factor that needs to be

assessed face to face — physical attraction. So, regarding those “29 dimensions of compatibility!” that one site advertises, consider, if you will, 30 and 31: discovering “this must be what dead bodies smell like when the detectives cover their nose with a hanky on TV” and “I’m as sexually attracted to you as I am to a stalk of wheat.”

There’s also the “garbage in, garbage out” problem (statisticians’ shorthand for how poor-quality input leads to poor-quality output). It’s unlikely that people are any more honest and accurate in filling out these questionnaires than they are in their online dating profiles. (No, sadly, outside the world of “gender-fluid” activism, being a woman isn’t just “a state of mind.”)

Typically, deception in online dating profiles is intentional; sometimes — as research on personality finds — we can’t quite see ourselves as we really are. For example, take an item on one of these sites’ compatibility surveys: “I try to accommodate the other person’s position.”

There are seven little circles on a scale to blacken in, from “not at all” to “very well.” Well, okay, but do control freaks always understand that they’re control freaks? Sometimes somebody seriously controlling might fill in “very well” on “I try to accommodate...” simply because they see themselves in the best light — instead of the actual light: “I’m Stalin — though I’ve never been able to grow much of a mustache.”

Probably the best that can be said about these personal-

ity questionnaires is that they might lead you into a little helpful introspection. But otherwise, these tests seem as pointless as they are grueling (kind of like filling out an application for a bank loan for your personality).

This isn’t to knock online dating itself, which offers really rapid, easy access to a lot of potential partners whom you’d probably never meet otherwise. However, it helps to have a smart strategy vis-a-vis the potential pitfalls, and that’s meeting any person you think might be a possibility ASAP (before you have any long, bond-y text-athons).

Meeting pronto gives you the best shot at seeing whether you click, as well as spotting any vast differences between profile and reality. And as I always advise about first dates, keep it cheap, short and local. Less investment means less disappointment if you find out a guy’s lying — or, maybe worse, if he’s being honest: He really is looking for his “partner in crime” — because one of the guys on his robbery crew got arrested last week.

Psycho sudoku

Psycho sudoku -- “greater-than sudoku” For this “greater-than sudoku,” i’m not giving you any numbers to start off with! Adjoining squares in the grid’s 3x3 boxes have a greater-than sign (>) telling you which of the two numbers in those squares is larger. Fill in every square with a number from 1–9 using the greater-than signs As a guide. When you’re done, as in a normal sudoku, every row, column, and 3x3 box will contain the numbers 1–9 exactly one time. (Solving hint: try to look for the 1’s and 9’s in each box first, then move on to the 2’s and 8’s, and so on).
