Ciao, amici! I canhardly believe that weare into our fourth
week of school. It is nice tofeel settled in.
We have developedroutines, such as going toour favorite café for lunch:Alex Bar. It’s this adorable,quaint restaurant rightaround the corner fromour school. They have a
different homemade pastaevery day, and the staff isalways the same. They’vecome to recognize us nowand always greet us with akind “Ciao” — hello andgoodbye.
We know where all themain spots are and haveeven had some really coolexperiences. One day,there was a large crowddeveloping outside theRoma Nike store. We saw alot of Kobe Bryant jerseys,and, upon listening andreading a decal high on thestore window, we learnedthat Bryant was making anappearance there.
We also had anunforgettable concertexperience. If any of youlisten to electronica,maybe you have heard ofAfrojack. I love his music,and we found out he wascoming to Rome. Ticketswere only 25 Euro, so myfriends and I went and hadan absolutely fantastictime. There were probably500 people in this chicclub, and lights weretinting the room purpleand pink while everyonewas in constant motion
until the early morning.We had some amazing
food and drink adventuresthis week. We went to oursecond wine tasting withMarco, a member of thestaff at our school, and wetook a pasta-making class.We have learned abouthow to correctly identifythe shade of a wine andhow to pinpoint its scent,its components and othersensory elements of sight,smell and, of course, taste.

LACIE GOFF / FOR THE SOUTHERNNBA player Kobe Bryant caused quite a stir at the Nike storein Rome, where he made an appearance.
DID YOU KNOW?Kobe Bryant spent much time growing up in Italy
because his father played professional basketball herefor eight years. Kobe has said there’s a good chancehe’ll play for an Italian pro league in the future.
Our pasta-making instructor was from Bologna, Italy,and she informed us that tagliatelle is traditional pastafrom the town. Though the shape looks like fettuccine, itis a separate, distinct type of pasta.
GOFF: Feeling at home in RomeFROM PAGE 2
I felt like a true wineconnoisseur, swirling thewine in my glass andlooking at the “legs” ofthe wine. The classes areevery other week, and Ican’t wait to participate inthe next one.
Pasta-making class wasphenomenal. Myroommate and I felt it wasa must to sign up, and itwas such a greatexperience. I wasn’t surehow difficult it would beto make our own pastafrom scratch, but itactually isn’t nearly ashard as you might think.Our teacher was an expertpasta maker, and she tookus step by step, helping usalong the way.
We ended up withtagliatelle pasta, which we
cooked and ate for dinnerthat night, and it wasdelicious.
I cannot wait to makemore homemade pasta.And, now that we’relearning more about wine,maybe I could nowactually pair the pastawith a wine that willmatch.
Buon appetite e a presto!Ciao!

Listening to mainstreamcountry music radio,one would think the
youth of America arepacking coolers loadedwith their favorite adultbeverage to a rural bonfireevery Friday and Saturday.If the ritual occurred asfrequently as it’s portrayedin song, there wouldn’t be atwig left in the OzarkMountains.
Singers simply use thereference to conjure upvivid memories of growingup in sparsely populatedareas, where people workhard all week, then partyhard on the weekend, whilethey hunt and fish, or skin
a buck and run a trot line.Justin Moore is able to
deliver a powerful messagefull of emotion aboutgrowing up in a tinycommunity because hisroots were firmly planted inhis hometown of Poyen,Ark. A sign proudlyshowing the population is272 sits in his grandpa’sfront yard.
Moore tapped into thememory of being raised ona 100-acre farm to createhit songs like “Small TownUSA,” “Backwoods” and“How I Got To Be ThisWay,” all from his debutself-titled 2009 album.
His chart topping single“If Heaven Wasn’t So FarAway” has been nominatedfor MainstreamInspirational Country Songof the Year, an award whichwill be handed out Oct. 28in Nashville, Tenn. Hiscurrent single, “Bait aHook,” is accompanied by avideo which featuresNASCAR superstar CarlEdwards.
“I’ve learned everyone isproud of where they arefrom, and it doesn’t matterwhat size it is,” Moore says.“With the way oureconomy is right now, it’s
evolved into a state ofmind. Everybody isstruggling and feeling likethey’re walking inquicksand. At the end ofthe day, they have a placeto come home to and foodis on the table.”
Moore is country to thecore. His grandfatherpacked him into a deerstand before his firstbirthday. He startedsinging at 3 and was aconstant featuredperformer in church. Hewon his first talentedcontest when he was 8.
His early influencesincluded Willie Nelson andWaylon Jennings, plus thepure traditional sound ofVern Gosdin and JohnAnderson.
“I grew up on old-schoolcountry,” he says.
Attending college on abaseball scholarship, heimmediately knew he madea bad decision. After justtwo weeks, he quit schooland moved to Nashville in2002. He was just 18.
In Music City, he quicklymet rising-star producerJeremy Stover, whointroduced him to musicexecutive Scott Borchetta,who told him to remain
patient and he would givehim a record deal. While hewaited, Moore honed hisskills as a songwriter.
The process took sixyears, but Borchettaeventually signed Moore tothe Big Machine LabelGroup, where he joinedTaylor Swift, Rascal Flattsand Martina McBride.
Moore’s debut single in2008, “Back That ThingUp,” peaked at No. 38 onthe Billboard singles chart.His follow-up, “SmallTown USA,” soared to No.1. He was the only newcountry artist in 2009 toreach the top of the charts.Billboard Magazine namedthe fiery singer New Artistof the Year in 2009.
The momentum carriedover to the next year.Moore was namedBreakthrough Artist for2010 by Music Rowmagazine.
Moore released hissecond album, “OutlawsLike Me,” on June 21. Itcontained his biggest hit todate, “If Heaven Wasn’t SoFar Away.”

BY JOE SZYNKOWSKIFOR THE SOUTHERN
Scott Avett sits patientlybackstage, waiting for hiscue to sound-check hisbanjo, piano andmicrophone that will beentertaining the rabidDallas crowd a few hourslater. Avett is not usually
one for reflecting on theaccomplishments of his10-year-old NorthCarolina-based band, TheAvett Brothers, but on thisafternoon he allowshimself to do so.
“The first time we evervisited Texas, all three ofus had the severe flu andwere in really bad shape,”Avett said in his deepSouthern drawl. “We wereplaying 30-minute setsand we were justhorrendous. We playedHouston, Austin andDallas, which was the lastday of the run. We werefeeling a little better atthat show and it seemedlike our Dallas fan basegrew a little quicker thanthe other two. Now they’reall really terrific places toplay.”
On Tuesday night, TheAvett Brothers will bringtheir folk rock music toanother strong fan base inCarbondale, as SouthernLights Entertainment andOutback Concerts host theband at SIU Arena.Following up on siblingsScott and Seth Avett’s
former rock band Nemo,the group combinesbluegrass, country, punk,pop and many other stylesto produce a sound all itsown.
This won’t be the band’sfirst visit to Carbondale.Avett recalls playing the“very tall stage” at TheCopper Dragon inSeptember 2008. “It’salways great to get theopportunity to play forcollege kids,” Avett said.“You can’t stop in acollege town withoutvisiting the coffee shopsand bookstores.”
A lot has changed for
The Avett Brothers —Scott Avett, Seth Avett(singer/guitar), Joe Kwon(cello) and Bob Crawford(upright bass) — sincetheir last trek throughSouthern Illinois. They arecurrently wrapping uppost-production on theirnew album, their secondstudio effort withlegendary producer RickRubin. The Avett Brothers’big-label debut in 2009, “Iand Love and You,’features 13 songs and wasproduced by Rubin, whosigned the band to hislabel in 2008. Rubin hasworked with many of the
music industry’s elite,including Johnny Cash,Tom Petty, The DixieChicks, Metallica andAdele.
In February, The AvettBrothers played theircatchy “Head Full ofDoubt, Road Full ofPromise” at the 53rdannual Grammys beforesharing the stage with BobDylan for a rendition of“Maggie’s Farm.” Thenational spotlight hasfollowed the band since,and has led to some well-deserved recognition.
The group sure hasn’tbeen handed anything,reaching the top of themusic world through hardwork and brotherlyharmony. Their first threealbums were recorded inthe shop of Scott andSeth’s father. “We alwaystalk about how great thosetimes were,” Avett said.“That is still a reallyvibrant time period in thehistory of our band.”
Formed in 2001 inCharlotte, N.C., The AvettBrothers have performedmore than 2,000 shows.
Their latest release, lastyear’s Live Vol. 3,showcases the tenacityand energy that radiatesthroughout their concerts.One of the album’s mostpassionate crowdreactions comes duringtheir rendition of “Murderin the City,” especiallyfollowing the lyrics:“Always remember, thereis nothing worth sharinglike the love that let usshare our name.”
The Avetts havedeveloped theirsongwriting skills over theyears, and their messageshave remainedconsistently creative. It isa combination ofpowerful, polished lyricsand the controlled chaosof its live shows that setsThe Avett Brothers apart.
“Stage presence isobviously very importantto us and it’s somethingthat just comes withbelieving in what you’representing,” Avett said.“The best shows weencounter from ourperspective are the onesthat have great variety.”

BY MICHAEL PHILLIPSMCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS
Whatever yourrelationship (ardent,platonic, nonexistent) tothe Alexander Dumasstory about Athos,Porthos, Aramis and thelionhearted musketeerintern, D’Artagnan,there’s a word for thelatest screen edition of
“The Three Musketeers”:whatthehell?
Seriously: What thehell? Those who favoredthe callous aggravationsof the recent Guy Ritchie-directed “SherlockHolmes,” a film withoutwhich “The ThreeMusketeers” would beunthinkable, may forgivethe grating, chaotic brandof storytelling andfilmmaking here moreeasily than I. The director,Paul W.S. Anderson,brings to this costumeparty the same battering-ram sensibility he broughtto “Alien Versus Predator,”“Death Race” (which Iliked, actually) and theongoing “Resident Evil”franchise. The 1844Dumas adventure classicis now a steampunk’dmigraine. Clashing swords— 3-D swords in yourface! — purloined jewelsand court intrigues nolonger suffice. This moviecouldn’t give a rip aboutthat stuff. It exists for its
digital airborne sailingvessels and deadly retro-futuristic flamethrowers.
Somewhere in thereyou’ll find a trio ofcynical, out-of-workmusketeers, the casualtiesof “budget cuts,” as one ofthem notes early on. “Ithought you’d all be alittle more ... heroic,” saysD’Artagnan, played by a
haircut in search of anactor in search of aperformance namedLogan Lerman. Wrongmovie! These three arehomicide machines, or atleast maiming machines,given to slow-motiongamer-style “kills.” Nomatter the clothes, themusketeers may as well becalled The Dirty
Quarter-Dozen.Leonardo da Vinci, we
learn, has drawn up plansfor a deadly flying “warmachine,” a combinationof dirigible and seafaringgalleon. In the prologueAthos (MatthewMacfadyen), Aramis (LukeEvans, the one most likelyto be mistaken forOrlando Bloom, who playsthe Duke of Buckingham)and Porthos (RayStevenson) sneak intoVenice on a special-opsmission. Theiraccomplice, Milady deWinter, is played by MillaJovovich, who is marriedto the director, whichexplains that. Soon shebetrays the lot, allyingherself with CardinalRichelieu on the one hand
and the Duke ofBuckingham on the other.Christoph Waltz snivels asRichelieu while Bloomswans around andconsistently lets theenergy dribble away fromhis dialogue scenes. Notthat director Andersoncares about dialogue. Buthe’s a numbskull withaction.
Written by Alex Litvak,who wrote “Grayskull”and “Predators,” andAndrew Davies, whoadapted “Pride andPrejudice” for Britishtelevision, this horseyversion plays as thoughany two people involved inthe making of the picturefailed to have a singleconversation with anyother two people.
