pg 4 | maroonweekly.com | 08.21.13

Kicking off the semester in grand fashion, the Brazos’ premier dancehall is bringing one of our own to the stage for an epic fall launch party. Roger Creager will debut his “Creager Kegger” tour right here in College Station at Hurricane Harry’s on August 23.

Creager sat down with us to discuss his current chart-topping single, what we can expect from the show, and of course…some Aggie football.

MW: Your current single, For You I Do, has been sitting nicely atop the Texas charts for a number of weeks; did you foresee that type of success?

Creager: Well you always hope for that type of success. It wound up being our seventh number-one on the Texas charts. We also put out a video for the song, and it was the first time that CMT has ever played a video of mine. They play a handful of videos from independent Texas artists, but this is the first time they have ever done one of mine. It was kind of a milestone in that respect.

MW: You shot that video in Steamboat earlier this year, was it as much fun to make as it looked on the screen?

Creager: Absolutely not. It was freezing cold. It was the day after Music Fest, and we had been up partying for five nights, skiing for five days, drinking too much, eating too little, and staying awake too long. If you notice, in the video, all of us are wearing sunglasses. It was rough. It was freezing, early in the morning, and just a horrible combination.

MW: Well you covered it up enough to be featured on CMT, so it had to be worth it.

You’re bringing your new “Creager Kegger” tour to Hurricane Harry’s on Friday, what can your fans expect from this new set of shows?

Creager: Well, it’s going to be a party, just like the name implies. I’ve wanted to this for a while, I thought of the idea for “Creager Kegger” a long time ago. I’ve

just wanted to do something different and sort of special. We’re still working on some of the details, but it will be a party for sure.

MW: With all the touring, planning, song releases, and filming you’ve been doing, have you had time to do any writing lately?

Creager: I have, I’ve done a little bit. I stay so busy, and I always feel like songwriting takes a backseat. I’m really trying to make an effort to focus more on that and put out more music. That’s the one area where I’ve fallen behind. I’ve always just put out music so slowly, but I’m trying to make it more of a priority.

MW: The last time we sat down and talked, we spent a lot of time discussing Texas A&M’s debut SEC season. With Aggie football approaching, what are your feelings going into this one?

Creager: I had dinner with Coach Sumlin the other night, and I absolutely love that guy. I think he’s one of the kindest and most caring guys I’ve ever known. I think that as long as we’ve got him, and as long as the Aggies are allowing him to do his thing, I think we’ll always be alright.

Robin Thicke has long been a staple of the R&B music scene. With only 4 singles to crack the Hot 100, Thicke has somehow flown below the average music listener’s radar. All of that is a thing of the past.

Dropping his biggest release since 2007, Thicke has sparked a Manziel-size amount of media attention with his release of an over-the-top video for the album’s title track. He’s taken Timberlake’s pop style and situated himself on a blurred line that separates risqué and raunchy. Thicke does it all on his newest album. He writes, produces, sings, and even find time to rap a little.

With the help of a few hip-hop phenoms—T.I., Kendrick Lamar, and Pharrell Williams—Thicke has set himself up nicely for a number one spot on the iTunes singles chart and for number two album overall, along with a nomination for Video of the Year from MTV. This album is unified by his relaxed and well documented crooning and a familiar take on pop made famous by Justin Timberlake.

This newest release from Thicke finds the 36-year old singer trying to take full advantage of his newfound stardom by reaching to become the pop icon he has never quite been. But don’t let the frenzy fool you. Thicke seems to be making calculated decisions to feed the frenzy.

The boys are back in town (too cliché?). One of the most famous boy bands of the 90s has made a comeback album. The Backstreet fangirls couldn’t be happier, and the album is good enough to land them on the chart somewhere between Selena Gomez and the Pitch Perfect soundtrack. Despite some negativity, this isn’t a one-hit album. But you can still expect the boys (and we mean all the other boys in the world) to be haters.Recommended Tracks: Permanent Stain, Show ‘Em

A new-comer to the Nashville scene, Coppley has released his first full-length album to acclaim. While the topics are anything but original—back roads, small towns, and heartbreak—he has a signature sound that was enough to land him a record deal and a high-charting spot on iTunes. Possessing much of the “pop-country” sound that has taken over Music City, Coppley still has enough down-home feel to keep listeners from confusing him for another Keith Urban clone. Recommended Tracks: Feels Good To Me, Don’t Stop

With a handful of mixed reviews, the critical establishment’s take on this one is primarily positive. Critics are claiming that old Owl City is dead; shedding the creativity and inspiration that gave OC its original verve. Another flaw volleyed at them is that Midsummer Station is an “acoustic” album. Last time we checked, synthesizers weren’t acoustic. Apart from a few boos coming from the hipster backturners, the album’s catchy and produced well—very well.Recommended Tracks: Shooting Star, Gold

The In-Between: Embracing the Tension Between Now and the Next Big Thing - by Jeff Goins

The Ghost Bride: A Novel - by Yangsze Choo

The Invention of Murder - by Judith Flanders

The Color Master: Stories - by Aimee Bender

Bryan-College Station is gripped in the heightened energy of the new school year. That means thousands coming back to town, ending the ghost town summer vibe (and we were just getting used to the empty pools). Add to that the thousands more who will come every weekend Johnny Football hits the field. We can expect crowded aisles at H.E.B, longer seating waits in Texas Roadhouse, slow traffic on George Bush, blah, blah, blah. You've heard it—even thought it—all before. It all adds up to lots of mundane and useless waiting, right? Not quite, according to author of The In-Between, Jeff Goins.

The In-Between is a call to accept the unique value that waiting plays in our lives. Most of us are in these in-between moments most of our lives, which aren’t just pedestrian idleness according to Goins. Moments of breakthrough are ephemeral when compared to the time spent in between these longer moments of achieving our destinations. Getting an education, opening up a business, getting your dream job—enduring these journeys helps us define ourselves more than the goal. The In-Between invites us to learn to live with the tensions of waiting and growing while we are climbing our figurative mountains. After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day.

In this Chinese coming-of-age story, the daughter of a refined but bankrupt family in the traditional town of Malacca is asked to become a ghost bride. Li Lan, who receives the proposal from the prosperous Lim family, is to become the bride of the family’s deceased son.

The ghost marriage would calm the restless spirit of the Lim’s son, who suffered a mysterious death. But after visiting the Lim’s mansion, Li Lan is haunted by her soon-to-be groom. She also falls for the family’s new heir, Tian Bai. Amidst ghost cities, paper funeral offerings, vengeful spirits, and monstrous bureaucracy, Li Lian must unearth the Lim’s dark secrets—and the truth about her own family, too.

Everything that’s put into a good story can become a sensation—especially murder. Rare in the 19th century, murder gained power as entertainment when cold-blooded killings that were transformed into novels, opera, and melodrama created icons of the genre such as Sherlock Holmes, P.D. James, or Patricia Cornwell.

The Invention of Murder revisits many brutal and famous murders: a dismembered fiancée transported in a bus in Greenacre, a bodysnatching business in Edinburg, the tragic ending of the Marr family in London’s East End, and even the stories of Sweeney Todd and Jack the Ripper. A narrative of Victorian society and its folk, The Invention of Murder delivers a vivid history of crime and punishment.

Vanity Fair called her prose “richly imagined and bittersweet.” The Wall Street Journal assures that with Bender’s stories “relationships and mundane activities take on mythic qualities.”

Bestselling author Aimee Bender returns with 240 pages of dreamy, magical, and strange stories. Evocative humor, painful realities, love, sex, and family—it’s all there. When a woman fulfills her prostitution fantasy with her husband, she discovers sex as she knew it is now meaningless. When an ogre mistakenly eats his wife’s children, she struggles to stay with him. When two sisters travel to Malaysia, one of them learns the art of mending tigers. When a girl with flowing hair appears in an apple orchid, traumatic events unfold.

Let’s face it: We're a culture whose very survival depends on how well we're caffeinated. On our way to work, class, or just plain on our way, we're constantly seeking sodas, energy shots, and the mother of all caffeine drinks, coffee. Whether it’s Starbucks, Poor Yorick’s, or some other cafe in town, people are lined up to get a coffee fix in Aggieland and all over the world.

But imagine if one day...coffee didn't exist.

The First International Coffee Rust Summit was held last April, where numerous producers, buyers, and researchers all convened to address a problem plaguing the coffee industry. The widespread devastation of the “coffee rust” fungus upon coffee crops had the entire industry scrambling in fear of a worldwide epidemic. The coffee rust fungus whittles down the coffee plant, hindering the growth of the fruit which bears our coveted coffee beans. According to a press release from the summit, "the Central American coffee rust epidemic in the 2012-2013 harvest season ravaged crops, affecting the livelihoods of more than 2 million people and causing a loss of roughly 500,000 jobs." Guatemala, who hosted the summit, and numerous other countries have declared a national state of emergency. The crisis may seem far away, but the losses will certainly trickle down and affect coffee costs and quality here in the U.S.

Lucky for us all, World Coffee Research – a non-profit program managed by the Borlaug Institute for International Agriculture at Texas A&M – is working hard to find methods to fight the epidemic. A variety of solutions have already been presented and are being implemented to control and prevent coffee rust from spreading. For the short-term, fungicides are being applied following strict regulations to help protect current crops. Long-term solutions are also already underway, including breeding new rust-resistant varieties as well as altering crop-growing methods altogether.

So rest assured: World Coffee Research and Texas A&M are doing everything they can to keep your coffee safe. Now if they could just fix the line problem at Yorick's.

In Texas, we’re fortunate to experience summer at least five months out of the year (some would argue that’s less fortunate for us). The longer summer season usually means higher temperatures for longer periods, less rain, and gratuitous sweating (which no one likes). But the bright side is that it means snow cone season lasts longer, too! This summer, we’ve had the privilege of welcoming back a once-familiar face in BCS, Bahama Bucks.

Previously located in Bryan, Bucks re-opened in mid-July in the Hobby Lobby shopping center on Texas Avenue in College Station. In just its opening month, our local Bahama Bucks took the title for the highest sales in the Bahama Bucks’ franchise. But don’t be put off by the line outside the door or the drive-thru line that wraps around the building. The “avalanche crew” can turn out an impressive number of snow cones rapidly, which makes the lines fast-moving and not so hard to bear.

If you decide to brave the triple-digit heat and walk inside the store, the beauty of Bucks is that there actually is an inside with air-conditioning! You don’t have to wait in the sweltering heat to order your snow cone. Once inside, the faint smell of sugar hits your nose. As you approach the counter, a wall of syrups in every color and flavor catches your eye. (Note: Bahama Bucks is not for those who have trouble making decisions.) With over 100 flavors, the choices can be overwhelming. Luckily, for those of us who have trouble making decisions, Bucks offers a

flavor of the day, which is a custom blend of a few of their myriad flavors.

Since Buck’s was originally started in Lubbock, you’ll see a Red Raider blend on their menu. But they’ve balanced it out and played homage to Aggieland with a Hullabaloo blend. White coconut on one side and a mix of strawberry and sour strawberry on the opposite side create the maroon and white. The mixing of both strawberry and sour strawberry may initially seem a little odd, but the sour flavors on their own can be very overpowering. It’s the kind of sour that immediately causes your mouth to pucker and your face to contort. The strawberry tames it while still maintaining a little of that sour kick.

The magical part of Bahama Bucks snow cones is that they’ve mastered the art of shaved ice. They utilize a machine with an extremely sharp razor that shaves a large block of ice into small flecks to create “sno.” The sno is light, fluffy and literally melts in your mouth. It’s not the type of snow cone that clumps and has arbitrary large bits of ice to crack your teeth.

To compliment their perfectly shaved ice, Bucks and their avalanche crew have also mastered the perfect application of syrup. We’ve visited multiple times and have yet to have a snow cone which doesn’t have enough syrup--because, let’s be honest, nothing is more disappointing than finding a chunk of ice with no syrup on it. And for those who aren’t snow cone purists, Bahama Bucks will also add ice cream to your snow cone or even blend fruit with syrup for a smoothie.

We've finally entered an era when “health food” isn't immediately equated with “tasteless food.” More than a decade ago, it was quite a different story: When you purchased a meal advertised as healthy, you we're practically ordering cardboard-flavored cardboard (and sometimes real cardboard had more flavor).

We've come a long, long way. Today, we even have microwave meals that are low-calorie, made with whole grains, low-sodium, and they're inexpensive. Frozen dinners used to be associated with very high sodium and high fat. Not anymore. Today, there are numerous options for low-fat, low-sodium meals with high-flavor. As a general rule, when buying frozen dinners, skip meals with cream sauces, gravy, or meals that have fried foods in them—those are immediate signs that you're getting something healthy. And we know you love that chewy brownie in the Hungry Man entrees; we love them, too—but this is an article about healthy options. Avoid the meals with desserts; those are empty-calorie no nos.

This week, we're highlighting three budget, healthy, microwave food options that can be found in your grocer's freezer; and we recommend putting them in yours!

Kashi Chicken Fettuccine Steam Meal:We know we just said to avoid meals with creamy sauces, but when Kashi—a purveyor known for producing some of the healthiest foods in your grocery store—has a cream sauce, we know it's not thickened with fat and salt. These steam meal bags are pretty cool, too; all you have to do to cook them is take them out of your freezer and throw them into your microwave. The special bag each meal comes in was designed to vent steam and to cook your meal without zapping it to death.

The Chicken Fettuccine meal is very good for you: 270 calories, a whopping 43 grams of whole grains, 17 grams of protein, and 5 grams of fiber. For a re-heat meal, you'll be surprised at the crisp freshness of the mushrooms, peppers and broccoli, too.

Amy's Mexican Casserole Bowl:Amy's is probably one of the first businesses to get healthy frozen foods done right. In the late 80s, the family business was a forerunner of the organic food movement, and they specialized in vegetarian and vegan foods, too, as they do to this day. Most meat eaters don't see the point in eating vegetarian meals on occasion until they finally have one and savor it. There's nothing better than feeling light yet full of energy after eating an Amy's meal. That goes for Amy's Mexican Casserole, too

How can white corn masa, black beans, sweet corn, cheese, olives, tomatoes and chili peppers be light? We're not sure how they did it either, but the Mexican Casserole is 380 calories total and high in protein and fiber. You'll feel like you've eaten a hearty meal, but 20 minutes later, you'll be full of energy.

Healthy Choice Lasagna with Meat Sauce:We're going to be frank with you: Healthy Choice produces the blandest of the healthy frozen food options across the board. However, there are a few exceptions. The Lasagna with Meat Sauce doesn't win any special awards for flavor, but it does win awards for healthiness. Seriously, a lasagna serving that totals only 280 calories? Remember, lasagna is cheese, pasta, beef, and marina—those things typically add inches to the gut. However, this tangy offering packs 18 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber into a serving that might pass for dinner for some, maybe only lunch for others. Nevertheless, it's still one of the better options in the frozen food aisle.

Gig ‘Em Week- By Luke Murray -

In true Texas fashion, a simple “Howdy” isn’t enough to welcome you sometimes. One of many maroon-clad traditions is the dedication of a whole week to welcoming new and returning students back to campus. Gig ‘Em Week, as it’s been branded, is designed to make students of all walks feel right at home. To wrap up the festivities at the end of the week, Texas A&M’s grand finale is Aggieland Market.

Aggieland Market—also known as Free Stuff Friday—uses the trade show concept, designed to showcase local business ventures, restaurants, shops, and entertainment reps across the Brazos. From corporate giants to mom-and-pop shops, churches of every faith, local doctors, and everything in between, there is something to be found for everyone at more than 80 booths set up in the plaza. Students and families—along with the community—are encouraged to go out and sample what BCS has to offer. Get to know who’s doing business in the region, as well as ways you could get more involved or where to best spend your money over the next few years.

The Maroon Weekly Street Team will be on site with our photo booth, too! Stop by to say hello and get a free souvenir pic with your family or friends.

Check out Aggieland Market and snag free goodies and sample some local delicacies on August 23rd from 11:30am. to 2pm in the Texas A&M Academic Plaza.

Classic doesn’t always mean terrible. With video games, it’s no different. Super-realistic graphics and massive explosions common in new hi-tech releases don’t always make the game great. Sometimes, revisiting, or even being exposed to classic games for the first time, can help us remember why we keep playing games in the first place: because they’re fun. Some retro games, such as these, are even more fun when played with a buddy or three.

River City Ransom for NESPlayers become River City High School students Alex and Ryan who are on a mission to rescue Alex’s girlfriend. The premise is simple: beat up gangs of ruffians to reach the high school to rescue the girl. While at first it seems like every other beat-em-up game (knock out a bunch of weak bad guys, fight a boss and move on), River City Ransom allows players to upgrade their arsenal of techniques and attributes, making the player much stronger. After buying and reading a book called Dragon Feet, the player’s slow, methodical kick transforms into a flurry of attacks. Other upgrades include being able to throw an enemy like a torpedo (and chase him across the screen if desired) and the ability to pick up

a fallen enemy and use HIM as a weapon.

In addition, the game allows players to choose where they want to go; there is no time limit or requirement to move one direction like other beat-em-ups. Also, dialogue appears below the action as gang members such as The Generic Dudes, The Frat Guys, and The Jocks taunt players each time they enter a new area and cry out in agony when defeated. The game uses (really, really long) passwords to keep track of progress, but usually, it’s worth the trouble to put them in.

Rampage: Total Destruction for Wii, GameCube, PS2What’s better than a giant monster destroying cities punch by punch? Four giant monsters tearing them apart together. Rampage: Total Destruction does just that. Players can select from a plethora of humongous nemeses such as Boris the rhinoceros, Eye-Gore the one-eyed alien or Ramsey the ram and destroy everything he sees.

Humans will do everything they can to stop the rampage, sending in choppers, tanks, police cars, setting traps in windows to deter unwary punchers, and blowing up buildings themselves while players are hanging on the side or on top of the towers. But the humans are small, plentiful, and actually restore a little

health if you eat enough of them.

Some might complain about the monotony of going through level after level of smashing buildings. If that happens, you can always punch your friend in the face; it’s allowed. You can also kick them too, if that does anything for you. Be wary, though, when your alter ego runs out of health. He or she reverts back to human form and could become another monster’s lunch.

While not the most complicated game, Rampage does offer fun for four. Just make sure to keep the battles on screen.

So school is starting, and for the longest time“back to school” has been synonymous with “end of summer.” And yet...summer doesn't officially end until September 21. Sure, we get it: the end of summer freedom is over the second homework is assigned. But the weather is still perfect this time of year—especially perfect for late summer swimming.

As a daytrip, this week we're recommending one of the coolest swimming holes in Texas: Jacob's Well in Wimberley. Situated off the beaten path in the hill country between Austin and San Marcos is the charming town of Wimberley (population: 2000). The town was settled in the early 1800s for its access to vast freshwater springs and waterways. Below the town's quiet streets and open spaces is an intricate aquifers and system of water-filled caves. One such cave has an above ground entrance in the form of a swimming hole, Jacob's Well.

Seen from above, the crystal clear, spring fed, aquamarine hole looks ominous in its dark center, as if it marks where the earth drops into an abyss of nothingness. Floating in the cool well's water, however, you can see that bottom of the hole isn't endless and instead jettisons into a series of caves. The caves have been a popular site for SCUBA divers over the years. Divers have discovered a total of four chambered caves which are connected by tight and dangerous crawl spaces—some so tight that divers' barely make it through with their tanks on their backs. Because of how dark and dangerous the caves are, a total of 8 deaths are on record, so it's recommended that only professional divers with cave diving experience accept Jacob's challenge.

The majority of people visit the rare spot not for its dangerous spelunking but for its unique swimming experience. Many take a leap into the well from the site's low cliffs, while others wade peacefully in the river and watch others perform their stunts (see the video at maroonweekly.com of people doing gainers off the cliffs. Pretty cool stuff). On Saturday mornings at 10am, a docent leads a guided tour of the area and explains the history of the well and its geological significance to the region. All tours are free to the public and no reservation is necessary. For those who wish to just take a dip, Jacob's Well Natural Area is free to the public daily!

The new action blockbuster Elysium is only as good as its imagination, which is pretty elaborate indeed. An opening scene has Matt Damon’s roughneck character Max Da Costa meet with his parole officer, an animatronic plastic statue with impersonal customer service messages pouring out of its speakers. It’s funny, and perfect for this world where the rich have abandoned an overpopulated Earth (for a space station paradise called Elysium) while the poor are left to suffer in post-apocalyptic megalopolises.

Like District 9, the previous film by South African imagineer Neill Blomkamp, Elysium starts with a strong social metaphor, throws in a lot of plot, and winds up a decent video game the director is playing in front of us. It’s hard to describe the set-up, because Max doesn’t have one overriding mission that motivates him throughout the movie except for a general desire to get a ticket to Elysium. To make up for that lack of direction in the movie’s protagonist, Blomkamp throws external motivations at our hero in an attempt to push him into one setpiece after the other. Eventually, something congeals around all of the challenges Max endures, though, and like the oppressed class he represents, he never has a chance to get ahead; he just tries to survive.

The action is a blurry but striking thrill. What’s hard to watch is the rest: headachy shakycam, epileptic strobes, gross-out imagery galore. Think about it too long and you find the limits of Blomkamp’s imagination. The rich on Elysium are content with cookie-cutter O.C. McMansions. But the bigger issue is all the comedy-violence in this movie about disposable people fighting to achieve indisposability, a quandary that plagues the movie’s fictional future and yet resonates strongly amidst our present milieu.

There’s something for everyone at the movies this fall. Opening soon are The World’s End, the new comedy from the Hot Fuzz troupe, and You’re Next, the horror I’m most excited about. This is good because September’s gonna be dry, unless the new Riddick movie turns out well (and being directed by ninja B-director David Twohy, it just might). My most anticipated movie is Gravity, the space thriller starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock. Then come the sequels and remakes: Carrie, Thor, the Americanized Oldboy, The Hobbit, and Anchorman. The Hunger Games has a new director, and based on the trailer, he knows how to make splash. The rom-com About Time looks cute, but Ender’s Game looks lighter on the sci than the fi. And the year wraps up with prestige pictures: star-studded August: Osage County, black-and-white indie Nebraska, and Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street.

Netflix’s newest original series was renewed for a second season before it even debuted, and no wonder. This story of a privileged white woman getting a 15-month prison sentence is a serious crowd-pleaser. As someone tells Taylor Schilling’s avatar of liberal guilt Piper when she first arrives, “This isn’t Oz.” It’s not rough. It’s almost cuddly. The show’s ignorance of violence is its greatest flaw, but at least it increases the show’s watchability. The cast is a Hall of Fame unto itself: Kate Mulgrew’s Russian chef, Natasha Lyonne’s unfiltered junkie, Taryn Manning’s meth-head evangelist. Flashbacks and prison tales flesh out a deep story made of stories, and the women come in so many shapes and sizes (including a powerhouse transgender performance by Laverne Cox) that it puts the rest of television into sharp relief. Then again, to borrow a phrase from back when HBO was the ground-breaking network, it’s not TV. It’s Netflix.
