Letter from the editor
Theres no place like home.
That theme pops up in a few
unexpected, unrelated places this
week.
Take, for example, the home-
town boys done good from Title
Fight. Their sound, style, and
even road crew is taken right
from northeastern Pennsylvania.
The hardcore scene of a few
years ago eventually paved the
way for the Kingston quarter, and
even their videos are directed by
those in their own inner circle.
Album art for the soon-to-be-
released Floral Green was
created by a Dallas resident who
knows the band well.
Funny how small the world
really is, isnt it?
In the same respect, Spencer
Bohren, the New Orleans-based
musician due in Scranton on
Saturday for a PocoNotes show,
told me his family was seduced
twice by the Big Easy, even after
the destruction caused by Hurri-
cane Katrina.
His return home led to the
creation of The Long Black
Line, a song somewhat syn-
onymous with the citys rebirth
after it was nearly completely
washed away.
That kind of attitude carries a
lot of us, Im sure, wherever
home may lie.
Being home is about being
someplace you can be comfort-
able, creative, and appreciated.
It works for a group of 20-
somethings just as well as it does
for a 62-year-old veteran of the
music industry.
Whoever said you cant go
home again is probably some-
where eating their hat.
Enjoy this weeks edition,
wherever you call home. And
thanks for reading. W
- Christopher J. Hughes,
Weekender editor W

KISS AND MAKEUP
The Mountain, 102.3 FM,
will present a three-hour KISS
radio special on Saturday, Sept.
15. KISS ON THE MOUN-
TAIN, hosted by Mountain DJ
and Weekender music corre-
spondent Alan K. Stout, will
feature a new exclusive interview
with Gene Simmons, more than
30 songs from the groups career,
plus segments of Stouts archived
Times Leader and Weekender
interviews with Paul Stanley,
Simmons, and former members
of the band.
There will also be chances to
win tickets and backstage meet-
and-greet passes to KISS show
at the Toyota Pavilion at Mon-
tage Mountain on Sept. 18. A
webcast will be streamed at
www.102themountain.com from
8-11 p.m.
Ive seen KISS 31 times, and
Ive interviewed the members of
the band a dozen times, Stout
said. Theyve always been one
of my favorite groups, and thats
really because of the music.
People always point to their im-
age, groundbreaking stage
shows, and their live concerts,
but its really the albums and the
songs that make you a fan. And
thats what this show will focus
on.
The KISS ON THE MOUN-
TAIN radio special is being
co-sponsored by the Weekender.
SHOCK! DELAYED
The Culture Shock! Free
Music Fest that was set for
Sept. 8 at Scrantons Nay Aug
Park was postponed due to the
threat of severe weather, event
organizer Cory Wolff told the
Weekender.
The event has been moved to
Saturday, Oct. 6, and the loca-
tion remains the same. It will be
held rain or shine, but I cant
guarantee that there wont be any
tornadoes, Wolff joked in an
email. W
Youll be a basket case if you miss Green Day, from left, Tre Cool, Billie Joe
Armstrong and Mike Dirnt, when they perform at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey
Plaza on Jan. 10.

INNATE OPERA
Scientists from the Primate
Research Institute at Japans
Kyoto University reported in an
August journal article that they
had given helium gas to apes,
which, predictably, made their
voices goofily high-pitched.
However, it was not a fraternity
prank or lab assistants initiation,
but a way for the scientists to
determine whether the famously
sonorous gibbons could yell just
as loudly at a higher-than-natural
pitch. The gibbons succeeded,
showing a rare talent similar to
that of the worlds greatest hu-
man sopranos, who maintain
their booming amplitude by
altering the shape of their
vocal tract, including their
mouth and tongue.
BLOCK OUT THE SUN
The seaside city of Qing-
dao, China, is (as described
in August by NPR) not a
vacation community for
superheroes even though
many beachcombers wear
masks while lounging and
sunbathing. The garments
are face-kinis, or light
cloth coverings that protect
against the terror of tan-
ning. While Western cul-
tures celebrate skin-darken-
ing, many Chinese associate
it with lower-status, outdoor
occupations, and a pale skin
suggests having lived a
pampered life.
DONT BE
AN ARSCHLOCH
In August, after an eight-
day trial, a court in Ham-
burg, Germany, awarded
money damages to a man who
called another an asshole (ar-
schloch) in a parking-space
dispute and fixed the payment at
the equivalent of about $75,000.
Courts in Germany can base the
amount of damages on the trans-
gressors income.
LADIES ONLY
A Saudi Arabian agency is
raising the equivalent of about
$130 million to break ground in
2013 on an entire city to be man-
aged and staffed by female em-
ployees, with three more such
cities being contemplated. Rais-
ing womens employment rate is
a goal of the kingdom, where
until last year, nearly all jobs
were held by foreigners and
Saudi males, including jobs as
sales clerks in womens lingerie
shops.
NO HELP
FROMABOVE
Prayer failed for Leslie Burton,
26, and Terrell Williams, 22, in
St. Paul, Minn., in July. As they
sat in the back seat of a police
car while officers searched their
own car, the pair, touching hands
(according to the cruisers video
camera), quietly begged divine
intervention that the guns in their
car not be found. However, not
only were the guns spotted, but a
subsequent strip search revealed
a baggie of suspected Ecstasy
pills in Williams rectum.
STEVE JOBS
REINCARNATED?
In August, an abbot at the Wat
Phra Dhammakaya Buddhist
temple in Bangkok, Thailand,
reported that Steve Jobs is doing
well now as a mid-level angel.
He was reincarnated as a half-
Witthayathorn, half-Yak, which
the Bangkok Post took to mean
that Jobs continues to be a gi-
ant and a seeker of scientific
knowledge and apparently re-
sides in a parallel universe near
his former office in Cupertino,
Calif.
RAGE OVER ROMNEY
Lowell Turpin, 40, was arrest-
ed in Anderson County, Tenn., in
July after he became jealously
enraged at a strangers photo on
his live-in girlfriends Facebook
page and, demanding to know
who the man is, allegedly
punched her in the face and
smashed her computer. Accord-
ing to the police report, it was a
campaign photo of Mitt Romney.
IN THE NAME
OF SCIENCE
Lab technician Coley
Mitchell was arrested in a
locker room at Georgia
Health Sciences University
in Augusta in August, in-
toxicated, with his pants
down with two lab monkeys
nearby that had been re-
leased from their cages.
POOR SHOTS
Men who accidentally
shot themselves recently
include: A man in Wawa,
Ontario, in July, clubbing a
mouse with the butt end of
a rifle; the 56-year-old man
in Sparks, Nev., who
brought his handgun with
him to The Bourne Lega-
cy after the Colorado
massacre and was shot in
the buttocks when it fell to
the floor; two men who shot
themselves in the genitals (a
45-year-old in Birmingham,
Mich., in June and 36-year-
old Tavares Colbert in Oklahoma
City in July); tough guys like the
18-year-old in Philadelphian who
fired the unloaded (he thought!)
gun at his own head after his
manhood was challenged; and
the 17-year-old in Largo, Fla., in
June who lost in the first round at
Russian roulette. Two people
didnt even need a gun to shoot
themselves: a Modesto, Calif.,
weightlifter whose dumbbell
slipped to the floor in April and
landed on a bullet, and a 56-year-
old woman in Montoursville, Pa.,
who apparently carries bullets in
her purse, and somehow had one
explode, wounding her. W
New signs were posted on doors of
single-use restrooms in two med-
ical clinics in Halifax, Nova Scotia,
in July and immediately confused a
transgender activist interviewed
by Canadian Broadcasting Corpo-
ration News. Three silhouette fig-
ures appear on the door: a man, a
woman, and what is supposedly a
gay-lesbian-bisexual-transgender
(which is a half-man, half-woman
with the right-hand side of the fig-
ure wearing a dress and with slop-
ing shoulders and the left-hand
side with the thicker pant legs of a
man). Said the activist, I under-
stand they were trying to ... make
people feel included, but...

While their careers began in
very different ways, some com-
mon connections put Wyoming
resident Ed Randazzo and New
Orleans-based musician Spencer
Bohren on a shared road to
Scranton.
Bohren, 62, a 47-year veteran
of the road, and Randazzo, who
released his first album with Bret
Alexander in 2009, will combine
their talents at a PocoNotes event
at the historic Tripp House (1011
N. Main Ave., Scranton) on Sat-
urday, Sept. 15 at 8 p.m.
Despite his homestead in Loui-
siana, Bohren is no stranger to
the region. He performed at the
Hear Em at the Comm series
at the Waverly Community
House in 2008 and recalled some
earlier passes through NEPA.
It occurred to me the other
day that I used to play in Scran-
ton many years ago at a place
that I think was called The Wine
Cellar. Im sure its not there
anymore, but Im certain it was
one of the stops along the way,
he said.
Bohrens gospel taproot de-
rived from his upbringing in a
family that sang grace at the
dinner table shares echoes of
blues, country, and folk in a
career spanning 16 albums. His
set at the Tripp House will fea-
ture performances on acoustic
guitar, lap steel guitar, and banjo,
and it may include a song in-
spired by the aftermath of Hurri-
cane Katrina.
Katrina delivered a song to
me which became a really essen-
tial part of the building and re-
building of New Orleans, he
said.
The Long Black Line came
to Bohren completely by acci-
dent, but when inspiration
struck, he quickly penned 16
verses. The song was shortened
and later gained airplay in and
around New Orleans.
In the end it became an im-
portant piece of music in this
very important musical townI
was very honored that it came
through me, he said.
Randazzo, 34, of Wyoming,
will share the stage with Alexan-
der to continue a four-year musi-
cal partnership that began in the
summer of 2008 as work began
on what became 2009s folk-
driven See That My Grave Is
Kept Clean.
Unlike Bohren, Randazzo
hadnt discovered his singing
voice until later in life, in 2000.
I would have never imagined
that Id be in front of people
singing songs and writing songs.
It wasnt really my final destina-
tion, Randazzo confessed.
Randazzo attended the Faces
and Voices of the Blues show
presented by PocoNotes in June
featuring photos by Jim Gavenus
and music from Toby Walker,
and he was impressed with the
historic Tripp House. Dolores
Hippler, who co-founded Poco-
Notes with Pat Harper, overheard
his admiration, and Saturdays
show quickly took shape.
Randazzo will perform with
Alexander as they deliver select
songs from his 2009 release and
2012s bluesy Show And Tell,
along with emerging work from a
yet-unnamed third project. Hes
especially excited to perform for
an audience a rare opportunity
in his still-expanding career
and learn from a seasoned artist.
Anytime you get an opportu-
nity to open for a veteran of the
road and a veteran of music is
huge, Randazzo said. We all
will be learning from one another
as we watch one another work,
and I think thats the ultimate
treat. W

until you invent something else. Rock
n roll is as good an invention as the
wheel, pretty much, and the wheel has
been used, I would say forever. Rock n
roll is still pretty young as an invention.
Its very, very young, and it can be
reinvented many more times I think.
W: So many people are familiar with
American rock. How does being Swedish
change or develop that sound? Does it
add something different to the mix?
CHRIS DANGEROUS: It started out in
the early 50s, where rock n rollers in
Sweden came up with names that were
sort of American and everything was
really a version of American rock at the
time. I guess Swedes very early on were
really good at picking up on what was
A
fter a rousing mid-afternoon
set on the Budweiser Made
in America Festival on Sept.
2 from garage rock band The
Hives, the sweat-drenched Swedes, who
performed in formal tuxedos complete
with tails and top hats, sat down with The
Weekender for some exclusive photos
and an interview with guitarist Nicholaus
Arson, drummer Chris Dangerous, and
bassist Dr. Matt Destruction.
THEWEEKENDER: How did you guys
decide on your very distinctive sound
that youve had throughout your last ve
albums?
popular over in America and the UK. So
a lot of music, including what we do, sort
of comes from the U.S. or the U.K. As
far as modern music goes in Sweden, not
folk music or anything else, its either
from the U.S. or the U.K.
W: You guys have maintained the same
line-up the entire time. What is the secret
to maintaining a band?
NA: I think you have to have no other
talents whatsoever; nothing to fall back
on, basically. Were the best in the world
at what we do, but we know nothing else.
That is the secret.
W: You put on such a high energy
performance. How do you maintain that
and keep that up every day?
MATT DESTRUCTION: By keeping
still the rest of the day and night. If were
on tour, were like f-----g zombies the
rest of the day.
NA: Some of us are basically ADHD sort
of personalities, and some of us are like
the koala bears of rock n roll, like were
basically asleep for 23 hours of the day,
and then that last hour of the day we rock
the f--k out.
W: Is there anything you havent
accomplished yet that youd like to?
NA: We have tons and tons of ideas,
like, all the time. We have ideas for a
philharmonic sort of record. I think the
latest one I had was that we are going to
do a 24-hour record; were going to write
and record a record in 24 hours. I think
thats the latest one. I think it would be
pretty f-----g good. W
Swedes with swagger
By Rich Howells
Weekender Staff Writer
NICHOLAUS ARSON: Well, it evolves
into being a sound, but I think we fairly
early on kind of knew what we wanted to
do. We wanted to play sort of fast-paced
punk, you know? Punk was sort of our
rst loveWe thought contemporary
punk would sound too much like metal or
something, so we listened to 60s music
as well as punk rock music. I guess we
were listening to sort of garagey type
punk rockThen we ltered it through
The Hives lter and it sort of became
what were actually playing at the end.
W: Did you feel that vintage sound
would resonate with people today?
NA: It would always resonate with
people. Rock n roll is rock n roll, and
there will continue to be rock n roll

their decades-spanning discography,
including Evenow, Daughter,
and Jeremy, before closing out with
Rearviewmirror.
During his Even Flow guitar solo,
Mike McCready leaned back to hold
long, whining notes, sped up to a gritty
shred and mellowed out to funk while
Eddie Vedder made his way back to the
mic. Vedder took a swig of his unlabeled
wine bottle, propelled himself to a
hop, and jumped in time to a bit of the
Ramones Blitzkrieg Bop, prompting
a call and response of Hey, ho, lets
go! before an affecting performance of
Daughter.
Vedder, known for his political
activism, introduced the song
Unemployable with a taste of
progressive patriotism, dedicating the
tune to those currently out of work.
The political buzz heightened
when they began a cover of The Clash
classic Know Your Rights as Vedder

recently restricted Pennsylvania.

V
ery few people can shut down
Phillys Benjamin Franklin
Parkway to throw a raucous
party. Last weekend, Jay Z did just that.
The inaugural Budweiser Made in
America Festival took over Philadelphia
on September 1-2 with two lineups
boasting a music industry whos-who
spanning the college radio charts into
the top 40. The event curated an array of
artists to perform on three stages built
on and around the trafc circle of the
Parkway.
The main stage, aptly named the
Rocky Stage, was incorporated into the
Philadelphia Museum of Arts infamous
Rocky Steps. Performers included
Maybach Music Group, Passion Pit,
and Hova himself. Jay Zs headlining
Saturday set featured career-spanning
hits, including Empire State of Mind,
Big Pimpin, and Izzo (H.O.V.A.)
The night wrapped with reworks,
on and offstage. For his encore, Jay Z
shared the stage with surprise guests
G.O.O.D. Music, led by Kanye West.
Hova and Yeezy closed with their Watch
During a deliberate instrumental
lull in W.M.A., Jay Z strolled on
stage, hand in the air, and breathed the
opening lines that cued the band into
a stellar rendition of 99 Problems.
Without missing a beat, Jay Z exited and
Pearl Jam shot into the nal song of the
festival, Neil Youngs Rockin in the
Free World.
The Liberty Stage boasted
prodigious acts, from Rita Ora to the
crowd-commanding Swedish punk-
rockabilly act The Hives, to LA-based
punk pioneers, X, celebrating their 35th
rock-iversary.
The Freedom Tent hosted a rocking
party featuring Afrojack, Alesso, and
DJ Shadow. Budweisers Project 12,
featuring craft brews by each of Buds 12
brew masters, allowed guests to sample
each beer and select their top three to
be featured in a nation-wide six pack in
October.

online for Budweiser Made in America

Howards documentary of the festival
from the perspective of Jay Z. The

the Throne hit, Ni--as in Paris, before
red, white and blue sparks burst over the
Philadelphia skyline.
Sunday brought Philly native and
freak-chic stage-shaker Santigold to
the main stage, followed by Jill Scott
featuring surprise guest Eve, the reunion
of hip-hop royalty Run DMC, R&B
heartthrob Drake featuring 2 Chainz, and
a closing set from Pearl Jam.
Santigold and her crew - including
two bespectacled, stony-faced dancers
with props and neon spandex and her
costumed tour horse - red up the crowd
with a 12 song set featuring tracks from
her latest LP, Master of my Make
Believe, and hits from her debut album.
Adecade after Jam Master Jays
assassination and the groups dissolution,
emcees Rev. Run and DMC reunited
for a stellar performance, dedicated
to the late DJ. Their set brimmed with
favorites, including Sucker MCs, Its
Tricky, and My Adidas, and closed
with their anthemic take on Walk This
Way. Jam Master Jays sons paid tribute
to their dad by showing off their DJ skills
under the names Json and Dasmatic.
Headliners Pearl Jam began their
set with Go off 1993s Vs. They
continued to play well-loved songs from

It seems that too often as
bands grow older, they like to
experiment with new sounds and
stray from what fans first en-
joyed. Critics call it maturing
or experimenting, but Yellow-
card has shown in the last decade
how a band can grow yet still
stick to its roots with its top-10
release, Southern Air.
The 10-track gem rivals Yel-
lowcards previous albums as the
band was able to produce a fresh
soundtrack for summers to come.
Southern Air starts off with
vocalist Ryan Key signing a few
lines as a lone and mellow elec-
tric guitar winds down to a rest.
Then as Key sings I want this to
be my awakening, the albums
kicks off in true Yellowcard
fashion with big guitar riffs, fun
lyrics, and, of course, the beloved
violin played by Sean Mackin.
While the album is filled with
traditional fast-paced and toe-
tapping tunes, Yellowcard is able
to keep the interest of listeners by
changing up the tempo and add-
ing flavors of different musical
genres.
Awakening grabs attention
with perhaps Keys best lyrics to
date. Always Summer, the first
single released, is a windows-
down, feel-good tune that can
always lift the spirits and in-
cludes a chilling violin solo by
Mackin. The radio-friendly
Here I Am Alive, a song that is
more pop than punk, carries an
underlying beat that makes you
want to dance.
Perhaps the un-sung hero on
Southern Air is the acoustic,
tear-jerking track, Ten, a tale
about a couples miscarriage and
what life would be like 10 years
later if things went differently.
This album seems to be more
personal than previous efforts.
Key writes an open-letter to
himself with Here I Am Alive
and also covers past relationships
and losing his aunt to cancer. The
title-track and album-ender
shows Keys gratitude for the
groups success and how he has
been able to stay grounded.
Yellowcard has laid the ground
work for the future of the scene
in what may be recognized years
from now as an iconic record for
punk rock. W

Top 10 Albums at Gallery of Sound
The album, named after a 1943 Woody
Guthrie New Years Resolution, Dream
Good sees Philadelphia-area musician
Cliff Hillis painting an intelligent, pop-
Zen masterstroke.
A veteran of notable Philly club-draws
like Ike and Love Seed Mama Jump,
Hillis specializes in daydreaming, melo-
dic musings that rival traditions of power-
pop purveyors like Fountains Of Wayne
and Fastball. Think Tom Petty-infused
heartland set to the lyricism of Squeezes
Glenn Tilbrook or Big Stars Alex Chil-
ton. Throw in a little Jeff Tweedy, Wilco-
tinged acoustic rattle, and youre getting
close to what Hillis is about.
Whether its the spacious Petty/Mel-
lencamp jangle of Keep The Blues
Skies, buzzing 1960s garage-slop of
Ways and Means, or the dynamically
arranged Matthew Sweet-styled sing-
along of Welcome To You, Hillis nails
the stick-in-your-head bubblegum quo-
tient with all hes got infectious to the
point of dizziness.
Notable guests include The Rem-
brandts Danny Wilde, co-writing on
Beatles-esque standout Start Again, and
kindred Philly souls John Lilley and Dave
Uosikkinen of The Hooters.
Hillis material defies you not to escape
to a world of over-the-top sentimentality
and good-time rock n roll innocence
see the lazy, layered Wurlitzer spilling
onto the audio canvas while our protago-
nist extols the virtues of nocturnal pre-
tending in the title track for evidence.
Never at a loss for a melody, and wisely
tempering his savory pop syrup with
Nashvillian, roots-based medicine, Hillis
lands one of the most enjoyable collec-
tions of hip, songwriters gold in recent
memory. If you simply enjoy a good
radio-friendly, roll-down-the-windows
ditty and who doesnt youll dig this.

Hillis' new
disc all ` Good'
Its been three years since The xxs
last album.
The wait was worth it.
Coexist is note perfect. The
South London trio has moved away
from the slightly poppy direction of
its Mercury Prize-winning self-titled
debut in favor of a more stripped-
down approach. The album is in parts
so spare you wonder what makes it
so spine-tinglingly beautiful.
The opening track Angels, which
the band teased fans with before the
albums release, almost whispers but
sets the tone of the album as it builds
in depth. Sunset introduces the
vocals of Oliver Sim, allowing an
intoxicating synergy between his
voice and Romy Madley Crofts.
Fiction shows the vocal range of
Sim and lyrically explores the rela-
tionship between fiction and reality.
The lyrics are still acutely melan-
cholic. We used to get closer than
this/Is it something you miss? Croft
muses in Chained, which is remi-
niscent of the constant questioning
the group displayed on its debut re-
cord.
And in Missing, Croft muses,
Are we all we could be? The an-
swer is a resounding yes. W

Given the increasing con-
vergence between televisions,
computers, mobile phones and
even some household appliances,
and the wide availability of Wi-Fi
and other mobile Internet con-
nectivity, Ive wondered why
digital cameras even high-end
professional models have been
left nearly untouched by this
trend.
It seems like a desirable fea-
ture: Take a picture and upload or
email it immediately. High-end
smartphones have cameras capa-
ble of taking clear photos and
sending them hither and yon, but
for photojournalists or other
professionals being able to send
high-resolution pictures from the
field would seem a natural.
Sure, you can carry a laptop
around or maybe read the memo-
ry card from your phone. But
thats not nearly as convenient as
being able to send from the de-
vice itself.
Camera manufacturers are
beginning to take some baby
steps in this direction. Canon,
Sony, and Samsung have begun
to add wireless Internet capa-
bility to their cameras, so with a
Wi-Fi signal you can upload
images and videos directly to
online services like Picasa and
YouTube. Some cameras are
including apps that allow users to
touch up images and add effects,
while smartphones have had this
for years.
Wi-Fi is well and good if
youre at home or somewhere its
available.
But if you think about how
many people use cameras on
vacation at a campground, for
instance it might not be
enough.
Having cellular network capa-
bilities the kind that exist in
smartphones might be a better
bet.
The camera manufacturers
would benefit from this; theyre
under increasing pressure as
mobile phones sporting cameras
in the 8-10 megapixel range
become widely available. Of
course, the cameras in phones
make certain sacrifices partic-
ularly in lens quality and zoom
capabilities and are generally
not suited for high-quality pho-
tography.
So far, only Samsung has
picked up the gauntlet on this
challenge, with its new Galaxy
Camera, a $500, 16-megapixel
model offering a 21x optical
zoom. It runs the Android oper-
ating system, so apps can be
installed. It features a large touch
screen display but dont let that
fool you, this is a real camera,
not an overgrown camera-phone.
According to Samsung, its
going to be distributed via mo-
bile phone carriers, since a data
plan is required for connectivity.
Its expected to be released some-
time in October. W

movie review
Just do something, guys!
Thats the cable guide de-
scription I would love to see
for The Words. Directors-
writers Brian Klugman and Lee
Sternthal never pierce through
the prestige picture gloss or use
the multilayered storyline as
more than a distraction. Like
that friend who forever talks
about going back to community
college or dating women his
own age, the filmmakers mis-
take intent for accomplishment.
Both are all talk.
The drama begins with seri-
ous author Clay Hammond
(Dennis Quaid) reading seri-
ous-sounding (and poorly writ-
ten) passages from his serious,
thick new book. Its about a
struggling New York writer,
Rory Jansen (Bradley Cooper),
who finds a typewritten manu-
script in an old leather folder
he purchased in Paris. Floored
by what he reads, Rory tran-
scribes the story on his com-
puter so he can feel the words
flow through his fingers.
Its nothing more than an
experiment. Then Rorys wife
(Zo Saldana, saddled with a
role best described as attrac-
tive enabler) accidentally
opens the file. The love story
devastates her. Its the best of
you, she tells him. It has to
be seen.
Rory takes the manuscript to
a literary agent, who hails it as
a masterpiece. Soon, Rory has
written a critical and commer-
cial smash. Hes living the life
of a better-looking, happier
Jonathan Franzenuntil the
storys original author (Jeremy
Irons) emerges from the past,
haggard, old, and royally
pissed.
At this point, the movie
should have hit its stride as a
savory character study about
the perils of fame or the bur-
den behind profiting from cre-
ativity. Instead, we get intro-
duced to Irons extensive back-
storynarrated in the third-
person, for crying out loud
which involves a lot of creaky,
young-and-in-love clichs.
Then we get whisked to
Hammonds life away from the
podium, which features simi-
larities to Rorys ongoing story.
These plot machinations are
supposed to add gravitas, but
they conveniently prevent
Klugman and Sternthal (in
their directorial debuts) from
exploring anything worthwhile:
how Rory feels about his de-
ception, how the old man
coped with his life being sto-
len. The narrative suddenly
shifts into a shell game. Whats
the difference between fiction
and reality? Who can live with
regret?
Those questions become
meaningless since The Words
features a stunning collection
of useless characters. Irons is
the sentimental old sage. Olivia
Wilde, an underrated actress, is
the smarter-than-she-looks
youngster. Quaid is a walking
mid-life crisis, complete with
the sparse luxury apartment.
Cooper doesnt have the
range to express any emotion
aside from handsome, though
Klugman and Sternthal explain
away Rorys motivation to
cheat and his ability to live
with the sin: the momentum of
events carried him; he just
accepted the accolades and
moved on.
Even when Rory tells his
wife his secret, its done when
hes drunk. What were the
other options? Deathbed con-
fession? A blow to the head?
Show us how a couple copes
with that secret over the course
of a relationship.
That would take way too
much effort. Klugman and
Sternthal expect the audience
to lap up the literary flavor,
innumerable intense conversa-
tions, and the passage of years
captured in rich tones and peri-
od clothing.
The Words is a pile of
convenient omissions and at-
mospherically filmed sub-
terfuges masquerading as seri-
ous filmmaking. W

Who is...
Kohner
Rice,
Dallas
How did you choose your career?
Inuence of family, friends, and other
artists.
The best part of my job is being
able to express creativity and originality.
Whats one thing people
should know about your place of
employment? Its a lot of traveling
and could be boring at times. But, luckily
my partner and close friend, Keane Tate,
keeps me sane.
Something most people dont
know about me is I dont like hip
hop music. I am a big fan of a few artists
but not of the overall genre of hip hop.
My hobbies are Basketball,
piano, hanging out with my best friends
(Austin and Turtle)
Three interesting facts about me:
I am the worlds biggest Kanye West fan.
While creating a song, I cannot write
the lyrics down, everything must be
typed.
Ive seen the Justin Bieber movie a
total of 29 times.
The last song I sang out loud
was Mystery of Inequity by Lauryn
Hill
A talent I wished I possessed is
being able to play the guitar. My three
older siblings were in a band when I was
growing up, and I always wanted to play
the guitar.
I unwind by Watching movies and
taking full advantage of the invention of
Netix.
One thing Ive always wanted
to do is Skydive or bungee jump.
Unfortunately, my extreme fear of heights
prevents me from doing both of those
things.
My favorite place in NEPA is
Sherman Theater, my favorite place to
perform. Great venue, and Stroudsburg is
always a good crowd.

the
By Ralphie Aversa
Special to the Weekender
Instead of a black or white
carpet, MTV opted for the more
tradition red rollout at last Thurs-
days Video Music Awards.
But in typical non-traditional
fashion, the network spread
media outlets over two stories
and both sides of Chick Hearn
Court, the road directly in front
of LAs Staples Center. I stood
across from the double-decker
entrance and watched as celebri-
ties such as Miley Cyrus, One
Direction, and Katy Perry en-
tered the carpet to near-deafening
screams.
- Scooter Braun has made a
name for himself in the music
industry with his non-traditional
moves, such as signing a 15-year-
old Canadian named Justin
Bieber after watching the teenag-
er perform on YouTube. The
manager works with a handful of
other acts from Usher to Carly
Rae Jepsen and just added Psy
to his roster. Psy is the man be-
hind, Gangham Style, a Korean
pop song in the vein of LMFAO
that has amassed over 110 million
YouTube views since July. I
asked Braun why he took a
chance in signing the K-Pop star.
Because hes an underdog,
and I love underdogs, Braun
responded. I inquired about other
acts hes signed, and he simply
said, Theyre all underdogs.
Certainly Psy would be the
first Korean pop star to make it
big in the U.S., but Im not sure
110 million YouTube views
screams underdog.
- You could call Gym Class
Heroes an underdog before The
Papercut Chronicles II. Prior to
its release, the band only had one
bona fide hit record to its name
with the Patrick Stump-assisted
Cupids Chokehold. GCH
added three to that list with
Stereo Hearts, Ass Back
Home, and The Fighter.
What makes the feat more
impressive is the era in which it
was accomplished: Gym Class
Heroes have found a way to cut
through all of the dance music on
pop radio. Guitarist Disashi
LumumbaKasongo cited two
reasons for the success.
One, us being true to our-
selves as a band and as people,
Disashi said. And two, the fact
that the kids growing up today
and people who are grown up
already, want to hear more than
just one kind of music.
- For those clamoring to hear
new music from Hot Chelle
Rae, you wont have to wait
much longer. Guitarist Nash
Overstreet told me the band
started writing new material in
January, and could have a new
single out as soon as October.
- The sixth and final season of
Jersey Shore will also kick off
this October and DJ Pauly D
has no regrets about the run.
Its been an unbelievable ride
for me, Pauly said before he
ducked in to the Staples Center
for the VMAs. Six seasons
deep, six seasons strong, and this
past one, I cant wait for it to air.
We went out with a bang.
You would expect nothing less
from the Seaside Heights crew.
Yeah buddy.
- Listen to The Ralphie
Radio Show weeknights from
7p-12a on 97 BHT.
Regrets? No way. DJ Pauly D said season six of Jersey
Shore is going out with a bang.

Lukas Tomasacci thumbed
through the Kings College vinyl
collection on Thursday after-
noon, searching for funnier
album covers than those discov-
ered by his fellow students.
Seconds later, the bearded
21-year-old senior theatre major
scurried to the microphone to
introduce the next installment of
an original college radio drame-
dy that he helped create nearly
three years ago.
Written, recorded, and pro-
duced almost entirely by stu-
dents on the Wilkes-Barre cam-
pus, The Adventures of Harry
Flynn was the co-creation of
Kings grad Brandon Leon-
Gambetta and Tomasacci. The
program follows the titular gin-
soaked, hard-boiled private de-
tective from the 1930s.
It didnt have an easy start,
however. Tomasacci, of Shick-
shinny, recalled his first pitch for
the show being rejected. Leon-
Gambettas experience with a
similar program at Oberlin Col-
lege gave them the extra push
they needed to eliminate any
skepticism.
Their commitment goes
above and beyond what my ex-
pectation was, said Sue Henry,
general manager of WRKC 88.5
FM, the Kings radio station.
About 10 students are involved
in The Adventures of Harry
Flynn, and the 50th original
episode airs this month.
To get to 50 episodes on
something like this in under
three years is really an awesome
achievement for them, and I
applaud them, Henry said.
To tell the truth, I wasnt sure
we were going to make it
through the first season, added
Tomasacci, who is the current
head writer and voice behind the
announcer, the police commis-
sioner, and several smoky-
voiced villains. Its pretty
staggering to think that weve
gotten here.
The hard work netted Kings
one of its 10 nominations for
Intercollegiate Broadcasting
Systems Awards earlier this year.
The show is inspired in part by
Tomasaccis love for the Guy
Noir character from Garrison
Keillors radio program, A
Prairie Home Companion. The
Kings program draws from
other detective dramas but also
pokes fun at their standards.
We smash the fourth wall
with a sledgehammer, Tomasac-
ci said.
From the start of the writing
process until the final edits are
saved, each episode takes about
12 hours to complete, Henry and
Tomasacci said. Editing often
involves chopping out the laugh-
ing fits that the students and
their advisor have inside the
recording booth.
Flynns cases are as varied as
the student population involved
in the broadcasts.
While several actors like ju-
nior Nick Klem, 20, of South
Williamsport, or fifth year stu-
dents Brandi George and Drake
Nester, both 22 and hailing from
Emmaus, are studying theatre as
part of their college majors,
others like Nuangola native and
Kings junior Jennifer Momen-
zadeh, 20, are studying English
and history. Computer science
major DJ Nat, 21, of Plains,
portrays Flynn.
Its not just mass communi-
cations, Henry said. Its the
theatre department and profes-
sional writing department. Its all
of our students coming together
for a project.
Graduation will take some
students, including Tomasacci,
from Flynns world of smoke-
filled rooms and poorly lit alley-
ways, but Henry said several
new writers were added this
summer to help keep the adven-
ture alive.
Archives of The Adventures
of Harry Flynn are available at
http://wrkc.kings.edu. Episodes
are broadcast on 88.5 FM on
Fridays at 5 p.m. and Sundays at
noon. W

Passion might bloom from
inside each individual, but it takes
something to set that passion off.
For a future culinary star, it might
be the first taste of a secret family
recipe. For a stylist, it could be the
first glances at a back issue of
Italian Vogue. And for a guitarist,
its that first encounter with the
instrument, the moment it be-
comes more than just some wood
and strings.
In My First Guitar: Tales of
True Love and Lost Chords from
70 Legendary Musicians, guita-
rist and music journalist Julia
Crowe lets her peers in the indus-
try take turns recalling their first
encounters with the effusive in-
strument.
Each storyteller, including
Melissa Etheridge, Jimmy Page,
and Les Paul, takes that idea of the
first guitar as a jumping-off point.
From there, some relay stories that
go beyond that first instrument
into other beloveds that followed,
while others keep it short, sweet,
and to the point.
All of the musicians in this
book become essayists because
Crowe offers a quick bio for each
before letting them speak for
themselves. Their backgrounds
vary from blues and jazz guitarists
to classical and rock guitarists and
even guitar builders.
While the story of the first
guitar is special to musicians, its
more beguiling for those of us
who would love to play but dont
have an ounce of talent in our
bodies. In that case, these stories
are like a fairy tale a story we
can appreciate but cant complete-
ly grasp because its never hap-
pened to us.
Each entry in My First Guitar
has its own merits, but some of the
most charming are those by classi-
cal guitarist and composer Freder-
ic Hand, legendary musician
Carlos Santana, and Christian
Frederick Martin IV, the current
CEO of C.F Martin & Company.
Crowes own story, which is
weaved in short chapters between
those of her colleagues, is also a
standout of the book. Like most
musicians, she didnt have it easy,
but the trials and tribulations make
for an interesting timeline.
The way My First Guitar is
divided makes it a quick read,
easy to refer back to for those
certain favorites and easy to put
down and start reading again no
matter how much time has passed.
Its a must for passionate musi-
cians or those of us just pas-
sionate about music, regardless of
aptitude. W

ith his
shoulder-
length hair
pushed
behind his ears, wearing a
white Floorpunch t-shirt and
rolled up jeans, 22-year-
old Ned Russin was easily
identiable as the vocalist/
bassist of Title Fight as the
Weekender crew met him
outside his Kingston home last
week.
The beautiful, well-
furnished household, however,
isnt exactly the abode one
might picture a melodic
hardcore group to originate
from.
But, as the rest of his
bandmates consisting of his
twin brother and drummer Ben
Russin, singer/guitarist Jamie
Rhoden, and guitarist Shane
Moran arrived about 10
minutes later, they explained
that this little piece of suburbia
is the very reason their songs
exists.
Music interested the Russins
since they were about 7 years
old.
Acoupleof
Kingstonkids
Title Fights sound, DIY style derivative of NEPA
I remember trying to start
bands before we even played
instruments or anything, Ned
recalled with a laugh. When
we started, it was just Jamie,
Ben, and myself, and we were
just kind of playing for fun.
We would literally practice in
the room (in the basement)I
think my parents kind of hated
it, but we were just doing what
kids do.
As things kind of evolved
and Shane joined and we kept
playing, it just kind of started
becoming the only thing that
we really did.
Admittedly becoming
more concerned about record
covers than schoolwork, the
local music scene also made a
huge impact on the direction
of their lives.
I think Wilkes-Barre is
probably the biggest thing
that has played a part in our
sound over the years. From
growing up and listening to
local bandsthat we just grew
up watching and then grew up
playing with and stuff, it was
just such a cool thing to see,
Ned said.
Being that it is such a
small area thats very much
set in its ways, I think thats
a perfect place for someone
who has a different voice to
thrive, Moran added. For
us, we wanted to make music
with our friends. I think a lot

of people identify with that
Nothing really struck me like
being in a band did.
The area not only inspired
the sound of Title Fight, but
their lyrics as well.
We always talk about
where were from and
Kingston and stuff because I
think if we grew up anywhere
else, it would be completely
different, you know? Were
young and theres not much
to do, so for fun, we get
into trouble and skateboard
and write music, Ned
emphasized.
Its no surprise, then, that
the bands next album, Floral
Green, due for release Sept.
18, continues these themes
by exploring uncomfortable
thoughts. The ofcial
description of the album
online says it is a repudiation
of cynicism and narcissism,
which Ned simply calls an
adult version of teen angst.
I think the situation that
were in is such a weird,
irregular thing for a person
our age to be doingWe live
at home and we do something
really cool and unique when
were on the road, but when
were at home I feel like this
boring lump, he admitted.
I feel like if youre 22 and
youre going through life and
you have yourself all gured
out and youre just completely
happy, I think theres
something wrong with you. I
dont think thats normal.
After releasing their debut
full-length album Shed
through SideOneDummy
Records on May 3, 2011, Title
Fight toured until December.
Rather than become said
lumps during their break,
they returned to the studio
with producer and engineer
Will Yip at Studio 4 in
Conshohocken to write and
record a record a follow-up in
ve months.
We booked recording
time before we had a song
written, Ned said. I think
it was kind of this exciting
energy that weve never really
experienced before.
The process created a
very different record that
pushed the band even further
by trying a new recording
process. While Shed was
done almost completely live
and written over the course of
a year, Ned explained that the
band perfected one song each
day for Floral Green.
We would spend a whole
day doing whatever, messing
with different cymbals and
snare drums and turning every
knob on an amp to get the
right sound for that song, he
said.
Some of it is so different,
in fact, that Moran wrote the
rst single, Head in The
Ceiling Fan, for a completely
different band.
Jamie gave me a melody,
and I just came up with lyrics
for it. I just tried to push
myself to be a little bit more
abstract and create something
that was a little bit different
for me, personally, Moran
said.
The single also strays from
what critics and fans may have
expected.
Its different. I like putting
our neck out on the line like
that. I think the reward is
greater, Moran said.
One thing they refuse to
mess with is their consistent
employment of local
talent. The bands friend,
Evan Evans, of Town
Hill, helped them create
the DIY music video
for Ceiling Fan;
Neds girlfriend
Hannah Roman,
of Mountain
Top, directed
and edited
the video
for Secret
Society; the
album cover
artwork was
painted by their
pal John Garrett
Slaby, of Dallas;
and even their
touring crew
calls Northeast
Pennsylvania home.
Its like a very
insular community. I
think we want to show
the world what our area
and what our friends are
about, and thats like the
perfect way, to kind of
bring them along for the
ride, Moran enthused.
Though they never
assumed theyd make it
out of the state, Title Fight
is busy preparing to head
back over to Europe for their
biggest tour yet. Even though
theyll be millions of miles
away, Rhoden feels that there
is a reason they have a
following overseas.
Everyone
is there to
listen to
bands and have fun and hang
out with their friendsIn
Japan, obviously there was a
huge barrier with the language
and most of the people there
wouldnt know what you were
saying into the microphone,
but as soon as you started
playing,
everyone was
on the same
wavelength and would just go
off, he observed.
I already consider
ourselves successful. I dont
have a direct mindset of where
Id like to be as a band, but
we take it as it goesJust to
continue to tour would be a
successful thing to me. W
Ben Russin, right, chats with his former music teacher, Nancy Sanderson, outside his
Kingston home last week. The Russins always had a passion for all types of music,
Sanderson told the Weekender.

Tips

Special to the Weekender
from a
barbie chick
Infinite Improbability
By Rich Howells
Weekender Staff Writer
September is an unfortunate
month. All the previous summer
trends are long retired and it has
left our wardrobe feeling unin-
spired.
Ive got bad news - these Sep-
tember blues arent going to go
away. From now until the begin-
ning of October, our mind will be
focused on nothing but the taste
of pumpkin spice lattes, crunch-
ing leaves, and more importantly,
cardigans, hoodies, jackets, jeans,
sweaters, tights, thigh high socks,
boots, and everything else that
the new fall fashion will bring us
after their long awaited transition.
The only cure Ive found is to
get excited about all the clothes
you will soon be wearing and all
the trends that go along with
them. The time to start thinking
of your cooler climate outfits is
now. After all, fashion is always
at least one month ahead all the
time, so why shouldnt you be
too?
Lucky for you, Ill be here to
help you prepare for the fall
season.
My favorite new trend is the
use of leather for this fall. This
may bring up horrid images of
ill-fitting fabrics and leather-on-
leather dominatrix looks that are
better suited for a playtime bou-
tique than a night out on the
town.
By taking inspiration from
Catwoman and, yes, a bit of the
bondage-inspired looks all over
the runway this fall, leather is in
and this time it goes beyond a
leather jacket.
First of all when picking out
leather pants, be very careful not
to verge on disco gone wrong.
Slim or skinny cuts work best,
and make sure to choose the
shoes you pair with them wisely.
Short ankle boots are a great
choice for appearing classy and
edgy. If you want to take it to the
next level, get a pair of knee high
or even thigh high boots, if
youre brave enough. Be sure to
stick to a sleek simple style, as
too many zippers or laces will
cheapen the look.
The goal is to verge on cos-
tume and push the envelope
without ever appearing trashy.
Make sure things are formfitting
without being latex tight, and
when opting for a skirt, go for a
knee length one with a slit in the
back instead of just the miniskirt.
Trust me, leaving something to
the imagination is a lot sexier
than the real thing.
While keeping a head-to-toe
black look, you dont always have
to do full on leather. Break it up
with some softer pieces in differ-
ent fabrics. A basic black t-shirt
with a leather jacket, liquid leg-
gings, and high boots can be a
very simple yet sexy look thats
more comfortable for you.
My final tip, you do not always
have to get the real thing. Faux
leather gives off the same shiny
appearance and nowadays is just
as luxe as the real thing for half
the price and the guilt. W
Channel your inner
Catwoman this fall
Items like this python
embossed leather jacket
seen at the The Elie
Tahari Fall 2012
collection during Fashion
Week in New York are in
this season. Choices go
from neon embossed
leathers that mimic
python and ostrich to
rare and very expensive
tree-frog skin.

When I interviewed for the
staff writer position here at The
Weekender, I was asked if there
was something I would change or
add to the publication if I was
hired. I said, if anything, Id like
to see more geeky content.
Now you readers are stuck
with it.
Thats not to say that these
pages dont already offer relevant
content for us four-eyed poindex-
ters. There are book, movie, and
video game reviews; a tech co-
lumn; and enough regular music
coverage to keep your head bob-
bing for weeks.
What I hope to bring to the
table is a little more off the bea-
ten path a path I started paving
almost two years ago.
In October 2010, I started a
column in the Scranton newspa-
per Go Lackawanna called Infi-
nite Improbability, giving my
pencil-pushing perspective on
comic books, cult and indie
films, television shows and
cartoons, and pretty much
everything else I obsess
over. I reported the news all
week, so this was my little
escape from the serious
issues and a way I could
connect to Gos readers by
simply being myself.
With the increasing pop-
ularity of all of the things
that used to get you beat up
in grade school, it seems
like every website and
paper out there has made
space for blogs and co-
lumns about those afore-
mentioned topics, so you
may be wondering what
makes my writing any dif-
ferent. My mission is kind
of summed up in the name,
which was chosen for two
main reasons:
1. Its a nod to The
Hitchhikers Guide to the
Galaxy, but if you dont get the
reference, thats fine Im not
here to pretend Im smarter or
nerdier than you. I write for a
general audience so anyone can
understand the significance of
what Im discussing, but I throw
in extra tidbits for those already
familiar with the topic at hand. 2.
There are an infinite amount of
topics out there to talk about, as
you can be a geek with just
about any interest, so get ready
for something fresh each week.
And just as the Infinite Improb-
ability Drive created by author
Douglas Adams as a plot contri-
vance machine generated dis-
cussion about unlikely storytell-
ing devices, Ill be looking at
these subjects a bit deeper than
your average columnist or at
the very least differently.
Well, that and it sounded good.
Points for alliteration.
Over the last two years, Ive
written about everything from
street art to social networking to
meeting celebrities to awful
movie series to doomsday, and
Ive interviewed the likes of
Incredible Hulk star Lou Fer-
rigno, quirky author and
cartoonist Craig Yoe, and
Chewbacca himself, Peter
Mayhew, among others.
Most importantly, I had a
blast doing it, though I
wasnt satisfied with stop-
ping there. Now, thankfully,
I wont have to.
Growing up, being a geek
wasnt something you were
supposed to be proud of,
but it was something I al-
ways wore on my sleeve
anyway. As superhero mo-
vies gross millions and
zombies shamble across TV
screens, times have certain-
ly changed.
The realms of fantasy
arent dismissed as kid
stuff or viewed as the sole
property of some secret
society of nerds anymore.
Instead, theyre mined for
the next big entertainment
franchise, and the same
people who laughed at my action
figures as a kid are now asking
me where they can find them as
an adult.
Im happy to oblige. W

Renowned climate scientist and bestselling author Dr. Michael
E. Mann will give a free public lecture on Wednesday, Sept. 19 at
7:30 p.m. in the Sheehy-Farmer Campus Center at Kings Col-
lege. The topic will be his latest book, The Hockey Stick and
the Climate Wars: Dispatches from the Front Lines, published
by Columbia University Press.
Manns famous hockey stick global temperature reconstruct-
ion was prominently featured in the 2001 IPCC Summary for
Policymakers, and since then, the hockey stick has become an
icon in what he calls the Climate Wars.
Manns research indicated that modern day temperatures are
significantly higher than at any time in the past 1,000 years and
subsequent research by Mann and others have extended the
time frame back to 2,000 years.
For more information, contact Dr. Brian Mangan, director, Envi-
ronmental Program and Susquehanna River Institute at Kings,

The Dietrich Theater (60 E. Tioga St., Tunkhannock) will host an original radio play by Bill Bach-
man, The Lattimer Massacre: A Journey Back in Time on Sunday, Sept. 16 at 3 p.m. It is the
story of one of the most violent labor strikes in the United States.
The Lattimer Massacre occurred on Sept. 10, 1897, at Lattimer Mines, just outside of Hazelton,
when unarmed immigrant, striking miners were stopped by the sheriff of Luzerne County and his
posse of nearly 100 deputies. A scuffle started when the sheriff confronted the strikers, and three
minutes later, 19 miners were dead in the dirt at the entrance of the mines.Bachman, senior in-
structor in communication arts and sciences at Penn States Wilkes-Barre campus, will lead a dis-
cussion about the massacre as it relates to our civil liberties, human rights, the justice system, and
the treatment of immigrant laborers in the U.S. today.
The radio play, performed by a cast of 26 voices, will be presented to a darkened theater as if all
are listening to a radio drama. Reservations for this free program are available at the Dietrich The-
ater ticket booth or by calling 570.996.1500.

In love, everyone may wish
that they could use a little magic
to make things go their way.
Relationships, however, are never
that easy - even for witches.
Actors Circle is opening its
31st season at the Providence
Playhouse (1256 Providence Rd.,
Scranton) with the supernatural
romantic comedy, Bell, Book
and Candle, by John Van Dru-
ten.
It follows free-spirited Gillian
Holroyd, unlucky in love, restless
in life, and a witch. The love of
her life, Shep Henderson, gets
engaged to her college rival, so
she uses all her magic to stop the
impending wedding but learns
that love is the strongest spell of
all.
Its a story that charmed Clarks
Summit director David Hunisch
when he first read the play, later
suggesting it to Actors Circle.
Its an elegant, funny comedy,
and it brings in some different
supernatural elements as well,
which gives it a bit of an edge,
Hunisch said.
The 32-year-old seasoned actor
made his directorial debut at the
Providence Playhouse with the
opening show of its 30th season,
The Ladies of the Camellias,
and will bring that knowledge to
his second time in the directors
chair.
I think the challenge is just
trying to keep it from getting too
hokey. You always want to try to
keep it as real as possibleI try
to get them to always come back
to, What is the characters initial
motivation? Why are they here?
What do they want?
Inspired by the original Broad-
way production, which starred
Rex Harrison, Hunisch admitted
that he is not a fan of the movie
starring James Stewart and Kim
Novak. He also wanted to choose
a play that people may recognize
from the 1958 film adaptation.
Especially in this area, I think
a lot of people like to see things
that theyre somewhat familiar
with. At the same time, I think
the play is a little different than
the movie, so there will be some
surprises for them as well, he
noted.
I think the movie lacks a bit
of the intimacy that the show
has.
Hunisch feels that the humor
and mystical elements, mixed
with a poignant love story, are
what make Bell, Book and
Candle, which runs from Sep-
tember 20-23 and 28-30, a very
satisfying show.
I think the show does have a
little bit of everything in it. I
think we have a very strong cast
of local actors, and I think its an
enjoyable show, too, he said. W

Moosic resident Michael
Meoni may have lost his
year-and-a-half battle with
Acute Myeloid Leukemia on
Aug. 29, but just weeks
after his passing, those who
knew him will be celebrat-
ing his memory.
Patrick Martin of Scranton
met Meoni, a geometry
teacher at Lakeland Junior/
Senior High School, about a
year ago through mutual
friends and his sister Kim-
berly, who donated stem
cells in hope of curing his
disease.
Martin had never met
anyone so young with can-
cer before but was struck by
how much he cared for oth-
ers problems outside of his
own. Meoni was 27 when he
died last month and was
married not even a year
before as a result of a wish
granted by Project Wish.
It sounds clich, but he
was a very caring person.
He was a fighter, and he
was strong, Martin recalled.
He liked to teach. He
was good with kids. Even
though he would have prob-
lems, he was willing to
listen to you and talk to you
about something that hap-
pened at workIve known
other people like that, but
in that situation, I couldnt
imagine I would be the
same way, to tell you the
truth.
When he found out what
Kimberly was doing for her
brother, Martin felt com-
pelled to help out in any
way that he could, so he
quickly began organizing a
benefit to help the Meoni
family pay for medical bills.
Im one of these people
who cannot stand by and let
things happen around me
like that. Theres no way to
fix it, so this is the second
best thing to me, he em-
phasized.
Martin recruited his six-
member improvisational
comedy group Here We Are
In Spain to participate, and
quickly gathered an eclectic
line-up consisting of juggler
and magician Michael Si-
mon, Brendan Regan on
acoustic guitar, fellow com-
edy troupe Unorganized
Business Ensemble, and
indie rock band A Fire With
Friends.
Local businesses, such as
Pizza by Pappas, Canada
Dry-Royal Crown, Fratellis
Pizza and Pasta House,
Steve & Irenes Hoagies,
Comics On the Green, Em-
bassy Vinyl, and Penn Fos-
ter also donated free food,
fliers, and gift cards and
baskets for $1 raffles.
Everyone was onboard
almost instantly. It really
made me believe that people
care, Martin beamed. Ev-
erybody was so willing to
do it. I was so blown away
by it.
His hope is that the varie-
ty of acts scheduled for
Saturday, Sept. 15 at the
AFA Gallery (514 Lacka-
wanna Ave., Scranton) will
bring in a crowd.
Thats why were doing
two shows, an 8 p.m. and a
10 p.m. If juggling and
magic is not your thing,
then maybe music is your
thing. If music is not your
thing, maybe comedy is. My
goal is to get about 100
people per show and tickets
have been selling well al-
ready, he explained.
The funnyman is also
looking forward to his
groups part of the evening.
If you like shows like
Whose Line Is It Anyway?
thats basically what we do.
We go to the audience for a
suggestion, and based on
your suggestion we create a
sceneBring your goofiest
and silliest things; throw
them at us. We like things
that we dont normally get,
he noted.
The most important part
of the night, however, is
supporting a cause that has
touched many throughout
the area.
One, its a great cause,
so youre not going to lose
money, so to speak. Two,
its great entertainment.
Three, theres going to be
free food at intermission at
both shows. You cant pass
that up! he enthused.
Its not only been a good
experience getting to know
Mike and his family, but
putting this together has
been a great experi-
enceIm really excited
about the show and I cant
wait to see what happens.

sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
Weekender Correspondent
On my last birthday, following
the crushing results of losing
Prom King at a reenactment of a
1980s Prom in New York City, I
rushed directly to a psychic hop-
ing for a prophecy for a better
tomorrow.
Instead, I was told I need to
lose 40 pounds before I could
ever be on television - and I
never even told her I wanted to
be on television!
Apparently, she never watched
the sitcom Mike & Molly on
CBS, starring two of the most
amazing people in Hollywood
who just happen to be heavier
than most: Bridesmaids star
Melissa McCarthy and the ba-
dass Billy Gardell.
When I found out Gardell
would be coming to the area to
perform his stand-up act at Cove
Haven Resort in Lakeville on
Sunday, Sept. 23, I had to reach
out to my new idol whose junk in
his trunk is nothing but funk!
WEEKENDER: Tell me
something Billy Gardell would
say sorry to his mom and dad
for?
BILLY GARDELL: Im
sorry, mom and dad, for sneaking
out of the house at night and
causing a lot of unnecessary
worry. I wont say what I did
when I snuck out, Ill keep that
between me and God.
W: Mike & Molly, about two
lovers that met at an Overeaters
Anonymous meeting, has taken
some heat for being heavy on the
fat jokes. Does it bother you that
the writers incorporate weight
jokes on the show?
BG: Weve focused less and
less on that as the show went on,
but we had to address it, you
know? Our story at the end of the
day is about two people who
never thought they would fall in
love, falling in love.
W: In your own words, what
can people expect when they
come to see you live?
BG: My stand-up humor kind
of crosses over from the shows
humor because its based in the
working class. I grew up in a
working class family in Pitts-
burgh, and it stems from what
life was like through that.
W: The day after you headline
Cove Haven, the third season of
Mike & Molly premieres. Last
season wrapped with you two
tying the knot. What can viewers
look forward to this season?
BG: To me, its the real begin-
ning of the show. Were going to
experience all of the things that
come with marriage - getting a
house, asking ourselves if we
should have a kid. Its where the
fun begins.
Mike & Molly fans, be sure
to see Gardell perform live at
Cove Haven Resort on Septem-
ber 23!
And to the psychic who told
me to lose weight, go eat a
doughnut and maybe people will
know who you are! W
Billy Gardell, co-star of Mike & Molly, will appear at
Cove Haven Resort on Sept. 23.
It ain't over until the
fat man tells a joke
comers, old timers welcome. Hand
drums, percussion provided. Free, no

just for the
health of it
By Tim Hlivia
Special to the Weekender
Life is a Drag
By Estella Sweet
Weekender Correspondent
When it comes to training,
exercising, and eating well,
most people are motivated to
get moving and watch their
calories. For a lot of men
looking good typically out-
weighs the desire to getting
healthy. Most, if not all, men
want a body that women find
attractive and sexually appeal-
ing. This in itself is extremely
motivating, especially if youre
a single guy on the social
scene.
Through my experience and
observation, most women
seem to find the image of the
X shaped body most desir-
able. This body type trumps
the image of the skinny guy,
overweight guy, and even the
heavily muscled guy. Women
want a guy who looks good in
and out of clothes.
By walking into most gyms
and observing what the major-
ity of men are doing, it seems
as if they are training to im-
press well, other men. I myself
feel compelled, to a degree, to
show my strength relative to
my body weight.
The male ego is a tough
character to compete with.
But, we (as men) also need to
remember that developing a
lean, healthy body is the goal,
especially as we get older. No
amount of grunting or slam-
ming of weights is going to
impress anyone.
Lets assume a girl is going
to see you with your clothes
on the first time you meet.
Shes going to notice your
frame before she notices the
details of your appearance, so
well-fitted clothing is a must.
Shell subconsciously notice
how your broad shoulders are
relative to your leg size.
Hence the X shape.
Consciously shell check out
your arms and maybe your
calves if you are wearing
shorts. However, as Carmine
Lupertazzi from The So-
pranos says, A Don doesnt
wear shorts; its undignified.
With that said, how you go
about training is extremely
important. Choose your exer-
cises carefully. Steer clear
from fad programs and point-
less exercises that can poten-
tially harm you.
Here are some basic guide-
lines when choosing the prop-
er methods:
Work the fundamentals.
There is no reason do to crazy
workouts if you havent devel-
oped a base yet. Be leary of
programs that throw you in the
mix without proper assessment
of your current fitness level.
Execute strict form. This
horse has been beaten, buried,
exhumed, desecrated, cremat-
ed, and buried at sea already.
The benefits of certain exer-
cise are immense, but do them
correctly or risk injury.
Keep it simple. While you
may be tempted to try ad-
vanced techniques, doing so
increases the potential for
injury. Your best bet is to stick
with tried and true exercises,
but work hard at them. W
Dont try to look like Russian bronze medal weightlifter
Ruslan Albegov. Find a fundamental workout.

Love is in the air
I was recently in a situation
where I felt like I didnt belong,
even amongst my queer peers,
as jokes were being told having
to do with race. Im not overly
sensitive but it put me in a
really weird place emotionally.
It took me back to when I had
to deal with black people not
liking me because Im gay and
then I was feeling like gay peo-
ple didnt like me because Im
black. Have you ever been in a
situation where you felt reject-
ed by those who you expected
to be the most accepting of you
and how did you deal with it?
If you havent encountered my
situation before, what advice
do you have for me moving
forward from this event?
- Seemingly Solo
Dear Seemingly Solo,
Expectations, great or small,
what a b-tch! Weve all got em.
Its only natural. If I read you
right, you were in a situation
where you expected to be accept-
ed for who you are, gay and
black - in other words, fabulous!
In another situation you might
have had your guard up regarding
either or both status and been
emotionally prepared for any and
all crap that might float your way.
Im willing to bet that this is
not the first (nor the last) time
youve heard racist jokes. In
mixed company, its often found
socially acceptable to poke fun at
peoples differences, and Id be a
hypocrite if I said I myself have
never participated. However,
there is a very fine line between
a joke and disrespect. In addition,
some people dont know when
enough is enough.
Ive been in similar situations
and, admittedly, they do suck. So,
how do you deal with the occa-
sional bad apple and how do you
cope with the emotions they
conjure up without ending up in
a body cast or the back of a po-
lice car? When dealing with
a-holes, remember the 3 As:
Assess, Act, and Award.
First assess the safety of the
situation and decide whether its
really worth making a statement
or if its just something you
should walk away from. Second,
act based on your assessment.
Actions will vary. A few exam-
ples include: walking away, head
held high; speaking clearly and
directly to the transgressor either
privately or in public; and then
theres my favorite, a withering
glare, followed by a strategic hair
flip or eye roll.
Finally, whether your actions
result in triumph or tragedy, the
final A is to award yourself.
When life gives you bad apples,
add vodka and make yourself an
appletini.
Regardless of how you deal
with the situation, keep in mind
there will always be that one
person. If there wasnt, you may
not appreciate all the worthy and
wonderful people you do have.
You only have control over
yourself. Racism exists. Ho-
mophobia exists. A-holes exist.
What matters is how you deal.
Dont let them get you down.
Thankfully they are becoming
fewer and further between.
In the meantime, feel your
feelings and then let go of what-
ever no longer serves you. Sur-
round yourself with good people
and ignore the occasional jerk.
Thats how you keep moving
forward. In the meantime, just do
you. W

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
Kittens, teenagers, and lovers simply
dont respond well to uninvited discipline,
no matter how much they need it. Sucks
for you, when youve got livid red scratch
marks all over your ankles and/or ego
from their rambunctiously playful antics.
Its tragic that they dont even stop once
theyve drawn bloodunless its their
own. Learning to control the frisky charac-
ters in your life is hardly a worthwhile
objective, eithersince their wildness is
something you crave and enjoy. So, what
to do? My philosophy: If you cant (or
dont want to) beat them, joining them
could be a sh-t-ton of fun.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Your mantra this week: This plan is so
crazy, it just might work! In fact, if your
schemes too normal, its practically bound
to fail. If you were born into another time
youd probably be a starship captain, and,
as we all know, insane strategies are prac-
tically the modus operandi of interstellar
adventurers. Avoiding clichs and predict-
ability this week is your main purpose in
life. Surprise yourself with what you get
up to! Otherwise, the fleet of enforcer
ships in hot pursuit will know exactly what
youre planning, and youll be incarcerated
in intergalactic jail for the next 20 cycles.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Mama Scorpion has the best-behaved
babies in all the zodiac. Shes a good
mothershe lets the pale little infant
monsters ride around on her back until
theyre old enough to poison, maim, and
devour on their own. Meanwhile, she does
all that stuff for them. Aw, how sweet.
That deadly stinger poised above their
heads must make them feel completely
safeand utterly unable to act out. Hav-
ing powerful allies and advocates can be
usefuljust make sure they dont cramp
your style, especially when youre so good
at stinging and conquering on your own.
SAGITTARIUS
(NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Effectively creating (or tweaking) your
reality can require more finesse than a
gourmet meal. Simply combining the
correct amounts of all the right ingredients
and following the recipe doesnt always
work, especially on the first try. No cook-
book can possibly account for those in-
tangible variables that might affect the
outcome, like your altitude, your mood, or
your ovens inaccuracy. Trying to do
things by the book this week could prove
more disastrous, rubbery, and inedible
than a collapsed souffl. Trust your in-
stincts instead; especially because half the
people youre dealing with have ovens that
run ten degrees hotter or colder than the
number on the dial.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
Hardly Trying is hardly in your reper-
toire, let alone a familiar act like Trying
Too Hard and Giving It Your All. It
might just be beyond you, but could you at
least half-try Half-Trying? This week
you run an extremely high risk of being
permanently branded overzealous, too
intense, or overqualified for your job,
relationship, or volunteer duties. Like all
strengths, even your usually admirable
focus and persistence can be a weakness
in certain contexts. Take a holiday break
from your overachievement. Except for
my assignment, adopt this mantra this
week: If at first you dont succeed, give up
for now.
AQUARIUS
(JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Can I just tell you how often my big,
sloppy ego has gotten in the way of my
true hopes? You know what Im talking
about. How many times have you sabo-
taged something thats almost in your
grasp, only because the means failed to
fulfill some grandiose vision of yourself?
The irony: your self-sabotage can only
reinforce your negative self-images. Ful-
filling your desires, by whatever means,
can only enhance your greatness. The
clue: Sometimes, a little humility is re-
quired to get what you want. Think of it as
taking one step back so you can take two
steps forward. Works for me, when I can
manage to do it. Now you try.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
You tread unfamiliar territory so often
that routines, habits, and sure things are
more strange and frightening than the
unknown ever was. Thats why this newest
chapter is giving you some qualmsyou
can tell already that its going to be great,
instead of the pleasant uncertainty youre
used to. Would it help if I told you that its
going to be incredible in a way that youve
simply never experienced before, and
beyond anything even your prodigious
imagination has conjured up yet? Got a
few nervous butterflies? Good. Theyll
help when the latest plot twist blows your
mindand who knows what else.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
A butterfly is far too fragile to be your
new power animal, but Id like to give it to
you anyway, perhaps as a totemaccesso-
ry. It perfectly embodies the necessary
journey you undertake at least onceand
often many timesduring your lifetime.
Periodically (like this week), youre frus-
trated because youre not granted the
respect you know you deserve. People see
you as little, cute, and fuzzy, perhaps a bit
of a pestsomething akin to a poisonous
(but only if you eat it) caterpillar. Theres
not much you can do about it but turn
inward and transform yourself (again).
Ironically, once you flutter beyond your
cocoon, not only will you get more admi-
ration than ever before; youll care about
and need it even less.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
I almost started a food fight in the caf
when I innocently tried to toss scraps to
my dog. It was an accident, but no one
likes scrambled eggs in their hair, espe-
cially old ladies. Luckily, she didnt notice,
and I managed to surreptitiously brush it
out when I pretended to bump into her.
Bits of your own good deed might piss
someone off when they get caught in the
crossfire. Remember, one dogs treat can
be another old biddys nightmare. When
delivering blessings this week, make sure
you aim at the right person (the one wholl
best appreciate them).
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
I hate keeping secrets from you, and Im
no good at it either. Thats why I cant
keep my mouth shut about this one: some-
one you love is hiding something incred-
ible, and mind-blowingly surprising. Be-
fore you explode with rage or curiosity, let
me explain: Its the kind of secret that not
only improves with time, but one that
youre better off not knowing at all (at
least until the time is right). Think: Sur-
prise birthday parties, money hidden under
the floorboards, and rich, anonymous
patrons. Now can you just shut up and
enjoy not knowing, please?
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
Imagine yourself building a brick wall
six feet high. Would you start by stacking
bricks, one wobbling column at a time? Of
course not. If you want your wall to last,
youve got to build it one horizontal layer
at a time, staggering the individual bricks
from row to row, and slapping a healthy
layer of mortar in between to hold it all
together. The same thing goes for the
mental defense youre trying to construct.
You dont want the whole thing to come
tumbling down at the slightest touch. But
dont get carried away, eitherits got to
stay just tall enough and strong enough to
keep out the losers and prove the mettle of
the winners who make it over, or through.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
Flying high on romance can cause a
painful concussion, whenever you slam
your skull against the glass ceiling beyond
which only movies and fairy tales can go.
Love affairs are, by far, the most effective
destabilizers known to Leo-kind; they
have more undertow per square inch than
the Bermuda Triangle. Before you become
completely lost while riding that hurricane
of emotion, let me remind you to tether
yourself to familiar territory with an un-
breakable carbotanium cable. In case you
havent already, do it this weekyou
should be touching down briefly on the
last island of solidity before you hit the
open sea. W

Ninjas are downright cool.
They can do amazing martial
arts moves, wear pajamas,
and wield a sword.
You get to do all of these
things and more in Mark of
The Ninja, a new download-
able title on Xb Live Summer
of Arcade. The game chal-
lenges you to hide in the
shadows, turn everyday ob-
jects into weapons, and dis-
patch enemies with a sword
as quickly as possible.
Mark of the Ninja is
about the champion of a ninja
clan that was attacked by a
group of mercenaries. Now
your character must get a
series of sacred tattoos that
magically give you the ability
to blend in with the shadows.
The tattoos carry a draw-
back, however. The longer
your ninja wears these an-
cient symbols, the more in-
sane he becomes. You must
avenge your clan before the
magic makes you kill your-
self.
There a lot of stealth games
out there but not too many
2D side-scrolling stealth
games like Mark of the Nin-
ja. The combination of two
classic styles of game play -
stealth and platforming -
creates an experience like no
other.
Most of the time platform-
ing games are about jumping
on guys or shooting because
its hard to hide when you are
on the same plane as your
enemy. Just like a true ninja,
you can hide anywhere, cling
to walls, duck into grates, or
hide behind scenery and in-
side boxes.
All of the design elements
make you feel like a true
ninja. Sneaking elements are
shown visually on the screen,
along with graphic repre-
sentations of footsteps and
breaking objects. All move-
ments produce visible cones
that show the player how far
away an actions sound travels
and how enemies react. It
comes across as a super sense
that allows the player to effi-
ciently sneak around for a kill
or just bypass threats.
There are actually enough
ways to sneak through a level
using distraction items, gad-
gets, and hiding spots that
you can complete the game
without killing anyone, but
what kind of ninja would do
that? The crisp, clean, comic
book-style are is beautiful
and makes each kill look and
feel satisfying. In that re-
spect, its certainly not a good
title for smaller children.
One of my favorite things
about this game besides the
gameplay is the scoring sys-
tem. Mark of the Ninja
awards you for successful
stealth kills, hiding bodies,
evading guards, and so on.
Nearly every action earns
points that can be traded for
weapons, distraction items,
and new moves.
You wont be able to buy
everything in one round, but
thankfully there is a game
plus mode that lets you retain
your abilities while adding
