The saddest thing for
Romney must be that most
Americans would actually
trust Obama to do a better job

Letter from the editor
Maybe some of the lessons
that Andrew W.K. brought to
Luzerne County Community
College last month rubbed off
on us.
One thing is for certain,
though. The Weekender staff
sure knows how to throw a
party. Just ask the nearly 200
people who turned out to The
Woodlands on Oct. 5 for the
2012 Model of the Year Party.
From the patriotic chants of
the crowd to the exciting
crowning of our top Man and
Model from the last 52 weeks,
the event was a blast from start
to finish.
Ive been to several MOTY
parties in the past, often work-
ing on the technical side of
things, from streaming live
video in the past to updating the
Weekenders social networks.
This year, I got my first real
chance to enjoy the evening
while working a little bit, too.
For me, no night is better
than one where my wife and I
can escape the doldrums of
parenting for a few hours,
which we were lucky enough to
do on Friday.
Its also pretty uplifting when
a Playboy model and former
co-worker sneaks by the voting
table to tell you that your wife
is f--king smoking hot!
That may give me just a few
less bragging points than Rob
Nitkowski and Dominique Ko-
zuch earned after they earned
the support of readers and judg-
es to take home this years title.
There may be no more hys-
terical memory that Ill have
from past parties than watching
the Man of 2012 passionately
deliver the If I can change
speech from the end of Rocky
IV, dressed in his patriotic best.
But enough from me. You can
see what you missed and learn
more about the cream of the
crop from the Weekender on
pages 36-38.
If you missed this years par-
ty, be sure you dont miss the
next one.
As always, thanks for read-
ing.

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
MODERN WARFARE
China, Japan and Taiwan each
claim ownership of the uninhab-
ited South China Sea islands of
Senkaku or Diaoyu, and the
controversy heightened in Sep-
tember when Japan announced
that it had formally purchased
the islands from a private compa-
ny that reputedly owned them.
China countered by launching
its first-ever aircraft carrier (a
vessel junked in 1998 by Uk-
raine), which it hopes will intimi-
date its neighbors even though it
is useless to planes. Days later,
patrol boats from Taiwan and
Japan had a confrontation near
the islands -- drenching each
other in a military-grade squirt-
gun fight. (Japan won.)
MAMAS BOY
A14-year-old boy was hospi-
talized in critical condition in
Churchill, Pa., in August after
allegedly swiping a Jeep Grand
Cherokee and leading the own-
ers boyfriend on a brief high-
speed chase before rolling the
Cherokee over on Interstate 376.
The boys mother, according to
WTAE-TV, blamed the Chero-
kees owner: A vehicle with the
keys in it, she said, was an op-
portunity that, in a 14-year-olds
eyes, was ... the perfect moment.
Also, she said, the boyfriend had
no right to chase my son. The
boy could have just (wanted) a
joyride down the street. Maybe
he (merely) wanted to go farther
than he felt like walking.
TOO FAT TO DIE
Ohio death-row inmate Ronald
Post, 53, asked a federal court in
September to cancel his January
date with destiny on the grounds
that, despite almost 30 years of
prison food, hes still too fat to
execute. At 480 pounds, vein
access and other issues would
cause his lethal injection to be
torturous.
MIND YOUR MANNERS
Iranian cleric Hojatoleslam Ali
Beheshti was hospitalized in the
town of Shahmirzad in Septem-
ber, allegedly after being roughed
up by a woman. According to
Irans Mehr news agency, the
cleric was merely performing his
duty, warning an allegedly
immodestly dressed woman to
cover herself better. She suggest-
ed, instead, that he should cover
(his) eyes, and when he contin-
ued admonishing her, she, un-
ladylike, pushed him away and
kicked him.
COCKY KAYAKER
Arrested in September and
charged with aggravated indecent
exposure (making continued
obscene gestures to female kay-
akers on Michigans Pinnebog
River while nude): 60-year-old
TV producer William H. Masters
III -- the son of pioneer 1960s sex
researcher William Masters
(who, with Virginia Johnson,
wrote the landmark books Hu-
man Sexual Response and Hu-
man Sexual Inadequacy).
MACHETE HAZARD
In August, the Consumer Prod-
uct Safety Commission and the
Gerber Legendary Blades com-
pany of Portland, Ore., an-
nounced a recall of Gerber ma-
chetes. According to CPSC, the
machetes might have a defect
that could cause the handle to
break, making the machete, said
CPSC, a laceration hazard.
SEX ED
Richard Wagner Jones, run-
ning for a school board seat in
Granite, Utah, told reporters in
June that since the job is mainly
about taxes and budgets, he
would not have to make site
visits to schools. That is fortu-
nate, for Jones is barred from
schools as a registered sex of-
fender based on a 1990 convic-
tion.
KILLER CAMPAIGN
Mike Rios, a former school
board member in Moreno Valley,
Calif., said in August that he was
still considering running for the
towns council despite his March
arrest for attempted murder and
April arrest for pimping (alleged-
ly caught with several underage
recruits).
A FUNGUS AMONG US
Yak herders in Tibet and farm-
ers in the Indian Himalayas are
becoming relatively prosperous,
according to recent reports by
National Geographic and Lon-
dons The Guardian, by harvest-
ing rare caterpillar fungi. In
Tibet, yartsa gunbu supposedly
cures ailments ranging from back
pain to HIV, from hair loss to
asthma and more, and often sells
in local markets for twice its
weight in gold. In India, kira
jari is believed to be an aphrodi-
siac and energy booster, but the
government is trying to control
the market because insufficient
new larvae means the land might
soon be picked clean.
AND A NICE CHIANTI
Arrests were made in July of
two men who had openly chatted
on the Internet about torturing,
cooking and eating children, but
investigators have searched in
vain for evidence of any such
crimes by the men. Jason Scarce-
llo, 42, who wrote, (A)ctually
(seeing) a child cooking would
be a dream come true, is under
arrest in Anderson, Calif., and
Ronald Brown, 57, who suggest-
ed carving and cooking body
parts for an Easter meal, in
Largo, Fla., was detained for
possessing child pornography,
but, regarding the Internet chats,
both claimed a First Amendment
right to their un-acted-upon
imaginations, however disgust-
ing.
W
IRRESISTABLE
BOOTY
Aaron Morris was
charged in August with
battery in North Lau-
derdale, Fla., for grop-
ing the buttocks of a
woman at a Walmart.
According to the arrest-
ing officer, Morris ex-
plained, Her booty
looked so good, I just
couldnt resist touching
it. W

Known for quirky songs like My Name Is Mud and the South Park theme song, Primus is, from left,
guitarist Larry Ler LaLonde, drummer Jay Lane, and bassist/vocalist Les Claypool.

Weekender Staff Writer
W
hen Primus,
the funky
alternative
rock
trio from San Francisco,
announced that they would
Primus bringing frst 3-D tour to Wilkes-Barre
be embarking on a three-
dimensional tour, many fans
asked, How can a band do a
tour in 3-D?
Its such a peculiar concept
that even guitarist Larry
LaLonde isnt exactly sure
how its going to work yet.
Weve been trying to
incorporate more and more
video stuff into our show and
trippy stuff that plays off the
music, like weird visuals and
textures and stuff. I think it
was probably our manager,
Brad (Sands) he probably
just bought a new 3-D TV; Im
assuming thats where it came
from. I think he was probably
like, Hey, man! What about
3-D? LaLonde said of the
tours origins in a recent
phone interview.
We started investigating
what the possibilities of this
were and came across some
guys that have been working
on this technology and its
pretty cool. Im pretty blown
away by it. We havent
actually put the whole thing
together as far as like doing
a show or playing it
with the band and
everything, so Im
pretty excited
about it. Well
nd out in the
next couple of
days how it all
works, but so
far everything
Ive seen
is pretty
amazing.
It wouldnt
be the rst time
LaLonde has
trodden new musical
territory.

Stratocaster, he bugged his
parents at the age of 12 to buy
him his rst guitar, received
lessons from virtuoso Joe
Satriani, and delved into the
burgeoning thrash metal scene
by 15, playing in Possessed,
which was widely credited as
the founder of death metal.
Metal was the perfect genre
for the young axman to hone
his technical chops. As the
music became heavier and
faster, he felt that he would
rather be a part of something
fresh and innovative, like the
Dead Kennedys and Frank
Zappa.
It nally got to a point
where heavier and faster
kind of became sort of the
sound of a garbage truck
going down the road,
LaLonde cracked. A
bunch of my friends
were into the Grateful
Dead and King Crimson
and all this kind of stuff,
so all of a sudden Im
hanging out with
them and
started
getting
into
Frank
Zappa and all this stuff. It kind
of made me just switch into
that.
I thought that was like the
next level of music to be into.
That next level came in
the form of Primus, which
released six groundbreaking
studio albums since 1990, one
of which went gold (Tales
from the Punchbowl) while
two others went multi-
platinum (Sailing the Seas of
Cheese and Pork Soda).
The success of singles
like Jerry Was a Race Car
Driver, My Name is Mud,
and Wynonas Big Brown
Beaver can largely be
attributed to the
quirky but catchy bass lines
and lyrics by frontman Les
Claypool, but it is LaLondes
guitar that lls the space in
between and helps complete
I want to make sure the
guitar part is kind of perfect,
or at least perfect in my mind
to make everything work
You try to nd the holes, try
to nd the places where it
ts in and makes senseThe
Police was that way a lot; a
lot of guitar parts were kind of
tted around the bass and bow
wow wows. Alot of bands I
was into were bass heavy, he
explained.
Its funny. Sometimes stuff
will just really be off the cuff
songwriting and it wont really
be thought about too much,
and then theres other times
where Ill kind of really think
out a part because there will
be, like, a really interesting
bass line that I want to make
sure that I dont mess it up.
Tired of the record-tour-
record cycle, the group went
on hiatus in 2000, playing
shows sporadically over the
years as LaLonde joined Tom
Waits and Serj Tankian of
System of a Down on the road
and recorded two albums with
his own band, No Forceeld.
It was denitely a whole
other experience to not be
such a big part of the band.
I was just sort of a side guy,
so it was kind of cool to just
slack off a bit and just play
guitar and not have to worry
about much else. Theyve all
been really fun things, he
acknowledged.
The No Forceeld stuff
was another thing that was
just cool because it was a
crazy scene. It was a lot
of hanging out in the
turntable world around
San Francisco. That
scene was kind of
like the next wave
of how guitar
used to be as far
as people being
really being
into learning
and pushing
the boundaries
and
practicing. I
hadnt really
seen anything
like that since
me sort of the kind of becam
rbage truck sound of a gar
he road, going down th
cked. A LaLonde crac
friends bunch of my f
Grateful were into the

with hanging out w
them and
started
getting
into

Rejoined by one of Primus
rst drummers, Jay Lane, they
hit a new creative stride in
2010 as they began working
on their rst studio album
since 1999s Antipop. The
results became the well-
received Green Naugahyde,
released in Sept. 2011.
Getting back in was
exciting, and everyone was
ready to do it. On top of
that, now theres a lot more
technology to make things
easier, as far as I can pull
up all my song ideas on my
phone. I can record stuff and
go home and work on stuff.
All those things kind of made
it a lot more fun, LaLonde
described.
As far as the songwriting,
a lot of it was just jamming in
the studio. Since we did have
so much time off before this
one, I had a ton of song ideas
together. So I mean the basic
idea behind the whole thing
is that we just went in and
just started doing it. Before
we knew it, we just had an
album.
The new surround sound,
3-D tour, which stops at the
F.M. Kirby Center on Tuesday,
Oct. 16, will also leave little
downtime for Primus this year,
but thats not what has the
44-year-old worried.
I better not wear the 3-D
glasses because I might not
be able to multi-task on the
guitar playing and the video
watching. Hey, man! This is
a cool movie! Oh, yeah, yeah,
guitar! he joked.
Maybe the next one we just
put on Free Bird by Skynyrd
in the back speakers and thats
the show. Minimalist. Give
em what they want. W

Special to the Weekender
Unless youve been living in
a cave for the past 10 years,
you know about YouTube, the
website that allows just about
anyone to upload videos of just
about anything, for free.
The amount of video handled
by YouTube is staggering
more than 2 billion views per
day, which is nearly double the
prime-time audience of the top
three major broadcast net-
works. In the space of two
months, more video is posted
to YouTube than has been pro-
duced by those networks in the
past 60 years. On top of that,
theres more than 7,000 hours
worth of full TV shows and
movies.
Despite this, Google-owned
YouTube generates only
about $2 billion a year, a frac-
tion of the amount taken in by
a typical network.
Since expenses are far lower
than say, NBC, its still raking
in plenty of cash, but always
looking for ways to make more
money.
Last year, YouTube decided
to experiment with the produc-
tion of original content, and it
seems to have been a success
its adding a full 60 channels
of original content for major
markets in Europe and the
United States.
While these channels arent
yet household names like the
major network providers, they
feature premium high-defini-
tion content produced by major
names in media.
If you step back and look at
the big picture, the networks
should be breaking a sweat.
One of the greatest aspects
of YouTube is that it can be
accessed essentially anywhere.
From your computer, of course,
from your phone, and yes, even
your TV, provided that its new
enough. Even if its not, a set-
top box called Google TV is
available.
YouTube is also beginning to
offer live video. The most re-
cent presidential debate was
available from YouTube, live,
for free.
And theres a crucial land-
mark approaching. You see,
theres really no reason why
anyone needs a cable line, a
phone line, and an Internet
connection. All of these things
can be piped into your house
using the same wire (or even
over the air via a 4G connec-
tion).
Soon, IPTV that is, televi-
sion that is streamed from the
Internet will be the rule,
rather than the exception. VOIP
phone calls streamed over the
Internet already is common.
Once all of these technol-
ogies converge, Google will
suddenly find itself in a far
better position than almost
every broadcast network.
All of that being said, I sup-
pose were lucky that one of
Googles core tenants is Dont
be evil.

Last year, YouTube decided to experiment with the production of original con-
tent, and it seems to have been a success its adding a full 60 channels of
original content for major markets in Europe and the United States If you
step back and look at the big picture, the networks should be breaking a sweat.
It may only be a matter of time before were watching
everything on YouTube.

The Second Annual Scranton
Celtic Festival wont be held until
May 18-19, 2013, but Kildares
Irish Pub (119 Jefferson Ave.,
Scranton) is offering a hoppy
taste of next years festivities on
Wednesday, Oct. 10 with a free
concert featuring The Blaggards.
The five-piece Stout Irish
Rock band hails from Houston,
Texas, but singer/guitarist Patrick
Devlin still retains the accent of
his fathers homeland despite
living in the states for many years.
As every 18-year-old knows,
theres not much in the world that
you dont know and you cant do,
so I left home and moved to Bos-
ton. I love the United States. All
my life, I knew I was going to
move back over hereAn island
is just too small for me, so I had
to get away, Devlin explained
during a phone interview while
neck deep in Philly traffic after
playing downtown the night be-
fore.
Boston was too cold, Florida
was too hot, but Texas and its
Mexican food was just right for
Devlin, who formed the Irish-
tinged On the Dole in 1996 before
founding the faster and louder
Blaggards in 2004, playing some-
thing other than the typical Top
40 hits he heard in pubs across
the state.
I was just working in bars and
finding out that there was abso-
lutely nobody doing the tradition-
al Irish music with a little bit of a
rock feel. Flogging Molly and
Dropkick Murphys and that kind
of stuff came along at a later
time, Devlin said.
Starting an Irish band in Texas
may seem unlikely, but for him it
was as easy as telling a little
green lie.
You basically have to tell a lot
of lies. You just have to tell them
that its a lot like everything that
theyve ever played, and once they
figure out its not, its too late -
theyve already learned too many
songs, he said of his bandmates.
Though they are providers of
drinking music, Devlin has been
sober for over 25 years this
doesnt mean he cant invoke the
spirit, however.
Im a bad influence on people.
I get everybody else to drink and
get them to do shots, and then I
just sip coffee and sit back and
watch the fray. Actually right now,
were really a bad representation
of an Irish band because theres
nobody drinking. The guitar and
mandolin player will have a sip of
whiskey or two. Were going to
Ireland next month and theyre
going to be offended, he joked.
This will be the bands third trip
to the Emerald Isle, which he
believes will be a much more
comfortable flight than their first.
It was nerve-wrackingI
remember the first flight we took
going to Dublin. I remember how
nervous I was getting over there,
saying What am I doing? Im
bringing these old Irish songs
back and these Pogues covers and
all this back to Dublin. I said,
Im going to get killed! he
recalled.
Thankfully, they survived the
experience and were received
warmly, which may be due to the
fact that they offer something for
everyone.
Its rock n roll for ADD
people. We have tons of different
melodies and song ideas and little
funny bits in the songs. Well do a
lot more really heavy stuff and
then just out of nowhere become
very, very folky and light and
then back to traditional and over
to metal. Its really hard to map
out where the show or the song is
going to go. Its very spastic,
Devlin noted.
With two albums out and more
material due to be recorded early
next year, The Blaggards blend
originals and covers into each set,
including a unique medley of
Johnny Cashs Folsom Prison
Blues with the popular Irish
anthem The Fields Of Athenry.
I thought it would be kind of
cool that the Irish guy would do
the American song and American
guy would do the Irish song. They
fit so well togetherThats ac-
tually one of our more popular
numbers, Devlin pointed out.
He said hes looking forward to
the free, family-friendly show at
Kildares, which will also feature
two pipers from the Wyoming
Valley Pipe and Drum Band,
dancers from the Gallagher
School of Irish Dance, and fiddler
Patrick Salmon to keep the Celtic
theme going.
Well be back in May for the
Celtic Festival, so itll be nice to
show them what we do and hope-
fully get them excited about com-
ing back to see us, Devlin added.

While the crowd gathered to
see The Glass Prism reunite at
the Scranton Cultural Center on
Oct. 7 had primarily grown up in
the bands heyday of the 60s and
70s, younger generations could
have learned a lot from Sundays
performance.
This was only the fourth time
the band had reunited since their
breakup in 1971, but it was clear
that they had been practicing
consistently since Resurrection,
their latest album of new material
released earlier this year. Playing
for a solid two and a half hours,
the retrospective show, a benefit
for the Northeastern Educational
Intermediate Units Arts Alive
program, was titled Resurrec-
tion: A Rock Opera, though it
was light on the opera and heavy
on the rock.
After a brief introduction by
radio personality Shadoe Steele,
it began with the young Wade
Varano on acoustic guitar joined
by local actor Casey Thomas
playing Edgar Allan Poe, whose
stories served as inspiration for
many of the Prisms songs as well
as the backdrop on stage.
As the program described,
these two characters appeared to
introduce the loose story, but
soon disappeared after the band
moved from the title track into
several of their other original
songs, including The Conqueror
Worm, El Dorado, and Co-
gnac and Roses.
From Elton Johns Take Me to
the Pilot to Creams White
Room, the third scene delved
into cover territory and came out
feeling fresh with new arrange-
ments filtered through their
groundbreaking progressive rock
sound. The fourth scene moved
back into their own territory with
four songs, including A Valen-
tine and Annabel Lee, before
letting their female back-up
singers, Lisa Marie Gurley-
Adalian and Nancy Graziano,
take center stage with The Grass
Roots Temptation Eyes and
Ike and Tina Turners River
Deep, Mountain High, both
showcasing beautifully trained
vocals.
From there, Bob Dylans All
Along the Watchtower gave way
to more new material from the
five band members, while scene
seven became a medley of classic
rock, from You Really Got Me
by The Kinks to Smoke on the
Water by Deep Purple. A classic
drum solo led into Born to Be
Wild by Steppenwolf, followed
by Fire by Jimi Hendrix and
Gimme Some Lovin by The
Spencer Davis Group.
Ending on a high note, the
crowd was treated to the bands
hit single The Raven before
finishing with the Stones
Gimme Shelter as the finale.
While I had previously as-
sumed the operatic story of Poe
described in the program would
be the journey, the expedition
was instead strictly a musical
one, which is not a criticism by
any means.
I could not return to a better
time in music history like many
in the audience could, but I could
easily imagine what it was like
based on the energetic perform-
ances, particularly from guitarist
Tom Varano. In over two hours,
the band stopped only once to fix
a technical problem New
technology gets you every time!
joked guitarist/keyboardist Lou
Cossa otherwise creating a
seamless assortment of psy-
chedelic rock during which most
of the band switched instruments
and vocal duties, giving each
member a chance to shine. Being
backed by females for the first
time, the Prisms sound was even
richer, and their constant dancing
and handclapping added to that
classic 60s feel.
What impressed me most were
the perfect vocal harmonies that
soared over the experienced
musicianship on display, a fea-
ture largely lost on todays rock
bands. On paper, the song choic-
es may seem random, but ar-
ranged as they were, the flow was
steady and consistent. In a mil-
lennium when rock music has
become simpler and poppier, it
was refreshing to hear something
catchy yet complex.
The Glass Prism has expressed
interest in continuing to play
shows like this one for charity.
Lets hope that next time theyll
be playing to an audience who
has yet to experience this influen-
tial age in rock n roll history.

More rock retrospective than opera, The Glass Prism still put on a fantastic show at
the Scranton Cultural Center on Oct. 7.

From Seattle and indie giant
Sub Pop to North Carolina and
major label Columbia, Band of
Horses has traversed indiedom,
graduating to a more deliberate,
brandable category of rock. Un-
der the production of the legend-
ary Glyn Johns (The Who, Ryan
Adams, Eric Clapton) the quintet
delivers a catchy, alt-country LP.
Mirage Rocks sound match-
es the filtered, warmly lit, mossy
rock featured on the Dave Bett
designed cover, which, like all
BOH album art, could easily be a
still from a Wes Anderson film.
The album mellows into the
molds set by folk rock icons
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
Mirage Rock features less
memorable songs than the stand-
outs on previous BOH albums
(The Funeral, Is There a
Ghost, Laredo, etc.). Gritty,
indie-rocking tracks include the
hand-clapping, woo-hooing,
single, Knock Knock, beat-
driven How to Live, effer-
vescent A Little Biblical, tidy
dirt rock anthem Electric Music,
and Feud, which charges
through Cease to Begin terrain
with clanging cymbals, bright
chord progressions, and Brid-
wells blithe tenor.
The ballads feature the down-
home lyrics and molasses sweet-
and-steady instrumentation BOH
fans have come to love. Slow
Cruel Hands of Time and Shut-
In Tourist offer an earnest,
pretty twang while the playfully
dark lyrics and steady tempo of
Long Vows hearken to My
Morning Jacket.
The most indulgent lyrics are
in Heartbreak on the 101, in
which Bridwell whines, I know
its over and it sounds a bit cli-
ch/ But I want you back so bad.
What the song lacks lyrically it
makes up for with a lovely or-
chestral string arrangement.
In Everythings Gonna Be
Undone, Bridwell passes the
reins to guitarist Tyler Ramsey,
who penned the song. Ramsey
takes the melody while Bridwell
harmonizes on this honest,
stomp-rocking jam.
One inarguably great surprise:
Mirage Rocks deluxe edition
includes the Sonic Ranch Studio
Sessions, an EP featuring the title
track.

Top 10 Albums at Gallery of Sound
Hearts Wilson sisters know that hits
are fleeting, and success is ultimately
measured by continued musical integri-
ty. Over the past decade, theyve fol-
lowed their own rules, careening from
hard rock outings like 2004s Jupiters
Darling to the smoothed-out, mid-
tempo mellow hush on 2010s Red
Velvet Car.
Being bona fide rock stars seems
irrelevant for the Wilsons these days as
they continue to push the boundaries of
their decades-long partnership on Fa-
natic.
Ann and Nancy take a bold creative
dive headlong into studio exploration
hints of electronica, hard rock, and folk
all intertwine through a barrage of
drum loops, speaker-rattling overdriven
guitars, and two angelic voices.
Anns pipes still bellow with pure
audacity - look no further than the
war-ravaged soldiers declaration Dear
Old America, with Ann decrying We
dont beg and we dont run, the emo-
tional weight of hope versus doubt on
her tongue.
Long gone are the 80s power bal-
lads, making way for the organic,
acoustic-based grooves that define
tracks like Skin and Bones. Million
Miles, in its synth-programmed atmo-
sphere, echoes U2 in the lush use of
delay and percussive effect. Songwrit-
ing is at a premium, with all tracks
written by the Wilsons with producer
Ben Mink the sisters offering this is
our story as it is now.
A spirit of musical restlessness
drives this album, along with the Wil-
sons refusal to succumb to classic rock
caricature. They successfully reinvent
themselves for a new era of rock n roll
expression.

Heart continues
reinventive rock
Nearly 40 years after first slapping on
the makeup, donning the costumes, and
changing forever the way a live concert is
performed, Kiss can still bring it.
Monster is the caped crusaders 20th
studio album, and one that fans of old
school 70s classic rock will be just as
comfortable with as those who cut their
teeth on later material.
It opens with a bang in Hell or Halle-
lujah, a fast-paced rocker that could be
the bands best concert opener since I
Stole Your Love, way back in 1977
(though they put it in the middle of the set
this summer).
Imagine a mash-up of Helter Skelter
and Kiss 1992 track Spit, and youve
got Wall of Sound, a dramatic, ground-
pounder. Freak uses a grungier dis-
torted sound to showcase the bands long-
standing philosophy of not caring what
anyone else thinks of them. And Back
To The Stone Age features Eric Singers
pounding drums with a beat reminiscent
of the Stones Live With Me.
This is guitarist Tommy Thayers sec-
ond studio album with Kiss since replac-
ing Ace Frehley in 2003 (and completely
stealing his musical identity to the point
where the FBI should have been notified).
His first outing, 2009s Sonic Boom LP,
was marred by rampant theft from Freh-
leys classic solos.
This time, Thayer restrains his most
larcenous impulses. These solos wont
make anyone forget EddieVanHalenor
Randy Rhoads, but at least most of them
are his.
Things bog down somewhat on tracks
in the middle of the disc, but finish strong
on Last Chance, propelled by an AC/
DC-like Thunderstruck chant. This
album isnt Destroyer or even Love
Gun, but its still worth having.

movie review
Liam Neesons strapping, stern
confidence made Taken, a
preposterous, almost patronizing
action movie, intriguing. That is
too much substance for Taken
2, which ups the snapping necks
and shooting-people-at-uncom-
fortably-close-range quotas.
And the masses, surprisingly,
loved it.
This past weekend Taken 2
made $50 million, promising us
at least two more breathtakingly
stupid movies with a father
knows best philosophy fit for a
Greek tragedy and Neeson be-
coming the thinking mans Ste-
ven Seagal.
Taken 2, or as I prefer to call
it, Taken 2: Adultnapped!,
reintroduces us to security expert
and dutiful family man Bryan
Mills (Neeson). Longing for
quality time with daughter Kim
(Maggie Grace) and not-so ex-
wife Lenore (Famke Janssen), he
invites them along to Istanbul,
where hes on assignment.
A group of well-connected,
heavily-armed toughs, still
mourning the friends and family
Bryan killed so creatively three
years ago, interrupts the reconcil-
iation/reunion/convenient plot
device. When Bryan and Lenore
tour the city, theyre abducted,
but not before Bryan contacts
Kim.
The nice wrinkle to Taken 2
is Kims development from vic-
tim to right-hand man. She as-
sists Bryan in his inevitable es-
cape and in tracking down a
helpless Lenore. She speeds
through Istanbuls narrow streets
and throws grenades with Man-
ning-like accuracy. The rest of
the movie doesnt extend the
same creativity, replacing Bryans
hardened determination with
convenience as he saunters
through a series of jumpy, indis-
tinguishable fight scenes.
That laziness means Bryan can
direct Kim on his cell phone
while hes held at gunpoint. That
means his captors have worse
security skills than an elderly
Wal-Mart greeter on Black Fri-
day. That means the bad guys
locate their hideout a short, zippy
drive away from the familys
hotel. Im not saying that Bryan
shouldnt vanquish his foes. But
the movies creative team could
have pretended something was at
risk or provided Bryan with
obstacles to overcome.
Taken drew you in because
Bryan had 72 hours to apply his
particular set of skills to rescue
Kim before she was swallowed
up by the sex slave industry. The
clock is off in Taken 2. So is
Bryans motivation.
The quest to rescue Lenore
carries no consequence because
were not even sure if Bryan
cares about her. Kim is still dad-
dys little girl, the center of his
world a creepy device since
Grace just turned 29. Bryans
revived relationship with Lenore
is primarily defined by sharing a
glass of wine and the news that
shes newly separated, but he
fumes that Kim has a boyfriend.
He practically agonizes over her
driving test.
Whats mystifying about Tak-
en 2, aside from its unintention-
al incestuous overtones, is how
the film earnestly equates vio-
lence and frantic search missions
as ideal solutions for family
togetherness. (The movie actually
ends over ice cream sundaes.) I
long for the next emotionally
condescending installment where
Bryan expresses love for his
brother by rescuing him in Bu-
dapest or settles a friends golf
debt by smashing an illegal cad-
dy operation in Pebble Beach.
It almost makes me wish my
parents were kidnapped by a
group of determined, vengeance-
minded terrorists, forcing me to
kill my way toward a tearful
reunion. Our get-togethers have
been a little draggy lately.

ENTERTAINMENT REPORT
Ralphie Aversa | Special to the Weekender
Wayne Brady didnt get a
chance to watch the first pres-
idential debate between Presi-
dent Barack Obama and
Gov. Mitt Romney. When I
told him about Romneys plan
to cut subsidies for programs
like PBS, I wasnt sure if
Wayne Brady was gonna have
to choke a you get the idea.
As a child of PBS, I really
say that a lot of what I learned
in life as a kid, I learned from
watching PBS, explained
Brady, who called in to The
Ralphie Radio Show to pro-
mote his improv-comedy tour.
You would just think that
someone
who wants
to run this
country
would want
America to
have the
best and
brightest.
While
Brady was
clearly not
pleased with
the gover-
nors stance
on the issue,
the comedi-
an alluded
to an even
greater
problem he
has with the
Romney campaign.
If you take music out of
schools, and then youre going
to try and snatch away PBS -
he wants a nation full of
drones, Brady concluded. I
guess coming from Romney,
that might be apropos.
It didnt surprise me that a
conversation with Wayne Bra-
dy would be wide-ranging
given the variety of work he
has accomplished in his ca-
reer. While maybe best known
for Whose Line Is It Any-
ways? and that infamous
sketch on Chappelle Show,
Brady is also an actor, singer,
and current TV host of the
game show, Lets Make A
Deal.
Even after all these years
Ill get stopped on the streets,
Hey man I love Whose Line
and cmon, you really didnt
make all that stuff up? Tell me
man, Im your buddy, Brady
explained. First off, I just
met you 6.8 seconds ago, so I
probably wont confide in you.
And secondly, yes, its all
improvised.
And yes, people still want
Brady to say, the line the
rhetorical question he asks
while playing himself as a
pimp in a skit on Chappelle
Show when he wonders aloud
if he will have to choke a
prostitute.
It was a funny sketch; its
in the Museum of TV History
as one of the best sketches of
all time so you cant ask for
anything more than that, he
said, while also stating that he
will not repeat the line to a
stranger who approaches him.
Now Im doing something
else. And leave me alone,
while Im in the bathroom.
Im not going to say that
while youre standing next to
me, and Im peeing.

novel approach
Crime tends to be a pretty
cut-and-dry genre. There might
be twists, turns, and many layers
to a story, but in the end, the
answer to Who did it? general-
ly doesnt leave a reader or a
viewer hanging.
In James M. Cains The
Cocktail Waitress, that tried-
and-true formula gets turned on
its head. And even though the
author died before finishing the
novel, leaving editor Charles
Ardai to piece together notes and
unfinished drafts, thats not why
the novel feels open-ended.
Its because Cain, who also
penned Mildred Pierce and
The Postman Always Rings
Twice, gives the reader all the
pieces of the puzzle along with a
supposed outcome but still lets
the reader decide.
Any more information would
give away the ending, so well
leave it at that.
Told from the perspective of
newly widowed Joan Medford,
The Cocktail Waitress could
almost be her twisted coming-of-
age story. Forced to fend for
herself and trying to gain back
custody of her son from her
wretched sister-in-law, Joan takes
a job waitressing, which leads
her to two men who will change
the course of her life. From there,
an intricate web of deceit, greed
and grit is spun.
Though the writing is quick
and makes it an easy read, its
also dated. Howdy Doody is
referenced at least once, and in
the first chapter, Joan wears a
veil to her husbands funeral, a
practice that all but disappeared
with the custom of wearing only
black to funerals.
The way women are treated,
referenced, and portrayed in the
book makes for a literary play-
ground for someone analyzing
feminism or a lack thereof. It
could be seen as insulting to
womankind that Joans choice is
between a man she doesnt love
but who is willing to essentially
buy her and one who made a
drunken, inappropriate pass at
her.
All that aside, however, The
Cocktail Waitress is darkly
compelling and, depending on
how you look at it, makes up for
those injustices eventually.

Expanding on the familiar
format seen at open mic nights
and readings throughout the area,
organizers of Lit Unraveled!
will add a question-and-answer
session to their Scranton event
next week.
Kingston resident Brian Fanel-
li, 28, said the event on Friday,
Oct. 19 at 7 p.m. at The Vintage
(326 Spruce St., Scranton) will
work to break down the creative
process behind some of the areas
most successful wordsmiths.
They (audience members) are
going to walk away with rich
content and rich feedback from
the Q&A. Theyre also going to
be exposed to a variety of writing
genres that night fiction, non-
fiction, and poetry. All of the
creative writing genres, for the
most part, are going to be well
represented that night, Fanelli, a
poet, explained.
Along with Fanelli, the eve-
ning will feature Amye Archer,
playwright of Surviving and
creator of the Scranton-based
reading series Prose in Pubs;
Rich Howells, Weekender staff
writer and award-winning jour-
nalist; poet Dawn Leas, associate
director of the Wilkes University
M.A. / M.F.A. Creative Writing
programs and author of 2010s I
Know When to Keep Quiet; and
Jason Lucarelli, co-founder/co-
host of the New Visions Writers
Showcase.
Fanelli has seen how a simple
discussion like the one set for
next week greatly adds to the
depth of a literary event.
Most of these authors are
published, some in national jour-
nals and some are represented by
literary agents, he said. We
wanted to make it different than
the other literary events here I
think it adds another layer and
makes the authors a lot more
available to the crowd.
Everybody on this reading is
a skilled writer who has read in
public a lot, so theyre going to
give a good performance that
night. I think theyre going to
offer sound advice about the
writing process and trying to get
published, he continued.
The creative writing and En-
glish instructor at Keystone Col-
lege is also the author of the 2010
poetry collection Front Man.
He admits that hes constantly
wielding a pen as part of his
process.
I write every morning, and
even when I have a busy teaching
load, I make sure that I carve out
at least a little bit of time to
write. Before I send anything out
to a journal, I ensure that its as
polished as it can be I also
read every day, he said.
He often shares work with the
various writing groups that he
participates in and with other
trusted voices in the writing
community.
Fanelli plans to share a number
of poems set for publication in
the tentatively titled All That
Remains, which he hopes to
release through Unbound Con-
tent in 2013.
Aspiring authors, Fanelli said,
should attempt to join writing
groups in their community and
attend events like Lit Unravel-
ed! or open mic nights at venues
like Library Express inside the
Mall at Steamtown.

Both of the artists featured in
an exhibit opening at Miser-
icordia University (301 Lake St.,
Dallas) on Oct. 13 agree that
their work is as much about the
process behind it as it is about
the finished pieces themselves.
George Mummert, 42, and
Michael Tymon, 27, of Lancaster
have combined their talents for
Form and Process: Sculpture in
Bronze, Steel, and Stone, a
collection of about 12 pieces that
highlight their individual works
in the mentioned media. Tymons
works will solely be in bronze,
but Mummert will show pieces
that involve all three.
Working in bronze is a natural
transition for Tymon.
I was formally trained in oil
clay, and historically and even
now, the typical medium to trans-
fer that to is bronze, he ex-
plained.
He couples references to the
Italian Renaissance, French Ba-
roque, and French Realism peri-
ods with inspiration from modern
life to create a variety of figures.
I first fell in love with stone
when I was working on a com-
mission at Yale, Mummert said.
There was a quarry nearby, and
we were using some of that stone
in the work. Going to the quarry
and watching people carving was
when I became intrigued by the
stone.
That commission, by the way,
was a 21-foot-tall bronze Toro-
saurus that stands outside the
Peabody Museum at Yale, one of
two installations at the university
he is known for.
Im really in love with the
process as much as I am the final
product. To me, the journey of
creating the piece is sometimes
just as exciting as the final prod-
uct, Mummert continued.
Some of the pieces really say
something about the process just
by looking at the form. You can
see places where metal has been
cut or been formed, and in some
cases that stands out immediate-
ly.
The shared exhibit at Miser-
icordia isnt the only connection
the artists share.
Mummert co-founded the
nonprofit Keystone Art and
Culture Center (420 Pearl St.,
Lancaster) in 2003 to address a
need for a facility to provide
access to artists and a venue for
displaying sculptures. Addition-
ally, Mummert was interested in
giving greater access to the com-
munity about the artistic process,
including work in the on-site
bronze foundry. KACC has func-
tioned as a facility for Tymon
and other artists.
While both said their work
takes time and inspiration, the
method behind them is equally
important.
When you work so much in
this stuff, there is inspiration, but
youre working so much with
your hands that it does become
about the process, Tymon said.
Formal elements like line,
form, and composition share the
spotlight with the artists often
meticulous work.
Built into these pieces, theres
a great deal of learning and ap-
preciation for the process thats
already inside those pieces,
Mummert said.
Both Tymon and Mummert
hope that art enthusiasts who
turn out to their first exhibit in
this region walk away with some
inspiration.
Im excited to see what the
feedback is, Tymon said. W

Infinite Improbability
GEEK CULTURE & MORE
Rich Howells | Weekender Staff Writer
This may start a war more epic
than even Cobra Commander
could conjure, but G.I. Joe is
cooler than Silly Putty, Hot
Wheels, LEGOs, Mr. Potato
Head, and yes, ladies even
your Barbie.
Dont take my word for it the
Childrens Museum of Indi-
anapolis recently held a poll
online asking people to name the
most iconic objects that have
defined American childhood in
the last century. After 24,000
votes, the top five were:
1. G.I. Joe
2. Transformers
3. LEGOs
4. Barbie
5. View-Master
Seriously, the Real American
Hero scored higher than bicy-
cles and crayons. Blocks, balls,
yo-yos, puzzles, and Frisbees
didnt even break the top 20!
What is it about this property that
is so beloved?
Well, for starters, Hasbro (the
Hassenfeld Brothers at the time)
coined the term action figure,
making it OK for boys to play
with dolls because it was Amer-
icas movable fighting man, not
some stuck-up princess who
couldnt even stand up on her
own.
Introduced in 1964, its easy to
see why young kids wanted to be
like their fathers going off to war
and fighting the bad guys, but
with the increasing unpopularity
of Vietnam, Joe became an ad-
venturer who eventually learned
martial arts, gained eagle eyes
and life-like hair, and even added
bionic parts.
Many poll voters, some being
grandfathers remembering their
first parachuting Joe and others
being 20-somethings with mas-
sive collections, posted their
memories along with their votes,
so heres mine.
I was born in 1983, so while I
missed out on the original ver-
sions of the government issued
warrior, I will forever remember
the relaunch, which began in
1982 with 3-inch scale figures, a
Marvel Comics series, and soon
a popular cartoon show that
made G.I. Joe an international
team of soldiers and ninjas bat-
tling Cobra, a terrorist orga-
nization with over-the-top vil-
lains that only science fiction
could create.
It was these would-be world
conquers, like Cobra Command-
er, Destro, Storm Shadow, and
Serpentor, that stuck with me
more than the mostly generic
heroes (with the exception of the
silent ninja, Snake Eyes, of
course). These detailed and pos-
able figures (along with accom-
panying vehicles and playsets)
soon joined the ranks of my
He-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles, and Marvel armies, some
of which I still have. Others were
not so lucky and were lost to the
two-man war that was my little
brothers.
I salute you, you brave, limb-
less souls.
Like any piece of your child-
hood, toys make you nostalgic for
those simpler times, when all that
mattered was where your next
blister packaged character was
coming from. That may be why I
still collect them here and there,
but as I get older, I find it in-
creasingly harder to find these
mass-produced plastic sculptures.
I had video games and even an
early computer growing up, but I
spent many more hours setting
up massive figure battles and
building colossal LEGO castles
than I ever did in front of a
screen. My mother read a lot of
stories to me, and told me many
more when I refused to fall
asleep, so maybe my imagination
was just too wild for the Go
here! Do this! Complete that!
finality of this new technology.
All these characters had ori-
gins in comics, shows, and mo-
vies to start off with, but where
they went next was my choice. I
wonder if newer generations are
missing that.
As toy stores disappear and
figure aisles shrink, all I see is
Americas most cherished hobby
(according to the poll) being
swallowed up in a mass of wires
and controllers.
Even G.I. Joe has become a
mess of failed cartoon relaunches
and a live-action movie so bad
that its sequel was pulled from
release before it even hit theaters
to be reworked for next year, the
only notable exception being the
current IDW Publishing comic
series.
I hate to say it, Hasbro, but it
may be too late to grab the atten-
tion of ADD children fighting
much bloodier wars online. G.I.
Joe clearly still has a Kung-Fu
grip on its adult fans, however, so
remember us fondly the next
time you slap the name on some
new ploy.
We obviously remember you.
W
Great toys are the
other half of the battle
Despite bad live-action movies and countless cartoon
reboots, G.I. Joe clearly lives on in the memories of
many as a great toy.

Fitness
My last column highlighted
some major tips regarding fat
loss. If youve been following
me, then you know I cut through
all the red tape pertaining to
losing unwanted body fat. I dont
think the world needs another
gimmicky fitness product or
weight loss plan. I also dont
think it needs another fad diet or
fad exercise class.
Marketing often misleads us
on the BEST approaches. My job
is to dispel all of those myths and
give it to you straight.
After all, you deserve real
information.
If the information is out there,
why then, are we Americans, still
obese? Why do people who go to
the gym for years still look the
same from day one? The cop out
responses I usually get are some-
thing along the lines of, at least
Im not gaining weight or I
dont have the time to workout
for an hour a day, or prepare my
food.
If you finally want to lose the
fat and are committed to look
and feel great, perfect. Now, lets
get you there.
So what is the biggest fat loss
secret? Success comes with the
realization that there is no magic
pill or no magic class. The ellip-
tical is not the answer, and nei-
ther is cycling class. And the
blessed treadmill get off of it.
Its not protein shakes, grape-
fruits, detoxes or cleansers either.
Say goodbye to the abductor/
adductor machines and aerobics
classes.
Here is what I truly believe is
the biggest weight loss secret. It
is setting a deadline and having
something riding on it.
Not buying it? Studies have
shown that people who have a
reason to succeed will reach their
goal compared to those who
dont have a reason to train.
Without a deadline, its easier to
skip workouts or veer off your
nutritional plan.
Think about it. Athletes suc-
ceed because they have some-
thing riding on it, a potential
million dollar contract. Models
also succeed because they are
trying to land the cover shot. If
those things arent motivating,
nothing is.
Do what Christie did. Set a
deadline. What worked for Chris-
tie was setting a date to enter her
first figure competition which
will be this Saturday in Pough-
keepsie, N.Y. Three months ago,
Christie set the date. Three
months of hard work gave her the
body of her dreams. She did it,
and so can you.
Set a goal. Set a deadline.
Reward yourself for achieving it,
and penalize yourself for not. I
have set up reward systems for
many of my clients and I can set
one up for you. For more in-
formation contact me at Lev-
erageFitnessStudio.com or call
570.338.3286.

Special to the Weekender
As Christie proves, the key to weight loss isnt in magic
pills or protein shakes but in setting a deadline and
meeting it.

Is the beer before liquor,
never sicker thing true? Id like
to drink responsibly and also
avoid feeling awful in the morn-
ing. I know youre a bartender, so
any advice?
- Trying Not to Get Wasted in
Wilkes-Barre
Dear Trying Not to Get
Wasted,
Kudos to you, partying respon-
sibly! We all love a good party
but hate the walk of shame and/
or worshiping the porcelain god.
So, yes, I will give you my very
best bartender advice.
From my experience, beer
before liquor is a myth. Mixing
of any kind is not advised. Ex-
cepting long explanations, mix-
ing = bad. Either stick with one
type of liquor all evening or one
type of beer or wine.
Remember that all alcoholic
drinks are made differently and
they all affect everyone differ-
ently.
Something most people dont
realize is the effect carbonation
has on the absorption of alcohol.
The pressure from the carbon-
ation in your stomach actually
forces the alcohol into your sys-
tem faster. Having beer after
liquor to slow down is only
adding fuel to the fire. This also
explains the myth of becoming
sick from beer before liquor.
When you fill your system with
carbonated beer and add alcohol
on top, the liquor is absorbed
faster and your body rejects it to
avoid alcohol poisoning.
As far as avoiding the morning
after hangover, hydration is key.
Alternating alcoholic and non-
alcoholic beverages while drink-
ing not only paces you and keeps
you from drinking too quickly,
but most of the time, that morn-
ing headache is due to dehydra-
tion. Alcohol, although a fluid,
actually dehydrates your body. So
its good to remember slow and
steady wins the race. Water,
before, during, and especially
before you go to bed will ensure
you are well hydrated.
As with all drugs, alcohol
consumption can be a slippery
slope. This advice is just a
scratch on the surface of respon-
sible alcohol consumption, and
if you really are looking to be as
safe as possible, I do recommend
researching the topic further. In
my line of work Ive seen the
good, bad, and the ugly. Moder-
ation is key.
Party on!
Dear Stella,
Is wearing white after Labor
Day really such a sin? Im a bit
of a fashion victim or so my
friends seem to think. I seem to
have trouble with such things as
patterns and the use of color. I do
want to look my best but I also
want to be comfortable and Im
on a budget. Any thoughts?
-Walmart Fashionista
Dear Fashionista,
Id like to tell you to wear what
you like and just go for comfort.
Unfortunately in todays society,
you are what you wear. With that
being said, here are my suggesti-
ons.
White after Labor day is be-
coming more acceptable and is
better than wearing clothing that
doesnt match or that doesnt
quite fit right. Beware of colors
that clash or dont match, like
pink and red, or black and brown.
If youre going to wear pat-
terns, try and stick to just one. If
you think its too busy, it prob-
ably is.
If youre looking to step up
your wardrobe on a budget, sec-
ond hand is the way to go! Im a
firm believer that paying top
dollar for a label or brand name
is a waste of money, and you
dont always get what you pay
for.
You can find some real quality
at your local thrift store if you
have the time to look. Just be
sure you thoroughly inspect what
youre buying before you pur-
chase and as with any new cloth-
ing, wash it before you wear it.
Remember it is second hand and
you dont want to end up wearing
someones stained and tattered
hand-me-downs.
Size matters! Just because it
stretches, it doesnt mean it fits!
Finally, comfort is important.
No matter how good you look in
it, if youre uncomfortable, itll
show. Wear what makes you feel
good about yourself.
Happy shopping!

VIDEO GAME REVIEWS
Robbie Vanderveken | Special to the Weekender
Usually having worms is a bad
thing, unless you are talking
about Worms Revolution. Then
its a hilarious good time.
The Worms series has been
around for 17 years with several
different iterations, and after all
this time the wacky and fun
gameplay has not only held up to
the test of time, it has gotten
better.
If you missed worms in the
late 90s, you may be asking why
I would want to play a game
about worms. For the same rea-
son people play a game about
angry birds its comical,
accessible, quick, and just plain
addictive.
One of the big reasons I have
always been a fan of this series is
the silly premise. You get a team
of these cute little worms that is
placed on a randomly generated
battlefield where they use their
wild arsenal of weapons to de-
stroy each other in hilarious
ways.
The gameplay is turn-based;
each worm has a short amount of
time to move, select a weapon,
and attempt to take out a member
of the other team. On paper it
sounds boring, but these games
are a laugh riot.
The things that make the game
for me are the bright and colorful
visuals, the silly things the
worms say, and without a doubt
the crazy weapons you get to use.
What other game can you play
where you get to blow up your
friends with exploding sheep, old
ladies, worms with jetpacks that
can drop sticks of dynamite,
napalm strikes, nukes, banana
bombs, worm ninjas, and my
personal favorite, the holy hand
grenade from Monty Python
and the Holy Grail?
I havent played a Worms
game since Worms Armaged-
don in 1999, and there have
been a ton of new features and
upgrades since then.
First and foremost for me is
the addition of online multi-
player; now you can blast the
crap out of friends online, com-
plete training missions, and even
customize your weapon load-
outs, outfits, and even voices.
Multiplayer also offers several
fun game modes like Death-
match, Forts, and Classic. These
modes can be played locally with
friends, or you can play with up
to four people online.
If the addition to online mul-
tiplayer is not enough, Revolu-
tion has more dynamic battle-
fields with physical items that
can be strategically manipulated.
The backgrounds can even act
more like a weapon than ever
before; you can now blast water
pockets and fill the map with
water, drowning your enemies.
There are even destructible ob-
jects that release poison and
other dangerous things.
In previous installments of
Worms, each of the worms
looked and behaved the same.
Revolution differs with the
addition of character classes. The
basic worm is now called a Sol-
dier, and there is also the Scout,
Scientist, and Heavy.
Soldiers are agile and can
easily move around with things
like jetpacks and ninja ropes.
Heavies are the exact opposite;
they move slowly but can deal a
lot more damage. Scientists give
the rest of the team support by
giving health and using tools like
turrets, magnets, and much more.
I think the class that was the
most fun to play was the Scout.
They are the most agile and can
get in good positions to really do
some damage. Having the new
classes gives Revolution addi-
tional variety and replayability.
Worms Revolution is defi-
nitely not going to change the
way we play games, but if you
are looking for a silly game to
pass the time with friends, you
should check it out. You will get
a lengthy game experience with
32 levels, more than 20 puzzle
levels, and hours of great mul-
tiplayer for the low price of
$9.99.
It sure beats taking a super
sheep to the face.

Tips
from a
barbie chick
FASHION TIPS & MORE
Janelle Engle | Special to the Weekender
One of my favorite things
about fashion is it is a lot like
playing dress up when you were
a little kid. You can wake up one
morning and decide to put on a
completely different persona for
the day, a personality completely
opposite of your own without
really changing anything but
what you wear.
Your personal style is the
message you send to the rest of
the world and it is you who de-
cides what to say, so why repeat
the same sentence over and over?
Scissorcandy is a hair show
featuring the unique styles of
talented hair stylists all over the
world. They held their show in
Philadelphia this year and spe-
cialize in insane hairdos and
going over the top with their
themes.
This year was no different.
The theme was Mod versus
Rocker, and with visions of the
possible crazy hairdos and dress-
up outfits Id get to wear, how
could I refuse to be a part of it?
While I was backstage, I got to
share a few secrets of what it
takes to create a whole new look.
Whether youll be inspired to
put these pieces in your wardrobe
because you want to play dress
up for the day or maybe are al-
ready looking ahead to that ideal
Halloween costume, listen up,
because heres what it takes to
transform into either a Rocker or
Mod.
A Rocker is the easier of the
two since everybodys familiar
with leather jackets, spiked col-
lars, and Hells Angels. While
black on black is an easy way to
create this look, feel free to mix
it up with some lighter shades.
Its more of girly meets grunge.
Pairing a soft button up blouse
and pearls with something partic-
ularly punk and edgy takes things
to the next level. The shoes are
important, too. A lot of girls
backstage had to abandon their
dainty high heels for some edgy
wedges or combat boots instead.
Its the littlest details that count
and complete the look.
The Mod era of the 1960s most
popularized by the model Twig-
gy. It was all about being bold,
but never used dark colors to
express itself. Think bright neon
colors, obnoxious prints and
patterns, and never wearing
pants. Mod very much preferred
bare legged looks or outfits with
contrasting color tights under-
neath their short A-line dresses.
In particular, oversized acces-
sories seem to be the most im-
portant. Keep the dresses short,
the boots high, and the earrings
large. Thats simply Mod.
In the end, its about the atti-
tude you have. Play dress up for
the day and be whoever you want
to be. After all, if it doesnt work
out, you can always change it up
tomorrow.
W
Its easy to try out a new style each day, be it mod,
rocker, or whatever youre comfortable with.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
When a fly gets caught in a spider web,
its mostly snared by its own stupidity. If it
had the sense to just keep still a moment,
check out its situation and carefully extri-
cate itself, it would have a better chance of
getting free. But instead it struggles, inevi-
tably tangling itself further and attracting
the attention of the spider itself. Im not
criticizing an insects intelligence; it is
what it is. But when you find yourself
caught on one or two delicate, sticky fil-
aments of trouble this week, dont freak
out and start flailing around. Stay calm, be
resourceful and use the sharpest edge I
know ofyour brainto cut yourself
loose.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
The house of candy had lured many
children to their doom already, until those
infernal brats, Hansel and Gretel, came to
visit. Skinny little things, they begrudged
a witch her supper. Her cataracts prevent-
ed her from uncovering their deception as
they proffered discarded finger bones for
measurementsomehow they defied her
fat-filled cooking. But the witchs fatal
mistake occurred when she believed the
children to be more stupid than they were.
As a result, they roasted her alive. This
week, dont let all your hard workthe
gingerbread house, the weeks of fattening
the childrenget thrown into the oven,
along with yourself, by a minor oversight.
Be sure youve got your windowsills sug-
ar-frosted, loose licorice tied up, and all
cages securely locked.
SAGITTARIUS
(NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Picture the moment when the ant finally
submits to its not-so-spontaneous combus-
tion under a magnifying glass. Be im-
pressed with the voracious wall of flame
that runs marathons across a forest, sprint-
ing with long glowing legs. Theres a
certain element of darkness to the searing
power of fire. But as your personal energy
concentrates and intensifieslike sunlight
through a lensit doesnt need to destroy
or consume to show its power. It can
warm, cook, entertain, illuminate, or pro-
tect. Please practice this mostly benevolent
side of yourself. This week, shine without
burning anyone or anything.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
I read of one womans peculiar predica-
ment: separating her two dogs from their
meal. They were alternately eating and
sleeping inside an enormous elk carcass
that had ended up on her lawn. How could
she get her hounds out of their meal?
Hosing them didnt work; in fact they
seemed grateful for the cooling offit
must get hot inside a flesh-covered rib
cage on a sunny day. You might be faced
with a similar dilemma this week, where it
seems the only immediately viable solu-
tion is to just climb right inside your prob-
lem, icky s--t and all, and pull what you
need right out of the bloody mess.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Last night I dreamt you were confined
to a room until youd spun whole bales of
hay into gold. You learned quickly, and
soon produced spools of shining thread.
Unfortunately, you were disappointed to
discover that it was weak and inflexible, if
pretty. Refining your system, you devel-
oped a much stronger, more versatile
threadin an unspectacular shade of
brown. When reviewing your fine hand-
iwork, the evaluators found it wanting; it
wasnt gold, not even close. The moral:
give them what they ask for. Your way
may be better, cleaner, faster, more envi-
ronmentally sound, healthier, more effi-
cient, more politically correct, but if
theyre not asking for it, theyre not buying
it. So what? Give yourself a break and let
them suffer.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
An old friend of mine got accosted by a
wigmaker on the streets of New York and
offered two grand for her long, wavy red
hair. She was flustered and suddenly had
to reevaluate something shed taken for
granted, in light of the huge wad of cash
shed done virtually nothing to earn. In her
case, she refused, suddenly treasuring this
part of herself shed often ignored or re-
sented. When youre offered a bonus this
week for some aspect of simply being
yourself, I hopewhether you take ad-
vantage of the offer or notthat youll
teach yourself a thing or two about how
much youre really worth.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
Invite the monsters under your bed out
for a drink. Get them tipsy and pick their
brains. Whats the secret behind your
greatest, most successful anxieties? Do
they thrive on freaking you out? Or is it
simply because you sanction their exist-
ence by refusing to conceive of a life
without fears? This is a good week to give
lurking terrors that haunt you the boot;
cast them out and dont look back. Give
the underside of your bed a good sweeping
out, then invite some friendlier monsters
in to live, ones thatll remind you of all the
ways youre nourished and safe, not fright-
ened or troubled.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
On one shoulder lolls a horny red devil,
counseling you to not resist temptation, to
succumb to your most perverse desires.
On the other perches a tediously trite but
strangely compelling little angel, advising
you to do the righteous thing. Brush them
off like a bad dandruff problem. The
worlds more complicated than the view-
points of unimaginative purists out of a
cartoon reality. Hard-and-fast rules are for
suckers; I prefer exceptions. Let me tell
you a secret: there are a few of us out
there whove learned how to wear horns
and wings, to be horny and holy. Theres a
way to satisfy your longings while doing
the right thing. Find it.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
Every teachers primary goal should be
to make herself obsolete. Instead of mere-
ly imparting rote, one-sided information
of limited use, each instructor should
teach his students to find facts, read be-
tween the lines, question; ultimately, to
learn and think for themselves instead of
habitually taking others words at face
value. You rarely (if ever) allow anyone
else to tell you what to thinkin fact,
youll often present your opinion as fact!
This week, encourage others to formulate
their own opinions based on the most
complete information (from as many
perspectives as possible) available. If you
cant do that, at least be up-front about
being a tight-ass when it comes to original
thoughtat least when it differs from your
own.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
Youve got flower stems clogging your
gun barrels, sugar in your gas tank, and
love letters instead of dollar bills fill your
wallet. All of this may be terribly inconve-
nient, but I doubt youll mind. When
youre feeling this good, its hard to resent
the fact that you seem unable to vent your
aggressions, go anyplace, or spend any
money. Enjoy it, Cancer. Consider it a
cosmic birthday present. Your obstacles
have rarely been more pleasant. If anyone
gives you s--t for being a bit on the lazy
side this week, tell them its not apathy; its
bliss.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
One of your lesser-known magical pow-
ers is the ability to mature gracefully.
Although you lack the ability to age back-
wards (like those tricky Capricorns) you
wear the occasional silver hair or wrinkle
with compelling dignity and charm. Some
of you even get sexier as you get older.
But undue focus on your outward appear-
ance can only eclipse an even more power-
ful Leonine secret: Leos get wiser with
age. (Not everyone does.) Theres more,
though: Your wisdom is eminently practi-
cal, not abstract or academic. For instance,
now that youre suddenly sexy enough to
catch the eye of that previously apathetic
crush, youre also wise enough to know
whether to bother, and better able to make
it work if you do.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
Youre going to offend, hurt, or other-
wise annoy a certain percentage of people
no matter what you do. Even if you go out
of your way to be helpful, humble and
nice, some people will despise you for it.
Theres simply no pleasing everyone. You
know this. Yet you sometimes persist in
censoring yourself because youre scared
some people wont like you. Since theres
always going to be someone who hates
you no matter which side of the fence you
land on, why not do what you really want?
Try it this week. I think youll find that
speaking your mind is a lot more fun than
biting your tongue.

A 20-SOMETHINGS WILD ADVENTURES
Justin Brown | Weekender Correspondent
At some point every man
will experience the aftermath
of hooking up with a girl
who is bat s--t crazy.
When it happens to you, it
sucks big floppy donkey
d--k. When it happens to a
friend of yours, you sit back
and enjoy the show.
That 27-year-old I got
with earlier this summer is
coming back as a guest this
weekend because she wants
to hook up again, my friend
Joel, who Im working at a
resort with, told me one
morning.
Later that night, Joel point-
ed her out to me. Even with
dimmed lighting, I could tell
there was no possibility she
was 27.
I then went on a mission to
discover her real age, striking
up a conversation with her
hoping to get the truth.
She explained that her
friend backed out last min-
ute, but she still came as a
treat to herself for just turn-
ing 37. I knew it!
After discovering her age, I
tried exiting the conversation,
but she kept talking my ear
off about how she really
needed an escape for the
weekend because her teenage
son is gay and in special ed
and has a lot of needs. Who
says that?
Your girl is a hot mess! I
told Joel the next morning.
Later that night Gina ran
up to me. Wasted.
I cant believe you told
Joel my real age! she
screamed. I still f--ked him
this afternoon, though. Dont
be mad at me for it. I told
him to still let you suck his
d--k!
What? Youre bipolar! I
shouted back.
Please dont tell Joel I
said we had sex. He was
supposed to be working when
we did it, she cried as I
tried leaving.
We wont say a word if
you show us your t-ts!
blackmailed my friend Chris,
who was about to drive me
back to my room on a golf
cart.
Maybe, she giggled.
Forget you, I said.
Move over before I run
over your feet with this golf
cart, added Chris.
She chased us as we drove
away, screaming Dont tell
Joel.
We told Joel.
The next day at lunch,
when the staff handed out
silly awards to guests, we
gave Gina the Friendliest to
the Staff Award for getting
with Joel. It was a walk of
shame with a round of ap-
plause.
W
There's
something
about Gina
Justin got a good laugh
from a friends bat s--t
crazy hookup this week.

RIDE OF THE WEEK
Michael Golubiewski | Special to the Weekender
To submit your vehicle,

1971
CHEVROLET CHEVELLE
Owner:
Dave Garinger
Pittston
This car was built by Northeast Auto Body on
Suscon Road in PittstonTownship, Garinger said.
They put countless hours into the body work on
this car to get perfect body lines and a fawlessly
straight body, and the show stopping Hugger Orange
paint from PPG makes it very hard for this car not to
draw peoples attention.
The Chevelle has a 350 cubic inch engine under
the hood with a six-speed manual transmission
along with ladder bar traction for the rear.
I could not be happier with the outcome from
where this car started. It was very fun to drive. W W
