I started the rst week of October
I have a lot of people to shop
for.
Not sure ... let me ask Bridget. The week before. About two weeks before
Christmas I like the rush.
Christmas in July on QVC. I start thinking of gift ideas in
October but usually wait until like
the week before Christmas to buy
everything.
The week before Christmas. Im
a procrastinator.
Usually not until early December.
I need to feel the holiday spirit.
Far too late, something I vow to
change every year.
When do you start your
Christmas shopping?
Letter from the editor
Is it May
yet? No, not
because Im
kvetching
about the
schizophrenic
weather (we
do live in
Northeastern
Pennsylvania,
after all), but
because I
cant wait to
see The
Avengers.
Nerd alert,
I know, but after seeing
Captain America: The First
Avenger for the second
time this past weekend and
its cousins Thor and Iron
Man 2, too, I admit, Im a
bit obsessed.
The movies premise is
that Captain America, Thor,
Iron Man and Hulk are
recruited by Samuel L. Jack-
sons Nick Fury to save the
world from the brink of
disaster.
Despite the inclusion of
Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk,
an actor I really think is a
strike against the film, I
cant wait to see how these
characters will all interact
together. Guess Ill find out
May 4. Sigh.
Now that Ive got that off
my chest, on to this weeks
issue!
Bracken Theatre Company
returns to the
spotlight for
the first time
in several
years with its
production of
the dark and
twisted Pri-
vate Eyes.
Read more
on pgs. 14-
15.
In The
Ralphie Re-
port (p. 26),
Ralphie Aver-
sa chatted with comedian
Dana Carvey about the not-
at-all-surprising Kim Kar-
dashian/Kris Humphries di-
vorce and Carvey even
revisited his old character,
George Herbert Walker
Bush, to talk about the Tex-
as Rangers losing the World
Series. Reading his com-
ments made me laugh
and miss the good old days
of Saturday Night Live.
Our correspondent Ryan
OMalley talked with Fur-
thurs Bob Weir about the
bands new members, its
new material and more.
Check that story out on p.
30.
Thats all for now, so start
turning pages, and, as al-
ways, thanks for reading!

LOS ANGELES So, Kim
Kardashians 72-day sprint from
wedded bliss to divorce papers
must amount to the shortest
celebrity marriage ever, right?
Wrong! As a matter of fact,
Miss Ks marriage to basketball
star Kris Humphries which,
in one of the least-surprising
news stories of the year, began
its slow journey to Splitsville on
Monday doesnt even crack
the Top 10 of shortest celeb
pairings. To be a champion in
this category, you have to be
fast. Were talking major speed.
Seriously, folks, your marriage
has to last about as long as a
Keeping Up With the Kar-
dashians marathon on E!. (Let
it be noted: All eight of El-
izabeth Taylors storied marriag-
es lasted longer than Kardash-
ians. So did Mickey Rooneys.
People just did things differently
back then.)
Among the hall of famers in
connubial quickies:
Comedy star Eddie Murphy
and Babyfaces ex Tracey Ed-
monds: 15 days (although they
later claimed the wedding was
never official).
Saved by the Bell star
Mario Lopez and Doritos girl
Ali Landry: 13 days.
Tattooed basketball star
Dennis Rodman and 1990s relic
Carmen Electra: Nine days.
Eternal show woman Cher
and naughty bluesman Gregg
Allman: Nine days.
Blue Velvet star Dennis
Hopper and ex-Mamas and the
Papas singer Michelle Phillips:
Eight days.
Tortured pop tart Britney
Spears and childhood pal Jason
Alexander: Three days.
And the prize goes to ...
1980s hot mess Robin Giv-
ens and tennis pro Svetozar
Marinkovic: Seven minutes!
(Thats how long Marinkovic
said it lasted until they officially
separated). W
Kim's
short-lived
marriage
doesn't make
the list
Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian, above, only stuck
to their vows for 72 days, but Robin Givens, below,
holds the record for shortest celebrity marriage.

FOREIGNAFFAIRS
SaddamHussein Back in the
News: (1) Mohamed Bishr, an
Egyptian man bearing a remarka-
ble resemblance to the late Iraqi
dictator, claimed in October that he
had been briefly kidnapped after
spurning an offer to portray Sad-
damin a porn video. Bishrs adult
sons told the al-Ahramnewspaper
in Alexandria that their father had
been offered the equivalent of
$330,000. (In 2002, according to a
2010 Washington Post report, the
CIAbriefly contemplated using a
Saddamimpersonator in a porn
video as a tool to publicly embar-
rass Saddaminto relinquishing
power prior to the U.S. invasion.)
(2) In October, former British
soldier Nigel Ely offered at auction
in Derby, England, a two-foot-
square piece of metal that he said
came fromthe iconic Baghdad
statue of Saddamtoppled by U.S.
Marines in April 2003. Ely said he
had grabbed the piece indiscrimi-
nately, but remembers that it was a
portion of Saddams buttocks.
CANTPOSSIBLYBETRUE
-- Apparently, officials at the
Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport
felt the need for professional guid-
ance on rebranding their facility to
(as one put it) carry it into the
modern era, and so hired the
creative talents of Big Communi-
cations of Birmingham, Ala., to
help. Bigs suggested name for the
airport, announced to great fanfare
in September: Chattanooga Air-
port.
-- Elsie Pawlow, a senior citizen
of Edmonton, Alberta, filed a
$100,000 lawsuit in September
against Kraft Canada Inc., parent
company of the makers of Stride
Gum, which brags that it is ridicu-
lously long-lasting. Pawlowcom-
plained that she had to scrub down
her dentures after using Stride, to
dig out specks of guma
condition that caused her to experi-
ence depression for approximately
10 minutes.
-- Names in the News: The man
stabbed to death in Calgary, Alber-
ta, in August: The 29-year-old Mr.
Brent Stabbed Last. Among the
family members of Jared Loughner
(the man charged with shooting
U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in
January) who were interviewed by
authorities regarding mental ill-
nesses in the Loughner family:
Loughners distant cousin Judy
Wackt. Passed away in May in
Fredericksburg, Va.: retired Army
Sgt. Harry Palm. Charged with
murder in Decatur, Ill., in Septem-
ber: a (predictably underrespected)
15-year-old boy named Shitavious
Cook.
-- Hey, It Couldve Happened:
(1) The British recreation firmUK
Paintball announced in August that
a female customer had been in-
jured after a paintball shot hit her in
the chest, causing her silicone
breast implant to explode. The
company recommended that paint-
ball facilities supply better chest
protection for women with im-
plants. (2) The Moscow, Russia,
newspaper Moskovsky Kom-
somolets reported in October that a
local womans life had been saved
by her state-of-the-art silicone
breast implant. Her husband had
stabbed her repeatedly in the chest
during a domestic argument, but
the implants gel supposedly de-
flected the blade.
ULTIMATECATFIGHTING
(1) In Charlotte, N.C., in Octo-
ber, a female motorist was arrested
for ramming another womans car
after that woman said Good
morning to the motorists boy-
friend as the women dropped kids
off at school. (2) In Arbutus, Md.,
in October, a woman was arrested
for throwing bleach and disin-
fectant at another woman in a
Wal-Mart (an incident in which at
least 19 bystanders sought medical
assistance). Police learned that the
arrestees childs father had become
the boyfriend of the bleach-targeted
woman.
UNCLEARONTHECONCEPT
-- The thief who made off with
the valuable lamp fromSt. Patricks
Catholic Church in Winson Green,
England, in October might well
return to the building soon, for
confession. Clearly visible on the
surveillance video inside was the
man, as he was just about to snatch
up the lamp, making the sign of the
cross.
-- Sally Stricker was angry that
the Nebraska troopers patrolling
the state fair grounds in September
had told her that she had an ille-
gal message on her T-shirt and
that if she wished to remain at the
fair, she would have to either
change shirts or wear hers inside
out. The message was a marijua-
na leaf with the slogan Dont
panic, Its organic. Stricker was at
the fair to attend the nights live
concert starring (marijuana-
friendly) Willie Nelson.
-- Boise State Universitys highly
rated football teamsuspended three
players for several games at the
beginning of the season for vio-
lating eligibility rules by receiving
impermissible financial benefits.
According to an October news
release by the school, the most
prominent player sanctioned was
Geraldo Boldewijn, the teams
fastest wide receiver, who had
improperly received the use of a
car. (However, it was a1990 Toyota
Camry with177,000 miles on it.)
MIXEDEVIDENCEON
SMOKING
(1) Its Bad for You: A44-year-
old woman was hospitalized with a
head injury and a broken clavicle in
September after she inadvertently
walked into a still-moving train at
the NeedhamCenter station near
Boston. Her attention had been
diverted because she was trying to
light her cigarette as she walked.
(2) Sometimes, Its OK: A51-year-
old woman told police she fought
off an attempted street robbery in
Pennsville Township, N.J., in Octo-
ber by burning the age-20-some-
thing assailant with her lit cigarette.
She said the man yelled Ouch
and ran away.

Breathing life back into Bracken
By Stephanie DeBalko
Weekender Staff Writer
W
hen the Brack-
en Theatre
Company lost
its building,
the Showcase Theater in
Exeter, in the spring of 2007,
a series of legal and techni-
cal disputes with the landlord
made for some contentious
situations. The buildings
owner wanted to sell before
the theater companys lease
was up, and he tried to force
them to vacate early while
threatening to sue if they
didnt.
For Kelly Clisham, the
companys president, that
ordeal put a damper on the
theater experience.
I just needed to pull back
a little bit because theater
is a business, in a very real
sense, she said. If youre
whenever a show pops up
that someones passionate
about, usually thats kind of
what kicks things into gear
again.
Clisham and Nordstrom
agreed that, in addition to
losing their home base, many
of the members hung back
because life, with kids and
full-time jobs, simply got in
the way.
But this month, the show
that will kick things into
gear again for Bracken will
be Steven Dietzs Private
Eyes, which will be per-
formed for one weekend
only, Thursday, Nov. 3
through Sunday, Nov. 6, at
the Phoenix Performing Arts
Center in Duryea.
A DARK
INTERPRETATION

Private Eyes was

written by Dietz in
1996 and centers
around a husband and
wife who are rehearsing a
play with a director who sets
his sights on the wife. Apri-
vate investigator, who turns
out to be more than what
she seems, and a therapist
also come into the mix. The
theme of deception is strong
throughout the entire show,
and the truth and the real-
ity of the situation are never
entirely clear to the audience.
I got done reading it,
and I was like, Wow,
this is a really, really
messed up play. I saw
it as very dark and
kind of twisted.
Private Eyes Director Joe DeMuro
not making money and put-
ting butts in the seats and
paying the rent, youre not
existing. But at the same
time, for all of us who do it,
its a passion, and it has to be
a passion or theres no reason
to do it. Youre not getting
paid.
So I really felt myself
getting sucked into that busi-
ness end and getting kind of
consumed by that and losing
the passion, so I think I really
needed to step back so that
didnt happen completely.
Although it may have
seemed to some that Bracken
disappeared after that, es-
pecially since it hasnt been
behind a show since about
2009, the company never
actually disbanded.
Typically, Bracken is a
directors medium, and so
directors can bring their
shows to the group and
sort of ask for the group to
produce them, explained
Alicia Nordstrom, a member
of the companys board. I
dont know if Bracken ever
ofcially went on hiatus, but
I think we just didnt have
a lot of directors bringing
their shows to the group. So,
From left, Alicia Nordstrom, Joe DeMuro, Jonathan Maier, Eric Lutz and KimWrazien, the cast of BrackenTheatre Companys production of Private Eyes.

I came across the Pri-
vate Eyes script last year,
Nordstrom, who portrays the
wife, Lisa, said. Its been
a year and a half, almost, in
the making. And I was just
so passionate about the show,
and I love the script, and it
hadnt been done in this area
for a very long time.
The show was intended as
a comedy of suspicion, but
when Joe DeMuro signed on
as director with Nord-
strom and Kim Wrazien, who
plays the part of Cory, acting
as assistant directors and
read the script for himself,
thats not quite what he gar-
nered from it.
When I read it, I didnt do
any research into it, he said.
I didnt want to be swayed.
So I just read the script. I got
done reading it, and I was
like, Wow, this is a really,
really messed up play. I saw
it as very dark and kind of
twisted.
The script has storylines
that sometimes only make
sense after the fact, if at all.
Its a complex undertaking,
and for DeMuro, who is also
portraying the husband, Mat-
thew, that made it more of a
challenge.
It should make sense on
all the levels, he said. And
that was the hardest part, I
think, because the way its
written, it is very compli-
cated. Probably by the fth
time I read it, I was still
picking up little subtleties or
weird connections on what
was going on. So thats the
biggest challenge because
you also dont want to spoon
feed your audience, because
you want to allow them to
discover it. That makes it
more fun.
REBUILDING
REPUTATION
T
he play, with its
unorthodox format
and adult issues, is
in sync with what
Bracken is known for.
One (goal) of Bracken is
to really bring shows that are
not done very often here, to
really bring new works to the
area, Nordstrom said. And
its not for the sake of being
unconventional, its just for
the sake of getting new works
that are not the typical stuff.
Clisham noted that not hav-
ing a space of their own now
is a blessing and a curse.
Because Bracken doesnt
have a mortgage and other
bills to pay, it can simply go
at its own pace, picking and
choosing shows without wor-
rying about making enough
money for upkeep. However,
it also has to deal with the
work of nding a theater to
perform in, something that
becomes more of an issue
when the nature of most of
Brackens productions comes
into play. That is also the
primary reason why Private
Eyes will run for only one
weekend.
I think we got a little bit
spoiled by having that space,
in a way, because we could
do what we wanted, she
said. We tend to do sort of
different stuff, weve never
shied away from kind of
adult themes or adult lan-
guage. So now weve talked
to some people about going
into the space, and theyll
say, Well, you know, were
not really comfortable with
that script, which is totally
within their rights. But at the
same time, I dont think any
of us want to sacrice what
we want to do in order to t
into a space.
Though Bracken never
truly split up, since this show
will be the rst in a few
years, Nordstrom noted that
she hopes it gets things going
again.
I hope that this is actually
a revival of Bracken, she
stated. I have scripts already
that are waiting in the wings,
so I hope that with Private
Eyes will come some other
stuff, not too far away.
Clisham agreed.
I think theater is such a
hard draw right now any-
way, she said. Theres so
much going on with the arena
and different clubs and mov-
ies, and people have a limited
number of entertainment
dollars. So I think (Private
Eyes) is representative of
what we do, and if we could
build that reputation again,
that this is the kind of stuff
we present, I think theres a
market for that. W

I
ts hard not to roll your eyes
at some of the oddly named
bands out there and wonder
what its members were thinking.
Sometimes, though, a band name
comes along that makes you
smile and want to know more,
a name like Pterodactyl, whose
name invokes a certain inno-
cence.
We felt like it captured a kind
of childlike, dorky fascination
with a really cool thing, drum-
mer/vocalist Matt Marlin shared
recently from his home in Brook-
lyn. Its not like a complicated
fascination, its just, This thing
has a cool name and is some-
thing lots of little boys and girls
think is neat.
It wasnt very high minded. I
still think it was one of the best
decisions we made as a band, he
added, laughing.
Pterodactyl, which also fea-
tures bassist/vocalist Jesse Hodg-
es and guitarist/vocalist Joe
Kremer, will perform at the Red-
wood Art Space in Plains Twp.
Tuesday, Nov. 8, a show original-
ly scheduled for Embassy Vinyl
in Scranton. The trio will release
its third album, Spills Out the
following week, and the album is
full of sun-drenched three-part
harmonies, yet theres an under-
lying somber vibe.
Yeah, its a little schizophren-
ic because its kind of got this
sunny side that feels like sum-
mery and fun, but its kind of got
this melancholic side, Marlin
explained. I guess we just want-
ed to find a way to have those not
be incompatible with each other.
Part of that yin-yang came
from recording the album in the
dead of winter.
We were recording in our
practice space and in Jesses
apartment, so it wasnt necessar-
ily a very comfortable recording
process, he continued. It was
kind of scrappy and improvised,
and that may come through with
the mood of the record, but its
also very personal because we
were recording in spaces that
were sort of native to us, that we
felt comfortable experimenting
in.
As with many bands, Pterodac-
tyls sound has changed greatly
since its early days, when it was
more in the punk vein.
I feel the sound was more
fitting with the name at that time,
when we were actively trying to
make really shrill, sort of abra-
sive music, Marlin mused.
Now that weve sort of evolved
over time to discover the kind of
songs we want to write, it seems
a little more anachronistic.
Marlin and Kremer have been
playing together for more than a
decade, and Spills Out is the
first album that features Hodges
for its entirety.
This album was the three of
us from start to finish, so it was a
more cohesive voice, Marlin
said, but it also gave us a chance
to each showcase our individual
songwriting voices, too.
Aside from the expansion of
the trios songwriting, Spills
Out features many outside col-
laborators, including an organist,
a violist and even former mem-
ber Zach Lehrhoff. The outcome
gives the album a large-band
sound. To help translate that to
the stage, Pterodactyl looked to
its friend, Duncan Gamble.
Were going to tour as a four
piece, for starters, Marlin said.
Hes playing on a synthesizer
that can do a lot of cool different
keyboard sounds, he can emulate
a Farfisa organ, which was on a
few songs on the album, he can
emulate a Wurlitzer organ that
Joe was playing on some songs,
so that will cover a lot of the
bases that well need. W

tech talk
By Nick Delorenzo
Special to the Weekender
I
t seems that inventors
arent content to leave
anything untouched these
days. Take, for example, the
simple thermostat. For some,
its a knob. For others, a
few arrows.
Until recently, no one saw
much reason to improve on
a system that was, in what-
ever form it took, nearly
perfect.
But now we have Nest.
Its a digital thermostat with
a difference. Its sleek, ele-
gant and almost iPod-like in
its simplicity.
The Nest takes the form
of a simple knob. Turn
clockwise to increase tem-
perature, counterclockwise to
turn it down. No news there.
Whats different is that as
youre using the thermostat,
its learning from you.
It will track your habits
and automatically adjust the
temperature to follow your
patterns.
Whats more, you can con-
trol the temperature in your
living room remotely, from a
laptop or smartphone.
(Theres no guarantee, how-
ever, that if you and a
housemate disagree on what
is comfortable, you wont
find the thermostat reset on
returning from a business
trip.)
The Nest also provides
estimates as to how long it
will take for your home to
reach the specified temper-
ature, which may be a
useful function, al-
though I cant recall
ever anxiously
awaiting that 5-
degree temper-
ature increase.
A unique fea-
ture is a little
leaf symbol at
the bottom of the
dial that tells you
if the temperature
youve selected is
energy efficient. In
addition, the gadget
senses activity or light
and can automatically reduce
the temperature if you go
out for the day or away on
vacation.
My take:
Its website (www.nest.com)
makes a good point: Heating
typically makes up about
half of the energy costs of a
home, so intelligently ma-
naging it is useful. The level
of detail is a bit obsessive,
but the Nest is neat and
eye-catching, and while it is
pricey for a thermostat, its
not outrageously expensive
for the capabilities.
The Nest will be available
in late November and will
cost $249.
Optional professional in-
stallation is also available
for a fee of $119, plus $25
for each additional thermo-
stat. W
Nick DeLorenzo can be
reached at ndelorenzo@
timesleader.com.
Cool way to turn up the heat
Nest is a digital
thermostat for a
technology-driven
generation.

Thirteen times and its been
lucky for me, Megadeth singer/
guitarist Dave Mustaine growls
on the closing track of
Th1rt3en, the 13th song on the
bands 13th album.
It might be a fitting statement.
After being booted from Metal-
lica, Mustaine formed Megadeth,
which has sold more than 30
million albums and garnered nine
Grammy nominations, and
Th1rt3en marks the return of
original bassist Dave Ellefson for
the first time since 2002s Rude
Awakening, and the outcome is
heavy, sometimes dark and al-
ways in-your-face.
Standout Sudden Death is
violent, with a piercing guitar
reaching fever pitch before it
blasts into a staccato riff. Mus-
taines vocals have grown gnar-
lier, but can still deliver lines like
a blitzkrieg raining down evil.
Public Enemy No. 1 is fast and
dirty.
We The People is a sludgy
commentary that brings to mind
Occupy Wall Street while Guns,
Drugs & Money and Never
Dead are thrash-y. New World
Order has great rhythm and
Shawn Drovers machine-gun
drumming in its final half.
Fast Lane has an apt fast-
pace to it; Mustaines and Chris
Brodericks accelerated guitars
give visions of a roadway rushing
past. Wrecker, about a wreck-
ing ball of a woman whos like a
vulture picking my bones clean,
gets off to a noisy start with great
percussion and features a searing
guitar solo. On the heavy epic
Millennium Of The Blind,
Mustaine adopts a softer, but still
scratchy snarl as he sings about
corrupt wars, sacrificing leaders
and faceless children.
Deadly Nightshade has
dueling crunchy and chugging
guitars and guttural Ellefson bass
while closer 13 starts with
ballad-worthy guitar before the
song begins to blister.
Along with Metallica, Slayer
and Anthrax, Megadeth is The
Big Four of thrash metal; all
four are pioneers of the genre in
its own right. But alongside
Megadeths successful 2009
outing, Endgame, which debut-
ed at No. 9 on the Billboard 200,
Th1rt3en continues to prove
that the band is not only a pio-
neer of metal, but remains one of
its greatest torchbearers.

Billboard Top Country Songs
In music, along with much of life, peo-
ple are often apt to make the dont-do-it-
the-way-they-used to comparison. In the
realm of thrash metal, Southern Cali-
fornias Warbringer is one band who de-
fies that phrase. The group recently re-
leased its third album, Worlds Torn
Asunder, a stellar effort which aside from
the distorted (and occasionally unintelligi-
ble) vocal work easily sounds like it could
have been released two decades earlier.
Whether the listener is a veteran metal
fan or just beginning to earn ones stripes,
Worlds Torn Asunder should be equally
enjoyable. Album opener Living Weap-
on immediately takes hold of the listener,
and the band doesnt release its grip until
the album is over. Songs such as Wake
UpDestroy, Enemies Of The State,
Savagery and Demonic Ecstasy re-
flect the theme and mood of the album,
both in terms of sound as well as subject
matter. For better or worse, all the songs
are exactly what one would expect.
Theyre hardly groundbreaking or eye-
opening, but the point of this type of
music is about expression, not explora-
tion.
Carrying the torch forward for some of
the most popular acts in metal (and, argua-
bly, all of music) is no easy task, but
Warbringer seems more than ready and
willing. From beginning to end, Worlds
Torn Asunder embodies every element of
classic thrash metal: Powerful rhythm,
intricate guitar work and a furious tempo
combine to create music that begs to be
listened to at full volume. Hearing this
album makes one feel as though he or she
has gotten in on the ground floor, and only
Warbringer knows how far up the elevator
will go.

Carrying
the torch
Though she won the title of first ever
American Idol one of the most com-
mercial and derivative claims to fame
Kelly Clarksons image has always been a
little edgy. She may be pretty, but if you
break her heart, shell break into your
house and trash it. At least, thats the
impression she seems to want to project,
and although each of her albums have
been a slow progression toward that, her
fifth release, Stronger is proof that
Clarkson may never truly shed her bubble-
gum persona.
Released in two versions, original and
deluxe, Stronger is nothing if not a
showcase of Clarksons fluid, almost
perfect vocals. The velvety beginning of
What Doesnt Kill You (Stronger) and
ethereal chorus of album standout Stand-
ing In Front Of You are testaments to
that.
But the downfall of the album is lyrics.
Songs like Einstein and the deluxe
editions Dont Be A Girl About It, with
superficial, infantile words, make one
wonder if Clarkson will ever have the
desire to take her music to a more serious
level, or if shell forever be happy pander-
ing to the desires of tween girls with the
likes of Britney Spears and Selena Go-
mez.
While the theme of the album seems to
be shockingly heartbreak, with
songs like Let Me Down and the forget-
table Dark Side, Clarkson bounces
around the genre spectrum and touches on
some electronic 80s tingles in You Love
Me and Alone.
From a distance, Stronger isnt by any
means awful; it sounds great. Up close
and personal, though, its the epitome of a
lack of self-awareness and growth.

movie review
Will gradually hatches a plan
that will change this oppres-
sive society for the better.
All three fans of Gattaca
may get an eerie sense of deja
vu while watching In Time,
but that shouldnt be too sur-
prising considering that both
films were written and direct-
ed by Andrew Niccol. In fact,
the two films share so much
in common you get the feel-
ing that Niccol took his script
from Gattaca, crossed out
all of the references to ge-
netic perfection and replaced
them with glowing arm clock
thingys. At least this laziness
explains why there are so
many plot holes and improb-
abilities. For example, why is
it so easy to steal time from
those arm clocks? Shouldnt
there be some kind of fail-
safe device that prevents peo-
ple from simply touching
another persons arm and
S
itting through In Time
is a weird experience.
Ostensibly, the film
takes place in a dystopian
future where the divide be-
tween rich and poor has in-
creased to a devastating de-
gree. But almost all of the
social commentary thats
found in In Time is under-
cut by the fact that the film
feels like it was based on one
of George Carlins lesser ob-
servational bits from the 70s.
Essentially, the premise be-
hind In Time asks us,
What if time was literally
money, man? Would we have
99 Seconds stores? Instead of
asking for change, would
homeless people ask if you
could spare a minute? And
for 109 minutes, this insuffer-
ably dopey brand of symbol-
ism is beaten into our fore-
heads with little regard to our
intelligence or patience.
In the unspecified future of
In Time, people stop aging
at 25. However, on everybo-
dys 25th birthday, a glowing
green clock on their arms
activates itself and automat-
ically counts down their final
year until they die. More time
can be earned through menial
labor jobs or spent on provi-
sions like food or rent. Like
the other 99 percent in this
particular future, Will Salas (a
bland Justin Timberlake) is
struggling to earn enough
time to stay one step ahead of
his ever-dwindling count-
down.
Wills redemption comes in
the form of a slumming aris-
tocrat who presents him with
more than a century in time
shortly before taking his own
life. Initially, Will takes ad-
vantage of his newfound
wealth by squandering it on
fancy cars and casinos. But
when his riches gain the at-
tention of the time keepers, a
quasi-militaristic group led by
Cillian Murphy (who all dress
in live action role-playing-
approved pleather dusters),
absorbing their time? These
characters are basically ATM
machines with legs. Shouldnt
they be better protected?
But even if you can over-
look the endless plot holes,
youre still left with a movie
where none of the characters
are recognizably human.
Theyre merely wide-eyed,
perpetually shouting meta-
phors who cant stop remind-
ing you about this corrupt
dystopian system or that it
was built off the backs of the
working man. Granted, Nic-
cols message is a valid one,
especially during this apoc-
alyptic economy, but couldnt
he at least utilize a modicum
of subtlety to convey it? But
the most annoying aspect
behind In Time is the fact
that its the kind of movie that
preaches about the importance
of time and yet wastes so
much of it.
By Mike Sullivan
Weekender Correspondent
A waste of 'Time'
Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried are on the run, and almost out of time.
Justin Timberlake portrays the heroic Will Salas, whose
unexpected inheritance propels him into shaping
world-changing events.

Green piece
By Jen Stevens
Special to the Weekender
H
opefully you have heard of
the recent Occupy Wall
Street (OWS) movement
that is on the rise. If you havent, let
me give you a brief run down on
the group and why they are taking a
stand. To put it simply, OWSis a
group that has gathered together
throughout the country in numer-
ous cities to express the feeling of
major injustice fromlarge corpora-
tions and government. The group
has united together as one to let the
government knowthe unjust prac-
tices and policies it forces individu-
als to go by is wrong and that peo-
ple will no longer stand for it.
Of course, there is more to it than
that, but if you really want to look
into it, go to occupywallst.org. Im
not a trained environmentalist, but
anyone who can read and keep
themselves up to date with the
worlds current affairs knows that
our environment is in danger and is
declining at a rapid pace. One of
the biggest issues that have been
brought up by the movement is our
environment. Fromblocking al-
ternative energy sources to stay
dependent on oil to covering up
environmental disasters, these are
serious issues that cannot just be
ignored.
During a recent OWSprotest in
NewYork, environmentalists were
among the crowd demanding pol-
icies change. Signs to ban hydro-
fracking, end investing in big oil
companies and to introduce a
carbon tax could be seen amongst
the protestors. People in the crowd
strongly felt that the environmental
movement could gain solidarity
and raise awareness.
The group Food and Water
Watch is against fracking and set
up at OWSto spread awareness as
well as meet like-minded individu-
als willing to support its cause. Eric
Beltman, senior organizer for the
group, recently told me its main
purpose at the OWSmovement was
to engage people as individuals to
come over and sign their petition.
Were trying to mobilize people
against hydrofracking, which is an
extraordinarily dangerous tech-
nique for gas drilling because it
threatens our water, our food and
our air, said Beltman.
Environmentalist and author Bill
McKibben spoke out a fewweeks
ago at a demonstration in New
York Citys Washington Square
Park. McKibbens speech was
recorded and posted on several
websites including OWS.
We can never do anything about
global warming because Exxon
gets in the way, McKibben said.
The sky does not belong to Exxon,
they cannot keep using it as a sewer
into which to dump their carbon.
If anything, the Occupy Wall
Street movement is bringing aware-
ness to serious issues around our
nation and the environment is just
one of the many. W
Part of the Occupy Wall Street movement focuses on
environmental issues in its stand to protest perceived
unjust practices and policies.

ralphie report
the
By Ralphie Aversa
Special to the Weekender
L
ike most Americans, Dana
Carvey wasnt exactly in
shock over Kim Kar-
dashians plans to divorce Kris
Humphries after just 72 days of
marriage.
I broke down, I sobbed for
about Carvey joked before
trailing off and laughing himself.
You know, Elizabeth Taylor
must be in Heaven going, Al-
right, fire two honey!
The 56 year-old comedian
used an interesting analogy to
explain how he felt about the
divorce.
I feel the way I feel about a
funeral for someone who died at
107, said Carvey. Its hard to
see yourself throwing yourself on
the casket, My God, he had so
much to live for!
Carvey explained that with the
faster news cycle these days, its
actually harder for comedians
because they find themselves
constantly writing new jokes to
stay relevant.
Last spring, we had the come-
dian spring, said the former
Saturday Night Live actor.
We went from Charlie Sheen to
Donald Trump to the Royal
Wedding to Arnold Schwar-
zenegger to Rep. Weiner to
Osama bin Laden. It was so fast
and furious, you couldnt keep up
with it.
Fortunately for Carvey, a lot of
his material is classic and tran-
scends news cycles. With the
Texas Rangers losing the World
Series last week, the impression-
ist broke out his George H.W.
Bush voice.
Well, they had them down to
the last strike there. All they
needed was one ring-a-dinger,
one hum-dinger down the mid-
dle, Carvey said, mimicking the
former presidents voice with an
impression that became legend-
ary on SNL. Couldnt get it
done. Pretty much sucked.
During the interview, the co-
median also broke out a variety
of other impressions, from Presi-
dent Barack Obama and Jay
Leno to a hybrid Church Lady/
Michele Bachmann.
Carvey also talked about the
lasting power of another act:
Waynes World. The actor
said he isnt surprised that kids
still dress up as Wayne and Garth
on Halloween. As popular as
Waynes World was, Carvey
was also quick to point out that
the duo was successful without
drinking alcohol or smoking
weed during the movies. Espe-
cially in this day and age, that is
something to be legitimately
shocked over.
CATCH UP WITH DONNIE
Boston-born New Kids on the
Block singer Donnie Wahlberg
has a sunny disposition on the
Red Soxs off-season.
In 2003, we lost game seven
(of the American League
Championship Series) Grady
Little and Pedro Martinez
stayed in the game too long.
Everyone thought it was the end
of the world, Wahlberg ex-
plained on the red carpet of Mo-
hegan Suns 15th anniversary in
Uncasville, Conn. We cleaned
house, came back, and won the
World Series. And thats whats
going to happen next year.
The BoSox have parted ways
with its manager and general
manager amidst all types of
reports on the activities of some
players in the clubhouse during
the teams September slide.
Thankfully for Wahlberg, his fall
hasnt been tumultuous at all.
NKOTB just announced a Eu-
ropean tour, while the actor fo-
cuses on his CBS drama, Blue
Bloods and newly opened res-
taurant, Wahlburgers.
Listen to The Ralphie Radio
Show weeknights from 7
p.m.-midnight on 97 BHT.
Dana Carvey isnt afraid
to speak his mind when it
comes to the
Kardashian/Humphries
saga.

big screen in Mission: Impossible
-- Ghost Protocol. In the movie,
which hits theaters on Dec. 21,
Josh plays Trevor Hanaway,
a member of Ethan Hunts
(played by Tom Cruise) Mission
Impossible force, along with Ving
Rhames and Academy Award-
nominee Jeremy Renner.
I loved the TV showLost
and have been wondering
about the man who played
Sawyer. He is such a good
actor. Do you have any info
on what hes doing now?

oming from nearly five
decades as a touring war-
horse, Grateful Dead co-
founder Bob Weir sounds deserv-
ingly refreshed talking about his
latest venture, Furthur, a band he
formed two years ago with long-
time Dead cohort, bassist Phil
Lesh.
You know, its nice to catch
your breath between tours, Weir,
64, said from his home in Marin
County, Calif., during a touring
break. You dont want to take
too much time though. Then you
get rusty.
True to form, the road came
calling, and now Weir and Fur-
thur are gearing up for a 15-show
tour, including a stop at the Mo-
hegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-
Barre Twp., Saturday, Nov. 5.
Since forming in 2009, Furthur
has undergone slight lineup
changes including the departures
of co-drummer Jay Lane and
vocalist Zoe Ellis. Now, after the
addition of vocalists Sunshine
Garcia Becker and Jeff Pehrson,
the band is enjoying the ride of
playing for fans that enthuse over
the top-notch ensemble.
It took a little shopping, and
then a little shuffling to get it
right, Weir explained.
The Weekender couldnt help
but ask about the inclusion of
lead guitarist John Kadlecik, who
has become something of a sav-
ior for Deadheads.
He was almost an after-
thought when Phil and I were
talking about guitarists, Weir
said. We found out he did things
other than Dark Star Orchestra,
and we looked into that and
found out he had this other voice.
It made good sense because he
knew all the material, so we
figured wed try him out to see if
it was creepy or if it was OK. It
turned out it was better than OK.
The guys really good.
Knowing the Deads music and
improvisations are a necessity, as
Furthur setlists have seen every-
thing from China Cat Sunflow-
er as an opener to withholding
the undeniable I Know You
Rider until later in the evening,
sometimes not playing it until a
show or two later. Weir and Lesh
have the final vote on setlists, but
the blueprint comes from two
unlikely sources: Furthurs man-
ager Matt Busch and Leshs wife
Jill.
Basically, they consult Phil
and I, but they do the ground-
work, Weir said. It takes a
whole lotta load off Phils and my
back.
An overwhelming highlight to
Furthur shows is new material
which the band has been crank-
ing out frequently since its in-
ception. Cuts like the Weir-
penned Big Bad Blues, and
Leshs High on a Mountain,
have received such praise it
wouldnt be surprising to see a
larger amount of originals in
future shows.
Any band Im working with
better have an outlet for new
material, Weir said. Im always
working on more.
With a stack of new material
and Weir recently opening a
state-of-the-art high definition
broadcasting studio, Tamalpais
Research Institute (TRI), every-
thing seems to be taking place
with hopes of a new studio al-
bum.
I think were pretty much
ready at anytime to go in and do
that, and we have a facility to do
that in. I guess we should start
talking about that, he said,
laughing.
Although Furthur and TRI are
his primary focus, Weir is opti-
mistic about the possibility of
catching up with his last two
projects, RatDog and The Dead.
For what its worth, I at least
have the plan of putting on a
RatDog Retrospective and broad-
casting it from TRI, he said.
And The Dead, I wouldnt be
surprised if we reassembled that
at some point, polish it up and
take it out for a spin. Its always a
hoot.
As for Furthur, the band is
keeping Weir and Lesh on the go
due to relentless touring and the
musical energy reciprocating
between the band and its fans.
Like all shows, the music will be
the guide in Wilkes-Barre, some-
thing Weir feels is the way it
should be.
Were gonna play. We dont
know where were going with it;
we have no idea, he said. But
well get there. Well get there
when we do. W

ce Frehley.
Rock stars dont even
seemto have names like
that anymore.
It sounds like someone youd
call a rock legend. And for nearly
40 years, Ace Frehley has been
just that.
Frehley, the original guitarist
for KISS, has been topping read-
ers polls in guitar magazines for
decades and is often cited as one
of the most influential players of
all time. Others may have played
with more flair or better tech-
nique, but Frehley has always
brought the perfect touch to a
song and his solos have always fit
each number perfectly.
On Sunday, Nov. 6, Frehley will
bring an explosive setlist of those
songs to Crocodile Rock in Allen-
town. The music will include
KISS classics, songs fromhis
iconic1978 solo album, plus
material fromhis post-KISS
career.
Frehley enjoyed two successful
stints with KISS, from1973-1982
and1996-2002. In1977, KISS
topped a Gallup Poll and was
named the most popular band in
America. Upon Frehleys return,
the groups 1996-1997 Alive/
Worldwide reunion tour was the
No. 1tour of the year. Frehley,
however, is a musician who is just
as comfortable playing in more
intimate venues as he is playing in
arenas before 20,000 people. This
I knowfirsthand, as Ive seen him
in both. Ive seen himtear it up on
stage at Madison Square Garden
with KISS, as well as many other
giant venues. And, right here in
NEPA, Ive seen himrock the old
West Side Theater in Scranton
(1985), the old Autographs night-
club in Old Forge (1987) and
Tinks in Scranton (1995).
It doesnt matter where hes
plugged in. No ones guitar
sounds quite like Aces.
To understand why Frehley has
had such an important impact on
rock guitarists, one needs to look
no further than the KISS albums
he played on in the 70s. Fromthe
bands punchy, groove-laced
debut in1974 through1979s
much more slick Dynasty,
Frehley has an impact on every
record. He wrote the classic Cold
Gin on the first album. His riffs
seemto anchor the crunch of the
second album, Hotter Than
Hell. The spot-on perfect solo he
played on a song such as Dr.
Love fromthe Rock and Roll
Over albumtook the song to new
heights. Later, when he got more
comfortable and starting doing
some lead vocals, he offered gems
such as Shock Me and Rocket
Ride. And after the success of his
1978 solo album, he seemed to
work with even greater confi-
dence, bringing killer material
such as Hard Times and Save
Your Love to Dynasty.
Why didnt Frehley stay with
KISS? Why did he leave The
Hottest Band In The World, not
once, but twice? Well, his new
book, No Regrets, which re-
cently hit bookstores, offers his
side of the story. And it seems that
in recent years, a clean and sober
Frehley has been fairly diplomatic
when it comes to the topic. Were
there egos and personality con-
flicts within the band common
factors that often cause even the
most successful of groups to
implode? Sure. But Frehley has
put some of the blame on himself
in recent interviews, he has ad-
mitted he was quite a handful at
times, and on his most recent solo
CD, Anomaly, he offers the
track ALittle BelowThe An-
gels which seems to celebrate the
newand centered place hes found
in life.
Fans will get all of this on Sun-
day night in Allentown. Theyll
get the punk kid fromthe Bronx
who loved Eric Clapton and Jimi
Hendrix and helped shape the
KISS sound. Theyll get the guy
who, in the 80s, put out great
solo records such as Trouble
Walkin, and who, in the 90s,
helped KISS return to the very top
of the rock world. And if theyre
lucky, maybe theyll even get a
smoking guitar. Literally.
Theyll get Ace Frehley.
Rock legend. W
Ace Frehley, the original guitarist for KISS, is considered a rock legend.

novel approach
I
n Chris Bohjalians newest
novel, The Night Strang-
ers, readers are thrown by
a haunting tale of accident,
loss and guilt a concoction
of thrill perfect for this time
of year.
Enter Chip and Emily Lin-
ton. They seem like the quin-
tessential couple with their
large, beautiful house and
wholesome twin daughters,
but beneath the surface of
their perfect life is the past
that they all tried to leave
behind.
Bohjalian introduces readers
to a small town in New
Hampshire. The Lintons, hav-
ing just left their home in
Bethel, Pa., buy an old Vic-
torian house after experi-
encing tremendous loss. Here,
they hope to start a new life
by avoiding memories of the
past.
But, when the Linton family
starts to become acquainted
with their new home, they
begin to notice that the little
town they hope to create a
new beginning in has eerie
resemblances to their past.
Since the novel is a psycho-
logical thriller, the house in
many ways becomes a charac-
ter. It has personality and a
past somehow connected to
Chip. Moreover, they find that
the family who once owned
the home has a story of their
own.
In the home, within the
deep, darkened basement is a
door that also takes on some
characteristics all too similar
with Chips past 39 bolts
each taking captive what-
ever may be behind the door.
It is the aspect of symbolism
that Bohjalian is most compe-
tent with as each of the bolts
holding the door represents
Chips psyche.
The sense of guilt was an
impending force in this novel;
specifically to the point the
reader could feel it intensify-
ing inside of them through the
characters.
Throughout the novel,
Chips one fatal error left him
seeing those he left behind.
He tried his best, and yet,
Bohjalian expertly takes read-
ers into the mind of Chip as
he ruminates over the ghosts
of his past.
Bohjalian seems to be tak-
ing a new route with his writ-
ing by experimenting with
themes and structure he has
not used in the past. There are
some drawbacks to character
development, specifically
regarding blunted characters
like Emily and some outland-
ish herbalists. However, the
novel itself is a page-turner,
well paced and thrilling.
Ultimately, The Night
Strangers, though differing
from Bohjalians past work,
has a driving force that read-
ers will not forget. While
Bohjalian may continue to
experiment with his writing,
readers should look forward
to his ever-growing adaptation
as a sign that he will never be
predictable and continue to
enthrall his readers.

The Gamer
By Dale Culp
Weekender Correspondent
I
ts hard to believe that it has
already been10 years since the
first Max Payne. After being
released to high critical acclaim,
spawning a sequel and getting the
Hollywood treatment in a major
motion picture, you could say the
game has left quite a legacy. Too
much of a legacy to let go, in fact,
which is why, in 2009, Rockstar
Games announced a third install-
ment, set to be released in March
2012. Recently, at NewYork Com-
ic Con, I was given a hands-off
demonstration of what Max
Payne 3 will look and play like.
Dark, gritty and with elements
of filmnoir set to a graphic-novel
style of storytelling, the first Max
Payne was a gripping homage to
tales of dirty cops, conspiracies
and unlikely heroes. Of course, the
most famous feature of the original
game was Paynes ability to enter
bullet time, dramatically slowing
time down to performincredible
stunts while dodging bullets and
returning fire in the blink of an eye.
Youll be happy to know, its all
back in Max Payne 3.
We drop in on Payne a fewyears
after the events of the second
game. Hes since crawled into a
bottle of booze and is slipping
frombad to worse. As the demon-
stration begins, we see Payne, not
exactly living the good life, alone
in a filthy, NewYork slumapart-
ment, when an old friend, Raul
Passos, comes calling. Passos
offers Payne a way out, a newlife
in Sao Paulo, Brazil, working
security for a wealthy family. Just
as Payne begins to mull it over,
however, more of Paynes old
friends showup a small band
of mafia, looking to exact their
revenge on Payne for the death of
the Dons son.
Its in this scene that we get to
hear some of that top-notch voice
acting that Rockstar Games are
known for. The emotion really
comes through in the angry, dis-
traught shouts fromoutside while
Payne tries to get a plan together.
Then, the action-oriented game-
play kicks in as Payne must shoot
his way out of this dire situation.
As the demo continues, were
treated to several other hallmarks
of the Max Payne series, in-
cluding a surreal encounter with a
mad conspiracy theorist with a
bomb strapped to his chest.
Ashort while later, the demo
shows Payne in Brazil; his head
has been shaved, and hes grown a
beard. Its a radical departure from
the characters usual appearance,
but reflects his adaptation to his
newlife. Old habits die hard, how-
ever. In addition to his addictions,
he finds himself double-crossed
and fighting for his life, again.
During another gun fight, we see
more spectacular animations,
bullet time effects and more jaw-
dropping cinematic action se-
quences. We even see howPayne
can utilize the environment to duck
out of harms way as the enemy
A.I. searches for him.
Max Payne 3 will feature
many artistic and technical
achievements, much of which I
sawfor myself. However, I had to
take the word of the Rockstar
representative when he said the
game wouldnt have any loading
screens. Levels will seamlessly
flowinto another as all of the
loading takes place behind the
motion comic-book styled cut
scenes. Howwell it will work
remains to be seen, but in the wake
of numerous titles that suffer from
long loading screens, it will be a
welcome change.
Fromwhat Ive seen, despite his
newlook, Max Payne 3 is sizing
up to be a fantastic game, worthy
of the original. Coming to Play-
Station 3, Xbox 360 and PCin
March 2012. W
More 'Payne' on the way
Dale took in a demonstration of Rockstar Games Max Payne 3, scenes of which are
shown above and below, at New York Comic Con last month. The game is set to be
released in March 2012.

A Very Harold & Kumar

3-D Christmas is Kal
Penns first movie in three
years. But that doesnt mean the
actor whos best known for
playing the worlds most fervent
weed smoker has spent the last
36 months lighting up, slacking
off and wolfing down White
Castle hamburgers.
Penn, who neither smokes
marijuana nor eats meat, is
coming off a stint working for
President Barack Obama as an
associate director of the White
House Office of Public Engage-
ment. In Washington, he served
in a number of different capac-
ities, including as a liaison to
arts communities, Asian Amer-
icans and Pacific Islanders.
So, what was it like going
from staff meetings with the
Commander-in-Chief to revisit-
ing a character who spends his
days more than half-baked?
It was a little tougher for me
this time around because its
been three years since we shot
the last movie, says Penn, 34.
We also set the movie six years
after the last one, so it was a bit
of a challenge to re-discover
Kumar and try to figure out
whats been happening to him in
these intervening years.
Making Penns assignment
even trickier was the fact that he
and John Cho (Harold) didnt
have any scenes together for the
first two weeks of shooting.
Im so used to playing Kumar
with Harold, says Penn during
a telephone interview from
Philadelphia. This time I had
to discover Kumars independ-
ence.
At the outset of A Very
Harold & Kumar Christmas,
Harold has left the slacker life-
style behind. Hes married, em-
ployed and the owner of a nice
house in the burbs. Kumar, by
contrast, is out of work, barely
getting by and living in the
same apartment he once shared
with Harold.
The two might have grown
apart, but theyre soon reunited
when a mysterious package for
Harold is delivered to Kumar by
mistake. After sampling the
high grade contents, the pals
get themselves into a jam when
a Christmas tree belonging to
Harolds father-in-law goes up in
smoke. Thus begins an ill-ad-
vised journey through New York
City in search of the perfect
replacement tree.
Harold & Kumar Go to
White Castle (2004) and its
2008 sequel, Harold & Kumar
Escape from Guantanamo Bay,
are far from mind-teasers. But,
in their own ways, the movies
addressed issues of race and
politics.
Do the guys tackle religion
this time around?
I never thought that we took
on religion as much as we took
on the traditions of Christmas
movies like A Christmas Story
or the claymation specials we all
grew up with, says Penn. I
also think we take the piss out
of 3-D. Everything is in 3-D
these days, but only a Harold
& Kumar movie can be so
self-referential as to make fun
of 3-D even though its also in
3-D.
As for those who worry that
the Harold and Kumar movies
glorify drug use, Penn claims
the opposite is true. A friend
pointed out to me that its only
when the guys are high that bad
things happen to them, he says.
If anything, the movies are
warnings about (not abusing
drugs.)
In case you havent guessed
already, Penn is nothing like the
character who made him fa-
mous. But the actor finds much
to admire about his alter ego.
For me, the relatability of
Kumar is not that he smokes
weed or likes hamburgers but
its because he has such an
outgoing personality, says Penn.
I love that about him. Were
very different in real life, and
thats the joy of playing him.
Im actually more of a Ha-
rold and John Cho is more of a
Kumar. But usually in the third
week of shooting these movies,
Ill start to come out of my shell
a bit thanks to Kumar. He has a
good effect on me.
Are fans ever disappointed
that Penn isnt more of a stoner?
Oh, yeah, theyre disappoint-
ed, he says. In fact, I dont
share the fact that I dont smoke
weed with too many people. I
dont want to spoil the illusion.
When Im out grabbing a drink
with friends, Ill often have
people coming over to me with
five beers going, Cmon man,
lets pound them. When I say
no, I can see Im disappointing
them.
But we also have fans who
dont just like the movies for
their debaucherous content.
Theyll come up and say, We
love that you made a buddy
comedy that also had a com-
mentary on race or Guantanamo
or deconstructed 3-D. Those
fans, I guess, have a better abil-
ity to dissociate fact from fic-
tion.
Growing up in New Jersey,
Penn was entranced by both
acting and activism. His engi-
neer father and scientist mother
never let him forget that his
grandparents marched with
Gandhi for Indian independence.
In the eighth grade at Free-
holds Marlboro Middle School,
Penn joined the drama club
despite being teased mercilessly
by his buddies about being an
actor. After Penn aced a role in
a play presented during a
school-wide assembly, his
friends changed their tune.
They said, Why didnt you
tell us what you were doing?
That was so cool! I thought,
Wow, you can actually change
somebodys mind by making
them laugh. That was the kind
of a magic that I wanted to
continue doing.
A few years ago, Penn accept-
ed an offer to become a visiting
lecturer in the Cinema Studies
department at the University of
Pennsylvania. Not long after that
year-long stint, Penn landed a
regular role on TVs House.
But after shooting 36 episodes,
he opted to go work for the
White House.
Penn will be back on the
campaign trail for Obama in
2012. In the meantime, hes
helping create a workplace com-
edy for NBC and finishing up a
re-occurring role on How I
Met Your Mother.
I missed being creative, he
says. What I love about D.C. is
the exact opposite of what I love
about L.A. In D.C., I was able
to be cerebral, but in L.A., I can
be creative. And I really enjoy
using that part of my brain. W

trouble again in A Very Harold & Kumar 3-D

MURPHY
THE FRUIT
OF LOCAL LABOR
By now, farm-to-table and
sustainable are words most
everyone recognizes to encourage
us to buy and eat local as much
as we can. But what about drink
local?
With the Franklin Hill Vine-
yards Dinner Friday, Nov. 4 at
Le Sorelle Cucina inside Mount
Airy Casino Resort (44 Wood-
land Road, Mount Pocono), at-
tendees can do just that.
Having planted its first vines in
1976, the winery is one of the
first and oldest wineries in the
Poconos and Lehigh Valley, start-
ed after owner Elaine Pivinski
bought a farm to live off the land.
One thing Im thrilled,
thrilled, thrilled to pieces about is
that Pennsylvania is really start-
ing to get recognized as a very,
very good winemaking region,
Pivinski told Dish.
Despite the bad economy of
late, Pivinskis seen her business
flourish, growing 18 percent in
the past year alone.
The reason is that people love
supporting local industry, they
love supporting stuff made in
America, Pivinski said. This is
farmed in America, I think peo-
ple are really realizing that they
want to look local. Theres a big
movement on buying local, buy-
ing fresh, farm-to-table, and it is
a great, great atmosphere right
now about purchasing and help-
ing people in your community.
Supplying wines for a wine
dinner is a first for Franklin Hill.
Mount Airy is being very
creative by catching onto some-
thing that the people love, Pivin-
ski said. Its such a compliment
to us because weve never gone in
that that direction before.
Before the menu was chosen,
Pivinski brought her top eight
wines to Mount Airy for a tast-
ing.
I let these scary men taste all
my wines, she explained with a
laugh. Its like judging a beauty
contest watching their faces and
what they thought would go with
them.
The outcome sounds delicious.
The four-course meal, which is
hosted by Pivinski and the casi-
nos Executive Chef Kevin Kli-
netop and Le Sorelle Cucina
Chef Matthew Smith, starts
with a honey crisp apple and
endive salad with speck ham and
cider-ginger dressing paired with
Seyval Blanc. Pumpkin ravioli
with chestnuts, sage brown butter
and grana padano cheese accom-
panied with Chambourcin fol-
lows. The third course features
fennel-crusted pork tenderloin
with roasted fennel and gigante
beans paired with Evanswood.
The dessert course, vanilla bean
panna cotta with pears, a walnut
lace cookie and port syrup, is
accompanied by Breathless,
Franklin Hills port-style red
wine.
Cost for the dinner is $59 per
person, and seatings will be held
at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. To make a
reservation, call 877.532.0340.
While not part of Fridays wine
dinner, I had to ask Pivinski
about her martini wines, which
she and winemaker Bonnie
Pysher developed about six years
ago.
We took a base wine of our
vidal blanc and started doing
flavorings in it, she explained,
adding that theyve done mango,
strawberry, blueberry and green
apple. We put just a little bit in it
to just set it off, and we wanted to
know if people would buy orange
wine, blue wine, strawberry-
colored wine.
She took the then-new wines to
Split Rock Resorts wine festival
and sold 20 cases of each. Her
son renamed them Passion, De-
sire and Bliss, and the following
year, sold 80 cases.
I mean, wouldnt you want a
glass of Desire? Pivinski asked.
The martini part of the wines
comes with a few simple addi-
tions.
You take a glass of these
wines, add crushed ice and a shot
of vodka to it and add the com-
plementary fruit, Pivinski ex-
plained. It is a slam dunk. This
year, we went and got true po-
megranate juice and put it with
peaches it is delightful.

direction before.

By Rachel A. Pugh
Weekender General Manager
Thigh-high
luxury
W
ith a background
in ne arts
and business
experience,
Vienne Cheung of Waltham,
Mass., has worked in product
management roles to launch a
variety of products. And then
she had the idea to launch her
own. On Tuesday, Nov. 1, thats
just what she did.
VienneMilano.com offers
high-end thigh highs for the
woman who wants luxurious
hosiery. Learn how this business
came to fruition and exactly
what you can expect when you
begin your shopping experience.
WEEKENDER: What
made you want to launch
VienneMilano?
CHEUNG: Working in
corporate America, I felt that it
was very limiting in terms of
fashion. For me, fashion is a
form of self expression. Its a
way to make a statement about
who you are and this can
be hard to achieve in business
attire. Instead, I found hosiery,
particularly thigh highs, to be
a solution. I really believe that
an outt can pop when paired
up with the right hosiery. Thigh
highs can smooth a womans
legs, and they are more
comfortable and sanitary than
pantyhose. I also feel that when
a woman is wearing thigh highs,
its like that little secret that she
can choose to hide or share with
the rest of the world. To sum it
all up, thigh highs are a lot of
fun.
However, the problem is
I found it challenging to nd
thigh highs in the U.S. I often
imported my own hosiery from
abroad. Thats when I realized
I cant possibly be the only
woman who appreciates nice
hosiery and is challenged by the
lack of selection in the U.S. ...
thats really how it all began.
WEEKENDER: What
can people expect when
visiting your online store?
CHEUNG: One of the major
concepts that we are introducing
with VienneMilano is the idea
that you can wear thigh highs
for every occasion (work, party,
play and love). To illustrate this
point, consumers will nd our
models wearing thigh highs in
various outts. Secondly, since
we are launching VienneMilano
in the fall/winter time, visitors
will be able to nd a selection
of thigh highs that are more
appropriate for the cooler-
weathered days. Theres also a
learn section to help women
understand what thigh highs are
about and the proper way to care
for them.
WEEKENDER: What
materials do you use for
your stockings?
CHEUNG: We are using
materials such as silk, wool,
Lycra, and polyester. All of
our bands are made using
silicone, which makes it super
comfortable. Our customers
wont need to wear complicated
garter belts.
WEEKENDER: What are
your price ranges?
CHEUNG: My price ranges
from $39.99 to $69.99. As a
premium product, we felt that
this is the right price range as
we offer high quality. At the
same time, we are priced a
little bit lower than our direct
competitor.
WEEKENDER: What
makes your thigh highs
different from other
brands?
CHEUNG: Well, to start,
our brand positioning is that
VienneMilano reveals the
style and condence of a
woman who knows how to
be elegant, playful and sexy
in every occasion. We believe
that in order for a woman to
reveal anything about herself,
they have to have style and
condence rst. At the same
time, our positioning also acts
as an aspiration to women who
want to be more condent and
stylish. Therefore, unlike other
hosiery brands, you will see
the entire full-gured model
(not just a pair of legs) to show
that the woman whos wearing
VienneMilano is someone who
is elegant, playful and sexy.
WEEKENDER: What
is one thing you want
the world to know about
VienneMilano?
CHEUNG: Hosiery is
something that allows a woman
to make a statement about
herself all year round. Another
feedback that I often hear is that
there are actually some women
who are not familiar with thigh
..

VienneMilano founder Vienne Cheung wants women
to know they can wear thigh highs for work, party,
play and love.
highs. Some women were also
concerned with the fact that
they are either too short or
tall to wear thigh highs as this
was a problem they faced with
pantyhose. My advice: Try it
out, and see how you like it! So
far, the women of all sizes who
weve provided samples to have
converted already. They have
started telling all of their friends
about how much they love our
thigh highs as it made their legs
look awless. They felt great
wearing VienneMilano, and
they also raved about some of
our products fancy band. As
for the height concern, well,
Im someone who wears 6-inch
heels because Im a short girl.
Thigh highs work for me!
And last, but certainly not
least, I would like the world to
know that VienneMilano was
mainly started by a woman who
loves fashion and had a dream.
Since I was a kid, I wanted
to be in the fashion industry.
And although Ive taken a
roundabout way of getting there,
I am slowly making my way
there. W

at Genettis in Wilkes-Barre
bitch & brag
By Jeff and Amanda of 98.5 KRZ
Special to the Weekender
Jeffs Brag
Its a popular pastime in
NEPA to whine about how
bad it is to live here. You
know the routine: Theres
nothing to do, theres no
jobs, nobody wants to pay a
decent salary, were behind in
the times, etc.
And to varying degrees,
some of those claims have
some merit. Its true we lack
good paying, white-collar
jobs. And salaries are lower
than bigger metropolitan
areas without doubt. And we
may not be a cultural hotbed
yet, but hey, someone has to
keep the WWE alive!
But to be fair, you must
look at the positives too,
especially if youre raising a
family. Ill outline a few in a
moment, but I should point
out, if youre a recent college
grad with a cool degree in
something that sounds like it
can make a cash register
ring, by all means go set the
world on fire. Its always
beneficial to see more of the
world than your own back-
yard.
I have a different perspec-
tive on this area than most
since I was born and raised
near Boston and still main-
tain a home there as well as
in Luzerne County. The ad-
vantages we have are less
crime, less traffic (despite
PennDot), and most impor-
tantly, a much, much, much
lower cost of housing. How
much lower? I think its safe
to say whatever you buy in
NEPA would cost you about
triple that in my hometown
of Beverly, Mass., a middle-
class area 20 miles north of
the city. Theyre not rich
there by any means. And
then lets not forget property
taxes. I pay about $1,600
here for an acre; in Beverly,
its $4,100 for a third of an
acre! And if you are starting
out and need to rent, youll
get taken to the cleaners
there as well. Is your back-
yard looking better now?
I doubt this little essay will
cause a land rush in NEPA.
But maybe it will make you
feel a little better knowing
we have at least one major
thing going in our favor!
Amandas Bitch :
Im not trying to wage a
war with truck drivers, but
after almost getting pinned to
a guardrail by a tractor trail-
er during this past weekends
snowstorm, come on! Just
because youre driving a be-
hemoth of a vehicle doesnt
mean you can fly past other
cars on the road especial-
ly when were driving slowly
with caution on snow-covered
roads. While literally driving
25 mph on Route 80 during
Saturdays snowstorm, mul-
tiple tractor trailers were
driving like the roads were
dry and speeding right by
the cautious vehicles whose
drivers were driving respon-
sibly for the weather condi-
tions.
Im sorry, but if you dont
think you need to alter the
way you drive during differ-
ent kinds of weather condi-
tions, you shouldnt be li-
censed to drive. Weve all
seen spin outs and the fatal
results of dangerous driving
in winter weather, but the
irresponsibility of some of
these truck drivers infuriates
me. I get it, youre driving a
monster, but your monster of
a truck comes really close to
crushing me in an average-
sized vehicle, especially
when every car on the road
is slipping and sliding all
over the place. What makes
you think its a good idea to
drive 70 mph in a snowstorm
while everyone around you is
gripping their steering wheels
and avoiding accidents? Do
you realize that all of your
slush flies at our wind-
shields, making it impossible
to see out the window?
If youre a responsible
truck driver who doesnt
drive like a jerk in the snow,
thanks! If youre one of these
creeps who scares the life
out of me while driving in
snow, pretend your family is
in the cars around you and
slow down or else well
all start calling your Hows
my driving? number. W
Hear Jeff and Amanda
Bitch & Brag on Fridays at
3:30 p.m. on 98.5 KRZ.
Amanda has something to say to truck drivers who drove fast in the snowy
conditions seen in this photo of Saturdays storm by The Times Leader.
Do you have Athletes Foot
(Tinea Pedis) between
your toes? If you have red,
itchy, aky skin between
your toes you may have

a study for an investiga-
tional medication for Athletes Foot. Qualifying

Ride of
the Week
Shrey, 23, got his Mustang when he was 19 with
the help of his stepfather.
About eight months after I bought it, we painted
her and put an aftermarket front bumper on, he
says, adding that hes since added Cobra R rims,
headlights and foglights. It sounds like a true
pony.
Shrey plans to put more power in the engine
soon.
She is a work in progress, he says. My
license plate says it all: 1SIKFOX. W

SCORPIO(OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Every relationship involves compromise.
Unfortunately, in some cases, that first
compromise can lead to many more, and at
some point what began as an amicable
meeting of minds can lead to a situation
that neither is especially happy with, be-
cause both parties feel like theyre giving
up way more than theyre getting. So you
can see I understand your profound reluc-
tance to walk down that path again. Is this
compromise the top of a slippery slope? Of
course it is. That doesnt mean you
shouldnt do it, though. Its still necessary.
Just watch your step.
SAGITTARIUS(NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Youve always made your own rules and
defined your own values; since when did
what other people dictated for you matter
much? Sure, according to the way they
viewthe world, you may not be considered
particularly successful or virtuous, but
thats only by their screwed-up definition.
By your own much more apt at least
according to your perspective and experi-
ence definition, youre actually wildly
successful and amazing. There isnt actual-
ly a right or wrong way to see the world
but there are better and worse ways. The
best way is the one that makes you happiest.
Stick with that.
CAPRICORN(DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
Relationships arent always convenient.
In fact, theyre sometimes a downright pain
in the ass. When you discover that youre
the one causing a hassle for someone else
(instead of the other way around, as things
usually are), it can sting. Please try to re-
member this: It doesnt mean they dont
love, value or respect you, just that they also
have other things in their lives they care
about, and that, by itself, will occasionally
cause conflict. Dont make a big deal about
it, and it wont be a big deal. Its as simple
as that.
AQUARIUS(JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Being a good friend to someone isnt
necessarily defined by what they think you
ought to do for them. After all, some of our
favorite people have pretty overblown
senses of entitlement. However, not cater-
ing to their every whimdoesnt mean we
dont still adore them. You must be careful
to keep your boundaries and limitations
intact this week, as some of your needier
friends may put themto the test. Theres a
way to remain a loving, supportive and
generous friend, even if you must refuse
some of their requests/demands. Find it,
and stick to it.
PISCES(FEB. 19-MARCH20)
Your mind works differently than most.
That doesnt mean youre wrong, or that the
decisions you make are inferior; in fact, in
many cases youre simply wiser or more
imaginatively creative than they can wrap
their heads around. However, your wisdom
and perspective come with a price; some-
times your choices truly are a little wacked
out. That means when someone you respect
vehemently questions a path youve cho-
sen, you must take themseriously. Dont
simply roll over and change your mind
because they said so, but earnestly consider
doing so; it may save you froman embar-
rassing mistake.
ARIES(MARCH21-APRIL19)
Theres right and then theres right.
While you may technically be correct in the
situation at hand, theres a deeper truth a
deeper rightness, if you will thats also in
play. Dont get carried away on a crusade
that, while entirely within your rights, will
only make you seempetty and small. You
are neither of those. Look deeper here, and
let go of the superficial truth of these cir-
cumstances, in order to see and embrace a
kinder and more enlightened version of
events, one in which, yes, you may have to
let go of something youve been clinging to
but which you dont really need in
order to let this situation play out the best
way it can.
TAURUS(APRIL20-MAY20)
Some people are too forgiving of mis-
takes and end up letting others walk all over
them. Those suckers are consequently
repeatedly forced to cope with, clean up
after, or simply suffer fromothers mis-
takes. Your wish to not be this kind of door-
mat is perfectly understandable; however,
you do tend to overcompensate in this
department, so much so that when someone
screws up even once, it can spell the end of
your relationship. Theres roomfor more
slack and leeway here. Be forgiving! That
doesnt mean not having standards, just
building a bit more flexibility into them
for your own sake as well as for the fallible
humans who populate your life.
GEMINI (MAY21-JUNE20)
Most parents would love to solve every
problemfor their children, but the sad truth
is that many difficulties cant be addressed
by anyone other than those they concern; in
fact, outside intervention may actually
make the problemworse. Thats the case
here. Youre probably sorely tempted to
play the hero and fix the situation. It might
even seemlike you can. What will actually
happen, though, is that youll swoop in,
appear to do some good, but once youre
gone, things will be, sadly, worse than they
were before. It may break your heart, but
accept the possibility that theres not much
you can do, besides be supportive and
encouraging enough to empower those who
are suffering to fix this situation for them-
selves.
CANCER(JUNE21-JULY22)
Resist your urge to sabotage things.
Youve had a tendency to do this in the past,
often without good reason. Its a self-de-
structive impulse that you shouldnt beat
yourself up for (we all have them), but you
should try to resist it, especially this week.
Instead of driving yourself nuts analyzing
why you want to screwthings up in the first
place, just concentrate on avoiding doing so
which, ironically, will work best if you
simply relax, smile, let go of your agenda,
and try to simply enjoy whatevers happen-
ing. In other words, the less you try to influ-
ence the situation, and instead simply par-
ticipate in it, the better itll go.
LEO(JULY23-AUG. 22)
Overreacting comes naturally for one as
emotionally intense as you are, but its not
necessarily cool, happiness-producing, or
relationship-nurturing. Please accept that
whatever your first reaction to a situation is,
as honest and valid as it feels, its probably
more than what you would eventually settle
on as an appropriate response. Therefore,
either edit it by about 50 percent before you
allowthe world to see, or simply stay neu-
tral and wait until your inner emotions have
settled to see whats actually left. You cant
help feeling whatever it is you feel, but you
can (and should) choose howyou react to it,
and howmuch of it you express.
VIRGO(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
When you find yourself on a different
side of the ethical fence than someone
youre working with, youre right to express
your concerns. However, forcing themto
conformto your views is as unlikely to be
successful as themtrying to get you to do
what they want you to. Speak up, but once
youve said your piece, theres nothing left
for you to do but simply step aside. That
doesnt mean you need to participate in
whatever you object to, just that making
more of a stink serves no purpose, so if
youve already voiced your thoughts to no
avail, shut up, step aside, and move on.
LIBRA(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Dont take the blame for something that
has little or nothing to do with you. I under-
stand your urge to smooth things over, even
if that means taking on burdens and respon-
sibilities that arent yours, but accept that
you cant fix everything, particularly not by
being a scapegoat for others troubles.
Youre the diplomats of the zodiac, but
recognize that not every conflict or problem
is within your power to resolve. Some you
have to let go of, or simply stay out of to
begin with. The one before you this week
falls into this category, so instead of bang-
ing your head against it, let it go, and go
looking for someplace you can actually do
some good. W

sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
Weekender Correspondent
I
dont understand why some
people have such an abom-
ination toward public trans-
portation. When I was interning
at Jimmy Kimmel Live, I had
to rely on taking the bus. Even
though I hated every minute of
smelling gangrene on homeless
bums and not knowing if I would
catch a staph infection that day, I
never complained. Someone who
wont stop complaining about
people taking the bus, however, is
Anna Kendrick, and its pissing
me off!
One night my roommate and I
were on the guest list to sit in the
green room during a taping of
Kimmel. The green room fea-
tured a pool table, arcade games,
an open bar and buffet. Basically
a party, the guest list often in-
cluded celebrities not even book-
ed on the show. Each intern was
allowed to bring a guest on days
they werent working.
Even though my roommate
had a car, we took the bus since
we both planned on taking ad-
vantage of the free alcohol. Be-
fore we headed home, we went to
visit a friend of mine.
My friend had a few people
over his place drinking, all of
which were over-privileged
snobs.
Are you trying to make it as
an actress? I asked one girl,
attempting to make conversation.
Ugh, trying? she whined,
apparently insulted. Are you
trying to make it as an intern?
Confused by her attempt at an
insult, I just walked away.
Later that night she heard me
mention that my roommate and I
took the bus.
Oh my God! I would never
take the bus in L.A.! she made
sure to point out, laughing.
Who was that? I asked when
she left. Shes a bitch and was
acting like I shouldve known
who she was!
My friend told me her name
was Anna, and she just finished
filming a movie called Twi-
light, which was going to be
like the next Harry Potter.
Never heard of it! I said.
She had the last laugh when a
few months later Twilight
became a global sensation, and
she went on to be nominated for
an Oscar for her role in Up in
the Air opposite George Cloo-
ney.
A few weeks ago I saw Ken-
drick in her latest movie, 50/
50. Her character gave Joseph
Gordon-Levitts character a ride
home so he didnt have to take
the bus.
What were you thinking?
she asked. The bus? Like, real-
ly?
My jaw dropped! She may be a
big movie star now, but she still
wont shut the f--k up about tak-
ing the bus! W
