Letter from the editor
social
Ginnifer Goodwin
Online comment
of the week.
So I watched #Hoarders.
Meaning I was compelled to
compulsively clean my house
all night. I am now, therefore,
rather tired.

Tell @wkdr
your claim to
fame
I represented Penn State
University as the winner of a
collegiate Baywatch contest and
was sent to Los Angeles.
Being held up by my mic stand
and friends at the Lessen One
CD release party at Heils ...
thanks guys!
Remember Johnny
Weekender?
Being inappropriate ... pretty
much all the time.
My collection of more than
500 neckties, my collection of
watches, or my knowledge of
useless facts about 60s and 70s
television shows.
My ability to always have a smile
on my face no matter what! (Hi
Rose!)
Nearly knocking myself out and
busting the inside of my lip with
an empty water cooler jug. Im
very graceful.
Being left-handed and
ripping my top lip off while trying
to play on a jungle gym when I
was 7.
Whats your claim to fame?
L
ike a lot of people, I re-
member this weeks cover-
story subject, Darius Ruck-
er, from his days as the lead
singer of 90s outfit, Hootie &
the Blowfish. The band started to
get big when I was in my junior
year of high school, and while I
wasnt really a fan per se, Id be
hard pressed to find anyone who
didnt have the urge to sing along
when one of its hits came on the
radio.
Even today, I hear some of
those songs from the breakout
Hold My Hand and Only
Wanna Be With You to the
cover of my beloved Led Zeppe-
lins Hey Hey What Can I Do
and I resort to that 16 year old
I once was, the one that cruised
around the Square with my
friends as I sing along at the top
of my lungs. (On a side note: Do
kids still cruise today?)
But, alas, the times they
change, and Rucker, albeit kind
of surprisingly given the fate of
some of his contemporaries from
the decade, rolled with the
punches and made a whole new
successful career for himself in
the world of country music the
past few years.
One thing that stuck out to me
from Ruckers interview with our
correspondent Bill Thomas was
his down-to-earthness and how
thankful he came across for his
triumphs. Its a humility that you
just dont see too often in todays
music, but in this weeks issue,
you can find it right on p. 15.
Novel Approach keeps in that
same theme as Staff Writer Ste-
phanie DeBalko read willing-
ly, mind you the book written
by Kyle Richards of Bravos The
Real Housewives of Beverly
Hills. I daresay Steph was char-
med by Richards, who came
across as more than
just another privileged
reality-TV star, more
like just another mom
and housewife who
happens to have the
Hilton sisters as nieces,
but I digress. Check
out the review on p. 31.
Theres a lot more in
this weeks issue, but
youll have to find that
out on your own be-
cause Im out of space.
As always, thanks
for reading!

A SOUND GOES SILENT
Joe Nardones Gallery of
Sound in the Gateway Shop-
ping Center in Edwardsville
has closed, effective Sunday,
Jan. 8; the family had a location
on the West Side for nearly 40
years.
The record industry is
shrinking. Were at a point now
where people are going to have
to drive a little farther to go to a
record store, Joe Nardone Jr.
told The Times Leader last
week.
In the early 2000s, there were
11 Gallery of Sounds throughout
NEPA; today, the Wilkes-Barre,
Wilkes-Barre Twp., Clarks Sum-
mit and Hazleton locations re-
main.
The market cant support
multiple locations any longer,
Nardone told the Weekender
Thursday. Hopefully the change
will make us stronger.
SHAMROCKS
IN SEPTEMBER
The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Shamrocks have pushed back
its inaugural season due to a
pending national television deal
that will be announced in the
coming weeks.
The TV people asked us to
move to the fall, Jim Jennings,
owner of the North American
Lacrosse League team told the
Weekender last week.
The season will begin Sat-
urday, Sept. 15 and run until
mid-December. Jennings stated
that the Thursday, March 15
game against Team Ireland is
still on. The season delay came
alongside a lawsuit filed by
NALL acting commissioner,
Anthony Caruso.
We ended up firing our com-
missioner, and he filed a lawsuit
trying to stay on as commission-
er, Jennings explained. It got
dismissed (Tuesday).
SUSHI ON SOUTH MAIN
Akeno Sushi is scheduled to
open in the spring in the site
formerly occupied by Bonvies
Beefy King (72 S. Main St.,
Wilkes-Barre). The restaurant
will be owned and operated by
husband and wife John and
Teresa Qiu of Nanticoke.
Akeno, John Qiu told The
Times Leader earlier this week,
means bright lights and sun-
shine. He hopes to have a
grand opening in early March
and shared that Akeno Sushi
will be open Monday-Thursday
from 11 a.m.-9:30 p.m., Friday
and Saturday from 11 a.m.-10
p.m., and Sunday from 11:30
a.m.-9:30 p.m.
Qiu said Akeno will be a
different style sushi restaurant
from the long-established Kata-
na in Midtown Village, at the
other end of the block.
We will be more like a New
York City-style restaurant, he
said. Katana is more tradition-
al. We wont have the per-
formance-type hibachi presenta-
tions. he said.
HIT THE SLOPES
The 5th Annual Ski for the
Cure Breast Cancer Aware-
ness Day to benefit the North-
eastern Pennsylvania Affiliate
of Susan G. Komen for the
Cure will be held Saturday, Feb.
25 at Jack Frost Ski Area (1

HONOR ON THE ICE
The Leukemia & Lympho-
ma Society of Eastern Penn-
sylvania will partner with the
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins for an Awareness Night at
the Penguins game with the
Portland Pirates on Saturday,
Feb. 11 at 7:05 p.m.
Chris Kobela, season ticket
sales executive for the Penguins,
will be honored. Kobela was
diagnosed with leukemia as a
teenager and went into remis-
sion after treatment. Unfortu-
nately, the cancer returned late
last year and he is now under-
going chemotherapy and radi-
ation.
A portion of ticket sales from
the game will be donated the
Eastern Pennsylvania chapter.

BABYGOTBACK
Anti-Theft IDBreakthrough:
For people who become stressed
when asked to prove their identi-
ties by biometric scans of finger-
prints, hand prints or eyeballs,
Japans Advanced Institute of
Industrial Technology has devel-
oped a chair frame that authen-
ticates merely by sitting down: A
butt-scanner. Professor Shigeomi
Koshimizus device produces a
map of the users unique derriere
shape, featuring 256 degrees of
pressure at 360 different points
and could be used not only to
protect vehicles fromtheft but
also, when connected to a com-
puter, to prevent log-ons by those
with unauthorized posteriors.
COMPELLING
EXPLANATIONS
-- Imminent Gay Takeovers: (1)
Mayor Jose Benitez of Huarmey,
Peru (population16,000), speak-
ing at the opening of a water
works in November, warned resi-
dents about strontiumin the water,
which he said suppresses male
hormones. He reminded residents
that nearby Tabalosos, which is
lately popular with gays and lesbi-
ans, shares the water supply and
that Huarmey could turn gay, too.
(2) ANovember report by Muslim
scholars at Saudi Arabias highest
religious council (Majlis al-Ifta
al-Aala), presented to the Saudi
legislature, warned that ending the
ban on females driving would
cause a surge in prostitution,
pornography, divorce and, of
course, homosexuality (and the
scholars added that, within10
years, the country would have no
more virgins).
IRONIES
-- Because this past Christmas
fell on a Sunday, nearly one Pro-
testant church in10 in the U.S.
reported having canceled Sunday
services that day out of fear of low
attendance, as parishioners re-
mained at home with family. (The
poll, by Lifeway Research, noted
also that other churches, while not
canceling, had left services to
their second-string clergy.)
-- Sheriffs deputies arrested
novelist Nancy Mancuso Gelber,
53, in December in Bryan, Texas,
after she had allegedly arranged a
hit on her husband. (The hit
man, of course, was an undercov-
er officer.) Gelber said she had
walked in on the husband romanc-
ing with one of her friends, and
the couple was in the process of
divorcing (complicated by his
having removed her fromhis
health insurance just as she was
scheduled for expensive surgery).
Gelber is the author of the 2010
crime thriller, Temporary
Amnesia, and told the hit man
that she was quite familiar with
investigative procedures (though
obviously poor at spotting under-
cover officers).
THELITIGIOUSSOCIETY
-- The two men who heroically
pulled a woman out of a burning
car wreck in 2009, and surely
(according to a highway patrol
officer on the scene) saved her
life, have sued the woman for the
emotional and physical disabil-
ities that resulted fromthe episode
(brought to light in an August
2011Associated Press report).
David Kelley and Mark Kincaid
not only stopped voluntarily to
help, but were the only ones on the
scene capable of pulling the wom-
an to safety. (The fire was so hot
that it melted Kelleys cell phone.)
Kelley said he has suffered serious
breathing problems and cannot
avoid horrific dreams reliving the
episode. The woman, Theresa
Tanner, subsequently admitted
that she deliberately crashed the
car that day in a suicide attempt.
-- Tri-athlete Sabine von Seng-
busch, 46, filed a lawsuit recently
against Meghan Rohan, 28, over a
June bicycle-pedestrian collision
in NewYork Citys Central Park.
Von Sengbusch claims that Rohan
had the audacity to step in front of
her as she was bicycling, causing
her to fall and suffer painful and
permanent injuries. (Although
von Sengbusch said she was in-
side the bike lane at the time,
park officials said signs make
clear that pedestrians have the
right of way at all times.) Von
Sengbuschs permanent injuries
did not prevent her fromcompet-
ing in a triathlon on Oct. 1, in
which she finished second. Ac-
cording to a NewYork Post report
on the lawsuit, Central Park pe-
destrians are growing more vocif-
erous in denouncing bicyclists,
and vice versa.
PEOPLEDIFFERENT
FROMUS
-- Arecent article in the Journal
of Sexual Medicine reported the
painful results obtained by three
Hispanic men incarcerated in the
southwestern United States who
had, for some reason, inserted
specially designed chips, carved
fromdominoes, under the skin of
their penises, apparently based on
a folkloric belief that sexual
performance and virility would
be enhanced. Infections resulted,
requiring major surgery that
was unspecified in the article.
RECURRINGTHEMES
No Individual Mandate: To
meet its municipal budget, the
town of South Fulton, Tenn.,
assessed each residence $75 a
year for firefighting service, but
in the name of liberty gave
people the chance to opt out of
coverage. Vicky Bell chose not to
pay, and when her home caught
fire in December, firefighters
rushed to the scene but only to
be on hand in case the fire spread
to her neighbors, who had paid
their fees. Bells home burned to
the ground as firefighters
watched. (Mayor David Crocker
said a majority of residents had
paid the fee.) W

Retired sheriff Patrick J. Sullivan Jr. was
arrested in November in a suburb of Denver
and charged with distributing
methamphetamine to men in exchange for sex.
Sullivan, who had a distinguished career as
Arapahoe County sheriff, was booked into the
Patrick J. Sullivan Jr. Detention Center,
named for him after he retired in 2002.

Just getting started
After successful pop career, Darius Rucker settles into country
By Bill Thomas
Weekender Correspondent
D
arius Rucker
doesnt mind if
you call him Hoo-
tie. Despite the
fact that his post-
90s solo career has seen him
become one of the most popular
country-music singers touring
today, Rucker is well aware that
some people still know him best
as that guy from Hootie & the
Blowsh.
Its good to know Ive left an
impression, Rucker says with
a chuckle. Its better than not
being remembered at all.
Since his days as a Blowsh,
Rucker has played just about
every kind of venue imaginable,
from large arenas to smaller the-
aters. With that in mind, Rucker
says he enjoys the personable
atmosphere the latter provide
and is looking forward to his
upcoming concert at the F.M.
Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre on
Friday, Jan. 20.
This kind of show is so in-
timate, its great, Rucker says.
You get to see everybody up
close. The whole crowds right
up on top of you. Its really cool
and really laidback. I love it.
Laidback seems an ideal
phrase to describe Rucker
himself. The 45-year-old singer
speaks in a friendly tone and has
a relaxed, roll-with-the-punches
demeanor, which suggests that
this chart-topping hitmaker
hasnt let celebrity go to his
head.
Just the opposite, Rucker says
his successes have done much to
keep him humble. Such suc-
cesses include a pair of Grammy
Awards, which Rucker earned
in 1996 as part of the hugely
popular rock group Hootie & the
Blowsh.
In 2008, Rucker reinvented
himself as a solo country singer.
His album Learn to Live won
both audiences and critics over,
spawning three singles that
went to No. 1 on the Billboard
country-music chart. In 2009,
Rucker subsequently became
the rst black performer to win
the Country Music Associations
NewArtist Award.
Ruckers 2010 follow-up,
Charleston, SC 1966, yielded
two more No. 1 singles and
cemented the singers place in
the current country-music scene.
For Rucker, who professes
a lifelong dream of being a
country-music star, the signi-
cance of his achievements is not
being taken for granted.
More than anything, Im
grateful just to be able to play
music for a living, Rucker says,
acknowledging that the oppor-
tunity to make a career out of an
artistic passion is something not
everyone has the good fortune to
experience.
His gratitude has driven him
to lend his talents to a number of
charities over the years, includ-
ing the MUSC Childrens Hos-

pital Fund, for which Rucker
will perform a benet show
in his hometown of Charles-
ton, S.C., in February. Acts of
altruism such as this, Rucker
explains, are important to him
and are something he actively
pursues.
It comes from how I was
raised, he shares. I just like
helping people.
This year, Rucker plans to
continue making the most of
his blessings. Not only will he
continue touring, Rucker is also
set to perform a free concert in
Indianapolis as part of the Super
Bowl lead-in week festivities.
Most promisingly, Rucker is
working on material for his third
country album, which he ex-

pects will be nished sometime
later this year.
Theres not much I can say
about it yet, he says. We have
a lot of stuff written, but you
dont really know what you
have until you start cutting it to-
gether. I just want to write songs
that people want to listen to. Its
all about the songs.
Laidback as ever, Rucker
shrugs off the notion that hes
already achieved his dream of
country music greatness.
I still have a long way to
go, he says. Hopefully, ve
years from now, Ill look back
and say, I did it, but, for now,
Im just getting started. W

DJ, producer and electronic
dance-music trailblazer Steve Aoki
isnt your traditional musician.
Consistently blurring the lines
between conventional genres, hes
worked with some of the most
influential people in the industry.
With his debut studio album,
Wonderland, he carries on that
custom, giving his diverse musical
palette a place to call home.
The entire albumpulsates with
the kind of energy that could only
come fromsomeone whos pas-
sionate about music, period. Some-
one who doesnt choose to com-
partmentalize styles and tastes, but
uses a gut instinct to create.
Collaborations on Wonderland
are the essence of its charm, run-
ning the gamut fromindie song-
stress Lovefoxxx to rap superstar
Lil Jon. And Aokis partnerships
with Weezers Rivers Cuomo on
Earthquakey People and Earth-
quakey People (The Sequel)
nicely bookend the record, in-
fectiously blending pop, rock and
dance.
Polina Goudieva makes an ap-
pearance on Come With Me
(Deadmeat), an irreverent, youth-
ful burst of adrenaline in an already
rousing lineup. That adrenaline is
the backbone of Wonderland,
running right through the sweetly
deceptive vocals by Wynter Gor-
don on Ladi Dadi to the jagged
rapping on Emergency featuring
Lil Jon and Chiddy Bang.
Steve Jobs, featuring Angger
Dimas, is a fitting tribute to the
technology legend, where vocals
are absent and would be unneces-
sary. Its a provoking ensemble
reminiscent of a vintage video-
game soundtrack synthesized with
caustic electronic notes.
The equally electronic-laced
beats of Heartbreaker, which
puts Lovefoxxx in the vocal spot-
light, is the parallel to The Kids
Will Have Their Say, a dance song
turned on its head courtesy Sick
Boy with former members of The
Exploited and Die Kreuzen.
While each song on Wonder-
land boasts its own individuality,
all of the tracks share the same
intoxicating blend of polish and
edginess. Aoki is a seasoned mix
master, and on Wonderland he
shows he clearly knows not only
howto bring the potency, but how
to wrap it up in a pretty little pack-
age.

Top 10 Local Albums @ Gallery of Sound
For a fleeting second, the latest re-
lease from United Kingdom metal
outfit, The Dead Lay Waiting, sounds
as if it is coming from an entirely
different and somewhat mellow band.
However, the soft instrumental intro on
this one is almost immediately replaced
with the startling guttural growls of
vocalist Luke Lucas, reminding listen-
ers that they are about to embark into
60 minutes of pure sinister-sounding
darkness.
The young bands most recent al-
bum, Almost Heaven, was released in
November via U.K.-based Rising Re-
cords. (It was released in the U.K. in
June.)
To say that The Dead Lay Waiting
which also features guitarists Ben
Connett and Steve Franklin, bassist
Sam Sara and drummer Tom Shrimp-
ton is simply a metal band would
be a gross understatement. There is
something literally frightening about
this bands music. It personifies a
darkness that few metal bands achieve.
The key element behind this darkness
is undoubtedly Lucas vocals. He has
an unbelievably low vocal range that is
downright ominous sounding. His dev-
ilish-sounding lyrics are then backed by
forceful and aggressive instrumentals,
making for a remarkably heavy release.
Almost Heaven is definitely an
album that is for true metal fans. The
Dead Lay Waiting embodies gloom,
and Almost Heaven is no exception
to its propensity to write sinister mu-
sic. Each of this albums 14 tracks is
more extreme than the next, and each
one will definitely leave a lasting im-
pression on the bands fans.

Darkness,
personified
Indie rockers OBrother is the latest in
a long line of bands that feel as though
music is best made with the distortion
turned up and written while one is just a
little bit upset. The Atlanta-based quintet
recently released its first full-length stu-
dio effort, Garden Window; its 11 tracks
are an eardrum-grating journey through a
wide range of human emotions. Taking
cues from the bands forebears from the
worlds of grunge, punk and occasionally
even electronica, OBrother has created
an album well worth exploring.
While some might dismiss Garden
Window as a collection of noisy chaos,
in reality it is a thoughtful and deliberate
use of some of the elements that set rock
music apart from other genres. Whether it
comes at the listener angry and fast (Ma-
lum, Sputnik or Lo) or dramatically
epic (Poison! or Cleanse Me),
OBrothers music sounds the way that it
does for a reason. Every scream, reverber-
ation of the bass or aching note plucked
on the guitar help to create a dynamic feel
throughout the album, changing often but
never straying too far one way or the
other.
Garden Window is powerful and
moving from beginning to end, and with
it, OBrother manages to capture the idea
that it is perfectly all right to not be per-
fectly all right, doing so especially well.
While the music may not be refined
enough for some, many listeners will
appreciate the energy and lack of usual
structure, following the roller coaster of
the bands stream-of-consciousness musi-
cal style.
OBrother definitely has the potential
to appeal to a much broader audience and
is worth keeping an eye on in the future.

noop around the website of
Anthony Raneri, lead singer
of punk-rock band Bayside,
and youll probably come across
some rather eye-catching T-shirts
declaring the slogan, Raneri for
President. He may not be serious-
ly attempting to launch a political
campaign, but who would the
young musician choose to be his
running mate if that were the case?
Ron Paul, he said on a phone
call last week fromhis home in
Queens. There you have it
Thats my dirty secret. Ima punk-
rock Republican.
In reality, Raneri chose the cam-
paign-slogan route because embla-
zoning his name on T-shirts
seemed to himto be an absurdly
weird concept. But with his debut
solo EP, NewCathedrals, hes
proven that hes at least got the kind
of fervent work ethic a campaign
would call for.
Recorded in eight days in Cali-
fornia late last year, the albumis
the first release on Raneris fledg-
ling label, Gumshoe Records,
which he started as a platformfor
producing his solo material. Still,
he noted that hes open to using it
for other opportunities.
It happens all the time, there are
a lot of bands that I see or hear and
Imlike, I need to be involved in
this somehow, he explained. So
I mean, its definitely possible to do
some more stuff. That is kind of
why I decided to go the route of
starting a label for this release and
not just kind of throwing it out
there.
Raneri will make an appearance
Thursday, Jan. 19 at the Sherman
Theater in Stroudsburg as part of
the Wheres the Band? Tour with
the likes of fellowfrontmen Ace
Enders, Chris Conley, Evan Weiss
and Matt Pryor.
Raneri explained that hell be
performing some Bayside tunes,
some covers (which could run the
gamut fromNeil Sedaka to Mandy
Moore) and some pieces fromthe
newrecord, which came about as
an outlet for his varied musical
musings.
Imconstantly writing songs,
almost every day, Raneri ex-
plained in between yawns. And I
had the kind of songs laying
around over the years that just
didnt really get to be on
Bayside records, mainly
because they were different
styles. Theres a couple of
country songs and reggae
songs Some of the songs
on my EP I wrote in 2004,
some of themare ideas that
are even older than that.
If Raneri was feeling a
bit sleepy, it may have
something to do with the
fact that hes been working
himself like crazy, not only
funding the albumbut
literally having a hand in every
single aspect of production and
distribution. And aside fromap-
pearances by musicians Steve
Choi, Davey Warsop and Jarrod
Alexander, he played most of the
instruments on it.
The albumwent out for pre-
order yesterday, and Imhere going
through the orders, starting to
figure out howmany of each thing
I need, he said. And next week,
Ill be actually stuffing everything
into the envelopes and putting
themin the mail.
Ive done the website, the art-
work, the posters, the merch, the
tour, producing the album, having
the albums pressed, the mail order,
every single aspect of this is me.
The title, NewCathedrals, was
inspired by the records artwork,
and is kind of a philosophical
expression of Raneris newly mint-
ed journey.
I was thinking it kind of works,
like NewCathedral, he said.
Imbuilding this kind of new
project, like this is the first release
of a newpath that Imgoing on.

movie review
W
as anyone else under-
whelmed by the trailers
for Contraband? The
previews only served to make the
film resemble a lackluster, made-
for-cable rip-off of Heat; some-
thing so generic and forgettable
that it could only be released
during the cinematic dead zone
that is January. But in an un-
expected development, Contra-
band is nothing like the strictly
by-the-numbers bore youve seen
in the trailers. Sure, its yet anoth-
er movie about a heist gone
wrong, but its so fast paced and
well-executed youll be more
than willing to overlook the fact
that youve seen a film like this
many times before.
Mark Wahlberg, yet again
playing a character so likable
youll almost be able to forget he
was the same horrible asshole
who infected the world with a
rash called Entourage, stars as
Chris Farraday, a man once
known as The Houdini of
Smuggling but in a cheap bit of
irony now runs a home-security
company. Chris past comes back
to haunt him when his useless,
mouth-breathing brother-in-law
(Caleb Landry Jones) dumps an
expensive shipment of drugs into
the ocean during an ill-fated
smuggling run. With his brother-
in-laws as well as his familys
lives in the balance, Chris finds
himself indebted to a cartoonish-
ly weird drug dealer (Giovanni
Ribisi) who strong-arms Chris
into performing one last smug-
gling run to Panama City.
Like many Hollywood remakes
of foreign films, Contraband
(which was based on the Icelan-
dic box-office hit Reykjavik-
Rotterdam) jettisons some of the
grittier and more hopeless ele-
ments of its inspiration (such as
the fact that in the original film
the fate of Kate Beckinsales
character was a little more grim,
and Chris decision to get back
into smuggling had less to do
with his screw-up of a brother-in-
law and more to do with his bleak
financial situation) in favor of
happier, more audience-friendly
plot developments. But in spite of
these obvious and typical exam-
ples of studio tampering, director
Baltasar Kormakur (who also
helmed Reykjavik-Rotterdam)
still manages to give us a simple
but effective action thriller.
As in any heist movie, the most
entertaining elements found in
Contraband come when Chris
carefully executed plans slowly
unravel, and hes forced into
devising a hastily considered
Plan B. Such as that one scene
in which hes coerced into assist-
ing a gang of counterfeiters who,
in their masks made out of duct
tape, violently rob an armored
truck even as half of Panamas
police force opens fire on them.
Apart from Ribisi and a Fogh-
orn Leghorn-esque J.K. Simmons
(as well as his aggressively phony
mustache), who all seemed to
have awkwardly stumbled in
from Friedberg and Seltzers
parody version of Contraband,
the performances are surprisingly
strong and believable, particular-
ly Wahlberg, who is well within
his wheelhouse here as a conflict-
ed working stiff. Even more
surprising is the site of Lukas
Haas who apparently is not dead.
Welcome back Lukas Haas. If
there is one thing America loves,
its someone who is not dead.
At any rate, Contraband is
solid. Its an engaging little sleep-
er that, unfortunately, would have
been overlooked had it been
released during any other time of
the year. Hopefully, unlike other
foreign directors, Kormakurs
promising talents wont be com-
promised by the Hollywood
system.

Reykjavik-Rotterdam.

the
By Ralphie Aversa
Special to the Weekender
I
ts already difficult to keep
track of the different stories
surrounding Blue Ivy Car-
ter, the daughter of Shawn
Jay-Z Carter and Beyonce.
And to think she is not even
two weeks old yet.
Of course, before Blue Ivys
birth, there were a number of
rumors that Beyonce was not
pregnant. Rather, sources
claimed, the power couple had a
surrogate mother in place to
deliver the child. Beyonce and
her camp vehemently shot down
these claims.
Then, the soon-to-be mother
checked in to New Yorks Le-
nox Hill Hospital. Some re-
ports suggest Jay-Z rented out a
floor yes, the entire floor
for more than 1 million dollars.
In a statement from Lenox Hill,
the hospital claims the r&b
singer was placed in an exec-
utive suite and was billed the
normal rate for her stay. Extra
security was staffed, and tape
was used to cover up security
cameras that would have shown
Beyonce or Jay. Families of
other expecting and new moth-
ers complained that the commo-
tion was causing a disturbance
in their own visitation and care
of patients. New York Mayor
Michael Bloomberg said he
felt sympathetic toward the
other families. With the New
York State Health Depart-
ment, the hospital conducted an
internal investigation on the
handling of the celebrity couple
and other patients in the ma-
ternity wing.
Two days after her birth,
Jay-Z released a song with Blue
Ivy on it. On Glory, Blue Ivy
is credited by her initials,
B.I.C. The rapper exudes
happiness over becoming a
father on the track, but also
talks of the couples heartbreak
following a miscarriage. Phar-
rell Williams produced the
song, and Blue Ivys cry is
featured as a sample toward the
end of the track. The record
actually charted, making Blue
the youngest person ever to
reach Billboard.
But wait, theres more. Now
Jay-Z claims that the birth of
his daughter has changed him
so much he will no longer say
bitch in his songs. To me, the
gesture is nice, and I can appre-
ciate the hip-hop moguls new-
found sensitivity toward using a
word which degrades women. I
find it interesting that for the
first 42 years of his life, Hov
had no problem with the word
and has now suddenly changed
his stance if only to protect his
offspring (while disregarding
others), but I wont judge.
A SMOKER LIKE YOU
She was by far the most
successful artist of 2011. Yet
while her talents have separated
Adele from others, her habits
remind us that the superstar is
still human. Despite two proce-
dures to repair vocal-cord dam-
age, Adele still has not quit
cigarettes.
The Someone Like You
singer was recently photo-
graphed in Florida with a new
boyfriend. But Life & Style
Weekly also reported that Adele
could still be seen smoking
away. You would think that this
is against her doctors orders,
especially given the nature in
which Adele uses her pipes.
Multiple sources report Adele
will appear, and possibly per-
form, at this years Grammy
Awards, set for next month in
Los Angeles. The singer re-
ceived six nominations. W

CELEBRITY
EXTRA
By Cindy Elavsky
Although the box-office returns for Dragon
Tattoo arent blockbuster material, you can bet
10,000 kronor that The Girl Who Played with
Fire is indeed in the works, with Daniel Craig and
Rooney Mara set to return, Sony co-chairman Amy
Pascal confrmed. Fire is set for a 2013 release.
Fingers crossed for The Girl Who Kicked the
Hornets Nest.
I loved The Girl With the
DragonTattoo.Are there
plans to flm the second
book in the series? I
hope so! -- Stephanie S.,
Hollywood, Fla.

OS ANGELES There are
better prophets of the Acade-
my Awards than the Golden
Globes last year, the voters in
the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn.
gave their top drama award to The
Social Network, not eventual best
picture Oscar winner The Kings
Speech so everything that the
HFPAdoes (and should) be taken
with a grain of salt.
Thats especially true in the top
categories, where Globes are pre-
sented in drama and musical or
comedy categories, the latter in-
explicably including the not-really-
funny My Week With Marilyn.
That gives the HFPAdoubly good
odds of aligning with the Oscar
winners, yet even that wide net
often misses the mark five years
ago, Dreamgirls won the Golden
Globe for best comedy or musical
and wasnt even nominated for best
picture.
Because Oscar nomination polls
closed Friday, with nominations to
be announced Tuesday, Jan. 24, the
Globes results cannot affect the
shortlist fromthe Academy of
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
That said, Sundays 69th annual
Golden Globes did help clarify
several Oscar races, while confus-
ing a number of others.
Heres one way to read the
HFPAtea leaves:
PICTURE
The top winners at the Golden
Globes The Descendants as
the best drama, The Artist as the
best comedy or musical are now
very much the leading ponies in
what is looking like a two-horse
race. While its apparent that The
Help, Hugo and Midnight in
Paris will be nominated for best
picture (under newrules, the nomi-
nee roster could be as fewas five
movies and as many as 10 this
year), its hard to imagine anything
besides The Descendants or
The Artist winning the most
important Oscar.
DIRECTOR
The HFPApicked Martin Scor-
sese for directing Hugo, marking
the fourth award the veteran film-
maker has received fromthe orga-
nization, but gave the best drama
movie trophy to The Descend-
ants, directed by Alexander
Payne. Its certain Scorsese will be
nominated, as will Payne, Michel
Hazanavicius, who directed The
Artist, and Woody Allen, who
directed (and won a Golden Globe
for writing) Midnight in Paris.
But if the directing Oscar goes to
the maker of the best picture, Scor-
seses name may not be called.
ACTOR
The Golden Globes went to
George Clooney for lead actor
froma drama for The Descend-
ants, and Jean Dujardin for lead
actor in a comedy or musical for
The Artist. Exactly like the best
picture race, its apt to be an Acad-
emy Award race between those two
actors, and nobody else.
ACTRESS
Michelle Williams wasnt in a
strong Golden Globe category,
winning for lead actress in a come-
dy or musical, a field so weak that
not one but two stars (Jodie Foster,
Kate Winslet) fromthe immediate-
ly forgotten Carnage were nomi-
nated. Meryl Streep won the dra-
matic actress trophy for The Iron
Lady, and that seems more obvi-
ous than inspired. Viola Davis
fromThe Help, who was nomi-
nated but didnt win against Streep,
is still running strong in the Oscar
predictions.
ANIMATION
For the past four years, the Gold-
en Globe winner in this category
has repeated at the Kodak Theatre
Toy Story 3, Up, Wall-E,
Ratatouille and thats not
good news for Pixar Animation
Studios, which made those four
winners but did not make Sundays
Golden Globe winner, Tintin,
fromParamount. While the con-
ventional wisdomstill favors Para-
mounts Rango for the Oscar, the
momentumis shifting toward
Tintin.
FOREIGNLANGUAGE
Irans ASeparation already
has collected any number of critics
prizes, and while the Golden
Globes rules dont mirror the
academys, theres little doubt the
drama about a troubled marriage is
the heavy favorite to not only be
nominated for the foreign language
Oscar but also to take the trophy.
SUPPORTINGACTOR&
SUPPORTINGACTRESS
The Golden Globes dont sep-
arate these categories between
dramas and comedies or musicals,
but no matter. Both of Sundays
winners Octavia Spencer in
The Help and Christopher Plum-
mer in Beginners will be
nominated when the Oscars final-
ists are announced in a little more
than a week, and Spencer and
especially Plummer are likely to
take home a statuette Sunday, Feb.

Reading the tea
leaves for the Oscars
By John Horn & Steven Zeitchik
Weekender Wire Services
Did George Clooney clinch a Best Actor Oscar with his
Golden Globe win Sunday night?
novel approach
Y
es, another cable TVicon
has penned a book.
This time, though, its
one worth its salt. In Life Is Not a
Reality Show: Keeping It Real
with the Housewife Who Does It
All, Kyle Richards of Real
Housewives of Beverly Hills
fame sketches the blueprint for a
life fully lived, regardless of the
money one has, and offers a
glimpse behind the glitz and
glamour of her public persona.
Life Is Not a Reality Show is
essentially a mild version of a
self-help book divided into chap-
ters on everything fromdating
advice to style tips and is sprin-
kled with Richards personal
anecdotes. With a gorgeous,
doting husband and four seeming-
ly well-rounded kids, Richards at
least seems to have her stuff to-
gether, so what could it really hurt
to see what she has to offer?
Some may take issue with the
fact that shes on a Bravo televi-
sion show, dismissing her nuggets
of wisdomfor mere pandering to
an audience addicted to super-
ficiality. But that would be un-
fortunate, because once one ac-
cepts Richards offering for what
it is one persons perspective
and insights on life what lies
within is a great deal of sweetly
articulated friendly and motherly
advice.
Its very easy to jump to conclu-
sions about someone based on
very little public knowledge about
them, but Richards is forthcom-
ing about her marriage, relation-
ships and her methods of chil-
drearing, and shes refreshingly
devoid of the very kind of ster-
eotyping naysayers use against
her.
Her voice is one that lacks
condescension, and while Life Is
Not a Reality Show is admittedly
chockfull of estrogen, its also a
delicious little escape, like meet-
ing a good friend for a glass of
wine. Richards isnt pious about
the way she raises her kids, nor
does she pontificate on the myriad
ways to spend unseemly amounts
of money on garbage.
And yes, there is a chapter
dedicated entirely to her hair.
Lets get this out of the way. Its
her signature, and talking about it
is part of the girly-girl nature to
which she prescribes. While it
may sound superficial, its one
small (very fun) bite of an entire
book that is dedicated to the joys
of living positively.
The passages about her mother
are particularly poignant, candid
and sentimental. And theyre easy
for most women, whether simply
a daughter or with children them-
selves, to relate to. Her devotion
to her family, including her moth-
er, her husband, her kids and her
sisters, adds another dimension to
her personality. One wouldnt be
able to fake the love that emanates
fromthe pages of Richards book.
She still has the kind of money
most of us could only dreamof,
but Richards also has substance,
and if a certain level of respect
can be maintained between author
and reader, then Life Is Not a
Reality Show becomes just as
much fun as an episode of Real
Housewives, minus the occa-
sional emotional altercation.

retties For You by Vikki Sin
incorporates a sort of Goth
lifestyle with a girly twist.
Handcrafted jewelry, hair
accessories, dog hair clips and
anything you want custom ordered, Vikki
Sin designs unique fashion for the girl
who desires originality.
WEEKENDER: When did you
launch Pretties For You?
SIN: In early 2010, I rediscovered my
love of creating. I started with painting,
and the hair accessories followed, then
this past year I got into making jewelry
again, which I used to love to do when I
was young. I just had a series of events
that caused me to be able to focus on
myself and reconnect with all the things
I used to be so into. I was listening to
Alice Cooper one night when I was
making things, so the name Pretties For
You came easily, and I decided to make it
a business.
WEEKENDER: What made you
want to start designing your own
accessories?
Pretties add a little punch
to your collection
SIN: I had always wanted to be a
fashion designer, but Im not the greatest
with a sewing machine. I started making
hair Pretties because I was always
wearing ones from Hot Topic and places
like that, and I thought I could make way
better ones that no one else would have.
Individuality is important to me.
WEEKENDER: How do you
come up with the designs?
SIN: Most of it just comes to me, or
Ill see things that inspire certain designs.
I work in a tattoo shop, so youll see a lot
of inuence from classic tattoo designs.
Alot of Pretties are custom made, so my
customers give me great ideas. I recently
made little top hats for a friend and her
daughter for New Years and they turned
out so well that I want to make a whole
line of them.
WEEKENDER: What materials
do you use for your pieces?
SIN: I use a lot of different materials.
I love to use random objects, like
antique skeleton keys from creepy
little antique stores or old buttons. But
lately Im really into making my own
accoutrements out of polymer clays and
resins, which allows me to be as creative
as possible.
WEEKENDER: How would you
describe your style?
SIN: Its like rock chic. Im an old
school Goth chick, and I live a very
rock n roll lifestyle, so its a mix of
the two, really. My pieces can take you
from a formal function to a Motley Crue
concert. And they often do.
WEEKENDER: What are some of
your hottest sellers?
SIN: My hair daisies go over really
well, probably because any lady loves a
ower. My necklaces are starting to take
off, especially the music-themed ones.
I had an order from a friend to make a
pendant with artwork from The Used and
all of a sudden, everyone wanted one.
WEEKENDER: Who is your
target audience?
SIN: Most of my customers are
females, naturally, and most of them
are in their 20s and 30s. My youngest
customer is my friends daughter
Morgen, whos 10, and she adores
Pretties. Its so great that people like
what I do and buy my designs and help
me promote. Im really, really thankful
for it, and it keeps me going. My
customers mean the world to me. Im a
big believer in supporting local arts and
businesses. We should all be helping
each other.
WEEKENDER: Where can
people purchase Pretties For You
originals?
SIN: I have an Etsy store (etsy.
com/shop/PrettiesForYouShop), and
I also sell them at Bettie & Co. (12
E. Sixth St., Wyoming) and Conict
Artistry (502 Main St., Edwardsville).
People can like my Facebook page
to keep tabs as well, facebook.com/
PrettiesForYouAccessories. Im hoping
to expand to boutiques in Philadelphia
and New York in the very near future. W
Goth goes girly thanks to Vikki Sins Pretties For You.

L
ittle Theatre of Wilkes-
Barre delivers a blast from
the past in its production of
Forever Plaid, a musical that
will premier Saturday, Jan. 21.
The comedic play is based on
a barbershop quartet who, while
on its way to pick up plaid suits
for their first big gig, is hit by a
bus full of virgins traveling to
see The Beatles perform.
After the singers are whisked
off to heaven, they are granted
one wish, which is to live again
to perform their big show. The
only catch is that these 50s
crooners are sent back into the
future and dont realize how
nostalgic their music is.
These four lovable, nerdy guys
are played by David Baker, Ke-
vin Holbert, T.J. Major and Dave
Mitchell. The four get together in
a plumbing supply store to prac-
tice their tunes in a time period
where music was changing.
The cast is charming to work
with and are wonderfully talent-
ed, said Joseph Sheridan, the
shows director. The four guys
performing have a really tight
harmony; they are exactly on
key, cant miss a note and work
really hard at their job.
Baker, a graduate student at
Misericordia University who
performed in Forever Plaid
over the summer, plays the role
of Jinx. He explained his charac-
ter is the shy baby brother of the
group and needs the other guys to help him come out of his
shell.
I like that the show has an
innocence to it, which you dont
see very often, Baker said. The
music is fun, but difficult its
the most difficult show Ive done
musically.
The cast rehearses seven days
a week for three hours a day.
The hours are long, but its
fun every night, shared Baker.
The cast is great, everyone is
very outgoing, and we have a
blast. Its great.
Joseph Bauman, LTWBs
marketing director, agreed.
I think the show is hip, its
funny, and youll really laugh. W
Forever Plaid, Jan. 21, 27, 28, 8 p.m.; Jan. 22, 29, 3 p.m.,
Little Theatre of Wilkes-Barre (537 N. Main St., Wilkes-Barre.)

ANUNQUENCHABLE
PURSUIT
When you think of a
sommelier, do you automat-
ically picture a stodgy wine
aficionado snootily swir-
ling a glass carrying on
about legs, oaks and berry
hints? Its probably an im-
age that also comes to mind
when thinking of a wine
writer, especially one who
has received four James
Beard Foundation Jour-
nalismAwards, whose
e-newsletter is read by more
than125,000 people and
whose print columns reach
1.5 million readers.
But not so with Natalie
MacLean, a certified som-
melier for 15 years and the
editor of nataliemaclean-
.com, one of the largest
wine websites. Shes also
the author of the newbook,
Unquenchable: ATipsy
Quest for the Worlds
Best Bargain Wines.
I knewthat if I were
going to write a book about
wine, it had to have enter-
taining stories, MacLean
told me last week fromher
home in Ottawa. That was
my No. 1goal, to entertain people,
and when you finish the book, you
go, Wow, I learned a lot about
wine.
MacLean didnt just travel to
find the best, most affordable
wines, but to also look behind the
bottles.
Theres quite a story, I think, in
the people who make wine, she
shared. Where did they come
from, why did they want to make
wine, whats it like?
To find out, she visited wine-
makers in eight regions across the
globe, fromSicily to Canada and
South Africa to Argentina.
I believe theres only so much
you can say about wine its red,
its white, its wet, whatever
you can get into the fruit-salad
school of description, but youll
just lose people after the fifth type
of berry, MacLean explained.
Behind every bottle, there is a
story. Astory about a person and a
place.
In Unquenchable, she shares
those stories in her affable, con-
versational tone with nary a pre-
tentious word. In fact, each chap-
ter, which covers three wineries in
a particular region, closes with a
section called Field Notes from
a Wine Cheapskate.
Wine doesnt have to be ex-
pensive to taste great, MacLean
said, summing up the books
thesis. Theres a lot of stigma and
snobbery associated to wine, and
one of the biggies is price, that
only expensive wines are good.
But there are so many good to
great wines available in the liquor
store today between $10-$15 that
are amazing.
At first, MacLean thought
about writing about the worlds
greatest wines, which in turn
would also mean the most expen-
sive.
I thought, Well, all seven of us
who would read that book could
get it and drink Chateau
dYquem, she stated, citing a
pricy wine fromthe Sauternes,
Gironde region in southwestern
France. But I thought that most
people like me live on a budget,
and the reality is that we want it
all: We want great taste, but we
dont want to spend a lot for it, so
my quest then became to find the
most obsessive-compulsive wine-
makers in the most intriguing,
beautiful settings who make
wines that taste twice as
expensive as they cost.
MacLean, who also
penned 2006s Red,
White, and Drunk All
Over, offers a free mobile
app, which allows people
to snap pictures of bottle
bar codes, get tasting
notes, search wines and
more.
Most of our wine deci-
sions are made outside the
home were either in a
liquor store or at a restau-
rant looking at a list, and I
think mobile apps are
ideally suited for the wine
category, she said.
Theres been136,000
downloads, and its prob-
ably the largest source now
of people discovering my
website.

tech talk
By Nick Delorenzo
Y
ou can get a lot done by
waving your arms around
these days. Motion-sensi-
tive gesture control, the tech-
nology that makes it possible, has
been in the video-game market
for a while and is now being
adapted to other uses.
Take the Xbox Kinect, for
example. Simply speaking, it
uses an infrared projector cou-
pled with a camera to generate a
3-D picture of whatever it hap-
pens to be pointed at (usually the
player) and then uses high-end
motion-capture software to in-
terpret what its seeing.
Players can control the games
using only the movements of
their bodies.
Kinect uses common USB
connectors to plug into an Xbox,
and its also compatible with
PCs. Since Microsoft made the
Kinect software relatively acces-
sible, it wasnt long before in-
novators began developing their
own uses for the technology.
People have improvised loads
of practical adaptations, includ-
ing the ability to control comput-
ers and software with gestures
alone no keyboard, mouse or
touch-screen required.
Demonstrations of similar
technology have started to pop up
in all sorts of places since Kinect
was released.
Auto manufacturers have dem-
onstrated how vehicle controls
can be operated by hand motions
and makers of surgical equip-
ment have done the same.
In general, I think this is an
impressive technology with huge
potential, both in and out of
entertainment. The one downside
with motion control versus
touch-screen controls or even a
good old-fashioned keyboard and
mouse is that the sort of motions
required for typing, tapping and
clicking are generally fairly deci-
sive and result from contact with
a physical object.
Gestures are another matter
entirely, subject to unconscious
cues, cultural factors, mood,
injuries and so on. Imagine if 20
years from now theyre using this
technology to fly planes and
someone gets a shoulder cramp.
Despite that drawback, you can
probably imagine that motion
tracking, combined with 3-D or
virtual-reality technology, could
be used to create a completely
immersive environment without
the drawback of needing a key-
board, mouse or game controller
to provide interaction. As for the
Kinect itself, you can probably
live without one for now, but it,
or something like it, will prob-
ably be essential in a few years.
Do I think that the technology
will continue to take off? Abso-
lutely. Would I use it to make a
plane take off? Probably not. W

interactive and new media for

Kinect-ing to something more
Since Kinect software is relatively accessible,
innovators began developing their own uses for the
technology.

burns. He also suffers from a Broken Hip and Broken Spine. He has undergone many surgeries already
including skin graphing on most of his body and bone placements and is facing amputations as the
burns are so severe. He is fighting very hard to survive. The medical bills continue to pile up. His family
has to commute an hour and a half to and from every day just to be by his side as he fights for his life, as
well as pay for accommodation, food, necessities, and travel expenses.
Entertainment by: SUZE, LASER SEX, DESUADO & DJ OHM
Food/pasta buffet donated by the River Street Jazz Cafe
Raffles and great prizes donated from local businesses
All proceeds will go to the medical expenses of Donald Murray and his family.
A benefit for Donald Murray, Holly Ivanitch, and Family

just for the
health of it
By Tim Hlivia
G
etting a great tip
is an incredible
thing. And in my
opinion, savvy fitness
tips that infuse confi-
dence and know-how
are the best kinds. Be-
coming fit isnt about
walking into a gym
with a hit-it-and-quit-
it approach; it takes
much more than that.
Its about introducing
and embracing lifestyle
habits. Some of the
fittest people I know
have adopted lifestyle
habits that would make
even Jack LaLanne
proud. Adding bits of
exercise here and there
sounds tiring, but its actually
more practical and more
beneficial than you think.
Many of us spend the ma-
jority of our day at work.
Research says that having a
desk job can shorten your
lifespan (scary thought,
right?). And while you may
not be able to fit a treadmill
inside your cubicle, you can
still get in some quality fit-
ness while on the clock.
For starters, walk as often
as possible park deep in
the end zone of the parking
lot instead of finding the
closest spot, forego the eleva-
tor, and take the stairs if your
office has an option to do so.
Be creative. Occasionally
swap that uncomfortable desk
chair for a stability ball. And
one of my personal favorite
on the job fitness tips:
Every 30 minutes take five
and do 10. This means, every
half hour, take five minutes
to do a new activity. While
your boss may question why
you are doing squats or push-
ups in your office, he or she
may be willing to overlook
this especially because youre
not playing solitaire, again!
And when the work day is
finished? Think outside the
box. Traditional exercise rou-
tines may be comforting, but
non-linear fitness is more
fun. Toss the medicine ball,
hit the heavy bag like Rocky
Balboa or engage in some
type of partner drill. When
getting to the gym isnt an
option, bypass the snow
thrower and use a shovel,
take the dog for a walk or
see how many pushups you
can fit into a 30-second com-
mercial break during your
favorite show.
Trying to squeeze in time
for exercise can be daunting
and may even seem impos-
sible for some. After all,
many of us have deadlines to
meet, commitments to keep
and a laundry list of things
that fall higher on our to-
do lists than working out.
The reality is there are many
subtle ways to burn extra
calories throughout the day.
Ultimately, incorporating
these modest additions to
everyday life add up to big
changes over time. W

Getting in shape is all about
introducing and embracing
lifestyle habits, including adding
in some exercise to otherwise
sedentary activities.
bitch & brag
By Jeff and Amanda of 98.5 KRZ
Amandas Bitch:
I absolutely dread the ding of
my gas light coming on this
time of year. Nasty weather is
bad enough to drive in, but then
having to stand out in the whip-
ping wind, freezing rain and
bitter cold to score some fuel is
just torture. Thats bad enough
as it is, but Ive found a new
reason to hate pumping gas in
the winter: The freaking ques-
tionnaire were forced to com-
plete before paying at the
pump.
I swipe my card and pay for
everything else just fine, but
these gas folks feel the need to
make you enter your zip code
now? Dont you realize my face
is about to freeze in the frus-
trated expression its currently
in, and my hands are so cold
that they are starting to tingle
and actually beginning to feel
hot? First, in order to pay at the
pump, you had to choose credit
or debit. Totally understandable
question, and thank you for
giving me the choice. Then,
youre asked if youre going to
want a receipt at the end of
your transaction. No, but thank
you again for asking. One of
the newest questions you must
answer at most pumps before
being allowed to start pumping
is if you have a loyalty card.
For the love of God, no, and
Im not interested in carrying
yet another store card around,
thank you.
The latest demand which
irritates me the most, especially
while Im standing like a fool at
the pump in disgusting weather
conditions is please enter
your zip code. Why? Thats
just more buttons between me
and getting the gas going.
I use my card for every pur-
chase I make, every day, and no
one else asks me for my zip
code! There are certain gas
stations that I try to avoid be-
cause the number of questions
they ask you before youre
allowed to pump is just ridicu-
lous. Why can we just swipe a
card in a store and buy our
items, but at gas stations youre
required to stand there answer-
ing questions forever (some-
times the machines are slow, it
certainly feels like forever) just
to make a purchase. Im sure
the gas people will claim its
security precautions or some-
thing lame like that, but like I
said, if I go into your mini-mart
20 feet away and purchase a
drink, youre not going to ask
me for my zip code on that
transaction, so what gives?
Phew, Im glad I got that off
my chest. In New Jersey, all of
the gas stations are full service.
I wonder if they have to push
all of these buttons before fuel-
ing up?
Jeffs Brag:
Could this be the year we win
and winter loses? Its looking
that way, and it warms me just
thinking about it. Like millions
of northbound Americans, I
hate winter. Never liked it,
except as a kid, and the sensa-
tion of flying down a snowy hill
on a metal saucer outweighed
the loss of sensation in my toes.
But as I got older, I simply
hated being cold. So this is
usually the time I dread; the
excitement of Christmas is over,
and it seems like such a long,
uneventful stretch until April
and May when the earth seems
to slowly come back to life.
But this year, I laugh in the
face of winter! In my mind, we
have already passed the halfway
point since I consider winter to
be December, January and
February rather than the chron-
ological dates. And look, were
banging out 40 degree days on
a regular basis. And snow?
Remember that frozen white
crap we normally have to re-
move from our driveways? And
those frigid mornings when
wed have to scrape our wind-
shields just to see from inside
our mobile igloo? Geez, I dont
even know where my scraper is
(I usually end up using a credit
card anyway, they work awe-
some in a pinch).
Plus add in a few modern
touches like a car starter, and
its almost like you dont need
to experience winter at all. Just
look out your window occasion-
ally and utter profound com-
ments like, Boy it looks cold
out there.
Of course, I am probably
upsetting the delicate balance
of nature simply by bragging
what a lame-ass winter were
enjoying. But since I cant con-
trol weather anymore than the
guys on TV can predict it, Im
not going to sweat it. You know,
Ive never understood why
WNEP-TV makes the weather
guessers stand outside in its
backyard. Do they think we
dont believe them when they
say its snowing? I know, lets
show them shaking and freez-
ing! Well, this winter, Tom
Clark may not even get the
chance to show off his full
arsenal of really cool hats
and thats another thing we can
be thankful for! W
Hear Jeff and Amanda Bitch
& Brag Fridays at 3:30 p.m. on
98.5 KRZ.
Amanda isnt too happy about the hoops she now has to
jump through at the gas station.

but then again ...
By Jim Rising
During Bill Clintons suc-
cessful 1992 presidential cam-
paign against George H. W. Bush,
the phrase Its the economy,
stupid was widely used.
If Barack Hussein Obama II
has a sign in the oval office it
should say, Its the stupid econo-
my, and folks, its getting worse.
Three recent events hit close to
home in Dallas. The big multina-
tional-owned Offset Paperback
Manufacturers turned the page on
69 employees. Friendlys restau-
rant made its last happy ending
sundae, and in Edwardsville, the
Gallery Of Sound took the needle
off the record.
The Friendlys closing was a
shock to some, but the parent
company has been in Chapter 11
since October of last year. Seems
there was just not enough profit
in Supermelts and Fribbles to
keep the wolf from the door.
Friendlys joins two other pretty
big restaurants in the Back Moun-
tain, the Mark II and the Dough
Company in closing. When peo-
ple dont have jobs, its pretty
tough to get them to eat out.
And 69 workers at Offset Pa-
perback will be in that unhappy
situation pretty damn quick. A
statement from Offset says the
company will lay off the workers
on Friday, Jan. 27. The company
makes 350 million paperback
books a year, but officials say
e-readers, such as the Kindle and
Nook are doing them in. So this
whole digital thing was a com-
plete surprise to the owners, the
Bertelsmann AG group? In-
teresting, because the same com-
pany owns TV and radio stations
and certainly should have seen
the light approaching as a train
and not the end of the tunnel. Go
figure.
The Gallery of Sound had a
store in Dallas, and they had 11
stores once, but the bad news is
only four stores remain in down-
town Wilkes-Barre, Wilkes-Barre
Twp., Dickson City and Hazleton.
The good news is the fact that any
locations remain open at all.
Gallery of Sound owners saw the
oncoming digital train, made the
appropriate survival moves, tough
as they were, and survived.
I hate to point this out but the
owners of Offset Paperback had
the same warning. Heres hoping
they make the right choices and
we dont have another empty
building. In the world now its
adapt or die, and I fear that spells
doom for many. Its a digital
world, and until the power goes
out forever or the Internet goes
down completely under the
weight of spam for male-en-
hancement products, its just
going to be more so.
But hey, thanks for reading this
dead-tree publication. W
Reach Jim at
contact@jamesrising.com. Even
more rants are on his blog,
updated every day that ends in
y at jamesrising.com.
Adapt or die
Sadly, this is a sign that is being seen all too often
around NEPA these days.

sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
F
or some reason when I was
in my early twenties, I
lacked the artistry of pick-
ing up on red flags. Example:
If you accept a communion wafer
from someone dressed as a nun
on Halloween, you may need an
antibiotic for 10 days. Or, if you
go to a psychic who places rock
candy in your palms, her prophe-
sies might not come true.
The ultimate red flag I missed
is that if you give your roommate
money toward the rent and they
return two hours later with a
Crown Royal bag full of ecstasy
pills, they probably didnt give
the money to the leasing office.
Sure I thought it was odd that
the apartment I lived in when I
started my internship at Jimmy
Kimmel Live! was occupied by
a struggling Korean actor, his
unemployed immigrant sidekick,
a UCLA athlete, a married army-
vet in a bi-coastal marriage and a
teenage runaway, but Ive always
been the type to embrace diversi-
ty.
I really thought they were
harmless, even if some of them
used debit cards with different
names labeled on them.
Then, after an unconventional
wake-up call, their odd behaviors
began to add up.
Why you no pay rent?
screamed a Korean woman in my
face, as I woke up to a deflating
air mattress and three generations
of immigrants standing before
me.
Mom, Im so sorry!
screamed the struggling Korean
actor in tears. Hes the reason
theyre evicting us! Ive been
supporting Justin for the past six
months, trying to get him off
drugs, instead of paying my
rent!
My jaw dropped. We were
getting evicted because my
roommate was using his rent
money and the money from all
his boarders to feed his drug
habit and was blaming it on me.
Ive only lived with you for
the past three weeks, you crazy
son-of-a-bitch! I shouted in
defense.
Dont you lie to my Mamma,
boy! he cried.
His family then started to
shout at me in Korean. I wasnt
sure if they were putting a voo-
doo spell on me or not, but real-
ized I had to get out of there
ASAP before things escalated.
With their chanted yelling
blasting in my ears, I gathered
my belongings and bolted.
I was left sitting in a parking
lot with two stuffed suitcases, a
pillow and a deflated air mat-
tress. I was homeless in Holly-
wood, uncertain of what to do
next. But as always, I figured
something out ... W
Homeless in
Hollywood
Justins thieving roommate cast him out into the street
instead of fessing up to his mistakes.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Going it alone is noble and brave, but in
this case totally unnecessary. Whats your
goal here, to be a martyr or actually ac-
complish what youre looking to do? If
you just want people to feel bad for you
when you (probably) fail, continue on as
you have. But if youd rather get to where
youre going, its time to find some allies
who can help you on your way and share
in the joy (and spoils) of success. Thats a
rewarding end, and incidentally much
more fun than the path youre on. Pursue
it.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
People make all sorts of zany excuses
for their bad or weird behavior. Because
youre so quirky and open-minded, your-
self, youll often simply accept these at
face value, no questions asked. In this
case, however, questions really should be
asked. Its time to put aside your dislike of
(potential) confrontation, and steel your-
self to demand some honest answers. Put
on your most skeptical thinking cap and
reflect on how things really arent adding
up, then work on getting to the real story
because otherwise the person losing the
most in this equation will be you.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
Sometimes we dont know just how
weird we are until someone else holds up
a mirror or provides a new perspective on
our actions as is likely to happen to you
this week. It only then becomes obvious
just how odd we all are, but its a thing to
be celebrated, not be ashamed about. Your
eccentricities are precisely what make you
interesting. Learning you have one or two
more than you thought is awesome, not
terrible, news. Being normal is a myth,
and a horribly boring one at that. Be glad
you dont remotely qualify. The rest of us
(the interesting ones who matter, anyway)
certainly are.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
People are designed to screw up
ideally more so when were young and less
so when we get older, sure, but since mis-
takes are the best way to learn, we should
hope we never stop making them on a
pretty regular basis. If youre not screwing
up, its because youre not taking enough
risks or challenging yourself enough.
Excelling at being stuck in a rut isnt a
great place to be. This week, see what you
can do to start making more mistakes
and thus learning and growing more.
Dont be afraid to fail its all part of the
process.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
When what you have to offer is rejected,
its almost always because you just werent
offering it to the right person. Theres no
need to feel too awful about that. However,
its good to occasionally check in and
make sure that what youre really putting
out there is as wonderful and desirable as
you think it is. Look at the whole package,
and try to imagine how you stack up com-
pared to whatever else your intended re-
cipient(s) might encounter, not so you can
feel bad, but so you can, if necessary,
sweeten the deal. It might not currently be
as sweet as you think.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
Remember, some people have no lives
to speak of. They have plenty of time to
waste on truly ridiculous or pointless stuff,
much of which may turn out to be ex-
tremely aggravating or time consuming for
you. Theres not much you can do about
this kind of thing, because really any ener-
gy you throw toward the situation will
only be fuel for the fire, and make matters
worse. Be thankful you have a life, and try
to let all these annoyances roll off your
back whilst you go about living it. Eventu-
ally these particular sources of stress will
fade away. Theyll be replaced by new
ones, surely but your practice dealing
with these, now, will serve you well, later.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
Even when youre not saying no, voic-
ing anything negative can often be heard
as a no, anyway, because so many people
are (unfortunately) naturally inclined to
assume the worst. It makes you occasion-
ally reluctant to voice your concerns be-
cause theyll be taken to mean much more
than youre saying, when theyre really all
there is. That shouldnt deter you, though,
since those concerns are mostly valid and
worth discussing. However, practicing
ways of telling people whats on your
mind without them flipping out or feeling
rejected is probably a very good idea
and this is a great week to do exactly that.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
Stay classy, Virgo. Even if youre sorely
tempted to spar with the catty people in
your life and show them just how cruelly
sharp your tongue can be, escalating nega-
tivity right now (or anytime, really) isnt in
your best interest. Winning a verbal fenc-
ing match (as you almost certainly would)
might be momentarily satisfying, but
ultimately pointless and possibly highly
detrimental to your long-term happiness
and wellbeing. Interestingly, something
thatd really rub them the wrong way is
simply being cordial and excusing your-
self, demonstrating just how unruffled you
are by their crappy comments. This week,
try that.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Whenever you put something out into
the world for the first time, something
thats really important to you, its natural to
feel a bit scared and vulnerable. That
anxiety shouldnt keep you from doing it,
though. Dont let your understandable cold
feet keep you from taking the risk in front
of you and letting people judge for them-
selves what they think about it. Sure, some
probably wont like it or see it the way you
do; thats par for the course. Im betting
that more will enjoy or appreciate what
you have to offer than you think, and that
the good that comes your way as a result
will outweigh the bad by at least three to
one. Go for it, already.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
We already know youre so cool you
wear sunglasses at night, and youre amaz-
ing in every way. Heres the problem: That
doesnt make you particularly approach-
able. Since you really want to be ap-
proached right now, you need to make an
effort to show off your dorkier side, be
more vulnerable and let mere mortals
realize that youre not some awesome sex
god (even if you secretly are), but just a
human being. That doesnt mean censor-
ing yourself or pretending to be less awe-
some than you are, just showing off some
of your flaws and needs, too. Ironically,
theyll make you much more attractive,
not less.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Youre always in favor of telling the
truth but surely youve noticed that hon-
esty is not always the best policy? It some-
times causes a lot more suffering and
trouble than its worth. Obviously, being
forthright should still be your M.O., but in
some rare cases, keeping a secret is better
for all concerned. If doing so will spare
feelings and not cause any serious harm,
then you must resist your natural urges to
blurt out the truth and keep your mouth
shut this time around. No one would thank
you for spilling the beans, so why dont
you try locking this one in the vault for
once?
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
Facebook stalking someone youre
interested in is generally considered to be
a mostly accepted moral gray area. How-
ever, going beyond that is still crossing a
line that ought to be respected. Youre
probably sorely tempted to violate bound-
aries this week, but you must resist that
temptation. Since you cant unlearn what-
ever you discover, and you cant mention it
(because that would expose your egregious
nosiness), its probably better to mind your
own business and wait until information is
proffered freely. If theres something you
simply must know now, I suggest finding
out the old-fashioned way: Ask. W
