Letter from the editor
I
first heard about Pecha
Kucha in October, when my
boyfriend gave a speech
using the speaking format at his
alma mater, the Pratt Institute
in Brooklyn, at an alumni so-
cial-media event. Neither of us
had heard of Pecha Kucha be-
fore the events facilitator ex-
plained it to him (and to be
honest, the first thing I pictured
was the Pikachu Pokemon).
Basically, Pecha Kucha has
presenters talking about 20
slides for 20 seconds apiece for
a total of six minutes and 40
seconds.
Developed by two Tokyo
architects in 2003 who hoped to
make their contemporaries (and
themselves) less longwinded
during lectures, the format has
really taken flight across the
globe. Itll make its NEPA
debut with Scrantons Pecha
Kucha Night Saturday, Jan. 28
at The Vintage Theater.
Having seen some really cool
presentations at Pratt in-
cluding ones from a stuffed-
animal designer, Clean House
New York host Nina Ferrer
and, coincidentally, a New
York-based architect I can
say that Pecha Kucha is a really
innovative technique and worth
checking out. Brad Peniston,
who developed Pecha Kucha
Night Philadelphia, worked with
Mandy Boyle of Solid Cactus
to get the Scranton event off
the ground, and they have a
varied slate of presenters on
board for Saturday. Find out
who and more about Pecha
Kucha on pages 14-15.
Also in this weeks issue,
Extremely Loud & Incredibly
Close did not sit well with
correspondent Pete Croatto (p.
26), despite the films Best
Picture Oscar nomination. In
Novel Approach, Kacy Muir
highly recommends Penelope
Livelys recent novel, How It
All Began (p. 31), while Ste-
phanie DeBalko shared a few
laughs with Kathleen Madigan,
who makes a stop at the F.M.
Kirby Center Friday, Jan. 27.
Read more about the comedian
on p. 71 just across from
the Model of the Week.
Thats all Ill tell you now, so
off you go to turn pages.
Thanks for reading!

Tell @wkdr
what you
would rather
do
Speak in front of people.
I would rather speak in a public
bathroom with my shoes on.
Speak in public. Absolutely speak in public
the other is just plain gross.
Speak in public. I almost never
walk barefoot.
Neither unless alcohol is
involved!
Walk barefoot. Id rather get some
kind of unshakable disease than get
hives and sweat stains in front of a
room full of people.
Though Id be a stuttering pile
of nerves, speak; my feet are
itching just thinking about being
bare in a public bathroom.
Would you rather speak in public or
walk barefoot in a public bathroom?

KIRBY FREEBIES
As part of its 25th anni-
versary season celebration, the
F.M. Kirby Center (71 Public
Square, Wilkes-Barre) will
offer three free events to say
Thank you to the community.
First up are screenings of
Sleepless in Seattle, the
1993 hit featuring Meg Ryan
and Tom Hanks, on Saturday,
Feb. 11 at 2 and 8 p.m. The
Goonies follows on Saturday,
March 31 (2 and 6:30 p.m.)
Fred Garbos Inflatable Thea-
ter wraps up the free program-
ming Saturday, May 19 at 2
p.m.
Garbos live stage perform-
ance begins when a 10-foot
cylinder slithers onto the stage
and implodes, spreading giant
inflatable props into the crowd.
These blow-up shapes inflate
and deflate into a bright array
of colors, as more inflatable
objects roll across the stage
and into the audience, allowing
everyone to play along. This
fast-paced, energetic show
promises to captivate the whole
family. During this perform-
ance, the Kirby Center will
also celebrate its Silver Anni-
versary by raffling off a two-
year lease on a silver 2011
Honda Civic EX sponsored by
MotorWorld.
All three performances are
general admission, and ad-
vanced tickets are not required.
Doors open one hour prior to
show time. For more info, visit
kirbycenter.org or call
570.826.1100.

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
SLIDING INTO HOME
Traditional bridge replace-
ment on as prominent a high-
way as Interstate 15 in Mes-
quite, Nev., has generally re-
quired rerouting traffic for as
long as a year, but the new
accelerated technology in
January necessitated detours for
less than a week. Excited engi-
neers traveled in from around
the country to watch the old
bridge be demolished and the
new one (which had been built
on a platform off to the side)
be slid into place using hydrau-
lic jacks and Teflon-coated
metal beams lubricated with
Dawn dishwashing detergent to
glide them smoothly into the
old frame. The Nevada Depart-
ment of Transportation estimat-
ed that the accelerated process
saved commuters about $12
million in time and fuel costs.
THE ENTREPRENEURIAL
SPIRIT!
-- (Our critics) are absolute-
ly right. We are professional
liars, said Everett Davis, foun-
der of the Internet-based Refer-
ence Store, which supplies
pumped-up, but false, resumes
for job-seekers having trouble
landing work. Davis and associ-
ates are, he told Houstons
KRIV-TV in November, ex-
investigators schooled in decep-
tion and therefore good at fool-
ing human resources personnel
who follow up on the bogus
work claims. Davis admitted he
would even disguise a custom-
ers past criminal record but
not if the job is in public safe-
ty, health care or schools.
-- Veterinary technician and
food blogger Lauren Hicks
recently inaugurated service on
what is surely one of the few
food trucks in the country ca-
tering exclusively to dogs. She
parks her Sit n Stay Pet
Cafe a retrofitted mail
truck in downtown Winter
Park, Fla., on Thursday nights
(according to an October Orlan-
do Sentinel report), serving
gourmet organic snacks like the
Poochi Sushi (jerky), Ruff-in
muffins, and Mutt-balls and
Grrr-avy, among other spe-
cialties.
CUTTING-EDGE SCIENCE
-- Medical Marvels (Canine
Edition): The Dogs Trust in
Kenilworth, England, was solic-
iting potential homes in Decem-
ber for Bentley, a Border
Collie whose monophobia
might make it what the Daily
Mail calls the most cowardly
dog in the country. While frisky
around people, Bentley immedi-
ately goes into a frightened sulk
when left alone, cowering from
cats, holing up behind a couch,
and constantly biting his nails,
even at the sound of a cat on
television. (Bentley was recently
outfitted with special lace-up
booties to preserve the nails.)
POOR ANGER
MANAGEMENT
(1) Janet Knowles, 62, was
arrested in January in Jupiter,
Fla., for aggravated assault after
allegedly bludgeoning her
housemate, 65, with a hammer
as they watched television. The
victim said only that Knowles
was upset with Judge Judy.
(2) Michael Monsour, the for-
mer CEO of Monsour Medical
Center in Jeannette, Pa., was
charged with assaulting his
brother, Dr. William Monsour,
in their fathers home on New
Years Eve. In an argument,
Michael allegedly bit Williams
nose so hard that he required
cosmetic surgery. (Michaels
temper remained untempered.
The next day, according to
police, Michael sent William an
e-mail threatening to beat him
into blood pudding.)
LEAST COMPETENT
CRIMINALS
-- Need Time in the Gym:
(1) According to police in Bel-
lingham, Wash., William Lane,
22, had yelled slurs at a lesbian
couple in the early morning of
Dec. 11 and smashed the car
window of one of the women,
but she immediately chased him
down, tackled him and held
him until help arrived. (2) An-
thony Miranda, 24, was arrested
and charged with armed rob-
bery in December in Chicago
after unknowingly choosing as
his victim an ultimate fight-
ing champion. The victim
gave Miranda two black eyes
and a heavily lacerated face,
and, as Miranda drew his gun,
overpowered him in such a way
that Miranda wound up shoot-
ing himself in the ankle.
UPDATE
Prominent novelist Michael
Peterson was convicted in 2003
of beating his wife to death
with a fireplace poker, but he,
assisted by a former neighbor,
has maintained since then that
she was killed by a rogue owl.
In 2008, for the first time,
North Carolina state investiga-
tors acknowledged that a micro-
scopic feather was indeed found
in her hair, and in December
2011, Durham County Judge
Orlando Hudson granted Pe-
terson a new trial. Although
several owl experts have de-
clared that the wifes head trau-
ma was consistent with an owl
attack, the judges decision was
based instead on a finding last
year that the state crime lab
had mishandled evidence in 34
cases and specifically that an
investigator in the Peterson case
had exaggerated his credentials
to the jury. (A 2007 fictional-
ized movie and a 2006 NBC
Dateline also gave durability
to the owl theory.) W

Box 18737, Tampa FL 33679.
The British Medical Journal reported in December that a 76-year-old
woman had been unbothered until recently by the felt-tip pen she
accidentally swallowed 25 years earlier. It was removed without
complication, and, though the plastic was flaky, the pen still had
an ink supply and was usable.

hile you might
still be ponder-
ing that question,
eight people from
Northeastern
Pennsylvania gured out what they
would say and will share it with
the audience at Pecha Kucha Night
Scranton.
Pronounced peh-CHA-kuh-cha
and sounding like it should precede
God bless you Pecha Kucha is
a speaking format invented in 2003
by Tokyo architects Mark Dytham
and Astrid Klein. Looking for a
way to bring colleagues, friends and
creatives together, the two conceived
the 20x20 presentation: 20 slides
that are talked about for 20 seconds
apiece, which gives presenters six
minutes and 40 seconds to show
their work, tell a story or captivate
the audience.
The Scranton Pecha Kucha Night
(PKN) will be held Saturday, Jan.
28 at The Vintage Theater and was
the brainchild of Brad Peniston, who
founded PKN Philadelphia three
years ago with his brother, James.
PKN Philadelphia held its ninth
installment Saturday.
I read out about Pecha Kucha, I
think it was in Wired magazine, Pe-
niston said, calling in from his ofce
in Washington, D.C. The fact that
you can get a bunch of people who
are passionate about a wide variety
of stuff together and bring them to-
gether in one night where people can
talk about their ideas, I just thought
it was such a great idea.
Bringing PKN to Scranton was
borne out of a Peniston brothers
January tradition: Traveling some-
place new that has a lot of history.

In recent years, the two saw the
countrys biggest chess library, The
John G. White Chess and Checkers
Collection, at the Cleveland Public
Library and went curling in Kalama-
zoo, Mich., last year. The latter trip
included a Tweetup organized by a
local woman.
Essentially, she tweeted out to a
bunch of her followers, Hey, some
random dudes from the East Coast
are coming to Kalamazoo, lets all
have dinner. It was such a terric
thing to get insight into a place that
you wouldnt if you were just a
tourist, Peniston said. We talked
to all these people who all had great
stories and interesting things doing.
We thought, How could we do that
when we go to Scranton?
Hoping to keep with the Tweetup
aspect from Kalamazoo, Peniston
thought a PKN would be a good idea
for this trip and have people tell us
whats so cool about what theyre
doing and about their city.
Like most people doing research,
I reached out and Googled people,
Peniston said. Eventually, he con-
nected with Mandy Boyle, an SEO
team leader at Solid Cactus.
I have never heard of this before
in my life, Boyle said, adding that
as soon as she got Penistons e-mail,
she did some Googling of her own
and found sample videos of Pecha
Kucha.
I saw one about (Dancing Matt
Harding), who had gotten the world
to dance with him, and I thought,
Wow, this is really, really cool,
she explained. As soon as I started
to learn more, I reached out to Brad
and said, Hey, Id love the chance
to present.
Boyle offered to help get the word
out, and PKN Scranton began to
develop.
It would not have come to be
without Mandys help on the ground
theres only so much you can do
through e-mailing random people
in a town youve never been to,
Peniston said with a laugh.
Face time
B
oyle has seen a lot of interest
in PKN Scranton, especially
among NEPAs blogger and
Twitter community.
Ive seen a lot of people buzzing
about it, she said. And weve got-
ten a lot of great speakers involved
with the night, who are really great
about spreading the word.
Presenters include Michelle
Davies, an NEPAblogs.org co-
contributor presenting #Scranton-
MovieNames, Stained Glass &
the Passing of an Old World by
NEPAblogs.org founder Harold
Jenkins; Restoring the Slope by
Leadership Lackawanna Class of
2012 member Gerard M. Hetman;
Library Crimes & Misdemean-
ors by newspaper librarian Brian
Fulton; In Pursuit of the Light by
professional photographer Brent
Pennington; Preparing America to
Compete in the 21st Century Global
Economy by SkillSoft technology
trainer Michael J. Murphy; How
to Slow Down Time by Welcome
To Scranton author Greg Halpin
and Boyles Life Lessons from the
Gateway Cinema.
Noticing that Pecha Kucha pre-
sentations always told a story, Boyle
took to Facebook and asked people
what the best story she ever told
them was.
Alot of people had mentioned
the stories I told them about working
at the Gateway Cinema (in Edwards-
ville), she said. I was thinking
about how we all learn things from
our rst jobs and how we take those
lessons with us, and I think I can tie
in some of those funnier moments
of working at the Gateway in with
some life lessons that I learned from
that experience.
With everyone so tied to technol-
ogy even social media is not
really social when you think about
it Pecha Kucha offers good, old-
fashioned face-to-face time.
Its so much more dynamic to get
in front of somebody and talk for
an uninterrupted six minutes and 40
seconds, Peniston said. Its enough
to really get a good point across,
but not too much that you turn the
person off. And once you get off the
stage, somebody in the audience can
go nd a presenter and actually say,
That was really interesting or I
agree or disagree.
Taking PK from
night to day
B
y day, Peniston is the editor
of Armed Forces Journal, a
monthly magazine that offers
analysis and commentary about
military affairs. Hes given about a
dozen Pecha Kucha presentations
since discovering the concept, but
his most recent was in the maga-
zines newsroom.
We started actually having a little
Pecha Kucha afternoon here in the
newsroom where people could share
what they knew about various top-
ics, he said.
He nds the constrained nature
of Pecha Kucha a perfect t for his
eld.
Even a busy newsroom will go
and see what someone has to say
for six minutes and 40 seconds, he
began. We had our congressional
reporter talk about the upcoming
budget season last year, and that was
terric because you think budget,
policy Im already falling asleep
but if you have to do it in 20
slides, 20 seconds a slide; not only
is that a small amount of time to
devote to it, but the presenter has to
have really thought about what he is
going to say in 20 seconds.
Boyle hopes that Saturdays Pecha
Kucha Night is the rst of many.
I think this is going to be a lot of
fun. I really think this is some-
thing great for us to do every year or
as often as we can. W

tech talk
By Nick Delorenzo
Special to the Weekender
I
f you thought Apple was
satisfied with its current
hegemony over consumer
electronics, youd be wrong.
Its getting into the textbook
market with the launch of
the latest version of its
iBooks software.
Textbooks, especially at
the college and graduate
level, are pretty expensive
due both to their specialized
nature and distribution and
their captive audience. The
markup on textbooks hovers
in the 30 percent range. And
what do you get for the
exorbitant fee? In some
cases, not much. I can recall
spending more than $100 on
a single textbook, only to
have the professor tell us he
wasnt going to use it for
the class.
With iBooks2 and its com-
panion program, iBooks Au-
thor, Apple hopes to change
that equation. iBooks Author
is aimed at educators and
small publishers according
to Apple and allows it to
create interactive presenta-
tions that can be uploaded
to the iBooks Bookstore in a
special textbook category.
Its not just for college
students: Textbooks are
available for the elementary
and high-school levels as
well. These e-textbooks are
typically priced at about 20
percent of what you might
expect to pay for a printed
version, with the added ben-
efit of having educational
resources and interactive
features built into the expe-
rience.
According to Apple, with-
in the first three days of
launch, more than 350,000
textbooks and almost
100,000 copies of iBook
Author were downloaded.
As with any publication
submitted to iBooks, if the
e-textbook isnt free, it
needs to meet Apples rigor-
ous quality guidelines, and
Apple retains exclusive dis-
tribution rights for the docu-
ment.
Last time I
checked, iPads were
pretty expensive, but
since theyre gener-
ally cheaper than a
semesters worth of
college textbooks,
Id say this is a
pretty smart move
on Apples part.
If it corners the
e-textbook market,
both colleges and
students might be
buying iPads in
huge numbers.
From the stand-
point of educators,
its an entirely new
way to reach stu-
dents, although
some elementary
and high schools are
struggling to find enough
funding to keep their build-
ings maintained, to say noth-
ing of handing out iPads to
students.
On the flip side, this
could be an indication that
perhaps Apples vision of a
future dominated by iPads
isnt coming to fruition as
rapidly as it would like.
When it released the original
iPad, it was billed as a
magical device that would
replace books, laptops and
newspapers in just a few
years. We heard about how
it would change every-
thing. But it seldom works
out that way.
At the least, iBooks and
iBooks Author are new tools
that educators can take ad-
vantage of, and thats not a
bad thing. Perhaps well
soon see the return of an
era when every teacher has
an Apple on the desk, of
one kind or another. W

director of interactive and
new media for The Times
Leader. E-mail ndelorenzo@

Paperless education?
Will the iPad become the new
textbook? Apple hopes so.

When Dion sings, I got
nothing but miles to put be-
tween now and back then on
the title track of his latest
album, it seems almost proph-
etic.
Hes come a long way since
his bevy of hits in the late
50s and early 60s notably
Runaround Sue and The
Wanderer to his third blues
album since 2006s Grammy-
nominated Bronx in Blue.
Unlike its two predecessors,
Tank Full of Blues is mostly
original, though these tracks
sound like they were weaved in
the Delta decades prior.
I Read It (In the Rolling
Stone) has a moody flair, and
Dions vocals have the rasp of
Gregg Allman while Holly
Brown has a very traditional
blues bassline at its core. Like
in any good blues tune, Dion
wonders if he has the love of
his woman on John Mooneys
Do You Love Me Baby,
which has a scorching riff and
a hint of guttural bass.
The one-two punch of
Rides Blues (For Robert
Johnson) and Two Train are
standouts. The former is a
stellar tribute to the legendary
blues master (plus Dions hero,
Jimmy Reed) with a fantastic
dusty guitar solo. The latter, a
medley of Muddy Waters
Still A Fool and Johnsons
Ramblin On My Mind, has
Dions voice ringing out strong
and true over searing guitar
and throaty bass that together
sound like trains racing down
the track.
You Keep Me Cryin,
about a lover doing no good,
saunters on moodily. Im
Ready to Go is light and
jaunty with handclaps and a
chugging riff. The closing
Bronx Poem is the albums
only misstep, despite Dions
heartfelt, spoken-word storytell-
ing about his past and his love
of God that has him riding
with the King of Kings over
acoustic and electric guitars.
He might have grown up in
the Bronx and the fairly sunny
world of 50s and 60s teen
idoldom, but somewhere along
his lifes wandering, Dion got
steeped in Mississippi blues
and he wears it well.

Top 10 Local Albums at Gallery of Sound
Heavy metal is, by nature, larger-than-
life, but artists like Finlands Nightwish
take things to an entirely different level.
The standard guitar, bass and drums are
skillfully threaded together into an epic
symphony that has as much in common
with Bach as it does with Black Sabbath.
After a somewhat lengthy writing/record-
ing period, the band recently released its
seventh studio album, Imaginaerum, a
concept album telling a composers life
story as seen from his deathbed.
As would be fitting for an album with
such an idea behind it, Imaginaerum is
a mix of calm, flowing numbers contrast-
ed with high-tempo, grinding power met-
al. Nightwish sets this pattern right from
the outset, where album opener Taika-
talvi sounds like a soft dream sequence,
which is then interrupted by Storytime
and Ghost River, both of which would
sound perfectly at home on a horror-
movie soundtrack.
Throughout the album, the band takes
many opportunities to emphasize the
talent of singer Anette Olzon, who now
seems an integral part of the band after
the messy departure of original front-
woman, Tarja Turunen. Tracks like I
Want My Tears Back, Last Ride of the
Day and Slow, Love, Slow show ex-
traordinary range and an ability to adapt
well to numerous musical styles, adding
to the bands mystique.
Imaginaerum is a thoughtfully com-
posed album and takes the listener
through many highs and lows that many
of us can relate to. While it is appealing,
diverse and technically proficient, it is
also the type of album where one must be
in the proper mood first before being able
to enjoy it as it begins to really push the
boundaries of what really can be consid-
ered metal music.

Rating: W W W
Composed, yet
commanding
It seems easy to get stuck in a musical
rut, especially when that music has been
paying the bills for years and then some.
But for alternative-metal outfit Chevelle,
a sixth full-length studio album presented
the perfect opportunity to play with its
signature melodic hard-rock sound, and
Hats Off to the Bull is the triumphant
result of that experimentation.
Album opener and first single Face to
the Floor is a tight track with a relent-
lessly gritty riff and angry undertones that
are echoed in the closing track, Clones.
Same Old Trip sheds the anger to
instead feature a lyrical commentary on
censorship that launches the listener even
deeper into the next nine tracks. The
enthralling hook it delivers is thanks in
part to the addition of female harmonies
by Natalie Loeffler (wife of bassist Dean
Bernardini and sister of vocalist/guitarist
Pete Loeffler and drummer Sam Loef-
fler).
The chaotic Pinata is an album stand-
out that momentarily leans to the alterna-
tive end of the genre spectrum and seam-
lessly moves back to metal in the next
beat. The title track is a forceful venture
that starts off with a pop flair and finishes
with Chevelles gritty signature riffs.
Tracks like the ethereal Prima Donna
and the dramatic Envy, with its slow
build and snaring climax, are a direct nod
to the bands attempt at reinvigorating its
trademark sound. And Arise and Re-
venge are two deliberately poignant cuts
that further drive the distinction home.
Hats Off to the Bull is a solid effort
that represents Chevelles standing as an
underdog and proves it still has some
fight left. Heres hoping this is just the tip
of whats to come.

WILKES-BARRE
Throughout his career, Darius
Rucker has proven adept at cross-
ing genre boundaries, garnering
praise both as a member of roots-
rock 90s darlings Hootie & the
Blowfish and as a solo act play-
ing country-pop today. He even
dabbled in r&b on the oft-forgot-
ten 2002 release, Back to Then.
During his concert at the F.M.
Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre
Friday, Jan. 20, Ruckers varied
musical interests were on full
display as genre boundaries were
not so much crossed as blurred
repeatedly throughout the night.
Before Rucker, up-and-coming
singer-songwriter Mallary Hope
took the stage to warm up the
chilly January night. Her short
set blended the confessional
lyricism and tender melodies of
indie folk with the never-back-
down Southern pride of country
and climaxed with a fiery cover
of Fleetwood Macs Landslide,
which got the whole crowd sing-
ing.
After a brief intermission, the
man himself arrived, with back-
ing band Carolina Grey Boys in
tow. Ruckers unpretentious garb
of T-shirt, jeans and a baseball
cap clashed somewhat with the
glitzy bank of flashing lights and
TV screens behind him. The
accompanying bouncy rendition
of Love Will Do That, however,
served as the hybridizing mid-
point, fusing the bright, brash
energy of the neon-blazing stage
show with Ruckers more orga-
nic, down-home feel-good flair.
After the equally upbeat Al-
right, Rucker paused for a mo-
ment to greet the crowd and ask
if everyone was ready to have
fun. And, with his exuberant
performance style and warm,
never-wavering smile, fun is
exactly what he provided.
Rucker launched into the Hoo-
tie-era hit Let Her Cry. With
even the most staid members of
the audience rising to their feet
for this oldie-but-goodie, it
proved one of the biggest crowd-
pleasers of the night. The same
could be said of the other two
Blowfish tracks trotted out over
the course of the 90-minute set,
Hold My Hand and Only
Wanna Be with You.
Sandwiched between more
recent offerings from solo al-
bums Learn to Live and Char-
leston, SC1966, the Hootie
songs fit in surprisingly well. For
audience members whose lean-
ings may have been more toward
one or the other, Ruckers old and
new material alike was akin
enough to The Osmonds: A little
bit country and a little bit rock
n roll, to satisfy all camps.
Ditto for a cover of Steve Mill-
er Bands The Joker, which the
country-fried crooner made his
own to the point where if you
didnt know it wasnt one of his
originals, you might never sus-
pect otherwise.
Though the main set came to a
rowdy n raucous end with yet
another cover (Hank Williams
Jr.s Family Tradition), Rucker
didnt leave the crowd waiting
too long before returning for the
obligatory encore.
Rucker serenaded his fans with
an agreeable but unexceptional
rendition of his saccharine single,
History in the Making. Follow-
ing that, he made a sharp turn
into truly impressive territory,
capping off the night with one of
his most idiosyncratic choices, a
uniquely moving reimagining of
Princes Purple Rain.
Even more successful a re-
branding than Ruckers take on
The Joker, Purple Rain bene-
fited greatly from the singers
signature sincerity and distinctive
vocals. Indeed, the live setting
allowed the natural timbre of
Ruckers voice to shine consis-
tently during the performance,
much more so than on his some-
what overproduced, over-polished
albums.
Arguably a bigger asset than
Ruckers voice was his jovial
sense of enthusiasm which large-
ly eliminated the invisible barrier
between audience and performer.
The closing moment when
Rucker autographed his hat and
threw it into the crowd
marked one of the few instances
wherein the audience burst into a
typical display of rock-star ad-
ulation. For the majority of the
show, Ruckers vibrant, sunny
style had transported the Penn-
sylvania crowd to his native
South Carolina, making the event
feel less like a $92 concert and
more like an impromptu, back-
yard cookout jam-session. W

movie review
S
tephen Daldrys Extremely
Loud & Incredibly Close,
based on the novel by Jo-
nathan Safran Foer, is intellec-
tually precious and dripping with
stylistic hiccups. It needs a direc-
tor who detests the ordinary, who
embraces the grand. Daldry
directs as if quirk, like tension or
romance, is beloved by the mass-
es.
For a movie rushed to theaters
so it could be eligible for Oscar
nominations (which it did land a
Best Picture nod), Daldrys
straightforward approach is ex-
pected. Its funny, then, that ev-
erything about Extremely Loud
& Incredibly Close is aggres-
sively negative: Its lack of ambi-
tion, its condescending attitude
and its unpleasantness. The last
trait is astounding since the mo-
vie includes Tom Hanks and
Sandra Bullock, two actors
whose universal appeal is practi-
cally a Constitutional amend-
ment.
The actor getting the limelight
here is 14-year-old newcomer
Thomas Horn. He plays Oskar
Schell, an 11 year old who enjoys
a special relationship with his
father (Hanks). The old man
creates elaborate hunts or
reconnaissance expeditions
for his shy, awkward son. As part
of their twee rapport, the fellas
also commiserate over maps in
quaint sweet shops and stage
oxymoron battles. Mom (Bull-
ock) wisely stays in the back-
ground.
Then Oskars dad dies in the
Sept. 11 World Trade Center
attacks. A year passes. Oskars
memories start to fade, causing
him to venture into dads bed-
room closet where a vase tumbles
from a shelf. That destructive trip
leads to a series of clues that
convinces Oskar that his father
wants him to find something.
Equipped with a bizarre orga-
nizational system inspired by a
John Hodgman diagram, the
neurotic Oskar treks all over New
York in search of a big clue:
Someone named Black.
Daldry stages the action like a
regular drama. Big mistake. The
world Oskar occupies needs to be
bigger, wackier something so
we arent constantly confronted
with the burden of reality. Super
8 and Hugo succeeded be-
cause the films looked like story-
books. Extremely Loud & In-
credibly Close has the visual
allure of a Seinfeld episode.
We never buy anything that hap-
pens. Magic never blooms. In-
stead, we keep waiting for Child
Services or anyone with a
muzzle to appear.
Oskar, an eloquently verbose
and tortured soul governed by his
own pretzel logic, cannot exist
under the enchanting spell of
realism. Clever and plucky, hes
also an impatient brat who, when
not talking like a haughty boy
robot, blurts out his fears. We
would only get behind Oskar if
we could push him off a
cliff. Horn delivers a
corrosive performance,
but I dont think he has
much choice. Oskar,
who admits that he was
tested for Aspergers, is
clearly a mess. Hes
fatherless, pinches him-
self to the point of
bruising and treats his
elders like peons. But
why cant someone
Daldry, screenwriter
Eric Roth (who penned
freakin Forrest
Gump) make the
kid tolerable?
Hanks and Bullock
come and go, though in the films
final stretch Bullocks character
proves that shes a good mother.
The takeaway message: Indulge
your kids behavior no matter
how dangerous or misguided.
After all, kids are people who
need to grieve in their own way.
Its at this point when the value
of Extremely Loud & Incredibly
Close emerges. Daldry and
Roth unintentionally reveal the
nations true threat. Its not fear
and uncertainty. It is the current
generation of coddled, bratty,
flash card-trained little monsters
who never hear no.

ralphie report
the
By Ralphie Aversa
W
hen youre a superstar
artist as busy as Pit-
bull, how do you keep
in touch with friends, family,
and coworkers? David Rush,
signed to Pitbulls Mr. 305 Inc.
record label, exposed the meth-
od of communication the Give
Me Everything rapper uses.
Hes usually a great texter,
Rush said. Calls is another
deal. But text message, I can
guarantee a text message or
e-mail response within a day.
Even if its just a, Hey, whats
up? or Chico, rooting for
you, you know what I mean?
Given the caliber of artist
Pitbull has become, Rush ad-
mitted hes surprised he can
reach out to Pit as easy as
that. But Rush is happy for the
great 2011 that the Miami-born
emcee had and hopes in 2012
he can bring more success to
the camp with his new single.
She Aint You features
Jason Derulo and was sent to
Pitbull. Within a couple of
hours of receiving it, Rush
completed his first treatment
for the track. Pitbull liked it,
and his team made the proper
calls to secure the single for
him.
I didnt see the feature
name until I finished the re-
cord, Rush revealed when he
checked in from his New Jer-
sey home via Skype earlier
this week. I heard the hook
(and), I was like, This sounds
like somebody I know. Either
way, I like the record.
ETTA JAMES PASSES
Legendary singer Etta James
passed away Friday just days
shy of her 74th birthday.
James career spanned more
than 50 years. Between 1960-
1964, the blues singer charted
18 different singles on the Bill-
board Hot 100. She may best
be known for At Last, a
timeless love song that has
been featured everywhere from
weddings to movies to presi-
dential ceremonies.
The songstress found herself
embroiled in a bit of contro-
versy over said ceremonies in
2009. After President Barack
Obama was sworn in to office,
he tabbed Beyonce to perform
At Last for the first dance
that he and his wife Michelle
shared as the nations first
couple. At first, James lashed
out at the pop singer.
I cant stand Beyonce, she
told an audience in Seattle.
She has no business up there,
singing up there on a big old
president day, gonna be singing
my song that Ive been singing
forever.
James later took back her
comments, and her son ex-
plained to CNN that not only
was his mother in a drug-
induced dementia from pain-
killers, but that she was also
battling Alzheimers.
Currently, James still sits
high on the Billboard charts.
Flo Ridas Good Feeling
features a sample of her rendi-
tion of Somethings Got A
Hold On Me on the hook; as
of press time, it was the third
biggest song in the country. W

novel approach
P
enelope Lively, author of
more than 50 fiction and
non-fiction titles, has a
reputation for being seamless.
Her most recent novel, How
It All Began, has continued in
that progression, revealing her
unstoppable ability to keep
readers captivated by the art of
storytelling.
We begin in London with
Charlotte Rainsford, a calm
and independent retiree in her
70s who has just finished her
day. Readers get to know
Charlotte at page one, just
seconds into an assault.
Charlotte is lying on the
ground. She has just been
mugged and cannot manage to
get up. The perpetrators fled,
taking her purse and dignity
with them.
After all, the event forces
her to accept that she can no
longer live that life of inde-
pendency. She is both phys-
ically and emotionally chal-
lenged as a result of the expe-
rience and must not only heal
the wounds of a shattered hip,
but also heal herself by regain-
ing reliance.
As a result, Charlotte moves
in with her daughter, Rose,
and son-in-law, Gerry. While
they seem more than accom-
modating, Charlotte cannot
help but feel as though she is
a burden.
On her road to self-discov-
ery, Charlottes story wanes as
readers are given a look into
the many other colorful char-
acters in the book. While
Charlotte is perhaps the most
important, her daughter and
her acquaintance Anton a
handsome foreigner attempting
to master the English language
often manage to upstage
Charlotte.
However, one of the most
appealing characters is the
narrator a god of circum-
stance and mishap unseen to
the world, but meddling and
mucking up the characters
lives. The omniscient narrator
is well aware of the events that
will unfold, but like this cast
of characters, readers must
also blindly move ahead.
Overall, the plot is anything
but simple. However, even
withstanding the many charac-
ters and routes this story takes,
the characters remain authentic
and the events realistic. Live-
lys storytelling takes readers
from one event that leads to
many unfortunate events all
fueled by a chaos theory; spe-
cifically exemplifying to read-
ers how one incident can cre-
ate a ripple effect throughout
the lives of many.
Livelys writing comes high-
ly recommended. At first,
readers believe all of the char-
acters to be seemingly un-
connected, but by the end of
the novel, they have become
interconnected with each other
finding their own resolu-
tions, which as a work-in-
progress continue even after
the final page. As a caveat, her
wit and ability to hypnotize
readers is definite, as you, too,
may find yourself reading the
entire book in one sitting.

U
sually when we lose
someone we love, we
want to treasure the mo-
ments we have had with our
departed friends. Sometimes we
do it by remembering the good
times and living our life the way
we know would make our angels
in heaven proud, just like Joe
Carey decided to do for Ron
Milgate.
Carey is the coordinator of
Bowl for Ron 2 and part of Team
Life, a nonprofit community
service group from Wegmans.
Carey was friends with Milgates
brother, Ryan Flynn, and wanted
to find a way to honor Milgate.
Bowl for Ron 2 will be held at
Chackos Family Bowling Center
Saturday, Jan 28 from 3-5 p.m.
The event honors Milgate, who
died in 2010 at the age of 43 and
had been involved with The
Wilkes-Barre Society of the Deaf
(WBSD) bowling league. Bowl
for Ron 1 raised more than
$30,000 for WBSD; this year the
proceeds benefit the American
Cancer Societys Relay for Life,
since the organization played an
important role in Milgates life.
Milgates family wanted the
proceeds to go to the ACS be-
cause it helped him through the
rough spots in his journey.
Throughout the years, he
developed different types of
cancer, said Carey. American
Cancer Society helped him
throughout the years.
Carey was heavily involved in
the first Bowl for Ron, which was
held at Chackos as well and
raised more money than he ever
imagined. And Carey made it
clear that the night exceeded his
expectations, and he never
thought the first event would be
so successful.
We were completely sold out,
he said. This was the first time
we ever did anything like that.
The reason for having a bowl-
ing event to honor Milgate is
because bowling was a big part of
his life, and he was involved with
the WBSD bowling league for
most of his life. The event is a
way for everyone who knew
Milgate to pay tribute to him and
have fun at the same time.
The event is doing something
he liked to do, Carey shared.
Me and (Flynn) grew up togeth-
er. We asked if we could do
something to honor his brother.
Carey hopes to see Bowl for
Ron carry on for years to come.
We want to do it as many
years we can, he said. Hopeful-
ly when I leave, someone will
take over, and this will be a yearly
event. W
Bowl for Ron 2, Sat., Jan. 28,
3-5 p.m., Chackos Family
Bowling Center (195 N. Wilkes-
Barre Blvd., Wilkes-Barre).
$20/bowler, $100/6-person
team. Proceeds benefit Amer-
ican Cancer Society. Tickets
via teamlife72@yahoo.com,
Wegmans (220 Highland Park
Blvd., Wilkes-Barre).
Letting good
times and
memories roll
Bowlers honor Ron Milgates memory at the first Bowl
for Ron last year.

Green piece
By Jen Stevens
W
ith global warming on
the rise and our climate
changing more and
more every year, one cant help
but think that eventually not all
of us are going to be able to keep
up. And, not to mention, hasnt
this winter been pretty mild? Its
almost February, and it has only
snowed twice. Never mind one of
those snow days was all the way
back in October of last year. So
what species are really hurting
from the ever-changing climate?
A recent study by the Audubon
Society shows that nearly 60
percent of the 305 bird species
found in North America in the
winter are on the move and can-
not keep up with the climate.
According to the Audubon So-
ciety, these birds have shifted
their range north by an average
of 35 miles in order to keep to
cooler temperatures. The perfect
example of birds affected by
climate change is the black-and-
white pied flycatcher. These birds
are unable to adapt to the warmer
northern areas and have de-
creased by half in the United
Kingdom since 1995.
According to the Bird Species
and Climate Change Global
Status Report, global warming
has already caused the extinction
of approximately 70 species of
frogs in Central and South Amer-
ica and is a huge threat to birds
as they may not be able to adapt
to climate change or their hab-
itats are being destroyed. Food
sources are also disappearing.
The Golden Plovers main source
of food is the cranefly, which
cannot survive in warm temper-
atures therefore causing a prob-
lem for the bird.
Not only are birds suffering,
animals all over the world are
suffering from milder climates.
We all know the tragic story of
the polar bear, which can com-
pletely disappear in the wild
unless global warming slows.
Because of warming temper-
atures, sea ice is melting; polar
bears are dependent on sea ice as
they use it to catch prey.
In China, the giant pandas
future is uncertain due to a num-
ber of threats. Poaching is a
menace for these poor pandas,
but as bamboo is their main
source of diet one that can be
diminished from global warming
they are on shaky ground. The
African elephant, a personal
favorite, is threatened because
their natural habitat is also affect-
ed by climate change.
Global warming and climate
change threaten all species (in-
cluding us), with loss of habitat,
disastrous weather and disease.
Its real, and unless we make
some drastic changes, its here to
stay. W
The Golden Plover is just one species of bird that has
been negatively affected by climate change.

Imagine cramming a football game into only
two minutes. Thats what horse racing is like.
If youre the type who roots for your team with
everything youve got, it might be too much
for you. But if youve got what it takes, you can
experience the thrill of victory or the sting of
defeat over and over, all day long. Hopefully
more of the victory thing though.

bitch & brag
By Jeff and Amanda of 98.5 KRZ
Jeffs Bitch:
Misleading advertising. Boy,
does it piss me off. And its out of
control in the diet/nutrition field.
Lets start with what I consider to
be the two most misleading words
in the history of advertising: Up
to. Let me give you an example.
You hear about some incredible
newdiet programthat claims
youre guaranteed to lose up to
10 pounds in the first two weeks.
Well, up to could mean you
could lose one pound, two, maybe
four. It has no literal meaning.
Notice they never say at least10
pounds. Lose up to four dress
sizes! If you only lost one, youd be
disappointed, but technically, its
still up to.
Howabout those protein muscle
building supplements that litter all
the fitness magazines? Gain up
to 20 pounds of rock-hard mus-
cle! I wouldnt bet on anything
close to 20 pounds. Its a wonder-
fully exciting blanket statement
that really doesnt mean a whole
lot.
The other big deception is the
fine print. Watch any diet commer-
cial or the latest exercise gadget
infomercials. As your eyes are
mesmerized by the toned, tanned
girl in the skimpy bikini who also
just happens to be drop-dead gor-
geous (just a coincidence, Im
sure), youll see in tiny, tiny print at
the bottomof the screen a dis-
claimer that tells you these results
are not typical! In other words, you
are not going to look like the paid
model in the commercial. Do you
really think that good looking guy
with the chiseled pecs and abs in
the Shake Weight commercial
really got huge and ripped shaking
a dumbbell? Please!
But these companies knowthat
we humans want to believe so
badly that we still bite on these
lame products. We want to believe
theres a shortcut. But sadly in the
end, it all comes down to controll-
ing calories with a healthy diet and
a daily dose of sweat-inducing
exercise. No disclaimer needed!
Amandas Brag:
Howmany times have you heard
a girl say, I have nothing to wear
and Theres nowhere to shop
around here? Being a chick is
tough. We feel hottest when were
wearing a newoutfit, and we love
to discover clothes that are unique
and everyone wont be walking
around in.
While reading a fashion blog a
couple months ago, I sort of stum-
bled upon a U.K. website that was
about to expand its availability and
start shipping to the U.S. Very.com
is full of trendy clothes that have a
European flair, and I couldnt wait
to place my first order. The very
first week the site went live in the
U.S., I ordered a dress for a Christ-
mas party.
I waited, waited, stalked the
tracking online and finally sucked
it up and realized the dress wasnt
going to make it across the pond in
time. I was so bummed, but the
website was still working out the
kinks (considering it just started
shipping to the States). This differ-
ent, sequined, perfectly priced item
was lost in the mail. I was really
disappointed, so I e-mailed the
company and told themI never
received my dress. Heres where
this gets awesome.
It refunded my money and told
me to keep the dress as a gift
once I finally received it. Score!
Nowthats what Imtalking about.
I ended up wearing the dress on
NewYears Eve and got so many
compliments on it. Its truly a
unique piece, and Ive never seen
anything like it. In the end, not only
did I discover an awesome fashion
website that offers a huge variety
of trendy, fashion-forward clothes
at reasonable prices, but its cus-
tomer service rocks too! The im-
pressive customer service is keep-
ing me coming back for more!
Check out very.com, the ship-
ping is cheap, and hopefully youll
get your purchase on time
either way, itll be well worth the
wait! W
Hear Jeff and Amanda Bitch &
Brag Fridays at 3:30 p.m. on 98.5
KRZ.
Jeff is shaken up by some of the misleading claims on
fitness infomercials.
Amanda had a very good shopping experience.
sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
D
ear Mom & Dad,
I learned a lot of
valuable life lessons
when I lived in Los Angeles,
such as never take the bus
after it gets dark, a sub-
scription to roommate.com is
likely to lead to your first
staph infection and declining
an offer to participate in a
three way will result in re-
venge.
After getting evicted from
my apartment because my
roommate was using our rent
money to nurture his drug
addiction, I was left home-
less in Hollywood.
You can stay with us as
long as youd like, offered
the mother of a girl I in-
terned with. Since the girls
mother was a professional
Bette Midler impersonator
who ran around the house
singing The Wind Beneath
My Wings all day, and I
was stuck bunking with the
maid, I decided to just move
back home.
You cant leave! insisted
my friend David, who was
spending his summer as an
intern for the talent agency
that discovered Megan Fox.
He was crashing on a
friends couch, but offered to
get an apartment with me if
I would stay.
I agreed, even though the
only apartment I could find
for a reasonable price had us
sharing a bedroom off the
campus of UCLA that barely
fit our bunk bed. We had no
TV, Internet, air conditioning
or privacy! It was a bonding
experience for the first week,
but then we just fought like
crazy because we were tram-
pling on top of each other.
When my high-school
friend Kim came out to visit
us, we thought it would be
great to have other people to
interact with.
Justin! David screeched
with excitement when we
were all out partying. Be-
fore I go back to Michigan,
I really want to have a three
way! I asked Kim, and shes
in!
F--k no! I shouted.
Shes like my sister.
We got into a fist fight
over me killing his ridiculous
erotic fantasy.
The next morning, Kim
went to the beach while Da-
vid and I slept in. When we
woke up, I hopped in the
shower to meet her. When I
came out, I noticed Davids
bags were gone. He moved
out, leaving me a note that
read Paybacks a bitch!
David may have moved out
on me when I was in the
shower to show me paybacks
a bitch because I wouldnt
have a three way, but what
he would soon find out is
that Im a bitch when it
comes to payback!
Love,
Justin W
Apology
No. 69
Justin put a stop to a
three way with his
roommate before it even
started.
We got

Tips
By Janelle Engle
from a
barbie chick
A
s January starts to show
signs of snow, Im sure
youre all wondering just
what to wear when the icy walk-
ways are slippery and wearing
Ugg boots are no longer an op-
tion for your date-night out.
Well, thats not at all what Im
going to tell you. Fashion never
promises to be practical, and in
fact, Ive suffered many times
from Mother Nature because I
refused to confine to what the
weather outside was doing.
While it may seem silly, the
hottest trend for this winter sea-
son are wedge ankle boots which
do not offer much protection
from the snow.
But as impractical as these
shoes are, they do have some
benefits that might have you
forgiving their less-than-ideal
appeal as winter wear.
Since they are big and bulky,
worn with skinny jeans or leg-
gings they give the impression of
longer legs, a great illusion tool
for petite girls. This trick works
particularly well with black pants
and black shoes.
While they can be slippery to
walk in during these snowy
months, one thing I can promise
about these shoes is that they are
incredibly comfortable. That may
be why this season is favoring
them more than any other shoe.
Wedge ankle boots are designed
to evenly distribute the weight of
your feet, so they have enough
balance you can keep them on all
day, without having to worry
about aching feet at the end of
the night. In fact, take this from
experience: You can even run in
them. But I wouldnt suggest
doing so through the snow W
Snowy with a
chance of trendy
Wedge ankle boots might not be practical for winter, but
at least youll look good if you slip on icy sidewalks.

Ive wanted to own a black Trans Am ever
since I watched Knight Rider as a kid, Hannon
says. I gured this 1998 one was my only
chance, so I jumped at the chance to own it.
I had the horsepower tested, and it was
about 300, 305. I just love this car. Turns heads.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
We get nervous about telling the truth
when our gut says it wont be well received,
no matter how much the person wed tell it
to claims otherwise (You can tell me
anything!). Everyones been burned by
someone who said theyre cool with what-
ever and then freaked out when they
heard what actually came out of your
mouth. That shouldnt stop us, though. The
truth is the truth, and how people react to it
is their problem, not yours. Even if you
dont like what that reaction is, isnt it
better to discover that now than learning
what a hypocritical douche they are, later?
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH20)
Gray areas are kind of your specialty, but
your long practice living in those zones
doesnt necessarily make them easier to
navigate. When asked to help clean up
someones mistake, your admirable first
instinct is to, of course, do so until you
consider the wider consequences, like,
does helping them fix this mess implicate
you in it? Will you now be blamed for
enabling their screw-ups? These are all
worthy considerations, but ultimately dont
get too into your head about it. Trust your
gut. If your instincts say steer clear, then do
so. If they say dive in and do what you can,
then bombs away!
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL19)
Everyone has stuff they do that they
dont notice doing, including you. Having
someone hold up a mirror and point out
these habits may not be a particularly
pleasant experience, especially if the habits
are unflattering, but it can still be a useful
one. Its always better to hear from some-
one that youve got spinach in your teeth
than to discover it when you get home,
knowing it was there all day. Be grateful,
not annoyed, when someone points out this
stuff, even if they do so maliciously. This
kind of self-knowledge will only make you
cooler, better and stronger.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY20)
Its totally natural and understandable to
hope that the next time you run into your
ex, theyre fatter, shabbier or otherwise
worse off than when you two were together.
But all that energy youre wasting wishing
them ill is doing you absolutely no good.
How, after all, does your life improve when
theirs suffers? Imagine what you could
accomplish with all that energy if you
could just move on and forget them in-
stead. Dont spare them a thought unless
they happen to be standing right in front of
you. Easier said than done, I know, but this
week you should be able to at least make
progress in this department.
GEMINI (MAY21-JUNE 20)
You may not be able to spin straw into
gold, but many of your problems and woes
can be transformed into comedy.
Theres not a lot you can do about some of
the shit that goes down in your life, but
figuring out ways to laugh at and about it is
something youre certainly capable of.
Thatll make these burdens so much light-
er. Of course, being able to chuckle at this
stuff will involve taking yourself much less
seriously, but you can handle that, cant
you? Try sharing these trials and trib-
ulations with others, in such a way that
they can laugh with (or perhaps, lovingly,
at) you. That will, curiously, make them
easier for you to handle, too.
CANCER(JUNE 21-JULY22)
Accidents happen, and even if people
freak out in the moment, while their emo-
tions are running away with them, they
should be able to get to a more rational
place once theyve calmed down. Offer
them that chance, before you give them
hell for their initial overreactions. You, of
all people, should know how it is to lose
control while in the grip of a powerful
feeling, so be the rational, understanding
and experienced one here, and practice
patience and tolerance. Wait for their real,
considered, more-thoughtful response
before you engage. Everyone will be hap-
pier that way.
LEO(JULY23-AUG. 22)
Trust is delicate. Its incredibly difficult
to repair after its been shattered. Even
once patched up, its more fragile than
before and cant take rough treatment. You
need to take special care around it, like
shielding an injured body part from activ-
ities that would subject it to needless strain
and cause re-injury. Yes, thats extra work
and not likely to be easy, but its necessary
and obligatory in these circumstances. If
youre not able or willing to do that, you
should probably make your exit now before
you cause pain that could and should be
avoided.
VIRGO(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
Being loving and generous is always
appropriate as long as there isnt a terribly
selfish agenda behind it. Do try to spread
the good cheer and affection (while of
course remaining perceptive about how its
being received). And dont let naysayers
tell you that you ought to be feeling other-
wise or being vindictive or petty (like they
probably would). Your ability to push past
those kinds of emotions and remember all
the good stuff is a special one. Keep exer-
cising it. What goes around comes around
which means you, too, will soon receive
kindness and understanding when you least
expect (or feel you deserve) it.
LIBRA(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Sometimes just the fact that youre even
asking a question is an answer in and of
itself. There are some things you should
just know, and if those pieces of the puzzle
are still missing at this point, it means its
forming up into a completely different
picture than what you anticipated. That
might mean some real life readjustment
thats better accomplished sooner than
later. Dont keep trying to jam pieces into
spaces they dont fit into, just so this puz-
zle will turn out the way you hoped. Figure
out what its actually going to look like,
and plan around that whether you like it
or not.
SCORPIO(OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Some betrayals, while still brutally pain-
ful, have their roots in good intentions.
Perhaps the person who (maybe inad-
vertently) stabbed you in the back had their
eyes on the big picture instead of just your
best interests and was trying to do right by
everyone involved. Its incredibly difficult
to separate yourself from your pain and try
to see things as they do, but please try.
Context and long-term repercussions mat-
ter more here than your immediate person-
al suffering. If you can see what they saw,
youll be more inclined to forgive you
might, surprisingly, even be glad you took
one for the team.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Having blown the lid off many a minor
cover-up yourself, you should know that
secrets dont keep. Sooner or later, the truth
comes out. Your experience tells you that
sooner (except sometimes in the case of
children who are too young to know some
stuff) is always better than later. You also
know that fessing up is always received
more open-mindedly than a guilty admis-
sion after someones snitched, so please
consider that route. What youve done isnt
all that bad, after all but itll seem much
worse coming from someone elses mouth
or after youve been caught in a lie. Go do
what youre good at: Tell the truth, already.
CAPRICORN(DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
Dont ever begrudge yourself joy. Like
everyone, you deserve to be happy. Try to
minimize its potential negative impact on
others, of course but dont deprive
yourself in order to spare someone from
feeling jealous or upset. Thats their bag-
gage, not yours. Be compassionate but not
masochistically stupid. Downplaying the
fun youre having or your good luck in
order to keep from rubbing it in someones
face is one thing. Denying yourself the
good fortune or joy that comes your way is
quite another. Its what youve got coming,
so (quietly, if you must) enjoy it as much as
you possibly can. W

hen Kathleen Madigan
says she doesnt sit
down to write jokes
and that the material merely
flies into her head, she means it.
Even a casual discussion about
the farm she owns deep in the
Midwestern woods turns up a
colorful comparison between
that and her home in Los An-
geles.
People always go, Oh, arent
the woods creepy and scary?
Madigan said last week on a
phone call from L.A. Right
now, I live 10 minutes away
from where they just found that
human head next to the Holly-
wood sign, so you tell me. Ive
never found a head on my prop-
erty in Missouri I have yet to
find a head in a bag.
Madigan will bring that quick
wit to the F.M. Kirby Center in
Wilkes-Barre on Friday, Jan. 27.
This will be her first sojourn
here, but another comedic
heavyweight has told her what
to expect.
Ive been all over Pennsylva-
nia, but I havent been there,
she explained. But my friend
Lewis Black has. I just saw him
the other night, and he said its
awesome He said the venues
great, and the crowds are great.
Black is on Madigans short
list of favorite funny people,
along with the likes of Wanda
Sykes, Ron White and Greg
Proops. According to her, mak-
ing a name for oneself in come-
dy should come about the good
old-fashioned way through
hard work.
Any time somebody says
Internet sensation, I just go,
Forget it. she said. Because
the reason youre a sensation is
because it was unexpected. Well,
if it was unexpected, the reason
is because no one expected it
because you hadnt done what
you were supposed to.
And what you were supposed
to have done is perform standup
on the road for years, the way
her favorite comedians have.
The people that I like,
theyre not necessarily older, but
theyve been doing it hard for
20 years, she explained. I
mean, theres a lot of young
people that I know that are five
or 10 years into it, that I think
are really funny, that you would
not know their names. But the
reason you dont know their
names yet is because they
havent been doing it long
enough.
Madigan has been at the
game herself for 22 years, mak-
ing countless appearances on
Late Show with David Letter-
man, The Tonight Show with
Jay Leno and Late Night with
Conan OBrien. Shes also had
specials on Showtime, HBO and
Comedy Central.
Having been on so many
mainstream programs, Madigan
certainly has no bitterness to-
ward the cable networks, but
she has noticed a recent trend in
regard to women in comedy.
I think standup is always
pretty fair, as long as youre
funny, she said. I think the
network-TV thing, they tend to
go for hot before they go for
funny. And it didnt used to be
like that. Roseanne (Barr)
wasnt hot, you know what I
mean? Not everybody has to be
100 pounds and hot. Its actually
kind of the antithesis of funny.
I dont understand the choic-
es because youll see those
people come and go. None of it
sticks. And theyre young, and
theyre hot. Well part of the
problem, again, theyre young.
So they cant be solid and con-
fident, not with that little expe-
rience. Nobody can.
The absurdity
of the situation
M
adigan gets very animat-
ed about certain topics,
proving shes got just as
much a talent for intelligent
discussion as she does for mak-
ing people laugh. Performing for
the troops overseas at the Chair-
man of the Joint Chiefs of
Staffs USO Holiday Tour of
Iraq and Afghanistan is one of
the topics that gets her going,
and she noted that one perform-
ance turned into more because
she saw how important it was to
the soldiers.
Theyre still our countrymen,
and I still feel horrible for them
because its freezing, and its an
awful place to be, and I hate
that everybodys forgotten
theyre there, she shared. I
mean, theres over 100,000
Americans in Afghanistan, and
whether you agree or disagree,
should we be there, shouldnt
we be there, is it working, is it
not, they are there.
She explained that she re-
mains respectful with her mate-
rial, but isnt afraid to point out
what she called the absurdity
of the situation, like one partic-
ular instance where people on a
military base were forced to
relieve themselves in a bag.
As youre standing there
doing it, youre looking at 150
Humvees, she said. Im like,
somehow, the United States
government, we got 150 Hum-
vees here, but nobody could
pick up a Port-A-Potty? They
forgot about that? Like, why
dont you call the Missouri State
Fair? They know how to do it.
Madigan will also perform for
Ron Whites Comedy Salute to
the Troops to benefit the Armed
Forces Foundation at the Grand
Ole Opry in Nashville, Tenn., in
February, but otherwise, she
remains amusingly nonchalant
about whats on the hori-
zon.Im just running around
telling jokes, which I love, she
shared. I was on the phone
with somebody in my sisters
car, a reporter or something, and
I guess the guy said, What are
your goals? And I was like, I
dont think I have any goals.
And when we hung up, my
sisters like, That is so pathet-
ic! I said, Why? I had a goal, I
want to tell jokes and make
enough money to pay my rent.
Goal achieved. Im done. I want
to go to LensCrafters sometime
this month and get my glasses
fixed, how about that? Does that
count? Or is that not a lofty
enough goal? W
