Yay, Paul McCartney is

I, like many Americans, want-
ed to be an actor once.
I still do, actually, but only for
fun here and there. Writing took
over as my primary interest right
before college, but I fondly re-
member what it was like to per-
form in front of an auditorium
full of people there truly is
nothing like that rush.
Apache Prinze described that
same rush to me when I met him
recently. Its clear from his enthu-
siasm that he is a go-getter and
all-around hardworking guy. I
admit that I was a bit jealous
when he described what it was
like working alongside Samuel
L. Jackson and how fun it was to
be on the set of Spider-Man 2.
The Brooklyn native settled in
Hazleton in 2010, so I dont think
our cover story on him (pages
28-29) will be the last well hear
from him.
Maybe when he makes it big,
he can get coerce me back into
acting, too. Im no Peter Parker,
but I wouldnt mind grabbing
one of those suits from the set for
a few hours. It may be my last
gig once they track me down, but
the rush is always the real payoff.

The roomsuddenly becomes
pitch black, and a moment or two
of silence goes by before anything
else happens. The music starts,
but not fromthe band. Instead, its
the ever-popular Bohemian
Rhapsody by Queen. Lighters
swaying back and forth are now
the only light that shines in the
theater as the loud, happy voices
of the people confirmthat they
are all eager to see the band come
out on stage.
Then, the backdrop curtain falls
suddenly behind the drumset,
revealing a giant dirty fish smok-
ing a cigarette and drinking a
beer; its the symbol of Badfish.
The audience cheers as a spotlight
is nowcentered on the fish, which
is waiting for the arrival of its
band.
Its 9:45 p.m. The roomis filled
with excitement and impatience
as people wait for the band to take
the stage. Everyone is clearly
ready to dance and sing along to
all of Sublimes greatest hits.
The tribute act then took the
stage, first the drummer, then the
guitarist and bassist. They
grabbed their instruments and
immediately started playing hits
fromSublimes first album,
40oz. to Freedom. The crowd
didnt think twice about getting
off their feet and dancing along
with the music.
Unlike the opening act, Badfish
managed to completely ignore the
fact that the night was Valentines
Day, never mentioning it once.
Instead, everyone had forgotten
about the holiday for two hours
and shared the love that was writ-
ten into each and every Sublime
song.
It was also shocking to see
additional members of the band
on stage this time around. In their
last visit to the area at the now
defunct Eleanor Rigbys about a
year ago, they had no horn play-
ers, so the extra trombonist this
time was a nice touch, adding that
much-needed extra melody on
songs like Date Rape and
What Happened where it was
necessary. Later on, he would
prove his worth by hyping the
audience up to cheer as loud as
they could for the band to return
to the stage for an encore.
About an hour into the set, the
band calmed down to play a few
acoustic songs. The drummer,
bass player, and trombonist dis-
appeared off stage, leaving behind
only the lead singer, Pat Downes,
to sing Rivers of Babylon and
Redemption Song while key-
boardist Dorian Duffy added
backup drumbeats.
After the acoustic interlude, the
band picked right back up where
they left off, playing several songs
fromSublimes self-titled1996
albumto finish off the night.
Following an especially long
encore, the band ended their set
with a sing-and-clap-along ver-
sion of What I Got, leaving the
audience satisfied with Sublimes
biggest radio hit.

on stage, as Badfish captured Sublimes essence

What
will play the Pennsylvania Blues Festival at Blue Mountain Ski Area in Palmerton
during the last weekend in July? The lineup was just announced, and it includes July
27 headliner Robert Randolph & The Family Band and July 28 headliner Bobby
Rush, as well as sets from Bonerama, Guy Davis, Alexis P. Suter, Johnny Rawls, and
Ruthie Foster, among many others.
The funk and soul act is headed by Randolph, who was trained as a pedal steel
guitarist in the House of God Church and uses that sound in the band today.
Its funny how we rst started at church and then as a bar band in Jersey, but it
grew nationally, he said about the bands success in a press release.

The name Hank & Cupcakes
is more likely to conjure up an
image of some quirky childrens
TV show than that of a sexy
electric rock duo from Brooklyn
via Tel Aviv. Equally unassum-
ing is the intimate venue, The
Rattler, Pittstons recent addition
to the NEPA nightlife scene,
where Hank & Cupcakes have
roused the crowd during mul-
tiple shows. On Thursday, in-
stead of the standard Valentine
fare and formalities, music
lovers at The Rattler indulged in
complimentary wine and home-
made, hand-decorated cherry
cordial cupcakes that matched
the design on the Hank & Cup-
cakes kick drum.
Hank & Cupcakes are out-
growing their roles as Brook-
lyns resident party scene power
couple known for filling Wil-
liamsburg bars with beat-driven
bedlam and body-painted pa-
trons and decided to kick off
their 39-stop tour in Pittston,
Pa. on Valentines Night. The
real-life couple, who adopted
the pet names of Charles
Hank Bukowski and his lover
Pamela Cupcakes Wood,
brought a vibrant dynamic to
the stage for The Rattlers
Heartbreak Ball.
Locals Betty Harlot Band, in
glorious war paint, warmed up
the crowd including the head-
liners and incited cheers and
dancing. Betty Harlot com-
manded on vocals, guitar, and
sweet nothings. Drummer Post
steadied beats while Death Ray
led guitar. Keyboardist Amanda
Malia and bassist Peaches (no
relation to the shock-pop starlet
with the same name) shook
their manes, and the latter
sported his Valentines Day best
a black dress with pink ac-
cents. Cupcakes swayed with
the crowd, arms linked, at the
close of Betty Harlots set be-
fore taking the stage with Hank.
The pair opened with dance
ballad Fly off their 2012 EP,
Aint No Love. They played
several songs from their forth-
coming 11-track LP, Naked,
recorded in Berlins famous
Hansa Studios. Among the set
was a tension-building rendition
of Shes Lost Control that
proved much livelier and
funkier than the Joy Division
original. The couple also played
bass bouncing, shoulder shaking
Sweet Potion off their EP.
In a genre dominated by
post-production and intricate
synth, the indie duo bring a
dreamy vibe with the minimalist
simplicity of Hanks bass and
pedals melding with Cupcakes
vox and drumming.
Singer Cupcakes cried, Were
very happy to be at the Rat-
tler! She tore off her studded
jean jacket to reveal a shredded
top reading CUPCAKES. The
spritely singer leapt atop her
kick drum, mic in hand, and
riled the crowd to dance as the
duo brought carnal beats and
heavy buzz to the Heartbreak
Ball.
I have a proposition, cried
Cupcakes. How about: its just
about loving! She continued,
sticks in hand, Im loving my
drums right now! Thats my
Valentines Day. But she and
her Valentine exchanged
weighty glances onstage, build-
ing off each others energy with
a will-they-or-wont-they densi-
ty. Eventually the crowd began
to chant Make out! to the
married couple until Cupcakes
playfully chirped, We were
making out before the show!
You just didnt see it.
The voltaic pair powered
through a few more songs,
including passionate anthem
Aint No Love. The title track
of their EP, which made the cut
to the LP, rides a groovy bass
line into space, turning corners
into Cupcakes exploding cym-
bals and snare. The pair an-
nounced that the Heartbreak
Ball marked their first night of
a two-month tour: You guys
are the first and the best. Then
the duo cheekily requested that
nobody repeat that to the crowd
if they come to the next nights
show in Philly.
With her gentle Israeli accent,
Cupcakes cooed, Ready, Han-
ky? Hank tore into the bass,
feet pumping the pedals, and
soon Cupcakes was all arms
and a voice twice as big as her
thrashing frame. Hit, off the
Naked LP, rang with punk
rock spirit in its buzzing lyrics:
You tell me I dont have a hit /
but guess what, this is it! The
crowd erupted as Cupcakes
wailed a pulsing staccato thats
sure to rattle around brains and
bones til next Valentines Day.
Surveying the venue, Cup-
cakes exclaimed, This place is
a diamond in the rough! The
dancing, romancing crowd cast
shadows on the dimly lit,
framed-rock-show-poster and
mounted-beast-bust-lined walls
of The Rattler. It was a perfect
scene for a certain breed of
romantics. For anyone who fell
in love with Hank & Cupcakes
at The Rattler, stay smitten
their tour will hit downtown
Scrantons own Bog in April.

It was right around this time
last year when the band Perspec-
tive was formed. Members of
United Youth and the United
Youth Crew decided that they
wanted to do a band that was
unlike any of their previous en-
deavors. It was still a hardcore
band, but the idea was a little
more complex some guitar
leads, a different vocal approach,
and what have you. They record-
ed two songs in the Title Fight
practice space with my limited
recording knowledge. We made
some cassettes and they hopped
on a show at Redwood Art Space
with Disengage, Mindset, and
Praise.
As it usually goes in the life of
a teenager, the members got
bored with Perspective. They
wrote some new songs and tried
a name change but quickly gave
up on the project, adding their
name to the long list of local
bands with short careers. Fast-
forward to the end of the year
the remaining members of the
band contacted me to record
something for the Stuck in the
Valley compilation. They hadnt
finalized a lineup yet, but they
did have a song. The song they
wrote was completely different
from their ideas only a year ago.
They devolved from guitar leads
to utter chaos. This was some-
thing new for them, and some-
thing I could fully get behind,
though, they did lack one thing: a
name. After a quick debate, the
band decided on Life of Reilly.
The comp came out, and then
the next week they already had a
whole demo ready to record
but still no lineup. The songs
came together in a couple of
days, and the band took the ini-
tiative to release the demo under
their own label, Orphanage Re-
cords. The label was founded, the
demo was released, and finally
the lineup came together. Within
a couple of months, they went
from an idea to a real deal, cas-
sette-slinging, show-rocking
band.
The new year is underway, and
Ive constantly been advocating
for new bands through this co-
lumn and in conversation with
my own friends. I cant wait to
hear what other new bands will
come of it. Life of Reilly is the
first band of this new generation,
the first of 2013, and, most im-
portantly, not the last (I hope).
The year is young and things are
already well on their way.
I saw Life of Reilly play for
the first time last weekend in
New Jersey. They hopped on the
show at the last minute and per-
formed two songs before their
Wilkes-Barre friends Stick To-
gether. The band had not prac-
ticed, but it didnt matter. In my
opinion, they had the perfect
punk attitude; they were not
flawless, but it didnt matter.
They were raw and fast, short
and sweet. It was nothing more
than friends playing music that
they enjoyed. They were saying
something that was important to
them, but having fun at the same
time.
I spoke to the band since and
they said that they are already
planning on making another
recording in the near future. They
are not content with sitting still,
and they arent waiting for other
people to come around to assist
them.
In my last article, I wrote about
new shows. Now I already have
new bands to talk about. With
every week, its clear that the
year is passing by quick, but if
these two months are any in-
dication of things to come, this
will be one for the books.

The Push is the greatest 80s
band you never heard of.
And Greatest Hits Volume
One may just be one of the most
unique and catchy concept re-
cords youve ever listened to.
Scrantons Jim Reynolds and Tim
McDermott have been making
music as The Push since 2004,
but the joke eventually developed
into much more when they began
writing this debut album. The
Push is a fictional duo from the
late 70s and early 80s, so the
record not only serves as a col-
lection of their hits, but as a
musical journey that toys with
the conventions of the era and
sonically guides listeners through
this time period.
The brilliant part of it isnt that
it pokes fun at these dated song-
writing elements, but that it cele-
brates them by crafting 10 fun,
danceable tunes in the spirit of
ladies men like Hall & Oates.
When Push Comes to Shove
opens with McDermott and Rey-
nolds using their best gravely
rock voices to ask a lover to stop
wasting time, and they dont
either, moving right into the
appropriated titled Straight
Rock. Hit and Run is the
emotional ballad youve been
waiting for, while You Get the
Best and (Tonights) Gonna Be
All Right pick up the pace and
seem to round out the decade.
The next half sees the intro-
duction of synthesizers in the
opening Doin the Best I Can/
Cant Go Home, and it only gets
more 80s from here. Summer
showcases some great harmo-
nies, and Complicated Girl
practically begs you to sing
along. On Edge dives heavily
into moody synth pop, but the
tough guy routine doesnt last
long, closing out with Dance
Pants, the single that takes ev-
erything you enjoyed about the
80s and rolls it into a cheese ball
thatll have you wearing tight
pants and nothing else tonight.
Even the album artwork, made
up to look like an 80s vinyl
sleeve Duran Duran may have
used, is part of the experience,
listing Side A and Side A on
the back (because The Push has
no B-sides) above a section for
autographs; a hilariously conceit-
ed quote graces the inside. While
the production value on this
record is obviously high, the
added tape filters and record
scratches give the songs just the
age they need to complete the
illusion.
The Push may be playing a
part, but theyre playing it better
than any funny parody or serious
throwback act on the road today.

Top 10 Albums at Gallery of Sound
One the biggest challenges singer/
songwriters face is trying to keep a con-
sistent sound without writing the same
song 10 times. Canadian-based Tim
Chaisson has figured out how to over-
come this challenge with his latest re-
lease, The Other Side.
Chaissons fifth studio album starts off
with radio-ready hit Beat This Heart. It
features Serena Ryder, and the blend of
the twos vocals make it an attention-
grabbing leadoff tune.
Lyrically, most of the tracks are the
clich love songs you would typically
expect from a singer/songwriter. Songs
about love and lust take up majority of the
album, but Chaisson adds in a few tricks
to make it his own.
The title track has Chaisson playing a
superb fiddle solo, while a few other
tracks have some upbeat, folk-inspired
guitar strums that put a nice twist on his
poetic lyrics.
The standout tracks are Blast Your
Way Out and The Healing. Blast Your
Way Out has a very soft intro that leads
into a catchy chorus another potential
radio hit. The Healing is a song that just
about anyone who has been in a relation-
ship can relate with.
Overall, Chaisson displayed great musi-
cianship on The Other Side. Out of the
10 tracks, just about any of them would fit
in well with adult contemporary radio and
have the potential to grab at the heart-
strings of any woman. Chaisson released
the album he needed to take him to the
next level and set himself up for many
more years of success.

The Die Hard franchise has
become exactly that: a franchise.
Its as empty as Walmart or
McDonalds, a commerce-ori-
ented endeavor that traded its
soul for cash a long time ago.
What remains in the newest
installment, A Good Day to Die
Hard, is a brand masquerading
as entertainment.
The fifth installment in the
long, painful decline brings us to
Russia, where Americas favorite
maverick cop, John McClane
(Bruce Willis), is out to save his
long-estranged son, Jack (Jai
Courtney, Jack Reacher). The
senior McClane thinks that junior
is a professional screw-up who is
now committing crimes on behalf
of a beloved political prisoner
named Komarov (Sebastian
Koch).
McClanes timing giant
shock is impeccable. He en-
counters Jack and Komarov after
a daring courtroom escape aided
by a terrorist attack. Father tries
to reason with son, who doesnt
want to hear the old man. Their
history is rocky, plus Jack has to
drive Komarov to safety, per the
instructions of his employer: the
CIA. Per the philosophy of a
franchise that has gotten progres-
sively dumber, McClane follows,
committing billions of rubles in
damage en route to a most un-
usual family reunion.
And so begins another John
McClane adventure, where our
hero bonds with his son via pithy
one-liners while shooting count-
less rounds of ammo and diving
through windows. Of course,
veteran director John Moore
captures this with no flair and
endorses terrible editing (How
did McClane get his hands free?)
that keeps us second-guessing.
The bland, sloppy approach
fits with the direction of the
latter movies. The first Die
Hard is a claustrophobic action
masterpiece: one barefoot man,
equipped with a handgun and
police training, must use his wits
to defeat a band of international
terrorists that has taken over a
skyscraper. Back in 1988, John
McClane was one of us. And
Willis, who was best known for
cracking wise on the TV drama
Moonlighting, was perfectly
cast. Looking back, he was Har-
rison Fords heir as Americas
action-packed everyman.
25 years later, Willis is a clean-
shaven, muscle-bound action
hero, and with each installment,
the Die Hard series has dis-
tanced itself from its initial in-
genuity. The concept of colorful
supporting characters was jetti-
soned. Directors and screenwrit-
ers forgot that an action movie is
only as good as its villain. A
Good Day to Die Hard has a
handful, all of which make you
make you nostalgic for Hans
Gruber. Hell, they make you pine
for whomever William Sadler
and Jeremy Irons played. As
action movies incorporated com-
edy (Iron Man and The Aven-
gers) and featured dramatic
substance (The Dark Knight),
the Die Hards got louder and
stupider and less grounded in
entertaining the audience beyond
special effects. Now we have
Willis jumping out of a building
and giving a kamikaze helicopter
the finger. U-S-A! U-S-A!
This is progress? Some people,
those who use box office as a
films lone requirement for suc-
cess, might think so. But to see a
once-great franchise cater toward
the lowest common denominator
with such gusto and without any
self-awareness is heartbreaking.
Each review I write for the new
Die Hard resembles an obitu-
ary, not a review. Were long past
dying with dignity. Somebody
has to pull the plug.

After three lead singer changes,
most bands would have called it
quits, but Drowning Pool are still
making bodies hit the floor 12
years after their debut album,
Sinner, was unleashed upon
metal fans.
Enduring the tragic death of
original frontman Dave Williams,
the rest of the Dallas, Texas band
has remained the same since its
formation in1996 guitarist C.J.
Pierce, bassist Stevie Benton, and
drummer Mike Luce. Theyve
recorded their fifth album, Resil-
ience (due out April 2), with
their latest vocalist, Jasen Moreno
of The Suicide Hook, and are
currently touring with fellow
Texans Flyleaf, who also have a
newsinger.
Before their showon Sunday,
Feb. 24 at the Crocodile Rock
Caf, The Weekender talked to
Pierce and Moreno about howand
why the band has continued and
what the response has been like.
THEWEEKENDER:
Drowning Pool has had a lot of
ups and downs over the years.
Why continue as Drowning
Pool? Why not start something
totally new?
C.J. PIERCE: Because were
gluttons for punishment and we
just love the misery. [Laughs]
Nah, man. We all love music
Weve been writing music togeth-
er for over 15 years. Even after we
first lost Dave, Dave was a good
friend and a good buddy and its
howwe got started. Drowning
Pool is almost like youre last
name, and we knewhe would
want us to go on, so thats why we
continued on.
This is my life and my passion.
Imnot going to quit on it just
because something doesnt work
this time around. You just keep
going with it.
W: Through each singer,
youve kept a similar sound
musically but adapted to the
newvocalists and developed
over each album. Howdo you
find that balance between
maintaining the bands sound
and still branching off into new
territory?
CJP: Weve definitely been
writing this kind of style of music
together for a long time. Each
singer in the past has kind of had
the pros and cons; everybody has
their limits, but you write how
you write and you might have to
tailor a little bit for that same
style, if you will. When I look
back now, Ive learned a lot. I
think its helped me become a
better musician in the long run to
be able to adapt to different sing-
ers.
W: Howdid the two of you
meet, and howdid Jasen end up
joining the band?
JASENMORENO: Ive
known the guys in Drowning
Poolfor years. We were local
together here in Dallas, so I
watched themblowup and take
over the world, if you will, and
then over the years, weve done a
handful of shows with previous
bands that I was in. Wed open for
Drowning Pool, so the relation-
ship has been open throughout the
years, so when they needed a new
singer, it was a no-brainer.
W: What was that audition
like?
JM: I felt a lot of pressure to be
perfect knowing that theyve had
singer trouble before, so it was a
bit nerve-racking, but at the same
time, it wasnt so bad because
theyre not strangers. It wasnt a
crazy heavy feeling in the room; it
was pretty laid-back.
W: With an established group
like Drowning Pool, do you feel
a certain amount of pressure to
live up to past vocalists or is that
not something youre worried
about?
JM: Oh no, I feel extreme
pressure to the guys in Drowning
Pool, to the previous singers
work, to the fans. Its extremely
nerve-racking in that sense, but at
the same time, its a dreamcome
true for me, so I smile a lot on
stage. Its awesome, but I do truly
try to respect the back catalog.
W: The first song you guys
released was in memory of
Dave. Why do you feel it is im-
portant to keep the memory of
Dave alive?
CJP: Thats howwe got our
start, man. Thats howwe got our
foot in the door. We had a really
big impact with the Sinner
record, and with Bodies, every-
body still knows that song more
than the rest. Its been around.
He was just a great guy. He was
a really good friend. He was a
one-of-a-kind dude. The spirit of
Dave has always kind of been
with us and around us.
W: Tell us about the writing
and recording process for the
newalbum. Were a lot of the
songs written before Jasen
joined or was it a collaboration?
CJP: I guess it was about half
and half. We had a handful of
ideas between Steve and I. Stevie
brought a lot of ideas to the table
as well on this record, and we had
a lot of stuff on the table already.
We kind of jumped on that, and
then fromthere, we continued on
when Jasen came in. I didnt want
it to be, and we never want it to be,
one persons record. The end
result is you want it to be a
Drowning Pool song, and the end
result is input fromeverybody in
the band.
JM: Alot of what I brought
really is relating my desire to
come out swinging, to prove
myself, if you will. Alot of it is
really coming fromthat inspira-
tion.
W: Howhave fans been re-
sponding to the newlineup at
shows?
CJP: Fans have been great,
dude. Its fun for me to watch
themturn their heads. First theyre
cockeyed; theyre like, Whos
this guy? And then like two
seconds later theyre just singing
along like hes been in the band
since day one. The response has
been awesome. After every show
that weve played, theres been
nothing but positive feedback, not
one negative thing Ive ever heard.
Nowpeople get online and talk a
lot of negative crap, but until they
come to the show, they have no
bearing.
Until you come out and experi-
ence it yourself, you cant really
say anything. W

Murder its whats for din-
ner.
Sans candlesticks and strand-
ed motorists, Herman Kochs,
The Dinner is certainly not
your typical murder mystery,
but it sure has its quirks. A
novel of convergence and dis-
covery, Koch dims the lights,
setting the mood for a suspen-
seful night out as two families
find more than they ordered.
Originally published in
Kochs native Dutch in 2009,
the novel, after gaining status as
an international bestseller, has
since been translated. The novel
takes place in Amsterdam and
features narrator Paul Lohman.
Paul is a former high school
teacher, and, as readers gather,
is as erratic as he is unreliable.
Nevertheless, we follow along
desiring the next chapter like a
new course of the meal.
A horrific event takes place
in the neighborhood. Someone
has been brutally murdered, and
the only evidence leading police
to the perpetrators is a video
that has since gone viral. Pauls
brother, Serge, a politician pro-
gressing onward with a nomi-
nation as Prime Minister of
Holland, watches the video,
disturbed by the brutality. How-
ever, more shocking is the re-
semblance of the criminals to
his own son, Rick, and nephew,
Michel.
After watching the video
again, Serge insists that the
families meet to discuss press-
ing matters before his election.
But Paul and Serge, regardless
of public civility, seem to har-
bor a quiet hostility towards
each other. Nevertheless, Paul
and his wife Claire agree to
dine out with Serge and his
wife Babette.
The dinner takes only a few
hours but extends the length of
the novel, coming to a finale of
tension and rivalry as the cou-
ples move to discussion of Rick
and Michel. By dessert, all
good manners are lost and
conversation has reached its
most inappropriate pinnacle.
Regardless of what Serge may
implicate, Paul and Claire at-
tempt to protect Michel no
matter what the cost. Most of
the characters are difficult to
get on with, but it is clear at
this point that Paul and Claire
may be the most monstrous of
the lot.
While Paul can be untrust-
worthy and loathsome, he man-
ages to gain control over read-
ers, moving them forward with
his often distraught monologue.
Readers also gain tidbits of
information about him as we
progress including his own
history of violent behavior and
resentment.
Koch captures a rich back-
ground while creating a plot
that thickens and twists. While
the dinner itself seems lengthy
at times, Koch paces the work
with great precision, leading to
the final course. In a disturbing
turn of events, The Dinner
gives readers their fill, leaving
us ill-prepared for what follows
dessert.

It annoys you when you try to
play a movie.
It makes it hard to play your
favorite video games.
It makes it nigh impossible to
move your music to another
device.
And now its coming to a
browser near you.
This villain, of course, is
DRM.
Digital Rights Management
software is designed to protect
any given type of media and
prevent software piracy.
In theory, the concept is all
well and good, but in practice,
the software can block a ton of
legitimate functionality or make
it impossible to actually access
what youve purchased if every-
thing isnt in 100 percent proper
order.
DRM technology exists in
many online music, video, and
book stores, and, for a variety of
reasons, has been the topic of
heated debate since its inception.
Recently, the W3 Consortium,
the standards body largely re-
sponsible for the structure of the
modern Internet, has ruled that
DRM falls within the scope of
the HTML specification. What
that bit of jargon actually means
is that they might be building
DRM capabilities into many if
not all web browsers in the near
future.
So, how is this a big deal?
Well, the way your browser
accesses the Web is based on a
paradigm called the User
Agent.
Your browser Chrome, Fire-
fox or even, gasp, good old-
fashioned Internet Explorer is
your agent, answerable to and
controlled by you as you browse
the Web. You have control over
the information it sends and
receives. It only broadcasts a
specific set of information, and,
in theory, is working on your
behalf.
By adding a DRM component
to HTML, the universal mar-
kup language on which the Web
is built, your browser would, in
order to access the protected
content, have to receive a scram-
bled key from a third party say,
Hulu, for example and keep
that information from you.
In theory, this means that
media distributors wouldnt need
to use specialized software or
even Flash to deliver protected
content it could all be handled
by the browser.
If put into practice, however,
this could be a thin slice of a
much larger wedge that transfers
the balance of power on the Web
in general from the consumer to
the producers of content, to dis-
tributors.
I should stress that this is only
being looked at for video and
audio streaming so far, but this
is, to my knowledge, the first
time that such a step has been
taken.
The worst-case outcome of this
is a little hard to predict.
The problem is that while
content producers have a strong
incentive to push this sort of
technology, and a lot of money
with which to do so, it has always
been possible to circumvent these
measures, and the worse they get,
the more people find ways to
work around them.
My prediction is simply this:
the Internet will get less conve-
nient to use.
The degree to which this will
be true will, as always, depend on
the user.

Theres no crossing this digital line.
Beware the
dreaded DRM
In an attempt to highlight local
comedy acts, one theater is mak-
ing it happen with a monthly
night of comedy. Comedy lovers
will no longer have to look far-
ther than downtown Scranton to
see their favorite groups perform
as well as new acts that they
havent seen before.
Spruce St., Scranton), will be
hosting its first ever all-ages
comedy/improv night, which will
feature three local comedy acts.
The idea is to bring all differ-
ent types of comedy together in
the area and showcase it every
month, explained Theresa
OConnor, co-owner of The
Vintage and a member of Unor-
ganized Business, one of three
acts performing on Saturday, Feb.
23.
Unorganized Business brings a
different type of comedy to the
table. Instead of the group com-
ing up with the jokes, they let the
audience set the scene. The
group takes words or scenes that
the audience shouts out and
creates a scene from these sug-
gestions, bringing the show to a
whole different level.
Two of the three groups per-
forming are what comedians
commonly refer to as improvisa-
tional, or improv, groups, mean-
ing that the comedians have no
idea what they will be perform-
ing on stage before they arrive.
Improv groups thrive on audi-
ence participation to fuel their
shows.
It sounds nerve-racking, but
OConnor said thats something
that she prefers to do rather than
read from a script.
Personally, Id rather do an
improv because youre going up
there and youre just doing what
comes naturally. It just comes out
and its really free flowing.
Audience participation is
something that Unorganized
Business thrives off of. Without
the crowd, the comedians
wouldnt have a show.
Its all done from whatever the
audience gives us, explained
OConnor. We do not tell jokes.
We get suggestions from the
audience and we start a scene
that comes from what the audi-
ence suggests we do. Its very
interactive. The audience part
drives the show, and its just a
laid-back time. Everybody that
joins can be involved.
Because the audience is always
so diverse at an Unorganized
Business performance, it keeps
the show new and fresh. There
are never two shows that are
alike, which keeps the group
interesting.
Every show weve done has
something completely unique
and different, OConnor re-
marked.
Unorganized Business will be
joined by another local group of
improvisational comedians, Here
We Are in Spain, and Scranton
comedian John Walton.
If the event is successful, The
Vintage will continue to show-
case different comedy acts on the
last Saturday of each month.

A
pache Prinze
has one of those
faces you just
know youve
seen before.
Maybe youve seen him
around town. Or was it in a
movie? Atelevision show?
Perhaps it was all three.
Born and raised in
Brooklyn, N.Y., he was
known then as Rafael
Apache Gonzalez, though
he usually went by Apache,
a name his grandmother had
given him because of his
great grandmothers Native
American heritage. He lived
with his parents in a one-room
apartment with a mattress on
the oor and a crate with a TV
on it; he dreamed of being a
singer like his father.
He got me piano lessons
when I was 12, and I started
learning the business. Ive
been on stage since I was
a kid. There was a Spanish
group back in the day that he
used to manage. I would go
on stage with them, Prinze
explained.
I still have the 45 (rpm
record) that my father released
back in the 80s. I had that
pinned to my wall. I knew
all my life that this is where I
wanted to be. I still have it to
this day.
He attended the
overcrowded Franklin K. Lane
High School, a building that
looked like a prison and
employed educators who were
scared of the students, he
felt. It was later closed due to
its consistently poor academic
performance.
They didnt know what
you would do, he said of his
teachers. Everybody expected
us to do wrong, so we did.
Alot of the friends I grew
up with in Brooklyn arent
around. I went back to the
reunion and half the class was
either dead or in prison.
Prinze performed in a talent
show as a teenager, however,
that spared him the fate of
many of his classmates.
They were playing the
CD and it scratched. It got
messed up and jumped. It was
embarrassing because I was

trying to sing with it, so they
started booing me. I was like,
Take it off! Take it off! So
I sang a cappella, and when I
sang without the music, they
actually started clapping to
give me a beat, and that turned
out even better, he described.
That rush was better than
anything. Im always chasing
it.
And chase it he did, though
that too led him into trouble.
He quickly found that the
underground music industry
was full of shady deals and
sudden shootouts, but he
had Craig Hedrington, his
best friend, manager, and
bodyguard, to help him ght
off stalking groupies and duck
gunre.
(Craig) would say,
Apache, drop the mic! The
shows over! Thats not music
were hearing! Prinze
recalled with a laugh. Ive
known Craig for years. I trust
this man with my life.
Hedrington is still with him
today as they sit on a leather
couch in the back corner of
Shakers Bar & Grille (703
W. Broad St., Hazleton)
for an interview with The
Weekender. Prinze moved to
Hazleton in 2010 to escape
the aforementioned madness
of New York City, though
the 32-year-old travels back
and forth often to expand his
burgeoning movie career.
Carving a
niche
A
pache spent years
playing small
background roles
and modeling for The Gap,
which paid off when his rst
big break came along in the
form of a TV movie called
POWER: The Eddie Matos
Story, directed by Jess
Salvador Trevio (Star
Trek: Voyager) and starring
Alexis Cruz (Stargate) and
Isaiah Washington (Greys
Anatomy). He was cast in the
part of a drug dealer, paying
only $35 for 12 hours of
background work.
I met Alex. They gave us a
scene, and the directorgoes,
Look, Apache, you need to
grab him forcefully and act
like he stole your money,
Prinze said.
Im shaking him and Im
talking to him and me and
Alex are going back and
forth Luckily, the (Screen
Actors Guild) representative
was there and she goes, I
heard you give him lines.
You told him what to do.
$35 became $800 for one
days work. She said, Guess
what? Welcome to SAG. If I
wouldnt have gone for that
$35, I would never have been
in SAG today. Who knows
what might have happened?
Living by the adage that
there are no small parts,
only small actors, he said
he earned small roles in
movies like Shaft, Maid in
Manhattan, Fantastic Four,
and Spider-Man 2 and TV
shows like Sex and the City
and The Sopranos.
This also earned him plenty
of stories.
Samuel L. Jackson
great guy. I worked on
Freedomland with him; I had
a little bit part. I was nothing.
He was in there, too, and he
was like, Apache, didnt I kill
you? because in Shaft, me
and him get into a shootout
in the street. Were shooting
at each other and Im blasting
at him and hes blasting back.
He shoots me twice in the
chest and I collapse, Prinze
explained.
I go, Yeah, you
remember? He said, How
could I forget you, man? How
could I forget Apache? How
many Apaches do I know?
Real nice guy.
He (told me), Apache,
your time will come.
Jennifer Lopez also offered
him encouragement during
the lming of 2002s Maid in
Manhattan.
Im trying to do my scene,
but Im nervous because these
guys are huge and Im just
a bit part actor, you know?
And then Jennifer looks at me
and smiles and says, Youre
nervous, arent you? She
smiles at me and I look like an
idiot. I didnt say anything!
He even became longtime
friends with John Leguizamo
while lming Empire in
2002, playing yet another
drug dealer, though he says he
doesnt drink, smoke, or take
drugs himself.
I get a lot of drug dealer
roles. I dont know why.
Figure that my mother says,
Son, are you going to be a
doctor? Mom, Im never
going to be a doctor or a
lawyer, trust me. I look like a
drug dealer. Im not, but Ill
always play a drug dealer, he
admitted between chuckles.
Just minutes later, Prinze
proves once again that looks
can be deceiving when his
cell phone goes off, chirping
the sound of a Star Trek
communicator. The self-
described fanatic and geek
boasts two bedrooms full of
merchandise in his Hazleton
home, including 17 entire lm
reels from 2009s Star Trek.
People look at me and say,
Youre a geek? Im like,
Dont judge a book by its
cover, he noted. Im trying
to get into Star Trek (as an
actor). I could die after that.
Working behind the
scenes on movies like I
Am Legend, American
Gangster, The Bourne
Ultimatum, and What
Happens in Vegas, his
brother, Anthony, a production
assistant, is working on
bringing him onto the
production of The Amazing
Spider-Man 2, which Prinze
hopes will lead to another
acting gig.
Ill be anything. Ill be a
tree in Spider-Man 2. But
just being in the circle, just
being involved you dont
know what will happen.
His next lm as an actor,
set for release in April, is
Disconnect, starring Jason
Bateman (Horrible Bosses),
Alexander Skarsgrd (True
Blood), and Paula Patton
(Mission: Impossible Ghost
Protocol), and he is still
working on production of The
CWs The Carrie Diaries
until March as he writes and
records a new album. As if
he didnt have enough on his
plate, hes also looking to
make his new home a better
place to live.
Helping
Hazleton
A
fter starring in
Cycle, an award-
winning short
lm about domestic violence
that he donates to clinics,
Prinze started working on
a follow-up, highlighting
the importance of the issue
to him. When he heard
that Joe Maddon, manager
for the Tampa Bay Rays
and Hazleton native, was
starting a community center
for disadvantaged children
in his hometown, Prinze
met with Maddon, Mayor
Joseph Yannuzzi, Hazleton
Integration Project Director
Bob Curry, and members of
the local Latino community
to see how he could help with
that project as well as quelling
crime in the area.
All this violence thats
been going on has become
a problem. Theyre telling
me that this town used to be
thriving at one point, and
all of a sudden, it fell apart.
I want to help. If Im in a
position that people will

listen, great then lets do

emphasized.
At the end of the day, if I
just end up an old man that
people forgot, ne, but in my
heart, I know that I helped.
He may have moved to the
small Luzerne County city
for the peace and privacy, but
he said he doesnt mind if his
activism, or his rising career
in entertainment, start to draw
attention to his presence.
I found a nice piece of
property. Its pretty quiet here;
nobody knows who I am. I
like it that way. That works for
me, Prinze acknowledged.
But little by little, people
are like, I saw you in
something. W

When I interviewed Mystery
Science Theater 3000 creator
Joel Hodgson last month for our
cover story to promote his appear-
ance at the Scranton Cultural
Center on Feb. 9, he talked about
howtelevision was magical and
mysterious when youre a kid
its not until you growolder that
you realize that the same pro-
gramming wasnt quite as good as
you remember it.
I completely identified with
that, remembering all the Sat-
urday morning cartoons I used to
watch. Seeing all the cheesy flaws
in He-Man and Teenage Muta-
nt Ninja Turtles is hilarious now,
as if Impeering behind a curtain
I never noticed before. Thankful-
ly, MST3K did not age the
same way in fact, its only fun-
nier today, even after attending
Hodgsons one-man show, Riff-
ing Myself, which reveals the
origins of the popular Comedy
Central programand movie riff-
ing, a gift to sarcastic nerds every-
where that Imforever grateful
for.
The night started at 6 p.m. with
a VIP signing session in the base-
ment of the SCC. It was a unique
meet and greet because instead of
a single table and a long line of
eager fans, Joel greeted each
person sitting at each table indi-
vidually, chatting, posing for
pictures, and signing whatever
merchandise they brought, in-
cluding posters that were provid-
ed. It was refreshing to be a part
of a humble, fan-centric session
like this before the main event it
may have been a bit crowded
down there, but everyone had
their moment with the man they
had been watching on screen for
years.
Even when he started the pro-
gram, the first thing Hodgson did
was acknowledge that the biggest
MST3K fan he knows, Chris
Cornell of Satellite News, the
official MST3K fan website,
lives right in our area and was in
attendance that night, later in-
viting himup for the Q&Ases-
sion. (And there are fewthings
better than getting recognized by
one of your idols.) He then began
the showin his trademark dry
tone:
Inside this is the origins of
movie riffing, and at the conclu-
sion of Riffing Myself, I will
reveal whats in here, but if I
explain it to you now, you would
not be able to handle it, OK? It
would be like Scanners in here,
Hodgson told the intimate crowd,
referencing the famous cranium
explosions in the 1981David
Cronenberg film.
If you feel like you are ever
getting scanned and your brain is
about to explode, there is some-
thing you can do walk over to
the person next to you and put
your head next to theirs it goes
into them.
Watching his humorous Power-
Point presentation by candlelight
in the SCCs Shopland Hall, he
showed countless embarrassing
pictures of himself growing up,
fascinated by ventriloquismand
magic tricks and doing whatever
he could to work theminto his
daily life. His TVcounterpart,
Joel Robinson, was always easy to
identify with on the show, but
Riffing Myself truly solidified
that bond with his fans by show-
ing that, once, he was just like us.
OK, hes still just like us. In-
spiration for MST3K came
fromthe strangest of places, from
albumcovers to puppet catalogs
to Jerry Seinfeld, and again I saw
myself, gaining my own inspira-
tion for writing fromcomic
books, old movies, acting in
school plays, and old books I
cant even recall now. Having
done his research, he even used
historic photos to take us on a
tour of Scranton, poking fun at
our familiar landmarks. By the
end, he remarked that this was the
first showof his tour that he per-
formed frommemory it was
clear that he was just as comfort-
able as we were.
After the Q&A, the night ended
with a screening of the classic
Pod People episode of
MST3K, and just as I had sus-
pected, it hadnt aged a day. Hodg-
sons apolitical, family-friendly
jokes kept dedicated fans laugh-
ing long into the night, and when
it was over, I took note of those I
had shared the evening with.
The two women sharing my
table had driven down fromSyra-
cuse, N.Y., and many had traveled
even farther for the event. When I
first heard that Riffing Myself
was coming to Scranton, I was
relieved that I didnt have to drive
to Philadelphia to see the show. I
assumed many others would feel
the same, but I recognized only
two familiar faces amongst the
crowd. This is why we cant have
nice things.
Shows like this dont come
around often, and I think its great
that the SCCtook a chance from
its usual programming and book-
ed Joel for the evening and they
did a fantastic job with its setup
and organization. The turnout
wasnt bad, but it should have
been packed considering the
enduring popularity of MST3K,
and it should have been brimming
with locals.
You attract the entertainment
you support, and if you should
support anything, it should be
your fellowgeek. We always end
up returning the favor, after all.

Bassist Pete Wentz tells The
Ralphie Show that Fall Out Boys
fifth studio album, Save Rock and
Roll, is completely recorded.
I think, if anything, we would
have to worry about (the release
date) getting pushed forward,
revealed Wentz of the current slated
target of May 7. Ive heard that
discussion, but I dont know.
Typically, the only time an album
release is pushed forward is if the
lead single takes off on the charts
and the LPwill fall in front of some
type of tour. Fall Out Boy will hit
the road for 33 shows starting May
14. Right now, My Songs Know
What You Did in the Dark (Light
EmUp) had a solid debut on the
Billboard Hot 100, landing at 26.
The video features rapper 2 Chainz
in the role of an arsonist. I asked
Wentz why he chose the hip hop
artist.
Thats exactly why, replied
Wentz, insinuating that the band
simply wanted to get people asking
questions, not exactly a foreign idea
to FOBs game plan. Hopefully
well have something else down the
road.
That something else is a pos-
sible remix to My Songs Know, a
collaboration that Wentz admitted
he is holding his breath for.
Fall Out Boy fans were holding
their breath that the band would
return fromits self-described hiatus
to release newmusic and tour.
While it seems everyone in the
group agrees that the break was
necessary, at least one member
could have continued to play:
drummer Andy Hurley.
I think there was an oversat-
uration, and I think people needed
to decompress fromyears of tour-
ing and stuff, Hurley noted.
I mean, it ended up being a
super healthy thing for all of us
personally and for the band, too,
Wentz added.
PROBSTSDAYTIMETALK
SHOWCANCELLED
Jeff Probst understood that his
survival as a daytime talk showhost
weighed on one factor: ratings.
In daytime right now, the goal is
you need to get renewed for a sec-
ond year, Probst stated. Thats
what were trying to accomplish
now; convincing NBCand CBSto
say, Yeah, lets do it another year.
The Survivor host spoke with
me about a week before CBSan-
nounced that The Jeff Probst
Show would not return for a sec-
ond season. Probst felt confident
with the product he put forth.
I love the showwe put on, he
said. People have been very posi-
tive, but the only thing that matters
are ratings.
Probst told me that the transition
to daytime has been a rollercoas-
ter at times but that hes found his
way and was planning to bring on a
co-host. Meanwhile, hell continue
to fly solo as the anchor of Survi-
vor. The reality showentered its
26th season last Wednesday with
Survivor: Caramoan Fans vs.
Favorites. Probst credits the shows
longevity with its incredibly loyal
audience because after all, in the
end, it boils down to ratings.

It was spring break 2009. My
roommates went home while I
stayed at our apartment. I usually
hated having the place to myself
since it was boring without my
three roommates around, but it
was nice being able to pee in the
kitchen sink without the fear of
getting caught for a change.
When I came home from work
one night, I passed the girl who
lived across the hall.
Amanda.
I never spoke to her before.
The only thing I knew about
Amanda was that my roommate,
Roger, was secretly in love with
her. I decided to strike a con-
versation, hoping it would help
develop a neighborly friendship
that could help me hook her up
with my roommate. I told her she
was welcome to stop by some-
time.
The next afternoon, she came
over and we decided to watch a
movie.
Fifteen minutes later we were
in my bed. Naked.
Just as I was about to glaze her
donut, I heard a knock on my
bedroom door. It was one of my
roommates!
My jaw dropped. I couldnt let
my roommates see me with
Amanda.
I placed my index finger over
her lips.
Shhh! They cant know youre
here, I whispered.
In an effort to think fast, I
directed her toward my closet.
Ill get you when they leave,
I whispered as I made her lay
down, quickly covering her with
my dirty laundry. Something tells
me it wasnt the layered look she
was going for.
Are you serious right now?
Why cant they know Im here?
she asked.
I couldnt tell her my room-
mate was in love with her.
Im dating my roommates
sister, I lied. Hell kick my ass
if he finds out.
The statement was half true.
Once Amanda was camou-
flaged in my dirty laundry, I
made my way to the living room.
My roommates said they came to
surprise me for the afternoon
because they felt bad I was alone.
Over the next three hours, we
drank cheap beer, played Xbox,
and ordered pizza. Amanda was
in my closet the entire time. I felt
awful. My stomach was in knots,
nervous that she was going to
randomly burst out of my room
like the Kool-Aid Man in Fam-
ily Guy. How would I explain
that?
After they left, I immediately
told Amanda the coast was clear.
As she made her way out of the
pile of laundry I made her hide
under, it looked like my closet
was giving birth to a naked 21-
year-old college girl. It was the
Hey, it could happen! McDo-
nalds commercial I always
dreamed of as a kid.
For some reason, she never
came over again.

A 20-SOMETHINGS WILD ADVENTURES
Justin Brown | Weekender Correspondent
A comfy enough place to snuggle into, sure, but for
three hours?
Traveling is one of those things
that you either really love or
really hate. I know some people
that refuse to get on a plane and
others that jump at the chance to
go anywhere new. Personally, I
like to get out into the world and
see new things. The list of places
I would kill to go to is pretty
long, and I have only just begun
crossing places off the list. A few
places on my list have even made
the list of top eco-friendly cities
in the world.
First up, San Francisco. I have
only been to San Francisco once
but I loved every second of it.
While there, I got to see a lot of
the city, including where Jack
Kerouac spent much of his time
writing. Whats great about San
Francisco is that 17 percent of it
is devoted to parks and green
space, so while its still a city,
you still have parks to escape to.
Nearly half of San Franciscos
residents use some form of pub-
lic transportation, walking or
biking to work each day, and the
city has also been a leader in
green building. San Francisco
has even banned the use of non-
recyclable plastic bags.
When I was a kid, my family
lived in England, so we spent
some time in London. Recently,
Mayor Ken Livingstone unveiled
a Climate Change Action Plan
for the city of London. With the
new plan, London will switch 25
percent of its power to locally
generated and more efficient
sources, cut CO2 emissions by
60 percent within the next 20
years, and even improve energy
efficiency in residential homes. I
really need to get back there to
see all the improvements!
Portland, Ore. is a place that I
have never been to but am dying
to visit. Portland is the first city
in the United States to enact a
plan to reduce CO2 emissions
and is also pushing green build-
ing plans. This city also uses a
variety of green transportation,
including the light rail as well as
green buses to help keep cars off
the road. 92,000 acres of green
space are also a part of Portland,
providing over 74 miles of hiking
trails.
A city on the list that surprises
me the most is Philadelphia, Pa.
The City of Brotherly Love has a
goal to become Americas num-
ber one green city. Philadelphia
plans to decrease city govern-
ment energy consumption by 30
percent and reduce energy con-
sumption in buildings citywide
by 10 percent. Mayor Michael
Nutter released Greenworks
Philadelphia and created the
Mayors Office of Sustainability
with some pretty hefty goals to
become the greenest city. Lets
hope Philadelphia can reach its
goal!
Last on my list of green cities
is Copenhagan, Denmark. Co-
penhagen has a huge offshore
wind farm used for electricity
and is known for its residents all
using bikes to get around. More
recently, Copenhagen won the
European Environmental Man-
agement Award for cleaning up
public spaces and its plans to
preserve the environment long-
term.
Other green cities I would love
to visit: Barcelona in Spain,
Sydney in Australia, and Bang-
kok, Thailand. While there are
certainly many more cities out
there making the right steps
toward environmental preserva-
tion, these are the ones that
caught my eye. One day I hope to
have them all crossed off my list!

A two-hour trip from Fort
Indiantown Gap to Scranton. $90
for two cases of 20-ounce bottles.
A region on the hunt, madness in
their eyes at the memory of a
sweet cherry taste it was the
fssszzz heard round Northeast
Pennsylvania when bottles of
Cherikee Red were cracked open
once again by area residents.
The little slice of cherry-fla-
vored carbonated heaven was a
staple in supermarket, convenient
store, and pizza joint shelves in
the area years ago, produced by
the Crystal Club soda company
in Scranton. The plant shut down
within the last decade, and Cheri-
kee went with it until now.
Mike Brunettis pizza shop and
deli on Sanderson Avenue in
Scranton seems to be where the
shipments first began to come
into, setting off the frenzy.
It came in the Friday before
Super Bowl, and every day that
week following I sold at least six
cases, Brunetti said. That Fri-
day, at the end of the week, I sold
25.
The Canada Dry/Royal Crown
Co. distributor in Olyphant is the
company placing the orders for
local stores, receiving the product
from the American Bottling Co.
plant in Columbus, Ohio.
The local distribution points
have spread and spread, with
people Facebooking, Tweeting,
and Instragramming sightings
from West Pittston to Wilkes-
Barre to Dupont. Hash tags like
nectarofthegods and first-
ofmany have accompa-
nied such pictures.
The Facebook page
Bring Back Cherikee
Red has been posting
places where shipments
have come in, but these
social media blips seem to
be just that: brief glimpses
of the syrupy sweetness,
for the minute a shipment
comes into a store, the
bottles go right back out
again.
Stores are working to
order more to meet de-
mand, but as of now, its a
waiting game.
Were working on get-
ting another shipment in
right now, Jimmy Roma-
nelli of customer service at
Gerritys Shur Save in
Wyoming said. We got seven
shipments in and each went
within a day.
Brunetti has the craziest tales
to tell a man drove from Wal-
lenpaupack and sat in his parking
lot awaiting purchase, another
from Fort Indiantown Gap re-
quested bottles be held for him,
and a half-dozen bottles are
being shipped to Florida for a
former NEPA resident. He also
encountered someone who want-
ed to buy two whole cases, which
he said he would sell for face
value at $45 a piece the cus-
tomer didnt blink an eye and
walked out with all the soda he
wanted.
Its no secret that theres a great
demand for the soft drink, but the
question remains: Whats the big
deal about it? Some balk at the
cojones one has to even make
such an inquiry.
How do you not love it? Are
you not from this area? You cant
be if you either have no idea
what it is or arent killing your-
self to get a bottle since its
back, insisted Josh Sweeney of
Hanover Township.
Its addicting, added Stepha-
nie Mann of Scranton. You
could try to find another drink to
replace it, but theres no way.
Nothing tastes like Cherikee
Red.
Its our history in a bottle,
said Eric Skurka of Wilkes-
Barre. You drink it and it brings
you back to all the great experi-
ences and feelings you had when
you were a kid and things were
just awesome.
Brunetti, who is being called
Mr. Cherikee Red by his wife,
agrees with Skurka that the sell-
ing point for the soda is simple.
Its the nostalgia.

Welcome to the 90sagain.
The economy may not be mirror-
ing the 1990s, but the styles are
back! This should be no surprise,
since we just wrapped up the
return of the 80s.
While windowshopping the
other day, I came across an ad
where the model was wearing an
oversized red plaid flannel paired
with shiny Doc Martens cant
get much more 90s than that. I
could smell the CKOne and feel
my pager going off.
Gone are the days of the super-
model dreamteam: Naomi
Campbell, Christy Turlington,
Cindy Crawford, and Linda Evan-
gelista.
Hot off the runway are mis-
matched prints, bright colors,
S&M-style black and whites, and
the ever-popular bohemian chic
dresses and accessories, which
are still on trend fromthe 1970s.
And all major retailers are ped-
dling floral pattern skinny jeans.
The Dsquared fashion show
started with a remix of C+CMu-
sic Factorys Pride (ADeeper
Love) for their spring 2013 show.
DKNYhas even re-released15
runway styles fromits archives
from1991-1994.
DKNYwas a pioneer of
streetwear fashion in the 90s,
Opening Ceremony co-founder
Carol Limsaid in a statement.
We have been longtime fans of
the brand and were very excited to
bring back select, quintessential
styles that feel fresh even today.
The collection is currently
available in stores and at opening-
ceremony.us, priced between
$145 and $665. Amongst the
faves are the trademark logo
hoodies, NYCskyline tee shirts,
maxi dresses, and the quintessen-
tial bodysuit.
For the men, its all about
grunge and modern preppy; a
minimalist contrast to the loud
and over-styled1980s. Think of
what Weezer frontman Rivers
Cuomo did to bring back the
Buddy Holly look. Dork-chic was
born again with the infamous
sweater that must be destroyed,
tight pants, black rimmed glasses,
and short preppy hair. Thankfully,
the frosted and spiked tip hair-
style will remain out of favor, as
well as the curtained look that
Leonardo DiCaprio sported on
Growing Pains. But just wait for
itThat may come back into
favor. Things that probably wont
come back into the spotlight:
t-shirt slides, bicycle shorts,
windbreaker suits, and fanny
packs. And if they do, sorry, my
bad!
Meanwhile, the women are
sporting the effortless no fuss,
smooth, straight hair that was so
popular mid-90s. Now, this isnt
permission to dig out your old
baby doll dresses, furry hats, and
knee socks, la Clueless. The
90s fashion isnt completely
replicating itself like Dolly the
sheep; there is still an applied
modern twist.
If you need further proof, New
Kids on the Block is on a sold-out
tour, former alternative drummer
Dave Grohl is the face of rock n
roll, and Claire Danes is as hot as
she was in My So-Called Life.
Oh well, whatever, never-
mind

I had a dinner date at the casi-
no with my friend Kristi. Thank-
fully, she is perpetually late for
every life event, so my less than
timely arrival put me right on
schedule.
We strolled in looking like the
odd couple as usual. Kristi is
always a jeans and flip flop girl,
and I fully overdressed and in
six-inch heels. We sat down in
the Rustic Kitchen at Mohegan
Sun at Pocono Downs and chat-
ted about our day. She had started
a new job and wanted me to meet
one of her coworkers who she
thought was perfect for me. He
was a divorcee and a little older
than I. She pointed out that lately
I hadnt had much luck with men
my own age and that maybe
someone more mature would be
good for me. I decided to try it
out; I was already dressed to
impress, and what is the harm in
a drink?
She texted him and invited him
to the casino to meet. An hour
later, Harry walked in. The three
of us sat at Breakers for a while
until Kristi decided to call it a
night. After she left, I stayed and
chatted with Harry and we really
hit it off. We exchanged numbers
and went our separate ways. I
thought it went rather well and
was very pleased with Kristis
taste in men for me. I went to
sleep with a smile.
The next morning when I
awoke, I had 15 missed text
messages. Apparently, Harry
decided to continue to drink after
our departure. It started out in-
nocent enough: I had a nice
time, Id like to see you again,
and each text became increasing-
ly more forward until text num-
ber 14. It was a picture message;
and it was a nude.
My jaw dropped at this un-
expected string of events. Then I
read text 15, time stamped 4:24
a.m.: You rude bitch. I send you
a picture and you dont have the
common decency to respond! I
texted Kristi for advice; I had no
idea how to respond to this. She
said shed get the dirt at work that
morning.
The hours ticked by and later
when she called me, she said that
she heard through the grapevine
that Harry has a nasty habit of
exposing himself to the ladies
after a few cocktails. Damn, I
thought I was special. A few of
the other girls in the office had
similar run-ins with getting pho-
to-c--ked. I decided to tell Harry
that I cannot see him again. He
didnt ask for an explanation of
my decision; in fact, he had no
response at all.
I guess not all things get better
with age maybe Ill just stick to
wine.

TALES OF DATING DISASTERS
Melissa Hughes | Weekender Correspondent
Well, thats not the type of text you expect after just
meeting someone.
Taking a gamble
on an older man
NOT EVEN A PIN DROP
Officials at Englands 12th-
century St. Peters Church in
Seaford, East Sussex, which is
renowned for its eerie quiet,
created a 30-minute CD recently
of near-total silence, first as a
small-scale fundraising project,
but later for general sales (since
word-of-mouth had attracted
orders from as far away as Gha-
na). Those who have heard it said
they could make out only the
occasional squeaking of footsteps
on the wooden floor (and the
very distant hum of passing
cars). Said one admiring par-
ishioner, "People sometimes like
to sit down and just have a bit of
peace and quiet."
GOVERNMENT IN ACTION
-- France has seen its wolf
population gradually increase
from near-extinction in the
1930s, but still classifies the
predator as a "protected" species.
However, sheep farmers increas-
ingly complain that wolves
attacks are reducing their herds.
Therefore, in a recently proposed
"National Wolf Plan," the gov-
ernment boldly gave headline-
writers around the world material
for rejoicing: a national program
to "educate" the wolves. Individ-
ual wolves known to have at-
tacked sheep would be caught,
marked and briefly detained, with
the hope that they would learn
their lesson from that trauma and
from then on, pass up sheep and
turn instead to rabbits, boar and
deer. (Said one critic, "You might
as well try to educate a shark.")
-- Updates: The Treasury De-
partments inspector general for
tax administration revealed in
January that twice as many
fraudulent income tax refunds
were paid to inmates in 2011
(173,000) as for the tax year
2010. However, the IRS claimed
that the fraudulent returns it did
manage to stop totaled $2.5
billion (almost half of which was
disingenuously claimed by two
inmates). Also, the Department
of Health and Human Services
inspector general revealed in
January that Medicare was ille-
gally billed for $120 million from
2009 to 2011 for services used by
inmates and illegal immigrants --
neither category of which is
authorized to use Medicare.
-- Recurring Theme: As of
January, New York City music
teacher Aryeh Eller, 46, has
almost reached a milestone in his
battle with the Board of Educa-
tion. Soon, he will have earned a
million dollars in salary and
benefits since the board removed
him from the classroom13 years
ago and dispatched him to a
light-duty "rubber room" after
complaints of fondling and sex-
ual harassment in the one year
that he actually taught. An ar-
bitrator had found insufficient
evidence for his termination, but
the board refuses to let him back
in the classroom, fearing he is a
danger to students.
GREAT ART!
-- Not Expected to Fly Off the
Shelf: Icelands menswear de-
signer Sruli Rechts autumn/
winter 2013 collection, debuting
in Paris in January, included a
ring made from a four-inch slice
of his own skin (removed during
recent abdomen surgery, then
salted and tanned to give it stur-
diness). The ring (called "Forget
Me Knot") carries a price tag of
$500,000 -- considering that the
rest of the ring is 24k gold.
-- In Russias coldest region
(the Siberian republic of Yaku-
tia), artist Mikhail Bopposov
created a massive, nearly 900-
pound cobra statue (honoring the
Chinese Year of the Snake) --
made entirely of cow dung.
Though at this time of the year
the sculpture freezes, Bopposov
plans to sell it when it melts,
since fertilizer is a valuable com-
modity during the regions short
summers. (Actually, this is Bop-
posovs second foray into dung
art, after last years winged ser-
pent he created for the Chinese
Year of the Dragon.)
POLICE BLOTTER
-- Hard Times: According to
police in Idaho Falls, Idaho,
Mark Carroll, 18, masked and
armed with a handgun, is the one
who threatened and robbed the
night-shift clerk at the Maverik
convenience store on New Years
morning. The clerk was Donna
Carroll, Marks mother, but po-
lice said that it was not an "in-
side" job and that she still does
not believe the man behind the
mask was her son.
-- Major Crimes Unit: (1.)
Sheriffs deputies in Tampa were
searching in January for the thief
who stole a wallet from a car and
used the victims debit card three
times -- once at a gas station and
twice to wash clothes in the
laundry room of the Country-
wood Apartments. (2.) Edward
Lucas, 33, was arrested in Sli-
dell, La., in November and
charged with theft from the sher-
iffs department headquarters.
Lucas reportedly had walked in
and requested a file, and while he
was waiting (as surveillance
video later confirmed), he fur-
tively swiped three ball-point
pens from the reception area.
-- Judges in Danger: (1.) Sher-
iffs deputies in Ozaukee County,
Wis., identified Shelly Froelich,
48, as the woman who allegedly
called the jail in January and
asked if Judge Thomas Wolf-
gram was in, and when informed
that he wasnt but that hed be in
court the following morning,
said, "Good. Tell him I have a hit
on him." Deputies said Froelichs
son was in lockup and that his
mom had several times before
issued threats to judges after her
son had been arrested. (2.) James
Satterfield, 58, was arrested in
Cobb County, Ga., in December
after police said he wrote a letter
to the wife of Judge Reuben
Green vowing to eat the couples
children after "cook(ing) them
first to make them more palata-
ble."

STRANGE CRIME STORIES & MORE

PEOPLE WITH ISSUES
Michael Selleneit, 54, pleaded guilty in January to several charges
including attempted murder in an October 2011 attack on a neigh-
bor, who Selleneit had declared was raping Selleneits wife -- "tele-
pathically." In fact, police said, Selleneit had been making that
claim "for years," though he had not taken action until October
2011. His wife, Meloney, was also charged, as she allegedly goaded
her husband on, telling him to "go for it," and even supplying the
gun. Both spouses have been extensively examined by mental
health professionals, and it turns out that Michael is the saner of
the two. He had been ruled "competent" to stand trial, but Mel-
oney has so far not been.

The "Xenomorphs" are back
with the release of "Aliens:
Colonial Marines" (ACM),
based on the classic science
fiction movie series. There have
been many "Aliens" games over
the years, such as "Aliens vs.
Predator" games, but most of
them were pretty bad.
The new game has been hotly
anticipated because it was made
by Gearbox Software, a compa-
ny that has an excellent pedi-
gree of shooter games, such as
"Borderlands." Gearbox and
20th Century Fox are calling
this game an official sequel to
the 1986 "Aliens" movie; its
story picks up weeks after the
events that occurred in the
James Cameron movie with a
new squad of marines sent in to
explore the abandoned Sulaco
spaceship.
I havent played a good sur-
vival horror
game in a
while and
thought I
could use a
good scare,
so I picked
up "ACM."
The thing that
makes the "Aliens" series a
thrill is how they can hide and
come at you at any time, which
raises the tension. If you are a
human, you never want to be
face-to-face with a Xenomorph
they are really scary and a
great threat to have in a survival
horror game. They are slimy
looking, they have claws and a
tail, their blood is acid, and they
can even bite you with a little
mouth within their mouth.
The "Aliens" series has influ-
enced just about every other
science fiction series that has
been out since the 80s, so even
though the abandoned space
station environment feels famil-
iar, its nice to see actual recre-
ations of locations in the movie,
with details such as the bottom
half of Bishops dismembered
body. You can even look around
the living quarters. Its great to
see the level of fan service
throughout the game, and the
presence of these Easter eggs is
the games best quality.
My biggest issue with the
game is the enemy AI the
aliens didnt hunt in packs and
they didnt seem that smart, so
the there wasnt as much of an
overwhelming feeling as there
should have been. In a way, it
feels like a shooting gallery, a
"House of the Dead" style
game. Its not great for a first-
person shooter, but its not the
worst shooter I have ever
played.
In a good horror game, there
should be a sense of hopeless-
ness, but "Colonial Marines"
allows you to carry all of your
weapons at once, and there is no
shortage of ammo; even big
scary Xenomorphs dont seem
scary when youve got seven
different assault rifles and a
shotgun. Even though its not
that scary, it is a decent shoot-
ing game; there are some levels
where they switch up the ga-
meplay by removing
your weapons and
you have to sneak
around. These levels
are interesting, but
its a shooter and not
a stealth game, so
the sneaking mechan-
ics arent great.
There are some interesting
online components to this game;
you can play this game online
with four player co-op, which
can be fun. The other modes are
pretty standard, such as death-
match, survival mode where you
fight against waves of aliens,
extermination mode, and escape,
which reminds me of Left 4
Dead, where your marines need
to reach an extraction zone. My
favorite multiplayer mode allows
you to play as the Xenomorphs,
which can be interesting; they
are agile and can climb on walls
and ceilings. It is a bit disori-
enting, but it does feel different
then the average FPS game. The
only problem is when you are
playing as an alien, it doesnt
feel as powerful as a marine,
which is a shame because it
should be awesome to hunt your
friends as a fearsome alien.
If you are a diehard "Aliens"
fanatic, then you should play
this game; it is great fan ser-
vice. But if you are looking for
a good shooter, then you could
pass on this game. Its not the
survival horror game I was
looking for, but its nice to see
the "Aliens" series getting some
love from a great developer.

I rescued this car. When
my grandfather died, it
had been sitting in his
garage for a while; no one
in the family wanted it,
Sokolowski said. I got it
running and then restored
it little by little. As long as
I have his Cadillac, it feels

Beer: Eurotrash Pilz
Brewer: Southern Tier
Brewing Company
Style: Czech Pilsner
ABV: 5.20%
Description: Eurotrash Pilz
is Southern Tiers spring sea-
sonal offering. This Czech
pilsner pours an amazingly
clear straw yellow with a light
white head that has very mild
retention. Eurotrash has very
little in the area of aroma
slight hints of malt blended
with noble hops. The aroma is
very pleasing and what is typ-
ically expected for a tradition-
al pilsner but is just a tad on
the light side. The first sip
brings on the flavors of bread
and biscuit malts and follows
with the mild spiciness from
the noble hops and finishes
mildly sweet and dry. Howev-
er, for a Czech pilsner, this
does not finish dry enough
and leaves a slight lasting
wetness on the palate. Typical-
ly a good Czech pilsner fin-
ishes dry and cleanses the
palate completely. Now this is
not to say Eurotrash Pilz is not
good because of this fact; its
just a mere observation. Eu-
rotrash is fairly carbonated as
well, and this makes it a good
match for a wide amount of
dishes. Eurotrash Pilz is a
fairly good example of the
style, but seems to lack in the
crispness of many other exam-
ples, but it is still unquestion-
ably worth a try.
Food pairing: Great Czech
pilsners have a hop boldness
and crispness that are a perfect
match for many spicy dishes.
However, Eurotrash Pilz is
lacking much of that boldness
and may become overwhelmed
by many aggressive dishes. Yet
this does make Eurotrash great
for a lot of American fare.
Eurotrash Pilz would be a
great pairing for that Friday
night pizza just go easy on
the toppings. This pilsner
would also go well with a nice
cheeseburger and French fry
meal. Now do not think the
Eurotrash is as weak of a
pilsner as Budweiser, but
many of the same types of
food you would have while
drinking a Budweiser would
meld well with Eurotrash.
Is it worth trying? Its cer-
tainly worth a try and a great
thirst quencher. Eurotrash Pilz
is a great beer for those Bud-
weiser-drinking friends that
you have as an introduction to
the craft beer market. Howev-
er, there are certainly much
better examples of the style
out there, namely Pilsner Ur-
quell, which is pretty much the
standard for the style. I would
recommend grabbing a bottle
and trying it, even if just for a
nice palate cleanser.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
I imagine your emotion-ruled soul as a
vast, often turbulent, ocean. Compared to
that, your logic-ruled consciousness is
about as impressive as a four-year-old
with floaties on his arms. This week
brings high tides and huge waves. If
youve been practicing long enough, you
can try surfing them and possibly achieve
wildly exhilarating (if a bit out of control)
heights, or if not, you can safely dive
beneath them which in itself is exhaust-
ing but doable. Persist and youll get to
relatively calm emotional waters and a
unique chance to paddle out and explore.
Do it. Theres at least one cool surprise out
there waiting for you to find it.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
You remember that little dream? The
one that fell off your glory train a big hill
or two ago? It was a loose caboose of a
dream that derailed and rolled down into
the valley below. In the interest of getting
all your other goals and responsibilities
safely to their destinations, you had to let
it go. But a curious turn of events this
week may just bring you to a loop of track
that runs so close to that discarded dream
that you can hitch that baby right back on.
I cant imagine why you wouldnt.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
While youve rarely been so eloquent
expressing your emotions, youve also
rarely been so conflicted. At last, you can
give someone an accurate roadmap to your
inner self, but somehow it still doesnt
help; every signpost points in multiple
directions, including up, down, and back
the way you came. Dont freak; this is the
perfect opportunity to remind yourself
(and any travel companions that might be
tagging along) that the journey is way
more important than the destination. All
these roads lead to the same place, essen-
tially. Now its up to you: how exactly
would you like to get there?
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
This week, impetuous romance is in;
heartfelt emotional processing is out. I
cant really tell you what to do (Itd hardly
be spontaneous then, would it?), but I can
tell you what to steer clear of: Anything
that reeks of the familiar (even the pleas-
antly familiar) is a definite no-no. If it
smacks of the routine or the regular, avoid
it like the plague. And above all, dont
drag your lover into the dirty laundry pile
thats been building in your emotional
closet. You can air that shit out next week
when youre riding on the glow from this
one. For now, keep that door shut and get
out there and do something fun.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Im impressed by your daring heist,
robbing your lovers spiritual safe-deposit
boxes of all those supposedly valuable
insecurities. But youre not supposed to
sneak into peoples private vaults and steal
from them. That you have the wisdom to
not only rob them of their most precious
and self-destructive illusions but the pa-
nache to do it without setting off any
alarms is whats truly outstanding. Con-
gratulations! Now if only we could rid you
of the pesky delusion that any of the afore-
mentioned feats are possible. Dont think
you can painlessly dissect peoples long-
standing self-deceptions from their lives
sometimes the only way you can get them
to see the truth is to hit them in the face
with it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Unlike other fire signs, youre not blind-
ed by your passions. Youll ride the flash
flood force of whatever surging emotion
thunders your way, but at the same time
deftly survey the rapids ahead and paddle
like mad to save not only your skin, but
your heart, too. Arent you exhausted from
being constantly in control? How delicious
would it be to share the burden of staying
on top of things with someone equally
capable? Sure, you could lose an inflatable
rubber boat and a pair of plastic paddles,
but you could gain a fellow adventurer
you know you can trust a worthwhile
risk.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
What did you expect exactly, a ticker-
tape parade? Although your latest cre-
ations reception was more lukewarm than
youd like, you shouldnt get too pissed off
about it. Many artists and geniuses arent
appreciated until long after theyre dead.
The bad news is that youre not likely to
get any kind of immediate acclaim or
recognition for your brilliance. The good
news is that you wont have to wait until
some posthumous awards ceremony to
finally get the praise and acknowledgment
you deserve; it may come as early as next
month. Try to have a little patience, baby.
Itll pay off.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You reap what you sow should have
special resonance for you this week. Some
seeds are easy; you can throw them almost
anywhere and theyll grow, even under
inhospitable conditions, wrenching them-
selves up through a crack in the sidewalk
or clinging to the rocky face of a snowy
mountain. Others require more before
theyll sprout: fires, floods, extremely
specific temperatures, the right type of
soil, etc. So far, youve been casually
scattering seeds left and right, but unless
you take some time to at least water (and
maybe fertilize) the ones you really care
about, your life will soon be overrun with
weeds and not much else.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
May you get what you want. Is it
blessing or curse? My buddy tells me that
getting what you want is as simple as
asking for it; consequently, hes carefully
avoided asking for complicated things like
love and romance because then hed have
to deal with getting them. Unfortunately,
or fortunately, depending on your perspec-
tive, the universe is so primed to deliver
your desire that it might fixate on the most
random of comments. So you dont end up
with a joke of a cosmic present, spend this
week figuring out what it is you really
want more than anything else. Then ask
for it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You may have hit on a workable formula
for modest success. It was probably even
easy for you to figure out. Theres a way
things are done, and if youre good enough
at it, youve pretty much got it made.
However, there are other, more original
ways to hit it big, in whatever sense you
like. The vision youre contemplating is
one of these. Look ahead; you know what
your life on the Footpath of the Sure
Thing would be like. But imagine if you
had the courage to take the Boulevard of
Your Wildest Dreams. Guess what? You
do. Now dont chicken out.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Now that youve decided to release any
and all pent-up aggression before it further
corrodes your insides, youve got to figure
out a way to do it without causing yourself
more angst. Somehow I doubt that pop-
ping a sheet of bubble wrap is going to cut
it. Its time to get a little more hardcore
about releasing your anger. At the very
least, rent some time in a batting cage
where you can hit the hell out of some
balls; it might even be time to make an
appointment with a brick wall and stack of
thrift store china. Please do finally un-dam
those years of unexpressed rage, but dont
forget the second, more important part
figuring out someplace for the flood to go.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Despite months of preparation, its not
until the starting bell has sounded that you
realize a few things: As expected, youre
in a kickboxing ring about to duke it out
with the greatest single source of your
most debilitating insecurities. But with
panic you realize you forgot the mouth-
piece thats supposed to guard your teeth,
the padded headgear designed to prevent
brain damage, or any other protective
equipment. Unfortunately, theres no back-
ing out now without forfeiting the match,
especially not with the frenzied screams of
half-mad onlookers urging you on. Still, I
predict that if you stay alert, make use of
your newfound flexibility, and keep mov-
ing, youll win this fight without your
protective gear; without, in fact, your
opponent even landing a punch.
