Hot Mess. Its what I am most of the time.
Im a big believer in print media. Thats one of many reasons I do what I do, so whenever I hear of an effort to keep that medium alive, I applaud it. Zines take this to a whole new level. Behind the scenes, quite a bit of work goes into the production of each issue of The Weekender, but at least we have a bit of modern technology on our side were not making this thing by hand. I cut and paste in Photoshop zinesters cut and paste with scissors and glue.
Like any handmade craft, it gives the art a sense of purpose, an authenticity that computers cannot often convey. The Scranton Zine Fest brings all that right here, so we talked with some zinesters on pages 32 and 33 to understand what they do and why they do it. Their answers were all very different, but one thing was the same they love reaching new and interesting people with their work. I can relate to that, too. -Rich Howells, Weekender Editor

typical daily newscast can come and go without reporting any good news. Theres always something bad going on somewhere, he laments. Thats what we were getting at with the title of the album; this is how the world is today. There are, however, specific songs on the album that do deal with particular evils, such as mass murderer Ed Gein in Cleansed in Agony and the cryptic derangement of the Zodiac killer in Victim of the Zodiac. Those are two separate things that add to the downfall of society as a whole, says Ebersole. Even though all of the elements are aligned, Ebersole doesnt call The Dawn of Brutality a concept album. If you dig deep enough, I guess you can see certain aspects of that, he says. It was never really thought of as that, though. None of these songs were related in any way when I wrote them. We also have song called Slave of Addiction dealing with drugs or any kind of addiction. Thats another aspect of The Dawn of Brutality, drugs leading to things that are wrong with this world. Prosodys debut comes at an auspicious time for metal in Northeast Pennsylvania, a fact that Ebersole is quick to embrace. Theres an entire metal scene on the circuit now; metal has arrived, he emphasizes. You can go out every weekend now and
find a metal band playing in this area. 20 years ago, it wasnt like that; you had to wait a month until you got a show or you had to rent out a hall on your own weve done that in the past. Often times, you had band practice and invited your friends, and that would turn into a show because there was nowhere else to play. A discussion of the nowdefunct Moosic club Sea Seas sparks Ebersoles memory of the NEPA metal scene a couple of decades or so back and the particular niche that club occupied. If you werent playing at Sea Seas, you werent playing a show, he insists. If you go on the Internet, you can find people all over the country that know Sea Seas. That was the spot. I think a lot of club owners have seen what Sea Seas did back then and theyre starting to take advantage of it; its definitely easier for musicians now to be able to play a show. Were doing this because we like it, and its worked for us, says Ebersole of Prosodys sense of musical individuality. We write and play what we feel; its in our heart. I feel that if your hearts really in something, it makes it that much easier to succeed at it, and thats what were trying to do thats who we are. For more on the band, visit reverbnation.com/prosodymetal. The Dawn of Brutality is available now on iTunes, CD Baby, and Amazon.

album reviews
Jimmy Eat World rises from Damage
The music industry has changed more in the past 10 years than it has in the past 50. Granted, it has always been about record and ticket sales, but in todays world, a solid collection of songs from a mid-major rock band means almost nothing unless it can contend for Album of the Year. Also, the amount of acts that are relevant for longer than a couple of years has diminished. Gone are the days of rock bands becoming classics, and in has marched the days of singles and pop hits. Luckily, Jimmy Eat World has found a way to keep pressing on after gaining recognition from its hit The Middle in 2001, releasing its eighth studio album next week, titled Damage. The production is not what someone who has followed the band from its infancy may expect. It has a more live and raw sound (it was recorded to analog tapes), as opposed to the little bit of overproducing that was featured on the last few. Yet, it fits perfectly as the album is the most straightforward, honest, and confessional set of the songs the group has written to date. Its a tight, compact record; there arent any elaborate, extended instrumental passages or overindulgent guitar solos. Its a meat-andpotatoes rock record in the same vein as Bleed American, only less
aggressive at the outset. Please Say No is a lush ballad with spot-on backing vocals; the bouncy, acoustic-driven Book of Love is a fun listen, and Appreciation slides effortlessly between 4/4 and 3/4 time, carrying a vintage Jimmy vibe not seen since the late 90s. The albums absolute standout, No, Never, is a driving guitarrock number with a shimmering chorus and a hint of new wave synth. It doesnt overpower the track, just as each member of Jimmy Eat World doesnt overplay on any of the songs theyre four extremely talented musicians who know when to hold back. Its a solid work of songwriting all around, and perhaps its the trick to the group staying relevant after all of these years. Jimmy Eat World will not contend for Album of the Year or even have a monster radio hit, but a solid collection of songs like the ones of Damage should not go overlooked. -Matt Morgis, Weekender Correspondent

The Maine Forever Halloween Rating:
ww
The Maine remain Forever young

Fusions can create interesting new spins on genres as well as the way music is internalized by the listener, fusing audience demographics if (and only if) they are done effectively. The Maines new album Forever Halloween, released on June 4 by Eighty One Twenty Three, is a questionable attempt at combining pop and rock into something that ends up sounding like a watered-down version of Mumford &
Sons, but amped up with cheesy guitar solos. The Maine has a reputation of reaching out to teenagers and young girls through their poppy propaganda, most prominently displayed in their first album, Cant Stop Wont Stop. It seems as though they are trying to use Forever Halloween to breach the wall of pop that has culminated around them to break into some sort of pop or indie rock scene, instead bouncing off the wall and knocking them over. The problem is simply that theyre trying way too hard to do something theyre just not good at rock. Album covers can say very little or a lot about the content of the music its encasing; in the case of Forever Halloween, it just provokes the idea that they really are trying way too hard. The skeleton looks like something that should appear on a Brand New cover or an indie punk band maintaining their image with an abstract title to coincide. Forever Halloween sounds like a bunch of poppy, sensitive guys sat down and tried to think of an edgy album name, which seems to be the case. Forever Halloween can be contextualized. It will keep The Maine popular with young teenager girls, but it will not stylistically allow them to reach out to an older, more tasteful age as the musicians themselves mature, which can create a struggle to stay relevant to yourself and your fans. There is no doubt The Maine will create sales through the consistent younger demographic, but the question of whether or not they will sell out to themselves as they mature remains. -Erika Firestone, Weekender Correspondent
2009 and 2010. Still, its been quite a while since weve heard from the Queens, and Like Clockwork (ironic album title fully intended by the band) is a welcome return. The albums first single, My God is the Sun, continues the bands tradition of releasing some of its hardest rocking tracks as singles. The song begins with a simple but distinctive riff, split between Homme and fellow guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen and accentuated at the end by Dave Grohls hard-hitting snare drum beats. After about 10 seconds of this, the guitars divide into harmonies and Grohl shifts to a driving beat and the song really takes off. Yet nothing else on Like Clockwork uses that same full speed ahead style.

Drummer remembered as father, friend in 28-band concert

By Rich Howells
Weekender Editor
The night before his interview with The Weekender, Bryant August had a surreal but poignant dream about his friend and bandmate RJ Minichello, who passed away suddenly on April 12. It was strange because in the dream he came back, and eventually he had to go back, but he was talking to me. He was just joking around and being himself. It just felt really weird, and then I was talking to his wife and his daughter had a dream last night too and he was holding her hand. She told me that it felt real. I gave him a hug and it felt real, August described. They say that people who have passed away can reach you in your dreams. Some people believe in that, and some people dont. Its clear which side he falls on as he talks about Minichello, well-known in the Northeast Pennsylvania music scene for drumming in over 30 bands, including Calm Waterz (which became Gemstone), Newpastlife, Bliss, Spitshine, Destination West, and Simon Sez. August played with Minichello in his latest band, The Switch, for about a year before his untimely passing at age 39. He was very talented. He put his own spin on things. Thats the thing with live music you can play along to the CD, but if put your own spin on it, it makes it interesting, and thats why we eventually started doing these different medleys and mash songs together, he noted. The Switch was kind of about doing crowd-pleasing music, but then turning into music that we wanted to do. The first set would be what bars want you to play because everyone is going to sing along to it; our second set we would slightly go into the mainstream, but were doing stuff that we want to do; and then the third set was hard rock, lower tunings, different stuff like that. He had the good gear, and he knew what he was doing He did some drum teching for Fosterchild and Tantric and Fuel he went out on tour with them, all around the U.S. More importantly, though, August remembers him as a

great friend and father. He was just a great guy. He was always joking around, always laughing. He really cared about his kids. He was an awesome dad, he emphasized. After practice, he would be shooting hoops with his younger daughter. He would do anything for his kids. It is appropriate, then, that his extended musical family will be raising money to support his two young daughters, Abigayle and Skylar, on Sunday, June 9. 28 bands (with The Switch performing twice) will play three venues throughout the day, using Minichellos own drum kits. It is $5 for each show or $10 for access to all three. I started (organizing the event) by researching and discovering what bands I knew he played in and what bands I didnt know he played in. I tried to get them first because that
is meaningful 90 percent of the bands (scheduled to play) he played with or knew him as a friend, August said, adding that some are reuniting for the first time in years. I named it Concert in Memory of RJ because thats what this is. We could say RJ Minichello Benefit, but I wanted the name concert in it because this is going to be a big event. This is something thats going to be special. August hopes the three simultaneous concerts, which will include raffles and other fundraisers, will bring the local music scene even closer together for a fitting tribute. The money is not the biggest thing. This day is about him, he said. The music industry is stronger than people think in this area. With this many bands supporting and honoring this musician and putting on a concert, I think people will know that this is something he would have wanted to happen. Depending on what people believe, he could be with us, kind of like how he was with me in my dreams.

Rockapella will do it at Penns Peak

Weekender Staff Writer
The bass line, deep and thrumming, comes in, followed by thumping drums. The vocals and other background sounds blend in with the rest and, suddenly, a full band fills your ears. Except thats not what it is not technically. Its actually a quintet of male voices, their vocals representing those big instruments you thought you heard at first. Its a cappella, and its a growing trend in the music industry these days thanks to movies like Pitch Perfect and shows like Glee. However, Rockapella has been in the business of strictly vocals for years now, practically perfecting the art. You may know them as the guys from TV game show Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? Their most recent album, Bang, is their 20th and showcases 13 original songs, as well as a bonus cover of Vampire Weekends A-Punk. The group, which currently consists of Scott Leonard (since 1991, high tenor), Jeff Thacher (1993, vocal percussionist), George Baldi III (2002, bass), John K. Brown (2004, tenor), and Steven Dorian (2010, tenor), will be at Penns Peak on June 7. We had a chat with Thacher, whose mouth drumming has changed the game for the guys that have been making mouth music for years. THE WEEKENDER: When you joined Rockapella in 1993, you brought your human beatbox skills with you. Was that a new thing? JEFF THACHER: It was. It was a very new experience for everybody. Nowadays, a cappella groups, its kind of a given that theyll go seek out mouth drums. Its a no-brainer, but nobody had really done it that whole time, until the early 90s. I was one of those people dabbling with it in another group, and Rockapella said, Hey, lets make this for real; lets make this full time. They had recordings that had individual, sequenced vocal percussion sounds in their albums, and they werent able to perform those live. They finally said, Hey, lets figure out a way to do this live. W: You can obviously take lessons for instruments like guitar and drums, but how do you learn how to do something like mouth music? JT: I always imitated sounds; when I was a kid, I made sound effects with my LEGO spaceships. I was part of a very musical family, so it was all around me. When I heard drum sounds on songs on the radio, imitating them seemed like a natural next step; I just kind of did it. I think the first song I ever did was Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. I would do the drum line, which is an

iconic one, and my brother would do the bass. That is what showed me it could be done. I just never thought Id be paid for it eventually. W: Does something like that hurt to do? JT: I like to describe it as playing a brass instrument. Its very similar; some of the techniques are the same. Youre not hurting your voice, but it does take muscles. Its an athletic activity like any other that just gets better with time. W: Rockapella touts a full band sound. How do you ensure you have such a sound when there are only five of you? JT: The true art of professional a cappella, in other words with a fewer number of members, is in the arrangements. When you have quintet or something like that, what you do with your backup vocals is really the key to your success in many ways. You can have an amazing lead, but you need something going on in the background that glues it all together in an intelligent way. W: Members have rotated over the years of Rockapellas run do you think that helps or hurts? JT: The trick is, when you have to replace someone, you dont take a backward step. You either evolve in a positive way or keep the quality just as good. Weve been very fortunate that weve been able to, whenever someone leaves, say, How can we evolve now? Weve been able to dip into a substantial talent pool. People are becoming better and better singers at a younger age. W: What do you believe is the appeal of a cappella music? What has kept you guys and the genre going for so long? JT: The reason is just as true as it was years and years ago: theres nothing between you and the music. People listening get it immediately. They dont have to look at a guitar and go, Oh, I cant play that. I wish I knew how, or What is that keyboard doing? You know immediately whats going on, and you can kind of relax because of that.

WEDNESDAY,
Queensrche puts new spin on old Operation

By Rich Howells
Weekender Editor
Frontman Geoff Tate has been performing Queensrche songs for over 30 years, but hes still just as excited to sing them now as he was then maybe even more so. With a new lineup and a new album called Frequency Unknown, Tate anxiously discussed his current musical direction with The Weekender in anticipation of the next leg of the Operation: Mindcrime 25th anniversary tour, coming to Brews Brothers West on Tuesday, June 11. THE WEEKENDER: You have one of the more distinctive voices in metal. Do you have to train consistently to keep it in good condition? GEOFF TATE: Yeah, well, I have to sing a lot. (Laughs) The voice is a muscle, you know, and you have to keep working it out. I start pretty early in the morning. When I get up, first thing I start doing scales and humming and that kind of thing and getting my voice up to par. By mid-day, Im singing fairly loudly and carrying on. Its an all-day kind of thing. It is rather challenging, though, when youre touring because it used to be that youd go out on the road and you had a show and pretty much you just waited until that point in the day, which is usually evening, before you actually had to sing. But nowadays, the industry being what it is, you get up at four oclock in the morning for a six oclock radio show where you have to performand then have another appearance later in the day where youre doing things, and then you have a sound check and a meet and greet and a sound check party, and then you have your performance and then you have another meet and greet after that. By the time you get to bed at night, its two or three in the morning and hopefully you dont have a radio show to do at six again the next day. W: Did the changing music industry affect the making of Frequency Unknown at all? GT: Oh yeah. It used to be that youd go to your mailbox and thered be a sizable check in there every three months; it just doesnt happen anymore. Even on your back catalog, the record sales have dwindled to amazingly low numbers now for everybody, not just Queensrche. W: What went into the writing process of this record? GT: I write all the time, and I have a back catalog of things that havent been released yet and Im working on constantly, so with this record, Frequency Unknown, four of us got together to write the record I thought, Wow, wouldnt it be fun to include a whole bunch of great players to interpret these songs? Wouldnt it be fun? Wouldnt it be challenging? Wouldnt it be kind of something new to do? Im always kind of looking for new ways of doing things, new ways of recording, new ways of experiencing the creative collaboration. What started out as a really inspirational idea, quickly the reality showed itself in that, if you want to use really great players, great players are in-demand, so it became a scheduling challenge to get everybody in the same place at the same time. W: Is there a particular tour with Queensrche that stands out as one of your most memorable? GT: Well, theyre all very memorable. Every tour is different and unique. The tour Im on right now is very different because Im playing with all these different people; some of them Ive never played with before, and thats a wonderful experience. I love that. I love collaborating on music with people, especially really great players that give the music their own interpretation. As a writer, you have an idea of what youre trying to get across when you write a song, and then you hand it to somebody else to play and they have a different interpretation, and sometimes, at least in my experience, that interpretation is quite different from your own and youre pleasantly surprised at how they seeit and how they view or how they hear it. Its refreshing. Of tours Ive done in the past, the Promised Land tour in 1984 was a real special tour for me. It was our first experience with putting on a theatrical presentation where we had multiple sets and we had film screens with imagery that interacted with the audience. We broke down that fourth wall between the performer and the audience for the first time, and I really, really enjoyed that. W: Does playing Operation: Mindcrime straight through each night bring back any memories from 25 years ago? Does it make you nostalgic at all? GT: I guess Im not very nostalgic as a person. I enjoy it immensely, playing this album on this last leg of the tour. Its actually the first time that Mindcrime has been performed live, and by that I mean the musicians actually playing the instruments. With Queensrche, we were always very limited. We had grand ideas and we didnt want to limit ourselves in the studio by saying, We cant do that live, so lets not do it on the record. We didnt want to think in those terms, so when it came time to play the music live, it would require more people on the stage performing than what we could afford, for example, and so what we did was we went the click track route. When we first started doing this, it was a much more primitive kind of method, but the click track would dictate the song and then we had flown in parts, sections like orchestra and backup vocals and things like that, on tape that would play to fill out the sound and make it sound more like the record. On the plus side, it was very economical to do that. But on the downside, it didnt give us any room to experiment with the songs. We couldnt improvise Youre not even listening to each other play anymore, so you lose that human element of a band thats coming together and youre not playing with each other anymore. With the presentation Im involved with now with the guys, were playing everything live Its a much more organic presentation of the music, which for me is incredible because I havent had that before. Its a whole new frontier. Its a whole new feel to the music, which I find to be incredibly exciting.

movie review
Now You See Me does the trick
By Mike Sullivan
Rating: W W W Weekender Correspondent
Its summertime. Weve all ritualistically burned our winter clothing and Christmas decorations during our Memorial Day barbecues, and now we can accept jorts into our lives. Normal rules no longer apply. We can sit in a kiddie pool on our front porch, cry our eyes out, and nobody will say a word because they understand what summer is all about. Its the only time of the year that were all too tired and sweaty to resist seductive garbage like Now You See Me even though in the back of our minds we know that nothing good can come from a ludicrous movie that tries to convince us that magicians arent just cool but dangerous. But we dont just accept the lie, we enjoy it. After all, its summertime. We can embrace our shame in the fall. Alternately functioning as a flashy, dumbed-down version of The Prestige and a gimmickheavy variation on Oceans 11, Now You See Me immediately grabs you with a dazzling opener that individually presents its lineup of wizards, illusionists, and magic men: Jesse Eisenberg is an arrogant, David Blaine-inspired street magician; Woody Harrelson is a rogue hypnotist who blackmails his subjects; Isla Fisher is an escape artist; and Dave Franco is a pickpocket (which, isnt all that magical. Every super group needs its Hawkeye, apparently). Once the team is assembled by a mysterious benefactor, they pull off their first improbable heist by robbing a bank in France from a stage in Las Vegas. Mark Ruffalo is the seemingly inept FBI agent whos tasked with apprehending The Four Horseman and anticipating their next move
without getting too distracted by the lovely but mysterious Interpol agent (Mlanie Laurent) who arrives one day and simply becomes his partner without any explanation. Meanwhile, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman share tough words and threaten each other with voodoo dolls. Its intense! In spite of its nearly two hour running time, Now You See Me is blessed with a nearly relentless pace. There isnt a moment that goes by in which there isnt a car chase or a knock-down, dragout brawl or some kind of CGIenhanced illusion. The audience is never really allowed to catch their breath, but thats by design. If Now You See Me ever slowed down, you would realize that none of it makes sense. For example, the films big twist revealing the identity of the benefactor behind The Four Horseman raises more questions than it answers (such as: How could s/he pull off a long con this elaborate and expensive on their measly salary?), and at times, The Four Horsemens talents are stretched far beyond credibility. Apparently, these guys can teleport at will and control peoples minds. Are they magicians or graduates of Charles Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters? Yet, these inconsistencies are
Now You See Me is a simple summertime ick that requires little thought.
never annoying because you wont realize there are inconsistencies until the credits start to roll. Now You See Me really is that much fun. Its the perfect summer movie. Its breezy, its occasionally amusing, and its plot holes will spark endless, fascinating discussions. For instance, how did the Horsemen find the time to sit down, inflate hundreds of balloon animals, and carefully place them inside a dummy safe while on the run from the FBI and Interpol? Think carefully; your reply could save the life of a hungry baby.

DMB keeps Scranton set fresh

R EV I EW
WEDNESDAY,
Weekender Correspondent
Since making its Scranton debut in the summer of 2005, the Dave Matthews Band has made the mountain a staple on its yearly summer tour. While many changes have occurred over the last eight years including the loss of a band member the outfit continues to draw one of the biggest crowds of the season. Last Wednesday, the band returned for what was billed as the first major show of the summer, and once again, DMBs rabid fan base had an early summer party. Beginning the night around 7:15 p.m., veteran jam band favorites moe. brought a funky 45-minute, five-song set which had people up and dancing, serving as the perfect act to start the nights festivities. Going on 25 years, the band veered away from any of its more recognizable numbers and delved into some deeper cuts like Blue Jeans Pizza, highlighted by some fine guitar from Al Schnier. Following a quick run through Buster, moe. gave a nod to Scranton by performing the theme song verbatim to The Office before leaving the stage for DMB, whose fans were already packed into their seats. Kicking off the night around 8:25, the band opened with an energetic take on the crowd favorite Warehouse from 1994s Under the Table and Dreaming, which showcased some fine brass work from Jeff Coffin and Rashawn Ross. The Idea of You, which has never been officially released on a

DMB album, was a fitting segue into Rooftop, one of the more lively cuts from its latest offering, 2012s Away from the World. The rest of the first half of the show featured an extended take on One Sweet World, complete with what seems like a never-ending brass riff, a dip back into the Crash album for a tight #41 with some exquisite guitar work from longtime collaborator Tim Reynolds, and an ode to late member LeRoi Moore with a funky Why I Am. Matthews, who seemed to be in a quirky mood, told a story of being asked by one of his friends how Scranton was as a venue, with Matthews answering about how the pavilion is covered by a big stretch of plastic or rubber on the ceiling, much to the delight of the nearcapacity crowd. Getting back to the music, the band let loose with Belly Belly Nice, a fan favorite from its latest release, following up with Sleep to Dream Her from 2001s Everyday album, which hasnt been played since September 2010. Another song returning to DMBs fold, the driving Hunger for the Great Light from 2005s Stand Up album resurfaced for the first time since September 2007. Something that seems to have become a standard for most shows over the last two years, Grey Street, was a welcome treat for the night before lead-

ing into another cut from 2002s Busted Stuff, a tender Where Are You Going. A drawn-out Squirm, showcasing some of the fine drumming of Carter Beauford, led into a mellow You Might Die Trying. One of more crowd-friendly selections of the night, JTR, blended into a track from its debut album, which Matthews swore the band was done playing, a pleasing Jimi Thing, including an ending reprise of Princes Sexy MF. Ending the set proper was an upbeat song which seems to have become a staple since its 2009 release, Shake Me like a Monkey, leaving the crowd eagerly anticipating the encore. Keeping the crowd in an upbeat mood, the band managed to knock the energy level down a bit with a very soft and mellow Sister before continuing the somber feel of the encore with Drunken Soldier from its latest effort and also a staple of nearly every show of the last year. Thankfully, the band picked back up with the final song of the night, a standard run through the longtime crowd favorite What Would You Say. Aside from the encore, the May 29 show provided the perfect kickoff to the 2013 Summer Concert Series and also continued Dave Matthews Bands tradition of never performing the same show twice. Since 2005, the bands Scranton appearances have become a yearly destination for everyone from this area, and if Wednesdays show was any indication, next year can only be better.
I often write about the nononsense approach to losing unwanted body fat and how you should stop overthinking and just do it. I do, however, understand that the task is not always that easy. While the process is fairly simple and straightforward, we often have reasons holding us back. Getting started might seem like a daunting task, especially as we start to get older. As we mature, we tend to become busier. We get married, have children, and move forward in our careers. This often allows less time to commit to staying or getting fit. That doesnt mean you should totally give up. It may be time for an overall assessment of yourself and time to reevaluate and prioritize your life. Remember to keep things simple when reevaluating yourself to increase compliance when following a new program. Here are five ways to keep things simple when implementing new strategies: 1. Identify your risk factors. No matter your age, knowing your risk factors for certain genetic medical issues can help keep hidden threats at bay. Know your family history and see a doctor for a complete check-up. 2. Be active. The single best strategy for improving your health is to start an exercise regimen.
Once your doctor gives you the green light, go out there and start moving. It doesnt matter what you do, just be sure to maintain consistency. Exercise is cumulative and it all contributes to improving your health. 3. Watch your nutrition. Forget the fad diets. Focus on adding healthy foods before eliminating things. Add something new every day or week. Not sure where to start? Even if you dont know exactly what to eat, most people know what not to eat. Start there. 4. Dont overdo it. Planning on going out for a high calorie meal? Go ahead and celebrate, but just dont go overboard. Be sure to exercise before you go out for this meal. You cant pre-burn all the calories you will be eating, but you can help offset them. 5. Kick the habit. Dont be discouraged if you tried to stop smoking in the past. It takes most people three to four times before they stop for good. The list above is just a short guide. There are many more ways to ensure you get started on the right track. Most imporatantly, remember this: While most of us have busy lifestyles, having the determination and desire to become fit is also a state of mind. Overcome that, and you can overcome anything.
It can certainly be tough to get on the road to shaping up and shipping out the body fat, but if you take it a step at a time, youre more likely to be successful.

As a New York Times bestseller, Laurie Notaros latest collection of essays, The Potty Mouth at the Table, demonstrates that she has quite a pretty mouth a pretty potty mouth. In firstperson narration, Notaro begins the work with Antiques No Show, a chapter that discusses her foray into her loving, and later hateful, relationship with Antiques Roadshow. I didnt always hate Antiques Roadshow. I used to like it. In fact, when it was announced that the show was coming to Eugene, I could hardly contain my excitement. I had waited for this opportunity for years, years, and I felt a little thrill in my chest every single time I thought about it. Because I had something good. [] So good that it might just make Antiques Roadshow history and end up in a museum with its own security guard. Subsequently, Notaro delves into her criticism of many social media cultures, everything from Pinterest to foodies (I Hate Foodies and Hierarchy of Foodies). If you have read Notaros work in the past, whether essay collections or novels, you will find this book to be darkly sarcastic in nature, to the point that her pieces often come across as negative or resentful. But, the collection as a whole does not leave a bad taste in the mouth. In fact, Notaros rant-like dialogue is outwardly witty and fun. Her writing has matured since her past collections have come and gone. While it is evident Notaro is still full of cynicism for much of the worlds social outlets, she gives readers a look into our own desperation. Her world may be very common, but her perceptions on how she views experiences in life are far from ordinary.
Dirty Mouth
WEEKENDER,
The Potty Mouth at the Table laurie notaro Rating: W W W V
Often, Notaro gives readers information regarding her most uncomfortable experiences. These incidents prove that no topic is too sacred, especially when it regards vomiting on oneself or discussing Anne Franks intimates. If, as a reader, you are overly serious, devoutly vegan, or consider taking photos of your food a favorite pastime, this book is definitely not for you. The collection may be selfdeprecating, but it is certainly funny. As Notaro seems to drive, it is far better to laugh at your situation then let it devastate you. In one of her concluding essays, Rewinding, Notaro discusses a friend suffering from end-stage brain cancer. It is here that readers see her maturity in full bloom. A mixture of compassion and lightheartedness, Notaro creates a brilliant and touching ending to an otherwise sardonic collection in preparation for a new chapter in her life.

Sands name game

Emeli Sands legal first name is Adele. She claims it isnt a common name back in the UK. Thats why it was so weird, she explained on The Ralphie Show, referring to her connection with THE Adele, surname Adkins. Maybe three years ago someone said, Oh theres this new singer Adele and shes getting bigger and bigger. Thats when I decided I should probably pick a different name. By this time, the buzz had already started around Adele with her album 19 and single Chasing Pavement. Sand made the wise decision to use her middle name. I was featured on a rappers track, she recalled. I thought, The name I pick here is going to have to be completely different. Sand went on to create her own name, both literally and figuratively, in the UK. Her LP, Our Version of Events, was the highest selling album in the UK for 2012, moving over a million units. Now, she is making a splash across the pond with her hit single, Next To Me. I feel like a newcomer over here, which has been really fun, she said. Its a massive country, but were slowly kind of getting things rolling. For just beginning her U.S. run in January, Sand has already accomplished quite a bit. Next To Me cracked the top 25 on six different Billboard charts, hitting number one at Hot Dance Club Songs. The singer performed at the American Idol finale, on Dancing With The Stars, Today, and at a special event in the White House. Sand also covered Beyoncs Crazy In Love for the Jay-Z produced Great Gatsby soundtrack. I was asked if Id like to come and do a version, explained Sand of her involvement with the project. Brian Ferry and his orchestra had put together the 1920s version. So, I was just honored to be involved with the project. She also made sure to seek out Jay at the red carpet premiere in New York. I think he liked it. He seemed really cool, she said. I think because I did my own thing on it, and it was more suited for the film, then it worked. For those keeping track at home, yes: thats events with Jay-Z and President Barack Obama in a months span. You could say Sands plan to switch her name as to not cause any confusion worked out just fine. - Listen to The Ralphie Show weeknights from 7 p.m.midnight on 97 BHT.

Infinite Improbability
image featuring bestiality. Two women were also charged along with Watkins; all three appeared in court Monday via video link to plead not guilty. The band was apparently just as shocked as its fans, releasing this statement on their website last year: Following charges made today against Ian Watkins, we find ourselves in a state of shock. We are learning about the details of the investigation along with you. It is a difficult time for us and our families, and we want to thank our fans for their support as we seek answers. Watkins denies the charges and says his name will be cleared, of course, but since hes facing so many, its hard to imagine that he truly did nothing wrong. Hes innocent until proven guilty, of course, but there must be boatloads of evidence against him for it to get this far. It makes me absolutely sick to even think about it. As a fan, you feel betrayed and lied to one minute youre relating to his lyrics and cheering for him at shows, and the next youre wondering if you can ever listen to those CDs again without feeling ill. Its like a friend who stabs you in the back, and while Im not a fan personally, I now know how As I Lay Dying fans must have felt when vocalist Tim Lambesis was charged with attempting to hire an undercover detective to kill his estranged wife last month, though Watkins crimes may be more akin to those that followed Michael Jackson throughout his life. As virtually everyone knows, Jackson was accused of sexually abusing several children, though none of the charges ever stuck. Considering his strange behavior and his own history of abuse, its likely that at least some of those stories were true, but for some reason, more fans stood by him than abandoned him, and when he died in 2009 at age 50, he was praised so frequently as a musical genius that it seems his legend could barely be scratched by the scandals he was so infamous for. What Watkins is accused of may be even worse, yet I wonder how many fans will stick by him, exonerating him in their minds immediately simply because they like his music and just dont want to believe that it could be true. For some, its easy to separate the art from the artist its not like bad people cant make good art. But when it involves something this horrific, I cant simply turn up the volume on my headphones. Im not sure if I can play those five albums as easily as DJs spin MJs singles, and I may just give those two t-shirts in my closet to the Goodwill. The whole thing just makes me uncomfortable, regardless of the music itself. Just days ago, I was nosedeep in a great music history book. I was reminded that rock stars, while larger than life, are human and make mistakes not everything they do is worthy of praise or adoration. Idol worship can be inspiring, though I dont recommend downright devotion, as youll uncover flaws you wish you had ignored. If theres one thing music should teach you, particularly rock music, its to be your own person, so either be your own guitar hero or prepare for disappointment. Or separate the artist from the art easier said than done in this very personal business.

Falling out of fandom

Its always disconcerting when you read about a celebrity you enjoy or look up to acting like a jerk or doing something stupid, but when theyre arrested and charged with serious crimes, that really forces you to question your loyalties, or at least it should. Ive been an avid listener of Welsh rockers Lostprophets since The Fake Sound of Progress was released in the states in 2001. The four subsequent albums were all solid, improving on their progressive metal/ punk/post-hardcore sound, and theyve sold over 3.5 million records worldwide, though theyre more well-known in the U.K. Rarely touring on our shores, my one and only chance to see them came at last years Vans Warped Tour in Scranton, where I had the pleasure of interviewing drummer Luke Johnson. Unfortunately, their set was cut short due to the stormy weather, but I figured that I would catch them again as they continued to promote their latest release, Weapons. On December 19, however, singer Ian Watkins was charged with 24 sex offenses, including the alleged rape of a child under 12 months old, aiding and abetting the sexual assault of another child who was only one year old, conspiracy to rape and sexually assault the same child, and possession of indecent photos of children and even an

90s nostalgia powers pop culture exhibit

By Bill Thomas
Nostalgia is a powerful thing. The sound of a few bars hummed from a fondly remembered tune or the sight of a beloved cartoon character from the sugar cereal-sweetened Saturday mornings of youth can time warp a person right back to childhood. It can unearth all kinds of halfforgotten memories and remind a person not only of who they are, but even why they are who they are. Thats the effect Christopher J. Hughes is going for with the pieces hes preparing for As Seen on T.V., a special art exhibit paying tribute to 90s television and pop culture, which will be on display at New Visions Studio & Gallery from June 7 through June 27. This Friday, the exhibit will kick off with an opening reception in which several of the participating artists will be present, as will be Scranton-based band Crock Pot Abduction, playing theme songs from iconic 90s shows such as The Fresh Prince of BelAir, Step by Step, and more. Its really fun to look back at the television that we grew up with and see it in a completely different way, Hughes said. For me, The Adventures of Pete & Pete has really stuck with me. There are going to be people who come to the show and have no idea the spoofs Im pulling with my Pete & Pete stuff. But for the people who remember all those oddball episodes, when those people come through the door, theyre going to smile. Hughes, whose pop culture-inspired art can also be found online at peterparkerpa.com, will be joined by 10 other area artists for the exhibit, which is expected to feature around 50 different pieces. I put a post on my Facebook wall and tagged a few friends who I thought would be interested, and then, just like that scene from Waynes World, they told two friends, and they told two friends, and they told two friends, and so on and so on, Hughes, former interim editor for The Weekender, said. This thing really took on a life of its own. Among the artists alongside Hughes is Gerry Stankiewicz, who Hughes said was instrumental in pushing his original idea a show dedicated solely to his beloved Pete & Pete to encompass the wider universe of 90s kid culture. Most of the stuff Ill be putting in the show will be video game stuff I grew up on, like Mario and Street Fighter, Stankiewicz said. I remember getting a Nintendo when I was younger and playing a Mario game for the first time. Its like a generational thing. I know a lot of people who share that experience and refer to it throughout their lives, Stankiewicz noted that the

exhibit promises to showcase as broad a range of artistic styles, as it will a variety of nostalgic tastes. For example, artist Robert Brennes pieces are functional amplifiers inspired by everything from Marvel superheroes to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, while Melanie Boisseau has been making three-dimensional heads of characters from such cartoons as Daria, The Powerpuff Girls and Doug. Boisseau, who is also one of the owners of New Visions, explained why the As Seen on T.V. exhibit was practically tailor-made for the gallery. Were all about nostalgia. We have a big gift shop here where we sell comic books and records. Its all the kind of stuff that makes you say, Oh, wow. I had that as a kid, she said. It takes you back to when you were young and carefree.

Happily Ruined
Beer: Ruination IPA Brewer: Stone Brewing Company Style: American Double/Imperial IPA ABV: 7.70% Description: Stones Ruination IPA pours a deep amber golden color with a thin white head that doesnt last too long, but does leave a nice lacing on the glass. The nose of this beer is a true display of elegant West Coast hops, displaying notes of grapefruit, orange, mango, tangerine, pineapple, lemon zest, pine, hints of pale malts, caramel, and toffee as well; simply said, its very complex and inviting. The taste certainly has a strong hop bite, but is surprisingly approachable and a wonderful bouquet of flavors. The hops flavors match the aroma perfectly in the citrus and tropical fruit arena, and are followed by the malt sweetness before one final bitter bite from the hops as you swallow. Ruination has a wonderful balance of mouth feel and mild carbonation. The beer finishes mildly dry, but leaves a long lasting hop flavor left on the palate. Ruination could certainly ruin anyones palate with its strong hop bite and lasting flavors, but I for one am happy to let this beer ruin my palate! Food pairing: This is not as easy to match up with a lot of food as the strong hop presence can easily subdue a lot of dishes. However, a truly wonderful pairing with Ruination is Indian food. The hop bite holds up against the spiciest of Indian dishes and the citrus characteristics from the hops meld with the spices to subdue them and add extra depth to the flavor profile. Feeling a little more in the mood for some Mexican food? A delicious dish of carne asada tacos is a pleasing union with Ruination. What you need to remember with this beer is to match the hop bite with spiciness in a way that achieves a nice balance on the palate without overwhelming or, pardon the pun, ruining it. Another wonderful dish to try with this beer is Stones personal recipe for Ruination garlic cheddar soup; the hop bite combined with smooth cheddar and
garlic is just amazing. You can find the recipe online and I HIGHLY recommend it!
Is it worth trying? Of course. After all, it is a beer from Stone so that should go without saying. Ruination was first introduced to the market in 2002 and is still one of the best double IPAs available, which is a testament to how great this beer is, as it seems that every brewery is making double or imperial IPAs these days. However, if you are new to the IPA, I would recommend starting off something with not as much of a hop bite. I do think newbies can appreciate this beer, but for some it just may be too much too fast. Be sure to grab a bottle or two and enjoy this wonderful beer and allow yourself to be ruined! Rating: W W W W W
Where can I get it? Currently available in bottles at: Backyard Ale House, Scranton; Arena Bar and Grill, Wilkes-Barre; Exit 190 Beer Deli, Dickson City; Krugels Georgetown Deli, Wilkes-Barre. Its also being poured at the Stone booth at the Steamtown Beer and Music Festival June 15. Remember, enjoy responsibly! Cheers! -Derek Warren is a beer expert, avid homebrewer, and beer historian.

Philadelphia Comic Con draws Walking Dead, Firey, and WWE fans
By Rich Howells
Weekender Editor
Fans of AMCs The Walking Dead, along with its long-running comic book counterpart, descended like the undead horde upon the Pennsylvania Convention Center in downtown Philadelphia from Thursday, May 30 through Sunday, June 2, and they didnt leave hungry. Attendees who paid full admission received a limited edition variant cover of The Walking Dead No. 1 by artist Julian Totino Tedesco, which many vendors immediately attempted to buy directly from fans for $5 or more each. Actors Norman Reedus and Michael Rooker, who play brothers Daryl and Merle Dixon, respectively, and Jon Bernthal, who was Shane Walsh on the popular show, signed autographs and packed photo-ops and Q&A sessions throughout the weekend. While their lines remained consistent, Marvel Comics creator Stan Lee, Star Trek star William Shatner, and Fireflys Summer Glau, Gina Torres, and Adam Baldwin also attracted sizable crowds, and WWE Superstars John Cena and Daniel Bryan were major draws as well. Pop culture icons like Dean Cain, Brandon Routh, Henry Winkler, Linda Blair, and Marky Ramone, among other guests, rounded out a solid lineup for this years convention. DC Comics had no real presence at the con, but Marvel returned after an absence with two small panels to gauge reaction for a possible larger reappearance next year (if they dont mind fielding more questions/complaints about the recent death of Peter Parker, that is, a subject that seemed to dominate discussion). They also conducted portfolio reviews. With the big two preoccupied with New York and San Diego, Philly Comic Con allowed independent comic writers and artists a chance to shine, promoting new books like Head Smash or offering advice about how to break into the industry, craft a good story, or publish independently. Movie screenings, art fights, and sci-fi speed dating were offered, though most fans spent their time shopping the floor or showing off their homemade costumes. After filling rooms to capacity for The Walking Dead and Firefly panels, fans ended Saturday with a costume contest in the terrace ballroom and an official after-party at the Field House on Filbert Street. Wizard Worlds next show is in New York City June 28-30, and the Wizard World Philadelphia Comic Con is scheduled to return June 19-22, 2014.

NEPA Crosst set for regionals

By Sara Pokorny
In a building tucked behind a complex on Wilkes-Barre Boulevard, everyday people come to lift, run, sweat, push themselves to the limit, and whip their bodies into the healthiest shape they possibly can be. Some call it crazy. Some dont get it. But step one foot inside the NEPA CrossFit gym and the reason people put themselves through it becomes a no-brainer. Its fun. CrossFit, a method of exercise that combines aerobic exercise, body weight exercise, gymnastics, and Olympic weight lifting, is also a lot of hard work. Just ask any of the team members who are going to find themselves at the CrossFit Mid Atlantic Regionals in Maryland this weekend. Those competing against teams from Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and North Carolina are: NEPA CrossFit Coaches Kyle Monaghan, Mike Hurley, and Kevin Evans and clients Kevin Eovitch, Sarah Plaviak, Jacki Lukas, Julie Grilz, and Catie Royko, as well as CrossFit coach and owner Brennan Morton. They will be assisted by their teammate Brent Homcha, who qualified during competition but is unable to compete. Its a really big accomplishment for our gym because we are one of the smaller gyms, said Lukas, who has been doing CrossFit for two and a half years. The local team competed in a Crossfit Open recently to see where they ranked among the CrossFits in the nation. They soon found themselves in 10th place, beating out the majority of the over 200 teams that are in the region. To qualify for regionals, the athletes had to do one workout per week over five weeks, never knowing what they would be doing until the last minute. It was a pretty high-pressure situation, Lukas said. We were ready for it to be over. This is the second go-round for Morton, who captured 28th place out of 6,000 men in his last regional run. Afterwards, he advanced on to finish 429th out of an incredible 73,000 men who competed worldwide. Among the group is also Kevin Prodigy Evans, a 16-year-old who is the youngest coach at NEPA CrossFit, currently ranked as the fittest teen in the world. If they are one of the top three out of the 30 teams theyll compete against at regionals, theyll move on to the final competition in California in July. No matter how far the NEPA CrossFit members, who have never sent a team until this year, go, theyre just happy for the opportunity. Its amazing to even be able to compete with the best of the best, Lukas said. Were going to be competing with teams that train solely for this purpose and here we are, just regular people with jobs who found a lifestyle they love and are really pushing ourselves. Its great to just be there and have everyone cheering each other on. And thats just one appeal of the exercise method: the support it brings. Thats the one thing with our gym we are seriously a family, Lukas said. I depend on these people for everything, for motivation during my workout, for life advice; theyre some of the greatest friends I ever met. There are plenty more perks to CrossFit, a program where workouts are explained every single day and athletes almost

The famed Bronx Bomber Mickey Mantle once walked through the doors, which have been open since 1911. The establishment is Italianrun, having made it through a time period when the area had 80-some bars, with all but three being run by Irishmen. And now, after all these years, Drifters Tavern in Hughestown is turning another leaf, reinventing itself to keep its presence in this day and age strong. Deno Chiavacci, whose last name is the moniker that has been attached to the eatery since 1911, is excited to get the place back on track. Though the lease has never switched hands out of the family, something the Chiavaccis pride themselves on, the image of the place isnt exactly where Chiavacci would like it. Everyone knows Drifters as a smoking bar; there was a pool table in the back, he said, so we want to get away from that name to show people how its different. Its no longer smoking, and there are tables in the back for dining. The establishment was previously called Chiavaccis and Denos Cafe. Chiavaccis father, who also went by Deno, ran the Hughestown Sports Club from the building from 1969 through 1995. The club ran bus trips to Philadelphia sports and Penn State games. Chiavaccis father also held banquets to honor local athletes, drawing hundreds of people. Chiavacci believes that at one time, the sports club had a membership with over 600
Chiavacci and his brother Tony bought the establishment from their father in 1995, the same year they added a kitchen to it. I ran the bar for a bit, then went to bigger restaurant companies, Chiavacci said. At the time, the bar scene just wasnt happening. But Im glad I did go. I learned a lot of the things Im applying to the business today. Chiavacci would like to do a rebranding of Drifters, the name of which will soon change to T and Ds, after the brothers. Ultimately, wed love to have a dinner crowd until about 9, 10 at night, then become a bar. There is already a menu of typical bar fare at the establishment, but Chiavacci is planning on adding steak and fish items to the menu to expand it, as well as holding barbecues. There is a clam night on Wednesdays, a $5 burger night on Thursdays, and wing nights on Sundays and Wednesdays. There were major renovations done in 2003, and there are still things being built within the bar, such as an outside bar that should be up and running this weekend. On June 22 at noon, there will be a summer kickoff party with a barbecue and music from both Nowhere Slow and DJ OhWee.
never do the same one twice. Its a time-effective, convenient workout program, Morton said. It seems that people who would normally never go to a gym love CrossFit. Were a community for healthy living and good fitness, and people really respond to that.
Common Crosst terms: Getting into Crosst can be a little overwhelming at rst, as the exercise has its own language, but dont get discourged. Here we explain some common terms youll hear in the box. WOD: Workout of the Day Box: Term used to describe the gym itself. Rack position: Bar resting on your collar bone and front shoulder, supported by your hands. Double unders: a jump roping skill where the rope makes two revolutions during one jump. Burpee: A move in which you drop to the ground, do a pushup, jump into a squat, and then jump up. Power clean: Barbell begins on the ground and ends in the rack position. Box jump: A vertical jump up onto a box. NEPA Crosst (125 N. Wilkes Barre Blvd.), 570.579.3544, nepacrosst.com.

Another invitation arrived today. That makes six this year. Everybody but you, it seems, is having a baby and, therefore, a baby shower. Consequently, youve bought enough receiving blankets to cover your city and wrapped enough tiny pieces of clothing to outfit an infantry of infants. Youre good with babies. Everybody says so but for whatever reason, youve decided youll never have one of your own. And in the new book No Kidding: Women Writers on Bypassing Parenthood, edited by Henriette Mantel, youll see why others are making the same choice. Its one of those private issues that many people including total strangers think its okay to ask: When are you going to start having kids? For the writers in this book, the answer is Never. It was an easy decision to make or not. It came after years of soul searching, or it seemed to be in their genes. Perhaps it dawned on them when they realized they have no desire to be anyones mom. Theyve heard all the arguments, theyve made their choices and no, theyre not going to change [their] minds. Many of these women have had good experiences with kids nieces, nephews, children of friends - but they never wanted to give birth. Theyre Honorary Aunties all over the place, but some were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Some of the writers were ambivalent (or downright against the idea) all along. They hated dolls, never felt particularly nurturing, were never mommy material. One came to realize that the only thing interesting about having a child is picking the name. Some thought pregnancy repellant, or parenthood as the end of a dream. One was relieved at a few close calls; another suddenly realized that if you have kids, you have to keep them. And then there were the writers for whom the decision was made, not chosen, and their

words are filled with regret. But however it happened, there are two things these women know: being able to procreate doesnt necessarily mean you should. And most of them are too busy living to dwell on the subject for long. Does it sometimes seem as though everybody around you is pregnant? Are you a wee bit tired of talk about wee ones? Then you absolutely need to read No Kidding. You will never feel alone in the Oh-Baby-NO-Baby department when youre reading this book because editor Henriette Mantel has gathered the thoughts of more than three dozen childfree (and childless) women writers who are more than happy to weigh in on the subject. Some of the stories are funny. Some fairly drip with droll. Others are militant or a little on the sad side. Together, these essays show readers that choices can be made and that its okay that not having kids is one of them. I really liked this book for its reflective nature and because it attempts to show all sides of the non-parenthood issue. If your minds made up, I think youll like it, too, because whats inside No Kidding is long overdue.

THE MITES ATE THE CHEESE
The Food and Drug Administration proposed recently to limit the quantity of tiny mites that could occupy imported cheese, even though living, crawling mites are a feature desired by aficionados. (Cheese is absolutely alive! proclaimed microbiologist Rachel Dutton, who runs the cheese laboratory at Harvard University.) In fact, cheese is home to various molds, bacteria and yeasts, which give it flavor, and sellers routinely use blowers to expel excessive critters, but the FDA now wants to limit them to 6 bugs per square inch. However, according to a May report on NPR, lovers of some cheeses, especially the French Mimolette, object, asserting both an indifference to the sight of mites creeping around and a fear of taste-loss (since the mites burrow into the hunk, aerating it and extending the flavor). Energy West, the natural gas supplier in Great Falls, Mont., had tried recently to raise awareness of leaks by distributing scratch-and-sniff cards to residents, demonstrating gass distinctive, rotten-egg smell. In May, workers cast aside several cartons of leftover cards, which were hauled off and disposed of by crushing which released the scent and produced a massive blanket of odor over downtown Great Falls, resulting in a flurry of panicked calls to firefighters about gas leaks. Well, Of Course! (1) The Ypsilanti, Mich., City Council voted in May on a resolution that would have required the members always to vote either yes or no (to thus reduce the recent, annoying number of abstain votes). The resolution to ban abstaining failed because three of the seven members abstained. (2) Doctors told a newspaper in Stockholm in April that at least one of Swedens premier modeling agencies, looking for recruits, had been caught passing out business cards adjacent to the countrys largest eatingdisorder clinic, forcing the clinic to change its rules on patients taking outside walks. [AssociApparently running out of space on his body (which is two-thirds tattooed), Brazilian Rodrigo Fernando dos Santos has moved on to his eyeballs. According to the body-modication website BME.com, eyeball-tattooing is safe if done correctly, which involves the artist injecting the ink precisely between the conjunctiva and the sclera layers with the main risk, of course, that the client can go blind. In April, Sao Paulo tattoo artist Rafael Leao Dias, who said he had studied eyeball work for two years, successfully turned dos Santoss eyes into pools of dark ink. I cried ink for two days, he told a local blogger. BME.com said eyeball tattoos have been reported for nearly 2,000 years.
Last week I was on the phone interviewing Jean-Luc Bilodeau, star of ABC Familys hit sitcom Baby Daddy, when I heard an abrupt pounding on my bedroom door. My stomach dropped. I was praying it was poltergeist. It was worse - my mother! She then opened the door and started screaming at me for stepping on her mulch! Mom! Im on the phone doing an interview with- I whispered, holding the phone away from my beet-red face. I dont care who youre talking to! she interrupted. I told you NEVER STEP ON MY MULCH!!!! Since moving back home, I patiently tolerated my mother going through menopause, and getting on my case for drinking out of the soda bottle in the refrigerator, but interrupting my interview was the straw that broke the camels back. It was clear to me that it was time to get out of the house. So, I did the only logical thing - I grabbed a few clean pairs of boxers, my Dancing with The NEPA Stars mirror ball trophy, and moved in to the The Hilton Hotel in Scranton! I realized if Zack and Cody could live the suite life, so could I. The Hilton Scranton has always been a home away from home for me, sort of how summer camp is for kids whose parents dont know how to handle them not being in school for eight hours a day. After last staying there to pamper myself in preparation for my annual on-air beer pong tournament with 98.5 KRZs Rocky, Im not surprised that out of 288 Hilton

PEOPLE DIFFERENT FROM US
Hotels in the U.S., the Scranton location is ranked No. 8 for guest services! In 2012, they were ranked No. 5! My stay kicked off to a great start, as I ate room service in bed and watched The Mighty Ducks on HBO Family. At home, my parents wont order HBO. The suite I stayed in had a jacuzzi bath tub that I took two bubble baths in a day. At home, I always get yelled at for taking too much time in the bathroom. My mom doesnt make me breakfast, even though every day I remind her that Vinny from Jersey Shore gets meals handed to him by his mother. At the Hilton, however, I got a breakfast buffet with fruit, omelettes to order, BACON, biscuits, and gravy, etc. Its better than the last buffet I had in Vegas! After a few days of room service, bubble baths, and buffets, the Hilton became my new home, and the staff became my new family. I even hung out in my room with the maintenance man, door man, and two housekeepers, and we danced The Wobble together. After realizing my underwear was on the bathroom floor for days, with nobody yelling at me for it, I started to realize I belonged home with my dysfunctional family. However, its always nice to have a home away from home
ated Press via WHTM-TV (Harrisburg, Pa.), 5-23-2013] The United Nations Conference on Disarmament, a multilateral forum on arms control agreements, was chaired beginning May 27th (until June 23rd) by Iran, which, for that time, at least, had the awkward job of overseeing resolutions on nuclear non-proliferation, which the country is widely thought to be ignoring.

Unclear on the Concept: (1.) Ruben Pavon was identified by surveillance video in Derry, N.H., in April snatching a grill from the front porch of a thrift store. Pavon explained to police that the stores name, Finders Keepers, indicated to him that the objects were free for the taking and admitted that he had previously taken items from the porch. (2.) In May, Los Angeles police bought back 1,200 guns in one of the periodic U.S. buy-back programs, but they declined to accept the pipe bomb a man said he wanted to sell. This is not a pipe-bomb buyback, said Chief Charlie Beck. Pipe bombs are illegal The man was promptly arrested. Too Much Information: John Casey, 51, was caught by security staff at an Asda supermarket in Washington, England last October after allegedly stealing a slab of beef. He was convicted in May even after offering the compelling explanation that he had concealed the beef underneath other purchases not to avoid paying for it, but only because the sight of the raw meat gave him flashbacks to his dead grandmother, who had passed away of a blood clot when Casey was a child.
COMPELLING EXPLANATIONS
Keith Judd filed a lawsuit in Iowa in May, in essence to invalidate the 2012 election by having President Obama officially declared a Kenyan and not an American. Judd filed the papers from a federal penitentiary in Texas, where he is serving 17 years for threatening a woman he believed to be a clone of the singer Stevie Nicks, because Nicks (or the clone) had tried to sabotage his home improvement company. (Bonus Fact: In the 2012 Democratic presidential primary in West Virginia, Judd, a write-in candidate, defeated President Obama in nine counties and lost the state by only 33,000 votes.) Edward Kramer, cofounder of the annual Atlanta fantasy-character convention Dragon*Con, was arrested in 2000 for allegedly having sex with underage boys, but has yet to stand trial in Georgia because he has engineered a never-ending set of legal delays if not because of his version of Orthodox Judaism that limits his diet and activities, then it his allegedly poor health. (As soon as he puts on an orange jumpsuit, said prosecutor Danny Porter, he becomes an invalid, requiring a wheelchair and oxygen tank.) In 2011, after managing to get house arrest, he violated it by being caught with an underage boy. Lately, according to a May Atlanta Journal-Constitution report, he files an average of three demands per day from his Gwinnett County, Ga., lockup, each requiring painstaking review before being rejected. Kramer still owns about one-third of Dragon*Con, whose current officials are mortified that they cannot expel a man they consider a child molester.

Calling Carly Rae

Friday night KRZ rocked the Kirby Center with their annual Summer Smash concert. This years lineup opened with the sexy man candy duet of 3oh!3, continued on with the charttopping Carly Rae Jepsen, had the girls hearts throbbing with X Factor winners Emblem3, and closed out with the amazingly talented Cher Lloyd. It was all about love when both 3Oh!3 and Carly Rae opened with songs about kissing. The catchy song My First Kiss had the fans dancing in the aisles and Carly Rae had her fans (me included!) singing along at the top of their lungs to her hit This Kiss. Emblem3 sang a heartfelt dedication to their musical muse Bob Marley and closed out their set with their current hit, Chloe. The show ended with the headliner Cher Lloyd. I have been to my fair share of concerts, but her level of energy and enthusiastic facial expressions throughout her set left me leaving the show singing Want You Back until I had no voice left. She also surprised the crowd by mixing it up and doing a cover of Robyn s Call Your Girlfriend and Ushers Oh My God. I was lucky enough to have had the opportunity to sit down and have some real girl talk with the remarkable Carly Rae Jepsen. We discussed everything from her music and fans to fashion and, of course, dating disasters. The Weekender: Last summer, Call Me Maybe was the song of the summer. It was played everywhere and everyone knew it. ryan Seacrest has unofficially dubbed Tonight Im Getting Over You as this years big song of the summer. how does it feel to be the voice of summer 2 years in a row? CArLY rAe JePSen: Its always exciting to see people connecting to the songs. I was recently in Jakarta, which is the furthest Ive travelled from home so far, and I got to experience a room full of Indonesian fans singing every word to every song of KISS. I wrote that album hoping maybe it would crack the Top 10 in Canada, so I am a pretty happy camper right now. I love getting to see the world through music, and I especially love seeing people dance. W: One of Girl Talks favorite topics is shoes. As the new spokesperson for Candies, what is your favorite type of footwear? Are you a heel, wedge, sandal, or sneaker girl? CrJ: Right now I love retro, platform sandals and colorful flats. W: In your career, you have performed for many large and eclectic crowds, from being a contestant on Canadian Idol to new Years rockin eve, you have experienced every type of music listener. even for this festival, you are not only playing for your fans, but also fans of Cher Lloyd, emblem3 and 3Oh!3. do you have any cover songs or remixes that you like to perform live to mix up the show? CrJ: My favorite thing is performing for new audiences. Theres always that old fashioned excitement of trying to win em over. I have a couple tricks up my sleeve. Youll just have to wait and see. W: every artist has one ideal award show or career milestone that they have designated as their I have made it moment. You have just been nominated for nine Billboard Music Awards, had Cookie Monster sing one of your songs on Sesame Street, and collaborated with some of the hottest music stars of today such as nicki Manaj, LMFAOs redfoo, and Owl City. What has been or will be your moment when you realized your dreams have come true? CrJ: I think that moment never comes for the hungry types. Ahem..I am a hungry type. The highest high for me is writing music and I have a lot to say. There is nothing that excites me more than this next record. W: In my column, we always girl talk about bad dates and relationship disasters. Since many of your songs are based on love, found and lost, have you ever had a date that was so bad you had to tell all of your girlfriends about it? CrJ: I once tripped in the movie line with a date. I was wearing high heels that were much too high for me. Somehow my ankle buckled and I went from a standing position to flat on my bum in a puddle. All I could think about was telling my girlfriend Jillian about it later and how much wed laugh. This thought of course got me giggling right then and there, and I couldnt stop. I think he thought I was crazy. W: Our final question comes from one of your young fans. kate, 9, adores you and holds you as her musical idol. She aspires to someday be a performer just like you but gets terrible stage fright. kate would like to know how you mentally prepare for a show and overcome anxiety of performing in front of an audience. CrJ: If you get nervous sweet Kate, lock eyes with just one kind face in the audience. Forget everyone else and just sing directly to them until youre ready to take in the rest of the audience. I used to start every song by singing to my sister. That friendly face helps. I cant wait to hear you perform someday soon!
Fake your way to a healthy glow this summer by staying out of the tanning beds and replacing all that beautiful, yet harmful, sun with self tanning products. The future of self tanners has arrived: no more bright orange skin, sticky messes, stained hands, and nasty odor. Get that sunkissed look and keep it all summer with these easy steps and amazing products from Fake Bake. Step one is to exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate. The use of a loofah makes things much quicker and efficient, but the products you use in the shower really do play an important role in prepping and maintaining that tan. Make sure your body wash is in the oil-free family and has exfoliating beads in it; the oils in the body wash will affect the spray tan in a negative way. Oils will create a barrier on the skin, preventing the tanner to penetrate. Also, once the tan is on, any oil based products will draw the pigment of the tanner out of the skin, making it not last as long. (Just like if you put a lip gloss over a lip stain, its not going to last). Fake Bake brand has a passion fruit body polish ($14) that is designed to go handin-hand with the self tanner, and smells amazing. Next, dry off really well and make sure you do not put any other products on the skin, especially any type of fragrance, deodorant or body lotion. The Fake Bake products are organic and have a

ning product.
color guard (tinted base) in them that works with the self-adjusting formula and will react with any synthetic products on the skin, creating an unwanted green cast. Now its time to apply the self tanner. I suggest using Flawless self tanning liquid from Fake Bake; it comes with a velvet mitt that you can use to apply the product directly to your body without making a mess on your hands. The total application will only take five minutes and because of the tinted base you can see where the product is applying. I suggest small circular motions, like youre buffing that tanner right onto yourself. Fake Bake flawless ($26) dries quickly, so you can get dressed just minutes after. I suggest keeping the Flawless on for six to eight hours before washing off, or do it at night and sleep in it! The next morning wash it off, allowing the color guard to rinse off and reveal the natural customized tan that works with your own natural melanin so that you have a rich brown tan, and guarantees youre not orange! Finally, reapply after four to six days to keep that tan going strong, and just make sure to keep that skin hydrated and protected with at least SPF 30. Also, ensure all of your maintenance products are oil free! Tip: Fake Bake also makes a new 60 min tanning liquid that only takes one hour to process for a light tan, two hours for a medium tan, and a maximum of three hours for a dark tan! Trick: Take the remainder self tanner that is on your mitt and gently rub your face to give you a subtle glow without packTheres no mess or fuss (and especially no ing on the Oompa Loompa orange) to this new self-tanface tanner!

Old Republic is new again

Released in 2003, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was one of the best games to come out on the original Xbox, and still stands as one of the best Star Wars games that has ever been released. This week, KOTOR was released as a downloadable game for the iPad ($9.99). Normally, I would say there arent too many games that would benefit from touch controls, but this game really does hold up with the Xbox classic. Before Mass Effect and Dragon Age, KOTOR was one of the first games to put Bioware on the map and was one of the first games I played that had moral choices and different dialogue to choose from. It was also the first game to pull off a good Star Wars RPG. Set 4,000 years before Star Wars: Episode I took place, there were many events that occurred in the Star Wars universe. The Jedi have been pretty much wiped out by the Sith, and it is up to you and your band of friends to bring balance to the Force and save the galaxy. One of the most noticeable innovations is the morality meter; all of your conversation choices and actions will contribute to your Light or Dark Side meter. If the meter swings far in one way or the other, you will be come a good Jedi knight or an evil Sith overlord. Now you get to determine the fate of the entire galaxy and the Old Republic. Bioware hasnt changed all that much about KOTOR, but it surprisingly holds up pretty well from what I remember playing years ago. The gameplay isnt quite as polished as the newer Bioware games like Mass Effect, but it is pretty competent. I think, for the most part, the iPad version is an improvement in many ways. The first improvement is in the graphics; it has been 10 years, and with the high-quality screen on the iPad, they are able to make this game look gorgeous. And even though the voice acting is the same, it is still better than most present-day games. After a decade, the graphics are a bit dated and chunky, but they are still

RIDE OF THE WEEK
Michael Golubiewski | Special to the Weekender
cleaned up and look sharp. Playing this game on a mobile device is actually quite functional because it retains the pause and play gameplay of the original; you simply tap on the character you want to fight and the screen pauses, letting you decide what you want to do. Selecting things with the touchpad works great, and it makes navigating your inventory and backend menus quite easy. In some places, the text can be hard to read on the smaller screen, but this is only is an issue when you are talking to someone because you have to read each selection and tap the number of the one you
want to say. It works well for the most part, but acts screwy from time to time. Overall, the only thing I had a problem with is the movement controls. When you want to run around, you have to drag your finger on the screen, and then the character moves there. It usually works, but its clunky because sometimes its hard to see what is going on with your hand on the screen. The story is exactly the same along with all the great twists and turns, and the touch screen and updated graphics are a vast improvement. If you missed this game on the Xbox, then you have to play this gaming masterpiece. I dont want to spoil anything, but the plot twists are epic and some of the most shocking moments of the Star Wars story. Even if you did play it before, it is actually worth downloading to experience it again; it still holds up after all these years. If you are a Star Wars fan, you are going to love this game because it fleshes out a ton of backstory in the universe and tells a really memorable tale. If you have no interest in Star Wars and are just looking for a good game to play on your iPad, then this is definitely worth a download. This game is truly a worthy addition to the Star Wars universe. -Robbie Vanderveken is the digital operations specialist at The Times Leader. E-mail him at rvanderveken@timesleader.com.

FORD RANCHERO
Brian Alivar East Stroudsburg
I love owning a rare car, Alivar said. I hadnt even heard of a Ford Ranchero when I saw this for sale; I thought it was a Chevrolet El Camino that someone had worked on. The only things I did to it, really, were to paint it red and to remove the Ford logo from the tailgate. I wanted it plain; it looks a little better that way. W

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) For a sign thats often noted for your mind, you Gems are hardly divorced from your bodies. It seems that every Gemini I know has at least one astonishing physical feat at their disposal; Janice can fit her whole hand in her mouth, Lee does stunts with ping pong balls and orifices that would make porn stars blush, and Alister can squeeze his whole body through an unstrung tennis racket. Still, theres been a recent rift between your brain and bod. To heal that, practice just being in your skin. The traditional ways (going to the gym or taking up jogging) are fine, but I can tell your spirit (and your avid fans) are hoping youll adopt an astonishing new trick. Do it! CANCER (June 21-July 22) Tides, basically, are caused by the massive weight of the ocean trying to fall towards the Moon. If lunar gravity can cause impressive movement in immense bodies of water, why shouldnt it affect squishy, watery humans? Youve got a plethora of interesting entities orbiting you these days, despite your inattention. Dont underestimate them. No matter how ineffectual they may seem, reflecting only the wan light of a distant sun, they may have more effect on you than you think. This week, consider which ones are pulling you in the right direction, and which ones you ought to send winging into the asteroid belt. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Youre poised on the dewy, verdant lip of lush opulence. Whole fields of wildflowers are inhaling collectively, their moist buds aching to burst into riotous bloom. Vulvae are dripping with summer juices; penises are aching with swollen virility; entire flocks of lovesick avians are nearly plummeting to their deaths while trying to reinvent the quickie, out of necessity; cats are caterwauling violent operas in the alleyways; and its all for you, Leo. Even if its not expressly in your honor, it might as well be, for no one is as primed as you are to reap and appreciate all this ripe summer lust and romance and passion, to milk every nectar-laden drop. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Its not that Virgos are unloving; au contraire, youre usually the sweetest, most wonderfully adoring people to have around. Its that often your love takes the form of doing millions of nice things for your loved ones, simplifying their lives in every way you can think of. And those who cherish you do notice that. But some of the people you adore (especially those Leos and Pisces, this week) are craving something a little more impractical, even romantic. When all it takes is a little sweetness that has nothing to do with schedules or To-Do lists, pleasing them is worth the effort. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Lately, Ive viewed you as a gifted young director, producing award-worthy movies every dayif only they were actually caught on film. Since your recent artistry has been all about gifted social interaction, Im going to share the wisdom every successful artist wields: Know when to stop. Becoming obsessed with perfection can only end badly; usually, by you screwing up the piece for good by adding too much to it. Your genius at evoking brilliant performances from all the players in any given situation is at its peak. Dont ruin it by overdoing it. Trust your gut and know when to say, Andscene. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) There are no new stories, just a handful of ancient tales cut apart and pasted together into new forms, told in new ways. But things are changing. Science is learning to break down matter and energy into smaller and smaller units; in similar fashion, we approach the Plancks Constant of stories, and use these tiny pieces in radioactive new ways. Dont bitterly believe that you know the ending to the yarn youre spinning now. You have the skill to divide whats left into miniscule pieces and reweave them into a pattern so intricate, beautiful, and unpredictable that it might as well be something totally new.

challenges now. Going totally solo isnt your style anymore, remember? Youve got to figure out a way to carry along all the people who mutually love and adore you. So, when executing an overhaul and revamping your life, dont think two-seater sports car; think super-light monorail. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Youve been blindfolded and marched who knows where. You could be standing on a gangplank above chum-crazy-sharkinfested waters, or lingering by the altar under the cyclopean eyes of cameras with marriage-vow teleprompters, a white gold ring, and an overeager fianc. You have every right to flip your st, but I hope you wont. Wherever you end up, you had a hand in getting there, either through passive inaction or unreasonable, stubborn immovability. Now that youre on the spot, before you reject it out of hand, at least consider the possibility that this is where you secretly wanted to be all along. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Its time for a long-overdue reminder about the nature of crises. Yes, theyre just one more oppressive burden of st added to your already overloaded emotional cargo hold. They threaten to sink the entire ship of your life. But for someone as resourceful and determined as you are, a lightning strike need not be pure disaster. Any challenge is an occasion to shine. The next bolt that dares to pin you between the waves should be seized. Put on your asbestos gloves and climb it (this is a metaphor, you can do that here). Ride the chaos of the thunderhead for a while. It might be scary, but itll also carry you further faster than youve gone in months. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) This week, youll enjoy an unusual amount of perspective and clarity. Maybe you can finally see how a tiny shift can make something supporting, loving, and nurturing seem oppressive, smothering, and restrictive, or vice versa. Being given space can feel like being abandoned, or being romantically pursued can suddenly resemble sinister stalking. The majority of your circumstances could truly go either way, depending on how you want or believe they should. Now that you know that reality is what you decide it is, youre free to opt for the version that makes you happier. Why youd choose otherwise is beyond me. - To contact Caeriel, send mail to sign. language.astrology@gmail.com.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Like every Sag, at some point in your life youve had (or will have) a moment when most of your old girlfriends and/ or boyfriends find themselves in the same room, and bond based on their experiences with you. Smart Sagittarians know how to breathe through this kind of thing, how to bear the harrowing and humbling weight of all that shared gossip and judgment. Since multiple chapters of your past may be convening soon to compare notes, stay cool. The worst that may happen is theyll have a good laugh at your expense. At best, an old flame could be rekindled, or at least sparked up enough to get you a forold-times-sake fling. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Sometimes you stumble into weird, unexpected realities. For instance, you might find yourself soaking in a tub shaped like a champagne glass, or napping on a heart-shaped bed. In the mirrored ceiling, you watch your reflected surprise as you suddenly snap awake and wonder: How in the hell did I get here? Is this what I thought I was getting into? Im probably wrong about the specifics, but I wouldnt be surprised if this weeks slightly bizarre twists arent exactly what you had in mind when you set out on this path. All is not lost, though; now that youve figured it out, you can start looking for shortcuts back to where you really need to be. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Its time for some cutbacks, a little pruning, and Im not talking about just trimming the pubic bush. Some parts of your life are streamlined and organized, while others are about as aerodynamic as a garbage truck, and just as full of crap. But redesigning your M.O. holds new
