Letter from the editor
I
t seems every time you
turn around, theres a new
social-networking website
waiting to entice us. Truth be
told, Id never been on any of
those sites until I started
working here at the Week-
ender. And that first site was
MySpace. I know, Id scoff,
too.
I never wanted to be on
Facebook, so I skipped right
over it and graduated to Twit-
ter when MySpace grew tire-
some. When I did eventually
get Facebook, much to my
chagrin, like many, I became
obsessed with it for awhile,
but I still love Twitter the
most. Tweets are so much
more condensed, and you
dont have to sift through
peoples lengthy diatribes
about everything and any-
thing. Yes, there are still the
opinionated rants on Twitter,
but at least theyre only 140
characters!
So when Pinterest recently
began gaining momentum
among staffers and our
friends, we asked, WTF is
Pinterest? Should we be on
it? Staff Writer-turned-
correspondent Stephanie
DeBalko took to the site to
investigate and never
returned. Shes a full-fledged
pinning fiend now, so Ill let
her tell you all about the
wonders of Pinterest (p. 14-
15).
Also in this weeks issue,
you can read about Empire of
the Sea, a Wilkes-Barre-based
band that will celebrate the
release of its new album at its
performance as part of the 7th
Annual Steamtown Original
Music Showcase (p. 16). Plus,
Estella Sweet is back with
Life is a Drag to answer
some more reader questions
(p. 41), and Tim Hlivia touts
the multiple benefits of
strength training in Just For
the Health of It (p. 44).
As for me, this will be my
final Letter from the Edi-
tor here at the Weekender,
but you can find out a little
more about that by turning to
page p. 8.
As always, thanks for read-
ing!

By Nikki M. Mascali
Weekender Editor
I
was a junior in high school
when the Weekender launched
in1993. I remember being
enthralled fromthe get-go at this
paper that was completely differ-
ent fromany other newspaper Id
seen up until that point. And these
were the days before Model of the
Week.
Yes, we didnt always have that
oh-so-popular feature, if you can
believe that. It was something
called Parting Shot, and I re-
member loving whatever random
picture it might have been. I even
cut out the logo and put it above
the last photo in an albumof my
best friend and I froma class trip
junior year.
If I could have told myself,
smiling so widely in my bus seat,
that I would some day intern at
this very paper some 10-plus
years later, I would have rolled my
eyes. And to tell her thatd Id
eventually be its editor? Shut the
front door!
So it goes without saying that
my history with the Weekender
goes far beyond my six and a half
years on its staff. And thats what
makes this column all the more
difficult to write, this column that
says goodbye.
I amleaving my editor post
here this week, and the feelings
have been a combination of ex-
citement for what my future in
NewYork City holds and sadness
at leaving the Weekender, which
has been my home since January
2006. Within these pages, Ive
been able to do things beyond my
wildest imagination, like talk to
musicians whose pictures
adorned my walls as a hair metal-
loving teen, meet and tell the
stories of some very interesting
interviewees and, which was
always the very best part to me,
write for a living. Especially when
I got to write about my two loves:
Music and food, via my weekly
Dish column and a very long,
delicious run as Mystery Mouth.
In addition to honing my skills
as a writer and editor, Ive made
friends with staffers past and
present (and their friends) who
are nowamong my closest co-
horts. There are so many tales to
tell or not, nowthat I think
about it of some of the wild
and crazy times weve had as a
teamat events like Scranton Pa-
rade Days, Readers Choice and
the Model of the Year parties over
the years. Hell, even most of our
staff meetings are pretty enter-
taining.
As I think about some of those
moments, images flash in my
mind like a slideshow, but its
hard to pick ones that stick out as
the best, or the most While
things werent always sunshine
and puppies, I can say this: Its
been one hell of a ride, one that I
will always hold fondly in my
heart and my portfolio be-
cause, lets admit it, Ive been able
to do some damn cool things here.
Its a big step leaving NEPA,
my home for my whole life, for
the city, a place Ive been en-
thralled with since my parents
took me to my first Broadway
showwhen I was 10. Its scary and
sad to leave my friends and most
of all my parents, who have been
such a support system; not having
thema mere 10 minutes away is
going to take some getting used
to.
And as bittersweet as it is to
leave this paper, its heartbreaking
to leave them. While Ill always
treasure the education I got at
Luzerne County Community
College, everything I amI learned
fromyou, Momand Denny.
You will be missed every single
day but at least this is what it
took for you two to finally get cell
phones! (I promise, youll thank
me.)
And finally, thank you, NEPA,
for reading the Weekender, and in
turn, my writing, for the past six
and a half years. W
An ending,
a beginning
John Popko & I at a Weekender Halloween party many
moons ago.

Account Executive Shelby Kremski at this years

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
THE LITIGIOUS SOCIETY
If Megan Duskeys parents
had been with her that night in
2010, they perhaps would have
insisted she (dressed as the comic
book hero Silver Spectre) not try
to slide down the railing during
the Halloween-themed ball at
Chicagos Palmer House Hilton
hotel, but she did slide down, and
she fell four floors to her death.
Nonetheless, in July 2012, the
parents filed a $500,000 lawsuit
against Hilton and other entities,
claiming that the death of Ms.
Duskey at age 23 was the hotels
and the sponsors fault.
IRONIES
Karma: (1) In July a 30-year-
old man suspected of skipping
out on a bar bill at the Hilton
Garden Inn in Manchester, N.H.,
did not make it far. As he tried to
hop an iron fence, he impaled his
leg and eventually required eight
firefighters to rescue him using
hydraulic cutting tools. (2) Greys-
ton Garcia, 26, who was cleared
of murder charges in January
under Floridas stand your
ground defense (even though he
had chased the victim more than a
block to stab him to death after
the man took his radio), was
inadvertently killed in June by
random gang gunfire in Miami.
Csanad Szegedi, a member of
the European Parliament repre-
senting the anti-Semitic Jobbik
Party of Hungary (a party whose
presidential candidate described
Jews as lice-infested), resigned
in August after admitting that he
had learned two years earlier that
his own mother was (and there-
fore he is) a Jew. Initially, Szegedi
tried to quash the revelation via
bribery but eventually resigned,
apologized and vowed to pay
respects at Auschwitz.
ALL INTHE MIND
Mark Worsfold, 54, a former
British soldier and martial arts
instructor, was sitting along a
road on July 28 watching the
Olympic mens cycling race when
he was detained because police
on security alert said his behav-
ior had caused concern. Ac-
cording to a report in The Guardi-
an, Worsfold, after being hand-
cuffed and taken to a police sta-
tion, was told he was arousing
suspicion because he had not
been seen to be visibly enjoying
the event, to which he replied,
truthfully, that he has Parkinsons
disease, which causes facial rigid-
ity. (After two hours of detention,
he was released without charges.)
Dennis Brown, 55, was ar-
rested in August in Tyler, Texas,
after police saw him taking pic-
tures, surreptitiously, of women
and high school girls near Robert
E. Lee High School. Since people
in public spaces generally have no
legal expectation of privacy,
Brown could not normally be
charged with a crime. However,
Brown admitted to police that the
mundane photos of the clothed
women were for his sexual enjoy-
ment. He was perhaps unaware of
a Texas Penal Code provision that
requires consent for any type of
photo of another person if it is for
sexual gratification (a motive
that, regarding ordinary pho-
tographs, is nearly impossible to
prove unless the accused vol-
unteers it).
PERSPECTIVE
Problems of the First World:
Third World teenagers often must
deal with conscription, sweatshop
labor and life as street beggars,
but in affluent New York City
(according to a June report in The
New York Times), a major anx-
iety of teen and almost-teen girls
is having to endure sleepaway
summer camp with hairy legs.
Said celebrity makeup designer
Bobbi Brown, If shes going to
be in a bunk with all these girls,
and insecure about lip or leg
hair, You do whatever you can
do to make her feel good.
(Seemingly drawing on the Times
story, Uni K Waxing of New York
City announced a July-only spe-
cial with girls 15 and under
receiving a 50 percent discount
on bikini-waxing.)
RECURRINGTHEMES
As the frenzied pace of con-
temporary life becomes less
appealing, Dull Mens Clubs have
grown since their News of the
Weird mention in 2007. A July
Wall Street Journal dispatch from
Pembroke, Mass., revealed recent
themes for that clubs excitement-
challenged members, including
why one of them carries a spoon
everywhere and the old standbys
of which way toilet paper should
hang and the wisdom of a citys
street grid system. DullMen-
sClub.com has about 5,000 mem-
bers who always, according to
legend, think inside the box
about such topics as remembering
to keep their staplers filled and
which way, in airports around the
world, luggage carousels turn
(clockwise or counter- clock-
wise).
THE PERVO-AMERICAN
COMMUNITY
Christian Hobbs, 44, was ar-
rested in Salem, N.H., in August
after a woman discovered him
underneath her mobile home,
looking up at her through a hole
in the floor of her bathroom. The
woman said Hobbs had sold her
the home two years ago and re-
cently done some handyman
work for her, leading to this unau-
thorized modification. Police said
Hobbs had taken cellphone video
of the woman and her toddler in
the bathroom and that the food,
beverages and tissues found un-
derneath the home suggested that
Hobbs had been there for as long
as two days. W
From a July report on NewZimbabwe.com (motto: The Zimbabwe News You
Trust): On July 11, as many as 26 women in two villages presided over by
Chief Njelele of Gokwe awoke missing their panties, which were later found in
a heap down the road, with 17 pairs positively identified by the victims. Just
as the chief was making arrangements to bring in a prophet to find the evil
local wizard, a huge owl swooped down a few feet away and carried off a
dog. Its mind-boggling whats going on in the area, the chief said.

By Stephanie DeBalko
Weekender Staff Writer
N
ext week, Im
going to start a
ve-day vegan
cleanse, and
while Im doing that, Im
planning my fall wardrobe,
full of scarves, lace and
riding boots. When Im done
with the cleanse, Im making
brownie batter dip, cake batter
cheesecake bars and skinny
baked potato soup, either to
take to a party or to binge on
by myself.
And I got every single part
of that plan from one place:
Pinterest.
What the heck is
Pinterest? is a question you
may have been asking yourself
since the social networking
website gained popularity over
the past few months, and a
couple of weeks ago I might
have been right there with you.
But when I started actively
pinning things as part of
my research for this story, I
found that the virtual pinboard
revolutionized the way I think
about baking, decorating and
even the way I do my hair. Not
only can I bookmark things
I see on the web, I can also
nd ideas I never would have
thought of on my own.
Once you join Pinterest
which once required an
invitation but no longer
does youre free to start
browsing the pins either by
how recently theyve been
posted or by category, like
womens fashion, tattoos and
weddings. Each pin is a photo
that links back to wherever
it came from: Ablog, retail
website, etc. You can repin
other peoples pins, and the
photo will still link back to the
original content.
And as you start pinning,
you build boards. For
example, I have a recipe board
called Get In My Belly and
a fashion inspiration board
called Blue Sunday.
It is different from
bookmarking because its
organized into categories,
and it is visual, said Mariel
Yuhas, a NEPAnative
currently living in Oregon,
who is a regular pinner.
Maybe I have three sweet
potato recipes, and as a
bookmark, they might say
Stephanies sweet potatoes,
best sweet potatoes or my
moms sweet potatoes. If they
were bookmarked, I would
have to call up a webpage to
see which was which, but with
Pinterest, I have a snapshot
that makes the recipe I want
recognizable.
Collection
conception
T
he accessibility and
visual component
is what makes
Pinterest so addicting
and make no mistake, it
is addicting. I nd myself
checking it when I wake up
in the morning and when
Im going to bed. So does
Amanda Greene of 98.5 KRZ,
who declared Pinterest an
obsession.
I resisted in the beginning,
too, she said. I was like,
Oh, that seems too time
consuming, I dont want to
have anything to do with it.
And then once I started, I was
sucked in.
But at least its a useful
addiction.
It raises the bar Im
a crafty person, so I take a
lot of these ideas, and I use
them, Green said, referring
to the innite amount of pins
relating to do-it-yourself
projects, crafts and fashionable
ensembles. So if youre
someone who likes to cook or
likes crafts or is into projects,
its your paradise, because
there are endless ideas on
here.
And part of its appeal is the
fact that its got everything
its not just a baking blog
or a retail outlet. You can just
as easily have a board about
leather booties as you can
about books and movies you
want to read and see.
Curating those varied
interests is part of what the
founders had in mind when
they established the site.
We tried to set up an
interview with someone from
the company, but they couldnt
accommodate because,
according to a representative,
theyre very product-focused
A lush landscape like this is achievable with the help of tips and
tricks found on Pinterest.

at the moment, which points
to the growth theyre trying
to build. But in a private
YouTube video they provided
us, co-founder Evan Sharp
made the following statement:
I think that was our big,
big revelation, the idea that
curating is actually a form of
creation; that choosing what
to include in a collection or
what not to include is actually
choosing a point of view.
And that collecting is not just
personal, but its actually a
way of expressing how you
see the world, and that that, in
turn, that expression of how
you see the world, compels
other people to curate their
point of view.
This was something Yuhas
noticed after using the
platform for a short time.
I feel like as I develop
my boards Im curating an
image of myself based on my
interests around the web, she
shared.
In fact, curate is a buzz
word that seems to be thrown
around quite a bit when
referring to Pinterest.
Not-
so-risky
business
T
he same curated
collections that
can tell a lot
about a person can also work
wonders for a business.
Alot of the social media
outlets out there Twitter,
Facebook, LinkedIn theres
a lot of text going on, said
Mike McGinley, search
engine marketing manager at
local eCommerce solutions
provider Solid Cactus and an
avid pinner. When youre on
Pinterest, youre constantly
looking at all these different
photos, and thats what people
love people love images
of people and things and
products; they dont just want
to read text. So its a great
way for potential and existing
customers to be linked back to
your website via Pinterest.
McGinley did note that
he hopes the largely female-
driven content will soon
expand to appeal to both
genders more consistently, but
in the meantime, he thinks the
site has potential.
Pinterest very much
complements both Facebook
and Twitter, but I dont see it,
even over the next six months
or the next year, as being
just a top dog in the world of
social media, he said. I think
theres still a lot of work to be
done, and I think theres still
a lot of awareness to be raised
about Pinterest, really. Its a
funky kind of platform, but I
think it will be useful down
the road.
Sara Tompkins, search
engine optimization specialist
at Solid Cactus, agreed, and
she also seemed to have a
lot of faith in the platform
in both the individual and
business senses.
Alot of people have mixed
views on Pinterest, she
said. I, for one, love it, and
I think its great, and I really
hope that it does pull
through
as far as social media goes.
Because I dont know if you
remember Google Plus, that
was something everybody was
so excited about When they
nally realized what it was
and got on it, they were kind
of bored.
And a lot of people say that
Pinterest is along the same
lines, where its a fad, but I
dont think that at all because
people are always going to be
visual and people are always
going to want to engage,
especially with their brand
and the brands that theyre
loyal to. W

I
t starts small, just a ripple
in the water. Then, ripples
become waves.
Thats how it was for
Wilkes-Barre post-rock four-
some Empire of the Sea. Be-
fore there was a band, there
were just two friends, guita-
rists Bill Check and Mike
Flaherty, jamming out togeth-
er in their spare time. Soon
enough, the noise they made
attracted others, namely drum-
mer Michael Tyahur and Fla-
hertys bassist brother Patrick.
Soon, EOTS was formed and
the full-length album Fath-
oms was released.
That was back in 2010.
Since then, EOTS has been on
hiatus, its members attentions
divided among various other
music projects. Anyone whos
ever dropped a pebble into a
pond knows, though, that one
ripple follows another. Now,
EOTS is back and, this time,
its members say its here to
stay.
When we first started, it
was basically just a studio
project, Mike Flaherty said.
It was my brother Patrick
who motivated us to bring it
back. He really brought it to
life as an actual live band,
and we have a serious routine
now, practicing and whatnot.
This band is the main focus
for all of us now.
On Sunday, Sept. 2, EOTS
will play the 11:15 p.m. slot at
The Keys in Scranton as part
of the 7th Annual Steamtown
Original Music Showcase.
Whats more, the performance
will double as a kick-off for
the release of the bands latest
album, Skywatchers.
Out of the water and into
the air, the new EP sees
EOTS leaving behind the
nautical themes of its prede-
cessor in favor of an invented
mythology featuring a family
of four birds Mother
Hawk, Father Owl, Sister
Sparrow and Brother Crow
for whom each of the albums
four tracks are named.
The whole concept of the
band originally came out of
the fact that Im a big fan of
naval history and literature.
The music on Fathoms re-
flected that, Flaherty ex-
plained. For Skywatchers,
we wanted a more upbeat
approach, something that
sounded lighter, airier. Thats
really where the new theme
came from.
An even more striking de-
parture from the status quo
established on Fathoms is
the bands new approach to
vocals. That is to say, there
arent any. While Fathoms
featured Flaherty singing on
almost all of its eight tracks,
the emphasis of Skywatch-
ers is squarely on the music
itself.
Describing the bands
sound, Flaherty cites instru-
mental rock groups like Rus-
sian Circles, Pelican and Ex-
plosions in the Sky as influ-
ences. At the same time, he
feels EOTS has an advantage
over many ambient music
artists, in that the band stress-
es the importance of structure
in its songwriting, rather than
relying solely on atmospher-
ics.
Still, Flaherty acknowledges
that EOTS decision to per-
form as an instrumental group
may be a barrier for some
audience members.
It puts us at arms length,
he said. We cant get into
certain places or play certain
venues because our music
doesnt fit a type. I feel like
if people just tried to be a
little more open-minded, it
would give musicians like us
a chance.
Hoping to win over local
audiences regardless, EOTS is
offering the EP as a free
download through the groups
Bandcamp.com page, in addi-
tion to selling Skywatchers
in CD form.
We just want to get the
music out there so people can
enjoy it, Flaherty said. We
write it ourselves, we record
it ourselves. We put every-
thing into these songs. We
just want people to hear
them. W

English glam-rock band The
Darkness is back following a
long hiatus and a fall that was
nearly as spectacular as its initial
rise to fame.
After inimitable lead singer
Justin Hawkins left the band in
2006 due to personal issues, the
remaining members soldiered on
as The Stone Gods, but never
achieved much success or gar-
nered much attention. However,
as has been the case with so
many other bands, fans had rea-
son to rejoice last year as it was
announced that the bands origi-
nal lineup was reuniting and a
new album would be forthcom-
ing.
The Darkness music has al-
ways walked a line between
tribute and parody, and Hot
Cakes is no different, blending a
healthy dose of AC/DC with
Queen, tied together with a devil-
may-care attitude and a complete
lack of concern for doing any-
thing other than having a good
time. Anyone questioning wheth-
er The Darkness would stick to
that chosen formula would need
look no further than the raunchy,
raucous opening track Every
Inch Of You, whose thinly
veiled themes are enough to
make just about anyone roll their
eyes.
As the album progresses, that
theme follows for many of the
other songs, such as With A
Woman or Concrete. Howev-
er, the band does expand its
horizons just a bit, with tracks
such as the Dokken-esque Street
Spirit (Fade Out), poppy hooks
on Forbidden Love and epic
album closer, Love Is Not The
Answer showing some real
growth and progression beyond
the bands core sound.
Hot Cakes is a wonderfully
non-serious album in a world
where fans and critics take al-
bums much too seriously. While
it may not win an award for in-
novation, Hot Cakes is full of
catchy rhythms that listeners
easily will find themselves hum-
ming along to. Its unlikely that
well ever see a concept album or
rock-opera type piece from The
Darkness; this album is enough
to prove to everyone that there is
some real talent behind the fal-
setto screams and buzzsaw gui-
tars.

Top 10 Albums at Gallery of Sound
Mark Tremonti certainly didnt need to
make a solo record. As guitarist for bands
like mega-successful 1990s anthem-spew-
ers Creed and its successor, Alter Bridge,
hed already cemented himself among the
elite of post-grunge shredders.
What makes Tremontis solo debut, All
I Was, special, though, is its marriage of
infectious metal-infused riffing and soul-
baring headspace, all without that tinge of
sanctimonious pretense that often drags
himdown playing behind Creeds Scott
Stapp. This is Tremontis declaration of
independence, and it rocks hard.
This is easily the heaviest project Tre-
monti, who also handles vocals quite capa-
bly here, has ever been involved with.
Opener Leave It Alone bubbles with a
dark sense of melody and crushing licks,
setting the stage for pure modern-rock ear
candy. So Youre Afraid can be interpret-
ed as an amalgamof Exodus-like thrash
sweetened with a soaring Breaking Benja-
min-style chorus, rivetingly alluding to the
songs lyrical insecurities.
Elsewhere, Brains steals a page from
Sevendusts syncopated, bottom-bounced
rhythms, while NewWay Out reveals
Tremontis inner songwriter the songs
cascading clean/distorted shades echoing
his fight for answers to an unknown future
as his pristine vocal vibrato carries the line
I hope that theres just some other way
out.
All I Was, simply put, is all Tremonti
is. He makes a defining musical statement,
culling the best sonic aspects of his past
work, combining themwith his desire to be
heard as an individual and unleashing the
results with gale-force confidence. If you
liked anything at all this guys done up until
now, youll love this.

Tremonti comes
into own
Since forming in 2005, the always
eclectic rock and hip-hop outfit Flo-
bots have been spreading their message
through music. The concept of fusing
music with politics isnt a new one,
but it is something Flobots Jesse
Walker, Kenny Ortiz, Mackenzie Gault,
Jamie Laurie and Stephen Brackett
have done consistently throughout the
duration of their career.
The group recently released the
long-awaited The Circle In The
Square via Shanachie Entertainment
on Aug. 28. The creation of this latest
effort unexpectedly coincided with the
first day of Occupy Wall Street in
New York. As the band entered the
studio to record, what was happening
in New York, among other political
issues, provided the setting for the
album.
Flobots music is always a unique
blend of alternative rock, hip-hop and
profound message. Laurie, also com-
monly known as Jonny 5, is an in-
credibly talented MC. His passion for
politics and music are evident on this
release. His spoken-word approach on
each track is meshed with inventive
rock and is backed by the occasional
vocals of his bandmates.
The albums title track seems to
grow more intense as the song goes
on, as Flobots engage listeners with
each word. The rest of the tracks
switch from aggressive rock to catchy
hip-hop, making Flobots undeniably
versatile.
Gonna Be Free is an intoxicating
and upbeat track thats a highlight, but
there are many standouts on this 15-
song record, which gives The Circle
In The Square an overall likeability.

By Nick Delorenzo
Special to the Weekender
W
hats in a game? Quite a
bit, as it turns out.
You might have en-
countered it already in certain
Facebook apps, when using Four-
square or on any number of pro-
gressive websites.
Foursquare is a great example.
Whoever has checked in the most
times at a given location be-
comes the Mayor of that loca-
tion.
While the idea on Foursquares
part is to drive more use of the
platform, businesses have latched
on to the idea, offering deals and
promotions to frequent visitors.
Thats a very basic example, and
the tip of a far larger and more
interesting iceberg.
Its called Gamification, a
concept in which aspects of
games scores, rewards, etc.
are applied to something other
than a game actions you take
on a website, for example. Its
starting to gain serious traction
so much so that educational
institutions like the University of
Pennsylvania are offering courses
on Gamification and its applica-
tions.
Companies like Nike have
taken the concept to the next
level with Nike+, an app that
uses the GPS and accelerometer
capabilities of modern phones to
track the users running progress
and that of friends, allowing
them to compete for rewards.
Nike+ also offers its users
milestones earn NikeFuel by
running or walking, for example,
and its system will award badges
and trophies that can be shared
and seen by other users.
For Nike, as a business, this
means that their customers are
being actively incentivized to
continue to purchase Nike prod-
ucts, which brings in direct reve-
nue, and to utilize Nike apps and
websites, constantly exposing
them to Nikes marketing mess-
ages.
But the process can be even
simpler.
Users can be directed to differ-
ent areas of a website on Easter
egg hunts to make them more
aware of products, features or
marketing messages.
They can be rewarded for
frequent visits, or for taking
actions that generate value or
content.
Achieving goals is one of the
reasons people enjoy playing
games. By applying those con-
cepts to everyday tasks, its pos-
sible to simultaneously improve a
users experience and to subtly
push them towards desired
actions or tasks.
People also enjoy competition.
An otherwise mundane action
like posting a message is subtly
changed when people are ranked
or rated for the number of com-
ments posted, or the highest rated
post, and there are rewards or
status messages involved. W

interactive and new media for

Give 'Gamification' your attention
Foursquare is a great example of Gamification.
Gamification is starting to gain serious
traction so much so that educational
institutions like the University of
Pennsylvania are offering courses
on Gamification and its applications.

A
ccording to legend, there
is a very hairy, very
horny terror that stalks
the woods. Though many say
its just a myth, its victims are
all too aware of its twisted,
murderous perversion. It is, of
course, the dreaded sexsquatch
a beast with a sexual appe-
tite as large as its fabled feet.
Its also the title of an independ-
ent horror film that premieres
Thursday, Aug. 30 at Cinema &
Drafthouse in Hazleton.
Sexsquatch is the latest
creation from the mind of Chris
Seaver of Warlock Home Video.
The 60-minute movie premiers
as part of a double-feature with
another of Seavers films, Geek
War, which the creator de-
scribes as, a dripping, moist
love letter to everything geeky.
Hardly a newcomer to the
independent horror movie scene,
Seaver has a long and storied
past that goes back more than
20 years.

and then closed that down last
year when I started Warlock.
In total, Sexsquatch is just
one of nearly 50 features Seaver
has worked on, noting that,
Through the years, Ive made
well over a hundred shorts.
Hes even worked on produc-
tions for Troma Entertainment
and Lloyd Kaufman.
Audiences should know be-
forehand, however, that Sex-
squatch is definitely not for
kids.
I dont know how people are
going to take these movies,
Seaver said while discussing the
movies sex scenes and ex-
tremely vulgar, salty language.
This is going to be very in-
teresting as people sit down to
eat while watching Sex-
squatch.
For the uninitiated, the Cine-
ma & Drafthouse is like dinner
and a movie merged into one.
Rather than the usual theater
seating, there are rows of tables
lined up facing the big screen.
Viewers can order food and
alcoholic beverages from their
table as they are served
throughout the movie. And
though theres no nudity, be-
tween the gore and vulgarity, it
might not be something audi-
ences would care to stomach
along with a burger and fries.
For the right crowd, however,
its probably going to be a blast
especially for people like
Varla Darling.
Darling is the person most
responsible for bringing these
movies to the Cinema & Drafth-
ouse. Aside from an acting role
in Sexsquatch, shes also cred-
ited as its makeup artist.
I love horror movies, and I
also really like comedy movies,
Darling shared in a sit-down
interview with the Weekender.
But I dont like stuff like
Blades of Glory, or any of the
other cookie-cutter movies that
were pumping out nowadays. I
like campy, slapstick, really
over-the-top stuff that cant
really happen. Stuff like Ear-
nest.
Darling became a fan of
Seavers after watching one of
his movies.
It had pretty much every-
thing I love about horror and
comedy movies.
From there, she attended
horror movie conventions, like
Monster-Mania Con in Cherry
Hill, N.J., where she first met
Seaver a few years ago.
I didnt go all fangirl on
him, but I was very excited to
finally meet him, she recalled.

movie review
I
n the opening moments of
Premium Rush, our hero,
Wilee, the Columbia Uni-
versity law student turned in-
trepid bike messenger played by
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, waxes
poetic on riding pell-mell
through New Yorks busy
streets. Theres no stress on his
face as he battles noise, pedes-
trians and taxi cabs.
Can anyone remember the
last time Gordon-Levitt looked
at ease? Hes an outstanding,
versatile actor who twee
Web videos with Zooey Des-
chanel aside inevitably grav-
itates toward the somber. Even
50/50 and (500) Days of
Summer, his recent extended
visits to lightweight fare, had
the heavy touches of cancer
and romantic anguish. Millions
more, of course, know Gordon-
Levitt from his fine work in
Christopher Nolans Inception
and The Dark Knight Rises,
two of the moodiest, most in-
sightful blockbusters to hit the
summer multiplex circuit in
recent years.
Watching Gordon-Levitt
nimbly avoid rush-hour traffic
and pedal away from bad guys
is surprising. Not as much,
though, as Premium Rush
being a fun, surprisingly smart
flick. It wont turn the actor
into a bigger name; the movie
only made $6.3 million at the
box office this weekend, good
for seventh place. Thats fine.
By continuing to exhibit com-
mon sense regarding projects,
even popcorn fare, Gordon-
Levitt has increased audience
goodwill. Its a little gesture
with long-term benefits. Con-
sider this: When was the last
time you were excited to see a
movie featuring Nicolas Cage
or Gerard Butler?
In Premium Rush, Wilee
must deliver an envelope from
his girlfriends roommate (Jamie
Chung) that is desired by NYC
detective Bobby Monday (Mi-
chael Shannon). Just as Wilee
takes off, Monday demands the
envelope. The young man re-
fuses, prompting the cop to
chase the renegade cyclist
brakes and gears get you killed,
man all through the citys
nooks and crannies. Can Wilee
ride like hell and get the deliv-
ery to its recipient by 7 p.m.?
Will he reconcile with his
tough-talking, hard-riding girl-
friend (Dania Ramirez), who
wants a life beyond the bike?
Will Wilee beat his workplace
rival (Wole Parks), a well-
groomed braggart who refers to
himself in the third-person?
Veteran director-screenwriter
David Koepp (Ghost Town)
has such fun with the material
that predictability doesnt mat-
ter. He and co-writer John
Kamps play with the beat-the-
clock storyline, jumping back
and forth to provide back-
ground on the characters, in-
cluding Shannons unhinged
detective. Though the city and
its tight spaces serve as an
entertaining obstacle course,
Koepp loves showing its seedier
side, where nail salons and
bingo parlors house the under-
worlds featured players. And it
helps that Koepp doesnt turn
the volume up to 11. The pace
is crisp. The camerawork is
sharp and quick without in-
ducing dizziness, a miracle for
a movie aimed at the Mountain
Dew community.
Gordon-Levitt, on his gravitas
sabbatical, is fine in the lead,
though no one will put this in
his growing greatest hits collec-
tion. The real standout here is
Shannon (Revolutionary
Road) whose eye-popping,
foam-at-the-mouth performance
gives the energetic proceedings
a bracing shot of menace. Its
another element that pushes
Premium Rush beyond being
a teen-friendly chase movie on
two wheels. All Gordon-Levitt
has to do is ride. No wonder
he looks relaxed.

ew things say Amer-
icana quite like a vin-
tage jean jacket. Some-
thing about it conjures up im-
ages of rock n roll, regrettable
eagle tattoos and the open road.
And, really, whats more Amer-
ican than the open road?
With their new clothing com-
pany, Vagabonds USA, Amer-
icana is exactly what NEPA
natives Jackie and Hannah (last
names withheld upon request)
hope to evoke.
The cool thing about denim
is its a staple, but it goes
through all these different phas-
es depending on whats going
on in the culture and whats
fashionable, Hannah said. It
changes with the culture but its
always popular.
The look is retro-punk hipster
meets outlaw-biker chic: Vin-
tage denim vests and jackets
colored with dyes and bleach,
adorned with metal studs and
emblazoned with patches. Each
item boasts several patches
bearing the names of far-off
destinations like Las Vegas and
Boston. The idea is to live up
to the sense of aimless adven-
ture the name Vagabonds
USA suggests.
Despite that unifying theme,
Jackie and Hannah feel their
creations are diverse enough to
appease a variety of tastes.
Describing the Vagabonds USA
collection as eclecticism with
a whimsical twist, the pair
strives to give each item its
own unique identity by design-
ing them with motifs refer-
encing American pop-culture
iconography.
Examples include a jacket
called The American Dream
inspired by professional wrestler
Dusty Rhodes, a vest called
Goosebumps inspired by the
eponymous childrens books
from author R.L. Stine and
another vest called Punky
Brewster inspired by, well,
guess.
A lot of them start out as us
just joking around, Jackie said
It all comes about really orga-
nically. Sometimes we have an
idea in mind before we make a
jacket, and sometimes were
just having fun naming them
after the fact.
The inspiration for this busi-
ness venture came from Jackies
extensive collection of patches,
acquired over the course of
countless family vacations start-
ing in childhood. Slapping them
on everything from jackets to
backpacks, Jackie said her
patch-crazy wardrobe never
failed to start conversations and
garner compliments.
After hearing the question
Where did you buy that?
enough times from strangers,
the idea of recreating Jackies
signature style as a clothing
line proved too promising to
pass up. After a quick name
change the pair added an
s to the name Vagabond USA
when they found that Internet
domain name already taken
Vagabonds USA was born earli-
er this year.
The process of creating a
Vagabonds USA piece can be
long and labor intensive. Every-
thing is sewn, stitched, dyed,
bleached and studded by hand
by Jackie and Hannah them-
selves. As a result, each item is
also one-of-a-kind.
When you factor in the time
it takes gathering all the materi-
als, theres a lot of work in-
volved. All of our stuff is re-
purposed items from vintage
stores and second-hand stores.
A lot of it is things we just
find, Hannah said.
Some of the patches are
newer. Some are very old.
Weve found old Girl Scout
sashes and used the patches
from them. One time, I went
into a vintage store and asked
the lady there if they had any
patches and she said, No, I
dont think so. Then I found a
shoebox full of them. Its a lot
of fun hunting these things
down.
Prices for vests and jackets
range from $35 to more than
$100, but the pair plans to
branch out with different kinds
of items for different budgets,
including rucksacks and banda-
nas. The focus, however, will
remain on the theme of travel.
Im always looking for a
Wilkes-Barre patch, Hannah
said. I can never find one. W
As the name might suggest, Vagabonds USA is inspired by the open road.

hen your jailed ex-

husband, its probably a sign
that your life could use
some revamping. But for a
good portion of Laura Lipp-
mans And When She Was

Or perhaps shes incapable

from an abusive, abhorrent

happy to let her dance and

she finally meets Val, a
pimp who unknowingly fa-
thers her son.
When Val gets busted for
murder, Heloise eventually
uses her prison visits with
him to act as his protege,
learning how to build her
own business. And she shifts
from prostitute to prostitute/
madam with great ease, liv-
ing life on the outside in a
soccer-mom community as a
single mom who received a
windfall from a dead hus-
band.
But Heloise, or Helen as
she was once known in a
former life, is skating on
thin ice. Her high-end busi-
ness may be lucrative, but
its also a juggling act which
doesnt allow for many peo-
ple to get too close. And
when people from her past
life start dying, she realizes
the cops may be the least of
her worries.
The beauty of And When
She Was Good is the fact
that Lippman is able to con-
struct a novel that has all
the guilty pleasure elements
of a Fifty Shades of Grey
type of storyline with the
writing to back it up. It may
be about sex, lies and be-
trayal, but Lippmans book
never feels corny or forced
only engaging and, at the
end, suspenseful.
The book also has the
paradoxical balance between
housewife and hooker. They
may deal in different cur-
rencies a home, a dia-
mond, a car versus cold,
hard cash but both have
fundamental similarities. Yet
one is celebrated and the
other is often viewed as
morally repugnant. There is
the underlying feeling that
Lippman is using this book
as a commentary on the
injustices of that tug of war.
The fact that she treats He-
loise as any single mom
struggling to maintain a
relationship with her sons
father and running her own
business speaks to that idea.
Through her prose, Lipp-
man paints young Helen
with more vibrancy and per-
sonality than world-weary
Heloise, and yet this may
point to the fact that Heloise
has a much greater burden
to bear as an adult. And
even though shes hardened,
sometimes even cold, the
reader is still on her side,
still wants her to come out
on top and prove them all
wrong.

Good

or those who have had the
privilege of traveling to
New Orleans, you know
the amazing food, music and
atmosphere are only the begin-
ning. For those who havent
made it there yet, a taste of the
Crescent City is coming to NEPA
Friday, Aug. 31 at the River
Street Jazz Cafe as homegrown
musician Anders Osborne takes
the stage.
This is the first time Osborne
will play in the area, only having
stopped in Philadelphia and
Lancaster previously, and he is
ready to bring his unique sound
to the Valley.
Im excited to be there, said
Osborne. Its always great play-
ing in a new place. Its great to
see people who have wanted to
see you for a long time.
Osborne has been on the road
for about four years touring and
promoting his latest album,
Black Eye Galaxy, which has a
different twist from his previous
records.
I like that its just two guitars,
bass and drums, explained Os-
borne. Its mostly the road band
and I used that as the blueprint
for how I wanted it to sound.
If youre not familiar with his
music just yet, Osborne describes
his sound as pure rock n roll.
If you listen to rock between
1969 and 1976, thats me. I try to
be up to date but its hard for me
to do, he shared. Thats the era
I grew up in; thats the music I
like.
He lists classic acts like Led
Zeppelin, James Taylor, Neil
Young and the Grateful Dead as
ones closest to his musical styl-
ing, but living in New Orleans
for as long as he has, Osborne
couldnt help but be influenced
by the music that defines the city.
He isnt a jazz musician, but he
learned a thing or two from the
genre.
I think that the freedom of
improvising and mixing styles
and influences is very common
in New Orleans, he said. Its
not jazz, but I like the freedom of
jazz.
As for Thursdays show at the
Jazz Cafe, Osborne promised a
pretty rocking night.
We crank it up pretty good;
we take our time, play tough and
heavy vintage style rock n roll.
Well also have an acoustic set,
make it a little bit more of a
balance. Hopefully itll be a
mixture of dancing, head banging
and grooves. W

ralphie report
the
By Ralphie Aversa
Special to the Weekender

Call Me Maybe singer

Carly Rae Jepsen wouldnt
deny that she definitely took
note when her song with Owl
City, Good Time began to
climb up the charts. The track
has officially relieved her of the
one-hit wonder moniker.
I think there definitely was a
little bit of a pressure-off when
I saw that Good Time was
doing really well, Jepsen ex-
plained aboard her tour bus to
The Ralphie Radio Show.
But, I try never to focus on the
success of a song. Its more just I
feel it when Im writing it and
when its done and when the
product feel ready.
That product is Jepsens
debut U.S. album, Kiss.
No ones heard it yet; its not
released until Sept. 18 but I al-
ready feel really pumped and
really proud and if people like it,
thats bonus.
When the Canadian singer says
no one, she of course means
the public. But people inside her
camp, including manager Scoot-
er Braun and superstar Justin
Bieber, have heard the record in
its entirety.
Scooter called me today say-
ing, You should feel really
proud; this is fantastic, Jepsen
said. At the end of the day, if my
family, friends and I dig it, then I
feel like Ive won over my main
crowd.
Jepsen is ramping up press and
public appearances leading to the
release of Kiss. Then its off
with The Biebs for a 40-plus date
trek of North America on the
Believe tour. During the run,
Jepsen will reunite with a former
tourmate from years ago: Guita-
rist and Bieber musical director
Dan Kanter.
He played with a band called
Shiloh, recalled Jepsen, who
toured Canada, in a van, with the
group. We got to know him
then, and now were gonna be
doing it stadium-style later on in
life. Its really, really cool.
The whole experience with
Call Me Maybe has been cool
in itself for Jepsen, culminating
with President Barack Obama
telling a radio station in New
Mexico that he thinks the track is
a cute pop song.
I get surprised every day,
Jepsen admits. Theres a mo-
ment where Im having to pinch
myself. You hear (The Presidents
comments), you hear that the
(U.S.) swim teams done it, you
heard that Katy Perry has decid-
ed to make a parody of it. Its
really good news and keeps life
really interesting and really excit-
ing right now.
NEW NKOTB
The fellas of New Kids on the
Block arent planning to re-retire
anytime soon. In an interview to
promote the Summer MixTape
Fest earlier this month, Jordan
Knight divulged NKOTB plans
to release new music and tour
next year.
We are definitely moving
forward in the recording studio,
making new music, Knight said.
Its in the infancy stages right
now, but well definitely have
something ready by our tour next
year.
In addition to performing both
nights of the MixTape Fest,
NKOTB held a four and a half
hour meet-and-greet with fans in
Hershey. W
Listen to The Ralphie Radio
Show weeknights from 7
p.m.-midnight on 97 BHT.
Guess you cant call Carly Rae Jepsen a one-hit wonder
anymore.

Life is a Drag
By Estella Sweet
Weekender Correspondent
H
ow would you go about
introducing your signif-
icant other to family,
when they arent accepting of
your lifestyle?
An Ebony Girl with Attitude
D
ear Ebony Girl,
Introducing your sig-
nificant other (S.O.) to
the family is never easy. My
first piece of advice is to talk it
out with your S.O. first. Assure
them that regardless of the
outcome, your feelings for them
arent going to change based
upon the approval (or disapprov-
al) of others.
Once youve cleared that up,
its time to decide upon the best
approach. If you know your
entire family is disapproving,
its probably not a good idea to
just take your S.O. to a family
picnic. Try a more intimate
setting where you and your S.O.
are less likely to feel ganged up
on. If its only one or two peo-
ple in your family that you
know have an issue, then maybe
the picnic is a good idea. In
either situation, if you can get
past the initial introductions and
your family is given a chance to
see the two of you interacting
together, its possible their opin-
ions may begin to change.
Regardless of which approach
you choose, have an exit strate-
gy. If you notice your partner is
uncomfortable or if you see its
not going so well, abort! Make
the best choices you can de-
pending upon your family, your
situation and your discussion
with your S.O. Whether your
family approves of your choices
or not, remember, your signif-
icant other is your partner.
In a perfect world, everyone
would get along and be one big
happy family, but in reality,
when it comes to relationships,
it is OK to keep your romantic
life separate from your family
life.
D
ear Estella, who was
your greatest inspiration
in NEPA?
Phyllis
D
ear Phyllis,
Im inspired by so
many people and things,
its difficult to narrow it down
to just one, so Ill stick to the
people who have inspired me in
my career. Here are a few of
the noteworthy that Id like to
thank. My very first friend in
Wilkes-Barre was Idalis Lan-
zara. She took me to Twist
Night Club for the first time
and is one hell of a performer.
Idalis helped inspire my career
choice and, to this day, contin-
ues to pave her own path. Idalis
introduced me to the second
person who had a strong influ-
ence on my career choice, my
ex-roommate Kerri Ann. Kerri
Ann has performed in the Val-
ley for many years and is the
person who ultimately con-
vinced me I could make quite a
career out of my passion for the
stage.
The next person I would have
to mention is Miss Vivica Von
Peters. She has been like a
sister to me and has been by
my side from the very begin-
ning. The two of us have con-
tinued to work together the past
six years and she is another
strong-willed human being who
has paved the way for so many
in our area.
The final person Id like to
mention, DJnik Hughes, manag-
er of Twist Night Club, also
had a great deal of influence.
He is someone who, in the
beginning, pretty much told me
I sucked. However, he proved to
me I had a lot to learn and
motivated me to get out there
and make a name for myself.
Nik has high standards and a
very blunt way of telling it like
it is, proving that candy-coating
things doesnt always send such
a clear message.
I feel that appreciating every-
one for what they bring to the
table each day is key when
dealing with people. Thank you,
Phyllis, for helping me to re-
member gratitude and humility
are principles to live by. W

sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
Weekender Correspondent
D
ear College Freshmen,
Two months ago, you
sat in your cap and gown
and had some schmuck deliver a
commencement address to your
graduating class. They probably
told you to shoot for the stars and
chase your dreams, wishing you
the best of luck in the next chap-
ter of your life. You probably sat
there looking into the distance
thinking to yourself, When is
this motherf--ker going to shut
up so I can get wasted?, paying
no attention at all to the advice
they bestowed.
To be completely honest, the
advice they gave you was com-
plete bullshit and about as neces-
sary as the p in pneumonia. If
you want to hear stories about
how you can do anything you put
your mind to then pick up a copy
of Chicken Soup for the Preg-
nant Teenage Soul or some shit.
If you want advice on how to
make your freshman year of
college amazing, listen up:
Study hard, but party even
harder. If you go to class and take
good notes, there is no reason
you should miss a party to study.
Just look through the notes you
took an hour before your test,
and theres no way you can fail.
When youre trying to figure
out who to be friends with, just
look around your classroom.
Anyone wearing pajamas or the
clothes from last night is who
you should be friends with be-
cause theyre obviously a good
time, and theyre still responsible
enough to go to class.
Most importantly, dont be
afraid to experiment with your
sexuality or bath salts (I joke, I
joke). This is a time for you to let
loose, make mistakes and discov-
er who you are. Still keep in
mind, however, that its not a bad
thing to show your serious side
sometimes. Dont feel like you
always have to be crazy. A very
wise magazine editor taught me
that.
So, to all the freshmen around
the country starting college this
week, remember that in 10 years
youre not going to care if you

bitch & brag
By Jeff and Amanda of 98.5 KRZ
Special to the Weekender
Jeffs Bitch:
Nike sucks. Yeah I know I
own several pairs of Nikes in-
cluding several of the new neon
colors. They dominate sneakers
the way Old Forge dominates
pizza. But Nikes latest move
just sucks big time.
If you havent heard, when
Nike releases the new LeBron
James sneaker, the price will be
$315. Thats not a typo! 315 big
ones! Theyre still just a combi-
nation of vinyl and rubber, care-
fully molded by some exhausted
14 year old in some remote
southeast Asian sweatshop. So
why the audacity to charge a
new record price? Because peo-
ple are stupid enough to line up
at some store at midnight to get
their hands on the newest, latest,
greatest, blah, blah, blah
Some will be collectors who
then place them on a shelf like
a museum artifact, but most will
be opportunity seekers who will
quickly throw them up on Ebay,
hoping to find an even bigger
idiot. Theres usually a mall
scuffle, fight or stabbing at
these events. Hey, were not
talking about the brightest peo-
ple here.
Nike makes billions every
year, so why push the envelope
on the LeBron sneaker? This is
just my own personal theory. I
think it makes its regular sneak-
ers look like a steal. Think
about it: A great sneaker like
the long-running Pegasus 28
(these are my personal favorite)
run around $99. Pretty steep for
a frickin sneaker! Yet when you
keep hearing numbers tossed
around like $315, after awhile,
anything around $100 sounds
pretty good.
Nike and LeBron have
no shame. Apparently, LeBrons
not content with his tens of
millions in salary. He and his
colleagues dont mind forcing
ticket prices so high that a trip
with your kids to a game is like
saving for a vacation. Now he
needs to make something as
simple as buying a pair of
sneakers out of reach. They
suck, but sadly, its proof once
again, theres no shortage of
dumb people.
Amandas Brag:
Ive become obsessed with
what, for me, has become the
most addicting app ever.
If youre not playing Song
Pop, youre probably sleeping
plenty at night. If you are play-
ing Song Pop, like me, youre
probably up until all hours of
the night challenging your
friends, family and complete
strangers to 90s Alternative
Name That Tune-style races.
You can play Song Pop on Face-
book, your iPhone or your iPad
and, to be honest, I play on all
three.
Just like Draw Something and
Words with Friends, Song Pop
is the latest app to take over the
lives of those who are easily
addicted to games. I mean real-
ly, what is more fun than actual-
ly naming a song in .04 sec-
onds? Thats my record. I
named Bruno Mars song Gre-
nade in .04 seconds.
When it comes to the Todays
Hits category, Im your girl.
90s Alternative and 2000s
Rock categories, I rock. Modern
Rap, 80s Hits and Love Songs,
I havent got a clue and lose
every time.
Did I mention its a free app?
If you love music, do yourself a
favor and start playing! W
Be ready to cough up $315 if you want to walk a mile in LeBron James Nikes.
Well, mark this down as Amandas latest obsession.
Melissa

s Mind
No woman in the history
of the universe has EVER
looked forward to a baby
shower or bridal shower.
Can we stop having these
things? Ill still get you
presents, but could you
just mail me potato salad
and cake with the thank
you note?

just for the
health of it
By Tim Hlivia
Special to the Weekender
I
f you knew that a certain
type of exercise could bene-
fit your heart, strengthen
your bones, improve balance
and sport performance, help
shed body fat, and make you
look and feel better, wouldnt
you want to get started as soon
as possible?
Well, it turns out that studies
prove that adding strength train-
ing to your arsenal of exercise
choices can do all of that and
more. The misconception is that
training with weights will make
you big and bulky. It couldnt
be further from the truth, and
its just not that simple.
Strength training can be de-
fined as using body weight for
resistance, utilizing dumbbells,
free weights, machines or anoth-
er object that has mass. It is an
important part of an overall
fitness program. Muscle mass
naturally diminishes with age.
And, if you dont do anything to
maintain or replace the lean
muscle tissue you lose, you will
increase the percentage of fat in
and on your body.
Strength training also helps
you:
Develop strong bones.
Strength training increases bone
density by stressing your bones
and reduces the risk of devel-
oping brittle bones and osteopo-
rosis.
Controls weight. The more
lean muscle tissue you add to
your frame, the hotter your
internal engine will burn, thus
increasing your resting metabo-
lism.
Boosts stamina. As your
body gets stronger, you will
build endurance and wont fa-
tigue as easily.
Reduces injury rate. Build-
ing muscle reduces your chance
of injury by protecting your
joints.
Strength training also helps
with other activities you may
enjoy such as running, yoga,
cycling and golf.
Running: Competitive run-
ners are interested in becoming
faster. But, adding more miles
to your runs will never make
you faster. Adding muscle to
your hips and legs will allow
you to move faster as you pro-
pel your body forward.
Yoga: Weight training will
help you with yoga, too. As
your body becomes stronger,
you are able to hold your poses
longer and with greater ease. It
will also increase your muscular
endurance for those long yoga
sessions.
Cycling: Cycling regularly
is great for lower body strength,
but leaves a lot to be desired for
the upper body muscle groups.
And this can be a major liability
for the roadies and mountain
bikers. A reasonable approach is
to add strength, not size, in the
winter months.
Golf: While golf may be a
captivating and an enjoyable
activity, it has no value in terms
of fitness enhancement with
the slight exception if you walk
and carry your bag all 18 holes.
Research clearly shows that
regular strength training routines
will enhance your club speed,
shot distance and rotational
movement.
Always consult a fitness pro-
fessional before starting any
weight training routine to ensure
safety. For more info, call Lev-
erage Fitness Studio at 338.2386
or visit leveragefitnessstudio-
.com to get started today. W
Strength training does so much more than just making
you stronger.

Whats not to like about a 2002 real

Its simply one heck of a machine.

By Robbie Vanderveken
Special to the Weekender
W
hen I was a kid, there
werent too many
shows cooler then
Transformers, but in the past,
there havent really been any
good Transformers games
until 2010s War for Cyber-
tron. War for Cybertron was
not another bad movie tie-in
game; it was a loving tribute
to all things Transformers.
Fall of Cybertron, released
Aug. 21 for Xbox 360, PS3
and PC, is not just a quick
cash grab or a crappy sequel;
it retains its predecessors ap-
peal while improving its ga-
meplay in some significant
ways.
When it comes to graphics
and overall feel, this game
rocks it really does make
you feel like giant robot. You
can transform at will, and you
have a varied selection of guns,
swords, rockets and much
more. The game takes place on
the same world as the last one,
the Transformers home planet
of Cybertron. Over the course
of the 13 chapters, you get to
see all of the sites Cybertron
has to offer, such as cities,
caves and ancient robot ruins.
One thing Fall of Cyber-
tron does different than the
previous Transformers game
is it decides a specific Autobot
or Decepticon for you to play.
It does sound disappointing
that you cant play your favor-
ite guy all the time, but what
it does do is allow the game
designers to tailor-make game
levels to show off the abilities
of that character. This makes
the gameplay more varied and
helps you to get to know the
strengths and weaknesses of
each bot. Each transformer has
specific abilities that make
them all feel very distinct.
Cliffjumper has a cloaking
ability, and his level is a
stealth mission; Jazz has a
grappling hook and gets to
swing all over; and I even got
to play as my childhood favor-
ite, Grimlock, the T Rex Dino-
bot!
Every character you can play
has a lengthy and varied expe-
rience; you can play as jets,
dinosaurs and even colossal
robots like Bruticus and Met-
roplex, which are city-size
monsters that can destroy any-
thing. Despite not being able to
pick your guy and having more
scripted levels, the environ-
ments are still huge and let
you move around as much as
you want, which is particularly
great for flying characters to
really explore and perform
great aerial tricks. Regardless
of which character you are,
you can collect money and
Energon pieces that you can
cash in for all sorts of up-
grades, and for completionists,
there are tons of collectables to
keep you busy for quite a
while.
Even though Fall of Cyber-
tron doesnt have the co-op
gameplay its counterpart had,
there are still some great on-
line multiplayer modes that you
can play. Just like Gears of
Wars Horde Mode, Fall of
Cybertron offers a similar
mode called Escalation. In this
mode, you defend your territo-
ry against waves of bad guys
coming at you and your team.
It is a blast because it makes
you think on the fly and come
up with strategies to defend
your base. It also offers all of
the standard multiplayer options
like death match, capture the
flag and much more.
My favorite thing about this
game besides all of the fan
service is you can actually
make your own transformer
that you can use in the mul-
tiplayer and customize what it
will turn into, its color, size
and weapons.
Overall Fall of Cybertron
is a great game; the graphics
and set pieces are jaw-drop-
ping, the gameplay is fun and
varied, and the multiplayer is
fun and addictive. If you are a
Transformers fan or you just
like to shoot things, you should
definitely pick up this game.
You can learn about the history
of the Transformers and play
one of the best games of the
year. W

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
I love embarrassing you, Virgo. I relish
the way you blush to the roots of your hair
and smile sheepishly as if you feel good
all over. You must adore being teased. This
week youre due to receive some of the
most euphorically ego-boosting compli-
ments youve ever heard but please
give as good as you get. Pretend youre
your friends agent, lawyer or conniving,
matchmaking mother. Publicly cast them
in the most flattering spotlight possible.
The quality of your advocacy will deter-
mine in which category the comments
regarding you will fall: Humiliating accu-
racy or embarrassing lavishness. Im sure
you appreciate the distinction.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Youve got one can of spinach left,
Popeye. Make it count. This particular
batch of greens has an imminent expira-
tion date. So deliver your knockout punch
early and effectively. Otherwise, we could
be in for a long, exhausting bout of half-
hearted, delirious blows, with no one get-
ting the upper hand for hours. Youre too
evenly matched without your secret green
weapon. Dont let this become a grueling
test of endurance. Swing high while those
muscles are bulging. Olive Oyls watching,
and if you cant impress her, I cant help
but doubt your ability to impress anyone.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Rumor has it ravens are attracted to
shiny objects, octopi are smarter than cats,
and Scorpios have powerful, venomous
stings. All of the above theories may be
true, but theres no proof. As your astro-
logical attorney, Ill also point out that
statistically, those who possess stingers are
more than twice as likely to prick them-
selves than anyone else. Your defending
argument when accused of wielding your
stinger inappropriately: I was aiming for
myself. Its not much of a defense, but at
this point, its all weve got. Im legally
obligated to say this: You may lose the
case. But dont worry, Scorpios have a
knack for being sentenced with puni-
shments theyll enjoy.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
The coach of the winning sports team
often gets a cooler full of ice water
dumped over his head by his own team.
However unpleasant, its an expression of
affection and appreciation. In a similar
fashion, the dousing blast of chill you may
be deluged with this week is not intended
to actually extinguish your internal flame.
Youre supposed to grin through the freez-
ing flow. Just like those comedic roasts
where friends take turns ridiculing some-
one they dearly love. Stoke up your flames
this week so theyre not put out by people
celebrating their warmth.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
I know Capricorns who refuse to put hot
sauce on anything or eat a meal thats even
remotely spicy. Maybe they think one fire
in the belly is enough. Id agree, if it went
even halfway toward warming your icy
cold feet. Your unreasonable reluctance to
go through with your promises is so lame.
I can only warn you: If you dont soon
demonstrate what an honorable creature of
integrity you actually are, those who are
counting on your word will be surrepti-
tiously spicing your food with red peppers
and horseradish into next year. That puni-
shment hurts going in and coming out.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Youve heard the adage: You can attract
more flies with honey than with vinegar.
Ive got a similar one for you: You can kill
more slugs with a plate of flat beer than a
dozen pair of murderous bare hands.
Plucking and crushing the slimy things off
your garden plants may yield some bizarre
pleasure in the same realm as popping zits
or burping babies. But its time-consum-
ing, gross and ineffective. Try a different
strategy. Give your unwary adversaries a
little too much of exactly what they want
enough for them to drown in, anyway.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
There are ways and ways to express
yourself. When people dont seem to
understand what youre trying to commu-
nicate, it may very well be their own ob-
tuseness getting in the way. However, I
hope youre flexible enough to consider
that youre not being clear or obvious
enough. Very often, Pisces err on the side
of polite subtlety and giving people the
benefit of the doubt. Dont do that this
week. Be huge, be massively obvious, and
use the strongest language you can to
convey your message. Its important
enough to deserve at least all that.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
Now that youve astounded everyone
with that daring plunge through rings of
fire, the only obvious way out of the
shockingly deep pool at the bottom is by
hoisting yourself up on those very same
flaming hoops. Better put on your helmet
and asbestos gloves, right? Not necessar-
ily. Theres an easier and even more dra-
matic way out. Youve turned into quite a
good swimmer over the past few ship-
wrecked and stormy months. Swim to the
bottom and pull the plug. I guarantee the
water will have completely drained before
you drown but not before youve thor-
oughly thrilled your adoring audience.
And so the legend continues.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
You plan and plan and plan. You might
take years setting up a business plan,
marriage proposal or practical joke (or all
three in one!). But sometimes you simply
have to act. Jump from the plane, and all
your ticket-purchasing, insurance compar-
ison, weather consultation and devout
prayer comes to less than naught you
either open the parachute or you splat. I
wont predict that this week contains one
of those all-or-nothing moments. But I
will caution you they have a tendency
to sneak up on you, and Ive noticed one
or two lurking behind the bushes around
your house.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
The Worriers are the people who fret
about you constantly. Theyll feel anxious
until they finally get you strapped into a
posture-perfect bed, reading a quality book
in good light, hooked up to an IV of
chicken soup and listening to soothing
music playing softly in the background.
Going there would probably cause you to
suffer from a terminally fatal yawn, so
dont. However, please realize that these
people like to worry. Give them reasons to
feel pleasurably anxious! Fill up your IV
bag with Jack Daniels, read radical porno-
political tracts and bungee jump, if you
feel inclined. Or not. Just dont hold your-
self back on anyone elses account.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
The biggest impediment to your creative
process is this misconception you have
that youre not a creative person. Okay,
maybe youre not inventing extravagant
stage personas for yourself like a glamor-
ous Leo or concocting nympho love po-
tions like those crafty Capricorns. But
youd be surprised at how creative you
really are. In fact, if you subtracted from
this week all the nifty shortcuts, systems
and plans youve created to facilitate your
life, I doubt youd get anything done. If
single-handedly inventing your own ver-
sions of efficiency, progress and effective-
ness isnt being creative, I dont know
what is.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
The evil queen might magically (or
through plastic surgery) adopt the cherub-
ic face of blossoming youth, but she wont
regain her lost innocence. Similarly Snow
White could don black leather and wield
automatic weapons; alone, they wont
make her any tougher though. Or will
they? Perhaps if an awful old hag got to
put on the pretty naivete of childhood,
even as a ruse, theres a chance she could
relearn blind trust and idealism. And
Snow White, all decked out like a post-
apocalyptic road warrior, might actually
have to use those deadly guns thatd
toughen her up pretty quick. In a similar
fashion, you might find that the act youve
been putting on is slowly but surely be-
coming less of an act and more of a real-
ity. W
