T
his past weekend was
super busy with the Peach
Music Festival taking over
Montage Mountain and PrideF-
est turning 5 in Kirby Park, so
we have lots of pictures from
both. Plus, you can read Staff
Writer Stephanie DeBalkos
review of Friday night at Peach
and mine from Saturday (both on
p. 20).
As someone whos been to a
bunch of music festivals over the
years, I have to say the festival
was a lot of fun. And, with the
strategically placed stages, one
under the pavilion and the other
in Sno Cove, I didnt get that
I-hate-crowds vibe I usually
get at shows like this (read: Vans
Warped Tour). And the music
was damn great, too.
I thought the whole thing was
really well done and hope that
the Allman Brothers Band and
Peach Music Festival call Mon-
tage Mountain home every year.
Weve been writing about
happenings at The Vintage The-
ater in Scranton ever since it
opened its doors at its first loca-
tion at 222 Wyoming Ave. in
January 2009 and eventual move
to its second at 199 Penn Ave.,
which closed in June.
Instead of resting on their
laurels, though, co-owners Co-
nor OBrien and Theresa
OConnor have sought out a
new space, one that should be
announced the day this issue hits
stands. The two have also taken
to crowdsource-funding website
Indiegogo.com to help raise
some funds to make the move
even more of a reality. Find out
more about the future of The
Vintage Theater in correspondent
Bill Thomas cover story on pgs.
14-15.
With the job market and the
economy the way it is these days,
some people just might have to
suck it up and move back in with
the old folks, so Justin Brown
has some suggestions for making
a smooth transition in Sorry
Mom & Dad (p. 59).
On behalf of everyone here at
the big red W as we like to
call it, I let you know every week
just how thankful we are to you
for reading, following on our
social-media pages and inter-
acting with us. As another way to
say, Thanks!, weve started a
promotion that, if a Weekender
staffer sees you reading the
Weekender, well give you a
Thanks for reading card that
has a coupon for a free appetizer
at Luckys SportHouse.
So be on the lookout for us
well be looking for you.

well give you one of

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
FREEDOMUNDER ATTACK
First Amendment Blues: (1) A
bar in Horry County, S.C.,
named the Suck Bang Blow filed
a lawsuit in May challenging the
countys new ordinance prohib-
iting motorcyclists burnouts
(engine-revving with back-tire-
spinning, creating smoke and
enormous noise). The bar claims
that burnouts are important ex-
pressions of its customers man-
liness and macho and as such
are protected by the First
Amendment. (2) Luigi Bellavite
complained to reporters in
Mountain View, Colo., in July
that the theft of his Vote Satan
yard sign ought to be prosecuted
as a hate crime under state law
as he is a member of the
Church of Satan. Police called it
an ordinary theft.
GOVERNMENT IN ACTION!
-- Miniature golf is remarkably
simple to play, requiring neither
experience nor much exertion,
and even toddlers can negotiate
their own brand of fun on the
course. However, in March, a set
of accessible design standards
went into effect under the Amer-
icans With Disabilities Act, gov-
erning such things as the slope
of courses (maximum1:4 rise on
some holes), the maximum
length of the blades if artificial
turf is used, and the minimum
area of the tee-off landing (48
inches by 60 inches, with a slope
not steeper than 1:48).
-- Forgetful: (1) USA Today,
quoting a Pentagon official,
reported in July that, during the
last decade, the Pentagon had
paid late fees totaling $610
million for not returning leased
shipping containers by the due
dates. (2) A Government Ac-
countability Office report in July
revealed that the federal govern-
ments vast properties include
about 14,000 offices and build-
ings that are vacant (or nearly
so), but which the government
still pays to maintain (at about
$190 million a year). (A large
building in Washington, D.C.,s
Georgetown among the most
valuable real estate in the city
has sat mostly unused for more
than 10 years.) (3) The Miami-
Dade County, Fla., government
confirmed in April that it had
discovered, in storage, 298 brand-
new vehicles that had been pur-
chased in 2006-2007, but which
had never been used.
POLICE REPORT
In May, Chicago police arrest-
ed a man they believed had just
minutes earlier used a Bobcat
front-end loader to crash through
the window of a Family Dollar
store and steal two cans of de-
odorant and a handful of gift
cards (and nothing else) and walk
away.
PERSPECTIVE
People With Too Much Mon-
ey: The dogs could not care less,
but the luxury doghouse market
is thriving, according to a June
New York Times report. Many
of them have carpeting, heating
and air-conditioning, indoor and
outdoor lighting, elaborate ...
entertainment systems, wrote
the Times, and some even have
solar panels. But, said one owner,
Maggies never been in (hers).
Shes a house dog. Although
walmart.com offers upscale
houses for $4,400 to $4,600, the
more tony ones can go for more
than $25,000. Top-shelf interior
designers have created dog beds
suspended from the ceiling and
houses in which the music kicks
on only as the dog enters (mean-
ing that it almost never kicks on).
RECURRING THEMES
It has been reported variously
as an urban legend and a true
story, but a well-documented July
report in Chinese media, picked
up by CNN, looks unfortunately
authentic. A13-year-old boy in
Shandong Province was severely
injured by a prank at an auto
repair shop at which he worked.
Doctors at Bayi Childrens Hos-
pital in Beijing confirmed that
the co-workers had inserted the
nozzle of an air pump into his
rectum and shot air into the in-
testines, inflating his belly, da-
maging his liver, kidneys and
stomach, and sending him into a
coma for eight days. Doctors
deflated him, but at press time,
he remained in intensive care.
LEAST COMPETENT
CRIMINALS
(1) Police in Lewiston, Idaho,
discovered in July that someone
had passed a counterfeit $1 bill
recently. A veteran officer told
the Lewiston Tribune that coun-
terfeiting a $1 bill is so stupid
that he had seen only one in his
life, made by a junior-high stu-
dent to pay off a bully. (2) In
June, firefighters were called to a
trolley stop in National City,
Calif., to free the arm of a 17-
year-old boy after he got it stuck
when he reached up a vending
machine slot to try to steal a
soda. The rescuers employed
axes, crowbars, an air chisel and
a rotary saw.
READERS CHOICE
(1) Rodney Valentine, 37, was
released from jail in Wentworth,
N.C., on July 21 about 8 a.m., but
adamantly refused to leave until
deputies agreed to drive him to a
local motel. They declined, and
by noon, Valentine had been
re-arrested and charged with
trespassing in the jail. (2) TSA
Meets Its Match: Jonah Falcon
told Huffington Post in July that
he had recently survived a pat-
down at San Francisco Interna-
tional Airport. Falcon was named
in a 1999 HBO documentary as
having the largest penis on re-
cord, and apparently the suspi-
cious bulge drew the attention
of the TSA screener, who patted
him down and dusted him with
explosive-detecting powder be-
fore releasing him. W

Police in Lorain, Ohio, were looking in June for a black man about 18
years old who had been seen on surveillance video breaking into the
same Sunoco convenience store several times recently and taking up to
$600 worth of Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.

tech talk
By Nick Delorenzo
Special to the Weekender
S
amsungs Galaxy series
of Android tablets and
smartphones have, almost
without exception, been best in
class when released.
The Galaxy S3 is no exception.
Available in white or light
blue, the Galaxy S3 is packed to
the brim with next-generation
technology. For starters, the Gal-
axy S3 can recognize both your
voice and facial features, and you
can use this technology to unlock
the phone without pressing a
button.
Also practical is the S-Voice
feature, which, like Apples Siri,
can answer questions that are put
to it using normal sentences.
The Galaxy S3 has a beautiful
Super AMOLED 4.8 inch dis-
play, with spectacular 720x1280
resolution, and 306 ppi pixel
density.
It also features a dual-core
1.5GHz processor, backed up by
a solid 2 gigabytes of RAM. This
phone flies.
European versions have a
quad-core 1.4GHz processor, but
Id be hard-pressed to say the
U.S. model is handicapped. De-
spite having fewer cores, the
processor itself is faster and
likely consumes less power than
the European version.
An interesting feature of the
Galaxy S3 is that you can watch
videos in a small window while
browsing the Web or reading
e-mail. Initially, I was unsure
how useful this would be, but as I
used the device, it became clear
that on long trips or for refer-
ence, it was actually quite handy.
The camera is the standard
8-megapixel, but unlike many
devices, theres virtually zero
shutter lag. Theres also a for-
ward-facing camera for facial
recognition, as well as video and
conference calling via Skype and
other platforms.
The Galaxy S3 comes with
two levels of internal storage,
16GB and 32GB. There is an
external microSD card slot that
can accept cards up to 64GB in
size. Keeping that in mind, for
most people, the16GB version
will be sufficient because you
can just plug in a memory card if
youre low on space.
The S3 also features S Beam,
an app that combines both NFC
(near-field communications) and
Wi-Fi technologies to transfer
files, photos or videos from one
device to another with NFC
capabilities at speeds of up to
300Mbps.
The S3 features 4G data
technology, so surfing the
Web on Verizons 4G LTE
network is blazingly fast, and
the screen has enough real
estate that full-scale websites
are actually usable.
While other phones have
similar specs, none has the snap
or personality of the Galaxy S3.
The 16GB Samsung Galaxy S3
costs $199.99 with a two-year
contract and $599.99 without
(regardless of color), while 32GB
versions are $249.99 with a con-
tract and $649.99 without. W

y the time you
read this, the
Vintage Theater
in Scranton may
have a new address.
At press time, co-owners
Conor OBrien and Theresa
OConnor were still without
a denite home for their
combination all-ages concert
venue/art gallery/cafe/you-
name-it. Though the pair was
reluctant to make an ofcial
statement regarding their
hopeful new location, they did
reveal that they were close to
signing a lease, with plans to
do so on Wednesday, Aug. 15.
OConnor added that their
plan is to stay in downtown
The Vintage Theater:
A community-minded venture
Scranton, within the First
Friday footprint.
We want to be somewhere
thats in walking distance of
our former space so that our
regular customers wouldnt
have to go too far out of their
way from what they were used
to, she said.
The travel may be a short
one, but its not without
challenges. Hoping to make
the move a little more painless,
OBrien and OConner have
taken to crowdsource-funding
website Indiegogo.com. The
deadline for donations is
Saturday, Aug. 18.
We have the funds to get
started, at least, OConner
said. Were just hoping
Indiegogo can help us with
the renovations and our sound
equipment and maybe building
a little nest just so were not
crossing our ngers in October
when the next months rent
comes.
LOOKING
BACK
W
hen the Vintage
closed its doors
at 199 Penn Ave.
in June, it came as a shock to
many. Since September 2009,
that address had been the
Vintages home. It now houses
a print shop.
The building owners were
just looking to do something

different, so we had to nd
somewhere else to go,
OConnor said. We had 15
days to move. It was a bit of a
surprise to us, but weve tried
to keep the ball rolling.
This isnt the rst time
the Vintage has had to
change location. Originally
founded in January 2009 as
a revival movie-house at 222
Wyoming Ave., the venue
quickly outgrew that spot as
it transformed into something
of a one-stop destination for
all things art related. Over
the years, the Vintage has
hosted plays, poetry readings,
concerts, discussions and
exhibits of all kinds.
We call that arts
integration, where youre
bringing art into other contexts
and also intermingling,
exchanging and interchanging
between the different
arts, Ted Michalowski,
a Marywood University
and Keystone College art
instructor said. Its always
good because artists need to
support each other as well
as befriend each other. From
that comes collaboration and
growth.
Michalowski, who
participated in Rhythm of the
Region II, one of the last art
events the Vintage held before
going on hiatus, believes
the venues open-armed
eclecticism makes it a valuable
contributor to the burgeoning
NEPAart scene.
On the other hand,
for people like Pamela
McNichols, even more
signicant may be the
Vintages all-ages inclusivity.
In March, McNichols and
her daughter Zoe held the rst-
ever Scranton StorySlam at the
venue. Originally conceived
as Zoes high-school senior
project, the mother-daughter
duo decided to continue
holding slams following the
success of their Vintage debut.
We need to create an
atmosphere for our young
people so they have something
to do, so that theyre not
just going to parties all the
time and so they can become
involved with a music scene
and with other different
kinds of art and culture, she
said. The local art scene
is awesome. Great theater.
Fantastic music. Thats where
a place like the
Vintage ts in,
for example, providing a place
for musicians to perform that
isnt a bar.
Dan Rosler knows what
thats like. The lead singer
and guitarist for AFire with
Friends credits the Vintage
with helping his band nd its
footing when the group was
still in its formative days.
When our previous practice
space was not working out,
Theresa and Conor offered to
let us practice there, Rosler
said. They gave us a place to
start, really. Alot of the rst
shows we ever played were
there. We had both of our CD
release shows there. I have a
lot of great memories at that
place.
MOVING
FORWARD
A
t press time, the
Vintages Indiegogo
page has raised
$2,221 of its $3,500 goal,
with an estimated $1,000
additionally raised through
fundraising events at the
Houdini Museum and the
bar Merts in Scranton. The
Steamtown Original Music
Showcase, set to take place the
rst weekend of September,
will also donate a portion of
its proceeds.
There have been people
coming out asking if they can
donate a portion of this or
that, OBrien said. Its a lot
of little things, but the support
has been overwhelming and
every dollar is helping.
Viewing their unexpected
move as a blessing in disguise,
OBrien and OConnor are
using it as an opportunity to
evolve. Not only
are they actively
seeking a larger
space for their new
home, the Vintage
owners are also
concocting ideas for
new offerings, as
well. Among such
offerings are plans
for new creative
workshops and
classes.
Just as our
history has proven,
the Vintage has a mind
of its own, OBrien
said. Its such a community-
minded venture that it really
depends on what direction
the community wants it to go
in. As long as that support
is there, were willing to do
anything and everything.
Regardless of what changes
the Vintages new location
and continued evolution bring,
however, OBrien remains
committed to the philosophy
with which he founded the
venue years ago.
The biggest problem in
the arts is the barrier that is
often created. While Im a
rm believer that the arts are
something to be honored,
treasured and respected, all
too often it becomes this
ostentatious institution with an
attitude that its only for the
elite. Thats so wrong. Art is
for everyone, regardless of age
and regardless of experience
level. Wherever there is a
void, that is what we want to
ll. Its something meant to
be open and inviting, a true
community. W

t might be cliche, but the
expression, It takes a
village to raise a child,
could relate to much more
than just a technique for
shaping a respectable member
of society. Sometimes team-
work is the only way to get
things done or to get some-
thing started, and a group of
local jazz enthusiasts are
using that idea to nudge
along the growth of local live
music in the genre.
Gina Svoboda, local musi-
cian Bill Washer and Gary
Edwards, co-owner and chef
at Fire and Ice on Toby Creek
in Trucksville, have all con-
spired to bring jazz to
the masses or at
least to the crowd on
Fire and Ices newly
opened patio.
The performances,
which are being held
Thursday nights
through August and
began at the start of
summer, feature not
only Washer but also
blues guitarist and
vocalist Stingray and
jazz guitarist and vo-
calist Spencer Reed.
Gina told me about
(Fire and Ice) And she
knew Gary, and we both kind
of approached him and asked
him if he had any thoughts
about having some music,
Washer explained.
And Edwards was very into
the idea.
I particularly have a pas-
sion for jazz music, he said.
We started doing it out on
the patio because the patios a
nice, comfortable spot for
people to come and enjoy
good food and listen to the
music. We have a nice setting
at Fire and Ice we built
the patio so that it kind of
sits into the hill, and its cov-
ered in trees, and its nice and
secluded and quiet back
there.
As a strong supporter of the
local jazz music scene and
having been involved with the
Scranton Jazz Festival, Svo-
boda was integral in helping
to choose the performers.
Being the chef, (Garys)
plate is literally full, so its
just something to kind of help
him out, she said. He trusts
my instincts.
Edwards noted that hes
hoping to carry on this tradi-
tion in the future.
We would like to continue
to grow next year and have
more special nights and con-
tinue to build on the crowd
that weve been having, he
said.
And all three agreed that
they hope this will help cre-
ate a broader stream of live
jazz in the area.
Jazz is the only true
American art form, Svoboda
said. It originated in the
states, it went from the states
to Europe, its the only art
form that has done that.
In Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia, there is such a wealth of
musicians that I dont think
people realize the caliber of
what these musicians are. I
had lived in Scranton, and it
seems like there is more jazz
music up in that area. With
moving here, Id like to bring
it here. I think theres a lot of
people who are truly into the
jazz music but just dont
know where to go to get it.

SCRANTON If this
past weekend was a test for
the Peach Music Festival to
judge if it could succeed in
becoming an annual event,
then choosing the Zac
Brown Band as one of the
headliners was probably the
smartest move organizers
could have made.
Held at Toyota Pavilion at
Montage Mountain and Sno
Cove and hosted by the All-
man Brothers Band, the in-
augural event featured two
stages, the Peach and Mush-
room, and gave music lovers
and hippies alike the chance
to spend the weekend camp-
ing on the mountain.
Friday evenings lineup
gave Zac Brown Band the
9:30 p.m. slot preceding
the Allman Brothers Bands
late set. Performing to a sea
of tie-dye and patchwork
skirts, Zac Brown Band
opened with the crowd-
pumping Keep Me In
Mind before declaring, Its
an honor to be here playing
for you tonight and an hon-
or to get to open up for the
Allman Brothers.
The rest of the bands set
included surefire hits like
Free, Toes and, appropri-
ately, a cover of The Devil
Went Down to Georgia by
the Charlie Daniels Band
along with covers of Stevie
Wonders Isnt She Lovely
and John Mayers Neon.
The band was able to spur
the massive audience to the
point of absolute delirium; it
was hard not to find a per-
son dancing, drinking, fu-
riously singing along or
some combination of those.
And if ever there were any
doubts about Zac Brown
Bands musical abilities, they
were laid to rest thanks to a
slew of mind-blowing solos
and jam sessions. This solid-
ified the bands credibility
and made it clear why the
Allman Brothers Band
deemed it worthy of its fes-
tival.
Frontman Zac Brown and
his band ended their two-
hour set with America the
Beautiful and the smash hit
Chicken Fried.
Earlier in the evening,
Southern rockers Blackberry
Smoke blew away the crowd
with gritty guitars, phenom-
enal vocals and a set full of
toe-tapping, soul-shaking
rock. And the Warren
Haynes Band supplied listen-
ers with a steady flow of
funk, blues and rock.
Up at the Mushroom stage
(situated in Sno Cove),
campers and concertgoers
were treated to poolside
music that kept them danc-
ing well into the night, in-
cluding some funk by Ivan
Nevilles Dumpstaphunk.
And throughout the trek
between stages, there were a
number of aptly chosen ven-
dors selling everything from
maxi skirts to bumper stick-
ers and jewelry.
Local band Cabinet kicked
off the weekend with a rous-
ing set on Friday afternoon,
ending with the boisterous
Elizabeth and getting the
crowd amped for what was
still to come. W

Music Festival at Montage Mountain.
SCRANTONMusic was the
king of Montage Mountain at the
second day of the Peach Music
Festival, fromthe MushroomStage
inside Sno Cove to the Peach Stage
under the main pavilion.
Kicking off with a set fromlocal
band Miz, the day progressed from
the rock of JD&The Straight Shot
on the Peach Stage to the funky,
Spanish/gypsy-infused sounds of
Toubab Krewe amid the water-
slides.
One of festival host Allman
Brothers Bands two drummers,
Jaimoe Johanson, played an early
gig on Mushroomwith his Jaimoes
Jasssz Band, which blended blues
and jazz perfectly; singer Junior
Mack added a heavy dose of soul.
Sets by Railroad Earth and
O.A.R. were well-received, but the
days main attractions were Peach
Stage acts Tedeschi Trucks Band,
featuring ABBs guitarist Derek
Trucks and bassist Oteil Burbridge,
which preceded the ABB.
The11-piece TTB, led by
Trucks wife, Susan Tedeschi, was
amazing. Fromthe powerful
Dont Let Me Slide to the slow-
burning Midnight In Harlem, the
ensemble kept the crowd en-
thralled, thanks to the powerful
musicality of the band to Tedeschis
raspy, heartfelt voice thats akin to
Bonnie Raitt. The bluesy Bound
For Glory, which started with a
singeing Trucks solo, was a set
highlight that went off on a mini
tangent and ended on a raucous
note. The band closed its 90-minute
set with a fantastic rendition of I
Want to Take You Higher.
ABBstarted with a cover of The
Spencer Davis Groups Dont
Want You No More followed by
Its Not My Cross to Bear. All-
mans voice is weathered by age
and health, but those only make
himsound that much truer to the
bluesy roots of the band.
Come and Go Blues showed
off great rhythmbetween Bur-
bridge, Johanson, drummer Butch
Trucks and percussionist Marc
Quinones. Revival was festive
while Allman and guitarist Warren
Haynes did a haunting acoustic
version of Jackson Brownes Ive
Been Out Walking (These Days).
Mountain Jam preceded an
expansive Blue Sky. Van Morri-
sons Into the Mystic was an
unexpected standout. Dreams
segued back into Mountain Jam
to close the set proper.
ABBencored with a defiantly
heavy15-minute long Whipping
Post, which whipped, no pun
intended, the crowd into a frenzy.
People came fromall over to
attend the inaugural Peach Music
Festival as fans, campers and may-
be both. Perhaps they listened to
weekends 25 bands as they waded
in the wave pool, perched on the
grass, visited dozens of vendors
and enjoyed what the mountains
nature had to offer. But one thing
was evident, as the Allman Broth-
ers Band stated so eloquently in
Revival, love is everywhere.
And the people did feel it. W
Gregg Allman of the Allman Brothers Band on the Peach Stage Saturday night at the
Peach Music Festival.

The Gaslight Anthem rose to
national prominence fairly quick-
ly, but the band always had trou-
ble shaking comparisons to myr-
iad of artists who have played a
part in creating its Punk-meets-
Americana style.
The New Jersey quartet recent-
ly released Handwritten, its
fourth studio album, which man-
ages to walk the fine line between
emotion and energy rather well.
However, the more important
aspect of what the album does is
to pay homage to the bands influ-
ences without sounding too much
like any of them.
Opening track 45 sets the
tone for whats to follow, opening
slowly but then quickly gaining
momentum, making the listener
feel as though he or she is in a car
pulling out onto the highway.
From there, the band dances back
and forth between high-tempo
anthems (Howl and Desire),
raw rockers (Keepsake or Too
Much Blood) and emotive bal-
lads (Mulholland Drive or
Here Comes My Man).
While at first glance that might
seem like a bit of a roller coaster,
The Gaslight Anthem manages to
keep it all together well. The band
certainly isnt afraid to explore
different feelings, what it doesnt
do is dwell on them for too long,
dragging the mood of the album
too far one way or another.
The album closes softly and
sweetly with National Anthem,
an acoustic number that has a
timeless, personal feel to it. (The
11 album tracks are supplemented
on some editions by three bonus
tracks, including a stellar cover of
Nirvanas Sliver). After hearing
the full album, the evolution in
the bands sound is certainly
important, but the real standout is
the honesty with which The Gas-
light Anthem creates its music.
Handwritten is an energetic,
moving and well-composed piece
that is the perfect cure for the
blues that seem to go hand-in-
hand with the impending end of
summer. One can listen to this
album again and again without
getting tired, and it still manages
to sound fresh and new each
time.

Play Hard, from Chicago-based
electro trio Krewella, has the poten-
tial to make even the shyest of peo-
ple want to migrate to the dance
floor. The debut EP has a whim-
sical vibe that instantly conjures up
images of steamy rooftop bars and
city skylines.
One thing that is definitely nota-
ble about Krewella is the fluidity of
its music. The trio takes you from
progressive house to dubstep with
such a seamless transition that it is
hard to tell where one track stops
and another begins.
This flawless melding of sounds
is perhaps the result of sisters Ja-
han and Yasmine Yousaf combining
creative forces. Kris Rain Man
Trindl rounds out the trio.
Krewellas music is vocally driven
electronica at its best. Both Yousafs
lend their voices to this release.
The albums self-titled track Play
Hard has an aggressive vibe to it
and seems to send a message to
listeners that Krewella can hang
with the most powerful of them.
The dubstep inspired Killin It
shows the trios versatility. The fast-
paced and intricate music, combined
with quick-witted vocals, make the
track a musical inspiration. Alive
is made up of the kind of airy
dance music that makes you want
to put your hands in the air and
spin.
Overall, Krewellas passion for its
music is evident on Play Hard.
The album is well-thought out from
start to finish and is a clear repre-
sentation of this bands versatility.

Krewella's
versatile ` Play'
The Drowning Men tread on the dark
side more than the sunny vibe of its
SoCal stomping grounds and cites Nick
Cave as a major influence. But instead
of hearing its version of Caves murky
intensity on All of the Unknown, the
record is more in the vein of the airy
pop/indie rock of My Morning Jacket.
That is nowhere more evident than on
The Waltz, a sludgy track where vo-
calist Nato Bardeen sounds eerily like
MMJs Jim James, the poppy and fuzzy
Smile and the lively Fix Me Love.
First single Lost in a Lullaby starts
the album off on an upbeat note while
Bored in a Belly lopes along with a
circus-y vibe. A Fools Campaign goes
the bluegrass route with an almost joy-
ous tone before a piano kicks in to add
depth.
I Am the Beggar Man, the first of
three tracks that call upon some trippy,
otherworldly electronics, is a somber
standout that has Bardeen declaring he
was born with a bastards heart/ Born
with the serpents tongue. The instru-
mental Life in the Willow Tree fol-
lows, while Questioning (A Big Ole
Sham) sounds too similar to the other
two to truly stand alone.
Piano is showcased on the earnest and
deliberate A Long, Long Walk and
closing track A Better Place. The
latters is vaudevillian and hearty, with
some shadows coming through thanks to
lyrics like, Here lies a shell and a bro-
ken old soul chained to each other.
All of the Unknown is, without a
doubt, a good album by good musicians
but The Drowning Men need to find
a sound that is all its own to stand out
in its own right.

movie review
W
hat bogged down the
three previous enjoyable
Bourne movies was
when the conspiratorial mach-
inations took over. In The Bourne
Legacy, the series reboot/reshuf-
fling/latest installment, director/
co-writer Tony Gilroy addresses
this problemby having the covert
actions run amok, which turns a
potentially fun outing into in-
formation overload.
Jason Bourne, the super-spy
made famous by Matt Damon, is
mentioned but does not appear
here. Instead, we followAaron
Cross (Jeremy Renner, officially
the junior version of LiamNee-
son), who has gone off the grid.
His timing is exquisite. Asoon-to-
be-published expose has forced
the government to close the pro-
gramthat dispatches anonymous
killing machines like Cross world-
wide to help the U.S. military on
difficult missions.
Most layoffs feature awkward
conversations with human re-
sources and cardboard boxes.
Here, anyone with a connection
journalists, scientists, even agents
gets killed. Aside fromCross
and Bourne (whos apparently in
Manhattan), one survivor remains:
Dr. Marta Shearing (Rachel
Weisz), who administered the
drugs that maintained this fleet of
super soldiers. Cross somehow
tracks Shearing down because he
needs meds to maintain his per-
formance levels, and she is his
only hope. So they take off for
Manila, where the drugs are.
Cross and Shearings pairing is
when Gilroy finally gets the lead
out, and not because the two best
action sequences happen after-
ward. Up to that point, were sad-
dled with details so we can almost
understand all the newwrinkles
and offered an interchangeable
collection of dour men (Edward
Norton, Stacy Keach, Scott Glenn)
in nice suits making somber
speeches. The information and
theres a ton to process is pre-
sented with no twists or turns, no
moment when we realize that
were onto something bigger.
Basically, merciless corporate
executives conduct a high-stakes
round of layoffs. Were rooting
against a complex, not a villain.
That does not translate into a fun
night out.
Gilroy wrote the first three
Bourne movies along with
writing and directing the twisty
gems Michael Clayton and
Duplicity. That makes The
Bourne Legacys ponderous pace
astounding. Whats even more
jarring, though, is howfrequently
logic takes a holiday. It is unlikely
that the masterminds behind a
covert programwould noisily
leave a pile of bodies to pique the
curiosity of journalists. (Spoilers
ahoy) Shearing would never waltz
into a work-related building,
complete with security, after shes
presumed dead. And since Shear-
ing and Cross high-tech pursuers
apparently have access to every
security camera and weather satel-
lite, howcan they not find Cross
using a laptop at a chain hotel that
presumably has a security system?
The biggest fault with The
Bourne Legacy is that its not a
lot of fun. Gilroy keeps a genet-
ically modified killing machine
under wraps for vast stretches in
favor of showing us the sexy dan-
ger of surveillance technology and
briefings. Its admirable when
action movies aspire to be more
than explosions and snapped
necks. After all, thats the great
appeal of Christopher Nolans
Dark Knight trilogy. But a direc-
tor has done something wrong
when the movies defining charac-
teristic is its number of intense
conversations in important-look-
ing offices.

G
reat loss and great love are
what its all about. The
details of our day-to-day
lives are just that details. But
grieving a loved one or falling
headfirst in love with someone
new are two climactic and all-
consuming aspects of life that
just about everyone faces. In his
book The First Warm Evening
of the Year, Jamie Saul interlac-
es the two in a story of compell-
ing drama and introspective
exploration.
Geoffrey Tremont is happy
living his tidy life from a com-
fortable distance in New York
City steady job, uncluttered
apartment, noncommittal rela-
tionship with his girlfriend. But a
wrench gets thrown into his
routine when he receives notice
that hes been asked to be exec-
utor to the estate of a college
friend with whom he hasnt spo-
ken for years.
He agrees to taking care of
Lauras last wishes even though it
means traveling to the small town
of Shady Grove, and when he
arrives there, he finds himself
almost instantly enamored with
her best friend, a widow named
Marian.
From there, the story unravels
into a series of events that affect
everyone, far beyond Geoffrey,
who narrates. The question of
how our actions influence the
lives of those around us comes
up, as do the notions of settling
in life and love and the intensity
relying on another person can
bring.
The First Warm Evening of
the Year would be a little too
obvious, a little too Nicholas
Sparks, were it not for the strong
emotions Saul is able to instill in
the reader. When Marian speaks
of her late husband, her grief and
the grief of losing someone so
close is palpable. And when
Geoffrey and Marian speak of
their relationship, the feelings of
potentially unrequited love and
the intensity of budding romanc-
es are just as blatant.
Some of the characters might
come off as self-absorbed, con-
sumed by their feelings and un-
able or unwilling to worry about
anyone elses. However, in actual-
ity, most people do behave that
way when theyre grief-stricken
or in love, so that actually lends
more credibility to Sauls writing.
The book is full of dimension
and likeable characters, and
though there are moments where
its believability is called into
question, they are outnumbered
by the moments where emotion
grabs the reader.

ou can deny it all you
want, but fall is inevi-
tably on its way. For
many, it means going back to
school or getting a much-need-
ed break from the kids. But for
those whose school days are a
thing of the past, its never too
late to jump in and learn some-
thing new and crafty. A series
of craft workshops are being
presented at ArtWorks Studio
in downtown Scranton with the
first beginning Tuesday, Aug.
21.
ArtWorks has teamed up
with local eco-friendly, vintage
store GreenBeing to provide an
environmentally friendly way to
create projects from screen
printing to book binding. All
four workshops, which also
include letterpress and eco-
crochet, use recycled and re-
usable materials.
Cristin Powers of GreenBe-
ing and I were talking about
workshops and craft classes
previously held at GreenBeing,
and we thought it would bene-
fit a larger audience if we
could get together and offer a
fall series at ArtWorks, said
Nicole Sawicki of ArtWorks.
We have a great classroom
and lots of studio space at
ArtWorks. Cristin has a talent-
ed list of artists ready to offer
classes, classes that we have
yet to offer at ArtWorks.
The first workshop is screen
printing taught by Tomlynn
Biondo. The two-night class
will be Tuesdays, Aug. 21 and
28 from 6-8 p.m. and gives a
hands-on approach to the
screen-printing process. At-
tendees can create T-shirts,
sweatshirts, bags and more
with a logo or design they
burned onto a screen print,
which they can re-use again
and again at home.
The series continues on Sat-
urday, Sept. 1 with a workshop
on letterpress. Samantha Ur-
banick of Hand Deliver Press
in Clarks Summit will teach the
ins and outs of the letterpress.
Students will learn to lock type
or an image in the press, ink it,
and then print their own set of
cards, on recycled
paper, of course.
If youre in the mood
for a little something
old-fashioned, then the
book-binding work-
shop is right up your
alley. E-readers and
iPads may have re-
placed books in some
peoples homes, but
many will never cease
to appreciate a well-
crafted paperback. On
Saturday, Sept. 15, you
can learn to create a
long stitch bound book
out of recycled paper
and fabric with Saman-
tha Nardelli of Saman-
tha Nardelli Designs.
The series wraps up that
Saturday with the fourth work-
shop on eco-crocheting taught
by Annie Cadden of Fisher Cat
Fiber Co. Learn how to recycle
clothing or re-purpose other
materials around your own
home with this workshop. Stu-
dents will discover crochet
basics with simple patterns and
single and double stitch.
Whether you already are
crafty or are looking to become
so, ArtWorks and GreenBeing
are giving you a way to do so
in a low cost, environmentally
friendly way. So grab a friend
and get busy by going green.
These are great workshops
for new artists and skilled art-
ists wishing to learn a new
media. They are also fun for
those interested in experiencing
the arts, said Sawicki. Each
of these workshops is one or
two days, so there is not a huge
commitment, but at the same
time, participants will leave
with the knowledge to continue
to practice and hone their skills
from home or studio. W

ralphie report
the
By Ralphie Aversa
Special to the Weekender
S
hes made headlines for
having octuplets, star-
ring in her own pornog-
raphy film and dancing top-
less to erase debt. But now
Nadya Octomom Suleman
is preparing for yet another
career sure to garner peoples
attention: Recording artist.
I used to sing lullabies to
my kids for years and years,
Suleman told me of her limit-
ed musical experience. They
didnt run away screaming!
The mother of 14 also
played flute as a kid for
seven or eight years. But
now Suleman finds herself in
Los Angeles recording a new
up-tempo single with Adam
Barta, who has placed sin-
gles on the Billboard Dance
Charts. Barta recorded the
first part at AudioMaxx Stu-
dios in New Jersey and flew
out to L.A. to work with
Suleman on the last part of
the song which is due in a
couple weeks. The timing is
good for Suleman, as she has
taken herself off of welfare
and out of debt with both her
pornography video and adult
dancing career in Florida.
I feel a lot better, she
confessed. Im in a much
better place emotionally and
financially, and I see a light
at the end of the tunnel. I
really see a bright light.
Despite her public profile,
Suleman says shes always
nervous. Barta worked with
her in studio to break down
any fears she might have
about recording. In the proc-
ess, Barta
says he was
impressed
with Sule-
mans appre-
ciation of
music, specif-
ically hip-hop.
I love all
music, the
mother said.
My all time
favorite is
Tupac. He
was an amaz-
ing talent.
Octomom
went on to
call herself a
big fan of
Eminem, Ri-
hanna, and
Jay-Z. It doesnt get much
more cray than that.
RICK ROSS NAME
CHECKS PSU SCANDAL
Rick Ross new album is
called God Forgives, I
Dont. The victims of the
Penn State child abuse scan-
dal might not be forgiving
Ross anytime soon, either.
On his highly anticipated new
LP, Ross raps the following
line on track five, Maybach
Music IV:
N---as get abused like
boys at Penn State. Greatest
that ever did it, decided my
own fate.
The Miami rapper is re-
ferring to the child abuse
scandal around former PSU
defensive coordinator Jerry
Sandusky. The disgraced
coach was found guilty on 45
counts of the 48 sexual
crimes brought against him.
In a recent interview with
Philadelphia hip-hop station
Power 99, Ross advocated for
the removal of the Joe Pa-
terno statue and the former
Penn State football legacy.
Yet despite Rozays stance, he
decided to reference the
scandal as if it was a movie
or fictional tale. There has
been no response, yet, from
the college, the victims or
Ross regarding the track. W

I SCREAMFOR
SPRINKLES&SHAKES
W
hen Barton Weidlich
first made his foray into
the ice-creambusiness,
he had no experience whatsoever.
The day before I opened up, I
didnt knowhowto swirl a cone,
didnt knowhowto make a sun-
dae, didnt knowhowto make a
milkshake and here I am,
Weidlich told Dish last week
inside the newlocation of his
Sprinkles &Shakes Ice Cream
&Grill (1306 N. River Road,
Plains Twp.) I started with a little
place in Pittston. It was 60 feet
wide, I had a nice neighbor who
let me put some outside tables on
his property, a takeout window
and started fromthere. And nowI
expanded to this business six
years later.
Its an expansion thats com-
plete with a newly built large front
deck, a soon-to-be-opened drive-
through, food and plans for the
fall and winter to make this Sprin-
kles &Shakes a year-round stop,
unlike the Pittston location. Plus,
hell still serve its namesake
items.
I think Ill do my own hard ice
creamfor the winter, Weidlich
mused of his business that, right
now, features soft serve.
When the drive-through opens,
Weidlich will offer coffee, his
own homemade pastries and
doughnuts, breakfast sandwiches
and items like fresh-ground burg-
ers, fresh-cut fries, hot dogs,
sandwiches and, eventually, Old
Forge-style pizza.
But back to that ice cream.
Sprinkles &Shakes menu is vast,
with many different flavor combi-
nations, cones, homemade cup-
cakes filled with ice cream, shak-
es, splits, blizzardz we add a
z so we dont get sued, Weidlich
explained to Italian ices, funky
sundaes named after or by friends,
family and patrons and a wide
array of goodies featuring his
most popular ingredient: Home-
made family-recipe cheesecake.
The cheesecake items are the
best, he said.
Customers have said the ice
creams not bad either.
Its delicious. Imnot pinching
my own ass, but hundreds and
hundreds of people have told me
that its the best ice creamthey
ever had. I dont say that because I
let the other people say it, and they
come back and tell me.
Weidlich also makes ice-cream
cakes, with homemade butter-
creamicing, homemade cannoli
shells filled with ice creamand
the 20 Minute No-Melt Float.
The ice creamis so rich, and it
was an 80-85 degree day, and I
made the float, timed it to see how
long it took the ice creamto melt.
It took 20 minutes, and theres the
name, he shared, smiling.
When I visited Sprinkles &
Shakes, Weidlich made me the
Kaffee Klatsh sundae, which is
cheesecake topped with espresso
ice cream, caramel and hot fudge.
And he really wasnt pinching his
own ass: It is pretty damn deli-
cious.
Sprinkles &Shakes is open
seven days a week fromnoon-10
p.m. On Tuesdays and Thursdays
from4-6 p.m., there is a kids
happy hour where kids can go in
and create their own sundaes and
ice-creamcones.

POSITIVELYPOSH
Last Wednesday, I attended the
Pride Week kickoff celebration at
Posh @The Scranton Club (404
N. Washington Ave., Scranton).
While the company of friends old
and newwas lovely, of course, my
dinner following the cocktail
reception was sensational.
The spice-seared tuna Nicoise
salad was served over mixed
greens with marinated newpota-
toes, roasted peppers, grape toma-
toes, green beans and kalamata
olives with balsamic vinaigrette
and grilled flatbread (I omitted the
sliced eggs and onions the salad
usually includes).
The tuna was the best Ive had
of late, and the salad was plated
beautifully. If you get a chance to
go to Posh, go. Its wonderful
fromthe atmosphere and food to
the wonderful service. W
An ice-cream wedding
cake from Sprinkles &
Shakes.
Cupcakes are fresh out of
the oven and almost
ready to be filled with ice
cream.

Hope For David is a legally established organization created to benet the family of David Johnson of Mountain Top, PA; by raising money to aid in defraying the out of pocket medical expenses, after care and
related costs for the care of David as he faces an invasive procedure that is rarely performed on children.
David who is now just 12 years old was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at age 9. He now has atrophy of his pancreas due to the combination of 3 chromosomal mutations, cystic brosis, the likelihood that
he has pancreatic divisum, and 9 incidents of pancreatitis since 2009. A team of doctors from Johns Hopkins, Geisinger Janet Weis Hospital, and University of Minnesota have consulted regarding his rare
condition. It has been recommended that he undergo a Total Pancreatectomy and Islet Auto-Transplant (TP-IAT). It is extremely rare for this procedure to be performed on children. The procedure will be
performed on July 26, 2012.

The F Word
By Stephanie DeBalko
Weekender Staff Writer
I
t doesnt happen all the time,
but every now and then, I feel
like a store just gets me.
Im not talking about a chain
store like Express or Anthropol-
ogie (though I love them both
dearly). What Im referring to is
the little boutique thats bursting
with baubles, bags and blouses
that just speak to my style aes-
thetic. The beautiful thing about
it being the fact that somebody
curates the pieces in that store,
meaning somebody else out there
pretty much just gets you.
Maybe Im getting a little too
introspective here, but I tend to
gush when I find a place where
nearly everything catches my eye
especially a local one. And
most recently, that place has been
Buka in Shavertown.
Full of cozy maxi dresses,
luxuriously slouchy bags and
swoon-worthy jewelry, Buka just
screams casual, laid-back sexy
and cool. And this was my as-
sessment even before interview-
ing owner Joanna Gover via
e-mail last week.
I have always loved sort of a
laid-back and casual lifestyle of
travel, snowboarding and surfing,
combined with a little city in-
spiration, she shared. I have
found these particular interests
have led me to buy more casual,
comfortable and quality clothing
that you can wear everyday.
Buka, which has been open for
seven and a half years and was
named after a childhood nick-
name made up by Govers father,
carries brands like Ella Moss,
Citizens of Humanity and Paige
Denim.
We tend to carry quite a few
core denim, T-shirt and dress
lines that prove to consistently
sell and maintain a quality con-
struction and fit, Gover said.
We then add a few new lines
each season to try and freshen up
the lines.
Prices range from $20 to $300
depending on the item, but Gover
was quick to note that she offers
sales quite often, sometimes up
to 75 percent off or more.
We advertise all our sales on
our Facebook page as well as
through our e-mail list, she said.
We even have cocktail sales
outside the store offering a nice
ladies night out for wine and
cheese and huge sale prices on
last seasons merchandise.
Wine and shopping at once?
Count me in. But I dont need
booze as an incentive to visit
Buka again Govers infectious
enthusiasm for what she does is
enough, especially considering
that when she answered my ques-
tions via e-mail, it was while she
was in the hospital for the birth
of her son. Talk about commit-
ment. Plus, she seems to recog-
nize the nuances that come with
dressing a female body.
I truly love almost everything
I buy for the store, but every
body type and taste is different,
so we try to cater to a little bit of
everyones style, she shared.
And her credentials dont hurt
either. Gover spent time working
in a Cape May, N.J., boutique
every summer during college at
Susquehanna University. She
went on to receive an associates
degree in buying and merchan-
dising from Fashion Institute of
Technology in New York City
before moving to Florida to work
as a product manager at a screen
print and embroidery company.
She returned to Cape May for
some more hands-on experience
before coming back to Penn-
sylvania to give it a shot herself.
The thing I love about fashion
the most is that it is always
changing, she said. Even
though styles and designs are
repeated throughout the ages,
there is always something a little
more exciting and different each
time.
Whats on Govers radar for
this fall?
The skinny print pants, such
as snake print, and paisley, tweed
and textured jackets, she began.
Bright colors, such as mustard
and crimson, and lots of leather,
which always seems to be a clas-
sic for the right individual. Lots
of fun, funky prints and bold
colors all around! W

Life is a Drag
By Estella Sweet
Weekender Correspondent
M
ore than 1,500 people
gathered in Kirby Park in
Wilkes-Barre Sunday to
socialize and check out what
PrideFest had to offer. For the
100-plus volunteers, it marked
the end of almost a year of hard
work and planning. After all was
said and done, the NEPA Rain-
bow Alliance considered the fifth
year of its event a success. I think
from an outside perspective, the
event is assumed to be a day for
the gays to celebrate and have
a gay ole time. However, the
actual mission of PrideFest and
other events of its kind is to
promote acceptance and share
GLBT culture with the commu-
nity as a whole.
We couldnt have asked for
better weather, especially after
last years torrential downpour
most of the day. The sun was
shining and, for the first time in
five years, the humidity wasnt
even an issue. I think anyone who
wears makeup on a regular basis
can relate, humidity is not your
friend. It did rain as usual, but
only for about five minutes, and
then the sun returned for the
remainder of the festivities.
There was a wide variety of
food and merchandise vendors,
as well as a schedule chockfull of
live entertainment. My team,
Sweet Emanski Entertainment,
and I were there with metaphor-
ical bells on to do what we do
best: Entertain. Of course, there
were drag performances and
local DJs, but my favorite part
was the live music. Local per-
formance artists Betty Harlot and
Katie Kelly were the first to take
the stage followed by my dear
friend Sherry Marchefsky. If you
didnt get a chance to check her
out, you can find her performing
at various locations locally or at
sherrythesongwriter.com. She
truly is an amazing singer and
songwriter.
The headliner who appeared
courtesy of Twist Night Club was
dance-pop princess Kristy Kay
who not only performed for the
main event, but also headlined
the official PrideFest afterparty
later that night at Twist. Ive seen
Kristy a couple times in the past,
and she never ceases to amaze
me. Her voice combined with her
real-life Barbie appearance
makes for one fierce force to be
reckoned with. Last but not least
was a newer cover band I have
fallen in love with, The Chatter.
Jane Train of M80 and I joined
them to kick off their set with a
live rendition of Lady Gagas
Born this Way, and it was abso-
lutely the highlight of my day. I
was honored to join them along-
side Jane, and I felt our perform-
ance really captured the true
meaning and feeling of PrideFest
a coming together as a com-
munity to celebrate diversity.
There was, of course, the occa-
sional protestor present spouting
off berry-picked scriptures. I
think its funny (or should I say
sad?) that they judge anyone
entering the park on Pride Day
not knowing whether they are
there for the event or just to
utilize the park. Regardless of the
occasional naysayer, I think we
had the majority of support on
our side. Mayor Tom Leighton
even stopped by to show his
support. PrideFest has continued
to progress and grow each year,
and we have many people to
thank for its success. I commend
John Dawe, Beth Hartman and
the entire board of directors of
the Rainbow Alliance for another
successful year, and Im very
grateful they have continued to
include me in their endeavors.
NEPA PrideFest definitely con-
tinues to raise the bar each year,
and I for one am looking forward
to seeing what fabulosity will be
in store next year. W

bitch & brag
By Jeff and Amanda of 98.5 KRZ
Special to the Weekender
Amandas Brag:
Ive been following a real-
ly cool website for a few
months now, and Ive been
dying to tell you about it.
When possible, I love
finding gifts that give back
and benefit a charitable or-
ganization. The thing is,
though, there are so many
charitable organizations to
choose from and so many
that its almost impossible to
be aware of them all.
Sevenly.org is an awesome
blend of beautifully designed
shirts that benefit a cause.
The idea behind the site is
that it partners with charities
and builds 52 charity T-shirt
campaigns a year, one per
week. For every T-shirt pur-
chased, Sevenly donates $7
to that weeks charity.
What an awesome way to
raise awareness for the
worlds greatest charities!
Last weeks charity, for ex-
ample, was Generosity Wa-
ter. What I love most about
Sevenly.org is that it breaks
down the cause for you and
tells you exactly how your
purchase can help someone.
Generosity Water aims to
help supply clean water
wells for hundreds of chil-
dren in Haiti. Drinking un-
clean water is the No. 1
cause of death on the planet,
killing 5,000 children each
day. For every $4,000 Gene-
rosity Water can raise, itll
fund a well that provides
safe water to 400 children
for 20 years. This means
that for every shirt sold,
youll be giving one child
clean drinking water for 20
years.
Past campaigns have been
designed to benefit charities
like Autism Speaks, Love
Without Boundaries (provid-
ing life-saving surgeries for
children), Pencils of Promise
(which builds schools),
CURE Childhood Cancer
and the Breast Cancer Foun-
dation.
So you buy a really well-
designed, stylish T-shirt, and
you donate money to a great
cause at the same time! Fol-
low Sevenly on Twitter
@Sevenly.
Jeffs Bitch:
Reality TV has never been
a depiction of real life at
all. Real people dont arrive
on a TV set for a few
weeks hoping to meet the
love of their life. Whether
it was Bret Michaels and his
awesome bandanas (hair at-
tached, of course), Flavor
Flav with women
dropping at his feet
to be with him or the
endless parade of
bachelors and bache-
lorettes, its always
been about trying to
grab a slice of fame
in front of a TV
nation.
Then came along
that oh-so-typical
family called the
Kardashians. We all
so relate to them.
And of course we all
go for bikini waxings
with our sisters.
Yeah, just a typical
family.
Its always about being so
over-the-top that people have
to watch because its fantasy
and entertaining. But now
so-called reality may have
hit a new low with the ar-
rival of Honey Boo Boo,
which somehow makes the
families on Green Acres
and The Beverly Hillbillies
seem sophisticated. But they
were fictional, which made
it seem OK.
But this Toddlers & Tia-
ras outcast Alana and her
family is just plain disturb-
ing. If being gross, ignorant
and classless wins awards,
well its Emmy time for the
Thompson family! Im sure
their 309-pound mama will
teach them the importance
of health! She tells her girls
the more they fart, the more
weight you lose! (If thats
the case, Mom hasnt broken
wind in decades). And I
hate to call a little girl
homely, but for the love,
they have this little Cab-
bage Patch Kid thinking
shes a 2-foot tall supermod-
el. And its plain sad when
the kids diction is so bad,
they need to insert sub titles
at the bottom of the screen!
I know people are going
to watch and then laugh
about it. And thats fine. It
really should be labeled a
comedy. But at what point is
this not considered child
abuse? Hope the simpleton
Thompson clan is making
tons of money. Honey Boo
Boo will need it for the
years of therapy lying ahead.

bad enough, Here Comes Honey

amily isnt just a blood
relation. Friendship isnt
just a connection based
on common interest. The
strong bonds we create in life
dont just span age and gender
differences they are some-
times cross-species. Whether
they have fur, feathers or
scales, our pets are more than
just pets. We name them, care
for them and hold that bit of
companionship close to our
heart. And even for those
waiting for their forever
homes, we do what we can to
help them survive.
Helping to remember our
non-human companions, and
send support to those who
need it, Marcs Tattooing &
Body Piercing will be contin-
uing an Art for Animals
campaign throughout the re-
mainder of August. Any ap-
pointment for a pet-related
tattoo scheduled before the end
of the month will have a por-
tion of the proceeds donated
to local animal organizations.
Whitney Albert, marketing
manager for Marcs, said that
the campaign, which was an
idea she and her mother brain-
stormed, was a new way for
the studio to do something for
a cause it has always support-
ed.
Weve always been involved
with local animal organiza-
tions, Albert said. I just
kinda wanted to put a new
twist on it and kind of do
something different. Do some-
thing that hasnt done before,
which is what we try to do
were a custom studio. Were
all animal lovers here, and for
us to do this, its rewarding.
Albert said that all four
locations of Marcs are partici-
pating in the campaign and
will not only be making dona-
tions from 10 percent of the
profit of each tattoo, but there
will be donations related to
piercings as well. Also, the
studio will be accepting dona-
tions of animal foods and
supplies. She said everything
collected will benefit the
Sweet Bark Pit Bull Rescue,
Valley Cat Rescue, Pinups for
Pitbulls and the SPCA of Lu-
zerne County.
Regardless of if youre
getting pierced or tattooed,
were always looking for dona-
tions, Albert added.
With the campaign already
up and running and appoint-
ments trickling into September,
Albert said the community has
been very supportive, likely
due to the increased awareness
of animal cruelty over the
years.
I think that people want to
help animals are helpless,
she said. Its an evolution of
people being more aware of
what really terrible people do
to animals. Weve gotten a
great response for the Art for
Animals campaign, and its
comforting to see. People are
excited about this, and they
want to be a part of it. Its a
good feeling and rewarding for
everyone.
Albert is glad people are
becoming involved and she
sees no reason why the studio
wouldnt do this again in the
future. She said that tattoos
and piercings are a great form
of self-expression and using a
loved pet as inspiration is
wonderful.
Our pets are our best
friends they dont talk
back, they rarely give you any
grief, she began. People love
to represent their pets. Our
pets become part of our fam-
ily. To get something of a pet
that you love endlessly is re-
warding to that person. Its a
nice and completely unique
way to represent your pet. W

Pet cause
just for the
health of it
By Tim Hlivia
Special to the Weekender
A
ll of my personal training
clients know that in order
to produce solid results,
you need to not only follow a
nutritional diet, but remain dedi-
cated to putting in gym time as
well. But not everyone has a
personal trainer to motivate them
and many of you may even be
new to the fitness scene. Making
healthy changes is beneficial in
so many ways, thats obvious, but
it can also be highly intimidating
for a beginner. The following is a
rough guide on how to organize
your training time. After six
weeks, youll feel like a new you.
Level I: Workouts should be
easy and performed at 50-60
percent of your max heart rate
which can be calculated by sub-
tracting your age from 220. Your
breathing should be elevated, but
you should be able to hold a
conversation.
Level II: Workouts should be
performed at 60-70 percent of
your max heart rate. This is mod-
erately easy. Your breathing will
be slightly more intense, but you
should still be able to talk.

performed at 70-80 percent of
your max heart rate. At this level,
it will be difficult to hold a con-
versation.
Level IV: Workouts should be
80-90 percent of your max heart
rate. This is a moderately hard
pace, but not all out. You should
be able to maintain this intensity
for 20 minutes.

AGENDA, FROM PAGE 54
sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
Weekender Correspondent
S
ince the tender age of 4, I
was pretty independent.
Thats when I started
counting down the years until I
was able to move as far away
from home as possible on my
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
calendar.
After graduating high school,
the next six years were a blur of
good times, bad decisions and a
feeling of freedom only Jaycee
Dugard could appreciate more.
Then, the day I never saw com-
ing happened: I had to move
back home. In an economy as
unstable as a Teen Mom stars
period, I found out that Im not
the only one left biting their
tongue by moving back with the
rents.
Whether its because of losing
financial aid, being unable to
find a job, getting divorced or
being a drug addict, I believe
everyone who has to move back
home should stick together. As
someone who has been back for
a year and a half, I came up with
some helpful tips of how to live
with your parents:
5. Never call your mother
out on having a
hot flash. It
doesnt matter if
everyone else in
the room is un-
derneath a blan-
ket, and shes so
wet with sweat it
looks like she just
competed in a wet
T-shirt contest on
spring break in
Miami call her
out and Im warn-
ing you, the
Menopause Mon-
ster will unleash.
4. Lock your
bedroom door.
The last thing you
need is your Mom
barging in your
room at 7:30 a.m.
to tell you Katie
Holmes and Tom Cruise are
getting divorced.
3. Clean up after yourself!
When you shave your lower
region and you live in a frat
house, theres always someone
else to blame not cleaning up.
When you live with your parents,
though, they know its you.
2. Support their ideas. Once
they reach a certain point in their
50s, they start buying food they
dont eat in bulk because its on
sale and thinking of off-the-wall
plans for when they retire. Never
give them your honest opinion
just support their crazy idea
because, at some point, theyve
done the same for you.
1. Enjoy your time with
them. It may be difficult, but try
your best because after all, you
wont be living with them for the
rest of your life fingers cross-
ed. W

ABCs new sitcom How To Live
With Your Parents (for The Rest

Living with
your parents.
Forever.

Your Parents (for The Rest of Your
Life), is something Justin can relate

get your game on
By Robbie Vanderveken
Special to the Weekender
F
irst you get the money,
then you get the power,
then you get the women. It
could be said that is what Super
Mario Bros. is about. In most
Super Mario games, Mario
travels through the Mushroom
Kingdom collecting coins and
various power-ups to save Prin-
cess Peach from Bowser. Howev-
er, in New Super Mario Bros. 2
for Nintendo 3DS, its all about
the money. The Mushroom King-
dom is bursting with more gold
coins than ever, and Mario wants
them all.
New Super Mario Bros. 2
marks the return of the Koopal-
ings. They havent been seen
since Super Mario Bros. 3 on
NES. This time, the Koopalings
show up and kidnap the princess,
and now its up to Mario to travel
through the 80-plus levels to get
her back. Just like in Mario 3,
the Koopalings are the end boss-
es of each of the themed levels. If
you have ever played a Mario
game, this game doesnt feel very
new; the twist in this edition is
everything is about coins. There
are a couple new power-ups,
which revolve around this new
coin fixation. There is a gold
block that Mario wears on his
head and when he jumps, coins
come out. There is a gold ring
that turns all enemies gold, and
when you stomp them they ex-
plode into a fountain of coins.
Lastly, there is a gold fire flower
that turns Mario gold allowing
him to turn enemies and bricks
into gold coins.
In the corner of the screen,
there is a counter that keeps a
running total of your coin collec-
tion. The counter tracks the total
number of coins you collect in
every mode, and your running
totals will be shared online via
StreetPass so you can compete
with your friends online. At E3,
Nintendo created an incentive to
collecting coins by stating that
something will happen when you
reach a million coins, but it re-
mains to be seen what that is.
The game looks amazing, the
graphics are beautiful and have
great textures and that make each
environment pop
off the screen.
The thing that is
odd, however, the
3-D effect is very
minimal; with the
game being on the
3DS, Nintendo
could have played
it up but chose
not to. Having the
3-D turned up
actually makes
the game look
worse, it causes
the background to
go out of focus, and it ruins all of
the nice background textures and
beautiful artwork. It almost feels
as if Nintendo didnt care about
the 3-D at all in this entry.
When it comes to difficulty,
this game is not nearly as tough
as the previous games that
isnt a bad thing for newcomers,
but it means that a veteran can
fly through the game with ease.
Its still enjoyable, though, be-
cause of the great level design
and fun things to explore like
mid-level castles, ghost houses
and hidden exits. If you do get
stuck on a particularly hard part,
you get a white TanookiSuit that
makes you invincible and lets
you fly through the level.
The game offers co-op play,
but it is not that great because of
the small size of the screen; it has
a hard time keeping both players
in focus and doesnt let you ex-
plore on your own. The new
multiplayer coin-rush mode
challenges you and a friend to
compete to see who can get the
most coins without dying on
three random levels.
Even though this game doesnt
offer a ton of new innovations,
its impossible not to fall in love
with the perfection of New
Super Mario Bros. 2s mechan-
ics and level design. If you are a
Mario fan, then you should defi-
nitely save up some coins and
pick up this game. W

Still same old fun Mario
In New Super Mario Bros. 2 on Nintendo 3DS,
everyones favorite plumber is on the hunt for more
coins than ever.
Move over, Dear Abby.
Theres a new game in town:
Life is a Drag
by Estella Sweet
Need advice? Who doesnt? Want it from someone whos
actually got an open mind and lives in the 21st century? Who
do you turn to with issues that you just cant open up to
anyone in your life with? Who do you ask advice from when
you feel like everyone you know will judge you? Well let Abby
continue to handle silverware placement and introduce
someone who can handle the rest.
Meet Miss Estella Sweet, a drag queen with style, heart and
soul. Where else can you get a feminine and masculine point
of view in one erce package? Get advice from someone who
has been there, done that and lived to tell about it. Estella has
done one better: Shes walked through the re, been burned to
a crisp and risen from the ashes like the mythical phoenix.
If youve got questions, shes got answers. Ask her the
questions too complex, complicated, carnal, gender-bending,
mind-bending or simply too much for Abby. No worries, no
judgments just insightful, open-minded advice. So forget
dont ask, dont tell. DO ASK, AND DO TELL.
Write Stella at Weekender@theweekender.com with
Stellas Life is a Drag in the subject. Find more
of Stella all week long at Twist Night Club or at

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
Most Leos have little to fear from the
world outside. A nearly indomitable will
and impressive self-confidence such as
you usually possess represents a formid-
able defense to whatever troubles life
might throw your way. Actually, the only
real danger to your shining power comes
from within. You might trick or delude
yourself into thinking youre weak or
vulnerable in ways that you neednt be.
This week, if you find yourself experi-
encing pain, fear or desire, dont blame the
supposed cause of your feeling. The
only person who can make you feel
anything is you. So blame yourself. Or
better yet, help yourself.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
Pretend youll be going on a trip with a
tall, dark stranger. Pack a suitcase full of
money instead of clothes and dont ask
where youre going. Sounds romantic,
doesnt it? Or creepy, depending on your
point of view. In fact, you probably wont
be receiving offers to go on exotic adven-
ture vacations with handsome, enigmatic
strangers unless youre very, very lucky.
But if you do, have the courage to see it as
romantic instead of sinister. You have the
power to make it (and anything else thats
happening in your life right now) fit your
perceptions perfectly. Why not, then, see it
as a good thing?
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Car alarms are useless annoyances.
Heres how to steal a car equipped with an
alarm: Act embarrassed but unfazed.
Shrug helplessly. Appeal to your audience
for sympathy as you drive off shaking
your head at the blasted thing. Need to
kidnap someone? In front of a crowd? No
problem. Ham it up. Let everybody but
your victim in on the joke. People will
actually help you, when properly encour-
aged with winks and smiles. Im not rec-
ommending that you actually steal vehi-
cles or abduct enemies. These are just
minor examples of what youre capable of
this week, just by acting capable. Id keep
it legal, though your smile is unlikely
to do as well in court as it did at the kid-
napping.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Last night, I dreamt I gave birth to a
water-loving, talking yellow housecat who
could metamorphose into a lovable midget
girl called Cathy. She wasnt exactly what
I expected my future child would be, but
just the same I provided her with a wading
pool to play in and a stretchy spandex
outfit that would accommodate both her
forms. She seemed pretty happy. The
things we bring into this world, be they
children, relationships or works of art,
rarely (if ever) turn out how we expect.
The trick is to love and value them any-
way.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Sagittarians dont have enemies; instead
they contend with rivals, competitors and
critics. This week, youll probably have to
deal with several examples of each. In-
deed, theyll seem to be lined up as neatly
and methodically as bowling pins. They
wont present much of a challenge, luckily.
Its almost as if they appeared merely to
demonstrate your current level of might:
Both the personal power you now wield
and the strength of your allies. Not only do
you possess a fierce, fast bowling ball
more than capable of tumbling your antag-
onists into disarray, all your friends have
balls of their own and they know how
to use them.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
I apologize if my horoscope seems a
little low-key. See, Im operating under an
enormously heavy burden of guilt this
week. One of my best Cap friends got sick
while she was visiting me because she was
having too much fun. How can I live with
myself? I only can by taking this time to
remind you: No one has power over you.
Im proud of the way youve fully realized
this truth when it comes to the people
bearing negativity, limitation and pain into
your life. But you could still work on your
boundaries regarding those bringing light
and fun. There is such a thing as too
much. Dont go blind admiring the sun.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Someone dared me, does not hold up
in court as a valid reason for anything.
You get busted so rarely that youve for-
gotten how shitty it feels. Temper your
evilest urges this week. That badass read-
iness youve got going on is sexy. But its
dangerous, too. Im not advising you to
chill out completely I know how taking
chances gets your blood flowing. Just
choose your risks wisely. Keep your stunts
within the realm of the merely eccentric
instead of the outrageously illegal so if
youre asked to answer for your actions
they can credibly fall into the categories of
thoughtless, youthful pranks or slightly
offbeat practices of your new religion.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
Like all of us, youve got a lot of differ-
ent mental trips going on. Some are short,
quick and mildly disorienting, like air-
plane travel. Others are comfortable, ec-
centric and companionable, like cross-
country train journeys. A few are more
private, like road trips with your best
friends. And some (one in particular) are
like deep, slow journeys underground.
Since most of your day-to-day thoughts
have been pretty sunny and easygoing
recently, you might not have noticed the
glimmer thats appeared in the tunnel of
one of your darkest and longest journeys.
Go ahead and get your hopes up that
particular adventure is almost over.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
Pin me down and kiss me for hours.
Its a request you rarely receive (although
your sign gets it more than most) but this
week you might hear it a couple times
from more than one person. Yup, your
compelling charisma has cast a wider net
than you intended, and youve snagged
more than one tasty fish. Are you up for
this? Is your bedroom tank big enough for
two more? Can you give each one the love
and attention s/he deserves? Only you can
decide if youll try to keep both of them or
let one of them swim free right away.
Before you make up your mind, consider
this: Each fish, if properly treated, can
grant you exactly one and a half wishes.
You do the math.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
To goad myself into writing, I some-
times give myself an odious ultimatum.
Today, its: Write or thoroughly clean the
filthy, filthy kitchen. Being by nature
laid-back (read: lazy), this is often very
effective at stirring up my inner muse. Its
still a close call, though. Writing is hard
work, despite its apparent simplicity, and
the rewards are sometimes more nebulous
or obscure than having a spotless kitchen
might be. The task you have ahead of you
is probably less straightforward than youd
like; nevertheless it still must get done.
Get cracking! Start your work or go scrub
toilets.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
Somehow, you manage to look appeal-
ing and glamorous even when mopping up
a disastrously overflowing toilet. Ive seen
you successfully flirt while scooping kitty
litter, showing off your dishpan hands or
bathing the dog. But just because youre
capable of making such a good impression
even in these most unappealing situations
doesnt mean you have to do all your own
dirty work. In fact, if you cant avoid dirty
work completely this week, delegate. Your
appointee might even do a better job. Most
importantly, it will free you to finally do
the vital (and sparklingly clean) task you
assigned yourself months ago.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
Your intellect is engaged in a to-the-
death arm-wrestling match with your
fantasies, while your gentler (but no less
competitive, apparently) emotions are
playing a high-stakes game of boulder-
paycheck-scalpel with your sweetest
dreams. For a creature so oriented to your
misty inner world, it must be jarring to
bring your fantastic cloud kingdom here to
Earth. Nevertheless, down it comes. So
your vast hopes dont have to squeeze
inside a studio apartment, better start
making the phone calls, wielding the
credit cards and doing all the fancy foot-
work necessary to make them a solid,
life-size reality. W
