Anything that involves men getting perms.
and I wrote this week are important because, too often, we overlook the things that are right in front of our face. I had been a block away from Sartorio and Sons countless times over the course of my career in Wilkes-Barre and never knew it was there. Its very easy to miss the obvious, be it a 56-year-old barber shop or the answer to a problem in your regular life. When the right people notice them, theyre rewarding revelations that you always wish you saw sooner. You may understand what I mean more when you pick up next weeks Weekender. Thanks for reading.

Brian Langan, a North Scranton native, performs with Sweatheart at Terminal 5 in NYC as an opener for The Darkness. (Photo by Michel Dussack) I BELIEVE IN A THING CALLED LANGOR It was awesome. It ruled. Its not a surprise reaction from North Scranton native Brian Langan when hes asked about the Oct. 20 show he played with Sweatheart as one of two opening acts for The Darkness yes, the band behind I Believe In A Thing Called Love at Terminal 5 in New York City. The venue was one of the biggest Langan, commonly known around northeastern Pennsylvania for his work with The Sw!ms and as Langor, ever played, but he has still learned to appreciate the little things. There were roadies there to carry our stuff. That was cool, the current Philadelphia resident said. Langan also performed several songs acoustically with The Darkness including a set at Radio 104.5 FM in Philadelphia. Its not the first time he has crossed paths with British glam rockers. He dressed the set for the live action footage in the Nothings Gonna Stop Us video earlier this year, and his likeness also appears in the animation provided by painter/ printmaker/drawer and Sweatheart bandmate Thom Lessner. Gigs with Sweatheart have been a constant for Langan since his move to the City of Brotherly Love last December. In addition, hes working on mixing down a recording session for a tentative Kock 107 album and finishing material hes written for Langor. One thing hell remember about the experience last weekend? Justin (Hawkins) smells really good, Langan said of The Darkness frontman. I dont know what he wears, but whenever I hang out with him, all of my jackets smell really good. Keep up with Langans varied antics at sweatheartsweats.com or find Langor and Kock 107 on Facebook. BULLY SCREENING SET The Anti-Bullying Coalition of Luzerne County will present a screening of the PG-13 version ofBULLYon Thursday, Nov. 8, at the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts (71 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre).Doors open at 6 p.m. and the 98-minute film will begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are $7 and may be purchased at the Kirby Center box office the day of show. A post-film forum will be held from 8:45-9:30 p.m. and coalition member agencies will have representatives, including trained counselors and caseworkers, for attendees to talk to in the Kirby Center lobby at all times. Bringing the film to WilkesBarre has been a goal for several months, according to coalition manager John Dawe. Community response buoyed after bullying incidents were reported in multiple cases during the last six months at Greater Nanticoke, Hanover, Hazleton, and Pittston Area school districts. Weve heard about the challenges involved in dealing with issues around bullying from parents, teachers, school administrators, and kids first hand and are working with all involved to make lasting changes, said Dawe. ANOTHER WEEKENDER PARTY The Weekender is sponsoring a Halloween bash at Brews Brothers West (75 Main St., Luzerne) on Oct. 27. The event features a live performance by 40 Lb. Head and more. Join the Weekender crew for a costume contest and your chance to win $200 for first prize. The fun starts at 9 p.m., so dont miss out.

A September religious festival in Nanchang, China, is a favorite of beggars, as visitors are in a generous mood, but officials expressed concern this year about the increasing hordes of panhandlers harassing the pilgrims. Thus, town officials ordered all festival beggars to be locked up in small cages (too tiny to allow standing) to minimize the hustling. Beggars are free to leave, but then must stay away permanently. Most beggars chose to stay since they still earned more in festival cages than they would have on the street.
Surviving a cobra bite in Nepal is simple, some natives believe. If the victim bites the snake right back, to its death, the venom is rendered harmless. One confident farmer bitten in August in Biratnagar told BBC News that he went about his business normally after fatally biting his attacker and survived only after his family convinced him that perhaps the custom was ridiculous and hauled him to a hospital. PRECIOUS AMBERGRIS In August, schoolboy Charlie Naysmith of Christchurch, England, taking a nature walk near Hengistbury Head beach, came upon a rocklike substance that turned out to be petrified whale vomit -- which, to his surprise, proved worth the equivalent of from $16,000 to $64,000. Ambergris, a waxy buildup from the intestines of a sperm whale, produces a foul odor but is valuable commercially for prolonging the scent of a perfume. (Actually, after floating in the sun, on salt water, for decades, the ambergris on the beach was smooth and sweet-smelling.) IN GOD WE TRUST The CIA and the National Security Agency may play roles, but Kentuckys homeland security law explicitly acknowledges God as the key to the war on terrorism. In August, the Kentucky Supreme Court declined to hear atheists challenges to the states 2002 legislative finding that the states safety and security cannot be achieved without Gods help. A lower court wrote that since the law did not advance religion but merely paid lip service to a belief in God, it did not violate the separation of church and state doctrine. GHETTO GOLF The Bronx, where nearly onethird of the population lives in poverty, is the poorest of the five New York City boroughs, with per-capita income 70 percent lower than neighboring Manhattans. Yet among the citys most ambitious public works projects under construction is an 18-hole golf course in the Bronxs Ferry Point Park, estimated to cost the city $97 million, according to a September New York Times report. Furthermore, golf may be losing popularity. The Times reported that rounds of golf in New York City have dwindled (from 880,000 on 12 municipal courses in 1966 to 561,000 on 13 courses in 2011). From the citys standpoint, it gets a course to be operated by a Donald Trump company and is hoping to build a waterfront esplanade adjacent to the course. FUNNY MONEY Todd Kettler, 37, was arrested in October in Kalamazoo Township, Mich., and charged with robbing a Southfield, Mich., bank five days earlier. The manager of a strip club in the Township had noticed that Kettler was handing women money saturated with red dye, and called the police.

If you want to get to know Aaron Lewis, just listen to The Road. On his rst full-length album, the Grammy Award nominated, multi-platinum singer, songwriter and guitarist tells one story after another. Echoing traditional country, some of those tales are hilarious and heartwarming, while others are pensive and personal. Nevertheless, theyre all equally powerful, vibrant and unforgettable.

HTC counterparts. Quite the contrary for this one; the RAZR HDs chassis is among the most well-constructed Ive encountered the large 4.7-inch display is nestled into a bezel with a metallic finish, and the rubberized rear case feels strong enough to resist rough handling without damage. Even so, its not overly thick at 0.33 inches, comparable to models like the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the iPhone 5, and still fits comfortably into a pocket. The RAZR HDs display is eyecatchingly clear, featuring 720p resolution and SuperAMOLED technology similar to the latest top-of-the-line Samsung devices. It features the familiar 8 megapixel rear-facing, 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera array, and the rear camera can also capture high definition video. As is typical of new smartphones, it offers 4G LTE Internet capability, which combined with the high-powered processor make Web browsing extremely snappy. The interface is classic Motorola: not too much, not too little.

PAGE 14
of Loyalty Barber Shop & Shave Parlor (7 Kennedy Dr., Archbald) seem to have walked out of the 1930s and 40s. Their gauged ears and detailed tattoos from neck to
toe, however, remind you that its still 2012. The mix of cultures traditional barber shops and modern ink is a trend that co-owner Brian Nardella, 38, observed rising in Northeast
Pennsylvania just a few years ago. My take on it all kind of stems from getting involved with a certain music scene, like a rockabilly type thing. I started buying old classic cars and going to shows. What I noticed at shows was almost everybody was wearing these very haircuts that were
cutting today. Thats what really got me hooked on that, Nardella recalled. If you look at the music scene, youll even notice guys that used to have long hair are now shedding their long hair for these classic haircuts. I dont know what the phenomenon is with it, but for a while barbers were dead. Nobody went to barbers. Kids will say, My grandfather goes to a barber. The mohawks are now turning into nice, parted haircuts. It used to be one of those things with the rockabilly, psychobilly, hot rod culture. Now, weve got lots of hardcore kids that come in here, co-owner Jim Simon, 33, continued. He noted that the connection between tattooing and barbering may have started when tattooing was banned in New York City because of a hepatitis outbreak decades back, forcing artists to work in secret in the back rooms of barber shops. Its all coming full circle. Theyre all going back to a 30s style haircut that their grandfather or great grandfather used to have. We have countless tattoo artists that come in here that are loving the style. Formerly Big Daddys, the shop was taken over, renovated, and reopened by Simon, Nardella, and coowner Joe Siconol, 37, in January, its crimson walls covered with framed tattoo art and items from other local businesses. While the job perfectly ts the trio and their steady customer base, their career paths were not always so clear. Siconol owned several businesses before Loyalty, Simon was a land surveyor for a civil engineering company and later worked in the gas industry, and Nardella tried careers in law enforcement and graphic design. Anthony Ranella, 33, who was hired at the shop seven months ago, was a union electrician. Now their lives revolve around straight razor shaves, lather, bay rum, and hot towels, specializing in hard parts, whitewalls,

pompadours, high and tights, slicked backs, attops, and skin fades, among other styles. Siconol even developed his own pomade, Olde Anthracite, in two different scents. Basically, the way I viewed it is I cant tattoo, I suck with my hands as far as mechanical abilities, and I cant play an instrument, so to me, this was the next best way to touch every one of those things I enjoyed, Nardella emphasized.
A haircut is a haircut is a haircut, but I think theres a lot more involved than just the haircut. There are guys that get something as simple as a crew cut, which any one of us could do, but will specically wait for me because they want to bulls--t about cars, or theyll wait for Jim because they want to talk about tattoos or guns. The shops name may have been taken from a friends former tattoo parlor, but Loyalty wholly describes their faithful customers, who often crack open cold cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon and chat about their shared interests or daily troubles. Its OK to be whoever you wanted to be in this
environment. The shop is almost like a social club at times because people come here all the time and dont get cut. They might come once a month, but theyll come here a couple times a week sometimes just to hang out. Theyll stop by on their way home from work, Simon explained. Some of their regulars come from Wilkes-Barre, Kingston, Hazleton, Ashley, the Pocono Mountains, and as far away as New York and New Jersey. We barely advertise. Its all by word of mouth. We pride ourselves on the quality of the work, and thats why people keep coming here Weve gained so many friends;
theyre so great. Its like not even being at work some days, Simon continued. It was super busy one day, and we were turning them out. I was cutting this guys hair and he was b--ching that the wait wasnt long enough, Ranella added with a laugh.
t is more than just a profession, they insist its a lifestyle. I think were even staying loyal to the trade. Were doing it the way that it was done 100 years ago. Traditional barbering straight razor
head shaves, face shaves, neck shaves. Were sticking to classic haircuts that will never go out of style, Simon acknowledged. I wouldnt go to a barber shop when I was a kid because it was where my uncle and my dad and my grandfather went. They were awesome at cutting hair, but they didnt know the current styles. If I wanted spiky hair in the 80s, I got a attop. You couldnt go to an 80-year-old barber and be like, The singer for Gaslight Anthem did you see his haircut? Thats what I want it to look like! I know exactly what youre talking about. The culture is such a huge aspect of it.
The owner of The Bog (in downtown Scranton) made the joke that he could spot our haircuts there a mile away, Nardella added. Its interesting that were kind of building our own niche. W

Before Loyalty Barber Shops scheduled interview with The Weekender, co-owner Joe Siconol was unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer and has been unable to work. To help him pay for his medical bills, their close friends at the Electric City Tattoo Gallery (620 Spruce St., Scranton) will hold a benet Nov. 4 from noon until the last tattoo is nished. A sheet of designs, drawn by artists from several shops volunteering their time, will be posted, with each costing $50. A straight razor enthusiast and fanatic about shaving, Siconol collects blades, soaps, razor strops, special brushes, and even restored a 1910 barber chair that sits in the corner of the shop. His razor collection is something for a museum. Its ridiculous, co-owner Jim Simon described. Its a huge part of his life. He got other people into it as well. Noting his largerthan-life personality, humor, and strength, Simon referred to his friend as the heart of the shop. Ive never seen someone more committed to barbering than Joe. I cant imagine him doing anything else. For more info on the benet, visit facebook.com/events/510500972310699/.

to his sons Pete, 58, and Aldo, 54, along with his grandson, Frank Sartorio, Jr., 31. The specialty service is one that Sartorios is happy to offer. In the old country, we had more shaves than haircuts, Frank Sr. said. Over here, the barbers dont want to do it because they spend too much time with the razor, and it costs more. They dont want it, but we love it. Its easy to feel like family as the three generations of Sartorios crack wise against each other. When asked why straight razor shaves are growing in popularity, Frank Jr. chimed in. If youre letting an 85-year-
old man shave your face, its like a thrill seeking thing. Its like bungee jumping, he joked with his grandfather. In truth, the service is a cheap luxury that is experiencing a boom in northeastern Pennsylvania, the Pittston-based Sartorios agreed. Anybody can go home and shave quickly with their Acras and everything else. We could never compete with how fast and how easy you can do it, Pete said. When you come here and youre getting a shave, youre getting a hot towel and relaxing. Youre being pampered. Dont be fooled by the word pampered, though. This is not a beauty shop. This is a mans way of getting pampered, Pete continued. Youre getting an
old-time shave, and you come out feeling great when you leave, which you cant do for yourself. College kids are starting to get it more and more, too, added Frank Jr. Thats more recent, though. When I rst started working here, you guys were barely doing any college kids, shave-wise. Aldo joked that a stop at Sartorios is good for more than eliminating a ve oclock shadow. It also helps get rid of a hangover, and college kids get hangovers, the Meshoppen resident said of the hot towel treatment. The shave starts with a lubricating cream The razor has to glide across the face, Pete explained. The less friction, the better. It also
softens the beard. followed by a hot towel, hot lather, and the shave itself. Disappearing cream helps clean up any razor burn, and the process ends with another hot towel. Then we tell them to go home! Frank Sr. joked. The shave, lasting an average of 30 minutes, costs $15. Add a haircut for another $15 for a new look in about an hour. A stable of regular customers keeps the chairs at Sartorios full, and the family keeps conversation lively. You can come in here and forget about whats outside. We give them our problems so that way they can forget about their own, Aldo said, jokingly. Working with family, he added, is a blessing. I cant imagine it any other way. Pete spoke in amazement about his fathers return to the shop four months after undergoing brain surgery in February. Look at him. Hes better than ever, Pete said. Thats because they nally put one in, quipped longtime employee Maggie Domant. Domant has worked at Sartorios since 1989 following the closure of her Fashion Beauty Salon inside the now defunct Hotel Sterling. Frank Sr. never imagined sharing the trade with family when he started learning it all in 1956. Its a pleasure to work with them, he said. My dad is the shop, Pete said. Even when he leaves the shop, hes still here. When you have a guy like that that started the shop, everyone respects him. Hes amazing. W

Never ones to settle for a regular concert, The Great Party will join Shayfer James and Patrick Finnerty for The Vintage Masquerade at The Vintage Theater (326 Spruce St.,Scranton) on Oct. 26, a night that promises music, masks, and perhaps a bit of mischief. In youre unsure of what to wear to the event, or for Halloween in general, the Ameripop band, which just released a video for Teresa off their self-titled EP, offered some holiday fashion advice to Weekender readers.

Bassist Matt Mang: This upcoming show reminded me how simple but unique a masquerade mask can be. With so many different styles, they can be any combination of sexy, grotesque, funny, scary, and theyre always mysterious. Grab one that has the effect you want to convey, match it with some black garb, and get ready for some Eyes Wide Shut freakiness. Sometimes its more memorable not to have an answer to Who are you supposed to be? and get a little whacky. In the video for our song Teresa, Mike Nordberg and I wore Speedos, eye patches and tube socks to become The Tubesock Twins. Grab a couple random things to wear and maybe make up a name and story behind it as you go.
Vocalist/keyboardist Rosaleen Eastman: When all else fails, I Roy G Biv. Just go through your clothes and pick out one article to represent each color of the rainbow. Rainbow suspenders cant hurt. This can also become a group costume, everyone representing one color. I also like costumes within costumes. For example, if you plan on trick-or-treating as Salma Hayek, why not be her dressing up like a bodybuilder for Halloween? Ladies who like to don sexy costumes ( i.e. sexy cop, sexy nurse, sexy firefighter, sexy Little Red Riding Hood) might find themselves getting a bit more attention going as a sexy toll booth operator, a sexy janitor, or a sexy female Magnum, P.I. Dont forget the stache.
Keyboardist/guitarist Mike Nordberg: One really cant go wrong with a superhero or scary costume. Ghost, ghoul, goblin, and zombie outfits seem to really get people in the mood. My favorite costume of all time has to be the windy man. Dress up in normal clothes and then skew everything to the side using coat hangers, wire or whatever rigid material is around. Extra hold hairspray and a staggered walk really bring it home; an open briefcase or inside out umbrella gets extra points. Its not always easy to play an instrument whist dressed in costume, though. Gloves, masks, and anything that reduces mobility are pretty much off the table, but Ill figure something out.
Vocalist/guitarist Mike Eastman: Well, I would love to catch some Teresa sightings out there from our video. Lets see how many of you can pull of my sexy curves. (Pictured left.) Other than that, I love clever cheap. Have some fun with it! Once I went as a Halloween all-star. I just

ALBUM REVIEWS
Dave Stewart a true ringmaster of talent
Perhaps better known for his work with other artists than his solo output, Dave Stewarts been a music business workhorse. Hes probably best known as the writer/producer/musical figurehead behind Annie Lennoxs voice in the Eurythmics. Stewarts also famously penned Tom Pettys 1985 hit Dont Come Around Here No More among many others, and shadowed mid-career guidance to artists like Bono and Jon Bon Jovi - Stewarts gift for musical direction is unparalleled. Here, he balances powerful guest spots with his own mostly blue-eyed soul vision to present a veritable resume of sonic craftsmanship. From Joss Stones reckless testifying on the bombastic I Got Love, to the warmth and whispered glow of the Allison Krauss duet Drowning In The Blues, Stewart melds his personal tastes to the abilities of his collaborators with precision and inventiveness. Look no further for evidence of this than on the Orianthi-
accompanied cut, Girl In A Catsuit, where Stewarts penchant for easygoing, mid-tempo grooves collides in a deliciously violent discharge with the young shredders stratospheric guitar licks. Stewarts no slouch sans bigname accompaniment. His gentile solo-piano ballad You Took My Love aches with the same heartsick quality that made Bob Dylans Time Out of Mind so memorably love-scarred. His tongue-in-cheek New Song For Nashville takes on the lack of whisky-hearted substance in contemporary Country music (I like the way Im feeling here, kind of goes with my tattoos). Getting by with a little help from his friends but still able to steal the spotlight, Dave Stewart proves why hes one of the most talented of musical chameleons.

WWWW
After releasing what most considered the groups best album to date last year, Good For Me, The Swellers have selfreleased a 5-track EP titled Running Out of Places to Go. Maybe its the lyrical angst in the opener Hands or how the group changes time signatures on the second track, Let Me In. Maybe, its the way each song makes you want to break out into a circle pit. Whatever it is, Running Out of Places to Go is a sure milestone for The Swellers. The title-track is where the band truly shows how far it has come in more ways than one. The track starts slow, grabbing attention, and builds up in true Swellers fashion. The lyrics on the other hand, seem to fit the bands current state: grateful for the hard work paying off but exhausted from it as well. The most impressive aspect of this new EP is the fact the group has taken a somewhat common sound, mastered it, and made it its own. It feels as if they kept these songs off of Good For Me to perfect them. Running Out of Places to Go has plenty to keep fans excited but leaves them wanting a full-length of more of these kinds of tunes soon.

movie review
Weekender Correspondent
By Mike Sullivan
Rating: W Allen isnt any different from every creepy kid from a horror movie. He openly schemes with imaginary friends, he aimlessly wanders around the house at night, and he even paints ritualistic symbols on the upper body of the familys adopted son.
future (an odd idea that the filmmakers refuse to explore), Allen isnt any different from every creepy kid from a horror movie. He openly schemes with imaginary friends, he aimlessly wanders around the house at night, and he even paints ritualistic symbols on the upper body of the familys adopted son. Oddly enough, the only family member to notice Allens naked weirdness is Kathryn Newton who, along with her thoroughly loathsome boyfriend (Matt Shively), set up a series of webcams throughout the house to help figure out whats going on. A jump scare in a horror movie is like a fart gag in a comedy. Its an admission of defeat. A jump scare exists because the filmmakers couldnt think of anything legitimately frightening or atmospheric to put on the screen so they just said, Screw it! Lets just make the front door slam really loud. For 84 minutes, Paranormal Activity 4 is nothing but cats suddenly jumping into frame, car horns honking, and women shouting Hello for no particular reason. The film leans heavily on jump scares because it has nothing else. Unlike the original Paranormal Activity, Paranormal Activity 4 never strays too far from the hoary cliches of a haunted house movie. Yet again, were presented with a group of people too stupid to pack up their bags and take an unplanned vacation the moment the weird demon child gropes them in their sleep or causes the kitchen knives to float around. In addition, the films lo-fi aesthetics and penchant for long, drawn-out pauses makes it resemble a more grating than usual mumblecore film, albeit one with a demon haphazardly CGI-ed into the films final seven seconds. Indifferently directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman (who also gave us the smug fakeumentary Catfish), Paranormal Activity 4 makes you long for the days when the Saw franchise was still pumping out unwanted sequels. As useless as the Saw series might have been, at least those movies werent boring. W

novel approach
Sailing oceans of consequence
By Kacy Muir
Weekender Correspondent
In M. L. Stedmans well-crafted debut, The Light Between Oceans, she takes readers on a journey of choice and consequence. Like a lighthouse shining its way into the night, the novel emphasizes that the decision between right and wrong can change from visible to vague in an instant. Set during the late 1920s, the novel follows a chance connection between protagonists and couple, Tom and Isabel Sherbourne. After Tom accepts a position as the lighthouse keeper, he and Isabel leave the mainland for Janus Rock in Western Australia. The island may be isolated, but the lighthouse offers everything Tom and Isabel need. It becomes their refuge in the rough months ahead through every unruly tide and storm. Isabel is kind, brave and, above all, maternal. But, after a series of miscarriages, Isabel grows distraught and preoccupied with grief. Tom, as supportive as he can be, can no longer improve her sense of loss, prompting his guilt. Here, as a reader, we feel a definite attachment to the characters. We feel connected to their loss and their attempts to do the right thing. But, the journey to that decision is not always black and white. At the lighthouse, Tom takes meticulous record of every regular and irregular occurrence. But when a miracle drifts ashore, his and Isabels lives change forever. The cries of a baby echo in through the windows. Having been the only people on the island for months on end, Isabel first contemplates if her mind is playing tricks on her. But, Tom also hears the noise, deciding to flee to the shoreline for further inspection. As Tom moves towards the

The Light Between Oceans By M.L. Stedman Rating: W W W W small boat, the cries amplify. There, he finds a man days past help. He moves him, checking for signs of life only to find one survivor a crying baby wrapped in nothing but a ladies blouse. The decision to keep the child weighs heavily on both characters. While Tom immediately feels the authorities should be contacted, he finds Isabel smiling as if transformed into the woman she was destined to become. Tom and Isabel make the choice to keep the child, naming her Lucy. She becomes the bond that strengthens the relationship between them. While Stedman wants readers to believe the story has already started, it is not until two years pass and the family returns to the mainland that the plot truly begins to unfurl. The Light Between Oceans develops into two very different stories told from one shore to the next. We conclude the novel with Toms retrospection: Soon enough the days will close over their lives, the grass will grow over their graves, until their story is just an unvisited headstone.

ENTERTAINMENT REPORT
Bruno Mars may be receiving rave reviews following his hosting gig last weekend on Saturday Night Live, but the singer still isnt taking himself too seriously. Yeah, this is my launching pad, a somewhat serious Mars said on The Ralphie Show, before veering off. Im out of the music business. Me and Tom Hanks are doing a movie. Hanks, who happened to be in New York on a promotional tour of his own, ended up lending a cameo to Mars SNL episode to which the Grenade singer admitted he was nervous about. All kidding aside, Bruno revealed he would only consider pursuing a film career if it happened organically. Music is my thing, man, he said. Ill leave the acting to the pros. Mars doesnt know what spurred Lorne Michaels and company to ask him to host the legendary show but thinks it worked out well. It also serves as a perfect kick off of touring to promote his new album, Unorthodox Jukebox, due out Dec. 11. Now that the album is finished, Mars can concentrate on press for the LP, such as the aforementioned SNL gig and his forthcoming performance on the Victorias Secret Fashion Show. Yeah, we got asked to do that, Mars said. Thats gonna be fun! When asked if he was looking forward to meeting any of the models, Mars froze, before eventually answering the question in a round-about way. Ive seen the show before and Im excited for the way they put the shows together and how good the stage looks; more important than the beautiful women, Mars said, with a straight face no less. Im lying! Mars exclaimed only seconds later to a room full of laughter. If there was ever a time Mars was going to get serious, that clearly was not going to be it.

Bruno Mars almost kept a straight face when asked about his upcoming gig at the Victorias Secret Fashion Show. week for the band Daughtry. On Sunday the fellas played a soldout Count Basie Theater in Red Bank, NJ. The following morning, it was off to NBCs Today. Night shows are always very different than morning shows, explained Daughtry during an appearance on The Ralphie Show. A lot of times, morning shows arent really garnered toward full band set-ups. For example: Chris was only backed by a couple of acoustic guitars during Monday mornings TV appearance. Usually for the late night shows, Daughtry can hide behind all the noise of a full band. I think singing that early in the morning generally is scary, especially after doing a show the night before, Daughtry admitted. Youre normally not ready for that, so you have to get up five hours earlier just so you can kind of ease in to it. Things didnt slow down for the crew after Monday though. On Tuesday, Chris and Elvio Fernandes a touring member of the band fulfilled a handful of promotional obligations throughout New York City. Why Elvio and not a proper member of the band? Everyone else was in rehearsal for upcoming tour dates including this weeks performance in Dubai, which the band left for on Wednesday evening.

From left, Chrissy Manuel, Cristin Powers, and Samantha Nardelli are three of the creative minds behind ScrantonMade, an emerging online marketplace. longer than one day where we can combine forces with other local artists and offer our products? Powers said. Originally, they planned a simple holiday marketplace but quickly wondered why they should limit themselves to just a few months each year. Were interested in finding ways for artists to sustain themselves and make art for a living, Manuel explained. Were excited about how much interest weve gotten, and each person brings their own customer base with them. Its been great for us to share that. Just as GreenBeing and Fanciful Fox have helped build a destination for handmade goods downtown, collaborators behind ScrantonMade hope the online shop will be a place where people point their browsers. The storefronts arent going anywhere, either. Established brick and mortar shops wont be replaced any time soon by owners huddled behind their computer screens. We want to still continue to do things in the community, not just online, Manuel emphasized. Were so rooted in the community, even though were online.
This rug made of recycled materials is just one example of the works of Annie Cadden that will be featured online in mid-November. In fact, the ScrantonMade crafters will participate in the Buy Local Holiday Marketplace at the Scranton Cultural Center (420 N. Washington Ave., Scranton) on Nov. 25. The ScrantonMade blog will continue to feature new artist biographies, DIY project ideas, artist and small business resources, event information, and more. Artists interested in joining the effort may have an opportunity to apply after the new year, Powers said.

Infinite Improbability
Joaquin Phoenixs ill-fated appearance on "The Late Show with David Letterman" could have been the beginning of the end of his career. (AP Photo/CBS, J.P. Flio) and religious hypocrisy ring true despite its exaggerations, so as it stuck with me, so did Phoenix. Clay Pigeons, The Yards, Buffalo Soldiers I was really enjoying this guy. I even forgave him for M. Night Shyamalans Signs he probably thought it was going to be good like The Sixth Sense, too. Considering his battle with alcoholism and his brother Rivers untimely passing due to a drug overdose in 1993, you would think hed had his share of real substance abuse in his life. But no, he decided to flush his career to say what, exactly, with his fake stupor in Im Still Here? That he could make poop jokes? That he could fool fans and critics with a performance thats not even watchable or entertaining? I admire people who take artistic risks, but this was worse than just doing a bad movie this was breaking trust with your audience, a gamble that seemed to pay off with no one. He admitted in recent interviews that it has been tough for him to find work since. Distracted by all the great films we were treated to this year, I simply forgot about the oddly-named artiste until The Master started pulling in solid reviews. They had me at P.T. Anderson and Philip Seymour Hoffman, but would this film also be Joaquins grand return to real cinema? This I had to see. Like his namesake rising from the ashes, Phoenix is brilliant as Freddie Quell, a World War II veteran with mental issues who crosses paths with Lancaster Dodd, a cult leader obviously based on Scientology founder and all-around nutjob L. Ron Hubbard, who attempts to bring him into The Cause. The irony of Phoenix winning audiences back with a role as a meandering drunk isnt lost on me, but watching these two greats play off each other is inspired filmmaking, an art form Im glad to see him return to. From talking out the side of his mouth for over two hours to randomly breaking into fits of impulsive violence, he completely owns this role, giving us a protagonist thats sympathetic one minute and repulsive the next. Hoffman is equally deserving of praise, but he had nothing to prove Joaquin needed to show that hes still got it. He does, thankfully, but I hope that he keeps it this time. He may not be a fan of the Hollywood system, as he mentioned last week, but if he wants to keep making blockbusters and critical darlings, his next project should continue to involve risk, but maybe one thats a bit more calculated. Or, at the very least, sane. But hey, Im glad youre still here, Mr. Phoenix.

themed toys or stickers. Temporary tattoos are a good alternative, too. Be real. Allow yourself a few treats, but dont go overboard. Set a realistic amount of candy you can have daily and commit to the number. Leftover junk should be tossed out. You may think its wasteful, but its better than being waist-FULL. Also, dont bring the leftovers into work. If your co-workers are trying to watch their calories, dont be the person who potentially sabotages their efforts. Dont beat yourself up. If you do go overboard on the M&Ms, its not the end of the world. While physical activity cant erase the calories you consumed, you can offset it with exercise and get back on track.

Godri-Johnston also began to experience continued abdominal discomfort, one symptom described by the Colon Cancer Alliance web site. The thing is, Stephanie never complained, Mrs. Godri said. Following a colonoscopy in Jan. 2011, doctors took a biopsy of that mass, and it was discovered that she had stage IV colon cancer. After several rounds of medication and chemotherapy, doctors shrank the once softball-sized tumor, but the seeds of the disease had broken through the wall of the intestine and taken root in her abdomen. She passed away on May 10, 2012 at age 32, far younger than the ages commonly associated with the disease. There are a number of young people, some of them even in their late teens, that

he holidays are coming up and it looks like Im going to be alone again. All of my friends have significant others. Im so tired of being alone! Do you have any suggestions for meeting people? I just dont know how to go about finding the love Ive been waiting for. -Lonely in Larksville ear Lonely, Dont you fret. Auntie Estella is here to help. I know people tend to get especially wistful about having a partner around the holidays. The thing to remember is why. Its all part of the romance of it. The idea of the perfect holiday where you are surrounded by the ones you love and its all joy, happiness, and tinsel is most often fiction. The reality is that the holidays are not really like that for most people, and the really important thing to remember is to truly enjoy what you do have. So on that note comes my advice for finding a significant other. The best advice is to follow your bliss. Forget most of the advice youve heard except the idea of putting yourself out there. I just suggest you think about it slightly differently than you may have in the past. When I say to put yourself out there I mean to get out of your routine, get out of whatever shell you are comfortable in and do something different. Think about what you love to do. What gets you psyched? If you love pottery or poetry or drawing, take a class. You will inevitably meet people who are passionate about the same thing. If you attend church or are involved in some community activity, take a position on a committee and again you will
Dear Estella, T
Life is a Drag
Lonely this holiday season? Estella suggests doing something different that you enjoy, which may lead to more. (Photo by Kat Holland) meet people who care about the same causes you do. Meeting random people in bars is totally hit or miss and may not be the best place to look for the love of your life. You have no idea what they are interested in or looking for. If you meet people based on specific interests, you have a much better chance of finding someone with whom you have something in common. The best part is that, even if you dont meet the love of your life while following your bliss, your life will have been enriched and, chances are, youll be happier for it. You may even end up with a beautiful vase to give Aunt Clara on Christmas. Chances are you will also have made some friends along the way who may introduce you to hot, single potentials! You never know where following your bliss will lead you up Mount Kilimanjaro or into bed with a Latin lover from salsa class. Regardless of your relationship status, the most important thing to remember this holiday season is to thine own self be true. You dont need a significant other to make your yuletide merry. Surround yourself with the people you love. Alone doesnt always necessarily have to mean lonely. Think of what you really wish for this holiday season. If you dont meet the love of your life, its not the end of the world. I understand your desire for love. Sometimes the harder you look, the more difficult it may become. Selfconfidence is key when looking for that special someone. As my idol and mentor Ru Paul says, If you dont love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else? Can I get an Amen? So in the meantime, live the life you love and love the life you live and just do you.

Summon a plague of rats with one of your many powers in Dishonored. tions, Dark Vision which lets players see enemy movements through walls and highlights other important objects in the world, and Agility which increases jump height and movement speed and reduces fall damage. You can also bend time, call swarms of rats, and even possess people. What really matters is the way you can use the powers. If you are skilled enough, you can decide to play through the game without killing a single person. Of course, if you want you can kill everything that moves, but Dishonored has moral consequence. Not only will it affect your ending, it will also impact how other characters will react to you. The thing that makes Dishonored so exciting for me is the Chaos Engine. This changes events in the game so you can replay them repeatedly and never have the same outcome. Enemies wont be in the same place, and they wont behave the same way. There is a mission early in the game at a costume ball where you had to kill one of three sisters, and each time you play the target changes, for example. The game is oozing with ambiance. It has beautifully detailed
Justin on TV? That depends on how well his pitch meeting goes...
Go big or go home
A good friend once told me you have two choices in life: You can either go big, or go home. The advice first came to me when I was backstage before performing stand-up at a Pittsburgh comedy club for some reason only God knows. I started drinking to loosen up thinking Id be on early, but Im on last and Ive drank way too much to perform! I said to a friend over the phone. Youre Justin f--king Brown! Youll be fine, my friend advised. Go big, or go home! I took the advice and went big when I pulled a beer can and my car keys out of my pocket to shotgun on stage. I got an audience member and the sound equipment wet with lager, and was kicked out, having to go home. I later learned you cant always go big and go home. Wanna come to Los Angeles with me? I asked my British roommate, Joel, who I worked at a Connecticut resort with. I landed a pitch meeting with a production company interested in possibly turning my column into a reality show! Lets make it a vacation and hit up Vegas afterwards. Count me in! he insisted. Since our flight was at 6 a.m., we decided it would be a good idea to drink all night until our flight. When we hit up a frat party at my friends college that night, Joel was allowed in because he jumped the line with my friend who knew them. They told me no guys were allowed. Come back! I texted Joel at my friends apartment. He refused. Since he has been known to act like the Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz when he drinks losing his mind and the stability of his limbs - I was afraid we would get split up for the rest of the night and miss our flight. Drunk and pissed, I decided to unpack his suitcase. It made sense at the time. While wiping beer tears from his face over what I did, Joel booked an immediate flight back to England. I know. That s--t cray. On my way to LA alone, I was so upset that Joel wasnt coming that I wanted to cry. I didnt because I have a penis. While he went home, I decided to go big, as I had a meeting scheduled that could change my life...
To kill or not to kill? The game allows you to make changes that affect your moral compass, and a Chaos Engine randomizes missions each time you play. levels, amazing voice work, and an array of vibrant characters that draw you into the intrigue and make you care about the choices you have to make. The mix of amazing visuals, fun game play, and intriguing story make the game something special. If you like FPS action, stealth, and games with moral choices, or if you just like stabbing people in the head, grab Dishonored, a title that could definitely be a contender for game of the year.

Weekender Correspondent
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) As you concoct what youre going to wear to your Halloween bash or costumed birthday party, consider dressing as the physical embodiment of your greatest weakness. Be your version of a giant Achilles Heel. Why expose yourself? Because even though your virile strength is inarguably sexy, thats not the part of you thats shining through this week. Like it or not, your frailties will be painfully obviouswhy not flaunt them? If people will see you as a fragile and vulnerable autumn leaf anyway, why hide it? Autumn leaves arent just delicate; theyre beautiful, too. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Time is accelerating. Im sure youve noticed how every year slips by a little quicker than the last, and whole weeks blend together into an indistinguishable blur. Dont let it depress you, not when it could (and should) motivate you. There are ways to dig in your heels against the flow of time and get it to slow down for you, and to keep your months from melting away. One is to keep a journal of the monotony. Another is to end it altogether. How? Make it your deliberate intention, starting right now, to do something different and memorable every single day. Doesnt have to be big. Its easier (and more rewarding) than you think. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Never underestimate the value of The Little Things. Remembering to wear the shirt they bought for you the next time you see them, even if you hate it. Include the date and time on your roommates phone messages. It might not garner much outward appreciation, but rest assured youre winning points nonetheless (good karma credit that could come in handy later). When youre not sure how to communicate what youre feeling, display how much youre worth, or show off your practical genius, dont get stuck trying to think up some grand, dramatic gesture. Little Things are enough. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) You were always the kid least likely to practice kissing on your hand first, because your big sisters friends taught you how before it had ever occurred to you to try. Your precociousness has gotten you into trouble and pleasure in equal measures, but its often hard to predict which one youre headed for at any given moment. That uncertainty has sometimes caused you to pretend innocence where you had none, or ignorance where you already knew, just in case youd be puniThe support is undeniably a positive thing, but you might not feel so exhilarated by that aid when you see cousin Emily in the corner spitting and flailing, while Uncle Evan uses his nails and pulls hair. Not that all your allies are such pussies when it comes to sticking up for you. But since youre not in a position to pick and choose who gets to help you and who doesnt, you might be better off fighting your own battles this week, especially because youre perfectly capable of resolving them on your own. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Its rumored that Catherine the Great died under a horse, while sating her sexual predilections. Elizabeth I is oft portrayed as an awful, frigid virgin. The powerful men of history dont fare much betterwe hear just as much about clothespins on penises and cross-dressing capers as we do about noble deeds. The point is, wielding power isnt all its cracked up to be. Sometimes, boldly doing so results in undue focus on your more human qualities, and not on the (presumably) good work youre trying to do. To avoid tabloid-style controversy, it might serve your intentions better to quietly rule from behind the scenes instead of grandly flourishing your latest edicts. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Yeah, youre successful, but are you happy? Youve transformed nothing into something, wielding only determination and time. But still you feel a little unsettled. Its because youre deeper than that. Youre not all about making the money to spend the money to make the money. Theres nothing wrong with that, but theres more, too. Your latest lessons have taught you that a job isnt just about the paycheck, and your happiness is predicated on more then income. And now that you dont have the pressure of basic survival needs holding you down, youre free to concentrate on feeding other things besides your mouth, like your soul. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Call off the hounds. Tell your bodyguards to take a break. No one will be taking shots at you; therefore, youre safe from bullets theyd theoretically leap in the way of. In fact, youre so divinely charmed and safe from harm that to put up any defenses at all will only keep you from the good things youre due. Take down the barbed wire. Disable the laser alarms. Keep in mind that no matter how many exterior fortifications you remove, youre hardly helpless on your own. Trust your strength. The more naked and vulnerable you are this week, the better off youll be.

shed for your tendency to be a littleadvanced. This week, thats unnecessary. Since the person youre dealing with is turned off by inexperience, and even more so by fake inexperience, dont lie. When they ask how many times youve been around the block, tell them. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) So far, youve resisted sharing your clarity with others. Although you have a clearer picture of your convoluted inner tangle than ever, youve found that mostly clueing people into it just scares them. Youre a complicated person, and fully sharing that essential truth might not be your best bet (if you want a life, that is) all across the board. But for anyone truly attempting to navigate that dangerous maze, the road maps you can provide would be invaluable. Once youve figured out that someone is willing to negotiate the labyrinth, minotaurs and all, give them every map youve got. Theyll give you thanks, along with the severed head of your internal Medusa, later. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) How can someone as fearsomely intimidating and strong as you wither into such a delicate and spineless flower? More easily and quickly than the waxing and waning of the moon, apparently. Your inconsistency is breathtaking. Get it together. You have a duty to your fans, and cant hide behind moodiness or excuses right now. All interested parties have purchased guides to your hearts hot spots, like the Star Maps to celebrity homes for sale on Hollywood street corners. If you cant pull your s--t together for yourself, at least do it for your imminent guests. DingDong! Oops, theyre here.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Where have you been? Your ability to fly under the radar is unparalleled, but its still disturbing when you so completely disappear for so long. Not to mention these hints of some heretofore-unprecedented abilities. Your keen social camouflage is well-documented, but replacing your notorious rigidity with newfound flexibilitynice move. What are you, the prodigal progeny of Mr. Plastic and The Invisible Woman? Well? Dont just stand around while I congratulate you. Your arch-nemesis and his evil cronies havent figured out your new status. Knock them out of the picture for once and allnot by kicking their asses, but by befriending them, since youre in a position to do so now. Its kind of a stretch, but isnt that your new specialty? GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) As the most heady of signs (if not always the most rational), you dont usually have a sense of fatalism. That is, you believe that your conscious free will can keep you from basically becoming your parents. You think astrology is probably all bullshit and that ingenuity and logic (especially working together) can always triumph over emotional or physical obstacles. All of these things are true. Yet every one has an exception as well. Unfortunately, this week is ruled by the exceptions. No, youre not going to turn into your Mom or Dad. But dont panic when the things you knew as true turn out to only be mostly true. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) At first, you may be incredibly psyched to have so many people fighting for you.
