Letter from the editor
Fall has always been
my favorite time of
year. I love when it
gets chilly enough for
a big comfy sweat-
shirt, I love hearing
leaves crunch under-
foot and seeing them
swirl in the rearview
mirror as I drive.
Halloweens a favor-
ite holiday of mine,
even the year my
mom made me dress
up like Pee-wee Her-
man because she loved
when I mimicked his
laugh as a kid. Never
mind that she later
found out that I was
too embarrassed to
wear the costume in my grade-
school Halloween parade and
instead, marched in my plaid
school uniform.
Dont get me wrong, I love
Mr. Herman, but the costumes
mask was one of those creepy
plastic ones from the 80s that
had the eyes cut out too big
and made your face sweat.
Never mind that its suit was
an ill-fitting onesie.
I gladly wore the costume
that year trick-or-treating, and if
I do say so myself, my version
of Im trying to use the
phone! was a big hit then
(and, thanks to a payback story
from Mom, still is). The Pee-
wee Herman Costume Incident
has become a beloved long-
running joke between
she and I, but those
cheesy plastic masks
still make me wince.
If youre one of the
many adults who still
love to dress up like I
do almost every year,
hopefully your cos-
tume wont be one
youll look back on
and be embarrassed
about in years to
come. Check out
some of this years
hottest outfits and
other holiday-themed
happenings in this
weeks cover story
starting on p. 14.
In The Gamer on
p. 55, you can read Dale Culps
report on his trip to New York
Comic Con, which was held
this past weekend at the Jacob
K. Javits Convention Center. I
went myself for the first time,
and it was certainly a sight to
behold. Ill be blogging about
NYCC later this week and
will definitely show a picture of
the gent Dale mentioned that
was dressed as Wonder Woman
if thats not enticing enough
to check out www.theweeken-
der.com/blogs, I dont know
what is!
As always, until we meet
next week, thanks for reading!

My Smurfette costume that my
mom made.
Master Shake from Aqua Teen
Hunger Force.
A Batman costume that my
grandmother handmade for me
when I was around 5 years old.
There isnt really a favorite, but
my least favorite was this stupid
red phone my mother forced me
to be.
When I was the devil. Everyone
said I was playing against type.
An Easter Bunny that my mom
made for me.
My ghost costume, for the
simple fact that I look miserable
in every single photo from that
year.
I dressed as Paul Stanley a few times
when I was younger and must admit
there is something very cool about
feeling the mystique of Kiss.
My parrot-eating Perky Viking.
What was your favorite
Halloween costume?

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
HOLYCOW
London Fashion Week usually
brings forth a shock or two from
cutting-edge designers, but a
September creation by Rachel
Freire might have raised the bar: A
floor-length dress made from
3,000 cownipples (designed to
resemble roses). Initial disgust for
the garment centered on implied
animal abuse, but Freire deflected
that issue by pointing out that the
nipples had been discarded by a
tannery and that her use amounted
to recycling. The 32-year-old
Freire, who has worked with
mainstreamentertainers such as
Christina Aguilera, was kept so
busy with the animal-abuse angle
that she was largely spared having
to explain another issue: Why
anyone would want to wear a dress
made with cownipples.
THEENTREPRENEURIAL
SPIRIT!
-- The worlds real economy
may be flagging, but not necessar-
ily the make-believe economy of
online multiplayer games, accord-
ing to reporting by The Wall
Street Journal (July) and the web-
site Singularity Hub (August). For
example, entrepreneur Ailin
Graefs Anshe Chung Studios is
worth millions of real U.S.
dollars, earned mostly by manag-
ing rentals of make-believe real
estate and brokering make-believe
money transactions in the game
Second Life. Graef also com-
mands top (real) dollar for her
designs of make-believe fashions
for players game characters
(avatars). Two other companies
are suing each other in federal
court in San Francisco over the
copyright to their lucrative busi-
ness models of creating make-
believe animals (horses, rabbits)
that sell very well to players who
take themon as game pets for
their characters or breed themto
make other make-believe animals.
WEIRDSCIENCE
-- Artificial meat (grown in a
test tube fromanimal stemcells)
has been theoretically planned for
about 10 years, but a European
Science Foundation audience in
September heard predictions that
lab-grown sausage might be avail-
able as soon as next year. The
meat is produced in sheets
(shmeat) and would be prohib-
itively expensive at first, in that
the largest specimen produced so
far measures only about one inch
long and a third of an inch wide.
The biggest drawback facing
artificial muscle tissue: That even
lab-grown muscles require exer-
cise to prevent atrophy.
-- Recent Alarming Headlines:
(1) Miami Invaded by Giant,
House-Eating Snails (up-to-10-
inch-long snails that attach to, and
slowly gnawon, stucco walls). (2)
Scientists Develop Blood Swim-
ming Microspiders to Heal
Injuries, Deliver Drugs (spider-
like machines, made of gold and
silica, smaller than a red blood cell
yet which can travel through veins
carrying drugs and be directional-
ly controlled by researchers).
LEADINGECONOMIC
INDICATORS
Turned down once before,
liquor manufacturer EFAGcon-
vinced Germanys Federal Patent
Court in September to award
trademark protection to its
schnapps with the brand name
Ficken, which in German trans-
lates directly into what in English
is known as the Fword. The court
acknowledged that the name is
unquestionably in poor taste but is
not sexually discriminatory and
does not violate public morals. In
fact, the court noted, the word is
widely used in Germany. (In
March 2010, the European Union
trademarks authority granted a
German brewery the right to call
its beer F--king Hell the first
word of which is the actual name
of an Austrian village and the
second a German word referring
to light ale.)
DMVISA
DANGEROUSPLACE
(1) The Department of Motor
Vehicles office in Roseville, Cal-
if., was closed for a week in July
after a driving school student
crashed into the building and left a
five-foot hole in the wall. (2) A
young man taking a test at the
drivers center in Brisbane, Aus-
tralia, in August lost control of his
vehicle and crashed into a bench
outside the building, hitting his
mother, who was waiting for him.
(3) A56-year-old DMVdriving
tester was killed in July when the
woman she was evaluating ran off
the road in Williamsburg, Va., and
struck a tree.
PEOPLEWITHISSUES
In October, a court in Ottawa,
Ontario, sentenced pornography
collector Richard Osborn, 46, to a
year in jail on several charges, but
dismissed the more serious child
porn counts. Judge Robert Four-
nier ruled that Osborns hard-core
images of Bart and Lisa Simpson
and Milhouse were not illegal, on
the grounds that he could not be
sure of the characters ages. (Baby
Maggie Simpson was depicted,
but she was not involved in sex.)
Judge Fournier was clearly ex-
asperated at Osborns perversions,
among themhis homemade video
of swimsuit-clad youngsters,
interspersed with shots of Osborn
himself masturbating, aided by a
Cabbage Patch doll whose mouth
had been cut open. At one point, a
disgusted Judge Fournier cut off
the presentation of evidence.
Enough, he said. We are not
paid by the taxpayers to sit here
and torture ourselves. W

Death is big business in Japan, with 1.2 million
people a year passing away and overtaxing the
countrys cemeteries and crematoriums. With
the average wait for disposal at least several
days, and space running short in funeral homes,
corpse hotels have opened in many cities,
with climate-controlled guest rooms renting
for the equivalent of about $155 a night, with
viewing rooms where relatives can visit the bod-
ies daily until cremation is available.

Make your own
mischief
By Noelle Vetrosky
Weekender Correspondent
T
heres a chill in the air, the moon is high
in the sky as you prepare to embark on a
horrifying journey. The ghouls are around
every corner, bloodcurdling screams sur-
round you, and no matter where you turn,
you cant escape. No, you havent walked onto the set
of the latest Rob Zombie ick: Youve simply stumbled
upon Halloween in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Halloween, or All Hallows Eve as it was once
known, has become much more than the one night of
the year the spirits of the dead can return. Many over-
look this magical, mayhem-lled holiday because they
think its kids only. You may be too old for trick-or-
treating, but no one is too old for a few tricks and some
even sweeter treats, especially as NEPAis lled with
events and activities to jump start your Halloween.
Costumes, candy and cocktails
H
alloween wouldnt be complete without a major
costume bash. Bars and nightclubs across the
area are throwing huge parties and want to
see you there in your festive attire. Whether youre
in Scranton or Wilkes-Barre, you can certainly nd
one that will get you in the spirit while drinking some
spirits.
For more than 40 years, the Woodlands Inn & Resort
in Plains Twp. has thrown a Halloween party with more
than 1,000 of its closest friends. Sponsored by Coors
Light and 98.5 KRZ, this years party will feature cos-
tume contests with cash prizes, a Halloween parade and
yes, getting low on Evolutions dance oor.
Its a tradition, said Food and Beverage Director
Mitch Kornfeld. Ours always happens on Halloween
night where some bars will vary to make sure their
party is on the weekend.
Lindsay Lohan said it perfectly in Mean Girls:
Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress
like a total slut, and no other girls can say anything
about it. The 97.9X Lingerie Ball at the Scranton
Hardware Bar on Saturday, Oct. 29 ran with this con-
cept by telling women to dress down, not up.
Its the twist we put on it, said Program Director
Jim McKay. Halloween is a big freaking deal in this
area now its an excuse for girls to wear something
scantily clad.
Get your scream on
T
heres nothing like getting a good scare for
Halloween, which is why a trip to your local
haunted house or hayride is a must. If youre
looking for something a little more interactive, some-
thing that really pulls you into the story, look no further
than Gravestone Manor in Plains Twp., which is called
a theatrical haunted house by its volunteers.
Most are a self-guided tour or maze, said Cory
Brin, the assistant project coordinator for this United
Way of Wyoming Valley fundraising attraction. This is
a guided tour, and each room has something different,
its own theme. We can scare you without the chain-
saws.
The thing about haunted attractions is that even
though ghastly creatures are jumping out of every
corner, deep down you know they arent real. But what
if there was a place where ghosts might exist? Enter the
Scranton Cultural Center. Tales of the SCCs hauntings
have circulated for years, and the paranormal experts
are coming for proof. The Society of Paranormal Re-
search and Investigation (S.P.R.I) are providing tours on
Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 24-25, allowing participants
to use ghost-hunting equipment and learn investigative
techniques.
S.P.R.I. has unbelievable equipment, one piece more
impressive than the next, said Stefanie Bush, patron
and educational outreach manager at the SCC. Whats
great about the group is that they are experts on archi-
tecture, building structure so they use a scientic ap-
proach and know when a piece of evidence is tainted.
The Scranton Cultural Center, above, is the subject of a ghost tour and an interactive mystery this
Halloween season. In the top right photo are attendees of last years 97.9X Lingerie Ball. Gravestone
Manor is seen in the bottom right photo.

Why watch Ghost Hunters when you can live it?
Paranormal groups have become frequent visitors of the
SCC, but has authentic spiritual activity been discov-
ered?
There are some amazing nds and one is quite
scary, Bush said. Thats all I can say for now
The center will also be home to Mystery at the
Masonic, an old-fashioned murder mystery on Sunday,
Oct. 30, which will be a night of anarchy as guests
travel room to room questioning the suspects to gure
out whos the murderer.
What makes this event so unique is its extremely
interactive, explained Marketing Coordinator Amy
Dickerson. The guests are part of the evening in a
Clue-like guessing game. The night begins with ap-
petizers and drinks, and when guests least expect it, a
murder happens!
Play dress up
H
alloween wouldnt be complete without a
kick-ass costume. Its the one night of the year
where living in a fantasy is not only accepted,
but embraced. With 40 percent of adults dressing in
costumes, it is essential to go all out with an outlandish
and memorable costume thats the talk of the party. Hal-
loween is a specialty of national retail chain Party City,
which unveiled the top trends this year.
Apopular theme not just for costumes but also
decor is zombies. The zombie craze has spread since
AMCs The Walking Dead became a hit, and there-
fore has brought about a multitude of zombie couture.
Rock the gore as a putrid prom queen or a comatose
doctor.
For women, short, tight and revealing certainly come
into play. Designing your own costume by mixing tight
corsets with short petticoats and masks is huge this sea-
son, transforming women into zebras, peacocks, kittens
and more.
For men, its all about superheroes. Expect to see
characters from this years comic-book blockbusters
like Captain America and The Green Lantern at
your Halloween soiree.
Even though Halloween falls on a Monday, dont let
it stop you from dressing up, cutting loose and having
a blast. So, NEPA, whats it going to be: Atrick or a
treat? W

L.C.C.C. gets in the spirit
Haunted happenings
By Nikki M. Mascali
Weekender Editor
S
pirit Week is a chance for
students to show school
spirit, often at pep rallies,
participating in themed days and
more. This year, Spirit Week at
Luzerne County Community
College in Nanticoke will also
be about spirits of the para-
normal kind.
L.C.C.C. Paranormal Crew is
cosponsoring the festivities held
on campus Oct. 24-28. The club
will hold basket rafes, a digital
voice recorder giveaway, a
bake sale, screenings of popular
ghost-themed TV shows and an
open-to-the-public presentation
by Mike Evans of Anthracite
Paranormal Research Group
(APRG).
Following her sisters death,
Ariel Shiffer, the clubs founder
and rst president, began having
some talks with broadcast com-
munications instructor Paul Sin-
clair; the conversations often led
toward paranormal things since
Sinclair is part of the APRG.
I brought the idea (of a
school-based group) up, said
Shiffer, who is now also an
APRG member. When I was
younger, stuff always happened
when people passed close to
me, like my grandfather and my
uncle, so I was always interested
and always watched all the
shows and wanted a group so
bad.
The two spent nearly a semes-
ter drafting the clubs consti-
tution and mission statement
before the Paranormal Crew
became ofcial last fall. With
more than 60 members, were
already one of the biggest, if not
the biggest, organizations on
campus, Sinclair stated.
Evans often provides his
equipment, including full-spec-
trum cameras, thermal cameras
and voice recorders and recently
took the club to Gettysburg,
Pa., for two investigations. The
historic spot is one of Evans
favorite places to investigate; it
was on a visit there more than
20 years ago that got him inter-
ested in the paranormal.
He was walking by the
Devils Den area and saw a lot
of poison oak, so to avoid it, he
was jumping from rock to rock
when he got the feeling some-
one was watching him.
I just stopped and turned
around, a guy was standing on
the rocks, too, Evans recalled.
I said, God almighty, he
doesnt have any shoes on, and
theres poison oak all around ...
He just raised his right arm and
goes, Im over there.
Evans looked toward where
he was pointing and when he
turned back, the man was gone.
There was nowhere for him
to run, I would have heard him
running through the trees,
Evans said.
That sighting certainly isnt
the scariest thing he or
Sinclair has seen. That came
during an investigation roughly
two years ago on a stretch of
Route 33 in Monroe County
known for fatal accidents. The
thermal camera picked up an
ice-cold signature that would
appear and disappear.
I looked at the screen, and it
was about 7 feet tall, Sinclair
said. Then I saw it get down
on all fours, shrink in size and
crawl into the hillside. When
you see something like that, it
kind of tests your ideas of what
is real. That really had the ele-
ment of a demonic signature to
it. Its just amazing how some of
the technology can really bring
this up to light.
Separating real from fake is
what draws these three investi-
gators in, and during Evans pre-
sentation, he will explain their
gear and display some ndings,
including an EVP (electronic
voice phenomenon) from near
that Monroe County spot of an
American Indian issuing a warn-
ing about a bad spirit nearby in
his native tongue, which APGR
had decoded by an American
Indian dialect expert.
Sending the recording out
to an expert is only part of the
APRGs extensive work because
we want stuff thats irrefut-
able, Sinclair said.
Id put my group up against
any group on TV, Evans said.
And we like to get the (para-
normal) groups in the area
together for a conference. W

movie review
S
imply even considering
to remake John Carpen-
ters The Thing re-
quires balls: Huge, massive,
dangerously swollen, please-
see-a-doctor balls. The kind
that cant be contained by
underwear and need to be
carried around on a silver
platter by a pair of dwarves in
tiny tuxedos because Carpen-
ters The Thing isnt the
kind of film that can be easily
improved upon or even repli-
cated.
A straight-forward remake
isnt going to work so, in ef-
fect, you need to take the con-
cept into a totally new direc-
tion or just say, Screw it and
turn the whole thing into a
Naked Gun-style parody
movie. Dutch filmmaker Mat-
thijs van Heijningen attempts
neither with his bland and
unasked for version of The
Thing.
Starting off with a sequence
that recalls the opening of
The Thing from Another
World, a Norwegian expedi-
tion finds a wrecked spaceship
and its alien pilot frozen in the
Antarctic. From there, a group
of American researchers led by
paleontologist Kate Lloyd
(Mary Elizabeth Winstead
who, on one hand, its nice to
see starring in a movie but on
the other, isnt exactly believ-
able as a no-nonsense badass)
is called in to assist with the
discovery. What they find out
is that the alien (or is it aliens?
The film is never clear about
this) isnt dead, but merely
resting and slowly starts to
take over the bodies of the
various researchers (who for
some reason or another all
resemble Liam Neeson in an
obscenely fake beard). With no
obvious clues to separate the
infected from the uninfected,
the alien(s) could be anyone.
Ostensibly a prequel to the
1982 original, the 2011 version
of The Thing is, in reality,
an indifferently lensed remake
that makes very little effort to
differentiate itself from its
inspiration. And whenever it
does attempt to step out of the
shadows of its predecessor, it
usually comes off as unin-
spired. For example, in Car-
penters movie, the test the
characters used to discover the
alien involved a jumping blood
sample. The 2011 version of
this scene basically amounts to
Winstead shining flashlights
into peoples mouths.
The Thing lacks a distinct
identity of its own, often fall-
ing into the same traps that
have plagued many mediocre
genre movies over the past 10
years. The characters are inter-
changeable and indistinguish-
able, theres an abundance of
fake scares that exist solely to
get a cheap jolt from the audi-
ence and in the most dis-
appointing development the
aliens are all rendered in un-
convincing CGI effects.
Apart from the underdevel-
oped, illogical storyline (What
exactly were the aliens moti-
vations? If he wanted to sim-
ply return to his spaceship,
why did he waste his time
murdering all those people
when he couldve disguised
himself as his first victim and
escaped without anyone being
the wiser?), the unappealing
CGI effects are the most an-
noying aspect of the 2011 film
and lack the gooey, organic
realness of the prosthetic ef-
fects found in the original.
But for all of its faults, The
Things greatest crime against
cinema-nity lies in the fact
that nobody from the 1982
version of The Thing ap-
pears in a brief cameo. Not
Kurt Russell, not Wilford
Brimley, not even the sassy
black guy on roller skates.
And really, if youre not will-
ing to throw the sassy, black
guy on roller skates even the
tiniest bone, then you deserve
to be beaten by a Julianne
Hough movie at the box office.

I
t is said that a rolling stone
gathers no moss. And nei-
ther, apparently, does the
band Jakesway. Less than three
years after forming, the group
has already released its second
CD, the appropriately titled It
May Get Loud. And though the
groups lead vocalist, Gary
Kaschak, says the band was
pleased with its debut album,
2009s Catching Wakefield, he
feels the new record is a much
more cohesive effort.
The first album was an accu-
mulation of original songs writ-
ten over different periods of
time, different periods of life
and different trains of thought,
he says. This album is pretty
much a moment in time, with
songs written for the album.
One train of thought led into a
song, which led into another
song. There was a period of
about a month or so when we
were just on fire, writing one
song after another and bouncing
things off of each other. And
before you knew it, we had 12
songs.
Jakesway, based out of Car-
bondale/Scranton, also features
Tom Herbert on drums and
vocals, Ricky Burnett on guitar
and vocals and Steve Kuna on
bass and vocals. Former guita-
rist John Yanochik appears on
the new CD and Annie Pagonis,
a friend of the band, co-wrote
several numbers. Kaschak says
that while some tracks on the
bands first album offered a bit
of country flair, the new CD
also differs in that department.
This particular album has a
little bit more of a rock edge to
it, he says. The sound, from
one song to another, sounds like
the Jakesway sound. Its defi-
nitely straightforward. It doesnt
jump around like the first al-
bum.
It May Get Loud was re-
corded at SI Studios in Old
Forge and was produced by the
band with Joe Wiggy Wegles-
ki and Tom Borthwick. Tracks
include So Simple So True,
Take It Back which was
co-written by Wegleski for an
independent film and You
And Me, which was written by
the groups friend, William
Kidder. Kaschak, who has a
songwriting credit on nine of
the albums 12 tracks, says the
inspiration for the music came
from all places.
Spontaneity, he says, when
asked what served as a muse.
Whatever hit us, whatever
stuck, and whatever we could
elaborate on, we just rolled with
it. With some songs, it was just
what we felt at the moment.
Though the bands members
have other jobs, Kaschak says
music has always been a huge
part of their lives.
Music is the only hobby I
have, he says. I dont go fish-
ing, I dont think about hunting.
I cant sit in the car without
having the radio on. And I cant
listen to a song without singing
along or creating my own har-
monies to it. I cant see myself
without having a guitar at the
house.
Jakesway names Crosby, Stills
& Nash, The Smithereens and
The Badlees as some of their
favorites. In addition to original
material, the band does covers
by acts such as Foo Fighters,
Kings of Leon, Green Day, Eve
6, Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox
Twenty and Social Distortion.
The group has performed at
Jads in Pittston, Heils in Dun-
more and Merts in Scranton.
More recently, its been per-
forming regularly at Welling-
tons in Clarks Summit, where
itll play Saturday, Oct. 22, and
The Coach in Carbondale,
where itll perform Saturday,
Oct. 29. The new album is
available at Gallery of Sound
stores and Gallucci Music in
Scranton and the band can be
found on Facebook.
Jakesway and everyone in-
volved are very excited about
this project, says Kaschak. We
hope people enjoy it. W

Williamsport-bred Candlelight
Red gained notoriety in 2010
when it was chosen as the win-
ner of a national contest and
scored the opening spot for Kiss
at one of its shows in Pitts-
burgh. Keeping that momentum
going, Candlelight Red recently
released its debut album, The
Wreckage, and is carving a
solid position for itself at the
cusp of the rock and metal
genres.
The Wreckage opens with a
brief instrumental intro, a tactic
some musicians use with little
success. But for Candlelight
Red, it serves as a simple pre-
amble to The Dirt, a punchy
number with heavy guitar licks
and a pushy chorus.
Both the opening and chorus
on Gone Forever give it a
contemporary edge, and its
mainstream appeal paves the
way for the rest of the record.
Emerging midway through the
album, the title track gives the
listener the first taste of serious
metal, with screaming vocals
and cogent drumming.
Bend and Break is brim-
ming with vocally forceful over-
tures that are complemented by
the tidy and tight guitar shreds,
and its guitar solo, though short,
is one of the best on the album.
Though the vocal strength of
lead singer Ryan Hoke is often
buried within the layers of com-
plex instrumentals, it makes a
brief but pleasant advent on
Scream, rounding out Candle-
light Reds appeal.
That appeal is also evident on
Shes Got the Look, a cover
of the 1989 Roxette song The
Look that closes the album.
Rock renditions of past pop hits
can either fly or flop, and with
this version, the band does the
former, offering a well-done
remake that toes the line rather
than crossing it.
The Wreckage is a show-
case of Candlelight Reds great-
est assets and serves as the
perfect platform for introducing
its unique blend of rock and
progressive metal. The band
offers a complete and capable
collection of songs that are so
tight, even a self-professed Brit-
ney Spears fan couldnt deny
the bands delightfully dark
talent.

Just in time for Halloween, legend-
ary punk rockers the Misfits has
released its latest album, The Dev-
ils Rain. For the third time in the
last decade, the former members are
doing their best to continue to devel-
op their own identity without former
lead singer Glenn Danzig. His role
in the group makes it too difficult
not to compare the original lineup
with the re-incarnated one, and the
latter falls woefully short once
again. While the season may be right
for things to rise from the grave, the
Misfits are one thing that should
have stayed put.
The album opens with the lacklus-
ter title track, and then limps along
through 15 more songs, most of
which sound forced and uninspired,
as though the band is writing music
as a duty. A few tracks, such as
Land of the Dead, Cold in Hell,
and Jack the Ripper are somewhat
listenable, with the occasional hook
here and there, but the majority of
the music on this album is fairly
harsh and difficult to enjoy.
The Devils Rain, along with all
of the Misfits post-Danzig work, is a
perfect example of how one person
really can make or break a band.
With Danzig in the group, it is one
of the most legendary punk bands of
all time, a little scary and pretty
damned cool. However, without him,
it is little more than a campy, car-
toonish joke. While many fans look
to the reformed band and wish that
it would be good somehow, it just
never really delivers, and continuing
to put albums out under the Misfits
name does nothing but ruin the
bands legacy.

Time to retire
Nikki Lanes journey took her from
South Carolina to Los Angeles and to the
corporate world of New York before she
settled in Nashville after a breakup to
make a living playing music and opening
her vintage boutique, High Class Hillbilly.
That journey helped shape her smash-
ing debut Walk of Shame, on which
Lane melds the ethereal vocals of Mazzy
Stars Hope Sandoval with the narrative
lyrics and moxie of Loretta Lynn.
The album gets a twangy start with the
ambling Lies. The title track, about
waking up in a strangers bed, has a jaunty
bassline, crunchy guitar and prominent
organ. Looks like hes starting to stir, I
better be long gone, Lane declares.
Coming Home To You, which has
pretty steel guitar, wouldnt be out of
place on classic-country radio while
Gone, Gone, Gone will resonate with
anyone who dreams of leaving their
hometown for the great wide open. The
swirling ballad Sleep For You precedes
the boozy, old-school country album
highlight, Look Away. On it, Lane sug-
gests that her guardian angel look away
because she might take a ride with the
devil tonight. Lanes pain is palpable on
the searing Save You as she nearly
wails, How can I save you?
Blue Star In The Sky, with gorgeous
piano throughout, twirls; a slight and
chugging electric guitar just under the
surface adds even more depth to this song
about loneliness. I Cant Be Satisfied is
a rocking finish to this fantastic album.
By not going the popular country-pop
route, Lane is a rough-and-tumble breath
of fresh air, one that could be from any
era but one whose sound is all her
own.

novel approach
W
ho is Barack Obama?
Many people have trou-
ble figuring out the
complex personality of the U.S.
president, so psychoanalyst Justin
A. Frank decided he would try.
Frank, a clinical professor of
psychiatry at George Washington
University Medical Center, stud-
ied Obamas memoirs, interviews
and biographies for clues to his
psyche. His new book, Obama
on the Couch: Inside the Mind of
the President, is sure to spur
lively discussions.
Frank assessed President Ge-
orge W. Bushs mental health in
his 2004 book, Bush on the
Couch, and concluded that he
was afflicted with megalomania.
He sees Obama as an admi-
rable man who is in excellent
mental health, especially consid-
ering the challenges he faced in
his formative childhood years.
Still, Frank says, Obama hasnt
overcome some of these early
challenges, and that is affecting
his presidency.
Every infant, he explains,
divides his new life experiences
into two categories: All good and
all bad with nothing in between.
As he grows, the infant learns to
integrate these divides and
achieve internal unity.
Frank says Obama went
through this process, but is still
struggling to integrate a black-
and-white racial divide within
himself. And that, the author
says, is behind what he sees as
the presidents relentless drive to
heal and unify racial, cultural
and political divides in the Unit-
ed States even at the cost of
his own agenda.
Frank says sons are often
taught how to recognize and
handle aggression both in
themselves and in others by
their fathers. Obama wasnt given
that chance, and in Franks opin-
ion, it resulted in his inability to
stand up to his opponents.
The author acknowledges there
are limitations by not analyzing
Obama in person, but defends the
approach, saying Sigmund Freud
analyzed Leonardo da Vinci, and
the CIA analyzes foreign leaders
to get a handle on their person-
alities.
One thing is clear: President
Obama makes a fascinating sub-
ject.

Style files
By Rachel A. Pugh
Weekender General Manager
Style Pick:
Angela Kay Wagner,
Dallas
A
ngela Kay Wagner
of Dallas considers
herself a perpetual
student. The
Weekender considers her a
perpetual representation of
true high fashion. Currently
employed at Bar Louie in the
Mohegan Sun Arena, Angela,
22, has also done some modeling
and worked with local fashion
photographer Jeff Dietz. Her
attention to detail is phenomenal,
and her ensembles from head
to toe would leave any fashion-
forward young woman envious,
which is why shes this weeks
Style Pick.
Favorite place to shop: Small
boutiques with one-of-a-kind
pieces.
Favorite accessory: Jackets,
keeping jewelry, hair and
makeup simple.
Favorite item currently in
closet: Knee-high boots for the
fall
WEEKENDER: How
important is fashion to you?
ANGELA: Fashion is not
only an expression of style, but
of who you are as an individual.
It is an outlet to your inner self
through outward appearance.
Whether one is inspired by
magazines, runway or street
fashion, the life you live is
manifested through the aesthetic.
How important is fashion to me?
Extremely.
WEEKENDER: What do
you feel makes someone
fashionable?
ANGELA: Individualism.
Fashion is never stagnant. The
ability to adapt and develop
ones personal style is what
inspires others to do the same.
My favorite outft: White sheer
chiffon bubble dress, rust-
colored jacket, key necklace
and ankle boots.
What I consider casual:
Hunter green blouse, dark
skinny jeans, knee-high fat
brown boots, turtle ring, key
necklace.
What I would go out in: Black-and-
white striped sleeveless blouse
with an open-back cut, a pair of
gray skinny pants, blue tailored,
notched lapel, one-button blazer,
elephant ring, gray-fringed heels.
PHOTOS BY RACHEL A. PUGH
Fashion should be inspirational.
Print ads are meant to make
you crave the models look, if
not recreate it from your own
wardrobe.
WEEKENDER: If you
could go on a shopping
spree, what three stores
would you choose and
why?
ANGELA: If Im limited to
three, Urban Outtters for their
unique T-shirts and dresses,
BCBG for their structured pants
and jackets and Louis Vuitton,
every girl needs a best friend by
her side. Mine just happens to be
a purse.
WEEKENDER: What
fashion advice would you
give a friend?
ANGELA: Wear pieces that
are timeless. Be daring and
different in your style. Do not be
afraid of what others think, but
take time to think about how you
are representing yourself through
clothing. Most importantly, be
yourself.
WEEKENDER: Do you
have any fashion pet
peeves?
ANGELA: Yes: Sweatpants.
WEEKENDER: Did you
go through any particular
fads? If so, what were they?
ANGELA: In high school,
everyone wore clogs and jean
skirts. Thank goodness those
days of conformity are over.
WEEKENDER: What outft
do you feel you look best
in?
ANGELA: Anything
structured suits, jackets and
slacks with a sky-high heel.
WEEKENDER: How
often do you clean out your
closet?
ANGELA: Once a year. Out
with the old, in with a lot of new.
WEEKENDER: How often
do you go shopping?
ANGELA: Weekly. Some
call it an addiction, I call it
catharsis.
WEEKENDER: How
would you describe your
look?
ANGELA: 1970s-inspired
European structure and color
meets New-York-City air.
Think high-waisted pants with a
bold, ow-y blouse and colored
heels. W

bitch & brag
By Jeff and Amanda of 98.5 KRZ
Special to the Weekender
Amandas Bitch:
Why do stores even bother
installing 20-plus checkout
aisles if they arent ever going
to open more than a couple at
a time even at their busiest?
With the holidays fast ap-
proaching, I think Im going to
save myself some hours of
standing in line waiting to
check out, and do most of my
shopping online. I often stop at
Wal-Mart (out of pure conve-
nience) before work to grab
some things I need, and I end
up waiting a solid 15 minutes
in the 20-items-or-less line.
Whos in charge there, and why
doesnt something go off in
their head when they see lines
starting to form that are six
carts deep and open another
register?
Now, with most stores like
Wal-Mart also having a grocery
department and many people
doing their food shopping there,
maybe there should be separate
grocery lanes at these super-
centers. Some of us dont have
carts full of $300 worth of food
piled in our carts that take
forever and a day to lug onto
the conveyer belt. Something to
think about, Wal-Mart! A self-
check out would even be nice
on those days when all you
need is one item. The holidays
are just around the corner, I
beg you now: Please bring a
few more employees on board,
and open more checkout lanes.
Ive been so tempted to just
leave the store and abandon my
full shopping cart after waiting
far too long to reach the regis-
ter. I just cant do it, knowing
someone will have to put it all
back and take another nec-
essary body away from a regis-
ter!
Jeffs Brag
Halloween is an awesome
holiday for adults! It doesnt
cost much (Christmas: Ugh),
and it doesnt take a Herculean
effort to get ready for. (Thanks-
giving: You really want to try
to shop and cook for 18 peo-
ple?)
Most of all, Halloween is fun
because its a time for the
grownups to play pretend. Its
your chance to be whatever or
whoever you want. How about
a superhero with bulging mus-
cles? Bam! Youre Superman!
Wishing you could be Tom
Brady? Strap on those shoulder
pads and helmet! Have a fasci-
nation with the dark side? Well,
this is your day! Pour on the
blood, the gore, the open
wounds theres no limit to
how creepy you can be. In fact,
creepiness is an attribute on
Halloween.
And for the ladies, well, lets
just say wow! Its your free
pass to let that inner ho out!
Its your chance to be every bit
as skanky as Rihanna or Ke$ha
or Britney Spears without any-
one passing judgment. Go
ahead, be that naughty nurse,
the skanky police girl with
fuzzy handcuffs or the naughty
fireman with thigh-high boots!
(Oh, yeah!) And from a guy
standpoint, its so much sexier
to see a normally classy woman
turn up the skank meter a few
notches. Its like the extra ex-
citement of an amateur night at
a strip club when a daring nov-
ice takes the floor. The place
goes wild (or so Im told).
About the only thing that
creeps me out on Halloween is
the extremely large number of
men that dress like women.
Gross. I always assume there is
some inner struggle going on
inside their head. And please,
dont even get me started on
the guys that dress as babies.
I havent decided what I will
be this year. In recent years,
Ive been an 80s rocker, a bad
plastic surgeon carrying around
bloody breast implants, and last
year, I was drenched in a gallon
of blood wearing a gas mask.
By the way, KRZ is hosting
the biggest and most famous
Halloween party in NEPA Mon-
day, Oct. 31 at The Woodlands
(1073 Route 315, Plains Twp.).
Doors open at 8 p.m. No ba-
bies please. W
Hear Jeff & Amanda Bitch
& Brag Fridays at 3:30 p.m. on
98.5 KRZ.
As if a gas masks not scary enough, Jeff, right, added a gallon of blood to his
costume last year.

Green piece
By Jen Stevens
Special to the Weekender
F
all is my favorite time
of the year, and its also
a great time to practice
eco-friendly living. From
decorations to family activ-
ities, there is lots to do and a
variety of different ways to
stay green. My first bit of
advice is to use local in-
gredients when baking apple
or pumpkin pies. I was able
to pick organic apples with
zero pesticides straight from
my parents apple trees.
Northeastern Pennsylvania
has a lot of local pumpkin
patches and apple orchards to
choose from, and by choos-
ing local, you can support
your local economy. Roba
Family Farms (RR 1 Box 247
Decker Road, Dalton) offers
a fall festival from now until
Halloween. There you will
find a corn maze, pumpkin
patch, hay rides, a farm ani-
mal center and even fall ac-
tivities for the kids. Braces
Orchard (444 Brace Road,
Dallas) offers a variety of
apples to pick from and even
make fresh apple cider.
Instead of buying fall deco-
rations, try getting natural
items like apples, pumpkins
and Indian corn. You can use
the Indian corn for a few
years, and when fall comes
to an end, you can use the
apples and pumpkins for
pies. Another great deco-
ration is to gather leaves and
foliage from around the
neighborhood. You can use
twigs, branches, nuts and
leaves for tabletop decora-
tions, or you can string them
together for a natural garland.
Mason jars, or just any
regular jars, are a great deco-
ration year round. For fall,
you can fill them with LED
lights, and by using wire,
hang them in trees or around
your porch. You can even
paint jack-o-lantern faces on
them to change it up and
stick to a Halloween theme.
Once youre finished read-
ing the Weekender, or any
newspaper for that matter,
you can get crafty while re-
cycling your newspaper. Pa-
per mache is simple, and all
its made out of is newspaper
and paste made from flour
and water. Balloons are a
good design frame to use if
you want to paper mache a
shape of a pumpkin.
One of the easiest ways to
recycle around Halloween is
to stop by your local Salva-
tion Army to pick up items
for your costume. Instead of
buying something new that
youll probably only wear
once, its worth checking out
gently used clothing to scav-
enge up something unique.
Craftster.org has some great
D-I-Y Halloween costume
tips.
If you dont have a big
budget for fall and Halloween
dcor, try to create things on
your own. Not only will you
save money, youll help the
planet out a little and even
have something hand made
that you can be proud of! W
Recycling the
harvest
Fall is the perfect time to
embrace nature,
especially when it comes
to decorating, getting
crafty and having some
eco-friendly fun.
