Letter from the editor
If I could go back in time and
tell 15-year-old me that I would
some day be casually chatting
with a Playboy Playmate on the
phone, I dont know how Id react
exactly, but I can tell you that it
would involve a lot of laughing
and a lot of questions about time
travel.
Its funny where life can take
you, as our cover girl Britany
Nola can attest. A Hawley resi-
dent just three years ago, shes
now on the centerfold of the big-
gest adult magazine of all time. I
wonder if 15-year-old Britany
would also be laughing in dis-
belief.
Whether youre a model or a
writer or a band like Motionless
In White, also featured in this
issue as they head out on their
first headlining U.S. tour, its clear
that you can do anything you want
if youre willing to put the time
and effort in. Some of it may be
chance, sure, but hard work gets
recognized eventually no matter
what profession you choose.
Whether its NEPA or LA, do
what you love and success will
find you. If your goal is to invent
time travel, please let me know
when that success comes. Id like
to talk to a skinny little nerd who
could use such a message.

TALKING DEAD
If you havent seen the latest
episode of AMCs The Walking
Dead, then this is your spoiler
warning. Do not read further
unless youve seen the Nov. 4
episode Killer Within.
Still with us? Well, we were
heartbroken when Theodore
T-Dog Douglas, played by
IronE Singleton, bit the big one
(or, rather, was bitten himself) to
save his friend, Carol Peletier.
Just as his character started see-
ing some development this sea-
son, he was killed off before we
could learn more about him.
The Weekender interviewed
The Blind Side star in Septem-
ber before his appearance at the
Infect Scranton zombie conven-
tion, and while he couldnt say
much about the popular shows
third season, he did actually give
us a hint regarding his fate in the
interview:
T-Dogs a good guy. T-Dog
has experienced a lot of hard-
shipcomparing it to my life
story. T-Dog is one that is willing
to make the ultimate sacrifice if
its going to help someone else or
to better help humanity. He has a
great heart, and hes all about
right over wrong, good over evil,
Singleton said at the time.
During our coverage, he was
very gracious with his time and
was thrilled to meet local fans
throughout the weekend, even
getting a little muddy at the
Zombie Survivor Challenge
obstacle course in Taylor on
Sept. 22. We wish him the best of
luck in his future career.
ROCK OUT WITH
YOUR107 OUT
Following a successful show
with Sweatheart opening for The
Darkness on Oct. 20 at Terminal
5 in New York City, Scrantons
own Brian Langan will be com-
ing home on Nov. 9 to play with
Kock 107 at The Bog (341
Adams Ave., Scranton) at 9 p.m.
Known for The Sw!ms and
Langor, Kock 107 is one of Lan-
gans many musical outlets,
though this band, which includes
several other local musician like
Pat Finnerty and Mike Quinn,
covers classic rock artists like
Aerosmith, Foreigner, and Thin
Lizzy.
Weve just seen 35 percent of
the world and now were coming
home for some Steamtown elec-
tric lovin! the band exclaimed
on Facebook. For more details,

events/375400359208480.
SQUEAKY CLEAN
The Scranton Cultural Center
(420 N. Washington Ave., Scran-
ton) announced on Tuesday that
this months edition of Up &
Coming Comedy will be its first
ever clean show, featuring Fran-
kie Pace with John King on
Saturday, Nov. 10 at 8 p.m. with a
cocktail hour and music begin-
ning at 7 p.m. Tickets are $16.
Headliner Frankie Pace ap-
peared on Saturday Night Live
in his first national performance
and went on to appear on Show
Offs and Rick Shaws Takeout
Theatre. Pace has worked with
Robin Williams, Cheech and
Chong, Whoopi Goldberg, Gla-
dys Knight, and Penn and Teller
and is a regular at New York
Citys The Comic Strip and
The Improvisation.
Opener John King describes
himself as an Army veteran,
actor, musician, substitute teach-
er, and bad credit risk, according
to a press release, integrating
stand-up with songs and parodies
in his innovative comedic style.
W
Walking Dead actor IronE Singleton spent some time in Scranton in September for
the Infect Scranton zombie convention.

STRANGE CRIME STORIES & MORE
Chuck Shepherd | Weekender Wire Services
DISGRACED, NOT
CONTRITE
Chutzpah! The former police
chief of Bell, Calif., Randy
Adams, had resigned in disgrace
after prosecutors charged eight
other city officials with looting
the municipal budget. Adams
had been recruited by the alleged
miscreants (at a sweetheart salary
twice what he made as police
chief of much larger Glendale),
and his resignation left him with
a generous state pension of
$240,000 a year. Rather than
quietly accept the payout, Adams
immediately appealed to a state
pension panel, claiming that his
one inexplicably rich year in Bell
had actually upped his pension to
$510,000 a year. In September,
with a straight face, Adams
pleaded his case to the panel, but
20 times during the questioning
invoked his right not to incrimi-
nate himself.
DOCS JUST WANT TO
HAVE FUN
A15-year-old Swedish student,
working at Malmo University
Hospital on a practical work-
life internship, was allowed by a
doctor to make part of the in-
cision for a cesarean section
childbirth and to examine the
patient vaginally. One alarmed
cesarean patient alerted news
media after reading about the
orientation program in May and
wondering if she had been a
hands-on patient.
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN
IRS agents, investigating tax-
fraud suspect Rashia Wilson, 26,
turned up thousands of identi-
fication numbers in a September
home search in Tampa. Wilson
had already laid down a chal-
lenge in May, when she wrote on
Facebook: Im Rashia, the
queen of IRS tax fraud. (Im) a
millionaire for the record. So if
you think that indicting me will
be easy, it wont. I promise you. I
wont do no time, dumb (exple-
tive unpublished). The search
also turned up a handgun, and
since Wilson is a convicted felon
(with 40 arrests), she was jailed,
and denied bail in part because of
the Facebook post.
AN APP FOR EVERYTHING
In development now, accord-
ing to Harvard freshman Olenka
Polak, is a Code Red app that
creates an exchange network so
that women and girls who find
themselves unexpectedly spotting
can locate an emergency source
for a tampon or pad.
RELIGIOUS MESSAGES
The U.S. Supreme Court has
ruled that an insane person can-
not be executed, no matter how
heinous the crime, because he
cannot understand why he was
being killed. Notwithstanding
that, Florida Judge David Glant
has ordered John Ferguson, 64, to
death for a 1978 multiple-murder
conviction, despite evaluations
from 30 doctors that Ferguson is
an insane paranoid schizophren-
ic. (At press time, the U.S. Court
of Appeals is considering Fergu-
sons lawyers last-second chal-
lenge.) Judge Glant acknowl-
edges that Ferguson is delusional,
but found that he nevertheless
understands why he is being
executed. Fergusons belief in a
Jesus-like resurrection upon
death, with a glorious afterlife, is
not, Glant said, so significantly
different from beliefs (that) other
Christians may hold so as to
consider it a sign of insanity.

A teenager, apparently fed up
with his parents commandeering
of their homes basement for an
elaborate marijuana-growing
operation, turned the couple in in
August. The Doylestown Town-
ship, Pa., couple (a chiropractor
mom and software engineer dad)
had sophisticated hardware and
18 plants.
FIRST-WORLD PROBLEMS
America now has about 700
pet aftercare facilities, provid-
ing funeral services to the na-
tions companion animals, ac-
cording to a September NBC
News report. Oakeys, in Roa-
noke, Va., performs 800 to 900
pet cremations annually and
provides about 20 customers a
year with pet caskets, part of the
estimated $53 billion America
spends on pets (higher than the
Gross National Products of more
than 100 countries). The basic
charge of Heartland Pet Crema-
tion of St Louis is $275 for a
private cremation, including a
basic urn and memorial video
slideshow. (For the more upscale,
other facilities offer deluxe urns,
taxidermy, freeze-drying pets and
creating a synthetic diamond out
of pet ashes.)
CRANK CALL
Gareth Lloyd, 49, admitted that
he is the one who made about
5,800 random phone calls (over a
90-day period -- averaging 64 a
day!) to people just to listen to
their reactions when he told them
that his penis was stuck in a
household object (usually jars or
a vacuum cleaner). A Flintshire,
Wales, court sentenced Lloyd
only to probation (with restric-
tions on telephone use).
W
REGRETFUL ROBBER
Two men robbing an Open Pantry store in Madison,
Wis., in October escaped, but with less money than
they came with. The lead thief grabbed a handful of
cash that the clerk had been counting when the
pair entered. The clerk pleaded, then sternly de-
manded that the man give back the money. The
thief thought for a moment, became remorseful,
threw all the money in his pocket to the floor, and
fled. The clerk told police that when she re-counted
the money, there was $1 more than in her original
count, meaning that the thief had accidentally
tossed in a dollar of his own. W

tech talk
By Nick Delorenzo
Special to the Weekender
In times of disaster or impend-
ing disaster, technology can be a
blessing. But its benefits can be
lost in the blink of an eye, or the
click of a breaker.
Sure, we have satellites, Dop-
pler radar, high-powered comput-
er modeling and networks of
weather sensors that allow us to
see trouble brewing days before
the first cloud appears in the sky.
We have numerous ways to
quickly spread information
television, text messaging, e-
mail, Twitter and Facebook
among others. Being able to send
information from the field during
emergencies is also a huge aid to
disaster and recovery workers
so its easy to see all of the ways
that technology can be helpful
during a crisis.
Unfortunately, its easy to
become over reliant on the con-
venience of having all of this
information at our fingertips.
The same infrastructure that
carries all of our beloved tweets,
e-mails, phone calls, TV pro-
grams and texts is highly vul-
nerable to things like wind and
water which, if all the reports
are to be believed, we will be
receiving in large amounts as this
goes to print.
If you lose something as fun-
damental as electrical power,
youre immediately deprived of a
large portion of that information
your smartphone and laptop
might hold out for a while, but
will you still have an Internet
connection? And lets say your
smartphone can get a signal
how long will your battery last?
If youre someone whos highly
dependent on technology in your
day-to-day life (and youre prob-
ably more dependant than you
realize) having a generator is
probably a good idea, but dont
count on having continued In-
ternet access even if you manage
to have power.
Younger people, especially,
may find their only working
radio is in their vehicle and lack
a landline phone which might
continue operating without elec-
tricity.
The bottom line when it comes
to emergency preparedness is:
Technology is nice, but basics are
better. You still need flashlights
and candles. You still need bat-
teries and a regular radio. In an
emergency, all of the modern
conveniences are just that con-
veniences. Use them if you have
them, but be prepared to lose
them at a moments notice. An
iPad cant keep you warm, and
your Droid is next to useless if
theres no phone or Internet con-
nection.

By Rich Howells
Weekender Editor
T
he last time Scranton
metalcore outt
Motionless In
White played a show in their
hometown, the Vans Warped
Tour was hit by a lightning
storm. Frontman Chris
Motionless has been eager to
make-up the rained out set to
local fans since, and hell have
the opportunity to do so during
their rst U.S. headlining tour,
which stops at the Sherman
Theater (524 Main St.,
Stroudsburg) on Nov. 10.
The Weekender caught up
with the energetic singer earlier
this week to talk about the
two-month tour and their new
album, Infamous, which hits
stores Nov. 13 and contains
a few surprises for longtime
followers.
The Weekender: What are
you looking forward to most
about this tour?
Chris Motionless: Pretty
much just going out there
and nally headlining. Weve
been a support tour for the
past career of our band. Weve
headlined some shows in some
small things, but never a full
U.S. tour. Weve headlined
other countries before weve
headlined America. Its a pretty
big build-up of just wanting to
go out there and get it done and
prove our worth.
W: How did you choose the
supporting bands on this tour?
CM: Chelsea Grin has been
friends with us for quite a while
and theyre doing really great,
so we wanted to bring them
out and get them involved.
And then another band thats
on the tour, Stick to You Guns,
Im a personal gigantic of, so
I pushed for them. I think that
theyre denitely going to help
bring a new dynamic to the tour
because their fans are a little bit
different than our fans. Most of
them actually hate us, so I think
it will be pretty hilarious. The
other bands were suggested by
our label and management.
W: When did you start
working on the new album?
CM: We started recording it
in January, and it kind of was
like an off and on process from
January until August, actually,
because we kept having a bunch
of tours booked in between
studio dates.
W: What inspired the songs
on this record?
CM: Just a lot of my thoughts
on life in general. When
anybody asks if theres a theme
to it, its just easier to say life
in general because on the last
record that we did I did a lot
of songs that were based off of
movie characters in the literary
world and whatnot. This record
I wanted to do something a
little bit more real that people
could really connect to based on
the fact that it wasnt coming
from some sort of character.
It was coming from an actual
person.
W: How has the bands sound
progressed?
CM: Its really, really
different. Therere denitely
a lot of the heavier aspects of
our bands that youll hear. Its
got a lot of the same s--t that
you heard on Creatures, just
in a different way. And then
t d t th i l d
Motionless
embrace the infamy
therere a couple songs that are
just altogether different that
are not in any way what people
are used to our band sounding
like, but at the same time, make
perfect sense if you think about
it. Its just a step in a bigger,
better direction. My main goal
when I was writing the music
was I didnt want to write the
same record again.
W: Why title it Infamous?
CM: Just looking at our
band and trying to nd a word
that really denes what we are.
I feel like more people hate
us than like us. I dont know
if thats true, but it certainly
seems that way on the Internet,
that were a pretty hated band. I
guess you kind of have to be in
some sort of spotlight to have
that many people f--king hate
you and also have that many
people like you, so its just a
word that really struck me.
W: It seems like you guys
kind of revel in that infamy,
though.
CM: Yeah. I like to embrace
the negative things that come
my way. Theres a lot of s--t
that does bother me and does
p--s me off. Its denitely a big

Being someone who has played
with bands like the Range, the
Noisemakers, and the Grateful
Dead, Bruce Hornsby isnt exactly
known for being a solo artist.
Sure, the tight musicianship of
everyone hes involved with
makes for an excellent night out,
but outside of a band setting, there
is much more going on for Horn-
sby than people realize.
Hes a gifted classical, jazz and
rock pianist who is capable of
putting in mesmerizing solo per-
formances, like he did on Nov. 2
at the F.M. Kirby Center.
Beginning the night right
around 8 p.m. with something that
may be a bit obscure to his fans
contemporary classical material
Hornsby made brilliant runs
through pieces like Concerto by
Arnold Schoenberg and Cate-
naires by Elliot Carter.
With the show being simply
Hornsby and his Steinway and
Sons piano, it allowed the singer-
songwriter to branch out into
some of his favorite compositions
while still appeasing the crowd
with hits, like Don Henleys End
of the Innocence, which Hornsby
co-wrote in 1989.
Showing his humorous side
(which was evident throughout his
banter with the audience), Horn-
sby delivered two cuts from his
2007 musical SCKBSTD in-
cluding a witty Wheres the Bat,
and a softer Continents Drift,
which led into a brief snippet of
Tie A Yellow Ribbon.
Hornsby paid tribute to the
influence the Grateful Dead gave
him by doing an almost jug band-
like performance of his early hit
The Valley Road, which Horn-
sby said was the way the Dead
did it. Another early favorite,
The Show Goes On, meshed
perfectly with Hymn In C, a cut
from the Red Hook Summer
soundtrack, which Hornsby
scored for famed director Spike
Lee.
The hits had a more prominent
presence in the second half of the
set list, starting with his Top Five
fan favorite, Mandolin Rain.
Hornsby did a fine job of rear-
ranging Mandolin Rain into a
moving, almost haunting show
highlight. He then changed over
to bluegrass piano for a pleasing
take on Jimmy Martins 20/20
Vision (and Walking Around
Blind), before dipping back into
his own catalogue for a splendid
A Night on the Town.
Calling it his favorite artist
collaboration, Hornsby delivered
what many felt was the highpoint
of the show when he performed a
poignant version of the Bonnie
Raitt classic I Cant Make You
Love Me.
After the Raitt chestnut, Horn-
sby spoke about the song hes
most known for, but also playfully
pointed out how it has become a
go-to for hip-hop artists recent-
ly Tupac Shakur had a bigger
hit with it than I did! before
breaking into an intimate run
through The Way It Is complete
with a swift classical segue in the
middle.
Again paying homage to his
Dead days, Hornsby shared a
story of a group of Deadheads
telling him that his playing sound-
ed like a spider playing the piano
between Scarlet Begonias and
Fire on the Mountain, which he
found amusing enough to write
the song Spider Fingers. Joking-
ly referencing parts of George
Jones shows where Jones leaves
the stage to his band to play in-
strumental music, Hornsby
breezed through Jones He Stop-
ped Loving Her Today, The
Grand Tour, and a rousing Just
One More.
Wrapping at about 10:15 p.m.,
Hornsby gave one final nod to his
days with the Dead with a moving
take on the Robert Hunter/Jerry
Garcia gem Standing on the
Moon, which saw the songs
ending coda meld flawlessly into
Hornsbys often-overlooked cut
Halcyon Days.
For the roughly 900 people in
attendance, the song perfectly
capped off a night of story-telling,
jokes, and elegant music which
Hornsby delivered in the most
intimate of settings.

Take a trip back in time
Emerging from the outskirts of the Philadelphia area, Flux represents a ferocious new sound resonating
from ancient mysticism to futuristic visions obtained through lucid dreaming. Flux has gained an expand-
ing fan base by touring the East Coast and Midwest, headlining festivals and by hosting various parties
dubbed as encounters where you can find the band jamming and experimenting late into the night.
Highly influenced by the current psychedelic movement, the three brothers share a unique connection that
allows them to fuse groove intensity with ambient swirling effects and almost hypnotic singing.
The band will be playing at the River Street Jazz Caf (667 North River St., Plains) on Thursday, Nov. 8 at
10 p.m. Doors open at 8 p.m. and tickets are $5.

The members of 80s hard
rock powerhouse Dokken created
some great music together, even
if they werent all exactly getting
along. Its no secret that bad
blood coursed between guitarist
George Lynch and vocalist Don
Dokken for years, and several
attempts at reuniting the classic
lineup proved futile since their
initial breakup in 1988. The
remaining members along with
Lynch, bassist Jeff Pilson and
drummer Mick Brown, continued
to play together in various in-
carnations while Pilson and
Brown continued to tread water
with revolving Dokken lineups.
Now, Lynch, Pilson, and
Brown, in what must seem like
the ultimate middle finger to old
Don, have come together under
the moniker T&N, recording
Slave To The Empire an
album consisting of fresh takes
on old-school Dokken material
as well as some heavy new tracks
that pay homage to their melodic
rock past, laced with contempo-
rary nuts and bolts grooves and
progressive-edged marksman-
ship.
Pilson handles vocals on the
new songs, while guests like
Kings X frontman Doug Pinnick
puts his soulful grunt on Dokken
re-records like Tooth and Nail.
Other notable cameos, like Se-
bastian Bachs viciously harmo-
nious spin on the 1984 hit Along
Again, might cause the listener
to decide these new gems could
be the definitive versions of each
song theyre that good.
The new material gleams as
well. Tracks like When Eagles
Die feature Lynchs finger-
twisting guitar leads over a del-
icate acoustic bed, while
Rhythm of the Soul throbs
with a wide-open groove and
Pilsons quite capable vocals,
which resonate even more when
he harmonizes his leads. There
are obviously traces of Dokken
past, but the new output more
closely resembles each musi-
cians current projects, like
Lynchs own Lynch Mob and the
Lynch/Pilson collaboration from
a few years ago called Wicked
Underground. Beyond compari-
sons, though, the new material is
Active Rock-ready, with enough
voltage to be Breaking the
Chains of Dokken past.

Top 10 Albums at Gallery of Sound
Perhaps one of the biggest challenges
young bands face is setting a tone without
rewriting the same song over and over
again. On the Fifty, which has just re-
leased its first EP titled Fast Hands, Bad
Timing, has managed to master that feat
with help from producer Anthony Raneri
of punk band Bayside.
On the Fifty Tim Dolan (vocals/
guitar), Tom Dambro (guitar), John Kan-
tar (bass), and Anthony Imperato (drums)
recorded the five tracks in New York
during the members winter break from
college last year.
As cliche as it sounds, Fast Hands,
Bad Timing starts off with a bang, a riff
that could easily be on a Rise Against,
Title Fight or even a Bayside record.
Dolans distinct voice sets the tone for
whats to come on the five tracks and
hooks you to listen to all of them.
Songs Things Get Wet in the Ocean
and D Song seem to lean towards the
modern rock genre (think a hint of Shine-
down), which shows the diverse potential
in this young group. Meanwhile, Blue
Roses and The Future have lead guitar
riffs from Dambro that fit in with The
Ramones and Green Day.
The Future is a great album ender, as
it sums up just how you feel after listen-
ing to the record straight through. It al-
lows you to daydream about the past and
wonder about the future all at the same
time.
Overall, Fast Hands, Bad Timing is
one of the better EPs in the punk rock
genre this year, particularly for a new act
on the scene. W

You remember Cody ChesnuTT:
Hes the guitar-slinging soul man who
came up with the killer riffage on
The Seed, the deathless track off his
2002 double-album debut The Head-
phone Masterpiece that appeared in
altered form on the Roots Phrenol-
ogy (and is still a centerpiece of the
bands live show).
Landing on a Hundred is Ches-
nuTTs f irst full-length album in a
decade, and like his debut, its a self-
released effort by the Atlanta native
that genre-blends R&B, soul, and
rock, f iltered through its auteurs
gruff and sweet vocal maneuvers and
his idiosyncratic sensibility.
Ten years down the road on a Kick-
starter-funded effort that was cut at
the Memphis studios where Al Green
recorded his hits, ChesnuTT doesnt
come off as forward-thinking as he
once did. But the musical questions
he asks on the smooth What Kind of
Cool (Will We Think of Next) and
Where is All the Money Going? are
timeless.

Bullying doesnt disappear as
we all get older. There is a mis-
conception in the minds of some
that bullying is something only
children experience.
Erin Davies knows that isnt
the case.
In 2007, Davies, then a Sage
College of Albany graduate
student, found her Volkswagen
Beetle vandalized. The word
FAG was spray-painted on her
driver-side window, while the
phrase U R GAY was scrawled
across the hood.
Naturally, Davies was upset
and planned to remove the graffi-
ti posthaste. Somewhere along
the line, though, plans changed.
I spent a year driving the car
cross-country with the graffiti
still on it. The idea was to force a
conversation. That conversation
would start wherever the car was.
People would see the graffiti and
have really emotional reactions,
Davies said. By keeping the
graffiti on the car, it made people
feel the same discomfort I felt.
During her road trip, Davies
interviewed the people she en-
countered, everyday people at gas
stations and hotels whose reac-
tions ranged from outrage and
disgust to sympathy and support.
The product of Davies experi-
ment? Fagbug, an 83-minute
documentary that will screen at
the club Twist in Wilkes-Barre
this Friday night, Nov. 9. A pre-
sentation of the NEPA Rainbow
Alliances SafeZone Youth Em-
powerment Program, Davies
herself will be present, along
with the now rainbow-colored
Fagbug, which she still drives,
to host the screening and take
part in a discussion.
Shes taken the personal activ-
ist thing to a whole new level. Its
a very visible, very candid con-
versation that she has with the
community that the community
can learn from, John Dawe,
executive director of the NEPA
Rainbow Alliance, said.
Dawe is also manager of the
Anti-Bullying Coalition of Lu-
zerne County, a group which will
host its own film screening in
this case, the Lee Hirsch-directed
documentary Bully at the
F.M. Kirby Center in Wilkes-
Barre on Thursday, Nov. 8.
Though the screenings are not
formally connected, they are
linked nonetheless by a shared
theme. While Fagbug spot-
lights the issue of bullying
amongst a specific segment of
society, Bully tackles the
broader issue of bullying in gen-
eral.
It pulls no punches, Michael
Zimmerman said, stressing that
Bully, though rated PG-13,
deals with weighty subjects like
suicide and school violence in a
serious and unflinching manner.
The film does a good job of
portraying the feelings of people
who are bullied and the reality of
what goes on with bullying in our
schools and our community at
large. It draws up a lot of strong
emotions.
Zimmerman is executive direc-
tor of the Family Service Associ-
ation of Wyoming Valley, which,
like the NEPA Rainbow Alliance,
is a member of the Anti-Bullying
Coalition.
For the Bully screening,
which is also comprised of a
pre-film discussion and a post-
film forum, Zimmerman is coor-
dinating representatives from
Catholic Social Services, Com-
munity Counseling Services,
Northeast Counseling Services,
Childrens Service Center, and
the Family Service Association.
The representatives will be pre-
sent to provide information, take
part in the discussions, and offer
one-on-one counseling.
Bullying happens all the time,
no matter what age, no matter
what demographic. However, its
kids that are most at risk, Dawe
said. Hopefully, when youre out
of high school or college and in
the real world, youve devel-
oped skills to cope with and
process bullying. The reason a lot
of anti-bullying efforts are fo-
cused on kids is because a 10-
year-old isnt going to understand
whats happening as well, or how
to deal with it.
Davies shares Dawes empha-
sis.
The reason I did Fagbug is
for younger kids to see it and see
that they can turn these experi-
ences into something positive,
she said.
When these things happen, I
think most people feel shame. A
lot of kids are driven to suicide.
What I did is turn the tables on it.
I encourage people to document
when these things happen. If we
dont, people think it never takes
place. How can we find a solu-
tion to a problem if we dont
admit it really exists?

movie review
When Disney acquired Pix-
ar, their in-house feature ani-
mation division started to
resemble a contingency plan.
Films like Meet the Rob-
insons and Chicken Little
reflected this secondary,
plan-B status by being little
more than entertainment
placeholders products of a
corporation thats merely bid-
ing its time and dreading the
day when John Lasseter and
his Pixar crew refuse to pro-
duce Cars 5 and successful-
ly navigate through the razor
wire maze that leads to the
exit of the Pixar Animation
Bunker.
However, things have
changed within the past cou-
ple of years. As Pixars output
slowly grows more cynically
calculated and commercial,
Disney is, once again, starting
to find its own voice. Wreck-
It Ralph marks the first time
in a long time that Disneys
in-house staff hasnt made the
kind of suitably entertaining
movie that parents reluctantly
show their children when they
cant find their copy of Find-
ing Nemo.
After 30 years of playing
the Donkey Kong-ish villain
in a fictional video game
called Fix-It Felix Jr.,
Wreck-It Ralph (John C. Reil-
ly) wants to be seen as more
than just a monstrous hobo
who literally destroys every-
thing he touches. In order to
prove that he can be a hero,
Ralph leaves his video game
behind and covertly becomes
a part of a First Person Shoo-
ter that resembles a cross
between Halo and Gears of
War.
Even though hes unaccus-
tomed to the fast pace and
non-stop violence of this new
video game world, Ralph still
manages to win himself a
medal (Well, win is kind of
a strong word. Steal is prob-
ably a bit more accurate).
Unfortunately, once he ac-
quires the medal, Ralphs
oafishness causes him to
stumble into an escape pod
that takes him to the candy-
colored world of Sugar
Rush. While there, he en-
counters Vanellope Von
Schweetz (Sara Silverman), a
glitchy videogame character
who runs off with his medal
and uses it to enter herself
into a Mario Kart-style
race. But as Ralph attempts to
get his medal back, Fix-It
Felix Jr. is on the verge of
being unplugged, which
means that Ralph and the rest
of the Fix-It Felix gang
could soon be homeless.
Wreck-It Ralph couldve
easily coasted on the goodwill
of peoples nostalgia and turn-
ed into something far more
smug and self-congratulatory.
There are plenty of jokey
cameos from such classic
video game characters as Q-
Bert, Dig-Dug, and that bear
from Crystal Castles. It
name checks obvious nerd-
pleasers like the Konami code
and theres even a minor char-
acter that is clearly based on
Twin Galaxies founder Walter
Day. But thankfully, Wreck-It
Ralph realizes theres more
to a movie than just the cheap
thrill of watching Street
Fighters Ken solemnly share
a drink with Ryu at the bar
from Tapper. Beneath the
in-jokes and references lurks
an engaging storyline with a
complicated protagonist who
is genuinely kindhearted but
also neurotic, insecure, and
somewhat bitter. The films
tone is frequently bittersweet,
especially whenever it reveals
just how awful it would be to
live in a video game. Its re-
petitive, death lurks behind
every corner, and every mun-
dane chore is now a mini-
game, which sounds like it
could be fun until you realize
that you not only have to de-
tail your car with a gun that
shoots icing but you have to
do it within the 30-second
time limit.
Crafted by a veritable mur-
derers row of talent that in-
cludes former Futurama
director Rich Moore and ani-
mation great Jim Reardon
(whose short film Bring Me
the Head of Charlie Brown
deserves a wider audience),
Wreck-It Ralph is every-
thing an animated movie
should be: its smart, its fun,
and it cleverly subverts its
own product placement (two
characters nearly drown in
Nestles Quiksand). Parents,
take your children to see this
or they will hate you.

ENTERTAINMENT REPORT
Ralphie Aversa | Special to the Weekender
Hes done TV, hes done radio,
and heck, hes certainly done the
Internet. But after finding his
single, Gangnam Style, stuck
at number two on the Billboard
Hot 100 for the past six weeks,
South Korean sensation Psy is
doing it all over again.
How come they play Maroon
5 so much in United States? the
K-Pop star jokingly asked in an
interview on The Ralphie
Show, slightly mispronouncing
maroon in the process. One
More Night has held on to the
top spot. At some point Im
thinking like, Wow, how can I
stay that long at number two?
Is this some kind of Truman
Show or something like that?
You cant blame the artist, born
Park Jae-Sang, for thinking that
TV cameras might be secretly
following him around. Prior to
Gangnam Style, the 34-year-
old topped the Korean charts
about a half-dozen times but
never came close to the success
he is currently having. As of
Tuesday, the video had over 650
million views and near five mil-
lion likes. This is unpreceden-
ted for anyone, let alone a rela-
tively unknown artist from a
country that has cultivated so
many K-Pop stars, with none
of them breaking in to the U.S.
What is even crazier is Amer-
icans have latched on to the song
simply for the video and dance,
along with the infectious beat.
Most of the lyrics are in Korean.
If I perform this song in dif-
ferent countries, I feel happy and
sorry at the same time because
yunno (the audience) looks so
happy, so Im happy with that,
explained Psy. They dont have
any idea what Im talking about,
right? What I thought was they
might have their own version of
lyrics when Im singing this.
U.S. fans of the song and video
have other questions as well: one
was floated my way on Facebook
about why Psy appears to be
screaming at one of his backup
dancers butts in the music video.
The butt was so mad at me,
he replied with clearly something
lost in translation. They were
doing some erotic stuff and it
teased me, the butt teased me. So
I was like, Hey, stop doing that!
I yelled at the butt.
So this is the stuff that 650
million view videos on YouTube
are made of.

Psys Gangnam Style video sure has blown up.

me, the butt teased me. So I was like, Hey, stop

novel approach
theater listings
John Banville, author and
winner of the Man Booker Prize,
presents readers with the final
installment of a trilogy, Ancient
Light, a novel about the power
of memory.
The novel highlights the life of
Alexander Cleave, a reputable
actor nearing retirement. He
begins to reflect on his life before
memories of his first love to his
first loss.
In the present, Alexander is
compelled by the idea of finding
an old flame: I should like to be
in love again. I should like to fall
in love again, just once more.
This promptly takes readers to
Alexanders past the exact
moment he fell in love, to the
exact moment he lost it all.
While the plot itself is slow
moving, the change of time is
distinct. We move from present
day to the past when Alexander
is 15-years-old. Love, which has
no shortage of heartache, be-
comes even more unsettling
when Alexander finds himself
gravitating towards a woman
twice his age.
We find that the woman Mrs.
Gray is none other than his best
friends mother. Against the good
judgment of both parties, an
intimate relationship ensues.
Even though Banville evokes a
subtle humor throughout the
work, it becomes apparent from
the start that the relationship will
end tragically.
Unfortunately, Alexanders
recollection of the relationship
proves futile. Readers realize that
his happy memories are more
illusion than truth. He fails to
illuminate the failures of his
relationship with Mrs. Gray,
leading to a recurrence of issues
with every relationship that fol-
lows.
There are numerous aspects of
the novel that are enthralling; of
particular note is Banvilles strik-
ing prose and character devel-
opment. But, with any well-
thought plot comes conflict.
While Alexander maintains his
longtime marriage to Lydia, their
relationship grows estranged
following the ill-fated death of
their daughter, Cass.
Arguably, the novels main
focus regards memory and how
those events form our identity. In
Alexanders case, his memories
result in a revelation that unveils
the lies he has told himself since
the beginning that have thwarted
his emotional relationship with
others.
Throughout the novel, Banville
gradually weaves the plot, ulti-
mately unveiling the devastation
of one man against his memories.
The title of the novel becomes
appropriate in that readers, simi-
lar to Alexanders stage audience,
see his brilliant performance
from the seats. Eventually, how-
ever, all walls come down and as
we read forward, we foresee the
train wreck looming ahead. We
watch Alexanders life play out
behind the curtains a place of
absolute vulnerability.

dalous affair all the mak-
ings of must-see, prime-time
drama, but youll have to
break away from your TV to
watch this one. The Actors
Circle at Providence Play-
house (1256 Providence Rd.,
Scranton) is presenting the
drama-driven Any Wednes-
day opening tomorrow night
and running though Nov. 18.
The story centers on John,
the president of a large cor-
poration who finds himself in
quite a delicate situation up-
on the discovery of his mis-
tress. Any Wednesday may
be set back in the 1960s, but
the themes are more than
relevant today, as so many in
power consistently lead dou-
ble lives.
I think some of the
themes persist not only in the
political world, but in the
business world and any world
you choose to think about
relationships, marriage, in-
fidelity in how its handled
and what the end might be,
noted director Cody Brooks.
Its certainly been highlight-
ed in the political world with
(former President Bill) Clin-
ton.
Being described as a farci-
cal comedy, Any Wednes-
day surely isnt just about
the drama. The tangled web
woven by John takes you into
a story full of irony and de-
ceit, which you cant help but
laugh at.
What happens is John has
a young girl as his mistress;
he has her living in what he
calls the executive suite. A
new secretary at his company
mistakenly sends a younger
fellow (the co-owner of a
business that John has threat-
ened to close for tax purpos-
es) to the suite where he
comes upon the mistress,
explained Brooks. In turn,
that same day the secretary
sends Johns wife to the suite
and she concludes that the
mistress and young guy are
husband and wife. It goes
from therefiguring how to
keep the wife from finding
out about the situation.
Brooks submitted the pro-
duction to the Actors Circle
for its 31st season after re-
membering how funny the
play was when he saw it on
Broadway in New York dur-
ing its original release in the
1960s.
Me and my wife remem-
bered enjoying it, how come-
dic it was, said Brooks. It
has a cast of only four and it
did get a Tony Award.
This is Brooks first time
working with the Actors Cir-
cle, although he has been
involved with theater before,
directing shows since high
school. And although there
are always bumps in the road
when perfecting an upcoming
performance, Brooks is excit-
ed for a live audience to see
it on opening night.
Seeing the entire thing fall
into place is the reward, but
we wont know until we have
a live audience as to whether
or not we truly have an en-
joyable comedy, but I think if
you were to just sit and read
it, youd find it quite en-
joyable with some laughs.
Brooks described a scene
in which the four characters
are playing a game after ar-
riving at the executive suite
which is very entertaining
and also very insightful as to
what is really going on in
that setting of the suite, but
youll have to check out the
show to find out what hap-
pens.
I think its an entertaining
show, its one, if done effec-
tively, thats very funny, en-
joyable, comedicwith a few
life lessons thrown in.

Rich Howells | Weekender Staff Writer
As a very vocal hater of the
Star Wars prequels, many of
my friends expected me to abso-
lutely fly off the desert skiff like
an out-of-control bounty hunter
when Disney announced last
week that they had acquired
Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion and
are planning three new sequels in
the series, but seriously, I wish
them the best of luck.
This either means Ive sudden-
ly become an optimist or I just
havent learned my lesson yet. Ill
let you know which in 2015.
I still remember waiting out-
side the Viewmont Mall in 1999
with my father to purchase the
new Star Wars Episode 1: The
Phantom Menace toys at mid-
night from KB Toys. It was
weeks before the films theatrical
release, yet there I was ready to
drop all my hard-earned cash on
little plastic sculptures of charac-
ters I wasnt even introduced to
yet thats how big a fan I was.
Then I saw the film on May
19, again at midnight. Having
seen the originals so many times
and surrounding myself with
every bit of merchandise I could
afford, it had honestly never
occurred to me that the movie
could be bad. Not as good, may-
be, but George Lucas could never
create a downright bad film. I
was even willing to see the mer-
its in Howard the Duck. How
could I possibly be let down?
Oh, but I was. It looked like
Star Wars, it sounded like Star
Wars, but it just didnt feel like
Star Wars. This wasnt the
droid I was looking for at all, and
no amount of Force suggestion
was going to distract me from the
wooden acting; clunky, unquo-
table dialog; yawn-inducing plot;
and dull, useless characters. Even
the special effects, which were
supposed to be so advanced, just
made everything seem even more
out-of-place as actors stood in
front of green screens and talked
to themselves. I left the theater
telling people it was pretty
good, but I knew I wouldnt be
returning to KB for the second
line of toys.
I did return to the theater,
however, in 2002. And yet again
in 2005. My sad devotion to that
ancient religion only resulted in
continued disappointment as
Lucas choked the last remaining
hope for the series out of me. I
retreated back into the stories and
characters I loved as a child and
continued to watch Episodes IV,
V, and VI instead, at least until he
started messing with those too,
releasing special edition after
special edition of unnecessary
edits and additions.
Like many longtime fans, I felt
more betrayed than Obi-Wan
Kenobi. Why couldnt the movies
be exactly as I remembered them,
as sci-fi masterpieces that were
both artistic and entertaining just
the way they were? Why couldnt
I stop talking about how this new
trilogy had forever tainted my
beloved memories? Then I real-
ized one day that, quite simply, I
could.
For decades, authors have
written novels and comic books
full of new Star Wars adventur-
es. Video games utilized that
same universe, as did cartoons
and a certain holiday special that
no one wants to talk about. Be-
cause of its revolutionary mer-
chandising power, Star Wars
has always, by its very nature,
invited exploration and, there-
fore, exploitation. Did Hayden
Christensen make Darth Vader
silly and non-threatening or did
lamps, bobbleheads, and goofy
t-shirts do that first?
Between my VHS copies and
my DVDs with the theatrical
releases on the bonus discs, I can
see those old movies whenever I
want, so Ive since learned to
agree to disagree with my old pal
George. Making crappy prequels
doesnt erase the countless hours
of joy the originals brought me,
and how could anyone hate a guy
who plans to donate his $4 bil-
lion to childrens education? Not
only do I want to see what some
other writer and director does
with Star Wars next, I also
want to see those personal
films you keep talking about,
Mr. Lucas. After seeing Red
Tails, I still think youve got it in
you.
With rumors flying about
actors reprising their roles and
with possible plot points being
speculated, its an exciting time to
be a Star Wars fan again. I
truly want these new films to be
good, and considering Disneys
history with Pixar and Marvel,
that seems like a very likely
possibility, but if theyre not,
theyre not. The series has sur-
vived worse and, obviously, so
has my fandom.
Star Wars, after all, has
always been more than a series of
films its a cultural phenom-
enon, and no amount of Jar Jar
Binks is going to change that.
But please, Disney, no more
Jar Jar. The sound of a grown
Jedi crying is not a pretty one.

not be exactly what they had
in mind.
But then again, the beautiful
young blonde has always done
things her own way.
Born in Ontario, Canada,
her family moved to New York
before settling in Hawley,
where she spent her formative
years.
I spent my middle school
and high school career in
Hawley, so I count it as
basically (my hometown),
Nola explained during a phone
interview.
I go there a lot. Because
Im bi-coastal, I have a place
in (Los Angeles) and a place
in New York, but when I
dont have anything to do,
they let me go home and I
spend a week or two weeks
there until whenever I have to
work again. I spend it with my
parents and my brother.
With both her parents
working as therapists, child
psychology was her back-up
plan, but she truly wanted to
be an actress, even knowing
her chances were slim.
During her senior
year, she took classes at
the Fashion Institute of
Technology in New York,
where she would frequently
meet a friend who was
a model for lunch. She

ATURE CoNTENT
convinced her to try modeling
for herself, and before she
knew it, Nolas new career
happened really fast, scoring
her rst major job a 16-page
fashion spread at the age of
18.
I dress very strange. Well,
not strange, but very, very
New York, so I have a hard
time in LAbecause I dont
dress the way that everyone
else does in LA. I get a lot of
stares. When I go out to dinner
with girlfriends, they kind
of hate what Im wearing all
the time, she related with a
laugh.
Ever since I was little,
everyone always called me
unique, but they always
said it in a very strange way,
like, Britany, youre very
unique.
Her eccentricities, however,
may have helped her get
noticed.
Alot of it is about
connections and about
networking and stuff. The
people I meet like me
becauseI have a different
personality, Nola noted. Im
very opinionated. I dont back
down, not in a tough way, but
Im not afraid of confrontation
or anything.
She soon caught the eye
of photographer and director
Jonathan Leder, who thought
she resembled actress Mariel
Hemingway.
I guess I became his muse,
which neither of us like to call
it that, but thats the easiest
way to say what it was. He
shot me for like everything,
including commercials for
Louis Vuitton and Adidas.
I can attribute not being
shy about nudity to the lms
that Ive watched, but I think
I also attribute it to Jonathan
Leder because I was the shiest
person ever before I met him.
He also helped her live
her childhood dream, giving
Nola her rst starring role in
his lm American Ecstasy,
a black-and-white art piece
described as a lyrical
journey through the decadent
American landscape.
I spent like two years
of my life on the road with
him. We went to Florida to
shoot the lm, she recalled.
Jonathan has pushed me to do
things in public or go talk to
people and ask them if we can
shoot there. He just pushed me
out of my shell these last two
years.
SHEDDING
CLoTHES AND
INHIBITIoNS
N
ola rst posed
nude for a German
magazine, wearing
a brunette wig in the middle
of New Jersey. Her Playboy
shoot at a home in LA,
featured this month in the
magazines centerfold, was a
decidedly different experience.
Its about you. Its not a
fashion shoot. In the fashion
world, youre a model
showing off and youre doing
someone elses concept, she
pointed out.
They had a very big
meeting in the beginning to
speak about your interests and
everything about you. They
want to nd out everything
they can about you and then
try to portray it in the shoot.
That was cool because I felt
really condentbecause it
was exactly what I wanted
and the clothing was what I
wanted. I was able to listen to
my own music, and everyone
was so kind.
The retro furniture and
vintage record player in the
photos are evidence that she
feels stuck in a different
decade, citing Batrice Dalle,
Brigitte Bardot, and Jane
Birkin as inuences.
You dont feel weird seeing
them. You dont feel strange
because theyre comfortable
and they arent ashamed of
their naked body. I think Ive
drawn a lot of condence from
seeing those women, she
acknowledged.
In other cultures, when
they do show the nude body,
they dont necessarily over-
sexualize it, you know? I feel
like in America we get a little
nervous about doing it because
its such a taboo and because
people are weirded out by it.
Not even her parents are
phased by her nude modeling,
but Nola guesses that this
may be due to their Canadian
origins.
They raised me to be a
pretty well-rounded person,
and I think they really trust
me and they think that I know
what Im doing. They think
that I can handle myself, and
they think its cool. Theyre
amazing.
MACHINE
MINDS
O
nce the 21-year-old
gets on the topic of
movies, her favorite
being Wim Wenders Wings
of Desire, its apparent that
shes more than just a pretty
face.
The quote on top of her
Twitter page Machine
men, with machine minds and
machine hearts comes from
The Great Dictator, Charlie
Chaplins famous talking
picture.
He was such an
inspirational person. I have
a really bad habit of calling
people machines. I think that
a lot of people need to open
their minds and open their
eyes and learn about our
world. Theres just a lot of
hate in this world and a lot of
conformity, Nola commented.
Im really trying to train
myself to live by my moral
standards, not societys,
so every time that I do
something, I ask myself, Am
I doing this because society
tells me I have to or I cant,
or am I doing this because I
feel like its right or am I not
doing it because I feel like its
wrong?
Nola feels that American
Ecstasy may help expose this
deeper side of her personality
to future collaborators.
Im hoping that people who
see this lm will realize that
this is where my interests lie,
she continued. I would love
to work with people who have
a bit of a different mindset,
people doing new things and
interesting things.
Her Twitter account, which
she reluctantly started at the
request of her agent, has also
been a conversation starter in a
much different way.
People write me all the
time and I always forget to
check my accounts and to
write back. I go through
them all and reply and I guess
thats the weirdest thing
people on Twitter that I
went to high school with are

congratulating me and
asking me how I am,
she said.
I bought my place
in New York before I
graduated high school,
then I graduated high
school and I just got in
my car and I left that
day. I havent really been
back. I was back maybe a
month ago and I went to
my football game for the
rst time. That was very
strange. I havent talked
to so many people since
I was in high school, so
thats kind of cool to talk
to people through the

their lives are turning

Comedian Brian Regan last
performed in Wilkes-Barre in
2009, but thats not why he re-
members the area.
While he grew up in Miami,
his father was a railroad worker
from Scranton and his mother
resided in Binghamton, N.Y.
They went down to Miami,
Fla. for their honeymoon and
said, Why would we go back up
to Scranton? Regan cracked in
a recent phone interview.
We would go up there for
vacation. I used to joke with my
mom and dad, saying We live in
Miami, Fla. and were going to
Scranton for our vacation? We
were relentless. We would go up
there to see our relatives and stuff
like that, so I spent a lot of time
in that area. Its interesting to be
able to perform there.
Returning to the northeast on
Nov. 10 for a show at the F.M.
Kirby Center (71 Public Square,
Wilkes-Barre), he now calls Las
Vegas, Nev. home, one that is
much less crowded than his
upbringing with seven brothers
and sisters.
Oddly enough, of the eight
kids, there are four occupations
there are two comedians, two
firefighters, two schoolteachers,
and two salesmen, so I tell peo-
ple we grew up on an ark. Its
very weird, he joked.
He credits them with shaping
his sense of humor, which may
have saved him from life as an
accountant.
I was all geared up for one
exciting life of accounting and I
burned out on that after about
three weeks of accounting classes
(in college). I switched majors to
communication and theater arts.
One of my first classes in that
new major was a speech class
and I used to try to make my
speeches funny just so I wouldnt
bore myself to tears. I remember
that feeling I got after I got the
class laughing, that feeling of
walking back to my dorm. I
remember saying to myself, I
didnt feel like this when I walk-
ed back from accounting class,
so thats what gave me the bug,
Regan recalled.
The now 55-year-old has trust-
ed his gut ever since, formulating
material based on his everyday
life.
I kind of tightrope between
real stuff and silly stuff. I like to
keep going back and forth with it
because I dont want the audi-
ence to start figuring me out. I
like to do bits and I want the
audience to be saying to them-
selves, Is this true? Or this just
like a true story that hes telling
thats funny, or is this going to
get a little quirky at the end? he
explained.
Every once in a while, I throw
a curveball and have people go,
Well thats clearly absurd. I
dont believe that happened, and
then the next joke, theyre ex-
pecting absurdity and you give
them more reality. So its fun to
go back and forth.
Not every incident is funny at
the time, however.
I have a whole routine about
going to the emergency room,
which is a true story. Clearly I
wasnt laughing like a maniac
while it was happening, but a
couple weeks later you look back
and go, Hey, there was some
funny stuff there, he noted.
Featured in two Comedy Cen-
tral specials, Regans clean jokes
have helped him gain a nation-
wide audience, but its not some-
thing he consciously writes for a
specific crowd.
I like just talking about every-
day things, and so my mind,
comedically, doesnt really grav-
itate (towards profanity). Yeah,
theres a nice by-product in the
fact that a lot of audiences also
like it, but I dont put the cart
before the horse. To me, I just do
it because I like it, and if there
are people out there that also like
it, then great, I guess I get to
have a career out of it, he said.
The topics are purposely
bland. I like to try to pull comedy
out of everyday things. I talk
about food and I talk about going
to the doctor and I just talk about
things that everybody does on a
daily basis. If you just read the
topics, you might go, Well this
seems a little milquetoasty, but
Im trying to find peculiarity
within those.
Over the years, he has made
friends with comics like Jerry
Seinfeld, but he has largely favor-
ed a career in stand-up over tele-
vision and movies, self-releasing
his latest special, All By My-
self, through his website, brian-
regan.com.
If something came my way
that had to do with my comedy
and how I think as a comedian,
Id be open to it, but Ive been
resistant over the years to get
involved with somebody elses
creative vision just for the sake
of becoming a sitcom star. That
doesnt really interest me. I like
the comedy, Regan insisted.
If my comedy can be famous,
then Ill be happy to go along for
the ride, but I dont want to be-
come famous in lieu of my com-
edy. I dont want to leave that
behind.

A longtime audience member
will become one of the featured
readers at New Visions Studio
and Gallerys (201 Vine St.,
Scranton) Writers Showcase this
week.
Barbara Taylor, a Scranton
resident and English teacher in
the Pocono Mountain School
District for the last 26 years, will
share pieces of her novel during
the event on Nov. 10 at 7 p.m.
Taylor will be joined by Scran-
ton resident and playwright Kait
Burrier; Misericordia University
instructor Erin Delaney; El-
izabethtown College writing
fellow Richard Fellinger; Yardley
resident and 2006 Bucks County
poet laureate Marie Kane; and
Vestal, N.Y. resident and English
teacher Grace Persico, according
to a release.
I have been going to the read-
ings at New Visions since the
series started, Taylor explained.
The event is one of several she
regularly attends that were started
by fellow Wilkes creative writing
alumni, including the Prose in
Pubs series founded by Amye
Archer.
Taylor said shes excited to
share new pieces of her first
novel. Providence Square has
been in the works for two years,
she explained. It is set in Scran-
ton in the early 1900s during the
time of Vaudeville, evangelism,
and coal mining. It follows the
tale of a young girl blamed for
the tragic death of her sister and
is inspired in part by a true in-
cident, she said.
My grandmothers sister was
burned tragically on the Fourth
of July, she explained. No one
blamed the sister, but its a story
that always stuck with me. It was
actually the day of her baptism.
She survived for three days, and
she sang hymns. When she died,
people all over the city came to
see the little girl who sang
hymns.
Mentor Kaylie Jones has
helped Taylor through the revi-
sion process a great deal. The
Wilkes University faculty mem-
ber is a novelist and screenwriter
in her own respect and the
daughter of James Jones, author
of From Here to Eternity.
The writing process often
brings surprises to the aspiring
novelist.
I really enjoy finding out
whats going to happen. I dont
outline, so Im not exactly sure
where the story is going. When I
go upstairs to sit down and write,
Im finding out for the first time.
I let the characters tell the story,
she said.
Im surprised by the stories
that come to me at the time I
need them, and characters come
out of nowhere. They pop up and
take it in a whole different direc-
tion.
Taylor said she was drawn to
fiction after being introduced to
all of the creative writing genres,
adding, The story (in Providen-
ce Square) was too big to tell in
any other way.
Novels are what I know and
what I read, she said. It was the
place where I felt most comfort-
able.
Participating in readings like
the one set for Saturday changes
writing from a very solitary
practice to one that a community
can share. Its also something she
does with her sophomore stu-
dents at Pocono Mountain.
I love to read and write, and I
just try to bring that enthusiasm
into the classroom. When I get
the nerve up, I share my own
writing with the kids, and they
share with me. I try to build a
safe space to create that way, she
said.
Taylor, who earned her mas-
ters degree in creative writing in
2008, is currently working with
an agent to pitch Providence
Square to publishers, and she
has started assembling the frame-
work for a second novel.

Fitness
Im sure this scenario
sounds familiar...
You decided to get in
shape for that holiday party
- or beach vacation - or
wedding - or class reunion.
You joined a gym, told your
friends about your new plan,
toured the grocery store for
healthy items, and even
bought new workout gear to
get things rolling.
Week one you worked out
five days, week two, three
days, week three you were
down to one day because
your dog was sick. And
week four well, zero workout
days and zero motivation.
After one month of solid
effort you are back to
where you started; frustrated,
out of shape, feeling lazy
and having no desire to con-
quer that goal you set 30
days ago.
So what went wrong?
Its difficult to say specifi-
cally what went wrong but I
can take a good guess. Peo-
ple tend to get all jazzed up
about something typically
surrounding an event. Some-
thing triggers that motivation
and more often than not this
new found motivation is
short lived.
While I think its extreme-
ly important to join that
gym, tour the isles of the
grocery store and even buy
new workout clothes, I dont
feel that these things should
be done immediately. You
should first identify reasons
you attempted and possibly
failed in the past, and sec-
ond, realize and understand
what your true motives are.
You cannot fix something if
you arent sure where to
start. Many people skip
these initial steps and never
make it longer than one
month.
The holiday season is
quickly approaching. The
stores are stocking their
shelves with holiday mer-
chandise, commercials on
television have holiday un-
dertones and visions of coo-
kies, desserts, and high fat,
carb laden foods dance in
your head.
Dont wait until January 1
to begin your journey be
accountable for your actions
now. This holiday season
stand out from the crowd.
Dont gain weight, lose it.
Then come New Year resolu-
tion time, instead of focus-
ing on the mundane, clich
goals of losing weight, you
can focus on something
deeper such as the following
(as suggested by the Jew-
ishJournal.com):
Re-evaluation your
friendships/relationships and
accept only what you de-
serve.
Motivate yourself. Daily.
Practice being a skeptic.
Not a cynic.
Nurture your negative
feelings, then move on.
Reach out to someone
who can use you as a role
model.
New resolutions will help
you re-energize yourself and
add an instant upgrade to
your life and help you create
a new, improved you. Dont
wait...start your journey now.

can be reached at thli-
via@hotmail.com

Workouts generally last up to
10 minutes, but there are some
who can kill it in three min-
utes, she added. Up to 20 bar-
bells will be set up at Keystone
CrossFit, depending on the num-
ber of required heats for regis-
tered participants.
But the event wont just be
open to existing members.
We plan to hold public prac-
tice workouts from now until the
event on Tuesday and Thursday
nights at 6:30 p.m. That will
allow completely new Cross-
Fitters to come in and learn how
to do the dumbbell version, Mr.
Muenkel said.
Until then, donors are invited
to visit the Barbells for Boobs
page at keystonecrossfit.com to
offer their donations to the Dun-
more gym. Donations can be
made to the gym as a whole or to
individual members. Cash and
check donations will also be
accepted at Keystone CrossFit on
Nov. 17. 50/50 raffles and sales
of concessions will also aid Bar-
bells for Boobs.
About 30 area CrossFitters had
registered by Nov. 1, and $2,835
had been raised online by Nov. 2,
according to the Muenkels and
Keystone CrossFits fundraising
page at support.barbellsforboob-
s.org.
Aside from raising funds
through the unique fitness event,
the couple is happy to welcome
in CrossFitters from across
northeastern Pennsylvania.
CrossFit is like a community,
Mrs. Muenkel said. In this area,
Since opening their CrossFit
gym in July 2010, Dickson City
residents Tim and Allison Muen-
kel have focused on ways to
educate and enrich the local
community participating in the
worldwide fitness movement.
Next week, the owners and
head coaches get their biggest
chance to date.
Keystone CrossFit (1000 Dun-
ham Dr., Dunmore) will host a
Barbells for Boobs event to bene-
fit Mammograms in Action on
Saturday, Nov. 17 from11 a.m. to
3 p.m.
Barbells for Boobs is a non-
profit organization thats 100
percent CrossFitters around the
country. It was started in Cali-
fornia by a group of CrossFitters,
and it kind of blew up into this
movement where CrossFit gyms
sign up to do the workout, Mr.
Muenkel, 32, explained.
This months event in Dun-
more will put CrossFitters and
other athletes through the
Amazing Grace workout. Par-
ticipants will be challenged to lift
a barbell from the floor to their
shoulder and then to the overhead
position 30 times as quickly as
they can. Women will lift 95
pounds and men will lift 135
pounds, but the event will also
offer different tiers of the work-
out to fit all fitness levels, Mrs.
Muenkel, 29, said.
its kind of blown up in the past
two or three years. Its catching
on, and this is just another event
that people want to participate in
to come together and meet other
athletes they dont know, she
said. Were happy to have it here
because we have the space. Its
the largest CrossFit gym in our
area.
We thrive on the community
aspect of what CrossFit is and
being a part of something thats
worldwide, Mr. Muenkel said.
One of the biggest things about
CrossFit is our fundraising
events.
The Nov. 17 benefit will also
feature sports massages, food
from the Drinker Mobile food
truck, and music from Mike
Walton Productions.
Those interested in what Mr.
Muenkel called the school to
achieve elite fitness can also get
a glimpse of the basics of Cross-
Fit and see members in action.

My weight is out of control! I
diet and diet and nothing
changes. I am so unhappy with
myself. Its been years that this
has been going on. Im not one
of those chicks who is 510
and weighs 110 pounds and still
says shes fat. Help me! I dont
know what to do anymore.
-Fat in Forty Fort
Girrrl,
First of all chill. I know you
are hurting, but there is no reason
to panic. Nothing has been done
that cannot be undone and you
are not alone in your struggle.
God knows what percent of
America is overweight at this
point, and I guarantee none of us
are happy about it, myself in-
cluded. Keep in mind, I was
crowned Miss PA US at Large.
What we have all got to learn is
how to be happy with ourselves.
That is not to say that some of us
wouldnt be happier with our-
selves if we were to shed a few
pounds.
So on that note, point number
one is that dieting does not work.
Yes, its a multi-billion dollar
industry, but dont believe the
hype. The majority of the word
diet is DIE! What else must I say
for the love of Twinkies?
The real deal is lifestyle
change. I know its not as glam-
orous or as fast, but it lasts and it
doesnt do horrible damage to
your poor little heart. There are a
million websites and books out
there with advice on what, when,
and how to eat. The key is to find
one that actually works for YOU.
Forget whats trendy, forget what
your friends and family say. Find
what you think might work for
you and give it a try.
The other thing is to start
small. Make small changes and
stick to it. For example, decide to
switch to whole grains only. Do
this for at least six weeks before
you make any additional chang-
es. Research shows that it takes
at least six weeks for humans to
begin to accept a change as
something new in their life. An
excellent author on nutrition and
change is Dr. Andrew Weil. His
approach is very balanced.
Aside from looking at what
you are eating and beginning to
make changes, you will need
support. Rome wasnt built in a
day and no one person built it
alone. Sometimes what we cant
do alone we can do together. Find
a buddy with common goals that
you can talk to about your trials
and tribulations. Or, if you find
that you are eating for emotional
reasons, then begin the process of
exploring why you eat either in
counseling or with a book like
Geneen Roths When Food Is
Love or consider attending a
few meetings of Overeaters
Anonymous (you can look for
local meetings on the web).
Next, as King Julien says,
Youve got to move it, move it!
No, you dont need to join a gym
and sweat it out with all the
Brangelina wannabees. You dont
need to buy a zillion dollars in
equipment or thigh-master your-
self to death with Guthy-Renker.
All youve got to do is MOVE.
Again, do what is easiest and
most interesting for you to start.
If that means walking, walk. If
that means dancing, dance. If that
means yoga, get twisted. Just
start to move. Start small and
build. If you move for fifteen
minutes a day for the first six
weeks, congratulations, its be-
come a habit. Now bump it up to
thirty minutes. True lifestyle
change takes time. We live in a
culture of quick fixes and easy
solutions. Reality doesnt work
that way. Changing the shape of
your body will take time. Be
patient with yourself and it
WILL happen.
In the meantime, learn to love
yourself as you are. There is
nothing more attractive and there
is nothing that will make you
happier. By the way, I refuse to
call you Fat in Forty Fort. Re-
spect yourself. I do. Best of luck
in your journey, FABULOUS in
Forty-Fort Just do you!

Dear Estella,

should be happy with yourself.

Who is...
Sean
Diggs,
Washington D.C.
How did you choose your
career? I wanted to spend more time
with my family and have my own
schedule.
The best part of my job is
helping people reach their goals and
create more champions and working with
all of the great guys and girls on the ght
teams.
Whats one thing people
should know about your place of
employment? It is non-intimidating.
We have something for the housewife to
the professional ghter.
Something most people dont
know about me is I am a
certied teacher with the Pennsylvania
Department of Education. I taught for six
years in the Pennsylvania school district
focusing on Special Education and
Alternative Education.
My hobbies are reading,
researching history, watching boxing and
Muay Thai bouts, playing games and
collecting comics with my sons.
When I was little, I wanted to be a
scientist when I grew up.
Three interesting facts about
me: 1. Ive trained guys and gals that
have won over 20 titles, one international
champ, and a two-time world champion.
2. I won a boxing title in 1996. 3. I
trained the only athlete in NEPAto
win Golden Gloves boxing titles and
an MMAtitle as an amateur. He was
undefeated as an amateur in boxing,
Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA.
My favorite place in NEPA is
The gym...World Class Boxing.

VIDEO GAME REVIEWS
Robbie Vanderveken | Special to the Weekender
Over this console gener-
ation, there have been very
few games that captivated me
as much as the Assassins
Creed series has. That is why
I am so happy to play Assas-
sins Creed 3 (360, PS3, PC
and Wii U).
The things I love about
Assassins Creed aside from
the great story is the huge
environments to explore, thou-
sands of hidden collectables
to find, brain-racking puzzles
to solve, and the fluid combat
and climbing. Assassins
Creed 3 does not disappoint
and actually improves upon all
the well-established systems
that the series is known for.
The most enthralling thing
about Assassins Creed for
me is it has a story within the
story. The overall story of the
series is about a present-day
character named Desmond
Miles. In the first game, he
was kidnapped by a company
called Abstergo Industries.
Desmond was forced to use a
machine called The Animus,
which is a computer sim-
ulation that allows you to
relive the memories of your
ancestors using your DNA.
The reason they want Des-
mond to visit the past is to see
where his ancestor hid an
ancient artifact that they need
to take over the world.
Once in the past, a story
unravels about a war that has
been waging between the As-
sassins and the Templars.
One side wants people to have
free will and the other wants
to rule by controlling the peo-
ple. So far, the series has been
through the Crusades, Renais-
sance Italy, Constantinople,
and has concluded the story of
Altair and Ezio. The thing
that makes part three exciting
is that there is a new time
period to explore and the in-
troduction of a new main
character.
The setting of Assassins
Creed 3 is the American
Revolution in the late 18th
century, and it introduces a
new protagonist named Con-
ner who is a Native American.
Players become an assassin in
the war for liberty against
tyranny and include the most
stylized and fluid combat
experiences in the franchise
so far. Conners story spans
many years of the Revolu-
tionary War, through some
vibrant cities, lush frontiers,
and on the battlefield where
George Washingtons Conti-
nental Army collide with the
British Army. Also, there is
an interesting story arc with
Desmond that is supposed to
run parallel with the events of
December 2012.
This game is just bursting at
the seams with things to do.
The new world is vast and
creates an amazing open-
world playground where you
can climb, explore, hunt, and
even sail a ship in epic naval
battles. Something this series
is good at is dropping you
right in the middle of histor-
ical events, so it is much as a
learning experience as it is
entertainment.
A technological achieve-
ment that is truly astounding
is the change in seasons and
weather from rain, snow, and
spring. This game is just
breathtaking. It really does a
lot to bring the world to life,
but because of the size of the
game, there are sometimes
some graphical hiccups and
lulls in the story but that
hardly takes away from the
experience.
The basic game mechanics
have been drastically im-
proved; the climbing and
fighting are nearly perfect. No
longer will you randomly
jump off things or confuse
what you can climb on. Fight-
ing is where they have made
the most improvements. It is
simplified but actually allows
for more options such as
throwing and disarming with
ease. It really makes you feel
like a badass when you take
out a dozen guys with just a
couple of button presses.
There are a few new mul-
tiplayer modes that were fun,
such as wolf pack, where you
and some friends can hunt
targets as a team, but I had
the most fun with the older
Assassinate Mode, which
provides a more compelling
multiplayer experience than
your average shooting game.
Overall, this game is amaz-
ing. It tells a great story, it is
a marvel of technology when
it comes to graphics and the
game world, the combat is a
blast, and you can learn some-
thing about history. This game
is a must play for people who
like the series, but it can also
be a good jumping on point
for someone who just wants to
play a good game. If the May-
ans prediction is correct and
the world is ending soon, this
should be the last game you
play. Its that good.

RIDE OF THE WEEK
Michael Golubiewski | Special to the Weekender
To submit your vehicle,
email: mgolubiewski@theweekender.com
2006
CHEVROLET
CORVETTE PAXTON
Owner:
Tim Barto
Kingston
This has been my never-ending
project since I purchased it new in
2006, Barto said. Its supercharged
with alcohol injection, putting down 735
horsepower to the wheels. I did all the
work except exhaust installation. The
DynoTuning was done by East Coast
Supercharging, and Ive had the car in
many local shows. W
Everybody has a dream. The
girl who gives you your coffee
every morning. The guy who
does your dry cleaning. The son
of a b---h who cuts you off on the
highway. Even you. Whats your
dream?
According to my high school
yearbook, mine is to have my
own TV show.
Id rather be on my deathbed
and say, At least I tried, than
ask, What if...? I told myself.
Eight years later, the closest
Ive come to making my dream
come true is running around in
glittery gold spandex on 10 epi-
sodes of a Japanese game show.
At least that was the case.
I need a pitch meeting! I told
myself. Even if I never get a
show on TV, I want to be able to
say I had a pitch meeting and
tried.
Recently, one of the most
innovative production companies
in reality television agreed to
meet with me to discuss the
possibility of spinning my co-
lumn into a reality show.
Picture it! Sex & The City
meets Boy Meets World, I
expressed in my first Hollywood
meeting. Each episode would
feature me narrating my column
while sharing the adventures of
me and my friends as I return to
school.
I could see I had their full
attention as I shared past experi-
ences of buying a Chihuahua
when I was drunk in a trailer
park and craving Taco Bell,
awarding Michael Lohan an
orange juice-stained Father of the
Year Award, calling 911 after
catching my roommate having
sex on my air mattress, and hav-
ing to move back with my par-
ents after losing financial aid.
There needs to be a reality
show that focuses on the heart of
todays generation, I insisted. A
show that features real people
who arent where they thought
they would be, or are on that
journey of figuring out where
they belong. No show out there
balances the struggles our gener-
ation faces with the fun we have
along the way of figuring every-
thing out.
I love it! they said. I love
the title. I love you. This is the
most creative pitch weve prob-
ably ever seen.
Maybe in a year from now
Sorry, Mom & Dad will be the
reality show that defines a gener-
ation. Or maybe Ill be the assist-
ant manager at Pizza Hut. Who
knows?
What I do know is that I
chased my dream. So what are
you waiting for? Follow your
dream, or youll find yourself
working for someone who did.

sign language
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
A lot of people I know are using No-
vember as a chance to lose weight, save
money, write a novel, or otherwise cross
off something thats been on their To-do
list for a while. A week in, its not too late
to follow their example. In fact, if I were
you, Id take advantage of this window
between now and the December holidays
to accomplish something youve been
wanting to do for this entire past year, but
havent had a chance to make happen.
Wouldnt that, after all, be the best Christ-
mas/Hanukah/etc. gift you could give
yourself?
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Take it out; blow off the years of accu-
mulated mental dust that have collected on
it. What is it? I can barely rememberI
think its that neglected goal you set for
yourself ages ago. It was important to you
then, and itll be important to you again
now that you remember what it was; may-
be even more important than anything else
you have on your plate at the moment.
Why dredge it out of your cerebral attic?
Because, finally, doors have opened that
will let you move miles closer to it. Yes,
thats right, youre at last able to take some
stepslong, loping strides, actually
towards it. The only thing that might dis-
concert you: theyre not necessarily the
steps you originally intendedtheyre
better.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
I dont know about you, but the lesson
Im working on comprehending this week
is the one where I remember to actually
think before I speak. Like you, Im a big
fan of spontaneity, but it works best when
Im in a clear-headed, happy place, not
when Im down in the trenches working
on my shit. Youve admirably spent the
past week thigh-deep in mental sludge,
digging through your mental blocks and
rooting out your most unhealthy patterns.
When Im in that state, I dont necessarily
respond to external stimuli in as enlight-
ened a way as I might like. Might you be
the same? To avoid being irrevocably
branded asshole, Im inclined to take a
moment before I open my mouth. This
week, follow my example.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
It may not be a perfect day, but the sun
is shining gloriously. Your friends adore
you, your love life is looking up, and, well,
you just feel good. This is like the scene in
the movie where everythings going great,
where the director shows you how won-
derful life was before all the crazy shit
goes down. Except youre not in a movie.
Thats the good news. Although the love-
liness cant last forever, obviously, its not
about to come crashing down on you
tomorrow. Squash your anxieties, please.
Youve got a clear stretch ahead. Relax
and enjoy the sweetness.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
Scruff is in. 9 out of 10 guys within my
range of vision have gone days without the
blade. Its a very Piscean fashion state-
ment, to let your stubble grow, to walk
around sporting a fabulous bed-head, or
go bra-less. Thats right, your casual this-
is-me-take-it-or-leave-it-ness spreads as
easily as cream cheese. It extends beyond
mere lazinesswith you, at least. While
youre leading the hyper-casual fashion
trend, maybe you could start a minor atti-
tude revolution while youre at it, and
encourage people to accept themselves as
thoroughly as you do. Show them how
feeling okay about extra pounds, new
wrinkles, or slightly obnoxious quirks is
much, much more attractive than trying to
hide them.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
Love often requires sacrifice, compro-
mise. Its not unheard of for your lover to
ask you to give up something altogether.
For someone as freedom-hungry as you,
these demands are frequently deal break-
ers, especially because they most usually
from a completely irrational, hyper-emo-
tional realm youre not that familiar with.
This week, you may discover emotional
roadblocks on every route youd normally
choose to travel, but dont panic. Although
you may have to delay your arrival at the
destination you picked, you dont have to
cancel your plans to get there. These barri-
cades are temporary, just a checkpoint to
ensure (for everyones safety) that your car
is bomb-free and its passengers are prop-
erly belted in.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
Everyone hates grunt work. Who wants
to spend half the day scrubbing mildew
from between tiles with an old toothbrush,
or redoing someone elses botched job?
No one, but some signs are better at put-
ting up with it than others. Lets face it:
this isnt one of your strengths. However,
every once in a while youve still got to
buckle down and clean out the fridge or
steam-clean the carpets. This week, the
misery wont be as profound as usual,
should you decide to cross a few tedious
tasks from your list. Get them out of the
way while you can bear it. The sense of
relief when theyre finished will eclipse
the foul memory of actually doing them
soon enough.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
Your inner eye is bloodshot and blurry.
Although youve been lauded for your
astoundingly clear and far-sighted internal
vision in the past, you havent been im-
pressing people with your feeble feats of
imagination lately. Luckily, this weeks
astrological events are the Visine you need
to clear up that stoner redness and get your
inspiration synced with reality again.
Dont let the past months despicable let-
downs and setbacks keep you down. As of
this week you can (and should) trust your
gut, your intuition, and your oracular
enthusiasm again.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
You have an intoxicating effect on peo-
ple. Youve heard this before, but the
phenomenon has usually been confined to
selected locales, like the bedroom, or
during your delectable home-cooked din-
ners. This week, however, your delicious
influence may be more universal and
pronounced. Dont be surprised if people
around you become suddenly prone to
throwing their arms around your neck and
slurring candor in your direction, or toast-
ing you with moony affection. They cant
help themselves. Just take their (compli-
mentary) smashed conduct with a grain of
salt, and be generous with the aspirin and
TLC the next day.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
The shackles cut into your wrists, the
mildew reeks, and the rats keep nibbling
your toes. Much as I love Scorpios, their
birthday season is a rough time for the
Leo tribe. Having the sun (your ruler) in
that cool, dark, watery signwhich is
about as different from your exuberant,
sunny optimism as its possible to get
made the past few weeks feel a little like
being chained in a dungeon. Swallow your
gruel and make it through this last stretch,
though; pretty soon your buddy Sagittarius
will rule the world, let you out of the pit,
and all will be well again.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
Just because you can do the work of 2-3
people doesnt mean you get paid, recog-
nized, or rewarded accordingly. Wouldnt
it be great if your efficiency meant you
could pull in two paychecks every week?
Unfortunately, most businesses dont run
that way, and you almost get punished for
your effectiveness by simply getting more
responsibility and hardly any more pay. It
might be true that the only way you could
get paid what you actually deserve is to
work for someone who notices, and
caresyou. Have you ever thought of
being your own boss? This is a good time
to check in again and see if that might
actually be a possibility. If it is, seize it.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Oh, Pollyanna. Your rosy outlook of the
near future flies in the face of all odds,
public opinion, and educated forecasts.
But why fight it? If you have reason to
hope that the next few weeks will be more
wonderful than chocolate, more power to
you. Be a shining example of how in-
tention shapes reality. You know what
happens to cynical naysayers? Shit hap-
pens. It just ends up justifying and rein-
forcing their cynicism. Unfortunately, shit
happens to idealistic optimists, too. But if
you retain that ability to concentrate on the
silver lining of any sinister thunderheads
that come your way, youre a lot less likely
to go down with the next flush.
