kids, getting made fun of by
your peers can sometimes
feel like the world is crashing
down upon you. Bullying
can be so devastating that it
can push young adults to do
something drastic. In fact,
in recent years, bullying has
pushed more young adults
than ever to the most drastic
of measures: To take their
own lives.

“not at (their) best. We want to

-- A Chinese Capitalist’s
Learning Curve: In the early
hours of the destruction at Ja-
pan’s Fukushima nuclear power
plant in March, rumors abound-
ed that millions of people might
need iodine products to fight off
radiation. A restaurateur named
Guo in Wuhan, China, seeing
the price of iodized table salt
rise dramatically, cleverly cor-
nered a market with 4 1/2 tons
of it, trucked to his home, where
it filled half the rooms. Accord-
ing to a March 25 China Daily
report, the price has returned to
pre-Fukushima levels — much
less than what Guo paid, and he
can neither return the salt (lack-
ing documentation) nor sell nor
transport it (lacking the proper
licenses).
WEIRD SCIENCE
-- From a March Discov-
ery.com report: “40 million
years ago, a female mite met an
attractive partner, grabbed him
with her clingy rear end, and
began to mate — just before a
blob of tree resin fell on the
couple, preserving the moment
for eternity.” The resin-encrusted
mites were discovered recently
by researchers from the Uni-
versity of Michigan Museum of
Zoology (who noted that, in
those days, the female dom-
inated mating, but that evolution
has reversed that role).
-- Medical Marvels: (1) Su-
patra Sasuphan, 11, of Bangkok,
was recently noted as the world’s
hairiest girl by the Guinness
Book of World Records for her
wolf-like facial hair as one of
only 50 people in history to be
recorded with hypertrichosis.
Though she has of course been
teased and taunted at school, she
told a reporter in February that
the Guinness Book recognition
has actually increased her pop-
ularity at Ratchabophit school.
(2) According to a team of Uni-
versity of Montreal psycholo-
gists, a 23-year-old man, “Math-
ieu,” is the first documented
case of a person wholly unable
to feel a musical beat or to move
in time with it. The scientists
report for an upcoming journal
article that Mathieu sings in tune
but merely flails with his body,
bouncing up and down much
more randomly than do people
who are merely poor dancers.

WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 2011
Fun: A team of whimsical re-
searchers at the University of
Osaka (Japan) Graduate School
of “Frontier Biosciences” has
produced a strain of mice prone
to “miscopying” DNA, making
them susceptible to developing
sometimes-unexpected muta-
tions, such as their recently born
mouse that tweets like a bird.
Lead researcher Arikuni Uchim-
ura told London’s Daily Mail
that he had expected to produce,
instead, a mouse with an odd
shape, but the “singing mouse”
emerged. Previously, the team
produced a mouse with dach-
shund-like short limbs.
SMOOTH REACTIONS
A suspicious wife (who lives
apart from her husband because
of work requirements) flew to
the couple’s principal home in
Wilmette, Ill., on March 4 and,
finding her husband’s new girl-
friend’s clothes hanging in their
closet, scissored out the crotch
area of all her pants, doing
about $2,000 in damage, and
leaving the remnants in the
driveway before returning to her
East Coast home. According to
police, neither the husband nor
the girlfriend chose to file com-
plaints, and the case is closed.
A NEWS OF THE WEIRD
CLASSIC (AUG. 1995)
In June (1995), Barbara Ricci
was voted by fellow contestants
as “Mrs. Congeniality” in the
Mrs. New York State pageant,
receiving 22 of the 28 votes.
However, six months earlier, she
had gone to trial in Mount Ver-
non, N.Y., on charges that she
tried to run down with her car
the 11-year-old daughter of a
neighbor with whom she had
been feuding (resulting in a
hung jury). And two years be-
fore that, a police officer had
charged her with punching and
kicking him at a school board
meeting (and she pleaded guilty
to harassment). W

WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 2011
By Alan K. Stout
Weekender Music Columnist
AKS performs with The Badlees at CFK 4. This year’s
show will be the last.
Memories of CFC
O
n April 27, “Concert For
A Cause” comes to an
end. It began on a warm
April night in 1999, and it will
end on a warm April night in
2011. It began as “Concert For
Karen,” later changed its name to
“Concert For A Cause,” and after
next week, it will have raised
more than $200,000. It has taken
place at three different venues.
More than 70 different bands
have performed. There have been
10 charity albums. And it has
been a very big part of my life.
As you might imagine, the
question I’ve been asked the
most in recent months is “Why is
this the last show?” I don’t mind
being asked. I’m glad people
care. And I’m happy to answer.
The fact is, April of 1999 is
getting to be quite a long time
ago. Few people from the origi-
nal group that started the event
remain, and though everyone that
has become involved along the
way has been tremendously sup-
portive, we have wondered, as we
have moved forward, if that
might not always be the case. Big
bands and big rock clubs have
also come and gone, the music
scene has changed, and yet right
now, CFC is still very successful.
And we care about the event in
such a special way that we all
feel very strongly about it going
out on top and on its own terms.
We wanted to have one last big
bash and go out with style.
And that’s exactly what we’ll
be doing on April 27. You can
count on it.
PAGE 16
CFC was inspired by the death
of Karen Greenberg Revit, who
died of leukemia in 1998. Her
story has been told many times
on these pages over the years.
But one story I have never shared
— and another reason why we
are OK in ending the series —
involves a conversation I once
had with Karen’s father, Barry
Fischer, back in 2002 as we were
preparing for “Concert For Karen
4.” At that point, the show had
raised about $45,000, and though
Barry and I both felt that “Con-
cert For Karen” might soon be
ending, he told me how he had
hoped it would someday raise
more than $100,000.
Barry has since passed away,
but I always remembered that
discussion. And I decided I want-
ed to double it. And we will do
that next Wednesday night.
The memories of CFC are
plentiful. The emotion of that
very first show at Jitterbugs and
the hugs shared remain with me
to this day. I also recall how, on
that night, we asked a young man
about 17 years old who had bea-
ten leukemia to get up on stage
and say a few words to the
crowd. And that crowd’s warm
and incredible reaction to him
remains one of the coolest things
I have ever seen. In fact, out of
all 12 shows that we’ve done, it
might be my favorite memory.
Most of the memories are
about people. They involve dedi-
cated people like Richie Kossuth
and Gene Smith from Rock
Street Music and Mitch Kornfeld
from The Woodlands. They in-
volve special members of some
of the bands that have been there
from the very beginning, and
some of the great new talent that

“Living Thing.” On their

however, the 11-songs captures
the yin yang of the Swedish trio

sometimes gloomy lyrics.

In 2009, the band seemed to Weekender Correspondent
Brian Setzer
“Setzer Goes Instru-MENTAL!”
WWWW
Setzer’s solo strut
Brian Setzer has taken listeners back
in time with his brand of rockabilly with
The Stray Cats in the 1980s and when
he jump, jived and wailed with his jazz-
oriented big band, The Brian Setzer
Orchestra, in the late ’90s.
His latest effort, “Brian Setzer goes
Instru-MENTAL!” features six originals
and five jazz-bluegrass standards
including a bluesy version of Bill
Monroe’s “Blue Moon of Kentucky,”
which has crunchy Setzer guitar before
Johnny Hatton’s upright bass kicks in
amid Noah Levy’s ticking drums. There’s
also a slight Stray Cats riff that fits
nicely.
Hatton’s bass really stands out
on the trio’s version of Ray Noble’s
“Cherokee,” which is fun and light
with Setzer doling out some great fast
licks. Setzer keeps the general feel of
Tex Davis and Gene Vincent’s classic
“Be-Bop-A-Lula,” which is an album
highlight as is Earl Scruggs’ “Earl’s
Breakdown.” Setzer takes to the banjo to
give the latter a fantastic country flair.
The French-inspired original “Far Noir
East” is moody with some searing guitar
and “la las” thrown in for added depth
while “Intermission” is upbeat thanks to
cheerful Steve Yeager vibraphone. With
its rock vibe and chugging guitars, “Go-
Go Godzilla” is easily another standout.
“Hot Love” is reminiscent of “Tequila”
(but with less camp and more talent)
as Setzer really lets his guitar fly
amid clapping sounds. “Pickpocket”
ends “Instru-MENTAL!” on another
bluegrass-y note with picked guitar riffs
and Levy’s rolling snare.
Not only is the album a testament to
Setzer’s sometimes under-appreciated
talents and ability to make the old new
— and cool — but it’s a darn good listen,
too.

we’ve been able to retain a

Begin also said that that
another reason they wanted to
play as a Sublime tribute was
because many people on the
East Coast, despite being able
to hear the music on the ra-
dio, had never gotten to see
the band perform.
Sublime, whose music was
often a mix of ska, reggae and
alternative rock, formed in
1988 in Long Beach, Calif.
For eight years the band, com-
prised of vocalist/guitarist Bra-
dley Nowell, drummer Bud
Gaugh and bassist Eric Wilson,
made its impression on the
music scene until the death of
joying themselves.
“It’s really great music, great
fun to play,” he said. “Playing
onstage and seeing the reaction
from the crowd just going

ing.”
Combining their own music,
which is available free to

of Sublime, Begin said they
always try to make it fun and
a good time for those who
come to their shows, including
the upcoming performance at

WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 2011

By Mike Sullivan
Weekender Correspondent WW

The cast of ‘Scream 4.’

So obnoxious you could ‘Scream’

Critics like to throw around
terms like “postmodern,”
“deconstructionist,” “satirical”
and even “entertaining” to
describe the movie “Scream,”
but “Scream” was always
anything but. It was smug
and, like practically anything
produced in the ’90s, slathered
with a heavy dollop of cheap
irony. “Scream” didn’t reinvent
the slasher genre — it only
made it more facile. What’s
the point of making your
characters aware of the cliches
that surround them when they
still blindly adhere to them?
And stuffing your movie with
references to other movies
doesn’t make it smart, it makes
it “Epic Movie.” “Scream” was
never as clever as it considered
itself to be, but that didn’t stop it
from becoming popular, nor did
it stop it from spawning three
sequels each more numbingly
self-aware than the last.
“Scream 4” marks the series
at its most obnoxious. It isn’t
because the film is unnecessary,
it’s because “Scream 4”
realizes it’s unnecessary and
is only too happy to keep
reminding audiences about its
pointlessness.
In what has to count as a
first for this series, “Scream
4” opens with a sequence
that is legitimately clever.
Without giving too much
away, it’s a self-reflexive bit
that is unpredictable as well as
amusing and comments on the
original film in a gently vicious
way. Unfortunately, once this
moment ends, it’s business as
usual, and “Scream 4” quickly
conforms to its audience’s
expectations. After writing a
popular self-help tome, Sidney
Prescott (Neve Campbell), one
of the few surviving characters
in the “Scream” series, makes
a brief stop in her hometown of
Woodsboro in order to promote
the book. But on the eve of
her return, old Ghostface starts
killing off the teenaged cast. As
a side note, Kevin Williamson
returned to scripting duties on
“Scream 4” and although he
was never very good at crafting
believable dialogue, he’s really
terrible here. At 46, he now only
has the vaguest grasp of what
the teens of today are actually
like. In Williamson’s world,
all teenage girls dish about the
latest episode of “Top Chef,”
proudly display “Suspiria” on
their DVD shelves and speak
in an irritating combination
of techno jargon and movie
references.
At any rate, Sidney and her

Rear 400 State Street • Clarks Summit (Side Entrance) Knight despite the fact that
570-290-5314 Knight was looking for ideas for
PAGE 26
a track already created for the
Call For Information and Hours album.
“That was about a year ago,”
Knight said. He flew out to
O’Donnis’ house to cut the vo-
cals. “They have an intercom
system in the house. His mom
would call up, ‘Colby, dinner’s
ready!’ and he’d be like, ‘Yo,
Jordan, let’s take a break, dinner’s
ready.”
The New Kid spent a couple
days at O’Donnis’ crib and had
nothing but great things to say
about the experience — and the
food. Knight felt like a kid again
because when his band was first
starting out, it was a similar
situation. The guys would re-
hearse in Knight’s basement,
break for food upstairs and return
for more recording.
Knight didn’t talk with the
other guys about promoting his
solo project over the summer. He
insists that it won’t conflict with
anything that New Kids or BSB
are doing on tour.
“With all the people that I’m
working on with my solo project,
I told them all, ‘(The album)
cannot get in the way of the New
Kids on the Block,’” Knight said.
“I don’t want there to be any
kinds of conflict. I only want
each thing to enhance the other.”
The New England native be-
lieves that the NKOTB comeback
will help his album, but that
wasn’t the primary motivating
factor in the release of his fifth
solo LP.
“The resurgence of the New
Kids obviously gives it a lot more
exposure,” Knight admitted. “I’m
happy about that.”
Above all, it seems that Knight
is just happy to be in the mix
again, solo or with the guys.
“It’s going to be exciting,” he
said of his upcoming summer.
“We’re going back on tour and
it’s a huge arena tour with anoth-
er ‘boy band’ and the excitement,
the music, the fans … it’s just all
so much fun.” W

‘A Lesson in Secrets’
By Jacqueline Winspear
W W W W 1/2
The
history
of secrecy
By Kacy Muir
Weekender Correspondent
I
n March, author Jacqueline
Winspear published the
latest addition of the Mai-
sie Dobbs series. The eighth
book, “A Lesson in Secrets,”
chronicles the life and adven-
tures of protagonist, Maisie, as
her professional life takes an
exciting turn.
It is crucial to note that
before the prologue, Winspear
introduces two quotations that
offer counsel with regard to
sharing secrets, specifically, the
consequence. Through exam-
ining the references, readers
may infer that wherever a
secret exists between or among
people, it only takes one per-
son to bring that knowledge
forward — a seed that can
grow to have deadly results.
The novel is set in early
1930s London when Maisie
takes a secret assignment un-
der the joint efforts of Scot-
land Yard and British Intelli-
gence. As a dual investigator
and psychologist, Maisie often
works alone. Those who do
not follow the series will not
be lost, however, an interesting
reminder to mention is that
WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 2011
as a nurse in World War I, a
theme that will once again
resurface.
In taking the assignment,
Maisie reinvents herself as a
professor, only now, with an
ulterior motive. As one of the
leading investigators, her as-
signment is to find any indi-
viduals associated with the
Nazi movement during Pre-War
London.
Prior to World War II, there
were a number of British sym-
pathizers who accommodated
the Nazi cause. Though Win-
spear’s novel is a work of
fiction, she has historically
employed factual observations
throughout the novel to drama-
tize and develop her plot fur-
ther. Violence, for example, is
depicted in the book in such a
realistic way that at times, the
content can be a bit rough to
read. Of course, the imagery is
believable, as Winspear cre-
atively adapted the recollec-
tions from history.
Even considering the struc-
tured plot, Winspear weaves
the chapters in a suspenseful
way without losing her footing.
While there are reoccurring
characters throughout the book,
each portrayal remains diverse,
a task Winspear seems to do
with great ease.
The series has gained a
wide range of readers due to
the blending of historical fic-
tion, violence and even ro-
mance. The only aspect of the
novel that can be bothersome
is Winspear’s tendency to give
aspects of the plot away much
too early in the book. Other-
wise, it should be noted that
as a writer, Winspear has very
few weaknesses, which is why
she remains one of the most
adequate writers covering the
genre of historical mystery.
Even considering
the structured plot,
Winspear weaves
the chapters in a
suspenseful way
without losing her
footing.

If only bullying was just smoke,

And these days, bullying isn’t just

still bullies who use physical force,
but cyberbullying has grown in leaps
and bounds since it seems everyone
now has a social media page.
Nearly 42 percent of kids have
been bullied online, and almost one
in four have had it happen more than

they felt when they were bullied.”
BBBS’ anti-bullying program began
earlier this year, and the organization
has done some anti-violence
programs in local low-income housing
developments and recently partnered
with Wyoming Valley West Middle
School.
“We’re actually doing groups on
site,” Olaviany said. “We meet some
of the students there that have been
involved in some way in a bullying
incident, either witnessed or was a
victim or were a bully.
WVW Middle School also
established a “Know Bull” project as
part of its relationship with BBBS. It
is another step the school is taking to
be a no-tolerance zone for bullying.
“It’s a way to work with the
students to take control of their
school and establishing that culture,”
Olaviany said.
The anti-bullying program works
with six, seventh and eighth graders
and one of the first things program
facilitators do is have the kids talk
about what bullying is and what is
considered a bully.
down on the final “Concert
For A Cause” on April 27, it
will be a bittersweet night for many
of the bands on the bill. Some have
been with the show since it began
as “Concert For Karen” in 1999,
while some were later added to the
roster and yet still became among
the event’s biggest supporters. In
2009, in recognition of the show’s
10th anniversary, Mayor Tom
Leighton declared “Concert For A
Cause Day” in the City of Wilkes-
Barre, and a big part of the reason
was to acknowledge the hundreds
of musicians that had raised
considerable amount money for
local charities.
This year’s show will feature
a few special performances. The

since 2005, will return. And Eric

Given the age of the kids in the
program, most likely they aren’t
thinking too much about other people
yet.

As the final CFC approaches, we
talked to just a few of the more
than 100 musicians that will be
plugging in at The Woodlands next
week and asked them to share
their thoughts and memories.
“It’s been unbelievable event,
year after year,” says Mike
Krakosky of Plus 3, whose band
announced earlier this week
that CFC 9 will also be its final
performance. “We’ve always
looked at it as the show every year,
and I’m sure we’re far from being
the only ones that feel that way.
“It always gave us an
opportunity to get together with
our friends from other bands,
enjoy the night and absorb the
entire local music scene,” he
adds. “As a huge fan of local
music, I looked forward to seeing
all of the other bands’ sets and
always mapped out my night to
make sure I got to hear a little bit
of everything. To be able to be a
part of it and help out different
worthwhile charities every year,
all in one night, was simply an
amazing experience.”
Though he has many found
musical memories of playing CFC,
Krakosky’s favorite is much more
personal.

 Style files
By Rachel A. Pugh
Weekender General Manager
Marissa Phillips, left, and some of her jewelry.
Strange Days jewelry’s dramatic appeal
T
he Weekender got the opportunity
to interview local punk and
Gothic fashionista Marissa
Phillips. A 25-year-old jewelry designer
from Kingston, Phillips, who recently
became a staff writer for Gothic Beauty
Magazine and writes the alternative
fashion blog Fashion Vandals at
fashionvandals.tumblr.com, talks about
her inspiration and what can be expected
from her edgy creations.
WEEKENDER: Who is Marissa
Phillips?
PHILLIPS: I’m an alternative
fashion fanatic — it’s all I talk about, so
I pity my friends who constantly have
to listen. While I have my own projects,
I just love encouraging and supporting
everyone else who is doing what it
is they want to do, whether or not it
garners mainstream recognition. And I’m
always keeping busy, always juggling
a few projects at once. While I’ve been
writing and making jewelry for years,
I’ve recently begun to more actively
pursue fashion journalism, and I’ve also
been dabbling in modeling and makeup
artistry.
WEEKENDER: How would you
describe your jewelry?
PHILLIPS: I have an obsession with
Gothic and punk fashion, but I also have
a major soft spot for the Victorian era,
so somehow I try to combine all of those
aspects. One day I’ll create a piece that’s
dripping with keys and layers of chain,
while another day I’ll combine delicate
glass pearls with fabric roses. It’s too
hard to settle on one style to focus on
100 percent, so I just take all the things I
love and try to make them meet halfway.
WEEKENDER: What inspires you?
PHILLIPS: I’m huge into Japanese
street fashion. The Japanese Gothic
Lolita subculture specificially, which
manages to be both sinister and delicate,
is a huge inspiration for me. I also have
my walls plastered with my personal
fashion icons/muses, which include
Neo-Victorian musician Emilie Autumn,
burlesque queen Veronica Varlow and
punk rock vixen Siouxsie Sioux.
WEEKENDER: Where do you get
the materials for your designs?
PHILLIPS: Besides the obvious
craft-supply stores, I scour a lot of thrift
stores and flea markets for interesting
charms and other components that make
a lot of my pieces one-of-a-kind. Also,
a lot of people like to give me pieces of
old, broken jewelry that they’ve been
holding onto for years, hoping I can
breathe new life into it.
WEEKENDER: Where can people
buy your jewelry?
PHILLIPS: You can purchase my
jewelry online and in person. You can
find what I guess I’d consider some of
my more subtle or conventional pieces
at the Arts Seen Gallery in downtown
Wilkes-Barre. For my pieces that are
more dramatic, I have an online shop,
Strange Days at www.ourstrangedays.
etsy.com. There is also a Strange
Days facebook page (facebook.com/
ourstrangedays) where anyone can
message me and discuss a custom order.
WEEKENDER: Who are some of
your favorite alternative designers?
PHILLIPS: Oh wow, there are so
many. While the Japanese designer,
Naoto Hirooka, will forever hold the
No. 1 spot on my list of top designers,
the two brands I’ve really had my
eye on lately are Toxic Vision and
Jeantrix. Toxic Vision’s latest line
included studded lace cloaks and
spiked leather hot-pants, while Jeantrix
caught my attention with their sparkled
designer eyepatches. My personal style
preferences are a bit over the top.
WEEKENDER: How can people
check out more of your designs?
WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 2011
PHILLIPS: While people can
always check out my shop on Etsy, I’d
say a good way to stay up to date on
my creations is to check out my blog. I
create a lot of things that don’t always
necessarily make it into the store or
the art gallery. For instance, I’ve been
working on some random projects lately,
such as homemade lip glosses and
spiked bras. Something like that I don’t
put up for direct sale, but I post about it
on my blog, and as always, if anyone’s
interested all they have to do is let me
know.
WEEKENDER: What plans do you
have for your jewelry in the future?
PHILLIPS: I have a number of
things on the way in the near future.
There’s not all that much on my online
shop right now, but that’s because in
just a few weeks I’ll be premiering
a whole new line of jewelry. Expect
huge, shoulder-length chain earrings
and a wide variety of connector rings.
Basically, expect drama ... and lots of
chain. Also, in a few weeks, I’m going to
make some major changes to my blog. I
have some fun things in store for anyone

LEGENDS RETURNS
With baseball season in full
effect at PNC Field (235 Mon-
tage Mountain Road, Moosic),
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yan-
kees fans are able to dine at the
onsite restaurant that is once
again called Legends at PNC
Field.
Last season, Bo Brothers
operated the space, but Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees
President Kristen Rose told
The Times Leader last week
that Bo Brothers’ owners, who
still operate a location in Wyom-
ing, decided not to renew its
contract for this season.
Prior to Legends at PNC Field,
the restaurant had been The
Stadium Club, which closed in
January 2009. The space was
reopened as Legends on opening
day that year. Rose said that
diners can expect nearly the same
menu Legends used to serve in
2009. She also stated that the
restaurant will only be open on
game days two hours before the
first pitch, and when the Yankees
have away games on the week-
ends, the restaurant will be
closed. W

sorry mom & dad
By Justin Brown
Weekender Correspondent
Rebel with a cause
D
ear Mom & Dad,
One lesson “fraternity
life” has introduced to me
is the importance of philanthropy,
the act of lending a helping hand
where support is needed. Wheth-
er it’s been canning to raise mon-
ey for a guy who lost his leg in a
motorcycle accident or devoting
an afternoon to make ill ado-
lescents smile at Children’s Hos-
pital, we have come together to
show the world we are all broth-
ers and should unite as one.
Don’t misunderstand, Mom and
Dad, there is a lot of fun and
games involved, but we also
realize the effect we have on our
collegiate peers, utilizing that to
make as much of a positive dif-
ference as we can.
Someone on a larger scale who
uses their platform to make a
difference is Mike C. Manning.
Most people know him from
MTV’s “The Real World: DC.” I
know him as the recipient of the
Rebel with A Cause Award,
which I awarded him for fear-
lessly trailblazing a step in the
right direction concerning gay
rights, even though it’s a topic
people still feel strongly against.
When I presented him with the
award, I also got a few words
with him:
WEEKENDER: What en-
couraged your activism?
MANNING: Gay rights seems
so common sense to me. Being
denied certain rights just because
of who you choose to hold hands
with is discrimination any way
you look at it. I just think if I
have a platform I should do
something about it.
WEEKENDER: What ad-
vice do you have for people
who share your passion but
don’t know how to get in-
volved?
MANNING: Start small. Start
in your community. And it
doesn’t have to be gay rights, it
can be anything that fires you up.
Use Google to research what
groups or organizations are in
your community.
WEEKENDER: Some peo-
ple may feel they’re too busy to
get involved. What are some
tips you can give to help people
balance busy schedules and
still show their support?
MANNING: If you’re pas-
sionate about something, find a
way to incorporate it into your
motorhead

Ride of
the Week
By Michael Golubiewski
Special to the Weekender
life. If you go to church and hear
something you disagree with,
write a letter to your pastor about
it. If you care enough about
something, you’ll find a way.
WEEKENDER: You’re do-
ing an excellent job at breaking
stereotypes within the gay com-
munity, but there is still so
much ignorance. As someone
who is transitioning from real-
ity TV to acting, do you fear
your activism will affect you
from reaching your profession-
al career goals?
MANNING: That’s something
I had to think about. A lot of
good people around me told me
Hollywood isn’t ready for an
openly gay A-List actor. I feel
people respect you more for
1981
being honest, and I’m trying to
be a trailblazer. It’s been working
for me so far.
And working, it has — Man-
ning is keeping busy promoting
his upcoming romantic comedy
“eCupid,” traveling the country
on his “Coming Out For Equal-
ity” college speaking tour and
preparing for his fundraiser with
the LA Gay & Lesbian Center
“Lifeworks” Youth Program to
help LGBT teens who are home-
less because their families don’t
accept them.
CHEVROLET CHEVETTE
After speaking with Mike, I
realized I should get involved
with something that fires me up: Engine:

The lack of funding for college
students. So I decided I’ll run in

Judgment day
R
ecently here in Northeast
Pennsylvania (Our Motto:
“In the country of the
blind, the one-eyed man is
king”), we have had a spate of
judges being caught with their
assets hanging out. It’s all part
of an on-going probe by the
federal authorities. I think the
salient part of that is the word
“probe” for when you have been
probed by the feds, you walk
funny for a while. Think “elec-
tric cattle prod.”
Without becoming a news
column, (there is little danger of
that) to summarize, here is a
typical article, this one from
CNN:
“Luzerne County, in the heart
of Pennsylvania’s struggling coal
country, has fallen prey to cor-
ruption. The county has been
rocked by a kickback scandal
involving two elected judges
who essentially jailed kids for
cash. Many of the children had
appeared before judges without
a lawyer.”
By the way, this phrase: “Lu-
zerne County, in the heart of
Pennsylvania’s struggling coal
country” is what we in “strug-
gling coal country” love to see
in print. Hello, rest of the world.
Coal has not been mined here in
any quantity since the Knox
mine disaster in 1959. We may
be “struggling” but it has noth-
ing to do with coal. So please
strike “struggling coal country”
from your cliches to fill up my
word count hand book. Thank
you.
Where was I?
Another Luzerne County
judge, Michael Toole, pleaded
guilty to corruption charges.
Toole admitted in open court
that he was opening up and
guzzling a 30-pack, daily, of
cold frosty ones. You have to
admire a man who can do that.
Gives the phrase “Sober as a
judge” a new meaning. I have to
whole lot time in the little
judge’s room. Either that he was
also dependent on Depends.
So judges don’t have a great
reputation in our area right now.
There are, in fact, people I
know who spit on the sidewalk
WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 2011
when you mention the word
judge.
There is some sort of primary
upcoming. May 17. If I have
this right, voters will get to
choose some candidates who, if
everything goes their way, will
become new judges.
I don’t follow politics. It
bores me to tears and makes me
unreasonably mad at the same
time. I did register to vote and
voted once in my life. It didn’t
work out then, and I have no
evidence to support the idea that
it might work out again.
I know we need judges. I
have met some that I actually
thought were fair and impartial.
Oddly enough, the ones I liked
are no longer on the bench, but
they left on their own. An hon-
est judge? I think that you
might find one in Luzerne
County someday. With a strong
light and a full-out search. You
may also find your ass with
both hands and flashlight. But
right now, I can’t imagine any-
one who has a lick of sense
would want to be one. Possibly
that is the job description: Don’t
have a lick of sense? Drink a
lot? You are the perfect candi-
date. Become a Luzerne County
judge.
But that idea has not appar-
ently lodged in the brains of the
wouldbes/wannabes. I know this
because I see the signs. The
signs on the highways to be
more specific. Those little “yard
signs” that pop up like daffodils.
I am a law-abiding citizen. I
have great respect for marketing.
But I would much rather see
daffodils. Or even litter. I am
not sure why, but the signs for
judicial candidates make me
furious.
The life expectancy of signs
for judges (or any candidate for
any office) on or even near the
Rising ranch is similar to that of
Drosophila melanogaster. That is
a fruit fly, and they don’t live
long. W

WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 2011
By Dale Culp
Weekender Correspondent
‘Portal 2,’ above, is one of many gaming releases this
week.
'Portal Kombat
Day'
T
his is an incredible week to
be a gamer. We’re getting
some huge releases that a
lot of fans have been looking
forward to. First up, “Portal 2”
from Valve Software.
It’s been a while since we last
POTTER heard from GLaDOS (Genetic
Lifeform and Disk Operating
System), the lead antagonist of
2007’s Game of the Year, “Portal.”
Owner: When we last saw her, she was in
a thousand pieces, just scattered,
Kassandra Lutchko burning wreckage. As the psy-
Wilkes-Barre chotic creation of the mysterious
Aperture Laboratories, “doing
science” at some grizzly, human
cost, we thought she was gone for
Enter your pet for Weekender’s good. Yet, as the flames died
PET OF THE WEEK down into smoldered ash, she
could still be heard, eerily taunt-
by sending photo, pet’s name, breed ing us with a little ditty by Jo-
if applicable, owner’s name and nathan Coulton called “Still
Alive.” And then, on April 19,
hometown to: 2011, she came back.
weekender@theweekender.com The first “Portal” was a master-
PAGE 56
piece. The central plot of the
subject line: Pet of the Week
267585
game revolved around a series of
tests that the player, playing as the
female protagonist, Chell, would
have to perform in order to sur-
vive. Each of these tests required
the use of a “portal gun” that
could open holes in two different
points in time and space, allowing
the operator to pass through them,
instantly crossing large distances.
At the heart of these tests was
GLaDOS, an artificial intelli-
gence that would coax the player
along with empty promises and,
when that approached failed,
insults and threats. Of course, by
the end of the game, you’ve made
a few grim discoveries about the
fate of Aperture Laboratories and
the true nature of GLaDOS. In the
end, you’re left with a lot more
questions than answers.
Between “Portal’s” unique
gameplay concept, intriguing
setting and hilariously dark hu-
mor, it’s no wonder it struck a
chord with gamers all over the
world. Tie in the references to
Valve Software’s other hugely
popular franchise, “Half-Life,”
and, suddenly, “Portal” goes from
a neat diversion to a twisted chap-
ter in an overarching story that we
haven’t even scratched the surface
of. What, really, was going on at
Aperture Labs? Where did the
staff go? Who is Chell? Who were
the other test subjects, and how
does it all tie-in with the events
that occurred at Black Mesa?
Well, looks like we’re finally
going to get some answers.
“Portal 2” is available for Mac,
PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
MERE MORTALS
A
nother huge release this
week is “Mortal Kombat”
(or, “Mortal Kombat 9”).
Available now on PlayStation 3
and Xbox 360, “Mortal Kombat”
is the latest installment in the
legendary fighting game fran-
chise featuring many of the char-
acters from the arcade smash hit.
The story takes place sometime
after the events of “Mortal Kom-
bat: Armageddon,” but goes back
to the era the first three games
took place in.
History is being altered as
Raiden sends warnings to his past
self about the events that have
unfolded in “Armageddon.” With
Raiden’s enlightenment comes a
vastly different timeline, resulting
in a series of events that sees
some characters radically
changed from the original history.
As the tournament goes on, play-
ers will have a choice between 26
characters to fight as, featuring
dozens of moves and fatalities to
use in their battles.
Developer NetherRealm Stu-
dios have been working hard to
make the game as accessible to
casual players while giving play-
ers who want to delve a little
deeper into the game plenty of
complexity, style and strategy to
work with. Overall, it’s still the
same one-on-one fighting experi-
ence that fans have come to ex-
pect, featuring 3-D graphics on a
2-dimensional plane.
These are just two of the big-
gest releases this week, causing
many to dub April 19 “Portal
Kombat Day.” However, you
might also want to head to your
local retailer to take a look at
some of the other big titles that
launched this week, including
“SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy Seals” on
PlayStation 3, “Conduit 2” on Wii
and “Final Fantasy IV: The Com-
plete Collection” for PlayStation
Portable. W

Weekender Correspondent
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
Americans don’t have a monopoly on
body fascism, but we’re certainly conten-
ders for first place. Goodness forbid you
have hair in the wrong place (or too little
in the right place) or smell like a human
being instead of a flower or have any other
physical “imperfection.” While having
standards of beauty is inevitable, yours
could do with being a bit wider and less
rigidly enforced. Being down to earth
means embracing all that rough-edged
earthly stuff and hopefully seeing the sexy
beauty in it. This week, instead of stocking
up on the newest antiperspirant, try that.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
There’s a difference between those who
don’t cheat because they worry about
getting caught and those who don’t do it
because they know it’s wrong and
wouldn’t make them feel good. Eventually,
the former will get around to it no matter
what. Determining what kind of person
you’re dealing with is of paramount im-
portance this week. Becoming paranoid,
nosy and controlling isn’t a fate I’d wish
on you, so if you suspect you’ve fallen in
with one of those would-be cheaters just
waiting for an opportunity, you might
want to get out now while you still can.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
Embracing and experiencing your emo-
tions is one thing; allowing them to com-
pletely dominate and overwhelm you, and
hold you back from the things you want
— that’s quite another. It’s tricky for you
Cancers because you feel things so vividly
and powerfully, and you don’t want to
deny or shut down that potent source of
strength and vitality. However, learning
how to rein those feelings in without shut-
ting down is a valuable and necessary tool
if you ever want to achieve lasting content-
ment and success. That, my dear, is this
week’s (and your life’s ongoing) lesson.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
By this time, you should have figured
out that walking any path forged by some-
one else will only work for you for a short
time. Ultimately, the only way to get to
where you’re going, and be happy about it,
is to blaze your own trail. You can be
inspired by someone else, or even copy
aspects of what they’ve been up to, but in
the end, you need to make your own rules,
schedule, and route. If you’re walking in
someone else’s footprints, it’s now time to
consider when to break off and head in
your own direction — probably soon.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
How much power you’re willing to lend
to someone else says a lot about you and
where you’re at in life. Some people can’t
help but render themselves virtually help-
less in certain situations (especially ro-
mantic ones); others have trouble giving
up any control whatsoever. Most of us fall
somewhere in the middle. There’s no
recipe for what amount of power to hold
onto or let go of, but there is a “right”
amount, it’s just that it’s different for every
specific situation. Hold on too tight, and
you’ll strangle all life out of it; give up too
much, and it’ll never go where you’re
hoping. This week, do your best to figure
it out. If you screw it up, chalk it up to a
lesson that’ll help you do better next time.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Severe disappointment is difficult to get
over — but try to remember that everyone
experiences it at some points in their lives,
and most of us many, many times. You
don’t have a monopoly on feeling let
down, nor is shutting down and giving up
completely a viable response to what
you’re feeling now, even if it’s what you’re
intensely tempted to do. Au contraire! The
quicker you can get back to blank slate
status — that is, truly open about the next
promising possibility (without secretly
believing it’ll turn out just like this one) —
the better.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Sometimes there’s just so much on your
plate that you want to retreat from the
world, get stoned/drunk/etc., and try to
forget about it all. Sometimes you do just

that, but you know by now that it’s a slip-
pery slope. The longer you put off this
stuff, the more it piles up, and the worse
the temptation becomes to be irresponsible
and numb your mind to it all. Don’t be too
hard on yourself, however. I suggest giving
yourself permission to retreat — after
you’ve done just one (or two) things. Even
if they’re small things, facing this stuff
tomorrow will be that much easier if you
just suck it up and get them done today,
right now.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Don’t be blinded by the beauty of the
swan. The swan is mean and only has eyes
for other swans, anyway. Admire it from
afar, but don’t bother trying to get close to
it. Spend your time and energy, instead,
focusing on learning to notice and appre-
ciate beauty that comes in less obvious,
but more sustainable, forms. This is your
path to happiness. Naturally, there’ll be
many factors and influences trying to steer
you from it, but if you can train your mind
and heart towards ideas and patterns that’ll
make you happier and more fulfilled than
you’ve ever been, why the hell wouldn’t
you?
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
Repeating the same action and expect-
ing different results is one definition of
insanity. Of course, it’s easy enough to
realize that’s what you’re doing and switch
things up when solving a scientific prob-
lem, but it’s quite another when dealing
with emotions, which are, by definition,
irrational and nearly impossible to control.
These are the sources of patterns we get
WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 2011
stuck in. Sometimes you simply have to
rope yourself, through brute logical force,
into taking a different path. That may very
well be the case this week, when your
feelings are likely to take you down the
same route you’ve taken so many times
before. If you want a different outcome,
though, you’ll need to head in a different
direction — so do that, by hook or by
crook.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
How comfortable are you with dark-
ness? I’m not just talking about your bed-
room once the lights are out, I mean the
darker aspects of your own nature. How
about those facets of someone else?
Sometimes, true love and intimacy means
embracing and accepting those as well as
all the brilliant and joyful things that made
you fall for them in the first place. This
week may very well present a test of your
devotion. Will you brave those dark plac-
es, or run screaming? Sticking it out can
only increase the sum total of trust here,
so if you can manage it, it’s worth your
while.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
Being flexible is one thing, but some-
times you bend over backwards so far you
might as well be lying on your back,
counting the footprints on your chest. As
long as you keep accommodating other
people’s demands, they will certainly keep
making them. There’s no magical line
they’ll cross and suddenly realize they’re
asking too much — unless you draw one.
This week, you need to do exactly that.
Naturally, saying it’s there won’t quite do
the trick. The first thing all those chest-
walkers will do is experiment by stepping
right over it. What you do next will deter-
mine whether you get to continue your
interactions as their equal, or their door-
mat.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
The story’s never done being written,
even if it feels that way. Even death or
distance doesn’t stop the tale. The only
thing that can end it is you, by refusing to
add to it in any way. You may think you
know the conclusion to this one, but some-
times the best stories have surprise twists
at the end. Be open to one of those here —
and if it’s in your direct power to make one
happen, I can’t encourage you enough to
do so. It could spell the difference between
a happy ending and a potentially tragic
one. W
