Letter from the editor
I
ve been
kind of
slow on the
uptake of
Christmas this
year.
Like a little
kid, I usually
start frothing
for The Big
Day once
Thanksgiving
hits and watch
and rewatch
my favorite
holiday movies (Elf, Love
Actually, National Lampoons
Christmas Vacation, A Christ-
mas Story and the How the
Grinch Stole Christmas car-
toon), blast Christmas music,
sip holiday-inspired toddies and
bask in the glow of our teal-
decorated tree.
Not this year, though. As
proud of myself as I am that I
got my shopping 98 percent
done in one fell swoop earlier
this month, I didnt even watch
my first movie until this past
Sunday. But now that Christmas
week is here, Im starting to get
that gleam in my eye, like the
Old Man from A Christmas
Story when theres turkey in
his vicinity.
Its not so much because of
the gift receiving (though thats
always an enjoyable occurrence,
of course), but I love giving my
loved ones presents. Especially
when I know I did quite good
by them this
year. And espe-
cially since I am
horrific at keep-
ing secrets so I
cant wait to
have the presents
neath the tree
out of my pos-
session because I
am pretty close
to bursting.
Having said
that, I cant wait
for you to go
through this weeks issue. If you
still need to make your New
Years Eve plans, read about
First Night in Scranton in Staff
Writer Stephanie DeBalkos
cover story on pages 16-17. This
years event theme fast-forwards
to rock n roll from last years
Victorian era.
Catch up with NEPA natives
Kite Party, which recently
signed to a Los Angeles-based
record label (p. 34), find out
about the Samsung Galaxy
Nexus, the first phone to run
the latest version of Googles
Android operating system in
Tech Talk (p. 46) and welcome
our newest column, Just for the
Health of It, on p. 66.
On behalf of all of us here at
the Weekender, we wish you
and yours a wonderful, happy
Christmas. Thanks for reading!

Tell @wkdr
your favorite
Christmas
memory
Seeing the tip of the Barbie
Dream House roof as I
approached my gifts from Santa.
Decorating our house for
Christmas.
Either getting a Nintendo or a
Nintendo Game Boy from my
grandparents. As a young kid,
that was pretty special.
Christmas Eve, when my family
comes over after dinner its
the calm before the insanity.
Christmas Eve dinners at
Uncle Stanley and Aunt
Karens.
Mine is more of a tradition:
Baking Christmas cookies on
Christmas Eve with my Poppy
and younger sisters.
Waiting for my dad to set up
the video camera before my
brothers and I could open gifts.
Time with loved ones and
being the donkey in my grade
schools Nativity play.
What is your favorite
Christmas memory?

Online comment
of the week.
I am well-armed for the war
on Christmas: Ground-to-
air mistletoe, check. Pecan
clusterbombs, check. Canister
of peppermint spray, check.

NO BONES ABOUT IT
Reportedly, The Jim Bone
Show, which airs from 6-10 a.m.
on 97.9X, has been canceled, and
Bone and co-host Rebecca Blake
are no longer with the Cumulus
Media-owned station.
While Bone declined to com-
ment, Program Director James
McKay told the Weekender
Tuesday that It is company
policy not to confirm anything.
In other 97.9X news, McKay is
exiting the station effective Fri-
day, Dec. 23 after seven and a
half years. He will attend Coastal
Carolina University in South
Carolina to obtain his ph.D. in
physical therapy, a field he be-
came interested in from his PT
workout buddies.
They always sounded really,
really fulfilled, McKay said. I
took an anatomy class at
L.C.C.C. and loved it; the more I
learned, the more I wanted to
learn.
McKay said hell miss coming
up with crazy ideas to try out at
the station.
It feels like Im not going to
have a voice anymore, he said.
Id be able to get on air and say
whatever I wanted and have peo-
ple call me and tell me Im
wrong or Im right.
Of the things hell miss about
NEPA, its definitely not the
climate, but the people that top
the list, and hes thankful hell get
a chance to have a final show,
especially after seeing the out-
pouring of well wishes from
listeners.
Not many DJs get a chance to
say goodbye, I get to pick my last
song, he said. Its between two,
but itll be a secret.
NO LAUGHING MATTER
Local horror film director
Adam Dunning will hold an

6 from1-10 p.m. at The Hamp-
ton Inn (22 Montage Mountain
Road, Scranton). The snow res-
chedule date is Monday, Feb. 13.
Laughter follows a confused
and bullied young teen who pulls
a last-minute prank on his fellow
classmates, when something goes
terribly wrong. There are several
leading and extra roles available;
production begins in the spring.
This is a non-paying film.
Dunnings 2010 film, The
inFected recently wrapped a
film-festival circuit in Pennsylva-
nia and Texas. For more info on
Laughter, e-mail dunn-
lacka@yahoo.com or find the

JUST LIKE OLD TIMES
Scranton outfit And The
Moneynotes will reunite Thurs-
day, Dec. 22 for a show at The
Bog (341 Adams Ave., Scranton).
Were still all good friends,
and we see each other all the time
we just wanted to get together
and have some fun, Brian
Craig, who mans the washboard,
percussion and mandolin, told the
Weekender last week.
The show starts at 10 p.m., and
Langor opens. There is a $5
cover.
RAISE A GLASS
Zack Glass will perform Fri-
day, Dec. 30 from 9-11:30 p.m. at
the State Street Grill (114 S.
State St., Clarks Summit).
The son of legendary compos-
er Philip Glass, Glass was play-
ing piano and electric guitar and
writing his own songs by the time
he was 13. He released his latest
CD, Southern Skies, this past
summer.

IN THE END ZONE
Gary Haase has been an-
nounced as the new head coach
of the NEPA Miners.
Haase most recently held a
16-5 record in two seasons (2010-
2011) as head coach of the New
Jersey Stags and is defensive
coordinator at High Point Re-
gional High School in New
Jersey. Haase served a brief stint
with the Miners in 2009 as offen-
sive coordinator under Donnie
Jackson-Bey.
I am honored to become part
of such a great franchise, he said
in a recent press release. The
Miners truly are a first-class
organization; everything from
their front office, stadium, com-
munity presence and team mar-
keting made my decision an easy
one. Northeast Pennsylvania is
rich in football talent, I have been
recruiting players from the min-
ute I accepted the head coaching
position. Expect big things from
the Miners in 2012.
Haase will be introduced with
new player signings at a future
press conference. For more info,
visit nepaminers.com. W

HOLE IN ONE
When Tattoos Arent Nearly
Enough: In some primitive cul-
tures, beauty and status are dis-
played via large holes in the
earlobe from which to hang
heavy ornaments or to insert
jewels or tokens, and BBC News
reported in November that an
increasing number of counter-
culture Westerners are getting
their lobes opened far beyond
routine piercing, usually by grad-
ually stretching but sometimes
with a hole-punch tool for imme-
diate results. The hard core are
gauge kings (or queens), show-
ing a commitment to the life-
style by making holes up to 10
mm (three-eighths inch) wide.
(Cosmetic surgeons told BBC
News in November that theyre
already preparing procedures for
the inevitable wave of regretted
decisions.)
RECURRING THEMES
-- Corruption in some Latin
American prisons has allowed
powerful criminals to buy ex-
traordinary privileges behind
bars. News of the Weirds report
on Venezuelas San Antonio
prison in July described the im-
perial reign of one drug lord-
inmate, who presided over a
personal armory, a local-commu-
nity drug market and private
parties (and with his own Di-
recTV account). In a surprise
raid in November on a prison in
Acapulco, Mexico, the usual
drugs and weapons turned up,
but also 100 fighting roosters for
daily gambling, along with a
prisoners two pet peacocks.
-- The lives of many choking
victims have been saved by the
Heimlich Maneuver even one
received inadvertently, such as
the one a Leesburg, Fla., motorist
gave himself in 2001, after gag-
ging on a hamburger, then losing
control and smashing into a
utility pole. As he was thrust
against the steering wheel, the
burger dislodged. In November
2011, as the mother of 8-year-old
Laci Davis drove her to a Cincin-
nati hospital after a locket stuck
in her throat and caused her to
double over in pain, Mom hit a
pothole, which jarred Laci and
dislodged the locket loose into
her stomach (later to come out
naturally).
-- It seemed a rare event (first
reported in 1994 but initially
regarded as an urban legend).
However, twice now recently,
workers have played a particular-
ly dangerous prank on a col-
league. A month after the recent
News of the Weird story about
Gareth Durrants lawsuit in En-
gland against co-workers who
had inserted a compressed-air
hose into his rectum, a carpen-
ters assistant in Nicosia, Cyprus,
was jailed for 45 days for pulling
the same stunt on his colleague,
rupturing his large intestine.
-- Ten years ago, the fashion-
able bulletproof clothing industry
was in its infancy, with Miss
Israel creating a stir at the 2001
Miss Universe pageant with a
bulletproof evening gown. Since
then, technology and design
improvements (along with more
rich people!) have enabled lead-
ing stylist Miguel Caballero of
Colombia to add to his fashion
line. The New Yorker reported in
September 2011 that Caballero
had made a bulletproof dinner
jacket for Sean Combs and kimo-
no for Steven Seagal, and that
Caballero clothes are available in
strengths of bullet-stopping, from
9 mm to Uzi.
-- Rumors that daring youth
are inserting tampons soaked in
vodka into body orifices to speed
alcohol delivery have been
around for at least 10 years. Curi-
ously, the only regular-sourced
news stories come from TV
stations in Phoenix (KNXV-TV
in 2009 and KPHO-TV in 2011),
and the urban legends source
Snopes.com calls the whole idea
far-fetched. Nonetheless, in No-
vember 2011, a school resource
officer told KPHOs Elizabeth
Erwin that there are document-
ed cases and that guys, too,
engage by inserting the tampons
into their rectums. Dr. Dan Quan
of the Maricopa Medical Center
cautioned against the practice,
warning of the dangers of muco-
sal irritation.
-- Anti-government survivalists
engaged in high-profile standoffs
have made News of the Weird
most recently the story of Ed
Brown and his wife and support-
ers, resisting a federal tax bill,
holed up for nine months in the
New Hampshire woods near
Plainfield in 2007. (The Browns
were arrested by a U.S. marshal
who tricked his way inside.) The
longest-running standoff now is
probably that of John Joe Gray,
63, and his extended family in a
47-acre, well-fortified compound
in Trinidad, Texas, southeast of
Dallas. They have lived ascetic
settlers lives since Gray jumped
bail in 2000 on a traffic charge.
Gray has said he feels free on his
land and warned authorities
better bring plenty of body
bags if they try to re-arrest him.
UPDATES
-- Unlicensed surgeon-cas-
trator Edward Bodkin re-surfaced
recently after more than a decade
under the radar. He was sen-
tenced to four years in prison in
1999 in Huntington, Ind., for
unauthorized practice of med-
icine (removing the testicles,
with consent, of five men). Bod-
kin was arrested in August 2011
in Wetumpka, Ala., and charged
with possession of child pornog-
raphy, but authorities also reco-
vered castration equipment,
videos of castrations, photos of
testicles in jars and a form con-
tract apparently used by Bodkin
to obtain the consent of men
going under his knife.
-- In January 2009, the New
Jersey Division of Youth and
Family Services removed three
kids from the home of Heath and
Deborah Campbell in Holland
Twp., apparently after becoming
alarmed that the Campbells
might be white supremacists.
Though a court later concluded
that the kids had been abused,
the Campbells told the New York
Daily News in October 2011 that
the state acted only based on the
names the parents had given the
kids Adolf Hitler Campbell,
who was then 3, and his then-1-
year-old sisters, Honszlynn Hin-
ler Jeannie Campbell and Joyce-
Lynn Aryan Nation Campbell.
The Campbells have consistently
denied that they are neo-Nazis.
-- Thomas Beatie was big news
in March 2008 when he and his
wife, Nancy, decided to start a
family, except that Thomas, not
Nancy, took on the child-bearing
responsibilities. (Thomas, born a
female, had his breasts removed
but retained his reproductive
organs.) Thomas got pregnant,
appeared on Oprah, and sub-
sequently had three children
(who mugged delightfully for the
cameras on the syndicated TV
show The Doctors in October
2011). He also revealed on the
show that it might be time to get
his tubes tied, as each pregnancy
requires him, irritatingly, to aban-
don his male hormone regimen.

ralphie report
the
By Ralphie Aversa
Special to the Weekender
I
f youre still not convinced
that Taylor Swift possesses a
pretty good amount of clout
these days, look no further than
Ryan Follese, the lead singer of
Hot Chelle Rae. Ryan used to
go by R.K. (his middle name is
Keith). Then, Taylor Swift tweet-
ed.
Taylor Swift called me Ryan
to her 8 million followers, Fol-
lese explained, noting its easier
to search for Ryan Follese on the
Internet than R.K. That many
fans rolled over to our fan base
and our stuff, and it was just
easier.
Swift is far from the only
reason, though, that more people
are discovering the Nashville
quartet. After scoring a No. 1 hit
this year with, Tonight Tonight,
HCR released its sophomore LP,
Whatever. Promoting the new
album took the band all across
national TV, from The Tonight
Show with Jay Leno to Live!
with Kelly. Although for guita-
rist Nash Overstreet, the groups
performance on Late Night
with Jimmy Fallon stood out
from the rest.
Fallon was the coolest just
because of, like, the set, and it
was later in the day, so were not
waking up and all groggy, Over-
street said. He was one of the
coolest guys ever, just really
friendly, and so it was great to be
on that show.
Certainly it didnt hurt that the
other guests that evening were
actor Jeremy Piven and rapper
T.I. It also didnt hurt that Fallon
told HCR he was a big fan of the
groups work.
But as cool as Fallon was,
perhaps the guys biggest TV
appearance to date was the
American Music Awards,
where the band won the Sprint
New Artist of the Year award.
The nominees and winner were
voted on by the fans.
We werent expecting to make
it past the first round, Follese
admitted. But our fans, they
mobilized on another level.
Hot Chelle Rae recently an-
nounced dates for the 2012
Beautiful Freaks Tour, on
which the band will headline
across the country. In between
those dates, HCR will once again
rub elbows with the oh-so-influ-
ential Swift, as it supports her
through a tour of Australia.
SLADE PROMISES SEXY
RECORD
The life of a rock star around
the holiday season is not all fun
and games. Just ask The Fray
lead singer Isaac Slade.
Were doing a big Christmas
party that we had to switch the
date on because of the Today
show, the frontman revealed
recently on my show. I called
the family and everybody moved
the date, sent out a new e-mail,
and they were really sweet about
it.
The Fray will be making the
national media rounds over the
next two months, leading up to
the release of its third studio
album, Scars and Stories, due
out Feb. 7. Despite the success of
the LPs first single, Heartbeat,
Slade insisted that the release
date will not be pushed up.
The (music) industry is a
funny thing. You want to give the
single enough chance, and give it
some air, and then well go to a
second single when the album
comes out, Slade said. Its a
really sexy record for us, and
Valentines Day seems like the
good time to put out a sexy re-
cord. W
Listen to The Ralphie Radio
Show weeknights from 7
p.m.-midnight on 97 BHT.
Ralphie gets the scoop from Hot Chelle Rae.
WILKES-BARRE TWP.
When Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott
and Dave Haywood brought their
Own The Night tour to Mohegan
Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre Twp.
Friday night, one thing was clear:
This excursion is all about the fans.
Where other artists might shout
such a lofty proclamation fromthe
rooftops, Lady Antebelluminstead
prescribes to the old adage that
actions speak louder than words.
The stage setup was optimized
for viewing pleasure, with a long
runway stretching almost to the
middle of the standing-room-only
area and a cutout center filled with
fans. The band opened the set with
its current single We Owned the
Night and ended the song with a
spirited sing-along leading into the
equally jovial Stars Tonight.
Audience participation was a
trend set early in the evening and
was a recurring theme although
it was obvious concertgoers were
going to sing along to every word
with or without an invitation.
Our Kind of Love ended with
a jamsession, bringing Lady As
backing band to the forefront, and
led into a video montage about
relationships which served as the
perfect intro for the melancholic
Dancin Away With My Heart
and Wanted You More.
Aside fromthe devoted audi-
ence, the most notable aspect of
the night was the charming way the
trio traveled the stage together.
While Haywood would sometimes
hang back, focusing on the guitar,
mandolin or piano, this was espe-
cially true for Scott and Kelley,
whose chemistry is so potent, even
those near the rafters would have
been able to feel it.
After an electric performance of
the bands first single, Love Dont
Live Here, a piano rose up from
under the stage, leaving Haywood
standing on top of it and giving
Kelley the perfect opportunity to
flaunt his charismatic humor.
Looking up at his bandmate, he
declared, Ill catch you, like in
whats that movie? In Dirty Danc-
ing, baby.
The sweet When You Were
Mine had Scott front and center,
giving her a chance to momentarily
steal the showwith emotive vocals.
And if that song was all about
Scott, Hello World was Kelleys
show. His hearty vocals moved a
captive audience and his theatrical
personality, which is the perfect yin
to Scotts more reserved yang, was
mellowed out for the serious song.
For the summertime anthem
American Honey, Lady Aand its
band including an upright bass
moved to the end of the stage.
They then welcomed back openers
Edens Edge and Josh Kelley for a
precocious cover of the Doobie
Brothers Black Water.
Cold As Stone served as the
next power performance, chosen
by the audience during a viewers
choice texting poll posted on the
stages screen prior to the show.
Just AKiss played like listen-
ing to the radio, with flawless
vocals and instrumentations, while
the playful Perfect Day was the
ideal escalation to a streak of songs
that included I Run to You, dur-
ing which the screens displayed
photos of the band with fans, and
Friday Night.
Acover of Aerosmiths Sweet
Emotion proved the band could
also have a promising career in the
rock n roll world, and Lookin
For AGood Time ended the set.
The smash hit Need You Now
served as the encore, with Kelley
declaring near the end, Since its
your night, we want everyone to
have the last word. And with that,
the crowd finished out the evening.
Opening act Edens Edge literally
began the night on a high note,
performing a punchy four-song set.
Josh Kelley also offered a solid run
that included his current and up-
coming singles, Georgia Clay
and Naleigh Moon, TomPettys
American Girl and Snoop
Doggs Lodi Dodi. W

Old times
not forgotten
First Night Scranton
rocks through the ages
for this years theme
Horse-drawn carriage rides are only part of First Nights festivities.
First Night attendees take in the sights and sounds at The Mall at Steamtown.
B
ooze. Late-night
celebrations.
General
debauchery
that will leave
a person hurting in the
morning. These are usually
the fundamentals of a rockin
New Years Eve. But for those
with little ones in tow or wild
sides to keep in check, theres
another option for ringing in
2012: First Night Scranton.
The alcohol-free, family-
friendly event will take place
for the 13th year Saturday, Dec.
31 at 6 p.m. on Courthouse
Square, offering an alternative
to the traditional alcohol-soaked
ideal of the holiday.
There arent many options
for families and younger
people to do things on New
Years Eve, said Doug Smith,
entertainment chair of this
years event. You can either
go to a bar and theres alcohol
and all that stuff, or you just
stay home and then youre not
going out to do anything. So its
a great thing for families to do
and for teenagers to be able to
do on their own.
First Night is a trademarked
event held all over the country,
promoting arts, culture and
family activities. First Night
Scranton was established in
1998 by Scranton Tomorrow
and was turned over to the city
in 2008. Now, its a nonprot
run by volunteers that relies
on fundraising and corporate
sponsors.
After 10 years (Scranton
Tomorrow) felt it was time to
have someone else pick up the
event, said Paige Balitski, co-
chair. And so the city stepped
in, and the mayor put together
some folks and gave a two-
year commitment to give this
group the time to go and do
all the paperwork for a 501(c)
(3) status, and get on their own
feet. So this is the rst year that
we are totally on our own.
DOWNTOWN ON
DISPLAY
T
his years theme is
Rock In New Years
Eve, which is a
turnaround from last years
Victorian-inspired affair.
Last year we did something
very elegant, said Balitski.
It was all very heavy
costumes, very sophisticated
entertainment, that sort of thing.
This year, its been a tough
year on a lot of people. We just
wanted to party, so thats why
we picked rock n roll.
While some of the musical
entertainment will be rooted
in todays culture, the general
theme will focus on music
through the ages, especially the
50s, 60s and 70s.
We tried to t 90 percent
of the entertainment, as far
as the musical part of it, into
a timeline covering roughly
from probably the 1940s up
until now, said Smith. And
we tried to really have a high-
quality representation of each
decade or so.
One current group will be
Jung Bergo, a folk-rock band
based in Scranton that will
perform on the showmobile
outside near Courthouse Square
for the countdown to midnight.
This years fete will be the
second for the band.
We try to reect our
appreciation of Scranton, so
theres no better way than to
actually be involved in this
event itself, said vocalist and
guitarist Jeremy Burke.
The evenings entertainment
is slated to include a wide
variety of other artistic
ventures, including magicians,
poets and even a fortuneteller.
Admission buttons are $10 ($5
for seniors the day of and free
for children under ve) and
include everything, even horse-
drawn carriage rides, with the
exception of food.

First Night, now in its 13th year, will again include
freworks to ring in the NewYear.
we do as much as we can for
kids, Smith said. So we
have a lot of face painters and
balloon guys and caricature
artists, and were doing a lot of
childrens stuff at the mall this
year.
Generally, venues donate
space for First Night Scranton,
allowing the events volunteers
to use their hard-earned budget
for other resources. The Mall
at Steamtown, AFAGallery,
Elm Park Church and Vintage
Theater are among those
locales.
Its great exposure for us
to get a lot of different people
in and out, and we just like
to support whatevers going
on in Scranton, said Theresa
OConnor, co-director of
Vintage Theater, who noted
that this is the venues third
year participating. We feel like
all these types of things, like
First Night and First Friday, are
really great to help not only our
business but other businesses.
According to Balitski, who
has taken part in 11 of 13 First
Nights in Scranton, its usually
worth the effort to consider
taking part.
Many (businesses) have
been on board since the
beginning, they look forward to
it every year, but we actively go
and knock on doors, to all the
new businesses in downtown,
she said. We explain who
we are why we think its
important that they become
involved in this event. Alot
Its been a tough
year on a lot of
people. We just
wanted to party,
so thats why we
picked rock n roll.
First Night Scranton co-chair Paige Balitski
of the new businesses, it gives
them the opportunity to have
people discover them for the
rst time.
WEATHER OR NOT
A
s purveyors of the
behind-the-scenes
action, Balitski
and Smith rarely have the
opportunity to enjoy the fruits
of their labor. Smith, who is
a full-time musician and has
been involved in First Night
Scranton in one capacity or
another since its beginning,
typically performs at another
venue on New Years Eve.
What I do is work all year to
help put this together, and then
that day we go down and make
sure everythings all set, and
then I just cross my ngers, he
said, laughing.
Balitski is usually caught
up in a ood of preparations,
so any chance for her to take
in something simply for the
enjoyment of it is pretty
limited.
Last year was the very
rst year that I actually got
to go outside and go to a
couple of venues just to see
how people were doing and
general attitudes, and it was
wonderful, she said.
Both Balitski and Smith
acknowledged that, while
public attendance has grown
over the years, the biggest
barrier is still whats on the
barometer.
The only problem we have,
generally, is the weather,
Smith said. Most of the
venues are inside, and theyre
completely safe and everything,
heated, but still, if theres a
little snow, some people just
dont want to travel.
Whether or not weather will
be an issue this year, Balitski
remains optimistic.
I think First Night is the
type of event that once you go,
you become a fan, she said. W

By Jim Rising
Weekender Correspondent
S
o a federal agency has
called for a ban on all cell
phone use by drivers, ap-
parently even including those
creepy-looking attachments that
sprout out of peoples ears. The
government (your tax dollars at
work) says that it has done lots of
investigation into this. It has
concluded that we, as a nation,
are too stupid to talk on the
phone and drive. It didnt men-
tion anything about chewing gum
while driving, but that is certain-
ly under scrutiny. No doubt lis-
tening to the radio and talking to
passengers is being looked into
as well.
Fat chance the government will
have on this. First of all, the
surgeon general stated, unequiv-
ocally, in 1964, that smoking
causes cancer. Did that stop
anyone from sucking down the
weeds? So how far do you think
it will get on cell-phone use in
cars, which only incidentally kills
you, not directly?
The problem with getting this
done is the overall pervasiveness
and seduction of the damn
things. Its so easy to get a call,
take it, and suddenly your mind
is a million miles away from
behind the wheel of a three-ton
projectile going 70 MPH. I hate
seeing other drivers with a phone
up to their ear, and yet I find
myself doing it as well.
Possibly we are going about
this the wrong way. Maybe what
we need is cars that drive them-
selves. Hear me out. Google (!) is
working on this cars that drive
by themselves idea. Not sure on
the technology, but they have
tested it in California where the
first 25 questions on the state
drivers exam have to do with
filling out the accident report. It
seems to work. They have done
140,000 miles so far with one
accident, and that was when
someone rear-ended a test car
stopped at a red light.
Or how about this: Airplanes
rarely hit each other or get lost.
They have air traffic controllers
with radar. How about we design
a system that does the same thing
for cars, except it also has the
operators drive for you? Far-
fetched? We have Air Force
pilots in New Mexico flying
combat missions in Afghanistan.
Plus, we have a whole generation
who played a lot of video games.
You just tell the operator where
you want to go, sit back, and fix
yourself a margarita. This would
end unemployment, pay for itself
by eliminating accidents and
increase sales at the liquor store.
Wins all the way around.
Oh, we need Jetsons-style
flying cars, too. W
Reach Jim at
contact@jamesrising.com. Even
more rants are on his blog,
updated every day that ends in
y at jamesrising.com.
In addition to banning cell-phone use while driving, Jim
believes its high time we think about inventing flying
cars a la The Jetsons.

novel approach
I
t sounds like such an over-
done cliche to call any
book the coming-of-age
story of a young girl. It espe-
cially sounds banal in refer-
ence to Allison Baggios Girl
in Shades, as her heroine is
anything but commonplace.
Coming from a completely
warped family fraught with
lurid secrets, Maya Devine is
a girl who becomes a woman
before the readers eyes, and
her story is one of growing up
in an utterly ridiculous world.
At the start of the book,
11-year-old Mayas mother is
diagnosed with cancer and
refuses treatment, choosing to
spend her final days in a tee-
pee in the backyard. But thats
not where the peculiarities
end. Maya, who narrates, can
see auras surrounding people,
and she can usually hear their
thoughts. Whether this talent
is a curse or a gift, Baggio
never really intimates, but
Maya handles it as if its just
another predictable ability,
like being good at math, even
if she shares it with very few
people.
By the end of Girl in
Shades, teenage Maya has
transformed into something
else. She takes a life-altering
trip to India in search of her
identity and continues to en-
chant the reader with her
strength and endurance. Over
the course of her childhood,
there are questions left unan-
swered, both for Maya and the
reader, and irreversible in-
justices committed, but she
soldiers on.
Her one downfall is her
constant pursuit of acceptance,
especially from the males in
her life. There is no doubt
that a sense of abandonment
is the reason for those feel-
ings, but her final self-discov-
ery leaves the reader hopeful
that shell shed that debilitat-
ing need once and for all.
The vibe subtly changes
over the course of Girl in
Shades. Yes, characters come
and go, and the scenery shifts,
but the change is more than
that. Baggio manages to give
Maya a voice that starts out as
a young girl and develops into
a woman, and that is no small
feat, especially because it isnt
noticeable until after the last
page has been turned.
Baggios colorful writing
and quirky imagery give life
to the story as a whole, prop-
ping up even the direst of
circumstances. And the absur-
dity of Mayas situation lends
it a comical tinge. Its not
outwardly funny, but quietly
humorous, like the whole
thing is an inside joke be-
tween the reader and the au-
thor.
Even in her most unsettling,
pathetic moments, Maya never
inspires pity in the reader. She
tells her story in a blunt way,
and though shes often sad,
even morose, she doesnt
come across as someone for
whom the reader should feel
sorry. Instead, she rises from
the ashes of her former self
like the proud woman she
should be.

Grounded Gerhart
Hazleton native Brooke Gerhart will release his solo debut album Thursday, Dec. 22 at the River
Street Jazz Cafe (667 N. River St., Plains Twp.). Gerhart will perform with Joe Acor, Justin Rob-
bins, Luke Breeze, Katie Laiso and Brand Rice, and Jeanius and Kira Lee will open the show.
Gerhart, the former drummer of Between the Two and The Movement, recorded the self-titled
album in Minneapolis with producer Jordan Schmidt (Motion City Soundtrack, All Time Low). In
early January, Gerhart will move to Nashville, where he worked with Schmidt again at Dark Horse
Studios when the producer was working with Jamestown Story.
Being in the Nashville area brought so much inspiration, Gerhart said. The whole city is in-
volved with music in one way, shape or form. After only one week, I met so many awesome people
and really opened up a lot of opportunity. Shortly after recording, we found a house and studio
available, and we decided to jump on it.
Another inspiration for Gerhart has been his faith.
My relationship with God has really helped keep me focused and grounded in an industry that
has more distractions and temptations than most, he stated. Dont get me wrong, Ive made my
mistakes, but my faith has really inspired personal life change, given me hope and a purpose with
music.
Thursdays show starts at 9 p.m., and there is a $5 cover. For more info, visit brookegerhart.com,
tpmmusic.com or call 570.822.2992.

Adding several drum and
bass, electro-house and dubstep
producers to any album could
be a disaster. But on Korns
10th album, The Path of Total-
ity, the gamble paid off with a
No. 10 debut on the Billboard
200.
While there are an abundance
of bells and whistles from the
producers, theres an intimacy to
Jonathan Davis vocals, thanks
in part to him recording in his
home, closets and hotels. Most
of the album is futuristic and
atmospheric, with some new
sound constantly coming at you,
especially if listening on head-
phones.
The first of three tracks fea-
turing Skrillex, Chaos Lives In
Everything, is a perfect exam-
ple of that, with its fast cym-
bals, electronica and far-away
vocals. The second, Narcissis-
tic Cannibal (also featuring
Kill The Noise), is vast with a
great beat and lots of clatter,
while Get Up! is a standout
that blasts into an electronic
wonderland with sinister guitar,
bass and drums. Shut the f--k
up/ get up! Davis urges over
droid-like nuances.
Noisia guests on three tracks:
Kill Mercy Within, which has
a dirty, fuzzy feel with a dash
of woeful piano; Burn The
Obedient picks up the pace
following the off-putting and
sluggish Illuminati, while
Lets Go is trippy.
The 12th Planet track, Way
Too Far, is spacey, and theres
so much going on that just
when you settle in, it changes
to chanted growls or a catchy
chorus. I put my walls up each
day/ you tear it down, Davis
declares atop deep, creepy back-
ing vocals singing the same
lyric on the Excision track, My
Wall.
The Feed Me closer, Bleed-
ing Out, starts with lush piano
before electronics kick in, and
theres a mix of heavy guitars,
rave-y sounds and even bag-
pipes.
At times, The Path to Total-
ity seems leaden, and not just
in sound, as if youre wading
through sludge as you listen.
There are rare bursts of the
in-your-face Korn we expect,
and thats the best part.

Top 10 Albums at Gallery of Sound
Nearly 20 years after his debut
album, Common has a burgeoning
screen career (most recently as a
hip-hop penguin in Happy Feet 2,
and also a role in the AMC series
Hell On Wheels) and a new auto-
biography, One Day It Will All
Make Sense. And now, a new al-
bum, The Dreamer, the Believer,
his ninth and his first in three
years.
Its a back-to-basics move that
finds Common juggling roles hes
played throughout his hip-hop ca-
reer.
Produced exclusively by No I.D.,
who worked on 1994s Resurrec-
tion, the album opens with The
Dreamer, an autobiographical state-
ment from the hip-hop romantic
that features Maya Angelou reading
a new poem. That socially con-
scious moment segues into the in-
sistent first single, Ghetto
Dreams, a Parliament-sampling,
tough-talking, hard-edge street-life
story with a Nas cameo.
The album bounces through ELO
and Curtis Mayfield samples and a
John Legend guest appearance,
through joyful party tracks (Cele-
brate) and edgier rhymes, as on
Raw (How You Like It).
Its not Commons most consistent
or focused album, but its the best
representation of his wide-ranging
talent.

On Nov. 12, 2010, a select group of
musicians gathered at the Beacon Theatre
in New York City to celebrate and honor
the legendary John Lennon, and from that
evening was born The 30th Annual John
Lennon Tribute, which was released last
month. The 15-track album features the
likes of Joan Osborne, Martin Sexton and
Jackson Browne performing covers of
Lennons solo work along with some of
his Beatles hits.
Highlights of the record include Mesh-
ell Ndegeocellos bone-chilling rendition
of God, Osbornes commanding Hey
Bulldog and Sextons magnetic Work-
ing Class Hero. The Beatles classic In
My Life is sweetly pronounced on the
lips of Keb Mo, and is a complement to
the bands tough Come Together,
brought to life by Taj Mahal with Deva
Mahal and Steph Brown.
The best executions on the album are
those that dont take any liberties with the
arrangement, instead allowing Lennons
iconic music speak for itself in a respect-
ful tribute. Thats not to say the other
songs, like Alejandro Escovedos gloomy
version of The Beatles Help, are any
less reverential, they just seem to be
slightly out of place when compared with
something like Rich Paganos Power to
the People or Shelby Lynnes Mother.
And Your Bird Can Sing is the only
instance where an entirely different ar-
rangement would have been beneficial, as
its a less-than-thrilling cover by The
Kennedys thanks to vocals that dont
come close to the original.
The 30th Annual John Lennon Trib-
ute captures the melancholic, yet peace-
ful feeling the evening must have inspired
in those who attended the show, and its a
lovely compilation that leaves an ache in
the heart of the devoted Lennon fan.

irst, NEPA-bred band
Kite Party made the
move to Philadelphia,
and now, the quintet recently
signed with Los Angeles-based
label, Animal Style Records.
Joining Animal Style came
about after the band Rus-
sell Edling, Justin Fox, Andre
Pagani, Tim Jordan and Pat
Conaboy had a meeting
with the labels owner, Matt
Medina, at Octobers Fest 10 in
Gainesville, Fla.
We all kind of stood there
in a circle and asked him
questions, Edling told the
Weekender via e-mail. I think
we were all very excited and
nervous about the whole thing,
but it was a great way to sort
of break the ice.
One of the main topics of
conversation with Medina was
about the bands upcoming
album, Baseball Season,
which will be released Tues-
day, Feb. 14.
We liked everything he said
about what he wanted to do
with the album, Edling said.
He just seemed immediately
genuine and engaged in what
we wanted to do, and we all
left the meeting feeling really
positive.
Though self-released this
past summer for Kite Partys
August tour with Tigers Jaw,
Baseball Season will be
released digitally and on 12-
inch vinyl. The nine-song al-
bum is a follow up to the
2009 EP, Wish Mountain,
and its safe to say that the
recording process is the biggest
difference between the two.
When we recorded Wish
Mountain, it was simply just
that we had four songs, and
we recorded them, Edling
said. I mixed them in my
college dorm with a pair of
headphones definitely not
the way to go, and we just
kind of threw it out there.
Maybe thats a little self-
deprecating, but for the most
part, thats how it happened.
Baseball Season, though,
was recorded at The Headroom
in Philadelphia with Kyle Pul-
ley, who Edling said became
a sixth member of the band.
He really helped push us.
At the start of recording,
Kite Party had 10 songs it
planned to make the album
with.
We ended up scrapping
four of them, writing three
new ones, and then wrapping
the album up with only nine
songs, Edling explained. It
was with the help of Kyles
creative approach and the way
he kind of saw things through
our angle that made the album
the way it is. We were all just
really invested in this one,
whereas Wish Mountain
seemed to us to be more of a
documentation process in a
way, but as they say, hindsight
is 20/20.
Currently, Kite Party doesnt
have any upcoming shows in
Northeastern Pennsylvania, but
that could change once Base-
ball Season comes out.
We would love to do a
local record-release show
Im sure well work something
like that out, Edling said.
We had a great show at Em-
bassy Vinyl when Wish
Mountain came out, maybe
well carry on the tradition. W

movie review
B
lockbusters now involve
so much high-priced spec-
tacle and visual bombard-
ment that actors have become
secondary. Michael Bay replaced
Transformers star Megan Fox,
a lads mag staple for years, with
another hot tot (blonde, this
time!) in the latest installment.
Nobody cared except Fox, who
saw her career prospects plum-
met as the robots in disguise
steamrolled toward a $50 million
box-office payday.
Robots, thankfully, dont star
in Sherlock Holmes: A Game
of Shadows, the rousing sequel
to 2009s introduction. Robert
Downey Jr. and Jude Law do,
which is nothing short of a
blessing. The irreplaceable ac-
tors have settled into a smooth,
bickering groove. The fun comes
from their tenuous rapport.
Downey Jr. portrays Holmes, the
genius detective, as a needy,
unraveling egomaniac. He cant
imagine life without Dr. John
Watson (Law), or figure out why
his partner is so reluctant to
walk away from adventure. Wat-
son, straitlaced and forever los-
ing his patience, craves some
bloody peace. Or so he says.
Specifically, Watson just
wants to enjoy his honeymoon
with new wife Mary (Kelly
Reilly), but Holmes makes such
a respite impossible. The detec-
tive believes that a series of
mysterious deaths including
his alluring, savvy foil, Irene
Adler (Rachel McAdams) are
linked to Professor James Mo-
riarty (Jared Harris), a diabolical
genius whose respect amidst
Europes power brokers makes
him especially crafty. Holmes
confronts Moriarty, which ends
with Moriarty promising in the
most eloquent way possible to
destroy Holmes and an un-
aware Watson.
The latest adventure takes
Holmes and Watson to Paris,
Switzerland and Germany. Each
country reveals another level of
Moriartys staggering evil, which
culminates in a plan that threat-
ens to push Europe toward war.
Lending the heroes a hand are
Holmes know-it-all brother (a
delightfully pompous Stephen
Fry) and a knife-wielding Gypsy
(Swedish beauty Noomi Rapace)
whose missing brother plays a
pivotal role in Moriartys
scheme.
Returning director Guy Ritch-
ie (Snatch) doesnt tinker with
what worked the first time. The
man, who never met a scene he
didnt want to inject full of
adrenaline, chooses his spots.
The slow-motion shots and
quick cuts complement the per-
formances and plot, points of
emphasis that seem quaint in
todays multiplex. Downey Jr.
still plays Holmes like a mix of
Dean Martin and Oscar Wilde,
and his swagger carries the film,
even when the plots cleverness
threatens to overtake everything.
And the movie refuses to turn
Watson into an audience for
Holmess revelations. Hes smart
enough to contribute, even if
Holmes will have an answer for
everything. For example, Watson
screams at Holmes for pushing
an at-risk Mary from a moving
train. Holmes unapologetic, but
correct response: I timed it
perfectly!
A Game of Shadows is
entertaining, a word that like
cute or interesting can be
issued as an insult. There are no
ironic connotations here. The
performances are uniformly
excellent, with veteran Harris a
fine addition. The dialogue is
sharp. Our attention is kept
without Ritchie shamelessly
emptying the FX toolbox or
resorting to gimmicks. The
elements that keep us amused
cant be added in post-produc-
tion, which bodes well for fu-
ture, Decepticon-free install-
ments.
Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr. join forces again as Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes
in Game of Shadows.

tech talk
By Nick Delorenzo
A
s the first phone to run Ice
CreamSandwich, the
latest version of Googles
Android operating system, the
Samsung Galaxy Nexus is one of
the most anticipated phones of the
year.
One thing Ive always liked
about Samsung is howit manages
to make its devices light without
seeming flimsy, and the Nexus is
no exception. Despite being a
light phone, it feels sturdy and
well-balanced.
As with all 4Gphones, the
Nexus requires a SIMchip to
operate. Some users might find
the lack of an SDcard reader
annoying, but most people will
find the 32 GBof onboard storage
adequate.
The Nexus features a 5 mega-
pixel rear-facing camera and a 1.3
megapixel front-facing camera.
While the specs seembelowpar,
the pictures the camera shoots are
remarkably crisp and, more
importantly, there is no lag be-
tween tapping the button and
snapping the picture.
Theres also a very intuitive
Panorama Mode that provides
dynamic feedback to help users
capture a flawless 360-degree
photo.
The 4.65-inch display offers
true high-definition resolution at
1280 x 720 @316 ppi, and has an
extremely wide viewing angle. It
also is incredibly crisp.
The Galaxy Nexus is powered
by a dual-core 1.2 Ghz processor.
The operating systemis a de-
parture fromprevious versions of
the Android OS. It brings in some
of the concepts pioneered by the
tablet-based versions of the plat-
form.
The Samsung Nexus does not
sport the Samsung TouchWiz
interface, but what I found to be a
vanilla selection of widgets, all
of which can be easily supple-
mented at the app store.
Also, the Nexus offers near-
field communication capabilities
in the formof Android Beamthat
allowtwo equipped devices to
send information back and forth
very quickly with less complica-
tion than Bluetooth. Theres facial
recognition technology for cam-
era focus and security; it was
possible to fool the screen lock
with a picture.
If youre tech savvy, the Nexus
is pretty cool. If youre just in the
market for a competent high-end
smartphone, there are more pow-
erful devices available, but none
currently packs the gadgetry of
the Nexus.
With a two-year contract, the
Nexus costs $299.99.
Without, it will set you back
$649.99. W

Samsung screams
for Ice Cream

consumers.

By Rachel A. Pugh
Weekender General Manager
Fashion beyond the runway
I
ts trendy to be
environmentally friendly.
Well, lets hope this
isnt a fad that fades.
Whether its practicing
sustainability tactics, reducing
the amount of plastic water
bottles or eating more organic
foods, going green seems to be
all the craze. And the fashion
industry has picked up on this.
With new designers creating
lines made of entirely eco-
friendly fabrics and others
actually donating a percentage
back to environmental causes,
the industry is no stranger
to getting behind a message.
Health enthusiasts have been
designing T-shirts with health-
conscious messages for years
and even the early introduction
of hemp accessories was a
symbolic natural gesture.
But lets not be mistaken.
Going green in fashion does
not mean less green from your
wallet. High end knows no
maximum, and this goes for tree
huggers as well. You will pay
more to be organic, be it at the
grocery store or boutique. But
how can you put a price on good
health or saving Mother Earth?
Thats for you to decide.
If barefoot and hemp isnt
your style, do not worry. You
can dress to the nines and still be
conscious of how your wardrobe
impacts the environment. There
are plenty of stylish lines that
use 100 percent cotton or other
natural mediums. Here are four
top designers to watch if youre
thinking about making the
switch to responsible fashion.
John Bartlett
This designer set up the Tiny
Tim Rescue Fund, a nonprot
which distributes money to
dog rescue groups that save
dogs from kill shelters. His
sweatshirts, T-shirts and pajamas
all sport a Tiny Tim image
and are made of all-natural
products including 100 percent
cotton and eco-eece, which
is an organic cotton/recycled
poly/rayon blend. With every
purchase, 10 percent goes to the
Tiny Tim Rescue Fund, or you
can simply make a at donation.
johnbartlettny.com
Camilla Wellton
The line consists of custom
tailoring, so each style is
designed specically for the
customer. Wellton uses only
100 percent cotton for each item
made. She also carries a jersey
line, most of it which is organic
and made of materials such as
bamboo, beech trees and hemp-
silk. camillawellton.com
Lara Miller
Adesigner out of Chicago,
Millers entire philosophy
embraces a green lifestyle in
the materials she chooses and
her own personal workspace.
She also manufactures locally
to support Chicagos sewn-
products industry. Reusing old
patterns made of O tag paper
that would otherwise be thrown
away by other local companies
and scrap material from
formerly produced products,
Miller also chooses fabrics
with low-impact reactive dyes.
Due to the controversy over
how natural soy and bamboo
actually are, Miller sees to it
that her soy and bamboo are
made by a hydrogen peroxide
manufacturing process rather
than a chemical manufacturing
process. Other natural products
used in her lines are SKAL
certied organic cotton, hemp,
vegan ahimsa peace silk,
organic wool, linen, lyocell, ax
and soy bers, hand-loomed
bamboo and recycled organic
cotton. Laramiller.net
Stewart and Brown
Karen Stewart and Howard
Brown launched their
environmentally conscious
company in Los Angles in
2002. Donating a percentage of
all sales to non-governmental
environmental and social-
welfare nonprots, Stewart and
Brown designs all represent
sustainable living. Using organic
cotton, Mongolian cashmere,
Merino wool, yak down, Tencel
gauze, hemp silk charmeuse,
hemp jersey and linen, Stewart
and Brown also use recycled
garment fabrics from factory
surplus. Each product purchased
also provides garment care
instructions to ensure durability.
Seen in magazines such as
G Living, Eco Focus, Marie
Claire, Womens Health, Vogue
and others, these designers are
making a splash by practicing
ethical business standards.
Stewartbrown.com. W
Designer John Bartlett set
up the Tiny Tim Rescue Fund,
which donates to dog rescue
groups and its clothing
sports the image of his dog.
Camilla Wellton custom tailors
her eco-friendly line.
The designs of Karen Stewart and Howard Brown have been
featured in G Living, Eco Focus, Marie Claire and Vogue, among
other magazines.
Chicago designer Lara Millers clothes are the epitome of going
green with fashion.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
Sometimes whats right changes,
based on context and evolving circum-
stances. But often its just as right now as
it was then only now you have the
power, courage and tools to actually do
something about it. And so you should.
Not repeating the mistakes you made (or
would have made) back then is important,
so this time, approach the situation with
all your wisdom and experience inform-
ing the choices you make and actions you
take. If you enter the situation with all
your hard-won patience, humor and
grace, I think youll be pleased by how
well it goes certainly a hell of a lot
better than it would have played out even
a few years ago.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
If you hang out with someone long
enough, youre bound to get bored by or
annoyed at something, eventually. Of
course, experience should tell you that
although the grass on the other side of the
fence sure looks greener, it wont seem so
green close up, so ditching what youve
got over here to hop the fence and check
it out will only be trading in one set of
annoyances for another. Over here may
not be as good as it gets, but its surely
as good as its likely to get, so learning
to truly appreciate that is definitely in
your best interest. If you really cant,
move on. Youll appreciate it once youve
been away awhile of course, by then
itll be too late.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
Going above and beyond the call of
duty for the sake of the peace (or some-
ones ego) is all well and good, but you
should only go so far past that line. An
extra hour out of your day isnt a big deal
in the grand scheme of things, if thats
what it takes, but at some point, you need
to draw a line and stick to it, lest you
venture into truly crazy or ridiculous
territory. Of course you want to be gener-
ous and accommodating, but silly, desper-
ate or insane are much less flattering
labels avoid them.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
People do cruel things to avoid con-
frontation. Voicemail breakups, phone
text confessions, bathroom-window date
escapes all seem easier than actually
just saying what must be said, face to
face. That kind of cowardice isnt in your
nature, though one of the reasons
people love and trust you. Dont take the
easy way out of this situation, either, even
if following the more ethical and con-
scientious path is more stressful and up-
setting. Its still the right thing to do
and you wouldnt be the amazing person
you are if you didnt at least try to do it.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
Most mothers wean their children off
breast milk at a reasonably early age, but
the kids dont seem to mind, as their
palate has suddenly expanded to include
tons of other interesting flavors. Although
its more difficult to wean yourself from
the thing youve become accustomed to
mostly because you dont have a
mother more or less giving you no choice
you still should, because like that
childs, your world will suddenly grow
much bigger, more varied and interesting
once you do. Itll be hard, without outside
intervention, to gradually diminish your
habits so for you Im afraid the best
bet is stubbornly going cold turkey. Start
now.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
For someone with such a clever tongue,
tact is not always your forte. While your
Libra cousins will take such great pains
to not offend that theyll sometimes al-
most say nothing at all, you occasionally
blurt out truths that just piss people off. I
would hate it if you bit your tongue
this stuff has to be said, after all. But
employing a little diplomacy would defi-
nitely be in your best interest. Dont even
contemplate censoring yourself. But abso-
lutely consider editing yourself, so that
what you have to say gets said in the best
(kindest and most effective) way.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
Deceitful people may deserve to be
deceived in turn, but that doesnt mean
you should become the deceiver. Youre
better than that, or should be. Absolutely
abstain from giving them any more of
your time and energy, of course, but other
than that, just be content with simply
forgetting whats happened and moving
on in a positive way. Let them get their
well-deserved comeuppances elsewhere.
Karmas a bitch; itll bite them eventually.
Trust in that while you hold yourself in
check; better yet, just distract yourself so
thoroughly that you dont have a thought
to spare for that lousy chapter.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
You like to get your way. Of course,
growing up we learn that we cant always
have our own way, and youve had your
share of those lessons. They havent al-
ways stuck, though, and every once in a
while you stubbornly insist on making
things go your way. Your loving friends
often humor you so you dont even neces-
sarily notice how much others accommo-
date you. If people dig in their heels this
week, though, consider backing off for
once and doing things someone else
wants (without being pouty or resentful),
expressing the easy good-humored grace
youve often enjoyed from others.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
If you discover a secret without being
particularly nosy, you have to consider the
possibility that someone wanted it to be
exposed. Obviously, if you crossed gener-
ally established lines of privacy to gain
access to this knowledge, youre probably
at fault, but otherwise this information is
yours to do with as you will. That in-
cludes acting on it, keeping the secret or
using it to further your own agenda. How-
ever, when trying to decide what to do
with this newfound information, try to
consider the path that will, ultimately, do
the most good. If you can walk that, itd
be a very kind gift indeed and the
holidays are upon us.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Holidays are a time when people fre-
quently disrespect or simply ignore oth-
ers boundaries (often with the best of
intentions). For you Libras, who loathe
loaded confrontations, this can be a very
trying time, because sometimes it seems
like the only way to put these people back
in their place is by blowing up at them.
There are other ways, however, and this
week you must strive to find them, for the
sake of general harmony and your own
peace of mind. Aim for a laugh from the
guilty party if you cant achieve that,
go for minimum potential humiliation.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Misleading by omission is a classic
sneaky strategy people frequently employ
when they want to get you to do some-
thing youd surely refuse if you knew all
the details. Luckily, your tingly Scorpio
Senses should be quite attuned to this
kind of thing right now, so dont ignore
them when they go off. Theres no need
to be overly suspicious or guarded; theres
a way to discover more without putting
up walls or pointing fingers. Just sweetly
ask questions to get to the bottom of
things and figure out what the deal really
is before you agree to anything.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Being so good-natured, youre often
completely willing to ignore (and prob-
ably privately have a chuckle over) others
faux pas or social shortcomings, and
simply enjoy their other, better qualities.
Some of your more nitpicky friends or
family, though, might have a harder time
wrapping their heads around this stuff. Be
the diplomat this week. You may not be
as ideally suited for it as those savvy
Libras or friendly Aquarians, but you
certainly have the tools you need hu-
mor, fairness and a discerning mind. That
may not be true of anyone else present, so
its up to you use the tools youve got
to make things okay. W

Janelle Marshallick and Matt Hiscox of Dallas with
Richard Simmons Jan. 9, 2010 at Mount Airy Lodge
in Mount Pocono.
Tips
By Janelle Engle
from a
barbie chick
T
echnicolored tights, hair
bows and sky-high heels
may seemlike they do not
have anything in common, but to
Philadelphia designer Mah-Jing
Wong, they were all vital details to
his dollhouse-inspired photo
shoot that I had the opportunity to
be a part of.
His designs are not for the
wallflowers of the world, and you
have to have the right look-at-me
attitude to want to rock them. But
even if you are a little too camera
shy to wear some of his sassy,
edgy pieces, you can still appre-
ciate themfor their creativity.
Mah-Jing himself describes his
designs as head-turner pieces,
and he prides himself on all of his
designs being unique. In fact right
now, Mah-Jing only takes custom
orders to make sure the design he
makes is one-of-a-kind and per-
fect for every customer. His atten-
tion to detail and ability to execute
fashion trends in exciting new
ways makes hima talented, cre-
ative designer to look out for.
WEEKENDER: Three words
to describe your designs?
WONG: Epic, loud and strong.
WEEKENDER: The main
inspirationfor this photo shoot
andthe clothing?
WONG: I have a huge love for
Japanese street/anime, and that is
what drives the Mah-Jing Wong
wheel, but I like to make every-
thing wearable, so I add that New
York City twist to everything I
design.
WEEKENDER: What made
youchoose the dollhouse theme
for this shoot?
WONG: I love the idea of dress
up. With that being said, I wanted
the ladies to kind of pose like
paper dolls to add that full doll
and mannequin-like appeal.
WEEKENDER: Who is your
ideal customer?
WONG: The Mah-Jing Wong
customer is the girl who is very
comfortable in her skin and loves
everybody. The line is worn to
events as the head-turner piece.
WEEKENDER: What were
some of your favorite trends of
2011?
WONG: The color-block
movement is a big love of mine
and also colored stockings.
60-70s-inspired shoes, Jeffrey
Campbell and maxi dresses Ima
huge fan of as well.
WEEKENDER: What can
we expect fromyouin2012?
WONG: Well, I cant say just
yet, but I have a lot of treats com-
ing. Trust me, I will not disap-
point! W

sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
Who do you have for the

Secret Santa? asked Cindy.
Im not telling! I re-
plied, smirking.
The fact of the matter was that
I actually had Cindy in the Secret
Santa gift exchange where we
bartend together. Our Christmas
party for the employees was
quickly approaching, and I was
trying to figure out what I should
get her. Since this would be my
first year at the holiday affair, I
didnt know what people usually
exchanged. Did they give each
other dirty, raunchy, sexually
stimulating gag gifts? Or did they
keep it classy and present their
colleagues with gift cards to
Applebees?
When I tried getting more
information out of one of the
other bartenders, the only thing
they really confirmed to me
about the Secret Santa was that
you had to tell a story behind the
gift you bought. Since Im not
really known for telling appropri-
ate stories, I decided against the
Applebees gift card, instead
opting to go with something
dirty, raunchy and sexually stim-
ulating.
For some reason, I struggled to
find something erotic that had a
sentimental story behind it. Dont
you hate when that happens?
However, with big thanks owed
to the edible section at a porn
store where truck drivers mastur-
bate in the viewing booths, I
found the perfect gift!
After two hours of drinking
like a Lohan with my coworkers
the night that the Christmas party
finally arrived, it was time to
hand out gifts.
As everyone knows, I am the
newest employee here, I ex-
plained. I have to admit, every-
one was very welcoming when I
first started. But you, Cindy,
were really the most welcoming
person to me here. I think youre
so nice, so fun and so awesome.
There really should be more
people like you in this world. So,
my gift to you this Christmas is
something that will help make
sure there is more of you in the
world!
She opened the box to find a
product that makes a chocolate
mold of her Notorious V.A.G.!
Everyone applauded, but her
boyfriend ran right up to me to
shake my hand, as he is a fan of
both chocolate and her Tooter
Bug.
To refrain from being com-
pletely inappropriate, I also gave
her lip gloss.
This Christmas I learned that
chocolate makes everything a
little more sentimental. Merry
Christmas to all, and to all a
good night! W
Justins Secret Santa gift gave new meaning to the
term chocoholic.

just for the
health of it
By Tim Hlivia
T
ake a good, long look
in the mirror. The re-
flection resembles you,
but may be slightly different.
Perhaps staring back is a
heavier version of you, a
weaker version of you or an
older version of you? Per-
haps you are nearly thrilled
with what you see, but there
are just one or two small
things you would ultimately
like to change about your-
self. Regardless of the pro-
gress you want to make with
your physical appearance,
setting any goal, big or
small, can be overwhelming.
Where to begin?
Dont panic. I am here to
help. My name is Tim Hli-
via. This is my debut co-
lumn in the Weekender (this
is actually my first column,
period). I can, and will, help
you change your body and
the way you think about
fitness and nutrition.
While success means many
different things to different
people, believing you can
reach your ultimate goals,
and believing in yourself is
key. As a personal trainer, I
have helped hundreds of
clients realize their fitness
goals and meet their success
through hard work, dedi-
cation and perseverance.
Over the past 15 years, I
have worked in many gym
settings, but one constant
always remains: Clients seek
results. In 2010, I opened
Leverage Fitness Studio,
located in Forty Fort, and
realized firsthand what it
feels like to conquer a
dream. By reaching my
goals (through education and
by opening Leverage), I have
helped countless clients re-
ach their goals for some,
one pound and one day at a
time.
But, this column is not
about me. Its about you! I
intend to bring positive re-
sults to you, through fitness
and nutritional support. To-
gether, we will realize
dreams and reach goals.
In 2012, realize your self
worth and invest in yourself.
Heres to a Happy New
Year and a happy new you!

Tim owns Leverage
Performance Training Studio
(900 Rutter Ave., Forty
Fort). Find out more at

yourself
Tim will write Just for the
Health of It every other
week. This is his
inaugural column.
I can, and will, help you change your
body and the way you think about
fitness and nutrition.

Ride of
the Week
By Michael Golubiewski
This car was a Christmas present the
year I turned 16, Hanson says. Ive kept
it since. It was my daily driver through
high school and college, then when I got
a job, I decided to restore it and keep it.
So far Hanson has had the exterior
repainted, got new factory hubcaps and
had the interior restored with the seats
from a similarly colored Dodge Aries.
I was a little embarrassed by the
interior, so I worked on that rst, he
says.
Hanson hopes to one day be able to
pass the car down to his own children
probably as a Christmas gift again. W
