hand, made out of paper and
tape, which he then took pictures
of and manipulated to make the
graphic we used on the cover.
Needless to say, in the
ve years since, weve fondly
recalled and laughed over
that cover, which you would
never know was a Steve Husted
design, especially seeing his
great designs week after week.
Ive included a picture
of said cover (with Steves
permission, of course), which
we once again chuckled over,
remembering the rst of many
Steve-and-Nikki bonding
moments.
Whatever your favorite
moment about the Fourth, I
wish you a safe and happy one.
Thanks for reading!

There are many reasons to
love the Fourth of July. Our
independence, of course, is
pretty tops.
For me, though, there are a
few other things I love about the
Fourth: Hitting up a backyard
barbecue, seeing all the ags
people display snapping in the
breeze and that sulfur-y rework
smell wafting through the air are
pretty up there, too.
But my No. 1 favorite
thing about the Fourth of July
are the memories I have with our
Creative Director Steve Husted
regarding his rst Weekender
cover design, way back on June
28, 2006.
It was a huge issue,
we had interviews with Dave
Matthews Band, Sammy
Hagar, Def Leppard (which,
coincidentally, you can also
nd on p. 33 this week) and
The Beach Boys, who were
headlining Wilkes-Barres
bicentennial celebration in Kirby
Park that year.
Naturally, since it was
a Fourth of July-themed cover
story, Steve and I went on the
hunt for reworks to inspire the
design of the cover. Following
an in-ofce all-out war of Pop
Pop Snappers that we had to
get out of our systems rst,
Steve painstakingly studied
the reworks and then began
designing his own reworks by
joelmchale
Online comment

I saw a woman with a huge
chest tattoo that read Only
God Can Judge Me. Cool,
but Ive already gone ahead &
done some prelim work.

Duh, reworks! Its a day off from work!
Watching people waste hun-
dreds of dollars on annoying
reworks.
Going to the reworks with fam-
ily and friends. Totally generic,
but it never gets old.
Baking dorkily festive cookies
and cupcakes.
Fireworks. More specically the
very loud ones with the quick,
bright ash.
Properly noting the day that
Thomas Jefferson told the king to
get lost.

MOTIONLESS IN WHITE

The Gamer
By Dale Culp
Weekender Correspondent
O
n Monday, June 27, after
more than five years, the
U.S. Supreme Court ruled
to strike down a law signed by
then California Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger. In a decision
split 7-2, the court decided that a
law restricting the sale of violent
video games to minors was un-
constitutional.
It was a landmark case, decid-
ing that video games are protect-
ed under the First Amendment
and that the government has no
place in regulating their sale or
distribution.
The decision of the court came
down to the fact that California
failed to prove why video games
should be given certain restric-
tions when the state currently
does not restrict the sale of vio-
lent content in other mediums
such as books, movies or music.
The state also failed to prove
what makes the interactive nature
of video games different from
other mediums. Unable to per-
suade the court with evidence of
video games psychological
impact or any basis to consider
video games a special case when
it comes to violent content, the
court was forced to rule against
the state.
The opinion of the court, writ-
ten by Justice Antonin Scalia,
reads, Video games qualify for
First Amendment protection.
Like protected books, plays, and
movies, they communicate ideas
through familiar literary devices
and features distinctive to the
medium. And the basic princi-
ples of freedom of speech . . . do
not vary with a new and differ-
ent communication medium.
The opinion is littered with
choice quotes, references and
multiple examples that video
games require no exception, that
the industrys self-regulation
through the Entertainment Soft-
ware Rating Board is adequate. It
even mentions Choose-Your-
Own-Adventure books when
speaking to the interactive nature
of video games, pointing out that
video games are not entirely
unique in this regard.
The opinion of the court places
the burden of responsibility
squarely on the shoulders of
parents, even mentioning that not
all parents disapprove of their
children consuming violent
media while pointing out the
vague, hypocritical nature of the
law.
Banning violent games would
have necessitated bans else-
where, the opinion read. Cali-
fornias argument would fare
better if there were a longstand-
ing tradition in this country of
specially restricting childrens
access to depictions of violence,
but there is none. Certainly the
books we give children to read
or read to them when they are
younger contain no shortage
of gore.
As you can see, the real danger
of the court upholding this law
was the slippery slope it present-
ed, bringing other forms of media
into close scrutiny and asking
why they are not also included.
The law had a definite chilling
effect.
According to the opinion, the
law covered games in which the
range of options available to a
player includes killing, maiming,
dismembering, or sexually as-
saulting an image of a human
being, if those acts are depicted
in a manner that (a) reasonable
person, considering the game as
a whole, would find appeals to a
deviant or morbid interest of
minors, that is patently offen-
sive to prevailing standards in the
community as to what is suitable
for minors and that causes the
game, as a whole, to lack serious
literary, artistic, political, or
scientific value for minors.
Reading that description, sev-
eral games come to mind, but it
leaves a vague enough impres-
sion that youre left wondering,
where exactly do you draw the
line?
Personally speaking, I dont
believe children should have
access to material designed for
adults, violent or otherwise.
However, I also dont believe its
the governments place to in-
tervene. I believe the court made
the right decision. To put it an-
other way, this was a triumph. W

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd

WHERES THE BEEF?
Somehow, upscale restaura-
teurs believe that diners will
soon willingly pay more for a
beef dish if it comes with dis-
closure of the DNA of the actual
cow being eaten, according to a
May Associated Press report.
People want to know where
their food is coming from, said
one excited chef, lauding the
knowledge to be gleaned from a
calfs upbringing. (A more prac-
tical beef-supply executive added
that DNA can help identify the
multiple animals whose parts
were used in hunks of ground
beef a 10-pound package of
which may include contributions
from hundreds of different
cows.)
CANT POSSIBLY BE TRUE
-- It was not difficult to find
critics when the Orlando-area
government job-service engine
Workforce Central Florida said it
was spending more than $70,000
of federal stimulus money to
help the laid-off by handing out
6,000 satiny capes for jobless
superheroes to fight Dr.
Evil Unemployment. (Abso-
lutely absurd was the reaction
of a laid-off customer-service
representative.) Several critics
interviewed by the Orlando Sen-
tinel noted that such an awkward
program further erodes the un-
employeds fragile self-respect.
WCF, though, remained con-
vinced. In the words of a spo-
keswoman, Everyone is a super-
hero in the fight against unem-
ployment.
-- Urban Legend Come to
Life: Too-good-to-be-true stories
have circulated for years about
men who accidentally fell, post-
erior first, onto compressed-air
nozzles and self-inflated to re-
semble dough boys, usually
with fatal results. However, in
May in Opotiki, New Zealand,
trucker Steven McCormack
found himself in similar circum-
stances, and had it not been for
quick-thinking colleagues who
pulled him away, he would have
been killed as the air, punc-
turing a buttock, had already
begun separating tissue from
muscle. McCormack was hospi-
talized in severe pain, but the air
gradually seeped from his body
(according to a doctor, in the
way air usually seeps from a
body).
-- Oops! Oswind David was
convicted of first-degree as-
sault in a 2006 trial in New
York City, but unknown to him,
his lawyer and the judge, the
charge had already been dismis-
sed by another judge due to
prosecutorial error. Nonetheless,
David has been in prison since
his conviction, serving a 23-year
term, and was freed only in May
when the error came to light.
(However, the New York City
district attorney still resisted
releasing David, arguing that
only the first-degree part had
been dismissed. A judge finally
freed David on bail while prose-
cutors ponder reopening the
case.)
-- Parents were puzzled in
June after Dry Creek School
District in Roseville, Calif.,
passed out questionnaires asking
for biographical details of pro-
spective students, including
whether or not the child has been
delivered by C-section. Parents
told Sacramento station KOVR-
TV that school officials were
refusing to explain why they
wanted to know that.
NEWS THAT SOUNDS
LIKE A JOKE
(1) Night club singer Simon
Ledger was arrested following a
performance at the Driftwood
Beach Bar on Britains Isle of
Wight in April after a patron
complained to police. Ledger
was covering the 1974 hit Kung
Fu Fighting, and two customers
of Chinese descent reported that
they felt victims of illegal ra-
cially aggravated harassment.
(2) Leslie Clarke, 29, turned
himself in to police in Darwin,
Australia, in May after author-
ities released surveillance tape of
a break-in and vandalism at the
Hidden Valley Tavern. Clarke, a
large man, confessed to going on
a drunken prowl with friends, but
said he remembered the break-in
only when he saw the video and
recognized his distinctive image
from the back, including several
inches of his butt crack.
THE REDNECK
CHRONICLES
(1) Zachary Woody, 21, of
Calhoun, Ga., was charged with
aggravated assault in May after
stabbing a friend. Allegedly,
Woody had escalated what was
initially just a fistfight over
whether Fords are better than
Chevrolets. (2) Joseph Hayes, 48,
was arrested in South Memphis,
Tenn., in June after allegedly
threatening (with a gun in his
waistband) the hostess of a birth-
day party to which his kids had
been invited but which ran out of
cake and ice cream. Yall didnt
save my kids no damn ice cream
and cake, he was heard to say,
and I aint scared to go to jail.

claimed she hurt her hands be-
cause she had to clap too hard in

Stars, stripes and sparks
A brief look at the history of Independence Day, plus festivities around NEPA
By Stephanie DeBalko
Weekender Staff Writer

Independence Day as we know it in America

is more than just a Will Smith movie from the
90s. It is also the day that commemorates July
4, 1776, when the Declaration of Independence
was adopted, and we declared freedom from Britain.
Somehow, over the years, the federal holiday came
to be synonymous with recrackers, hot dogs and
indiscriminant drinking, but the mystique surrounding
the Fourth of July goes a lot deeper than you might
think, proven by the urry of facts we dug up about this
very patriotic day.
As time goes by
Get in my belly
Independence Day by the numbers
Although the most common
event associated with July 4 is
our freedom from those pesky
Brits, many other monumental
things occurred on the day
through history. In 1778, from
his headquarters in New Jersey,
Gen. George Washington
directed his army to put green
boughs in their hats for an

but then again ...

ust another drive up the
spine of the Back
Mountain on the Memo-
rial Highway. Then, out of
the blue, twin flashes of
blinding light.
Fireworks? It was really
bright. Like arc welding,
avert your eyes, bright. It
was in two spots simultane-
ously. Seemed like it was a
pyrotechnic display. But then
I saw wires whipping around
and tree branches falling on
passing cars. Something bad
electrically had happened. It
raised the hair on back of
my neck. We have very little
idea about the power passes
over our heads. All the time.
You dont stop or slow on
the Memorial Highway un-
less you want to become a
stain on the road surface. So
my glimpse of the aftermath
was just that, a glimpse.
I tried to do the right
thing. On my tombstone it
will say: No Good Deed
Goes Unpunished.
911 whatisyouremergan-
cy?
Something happened to
the power lines on the Me-
morial Highway between
Sheetz and the animal hospi-
tal. Explosions.
Your name?
I told him, wondering why.
Cell phone?
Now I was concerned. So
far, most of the conversation
had not been about the
emergency. Did he need to
know my name? And 911
doesnt have caller ID? I
live in Lehman Twp., we
barely have roads, and we
have caller ID. But I told
him.
Where?
Southbound on the Me-
morial Highway near
Sheetz.
Town?
Town? I dunno. Shaver-
town. Dallas maybe.
Address?
Address? I dunno. Be-
tween the Sheetz and the
animal hospital.
(If you are keeping score
that was the third time I
told him where.)
Which Sheetz?
There is only one here.
Power lines are in the
road?
Now to be fair: 911 guys
work long hours. They are
underpaid. They get loads of
prank calls. But I had been
on the phone for a while,
and now we were just get-
ting to what happened, and
he had it wrong.
No, I didnt say that. I
dont know because I am
long past there now. I know
there was debris in the
road.
Debris?
My instinct was to go all
Airplane on the guy. De-
bris, yeah, you know: Rub-
ble, wreckage, ruins, litter
and discarded garbage/refuse/
trash, scattered remains of
something destroyed. I
didnt.
Yeah, tree branches may-
be.
Ill alert them. Click.
The paper said the next day
that a tree fell on some
power lines in the Back
Mountain. Not sure if that
was my incident or not. Ill
probably never know. W
No good
deed ...
911 doesnt have caller ID? I live in
Lehman Twp., we barely have roads,
and we have caller ID.

athartic. Thats how
singer/songwriter Rick
Jones describes the
process of crafting the songs
that are featured on his de-
but CD, Chronicles of the
Heart. Fueled and inspired
by a turbulent period in his
personal life, Jones says the
songs helped get him
through it while also provid-
ing for a creative outlet.
The CD is basically about
relationships, says Jones,
33, of Carbondale. I write
what I feel. All of the hard
times that I went through
with relationships they all
came back to me. And when
youre going through that
hard time, emotionally, thats
what inspires me to write.
Some local music fans
might be familiar with Jones
from his work with the now
disbanded Madison Ave. He
also currently plays with the
modern-rock group Silent
Arms Race and the classic
rock group The Six East
Band. Chronicles of the
Heart, a solo effort, was
recorded at Windmill Studios
in Mt. Cobb and was pro-
duced by Jones and mastered
by Eric Ritter. Jones wrote
and sang all of the songs
and also played bass, acous-
tic guitar and keyboards.
Additional musicians in-
cluded Ritter, Allen VanWert
and R.J. Minichello.
I was tired of playing
covers, says Jones, when
asked what other factors
inspired him to record the
album. Music, in my life,
was everything. And I want
to leave my mark somehow.
When its all said and done,
I want to tell my kids, This
is what your dad did.
Jones names Barry Mani-
low as one of his favorite
songwriters, as well as
Bryan Adams, KISS, Aero-
smith and Rick Springfield.
Im an 80s guy, he
says. When I get on stage,
I think of it as more of a
show, rather than just play-
ing the music. I move
around a lot on stage, and I
think I get that from KISS.
Tracks on Jones new CD
include Without You, Just
Dont Tell Me, Real Love
and October Day. It is
available at iTunes, CD Ba-
by, Amazon and at Gallery
of Sound. He says he en-
joyed working with Ritter
and his other musical collab-
orators at Wind Mill Studios
and that hes already begun
work on a second CD, which
he hopes to release later this
year. Hell hold a CD re-
lease party for Chronicles
of the Heart on Friday, July
8 at Clam Diggers in Dick-
son City. Also on the bill
will be Sounds of the Time
Machine and Silent Arms
Race.
Though Jones says his
music was inspired by per-
sonal experiences, he says
the themes are universal and
that he hopes listeners will
connect with the songs. In
fact, hes fairly certain they
will.
I want them to be able to
relate, he says. I think
anybody that was in a rela-
tionship or in love can relate
to the CD and hopefully feel
good about it. When its all
said and done, I just want
people to remember who I
was, and hopefully my songs
can stand the test of time.

novel approach
C
olm Toibins latest novel,
The Empty Family is
evidence that his depth
and understanding of the writ-
ing craft has continued to
advance. Though the book
encompasses nine separate
novellas, the literal independ-
ence of the pieces from one
another is interconnected by
the theme of solitude.
At first, the idea of empti-
ness in agreement with family
suggests a contradiction. How-
ever, as each of the protago-
nists divulge their story, read-
ers realize that sometimes the
strongest sense of connection
we have is to ourselves.
An interesting aspect about
the book is that the settings
and time periods vary tremen-
dously throughout in ranging
from major cities in America,
England, Ireland, and Spain
during the early 19th century
to present-day. While time and
location changes, profound
themes of regret, death and
loss can be consistently found
throughout the novel therein
bonding each of the characters
together in their search for
acceptance.
But, in creating such stark-
ness in the overall tone of the
book, Toibin ultimately il-
lustrates how readers begin to
empathize with his protagonists
to the point that their flaws
become the one humanizing
aspect connecting the reader to
each character.
The protagonist in Silence,
for example, is desperately
attempting to seek meaning in
her own life subsequent to
loss. She writes (a) list of
grim facts led by a single
inescapable thought that
love had eluded her, that love
would not come back, that she
was alone and she would have
to make the best of being
alone.
As readers may observe,
Toibin has an interesting and
eloquent style of writing.
Rhythmic and winding, each
novella hangs in the readers
mind like a melody.
The Color of Shadows is
perhaps one of the most nota-
ble of the pieces. The story
greatly captures the sense of
alienation in ones own family.
Most specifically, the protago-
nist, Paul, signifies the exact
definition of the empty family
the idea of having everyone
around you, but not being able
to share your truths, dreams
and beliefs with them.
The Pearl Fishers is anoth-
er top preference. The story,
even in its bleakest of senti-
ments, is beautifully written
with a modernized take on a
Celtic tale.
It is difficult to decide
which of the novellas is su-
preme, as each captures differ-
ent reactions from the readers.
Overall, it would be incorrect
to convey to readers that only
one of these nine novellas
stands out as superior, as each
not only stands alone, but also
works in collaboration with the
other to further the themes of
isolation and eventually, reflec-
tion.

f you thought digital
cameras were an amazing
leap forward from flm,
youd better hold on to
your hat, because a company
called Lytro has developed
a camera that it says has the
potential to forever change the
photographic scene.
Whats different about it?
Shoot frst, focus later, is the
bold proclamation on the Lytro
website. And after looking
at some of the photographs,
I think they might be onto
something.
A modern digital camera
uses a light sensor to capture
images, but the optics work
much the same as those of
conventional flm cameras. You
still need to zoom, you still
need to focus, and you still need
to adjust the settings.
Lytros camera is different.
It utilizes a light feld sensor
a sensor that captures the
color, intensity and direction
of each of the light rays that
it can see. Compare this to a
conventional digital camera
sensor, which captures all of
the light rays and outputs
them as a single light source.
Lytros camera also introduces
powerful software algorithms
that replace mirrors, lenses and
the like to produce more rapid
capture of images and better
control over the result.
So whats the difference in
the photograph? You take a
picture with Lytros camera,
and then you decide where
you want the focus to be. And
you can do it again and again
and again, producing multiple
images that are focused on
different subjects, all from the
same photograph. Moreover,
most of us know that from
the time you press the shutter
button on a camera, it can take
one or more seconds to actually
capture the image. A light feld
camera doesnt need to do
any adjusting, so the photo is
tech talk
By Nick Delorenzo
Special to the Weekender
Thinking outside the box
captured instantly.
Until now, the theoretical
foundations of this technology
were available only in
laboratories, where it has been
around for many years. This
is one of those things that
needed to be portable in order
to be practical. Goodbye out-
of-focus or poorly focused
pictures. Lytro is calling its
concept Living Pictures, and
from what I can see its pretty
amazing.
Unfortunately, you cant get
one just yet soon, but not
just yet. You can, however,
request to be notifed once the
cameras start rolling off the
production line. Its expected
to be launched around the end
of the year and slated to cost
less than $500. W

Photographers using the Lytro Light Field camera can change the focus of an image after its captured.

CUPCAKES
AND TEQUILA
O
ne thing I love about writ-
ing this column is getting
to sample some great fare
from all around NEPA.
Since Im a firm believer in
having dessert first, lets start
with the yummy cupcakes now
available at Canteen 900 (900
Rutter Ave., Forty Fort), which
are made by Twisted Cakes.
Before you roll your eyes and
say, Not another cupcake baker,
with flavors like bananas foster,
tiramisu, chocolate-covered cher-
ry and salted caramel, its easy to
see that Twisted Cakes cupcakes
are different.
Its kind of like a creative
thing for me, owner Tish Rossi
told Dish. I like all these great
desserts, but I dont like to eat
huge portions of it, so I thought it
would be an awesome idea to mix
and match a little bit of every-
thing and see if I could squeeze it
down into cupcakes. I just browse
through recipes and try this and
that until it works.
And it does. When I visited
last week, I sampled Twisted
Cakes raspberry pie crust and
bananas foster cupcakes. The
former had a flakey crust outside
and a moist cupcake inside, filled
with tasty raspberry filling and
topped with a delectable pud-
ding-like frosting. The bananas
foster tasted like a moist, dense
buttermilk biscuit filled with
flavorful mashed bananas, and
the cream cheese frosting was
velvety and delicious.
Rossi, a North Carolina native
who founded Twisted Cakes in
December, said it took three or
four tries to perfect the bananas
foster.
The most important thing to
me when I make these cupcakes
is I really want it to taste like the
true dessert, she said. So its a
lot of work and a lot of eating
cupcakes to get it just right.
Thank goodness I run, or Id
never be able to survive!
The flavors at Canteen 900
change daily, and diners can
watch for mango coconut mousse
in the future, though I havent
quite figured out how to stuff the
mousse in the cupcake just yet,
Rossi mused.
Find Canteen 900 and Twisted
Cakes on Facebook to see what
flavors will be offered or call
570.338.2547 or 690.1047.
Also on my Dish rounds last
week, I paid a visit to Agave
Cantina & Tequila Bar, which
occupies the other half of the
building occupied by Bellissimo
Pizzeria & Ristorante (223
Northern Blvd., Clarks Summit).
Agave is bright and airy, giving
the feel of a seaside cantina,
especially with its bevy of entic-
ing tequila-laced drinks on the
menu. General Manager Amau-
ry Oliveira said Agave offers
50-plus brands of tequila, in-
cluding el Jimador, Cazadores
and Patron, including the brands
new XO, a tequila-coffee hybrid.
And then, of course, theres
Agaves ample food menu, from
tacos and tortas (sandwiches) to
burritos and enchiladas, no Mex-
ican craving will be unfed. I
nibbled the Agave sampler,
which included a delish chicken
quesadilla, yummy spicy beef
nachos, a crispy beef taquito and
a tender chicken flauta, plus the
mango chicken salad, which
featured grilled chicken, tomato
and mango with an amazing
honey-lime homemade dressing.
Check Agave out for yourself
and have a watermelon mar-
garita (or two) for me. Call
586.6001 or find the restaurant
on Facebook for more info. W

movie review

By Mike Sullivan
Weekender Correspondent
S
top it. Just stop it,
America. Cameron Diaz
is not going to sleep
with you. So please stop
pretending that this marginally
talented person is funny. If not,
youre only going to get more
movies like Bad Teacher. Is
that what you want? To watch
joy and laughter die slowly in
a ditch? Because thats what is
going to happen if you allow her
to continue making comedies.
Its your decision, America.
Choose wisely.
Bad Teacher has nothing
at all to do with Bad Santa
and does not involve Billy Bob
Thornton as a foul-mouthed
janitor who moonlights as a
physics teacher or whatever
(sadly). Instead Bad Teacher
involves Diaz as Elizabeth
Halsey, a foul-mouthed teacher
who glumly sleepwalks
through her job when her rich
ance dumps her for being a
gold digger. With no desire
to continue molding young
minds, Elizabeth attempts to
seduce Mr. Delacorte (Justin
Timberlake, who isnt going to
sleep with you either, America.
Stop encouraging him), a nerdy,
oblivious substitute teacher
who also happens to be an heir
to a watch-company fortune.
However, a rival teacher (Lucy
Punch, overacting wildly), who
actually shares more in common
with Delacorte, stands in the
way of Elizabeths self-centered
desires.
What the hell happened
here? Jake Kasdan has directed
strong underrated comedies like
Zero Effect and Walk Hard:
The Dewey Cox Story, while
screenwriters Gene Stupnitsky
and Lee Eisenberg have written
some of the strongest episodes
of The Ofce (most notably
The Dinner Party and The
Coup). So why exactly is Bad
Teacher such a failure? Mostly
its because of Diaz who,
admittedly, is very convincing
as a grotesquely vile human
being (what a surprise) but
theres no spark or bite behind
the performance. Diaz portrays
Elizabeth in such a dour, lifeless
way that she quickly destroys
the comic potential of every
scene she appears in although,
not that many scenes had very
much comic potential to begin
with.
The movie is dark comedy at

Oh, what could be so bad about
Americas Sweetheart?
Cameron Diaz, Jason Segel and Justin Timberlake star in Bad Teacher.
its most blandly calculating. Its
the kind of movie that too often
substitutes swearing with actual
humor. This manufactured shock
value might have been tolerable
if it had been played with even
a minor degree of subtlety, but
everything about Bad Teacher
is broad and over-the-top. Just
like Stupnitsky and Eisenbergs
disappointing Year One, cheap
and easy laughs are mined from
boners, farts and dry-humping
while Elizabeths fellow faculty
members are nothing more than
dorky, one-dimensional foils.
It reveals what The Ofce
would be like if every character
was Michael Scott, and its not
pretty.
Still, considering the level
of talent behind the scenes,
there are occasional glimpses
of the smart comedy Bad
Teacher could have been. In
one of the best running gags,
Elizabeth ironically shows her
students feel-good high school
dramas like Stand By Me in
lieu of an actual lesson plan,
while the bits involving the
corruptive inuence Elizabeth
has over her meek quasi-friend,
Lynn (Phyllis Smith) are
well-observed. Theres even a
cameo appearance from The
Upright Citizen Brigades Matt
Besser as an Abraham Lincoln
impersonator who loathes his
job and a funny scene between
Reno 911s Thomas Lennon
and Modern Familys Eric
Stonestreet. Unfortunately, these
moments are eeting and mostly
left in the margins.
Alot of critics have wrongly
dismissed Bad Teacher
because the movie doesnt give
you any characters you can root
for or side with. Although that is
true, that isnt the real issue with
Bad Teacher. The lm isnt a
failure because its lled with
truly unlikable characters. Its
a failure because none of those
unlikable characters are funny.

nlike pole dancing and
stripteasing, the genre
of burlesque has got-
ten a bad rap for being
something that its tech-
nically not. Sure, it some-
times involves provocative
dancing and often risqu
costumes, but its rich history
speaks more to the femi-
ninity of women (of all siz-
es) than it does to satisfying
the primal urges of someone
else.
But you dont have to take
our word for it. The owners
of Star Tresses Grand Salon
& Day Spa in Forty Fort,
Carolyn Salvaggio and Hil-
ary Forlenza, in conjunction
with some of the women
behind Whirligig Hoopers,
Susan Anderson and Jenny
Hill, are offering Girls
Night Out: An Evening of
Burlesque Friday, July 1
from 6-8 p.m. at the salon.
The workshop will feature
a history of the genre
which is more theatrical than
sexual along with demon-
strations of some basic tech-
niques for glove and stock-
ing peels, taught by An-
derson and Hill. Attendees
will also make a fascinator,
a hair accessory that is his-
torically quite flamboyant,
and will be given a sexy
little hair and makeup trans-
formation by the team at
Star Tresses.
The idea for the class
came about spontaneously, as
Anderson and Hill are in-
volved in hooping (a type of
dance that involves the use
of a large hoop) and An-
derson has been a client of
the salon for a long time
and has a close relationship
with Forlenza, who is also
an experienced makeup art-
ist. After a hoop class at
The New York School of
Burlesque, where hooping
and burlesque were com-
bined, and a straight bur-
lesque class in Philadelphia,
Anderson and Hill developed
an interest in the genre and
began to talk about the idea
of doing something locally
that would give women the
same feeling of empower-
ment they experienced in the
varied classes they took.
We just want them to
know were real people,
Anderson said. This is not
what we do (for a living).
There are days that I feel
less than perfect, there are
days that I feel better about
myself. But its something
that has made us feel a little
bit better, and we kind of
want (guests) to take that
home with them.
The workshop is in line
with what the salon has al-
ways aimed for, which is to
create looks for women that
make them feel confident
and unique. And attendees
can expect a makeover that
will be less period drama
and more evening sexy.
Its by personality, For-
lenza said, explaining her
technique. Because every-
one that walks through this
door is not going to be as,
maybe, adventurous or as
conservative. You have con-
servative women, you have
athletic women, you have
no-nonsense women, you
have dramatic women, you
have exotic women, and
thats what I play on. You
dont want to do something
to someone thats going to
make them feel uncomfort-
able.
And comfort is what the
evening is all about. Nobody
will have to get up and per-
form in front of the entire
class. Instead, guests will be
able to enjoy a glass of
wine and some pampering,
and then learn some theat-
rical techniques in, most
likely, a roundtable style.
Its about empowering
women, its about confi-
dence, its about feeling
beautiful, and feeling secure,
inside your own body, For-
lenza said. Thats the bot-
tom line. W

oe Elliott of Def Lep-
pard doesnt like MTV.
Sure, one might scratch
their head and wonder why,
considering that during a
good part of the 80s, the
network played, in heavy
rotation, many of the bands
hits. In fact, Bringin On
The Heartbreak, the second
single from 1981s High n
Dry, was one of the first
metal videos played on the
network.
What pisses Elliott off
about MTV is how the
channel, which turns 30 this
year, has changed from
ground-breaking music tele-
vision to a reality-show gen-
erator.
I think its the most sad-
dest thing Ive ever seen,
Elliott told the Weekender
from his West Palm Beach,
Fla., hotel room two weeks
ago. The decline of MTV
is worse than watching some
relative die of Alzheimers.
Its awful, Im sorry
but it is. I wont be
celebrating its 30th.
Im not a fan at
all. I think it
stinks. I can total-
ly understand if
people stopped
watching videos,
but its not MTV,
so just put it in a
coffin and bury it
for Gods sake.
Despite having its
biggest success in the
80s and early 90s,
theres no need to put
Def Leppard in a coffin.
In May, photographer
Ross Halfin published
Def Leppard: The De-
finitive Visual History,
featuring a foreword by
Elliott; the band re-
leased its first live
album, Mirrorball in
early June and is now
on a tour of the same name,
which stops at Toyota Pavil-
ion at Montage Mountain in
Scranton Wednesday, June 29
with opener Heart.
Fans can expect a setlist
full of Def Leppard hits,
like Pour Some Sugar On
Me and Photograph, plus
at least one of the three new
tracks from Mirrorball,
which was released exclu-
sively through Walmart and
Sams Club.
Because we dont have a
record label anymore, were
totally independent, Elliott
explained. Weve been able
to go to every single territo-
ry in the world and literally
say, OK, whos got the best
offer on the table for the
band? And Walmart, by far,
gave us the best offer that
we could possibly accept.
Elliotts aware some might
think the band sold out by
going through Walmart, but
the singer doesnt feel they
broke any massive oath
thats like rock n roll leg-
end or something.
Our records have been
available at Walmart ever
since Walmart existed, he
stated. To appease the nay-
sayers of the world, weve
actually done a vinyl triple
album that will be available
in Amoeba Records and
places like that.
Def Leppard, which
formed in 1977 in Sheffield,
England, and has featured
Elliott, drummer Rick Allen,
bassist Rick Savage and
guitarists Phil Collen and
Vivian Campbell since 1992,
made its first foray onto
iTunes with Mirrorballs
Undefeated but it may
be quite a while before the
bands back catalog joins the
new track on the digital site.
Im not going to use
dispute, but were in nego-
tiations with our now ex-
record company and until we
come up with some satis-
factory decision, a relatively
sane offer to put the music
up, then we wont do it be-
cause we wont put our mu-
sic up for free, Elliott
shared. Theyre not allowed
to put it up, we can actually
stop them we have stop-
ped them doing it. We will
go with rerecording our own
back catalog ourselves or
come to some kind of nego-
tiation.
Unlike many of its 80s
peers, Def Leppard never
stopped releasing new music
over the years, but Elliott
knows what most fans in the
audience want.
The audience that comes
to see us arent coming to
hear B sides that came out
only in Japan, he said.
Theyre coming to hear
Sugar, Photograph and
Rock of Ages. Were not
foolish, we know that.
Even if only a handful
gets played on tour, there is
a simple reason Def Leppard
keeps creating new songs.
Were already 34 years
deep into our career, Elliott
said. We dont want to end
it anytime soon, but if
somebody turned around to
me and said, Youll never
get the chance to say this is
a song from our new album
again, I dont think Id want
to do it anymore.
Unless, that is, the band
got a good deal to play a
stint Las Vegas.
If somebody offered me
$20 trazillion to go to Vegas
for three months to do
something like (Elton Johns)
The Red Piano, Id go and
play Vegas because its only
three months, not the rest of
your life, Elliott said.
Im too motivated to not
keep writing. Out of all
the things that we do,
next to performing,
writing is my most favor-
ite thing, and I love
doing it, and I cant
see that day that I
wont ever write. W

keeps moving

ock music has been
flipped, stretched, molded,
remolded and bounced off
of walls since its creation. It
seems that come each decade, a
new interpretation of the genre is
put out there, and the kids of the
generation sink their claws onto
it and feed. When it starts to get
old, then its time to come up
with something else.
Grip of the Gods, a band hail-
ing from the Scranton/Dunmore
area that will perform Friday,
July 1 at The Vintage Theater in
Scranton, is setting out to differ-
entiate itself from todays rock
bands, developing what it feels is
its personal style born from the
diverse musical backgrounds of
the three piece. From playing
classical guitar to listening to
90s alternative, classic rock, jam
bands and eventually rock music
of the 2000s, Grip of the Gods
vocalist/guitarist Rich Barni,
bassist Alex Deck and drummer
Corey Deck has drawn out its
own hybrid rock genre.
Though its only been together
since 2010, the trio is shooting
for the stars with its endeavor to
push the rock genre away from
its current standards.
We really want to create the
path of where rock should be
going, said frontman Barni, 28.
The band recently released its
5-track disc, The Destination of
Man, a sophomore EP following
its debut 3-track Walking in
Monologues. With well-structur-
ed guitar fills backed by well-fit
basslines and drums, each com-
ponent fits together like an in-
tricate puzzle. Destination of
Man is instrumentally light-
hearted and listeners will be able
to hear that the band put a lot
into recording the five tracks.
On top of upgrading its pro-
duction techniques in its home
studio and taking a different
approach to songwriting, Grip of
the Gods feels that The Destina-
tion of Man is an improvement
from its beginning work.
Its better defined, Barni said
while sitting in a coffee shop in
Manayunk, near Philadelphia, a
few hours before the band would
take the stage at The Grape
Room. Its a better representa-
tion of who we are.
According to Barni, The
Destination of Man is a concept
EP. While we may think a con-
ceptual record would fall under
the categories of creating a char-
acter or telling a story, such as
David Bowies famous The Rise
and Fall of Ziggy Stardust & the
Spiders from Mars or Alice
Coopers 2008 full-length,
Along Came a Spider, Grip of
the Gods is taking a personal
approach to its concept. Instead
of outlining a story for the EP to
follow, the songs take on themes
that it takes to heart.
Its not really the concept of
the EP, but the underlying con-
cept of the band itself, said Alex
Deck, 24. The whole thing is
just the lack of power of human
condition.
Its more of a philosophical
approach to mankind, added
Barni. Its more of knowing that
were powerless over whats
going on. You just have to deal
with the situations that arise and
hang tight.
Grip of the Gods has been
working endlessly to get its mu-
sic out there. With migrating
from NEPA to Philadelphia and
investing its time and money
with the inevitable suffer of emo-
tional drainage, the band wants
nothing more than to live off of
its music and to push it out to the
world.
This is what I want to do with
my life, said Barni. Its literally
been a life sacrifice at this point.

ralphie report
the
By Ralphie Aversa
Special to the Weekender
A
n alleged violation of
Katy Perrys trans-
portation rider led to
an argument with a local
driver in Philadelphia on
Friday. Although two sep-
arate sources confirmed that
there was an incident, only
one specified that the driver
was replaced.
Dont equate the I Kissed
a Girl singer to Van Halen
because when the princess of
pop writes something in her
rider, she means it!
Of course, it was the
aforementioned band who
gained notoriety for requir-
ing in its performance rider
that all of the brown candies
be removed from any bowl
of M&Ms backstage. Turn-
ed out VH wasnt discrimi-
nating against brown
M&Ms, but rather making
sure that the promoter was
actually reading the rider.
An artists rider also in-
cludes specifications regard-
ing equipment, safety, travel
and other amenities and ac-
commodations. VH reasoned
that if the promoter didnt
pay attention to the food
section, would there be other
parts of the document unat-
tended to?
Perrys 45-page concert
rider, leaked to The Smok-
ing Gun before her Cali-
fornia Dreams Tour com-
menced, reads typical for a
star of her caliber: Flower
arrangements in her dressing
room must not contain car-
nations (allergies?), she re-
quires a 1-bedroom presi-
dential suite in a 5-star
property and would like
water dispensers, not bottles,
backstage, a nod to her eco-
friendliness.
The singer also outlines a
23-point Principle Driver
Policy, which mandates that
drivers not start a conversa-
tion with the client and
not stare at the backseat
through the rearview mirror.
The sources allege it was
the latter requirement Perrys
driver in Philly did not fol-
low.
At face value, the exces-
siveness of the driver de-
mands seem diva-ish. But
after reading each one, the
bullet points seem to reflect
more of a concern for Per-
rys safety than anything else
(would you want your driver
staring at you or looking at
the road?), and perhaps were
inspired by previous inci-
dents.
Another backstage move
by Perry which could be
perceived as uppity (but not
listed in the rider) is her
refusal to speak with any
local staff prior to a show.
She acknowledges the staff
backstage, usually with a
smile and does speak with
fans. This is probably en-
forced to keep staff from
talking instead of working
and, more importantly, to
preserve Perrys voice. If
youre wondering, Perry does
in fact need her voice. She
spends about two hours ev-
ery night on tour belting out
hits from her two albums for
her fans, no lip syncing. She
also mixes in quirky anec-
dotes about the songs and
acoustic covers of other
tracks. When the singer isnt
using her voice, shes litera-
lly sprinting from one end
of the stage to another to
take part in one of many
costume changes throughout
the show.
So yes, Perry does need
her voice and her energy. I
suppose its not too much
that she asks to be driven to
the venue in a safe manner
as well.
Besides, its not as if she
wont eat brown M&Ms or
anything. W

Radio Show weekdays from

Style files
By Rachel A. Pugh
Weekender General Manager
I
dont care what anyone says.
Jumpers are glorious. I loved
them in the 80s, and Im sure
had I appreciated style during
my infant years, I would have
loved them in the 70s, too.
Are they a pain to wear during
bathroom breaks? They sure are.
Are they a pain to wear when youre
trying on clothes while shopping? Yep,
royally. Are they worthy due to their
comfort and, of course, something that
overrides comfort: Style? You better
believe it.
Theyre not the easiest to pull off,
but if you have condence in your
style choices (or even if youre good
at faking it), you can throw your
shoulders back, throw on your ats,
and rock the jumper.
Proceed with caution, however.
Jumpers arent for everyone. Theyre
best suited for the lean, due to the way
they hang on the body. Never, ever
wear a tight-tting jumper.
Yeah, I know. You had a bunch of
tight jumpers during the early 2000s.
I had them, too. But that look is on
hiatus for now, and currently, it is all
about the loose-tting jumper.
And due to the owing nature of
this style, the jumper looks best when
it appears to be hanging on you. If
youre not of a thinner build, its just
going to look frumpy. And frumpy
is never good. Never. Unfortunately,
certain jumpers only look good on the
Twiggys of the world. This does not
mean all of them per se, but a good
majority of them. Im happy to report
that very specic jumpers look good
on curvy girls, too, but just like runway
models look good in anything because
theyre basically clothes hangers, the
same applies for the jumper.
Secondly, respect the cavalier
appearance of the jumper. Getting too
matchy-matchy and color coding all
your accessories with your jumper
looks overdone. It just doesnt give a
relaxed, I know I look fashionable
look, but rather an Im trying really
hard to pull this look off look. You
dont desire the latter.
Mix and match your accessories.
Throw on some gold and silver, or
wear jewelry with several colors or
Jumper
for joy
made of several different materials. For
example, try a couple silver bangles paired
with a few closinea ones or mix leather
bands and wooden bangles. If you choose
to wear a necklace (not required), wear a
really long one. The necklace will have
movement, which will compliment the
movement of the loose jumper. And if you
like to wear rings, wear just one on one
hand. Something somewhat chunky is ne,
but again, you dont want to overdo it by
wearing big dramatic rings on each hand.
You are going for a casual, yet put-together
look. You dont need to match from head to
toe, so experiment a little.
Thirdly, your footwear is crucial
when acing jumper attire. Do not attempt
sneakers, which will throw the entire
ensemble off. Flip-ops are a little too
casual, depending upon their style,
of course. Adressier ip-op can be
acceptable, but steer clear of plastic ones
or ones you would normally wear on the
beach. The strappier the shoe, the better.
This is one unied look, basically one giant
piece of material that you are wearing as
an outt. Drawing some attention to your
feet with a more dramatic shoe can really
make your outt shine. If your shoe is too
drab or covers too much of your foot, you
can look as though youre running around
in a gloried bed sheet. You want your
ensemble to have some depth, so create a
look by drawing the eyes all over, rather
than others just staring at one big piece of
comfortable cloth.
To get the correct look with a jumper,
you have to work at it a little. Its a science.
But its a class in science worth doing your
homework for. W
Jumpers, aka jumpsuits, give a breezy look to high-fashion style. Seen here are high-end jumpsuits by designers
such as Fluxus Suave, Karina Grimaldi and more.

Tips
By Janelle Engle
Special to the Weekender
from a
barbie chick
A
s older folks are quick
to remind you, at one
point in life, destroyed
or distressed clothing
were anything but a
fashion statement and
often were looked
down upon as poor or
unclean. Its ironic
because most people
nowadays pay more
for clothing that has
already been pre-
distressed or de-
stroyed beforehand.
Last season, it was
ripped and destroyed
denim jeans and
shorts, and now the
trend has taken over
T-shirts and tank tops
as well.
Depending on how
drastic and varied the
rips are in the T-
shirts and tanks, its a
look that is very
trashy chic, so if
looking like Ke$ha
isnt for you, look
for a T-shirt that is
only torn up slightly
around the collar for
a simpler style and
pair it with some-
thing plain so you
dont feel too over
done.
But if you dont
mind pushing the
envelope a little to
get a crazy unique
look, you can find
many fun options
with various ripped
patterns that can be
the perfect hot-mess
look for a night out.
If paying extra for
a shirt thats already
been ripped to shreds
and looks lived in
doesnt make any
sense to you, than do
it yourself! This is
also a great excuse to rein-
vent something in your clos-
et that you havent worn in
months. Just take one of
your old, already ratty shirts,
and go crazy with the scis-
sors. You can either use a
picture of a shirt that you
like as inspiration while
cutting or just go with what
you want to wear. Before
you know it youll have
people asking you where
you bought it. W
Above and below, Janelle models
the latest trend in ripped
clothing.

Andrea

Y
ou may have seen Andrea ONeills
face on WVIAplenty of times, but
she does a lot more than that. Her job,
which she calls unique, includes
doing research for documentaries,
writing curriculum, running workshops, producing
two TV shows (and hosting one of them), running
several contests and being responsible for forming
and keeping relationships with 35 school districts
and their intermediate units.
Its fun in a hectic sort of way, ONeill said.
Her work isnt limited to inside the walls of
WVIA, though, as she writes for a local newspaper
and is a sociology instructor for VLINC (Virtually
Linking INstruction and Curriculum) and then
theres that whole community thing
Community involvement: Girls minors
softball coach, Mountaintop Area Little League
board secretary, MALL Coach Pitch Commissioner
Hobbies: Photography, painting, baseball
Something most people dont know
about you: I got married at 18 and moved to
San Francisco. Yes, we are still married 16 years
later, and no, I was not pregnant. I also, more than
anything in the world, have always wanted to be a
jockey. At 5-feet-2-inches tall, I am too tall for the
job, but the one thing I have always wanted is to ride
racehorses.
What did you want to be when you
grew up? I wanted to be an astronaut during the
Teacher in Space campaign until I realized I was,
shall we say, untalented in the math and science
departments. I pursued a degree in environmental
resource management and wildlife sheries science
until I also became disillusioned by biology. So, I
went back for history and enjoyed every bit of it.
Claim(s) to fame: I met Richard Dean
Anderson (MacGyver) at a charity hockey game.
I drove my Jeep across country and back alone
at age 21. With just an atlas, some clothes and a
baseball bat that Im still not sure to this day what
I thought I was going to do with. Keep in mind, no
cell phones yet.
On my 24th birthday I was sitting along the side
of the road, taking a break from picking up roadside
garbage along the golf course when I realized I did
not want to do this forever. At age 25 and a mother
of a toddler and an 8-month old, I went back to
school. I worked full time and went to school full/
part time and got my degree two months after my
30th birthday. It can be done....

sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
Weekender Correspondent
D
ear Mom & Dad,
Most people would
think its time to reeval-
uate their life when they turn
on VH1 and realize theyve
hung out with someone on
Celebrity Rehab 5. The same
assertion could be made when
they reach a point in their life
where theyre competing in a
local version of Dancing With
The Stars. Not I. I like to
think of it as being right on
track!
That being said, I raise my
Xanax-spiked margarita to
Michael Lohan, courageously
battling his co-dependency
issues with Dr. Drew, as Im
in a battle myself: To cham-
pion The Scranton Cultural
Centers Dancing With The
NEPA Stars!
Last month I was asked to
be one of the local celebrities
to move and groove in the
annual event. Was it because I
shamelessly campaigned with
the help of DWTS pro-
dancer Mark Ballas in the
most harebrained campaign
since Kathy Griffins attempt
to win a Grammy? Was it
because I stalked the events
coordinator to the point of
hand-delivering flowers on her
birthday? Or was it because
they realize Im kind of a big
deal and were eager for my
celebrity status to attract peo-
ple to their event? In my eyes:
Yes. Yes. And yes!
So, now the term local
celebrity isnt only something
labeled on a T-Shirt stored
away that I havent been able
to fit in since I developed a
beer belly. Its a lifestyle. My
lifestyle. In order to capitalize
on it, Ill be dancing for char-
ity.
Held Friday, July 8, the
event directly benefits The
Scranton Cultural Center, help-
ing them keep the arts alive in
NEPA!
Ill be competing in the first
of three rounds with WNEP-16
reporter Sofia Ojeda and Dun-
more Elementarys Assistant
Principal Peggy Hart. One of
us will advance to the Finals
on Aug. 19, along with a win-
ner from the July 29 round, to
face off in a dancing duel and
see who will win that mirror
ball trophy.
Voting costs $1 per vote at
the event or online at scran-
tonculturalcenter.org by clicking
Vote underneath my name.
Please vote for me!
Hope to see you there en-
joying the open bar, food and
my attempt at burning the
floor with an Argentine tango
so hot the fire department will
have to be on call. Emphasis
on attempt
Love,
Justin W

While we keep hearing that things are
getting better, the reality for many people is
that theyre not, and in some cases they may
even be worse. Flogging Mollys latest album,
Speed of Darkness, has put those sentiments
to song, with the bands signature blend of
Celtic folk fueled by a punk-rock engine. That
engine is running a little hotter (and angrier)
on this album as the mood of FMs music has
Music supervisor Randall Poster reeled in a whale of a lineup for
Rave on Buddy Holly, an uncommonly good tribute album to the
Lubbock, Texas, wonder who left behind a songbook of staggering
quality when he died in a plane crash in 1959 at age 22.
The Black Keys, Cee Lo Green, Patti Smith, John Doe, Justin
Townes Earle, My Morning Jacket, Nick Lowe, Florence and the
Machine the list goes on. More to the point, pretty much every
interpretation from Fiona Apple and Jon Brions Everyday to
Kid Rocks Well All Right tweaks the original arrangement just
enough while retaining Hollys essential innocence.
The only real misstep is Paul McCartneys take on Its So Easy,
which kicks up an impressive Why Dont We Do It in the Road-style
ruckus before losing focus on a strangely unhinged spoken interlude.
-- Dan DeLuca

Hard work is probably not the
rst thing that comes to mind at
the mention of Dolly Parton, but
it should be. Shes been deemed
The Queen of Country Music
for a reason, and her 41st studio
album, Better Day, promises
hopeful, Southern-fried music
with a more contemporary edge
than shes ever experimented
with before, proving the
songwriter hasnt been content
to simply cash in and sit on her
laurels after a very fruitful career.
The rst single, Together You
and I, is a remake of a 1974 duet
Parton did with Porter Wagoner,
and is decidedly more modern
(and a little less country) than
the original. In fact, many of the
songs on Better Day are much

Better Day

Flogging Molly
Speed of Darkness
Various Artists
Rave on Buddy Holly
changed from passive protest and lament of
lifes ills to active revolt against them.
In addition to having a little more energy
than FMs previous work, this album also has
a much larger, fuller sound. While in the past,
the bands music made fans want to sit back
and enjoy, songs like Revolution, Dont
Shut Em Down and Saints & Sinners
inspire listeners to stand up and sing along as
well. FM hasnt forgotten its roots, however;
traditional folk numbers like So Sail On
and Rise Up round out the album with
some lighter and calmer music.
FM has slowly but surely been building a
loyal following over the past decade, and with
Speed of Darkness the band seems poised
to perhaps make a breakthrough to a larger
audience. Longtime fans need not lament that,
as this album is not a watered-down sellout
but instead just carries a message that many
people can relate to. Flogging Molly hasnt
forgotten how to have a good time, however,
and while many of the songs may be a little
grittier and angrier than past ones, they serve
more as a reminder that were not alone in our
desire for better times and better lives.
-- Michael Irwin
Weekender Correspondent
more progressive country than
were used to with Parton, which
is understandable, but it also
would have been fullling if she
had taken the banjo, the twang
and the down-home, old-school
country feel just a little further.
One song she manages to do
this on is Country Is As Country
Does, where innocent lyrics and
a catchy hook are pure Dolly.
Parton takes things to another
level with the title track, which
has a dual blues and gospel feel
to it, and the song Holding
Everything, though it starts out
with vocals that are just a bit
too breathy, hints at a nice little
uptempo ballad.
The Sacrice plays like
a reection of Partons career
and how far she has come. It
also sums up her personality
(like in the lyric, Grindstones
and rhinestones have made up
my life), and is a charming
introduction, for those unfamiliar
with her condence as an artist
and individual, while I Just
Might romantically mingles the
keys with intimate vocals.
Better Day is almost the
right blend of classic Parton and
modern country. If it had just a
little more drawl and a little more
of Partons signature feistiness,
it would have completely hit the
mark.

Ride of
the Week
Ive always liked owning a car thats different,
something you dont see much, Hromek says.
People are always asking me what kind of car it is,
they are kind of surprised to hear its a Buick. (The
Reatta) is only about 160, 165 horsepower, but it is
rather unique looking.
I also own a Plymouth Turismo and a Ford
EXP, which are also cars you dont see around
much. I rotate my daily drivers. W

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
We cant completely control who or
what enters our lives. Some things, of
course, you can simply walk away from if
they dont fit in with your vision of how
your life should look, but others arent so
blithely abandoned. Leaving them behind
would also involve ditching important
aspects of yourself, perhaps principles and
morals youre quite attached to. So youre
more or less stuck with these gate-crash-
ers, like it or not. These surprising, chal-
lenging, and confusing experiences are
called character-building for a reason.
Lets see what unfolds when one happens
to you, shall we?
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
Anonymity can be fun, but its so not
your style. Youre not cut out to be a
wallflower. Unlike some signs, you like
being noticed, most of the time. Whats
the point of flying under the radar? Well,
there is a point to it sometimes, when its
the only way to effectively get to where
you want to go since drawing attention
will likely slow you down or stop you
completely. This week you may have to
run counter to your natural instincts in
order to accomplish your goals. Go into
stealth mode for now, Leo. You can shine
again once the deeds done.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
Digging someone else out of the mess
theyve made isnt really your job, yet the
task does seem to fall on your shoulders
pretty often, nevertheless. Why? Because
youre good at it. Hardly fair, but there it
is. Im sure youre tired of this, but your
choices are pretty lousy: Abandon a
friend in a time of need, or roll up your
sleeves and get to excavating. To avoid
such crappy alternatives in the future,
make sure your loved ones know that
youre unlikely to tidy up such disasters
again, and they should turn to you for
help while theres still a chance of avert-
ing catastrophe, not after its all gone
pear-shaped.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Imagine stopping for directions, and
instead of getting a couple vague in-
structions and a sloppy hand gesture,
someone sits down and draws you a de-
tailed map, describes numerous land-
marks and points of interest, and takes a
quarter hour providing you with way more
information than you asked for. Their
excellent and courteous treatment of you
was in a way much more annoying than if
theyd just hollered, Its that-a-way! and
waved you off. Sometimes peoples won-
derful intentions can turn into a tremen-
dous hassle. The right thing to do is ac-
cept them with grace, nevertheless
along with the delays or obstacles that
accompany them. Try to remember that
this week.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Although a Capricorns eye for profit
might see it differently, someone elses
loss isnt always your gain or at least it
shouldnt be. You may see an opportunity
or two to spin gold out of others hardship
this week, but I hope you wont. Its not
something youre likely to feel good
about, and even if you can shrug the mor-
al quandary aside, such actions are almost
certain to come back to bite you in the
ass, probably just to make sure you regret
it, later. Skip all that and just help those in
need instead of taking advantage of them.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Sometimes something that seems like a
real advantage can turn out to be exactly
the opposite in practice. While it would
certainly be convenient to have a prehen-
sile tail, for example (better than making
do with just two hands and two feet), in
the end the hassles youd experience
whenever you tried to use it (not to men-
tion adjusting your clothes to accommo-
date (or hide) your extra appendage)
would probably prove too much to justify
having it, unless you hoped to find a
career as a research subject or circus
sideshow star. Check any lucky breaks
this week for similar downsides before
you accept them.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
Im pretty tolerant of most things, but
not intolerance. Once bigotry of any kind
rears its ugly head, Im done. If I think
theres a chance of changing minds, I gear
up for righteous battle and fight the good
fight; otherwise, I just walk away, to save
my strength for a war I can help win.
Keeping things that simple is my solution
to avoiding unnecessary conflict. Whats
yours? If you dont have a concise strate-
gy for picking the battles you choose to
fight if, for example, its based entirely
on your mood youre doing it wrong.
Devise one this week.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Leading by example is the only way to
go here. Dont even try one of those, Do
as I say, not as I do, deals; itll never fly.
Youll be called out on that shit so fast
your head will spin. The only viable strat-
egy is to really live and behave according
to the principles you hope to share. Eyes
are upon you whether you know it or
not and people are not afraid to judge.
It may not be fair, but you need to try to
abide by the principles you aspire to,
instead of just the ones that are currently
easy to live up to.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
When what should be fun turns into an
annoying hassle instead, you know youve
taken a wrong turn somewhere. Can you
retrace your route and correct your
course, towards hilarity and joy rather
than frustration and anger? Reclaiming
your sense of humor, along with a wil-
lingness to let go, will help you find your
way again. Much of your angst is caused
by clinging to ideas that just arent work-
ing, and forgetting to chuckle at peoples
silly foibles your own as well as oth-
ers. This is confusing, plotting a course
amidst intense desire always is, but as
long as youre determined to find a joyful,
satisfying way through it all, you will.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
If you break the rules often enough,
you can sort of develop a sixth sense
about when youre likely to actually get
away with it, and when youre not. With
all the authority-subverting you generally
do, yours is honed to razor acuity; howev-
er, your ability to actually heed it is not so
well-developed. Too often, you get carried
away by your enthusiasm and leap into
the fray without seriously considering the
outcome. That patterns got to stop, or at
least take a break this week. You need to
listen to the warning signs before you go
outside the lines right now or youll
definitely get caught crossing them.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
Dont get too pissed off when some-
ones almost cruelly blunt with you.
Chances are, they tried more subtle ap-
proaches before, and these went com-
pletely unnoticed. Sometimes youre
oblivious to all but the most direct and
obvious communication. Thats just as
frustrating to those around you, so try to
accept their brusque and frank treatment
of you with good humor instead of annoy-
ance. Its actually pretty funny, if you can
let yourself see it that way. If youre able
to allow a joke or two at your expense,
such communications can be hilarious
good fun, instead of angst-ridden drama,
so I hope you can.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
A diet of all snack foods isnt likely to
be particularly healthy. If that was all you
ate for a year, I hope you wouldnt be
surprised to find yourself overweight and
riddled with other health problems. So
why is it a surprise to you that a spiritu-
ally similar diet has remarkably analo-
gous results? What kind of nourishment
are you giving your soul these days? Im
not suggesting you become a bible-
thumping churchgoer, but you should
seek out and discover experiences and
people that feed this part of you before
its too weak to get your ass up off the
couch, even if it tried. W
