5 great things to do this week

Dance with the DuSteRS
The Lackawanna River Corridor Association (LRCA) hosts the inaugural ShiverFest this Saturday, Jan. 17, at noon. This event features an extreme kayak and canoe race traveling 2.7 miles along the Lackawanna River. From their start at Parker Street in the Plot section of Scranton, racers will travel downriver to Sweeney’s Beach, off Poplar Street. The race will be held through rain or snow, but will be canceled if the water becomes unsafe. A thaw party with food, drink and music follows at the Hilton Scranton and Conference Center from 2 to 5 p.m. Admission is $20. Proceeds from events such as ShiverFest help fund the LRCA’s mission to conserve the waterway. The LRCA is a nonprofit organization promoting the river through education, public involvement, consensus building, partnerships and hands-on opportunities for young and old. Since 1987, the LRCA has worked proactively with other community groups and public agencies to plan and promote projects which address the issues of water pollution, recreation, community development, land and water conservation and more.

infinite Hope
The Greater Scranton MLK Commission drew its theme for 2015 from a timely quote by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: “We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” The commission will hold its annual dinner on Sunday, Jan. 18 from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. in The University of Scranton’s McIlhenny Ballroom with featured speakers from Bethel AME Church, Catholic Social Services, Clearbook Lodge, the Scranton Police Department and keynote speaker Damon Rozier. An author, comedian and motivational speaker from Brooklyn, N.Y, Rozier injured his spinal cord in a motorcycle accident in 1997 and turned his attention toward working to make life better for other people with disabilities as well as himself. Tickets are $25. Call (570) 941-6645 for details. Additional MLK Day events open to the public will be offered at campuses including Keystone College, Misericordia Unversity, Wilkes University and King’s College.

resented in memory of the late Abstract Expressionist Artist Sandra Dyczewski Maffei, The Pauly Friedman Art Gallery at Misericordia University’s latest exhibit Fantastic Universe: Fusing Fantasy and Reality will present the works of Spanish surrealist Joan Miró from Jan. 24 through March 7. Accompanying the show in the adjacent MacDonald Art Gallery will be an display of “Frozen Flower” photographs by Dallas resident Morrell Devlin. A reception for both shows will be held Saturday, Jan. 24 from 5-8 p.m. After embracing surrealism in the mid 1920s, Miró entered the most prolific period of his career, according to a release from the university. “By introducing bold materials, he found a way to express the brutal and grotesque imaginings carried over from his childhood, resulting in an intensity and accuracy that conveys the inner life and transcends the prosaic of everyday life. His work is both meticulous and outrageous; timid and wildly outrageous; and exemplifies both fantasy and reality,” the announcement reads. Retrospective exhibitions of his work ran in New York, London and Paris in the early ’70s. Entire museums dedicated to his work opened in Barcelona in 1975 and in Palma de Mallorca in 1981. He would also be honored with a full exhibit of painting and graphic work in Madrid in 1978 before his death in 1983. The Tate Modern mounted another retrospective in London in 2011. The show then traveled to the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. Born and raised in Tamaqua, Morell Devlin worked with the American Forces Radio and Television division as a photojournalist and medical photographer after enlisting in the U.S. Army in 1973. He later worked in television advertising sales in Reading and at WBRE in Wilkes-Barre. He would eventually open his own advertising agency, MoJo Marketing, where he still works today. Devlin’s “Frozen Flowers” project started when an idea to freeze an old Seiko watch and call it “Freezing Time” coincided with an experiment in which he froze a single rose in one of his wife’s flower vases. “The vase froze and broke, leaving him with a column of ice with the rose frozen and an upset wife,” according to promotional materials. “Over the years, he experimented with freezing various flowers in different types of water, in an effort to avoid the minerals and impurities that cloud ice made with tap water. Through trial and error, he found a blend of liquids that provided more predictable results.” He went on to examine the frozen bubble trails that escape from the flower during freezing. “Water freezes at 32 degrees. As it gets colder, the molecules in the water slow down and become denser. At 39 degrees, it is actually denser than the ice it will form when solid. This contraction basically compresses the object in the water ... in this case, the flower ... squeezing out oxygen,” Devlin explains. “As the water gets colder, approaching the freezing point, it begins to expand. As it expands it slowly ‘stretches’ out the bubbles to form beautiful trailers.” The works on display in Morrell Devlin: Photography — Frozen Flowers represent a fraction of the more than 1,500 total works in the collection. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday; and Saturday and Sunday, 1-5 p.m. For more information about the Pauly Friedman Art Gallery, visit misericordia.edu/art or call (570) 674-6250.

BIG NOISES
WE WERE PROMISED JETPACKS — Unravelling THE GOOD: Scottish indie rockers WWPJ tighten up further and release their third. THE BAD: Nope. THE NITTY GRITTY: You could accuse these guys of trying to be all things to all people. The band likes grand sweeping arrangements riddled with raw emotion (frontman Adam Thompson clawing at your heart in his pronounced native brogue). They enjoy being moderately progressive and stealing some cues from the center of Radiohead’s catalog. The boys don’t even mind the occasional post-emo comparison. And while the band doesn’t necessarily stand out within any of these individual settings, the combination is completely lethal. Unravelling is good, loud and engaging, from the soaring “Peaks and Troughs” to the sinister vibes permeating “Bright Minds” to the foggy clamor running through “Ricochet.” WWPJ can either slay us with a melancholy pop song or hypnotize with a guitar-heavy drone; the guys understanding the draw of both melody and mood. And exploring all these options makes Unravelling cool and unpredictable. BUY IT?: Sure.
JULIAN CASABLANCAS AND THE VOIDZ — Tyranny THE GOOD: Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas returns with a second solo album (now with proper backup band the Voidz). THE BAD: The man’s solo debut, 2009’s Phrazes for the Young, was a gloriously goofy mix of rock and techno-pop that was a hell of a lot better than it should have been. Tyranny, on the other hand… THE NITTY GRITTY: If rock stars still went to Germany to make noisy metallic Euro-artsy albums, this would be Casablancas’ “Berlin” record. Songs run the gamut from moody classically-inspired dirges (the droning epic “Human Sadness”) to
24 J a n u a r y 1 5 , 2 0 1 5 TS_CNG/EC_DC/PAGES [E24] | 01/14/15
terse wailing post-punk attacks (the crashing “Business Dog”). It’s all very loose, multi-layered and “difficult.” One could argue the album contains little bits of inspiration sprinkled throughout its jagged peaks and valleys, but once beyond the 35-minute mark, we’re just waiting for this cacophonous hour to end. BUY IT?: I wouldn’t. Phrazes proved we could live without the Strokes. Tyranny proves the Strokes need to stay together after all. FOXYGEN — And Star Power THE GOOD: California indie rockers Foxygen come back with a sprawling third. THE BAD: Prepare yourself. This record is severely messed up. But that’s NOT necessarily “bad.” THE NITTY GRITTY: You can take this 83-minute love-fest a couple of different ways. First, Foxygen could be posing as an entirely different band, kind of like a modern spin on Sgt. Pepper. Or you can listen to Star Power as a bizarre late-night broadcast from some wild radio station booming out of the middle of nowhere. Some tracks are psychedelic pop tunes (“How Can You Really”). Others are super stoned bursts of nonsensical noise (“Hot Summer”). Cosmic blues or punk tirades — Star Power has both and everything in between. Not every cut is a keeper. Foxygen gives us a set that must be ingested all at once; the parts creating a greater whole that plays more like an acid-soaked freak-out as opposed to a traditional album. One must accept this trippy train wreck

EARFULL
ThREE hEAdEd TRibUTE MonsTER ThE idoL Kings bRing PETTy, PERRy And John CoUgAR To ThE sCRAnTon CULTURAL CEnTER Journey, John Mellencamp and Tom Petty have been some of the biggest, arena-filling names in music throughout the years. Tickets for these big-name shows can stretch into triple digits, but Saturday, Jan. 17, fans will have a chance to get a taste of all three acts at the Scranton Cultural Center. The Idol Kings are unique experience unlike a typical cover band — which would play a mixture of selections from various artists. The band is also different from traditional tribute band, which would focus on all material from one particular artist. The Idol Kings are three shows in one. Spoiler alert: the show will be exactly what it sounds like — three sets of fully decked out band members, wigs costumes and all, each dedicated to a different artist. Michael Crow, the band’s rhythm guitarist and Steve Perry (Journey) vocalist, said familiarity is Idol Kings’ trade. “You can’t spoil the show. I think one of the things that has made us successful is Mark Wanko (the Idol Kings’ Mellencamp and Petty vocalistslash-bassist-slash-guitarist) was right on the money with the theory behind putting the Idol Kings together,” said Crow. “When you see the Idol Kings, you know what you’re going to get. You’re going to get an hour and 15 minutes of
26 J a n u a r y 1 5 , 2 0 1 5 TS_CNG/EC_DC/PAGES [E26] | 01/14/15
Journey, an hour and 15 minutes of John Mellencamp and an hour and 15 minutes of Tom Petty. You’re not spilling the beans by giving away the show, you’re letting people who want to see this know that this is what they’re going to see.” Why a tribute band? Crow said it was Wanko who assembled the band. “About four years ago, I was approached by Wanko from the Kingston/Wilkes-Barre area about putting a tribute band together,” said Crow. “I had been in bands with many of the other members for years and Wanko pitched us a good line. Who would want to pay that kind of money or that much attention to me singing or to the band in general? He had a vision that tribute bands would start to become the wave of the future.” The band began playing gigs throughout the region and even beyond — up and down the east coast and out west as far as Ohio. The production and larger venue requirements, however, have kept the Idol Kings from playing so close to home. “There are a lot of bands, a lot of talented people who can put together a production like this, but you need a larger club to do it and those clubs are disappearing,” said Crow. “We need a place with an in-house sound and light system. If we had to
e le c tric c ity / d ia m o n d c ity 15:53 | GRAHAMTOM
rent a sound and light system for every place we played, it would really limit where we could play. So we go to casinos, which are used to putting on this kind of an event — and certainly the Cultural Center is ideal for this. We’ve played other theaters across the state. We’ve done a really good job filling theaters and selling out crowds sometimes four hours away from home. We thought it would only make sense if we could do it at the Cultural Center if they’d have us. While his career with the Idol Kings took off and developed away from northeast Pennsylvania, Crow says he’s happy things have come full circle to bring the band to play in Scranton. “I personally think the Scranton Cultural Center is the crown jewel of downtown Scranton — not only from its imposing physical structure, but its mission in bringing something different, something out of the ordinary, things that are a cut above, to Scranton,” he said. “I think the area is a hotbed of very talented people. We can hold our own on a national scale. There’s great people in great bands here and not all of them can say they’ve played the Cultural Center. As long as I’ve played music, I’ve dreamed of playing the Cultural Center and now I’m going to do it. I think that’s
ThE idoL Kings: TRibUTE To JoURnEy, John MELLEnCAMP And ToM PETTy When: Saturday, Jan. 17, 7 p.m. Where: Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple, 420 North Washington Ave., Scranton. Cost: $20. great.” The Idol Kings have been thrilling audiences by bringing a taste of big arena rock to fans in an affordable and fun atmosphere. “People who are going to come to the show are going to enjoy it because we’re going to give them a concert that they’re no longer able to see, or haven’t been able to see in a long time,” Crow said. “Let’s face it — you want to see a Journey show these days with somebody who’s not even the original singer, you can pay between $100$300 a ticket. Now you can see a Journey show with someone who’s not the original singer, it sounds just as good and what are you out, 25-30 bucks? And you saw three great shows at one of the city’s best venues.” — tucker hottes

This is jusT a TribuTe
Rickenbacker, a drummer with caterpillars for eyebrows and a bass player who could double for a kindergarten teacher.
Tribute bands are on the rise and it looks like they are here to stay. After reading this week’s piece on The Idol Kings, a Journey/Mellencamp/ Tom Petty tribute act set to play the Scranton Cultural Center, and seeing photos of the Neil Diamond tribute last weekend at River Street Jazz Cafe, the wheels inside my noggin started turning at an ever-increasing rate. Our area already has a celebrated Tom Petty tribute act (The Tom Petty Appreciation Band) which doesn’t incorporate look-a-like shtick or wigs. They play the music of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers with a few more random gems thrown into to the mix. Journey just played The Pavilion at Montage Mountain last summer to a packed house. Do we really need another tribute act? The 570 has also seen more than one Pearl Jam tribute act pop up in the last few months. I don’t know if bands see tribute acts as an easy way to play bigger rooms and receive bigger paychecks, or if they really love the targeted artist so much, they want to “BE” them. I do know that if I had my way, we would be able to go out and see the following tribute acts every weekend in our area — with massive amounts of tongue-in-cheek shtick included. The White Stripes Suggested tribute act name: Fake Brother-Sister Love Tips: Everything from the guitars to the drums should be white-and-red swirled. Must have black hair. Drummer must be female (absolutely no exception) and look utterly bored at all times. Misfits Suggested tribute act name: Mommy, Can I Go Out And Kill Tonight Tips: A lot of black clothes and make-up. Must have plenty of stamina and must know how to count to three really, really fast.
GWAR Suggested tribute act name: Catch the Blood Tips: Must have access to a spaceship and drugs. The Kinks Suggested tribute act name: Kinks in the Amour Tips: The Davies brothers come alive in this show which must feature onstage animosity and copious amounts of verbal jabs. Ike and Tina Suggested tribute act name: Proud Mary and Steve Tips: Tina must be a ringer. Ike can be anyone, but I would prefer if he looks something like Mr. Magoo to achieve the ultimate dramatic contrast.

neWs quirks
odd, strAnge, Curious, Weird & AbsolutelY true neWs From everY Corner oF the globe
Curses, Foiled AgAin • After police linked Ralik Hansen, 28, to a smash-and-grab robbery at a New York City jewelry store, he eluded them for seven months, until a FedEx delivery driver knocked on the door of his Brooklyn home. Thinking it was the police, Hansen hid under the couch, FBI investigators said, but his gun accidentally fired, killing him. (New York’s WCBS-TV) • A couple told police in Lakewood, Wash., they returned from a holiday trip to find someone had stolen all their furniture and replaced it with a beat-up recliner, a TV stand, empty beer bottles and pizza boxes. Police also found a pizza receipt made out to Steven Slavens, 19, who lives in the apartment next door, and a traffic citation for Eladio Lozada-Berg, 19, his friend. Slavens admitted taking the furniture but insisted that he thought the couple had moved and left it behind on purpose, so he called Lozada-Berg to help him claim it. (Tacoma’s The News Tribune)
CAn We All get Along? Charges of racism were directed at a clothing store that posted a sign banning Chinese customers. The store is located in Beijing. “We didn’t want to hang up the sign in the first place and lead people to think we Chinese look down upon ourselves,” a salesperson at the store on Yabao Road said. “But some Chinese customers are too annoying.” The store sells chiefly to foreigners. (South China Morning Post)

to choke his wife at their home in St. Peters, Mo. (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) • Authorities said Jeanine Fey, 53, attacked her mother with a stapler at the victim’s home in Washtenaw County, Mich. (Lansing’s WLNS-TV) CirCumventing nAture British social media accused London authorities of wasting money by paying workers to climb ladders and pull leaves from 145 trees in autumn at sites around the Houses of Parliament instead of letting nature take its course. “If we waited for the leaves to fall off, it would waste a lot of time raking them up,” a House of Commons official explained. “It is more efficient.” (Britain’s The Express) hot CArgo An Air France passenger jet traveling from the Dominican Republic to Paris with 142 passengers and 12 crew made an emergency landing at Ireland’s Shannon Airport after a fire alarm sounded in the forward cargo hold. Although the onboard extinguishers had activated, emergency workers found no fire on board and blamed the alarm on heat generated by a shipment of chili peppers. (The Irish Times) Cold-WAr updAte Separate Defense Department studies concluded that the Pentagon needs to spend billions of dollars over the next five years to fix “systemic problems across the nuclear enterprise.” Emergency repairs to the Air Force’s and Navy’s aging nuclear weapons infrastructure are necessary because neglect has caused their decay. For example,

investigators found crews maintaining the nation’s 450 intercontinental ballistic missiles had only one wrench able to attach nuclear warheads, so they were required to share it. “They started FedExing the one tool” to three bases spread across the country, one official said, because no one had checked in years “to see if new tools were being made.” (The New York Times) suspiCions ConFirmed “Men are idiots, and idiots do stupid things,” concludes a British study that surveyed winners of the Darwin Awards (darwinawards.com) over the past 20 years. It found 88.7 percent were male. To win an award, individuals “must eliminate themselves from the gene pool in such an idiotic manner that their action ensures one less idiot will survive.” Examples cited by the five researchers, all men, include a thief trying to steal an elevator cable by unbolting it while standing in the elevator, causing his death when it plummeted to the ground; a man who hitched a shopping cart to the back of a train trying to get a free ride home and was dragged two miles to his death; and the terrorist who mailed a letter bomb and when it was returned for insufficient postage, opened it. The study suggests drinking is often a contributing factor, supporting “the hypothesis that alcohol makes men feel ‘bulletproof.’” (British Medical Journal)
they accused each other of having homosexual tendencies. (Northeast Ohio Media Group) • Rachel Anne Hayes, 27, repeatedly slapped her 72-year-old grandmother in the face, according to authorities in Pinellas County, Fla., for refusing to accept her Facebook friend request. (Atlanta Journal-Constitution) • Police arrested George Robert Pineda, 44, after they said he attacked his 53-year-old girlfriend in Ocala, Fla., for suggesting that he take anger management classes. (Ocala Star-Banner) humble pie Judges of the annual World Pie Eating Championship had to nullify the results after discovering that the 24 meat-and-potato pies for this year’s speed-eating contest in Wigan, England, were twice regulation size. The supplier mixed up the event’s order with “a divorce party up the road,” competition organizer Tony Callaghan explained. “It was a shame, because these lads practice long and often. You can see how seriously they take it, practicing pie-eating late into the night on every street corner in Wigan town center.” (Britain’s Manchester Evening News)
problem solved San Francisco-based Flight Car began offering travelers free parking at airports in San Francisco, Boston, Los Angeles, Seattle and Washington, plus slightest provoCAtion a ride to the terminal and a car wash. In return, • Police arrested Alyssa Ferraro, 21, for assault- the owners agree to let FlightCar rent their cars ing her boyfriend in Hooksett, N.H., during an argu- to other drivers and receive a share of the rental ment over a game of Monopoly.

OPENING THIS WEEK
Blackhat Chris Hemsworth, Viola Davis In this R-rated techno-thriller, a furloughed convict (Hemsworth) and his American (Davis) and Chinese (Wei Tang) partners hunt a high-level cybercrime network from Chicago to Los Angeles to Hong Kong to Jakarta. The Plus: The players. Given that his touts more than a few commercial and critical triumphs (Manhunter, The Last of the Mohicans, Heat, The Insider, Ali, Collateral), writer/director Michael Mann deserved a short respite. For his first film since 2009’s Public Enemies, he chose a white-hot star in Chris Hemsworth to headline the action. After establishing himself as Thor in three Marvel properties (Thor, Thor: The Dark World, The Avengers) plus a few well-received side ventures (Snow White & the Huntsmen, Rush), this young actor booked an impressive 2015. Next up is Ron Howard’s In the Heart of the Sea (March 13) and May’s Avengers: Age of Ultron (May 1) … after the legendary Mann’s latest, that is. The Minus: The odds. Mann’s last two films, Miami Vice and Public Enemies, divided critics and filmgoers alike. Even his interim project, the HBO series Luck, got mercifully cancelled.
Paddington Nicole Kidman, Hugh Bonneville In this PG-rated family flick, a family befriends a talking bear (voice of Ben Whishaw) at a London train station. The Plus: The players. In an age when many H’Wood insiders believe that star power is on the wane, this flick boasts more mega-watt British actors than at a BAFTA open bar. Here, Harry Potter producer David Heyman presents Kidman (Before I Go to Sleep), Bonneville (The Monuments Men), Julie Walters (One Chance), Sally Hawkins (Blue Jasmine), Peter Capaldi (BBC’s Doctor Who) and Jim Broadbent (Closed Circuit), plus the voices of Whishaw (Skyfall), Michael Gambon (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2) and Imedla Staunton (Maleficent). The Minus: The scheduling. If this movie was worth a damn, it would have taken its chances during the holiday season when good family flicks soar (Penguins of Madagascar) and bad family films scour (Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb).
The Wedding Ringer Kevin Hart, Josh Gad In this R-rated comedy, a shy young groom (Gad) needs to impress his inlaws, so he turns to a best-man-for-hire (Hart) to help him out. The Plus: The player. Having busted out in back-to-back-to-back smash hits Think Like a Man, Ride Along and his stand-up concert film Let Me Explain, Kevin Hart is the marquee selling point of this comedy. Here, he headlines a cast that includes Gad (Frozen), Kaley Cuoco (ABC’s The Big Bang Theory), Cloris Leachman (The Croods), Olivia Thirlby (Dredd), Mimi Rogers (Almost Human), Whitney Cummings (NBC’s Whitney), Josh Peck (Fox’s The Mindy Project) and Jorge Garcia (CBS’s Person of Interest) in the feature-length directorial debut of Jeremy Garelick (screenwriter, The Break-Up). The Minus: The competition. One weekend, three new movies, an already crowded box office with awards contenders. Even though this flick aims for the adult, it faces a lot of other contenders this weekend.

Inherent Vice Joaquin Phoenix, Josh Brolin HHH — Bogie Nights Inherent-ly muddled, Paul Thomas Anderson’s roll of the Vice satisfies Thomas Pynchon fans and few others. In this 1970s-set R-rated dramedy based on the novel by the author of V and Gravity’s Rainbow, detective Larry “Doc” Sportello (Joaquin Phoenix) investigates the disappearance of a former girlfriend through a drug-fueled Los Angeles. Of course, this was the point. On the Penguin Press website, the publisher teases a work that’s “Part-noir, part-psychedelic romp, all Thomas Pynchon … private eye Doc Sportello comes, occasionally, out of a marijuana haze to watch the end of an era as free love slips away and paranoia creeps in with the L.A. fog.” So far as realizing this vision, one of this generation’s most gifted auteurs succeeds to a startlingly perfect five-star degree. For filmgoers in general though, especially those who qualified as “square” in the ’60s or weren’t even born yet, Inherent Vice proves only mildly entertaining. In fact, the film tends to get downright boring at points. If Raymond Chandler helped to hard-boil detective fiction through his character Phillip Marlowe in the ’40s and Robert Altman somehow satirized and elevated the genre at the same time with the idiosyncratic Me Generation film classic The Long Goodbye in the ’70s, then Inherent Vice continues this tradition and takes the detective story to the next level … we just don’t know what or where that is. Purposely meandering and muddied with sudden Spartan moments of crystal-clear clarity, much like a drug trip and/or a lost soul trying to find their place in a changing culture and society, the story proudly sports a Byzantine plot navigated by a stoner. We get it. Most of us just don’t enjoy it. Oh, like all of Anderson’s films, it’s always interesting. The director’s telltale stylistic touches pop up to mostly great effect. Working against type, an amazing cast brings some wild characters to life. His long takes, however, actually feel long for a change. Even after weaving toward the solution, only one thing remains certain about Inherent Vice: It assumes the title of “Most Divisive” film on Anderson’s resume from Punch-Drunk Love.

Sure, the reality gets heightened — just not to rips off a certain 1992 who-done-it. Part three clumsily tries weaving its DNA into the proven man-on-the- surrealistic lengths like Ed Wood. In fact, this stylish telling of fascinating real events here resembles that run formula that made The Fugitive such a smash success, injecting the lead’s hard-hitting detective skills Burton picture most of all, presenting history dappled with this auteur’s unique verve and wit. Of course, into the mix with middling success. It must get stated, however: Brian Mills, you are no Richard Kimble. these films share the same screenwriters: Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski. Quirky but fact-filled, Hell, Taken 3 isn’t even on an entertainment par with U.S. Marshals, the unnecessary Fugitive follow-up their bio-pic scripts (The People Vs. Larry Flynt, Man on the Moon) never fail to gleefully entertain while that Harrison Ford smartly skipped. Most of the repetitive goings-on of this flick offer standard issue serving their subjects respectfully. Indeed, Keane emerges as much more than a rough sketch and her action with very little intrigue. Sure, it easily one-ups the painfully redundant sequel that precedes it, but fight resonates as social commentary without becoming too heavy-handed.

Meanwhile, Forest Whitaker makes the most of a supporting role surface with Big Eyes. Controlled but still characteristic, the sun-dappled Northern California suburbs (not that’s largely beneath his certain set of skills, assuming Tommy Lee Jones’s Fugitive role as a duty-driven unlike those in Frankenweenie) hold a lot of stylized beauty, but there’s a sense of real world dread pourcop who kinda sorta believes that the protagonist is innocent.

Up Close & personal a new Year and nearme Nearme Yoga owner and instructor Chelsea Manganaro encourages people to “DO more Yoga!” She finds the time to teach and practice yoga, her longtime passion, while working a full-time job at Lockheed Martin as a contract negotiator. Manganaro recently opened her own yoga studio — Nearme Yoga — last November. Her studio stands in Moosic right off of Interstate 81 where people of various levels of yoga experience are welcome to walk through the doors. She explains Nearme’s mission is to have people leave “feeling better” both physically and mentally, promoting the achievement of a better sense of overall wellbeing. While Vinyasa and Slow Flow are among the classes taught at the studio, there are plenty of workshops people can also strike a pose for. The studio even has a little store where people can discover all sorts of items and gifts. Meet Chelsea Manganaro ... What was life like before Nearme Yoga? I’m from the Scranton area and currently live in Moscow. I attended Scranton Prep and then The University of Scranton. After school, I started working at a paper company as a financial analyst. I decided I wanted to explore some different things, so I quit my job and moved to San Diego, California for a little less than a year before coming back here. The job market was difficult out west. However, I had a lot of time to practice yoga. I conveniently moved in next to a yoga studio that opened up the same day that I arrived. At the studio, I had the opportunity to help out Xenia, a mentor and friend for the extent of my San Diego travels. She taught me mostly what I practice now here at Nearme Yoga. Do you have another career besides owning your own yoga studio? I do. Since I moved back home from San Diego, I found a full-time job at Lockheed Martin where I do contract negotiations. It’s very different from what I do here at Nearme Yoga, especially, since their product line is for missile and fire control. But I get to do many negotiations for various products.

It used to be a call center before I turned it into a studio. Yet, when I first walked through the door, I already saw exactly what it was supposed to look like. Everyone would say, “No, this is disaster.” There was blue carpeting, purple walls, hideous fixtures and three different levels of flooring in one room. No one thought it was going to work. But I decided to follow my gut instinct and purchased the building, knowing it was supposed to be a yoga studio and mine. There were a lot of hiccups like with any business, but my family helped me get it going. My stepdad did most of the work inside. Talk about Nearme Yoga.

How did you get into practicing yoga? I started practicing yoga about eight years ago. I began at Steamtown Hot Yoga. The owner, Lara, was also a mentor of mine. She was probably the first person to get me involved in yoga. I danced my whole life, so I came into yoga thinking that it was going to be super easy. I was wrong. It’s a lot easier to become flexible than it is to become strong. I worked very hard to balance the two and it took me a long time to get strong enough to do certain poses even with already having the flexibility from dance. If a guy comes into class, he can usually go right into crow or handstand poses because those poses have a lot to do with strength. I struggled with these poses at first.

Not all beers should be cellared. Most of our delicious brews should be drank within six months before quality starts to suffer. If you’re thinking about putting a sixer of Miller Lite in the basement for a special occasion, stop. Just drink it now. It’s not going to get any better. There are some definite exceptions to this rule. Find yourself a big brew with some heavy flavors and a high alcohol? Buy yourself two: one for now and one for the future. Aging these beers mellow out some of the harsher flavors. The alcoholic burn softens a little. More subtleties, previously masked by the larger tastes, rise to the surface and allow you to taste more of the beer than you had before. Take notes on the first brew and compare it to the one you drink a year or more down the line. You’ll notice a difference. I have a few I’ve been letting sit in a dark spot for a special occasion. Some are from Stone’s Vertical Epic line, which were brewed specifically to be cellared. Others have been gifts from friends that I’ve been holding onto for a special time, each one promising big, bold and boozy flavor. Others I just haven’t gotten around to yet, which is where I find myself tonight. After holding onto this beer for somewhere around two years, I decided to pop the top and share it with a friend. The beer in question is Avery Brewing’s Samael’s, an English style strong ale aged with oak chips. Its a bit like barrel aging except the wood goes into the beer instead of vice versa. Though I had it for around two years, the bottle listed a bottling date of March 2010. I’d worried that perhaps I let it stay too long. Its pretty near the five-year mark. I’ve never knowingly drank a beer that old before. Cautiously, I opened it. There was no explosion of foam or shrieking demons flying from
its open mouth. The pour was thick and syrupy, topped with a rather thin white head. I’ve read in many places that no deadly pathogens can exist in alcohol, but I was still a bit guarded when I gave it a sniff. The scent was everything I could have wanted it to be, however. Sweetness, caramel and wood. These scents floated off the brew in abundance. Surprisingly, I could still smell ample amounts of alcohol, though at a 15.82 percent, I perhaps should have expected this. It smelled downright antiseptic. I didn’t have to worry about anything foreign living in there. The first swallow was like smoking a cigar full of cherries and wood chips. It was sweet and full of oak. Each swallow left the wafting feel of burning alcohol rising through my nasal passage. Even after five years, its still full of big flavor. I could only imagine what this one was like right out of the vat. It was a bit sweet and cloying, making it a poor choice to drink in any sort of quantity as I feel I’d tire of it during the second glass. With such a big kick, however, a second glass is not needed. Samael’s was an excellent big and smokey brew. Next time I get the opportunity, I’ll pick up a few and drink at least one of them right away. Its tasty enough that I suggest you do the same. It has some real staying power.

PsychoLogicaLLy sound straight taLk from syndicated coLumnist amy aLkon
Leave story I had an amazing first date with this guy: dinner, a movie, a stroll around the park and a passionate goodnight kiss. That was two weeks ago. Since then, I haven’t heard a peep. How was it awesome for me but not for him? Were we, unbeknownst to me, on two different dates? — Disturbed When a man disappears on you after a great first date, it’s natural to search your mind for the most plausible explanation — that is, whichever one doesn’t shred your ego and feed it to your fish. Top choices include: 1. He was kidnapped by revolutionaries. 2. His couch caught fire while he was setting up candles around a shrine to you and he’s now homeless and, more importantly, phoneless. 3. He double-parked at 7-Eleven and then a witch put a spell on him, turning him into a Big Gulp and some skater kid drank him. The reality is, maybe you and he actually were, “unbeknownst to (you), on two different dates.” We have a tendency to assume others’ thoughts, beliefs, feelings and desires match our own, explains psychologist Nicholas Epley in “Mindwise.” What we forget to consider are what Epley calls “the broader contexts that influence a person’s actions.” For example, maybe smack in the middle of all that “awesome,” the guy was raking through a few thoughts — like whether he’s truly over his previous girlfriend, whether he likes the woman from Tuesday better, whether he’s straight. And sorry, but despite the “passionate” kiss, it’s possible the attraction to you just wasn’t there. One of my guy friends, a reformed cad, explained: “I used to do this all the time with women. I’d realize I wasn’t that attracted to them, but since I was already there on the date, I’d keep moving forward and see if I could get laid, ‘cause why not? So from their point of view, the date was ‘awesome,’ but what they didn’t know was that there was never going to be a second date.” The hurt and “huh?” you feel when this sort of thing happens is a measure of the distance between expectations and reality. You can avoid this by managing your expectations and the best way to do that is by not allowing yourself to have any. In short, until your phone rings and the guy is on the other end asking you for a date or another date, he doesn’t exist. When you’re on a first date that seems to be going well, the attitude to take is to enjoy yourself to the fullest in the moment — which is loads

easier when you aren’t all up in your head figuring out what you’ll say when the little girl you two have together comes home at age eight demanding to be allowed to have her nipples pierced. PaL rider I’ve been friends with this guy for almost five years. We’ve always been attracted to each other, but we’ve never been single at the same time. Now we’re starting to date and I have to say I feel a lot more safety and trust because we were friends first. I’m also not as concerned that he’ll take me for a ride or play games. Am I being unrealistically optimistic, or is there some truth to this? — Been Hurt Before There is safety in having been friends with a person for a while, like how you can be reasonably sure that when he says “Here, let me help you into the car,” it won’t be the trunk. And because we evolved to care deeply about maintaining our reputation, it also helps that you two have mutual friends. (A bank robber is less likely to hit a branch where all the tellers know him by name.) However, once you’re in a relationship, all sorts of emotional issues can pop up and start biting and what prevents that is not having been friends but having done the work to fix whatever was bent or broken. To be realistically optimistic, make yourself look at the guy’s worst qualities and decide whether you can live with them. You should also consider what went wrong in your prior relationships. Sure, getting hurt is sometimes a random act, like a stove falling out of the sky onto your car. But often, it’s something you could have seen coming — and would have, if you hadn’t been so busy sewing all the red flags into a big quilt. Finally, even if a guy doesn’t have a skull in his kitchen cabinet labeled “Marcy,” keep in mind that there are special surprises that will only reveal themselves once you’re “more than friends” — like his superhero underwear and his habit of taking over a bed “alphabet-style” (warding off zombies by sleeping in the letter X).

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You will never make anything that lasts forever. Nor will I or anyone else. I suppose it’s possible that human beings will still be listening to Beethoven’s music or watching The Simpsons TV show 10,000 years from today, but even that stuff will probably be gone in five billion years, when the sun expands into a red giant star. Having acknowledged that hard truth, I’m happy to announce that in the next five weeks you could begin work in earnest on a creation that will endure for a very long time. What will it be? Choose wisely! TAURUS (April 20-May 20): What does your soul need on a regular basis? The love and attention of some special person? The intoxication provided by a certain drink or drug? Stimulating social interaction with people you like? Music that drives you out of your mind in all the best ways? The English poet Gerard Manley Hopkins said that the rapture his soul needed more than anything else was inspiration — the “sweet fire,” he called it, “the strong spur, live and lancing like the blowpipe flame.” So the experience his soul craved didn’t come from an outside stimulus. It was a feeling that rose up inside him. What about you, Taurus? According to my analysis of the astrological omens, your soul needs much more than usual of its special nourishment. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In 1987, California condors were almost extinct. Less than 30 of the birds remained. Then the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service launched an effort to capture them all and take emergency measures to save the species. Almost 28 years later, there are more than 400 condors, half of them living in the wild. If you act now, Gemini, you could launch a comparable recovery program for a different resource that is becoming scarce in your world. Act with urgency, but also be prepared to practice patience.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Daniel Webster (1782-1852) was an American statesman who served in both houses of Congress. He dearly wanted to be President of the United States, but his political party never nominated him to run for that office. Here’s the twist in his fate: Two different candidates who were ultimately elected President asked him to be their Vice-President, but he declined, dismissing the job as unimportant. Both those Presidents, Harrison and Taylor, died after a short time on the job. Had Webster agreed to be their Vice-President, he would have taken their place and fulfilled his dream. In the coming weeks, Cancerian, I advise you not to make a mistake comparable to Webster’s. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In one of his poems, Rumi writes about being alone with a wise elder. “Please,” he says to the sage, “do not hold back from telling me any secrets about this universe.” In the coming weeks, Leo, I suggest you make a similar request of many people, and not just those you regard as wise. You’re in a phase when pretty much everyone is a potential teacher who has a valuable clue to offer you. Treat the whole world as your classroom. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Have you been tapping into your proper share of smart love, interesting beauty, and creative mojo? Are you enjoying the succulent rewards you deserve for all the good deeds and hard work you’ve done in the past eight months? If not, I am very upset. In fact, I would be livid and mournful if I found out that you have not been soaking up a steady flow of useful bliss, sweet revelations, and fun surprises. Therefore, to ensure my happiness and well-being, I COMMAND you to experience these goodies in abundance. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran engineer Robert Goddard was the original rocket scientist. His revolutionary theories and pioneering technologies laid the foundations for space flight. Decades before the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, he
move upwards as they grow. Their seeds fall to the ground, are blown off by the wind, or are carried away by pollinators. But the peanut plant has a different approach to reproduction. It burrows its seeds down into the soil. They ripen underground, where they are protected and more likely to get the moisture they need to germinate. The peanut plant’s approach to fertility might be a good metaphor for you Capricorns to adopt for your own use. It makes sense for you to safeguard the new possibilities you’re incubating. Keep them private, maybe even secret. Don’t expose them to scrutiny or criticism. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In his poem “The Garden,” Jack Gilbert says, “We are like Marco Polo who came back / with jewels hidden in the seams of his ragged clothes.” Isn’t that true about you right now, Aquarius? If I were going to tell your recent history as a fairy tale, I’d highlight the contrast between your outer disorder and your inner riches. I’d also borrow another fragment from Gilbert’s poem and use it to describe your current emotional state: “a sweet sadness, a tough happiness.” So what comes next for you? I suggest you treat yourself to a time out. Take a break to integrate the intensity you’ve weathered. And retrieve the jewels you hid in the seams of your ragged clothes. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “All the colors I am inside have not been invented yet,” wrote Shel Silverstein, in his children’s book Where the Sidewalk Ends. It’s especially important for you to focus on that truth in the coming weeks. I say this for two reasons. First, it’s imperative that you identify and celebrate a certain unique aspect of yourself that no one else has ever fully acknowledged. If you don’t start making it more conscious, it may start to wither away. Second, you need to learn how to express that unique aspect with such clarity and steadiness that no one can miss it or ignore it.

and his American team began shooting rockets aloft. Members of the press were not impressed with his unusual ideas, however. They thought he was a misinformed crank. In 1920, The New York Times sneered that he was deficient in “the knowledge ladled out daily in our high schools.” Forty-nine years later, after his work had led to spectacular results, the Times issued an apology. I foresee a more satisfying progression toward vindication for you, Libra. Sometime soon, your unsung work or unheralded efforts will be recognized. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the plot of the TV science-fiction show Ascension, the U.S. government has conducted an elaborate covert experiment for 50 years. An outside investigator named Samantha Krueger discovers the diabolical contours of the project and decides to reveal the truth to the public. “We’re going full Snowden,” she tells a seemingly sympathetic conspiracy theorist. She’s invoking the name of Edward Snowden, the renegade computer administrator who in the real world leaked classified information that the U.S. government wanted to keep hidden. It might be time for you to go at least mini-Snowden yourself, Scorpio — not by spilling state secrets, but rather by unmasking any surreptitious or deceptive behavior that’s happening in your sphere. Bring everything out into the open — gently if possible. But do whatever it takes. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In 1939, author Ernest Vincent Wright finished Gadsby, a 50,000-word novel. It was unlike any book ever published because the letter “e” didn’t appear once in the text. Can you imagine the constraint he had to muster to accomplish such an odd feat? In accordance with the astrological omens, I invite you to summon an equally impressive expression of discipline and self-control, Sagittarius. But devote your efforts to accomplishing a more useful and interesting task, please. For example, you could excise one of your bad habits or avoid activities that waste your time or forbid yourself to indulge in fearful thoughts. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Most plants
