Letter from the editor
For those who may not know, I graduated from Crestwood High School in June. As any graduation is, it was a bittersweet experience. It was sad at times knowing that a chapter has ended, but for the most part, I am beyond excited to move on and start college. To be completely honest, I never thought I would be the type of person to go to reunions or catch up with most of the people I walked with unless I ran into them on the street … until this past week. My entire school — alumni and currently enrolled students — all came together for one extreme reason: 16-year-old Brian Madry from Crestwood was killed in a car accident last week. Brian was just about to start his senior year. I didn’t know the kid very well, and I don’t think I ever spoke to him. His older brother, Mike, was in my class, and again, I only knew him to see him. It scared the hell out of most people and put life in perspective. Rumors floated around about what happened, tempers rose — and rightfully so. But everyone still put other
social
grudges aside and came together as one. It was a school that I personally thought was broken and filled with way too many cliques. A school I couldn’t wait to leave behind was closer than ever. I witnessed kids who were fighting for years that haven’t spoke to each other since freshman year cry together, among many other mended relationships. I don’t speak my mind often. I am a firm believer in “some things are better left unsaid,” but I think as Brian looks down, he’s smiling that the last thing he was able to do on Earth was bring everyone together and realize that we shouldn’t have taken our last years together for granted. Rest easy, B-mad. Matt Morgis Weekender Intern

Doobies still smoking 40 years later W
ith the release of its newest album, “World Gone Crazy,” the Doobie Brothers have not only been embraced by the country music community — the title track has been getting airplay on country radio, and the band appeared on an episode of CMT’s “Crossroads” with Luke Bryan — but has also been touted as creating a record that’s reminiscent of its original roots. While all of this is true, that’s not how the band approached the production process for its 13th studio album. Doobie Brothers guitarist and multi-talented instrumentalist John McFee checked in with the Weekender a few weeks ago from his home near Santa Barbara, Calif., during a break on tour, which will hit Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs Sunday, July 31. He explained that this time around, as has always been the case, the band just focused on making the best album it could without worrying about labels and outcomes. “There was no conscious effort to say, ‘Hey, let’s lean more country, or let’s go after that type of sound, or try to get some attention there’ or anything like that,” McFee explained. “It’s just the way it organically grew.” And the band took its time recording its first studio album in over a decade with producer Ted Templeman, who, according to McFee, has produced some of the band’s best records. “Ted asked me to contribute material, and I said I’d rather just sit this one out, as far as songwriting,” McFee explained. “And that’s what I did. I just wanted to be a team player and try to make my contributions in a little bit different way this time. “It seems to have worked pretty well, because the response that we’re getting from people is it
The Doobie Brothers recently released ‘World Gone Crazy’ and will perform at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs.
“The response that we’re getting from people is (‘World Gone Crazy’) sounds like a classic Doobie Brothers album that would fit right in with some of the strongest records the band’s ever made.”

sounds like a classic Doobie Brothers album that would fit right in with some of the strongest records the band’s ever made.” In the same way that the band wasn’t aiming for country super stardom, it wasn’t trying to recreate the “old” Doobie Brothers sound. Instead, the members wanted to lean on the original foundation that carved a place for the band in the American rock ’n’ roll genre in the first place: The writing duo of Patrick Simmons and Tom Johnston. From the start in 1970, the Doobie Brothers has been a fount of different musical backgrounds and talents. Though the lineup has undergone some changes over the years, the attitude and overall feel of its sound has been one of unyielding diversity. “My feeling has always been, even before I joined the band, (it) was open to including — and not just open to it but really embraced — various musical styles,
and not limiting itself to just one type of sound,” said McFee, who has been in the Doobie Brothers for 32 years. “And I think that’s one of the strengths of the band. For me, personally, it’s great because it allows me a lot of freedom to stretch out on different instruments and in different styles.” Those different styles get the most exposure on the road, where McFee noted that the band has always been comfortable. “Our favorite thing, probably, is to play with an audience. And (this is a) band that evolved playing in the clubs, and we’re pretty old-school as far as our background, musically. Of a different W era, I guess, in a way.”

his valley was due for a little heat. And that’s just what we brought to Nay Aug Park in Scranton with scantily dressed guys and girls. Funny, the people strolling through the park didn’t seem to mind. Did we get a few stares? You could say that. Did a few people stop to ask where the photos we shot could be seen? You better believe it. Did all of them say they would pick up the Weekender to check out the 2011 Swimsuit Issue? Um, that’s a given. After leafing through many swimsuit photo submissions as well as hunting down a few of our own models (since we have a keen eye for hot bods and
all), the Weekender organized a four-day photo shoot in the park, capturing the models’ — as well as the park’s — appeal. Hiking all over the gigantic park to get just the right shots, the Weekender’s swimsuit photographer, Steve Husted, set out to pick the best backdrops for each model. So flip through the pages to see Nay Aug Park’s natural beauty. Flip through the pages to see the fantastic photography. Or flip through the pages simply to see some hot ladies and guys in their swimwear. Regardless of your rationale, one thing is for sure: You’re definitely not stopping here. Happy page turning. W

news of the weird By Chuck Shepherd Weekender Wire Services
IT’S A …?? In January, a baby was born to Canadians Kathy Witterick and David Stocker, but seven months later, they still have not revealed to family or friends whether little “Storm” is a boy or a girl. The couple are intending to raise Storm free of gender-specific cultural stereotypes (i.e., such things as domesticity, aggressiveness, preferences for arts or mathematics) because society tends to overvalue “boy” norms. On a larger scale, in Stockholm, according to a June Associated Press dispatch, the 33 Swedish preschoolers at the Egalia school socialize in daily environments scrubbed of all gender references. For example, boys and girls alike play with kitchen toys and building materials, and when playing “family,” parental roles are interchangeable. Critics say the children will be left unprepared for the “real” world.

THE ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT! -- New, on the News of the Weird Food Cart: (1) grasshopper tacos (at San Francisco’s La Oaxaquena Bakery, but pulled in June by local health authorities, who were concerned that the bakery was importing Mexican insects rather than using American ones); (2) cicada ice cream (at Sparky’s Homemade in Columbia, Mo., but also yanked off sale by local health authorities in June); (3) maggot-melt sandwiches (which are just what you suspect — cheese and dead maggots — at the California State Fair in July). -- In June, scientists at China’s Agricultural University in Beijing announced that they had produced human breast milk from genetically modified dairy cows and expect supplies to be available in supermarkets within three years. Employing technology once used to produce the sheep “Dolly,” researchers created a herd of 300 modified cows, which yielded milk that was reported as “sweeter” and “stronger” than typical cow milk. CIVILIZATION IN DECLINE -- Growing Up Early: (1) A loaded handgun fell from the pocket of a kindergarten student in Houston in April, firing a single bullet that slightly wounded two classmates and the “shooter.” (2) Prosecutors in Grant County, Wis., filed first-degree
Who Knew? “The streets of 47th Street are literally paved with gold,” said one of New York City’s gold wranglers, as he, down on all fours and manipulating tweezers, picked specks of gold, silver and jewels that had fallen off of clothing and jewelry racks as they were rolled from trucks into stores. The man told the New York Post in June that he had recently earned $819 in redemptions for six days’ prospecting. sexual assault charges recently against a 6-year-old boy, stemming from a game of “doctor” that authorities say he pressured a 5-year-old girl into in 2010. (3) Lakewood, Colo., police, attempting to wrest control of a sharpened stick that a secondgrade boy was using to threaten classmates and a teacher, gave him two shots of pepper spray. (The boy had just finished shouting to police, “Get away from me you f--kers.”) -- Tippecanoe County (Ind.) judge Loretta Rush, interviewed by the Journal & Courier of Lafayette, Ind., in June, underscored parental drug use as a major risk factor in a child’s drifting into substance abuse. “I had a case where a child was born with drugs in his system,” recalled Rush. “Both parents were using. We were looking for (placing the child in any relative’s home), but both sets of grandparents were using. So (the) greatgrandmother’s in the courtroom, and I had asked her if she would pass a drug screen, and she said she would not ....” PEOPLE DIFFERENT FROM US -- Self-described Las Vegas “performer” Staysha Randall took 3,200 different piercings in her body during the same sitting on June 7 to break the Guinness world record by 100 prickings. (Veteran Las Vegas piercer Bill “Danger” Robinson did the honors.) Coincidentally, on the very same day in Edinburgh, Scotland, the woman with the most lifetime piercings (6,925) got married. Elaine Davidson, 46, wore a full white ensemble that left bare only her face, which was decorated green and sported 192 piercings. The lucky guy is Davidson’s longtime friend Douglas Watson, a balding, 60-something man with no piercings or tattoos.
ARMED AND CLUMSY (ALL-NEW!) People Who Accidentally Shot Themselves Recently: Sean Murphy, 38, destroyed most of his finger trying to shoot off a wart (South Yorkshire, England, June). A Secret Service agent (assigned to Nancy Reagan) shot himself in the hip holstering his gun (Ventura, Calif., February). A 17-yearold boy, playing with a gun in bed, shot himself in the testicles (Orlando, February). A training officer at the Ohio Peace Officer Academy shot himself in the thigh (December). Sheriff Lorin Nielson of Bannock County, Idaho, shot himself in the hand (December). Johnathan Hartman, 27, holstering his gun in his back pocket (after threatening his girlfriend), shot himself in the butt (Billings, Mont., December). A man trying to scratch his nose with a pellet gun shot himself in the face (Amherst, Mass., November). UNDIGNIFIED DEATHS (1) A 24-year-old man, riding a party bus for a friend’s bachelor night in Detroit in June, was killed on Interstate 94 when he popped open an emergency escape hatch on the bus’s roof and peered out at the sights. His head slammed into an overpass. (2) A 59-year-old woman, who had borrowed a steam roller to help with maintenance on a road near her home in Whatcom County, Wash., in June, lost control of the vehicle, sending it into a ditch, where she was thrown and fatally rolled upon.

e tend to keep things — lots and lots of things. Secret “pack rat” tendencies protecting collections of time-lost treasures. Oddities found hidden in dark, dusty corners of our homes. Thoughts of “I forgot I had this” and “What on earth was I thinking?” as discoveries are made. But are these mementos from our lives or lives of those long gone worth anything? Are our treasures ready for the trash can instead of the shelf on our wall? On Saturday, July 30, these questions can be answered as the guys from the History Channel’s reality show “Pawn Stars” set up shop at Mount Airy Casino as part of this year’s Gold & Silver Road Show. Father and son team Richard and Rick Harrison, as well as Austin “Chumlee” Russell, will be available to appraise, purchase or tell stories about various items brought to the show, as well as chat with visitors and sign autographs. Rick Harrison, co-owner of the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas, said he is looking forward to the road show as it is a lot of fun. “We cruise all around the country,” he said. “We’ve been everywhere from New York to Biloxi, Miss., and everywhere in between.” Harrison said he moved to Las Vegas with his father in 1981, where they first opened up as a second-hand shop, and eventually obtained their pawn license in 1988. The pawn shop, which has undergone numerous expansions over the years, now runs 24 hours a day and employs nearly 70 people. After four years of pitching the idea for a reality show, Harrison said it was finally picked up, and “Pawn Stars” debuted on the History Channel in 2009. Currently filming the fifth season, Harrison said he is
The stars of The History Channel’s ‘Pawn Stars’ will appear at Mount Airy Casino in Mt. Pocono as part of this year’s Gold & Silver Road Show.
“It’s definitely a little weird, I never thought it would get this big.” Rick Harrison of “Pawn Stars”
thrilled and a bit overwhelmed at how popular the show has become. “I like to say the reason people watch the show is because one week it’s ‘American Choppers,’ the next week it’s ‘Pimp My Ride’ and the next it’s ‘Masterpiece Theater’ — it’s really different every week,” he said. “Everybody loves it. It seems like every week, the ratings still go up. It’s definitely a little weird, I never thought it would get this big.” Harrison said the road show, which is in its second year and features seven stops across the country, is a bit of a mix between his show and “Antiques Roadshow,” mostly dealing with people coming to have items appraised and possibly bought by the pawn shop. And while many bring fairly normal items, he said it is hard to tell what all will come through the doors. “You never know what’s
going to show up,” Harrison said. “There’s always something different and weird.” Having dealt with everything from Olympic medals to what he described as a scroll of “200-year-old Japanese porn,” Harrison encourages people to bring out whatever random items they are looking to remove from their collections. “Come out. All that old jewelry or some of those cool antiques, if you’re looking to sell it, I’ll give you a price. If you don’t like the price, don’t sell it. But with any luck I can tell you something about it.” W “Pawn Stars” Gold & Silver Road Show, Sat. July 30, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Gypsies at Mount Airy Casino (44 Woodland Rd., Mt. Pocono). Tickets: $15 participants, $10 spectators. Info: history.com/shows/pawn-stars, mountairycasino.com, 877.682.4719

“You don’t have to be a blues fan to have a good time.” PA Blues Festival Founder/Producer Michael Cloeren
New location, same great blues By Dale Culp

he Pennsylvania Blues Festival is back to celebrate its 20th year at a new location — the Blue Mountain Ski Area in Palmerton. The Weekender caught up with the festival’s founder and producer, Michael Cloeren, to learn about what’s different and what’s new. According to Cloeren, after 19 years at Big Boulder, Peak Resorts made a decision late last year to eliminate all summer and fall events at its resorts, including the long-running blues festival and an arts and crafts festival which would have celebrated its 40th year at sister resort Jack Frost Mountain. Because of the festival’s past success, while searching for a new location, Cloeren was certain that he wanted
to keep it at a ski resort within the same vicinity. He wanted to keep it in a place where the guests have been used to going, and he is sure they’ll continue to enjoy the new location as well. “Blue Mountain is the perfect facility for a music event,” Cloeren says. “It’s basically a natural amphitheatre. You have plenty of free parking, and the mountain goes up, so it’s acoustically perfect. It has all the amenities that Big Boulder has.” The festival features chair lift rides, dozens of vendors selling various foods and wares and music on two stages with national performing artists. In addition to its closer proximity to cities like Allentown, Bethlehem and Philadelphia, Blue Mountain also provides another amenity for festivalgoers. “The other big thing that this site has, that the other site didn’t, is on-site camp-

ing,” Cloeren says. “The camping area is, literally, about a hundred yards from the main stage, so you can actually see the stage from most of the sites.” When it comes to blues music, and what this festival is really all about, Cloeren says that “this festival is about the artists who live it, breathe it, die it. That’s all they do.” Some of the headlining acts at the festival will include Shemekia Copeland, Otis Clay, Little Ed and the Blues Imperials, Cyril Neville and many more recognizable names to the blues community. “National artists from Chicago to Texas to Louisiana — it’s the full spectrum of the music,” Cloeren says. “From acoustic to electric, traditional to contemporary. You don’t have to be a blues fan to have a good time; it’s fun music and a mix of everything.” W

or most of their career, it’s always been about the members of Motley Crue; their decadences, their near-deaths, their dramas. But now, after 30 years as one of the biggest bands around, the Crue is making summer 2011 about the people who’ve stood by them through it all: The fans. Motley Crue — singer Vince Neil, guitarist Mick Mars, drummer Tommy Lee and bassist Nikki Sixx — let the fans run the show this year, picking everything from openers Poison and New York Dolls to the setlist, which includes live rarities, like “Too Young To Fall In Love” and a revamped “Smokin’ In The Boys Room.” “We wanted to figure out how to make this tour totally interactive,” Lee told the Weekender from his tour bus as he traveled from New Orleans to Biloxi, Miss., earlier this month. Lee explained that the band was looking to give fans an “experience, rather than just come to another show” on this tour, which hits Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain Sunday, July 31. “So we let them pick the bands, then we let them pick out the setlist of the songs they’d like us to play,” he added. “And during the concert, we let people text and send pictures to each other, and then I grab a fan out of the audience every night and bring them up on the drum roller coaster for a 360

(ride).” Lee, as infamous for his antics as he is his drum kits that rotated and traveled above the crowd on past tours, unveiled his latest “monster” this tour, the aforementioned drum rollercoaster. “This is kind of a part of the Frankenstein that I’ve created, the monster’s alive again,” he said. The idea for his drum setups came from when Lee was a concert-going kid. “Watching the drummer do his solo, I was watching everybody go to the bathroom, go buy a T-shirt, get a beer, and I was like, ‘That sucks! This guy’s kicking ass right now, and no one cares!’” he said. The young Lee vowed to keep people entertained during his solos. “I think this is definitely one of my favorites so far because yes, it’s totally insane, but also because every night I get to grab a fan out of the audience,” he shared. “And I think I get more enjoyment out of seeing their face flipping f--king

out than I do playing.” It hasn’t been an easy three decades for Motley Crue — professionally and personally. Both Neil and Lee departed the band at separate times, but eventually returned; the original lineup has now been reunited for more than five years. “You know, at that time in my life, I needed a change desperately,” Lee said of his timeout from the Crue. “Creatively I was freaking out, I needed to go do something else. I left on good terms with everybody, it was a mutual kind of thing.” Like most musicians, Lee likened the connection between his bandmates to being in a relationship. “You’ve got to step out of it to check it out,” he said. “And you realize that there’s really something very special that the four of us — and only the four of us — do. We have a real clear perspective on what it is that we do. You come back to the circle when you figure that out.” Motley Crue will come even more full circle in August when the foursome will be honored at The 4th Annual Sunset Strip Music Festival in Los Angeles. “This is going to be a trip because I’ve heard that right where the stage is is where we all lived together. We’ll probably be able to throw a rock at that shithole apartment from the stage,” Lee said, laughing. “I can just tell you that it has potential to bring a few tears to the eyes because that’s where it all started. “To finish the tour there is pretty f--king epic, if you ask me.” W

ALBUM REVIEWS Nathanson's not-so-modern love
From his breakthrough 2007 album “Some Mad Hope,” singer/ songwriter Matt Nathanson delivered infectious tunes like “Car Crash” and “Come On Get Higher.” On his eighth recording, “Modern Love,” Nathanson tries to do the same thing — and nearly makes it. Lead track “Faster” has lilting guitar, fun horn bleats and almost too saccharine-sweet lyrics (“you taste like sunlight and strawberry bubblegum”). The title track sounds a little dated musically, but its great horns and easy, conversational lyrics keep it fresh. “Love Comes Tumbling Down” is heart-
felt and slower than the previous two songs. “I’ll dance you round through the bones of this town,” Nathanson promises. “Room @ The End Of The World” features pretty piano and a frenetic pace that works with the world’s-end theme. Follower “Kiss Quick” is the polar opposite, with slow-plucked guitars and Nathanson’s soft singing. Standout “Mercy” starts with great guitar and handclaps and has a catchy chorus. His voice takes on a somewhat punky intonation to deliver lines like “This garden’s full of snakes and fruit.” The searing “Kept” has a great

Beat, chords and attitude Listening to an artist who is willing to abandon heavy studio production and sound and make rock ’n’ roll that has been stripped down to its most basic elements is always refreshing. July A.D. does just that on its latest album, a selftitled effort that, at times, sounds like The Beatles, The Ramones or any one of a
murky beat, while “Run,” which features Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush, takes a very sexy turn. The duo also cowrote the song, and Nettles’ voice pairs well with Nathanson’s, making “Run” another standout. While the drums on “Queen of (K)nots” sounds a bit like a fill circa the ’80s, the song about a woman whose “heart’s a jungle, a bar fight” is fun, with throaty piano and a crunchy beat. “Modern Love” comes to a light and airy end with “Drop To Hold You” and “Bottom Of The Sea.” Nathanson, a VH1 “You Oughta Know” artist whose work has appeared on “NCIS,” “Scrubs,” and “The Vampire Diaries,” still provides great guitar work and poetic and intimate lyrics. And while this outing is a good listen, it lacks the oomph of “Some Mad Hope” — and makes you want to revisit that album. -- Nikki M. Mascali Weekender Editor
number of bands that the Brooklyn duo cites as a major influence on its music. The album opens up with “You Say Goodbye,” with a sound that is right out of the 1960s, followed by the punk-rockish “Tanya.” The remainder of the album follows a similar pattern, with each song sounding like it belongs in a different era. “You Got A Strange Way” and “Her Next Sin” could be 1980s pop-rock radio hits; “Rave You Down” might have been penned by Bob Dylan or the Beatles, and the rambling beat of “I Hope And Pray” is a distant cousin of “These Boots Are Made For Walkin.’” Despite the wide variety of sounds and influences on this album, however, July A.D. manages to keep some continuity and thread it all together. In the end, July A.D. sounds best on the tracks where it’s tapped into the roots of rock music and just wails away; slower ballads like “You Put Me Out Of Time” and “December” just don’t have the same appeal. While the band’s name may never appear on the marquee of your favorite local venue, this album is a great reminder of what great rock music is all about: A good beat, a few chords, a little attitude and the volume turned up all of the way. -- Michael Irwin Weekender Correspondent

Queensryche “Dedicated To Chaos” RATING: W W W 1/2
Open-minded 'Chaos' The pre-release chatter on Queensryche’s “Dedicated To Chaos” lit up hardrock and metal message boards with not-so-flattering backlash. The band’s 12th studio release finds it further exploring territory it first wandered into with 1994’s “Promised Land.” That territory has taken it further and further away from the melodic, prog-based metal Queensryche honed to near perfection on classics like “Operation: Mindcrime” and “Empire.” The album’s opener and lead single,

“Get Started,” is a rocker, albeit not the screaming double-guitar attack of yore. The album soon trends toward hip-sounding, pop-leaning fare, example: The slinky groove of “Around The World,” which finds vocalist Geoff Tate seductively mouthing, “You’ve got your sunglasses on” over and over in a visual straight out of “Entourage.” “Hot Spot Junkie” continues the slice-of-modern-life lyrical foray, with Tate waxing about YouTube images. Several tracks are also laced with his newfound not-very-metal saxophone prowess. You can find the soul of the “old” Queensryche on “I Take You,” with its chugging riffs and dark, phaser-drenched lead-guitar runs. “Higher” is also heavier, with the band’s signature, Tate-led harmony vocals interspersed with the aforementioned sax runs, which are actually used tastefully and effectively within the track. This record is not Queensryche doing a complete 360 on its fans. This is a band (a progressive band, mind you) simply reaching into its bag of musical possibilities and pulling out its most diverse array of tricks yet. “Dedicated to Chaos” is akin to what bands like U2 have been allowed to do for years: Evolve and spread their genrebending wings into sometimes fan-frowning heights. You may need to open your mind a bit more to digest this one, but it’s worth it. -- Mark Uricheck Weekender Correspondent

Music on the menu
By Alan K. Stout
Weekender Music Columnist
MTV turns 30 M
TV will turn 30 years old on Sunday, Aug. 1. And, given that there is very little music featured on the station today — nor has there been for many years — it would seem almost foolish for what was once known as “Music Television” to even recognize its own milestone. And maybe it won’t. While watching some VH1 Classic over the weekend, I noticed it was that station — not MTV — which was preparing to note MTV’s big 3-0 in a grand way. And though that might seem odd, it actually makes more sense. At least VH1 Classic is still primarily focused on music. If there is anyone that can properly reflect on the enormous pop cultural impact of the golden era of MTV, I suppose it is people my age. MTV debuted in the summer of 1981, the same year that I entered high school. And MTV began to stray away from full music programming around 1989, the year I graduated from college. And thus for all of those years, from when I was 13 to 21, whenever you put on MTV, you usually got music. Much of it was very good. And you were constantly being exposed to new sounds. I can still recall August of ’81 and how quickly the station became a buzz amongst my friends. For some reason, Fleetwood Mac’s “Hold Me” sticks out as one of the first videos I ever saw. And it was actually Pete Townshend’s video for “Face Dances, Pt. 2” which first inspired me to become a fan of The Who. In 1982, I saw the band for the first time. It was my first rock concert. There were more than 100,000 people there. And it absolutely changed my life. Thank you, MTV. There was much to like about the early days of MTV. Even the promos, which featured the day’s biggest stars encouraging viewers to call their cable company and demand, “I want my MTV!” were fun. And so was the music. Madonna, Prince, U2, John Cougar, Judas Priest, Motley Crue ... I saw all of them for the first time

on MTV. Artists that arrived on the musical scene in the ’60s and ’70s also came to embrace the network. MTV helped break bands , helped fuel comebacks and helped move forward the careers of bands such as The Police and Van Halen. And Michael Jackson? As great as it was, “Thriller” does not sell some 40 million copies without MTV. There was “MTV Music News” twice an hour, a live concert on Saturday night and the rest of the time it was all music videos, 24/7. It was fantastic. When did it begin to change? And why? According to Scranton native Tom McGrath, who wrote “MTV: The Making of a Revolution,” it was only a few years into the station’s existence when programmers first began tweaking its format. I interviewed McGrath in 1996 when his book was published, and I recall him explaining how the exact same thing that made kids love MTV in the ’80s was the same thing that made advertisers hate it: Channel-surfing. In the early days of MTV, if you didn’t like a video, so what? You changed the channel for three minutes and came back. Sometimes, you’d watch two or three videos in a row. Sometimes not. But you were always switching channels. In 1987, MTV found a solution. It premiered its
own game show, “Remote Control.” Viewers liked it. And for the first time, they were staying with MTV for a full 30 minutes. Over time, more and more shows were added such as “Beavis and Butt-head” and “The Real World.” Eventually, the only thing missing on “Music Television” was music. Today, of course, it’s even worse. Honestly, I don’t know how MTV can still hold its annual “Video Music Awards” when it doesn’t seem to play any music videos at all. But again, that’s nothing new. It’s been that way for a long time. The last time the network did something interesting with music was when it launched its “Unplugged” series. And that was about 20 years ago. Still, through this column, I’ll send a note of congratulations out to MTV this anniversary weekend. It changed my life for the better, and for a generation, it was a fun and important part of our youth. We did want our MTV. We wanted “Music Television.” And during the most formative years of our lives, we had it. Happy birthday. W

The center was founded in 1976 with the mission of working toward the elimination of domestic violence. This year, DVSC celebrates 35 years of service. A veteran administrator, Paula brought more than 20 years experience in the field of non-profit organizations. Prior to DVSC, Paula served as Director of Education for Greater Hazleton Health Alliance, a two-hospital healthcare system. In addition, she currently provides consulting services as administrator to Conyngham Valley SurgiCenter. Hobbies: Working out/weight lifting, target shooting, spending time with my nieces and nephews (12 of them!), driving my little red convertible, baking, watching mindless Lifetime TV and Food Network. Favorite quote: I just love Lou Holtz, many of his are so real to my life experiences. One of my favorites is “No one has ever drowned in sweat.” But … my all-time favorite would have to be Elizabeth Taylor: “I fell off my pink cloud with a thud” — oh so true! Favorite thing about the area: Incredible ethnic foods and restaurants. Favorite movie: “The Godfather,” what else! One thing most people don’t know about me: Probably my quick wit and sense of humor. One thing I’ve always wanted to do: Own a Harley and ride … If your best friend were to describe you, what would he/she say? Some actual words from a girlfriend: “… her demeanor and attitude always convey a reassuring calm that helps identify order in a chaotic, crisis driven field. Paula radiates an elegance, style, strength and humor that make it a delight to spend time with her!” Community involvement: Currently serve on the American Heart Association Northeast Pa. Board of Directors and Heart Ball Committees. Through involvement with the Domestic Violence Service Center, I serve on the Membership of the Pa. Coalition Against Domestic Violence and various county task forces and advisory boards and committees to promote and advocate for safety, awareness and accountability in response to violence against women incidents and domestic violence victims and work to enhance service coordination and advance social change.

All of the performers are positive examples for clients of DVSC and for the community, and that list includes Kira Lee Krakovesky, Maria DuBiel, Shannon Marsyada, k8, Y.M.I., The Jeanne Zano Band, Phyllis Hopkins Band, Kriki and Ashes for Trees. “Our mission is to work toward the elimination of domestic violence … our goal is to provide options and resources to empower women to achieve a vio-
lence-free and self-sufficient life,” Dei Tos said. Getting out of an abusive environment is only the first step to success, and that’s why the DVSC offers a number of programs to help clients maintain self-sufficiency after they leave the shelter or the transitional housing, including “See Yourself Succeed,” which “assists clients in removing barriers to success through intensive case management, support and counseling,” Dei Tos said. Naturally, programs like that cost money. The majority of the funding for the DVSC is provided by federal, state and local sources, including local branches of the United Way. All of the proceeds from Women Who Rock will go toward the center’s efforts to provide a safe haven for the abused and eliminate domestic violence. “Almost every day is a success story because all the women here in the shelter and the bridge housing program are out of their unsafe and violent environments,” said Dei Tos. “So in essence, every woman and every day is its own success story.” W Women Who Rock, Thurs.

omestic violence is a concept that the luckiest of us can only imagine, thanks to dramas like “Law & Order: SVU” and the movie “Enough.” But for the women who are affected by it, it’s not a fictional realm that can be easily escaped, but rather a paralyzing reality that threatens their lives and the lives of the people they love. For those women, the Domestic Violence Service Center (DVSC) is the light at the end of the tunnel, offering respite from abuse, loneliness and fear. “The shelter saved me and my children’s lives, and it gave us a safe haven,” said a survivor of domestic violence and former client of DVSC who wishes to remain anonymous. “(I had) a lot of support from the staff, who gave me a lot of the strength that I have today. It did save my life in many ways.” To continue providing that assistance to others, and to raise awareness about the issue of domestic violence and the center itself, the DVSC, a United Way member agency, and the Weekender are teaming up to host the sixth annual Women Who Rock event Thursday, July 28 at 5:30 p.m. at the River Street Jazz Cafe in Plains Twp. Last year, the DVSC provided services to more than 2,000 victims of domestic violence and emergency shelter to 244 women and children in Luzerne and Carbon counties. Although supportive and direct services, like 24-hour hotlines, an emergency shelter for women and children and a transitional housing program, have been offered by the DVSC for 35 years, Development Director Nina Dei Tos pointed out that the need for

Don't hail this 'Captain' “
Captain America: The First Avenger” is the kind of big, flashy movie Hollywood is known for, which is why so many people will flock to it. And why so many people will hate it. It’s the height of World War II and Brooklyn’s own Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) wants nothing more to than to fight for his country. Puny and armed with an array of medical conditions that practically requires a live-in physician, Rogers — who tries different recruitment offices and different aliases — can’t make the cut. “I’m saving your life,” Rogers is told by a doctor after another rejection.
The despair grows when Rogers’s best friend, Bucky (Sebastian Stan), heeds the call to duty, prompting a visit to one more recruitment office. This time, though, Steve finds support. Overhearing the plucky runt’s plight, the brilliant Dr. Erskine (Stanley Tucci), who’s working with the military, puts Rogers in the army. Sort of. Erskine believes Steve’s determination and kind heart make him the ideal candidate for his project to create a genetically advanced breed of super soldiers. Rogers proves his mettle at boot camp, where he meets the feisty and gorgeous Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell, providing

some much-needed adult heat) and the unimpressed Col. Phillips (Tommy Lee Jones). After undergoing the hunky transformation into Captain America and enduring a few detours, the lab-created hero must stop the deranged, facially challenged Red Skull (Hugo Weaving) from wiping out mankind. Of course, “Captain America,” which sets the table for next summer’s “The Avengers,” offers the usual big-budget, high-concept goodies. What’s so aggravating is that director Joe Johnston (“The Wolfman”) shows no desire to do better. The movie entertains us out of sheer obligation, knocking off items from the blockbuster checklist with cold efficiency. Hunky leading man? Check. Snappy one-liners? Check. Gruff, initially doubting superior who comes to trust our hero? ‘Check. The best blockbusters offer more. Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” presented a version of The Joker that was so unhinged that the movie rattled your soul. “Iron Man” featured Robert Downey Jr.’s aloof cheekiness. J.J. Abrams resurrected “Star Trek” by doing things his own way with a low-profile cast. As anyone who endured the sluggish “Wolfman” can attest, Johnston isn’t a guy who rattles cages. He’s a blandly competent filmmaker. That adequacy spreads throughout “Cap-

Chris Evans is ‘Captain America: The First Avenger.’ tain America” like the flu through an elementary school. There are no memorable lines, no action scenes you’ll excitedly describe to your friends. For a movie that fashions itself a gee-whiz spectacle, “Captain America” is annoyingly hohum, beginning with a one-note title character rendered flavorless by the script. We don’t see Steve coming to terms with his new powers or his piping-hot sex appeal. Casting Evans,
essentially a slab of beef with eyebrows, in the lead assures us that we never have to read between the lines. “Captain America” is serviceable. That’s fine for Saturday matinees with the kids, but not event movies. After all, isn’t the point to make things bigger and better and bolder? “Captain America” is a mildly entertaining waste of money. It doesn’t go big. You should stay home.

Brad Paisley brought his ‘H2O II Tour’ to Toyota Pavilion Friday, July 22.
Paisley's Friday night lights R E V I E W
By Stephanie DeBalko
Weekender Staff Writer
SCRANTON — When vendors at a concert start handing out free ice cubes with the purchase of a Powerade, it’s a sure sign that the weather is pretty brutal. But there’s something
about joint discomfort that really brings a crowd together — well, joint discomfort and country music. And when Brad Paisley brought his “H2O II: Wetter & Wilder World Tour” to the Toyota
Pavilion at Montage Mountain Friday, July 22, the only things more unbelievable than the sweltering conditions were his guitar skills and ability to pump up people in a crowd on the verge of heat stroke. Paisley started the show by fooling the audience into thinking he was onstage by using a holographic image, and then popped up in the crowd with a peppy performance of “Mud On The Tires.” Decked out in a Tshirt flaunting the phrase “That’s what she said,” the country star launched into the hits “Welcome to the Future,” “Ticks” and “Working On A Tan” before greeting the audience with, “What a night for a concert — we’re not afraid of a little heat!” The sentimental “She’s Everything” was followed by a video intro starring Jimmy Kimmel and a puppet version of Paisley with a giant head, the perfect segue for “Celebrity.” Opening act Blake Shelton, at whom Paisley playfully poked fun all evening, joined him onstage for “Don’t Drink the Water.” “I’m Still a Guy” began with a pleasantly surprising blues riff, and the songs “Waitin’ On A Woman” and “When I Get Where I’m Going” were heartfelt
tributes to both Andy Griffith (who starred in the video for the former) and a number of deceased celebrities and those who were lost on 9/11. Paisley showed off his unparalleled guitar maneuvers on “The World” before walking through the crowd to a stage in the back of the seating area to perform acoustic versions of “Letter to Me,” “Little Moments” and “Anything Like Me.” A video in the style of traditional western movies starring Paisley and his band was shown, with them playing the soundtrack music, before launching into an edgy version of Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues.” Paisley ended the evening with an encore, performing “Alcohol” while his opening acts grabbed drinks from a makeshift bar on stage. The fact that he used a Miller Lite bottle as a slide on his guitar perfectly summed up just how phenomenal and fun Paisley is as a live performer. Opening acts Jerrod Niemann and Blake Shelton held their own against such a solid main act, performing with such ferocity and energy that it would not be surprising to see either one headlining a tour in the near future.

Not your momma's flea market
Think Big! is one of the bands that’ll perform at the Punk Rock Flea Market Saturday.
By Jourdaine Middleton Weekender Intern
PAGE 50
A
t 16, Stephanie Ogozaly went to her first punkrock show at the late Cafe Metropolis, a recently closed-down all-ages venue in Wilkes-Barre. After she was invited by friends and attended the show on a whim, unsure of who the bands were or what she was getting herself into, Ogozaly left the venue later that night with newfound interest toward the balls-tothe-wall genre. “Somebody got punched in the face,” Ogozaly said, laughing as she recalled her first concert. “And these girls were fighting, but you know, I really liked it. I just kept going to (Cafe Metropolis), and that was my outlet.” As a music director at WFTE-FM 90.3/105.7, Ogozaly has helped the radio station organize several events, and jumped at the opportunity to set up her own public attraction. Drawing out her interest in punk-rock music and inspired by the popular punkrock flea market in Philadelphia and other similar events across the country, she decided to introduce the idea to the Scranton area. The Scranton Punk-Rock Flea Market, which will be held July 30 at 10 a.m. in the
WFTE parking lot in Scranton, is exactly what the title suggests. It’s a flea market where people can set up tables to sell their things, and it’s a concert featuring four local punk acts. “(The bands) are not like hardcore-punk bands. They’re not scary, I guess,” said Ogozaly. “We took the kind of punk-rock attitude of ‘there’s something for everybody,’ so we have a wide assortment of things.” The musical acts chosen for the flea market are local bands that have submitted tracks to WTFE-FM in the past. After giving the bands a listen and checking each group’s availability, Ogozaly made the final decision to recruit Think Big!, Down to Six, Call Me Out and Down a Lifetime. Down to Six is a punk-rock trio from Wilkes-Barre. After being in several bands in the past, vocalist and guitarist John Novak picked out the “best kids” out of his previous musical projects, landing him with bassist Garrett Konecke and drummer Cody Klein. Down to Six’s sound is inspired by bands such as The Clash, Rancid, Stray Cats and more, while Novak’s childhood roots stem from assorted Rockabilly, The Beatles and more. Down to Six, which will be playing at 4 p.m. at the flea market, doesn’t be-
lieve in sugarcoating its music and prefers to get straight to the point with its listeners through quick, hard-hitting melodies. “There are a lot of bands today and a lot of bands in the past that have a lot of cheese to it,” said Novak. “(Our inspirations) were the bands that we found are more straightforward, not a lot of bullshit.” In addition to the live entertainment, there will be more than 20 vendors at the flea market, with an assortment of items available to the public. From CD and record collections to vintage clothing, homemade crafts and “treasures in your garage,” Ogozaly says that the flea market needs more people and encourages others to set up lastminute tables for a $10 vendor fee. The punk-rock flea market will test the Scranton waters this weekend, and Ogozaly hopes that it will draw enough attention to become a reoccurring event. “I’d like to do it every summer, if possible,” said Ogozaly. “That’d be a goal.” W

stage Sexy laughs make up 'Desires' By Jonathan Perez Weekender Intern
Some of the cast members of ‘My Husband’s Wild Desires.’ take-charge kind of guy,” who — through the trials of living out his fantasies — eventually sports a dress, which “is where it gets ridiculous,” Beleski said. The husband goes by the name of Mr. Griffin, who is played by Mike Lally. Beleski cast Lally because he is a strong-looking character, therefore, the director thought he was perfect for the role. Being that he was familiar with the majority of them, one of the easier tasks for Beleski was assembling his cast. “I think I have a pretty good cast,” Beleski said. “Each of the characters are strong stand-out characters.” Alicia Nordstrom, who plays Mrs. Griffin, was attracted to the role, and Beleski said she was a great fit. “Mrs. Griffin is a seductive kind of character, and I think Alicia can portray that very well.” Mr. Connelly, played by Joe Demura, is the superintendent of the building the Griffins live in, and he is dragged into one of the “fantasies” that the experimenting married couple attempts. David Giordano plays a burglar, who, also, is dragged into one of the “situations” the Griffins create. The last addition to the small cast of characters is
Mrs. Griffin’s sister, Louise, who is played by Gwen Gramer. Assembling the cast and set was simple, especially because the members of the cast were all excited to take part in the play; however, Beleski did have some difficulties with preparing the show. Rehearsals, although fun for the cast, were difficult to schedule. “All the actors are working, and it takes a lot of hours,” he said. According to Beleski, the actors have been enjoying all four weeks of rehearsals, and they’re ready to go. “If the audience has as much fun as the cast had, it will be a great evening for them,” he said. The “great evening” will include a series of mishaps, unexpected twists in the plot and a man clothed in a dress. “If they want to know why Mr. Griffin is in a dress, then they’ll have to come see the play.” W

exual fantasies, role changes and a man in a dress, these are all things that you may find on an episode of Jerry Springer. Instead, you can find them in an upcoming play, and not with one of those boring “Midsummer Night’s Dream” kind of plots either. On Friday and Saturday, July 29-30, and Aug. 5-6, the Phoenix Theatrics in Duryea will be presenting “My Husband’s Wild Desires.” The play is a slightly risque comedy about a married couple’s attempt to spice up their love life, and the several “ridiculous situations” that develop as a failure to do so. When explaining why he chose to run the script at Phoenix, theater director Chas Beleski thought the script was funny and would attract and entertain the audience. “I kind of caught myself laughing out loud,” Beleski said. “I showed it to my friends and they, too, found themselves laughing out loud. You chose something that will appeal to your audience.” Besides the ability to make him and his friends “laugh out loud,” Beleski also took the simplicity and practicality of assembling the play into account. The set consists of nothing more than a living room and, of course, a bedroom. “Considering the title, that’s self-explanatory,” Beleski said. The costumes for the cast aren’t any more complex than the set is. “There wouldn’t be any problem with the costumes,” he said. “We like to keep things simple. The burglar is dressed in black, the wife is dressed in seductive lingerie, and the husband is in a dress.” The husband is a “rough, gruff,

hen Demi Lovato said on “The Ralphie Radio Show” that “just about everybody in my phone book” reached out to her after the release of “Skyscraper,” she may have not been exaggerating. In an interview that aired Wednesday night on “The RRS,” Joe Jonas revealed he was one of those supporters. “I think (‘Skyscraper’) is great,” remarked Jonas. “I’m really happy for her, and it’s a great song, and I’m glad to see that she’s able to pull out those emotions in a song.” After a reference was made to Lovato’s aforementioned comment, Jonas acknowledged that he was also one of those people. It certainly speaks volumes Jonas took the time to listen to the song and reach out to Lovato. No, not just because the two once dated, but because the middle “Jonai” is a very busy guy these days. He’s knee-deep in a multimedia press tour to promote his new single, “See No More.” The track represents a departure from what you may have come to expect from The Jonas Brothers, and that’s no coincidence. Joe hit the studio with none other than Chris Brown to create the song. Brown co-wrote and provided backup vocals. “We were not originally going to write together, we were just playing each other music,” said Jonas of his initial studio encounter with Breezy. “The next day we got in the studio and wrote the song in like two hours or so.” Jonas found inspiration in Brown’s sound, and the Jonas brother feels that will be apparent when his album, “Fast Life,” hits stores Sept. 6.

BEHIND THE SCENES @ LIL WAYNE - The mood backstage was very mellow and low key in the afternoon and early evening. Despite requests from Lil Wayne’s management that all backstage interviews be complete by 6 p.m., I found myself leaving Keri Hilson’s dressing room almost at 6:30 p.m. Hilson is not just a perfectionist with her music, but with her look as well, working with her makeup artist and manager to ensure that she looked pristine and that the lighting and scenery in her small
JOE JONAS dressing room was perfect. She did, and it was. See it now at 97bht.com, keyword: Ralphie. - Staff backstage at Toyota Pavilion commented that security was just as tight as Wayne’s 2009 visit. If you recall, some workers told me back then that in their 10 plus years at the venue, they had never seen such a strong security detail. - Far East Movement was a little late to my interview backstage, and I suppose I could excuse them: I can’t tell you how many times I misjudged the length of that drive from WilkesBarre to Moosic. FEM stayed at The Woodlands Monday and Tuesday evening and took full advantage of some of the various amenities, including the Club Havana Deck Bar and the pool. - FEM wasn’t the only group of artists there … yes, Lil Wayne and the rest of Young Money spent their time in NEPA inside The Woodlands. Wayne checked in Monday evening, and was spotted Tuesday in The Woods’ parking lot working on his skateboarding skills. After the show, Weezy retreated to his room, where he allegedly worked on music until the wee hours of the morning. If you’ve seen “The Carter” documentary, then you know that in addition to mobile recording equipment on his tour bus, Weezy can literally set-up a studio in the middle of his hotel room and spit lines. I guess if we hear any reference to NEPA or he name-checks the Kornfeld’s on “Tha Carter IV,” we’ll have our confirmation. W Listen to The Ralphie Radio Show weeknights from 7 p.m.-midnight on 97 BHT.

Sounding off on scoliosis By Marie Burrell
Weekender Correspondent
M
usic makes us move — our bodies sway, feet following the beat. It touches our heart, excites our spirit. Even when we don’t know the song, it still can spur something inside, an energy that brings people together. But if the body isn’t healthy, how can we let the music move us? Back for the third year, Sound for Scoliosis will bring music and people together to raise awareness about the condition FridaySunday, July 29-31 at Heil’s Place in Dunmore. The event will not only feature a lineup of local musicians, but also food and drinks, guest speakers, screenings and a silent auction. Lucia Peregrim, organizer of Sound for Scoliosis and president of the Northeast Pennsylvania Chapter of the National Scoliosis Foundation, said she is looking forward to this year’s event as it is far bigger than the previous years, continues to raise awareness and will contribute to scoliosis research, having raised $10,000 last year in monetary and in-kind donations. “It’s a time for local musicians to get together and rock out for a good cause,” she said. “I want to put the awareness into the area, and this is a great way to do it.” Diagnosed with scoliosis at age 13, Peregrim knows firsthand
Lucia Peregrim, organizer of Sound for Scoliosis.
Performers at last year’s Sound for Scoliosis event.
“We’re really trying to create awareness, we’re really trying to create a sense of urgency.” Dr. Clayton Stitzel, guest speaker how the condition, which causes an abnormal curvature of the spine, can affect the life of someone who has it. Occurring more often in females, Peregrim said it can not only affect self-esteem and quality of life, but also lead to more severe health conditions later on. Helping to promote early prevention and detection, Dr. Clayton Stitzel of the Lancaster Spinal Health Center in Lititz, Pa., will be speaking Sunday about the importance of screening for the condition, as well as new treatments available to correct it. Having participated in last year’s event, Stitzel said when he first heard about Sound for Scoliosis he knew he had to take part as it is a very important topic that needed attention drawn to it. “This is something I have to support, this is something I need to be behind,” he said. “A lot of the same ideals, concepts, earlystage awareness and early-stage scoliosis intervention are along the same message I’m promoting. We’re really trying to create awareness, we’re really trying to create a sense of urgency. Screen your children, have a sense of urgency about it, be proactive. Small curves become big curves.” Peregrim said there will be free screenings during the day on Sunday provided by Dr. Jason
Yusavage of the Olyphant based Yusavage Family Chiropractic. She said that having these screenings available will increase the effort people make towards getting checked, and effort is very important to the cause. “Effort never dies,” she said “And that’s exactly what is behind Sound for Scoliosis.” Both Stitzel and Peregrim agree that it is important for people to pay attention to their body, and become involved in the effort to raise awareness about scoliosis. Peregrim said she hopes that people will come out to the event again this year and support everything those involved with Sound for Scoliosis have put together. “What else do you have that’s more important than being at the event and seeing what Sound for Scoliosis is all about?” she asked. “It’s rocking out for a good time and for a good cause that will hopefully make an impact in the near future.” W Sound for Scoliosis, July 2930, 4 p.m.-2 a.m., July 31 noon-2 a.m., Heil’s Place (1002 Wheeler Ave., Dunmore).

hen it comes to summer, most people love to think in bright colors and, in particular, even brighter clothing. But no color on the spectrum is more crisp, classic and fashionable than white. A favorite classic piece of mine is the white button-up blouse, a must-have piece in every closet that’s easy for dressing up and down, no matter what the occasion. Whether you wear it loose and tied up (like Britney Spears in her unforgettable “… Baby One More Time” music video) or choose to go for the freshly ironed, buttoned-up neat and professional look instead, it’s a versatile piece that you’ll end up wearing a lot more than you think. At the same time, though, whereas black is slimming, white does the opposite, so know your body type before buying. A white blouse is a good wardrobe staple to have, but like the little black dress, you need to

find the right one for you. Be choosy, and don’t be afraid to spend a little more on a timeless piece like this. You can’t go wrong with a white blouse with denim shorts, this is a classic simple look. But if you want to really show off that back-fromthe-beach summer tan, white on white is a hot summer trend that will flaunt your sun-kissed glow and always looks super put together. A word of caution though: Do not under any circumstances pair a white blouse with a black skirt or pants. This is a rookie mistake that will leave you looking like you don’t own any colorful clothes or, in the worst case, like a waitress caught in her uniform off-duty. If the white-onwhite look seems a little too plain for your taste, try adding a long statement necklace or bunch of bracelets. That extra pop of color, whether it’s in your accessories or your shoes, will really pull everything together. W PHOTO BY MATT HANNON

New fruits from Apple's tree
F
lush from the announcement of yet another record quarter of both sales and profits, Apple marked the launch of an array of new products last Wednesday, including the latest iteration of its OS 10 platform, version 10.7, also
known as Lion. Lion is, like the last few iterations of OS 10, a refinement on prior versions. It does include several completely new features — picture-in-picture view, a higher-resolution cursor, an improved address book, an up-
dated file transfer program called “AirDrop,” refinements to the “Facetime” app introduced with the iPhone 4, revisions to finder and added support for full-screen Apple Apps, including support for gesturebased navigation via track pad.
Additional improvements include Launchpad, which is a sort of landing page for Apple Apps, and the inclusion of the Mac App Store, allowing users to purchase Apps for their desktop or laptop Macs. Another new release from Apple is an updated MacBook Air, featuring Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, Thunderbolt ports, (Thunderbolt is a new cable and port setup that Apple and Intel have introduced that allows for connecting multiple devices with high-speed data transfer) and upgraded Bluetooth, webcams, Wi-Fi and much more. The base MacBook Air will weigh in at a very reasonable $999, while the highest-end model will cost you $1,599. Apple has also updated the Mac Mini, adding more powerful Intel processors, Thunderbolt ports, and a high-definition Radeon graphics card. The revised Mini’s more powerful
processors also feature TurboBoost for processor intensive applications. The Apple Mini begins at $599 and runs up to $999. Finally, Apple has introduced a 27-inch display that’s equipped with an HD webcam for Facetime, built-in speakers and Thunderbolt connectivity. The new monitor features 2560 x 1440 resolution, gigabit Ethernet ports and costs $999. Interestingly Apple has axed the standard MacBook from its laptop lineup, leaving users seeking an upgrade to choose between the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. All of these products should be available in Apple Stores and online now. W

he same weekend I awoke from a night of drinking in a trailer park to discover I was the new owner of a Chihuahua, the infamous Taco Bell dog that he resembled ironically passed away from syphilis or old age or something. I was determined to turn my dog into the next Taco Bell dog. In an attempt to socialize him so he’d be ready for a life of mega-stardom, I started taking him to the bar with me. Instead of turning him into a profitable TV star, I turned him into an alcoholic and a sex addict. They say dogs tend to act like their owners, and that was made apparent when my little Mexican Brody found a way to party on Cinco de Mayo that even put me to shame. He impregnated my mom’s cockapoo! “Justin!” my mother screamed from downstairs. When I got to the foot of the steps, she was screaming louder than a rape whistle. “Brody’s stuck in Stella,” she shouted, bent over trying to pull them apart. “Call 9-1-1,” she demanded. “I’m not calling 9-1-1 because my dog’s stuck in a cockapoo!” I shouted back. “Then call the vet!” she hollered, sweat dripping from her beet-red face. “Hi, umm … my dog is locked inside my other dog,” I told the receptionist who answered at the veterinary
clinic. “Is that normal?” “They put me on hold to ask,” I told my mother, who was still attempting to yank the two apart. “You should have said you were Bert’s son, they wouldn’t have put you on hold,” she insisted. “Mom, his name is Bert, not Beyonce. They’re not going to know him just by Bert over the phone!” I assured her. “We go there all the time, you asshole,” she frantically yelled. I walked away and started vicariously living through Kathy Lee Gifford as she was day-drinking on TV. A few hours later my mother told me she was going to make my summer miserable if Brody got Stella preggers. “What am I going to do with cocka-chi-wakka-ka’s or whatever the hell they’re called,” she cried, slamming her bedroom door, where she locked herself for the rest of the day! 63 days later, two cockachi-wakka-ka’s or whatever the hell they’re called, were born.

WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 2011
By Caeriel Crestin
Weekender Correspondent LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Just because you now have serious bargaining leverage doesn’t mean you necessarily have to (or should) use it. In fact, the classier way to go is to not mention it at all. Oh, it’s on the table — there’s not much anyone can do about that. But by not overtly and explicitly involving it in whatever negotiations you’re having, you’re taking the high road and allowing things to play out in a way that’ll hopefully lead to a resolution that’s satisfactory to everyone, not just you. Ultimately, that’s the better end result, even if you personally don’t get the absolute best deal you might have. Trust me on this. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Discrimination happens all the time. Unfortunately, no one’s figured out how to rid the world of prejudice and bigotry in one fell swoop. So far, the best way to do so is one person at a time, usually through personal interaction. Surprising people out of their unfair assumptions, while timeconsuming and occasionally difficult, is satisfying and obviously in your best interest right now; therefore, make sure you give it the proper amount of attention this week. You’ll have numerous opportunities to enlighten and/or slap awake people who are in desperate need of it. Seize them, please. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) I’m almost certain your suspicions about someone you love are, if not totally unfounded, mostly false. However, living with your paranoia can’t be fun, nor healthy, so finding a way to resolve it should be your priority this week. Hopefully, a respectful, open conversation is possible, because that’d be the best way to figure out what’s really going on, and certainly cheaper and easier than some of the alternatives (like hiring a private investigator). However, if you really can’t see swinging that frank exchange (or won’t buy what’s said regardless) you may have to go another route. Ultimately, do what you must to get over this, now.
things around so you have time, money, or energy for a new activity. For the sake of your mental and emotional health, don’t be lazy; get on it. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Guilt isn’t often a useful emotion. That’s not to say you should try to ignore it when it happens — it’s probably conveying fairly valuable information. However, dwelling on it isn’t helping anyone. Here’s what you should get out of guilt: “Shit, I should never do anything like that again; meanwhile, what can I do to fix the situation?” Once you’ve addressed that basic thought, move on and let it go. Beyond that, it’s not doing anyone any good. In other words, don’t wallow. Action is the only panacea when you feel the way you do. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) There are people (I call them trolls) who enjoy nothing more than lurking about, waiting for opportunities to stir up shit. They goad people into episodes of anger, bouts of frustration, and fits of crying, apparently for no other reason than they seem to enjoy seeing it happen. Often, they’re very good at finding ways to get people to engage with their bullshit, employing multiple strategies; if one doesn’t work, they’ll try another. Unfortunately, there’s no winning here: Even if they’re “wrong” and you’re “right;” that’s just not the point. The only viable strategy is walking away without giving them a drop of energy, which is often very hard to do. Nevertheless, you should try. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
So the utopian fantasy you dreamed about didn’t pan out (guess what: They never do). Forget your disappointment and disillusionment for a second, and especially try to ignore that “grass is always greener” thing, which is sure to crop up right around now. The truth is, everything looks shinier from a distance; once you get close up, you see all the flaws, inconsistencies, and problems. The ones here may indeed prove to be too much to accept. But before you conclude that for sure, take another look, and remember that it’s probably this bad (or worse) anywhere else, and ask yourself: Is this something you could, on second thought, learn to live with? PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Vacations (or the ever more popular “stay-cations”) should be departures from ordinary life. It’s especially important for you Fish to shake things up periodically and experience radically different versions of reality, so you don’t get stuck in one particular aspect of your infinite self. The next chance you have, make sure you get out there and have an adventure of some type (interpret this as creatively as you wish). Consider it a vacation from any rut you’re stuck in (or might be, soon). That’s more important than ever, so don’t postpone it any longer than you have to. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Gloating when life is fantastic is a sure way to jinx it. That’s not to say you shouldn’t notice and appreciate when things are going well; you should, or you’ll be miserable when they take a turn for the worse (which they will, sooner or later).
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Every relationship — particularly marriage — is an agreement between two people. The problem is, so often the terms of that agreement aren’t explicitly laid out. It’s not romantic to discuss some of this stuff! However, when people assume they’re on the same page, it leads to unpleasant surprises (and the high divorce rate). Unconditional love is great in theory, but in practice, the kind of sacrifices and concessions serious relationships require deserve some payback — both people have to be getting something valuable out of it. Making sure you will, before you sign the papers, buy the ring, etc, just makes sense to me. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Here’s what often happens when the “right thing to do” is something unpleasant; people go around asking for advice on the situation … and asking … and asking until they find the words that will let them rationalize doing what they actually want to do. This is cheap. Don’t do it. Doublechecking what you suspect is the case is fine; you might be wrong, after all. But once you get confirmation, don’t keep getting second, third and thirteenth opinions until you find one that jives with what you secretly want to do. If you want to do the wrong thing, maybe you should, but own it and make sure you can live with having done it — before you actually go there. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) The recession has forced unpleasant choices on almost everyone, but what it shouldn’t do is put a serious hitch in your romantic life. Moving in prematurely (or continuing to live with your ex) for economic reasons is a bad idea no matter what, for example. You need to find ways to separate out your economic reality from your emotional one. It’s perfectly possible to be happy (and/or in love) and be poor as dirt; it just requires being a little more creative and resourceful than those who can afford endless floral bouquets and dinners in fancy restaurants.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Denying your dark or negative feelings will probably only make them stronger, more pervasive and relentless. Therefore, don’t. However, dwelling on them is equally unlikely to help matters. Instead of trying to shut out the darkness (which, perversely, is part of your strength), simply attempt to inject more light into your life. Get involved in something that will counter, in some way, your own internal negative forces. This may involve shuffling

I’m just saying parading your (momentarily) near-perfect life around is only going to make people resent you and hope pianos fall on your head. Instead, use this chance to be even more present, available and wonderful for those whose lives aren’t in such great shape. In other words, spread the joy instead of merely putting it on display; it’s the best way to make it last.
