HOLY COW London Fashion Week usually brings forth a shock or two from cutting-edge designers, but a September creation by Rachel Freire might have raised the bar: A floor-length dress made from 3,000 cow nipples (designed to resemble roses). Initial disgust for the garment centered on implied animal abuse, but Freire deflected that issue by pointing out that the nipples had been discarded by a tannery and that her use amounted to “recycling.” The 32-year-old Freire, who has worked with mainstream entertainers such as Christina Aguilera, was kept so busy with the animal-abuse angle that she was largely spared having to explain another issue: Why anyone would want to wear a dress made with cow nipples. THE ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT! -- The world’s real economy may be flagging, but not necessarily the make-believe economy of online multiplayer games, according to reporting by The Wall Street Journal (July) and the website Singularity Hub (August). For example, entrepreneur Ailin Graef’s Anshe Chung Studios is worth “millions” of real U.S. dollars, earned mostly by managing rentals of make-believe real estate and brokering make-believe money transactions in the game “Second Life.” Graef also commands top (real) dollar for her designs of make-believe fashions for players’ game characters (avatars). Two other companies are suing each other in federal court in San Francisco over the copyright to their lucrative business models of creating makebelieve animals (horses, rabbits) that sell very well to players who take them on as game pets for their characters or breed them to make other make-believe animals. WEIRD SCIENCE -- Artificial meat (grown in a test tube from animal stem cells) has been theoretically planned for about 10 years, but a European Science Foundation audience in September heard predictions that lab-grown sausage might be available as soon as next year. The meat is produced in sheets (“shmeat”) and would be prohib-
Death is big business in Japan, with 1.2 million people a year passing away and overtaxing the country’s cemeteries and crematoriums. With the average wait for disposal at least several days, and space running short in funeral homes, “corpse hotels” have opened in many cities, with climate-controlled “guest rooms” renting for the equivalent of about $155 a night, with viewing rooms where relatives can visit the bodies daily until cremation is available. itively expensive at first, in that the largest specimen produced so far measures only about one inch long and a third of an inch wide. The biggest drawback facing artificial muscle tissue: That even lab-grown muscles require exercise to prevent atrophy. -- Recent Alarming Headlines: (1) “Miami Invaded by Giant, House-Eating Snails” (up-to-10inch-long snails that attach to, and slowly gnaw on, stucco walls). (2) “Scientists Develop Blood Swimming ‘Microspiders’ to Heal Injuries, Deliver Drugs” (spiderlike “machines,” made of gold and silica, smaller than a red blood cell yet which can travel through veins carrying drugs and be directionally controlled by researchers). LEADING ECONOMIC INDICATORS Turned down once before, liquor manufacturer EFAG convinced Germany’s Federal Patent Court in September to award trademark protection to its schnapps with the brand name Ficken, which in German translates directly into what in English is known as the F word. The court acknowledged that the name is unquestionably in poor taste but is not “sexually discriminatory” and does not violate public morals. In fact, the court noted, the word is widely used in Germany. (In March 2010, the European Union trademarks authority granted a German brewery the right to call its beer “F--king Hell” — the first word of which is the actual name of an Austrian village and the second a German word referring to light ale.) DMV IS A DANGEROUS PLACE (1) The Department of Motor
Vehicles office in Roseville, Calif., was closed for a week in July after a driving school student crashed into the building and left a five-foot hole in the wall. (2) A young man taking a test at the drivers’ center in Brisbane, Australia, in August lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a bench outside the building, hitting his mother, who was waiting for him. (3) A 56-year-old DMV driving tester was killed in July when the woman she was evaluating ran off the road in Williamsburg, Va., and struck a tree. PEOPLE WITH ISSUES In October, a court in Ottawa, Ontario, sentenced pornography collector Richard Osborn, 46, to a year in jail on several charges, but dismissed the more serious child porn counts. Judge Robert Fournier ruled that Osborn’s hard-core images of Bart and Lisa Simpson and Milhouse were not illegal, on the grounds that he could not be sure of the characters’ ages. (Baby Maggie Simpson was depicted, but she was not involved in sex.) Judge Fournier was clearly exasperated at Osborn’s perversions, among them his homemade video of swimsuit-clad youngsters, interspersed with shots of Osborn himself masturbating, aided by a Cabbage Patch doll whose mouth had been cut open. At one point, a disgusted Judge Fournier cut off the presentation of evidence. “Enough,” he said. “We are not paid by the taxpayers to sit here and torture ourselves.” W Handy Addresses: NewsoftheWeird.blogspot.com, WeirdUniverse.net, WeirdNews@earthlink.net, NewsoftheWeird.com and P.O.

Get your scream on
here’s nothing like getting a good scare for Halloween, which is why a trip to your local haunted house or hayride is a must. If you’re looking for something a little more interactive, something that really pulls you into the story, look no further than Gravestone Manor in Plains Twp., which is called a “theatrical haunted house” by its volunteers. “Most are a self-guided tour or maze,” said Cory Brin, the assistant project coordinator for this United Way of Wyoming Valley fundraising attraction. “This is a guided tour, and each room has something different, its own theme. We can scare you without the chainsaws.” The thing about haunted attractions is that even though ghastly creatures are jumping out of every corner, deep down you know they aren’t real. But what if there was a place where ghosts might exist? Enter the Scranton Cultural Center. Tales of the SCC’s hauntings have circulated for years, and the paranormal experts are coming for proof. The Society of Paranormal Research and Investigation (S.P.R.I) are providing tours on Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 24-25, allowing participants to use ghost-hunting equipment and learn investigative techniques. “S.P.R.I. has unbelievable equipment, one piece more impressive than the next,” said Stefanie Bush, patron and educational outreach manager at the SCC. “What’s great about the group is that they are experts on architecture, building structure … so they use a scientific approach and know when a piece of evidence is tainted.”
WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2011
Finding your inner animal, superhero and zombie are among this year’s hottest Halloween costumes. Why watch “Ghost Hunters” when you can live it? Paranormal groups have become frequent visitors of the SCC, but has authentic spiritual activity been discovered? “There are some amazing finds and one … is quite scary,” Bush said. “That’s all I can say for now …” The center will also be home to “Mystery at the Masonic,” an old-fashioned murder mystery on Sunday, Oct. 30, which will be a night of anarchy as guests travel room to room questioning the suspects to figure out who’s the murderer. “What makes this event so unique is it’s extremely interactive,” explained Marketing Coordinator Amy Dickerson. “The guests are part of the evening in a ‘Clue’-like guessing game. The night begins with appetizers and drinks, and when guests least expect it, a murder happens!”

Play dress up
alloween wouldn’t be complete without a kick-ass costume. It’s the one night of the year where living in a fantasy is not only accepted, but embraced. With 40 percent of adults dressing in costumes, it is essential to go all out with an outlandish
and memorable costume that’s the talk of the party. Halloween is a specialty of national retail chain Party City, which unveiled the top trends this year. A popular theme — not just for costumes but also decor — is zombies. The zombie craze has spread since AMC’s “The Walking Dead” became a hit, and therefore has brought about a multitude of zombie couture. Rock the gore as a “putrid prom queen” or a “comatose doctor.” For women, short, tight and revealing certainly come into play. Designing your own costume by mixing tight corsets with short petticoats and masks is huge this season, transforming women into zebras, peacocks, kittens and more. For men, it’s all about superheroes. Expect to see characters from this year’s comic-book blockbusters like “Captain America” and “The Green Lantern” at your Halloween soiree. Even though Halloween falls on a Monday, don’t let it stop you from dressing up, cutting loose and having a blast. So, NEPA, what’s it going to be: A trick or a treat? W SEE PARANORMAL P. 16

It’s just amazing how some of the technology can really bring this up to light.” Separating real from fake is what draws these three investigators in, and during Evans’ presentation, he will explain their gear and display some findings, including an EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) from near that Monroe County spot of an American Indian issuing a warning about a bad spirit nearby in his native tongue, which APGR had decoded by an American Indian dialect expert. Sending the recording out to an expert is only part of the APRG’s extensive work because “we want stuff that’s irrefutable,” Sinclair said. “I’d put my group up against any group on TV,” Evans said. “And we like to get the (paranormal) groups in the area together for a conference.” W

Red finds itself
inding one’s true identity is one of the most difficult, complex feats in a person’s life. People are sometimes haunted by what they see in the mirror because they don’t fully understand who they are looking at. The pursuit of one’s identity often takes a turn into the world of music, poetry or other art forms, and Red has traveled this road, returning with a new album that’s in perfect symmetry with the path to selfdiscovery. The band’s latest album, “Until We Have Faces” was inspired by the powerful writings of C.S. Lewis. The album doesn’t divulge into Greek mythology like Lewis’ “Till We Have Faces,” but it does present a modern take on the inner crisis of finding oneself through some intense rock ’n’ roll, which the band is bringing to Eleanor Rigby’s in Jermyn Friday, Oct. 21. “The band came up with the concept collectively — we often dive into different authors and poets,” said guitarist Anthony Armstrong. “There was a passage in the book we loved about how a human can’t receive a message from a divine being until they know who they are. So it’s about finding identity, discovering your true self.” Being its third studio album, Red had a solid idea of what type of music it wanted to create and a clear direction the album would head in. The desire to
“Giving kids a chance to throw their fist in the air and say, ‘This is who I’m going to be, no matter what the world says,’ is what we wanted to do. We are here to inspire as creators of music.” Red guitarist Anthony Armstrong
help a culture of lost youth find their identities drove this album. “It stands to be an overwhelming empowerment record,” Armstrong began. “A lot of kids are lost in the mix and they don’t have a clue what they are supposed to be doing. Strengthening that identity we hold on to, giving kids a chance to throw their fist in the air and say, ‘This is who I’m going to be, no matter what the world says,’ is what we wanted to do. We are here to inspire as creators of music.” Red — which also features Michael Barnes, Randy Armstrong and Joe Rickard — has strived to create music that inspires the masses and is often labeled as a Christian-rock band and a modern-rock band. “What sets us apart is we can do both markets and be a part of both scenes,” said Armstrong. “We don’t support some things rock bands do just to have a good time. Everybody’s got their thing though, and if you do it well, you can’t frown on any-
one.” Theatricality is a major part of Red’s concerts — it’s all about the lights, the music and the passion that is ever present each time the band steps on stage. “We are very aggressive and packed with energy, we wear people out,” Armstrong said. “We just want to make sure that when people walk away, they can talk about it for weeks. “You have to bring it more with a live show. Three of us are from PA, so it’s always cool to come back to the area. People up there like rock music, and that’s why we keep coming back. We look forward to a great crowd and experience.” W

Special to the Weekender
Time for the Rhyme?
W
hen I first saw the HTC Rhyme, I thought, “Well, this is different.” What gave me pause, at first, was the color. If I wanted to wax poetic, I’d describe the Rhyme’s color as tyrian red (most people would call it purple). I was relieved to find that it was also available in white and blue. The Rhyme is not your standard HTC fare. For one, the case, while outwardly resembling most other HTC devices, gives more attention to esthetics, and it’s extremely solid as well, without being
heavy. When I turned it on, I was also struck by the interface. It’s a bit of a departure from HTC’s standard Sense interface, with updated effects and a new home screen layout. I like the existing interface, but what I saw on the Rhyme was less overwhelming, while still being straightforward. Another unique feature is the dock. Most phones don’t just come with a docking cradle anymore. The Rhyme does, and it’s not just any dock: It acts as an external speaker set as well. It sits the
phone at an angle, so the display is easy to see if it’s set on a desk or nightstand. I was surprised to discover that the Rhyme is a 3G-only phone. Most of Verizon’s new offerings take advantage of the 4G capabilities of its network. The Rhyme also has a 5 megapixel camera, instead of HTC’s usual (of late) 8 megapixel offering, but I did notice that it’s significantly faster than the 8 megapixel camera — almost instantaneous, in fact. Hit the button, and you’ve got a picture, just like that. Another interesting feature:
There’s an attachable call indicator. It lights up if you get a phone call or a text message. The fact that the indicator is referred to as a Charm, coupled with the marketing that’s gone on around this device, makes me think this phone is directly aimed at a younger, female demographic. Marketing aside, the HeTC Rhyme represents an innovative and extremely solid entry, even if it is limited to 3G. Many people won’t notice the difference. I would have the price a touch lower, given the camera and the network speed,

Despite a smaller pixel camera and its network speed, the HTC Rhyme might be worth looking into, thanks to some of its accessories.

ure, “it was a really, really messed-up week” for Hot Chelle Rae, per the opening of “Tonight Tonight.” But since that single climbed to the top of the charts, it’s also been a really, really great year for the Nashville-based quartet. “Dude, I’m absolutely loving it, every minute,” guitarist Nash Overstreet told me on “The Ralphie Radio Show.” Overstreet checked in from Charlotte, N.C. where HCR was supporting The Script on tour. “We’re really, really busy, busier than we’ve ever been. But I would definitely not have it any other way.” In addition to touring and making the media rounds, the guys have been busy finalizing “Whatever,” the band’s sophomore LP, which hits stores Tuesday, Nov. 29. “They show up knowing all the words to everything,” Overstreet said of the crowds they’ve been experiencing on tour thus far. Apparently, HCR’s fans even know the lyrics to unreleased tracks. “It’s just really amazing to us to see people being so up to date on what we do.” As of this moment, there may be no better example to support that notion than the number of views HCR’s “I Like It Like That” video has. The single eclipsed the million-views mark weeks quicker than it took “Tonight Tonight” to surpass it. Nash revealed the band shot the video themselves while touring with a bus, as opposed to a van, for the first time. V V BROWN TALKS ‘LOLLIPOPS & POLITICS’ It is quite ironic that V V Brown sampled “Do Your Ears Hang Low?” for her song “Children,” the first single from her new album, “Lollipops & Politics.” The irony did not get past the singer. “When we were making this
song, I was outside, and I heard an ice cream truck go by,” explained Brown while visiting “The RRS.” “I just sampled (the song) on my iPhone. I wanted to talk about the youth and politics, generation, in a pop, sort of culture way.” But then Brown did a little research on “Do Your Ears Hang Low?” and found out that the children’s song was derived from an old military tune that soldiers would sing, “Do Your Balls Hang Low?” You can’t combine lollipops and politics much more than that. In typical V V fashion, the sample heard in the final version of “Children” is the actual recording of the ice cream truck from her iPhone. On Brown’s debut, “Traveling Like the Light,” all of the vocals used for the album were taken from demo cuts. The UK-born artist kept the same formula for her sophomore record. “Still the same kind of ‘rough’ thing,” Brown said of the recording process. “I believe that you capture magic when you’re in the moment.” It is staying in the moment, and not getting too consumed in it, that Brown is trying to teach herself to do more often on her second run in the U.S. Specifically, the singer is applying this mentality when performing on television, as she is conscious of not “overdoing it.” “We managed to do David Letterman and ‘Ellen,’” recalled Brown. “It made me realize that when you’re performing, you almost have to perform less for the TV, because if you do an extremely exaggerated performance and give it everything, it looks (like) too much when you watch it back.” W Listen to “The Ralphie Radio Show” weeknights from 7 p.m.-midnight on 97 BHT.

RATING: W
By Mike Sullivan
Weekender Correspondent
Mary Elizabeth Winstead as paleontologist Kate Lloyd in a scene from ‘The Thing.’
Miserably remade 'Thing'
S
imply even considering to remake John Carpenter’s “The Thing” requires balls: Huge, massive, dangerously swollen, ‘pleasesee-a-doctor’ balls. The kind that can’t be contained by underwear and need to be carried around on a silver platter by a pair of dwarves in tiny tuxedos because Carpenter’s “The Thing” isn’t the kind of film that can be easily improved upon or even replicated. A straight-forward remake isn’t going to work so, in effect, you need to take the concept into a totally new direction or just say, “Screw it” and turn the whole thing into a “Naked Gun”-style parody
movie. Dutch filmmaker Matthijs van Heijningen attempts neither with his bland and unasked for version of “The Thing.” Starting off with a sequence that recalls the opening of “The Thing from Another World,” a Norwegian expedition finds a wrecked spaceship and its alien pilot frozen in the Antarctic. From there, a group of American researchers led by paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead who, on one hand, it’s nice to see starring in a movie but on the other, isn’t exactly believable as a no-nonsense badass) is called in to assist with the discovery. What they find out is that the alien (or is it aliens?
The film is never clear about this) isn’t dead, but merely resting and slowly starts to take over the bodies of the various researchers (who for some reason or another all resemble Liam Neeson in an obscenely fake beard). With no obvious clues to separate the infected from the uninfected, the alien(s) could be anyone. Ostensibly a prequel to the 1982 original, the 2011 version of “The Thing” is, in reality, an indifferently lensed remake that makes very little effort to differentiate itself from its inspiration. And whenever it does attempt to step out of the shadows of its predecessor, it usually comes off as uninspired. For example, in Car-
penter’s movie, the test the characters used to discover the alien involved a jumping blood sample. The 2011 version of this scene basically amounts to Winstead shining flashlights into people’s mouths. “The Thing” lacks a distinct identity of its own, often falling into the same traps that have plagued many mediocre genre movies over the past 10 years. The characters are interchangeable and indistinguishable, there’s an abundance of fake scares that exist solely to get a cheap jolt from the audience and — in the most disappointing development — the aliens are all rendered in unconvincing CGI effects. Apart from the underdeveloped, illogical storyline (What exactly were the alien’s motivations? If he wanted to simply return to his spaceship,
why did he waste his time murdering all those people when he could’ve disguised himself as his first victim and escaped without anyone being the wiser?), the unappealing CGI effects are the most annoying aspect of the 2011 film and lack the gooey, organic realness of the prosthetic effects found in the original. But for all of its faults, “The Thing’s” greatest crime against cinema-nity lies in the fact that nobody from the 1982 version of “The Thing” appears in a brief cameo. Not Kurt Russell, not Wilford Brimley, not even the sassy black guy on roller skates. And really, if you’re not willing to throw the sassy, black guy on roller skates even the tiniest bone, then you deserve to be beaten by a Julianne Hough movie at the box office.
‘The Thing’ lacks inspiration and fails to make up for its shortcomings with unappealing special effects.

Local band Jakesway recently released its sophomore effort, ‘It May Get Loud.’
“Whatever hit us, whatever stuck, and whatever we could elaborate on, we just rolled with it.” Jakesway lead vocalist Gary Kaschak on the recording process
the group’s friend, William Kidder. Kaschak, who has a songwriting credit on nine of the album’s 12 tracks, says the inspiration for the music came from all places. “Spontaneity,” he says, when asked what served as a muse. “Whatever hit us, whatever stuck, and whatever we could elaborate on, we just rolled with it. With some songs, it was just what we felt at the moment.” Though the band’s members have other jobs, Kaschak says music has always been a huge part of their lives. “Music is the only hobby I have,” he says. “I don’t go fishing, I don’t think about hunting. I can’t sit in the car without having the radio on. And I can’t listen to a song without singing along or creating my own harmonies to it. I can’t see myself without having a guitar at the house.”
Jakesway names Crosby, Stills & Nash, The Smithereens and The Badlees as some of their favorites. In addition to original material, the band does covers by acts such as Foo Fighters, Kings of Leon, Green Day, Eve 6, Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox Twenty and Social Distortion. The group has performed at Jad’s in Pittston, Heil’s in Dunmore and Mert’s in Scranton. More recently, it’s been performing regularly at Wellington’s in Clarks Summit, where it’ll play Saturday, Oct. 22, and The Coach in Carbondale, where it’ll perform Saturday, Oct. 29. The new album is available at Gallery of Sound stores and Gallucci Music in Scranton and the band can be found on Facebook. “Jakesway and everyone involved are very excited about this project,” says Kaschak. “We hope people enjoy it.” W

t is said that a rolling stone gathers no moss. And neither, apparently, does the band Jakesway. Less than three years after forming, the group has already released its second CD, the appropriately titled “It May Get Loud.” And though the group’s lead vocalist, Gary Kaschak, says the band was pleased with its debut album, 2009’s “Catching Wakefield,” he feels the new record is a much more cohesive effort. “The first album was an accumulation of original songs written over different periods of time, different periods of life and different trains of thought,” he says. “This album is pretty much a moment in time, with songs written for the album. One train of thought led into a song, which led into another song. There was a period of about a month or so when we were just on fire, writing one song after another and bouncing things off of each other. And before you knew it, we had 12 songs.” Jakesway, based out of Carbondale/Scranton, also features Tom Herbert on drums and vocals, Ricky Burnett on guitar and vocals and Steve Kuna on bass and vocals. Former guitarist John Yanochik appears on the new CD and Annie Pagonis, a friend of the band, co-wrote several numbers. Kaschak says that while some tracks on the band’s first album offered a bit of country flair, the new CD also differs in that department. “This particular album has a little bit more of a rock edge to it,” he says. “The sound, from one song to another, sounds like the Jakesway sound. It’s definitely straightforward. It doesn’t jump around like the first album.” “It May Get Loud” was recorded at SI Studios in Old Forge and was produced by the band with Joe “Wiggy” Wegleski and Tom Borthwick. Tracks include “So Simple So True,” “Take It Back” — which was co-written by Wegleski for an independent film — and “You And Me,” which was written by

Williamsport-bred Candlelight Red gained notoriety in 2010 when it was chosen as the winner of a national contest and scored the opening spot for Kiss at one of its shows in Pittsburgh. Keeping that momentum going, Candlelight Red recently released its debut album, “The Wreckage,” and is carving a solid position for itself at the cusp of the rock and metal genres. “The Wreckage” opens with a brief instrumental intro, a tactic some musicians use with little success. But for Candlelight Red, it serves as a simple preamble to “The Dirt,” a punchy number with heavy guitar licks
and a pushy chorus. Both the opening and chorus on “Gone Forever” give it a contemporary edge, and its mainstream appeal paves the way for the rest of the record. Emerging midway through the album, the title track gives the listener the first taste of serious metal, with screaming vocals and cogent drumming. “Bend and Break” is brimming with vocally forceful overtures that are complemented by the tidy and tight guitar shreds, and its guitar solo, though short, is one of the best on the album. Though the vocal strength of lead singer Ryan Hoke is often buried within the layers of com-
Misfits “The Devil’s Rain” Rating: W W
Time to retire Just in time for Halloween, legendary punk rockers the Misfits has released its latest album, “The Devil’s Rain.” For the third time in the last decade, the former members are doing their best to continue to develop their own identity without former lead singer Glenn Danzig. His role in the group makes it too difficult not to compare the original lineup with the re-incarnated one, and the

latter falls woefully short once again. While the season may be right for things to rise from the grave, the Misfits are one thing that should have stayed put. The album opens with the lackluster title track, and then limps along through 15 more songs, most of which sound forced and uninspired, as though the band is writing music as a duty. A few tracks, such as “Land of the Dead,” “Cold in Hell,” and “Jack the Ripper” are somewhat listenable, with the occasional hook here and there, but the majority of the music on this album is fairly harsh and difficult to enjoy. “The Devil’s Rain,” along with all of the Misfits post-Danzig work, is a perfect example of how one person really can make or break a band. With Danzig in the group, it is one of the most legendary punk bands of all time, a little scary and pretty damned cool. However, without him, it is little more than a campy, cartoonish joke. While many fans look to the reformed band and wish that it would be good somehow, it just never really delivers, and continuing to put albums out under the Misfits name does nothing but ruin the band’s legacy. -- Michael Irwin Weekender Correspondent

A force to be reckoned with Nikki Lane’s journey took her from South Carolina to Los Angeles and to the corporate world of New York before she settled in Nashville after a breakup to make a living playing music and opening her vintage boutique, High Class Hillbilly. That journey helped shape her smashing debut “Walk of Shame,” on which Lane melds the ethereal vocals of Mazzy

Candlelight Red “The Wreckage” Star’s Hope Sandoval with the narrative lyrics and moxie of Loretta Lynn. The album gets a twangy start with the ambling “Lies.” The title track, about waking up in a stranger’s bed, has a jaunty bassline, crunchy guitar and prominent organ. “Looks like he’s starting to stir, I better be long gone,” Lane declares. “Coming Home To You,” which has pretty steel guitar, wouldn’t be out of place on classic-country radio while “Gone, Gone, Gone” will resonate with anyone who dreams of leaving their hometown for the great wide open. The swirling ballad “Sleep For You” precedes the boozy, old-school country album highlight, “Look Away.” On it, Lane suggests that her guardian angel “look away” because she “might take a ride with the devil tonight.” Lane’s pain is palpable on the searing “Save You” as she nearly wails, “How can I save you?” “Blue Star In The Sky,” with gorgeous piano throughout, twirls; a slight and chugging electric guitar just under the surface adds even more depth to this song about loneliness. “I Can’t Be Satisfied” is a rocking finish to this fantastic album. By not going the popular country-pop route, Lane is a rough-and-tumble breath of fresh air, one that could be from any era — but one whose sound is all her own. -- Nikki M. Mascali Weekender Editor

ALBUM REVIEWS
plex instrumentals, it makes a brief but pleasant advent on “Scream,” rounding out Candlelight Red’s appeal. That appeal is also evident on “She’s Got the Look,” a cover of the 1989 Roxette song “The Look” that closes the album. Rock renditions of past pop hits can either fly or flop, and with this version, the band does the former, offering a well-done remake that toes the line rather than crossing it. “The Wreckage” is a showcase of Candlelight Red’s greatest assets and serves as the perfect platform for introducing its unique blend of rock and progressive metal. The band offers a complete and capable collection of songs that are so tight, even a self-professed Britney Spears fan couldn’t deny the band’s delightfully dark talent.

ho is Barack Obama? Many people have trouble figuring out the complex personality of the U.S. president, so psychoanalyst Justin A. Frank decided he would try. Frank, a clinical professor of psychiatry at George Washington University Medical Center, studied Obama’s memoirs, interviews and biographies for clues to his psyche. His new book, “Obama on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President,” is sure to spur lively discussions. Frank assessed President George W. Bush’s mental health in his 2004 book, “Bush on the Couch,” and concluded that he was afflicted with megalomania. He sees Obama as an admirable man who is in excellent mental health, especially considering the challenges he faced in his formative childhood years. Still, Frank says, Obama hasn’t overcome some of these early challenges, and that is affecting
his presidency. Every infant, he explains, divides his new life experiences into two categories: All good and all bad with nothing in between. As he grows, the infant learns to integrate these divides and achieve internal unity. Frank says Obama went through this process, but is still struggling to integrate a blackand-white racial divide within himself. And that, the author says, is behind what he sees as the president’s relentless drive to “heal and unify” racial, cultural and political divides in the United States — even at the cost of his own agenda. Frank says sons are often taught how to recognize and handle aggression — both in themselves and in others — by their fathers. Obama wasn’t given that chance, and in Frank’s opinion, it resulted in his inability to stand up to his opponents. The author acknowledges there are limitations by not analyzing Obama in person, but defends the approach, saying Sigmund Freud analyzed Leonardo da Vinci, and the CIA analyzes foreign leaders to get a handle on their personalities. One thing is clear: President Obama makes a fascinating subject.
Frank sees Obama as an admirable man who is in excellent mental health, especially considering the challenges he faced in his formative childhood years.

Amanda’s Bitch: Why do stores even bother installing 20-plus checkout aisles if they aren’t ever going to open more than a couple at a time — even at their busiest? With the holidays fast approaching, I think I’m going to save myself some hours of standing in line waiting to check out, and do most of my shopping online. I often stop at Wal-Mart (out of pure convenience) before work to grab some things I need, and I end up waiting a solid 15 minutes in the 20-items-or-less line. Who’s in charge there, and why doesn’t something go off in their head when they see lines starting to form that are six carts deep and open another register? Now, with most stores like Wal-Mart also having a grocery department and many people doing their food shopping there, maybe there should be separate “grocery lanes” at these supercenters. Some of us don’t have carts full of $300 worth of food piled in our carts that take forever and a day to lug onto the conveyer belt. Something to think about, Wal-Mart! A selfcheck out would even be nice on those days when all you need is one item. The holidays are just around the corner, I beg you now: Please bring a few more employees on board,
and open more checkout lanes. I’ve been so tempted to just leave the store and abandon my full shopping cart after waiting far too long to reach the register. I just can’t do it, knowing someone will have to put it all back — and take another necessary body away from a register! Jeff’s Brag Halloween is an awesome holiday for adults! It doesn’t cost much (Christmas: Ugh), and it doesn’t take a Herculean effort to get ready for. (Thanksgiving: You really want to try to shop and cook for 18 people?) Most of all, Halloween is fun because it’s a time for the grownups to play “pretend.” It’s your chance to be whatever or whoever you want. How about a superhero with bulging muscles? Bam! You’re Superman! Wishing you could be Tom Brady? Strap on those shoulder pads and helmet! Have a fascination with the dark side? Well, this is your day! Pour on the blood, the gore, the open wounds — there’s no limit to how creepy you can be. In fact, creepiness is an attribute on Halloween. And for the ladies, well, let’s just say wow! It’s your free pass to let that “inner ho” out! It’s your chance to be every bit as skanky as Rihanna or Ke$ha
or Britney Spears without anyone passing judgment. Go ahead, be that naughty nurse, the skanky police girl with fuzzy handcuffs or the naughty fireman with thigh-high boots! (Oh, yeah!) And from a guy standpoint, it’s so much sexier to see a normally classy woman turn up the skank meter a few notches. It’s like the extra excitement of an amateur night at a strip club when a daring novice takes the floor. The place goes wild (or so I’m told). About the only thing that creeps me out on Halloween is the extremely large number of men that dress like women. Gross. I always assume there is some inner struggle going on inside their head. And please, don’t even get me started on the guys that dress as babies. I haven’t decided what I will be this year. In recent years, I’ve been an ’80s rocker, a bad plastic surgeon carrying around bloody breast implants, and last year, I was drenched in a gallon of blood wearing a gas mask.

Fall is the perfect time to embrace nature, especially when it comes to decorating, getting crafty and having some eco-friendly fun. newspaper for that matter, you can get crafty while recycling your newspaper. Paper mache is simple, and all it’s made out of is newspaper and paste made from flour and water. Balloons are a good design frame to use if you want to paper mache a shape of a pumpkin. One of the easiest ways to recycle around Halloween is to stop by your local Salvation Army to pick up items for your costume. Instead of buying something new that you’ll probably only wear once, it’s worth checking out gently used clothing to scavenge up something unique. Craftster.org has some great D-I-Y Halloween costume tips. If you don’t have a big budget for fall and Halloween décor, try to create things on your own. Not only will you save money, you’ll help the planet out a little and even have something hand made that you can be proud of! W

all is my favorite time of the year, and it’s also a great time to practice eco-friendly living. From decorations to family activities, there is lots to do and a variety of different ways to stay green. My first bit of advice is to use local ingredients when baking apple or pumpkin pies. I was able to pick organic apples with zero pesticides straight from my parents’ apple trees. Northeastern Pennsylvania has a lot of local pumpkin patches and apple orchards to choose from, and by choosing local, you can support your local economy. Roba Family Farms (RR 1 Box 247 Decker Road, Dalton) offers a fall festival from now until Halloween. There you will find a corn maze, pumpkin patch, hay rides, a farm animal center and even fall activities for the kids. Brace’s Orchard (444 Brace Road, Dallas) offers a variety of apples to pick from and even make fresh apple cider. Instead of buying fall decorations, try getting natural items like apples, pumpkins and Indian corn. You can use the Indian corn for a few years, and when fall comes to an end, you can use the apples and pumpkins for pies. Another great decoration is to gather leaves and foliage from around the neighborhood. You can use twigs, branches, nuts and leaves for tabletop decorations, or you can string them together for a natural garland. Mason jars, or just any regular jars, are a great decoration year round. For fall, you can fill them with LED lights, and by using wire, hang them in trees or around your porch. You can even paint jack-o’-lantern faces on them to change it up and stick to a Halloween theme. Once you’re finished reading the Weekender, or any

ately hid my tie by holding a piece of paper over it. When I noticed Kimmel wasn’t even looking my way at all, I settled down and stopped covering up my tie. Then, in the middle of sending a text message, I heard the words I will never forget: “So, when did you realize wearing that tie was a bad idea?” Kimmel asked from his desk as he stared right at me. “We’re not fancy here. I’m not even wearing shoes!” he added, placing his feet on his desk. Suddenly, all eyes were on me. Caught off guard, my faced turned red with embarrassment. Hoping not to attract so much attention to myself for what I was wearing, I decided to show up the next day dressed in casual summer clothes. Just when I thought I was clear of any jokes about what I was wearing, I noticed that the old Indian lady from craft services was wearing the same board shorts as me — and so did everybody else. W

hey say you never forget your “first.” I don’t necessarily think that’s true. Thanks to a fake ID and a roommate who always seemed to have a stash of crushed Adderall, I don’t remember my first semester of college. A “first” I will never forget, however, is the day I started interning at “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” “Go around and tell me what school you’re from,” asked one of the producers as the new interns were taking a tour of the set. “I go to NYU,” one announced. “I attend Brown University,” shared the next. “California University of Pennsylvania,” I followed. “I don’t even know what that means,” the puzzled producer hollered. Not only did I have to reveal what school I went to after the IvyLeaguer, but I was the only one who went to a school that sounded like it was made-up on the spot! I wasn’t about to let that get me down, though, because I was the only intern dressed to impress in a sweet-ass tie. Unbeknownst to me, that was about to bite me in the ass. “Don’t let Jimmy see you wearing that tie,” the producer informed me. At first I thought he was just messing around. But then, throughout the morning, a handful of people approached me with the same advice. I started to get nervous. Once the afternoon rolled by, the interns got to sit in the audience for the show’s rehearsal. When Kimmel made his entrance, I immedi-

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Very few people would want to taxidermy a well-loved house pet after it’s passed away. I wouldn’t have guessed you were one of these, and yet here you are, determined to stuff, mount and artificially preserve something you’d be better off burying or burning. Despite the temporary comfort this might bring you, it’s really just a (slightly disturbing) way to keep from moving on. Stop trying to keep this thing long past its sell by date, or soon you won’t have any room in your home, heart, or fridge — which means nothing fresh, new and wonderful will ever come in. Make space. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) You see things one way, but it’s not the only way. Imagine something simple and concrete, like a shiny red apple. A Biblethumper could view it as a symbol of the knowledge of good and evil or original sin. A dietician might call it an excellent source of fiber and nutrients. Someone of a more philosophical bent could claim it’s impossible to prove the apple even exists. See how all these different people, all purportedly referring to the same thing, would have entirely different conversations and tell completely different stories? Go ahead and seek some common ground — but if you don’t find it, don’t feel bad.
PAGE 54
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Ignoring the possibility of laser eye surgery, imagine you had to choose between blurry, error-prone vision or wearing thick, ugly glasses in order to see clearly. Ultimately, the real question is this: Which is more important to you — how you see the world, or how you’re seen by it? Being a blind, loveably naive fool may be charming, but perceiving the world clearly — even if it makes you cynical — is a power I don’t think you’d be happy without. Only you can decide which is more important to you right now, but decide you must; you can’t be both. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Although it goes against your stubborn nature, surrendering now may be your best bet. Ensuring that you “live to fight another day” is more important than this particular battle, especially if you’ve finally recognized that it’s not one you can win. Instead of struggling on anyway, retreat now so that you can find a more defensible position later. You’re good at seeing the big picture, so surely you see the wisdom of my advice. Take it. Winning this war overnight isn’t going to happen. If standing

firm here and now means you’ll be effectively crippled later, may I suggest rolling over, showing your belly and waiting for a better time and place to put up a real fight? AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Think of your relationships as chairs. Overload them with weight, and they’ll collapse. What kind of “chair” do you want? A rare antique may be indescribably beautiful, but will only survive in perfect conditions. Something made of wicker may be lightweight and flexible, but easily crushed by even slightly rough treatment. Something sturdy and utilitarian may not be as gorgeous, but will keep doing its job, even when left out in the rain. What kind of chair you end up with is at least partially up to you. Is it something you hope to keep enjoying in a decade or two or able to take a certain amount of hardship or simply as ephemeral and beautiful as a soap bubble? PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Going slow is lovely and all and probably generally a good idea, but sometimes the only way you’re going to get in at all is with a full-throttle cannonball dive off the side of the cliff. Wading in, in this case, is simply not an option. Therefore, you must either marshal your courage and dive in, willfully embracing the consequences (both good and bad) that result. If you can’t do that, stop even looking at the lake you’re not going to jump into. Step aside and make room for someone more willing to take the risk. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Ego may prevent some people from ever
kissing ass. Others have no problem with a little harmless (and swiftly forgotten) butt-smooching, if it’ll get them what they want. I’m not sure which category you’re in these days. Since a tiny bit of brownnosing is necessary to get what you want, you must weigh that against the sanctity of your pride. Which would you rather have? Personally, I think your self-respect would recover pretty quickly from your ass-kissing efforts, especially soothed by the satiation of your desires. However, you may prefer to cling to your unsullied dignity instead. Whichever you choose, pride or desire, let the other go. Try to hang onto both and you’ll just be miserable. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) I understand why you think your window of opportunity’s gone. After all, you sat on your hands and forlornly watched it split. Now that it’s over the horizon, I’m sure you’re kicking yourself and wishing you’d been brave enough to get on that train and see what happened next. Here’s some arguably great news: The train’s been delayed just around the bend. Start running now and you’ll be able to catch up and hop aboard. What are you waiting for? I’m not sure you can live with chickening out twice in a row. Go for what you want. Now. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Confidence is sexy, but acting like you shit golden eggs or speak with the voice of God has quite the opposite effect. You should be confident — but realistically so. Excessively tooting your own horn or generally trying too hard won’t impress
anyone, and will turn off most. Sure, being quiet about your awesomeness may mean you get overlooked this time. But if you do appear on someone’s radar, you’ll be that much more impressive and classier than the guy parading around in his one-manband get-up. Self-promotion has a time and place — this week simply isn’t it. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) I get the enduring appeal of a pretty face, massive wealth or celebrity. But don’t be blinded by them. If you want someone who’ll actually make you happy, you’ll need to practically ignore these flashy traits. Don’t delude yourself that riches or beauty by themselves will keep you happy; they’re ultimately too ephemeral and superficial for that (and having a gorgeous or filthy rich partner isn’t the picnic you may think it is). Even if you focus primarily on less shallow qualities, you’ll likely want to still include factors such as cuteness or net worth into your overall equation. In your shoes, however, I’d at least try to leave them out completely. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Of course, you’re delighted when someone appreciates your unique qualities, but when they obsess about them, it gets downright creepy. You’re more than a vehicle for your flaming red hair, gorgeous breasts or spectacular singing voice. Go ahead and flaunt your assets as usual this week, but don’t oversell them. Make sure everyone knows you’re a package deal. If someone only values you for a couple of your shining qualities, dump them, pronto. While it’s unlikely anyone will appreciate every single aspect of your being, many are ready to value most of who and what you are. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Someone please tell those who drench themselves in perfume/cologne that a cloud of headache-inducing, suffocatingly sweet stench is not hot. What’s ironic is that they don such scents to be more attractive, clueless that it might have precisely the opposite effect. You’re doing something similar — instead of making you sexier or more appealing, as you hope, it’s driving people away. Once you determine what you’re doing wrong (you may have to ask others; like those perfumed people, your nose may be desensitized to the noxiousness of your efforts), it’ll be simple to ditch the bad habit — about as easy as tossing a perfume bottle into the trash.

Taking in NYCC N
Dale’s New York Comic Con cohorts, Mark Hunsinger (dressed as Dexter Morgan) and Leslie Stewart (dressed as Ponyo).
Just what, exactly, would a gamer find at NYCC? Well, while it’s true that games do take a bit of back seat to some of the bigger things going on, they are in no way muted or unwelcome. You can’t miss them, really. This year, two very good friends of mine, Leslie Stewart and Mark Hunsinger from Wilkes-Barre, were kind enough to offer me a ride with them. This being their first Comic Con, they each got right into the spirit of the show, eager to experience every thing they could. They even wore costumes, with Stewart dressed as Ponyo from the Japanese animated film “Ponyo,” and Hunsinger dressed as Dexter Morgan from the Showtime series “Dexter.” Hunsinger, like me, was more interested in the gaming aspect of the show while Stewart couldn’t wait to meet celebrities, such as voice actress Mandy Bonhomme, actress Jewel Staite and artist Roman Dirge, creator of the “Lenore” comic book series. Also on hand was Mark Hamill, who played Luke Sky-
walker in the original “Star Wars” trilogy, and Peter Mayhew, who played Chewbacca, along with many other famous faces. Heck, if you were interested, you could have even had your picture taken from the driver’s seat of the “Back to the Future” DeLorean with a “Doc” and “Marty” look-alike parked in front of both the 1966 and Tim Burton versions of the Batmobile while a very hirsute man with a large stomach walked around in a Wonder Woman costume. Only at New York Comic Con, folks! In addition to the comics, artists and games, there’s all the people, young and old, who are there to have a great time. Seeing Hunsinger and Stewart’s enthusiasm reminded me of why I love going to conventions. Sure, I go because I have a job to do, but I go because I’m a fan, just like they are. W

ew York Comic Con just gets better, year after year. We attended the show on Saturday, seeing that it had grown to span three floors and a vast amount of floor space. Housed within the massive Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, the show offers a wide variety of things to do, from celebrities to meet, collectibles to purchase, movies to see, characters to dress up as and just about everything else a nerd could possibly want to do. And, yes, plenty of games! You might be lead to wonder, with a name like “comic” con, just what would be in store for a gamer? That is, someone like me who reads maybe one comic book a year. Just what, exactly, would a gamer find at NYCC? Well, while it’s true that games do take a bit of back seat to some of the bigger things going on, they are in no way muted or unwelcome. You can’t miss them, really. As soon as we hit the show floor, there were plenty of people standing in line to get a look at “The Darkness II,” “Max Payne 3” and many of the other games being shown off. Even if you don’t own a console, you can still find games for PC, iPhone and other platforms. Mobile Snap, for example, were showing off their iPhone game “Gravity Lab,” a fun, physics-based puzzle game which I’m assured is coming soon to Android. There’s even a healthy mix of collectible card games, pen-and-paper RPGs and board games to look at and try. You don’t have to be a video gamer to appreciate the variety of ways there are to have fun. Conventions are all about bringing people who share a common interest together. However, I’m usually alone on these affairs. I’m always looking forward to seeing industry acquaintances and the handful of contacts I’ve made while attending conventions, but it’s extremely rare that I get to experience the show with friends from “back home.”

Lawrence J. Hill of Mayfield “I love showing this car off,” Hill says. “Did all the work with a few buddies. Took a few years, but it was well worth it.” Hill says he designed the front of the car with a classic car from television history in mind. “When I look at the front of the car, I immediately think of the casket car that they drove on ‘The Munsters,’ and that’s exactly the look I was going for.” W PAGE 61
