Letter from the editor
I
t was with great sadness that I
heard that after 26 years,
Friendlys has closed its Dal-
las location effective Sunday, Jan.
8 following a Chapter 11 bank-
ruptcy protection filing by its
parent company.
Sure, the restaurant chain has
been a favorite of my family for
years, but this particular location
always makes me feel nostalgic,
especially since Ive been eating
there since I was a child, when the
building was home to Franklins
Restaurant.
I grew up in the Back Moun-
tain, so Ive eaten there most
likely hundreds of times. One of
my first memories there was
having the dessert Franklins used
to offer, a split chocolate cake
with ice cream in the middle and
globs of hot fudge oozing on all
sides. I remember sitting by the
windows overlooking Route 415
and sharing the sundae
with my mom (and prob-
ably making a mess).
In high school, my
friends and I would go
there for ice cream and
fries, but my favorite
recollections came later
on; more specifically, the
several Christmas Eves
Mom and I spent there.
Since my dad worked
most Christmas Eves and
our Big Holiday Meal
came the next day, we
always tried to do some-
thing different for Dec.
24, so one year, that meant din-
ing.
We drove all around Dallas
looking for a place to have dinner,
but alas, nothing was open save
Friendlys, so in we went. There
were only a few other diners, but
the staff was, well, friendly, and
decked out in Santa hats, and
there was just a jovial feel to the
entire meal. Christmas Eve there
quickly became a quirky tradition
for us for a few years, and it was
one that I remember fondly.
The restaurants location, be-
tween Routes 309 and 415, is
prime real estate for sure, what
with the Dallas Shopping Center
and other stores nearby. But only
time will tell if a new tenant will
have staying power that Friendlys
did.

I know this is not a very rapper

Tell @wkdr
your favorite
winter food
Merlot you know, because its
heavier than chardonnay. And it
makes my cheeks rosy.
Anything made in a Crock-Pot
mmm soup.
Soup or chili. Scotch oh wait whatever,
it still keeps me warm.
Hot chocolate. Tomato soup hamburgs!
There are so many. At the
moment, lets say roasted root
veggies and red wine.
My boyfriends homemade
chicken noodle soup. And Red
Cat.
Whats your favorite winter food?

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
OBSESSIVELY ODD
Obsessions: (1) Don Aslett, 76,
recently opened the Museum of
Clean in Pocatello, Idaho, as the
culmination of a lifelong devo-
tion to tidying up. Highlights are
several hundred pre-electric
vacuum cleaners plus interactive
exhibits to encourage kids to
clean their rooms. Aslett told
Londons Daily Mail in Decem-
ber that people who dont under-
stand his dedication must never
have experienced the satisfaction
of making a toilet bowl sparkle.
(2) Also starting early in life,
Dustin Kruse, 4, is so knowl-
edgeable about toilet models and
plumbing mechanics that the
Kohler Co. presented him with
an advanced-model dual flush
commode for Christmas. Dustin,
a fan of the Kohler showroom,
has been known to explain toilet
technology to other showroom
visitors.
GOVERNMENT IN ACTION!
-- Predator drones are an im-
portant weapon against terrorists
in Afghanistan, Yemen and other
countries, but in June, an un-
armed predator was employed
stateside to help catch cattle
rustlers. The Department of
Homeland Security owns eight
predators for surveillance and
occasionally assists local law
enforcement. The cattle rustlers
had been arrested, then jumped
bail and holed up on their vast
ranch near Lakota, N.D., but the
predator spotted their exact loca-
tion on the property, leading to a
raid that ended without blood-
shed.
-- Government Inaction: Indias
legendarily plodding government
bureaucracy had long stymied a
snake charmer named Hakkul (a
villager in Uttar Pradesh state),
who had sought a snake-conser-
vation permit, which had been
authorized at one level but de-
layed locally. In November, final-
ly exasperated, Hakkul walked
into the land revenue office in the
town of Harraiya with several
sacks of snakes (including co-
bras) and turned them loose,
sending clerks and visitors
climbing furniture or fleeing.
Recent news accounts report that
almost all of the snakes had
been rounded up.
-- From U.S. Sen. Tom Co-
burns periodic list of the most
unnecessary, duplicative and
low-priority projects that the
federal government currently
funds (announced in December):
$75,000 to promote awareness of
the role Michigan plays in pro-
ducing Christmas trees and poin-
settias; $48,700 for promoting
the Hawaii Chocolate Festival;
$113,227 for a video game pres-
ervation center in New York; and
$764,825 to study something
surely already done adequately
by Silicon Valley entrepreneurs
how college students use
mobile devices for social net-
working. Also on Sen. Coburns
list: $15.3 million in continuing
expenses for the famous Alaskan
bridge to nowhere that was
widely ridiculed in 2005 but
apparently refuses to die.
FELICITOUS DISCOVERIES
(1) Dan DAmato, 45, partying
in an Orlando, Fla., motel room
in December, was accidentally
shot by a stranger who was hav-
ing a dispute with another party-
goer. Later, as his wounded hip
was being treated at a hospital,
doctors discovered and removed
two huge tumors in DAmatos
abdomen that had so far gone
unnoticed. The tumors were not
cancerous but had they not been
found, they would soon have
disabled him. (2) At a home in
Taylorsville, Utah, in December,
one housemate who was pursuing
a mouse in the kitchen acciden-
tally shot another housemate. As
police investigated, they discov-
ered a 13-year-old girl hiding in a
closet. A third housemate, Paul
Kunzler, 28, was then arrested
and charged with carrying on a
months-long sexual relationship
with her.
POLICE REPORT
-- John Whittle, 52, was
charged in December with rob-
bing a Wells Fargo Bank in Port
Richey, Fla. According to police,
Whittle ordered a beer at the
Hayloft Bar shortly after 1 p.m.,
then excused himself, and a few
minutes later, returned to finish
his beer. In the interim, police
said later, Whittle had walked
down the street to the bank and
robbed it.
-- In December, Russell Mace,
55, was caught soon after rob-
bing a Union Savings Bank
branch in New Milford, Conn. A
bank employee had spotted Mace
acting suspicious in the park-
ing lot, and indeed, he said, Mace
entered, robbed the bank of about
$3,000, and fled to a waiting car.
Police, however, identified the
car, which they had noted from
Maces recent arrest for shop-
lifting. (The suspicious behav-
ior the bank employee had no-
ticed, he told police, was Mace,
pants down, defecating, in plain
view among parked cars.)
LEAST COMPETENT
CRIMINALS
Rookie Mistake: Tyechia Rem-
bert, 33, was arrested and
charged with robbing a Burger
King drive-thru cashier in York,
Pa., in December but only after
making police officers job eas-
ier. After her clean getaway, she
called the restaurant to reassure
herself that none of the witnesses
had noted her cars license plate
number. None had, but using cell
phone records, police traced that
call to Rembert.

Box 18737, Tampa FL 33679.
A December news release from the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control warned of the dangers of Campylobacter jejuni bacteria
infections on a sheep ranch, but apparently only among workers
who used an old-style (19th century) method of castrating the
animals. CDC strongly urged that workers stop biting off the
sheeps genitals and instead use modern tools.

Looking toward
tomorrow
Scranton Tomorrow starts 2012 with
Winter in the City
By Stephanie DeBalko
Weekender Staff Writer
S
ummertime fetes get all
the good press. Patio bars
open for business, fruity
cocktails ow freely, and
light, airy fare makes the rounds to
hordes of bikini-body-conscious
attendees. But whos to say we cant
have just as good a time in our long
underwear and ear-ap hats?
Winter may not be known as the
season for parties, as most people
buck all socializing and choose to
hibernate until April, but since a
fundraising committee was formed
about 10 years ago, local organiza-
tion Scranton Tomorrow has been
working on changing that.
Alot of people in the area were
saying, We wish that we had an
event during the winter that would
get people back out and back into
the downtown, said Leslie Col-
lins, executive director of Scranton
Tomorrow. So they started talking
about, Well, what kind of events
can you do in the wintertime? And
then a cocktail party seemed to be
the concept, and there was Winter in
the City.
For the ninth year in a row, Win-
ter in the City will bring a spirited
charge to the season notorious for
its depression-inducing weather. On
Friday, Jan. 13 and Friday, Feb. 10
from 5:30-8 p.m., the 21-and-over
event will be held at the Electric
City Trolley Museum in Scranton
and will feature food, beverages,
live music and an auction.
A FROSTY FROLIC
F
or a $15 cover charge, attend-
ees at Winter in the City will
have the option to sample
fare from more than 40 restaurants,
along with beer, wine, soda and
water, and will get admittance to an
auction featuring items donated
by area businesses. Local band
2 for the Road will provide
entertainment at the January
date, and Paul LaBelle and the
Exact Change will perform in
February.
The entrance fee,
along with the
proceeds from the
auction, will
funnel back
to another
Scranton
Tomorrow
initiative,
Main Street Scranton.
Main Street has arms and legs
everywhere, Collins explained.
We are designated by the Com-
monwealth of Pennsylvania as the
managers of the Main Street for
downtown Scranton, and that entails
a 30-block radius of the downtown.
And were really tasked with put-
ting together committees.
There are ve different com-
mittees, and we have 70 local
community volunteers serving on
those committees, which is huge. So
its going back to where Scranton
Tomorrow came from, which is
really the grassroots kind of effort
to make changes for the downtown
economy, and support the local
small businesses.
At press time, the list of vendors
for the auction was not yet nalized,
but Collins noted that the items up
for grabs will be similar to those
from last year and beyond, includ-
ing overnight hotel stays, auto de-
tailing gift certicates, local theater
tickets and more.
The restaurants participating in
Winter in the City, many of which
are returning after taking part in
previous years, will donate samples
of some of their best dishes. Al-
though the eateries arent seeing a
nancial prot from the shindig, its
a mutually benecial partnership
thanks to some unbridled publicity.
Its always hard when youre
asking for donations from local
businesses, especially when the
economy is tight, Collins ex-
plained. But what were very con-
scious of, and what we like to make
the restaurants aware of, is that this
event sees hundreds of people, so
its really great exposure for the
restaurants that participate.
For JoAnn Marianelli Finnerty,
owner and CEO of Bella Faccias
Personalized Chocolates & Gifts,
a chocolate specialties company
and bistro on Lackawanna Avenue,
thats only an added benet of get-
ting involved.
With Scranton, I have found
out I want to always be a part of
the city, I believe in it. Marianelli
Finnerty said, noting that this will
be her rst year participating in
Winter in the City after moving her
store from Old Forge to Scranton
last March. Im proud to be part
of the revitalization of this city
Whatever we can do, were always
a part of fundraising and giving
back.
LOOKING FORWARD
S
cranton Tomorrow has many
stokes in many proverbial
res, organizing a multitude
of events for the upcoming year
aimed at bringing the community
together and into the downtown
area. Fundraisers like Winter in
the City help the organization keep
many of these measures free to the
public.
Drive-in Downtown is a summer
activity on Courthouse Square
featuring a different movie each
week, and according to Collins,
Scranton Tomorrow is planning on
showing at least ve lms this year.
Another family-oriented project
the organization has taken on is the
development of Scranton-opoly, a
Scranton-themed board game based
on the iconic Monopoly game.
One of our very dedicated
board members, Bernie Maopolski,
brought the idea to our board,
Collins said. And it just took off.
Everybody thought it was a great
idea, and we were surprised how
enthusiastic the local businesses
were to participate.
To get people familiarized with
the downtown area, FAM tours
are offered every rst Saturday
between May and October from
noon-3 p.m., and Collins also noted
that a visit to the organizations
website will be quite different in the
near future.
We actually have received a
grant from the PPL Blue Ribbon
Foundation, and our website is
under construction, currently, Col-
lins stated. Were going to have a
whole new web presence.
Come spring, the Main Street
City Pride Project will encour-
age businesses to spruce up their
storefronts.
Additionally, Scranton Tomorrow
has partnered with the Chamber of
Commerce through its MetroAction
division for loan underwriting to
business owners looking to make
improvements to their buildings
facades.
For a small organization, we

have a lot going on, Collins noted.
But we have a lot of great vol-
unteers and a lot of community part-
ners, so thats the most important
thing. Its the way were really able
to get these projects completed. W

Anyone with an iTunes ac-
count has likely seen the name
SafetySuit pop up repetitively
over the past few weeks, as the
purveyor of mobile music has
been pushing the bands newest
album, These Times, like
crazy.
But like just about every
other overhyped entity in the
universe, These Times falls
far short of its expectations.
While most of the instru-
mentals on the album are pass-
able, if a little too loud at
times, the problem really lies in
the lyrics. Lacking depth and
dripping with platitudes, like on
the title track and the whiny
Staring At It, the words
plainly spell everything out for
the listener. This tactic may
work in some country-music
songs, but with a band like
SafetySuit, it results in a piece
even Justin Bieber would reject.
Case in point: Never Stop,
a superficially agreeable tune,
boasting a cushy guitar, which
becomes completely hackneyed
when one actually listens to the
words, as in, I will never stop
holding your hand / I will
never stop opening your door.
Gee, way to keep the mystery
alive.
To be fair, the album has a
few hopeful moments, like on
the surprisingly bluegrass-y
Things To Say, the pared-
down Life in the Pain and
the catchy dance-inspired Let
Go. The overall appeal of
these songs, however, isnt
enough of a penance for the
rest of the sugar-coated pop the
band is obviously trying to
pass off as hipster hymns.
All the band proves with this
offering is that its a pop
fiends version of Thirty Sec-
onds to Mars minus Jared Le-
to, which we all know is the
only redeeming part of that
band to begin with.
Sure, These Times isnt
entirely unpleasant to the ear.
But its a complete mockery of
the intellect. It might be befit-
ting for a person looking for
something very vanilla and
unoffending to play as back-
ground music at a kids party,
but thats only if said person
can get past the embarrassingly
absurd band name.

Throughout lineup changes, experi-
ments with style and even haircuts, Metal-
lica still reigns supreme as the king of
modern heavy metal.
The San Francisco quartet recently
celebrated its 30th anniversary and also
released Beyond Magnetic, an EP with
material recorded during the sessions for
2008s Death Magnetic but not included
on that album. While the timing of the
release coincides with recent anniversary
shows in its home city, it is also a great
opportunity for Metallica to get back in
fans good graces following the generally
negative response to Lulu, its recent
collaboration with The Velvet Under-
grounds Lou Reed.
While Beyond Magnetic has just four
songs, it clocks in at nearly half an hour,
and feels like a full album rather than just
a collection of discarded singles. Album
opener Hate Train opens up with a
classic bottom-heavy Metallica riff, and
the rest of the tracks follow in that same
burly, thundering vein. Just a Bullet
Away has a gritty, industrial feel; Hell
and Back pulses with fury and lengthy
closer Rebel of Babylon feels like a
self-contained metal opera.
The only real negative aspect of any of
the material included is the production
quality. Much like the rest of the Death
Magnetic album, most of the songs on
the EP have a lot of static in the back-
ground. Whether that was intentional or
an oversight is still a subject of debate for
fans, and Beyond Magnetic will likely
stir that pot again.
The past few years have been great for
metal music, and while this latest release
is just a short taste, Beyond Magnetic is
proof positive that Metallica still has what

Metallica's
` Magnetic' rebound
In the lifetime of a floating band
constantly shifting personnel, more than
a few Mothers did their inventive best
for the late Frank Zappa master
guitarist, enigmatic composer, satirical
lyricist since that bands 1965 start.
Arguably, though, this never-before-
released 1971 event (two shows, one
October night) at the venerated classi-
cal music hall featured Zappas finest,
if not weirdest, assemblage of adven-
turesome musicians and vocalists to
have embraced Motherhood.
A British session giant (drummer
Aynsley Dunbar), an improvisational
woodwind/keyboard player (Ian Under-
wood), the jazziest of original Mothers
(keyboardist Don Preston) and two
pop-singing Turtles (Flo & Eddie)
aided Zappa in some of his most cle-
verly complex compositions of the
period.
Although these Mothers cover Zap-
pas most impish psychedelic tracks
(Call Any Vegetable), oddball doo-
wop numbers (Any Way the Wind
Blows), linear instrumental workouts
(Peaches En Regalia), and avant-
classical epics (a 30-minute take on
King Kong), its the childishly comic
mini-opera Billy The Mountain and
its blues-inspired brother, The Mud
Shark, that are Carnegie Halls high-
lights. On these tunes, Flo & Eddie
show off their highest voices and sil-
liest soliloquies.
Still, as with every Zappa concert
recording, its Franks magnetically
adroit guitar playing (truly rivaling Jimi
Hendrix, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page)
and dippy dramaturgy that youll re-
member most.

River Street Jazz Cafe in Plains
Sunday, January 22, 2012
5pm-2am
On December 21st 2011. Donald Murray was involved in a near fatal car accident in a work truck on the
job. He is currently in a coma at the Lehigh Valley Burn Center. 60% of his body is covered in 3rd degree
burns. He also suffers from a Broken Hip and Broken Spine. He has undergone many surgeries already
including skin graphing on most of his body and bone placements and is facing amputations as the
burns are so severe. He is fighting very hard to survive. The medical bills continue to pile up. His family
has to commute an hour and a half to and from every day just to be by his side as he fights for his life, as
well as pay for accommodation, food, necessities, and travel expenses.
Entertainment by: SUZE, LASER SEX, DESUADO & DJ OHM
Food/pasta buffet donated by the River Street Jazz Cafe
Raffles and great prizes donated from local businesses
All proceeds will go to the medical expenses of Donald Murray and his family.
A benefit for Donald Murray, Holly Ivanitch, and Family

movie review
Paranormal Activity really

made it look easy, didnt it?
Howhard could it be to make
one of those found-footage horror
movies? All you really need is a
digital camera, grainy recordings
of doors slamming shut and two
people to shout about Ouija
boards or ghosts or whatever, and
youve got yourself an instant
blockbuster, right? Well, not
quite.
Granted, Paranormal Activ-
itys lo-fi, D-I-Yaesthetic and
loose, improvisatory pacing gave
the filma deceptively simple
quality, but the films slow-boil-
ing tension and foreboding atmo-
sphere were far more difficult to
pull off. And its these very im-
portant elements that films like
Apollo18 and The Devil In-
side seemto forget. Sure, they
always remember to make the
films tedious and cheap-looking,
but when it comes to actually
making these films scary, they
always manage drop the ball.
As in the trailer that suckered
millions of people into making
this the No. 1one movie at the box
office this past weekend, The
Devil Inside opens with a dis-
claimer warning that the Vatican
did not endorse this film. First of
all, shut the hell up, movie. Sec-
ond of all, this cant actually be a
thing. Does the Vatican actually
endorse films? If so, what is the
Catholic churchs official position
on 2 Fast 2 Furious or Air
Buddies? What does a papal
movie endorsement even look
like? Acartoon depiction of the
pope giving you a thumbs up?
Fromthere, were introduced to
the subject of our mockumentary,
Isabella Rossi (Fernanda An-
drade), an emotionally fragile
young woman whose mother
killed three people during a
botched exorcismattempt during
the late 80s and has been held in
a Catholic mental hospital in
Rome ever since. While Isabella
attempts to uncover the truth
behind her mothers strange con-
dition, she meets a pair of rogue
priests who covertly perform
unauthorized exorcisms. In spite
of the fact that the priests live in
constant fear of the Vatican find-
ing out about their actions and
excommunicating them, they
have no problemwith having a
camera crewfollowing them
around to record their secret activ-
ities.
Most bad movies dont invoke
the level of rage The Devil In-
side has invoked, but thats main-
ly because most bad movies have
the courage to be actual movies.
The Devil Inside isnt a movie,
its more like an unfinished work-
print of an even shittier movie.
Lacking tension or even a point,
The Devil Inside is barely fea-
ture-length, features uninteresting
characters mumbling out dry
dialogue, contains endless de-
bates about the authenticity of
exorcisms, has scenes blatantly
stolen fromThe Exorcist and an
abrupt ending that leaves several
important plot points unresolved.
Even worse, The Devil Inside
is so totally and completely cliche
riddled it isnt above using jump
scares repeatedly. Could we stop
this already? Loud noises do not
automatically equal scary. Jump
scares are the horror-movie equiv-
alent to fart gags. Theyre way too
easy, always get an unearned
reaction and are favored by the
desperate and creatively bankrupt.
Bad in a way that almost seems
intentional, The Devil Inside
often plays like an unintentional
parody of the found-footage
genre. Unfortunately theres noth-
ing (intentionally) funny about
The Devil Inside. The power of
Christ compels you to avoid this
worthless rip-off (Ha! Wordplay)!
Maria (Suzan Crowley), left, and Isabella (Fernanda Andrade) in a scene from The
Devil Inside.
By Mike Sullivan
'Devil' is bloodcurdling bad
Though it topped the box office and borrows from The
Exorcist, the movie just isnt as scary as it could be.

ralphie report
the
By Ralphie Aversa
Special to the Weekender
J
ason Derulo cancelled his
Future History world
tour last week following an
accident that almost left the
singer paralyzed.
During a tour rehearsal, Deru-
lo mistimed a backflip and land-
ed on his head. Doctors diag-
nosed the pop star with a hang-
mans break in his neck, which
means he broke the same bone
thats compromised when some-
one is hanged. Most people
either find themselves paralyzed
or dead after suffering this same
injury. Thankfully for Derulo, he
was neither.
It is far from the first time
that the artist has injured himself
while practicing his dance rou-
tine. Less than a month ago on
The Ralphie Radio Show,
Derulo spoke of another similar
accident.
My wrist, man, I was doing
back handsprings today, and I
just turned the wrong way, he
shared while showing off the
lack-of-range in his wrist.
I semi-jokingly told Derulo
that he needs to be more careful,
to which he replied that he was
trying. Then, he tweeted a photo
Wednesday of himself in a neck
brace.
I fractured my neck doing
tumbling & acrobatics 4 tour!
Derulo wrote along with the
photo. Always tryin 2 (sic) push
boundaries 4 YOU! Like my
new chain? ;)
While fans may mind that
chain, the superstar will have
to grow acclimated to it, as hell
be in the brace for the next six
months.
Thankfully for Derulo, music
videos for the next two singles
from his Future History al-
bum, Breathing, and Fight for
You, have already been filmed
and are available on his official
YouTube channel.
KATY SPEAKS
The soon-to-be-single Katy
Perry made her first public
comments since her husband
Russell Brand filed for divorce
in Los Angeles Dec. 30. In a
series of Twitter updates, Perry
both thanked her fans and at-
tempted to dispel some rumors
surrounding her separation.
I am so grateful for all the
love and support Ive had from
people around the world. You
guys have made my heart happy
again, Perry tweeted Saturday,

Not a blog, magazine, close

CELEBRITY
EXTRA
By Cindy Elavsky
Youll be able to see Christopher as soon as this
summer on the small screen when he makes his
debut on the sixth season of HBOs True Blood.
Details are hush-hush, as it always is with True
Blood, but according to executive producer Alan
Ball, Chris will play an ancient, powerful vampire
who holds the fate of Bill and Eric in his hands.
For the big screen, you can see him sometime
this year (a release date has not yet been
announced) in the comedy Awful Nice.And in
June 2013, he co-stars as Colonel Hardy in the
newSuperman flm, Man of Steel, which also
stars Henry Cavill, Russell Crowe, Amy Adams,
Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, and slew of other top-
notch stars.
I really miss Christopher
Meloni on Law & Order:
SVU. Please tell me I
can see him on another
series or in a movie
soon.

H
azletons Pennsylvania
Theatre of Performing
Arts is kicking off its
season and 2012 with the musical
comedy Dirty Rotten Scoun-
drels, starting Saturday, Jan. 14.
Based on the 1988 comedy star-
ring Steve Martin and Michael
Caine, the movie was adapted to
the Broadway stage in 2005, and
audiences have been laughing
ever since.
Its something really funny to
start the year, said Artistic Di-
rector Mike Marone. It allows
audiences to come and forget
their terrors for a few hours. It
helps that the whole show is set
in coastal France, so youll forget
its winter.
Whether you had a chance to
see the movie or not, the hilari-
ous plot translates to the stage
perfectly, and Marone is thrilled
to be presenting what he says is a
very well-written show, as it has
the same writers as The Full
Monty, another favorite of his.
There is lots of funny stuff
there, Marone said. It has, from
beginning to end, laughs. The
first joke is cracked within the
first minute of the show, right
until the last minute.
The show revolves around two
con artists; one is English (Law-
rence), one American (Freddy).
Freddy sees Lawrence perform-
ing a con on a woman and no-
tices how much better at it he is.
Freddy decides he is going to
blackmail him, threatening to go
to the police if Lawrence doesnt
show him his ways.
The title isnt as well-known
as a lot of other shows, but it is
equally as well-written and en-
joyable for audience members
despite its mysterious title, ex-
plained Marone. We dont want
people to not be interested be-
cause they may not know that
name they wont be disap-
pointed.
With a cast of 16 and the need
to portray 17 locations that the
show takes its audience to all on
one stage, it was certainly a chal-
lenge when designing the set.
The set pieces are enormous,
said Marone. It has everything
from the French coastline to
hotels and dungeons, mansions
and everything in between. There
are a lot of moving pieces; we
have a 14-foot rotating turntable
on stage. It actually rotates as the
show is being performed to re-
veal new locations.
For Marone, who has been
working in theater for 12 years,
what really makes the production
are the people involved.
Being able to work with such
talented people is amazing, said
Marone. A lot of people think
you have to go to New York City
to see a quality production, and
you dont have to, there are qual-
ity actors in this area.
Weve had a lot of regulars
who have been here and are
learning new things with this
show, tap dancing for instance,
and some that are brand new and
great. Seeing them find a new
skill set is rewarding for me. W

novel approach
J
ames Wolcott did not just
write a memoir. In fact, in
Lucking Out: My Life
Getting Down and Semi-Dirty
in the Seventies, Walcott
gives readers an important
message founded in great
modesty, humor and sincerity
with a single purpose. Readers
follow along to a past of vul-
nerability and rejection, as we
are lead to Walcotts pursuit
and conclusion of a dream
coming true.
Wolcotts memoir is a work
most writers could look up to,
not only because the writing is
vibrant and addicting, but also
because Wolcott started from
the bottom and managed to
work his way up to the upper
echelon of literary society.
Admittedly, I was originally
engrossed by the cover of the
work a blurred image of a
man walking against the sky-
line of New York City. In jux-
taposition with the memoir,
Wolcott managed to symbol-
ically connect that sense of
indistinct identity with the
story of how he came to be
one of the most famed cultural
critics, all starting in the fall
of 1972.
When Wolcott moved to
New York City, he threw cau-
tion to the wind, leaving every-
thing behind him as he moved
forward toward his dream of
becoming a published writer.
Wolcott remained an interest
throughout in large part that he
was forthright about what
inspired his writing the
works of former mentor Nor-
man Mailer. The example dem-
onstrated that no matter how
popular Wolcott became, he
never took his status for grant-
ed.
Structurally, he divides his
memoir into five sections
Lucking Out, Like Civilized
People, Punk, Bodily Con-
tact and What Are You Do-
ing Here? The entire memoir
is written in prose form, some-
thing not easily done, but luck-
ily perfected.
In the opening of Lucking
Out, Walcott writes, How
lucky I was, arriving in New
York just as everything was
about to go to hell. Indeed,
for Wolcott, the memoir is by
no means an easy ride for the
readers as we are taken scene
by scene of his early days a
deep well of squalor living and
denial.
No matter what is lost in
time, Wolcott continues his
focus when reverting back to a
past where so much is gone,
stricken from the scene, but
its still there, a landmark site
in nobodys mind but my own.
One of strongest themes
throughout is Wolcotts rejec-
tion of the traditional path
specifically, his definition of
what it means to be successful
and the steps that lead you
there. Ultimately, this book
may serve as an episodic ac-
count of Wolcotts life, but the
lessons he learns throughout
become the key points to a
unity that connects him to his
readers.

hether youre the type of person
that would trap animals to
harvest their pretty fur or the one
known to only wear manmade
materials, you can don the fur hat. And you
dont even have to ski the Swiss Alps to do so.
It is cold outside and big fur hats
whether real fur or faux can certainly
prevent frostbitten earlobes. Since you like
your ears, why not stay toasty in a big,
obnoxious fur hat? Thats right I said it. These
hats are obnoxious, which is probably why
I have always been smitten. Theyre big.
Theyre loud. They make a fashion statement
just by going out in public wearing one. And I
love every minute of their screaming attitudes.
Keep your red paint away from me as I
have numerous, I mean numerous fur hats
the real deal. Avintage shopaholic, it takes
a whole lot of willpower to prevent me from
purchasing a mink or fox hat if I see one in
an antique store. My rule of thumb, however,
is if it still has the paws and/or face, I wont
be caught dead in the corpse. But if its
just fur, and it was originally crafted in the
1940s or 50s, it shall be mine. Oh, how they
complement my vintage winter-hat collection.
Word for the wise however: If you have
cats, do not leave your fur hats lying around
unattended. You can be sure they will knead,
if not literally suck on, the fur. I dont know
if they think its a long-lost relative or what,
but Ive lost a few hats because of some over-
zealous felines.
Now dont go thinking I have a room full of
dead animals hanging on the walls or anything.
Im a hypocritical vegetarian with very specic
fashion tastes, not a killer. And although I have
fur hat after fur hat hanging on my hat
stand, I also have a few newer faux ones.
I love them all equally. Its interesting,
however, that most of my newer faux-fur
hats cost much more than my antique real
fur ones. Although I never buy real fur,
when I do want to experience true sticker
shock, I check out the prices of real ones.
Fortunately, Im never tempted to buy a
new real fur hat as I like to actually make
my car payments.
If you have deep pockets and want
only new fur, these three websites
have great hat collections: furhatworld.
com (has real and faux), bigfurhats.com
and wildthingsfur.com. For the people
who want the look without the brutality,
check out zappos.com, macys.com or
fabulousfurs.com.
And nally, if you want the complete
animal look, meaning with the paws and
face, do me a favor and shop at Spirithoods.
com. These hat/scarf/mitten combos are
completely faux and all the rage. You can
purchase the red fox, the husky, brown bear,
skunk, tiger, polar bear, leopard, grey wolf,
grizzly bear, night owl, panda and many more.

AGENDA, FROM PAGE 34
S
ince becoming a comedi-
an, Artie Fletchers career
has taken him to several
countries, more than 200 cities
and almost every state. Hes
been on TV, has a laundry list
of people hes opened for and
hosts The Artie Fletcher
Show on AM 820 in Tampa,
Fla. The former Northeastern
Pennsylvania resident can now
add author to his resume
with the recent release of
Comedy on the Road: As
Seen Through a Comics Blood-
shot Eyes.
People just think when you
start getting recognized from
television and commercials,
theyre like, Oh my God, look
at this guy. They dont under-
stand the struggle, Fletcher
said from his home in St. Pe-
tersburg, Fla. They dont un-
derstand the disappointments,
what you sacrifice in getting
there. Getting rejected constant-
ly, having agents and managers
lie to you, they dont get it.
Im very proud of the book.
Fletcher will celebrate the
release of Comedy on the
Road Friday and Saturday, Jan.
13-14 with performances and
book signings in Wilkes-Barre,
Mountain Top and Hazleton.
The book was ghostwritten by
Dan Maduri, who is part of
Fletchers radio show.
Hes incredible, incredible
writer, Fletcher shared. So I
would dictate. I wrote the book,
I wrote the outline, I wrote the
chapters we would record
them, and then he would ask
me questions.
The idea for the book is one
that Fletcher has been working
on since 2000, when he had a
deal with a publisher that went
under following Sept. 11. It
wasnt until Maurice Starr
stepped in that Comedy on the
Road was able to come to
fruition. Starr is best known for
working with New Edition and
New Kids on the Block in the
80s.
We have the same lawyer,
and (Starr) goes, Why dont
you sign with my company?
Fletcher recalled. So I signed
with him because, I mean, the
guys got 19 Grammys.
After about two and a half
years in the making, the book
came out Dec. 19 and is avail-
able on amazon.com and all
Gallery of Sound locations. If
theres one lesson Fletcher
wants readers to learn from
Comedy on the Road, it
would be persistence.
Never give up on your
dreams, he began. Dont lis-
ten to people who are jealous
or negative stay away from
negative people. Work hard,
listen to people who know what
theyre talking about, people
who have a proven track record,
and just dont give up. Work
harder.
Despite being content about
where he is now, there is one
thing Fletcher would have done
differently.
When I got out of college, I
wouldve become a comic im-
mediately because I would have
had my own TV show by now,
he said. I came close, I had a
developmental deal with Fox,
but after Sept. 11, that fell
through. But I never gave up, I
just never gave up. W

dish
By Nikki M. Mascali
Weekender Editor
T
his week, Im kicking off a
new aspect of Dish, a
segment called In the
kitchen with , which will
give us an inside look at some of
the chefs that make dining in
Northeastern Pa. so dynamic.
Were starting off with John J.
Hudak Jr., the executive chef at
Vanderlyns (239 Schuyler Ave.,
Kingston). The Dallas native
opened the restaurant with his
sister, Suzanne Rismondo, in
October 2010, in the location
formerly occupied by Kazimis.
Whats the story behind the
name? Its named after my ma-
ternal grandfather, his name was
Louis V. Ide, and the V stood for
Vanderlyn I always just
thought it was a cool name. Its
non-descript, per se, and I
thought it had class.
What would you say your
signature dish is? Its hard to
pinpoint just one; we do some
things we call signatures, we
have the Louis V, named after my
grandfather, which are med-
allions of veal, prosciutto, golden
sherry sauce, smoked mozzarella
cheese we have certain things
on our menu page that we denote
as signature.
Why do you do the tableside
Caesar salads? Its something
that was done by (Kazimis), and
we carried it through. People like
the idea that its being made
tableside, they like the interaction
with the wait staff, and our wait
staff are trained to do that
even me if I have to in a pinch
(laughs).
Whats your most-used in-
gredient? Onions or some form
of onion or garlic goes into a lot
of things.
Do you cook at home? I do
when Im home.
Three things always in your
fridge: Milk, iced tea, wine.
Favorite meal to eat: Tradi-
tionally, I just like a good steak.
If I was to go out, Ill try some-
thing different.
Guilty food pleasure: Nothing
particular, usually something
sweet. You cant trust a skinny
chef (laughs).
Favorite restaurant outside
NEPA? I dont get to travel too
much, but I went to Chicago and
went to some neat places out
there, one was a chophouse.
Where we would bring out a
dessert tray, they would bring out
a meat tray, and show you an
8-ounce filet, a 10-ounce, a 20-
ounce rib chop it was a Fred
Flintstones dream!
Do you ever eat fast food?
Sometimes, usually its late at
night after Ive worked ump-
teenth hours. Usually its a burger
and fries, theres never a bad time
for a Frosty.
Do you watch food-related
TV? I watch the Food Network.
Its not exactly what a chefs life
is about, but its cool. I like
watching Chopped, but theyre
put in such a situation with such
bizarre ingredients, its kind of
unique. I watch food, but I like
sports.
How do you think youd fare
on a food show? It depends.
Iron Chef is kind of cool be-
cause theres definitely more to
that than you see in the 60 min-
utes, Id love to see the behind-
the-scenes on how much they
know because in 10 minutes
lapsed time, they already have 15
things going. Its like, How did
you not know this?
Why become a chef? I just
love to cook, its pretty simple. I
was a typical kid who graduated
high school and didnt know
what I wanted to do. My friends
were going to college, so I
thought Id better go to (Luzerne
County Community College). At
the time, there was a six-month
program, and I learned that I was
good at it, and that I enjoyed it,
and I went on from there. Its
nice when you love what you do.

tech talk
By Nick Delorenzo
W
ell, actually, theyre in
Nevada, and you cant
have themyet.
The Consumer Electronics Show
is just getting under way in Las
Vegas. CES, as its more commonly
known, is a showcase of all the
hottest electronics currently under
development.
Top electronics manufacturers
fromaround the world showoff all
of their latest TVs, phones, tablets,
computers and gadgets in general,
and when vendors offer live
streams fromtheir booths, all gad-
get lovers can do is drool with envy
over all of the thinner, lighter, cool-
er, more powerful things they cant
get their hands on.
Among some of the highlights:
Aslewof newTVs fromLG, a
gaggle of cameras fromCanon, and
tablets, routers and laptops galore.
Theres just one bit of dust on this
rosy picture of electronic intrep-
idity, and its a big one: Microsoft.
Claiming that its development
cycle is not compatible with the
CESshow, and noting that its re-
leases are often drowned out by a
cacophony of other vendors and
products at CES, Microsoft has
said this year will be its last as a
participating vendor.
And its not that it doesnt have
anything to talk about Windows
8, Windows Phone 7.5, a newXbox
say what you will about the
mega corporation, its got things in
the pipeline that people want to see.
It also has a point.
I may not be a grizzled, veteran
reporter, but Ive been keeping
enough of an eye on the industry to
knowthat a substantial portion of
the most buzz-worthy products
tend to disappear or just plain dont
generate any enthusiasmoutside
the industry. So fromMicrosofts
standpoint, it doesnt make sense to
rush its products or invest capital in
the showwhen it can focus on other
methods of marketing.
And theres a really simple rea-
son that this is a good idea: Al-
though CESis fairly glamorous, at
the end of the day, its still a trade
showproducts are being re-
viewed and played with by industry
people, and what is most impres-
sive to themmight fall flat with the
consumer.
Maybe Microsoft is going to use
the Apple example: Why announce
or showoff products at a trade show

bitch & brag
By Jeff and Amanda of 98.5 KRZ
JeffsBitch:
Were not exactly famous in
Pennsylvania for having the great-
est roads. In fact, we may win some
kind of award for just the opposite,
but we all learn to grin and endure.
But when our own neighborhoods
start getting ripped and shredded
by the utility companies, thats
when I say bullshit.
Case in point: If you live or drive
in the Lee Park-Boland Avenue
section of Hanover Twp., you know
exactly what Imtalking about. A
quiet little neighborhood is trans-
formed into what appears to be a
war zone. I happen to own property
there, so I decided to investigate.
The culprit this time is the water
company laying down newlines.
OK, fine. But heres an idea:
After you rip apart a smooth
road and lay down pipes, how
about freakin repairing the road?
It looks like they threwdown a
couple shovels of blacktop and had
a couple of guys jump up and
down on it! Its way beyond being
bumpy, the gullies and lumps and
dips in the road are so severe, you
literally must hang on tightly to
your steering wheel because the car
gets pulled left and right like some
out-of-control amusement park
ride and its been like this for
weeks and weeks! Geez, if I want-
ed to ruin my suspension and
frontend, Id just drive up and down
Coal Street in Wilkes-Barre all day.
And it seems to happen all over
the area, whether its a water-com-
pany or gas-company project. They
are quick to rip up, but rarely return
it the way they found it.
I think the most frustrating thing
about all of this is we are helpless. I
contacted Hanover Twp. officials
who said its the Pennsylvania
Utilities Commissions baby and
was told essentially that they do
what they want. Awesome. Thanks
PUC! Another shining example of
our government at work.
AmandasBrag:
Ive been cheating on Facebook
with Pinterest, and Imnot even
sorry about it. While Facebook
years back became an addiction for
many of us and the root of
hundreds of wasted hours of our
lives I feel like Ive broken the
addiction with something thought-
provoking that taps into my cre-
ative energy.
Facebook is such an easy way to
waste time, and there are so many
ways to access the timewaster and
mood killer. Home computer, work
computer, smartphone, iPad so
many opportunities and ways to tap
into the addiction of essentially
stalking your friends and acquaint-
ances. Its a mindless waste of time,
which led me to my affair with
Facebooks crafty and cute stepsis-
ter, Pinterest. I joined the site a
little over a month ago and started
shifting my Facebook time to it.
I soon found myself daydream-
ing more, being more creative and
listing do-it-yourself to-do lists of
things I wanted to try and make
happen. Home-decorating ideas,
party planning and artistic tech-
niques. If youre not totally familiar
with Pinterest, its basically a site
(that has a short waiting list right
now) that is a virtual pin board
where you can pin and share differ-
ent things you are drawn to, as well
as see what others have posted. You
can search and save by category
and followthe pins of people you
may know.
Heres what I love the most
about this website: Its getting
people who have found themselves
wrapped up in technology back to
making things, creating things and
daydreaming. Sure, were planning
weddings we arent having, deco-
rating homes we cant afford and
wishing for hairstyles our hair
could never accommodate, but
were also stepping away from
Jersey Shore and heading to
Michaels to create things. Pinterest
has an iPhone app that has now
become the last thing I check
before I fall asleep at night, replac-
ing Facebook and coincidental-
ly, my dreams have become less
about what my friends are com-
plaining about in their status and
more about fun projects I cant wait
to have the time to do! Cheat on
Facebook! W
Hear Jeff andAmanda Bitch&
Brag Fridays at 3:30 p.m. on98.5
KRZ.
While seen often here in NEPA, this sight sure isnt
welcome, as Jeff can attest.
With Pinterest, Amanda found a whole new obsession to
replace Facebook.

OS ANGELES Theres
only one newcomer to the
feature-film nominees
announced Monday, Jan. 9 for
the 64th annual DGA Awards:
Michel Hazanavicius for The
Artist.
Not only is it the 44-year-old
French filmmakers first nomi-
nation from the Directors Guild
of America, it also is the first
time that the guild has nominated
a silent film in the feature cate-
gory.
Earning his fifth DGA nomi-
nation is Woody Allen, 76, for
the comedy Midnight in Paris.
He won the top DGA Award 34
years ago for Annie Hall. He
was also nominated for 1979s
Manhattan, 1986s Hannah
and Her Sisters and 1989s
Crime and Misdemeanors. He
also earned a DGA Lifetime
Achievement honor in 1996.
David Fincher, 49, picked up
his third DGA feature nomi-
nation for the thriller The Girl
With the Dragon Tattoo. He
earned his first feature nod three
years ago for The Curious Case
of Benjamin Button and last
year for The Social Network.
He won the DGA Commercial
Award in 2003 and was also
nominated in that category four
years ago.
Alexander Payne, 50, earned
his second DGA feature nomi-
nation for the family drama The
Descendants. He was previously
nominated for 2004s Side-
walks. Last week, Payne re-
ceived a Writers Guild of Amer-
ica nomination for the script of
The Descendants.
Rounding out the five nomi-
nees is Martin Scorsese, 69, for
his valentine to the movies, Hu-
go. He won the DGA Award for
feature films five years ago for
The Departed and in the TV
category last year for Board-
walk Empire. Hugo marks his
ninth DGA Award nomination.
In 1999, he was given the Film-
maker Award at the first DGA
honors gala and was the recipient
of the Lifetime Achievement
Award in 2003.
I am honored to have been
recognized by my peers for my
work on Hugo, Scorsese said
in a statement. It means a great
deal to me to have the respect of
my peers. The fact that our pic-
ture honors the work of Georges
Melies, one of the inventors of
cinema and an artistic forefather
to us all, makes the nomination
all the more meaningful.
Notably missing from the list
of nominees are Steven Spielberg
for War Horse and Terrence
Malick for The Tree of Life.
Malick won the National Society
of Film Critics Award for his
direction Saturday.
The DGA Awards are consid-
ered one of the most reliable
bellwethers for the Best Director
Oscar: Only six times have the
guild and the Academy of Mo-
tion Picture Arts and Sciences
disagreed on a years best direc-
tor of a feature film. The last
time was nine years ago when
Rob Marshall won the DGA for
Chicago and Roman Polanski
received the Academy Award for
The Pianist.
The DGA Awards will be
handed out Saturday, Jan. 28 at
the Grand Ballroom at Holly-
wood & Highland. Kelsey Gram-
mer will be the host. W
Michel Hazanavicius, writer/director of The Artist at a November screening. Earlier
this week, Hazanavicius garnered his first DGA Award nomination for Outstanding
Directorial Achievement in Feature Film for The Artist.

So much for the last time
Comedian Jerry Seinfeld will perform Friday, Jan. 13 at 7 p.m.
and 9:30 p.m. at the F.M. Kirby Center (71 Public Square,
Wilkes-Barre).
Seinfeld had originally been booked for one show, but added a
second performance due to popular demand. Known for his
material relating to the little things in life and a self-titled, iconic
television show, Seinfeld has been dubbed the master stand-up
comic of his generation in a Washington Post article by Tom
Shales.
Tickets for the 7 p.m. performance are limited. Tickets for both
times are $65-$80, available through Ticketmaster. For more
info, call the venue at 570.826.1100, or visit jerryseinfeld.com or
kirbycenter.org.
Green piece
By Jen Stevens
I
ts hard to believe that its
already 2012, and the holi-
days are over. Its cold, and
its January, and sadly, it al-
ways seems like there isnt a
whole lot going on around this
time of year. By the middle of
the afternoon, you probably
find yourself slumped over
your desk or wherever you are
and forcing yourself to stay
awake. This year, instead of
grabbing an energy drink or
coffee, try a natural way to
revive your winter energy
funk.
I know its easier said than
done, but instead of your ev-
eryday afternoon coffee, try
switching to green tea. Green
tea is rich in powerful antiox-
idants that boost your immune
system and will keep you feel-
ing healthy. Its also known to
act as a stress-reliever, which
is great for the winter blues.
And if youre looking to lose a
few pounds for the New Year,
tea contains no carbohydrates,
fats or proteins, unlike coffee.
Tea companies are also much
more involved with eco-
friendly and fair-trade proc-
esses. Because tea weighs so
much less than coffee, less
fossil fuel is required to ship
and export it around the world,
making it much more green.
The food you eat plays a big
part in how you feel each day
as well. If youre stuffing your
face with cookies, chips and
burgers, then you probably
wont feel so great. Eating less
meat and more fruits, grains
and vegetables can help you
feel better and help the envi-
ronment. Eating meat contrib-
utes heavily to global warming
because raising animals for
food on factory farms pro-
duces high amounts of green-
house emissions. You should
also avoid soda and maybe
introduce new things into your
diet like lentils or even quinoa
(a grain seed that is high in
protein).
Aromatherapy is a great way
to boost energy and beat those
winter blues and can be used
in a variety of ways. NEPA
has so many different places
you can go to pick up aro-
matherapy products. Thrive
Wellness Center (647 Wyom-
ing Ave., Kingston) offers a
variety of products and ser-
vices that focus on healing the
body physically, emotionally
and spiritually. If youre unfa-
miliar with the services and
products, Thrives staff will
happily educate you along the
way. Its a great place to get
started and to lift yourself up
out of your winter slump.
Only a few more months of
winter left, so keep your ener-
gy up! W
Beat winter
naturally
Thrive Wellness Center in Kingston offers a wide range
of products catering to natural healing methods.

Greg Korin
Pringle
C
omedian, actor, director, marketing rep, the
list goes on and on. Greg Korin, a Montana
native but Pennsylvania resident for two
decades, is busy in the local community
scene as well as at his full-time place of
employment, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs.
With a love for acting and a desire to make people
laugh, Greg is also a viral-video sensation thanks to
his Heynabonics YouTube video. And just this week,
he shot a pilot called The Sporting Life for Comedy
Central, which he described to us as MASH meets
Caddyshack.
Though Greg will be leaving NEPAfor Las Vegas
later this winter, hell always be a sure bet when you
want to crack up, so lets learn a little bit more about this
funnyman.
Community involvement: Actor/director/producer
in local community theater and independent lms,
improv comic just call me King O Funny.
Hobbies: Hobbies? Who has time for hobbies? See
above.
Favorite quote: Dont try to be a great man, just be
a man. Others will decide.
Claim to fame: This little YouTube video that a
couple two-tree people have seen. You might have heard
of it: Heynabonics. Someone even recognized me in
Las Vegas for it
Favorite thing about the area: The amount of
opportunities Ive had to do so many different and
wonderful things. Believe me, they are out there. I
moved here 20 years ago from Montana, there are no
opportunities there to do anything. Im really glad I
relocated here, and Im grateful to everyone for allowing
me to do foolish things. And some really cool things, too.
Favorite movie: I keep telling people its the original
Godfather, probably the best American movie of the
last 50 years, but I keep putting Blazing Saddles into
the DVD player when I have downtime
One thing most people dont know about me:
Im a woman.
One thing Ive always wanted to do: Go into
outer space but most people say Im already there.
What I wanted to be when I grew up: From the time
I was 5 years old, Ive wanted to be an actor, and Ive
wanted to make people laugh. Ive been doing that since
1971 I may grow older, but Ill never grow up.
Current passion: I always have a passion for my
craft, the theater. Im always thinking of shows I could
do, short movies, etc., but lately my grandchildren
have been taking up my time. I have two wonderful
grandchildren, Bob is 5 and Ashlynn just turned 1. I
adore them both and dote on them constantly....
Who is...
Marketing rep,

sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
Are you there, Chel-

sea?
I asked the edgy
comedian if she could
hear me as I was about to
interviewher and Laura
Prepon via satellite.
Afewyears earlier, I
dreamt of having the
opportunity to speak with
the late-night hostess
while in Japan competing on the
ridiculous ABCreality series I
Survived AJapanese Game Show.
One night, someone fromthe cast
asked everyone what they hoped to
get out of doing the show.
I want to be on Dancing With
the Stars next, shared the shows
token black guy.
Please. This showis so stupid,
I mercilessly pointed out. Theres
no way were going to get famous
fromit. I just want the money to
pay my college expenses.
Well if you could get something
out of it, what would you want?
asked the token soccer momwith
sass.
Id want to be on Chelsea
Lately, I answered for the sake of
the argument.
The more I went stir crazy from
making my way through obstacle
courses every day in a foreign
country for two months, the more I
started thinking I might have a
chance, even if it were out of pity
for knowing I was on such a de-
plorable show.
Since I had a copy of her be-
stseller, Are You There, Vodka?
Its Me, Chelsea, by my side in
Japan, I started carrying the book
around during important moments
in the showthat I figured would be
hard to edit out, such as discussions
on who to put into elimination,
hoping it would get the attention of
Chelseas handlers.
Instead of my initiative getting
me on Chelsea Lately, it got me
put on timeout fromthe producers,
which only gave me less airtime.
Nowthe book that served as my
partner in crime in Japan is a new
NBCsitcomcalled Are You
There, Chelsea? starring Handler
and Prepon; it airs Wednesdays at
8:30 p.m. Earlier this week, I was
given the chance to interviewthem
both for my segment on PALive.
Are you there, Chelsea? I
asked via satellite.
Oh, she was there, eventually
asking me on daytime TVif I have
a lot of sex! Howdid I respond?
Tune in to my interviewairing in
two parts Wednesday and Friday at
4 p.m. on WBRE! W
Chelsea was
there
Justin chats via satellite with Laura Prepon and
Chelsea Handler on PA Live. Below, a promo for the
stars new NBC show, Are You There, Chelsea?

here are many reasons a
man becomes a Chippen-
dale. He could be looking
for a new, more exciting career,
for one. He could also be looking
to travel the country and the
world or he could just want to
work for an immensely success-
ful international company.
But for Kevin Cornell, he was
just listening to his mom.
She went to go see one of the
shows, and she was really im-
pressed by what it was, Cornell
recalls during a phone call from
his Las Vegas home. She came
home and was just bothering the
hell out of me. Kevin, Kevin,
Kevin, youve got to be a Chip-
pendale!
I told her she was crazy, be-
cause I think like a lot of people,
I had a preconceived notion of
what (Chippendales) was, Cor-
nell continues. She just
wouldnt stop bothering me, and
I said, Alright, Ill go to one
audition. If I make it, cool. If I
dont, dont ever bring it up
again.
But Cornell did make the cut,
and now, eight years later, the
former bartender is a lead Chip-
pendale. Cornell and his agile,
able-bodied cohorts will invade
Wilkes-Barre Friday, Jan. 13 with
a performance at Genettis.
These most-wanted men,
according to The Insider on
Entertainment Tonight, have
been riling up women across the
globe since 1978. For the past
seven years, Chippendales calls
its custom-built, $10 million
theater inside the Rio All-Suite
Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas
home.
On stage, the cast acts out
many fantasies for those in at-
tendance via striptease costumes
like cowboys, doctors, firemen
and the troupes classic uniform:
A bow tie and shirt cuffs sans
shirts.
Its funny, when were on the
road, were always asking where
the wardrobe section is,
and people are like,
Why do you need war-
drobe? Its just G-
strings, Cornell says.
We have more war-
drobe than Madonna and
Britney Spears; they
change clothes like three
times a show were
constantly changing all
the time.
While the job of a
Chippendale is to whip
his audience up into a
frenzy, the screaming
ladies arent the only
ones who end up feeling
adrenalized.
Im pretty wound up
after the show, Cornell
shares. Im always
ready to party, and its
not easy to just go back
to the hotel room and
just fall asleep. We usu-
ally end up having some kind of
after party or what have you.
Touring six to eight months a
year can be rough, but Cornell,
who is currently single, does
enjoy coming back home for
some downtime.
Usually, I try to get acquaint-
ed with my couch because I dont
get to see it very often, he says
with a laugh. I get home, and
Im able to work out and cook
for myself and see my friends
back here in Vegas and things
like that. W
Firemen are just one of the costumes the Chippendales have up their sleeves for their
Wilkes-Barre performance.

says it produces 700 horsepower and 650 ft./lbs.

The car was designed and built to look like
a 1969 Camaro, handle like a new Corvette and
have unbelievable power. When you drive the
car its easy to see that all was accomplished.

Tips
By Janelle Engle
from a
barbie chick
F
rom legwarmers to Ma-
donnas cone bra, the
1980s did give us some
strange trends that Im glad
didnt stick. But certain styles are
still trendy and fun to this day.
From head to toe, this is how
to pay homage to the decade.
Combat boots were particular-
ly popular, especially Dr. Mar-
tens. Youd often find a pair of
ripped-up tights paired with
Converse if youre going for the
80s punk-rock look. For a more
preppy appearance, Keds were
all the rage. Many of these items
most people still consider a sta-
ple in any wardrobe to this day.
While most people shudder
when hearing the words acid-
wash denim, the 80s were all
for it, and when worn right, it
can add just the right thing to an
outfit, especially in high-waisted
shorts or jeans. Be careful
though, while the 80s would
often do denim on denim with
different washes, thats a style
that should have stayed behind.
Another huge trend was plaid or
horizontal stripes the 80s
were all about loud and ob-
noxious prints.
Obviously, the best way to stay
authentically 80s is to shop
thrift stores for one-of-a-kind
pieces from that decade. To this
day, though many designers still
look to the 80s for inspiration,
just like style icons Debbie Har-
ry and Joan Jett still inspire
female artists today. Its easier
than you might think to find
clothes that were inspired by the
decade.
In fashion, it seems they love
to say the 80s are back, but in
my opinion, they never actually
left and wont be long gone for
awhile. While the prints may be
bold, the hairstyles obnoxious
and the styles a little zany, the
80s were a fun decade for fash-
ion and having fun with fash-
ion is a look that will always be
classic to me. W
Janelle demonstrates some of the good fashion trends
from the 1980s.
'80s inspirations

hat happens beyond the
swinging doors that
lead into a restaurants
kitchen isnt always the infernal
scullery you see on reality TV.
Sure, plates get dropped,
stockpots get banged around,
kitchen crews shout above the
din and temperatures rise as the
evenings service hits its peak.
Happens in any kitchen (even
yours or mine) as the clock
ticks toward dinner.
What helps many top restau-
rants keep their kitchen crews
cool and in sync when working
in high gear? They sit down
together before dinner service
for a meal, often simple com-
fort foods, prepared by staff.
Beyond nourishment, the meal
builds a camaraderie that can
survive day-to-day mini-uproars.
Two recent books vouch for
the value in preparing and eat-
ing a meal together: Off the
Menu: Staff Meals From Amer-
icas Top Restaurants, by Ma-
rissa Guggiana and The Family
Meal: Home Cooking With
Ferran Adria.
At its core, it is a time for
the health of the staff to devel-
op, writes Guggiana. Like
dinner for many families, it is
the only time that everyone is
together in an unstructured
way.
At El Bulli, chef Adrias
culinary temple in Roses, Spain,
the daily supper was dubbed the
family meal, because the 75
staff members are like family.
Its an important moment when
everyone sits down together to
eat, he writes. We believe that
if we eat well, we cook well.
How a staff meal comes to-
gether often reflects a restau-
rants character and style. Some
let staff create feasts from items
culled from the pantry. Some
plan meals in great detail. Some
meals are simple, yet fabulous.
Some not so much. And some-
times staff order out.
Adria and a head chef at El
Bulli (now closed, but reopen-
ing in 2014 as a culinary think
tank) meticulously planned
everyday varied and inexpen-
sive meals of an appetizer,
entree and dessert, working
from 100 or so favorite recipes,
ranging from duck with chim-
ichurri sauce to cheeseburgers
with potato chips (commercial
chips, by the way).
Several times a year, large
batches of stocks and sauces
(say, bolognese) were prepared
then frozen in meal-size por-
tions. Leftovers were used, fro-
zen peas welcomed. And, Adria
notes, Like any savvy cook,
overripe or leftover fruit goes
into sorbets or fruit sauces.
Perhaps, suggests Guggiana,
some restaurant staff meals are
not unlike Tuesday night family
suppers, where ingredient avail-
ability, time limitations and
seasonality all come into play.
In some kitchens, its a testing
ground: If you cant throw
together a meal for your peers
from the contents of the pantry,
then youre not truly a chef.
She toted a camera and lap-
top to 51 restaurants, from
Abattoir (skillet-fried rice in
Atlanta) and AOC (cabbage
salad in Los Angeles) to Wood-
berry Kitchen (ricotta pancakes
in Baltimore) and Zingermans
Roadhouse (cheddar ale soup in
Ann Arbor, Mich.). Her focus?
Farm-to-table restaurants and
places that have a reputation
for having great staff meals or
places I knew had really happy
staffs, she says, during a phone
chat from her Berkeley, Calif.,
home.
In most places, the staff gets
to make the staff meal. And in
a restaurant where thats valued
where its, Hey, why dont
you make something delicious
out of whats in the walk-in?
that makes people happy.
Theres a subtle, cumulative
bonding that happens over
time, Guggiana says. Its not
just the eating, but the getting
to do something fun and cre-
ative and making it.
The principle applies at
home, too, Guggiana says:
People value things more when
theyve made a contribution
at home and in the restaurant
kitchen. W

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
Youre standing on a diving board in
front of a pool. Its the only way in, so
youve got two choices: Dive into the
deep end, or dont get in at all. Its really
too bad you cant just get your feet wet
and check out what the waters like be-
fore youre in a sink-or-swim situation.
Since you cant, youll have to do your
best to figure out whats best and whether
or not to take the leap at all from up
here. Never fear, if you cant decide, wait
a week or two someone else will de-
cide for you, and your new dilemma will
be how to live with whatever they chose.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Getting other people to shoulder the
responsibilities you think should be theirs
is a thankless job and thankfully not
yours. You may believe its your duty to
convince someone else to step up and
take on obligations, but its really not.
Thatd just piss them off, anyway. Wheth-
er youre a parent, friend, lover or cow-
orker, at some point you need to trust
others to do what theyre supposed to do,
and stand aside and let them pay the
consequences if they fail. Sparing them
that harsh lesson isnt a kindness so
spare yourself the hassle.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
You dont need to be defined by your
past, but being influenced by it is impor-
tant. Trying to reject or hide where
youve come from is depriving yourself
of a source of power and self-knowledge,
and is also almost like telling a lie. That
doesnt mean you need to inform every-
one you meet about painful or embarrass-
ing chapters youve suffered but cer-
tainly those youre closest to should
know. Suffering creates character and
beauty, and is also an integral part of
being human and alive. This week, focus
on owning yours in a way you never have
before.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
Youre usually laidback and easygoing,
but you do have buttons that, when
pushed, can cause scary flip-outs. If one
of those hard-to-reach buttons actually
gets pushed this week (which is likely),
try to surprise yourself (instead of every-
one else) by reacting in a sane, rational,
calm manner, instead of flipping out like
you really want to something surely
even you realize isnt likely to help mat-
ters at all. Vanish, if necessary. Your
absence may cause questions but its
better if you calmly answer those later,
rather than provide the answers now,
while flipping out, dont you agree?
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
This week, steel yourself against guilt
trips, because youre likely to experience
more than one. Theyre probably not even
intentional which makes them more
effective. However, your boundaries
should remain firm, no matter how diffi-
cult it is. Youre not truly obligated here,
no matter what they say. This is a great
time to employ that infamous bullheaded
stubbornness of yours. Of course, theres
no need to be mean about it thats
only likely to make you feel even guiltier
and succumb to their efforts. Find a gen-
tle, kind, yet firm way to say, Thanks,
but no thanks.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
Trying too hard is a reliable way to
make sure people dont like you much.
Making a good impression is mostly
about being yourself, so chill! Take a
deep breath, exercise your excellent hu-
mor and listen a lot. Be real, even if that
means admitting to being nervous or
feeling weird. Youre charming and like-
able except when youre trying hard to
be. Since youre wonderful quite natural-
ly, you dont need to make any real effort
besides being present and giving a shit.
After that, just try to, you know, have
fun. The rest will take care of itself.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
Dont sweat the small stuff. Whats
missing here is perspective something
thats often difficult for you Cancers to
get. Youre bobbing in the ocean, and
when those big waves of emotion come,
its very hard to see the horizon. Wait
until the waves passed, and you can see
far into the distance before you make
your move (or any decisions). Reacting
right in the moment, just because of the
urgency of this huge wall of emotion
crashing over your head, is completely
understandable but itll almost certain-
ly come off as (and be) overreacting.
Dont do it.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
If you were a dog, you might very well
be the kind to turn your nose up at table
scraps. However, if someone put those
table scraps on a silver platter and gus-
sied them up a bit with some garnishes
and a gourmet sauce, you might feel
differently. Thats your pride getting in
the way. Its not the nature of the things
you receive that you have a problem with,
its how theyre offered. If it doesnt fit in
with your ego, you might very well pass
up something you actually really want or
even need. That seems sort of silly, mis-
sing out on something great just because
its not packaged exactly how you imag-
ined it doesnt it?
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
We shut people out for all sorts of
reasons, and usually think that once that
doors closed, well never open it again,
no matter how much someone on the
other side might knock or beg. But given
enough time, there may be good reason
to let someone back into your life. That
doesnt mean you need to open the door
wide and give them an all-access pass to
your life, but crack the window and chat
a bit. If you conclude that nothings
changed and keeping your distance is still
the right thing to do, then at least youll
know. But there was a reason this person
was in your life before. If the reasons you
cut them off are mostly gone, maybe
therell be good reason to let them back
into your life again.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Humor people. Its not as big a deal for
you, either way, as it is for them, so just
do what they want you to do. Sure, its a
drag, and theres a line you might not
want to cross, but youre not even close
to that line right now. In the name of
being the peacemaker and diplomat
youre supposed to be, just suck it up and
cheerfully do the stuff they want. The
good karma you reap may not come back
to you this week or even this month
but itll come back. On the other hand,
refusing to accommodate them could
spell huge negative repercussions and
those wont wait long to strike.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
So often in life, were forced to spend
time with people we dont particularly
like or get along with. Whether work,
family or friends require it, part of being
a reasonable adult is getting over it. That
doesnt mean you need to lie or be tre-
mendously insincere, but your obligation
to those you do love is to not behave so
badly that they feel uncomfortable that
means sucking it up, being polite and
getting over yourself long enough so that
everyone else, at least, can have a good
time and once you stop focusing on
how annoyed you are, you might surprise
yourself by having a good time, too.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Dont go negative. Even though its
occasionally funny when people talk shit
about each other, doing so doesnt reflect
well on you. Resist the urge to participate
in a smear campaign of any kind this
week, even if it seems like it might bene-
fit you or yours in some way. When ev-
eryone else plays dirty, the more you can
keep your hands clean the better. Pointing
fingers may very effectively bring some-
one else down but to drag someone
down you usually need to be below them.
Let them fling all the shit they want if
you dont retaliate, youll still come
through it smelling (mostly) like roses. W
