What is the worst trend in hairstyles you’ve seen?
Letter from the editor
I love it when a plan comes together. Several weeks ago, when Rich Howells came to our weekly staff meeting with the idea about writing a profile on an Archbald barber shop that was on the (bad pun warning) cutting edge of its trade, it was warmly welcomed by each of us in the office. After some hiccups in the schedule postponed our original pursuit of the story, he finally spoke to the co-owners and employee last week. The delay allowed me to find another side of the uptick in barber shop traffic we were hearing about. On Thursday, I found myself on West Market Street in WilkesBarre for an enjoyable meeting with the members of the Sartorio family. The three generations of the Pittston family clearly enjoys what it does, and each member has honed their skills since patriarch Frank Sr. learned it in 1956 in a store on South Franklin Street that no longer exists. I’m fairly certain I’ll be checking out both shops for a shave and a haircut in the coming months. You should, too, if you have the time. Stories like the ones Rich

and I wrote this week are important because, too often, we overlook the things that are right in front of our face. I had been a block away from Sartorio and Sons countless times over the course of my career in Wilkes-Barre and never knew it was there. It’s very easy to miss the obvious, be it a 56-year-old barber shop or the answer to a problem in your regular life. When the right people notice them, they’re rewarding revelations that you always wish you saw sooner. You may understand what I mean more when you pick up next week’s Weekender. Thanks for reading.

Brian Langan, a North Scranton native, performs with Sweatheart at Terminal 5 in NYC as an opener for The Darkness. (Photo by Michel Dussack) I BELIEVE IN A THING CALLED LANGOR “It was awesome. It ruled.” It’s not a surprise reaction from North Scranton native Brian Langan when he’s asked about the Oct. 20 show he played with Sweatheart as one of two opening acts for The Darkness – yes, the band behind “I Believe In A Thing Called Love” – at Terminal 5 in New York City. The venue was one of the biggest Langan, commonly known around northeastern Pennsylvania for his work with The Sw!ms and as Langor, ever played, but he has still learned to appreciate the little things. “There were roadies there to carry our stuff. That was cool,” the current Philadelphia resident said. Langan also performed several songs acoustically with The Darkness including a set at Radio 104.5 FM in Philadelphia. It’s not the first time he has crossed paths with British glam rockers. He dressed the set for the live action footage in the “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us” video earlier this year, and his likeness also appears in the animation provided by painter/ printmaker/drawer and Sweatheart bandmate Thom Lessner. Gigs with Sweatheart have been a constant for Langan since his move to the City of Brotherly Love last December. In addition, he’s working on mixing down a recording session for a tentative Kock 107 album and finishing material he’s written for Langor. One thing he’ll remember about the experience last weekend? “Justin (Hawkins) smells really good,” Langan said of The Darkness frontman. “I don’t know what he wears, but whenever I hang out with him, all of my jackets smell really good.” Keep up with Langan’s varied antics at sweatheartsweats.com or find Langor and Kock 107 on Facebook. ‘BULLY’ SCREENING SET The Anti-Bullying Coalition of Luzerne County will present a screening of the PG-13 version of“BULLY”on Thursday, Nov. 8, at the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts (71 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre).Doors open at 6 p.m. and the 98-minute film will begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are $7 and may be purchased at the Kirby Center box office the day of show. A post-film forum will be held from 8:45-9:30 p.m. and coalition member agencies will have representatives, including trained counselors and caseworkers, for attendees to talk to in the Kirby Center lobby at all times. Bringing the film to WilkesBarre has been a goal for several months, according to coalition manager John Dawe. Community response buoyed after bullying incidents were reported in multiple cases during the last six months at Greater Nanticoke, Hanover, Hazleton, and Pittston Area school districts. “We’ve heard about the challenges involved in dealing with issues around bullying from parents, teachers, school administrators, and kids first hand and are working with all involved to make lasting changes,” said Dawe. ANOTHER WEEKENDER PARTY The Weekender is sponsoring a Halloween bash at Brews Brothers West (75 Main St., Luzerne) on Oct. 27. The event features a live performance by 40 Lb. Head and more. Join the Weekender crew for a costume contest and your chance to win $200 for first prize. The fun starts at 9 p.m., so don’t miss out.

news of the weird

HORSING AROUND Horse show jumping is a longtime Olympics sport, but for the last 10 years, equestrians have been performing in “horseless” show jumping, in which horse courses are run by “riders” on foot (who, by the way, do not straddle broomsticks). According to an October report in The Wall Street Journal, an international association headed by retired pro equestrian Jessica Newman produces at least 15 shows a year, with between 40 to 130 competitors galloping over jumps that vary from two to four feet high (five feet in “Grand Prix” events), with the “riders” graded as if they were on horses (timed, with points off for contacting the rails). Explained Newman about the shows’ success: “It’s just fun to be a horse.” SEXUALITY SEMINAR Malaysia’s Education Ministry has held at least 10 seminars recently to teach parents and teachers how to head off the pesky homosexuality that their kids may be in “danger” of developing. According to officials, sure signs are when boys wear “V-neck” or sleeveless shirts or carry big handbags. For girls, the most obvious sign is “having no affection for boys.” Last year, according to a September Reuters report, the government set up camps specifically to teach “masculine behavior” to “effeminate” boys. DUCK SOUP Championship eaters gobble down hot dogs on New York’s Coney Island, but in August, when a Filipino restaurant in Brooklyn wanted a more ethnic contest, it offered plates of “baluts” -- the Philippine delicacy of duck fetuses. Wayne Algenio won, stuffing 18 down his throat in five minutes. Typically, the baluts have barely begun to develop, sometimes allowing a “lucky” diner to sense in his mouth the crackle of a beak or the tickle of a feather. Since baluts are exotic, they are considered to be (as is often the case in Asia) aphrodisiacs. WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE SNAKES? BEGGARS CAN’T BE CHOOSERS

A September religious festival in Nanchang, China, is a favorite of beggars, as visitors are in a generous mood, but officials expressed concern this year about the increasing hordes of panhandlers harassing the pilgrims. Thus, town officials ordered all festival beggars to be locked up in small cages (too tiny to allow standing) to minimize the hustling. Beggars are free to leave, but then must stay away permanently. Most beggars chose to stay since they still earned more in festival cages than they would have on the street.
Surviving a cobra bite in Nepal is simple, some natives believe. If the victim bites the snake right back, to its death, the venom is rendered harmless. One confident farmer bitten in August in Biratnagar told BBC News that he went about his business normally after fatally biting his attacker and survived only after his family convinced him that perhaps the custom was ridiculous and hauled him to a hospital. PRECIOUS AMBERGRIS In August, schoolboy Charlie Naysmith of Christchurch, England, taking a nature walk near Hengistbury Head beach, came upon a rocklike substance that turned out to be petrified whale vomit -- which, to his surprise, proved worth the equivalent of from $16,000 to $64,000. “Ambergris,” a waxy buildup from the intestines of a sperm whale, produces a foul odor but is valuable commercially for prolonging the scent of a perfume. (Actually, after floating in the sun, on salt water, for decades, the ambergris on the beach was smooth and sweet-smelling.) IN GOD WE TRUST The CIA and the National Security Agency may play roles, but Kentucky’s homeland security law explicitly acknowledges “God” as the key to the war on terrorism. In August, the Kentucky Supreme Court declined to hear atheists’ challenges to the state’s 2002 “legislative finding” that the state’s “safety and security” cannot be achieved without God’s help. A lower court wrote that since the law did not “advance” religion but merely paid “lip service” to a belief in God, it did not violate the separation of church and state doctrine. GHETTO GOLF The Bronx, where nearly onethird of the population lives in poverty, is the poorest of the five New York City boroughs, with per-capita income 70 percent lower than neighboring Manhattan’s. Yet among the city’s most ambitious public works projects under construction is an 18-hole golf course in the Bronx’s Ferry Point Park, estimated to cost the city $97 million, according to a September New York Times report. Furthermore, golf may be losing popularity. The Times reported that rounds of golf in New York City have dwindled (from 880,000 on 12 municipal courses in 1966 to 561,000 on 13 courses in 2011). From the city’s standpoint, it gets a course to be operated by a Donald Trump company and is hoping to build a waterfront esplanade adjacent to the course. FUNNY MONEY Todd Kettler, 37, was arrested in October in Kalamazoo Township, Mich., and charged with robbing a Southfield, Mich., bank five days earlier. The manager of a strip club in the Township had noticed that Kettler was handing women money saturated with red dye, and called the police.

If you want to get to know Aaron Lewis, just listen to “The Road”. On his first full-length album, the Grammy Award nominated, multi-platinum singer, songwriter and guitarist tells one story after another. Echoing traditional country, some of those tales are hilarious and heartwarming, while others are pensive and personal. Nevertheless, they’re all equally powerful, vibrant and unforgettable.

HTC counterparts. Quite the contrary for this one; the RAZR HD’s chassis is among the most well-constructed I’ve encountered – the large 4.7-inch display is nestled into a bezel with a metallic finish, and the rubberized rear case feels strong enough to resist rough handling without damage. Even so, it’s not overly thick at 0.33 inches, comparable to models like the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the iPhone 5, and still fits comfortably into a pocket. The RAZR HD’s display is eyecatchingly clear, featuring 720p resolution and SuperAMOLED technology similar to the latest top-of-the-line Samsung devices. It features the familiar 8 megapixel rear-facing, 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera array, and the rear camera can also capture high definition video. As is typical of new smartphones, it offers 4G LTE Internet capability, which combined with the high-powered processor make Web browsing extremely snappy.

New RAZR HD a substantial smartphone
Motorola’s RAZRline of phones could be defined by the phrase “high performance, low profile.” These devices have been powerful and they’ve been thin. With a dual-core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon CPU, the latest entry in Motorola’s RAZR line – dubbed the RAZR HD – is certainly powerful, but it’s also more substantial than past models. The RAZR HD is thicker than the RAZR MAXX, but it’s also made of considerably sterner stuff than other entries in the lineup. I’ve complained that past RAZR models didn’t seem as well made as their Samsung or

of Loyalty Barber Shop & Shave Parlor (7 Kennedy Dr., Archbald) seem to have walked out of the 1930s and ’40s. Their gauged ears and detailed tattoos from neck to
toe, however, remind you that it’s still 2012. The mix of cultures – traditional barber shops and modern ink – is a trend that co-owner Brian Nardella, 38, observed rising in Northeast
Pennsylvania just a few years ago. “My take on it all kind of stems from getting involved with a certain music scene, like a rockabilly type thing. I started buying old classic cars and going to shows. What I noticed at shows was almost everybody was wearing these very haircuts that we’re
cutting today. That’s what really got me hooked on that,” Nardella recalled. “If you look at the music scene, you’ll even notice guys that used to have long hair are now shedding their long hair for these classic haircuts. I don’t know what the phenomenon is with it, but for a while barbers were dead. Nobody went to barbers. Kids will say, ‘My grandfather goes to a barber.’ …The mohawks are now turning into nice, parted haircuts.” “It used to be one of those things with the rockabilly, psychobilly, hot rod culture. Now, we’ve got lots of hardcore kids that come in here,” co-owner Jim Simon, 33, continued. He noted that the connection between tattooing and barbering may have started when tattooing was banned in New York City because of a hepatitis outbreak decades back, forcing artists to work in secret in the back rooms of barber shops. “It’s all coming full circle. They’re all going back to a ’30s style haircut that their grandfather or great grandfather used to have. We have countless tattoo artists that come in here that are loving the style.” Formerly Big Daddy’s, the shop was taken over, renovated, and reopened by Simon, Nardella, and coowner Joe Siconolfi, 37, in January, its crimson walls covered with framed tattoo art and items from other local businesses. While the job perfectly fits the trio and their steady customer base, their career paths were not always so clear. Siconolfi owned several businesses before Loyalty, Simon was a land surveyor for a civil engineering company and later worked in the gas industry, and Nardella tried careers in law enforcement and graphic design. Anthony Ranella, 33, who was hired at the shop seven months ago, was a union electrician. Now their lives revolve around straight razor shaves, lather, bay rum, and hot towels, specializing in hard parts, whitewalls,

pompadours, high and tights, slicked backs, flattops, and skin fades, among other styles. Siconolfi even developed his own pomade, Olde Anthracite, in two different scents. “Basically, the way I viewed it is I can’t tattoo, I suck with my hands as far as mechanical abilities, and I can’t play an instrument, so to me, this was the next best way to touch every one of those things I enjoyed,” Nardella emphasized.
A haircut is a haircut is a haircut, but I think there’s a lot more involved than just the haircut. There are guys that get something as simple as a crew cut, which any one of us could do, but will specifically wait for me because they want to bulls--t about cars, or they’ll wait for Jim because they want to talk about tattoos or guns.” The shop’s name may have been taken from a friend’s former tattoo parlor, but “Loyalty” wholly describes their faithful customers, who often crack open cold cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon and chat about their shared interests or daily troubles. “It’s OK to be whoever you wanted to be in this
“
environment. The shop is almost like a social club at times because people come here all the time and don’t get cut. They might come once a month, but they’ll come here a couple times a week sometimes just to hang out. They’ll stop by on their way home from work,” Simon explained. Some of their regulars come from Wilkes-Barre, Kingston, Hazleton, Ashley, the Pocono Mountains, and as far away as New York and New Jersey. “We barely advertise. It’s all by word of mouth. We pride ourselves on the quality of the work, and that’s why people keep coming here… We’ve gained so many friends;
they’re so great. It’s like not even being at work some days,” Simon continued. “It was super busy one day, and we were turning them out. I was cutting this guy’s hair and he was b--ching that the wait wasn’t long enough,” Ranella added with a laugh.
t is more than just a profession, they insist – it’s a lifestyle. “I think we’re even staying loyal to the trade. We’re doing it the way that it was done 100 years ago. Traditional barbering – straight razor

head shaves, face shaves, neck shaves. We’re sticking to classic haircuts that will never go out of style,” Simon acknowledged. “I wouldn’t go to a barber shop when I was a kid because it was where my uncle and my dad and my grandfather went. They were awesome at cutting hair, but they didn’t know the current styles. If I wanted spiky hair in the ’80s, I got a flattop. “You couldn’t go to an 80-year-old barber and be like, ‘The singer for Gaslight Anthem – did you see his haircut? That’s what I want it to look like!’ I know exactly what you’re talking about. The culture is such a huge aspect of it.”
“The owner of The Bog (in downtown Scranton) made the joke that he could spot our haircuts there a mile away,” Nardella added. “It’s interesting that we’re kind of building our own niche.” W

Before Loyalty Barber Shop’s scheduled interview with The Weekender, co-owner Joe Siconolfi was unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer and has been unable to work. To help him pay for his medical bills, their close friends at the Electric City Tattoo Gallery (620 Spruce St., Scranton) will hold a benefit Nov. 4 from noon until the last tattoo is finished. A sheet of designs, drawn by artists from several shops volunteering their time, will be posted, with each costing $50. A straight razor enthusiast and “fanatic” about shaving, Siconolfi collects blades, soaps, razor strops, special brushes, and even restored a 1910 barber chair that sits in the corner of the shop. “His razor collection is something for a museum. It’s ridiculous,” co-owner Jim Simon described. “It’s a huge part of his life. He got other people into it as well.” Noting his “largerthan-life personality,” humor, and strength, Simon referred to his friend as “the heart of the shop.” “I’ve never seen someone more committed to barbering than Joe. I can’t imagine him doing anything else.” For more info on the benefit, visit facebook.com/events/510500972310699/.

Barber shop founder Frank Sartorio Sr., of Pittston, gives his grandson, Frank Jr., a close shave in the Sartorio and Sons Barber Shop in Wilkes-Barre. (Photo by Amanda Dittmar)
By Christopher J. Hughes Weekender Editor
straight razor shave and a great haircut aren’t new trends at Sartorio & Sons Barber Shop (25 W. Market St., Wilkes-Barre). It’s been business as usual for the last 56 years. The business was born of father Frank Sartorio Sr.’s work with a barber located at 15 S. Franklin St. after his arrival in the United States from Tunisia in 1956. The patriarch of Italian descent was cutting hair at age 13, his sons explained. Learning how to administer a proper shave with a straight razor through his time in that Wilkes-Barre shop, the 85-yearold has now passed the trade on
A
PAGE 18
to his sons Pete, 58, and Aldo, 54, along with his grandson, Frank Sartorio, Jr., 31. The specialty service is one that Sartorio’s is happy to offer. “In the old country, we had more shaves than haircuts,” Frank Sr. said. “Over here, the barbers don’t want to do it because they spend too much time with the razor, and it costs more. They don’t want it, but we love it.” It’s easy to feel like family as the three generations of Sartorios crack wise against each other. When asked why straight razor shaves are growing in popularity, Frank Jr. chimed in. “If you’re letting an 85-year-
old man shave your face, it’s like a thrill seeking thing. It’s like bungee jumping,” he joked with his grandfather. In truth, the service is a “cheap luxury” that is experiencing a boom in northeastern Pennsylvania, the Pittston-based Sartorios agreed. “Anybody can go home and shave quickly with their Acras and everything else. We could never compete with how fast and how easy you can do it,” Pete said. “When you come here and you’re getting a shave, you’re getting a hot towel and relaxing. You’re being pampered.” Don’t be fooled by the word “pampered,” though. This is not a beauty shop. “This is a man’s way of getting pampered,” Pete continued. “You’re getting an
old-time shave, and you come out feeling great when you leave, which you can’t do for yourself.” “College kids are starting to get it more and more, too,” added Frank Jr. “That’s more recent, though. When I first started working here, you guys were barely doing any college kids, shave-wise.” Aldo joked that a stop at Sartorio’s is good for more than eliminating a five o’clock shadow. “It also helps get rid of a hangover, and college kids get hangovers,” the Meshoppen resident said of the hot towel treatment. The shave starts with a lubricating cream – “The razor has to glide across the face,” Pete explained. “The less friction, the better. It also
softens the beard.” – followed by a hot towel, hot lather, and the shave itself. Disappearing cream helps clean up any razor burn, and the process ends with another hot towel. “Then we tell them to go home!” Frank Sr. joked. The shave, lasting an average of 30 minutes, costs $15. Add a haircut for another $15 for a new look in about an hour. A stable of regular customers keeps the chairs at Sartorio’s full, and the family keeps conversation lively. “You can come in here and forget about what’s outside. We give them our problems so that way they can forget about their own,” Aldo said, jokingly. Working with family, he added, is a blessing. “I can’t imagine it any other way.” Pete spoke in amazement about his father’s return to the shop four months after undergoing brain surgery in February. “Look at him. He’s better than ever,” Pete said. “That’s because they finally put one in,” quipped longtime employee Maggie Domant. Domant has worked at Sartorio’s since 1989 following the closure of her Fashion Beauty Salon inside the now defunct Hotel Sterling. Frank Sr. never imagined sharing the trade with family when he started learning it all in 1956. “It’s a pleasure to work with them,” he said. “My dad is the shop,” Pete said. “Even when he leaves the shop, he’s still here. When you have a guy like that that started the shop, everyone respects him. He’s amazing.” W

Weekender Staff Writer
Never ones to settle for a regular concert, The Great Party will join Shayfer James and Patrick Finnerty for The Vintage Masquerade at The Vintage Theater (326 Spruce St.,Scranton) on Oct. 26, a night that promises “music, masks, and perhaps a bit of mischief.” In you’re unsure of what to wear to the event, or for Halloween in general, the Ameripop band, which just released a video for “Teresa” off their self-titled EP, offered some holiday fashion advice to Weekender readers.

Bassist Matt Mang: “This upcoming show reminded me how simple but unique a masquerade mask can be. With so many different styles, they can be any combination of sexy, grotesque, funny, scary, and they’re always mysterious. Grab one that has the effect you want to convey, match it with some black garb, and get ready for some ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ freakiness. “Sometimes it’s more memorable not to have an answer to ‘Who are you supposed to be?’ and get a little whacky. In the video for our song ‘Teresa,’ Mike Nordberg and I wore Speedos, eye patches and tube socks to become ‘The Tubesock Twins.’ Grab a couple random things to wear and maybe make up a name and story behind it as you go.”
Vocalist/keyboardist Rosaleen Eastman: “When all else fails, I ‘Roy G Biv.’ Just go through your clothes and pick out one article to represent each color of the rainbow. Rainbow suspenders can’t hurt. This can also become a group costume, everyone representing one color. “I also like costumes within costumes. For example, if you plan on trick-or-treating as Salma Hayek, why not be her dressing up like a bodybuilder for Halloween? Ladies who like to don ‘sexy’ costumes ( i.e. sexy cop, sexy nurse, sexy firefighter, sexy Little Red Riding Hood) might find themselves getting a bit more attention going as a sexy toll booth operator, a sexy janitor, or a sexy female Magnum, P.I. Don’t forget the ’stache.”
Keyboardist/guitarist Mike Nordberg: “One really can’t go wrong with a superhero or scary costume. Ghost, ghoul, goblin, and zombie outfits seem to really get people in the mood. My favorite costume of all time has to be ‘the windy man.’ Dress up in normal clothes and then skew everything to the side using coat hangers, wire or whatever rigid material is around. Extra hold hairspray and a staggered walk really bring it home; an open briefcase or inside out umbrella gets extra points. “It’s not always easy to play an instrument whist dressed in costume, though. Gloves, masks, and anything that reduces mobility are pretty much off the table, but I’ll figure something out.”
Vocalist/guitarist Mike Eastman: “Well, I would love to catch some ‘Teresa’ sightings out there from our video. Let’s see how many of you can pull of my sexy curves. (Pictured left.) “Other than that, I love clever cheap. Have some fun with it! Once I went as a Halloween all-star. I just

ALBUM REVIEWS
Dave Stewart a true ringmaster of talent
Perhaps better known for his work with other artists than his solo output, Dave Stewart’s been a music business workhorse. He’s probably best known as the writer/producer/musical figurehead behind Annie Lennox’s voice in the Eurythmics. Stewart’s also famously penned Tom Petty’s 1985 hit “Don’t Come Around Here No More” among many others, and shadowed mid-career guidance to artists like Bono and Jon Bon Jovi - Stewart’s gift for musical direction is unparalleled. Here, he balances powerful guest spots with his own mostly blue-eyed soul vision to present a veritable resume of sonic craftsmanship. From Joss Stone’s reckless testifying on the bombastic “I Got Love,” to the warmth and whispered glow of the Allison Krauss duet “Drowning In The Blues,” Stewart melds his personal tastes to the abilities of his collaborators with precision and inventiveness. Look no further for evidence of this than on the Orianthi-
accompanied cut, “Girl In A Catsuit,” where Stewart’s penchant for easygoing, mid-tempo grooves collides in a deliciously violent discharge with the young shredder’s stratospheric guitar licks. Stewart’s no slouch sans bigname accompaniment. His gentile solo-piano ballad “You Took My Love” aches with the same heartsick quality that made Bob Dylan’s “Time Out of Mind” so memorably love-scarred. His tongue-in-cheek “New Song For Nashville” takes on the lack of whisky-hearted substance in contemporary Country music (“I like the way I’m feeling here, kind of goes with my tattoos”). Getting by with a little help from his friends but still able to steal the spotlight, Dave Stewart proves why he’s one of the most talented of musical chameleons.

RATING:
WWWW
Dave Stewart ‘The Ringmaster General’
It’s the follow-up to his Grammynominated R&B album, 2009’s “Transition,” and it’s a fine demonstration of the singer’s skills — his rap skills. Kicking off with some rock star momentum, Leslie gives us “Glory,” a humble, but epic track speaking directly to those who underestimate his musical ability. Frankly, he doesn’t care, and it sounds good. Leslie wrote and produced the entire rap album, which includes high-profile guests like Kanye West and Fabolous, who appears on the remix of the first single, “Beautiful Lie.” The piano intro is one you could listen to over and over. As the Harvard graduate gets deeper into his new sound, he doesn’t hold back on his modesty. On “5 Minute Freshen Up,” he spits: “And it feels good, that’s how I know I made it, overpaid at the same time as I’m underrated.” If you’re down, “Ups and Downs” will surely send you up. Another highlight comes from “Dress You to Undress You,” which samples Sharon “Terea” Robinson’s “Pretty Bird.” Leslie’s sensuous voice accompanied with guitar riffs make a seductive match.
The Swellers ‘Running Out of Places to Go EP’ Rating: W W W W
Swellers tease greatness with new EP
A sure sign that a band is getting bigger and better is when its songs start to evolve and every track on a release becomes an instant favorite, rather than just a handful. The Swellers, a four piece punk rock band from Flint, Mich., have reached that point in its musical career.
After releasing what most considered the group’s best album to date last year, “Good For Me,” The Swellers have selfreleased a 5-track EP titled “Running Out of Places to Go.” Maybe it’s the lyrical angst in the opener “Hands” or how the group changes time signatures on the second track, “Let Me In.” Maybe, its the way each song makes you want to break out into a circle pit. Whatever it is, “Running Out of Places to Go” is a sure milestone for The Swellers. The title-track is where the band truly shows how far it has come — in more ways than one. The track starts slow, grabbing attention, and builds up in true Swellers fashion. The lyrics on the other hand, seem to fit the band’s current state: grateful for the hard work paying off but exhausted from it as well. The most impressive aspect of this new EP is the fact the group has taken a somewhat common sound, mastered it, and made it its own. It feels as if they kept these songs off of “Good For Me” to perfect them. “Running Out of Places to Go” has plenty to keep fans excited but leaves them wanting a full-length of more of these kinds of tunes soon.
Ryan Leslie ‘Les Is More’ Rating: W W W W
Ryan Leslie top-notch on first rap album
Ryan Leslie, whose production credits include Cassie’s “Me & U” and Fabolous’ “You Be Killin Em,” proves he’s a modern-day maestro with his third album, “Les Is More.”

movie review
Weekender Correspondent
By Mike Sullivan
Rating: W Allen isn’t any different from every creepy kid from a horror movie. He openly schemes with imaginary friends, he aimlessly wanders around the house at night, and he even paints ritualistic symbols on the upper body of the family’s adopted son.
future (an odd idea that the filmmakers refuse to explore), Allen isn’t any different from every creepy kid from a horror movie. He openly schemes with imaginary friends, he aimlessly wanders around the house at night, and he even paints ritualistic symbols on the upper body of the family’s adopted son. Oddly enough, the only family member to notice Allen’s naked weirdness is Kathryn Newton who, along with her thoroughly loathsome boyfriend (Matt Shively), set up a series of webcams throughout the house to help figure out what’s going on. A jump scare in a horror movie is like a fart gag in a comedy. It’s an admission of defeat. A jump scare exists because the filmmakers couldn’t think of anything legitimately frightening or atmospheric to put on the screen so they just said, “Screw it! Let’s just make the front door slam really loud.” For 84 minutes, “Paranormal Activity 4” is nothing but cats suddenly jumping into frame, car horns honking, and women shouting “Hello” for no particular reason. The film leans heavily on jump scares because it has nothing else. Unlike the original “Paranormal Activity,” “Paranormal Activity 4” never strays too far from the hoary cliches of a haunted house movie. Yet again, we’re presented with a group of people too stupid to pack up their bags and take an unplanned vacation the moment the weird demon child gropes them in their sleep or causes the kitchen knives to float around. In addition, the film’s lo-fi aesthetics and penchant for long, drawn-out pauses makes it resemble a more grating than usual mumblecore film, albeit one with a demon haphazardly CGI-ed into the film’s final seven seconds. Indifferently directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman (who also gave us the smug fakeumentary “Catfish”), “Paranormal Activity 4” makes you long for the days when the “Saw” franchise was still pumping out unwanted sequels. As useless as the “Saw” series might have been, at least those movies weren’t boring. W
Hide your kids and hide your wife from creepy kids like Allen in ’PA4.’
Little activity in 'Paranormal Activity 4'
It’s only been three years since the original “Paranormal Activity” was released to theaters and it’s interesting to see how badly the film has aged within such a limited time frame. Partly that’s due to the onslaught of copycats and creatively unwarranted sequels that co-opted and ultimately watered down “Paranormal Activity’s” found footage gimmick. But mostly it’s due to the fact that “Paranormal Activity” really wasn’t that good to begin with. Sure, the film had its moments, but that’s all it had – a few select moments. Everybody loves the scene when Katie Featherston is standing ominously over her on-screen boyfriend as he sleeps, but did everybody really enjoy the pure, unfettered tedium that led up to that iconic moment? Did you really enjoy all of those endless static shots of faces staring blankly into security cameras? You didn’t, and you’re not going to like “Paranormal Activity 4” because it’s heavy on blank stares and light on the scary. Basically “The Omen” if it was told entirely from the perspective of some a--hole on Skype who won’t stop talking about Facebook status updates, “Paranormal Activity 4” revolves around a suburban family from Henderson, Nev. who take in a weird kid (played by Brady Allen) from across the street when his mother is hospitalized under mysterious circumstances. With the exception of his magical fork that predicts the

novel approach
Sailing oceans of consequence
By Kacy Muir
Weekender Correspondent
In M. L. Stedman’s well-crafted debut, “The Light Between Oceans,” she takes readers on a journey of choice and consequence. Like a lighthouse shining its way into the night, the novel emphasizes that the decision between right and wrong can change from visible to vague in an instant. Set during the late 1920s, the novel follows a chance connection between protagonists and couple, Tom and Isabel Sherbourne. After Tom accepts a position as the lighthouse keeper, he and Isabel leave the mainland for Janus Rock in Western Australia. The island may be isolated, but the lighthouse offers everything Tom and Isabel need. It becomes their refuge in the rough months ahead — through every unruly tide and storm. Isabel is kind, brave and, above all, maternal. But, after a series of miscarriages, Isabel grows distraught and preoccupied with grief. Tom, as supportive as he can be, can no longer improve her sense of loss, prompting his guilt. Here, as a reader, we feel a definite attachment to the characters. We feel connected to their loss and their attempts to do the right thing. But, the journey to that decision is not always black and white. At the lighthouse, Tom takes meticulous record of every regular and irregular occurrence. But when a miracle drifts ashore, his and Isabel’s lives change forever. The cries of a baby echo in through the windows. Having been the only people on the island for months on end, Isabel first contemplates if her mind is playing tricks on her. But, Tom also hears the noise, deciding to flee to the shoreline for further inspection. As Tom moves towards the

‘The Light Between Oceans’ By M.L. Stedman Rating: W W W W small boat, the cries amplify. There, he finds a man days past help. He moves him, checking for signs of life only to find one survivor — a crying baby wrapped in nothing but a ladies blouse. The decision to keep the child weighs heavily on both characters. While Tom immediately feels the authorities should be contacted, he finds Isabel smiling as if transformed into the woman she was destined to become. Tom and Isabel make the choice to keep the child, naming her Lucy. She becomes the bond that strengthens the relationship between them. While Stedman wants readers to believe the story has already started, it is not until two years pass and the family returns to the mainland that the plot truly begins to unfurl. “The Light Between Oceans” develops into two very different stories told from one shore to the next. We conclude the novel with Tom’s retrospection: “Soon enough the days will close over their lives, the grass will grow over their graves, until their story is just an unvisited headstone.”

'Minions' bring protoncharged performances
By Rich Howells
Weekender Staff Writer
If any cult following can rival that of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” it may just be “Ghostbusters.” But a live shadow cast of New York’s favorite parapsychologists? That may just be crossing the streams. It’s a risk that Minions of Gozer producer/creator Angela Williams was willing to take, and it wouldn’t be the first time. Barred as a child from seeing a film containing evil spirits in her religious home, she fearlessly watched the film again and again as a teenager. “It was a love affair immediately. Besides getting to watch this movie that was sort of banned in my house, which was really exciting, I probably wouldn’t realize until much later all the nuances of the film – great comedy, the awesome portrayal or New York in the 1980s, which I love still,” Williams explained in a recent phone interview. “When I saw it, it was everything I hoped it would be… I think it was the combination of something so scary with all the comedy. It was this scary, evil thing presented in this hilarious way. I also, from my teenage years, I loved Egon. I had a big crush on Egon.” While taking a walk with her future husband one day, the 36year-old Bronx resident came upon the iconic Ghostbusters firehouse on North Moore Street in New York City and decided to start organizing tours with friends of many of the 1984 film’s shooting locations. “It was the greatest feeling ever. It totally cheered me up on a cold, gray day,” she recalled. “Wishing I could have that feeling a lot more often, being in this movie that made me so happy, I just started thinking about how to do that for other people, and that sort of lead to the idea of showing the movie and bringing a lot of the elements of the movie to life.” Named after the movie’s supernatural villain from another dimension, Minions of Gozer spent about a year in development, creating buzz online and getting many people interested in the first auditions.

ENTERTAINMENT REPORT
Bruno Mars may be receiving rave reviews following his hosting gig last weekend on “Saturday Night Live,” but the singer still isn’t taking himself too seriously. “Yeah, this is my launching pad,” a somewhat serious Mars said on “The Ralphie Show,” before veering off. “I’m out of the music business. Me and Tom Hanks are doing a movie.” Hanks, who happened to be in New York on a promotional tour of his own, ended up lending a cameo to Mars’ “SNL” episode – to which the “Grenade” singer admitted he was nervous about. All kidding aside, Bruno revealed he would only consider pursuing a film career if it happened organically. “Music is my thing, man,” he said. “I’ll leave the acting to the pros.” Mars doesn’t know what spurred Lorne Michaels and company to ask him to host the legendary show but thinks it worked out well. It also serves as a perfect kick off of touring to promote his new album, “Unorthodox Jukebox,” due out Dec. 11. Now that the album is finished, Mars can concentrate on press for the LP, such as the aforementioned “SNL” gig and his forthcoming performance on the “Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.” “Yeah, we got asked to do that,” Mars said. “That’s gonna be fun!” When asked if he was looking forward to meeting any of the models, Mars froze, before eventually answering the question in a round-about way. “I’ve seen the show before and I’m excited for the way they put the shows together and how good the stage looks; more important than the beautiful women,” Mars said, with a straight face no less. “I’m lying!” Mars exclaimed only seconds later to a room full of laughter. If there was ever a time Mars was going to get serious, that clearly was not going to be it. DAUGHTRY KEEPING BUSY It has been a whirlwind of a

Bruno Mars almost kept a straight face when asked about his upcoming gig at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. week for the band Daughtry. On Sunday the fellas played a soldout Count Basie Theater in Red Bank, NJ. The following morning, it was off to NBC’s “Today.” “Night shows are always very different than morning shows,” explained Daughtry during an appearance on “The Ralphie Show.” “A lot of times, morning shows aren’t really garnered toward full band set-ups.” For example: Chris was only backed by a couple of acoustic guitars during Monday morning’s TV appearance. Usually for the late night shows, Daughtry can “hide behind all the noise” of a full band. “I think singing that early in the morning generally is scary, especially after doing a show the night before,” Daughtry admitted. “You’re normally not ready for that, so you have to get up five hours earlier just so you can kind of ease in to it.” Things didn’t slow down for the crew after Monday though. On Tuesday, Chris and Elvio Fernandes – a touring member of the band – fulfilled a handful of promotional obligations throughout New York City. Why Elvio and not a proper member of the band? Everyone else was in rehearsal for upcoming tour dates – including this week’s performance in Dubai, which the band left for on Wednesday evening.

Scranton artists, crafters building brands online
United effort behind ScrantonMade culminates with mid-Nov. e-commerce site launch By Christopher J. Hughes
Weekender Editor
A resolution upheld by one Scranton business owner is set to benefit other area artists, crafters, and designers. “My New Year’s resolution was to spend 50 percent of my time selling and learning how to sell online. Chrissy (Manuel) and I kind of dove right in to learning everything we could,” explained GreenBeing owner Cristin Powers, 29, of Scranton. Instead of simply managing entries on her Etsy shop when items in the 334 Adams Ave. store would sell, Powers began to realize the power of an online marketplace as she continued a consignment agreement with Manuel, 36, the Scranton owner of the Shoplift store at etsy.com. The duo developed the ScrantonMade brand with the help of 22-year-old Scrantonian Samantha Nardelli, a graphic design student at Marywood University who is expected to receive her bachelor’s degree this spring. The hand-drawn fonts and Scranton skyline fit hand-in-hand with the carefully crafted goods that the logo promotes. Launched with several blog posts beginning in August, ScrantonMade (scrantonmade.com, scrantonmade.blogspot.com) will open an online marketplace with eight initial artists in mid-November. Artists behind the venture are Jenn Bell, creator of copper and enamel tiles; Annie Cadden of Fisher Cat Fiber Co., who crafts rugs from recycled materials; Kathie and Amanda Fox of the vegan soap and body product shop Fanciful Fox (342 Adams Ave., Scranton); Alicia Grega, who will contribute Scrantonbased accessories and printed tiles; Matt Hiller, a letterpress artist from Revival Letterpress; Valerie Kiser, a fiber artist specializing in hand printed T-shirts; Nardelli’s screen prints of the Scranton skyline and bound books; and Powers’ handmade accessories that are common to shoppers of GreenBeing. Powers’ initial inclination towards e-commerce may have started with a simpler goal, but she and Manuel were inspired to create the opportunity after attending a recent handmade gift fair. “Chrissy and I have been brainstorming back and forth for a while about doing something. We did a show – BUST (Magazine) Craftacular in New York City – and doing shows like that, it’s just a one day event where you’re paying all of this money and lugging your stuff. We wondered, ‘What could we do that’s
From left, Chrissy Manuel, Cristin Powers, and Samantha Nardelli are three of the creative minds behind ScrantonMade, an emerging online marketplace. longer than one day where we can combine forces with other local artists and offer our products?’” Powers said. Originally, they planned a simple holiday marketplace but quickly wondered why they should limit themselves to just a few months each year. “We’re interested in finding ways for artists to sustain themselves and make art for a living,” Manuel explained. “We’re excited about how much interest we’ve gotten, and each person brings their own customer base with them. It’s been great for us to share that.” Just as GreenBeing and Fanciful Fox have helped build a destination for handmade goods downtown, collaborators behind ScrantonMade hope the online shop will be a place where people point their browsers. The storefronts aren’t going anywhere, either. Established brick and mortar shops won’t be replaced any time soon by owners huddled behind their computer screens. “We want to still continue to do things in the community, not just online,” Manuel emphasized. “We’re so rooted in the community, even though we’re online.”
This rug made of recycled materials is just one example of the works of Annie Cadden that will be featured online in mid-November. In fact, the ScrantonMade crafters will participate in the “Buy Local Holiday Marketplace” at the Scranton Cultural Center (420 N. Washington Ave., Scranton) on Nov. 25. The ScrantonMade blog will continue to feature new artist biographies, DIY project ideas, artist and small business resources, event information, and more. Artists interested in joining the effort may have an opportunity to apply after the new year, Powers said. ScrantonMade online marketplace: Launching mid-November at scrantonmade.com, featuring works from Jenn Bell, Annie Cadden, Kathie and Amanda Fox, Alicia Grega, Matt Hiller, Valerie Kiser, Samantha Nardelli, and Cristin Powers.

Phoenix rises over poor career choices
Is it just me or is it strange to have Joaquin Phoenix amongst the living once again? Hollywood gossip circles have been busy discussing Phoenix’s recent comments ripping the Academy Awards, but it’s his performance in Paul Thomas Anderson’s “The Master” that has my attention. Where has this wonderful actor been over the last few years? Oh yes, that’s right – pretending to throw his career away while almost actually throwing his career away. As you may recall, Joaquin thought it would be awesome to announce his “retirement” from acting in 2008 by growing a ridiculous beard to match the rat’s nest on his head, wearing sunglasses constantly, and becoming a drugged-up rapper managed by Sean Combs. A bewildering “Late Show with David Letterman” appearance sealed the ruse as Casey Affleck began filming “I’m Still Here,” a documentary of this transformation that the pair later admitted was actually a mockumentary. If you attempted to sit through this drivel, you’d find that while he is a great performer, Andy Kaufman he is not. I wasn’t fooled, as it all seemed just too staged for the veteran thespian, but I wasn’t too happy with him either. Like many people, I enjoyed his Academy Award-nominated roles of Commodus in “Gladiator” and Johnny Cash in “Walk the Line,” but I first took note of his abilities in Philip Kaufman’s “Quills,” inspired by the infamous Marquis de Sade. Phoenix plays the Abbe du Coulmier, a holy man who hopes to lead the author away from temptation while fighting his own sexual urges. The film may be historically inaccurate, but I always viewed it as the story of the Marquis if he had a chance to write it, and embellish it, himself. Its messages regarding freedom of speech

Infinite Improbability
Joaquin Phoenix’s ill-fated appearance on "The Late Show with David Letterman" could have been the beginning of the end of his career. (AP Photo/CBS, J.P. Flio) and religious hypocrisy ring true despite its exaggerations, so as it stuck with me, so did Phoenix. “Clay Pigeons,” “The Yards,” “Buffalo Soldiers” – I was really enjoying this guy. I even forgave him for M. Night Shyamalan’s “Signs” – he probably thought it was going to be good like “The Sixth Sense,” too. Considering his battle with alcoholism and his brother River’s untimely passing due to a drug overdose in 1993, you would think he’d had his share of real substance abuse in his life. But no, he decided to flush his career to say what, exactly, with his fake stupor in “I’m Still Here”? That he could make poop jokes? That he could fool fans and critics with a performance that’s not even watchable or entertaining? I admire people who take artistic risks, but this was worse than just doing a bad movie – this was breaking trust with your audience, a gamble that seemed to pay off with no one. He admitted in recent interviews that it has been tough for him to find work since. Distracted by all the great films we were treated to this year, I simply forgot about the oddly-named “artiste” until “The Master” started pulling in solid reviews. They had me at P.T. Anderson and Philip Seymour Hoffman, but would this film also be Joaquin’s grand return to real cinema? This I had to see. Like his namesake rising from the ashes, Phoenix is brilliant as Freddie Quell, a World War II veteran with mental issues who crosses paths with Lancaster Dodd, a cult leader obviously based on Scientology founder and all-around nutjob L. Ron Hubbard, who attempts to bring him into “The Cause.” The irony of Phoenix winning audiences back with a role as a meandering drunk isn’t lost on me, but watching these two greats play off each other is inspired filmmaking, an art form I’m glad to see him return to. From talking out the side of his mouth for over two hours to randomly breaking into fits of impulsive violence, he completely owns this role, giving us a protagonist that’s sympathetic one minute and repulsive the next. Hoffman is equally deserving of praise, but he had nothing to prove – Joaquin needed to show that he’s still got it. He does, thankfully, but I hope that he keeps it this time. He may not be a fan of the Hollywood system, as he mentioned last week, but if he wants to keep making blockbusters and critical darlings, his next project should continue to involve risk, but maybe one that’s a bit more calculated. Or, at the very least, sane. But hey, I’m glad you’re “still here,” Mr. Phoenix.

Calories from candy can add up quickly. (AP Photo/Dan Goodman)
Don't get tricked by holiday treats
Halloween could be considered the start of the holiday season. For those of you trying to keep your waistlines in check, this could be a tough time of year. But don’t fret. Arm yourself with some “tricks” to keep yourself from overindulging in the “treats”. Here are some easy tips you can implement to make the next three months more manageable. Be realistic. While it may be ideal to be on more of a “weight maintenance” phase over the holiday season, I typically try to inspire my clients to make serious progress over the next 90 days. Instead of anticipating a gain, empower yourself and commit to excellence. Don’t let the holidays control you or dictate your weight. This year, work toward losing ten pounds and start 2013 ahead of the game. Don’t buy the Halloween candy you like. If you are concerned about your weight, buying the treats you enjoy is only setting yourself up for failure. Instead, buy candy you don’t like. This way you’ll be less tempted to hit the loot when no one is looking. Don’t be over generous. Don’t do the kids any favors by handing out too many treats. While you may think you are being kind, all you’re doing is filling their bags with sugar, cavities, and calories. Consider handing out healthier pre-packaged snacks like dried fruit, granola bars, or even HalloweenHalloween candy calorie count Hershey Kisses: 26 calories and 8 g carb per kiss. Hershey Kisses with almonds: 23 calories and 2 g carb per kiss. Hershey Kisses with caramel: 21 calories and 3 g carb per kiss. Hershey Candy Corn Kisses: 27 calories and 3 g carb per kiss. Hershey’s Miniature Bars (mixed): average of 42 calories and 5 g carb per bar. M&Ms, plain, Fun size (18 g): 88 calories and 12 g carb.

themed toys or stickers. Temporary tattoos are a good alternative, too. Be real. Allow yourself a few treats, but don’t go overboard. Set a realistic amount of candy you can have daily and commit to the number. Leftover junk should be tossed out. You may think it’s wasteful, but it’s better than being “waist-FULL”. Also, don’t bring the leftovers into work. If your co-workers are trying to watch their calories, don’t be the person who potentially sabotages their efforts. Don’t beat yourself up. If you do go overboard on the M&M’s, it’s not the end of the world. While physical activity can’t erase the calories you consumed, you can offset it with exercise and get back on track.

Inaugural 5K helps raise colon cancer awareness
By Christopher J. Hughes
Weekender Editor
Saturday’s race through the Luzerne County Sports Complex (2009 Wyoming Ave., Forty Fort) will help celebrate the life of a local woman who’s life was cut short by a disease thought to affect only the elderly. The inaugural Steph’s Fall 5K on Oct. 27 begins at 10:30 a.m. Proceeds will benefit the Stephanie GodriJohnston Memorial Scholarship fund, which will be given to a Wyoming Area graduating senior with preference given to a cross country or track and field athlete. Godri-Johnston was 31 when she was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer in Jan. 2011, a discovery that surprised family. “To our knowledge, there isn’t anyone on either side of the family who had colon cancer,” her mother, Mary Godri, of Harding explained. In addition, only two members of her immediate family had breast cancer. “It was just an ‘It can’t be’ kind of a thing. Even now, it’s still very hard to think how this could have happened.” Aside from no direct connection to the disease, GodriJohnston was a very active person, beginning with her time as a cross-country athlete from seventh to 12th grade at Wyoming Area. She also threw the discus, shot put, and javelin at Wyoming Area High School where she still holds the discus record at 102’2”, her father, Ed, have colon cancer… There has to be more awareness that this is not an old person’s disease,” Mrs. Godri said. Since Godri-Johnston’s diagnosis, members of her family have had colonoscopies, which her mother said is a sure way to detect polyps as the beginning of the disease, whether or not you have symptoms. The 15-minute procedure is worth it to determine if you’re sick, she said. “I wouldn’t want to see anybody go through what Stephanie went through.” Colon cancer is not widely discussed, despite the fact that it is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and second leading cause of cancer death in the United States, according to the Colon Cancer Alliance. The Godri family hopes to change that with the beginning of Steph’s Fall 5K, even though Stephanie would probably dismiss all of the fuss. She is still remembered as a loving, giving, selfless person. “I think she would have said, ‘What’s this all about?’” One hundred seventy-three participants had registered by Monday, and registration is open from 8:30-10:10 a.m. on Saturday
Stephanie Godri-Johnston passed away in May at age 32 from colon cancer. said. In hindsight, early signs including rectal bleeding that began in 2009 could have been a clue towards her disease. Godri-Johnston also began to experience continued abdominal discomfort, one symptom described by the Colon Cancer Alliance web site. “The thing is, Stephanie never complained,” Mrs. Godri said. Following a colonoscopy in Jan. 2011, doctors took a biopsy of that mass, and it was discovered that she had stage IV colon cancer. After several rounds of medication and chemotherapy, doctors shrank the once softball-sized tumor, but the “seeds” of the disease had broken through the wall of the intestine and taken root in her abdomen. She passed away on May 10, 2012 at age 32, far younger than the ages commonly associated with the disease. “There are a number of young people, some of them even in their late teens, that

he holidays are coming up and it looks like I’m going to be alone again. All of my friends have significant others. I’m so tired of being alone! Do you have any suggestions for meeting people? I just don’t know how to go about finding the love I’ve been waiting for. -Lonely in Larksville ear Lonely, Don’t you fret. Auntie Estella is here to help. I know people tend to get especially wistful about having a partner around the holidays. The thing to remember is why. It’s all part of the romance of it. The idea of the perfect holiday where you are surrounded by the ones you love and it’s all joy, happiness, and tinsel is most often fiction. The reality is that the holidays are not really like that for most people, and the really important thing to remember is to truly enjoy what you do have. So on that note comes my advice for finding a significant other. The best advice is to follow your bliss. Forget most of the advice you’ve heard except the idea of “putting yourself out there.” I just suggest you think about it slightly differently than you may have in the past. When I say to put yourself out there I mean to get out of your routine, get out of whatever shell you are comfortable in and do something different. Think about what you love to do. What gets you psyched? If you love pottery or poetry or drawing, take a class. You will inevitably meet people who are passionate about the same thing. If you attend church or are involved in some community activity, take a position on a committee and again you will

Lonely this holiday season? Estella suggests doing something different that you enjoy, which may lead to more. (Photo by Kat Holland) meet people who care about the same causes you do. Meeting random people in bars is totally hit or miss and may not be the best place to look for the love of your life. You have no idea what they are interested in or looking for. If you meet people based on specific interests, you have a much better chance of finding someone with whom you have something in common. The best part is that, even if you don’t meet the love of your life while following your bliss, your life will have been enriched and, chances are, you’ll be happier for it. You may even end up with a beautiful vase to give Aunt Clara on Christmas. Chances are you will also have made some friends along the way who may introduce you to hot, single potentials! You never know where following your bliss will lead you – up Mount Kilimanjaro or into bed with a Latin lover from salsa class. Regardless of your relationship status, the most important thing to remember this holiday season is “to thine own self be true.” You don’t need a significant other to make your yuletide merry. Surround yourself with the people you love. Alone doesn’t always necessarily have to mean lonely. Think of what you really wish for this holiday season. If you don’t meet the love of your life, it’s not the end of the world. I understand your desire for love. Sometimes the harder you look, the more difficult it may become. Selfconfidence is key when looking for that special someone. As my idol and mentor Ru Paul says, “If you don’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else? Can I get an Amen?” So in the meantime, live the life you love and love the life you live and just do you.

A 20-SOMETHING’S WILD ADVENTURES
Moral compass shifts in 'Dishonored'
I love stealth games, so it is no surprise that “Dishonored” is one of my most anticipated games this year. I first learned about this game when watching the E3 press conference, and I was blown away then. Since June, I have been reading articles and watching trailers in excitement, and this game is definitely worth the wait. “Dishonored “ is a first-person action shooter in the vein of “Bioshock”, but it is centered around sneaking around and killing foes silently. Just like “Bioshock,” one of the most important characters in the game is the setting. Even though it’s no Rapture, the city of Dunwall is a breathtaking environment full of steampunk technology, spacious pathways, and interesting set pieces. The city is modeled after Victorian London, including some recognizable landmarks. It’s not quite as big as “Skyrim,” but it is filled with many interesting places to explore full of shadowy figures, corrupt leaders, supernatural secrets, and plague rats. The story of “Dishonored” follows an assassin named Corvo, the trusted bodyguard of the empress, who was framed for her murder. Now, you seek revenge against all of the people that orchestrated your downfall. Corvo’s allies help by giving you an array of supernatural powers that will help you on your missions. The abilities make the game truly great and open up several play styles and options. The incredible variety of ways you can fight or avoid enemies makes “Dishonored” impressively varied and amazingly captivating. Available powers include “Blink” which essentially lets you teleport to different loca-
Summon a plague of rats with one of your many powers in ’Dishonored.’ tions, “Dark Vision” which lets players see enemy movements through walls and highlights other important objects in the world, and “Agility” which increases jump height and movement speed and reduces fall damage. You can also bend time, call swarms of rats, and even possess people. What really matters is the way you can use the powers. If you are skilled enough, you can decide to play through the game without killing a single person. Of course, if you want you can kill everything that moves, but “Dishonored” has moral consequence. Not only will it affect your ending, it will also impact how other characters will react to you. The thing that makes “Dishonored” so exciting for me is the “Chaos Engine.” This changes events in the game so you can replay them repeatedly and never have the same outcome. Enemies won’t be in the same place, and they won’t behave the same way. There is a mission early in the game at a costume ball where you had to kill one of three sisters, and each time you play the target changes, for example. The game is oozing with ambiance. It has beautifully detailed
Justin on TV? That depends on how well his pitch meeting goes...
Go big or go home
A good friend once told me you have two choices in life: You can either go big, or go home. The advice first came to me when I was backstage before performing stand-up at a Pittsburgh comedy club for some reason only God knows. “I started drinking to loosen up thinking I’d be on early, but I’m on last and I’ve drank way too much to perform!” I said to a friend over the phone. “You’re Justin f--king Brown! You’ll be fine,” my friend advised. “Go big, or go home!” I took the advice and went big when I pulled a beer can and my car keys out of my pocket to shotgun on stage. I got an audience member and the sound equipment wet with lager, and was kicked out, having to go home. I later learned you can’t always go big and go home. “Wanna come to Los Angeles with me?” I asked my British roommate, Joel, who I worked at a Connecticut resort with. “I landed a pitch meeting with a production company interested in possibly turning my column into a reality show! Let’s make it a vacation and hit up Vegas afterwards.” “Count me in!” he insisted. Since our flight was at 6 a.m., we decided it would be a good idea to drink all night until our flight. When we hit up a frat party at my friend’s college that night, Joel was allowed in because he jumped the line with my friend who knew them. They told me no guys were allowed. “Come back!” I texted Joel at my friend’s apartment. He refused. Since he has been known to act like the Scarecrow from “The Wizard of Oz” when he drinks – losing his mind and the stability of his limbs - I was afraid we would get split up for the rest of the night and miss our flight. Drunk and pissed, I decided to unpack his suitcase. It made sense at the time. While wiping beer tears from his face over what I did, Joel booked an immediate flight back to England. I know. That s--t cray. On my way to LA alone, I was so upset that Joel wasn’t coming that I wanted to cry. I didn’t because I have a penis. While he went home, I decided to go big, as I had a meeting scheduled that could change my life...
To kill or not to kill? The game allows you to make changes that affect your moral compass, and a Chaos Engine randomizes missions each time you play. levels, amazing voice work, and an array of vibrant characters that draw you into the intrigue and make you care about the choices you have to make. The mix of amazing visuals, fun game play, and intriguing story make the game something special. If you like FPS action, stealth, and games with moral choices, or if you just like stabbing people in the head, grab “Dishonored,” a title that could definitely be a contender for game of the year.

CADILLAC FLEETWOOD HEARSE Eric and Dave Sweeney Scranton
“I get a kick taking this car around this time of year with my brother,” Eric Sweeney said. “We bought the hearse (used of course) about 12 years ago. We have a fake coffin we put in the back, or sometimes we put funny things back there just to be a little strange. We love taking the hearse to car shows. People always come up and start a conversation.” W

Weekender Correspondent
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) As you concoct what you’re going to wear to your Halloween bash or costumed birthday party, consider dressing as the physical embodiment of your greatest weakness. Be your version of a giant Achilles’ Heel. Why expose yourself? Because even though your virile strength is inarguably sexy, that’s not the part of you that’s shining through this week. Like it or not, your frailties will be painfully obvious—why not flaunt them? If people will see you as a fragile and vulnerable autumn leaf anyway, why hide it? Autumn leaves aren’t just delicate; they’re beautiful, too. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Time is accelerating. I’m sure you’ve noticed how every year slips by a little quicker than the last, and whole weeks blend together into an indistinguishable blur. Don’t let it depress you, not when it could (and should) motivate you. There are ways to dig in your heels against the flow of time and get it to slow down for you, and to keep your months from melting away. One is to keep a journal of the monotony. Another is to end it altogether. How? Make it your deliberate intention, starting right now, to do something different and memorable every single day. Doesn’t have to be big. It’s easier (and more rewarding) than you think. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Never underestimate the value of The Little Things. Remembering to wear the shirt they bought for you the next time you see them, even if you hate it. Include the date and time on your roommate’s phone messages. It might not garner much outward appreciation, but rest assured you’re winning points nonetheless (good karma credit that could come in handy later). When you’re not sure how to communicate what you’re feeling, display how much you’re worth, or show off your practical genius, don’t get stuck trying to think up some grand, dramatic gesture. Little Things are enough. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) You were always the kid least likely to practice kissing on your hand first, because your big sister’s friends taught you how before it had ever occurred to you to try. Your precociousness has gotten you into trouble and pleasure in equal measures, but it’s often hard to predict which one you’re headed for at any given moment. That uncertainty has sometimes caused you to pretend innocence where you had none, or ignorance where you already knew, just in case you’d be puniThe support is undeniably a positive thing, but you might not feel so exhilarated by that aid when you see cousin Emily in the corner spitting and flailing, while Uncle Evan uses his nails and pulls hair. Not that all your allies are such pussies when it comes to sticking up for you. But since you’re not in a position to pick and choose who gets to help you and who doesn’t, you might be better off fighting your own battles this week, especially because you’re perfectly capable of resolving them on your own. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) It’s rumored that Catherine the Great died under a horse, while sating her sexual predilections. Elizabeth I is oft portrayed as an awful, frigid virgin. The powerful men of history don’t fare much better—we hear just as much about clothespins on penises and cross-dressing capers as we do about noble deeds. The point is, wielding power isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Sometimes, boldly doing so results in undue focus on your more human qualities, and not on the (presumably) good work you’re trying to do. To avoid tabloid-style controversy, it might serve your intentions better to quietly rule from behind the scenes instead of grandly flourishing your latest edicts. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Yeah, you’re successful, but are you happy? You’ve transformed nothing into something, wielding only determination and time. But still you feel a little unsettled. It’s because you’re deeper than that. You’re not all about making the money to spend the money to make the money. There’s nothing wrong with that, but there’s more, too. Your latest lessons have taught you that a job isn’t just about the paycheck, and your happiness is predicated on more then income. And now that you don’t have the pressure of basic survival needs holding you down, you’re free to concentrate on feeding other things besides your mouth, like your soul. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Call off the hounds. Tell your bodyguards to take a break. No one will be taking shots at you; therefore, you’re safe from bullets they’d theoretically leap in the way of. In fact, you’re so divinely charmed and safe from harm that to put up any defenses at all will only keep you from the good things you’re due. Take down the barbed wire. Disable the laser alarms. Keep in mind that no matter how many exterior fortifications you remove, you’re hardly helpless on your own. Trust your strength. The more naked and vulnerable you are this week, the better off you’ll be.

shed for your tendency to be a little…advanced. This week, that’s unnecessary. Since the person you’re dealing with is turned off by inexperience, and even more so by fake inexperience, don’t lie. When they ask how many times you’ve been around the block, tell them. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) So far, you’ve resisted sharing your clarity with others. Although you have a clearer picture of your convoluted inner tangle than ever, you’ve found that mostly clueing people into it just scares them. You’re a complicated person, and fully sharing that essential truth might not be your best bet (if you want a life, that is) all across the board. But for anyone truly attempting to navigate that dangerous maze, the road maps you can provide would be invaluable. Once you’ve figured out that someone is willing to negotiate the labyrinth, minotaurs and all, give them every map you’ve got. They’ll give you thanks, along with the severed head of your internal Medusa, later. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) How can someone as fearsomely intimidating and strong as you wither into such a delicate and spineless flower? More easily and quickly than the waxing and waning of the moon, apparently. Your inconsistency is breathtaking. Get it together. You have a duty to your fans, and can’t hide behind moodiness or excuses right now. All interested parties have purchased guides to your heart’s hot spots, like the Star Maps to celebrity homes for sale on Hollywood street corners. If you can’t pull your s--t together for yourself, at least do it for your imminent guests. DingDong! Oops, they’re here.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Where have you been? Your ability to fly under the radar is unparalleled, but it’s still disturbing when you so completely disappear for so long. Not to mention these hints of some heretofore-unprecedented abilities. Your keen social camouflage is well-documented, but replacing your notorious rigidity with newfound flexibility—nice move. What are you, the prodigal progeny of Mr. Plastic and The Invisible Woman? Well? Don’t just stand around while I congratulate you. Your arch-nemesis and his evil cronies haven’t figured out your new status. Knock them out of the picture for once and all—not by kicking their asses, but by befriending them, since you’re in a position to do so now. It’s kind of a stretch, but isn’t that your new specialty? GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) As the most heady of signs (if not always the most rational), you don’t usually have a sense of fatalism. That is, you believe that your conscious free will can keep you from basically becoming your parents. You think astrology is probably all bullshit and that ingenuity and logic (especially working together) can always triumph over emotional or physical obstacles. All of these things are true. Yet every one has an exception as well. Unfortunately, this week is ruled by the exceptions. No, you’re not going to turn into your Mom or Dad. But don’t panic when the things you knew as true turn out to only be mostly true. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) At first, you may be incredibly psyched to have so many people fighting for you.

Imagine for a moment that you can’t buy beer. No ale. No Lager. Not a drop. What might seem hard to fathom today was all too real for Americans after Prohibition became law in 1919. During that time many breweries threw in the towel, leaving their recipes on the shelf to disappear forever. BATCH19 is a revival of that pre-Prohibition style. Inspired by an authentic recipe found in an old brewery logbook that dates back to before Prohibition, BATCH19 has a hoppy, yet surprisingly balanced taste derived from a rare combination of hops. 5.5% ABV, 26 1BU’s

What is the worst trend in hairstyles you’ve seen?
Letter from the editor
I love it when a plan comes together. Several weeks ago, when Rich Howells came to our weekly staff meeting with the idea about writing a profile on an Archbald barber shop that was on the (bad pun warning) cutting edge of its trade, it was warmly welcomed by each of us in the office. After some hiccups in the schedule postponed our original pursuit of the story, he finally spoke to the co-owners and employee last week. The delay allowed me to find another side of the uptick in barber shop traffic we were hearing about. On Thursday, I found myself on West Market Street in WilkesBarre for an enjoyable meeting with the members of the Sartorio family. The three generations of the Pittston family clearly enjoys what it does, and each member has honed their skills since patriarch Frank Sr. learned it in 1956 in a store on South Franklin Street that no longer exists. I’m fairly certain I’ll be checking out both shops for a shave and a haircut in the coming months. You should, too, if you have the time. Stories like the ones Rich

and I wrote this week are important because, too often, we overlook the things that are right in front of our face. I had been a block away from Sartorio and Sons countless times over the course of my career in Wilkes-Barre and never knew it was there. It’s very easy to miss the obvious, be it a 56-year-old barber shop or the answer to a problem in your regular life. When the right people notice them, they’re rewarding revelations that you always wish you saw sooner. You may understand what I mean more when you pick up next week’s Weekender. Thanks for reading.

Brian Langan, a North Scranton native, performs with Sweatheart at Terminal 5 in NYC as an opener for The Darkness. (Photo by Michel Dussack) I BELIEVE IN A THING CALLED LANGOR “It was awesome. It ruled.” It’s not a surprise reaction from North Scranton native Brian Langan when he’s asked about the Oct. 20 show he played with Sweatheart as one of two opening acts for The Darkness – yes, the band behind “I Believe In A Thing Called Love” – at Terminal 5 in New York City. The venue was one of the biggest Langan, commonly known around northeastern Pennsylvania for his work with The Sw!ms and as Langor, ever played, but he has still learned to appreciate the little things. “There were roadies there to carry our stuff. That was cool,” the current Philadelphia resident said. Langan also performed several songs acoustically with The Darkness including a set at Radio 104.5 FM in Philadelphia. It’s not the first time he has crossed paths with British glam rockers. He dressed the set for the live action footage in the “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us” video earlier this year, and his likeness also appears in the animation provided by painter/ printmaker/drawer and Sweatheart bandmate Thom Lessner. Gigs with Sweatheart have been a constant for Langan since his move to the City of Brotherly Love last December. In addition, he’s working on mixing down a recording session for a tentative Kock 107 album and finishing material he’s written for Langor. One thing he’ll remember about the experience last weekend? “Justin (Hawkins) smells really good,” Langan said of The Darkness frontman. “I don’t know what he wears, but whenever I hang out with him, all of my jackets smell really good.” Keep up with Langan’s varied antics at sweatheartsweats.com or find Langor and Kock 107 on Facebook. ‘BULLY’ SCREENING SET The Anti-Bullying Coalition of Luzerne County will present a screening of the PG-13 version of“BULLY”on Thursday, Nov. 8, at the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts (71 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre).Doors open at 6 p.m. and the 98-minute film will begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are $7 and may be purchased at the Kirby Center box office the day of show. A post-film forum will be held from 8:45-9:30 p.m. and coalition member agencies will have representatives, including trained counselors and caseworkers, for attendees to talk to in the Kirby Center lobby at all times. Bringing the film to WilkesBarre has been a goal for several months, according to coalition manager John Dawe. Community response buoyed after bullying incidents were reported in multiple cases during the last six months at Greater Nanticoke, Hanover, Hazleton, and Pittston Area school districts. “We’ve heard about the challenges involved in dealing with issues around bullying from parents, teachers, school administrators, and kids first hand and are working with all involved to make lasting changes,” said Dawe. ANOTHER WEEKENDER PARTY The Weekender is sponsoring a Halloween bash at Brews Brothers West (75 Main St., Luzerne) on Oct. 27. The event features a live performance by 40 Lb. Head and more. Join the Weekender crew for a costume contest and your chance to win $200 for first prize. The fun starts at 9 p.m., so don’t miss out.

news of the weird

Weekender Wire Services
HORSING AROUND Horse show jumping is a longtime Olympics sport, but for the last 10 years, equestrians have been performing in “horseless” show jumping, in which horse courses are run by “riders” on foot (who, by the way, do not straddle broomsticks). According to an October report in The Wall Street Journal, an international association headed by retired pro equestrian Jessica Newman produces at least 15 shows a year, with between 40 to 130 competitors galloping over jumps that vary from two to four feet high (five feet in “Grand Prix” events), with the “riders” graded as if they were on horses (timed, with points off for contacting the rails). Explained Newman about the shows’ success: “It’s just fun to be a horse.” SEXUALITY SEMINAR Malaysia’s Education Ministry has held at least 10 seminars recently to teach parents and teachers how to head off the pesky homosexuality that their kids may be in “danger” of developing. According to officials, sure signs are when boys wear “V-neck” or sleeveless shirts or carry big handbags. For girls, the most obvious sign is “having no affection for boys.” Last year, according to a September Reuters report, the government set up camps specifically to teach “masculine behavior” to “effeminate” boys. DUCK SOUP Championship eaters gobble down hot dogs on New York’s Coney Island, but in August, when a Filipino restaurant in Brooklyn wanted a more ethnic contest, it offered plates of “baluts” -- the Philippine delicacy of duck fetuses. Wayne Algenio won, stuffing 18 down his throat in five minutes. Typically, the baluts have barely begun to develop, sometimes allowing a “lucky” diner to sense in his mouth the crackle of a beak or the tickle of a feather. Since baluts are exotic, they are considered to be (as is often the case in Asia) aphrodisiacs. WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE SNAKES? BEGGARS CAN’T BE CHOOSERS

A September religious festival in Nanchang, China, is a favorite of beggars, as visitors are in a generous mood, but officials expressed concern this year about the increasing hordes of panhandlers harassing the pilgrims. Thus, town officials ordered all festival beggars to be locked up in small cages (too tiny to allow standing) to minimize the hustling. Beggars are free to leave, but then must stay away permanently. Most beggars chose to stay since they still earned more in festival cages than they would have on the street.
Surviving a cobra bite in Nepal is simple, some natives believe. If the victim bites the snake right back, to its death, the venom is rendered harmless. One confident farmer bitten in August in Biratnagar told BBC News that he went about his business normally after fatally biting his attacker and survived only after his family convinced him that perhaps the custom was ridiculous and hauled him to a hospital. PRECIOUS AMBERGRIS In August, schoolboy Charlie Naysmith of Christchurch, England, taking a nature walk near Hengistbury Head beach, came upon a rocklike substance that turned out to be petrified whale vomit -- which, to his surprise, proved worth the equivalent of from $16,000 to $64,000. “Ambergris,” a waxy buildup from the intestines of a sperm whale, produces a foul odor but is valuable commercially for prolonging the scent of a perfume. (Actually, after floating in the sun, on salt water, for decades, the ambergris on the beach was smooth and sweet-smelling.) IN GOD WE TRUST The CIA and the National Security Agency may play roles, but Kentucky’s homeland security law explicitly acknowledges “God” as the key to the war on terrorism. In August, the Kentucky Supreme Court declined to hear atheists’ challenges to the state’s 2002 “legislative finding” that the state’s “safety and security” cannot be achieved without God’s help. A lower court wrote that since the law did not “advance” religion but merely paid “lip service” to a belief in God, it did not violate the separation of church and state doctrine. GHETTO GOLF The Bronx, where nearly onethird of the population lives in poverty, is the poorest of the five New York City boroughs, with per-capita income 70 percent lower than neighboring Manhattan’s. Yet among the city’s most ambitious public works projects under construction is an 18-hole golf course in the Bronx’s Ferry Point Park, estimated to cost the city $97 million, according to a September New York Times report. Furthermore, golf may be losing popularity. The Times reported that rounds of golf in New York City have dwindled (from 880,000 on 12 municipal courses in 1966 to 561,000 on 13 courses in 2011). From the city’s standpoint, it gets a course to be operated by a Donald Trump company and is hoping to build a waterfront esplanade adjacent to the course. FUNNY MONEY Todd Kettler, 37, was arrested in October in Kalamazoo Township, Mich., and charged with robbing a Southfield, Mich., bank five days earlier. The manager of a strip club in the Township had noticed that Kettler was handing women money saturated with red dye, and called the police.

HTC counterparts. Quite the contrary for this one; the RAZR HD’s chassis is among the most well-constructed I’ve encountered – the large 4.7-inch display is nestled into a bezel with a metallic finish, and the rubberized rear case feels strong enough to resist rough handling without damage. Even so, it’s not overly thick at 0.33 inches, comparable to models like the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the iPhone 5, and still fits comfortably into a pocket. The RAZR HD’s display is eyecatchingly clear, featuring 720p resolution and SuperAMOLED technology similar to the latest top-of-the-line Samsung devices. It features the familiar 8 megapixel rear-facing, 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera array, and the rear camera can also capture high definition video. As is typical of new smartphones, it offers 4G LTE Internet capability, which combined with the high-powered processor make Web browsing extremely snappy.

New RAZR HD a substantial smartphone
Motorola’s RAZRline of phones could be defined by the phrase “high performance, low profile.” These devices have been powerful and they’ve been thin. With a dual-core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon CPU, the latest entry in Motorola’s RAZR line – dubbed the RAZR HD – is certainly powerful, but it’s also more substantial than past models. The RAZR HD is thicker than the RAZR MAXX, but it’s also made of considerably sterner stuff than other entries in the lineup. I’ve complained that past RAZR models didn’t seem as well made as their Samsung or

of Loyalty Barber Shop & Shave Parlor (7 Kennedy Dr., Archbald) seem to have walked out of the 1930s and ’40s. Their gauged ears and detailed tattoos from neck to
toe, however, remind you that it’s still 2012. The mix of cultures – traditional barber shops and modern ink – is a trend that co-owner Brian Nardella, 38, observed rising in Northeast
Pennsylvania just a few years ago. “My take on it all kind of stems from getting involved with a certain music scene, like a rockabilly type thing. I started buying old classic cars and going to shows. What I noticed at shows was almost everybody was wearing these very haircuts that we’re
cutting today. That’s what really got me hooked on that,” Nardella recalled. “If you look at the music scene, you’ll even notice guys that used to have long hair are now shedding their long hair for these classic haircuts. I don’t know what the phenomenon is with it, but for a while barbers were dead. Nobody went to barbers. Kids will say, ‘My grandfather goes to a barber.’ …The mohawks are now turning into nice, parted haircuts.” “It used to be one of those things with the rockabilly, psychobilly, hot rod culture. Now, we’ve got lots of hardcore kids that come in here,” co-owner Jim Simon, 33, continued. He noted that the connection between tattooing and barbering may have started when tattooing was banned in New York City because of a hepatitis outbreak decades back, forcing artists to work in secret in the back rooms of barber shops. “It’s all coming full circle. They’re all going back to a ’30s style haircut that their grandfather or great grandfather used to have. We have countless tattoo artists that come in here that are loving the style.” Formerly Big Daddy’s, the shop was taken over, renovated, and reopened by Simon, Nardella, and coowner Joe Siconolfi, 37, in January, its crimson walls covered with framed tattoo art and items from other local businesses. While the job perfectly fits the trio and their steady customer base, their career paths were not always so clear. Siconolfi owned several businesses before Loyalty, Simon was a land surveyor for a civil engineering company and later worked in the gas industry, and Nardella tried careers in law enforcement and graphic design. Anthony Ranella, 33, who was hired at the shop seven months ago, was a union electrician. Now their lives revolve around straight razor shaves, lather, bay rum, and hot towels, specializing in hard parts, whitewalls,

pompadours, high and tights, slicked backs, flattops, and skin fades, among other styles. Siconolfi even developed his own pomade, Olde Anthracite, in two different scents. “Basically, the way I viewed it is I can’t tattoo, I suck with my hands as far as mechanical abilities, and I can’t play an instrument, so to me, this was the next best way to touch every one of those things I enjoyed,” Nardella emphasized.
A haircut is a haircut is a haircut, but I think there’s a lot more involved than just the haircut. There are guys that get something as simple as a crew cut, which any one of us could do, but will specifically wait for me because they want to bulls--t about cars, or they’ll wait for Jim because they want to talk about tattoos or guns.” The shop’s name may have been taken from a friend’s former tattoo parlor, but “Loyalty” wholly describes their faithful customers, who often crack open cold cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon and chat about their shared interests or daily troubles. “It’s OK to be whoever you wanted to be in this
“
environment. The shop is almost like a social club at times because people come here all the time and don’t get cut. They might come once a month, but they’ll come here a couple times a week sometimes just to hang out. They’ll stop by on their way home from work,” Simon explained. Some of their regulars come from Wilkes-Barre, Kingston, Hazleton, Ashley, the Pocono Mountains, and as far away as New York and New Jersey. “We barely advertise. It’s all by word of mouth. We pride ourselves on the quality of the work, and that’s why people keep coming here… We’ve gained so many friends;
they’re so great. It’s like not even being at work some days,” Simon continued. “It was super busy one day, and we were turning them out. I was cutting this guy’s hair and he was b--ching that the wait wasn’t long enough,” Ranella added with a laugh.
t is more than just a profession, they insist – it’s a lifestyle. “I think we’re even staying loyal to the trade. We’re doing it the way that it was done 100 years ago. Traditional barbering – straight razor

head shaves, face shaves, neck shaves. We’re sticking to classic haircuts that will never go out of style,” Simon acknowledged. “I wouldn’t go to a barber shop when I was a kid because it was where my uncle and my dad and my grandfather went. They were awesome at cutting hair, but they didn’t know the current styles. If I wanted spiky hair in the ’80s, I got a flattop. “You couldn’t go to an 80-year-old barber and be like, ‘The singer for Gaslight Anthem – did you see his haircut? That’s what I want it to look like!’ I know exactly what you’re talking about. The culture is such a huge aspect of it.”
“The owner of The Bog (in downtown Scranton) made the joke that he could spot our haircuts there a mile away,” Nardella added. “It’s interesting that we’re kind of building our own niche.” W

Before Loyalty Barber Shop’s scheduled interview with The Weekender, co-owner Joe Siconolfi was unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer and has been unable to work. To help him pay for his medical bills, their close friends at the Electric City Tattoo Gallery (620 Spruce St., Scranton) will hold a benefit Nov. 4 from noon until the last tattoo is finished. A sheet of designs, drawn by artists from several shops volunteering their time, will be posted, with each costing $50. A straight razor enthusiast and “fanatic” about shaving, Siconolfi collects blades, soaps, razor strops, special brushes, and even restored a 1910 barber chair that sits in the corner of the shop. “His razor collection is something for a museum. It’s ridiculous,” co-owner Jim Simon described. “It’s a huge part of his life. He got other people into it as well.” Noting his “largerthan-life personality,” humor, and strength, Simon referred to his friend as “the heart of the shop.” “I’ve never seen someone more committed to barbering than Joe. I can’t imagine him doing anything else.” For more info on the benefit, visit facebook.com/events/510500972310699/.

By Christopher J. Hughes Weekender Editor
straight razor shave and a great haircut aren’t new trends at Sartorio & Sons Barber Shop (25 W. Market St., Wilkes-Barre). It’s been business as usual for the last 56 years. The business was born of father Frank Sartorio Sr.’s work with a barber located at 15 S. Franklin St. after his arrival in the United States from Tunisia in 1956. The patriarch of Italian descent was cutting hair at age 13, his sons explained. Learning how to administer a proper shave with a straight razor through his time in that Wilkes-Barre shop, the 85-yearold has now passed the trade on
A
PAGE 18
to his sons Pete, 58, and Aldo, 54, along with his grandson, Frank Sartorio, Jr., 31. The specialty service is one that Sartorio’s is happy to offer. “In the old country, we had more shaves than haircuts,” Frank Sr. said. “Over here, the barbers don’t want to do it because they spend too much time with the razor, and it costs more. They don’t want it, but we love it.” It’s easy to feel like family as the three generations of Sartorios crack wise against each other. When asked why straight razor shaves are growing in popularity, Frank Jr. chimed in. “If you’re letting an 85-year-
old man shave your face, it’s like a thrill seeking thing. It’s like bungee jumping,” he joked with his grandfather. In truth, the service is a “cheap luxury” that is experiencing a boom in northeastern Pennsylvania, the Pittston-based Sartorios agreed. “Anybody can go home and shave quickly with their Acras and everything else. We could never compete with how fast and how easy you can do it,” Pete said. “When you come here and you’re getting a shave, you’re getting a hot towel and relaxing. You’re being pampered.” Don’t be fooled by the word “pampered,” though. This is not a beauty shop. “This is a man’s way of getting pampered,” Pete continued. “You’re getting an
old-time shave, and you come out feeling great when you leave, which you can’t do for yourself.” “College kids are starting to get it more and more, too,” added Frank Jr. “That’s more recent, though. When I first started working here, you guys were barely doing any college kids, shave-wise.” Aldo joked that a stop at Sartorio’s is good for more than eliminating a five o’clock shadow. “It also helps get rid of a hangover, and college kids get hangovers,” the Meshoppen resident said of the hot towel treatment. The shave starts with a lubricating cream – “The razor has to glide across the face,” Pete explained. “The less friction, the better. It also
softens the beard.” – followed by a hot towel, hot lather, and the shave itself. Disappearing cream helps clean up any razor burn, and the process ends with another hot towel. “Then we tell them to go home!” Frank Sr. joked. The shave, lasting an average of 30 minutes, costs $15. Add a haircut for another $15 for a new look in about an hour. A stable of regular customers keeps the chairs at Sartorio’s full, and the family keeps conversation lively. “You can come in here and forget about what’s outside. We give them our problems so that way they can forget about their own,” Aldo said, jokingly. Working with family, he added, is a blessing. “I can’t imagine it any other way.” Pete spoke in amazement about his father’s return to the shop four months after undergoing brain surgery in February. “Look at him. He’s better than ever,” Pete said. “That’s because they finally put one in,” quipped longtime employee Maggie Domant. Domant has worked at Sartorio’s since 1989 following the closure of her Fashion Beauty Salon inside the now defunct Hotel Sterling. Frank Sr. never imagined sharing the trade with family when he started learning it all in 1956. “It’s a pleasure to work with them,” he said. “My dad is the shop,” Pete said. “Even when he leaves the shop, he’s still here. When you have a guy like that that started the shop, everyone respects him. He’s amazing.” W

Never ones to settle for a regular concert, The Great Party will join Shayfer James and Patrick Finnerty for The Vintage Masquerade at The Vintage Theater (326 Spruce St.,Scranton) on Oct. 26, a night that promises “music, masks, and perhaps a bit of mischief.” In you’re unsure of what to wear to the event, or for Halloween in general, the Ameripop band, which just released a video for “Teresa” off their self-titled EP, offered some holiday fashion advice to Weekender readers.

Bassist Matt Mang: “This upcoming show reminded me how simple but unique a masquerade mask can be. With so many different styles, they can be any combination of sexy, grotesque, funny, scary, and they’re always mysterious. Grab one that has the effect you want to convey, match it with some black garb, and get ready for some ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ freakiness. “Sometimes it’s more memorable not to have an answer to ‘Who are you supposed to be?’ and get a little whacky. In the video for our song ‘Teresa,’ Mike Nordberg and I wore Speedos, eye patches and tube socks to become ‘The Tubesock Twins.’ Grab a couple random things to wear and maybe make up a name and story behind it as you go.”
Vocalist/keyboardist Rosaleen Eastman: “When all else fails, I ‘Roy G Biv.’ Just go through your clothes and pick out one article to represent each color of the rainbow. Rainbow suspenders can’t hurt. This can also become a group costume, everyone representing one color. “I also like costumes within costumes. For example, if you plan on trick-or-treating as Salma Hayek, why not be her dressing up like a bodybuilder for Halloween? Ladies who like to don ‘sexy’ costumes ( i.e. sexy cop, sexy nurse, sexy firefighter, sexy Little Red Riding Hood) might find themselves getting a bit more attention going as a sexy toll booth operator, a sexy janitor, or a sexy female Magnum, P.I.

My favorite costume of all time has to be ‘the windy man.’ Dress up in normal clothes and then skew everything to the side using coat hangers, wire or whatever rigid material is around. Extra hold hairspray and a staggered walk really bring it home; an open briefcase or inside out umbrella gets extra points. “It’s not always easy to play an instrument whist dressed in costume, though. Gloves, masks, and anything that reduces mobility are pretty much off the table, but I’ll figure something out.”
Vocalist/guitarist Mike Eastman: “Well, I would love to catch some ‘Teresa’ sightings out there from our video. Let’s see how many of you can pull of my sexy curves. (Pictured left.) “Other than that, I love clever cheap. Have some fun with it! Once I went as a Halloween all-star. I just

ALBUM REVIEWS
Dave Stewart a true ringmaster of talent
Perhaps better known for his work with other artists than his solo output, Dave Stewart’s been a music business workhorse. He’s probably best known as the writer/producer/musical figurehead behind Annie Lennox’s voice in the Eurythmics. Stewart’s also famously penned Tom Petty’s 1985 hit “Don’t Come Around Here No More” among many others, and shadowed mid-career guidance to artists like Bono and Jon Bon Jovi - Stewart’s gift for musical direction is unparalleled. Here, he balances powerful guest spots with his own mostly blue-eyed soul vision to present a veritable resume of sonic craftsmanship. From Joss Stone’s reckless testifying on the bombastic “I Got Love,” to the warmth and whispered glow of the Allison Krauss duet “Drowning In The Blues,” Stewart melds his personal tastes to the abilities of his collaborators with precision and inventiveness. Look no further for evidence of this than on the Orianthi-
accompanied cut, “Girl In A Catsuit,” where Stewart’s penchant for easygoing, mid-tempo grooves collides in a deliciously violent discharge with the young shredder’s stratospheric guitar licks. Stewart’s no slouch sans bigname accompaniment. His gentile solo-piano ballad “You Took My Love” aches with the same heartsick quality that made Bob Dylan’s “Time Out of Mind” so memorably love-scarred. His tongue-in-cheek “New Song For Nashville” takes on the lack of whisky-hearted substance in contemporary Country music (“I like the way I’m feeling here, kind of goes with my tattoos”). Getting by with a little help from his friends but still able to steal the spotlight, Dave Stewart proves why he’s one of the most talented of musical chameleons.

RATING:
WWWW
Dave Stewart ‘The Ringmaster General’
It’s the follow-up to his Grammynominated R&B album, 2009’s “Transition,” and it’s a fine demonstration of the singer’s skills — his rap skills. Kicking off with some rock star momentum, Leslie gives us “Glory,” a humble, but epic track speaking directly to those who underestimate his musical ability. Frankly, he doesn’t care, and it sounds good. Leslie wrote and produced the entire rap album, which includes high-profile guests like Kanye West and Fabolous, who appears on the remix of the first single, “Beautiful Lie.” The piano intro is one you could listen to over and over. As the Harvard graduate gets deeper into his new sound, he doesn’t hold back on his modesty. On “5 Minute Freshen Up,” he spits: “And it feels good, that’s how I know I made it, overpaid at the same time as I’m underrated.” If you’re down, “Ups and Downs” will surely send you up. Another highlight comes from “Dress You to Undress You,” which samples Sharon “Terea” Robinson’s “Pretty Bird.” Leslie’s sensuous voice accompanied with guitar riffs make a seductive match.
The Swellers ‘Running Out of Places to Go EP’ Rating: W W W W
Swellers tease greatness with new EP
A sure sign that a band is getting bigger and better is when its songs start to evolve and every track on a release becomes an instant favorite, rather than just a handful. The Swellers, a four piece punk rock band from Flint, Mich., have reached that point in its musical career.
After releasing what most considered the group’s best album to date last year, “Good For Me,” The Swellers have selfreleased a 5-track EP titled “Running Out of Places to Go.” Maybe it’s the lyrical angst in the opener “Hands” or how the group changes time signatures on the second track, “Let Me In.” Maybe, its the way each song makes you want to break out into a circle pit. Whatever it is, “Running Out of Places to Go” is a sure milestone for The Swellers. The title-track is where the band truly shows how far it has come — in more ways than one. The track starts slow, grabbing attention, and builds up in true Swellers fashion. The lyrics on the other hand, seem to fit the band’s current state: grateful for the hard work paying off but exhausted from it as well. The most impressive aspect of this new EP is the fact the group has taken a somewhat common sound, mastered it, and made it its own. It feels as if they kept these songs off of “Good For Me” to perfect them. “Running Out of Places to Go” has plenty to keep fans excited but leaves them wanting a full-length of more of these kinds of tunes soon.
Ryan Leslie ‘Les Is More’ Rating: W W W W
Ryan Leslie top-notch on first rap album
Ryan Leslie, whose production credits include Cassie’s “Me & U” and Fabolous’ “You Be Killin Em,” proves he’s a modern-day maestro with his third album, “Les Is More.”

movie review
Weekender Correspondent
By Mike Sullivan
Rating: W Allen isn’t any different from every creepy kid from a horror movie. He openly schemes with imaginary friends, he aimlessly wanders around the house at night, and he even paints ritualistic symbols on the upper body of the family’s adopted son.
future (an odd idea that the filmmakers refuse to explore), Allen isn’t any different from every creepy kid from a horror movie. He openly schemes with imaginary friends, he aimlessly wanders around the house at night, and he even paints ritualistic symbols on the upper body of the family’s adopted son. Oddly enough, the only family member to notice Allen’s naked weirdness is Kathryn Newton who, along with her thoroughly loathsome boyfriend (Matt Shively), set up a series of webcams throughout the house to help figure out what’s going on. A jump scare in a horror movie is like a fart gag in a comedy. It’s an admission of defeat. A jump scare exists because the filmmakers couldn’t think of anything legitimately frightening or atmospheric to put on the screen so they just said, “Screw it! Let’s just make the front door slam really loud.” For 84 minutes, “Paranormal Activity 4” is nothing but cats suddenly jumping into frame, car horns honking, and women shouting “Hello” for no particular reason. The film leans heavily on jump scares because it has nothing else. Unlike the original “Paranormal Activity,” “Paranormal Activity 4” never strays too far from the hoary cliches of a haunted house movie. Yet again, we’re presented with a group of people too stupid to pack up their bags and take an unplanned vacation the moment the weird demon child gropes them in their sleep or causes the kitchen knives to float around. In addition, the film’s lo-fi aesthetics and penchant for long, drawn-out pauses makes it resemble a more grating than usual mumblecore film, albeit one with a demon haphazardly CGI-ed into the film’s final seven seconds. Indifferently directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman (who also gave us the smug fakeumentary “Catfish”), “Paranormal Activity 4” makes you long for the days when the “Saw” franchise was still pumping out unwanted sequels. As useless as the “Saw” series might have been, at least those movies weren’t boring. W
Hide your kids and hide your wife from creepy kids like Allen in ’PA4.’
Little activity in 'Paranormal Activity 4'
It’s only been three years since the original “Paranormal Activity” was released to theaters and it’s interesting to see how badly the film has aged within such a limited time frame. Partly that’s due to the onslaught of copycats and creatively unwarranted sequels that co-opted and ultimately watered down “Paranormal Activity’s” found footage gimmick. But mostly it’s due to the fact that “Paranormal Activity” really wasn’t that good to begin with. Sure, the film had its moments, but that’s all it had – a few select moments. Everybody loves the scene when Katie Featherston is standing ominously over her on-screen boyfriend as he sleeps, but did everybody really enjoy the pure, unfettered tedium that led up to that iconic moment? Did you really enjoy all of those endless static shots of faces staring blankly into security cameras? You didn’t, and you’re not going to like “Paranormal Activity 4” because it’s heavy on blank stares and light on the scary. Basically “The Omen” if it was told entirely from the perspective of some a--hole on Skype who won’t stop talking about Facebook status updates, “Paranormal Activity 4” revolves around a suburban family from Henderson, Nev. who take in a weird kid (played by Brady Allen) from across the street when his mother is hospitalized under mysterious circumstances. With the exception of his magical fork that predicts the

OPENING THIS WEEK: ‘Silent Hill: Revelation 3D’ ‘Chasing Mavericks’ ‘Fun Size’ COMING NEXT WEEK: ‘Flight’ ‘The Man with the Iron Fists’ ‘Wreck-It Ralph’ Will Adelaide Clemens need another life to vanquish the 3-demons of Silent Hill? We’re guessing that John C. Reilly and crew wreck box office records with this one.

novel approach
Sailing oceans of consequence
By Kacy Muir
Weekender Correspondent
In M. L. Stedman’s well-crafted debut, “The Light Between Oceans,” she takes readers on a journey of choice and consequence. Like a lighthouse shining its way into the night, the novel emphasizes that the decision between right and wrong can change from visible to vague in an instant. Set during the late 1920s, the novel follows a chance connection between protagonists and couple, Tom and Isabel Sherbourne. After Tom accepts a position as the lighthouse keeper, he and Isabel leave the mainland for Janus Rock in Western Australia. The island may be isolated, but the lighthouse offers everything Tom and Isabel need. It becomes their refuge in the rough months ahead — through every unruly tide and storm. Isabel is kind, brave and, above all, maternal. But, after a series of miscarriages, Isabel grows distraught and preoccupied with grief. Tom, as supportive as he can be, can no longer improve her sense of loss, prompting his guilt. Here, as a reader, we feel a definite attachment to the characters. We feel connected to their loss and their attempts to do the right thing. But, the journey to that decision is not always black and white. At the lighthouse, Tom takes meticulous record of every regular and irregular occurrence. But when a miracle drifts ashore, his and Isabel’s lives change forever. The cries of a baby echo in through the windows. Having been the only people on the island for months on end, Isabel first contemplates if her mind is playing tricks on her. But, Tom also hears the noise, deciding to flee to the shoreline for further inspection. As Tom moves towards the

‘The Light Between Oceans’ By M.L. Stedman Rating: W W W W small boat, the cries amplify. There, he finds a man days past help. He moves him, checking for signs of life only to find one survivor — a crying baby wrapped in nothing but a ladies blouse. The decision to keep the child weighs heavily on both characters. While Tom immediately feels the authorities should be contacted, he finds Isabel smiling as if transformed into the woman she was destined to become. Tom and Isabel make the choice to keep the child, naming her Lucy. She becomes the bond that strengthens the relationship between them. While Stedman wants readers to believe the story has already started, it is not until two years pass and the family returns to the mainland that the plot truly begins to unfurl. “The Light Between Oceans” develops into two very different stories told from one shore to the next. We conclude the novel with Tom’s retrospection: “Soon enough the days will close over their lives, the grass will grow over their graves, until their story is just an unvisited headstone.”

'Minions' bring protoncharged performances
By Rich Howells
Weekender Staff Writer
If any cult following can rival that of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” it may just be “Ghostbusters.” But a live shadow cast of New York’s favorite parapsychologists? That may just be crossing the streams. It’s a risk that Minions of Gozer producer/creator Angela Williams was willing to take, and it wouldn’t be the first time. Barred as a child from seeing a film containing evil spirits in her religious home, she fearlessly watched the film again and again as a teenager. “It was a love affair immediately. Besides getting to watch this movie that was sort of banned in my house, which was really exciting, I probably wouldn’t realize until much later all the nuances of the film – great comedy, the awesome portrayal or New York in the 1980s, which I love still,” Williams explained in a recent phone interview. “When I saw it, it was everything I hoped it would be… I think it was the combination of something so scary with all the comedy. It was this scary, evil thing presented in this hilarious way. I also, from my teenage years, I loved Egon. I had a big crush on Egon.” While taking a walk with her future husband one day, the 36year-old Bronx resident came upon the iconic Ghostbusters firehouse on North Moore Street in New York City and decided to start organizing tours with friends of many of the 1984 film’s shooting locations. “It was the greatest feeling ever. It totally cheered me up on a cold, gray day,” she recalled. “Wishing I could have that feeling a lot more often, being in this movie that made me so happy, I just started thinking about how to do that for other people, and that sort of lead to the idea of showing the movie and bringing a lot of the elements of the movie to life.” Named after the movie’s supernatural villain from another dimension, Minions of Gozer spent about a year in development, creating buzz online and getting many people interested in the first auditions.

ralphie report
ENTERTAINMENT REPORT
Bruno Mars may be receiving rave reviews following his hosting gig last weekend on “Saturday Night Live,” but the singer still isn’t taking himself too seriously. “Yeah, this is my launching pad,” a somewhat serious Mars said on “The Ralphie Show,” before veering off. “I’m out of the music business. Me and Tom Hanks are doing a movie.” Hanks, who happened to be in New York on a promotional tour of his own, ended up lending a cameo to Mars’ “SNL” episode – to which the “Grenade” singer admitted he was nervous about. All kidding aside, Bruno revealed he would only consider pursuing a film career if it happened organically. “Music is my thing, man,” he said. “I’ll leave the acting to the pros.” Mars doesn’t know what spurred Lorne Michaels and company to ask him to host the legendary show but thinks it worked out well. It also serves as a perfect kick off of touring to promote his new album, “Unorthodox Jukebox,” due out Dec. 11. Now that the album is finished, Mars can concentrate on press for the LP, such as the aforementioned “SNL” gig and his forthcoming performance on the “Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.” “Yeah, we got asked to do that,” Mars said. “That’s gonna be fun!” When asked if he was looking forward to meeting any of the models, Mars froze, before eventually answering the question in a round-about way. “I’ve seen the show before and I’m excited for the way they put the shows together and how good the stage looks; more important than the beautiful women,” Mars said, with a straight face no less. “I’m lying!” Mars exclaimed only seconds later to a room full of laughter. If there was ever a time Mars was going to get serious, that clearly was not going to be it. DAUGHTRY KEEPING BUSY It has been a whirlwind of a

Bruno Mars almost kept a straight face when asked about his upcoming gig at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. week for the band Daughtry. On Sunday the fellas played a soldout Count Basie Theater in Red Bank, NJ. The following morning, it was off to NBC’s “Today.” “Night shows are always very different than morning shows,” explained Daughtry during an appearance on “The Ralphie Show.” “A lot of times, morning shows aren’t really garnered toward full band set-ups.” For example: Chris was only backed by a couple of acoustic guitars during Monday morning’s TV appearance. Usually for the late night shows, Daughtry can “hide behind all the noise” of a full band. “I think singing that early in the morning generally is scary, especially after doing a show the night before,” Daughtry admitted. “You’re normally not ready for that, so you have to get up five hours earlier just so you can kind of ease in to it.” Things didn’t slow down for the crew after Monday though. On Tuesday, Chris and Elvio Fernandes – a touring member of the band – fulfilled a handful of promotional obligations throughout New York City. Why Elvio and not a proper member of the band? Everyone else was in rehearsal for upcoming tour dates – including this week’s performance in Dubai, which the band left for on Wednesday evening.

Scranton artists, crafters building brands online
United effort behind ScrantonMade culminates with mid-Nov. e-commerce site launch By Christopher J. Hughes
Weekender Editor
A resolution upheld by one Scranton business owner is set to benefit other area artists, crafters, and designers. “My New Year’s resolution was to spend 50 percent of my time selling and learning how to sell online. Chrissy (Manuel) and I kind of dove right in to learning everything we could,” explained GreenBeing owner Cristin Powers, 29, of Scranton. Instead of simply managing entries on her Etsy shop when items in the 334 Adams Ave. store would sell, Powers began to realize the power of an online marketplace as she continued a consignment agreement with Manuel, 36, the Scranton owner of the Shoplift store at etsy.com. The duo developed the ScrantonMade brand with the help of 22-year-old Scrantonian Samantha Nardelli, a graphic design student at Marywood University who is expected to receive her bachelor’s degree this spring. The hand-drawn fonts and Scranton skyline fit hand-in-hand with the carefully crafted goods that the logo promotes. Launched with several blog posts beginning in August, ScrantonMade (scrantonmade.com, scrantonmade.blogspot.com) will open an online marketplace with eight initial artists in mid-November. Artists behind the venture are Jenn Bell, creator of copper and enamel tiles; Annie Cadden of Fisher Cat Fiber Co., who crafts rugs from recycled materials; Kathie and Amanda Fox of the vegan soap and body product shop Fanciful Fox (342 Adams Ave., Scranton); Alicia Grega, who will contribute Scrantonbased accessories and printed tiles; Matt Hiller, a letterpress artist from Revival Letterpress; Valerie Kiser, a fiber artist specializing in hand printed T-shirts; Nardelli’s screen prints of the Scranton skyline and bound books; and Powers’ handmade accessories that are common to shoppers of GreenBeing. Powers’ initial inclination towards e-commerce may have started with a simpler goal, but she and Manuel were inspired to create the opportunity after attending a recent handmade gift fair. “Chrissy and I have been brainstorming back and forth for a while about doing something. We did a show – BUST (Magazine) Craftacular in New York City – and doing shows like that, it’s just a one day event where you’re paying all of this money and lugging your stuff. We wondered, ‘What could we do that’s

Originally, they planned a simple holiday marketplace but quickly wondered why they should limit themselves to just a few months each year. “We’re interested in finding ways for artists to sustain themselves and make art for a living,” Manuel explained. “We’re excited about how much interest we’ve gotten, and each person brings their own customer base with them. It’s been great for us to share that.” Just as GreenBeing and Fanciful Fox have helped build a destination for handmade goods downtown, collaborators behind ScrantonMade hope the online shop will be a place where people point their browsers. The storefronts aren’t going anywhere, either. Established brick and mortar shops won’t be replaced any time soon by owners huddled behind their computer screens. “We want to still continue to do things in the community, not just online,” Manuel emphasized. “We’re so rooted in the community, even though we’re online.”
This rug made of recycled materials is just one example of the works of Annie Cadden that will be featured online in mid-November. In fact, the ScrantonMade crafters will participate in the “Buy Local Holiday Marketplace” at the Scranton Cultural Center (420 N. Washington Ave., Scranton) on Nov. 25. The ScrantonMade blog will continue to feature new artist biographies, DIY project ideas, artist and small business resources, event information, and more. Artists interested in joining the effort may have an opportunity to apply after the new year, Powers said. ScrantonMade online marketplace: Launching mid-November at scrantonmade.com, featuring works from Jenn Bell, Annie Cadden, Kathie and Amanda Fox, Alicia Grega, Matt Hiller, Valerie Kiser, Samantha Nardelli, and Cristin Powers.

GEEK CULTURE & MORE
Phoenix rises over poor career choices
Is it just me or is it strange to have Joaquin Phoenix amongst the living once again? Hollywood gossip circles have been busy discussing Phoenix’s recent comments ripping the Academy Awards, but it’s his performance in Paul Thomas Anderson’s “The Master” that has my attention. Where has this wonderful actor been over the last few years? Oh yes, that’s right – pretending to throw his career away while almost actually throwing his career away. As you may recall, Joaquin thought it would be awesome to announce his “retirement” from acting in 2008 by growing a ridiculous beard to match the rat’s nest on his head, wearing sunglasses constantly, and becoming a drugged-up rapper managed by Sean Combs. A bewildering “Late Show with David Letterman” appearance sealed the ruse as Casey Affleck began filming “I’m Still Here,” a documentary of this transformation that the pair later admitted was actually a mockumentary. If you attempted to sit through this drivel, you’d find that while he is a great performer, Andy Kaufman he is not. I wasn’t fooled, as it all seemed just too staged for the veteran thespian, but I wasn’t too happy with him either. Like many people, I enjoyed his Academy Award-nominated roles of Commodus in “Gladiator” and Johnny Cash in “Walk the Line,” but I first took note of his abilities in Philip Kaufman’s “Quills,” inspired by the infamous Marquis de Sade. Phoenix plays the Abbe du Coulmier, a holy man who hopes to lead the author away from temptation while fighting his own sexual urges. The film may be historically inaccurate, but I always viewed it as the story of the Marquis if he had a chance to write it, and embellish it, himself. Its messages regarding freedom of speech
Rich Howells | Weekender Staff Writer
Infinite Improbability
Joaquin Phoenix’s ill-fated appearance on "The Late Show with David Letterman" could have been the beginning of the end of his career. (AP Photo/CBS, J.P. Flio) and religious hypocrisy ring true despite its exaggerations, so as it stuck with me, so did Phoenix. “Clay Pigeons,” “The Yards,” “Buffalo Soldiers” – I was really enjoying this guy. I even forgave him for M. Night Shyamalan’s “Signs” – he probably thought it was going to be good like “The Sixth Sense,” too. Considering his battle with alcoholism and his brother River’s untimely passing due to a drug overdose in 1993, you would think he’d had his share of real substance abuse in his life. But no, he decided to flush his career to say what, exactly, with his fake stupor in “I’m Still Here”? That he could make poop jokes? That he could fool fans and critics with a performance that’s not even watchable or entertaining? I admire people who take artistic risks, but this was worse than just doing a bad movie – this was breaking trust with your audience, a gamble that seemed to pay off with no one. He admitted in recent interviews that it has been tough for him to find work since. Distracted by all the great films we were treated to this year, I simply forgot about the oddly-named “artiste” until “The Master” started pulling in solid reviews. They had me at P.T. Anderson and Philip Seymour Hoffman, but would this film also be Joaquin’s grand return to real cinema? This I had to see. Like his namesake rising from the ashes, Phoenix is brilliant as Freddie Quell, a World War II veteran with mental issues who crosses paths with Lancaster Dodd, a cult leader obviously based on Scientology founder and all-around nutjob L. Ron Hubbard, who attempts to bring him into “The Cause.” The irony of Phoenix winning audiences back with a role as a meandering drunk isn’t lost on me, but watching these two greats play off each other is inspired filmmaking, an art form I’m glad to see him return to. From talking out the side of his mouth for over two hours to randomly breaking into fits of impulsive violence, he completely owns this role, giving us a protagonist that’s sympathetic one minute and repulsive the next. Hoffman is equally deserving of praise, but he had nothing to prove – Joaquin needed to show that he’s still got it. He does, thankfully, but I hope that he keeps it this time. He may not be a fan of the Hollywood system, as he mentioned last week, but if he wants to keep making blockbusters and critical darlings, his next project should continue to involve risk, but maybe one that’s a bit more calculated. Or, at the very least, sane. But hey, I’m glad you’re “still here,” Mr. Phoenix.

Calories from candy can add up quickly. (AP Photo/Dan Goodman)
Don't get tricked by holiday treats
Halloween could be considered the start of the holiday season. For those of you trying to keep your waistlines in check, this could be a tough time of year. But don’t fret. Arm yourself with some “tricks” to keep yourself from overindulging in the “treats”. Here are some easy tips you can implement to make the next three months more manageable. Be realistic. While it may be ideal to be on more of a “weight maintenance” phase over the holiday season, I typically try to inspire my clients to make serious progress over the next 90 days. Instead of anticipating a gain, empower yourself and commit to excellence. Don’t let the holidays control you or dictate your weight. This year, work toward losing ten pounds and start 2013 ahead of the game. Don’t buy the Halloween candy you like. If you are concerned about your weight, buying the treats you enjoy is only setting yourself up for failure. Instead, buy candy you don’t like. This way you’ll be less tempted to hit the loot when no one is looking. Don’t be over generous. Don’t do the kids any favors by handing out too many treats. While you may think you are being kind, all you’re doing is filling their bags with sugar, cavities, and calories. Consider handing out healthier pre-packaged snacks like dried fruit, granola bars, or even HalloweenHalloween candy calorie count Hershey Kisses: 26 calories and 8 g carb per kiss. Hershey Kisses with almonds: 23 calories and 2 g carb per kiss. Hershey Kisses with caramel: 21 calories and 3 g carb per kiss. Hershey Candy Corn Kisses: 27 calories and 3 g carb per kiss. Hershey’s Miniature Bars (mixed): average of 42 calories and 5 g carb per bar. M&Ms, plain, Fun size (18 g): 88 calories and 12 g carb.

themed toys or stickers. Temporary tattoos are a good alternative, too. Be real. Allow yourself a few treats, but don’t go overboard. Set a realistic amount of candy you can have daily and commit to the number. Leftover junk should be tossed out. You may think it’s wasteful, but it’s better than being “waist-FULL”. Also, don’t bring the leftovers into work. If your co-workers are trying to watch their calories, don’t be the person who potentially sabotages their efforts. Don’t beat yourself up. If you do go overboard on the M&M’s, it’s not the end of the world. While physical activity can’t erase the calories you consumed, you can offset it with exercise and get back on track.

Inaugural 5K helps raise colon cancer awareness
By Christopher J. Hughes
Weekender Editor
Saturday’s race through the Luzerne County Sports Complex (2009 Wyoming Ave., Forty Fort) will help celebrate the life of a local woman who’s life was cut short by a disease thought to affect only the elderly. The inaugural Steph’s Fall 5K on Oct. 27 begins at 10:30 a.m. Proceeds will benefit the Stephanie GodriJohnston Memorial Scholarship fund, which will be given to a Wyoming Area graduating senior with preference given to a cross country or track and field athlete. Godri-Johnston was 31 when she was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer in Jan. 2011, a discovery that surprised family. “To our knowledge, there isn’t anyone on either side of the family who had colon cancer,” her mother, Mary Godri, of Harding explained. In addition, only two members of her immediate family had breast cancer. “It was just an ‘It can’t be’ kind of a thing. Even now, it’s still very hard to think how this could have happened.” Aside from no direct connection to the disease, GodriJohnston was a very active person, beginning with her time as a cross-country athlete from seventh to 12th grade at Wyoming Area.

Since Godri-Johnston’s diagnosis, members of her family have had colonoscopies, which her mother said is a sure way to detect polyps as the beginning of the disease, whether or not you have symptoms. The 15-minute procedure is worth it to determine if you’re sick, she said. “I wouldn’t want to see anybody go through what Stephanie went through.” Colon cancer is not widely discussed, despite the fact that it is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and second leading cause of cancer death in the United States, according to the Colon Cancer Alliance. The Godri family hopes to change that with the beginning of Steph’s Fall 5K, even though Stephanie would probably dismiss all of the fuss. She is still remembered as a loving, giving, selfless person. “I think she would have said, ‘What’s this all about?’” One hundred seventy-three participants had registered by Monday, and registration is open from 8:30-10:10 a.m. on Saturday

Godri-Johnston also began to experience continued abdominal discomfort, one symptom described by the Colon Cancer Alliance web site. “The thing is, Stephanie never complained,” Mrs. Godri said. Following a colonoscopy in Jan. 2011, doctors took a biopsy of that mass, and it was discovered that she had stage IV colon cancer. After several rounds of medication and chemotherapy, doctors shrank the once softball-sized tumor, but the “seeds” of the disease had broken through the wall of the intestine and taken root in her abdomen. She passed away on May 10, 2012 at age 32, far younger than the ages commonly associated with the disease. “There are a number of young people, some of them even in their late teens, that

he holidays are coming up and it looks like I’m going to be alone again. All of my friends have significant others. I’m so tired of being alone! Do you have any suggestions for meeting people? I just don’t know how to go about finding the love I’ve been waiting for. -Lonely in Larksville ear Lonely, Don’t you fret. Auntie Estella is here to help. I know people tend to get especially wistful about having a partner around the holidays. The thing to remember is why. It’s all part of the romance of it. The idea of the perfect holiday where you are surrounded by the ones you love and it’s all joy, happiness, and tinsel is most often fiction. The reality is that the holidays are not really like that for most people, and the really important thing to remember is to truly enjoy what you do have. So on that note comes my advice for finding a significant other. The best advice is to follow your bliss. Forget most of the advice you’ve heard except the idea of “putting yourself out there.” I just suggest you think about it slightly differently than you may have in the past. When I say to put yourself out there I mean to get out of your routine, get out of whatever shell you are comfortable in and do something different. Think about what you love to do. What gets you psyched? If you love pottery or poetry or drawing, take a class. You will inevitably meet people who are passionate about the same thing. If you attend church or are involved in some community activity, take a position on a committee and again you will

Lonely this holiday season? Estella suggests doing something different that you enjoy, which may lead to more. (Photo by Kat Holland) meet people who care about the same causes you do. Meeting random people in bars is totally hit or miss and may not be the best place to look for the love of your life. You have no idea what they are interested in or looking for. If you meet people based on specific interests, you have a much better chance of finding someone with whom you have something in common. The best part is that, even if you don’t meet the love of your life while following your bliss, your life will have been enriched and, chances are, you’ll be happier for it. You may even end up with a beautiful vase to give Aunt Clara on Christmas. Chances are you will also have made some friends along the way who may introduce you to hot, single potentials! You never know where following your bliss will lead you – up Mount Kilimanjaro or into bed with a Latin lover from salsa class. Regardless of your relationship status, the most important thing to remember this holiday season is “to thine own self be true.” You don’t need a significant other to make your yuletide merry. Surround yourself with the people you love. Alone doesn’t always necessarily have to mean lonely. Think of what you really wish for this holiday season. If you don’t meet the love of your life, it’s not the end of the world. I understand your desire for love. Sometimes the harder you look, the more difficult it may become. Selfconfidence is key when looking for that special someone. As my idol and mentor Ru Paul says, “If you don’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else? Can I get an Amen?” So in the meantime, live the life you love and love the life you live and just do you.

A 20-SOMETHING’S WILD ADVENTURES
Moral compass shifts in 'Dishonored'
I love stealth games, so it is no surprise that “Dishonored” is one of my most anticipated games this year. I first learned about this game when watching the E3 press conference, and I was blown away then. Since June, I have been reading articles and watching trailers in excitement, and this game is definitely worth the wait. “Dishonored “ is a first-person action shooter in the vein of “Bioshock”, but it is centered around sneaking around and killing foes silently. Just like “Bioshock,” one of the most important characters in the game is the setting. Even though it’s no Rapture, the city of Dunwall is a breathtaking environment full of steampunk technology, spacious pathways, and interesting set pieces. The city is modeled after Victorian London, including some recognizable landmarks. It’s not quite as big as “Skyrim,” but it is filled with many interesting places to explore full of shadowy figures, corrupt leaders, supernatural secrets, and plague rats. The story of “Dishonored” follows an assassin named Corvo, the trusted bodyguard of the empress, who was framed for her murder. Now, you seek revenge against all of the people that orchestrated your downfall. Corvo’s allies help by giving you an array of supernatural powers that will help you on your missions. The abilities make the game truly great and open up several play styles and options. The incredible variety of ways you can fight or avoid enemies makes “Dishonored” impressively varied and amazingly captivating. Available powers include “Blink” which essentially lets you teleport to different loca-
Summon a plague of rats with one of your many powers in ’Dishonored.’ tions, “Dark Vision” which lets players see enemy movements through walls and highlights other important objects in the world, and “Agility” which increases jump height and movement speed and reduces fall damage. You can also bend time, call swarms of rats, and even possess people. What really matters is the way you can use the powers. If you are skilled enough, you can decide to play through the game without killing a single person. Of course, if you want you can kill everything that moves, but “Dishonored” has moral consequence. Not only will it affect your ending, it will also impact how other characters will react to you. The thing that makes “Dishonored” so exciting for me is the “Chaos Engine.” This changes events in the game so you can replay them repeatedly and never have the same outcome. Enemies won’t be in the same place, and they won’t behave the same way. There is a mission early in the game at a costume ball where you had to kill one of three sisters, and each time you play the target changes, for example. The game is oozing with ambiance. It has beautifully detailed
Justin on TV? That depends on how well his pitch meeting goes...
Go big or go home
A good friend once told me you have two choices in life: You can either go big, or go home. The advice first came to me when I was backstage before performing stand-up at a Pittsburgh comedy club for some reason only God knows. “I started drinking to loosen up thinking I’d be on early, but I’m on last and I’ve drank way too much to perform!” I said to a friend over the phone. “You’re Justin f--king Brown! You’ll be fine,” my friend advised. “Go big, or go home!” I took the advice and went big when I pulled a beer can and my car keys out of my pocket to shotgun on stage. I got an audience member and the sound equipment wet with lager, and was kicked out, having to go home. I later learned you can’t always go big and go home. “Wanna come to Los Angeles with me?” I asked my British roommate, Joel, who I worked at a Connecticut resort with. “I landed a pitch meeting with a production company interested in possibly turning my column into a reality show! Let’s make it a vacation and hit up Vegas afterwards.” “Count me in!” he insisted. Since our flight was at 6 a.m., we decided it would be a good idea to drink all night until our flight. When we hit up a frat party at my friend’s college that night, Joel was allowed in because he jumped the line with my friend who knew them. They told me no guys were allowed. “Come back!” I texted Joel at my friend’s apartment. He refused. Since he has been known to act like the Scarecrow from “The Wizard of Oz” when he drinks – losing his mind and the stability of his limbs - I was afraid we would get split up for the rest of the night and miss our flight. Drunk and pissed, I decided to unpack his suitcase. It made sense at the time. While wiping beer tears from his face over what I did, Joel booked an immediate flight back to England. I know. That s--t cray. On my way to LA alone, I was so upset that Joel wasn’t coming that I wanted to cry. I didn’t because I have a penis. While he went home, I decided to go big, as I had a meeting scheduled that could change my life...
To kill or not to kill? The game allows you to make changes that affect your moral compass, and a Chaos Engine randomizes missions each time you play. levels, amazing voice work, and an array of vibrant characters that draw you into the intrigue and make you care about the choices you have to make. The mix of amazing visuals, fun game play, and intriguing story make the game something special. If you like FPS action, stealth, and games with moral choices, or if you just like stabbing people in the head, grab “Dishonored,” a title that could definitely be a contender for game of the year.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) As you concoct what you’re going to wear to your Halloween bash or costumed birthday party, consider dressing as the physical embodiment of your greatest weakness. Be your version of a giant Achilles’ Heel. Why expose yourself? Because even though your virile strength is inarguably sexy, that’s not the part of you that’s shining through this week. Like it or not, your frailties will be painfully obvious—why not flaunt them? If people will see you as a fragile and vulnerable autumn leaf anyway, why hide it? Autumn leaves aren’t just delicate; they’re beautiful, too. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Time is accelerating. I’m sure you’ve noticed how every year slips by a little quicker than the last, and whole weeks blend together into an indistinguishable blur. Don’t let it depress you, not when it could (and should) motivate you. There are ways to dig in your heels against the flow of time and get it to slow down for you, and to keep your months from melting away. One is to keep a journal of the monotony. Another is to end it altogether. How? Make it your deliberate intention, starting right now, to do something different and memorable every single day. Doesn’t have to be big. It’s easier (and more rewarding) than you think. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Never underestimate the value of The Little Things. Remembering to wear the shirt they bought for you the next time you see them, even if you hate it. Include the date and time on your roommate’s phone messages. It might not garner much outward appreciation, but rest assured you’re winning points nonetheless (good karma credit that could come in handy later). When you’re not sure how to communicate what you’re feeling, display how much you’re worth, or show off your practical genius, don’t get stuck trying to think up some grand, dramatic gesture. Little Things are enough. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) You were always the kid least likely to practice kissing on your hand first, because your big sister’s friends taught you how before it had ever occurred to you to try. Your precociousness has gotten you into trouble and pleasure in equal measures, but it’s often hard to predict which one you’re headed for at any given moment. That uncertainty has sometimes caused you to pretend innocence where you had none, or ignorance where you already knew, just in case you’d be puniThe support is undeniably a positive thing, but you might not feel so exhilarated by that aid when you see cousin Emily in the corner spitting and flailing, while Uncle Evan uses his nails and pulls hair. Not that all your allies are such pussies when it comes to sticking up for you. But since you’re not in a position to pick and choose who gets to help you and who doesn’t, you might be better off fighting your own battles this week, especially because you’re perfectly capable of resolving them on your own. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) It’s rumored that Catherine the Great died under a horse, while sating her sexual predilections. Elizabeth I is oft portrayed as an awful, frigid virgin. The powerful men of history don’t fare much better—we hear just as much about clothespins on penises and cross-dressing capers as we do about noble deeds. The point is, wielding power isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Sometimes, boldly doing so results in undue focus on your more human qualities, and not on the (presumably) good work you’re trying to do. To avoid tabloid-style controversy, it might serve your intentions better to quietly rule from behind the scenes instead of grandly flourishing your latest edicts. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Yeah, you’re successful, but are you happy? You’ve transformed nothing into something, wielding only determination and time. But still you feel a little unsettled. It’s because you’re deeper than that. You’re not all about making the money to spend the money to make the money. There’s nothing wrong with that, but there’s more, too. Your latest lessons have taught you that a job isn’t just about the paycheck, and your happiness is predicated on more then income. And now that you don’t have the pressure of basic survival needs holding you down, you’re free to concentrate on feeding other things besides your mouth, like your soul. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Call off the hounds. Tell your bodyguards to take a break. No one will be taking shots at you; therefore, you’re safe from bullets they’d theoretically leap in the way of. In fact, you’re so divinely charmed and safe from harm that to put up any defenses at all will only keep you from the good things you’re due. Take down the barbed wire. Disable the laser alarms. Keep in mind that no matter how many exterior fortifications you remove, you’re hardly helpless on your own. Trust your strength. The more naked and vulnerable you are this week, the better off you’ll be.

shed for your tendency to be a little…advanced. This week, that’s unnecessary. Since the person you’re dealing with is turned off by inexperience, and even more so by fake inexperience, don’t lie. When they ask how many times you’ve been around the block, tell them. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) So far, you’ve resisted sharing your clarity with others. Although you have a clearer picture of your convoluted inner tangle than ever, you’ve found that mostly clueing people into it just scares them. You’re a complicated person, and fully sharing that essential truth might not be your best bet (if you want a life, that is) all across the board. But for anyone truly attempting to navigate that dangerous maze, the road maps you can provide would be invaluable. Once you’ve figured out that someone is willing to negotiate the labyrinth, minotaurs and all, give them every map you’ve got. They’ll give you thanks, along with the severed head of your internal Medusa, later. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) How can someone as fearsomely intimidating and strong as you wither into such a delicate and spineless flower? More easily and quickly than the waxing and waning of the moon, apparently. Your inconsistency is breathtaking. Get it together. You have a duty to your fans, and can’t hide behind moodiness or excuses right now. All interested parties have purchased guides to your heart’s hot spots, like the Star Maps to celebrity homes for sale on Hollywood street corners. If you can’t pull your s--t together for yourself, at least do it for your imminent guests. DingDong! Oops, they’re here.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Where have you been? Your ability to fly under the radar is unparalleled, but it’s still disturbing when you so completely disappear for so long. Not to mention these hints of some heretofore-unprecedented abilities. Your keen social camouflage is well-documented, but replacing your notorious rigidity with newfound flexibility—nice move. What are you, the prodigal progeny of Mr. Plastic and The Invisible Woman? Well? Don’t just stand around while I congratulate you. Your arch-nemesis and his evil cronies haven’t figured out your new status. Knock them out of the picture for once and all—not by kicking their asses, but by befriending them, since you’re in a position to do so now. It’s kind of a stretch, but isn’t that your new specialty? GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) As the most heady of signs (if not always the most rational), you don’t usually have a sense of fatalism. That is, you believe that your conscious free will can keep you from basically becoming your parents. You think astrology is probably all bullshit and that ingenuity and logic (especially working together) can always triumph over emotional or physical obstacles. All of these things are true. Yet every one has an exception as well. Unfortunately, this week is ruled by the exceptions. No, you’re not going to turn into your Mom or Dad. But don’t panic when the things you knew as true turn out to only be mostly true. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) At first, you may be incredibly psyched to have so many people fighting for you.

Imagine for a moment that you can’t buy beer. No ale. No Lager. Not a drop. What might seem hard to fathom today was all too real for Americans after Prohibition became law in 1919. During that time many breweries threw in the towel, leaving their recipes on the shelf to disappear forever. BATCH19 is a revival of that pre-Prohibition style. Inspired by an authentic recipe found in an old brewery logbook that dates back to before Prohibition, BATCH19 has a hoppy, yet surprisingly balanced taste derived from a rare combination of hops. 5.5% ABV, 26 1BU’s
