letter from the editor
Music and the military to
some, they may seem like polar
opposites.
One is about discipline and
order; the other is more loose and
expressive. But both are integral
parts of American culture, and
as the MayDay Music Festival
proves, both can meld together
quite well if given the chance. The
Weekender came up with its cover
concept weeks ago, and as it just
so happened, Sector One Entertain-
ment, the organizers of the annual
festival, chose Sgt. Tracie Slempa
to model.
She ended up becoming the
lead interview subject in our cover
story (pages 36 and 37) because
her life in the 109th Mobile Public
Affairs Detachment of the Army
National Guard and her civilian life
as an R&B singer come together
to represent those two seemingly
contrary sides perfectly; in fact,
as youll read, one career actually
aided the other.
So check out the MayDay Music
Festival at Kirby Park this weekend
it may just change your perspec-
tive on music, the Armed Forces,
or both.

Poodle skirts, beehive hairdos,
pompadours, and ducktails were
back in style Saturday, May 18 as
the Golden Oldies of the 1950s and
early 1960s flled the F.M. Kirby
Center for the Performing Arts.
Doo Wop, Volume 6, the latest
installment of Joe Nardones popu-
lar series, brought back the music
and memories of the formative years
of rock n roll as The Spaniels,
Willie Winfeld and The Harptones,
Jimmy Clanton, Jay Siegels Tokens,
The Passions, and Kenny Vance and
the Planotones got together at the
Wilkes-Barre theater.
The Spaniels, a doo-wop group
formed in the early 1950s in Gary,
Ind., were frst to the stage and
closed out its 20-minute segment
with its biggest hit, Goodnite,
Sweetheart, Goodnite from 1954.
But dont go anywhere, the lead
singer said.
The shows not over yet.
In fact, it was just getting under-
way as the evenings second group,
The Harptones, which still feature
original lead singer Willie Winfeld,
took over with the Motown classic
Aint No Mountain High Enough.
The quartet, consisting of three
males and one female singer, then
did nice renditions of its own hits
Since I Fell For You, Life Is But
a Dream, and ASunday Kind of
Love before fnishing up with an-
other Motown classic, Get Ready.
Next up was Jimmy Clanton,
the now 72-year-old former teen
idol who frst hit the charts in 1958
with Just a Dream. Clanton told
stories of working with Neil Sedaka
on Another Sleepless Night as a
follow-up to his frst single and with
Carole King, who arranged his 1962
smash Venus in Blue Jeans.
There were a few songs I came
across in my 55-year career where
I wish I would have gotten to them
frst, he said as an introduction to
his rendition of Hold Me, Thrill
Me, Kiss Me.
I would have given my hind
teeth to get that one frst.
Jay Siegels Tokens, which
incidentally originally featured his
classmate Sedaka, then took the
stage with Tonight I Fell in Love,
the groups frst hit from 1961, and
followed with that records B-side,
Ill Always Love You.
Jay Traynor, a current member of
The Tokens and original lead singer
of Jay & The Americans, sang lead
on Dions The Wanderer and
The Temptations My Girl before
bringing the crowd to its feet with
his note-perfect rendition of his
former groups frst big hit, She
Cried.
Siegel then took the lead vocal
duties back for 1967s Portrait of
My Love and his groups biggest
hit, 1961s No.1 smash The Lion
Sleeps Tonight.
They included that in The
Lion King and we got a whole
new crowd of fve-year-olds at our
shows, Siegel said. In fact, true
story, my granddaughter, when she
was fve years old, took me into
her kindergarten class for show and
tell.
His version of his signature tune,
still in its original key of F, again
brought the crowd to its feet as it
sang Wimoweh in unison.
Following intermission, The
Passions, a doo-wop group from
Brooklyn which still features three
original members, including Jimmy
Gallagher on lead vocals, then got
the audience singing and clapping
along again with an entertaining
20-minute set. The Passions scored
big with This Is My Love and
You Dont Love Me Anymore
before fnishing strongly with its
signature tune, Just to Be with
You.
Another original member of Jay
& The Americans, Kenny Vance,
then brought the show to a close
with his group The Planotones, sing-
ing many doo-wop and early rock
n roll classics such as Ive Had It
and In the Still of the Night before
treating the crowd to his signature
tune, Looking for an Echo.

If there is one distinct thing
about Man Overboard aside from
their sound, its the amount of
music they release. Between EPs,
splits with other acts, B-sides,
and full-lengths, the Philadelphia-
based punk group holds noth-
ing back. And now, the surprise
full-length they wrote over winter
was accidently leaked by Spotify
and released a bit earlier than
anticipated.
Heart Attack is straight and
simple, like most punk rock
albums, but its that exact quality
that makes it great. The bands
musicianship has continued to
grow, and the dual-vocal attack
has been mastered, which lead to
the bands best music to date.
While Man Overboard has been
known to trade catchy hooks for
slightly heavier breakdowns from
their hardcore infuences, the
band has fnally found its perfect
balance. First single While Lies
captures a catchy guitar riff, a
bouncing drum beat, and anthem-
flled lyrics like, Why is nobody
else alone like me?
Man Overboard gained a lot
of ground in the music scene by
writing extremely relatable songs,
and they did not give up on that
with Heart Attack. Every song
is about being just a little bit dif-
ferent, not having what everyone
else has, and it gives kids a piece
of acceptance. The raw energy
and music go perfectly with the
raw themes of the tunes; its
almost as if the music is a movie,
and the lyrics are actors that ft
perfectly.
Hoodie Song captures a Set
Your Goals vibe and will sound
familiar to any MO fan. How to
Hide Your Feelings shows Man
Overboard from a new angle, and
the group did not miss a step. Its
more of a rock-driven song that
changes pace frequently and truly
captures the listener.
There is not one downfall
track, or one that stands out for
that matter. The entire album is
perfectly balanced and evenly
stacked. Each song is its own
unique being, and they can all
be singles. Heart Attack has
a full concept and makes for an
outstanding listen all the way
through.

Philadelphias music scene has accounted
for some of the most infuential and memo-
rable moments in the entire popular music
vernacular. Philly is where rock n roll took
its baby steps with American Bandstand
in the 1950s, felt the smooth soul power
of Gambale and Huffs The Sound of
Philadelphia in the 1970s, and rocked the
MTV-soaked 1980s with The Hooters just
a smattering of Phillys contributions to the
national spotlight. Drummer David Uosik-
kinen of The Hooters has assembled some
of that citys best musicians for his In the
Pocket project, a living, breathing celebra-
tion of Phillys esteemed musical past.
Recorded at Phoenixville, Penn.s Colo-
nial Theatre, the album captures the remark-
ably current vibe that ripples through these
classic songs. Joining Uosikkinen are fellow
Hooters bandmates like Eric Bazilian, who
takes lead with his own volatile, intensive
stab at One of Us, the hit Bazilian penned
for Joan Osborne in 1995.
Singer/songwriter Ben Arnold sings lead
on Change Reaction, a piece of New
Wave-era ear candy from Phillys answer to
The Cars Robert Hazard and The Heroes.
GrahamAlexander, known for his Paul
McCartney role in he Beatles stage show
1964 - The Tribute, absolutely commands
Philly soul-collective The Trammps Disco
Inferno with pure bass-bouncing delirium.
Guitar slinger Tommy Conwell turns in
a rousing vocal, not to mention a slither-
ing, Gretsch-toned, rockabilly twangfest on
The Dovells early 1960s hit You Cant Sit
Down, a prime example of the brash, yet
lovingly jubilant hand with which this mate-
rial is dealt. Uosikkinen has said, For In
the Pocket to be successful, it has to have a
feeling of community among the musicians.
With the fawless, natural sense of musi-
cal awareness each player lovingly tosses
Uosikkinens way, its clear hes got nothing
to worry about.

Daft Punk has moved on from EDM to
a sound it has described as more warm and
organic, visiting the 70s and early 80s and,
in particular, the disco part of that era, and it
has replaced its electronic gadgets with live
instruments and retro synthesizers.
While the 70s-80s disco scene has always
fowed in Daft Punks veins, with Discov-
ery especially being somewhat of a tribute
to it by sampling songs from the period
and bringing them back to the modern day,
RandomAccess Memories takes a step
further and wants to be the real deal rather
than just a tribute. Daft Punk has drafted
legends of the era like Nile Rodgers and
Giorgio Moroder into the studio and
utilized instruments of the period to craft
its music. Its two disco fanatics fulflling
their wild desires and ambitions, ignoring
what everyone else is doing or saying.
Sound self-indulgent? It is. Random
Access Memories carries all the signs of
an album in which no one outside its cre-
ators was allowed to say a word and which
has been perfectionistically worked on
for years in the depths of studios. Its 75
minutes long, carries songs so ambitious
they veer toward pretentious in shape of
multi-part suites and extended jams built
around spoken word passages; treats ideas
and sounds normally brushed off as corny
or dated with respect and love; and gener-
ally shows zero regard for what anyone
might think about it. And unlike what
youd expect from what is at frst glance a
disco album, its not particularly dancey,
either.
On the surface, it might be an album
heavily rooted in one of the most iconic
dance sounds of the recent music history, but
in its essence, RandomAccess Memories
is more of an auteur album, designed to tickle
your brain rather than move your feet:
-Lauri Hiltunen, PopMatters

Poet Andrea Gibson performed
at the Century Club of Scranton
(612 Jefferson Ave.) on Saturday,
May 18, to a full house of fans;
many had travelled the kind of
distance Scrantonians travel to
cities like New York and Phila-
delphia.
The Century Club, just a year
shy of celebrating its namesake
anniversary, has brought many
legendary acts to Scranton.
President Dottie Bosley invited
Gibson to sign the Clubs guest-
book, which boasts autographs of
such legendary poets as Robert
Frost and Langston Hughes.
Andrea Gibson has made her
way up the ranks of her poetic
predecessors, rattling the spoken
word scene, taking the frst win-
ning title of the Women of the
World Poetry Slam Champion,
selling more books than any
other author in the Write Bloody
Publishing crew, continuously
releasing CDs, and reaching an
audience ranging from the school
playground to the frontlines of
protests to sold-out theaters.
The evening began with
local talent. Andrea Talarico
McGuigans breath fowed like
the ocean lapping at the shore,
pulling the sand beneath the
waves of her poignant poetry,
which included a new piece she
premiered entitled Inheritance.
Eric Wilsons cadence chimed
quickly, like the pages of a fip
book, or a baseball card in the
spokes of a well-loved bicycle,
as he recounted childhood
memories and spun a tale of two
girls.
Wilsons latter poem is joined
by the work of many poets in
attendance of Saturday nights
event in Unidentifed No.
8, a zine released by Break-
ing Ground Poets. BGP and
Tunkhannock teacher Katie
Wisnosky were responsible for
bringing Andrea Gibson and
other spoken word artists, includ-
ing Jon Sands and Lauren Zuniga
to the region for performances
and workshops. Wisnosky hosted
a meet and greet for her students
and the Boulder, Colo., poet.
There are so many high
school students here tonight,
exclaimed Andrea Gibson. See-
ing people getting excited about
poetry that just didnt happen
when I was in high school.
Gibson appreciates the value
of community-centric cultural
events and making poetry acces-
sible to a wide audience.
Im just traveling to all of
these places and getting to see
young people just really enthu-
siastic about poetry, and thats
whats got me excited the most.
After the meet and greet,
Gibson was feeling comfortable
a little too comfortable, she
confessed: I should start with
a poem that makes me nervous.
They all make me nervous, so Ill
just start talking.
She opened with I Sing the
Body Electric, Especially When
My Powers Out, an audience
favorite poem that often makes
the top of her setlist and a self-
proclaimed love poem to her
body.
Many of Gibsons poems
muster images of the body and
raise questions of gender queer
identity, family relations, social
tolerance, civil rights, and other
social issues, often woven into
gut-wrenching verses. Gibson,
whose CDs of piano and violin
accompanied poetry, also in-
cludes pre-recorded music in her
live shows. The songs some-
times entering at a striking line
break, sometimes kicking off the
poem always have the affect
of a cinematic score, striking
supplementary chords in time
with Gibsons stunning lines,
captivating gestures, and overall
stage presence.
Gibson performed a mix of
old and new material during
her headlining set, including an
emphatically delivered Prism,
a rounded, bouncing Blue Blan-
ket, and a tear-jerking Sleep-
ing from her latest book, The
Madness Vase. Gibson admitted
she had changed lines in Swing-
set, from 2005 CD Bullets and
Windchimes, after realizing
their judgmental nature didnt ft
the spirit of the poem.
Im always learning, she
explained. You change your
mind and your heart, they change
form week to week.
One thing that wont change
is Gibsons love for Squash, her
shaggy little rescue dog. Gib-
sons love poem to her dog left
everyone in the crowd includ-
ing Gibsons friend and D.C.
Slam Champ Natalie E. Illum
smiling.

After the breakup of Wilkes-
Barre nu metal group Absolution
last year, drummer Tom Godin
II and guitarist Ian Zuckerman
wasted no time in starting a new
project.
Eventually joined by singer
Corey Kipps, guitarist Tyler Metz,
and bassist Bryan Jackson, they
became Digital Collapse, an alter-
native metal act with a heavy, yet
melodic sound and high aspira-
tions.
Even before their frst show at
Dianes Deli & Internet Cafe (206
S Main St., Pittston) on Saturday,
May 25, the quintet recorded an
EP (due for release in July) with
Sevendusts Clint Lowery at
Architekt Music in Butler, N.J.,
preparing for the road ahead to
stardom. Godin talked with The
Weekender about the new band
and how they plan to get there.
THE WEEKENDER: What
led to the breakup of Absolution
and the formation of this new
group?
TOM GODIN II: (Absolution)
solidifed a lineup about two years
ago, and we did a couple na-
tional tours. We recorded a couple
albums, and ultimately in the end,
I just found that I wanted to do
something else stylistically. The
one guitar player that we got from
Winchester, Va. me and him
clicked right away and we decided
we wanted to do something a little
different: a little more technical-
ity, guitar work, a little more
melodic vocals. We enjoyed what
we did in Absolution, and I think
it parted on decent terms. I still
talk to most of the guys from it.
W: How are the bands simi-
lar, and how are they different?
TG: Theyre similar because
its still a heavy sound, but it still
has a radio-friendly vibe to it
It has just enough of that edge of
heaviness that were hoping to
kind of grasp both audiences with.
I would describe it as a heavy,
alternative metal, but still hard
rock. Its very similar to bands
like Deftones, Sevendust maybe.
Its a little more guitar-oriented,
kind of like a Killswitch (Engage)
or an All That Remains, but the
vocals are more melodic. There
are not a whole lot of heavy,
heavy vocals. Our vocalist has a
great voice If you take out the
vocals, it could be really, really
heavy, but the vocals kind of bring
it back to a more mainstream feel.
Hopefully its something that
people enjoy.
W: You guys already have
an EP. Why was it important
to make the record frst before
playing live?
TG: One of our goals when
we started this new band was we
wanted to be a national recording
artist, so that was our mentality
from the start. To do that, you
really have to have a product
thats ready to go and on par with
whats out there, so we wrote a
couple tunes that we thought were
really good. We just wanted to go
all out with it, and we wanted it
to be something thats on par with
what you would go out to buy at
a record store. We dont want it
to sound like we cut corners or
anything like that.
W: How did you end up meet-
ing Clint Lowery and working
with him?
TG: I believe it was Septem-
ber. We were on Facebook and
Clint Lowery posted that he
was looking for bands that were
interested in production work, and
what I noticed about it was the
studio that he was working out of
I actually knew, and I knew the
engineer and I knew the guy that
owned it because we had played
a show there before because they
also have a live venue there. It
just caught our eye.
He wanted to work with us,
and we went to the studio and
we cut a four-song EP. It just got
done being mixed this week, and
it goes to Sterling Sound on the
31st and its being mastered by
Ted Jensen. We said we wanted
a product that is 150 percent and
gave it our all. We felt it was im-
portant to have that aspect taken
care of beforehand; now its time
to concentrate on our live show.
W: What has he like to work
with?
TG: It was a really cool experi-
ence. Hes a really down-to-earth
dude. Hes really humble, and
hes a great guitar player and a
great writer. He threw a lot of
ideas at us. It was just amazing
how creative he is after being in
Sevendust for like 15 years, and
hes worked with some other
bands. Hes done Dark New Day,
he has a couple side projects, and
after all that music has gotten
out of his system, hes still that
creative. Its just amazing. He hit
us with a lot of good ideas that we
took advantage of and it ended up
making the songs better.
W: What do you have
planned for this debut show?
TG: We plan on having a really
solid show together, a really solid
stage presence, really high energy,
powerful. We want to just come
out, this is who we are, and just
grab peoples attention with it.
We have a 40-minute set. A
big change with this band is we
did a lot of work with program-
ming and stuff like that, so we do
run programming live. It made it
sound thicker, more polished I
think its one of the things thatll
make the live show bigger and
sound more full.
W: What are you most look-
ing forward to about the show
personally?
TG: Im looking forward to
the fan reaction, crowd reaction.
Im looking forward to seeing
what peoples thoughts are on it,
especially in this area because we
havent played a show in like a
year and half, since Absolutions
last show, and Im hoping to see
familiar faces out there and just
see what they think of the music.
Were here to put in the work
and do whatever it takes to
make this our career, one way or
another.

One of my earliest and
fondest memories that my mom
seems to bring up quite often is
when George Michael had his
song Faith.I would actu-
ally wear the leather coat, stand
against the wall, play the acous-
tic guitar with the jeans, cowboy
boots, sunglasses the whole
spiel, Destination West singer
Mike Baresse recalled during an
interview with The Weekender.
I was always singing and
doing impersonations growing
up. My mother always said its
funny how back then I did the
George Michael version, and
then, years later, she heard me
screaming the Limp Bizkit ver-
sion of Faith. I guess it all sort
of came full circle.
The 29-year-old Scranton
natives life has indeed circled
around music, particularly when
he formed Destination West with
fellow West Sider Mickey Bar-
rett on drums, becoming a staple
of local clubs, bars, and casinos.
Now joined by Steve Walski
on guitar and Bob Hallock on
bass, the heavy metal group is
celebrating its 10th anniversary
at The V Spot (906 Providence
Rd., Scranton), giving Baresse
a chance to refect on a decade
doing what he loves.
The band began with a South-
ern California vibe similar to
Sublime or the Red Hot Chili
Peppers, but harder infuences
started shining through, par-
ticularly on albums like In the
Name of Chaos in 2007 and
Abandon All Reason in 2010.
I think initially Nick and
myself wanted to take over the
world, and secretly, we still
do, Baresse said of the bands
origins with a laugh.
It is no secret, but I think we
have the same mentalities we
had then. We do want to have
fun, and we are having fun. It
was about partying and girls
thats part of the scene but
now were adults. Ive got a
family, I have kids, Im married;
we have responsibilities, but we
still have fun with what were
doing. Its defnitely an escape.
Its defnitely the same feeling
we got when we initially said,
Lets play live.
I never started the band for
just sts and giggles. I always
wanted to take it as far as pos-
sible Even now, at the 10 year
marker, were like, Lets just
see what happens.
That ambitious energy hasnt
aged a bit, invigorated by the
current lineup.
Nick and I are probably the
primary writers in the band,
although Steve and now even
Bob are starting to chime in.
Nick and I usually put our heads
together; it could be about two
different topics, sometimes the
same, he explained, though
they always end up on the same
page ultimately.
With my guitar riffs, I just
try to write uplifting, heavy
riffs. Thats the direction were
headed heavy, crunchy, loud
guitars. And lyrically, I try to
write from the heart, and I usu-
ally do write from the heart, but
sometimes I want to write songs
that are relatable amongst our
friends, family, fans just rock
n roll.
One of the secrets to their
ever-growing popularity is their
ability to play a variety of cover
songs, fromAlice In Chains to
System of a Down to AC/DC
to Neil Young, choosing bar-
friendly music while sticking to
the roots theyre infuenced by.
One of my favorites is Aero-
smiths Cryin because I love
Steven Tyler and its a challenge
for me to sing that song every
time, the way he screams and
the notes he can hit girls love
it, couples love it, guys love
it. Even if theyre metalheads,
theyre singing every single
word to Aerosmiths Cryin.
And my all-time favorite is our
rendition of Robert Teppers No
Easy Way Out from Rocky IV,
where hes driving the Corvette.
We put a lot of energy into that
song, he emphasized.
We keep it pretty close,
though we amp it up a little. We
scream in the one part, but it
defnitely brings the most energy
to our set. I might even do some
jumping jacks, drop down and
do a couple push-ups every
guy and girl in the crowd is just
screaming, Theres no easy way
out! every time we play it.
Then they introduce their
original tunes the right way,
by slipping them in between
songs the crowd already knows.
Well go fromAvenged
Sevenfold into one of our songs
and then into Rage Against the
Machine and just say the one be-
fore was an original, and people
dont even realize it. Some
people are in there banging their
heads, singing the words like
they know it.
Baresses favorite gig, hands
down, was opening on the
Monster Energy stage at Cre
Fest 2 in 2009 with Rev Theory,
though another show at The
Woodlands Inn in Wilkes-Barre
allowed the band to party like
rock stars without the expensive
cleanup.
We played with Tantric
and Saliva at The Woodlands,
and that was a blast. We got
backstage. We were hanging out
with the bands. They were all
drinking, we were drinking, and
I went and the lady behind the
bar said, What tab are you on?
I said, Tab? I dont know. Im
in Destination West. She said,
Who? I didnt hear you. I said,
I dont know, Tantric? So we
were all drinking shots and beers
all night on Tantrics tab, he
related with a chuckle.
It was legendary.
Between full nights with his
band and corner bar acoustic
sets in his hometown, Baresse
performs an average of four
nights a week or more, creating
his own legendary status in the
local scene.
I do genuinely enjoy doing
itAbad day fshing is better
than a good day working. Youre
making money, and youre doing
what you love. Youre having
fun. If you want, you can have
a couple drinks. Youre always
talking to people, he noted.
The only hard part is when
you like to party and you like
to have a good time, especially
with a family, youve got to
know when to just be there for
work and not for recreation.
Youre in the scene all the time.
Youve got to know when to
just show up, get home, do your
thing. Everyone around you is
partying, drinking, and youre
like, Here we go again.
Destination West has had its
share of peaks and valleys
over the years, but its currently
hitting a new peak as they work
on a ffth record and prepare to
open for RED on Friday, May
31 at Brews Brothers West (75
Main St., Luzerne). The focus
right now, however, is on mak-
ing the 10th anniversary show
one of their best yet; Baresse
is even opening for himself
with his side project, Unlikely
Heroes.
Im looking forward to a
great turnout. I just hope a lot of
our fans from years past come
out. Over the years, you lose
contact with so many. Id love to
see some of our old band mem-
bers there supporting us because
most of them that ended up leav-
ing band left for legit reasons.
We were pretty much on good
terms with everyone, he said.
I hope everyone has a good
time and appreciates all the other
acts we have on the bill. I just
want everyone to have a good
time and celebrate 10 years.
Whether his future is touring
the country or just continuing to
rock NEPA, Baresse believes he
will be happy, though he admits
he wouldnt mind just one hit.
I would like to get one, just
some steady royalties coming in
so when Im older, therere still
playing my song and Im like,
Yep, Im still getting paid for
that, he said.
This is where my home is
Scranton. I had Destination West
when I was 20 years old, think-
ing I wanted to be a California
band. Life happens, but its not
to say that we still cant get out
there. Its just that I have to tour
and come back home.
I just want to keep progress-
ing, keep writing, keep getting
better. I want Destination West
to be legendary, whether its
worldwide or just in NEPA.

For the most part, Star Trek
fans hate J.J. Abrams and what
he has done to their beloved fran-
chise. But, all things considered,
they probably should hate him.
He isnt making flms like Star
Trek Into Darkness for anyone
who has every worn a Starfeet
uniform to jury duty for any rea-
son other than trying to get out of
jury duty.
Hes making these flms for
those who demand their summer
movies to be flled with scenes
of terrorism that are both glossy
and 3D friendly, for those who
require their supporting actresses
to be seen in only the fnest,
silkiest bras available, and for
those who need their Benedicts
to be as Cumberbatch-y as pos-
sible. In other words, Abrams
has made Star Trek for the rest
of us. Hes giving us the sexy,
stupid Star Trek we were too
ashamed to realize we wanted.
Setting the predictably Spiel-
bergian tone early on, Star Trek
Into Darkness opens with a
scene that could almost ft inside
any Indiana Jones movie. As
Kirk (Chris Pine) and Bones
(Karl Urban) attempt to outrun a
primitive tribe of aliens and their
spears, Spock (Zachary Quinto)
is attempting to defuse a volcano
with a cold fusion bomb.
Unfortunately, Spock manages
to get himself trapped and would
rather die a fery death than vio-
late the Prime Directive. Against
Spocks objections, Kirk trans-
ports him aboard the Enterprise
just moments before the bomb
goes off. Kirks valiant efforts
are repaid with a court-martial.
However, the court-martial
doesnt stick and Kirk is reinstat-
ed as a Starfeet captain when all
of the living captains are killed
in a terroristic attack orchestrated
by an enigmatic fgure known as
John Harrison (Cumberbatch).
Once the smoke clears, Kirk
and the crew of the Enterprise
are dispatched to Klingon-con-
trolled territory to kill Harrison.
But who is Harrison really, and
are the crew members of the En-
terprise merely pawns in a bigger
game to jumpstart an unneces-
sary war?
As noted earlier, Star Trek
Into Darkness really isnt for
the diehard or even the casual
Trekkie. Sure, there are little
nods to things like the Tribbles
and Nurse Chapel, but for the
most part, Abrams flm seems
nakedly calculated to piss off the
fans. For example, a major plot
point in the flm that subverts and
repurposes one of the major plot
points found in Star Trek II: The
Wrath of Khan has managed to
spark porcine squeals of defance
from the online community.
But if you can cast aside this
pedantic nitpickery, youll fnd
that Star Trek Into Darkness is
the kind of summer movie that
allows you to ignore your awful
brain and all of the paranoid or
distressingly horny thoughts that
go with it and fnally enjoy the
sight of very pretty people crush-
ing the heads of people with
varying degrees of prettiness as
they majestically scoot around
in the cold vacuum of space
searching for airlocks. Look, its
hot outside (not here but some-
where), weve all worked hard;
its time to stop worrying about
plot holes or whether or not
Pines Kirk comes off like a dim
fratboy and just enjoy the movie
like a family! Jesus Christ!
At any rate, no matter what
you feel about Star Trek Into
Darkness, youve got to hand
it to Abrams. In spite of wide-
spread public derision, its nice
to know he is not easing up on
those lens fares any time soon.
Flare on you crazy diamond.
Flare on.

Star Trek Into Darkness may not have the feel of the old se-
ries, but director J.J. Abrams gives general audiences what
they want.

The woman Upstairs
Clair Messude
Rating: W W W V
A life unlived
Not everything is always as it
seems. That alluring glow could
fade into oblivion, taking you
with it or, if you are lucky, re-
main forever. But if you did not
take the chance, are you really
living after all?
In Claire Messuds recent nov-
el, The Woman Upstairs, read-
ers are entrapped into a world of
psychological thrill. At frst the
novel reads as an unsuspecting
story of a woman undergoing a
serious mid-life crisis, but soon
the novel employs a peculiar cast
of characters that bring this tale
into full suspense.
Protagonist Nora Eldridge was
once a woman defned by her
passion for an extraordinary life.
Creative and resilient, Nora had
the chance to take hold of the
world. Unfortunately, one com-
promise after the next left Nora
a bleak shadow of that person,
forcing her to spend her present
days full of regret.
Im angry because Ive tried
so hard to get out of the hall of
mirrors, this sham and pretend of
the world []. And behind every
mirror is another [] mirror, and
down every corridor is another
corridor, and the Fun House isnt
fun anymore and it isnt even
funny, but there doesnt seem to
be a door marked EXIT.
Readers fnd Nora in Cam-
bridge, Mass., teaching Appleton
Elementary students about a
world of opportunity that she
has all but missed out on. In the
middle of her life, she questions
nearly every step she has taken.
Her days are humdrum and her
sense of adventure is dwindling.
She is desperate in her attempts
to socialize and, without a family
to call her own, she begins to
fantasize what life might be like
if she lived a little.
But Noras life is about to be
changed forever when she meets
the charming and mysterious
Shahid family. Noras newest
student, Reza, is the son of two
prominent parents: his father,
Lebanese-born Skandar, is a pro-
fessor, and his mother, Italian-
born Sirena, is an artist.
The novel takes readers
through several years as Nora
gains the trust of the Shahid
family and her relationship
grows with each of them. There
are several aspects in the novel
where Nora makes readers finch,
a result of her own insecurity and
desperation in now attempting to
live after she spent many years in
the dark.
As Messud pulls readers
further in, we began to see the
complicated and obsessive nature
of Noras love for the Shahid
family, something that ultimately
becomes destructive. Neverthe-
less, The Woman Upstairs is a
haunting work that leaves read-
ers with a twist at the conclusion,
making us question our own
perception of reality.

Tracies music can be found
at reverbnation.com/tracie,
where two tracks can be
downloaded for free.
By Rich Howells
Weekender Editor
T
he MayDay Music
Festival combines
an enduring passion
for music with the
utmost respect of the United
States Armed Forces, and
few Northeast Pennsylvania
residents represent those two
sides better than Sgt. Tracie
Slempa.
She rst displayed her
musical talent to the public at
a talent show in seventh grade;
her patriotic side came out as a
teenager at Pittston Area High
School.
When I was 18, I would sing
the national anthem for every
single home football game,
basketball game, wrestling
meet, and I was actually
approached about signing with
an independent label. I did that
for 18 months, but that kind
of turned sour. It didnt go
well for me, but it a learning
experience, Slempa recalled.
Once I turned 21, I started
going out to the bars doing
karaoke, and then I just
started working with
different artists in
the area. I started
writing my own
music when I
was 21; Ive
been doing it ever since.
The now 29-year-old Pittston
native thought about enlisting
in the military in high school,
but she joined the ranks of the
109th Mobile Public Affairs
Detachment of the Army
National Guard at 22 after
enduring many personal trials,
including the devastating loss
of her infant son, which pushed
her to do something positive
for herself while serving her
country as well.
This didnt end Slempas
musical career, however it
amplied it.
I just love both (music and
the military), and they mesh
well for me. When I deployed
to Iraq I was in Iraq from
2010 to 2011 I actually did
a lot of MWR events: Morale,
Welfare, and Recreation The
biggest part that I did in Iraq
was sing the national anthem
for everything, she explained,
including for the Tostitos
Connect to Home Bowl
ag football game with NFL
legends Jim Kelly and Rodney
Peete in 2010.
I actually wrote a lot when
I was over there, and when I
came home. Before I left, I
probably had two or three songs
recorded, and when I came
home, I was at (JL Studios in
Wyoming) almost every week.
I would book it at least once a
week for a few months.
Ive been through a lot of
stuff in my life, and music is
my therapy and writing is my
therapy. Writing, performing,
singing everything rolled into
one is my stress reliever. Thats
my biggest passion in life.
Her original song Remain
True was written before
her deployment,
though most of her
personal and poppy
R&B songs were
written during her
almost seven years of
service.
Its a positive
song. Its pretty
much everything
that Im going to
experience, all the
doors that its going
to open for me, all the
opportunities that are going
to come its along the lines of
that. (The military) really, really
inuenced my music in a lot of
ways, she noted.
Everything that Ive written,
Ive been through.
Slempa, who simply goes by
Tracie as an artist, collaborated
on some tracks with Rukus,
a Wilkes-Barre rapper who
invited her onstage to perform
with him at last years MayDay
Music Festival at Kirby Park.
The experience led to MayDay
organizer Rich Perry asking her
to sing on her own this year on
the HipHop Stage on Saturday,
May 25 at 2:10 p.m.
Im just honored that Rich
asked me to be a part of it and
thought of me Its an honor
because I am a part of the
military. Im a soldier, and I get
to perform in front of friends
and family and everyone else
thats going to be there and
express my music to everyone,
Slempa said.
One of my biggest pulls in
life is to get my music out there
and to get as many people to
listen to it at possible, so being
a soldier and being part of the
event is a blessing I want (the
audience) to take away from my
performance what I put into it.
She feels that members of
the Armed Forces dont often
receive the credit they deserve
for their service, so the festival
not only serves as a platform for
the public to be exposed to great
local music, but also as a way
to spread awareness of the daily
sacrices soldiers make across
the world.
Im a broadcaster in the
military, so Im pretty much
like a news reporter We
bring out the best in everybody
and what they do People in
day-to-day life, I think, take
for granted exactly what they
have because I remember going
over there and it was a culture
shock. I was able to adapt to the
environment, but at the same
time, being away from home,
being away from your family,
constantly working every single
day without a day off They
really dont realize what they
have, Slempa emphasized.
I think its good, especially
in this area, that members of the
Armed Forces are recognized
for exactly what they do because
it really plays an important
role in America because you
have soldiersserving in
Afghanistan, Iraq, Germany,
Korea, and its all to protect
the United States of America.
So for them to have an event
like MayDay in recognition of
the Armed Forces, with all the
proceeds going to them, I think
its fantastic because you dont
really see that a lot.

ven in its sixth year,
there is still more
being added to the
MayDay Music Festival, such
as the Community Arts and
Open Mic Pavilion. As the
organizing group, Sector One
Entertainment, has expanded
itself, the talented crew felt it
was only right to reect this
growth through MayDay.
MayDay Music Festival
started out solely as that a
music festival, Sector One Vice
President and MayDay Senior
Event Coordinator Rich Perry
said.
However, over the years,
Sector One has grown to cover
all aspects of music, art, and
culture. That said, we want to
create an entire community
experience that all people from
our community can come and
take part in and showcase
their skills and groups. We are
fans and lovers of the arts, no
matter what discipline, and we
wanted to include as many as
we could.
This year, the Gaslight
Theatre Company and Riot
Hooping &Aerial Dance will
take the stage, with open time
slots dedicated to open mic
performances.
We are able to keep it fresh
because not only are we artists
ourselves, but we are also fans.
If we cant or dont enjoy our
By Rich Howells &
Sara Pokorny
Weekender Staff
own event, then how can we
expect others to enjoy it? Perry,
who will emcee the Drum &
Bass Stage as Diesis-I, noted.
Ill denitely be dancing
in the grass somewhere or
checking out some cool
performances when Im not
working.
The proceeds from the event
will go to the Family Readiness
Group of the deployed G Co
228/1st-109 FA, located in
Kingston.
They were chosen because
they are our local unit, Perry
said. They also help us by
donating tents, basic equipment,
and usually have soldiers in
uniform on hand to answer
questions and maintain a
military presence at MayDay.
The MayDay crew begins
planning for the event in
December, and from that point
forward, its a nonstop run to get
things as organized as possible.
It takes up quite a bit of time in
the lives of the crew members,
but thats something none of
them seem to mind. In fact, the
MayDay staff is in the process
of giving people an inside look
at the drive behind the events
coordinators.
We are currently working
on a short documentary just to
show people the hard work, not
to pat ourselves on the back, but
so people can understand how
truly passionate we are. We all
work full-time jobs, and, on top
of that, we throw our events and
plan MayDay, which is a full-
time job itself, Perry explained.
We wanted to do something
positive for our community and
the people in it. Since we chose
Memorial Day weekend to hold
our event, we wanted to keep
with the spirit of the holiday and
donate the proceeds to the men
and women of the armed forces,
to say thank you for all they do.
What better way to unite the
people in the community for
a common cause than through
music and art? The rhythm and
pulse of music is seen and felt
everywhere; its part of us as
humans and constant through
the universal ow of energy. Its
so positive, and its something
that everyone can relate to.
The 31-year-old Kingston
resident believes the secret to
the continuous progress and
success of MayDay lies in those
involved.

The dedicated organizers at Sector One Entertainment continue to keep the annual MayDay
Music Festival at Kirby Park fresh with new stages and performers.
MAYDAY CALLS FOR EXPANSION
Honestly, (its) the staff, and
more importantly, Sector One as
a unit. We are a family of artists,
promoters, and supporters. If it
wasnt for the people involved,
it wouldnt be the amazing
production that it is each and
every year, he pointed out.
And also the fans, he
continued. It means so much to
us to hear people talking about
our event, especially when they
introduce themselves at the
event to thank us, and they tell
us that they traveled from other
cities or even out of state just
to attend our festival. Thats the
greatest feeling ever.
And even for all the changes
the event itself has gone
through, the core message
and motivation remains the
same: honoring those in the
Armed Forces, and bringing a
community together to do so.
These brave men and
women leave their communities
physically but continue to serve
the people in a way that most
couldnt imagine, Perry said.
We think its extremely
important that we dont take this
service for granted. We should
remember this at all times,
but more than that, we should
do what we can to show our
gratitude.

Im a huge fan of The
Offce, smiled Dacre Stoker,
greeting his audience at the
Everhart Museum (1901
Mulberry St., Scranton) on
Wednesday, May 15 the way
most visitors greet a Scranto-
nian these days.
The great grandnephew of
Dracula author Bram Stoker
then asked, Does anyone
know if they still have the
tour? before apologizing if
he cut things a little short that
night; he had a long drive back
home to catch his favorite
sitcoms fnal episode.
Canadian-American writer
Dacre Stoker lives in Aiken,
South Carolina. He is the great
grandnephew of famed author
Bram Stoker and manages his
estate.
Stoker came to the Ever-
harts current exhibition, The
Blood Is the Life: Vampires
in Art & Nature, to present
his lecture Stoker on Stoker.
The author of Dracula the
Undead said he feels a re-
sponsibility to introduce Bram
Stoker to fans of Dracula and
vampire everywhere. Dacres
assessment that people knew
more about Count Chocula
than his great granduncle drew
a big laugh, but it illustrated
his point perfectly. Bram is a
virtual unknown compared to
his iconic creation.
In his lifetime, Bram Stoker
was a celebrated author well
before the publication of his
masterpiece. His biography
tells an interesting story of
sickly child who grew to a be
champion collegiate athlete,
working as a civil servant in
the Irish fght against British
oppression and even befriend-
ing the likes of literary con-
temporaries Mark Twain and
Walt Whitman.
These interesting facts pale
to the life events that led to
creation of his masterwork,
and Dacre shared his own
personal views as well. Singer/
songwriter Tom Waits, for
example, portrayed Dacre
Stokers favorite movie ver-
sion of Renfeld in Francis
Ford Coppolas 1992 flm
adaptation.
Want to learn more? Go to
bramstokerestate.com and visit
The Everhart Museum. The
Blood Is the Life: Vampires
in Art & Nature is open until
July 1.

Fashion meets function
at Arch Comfort
Be nice to your feet! They
support your weight; they bend,
stretch, and point. They take
you from place to place and
work overtime at the gym. But
instead of treating them gently,
most women shove them into
sky high heels, crush toes to ft
into the seasons latest peep toe,
and completely trash that arch
with our not-so-practical fash-
ions. But its not just us girls
who get nightly foot cramps for
fashion even guys can make
critical errors with unsupportive
sneakers or dress shoes.
Arch Comfort (355 Market
St., Kingston) offers a solution
for the fashion lovers of NEPA.
Not only do they have a medi-
cally trained staff of pedorthists
(a professional who has special-
ized training to modify foot-
wear and supportive devices to
address conditions which affect
the feet and lower limbs), but
they also carry a large selec-
tion of designer brands! This
isnt your typical shoe store that
you would fnd in a department
store or boutique.

It seems the gauntlet has been
thrown, but Sal Scalzo has the con-
fdence to be the man behind it.
It might sound cocky or ar-
rogant, but I swear, coming out the
chute, I would put us up against
any Italian restaurant in the area.
Scalzos confdence comes with
good reason: hes got a restaurant
that has both smoking and non-
smoking sections, a ton of TVs,
takeout beer and food, and an au-
thentic Italian cook in the kitchen.
Angelinas Bar and Restau-
rant, located on Mundy Street in
Wilkes-Barre, attached to G Club
10, is Scalzos newest project, an
establishment that just released its
full-on menu last weekend.
The atmosphere of the restaurant,
which is named for Scalzos since-
passed aunt Angeline, is a casual
one, with separate entrances for the
bar and dining room. The bar area
is trimmed in diamond plate, and
there are televisions everywhere on
hooks.
One big screen in the dining
room, four in
the bar area, 13
TVs altogether,
Scalzo said.
We fgured that
in the fall, when
we start opening
on Sundays as well for football,
wed put four primary games on
the big screens in the bar and the
four other games on the smaller
screens.
The walls are otherwise bare for
the time being, with Scalzo plan-
ning to decorate the bar area with
black and white photos of sports
fgure, politicians, and big events
in history and the dining room with
photos of Italy his daughter Marina
took while in the country.
The decision to have a smok-
ing bar area was an easy one for
Scalzo.
I saw the need for it, he said.
I saw people standing outside res-
taurants smoking and thought that
there should be a place for those
people to smoke and eat.
Those who may be wary of a
dingy atmosphere due to cigarettes
need not worry. Scalzo said that
for the Super Bowl this year, there
were 80 people in the 12-foot-
ceilinged bar area and you couldnt
even tell smoking was going on.
The smoke-eaters run 24/7, he
said. I run them even when no one
is in here. They clean the air, purify
it 14 times an hour.
The bar stocks everything one
would fnd in a typical setup, with
eight beers on tap. Scalzo said there
are specialty drinks planned for the
future.
As far as the food is concerned,
Scalzo said the stuffed white and
fresh tomato, garlic, and basil piz-
zas are some notable menu items.
Whats better is that you can get a
combination of both through the
Sals Special, stuffed with fresh
tomato, basil,
and garlic on top
of it.
Theres also
killer vodka
sauce; black
tiger shrimp
stuffed with
white horseradish, wrapped in
bacon, and glazed with honey
barbecue sauce; and Sammys Hot
Sicilian Sandwich, a creation of
cook Sammy Morganti. The mas-
sive sandwich has ham, salami,
pepperoni, capicola, roasted pep-
pers, mozzarella and provolone
cheese, and artichoke hearts baked
on ciabatta bread.
Scalzo even stops himself in
his tracks talking about the fare at
Angelinas.
I mean, the Sammy Sicilian,
he said before pausing. Its just so
good. I need to watch it, or Im go-
ing to be like 400 pounds just from
working here.
In addition to the family friendly
atmosphere and good eats, Scalzo
just wants to ensure that his cus-
tomers come back over and over
again due to a quality thats upheld.
I want it to be consistent every
time theyre here, he said. I want
the food to be just as good every
time youre here and for people
to feel as though they got enough
food, and for a decent price.

Angelinas ready to
be the best
By Sara Pokorny
Weekender Staff Writer
Indulge and still t into
that bathing suit
I opened up my dresser
drawer the other day and there
it was, staring back at me: my
bathing suit.
Yes, its that time of the year
again, the season to get all the
crunches and runs you can in
before donning swimwear.
While exercise is certainly
important, the biggest part of
healthy living is what comes
from your kitchen. While Ive
never followed the food rules of
Weight Watchers myself, I have
family members and friends
who have and they love some
of the recipes theyve gotten out
of it.
These Chicken and Rice
Stuffed Bell Peppers are one
such recipe, a meal thats worth
six Weight Watchers points.
And, bonus if you sub in low
fat cheese you can knock this
puppy down to only fve points.
Thankfully, this is a dish that
doesnt forego good taste for
health, either, so you can nosh
away guilt-free while still giving
your taste buds a treat.
First, melt butter or margarine
in a large saucepan over medium
heat, then add cel-
ery and cook until
tender, for about
fve minutes.
Stir in condensed
mushroom soup,
onion soup mix, and
water or chicken
broth. Ive heard of
people doing this
with either of those,
but have found that
the chicken broth,
which I used, makes
it more favorful.
Stir in chicken
and heat through,
then stir in rice.
After that, remove the mixture
from the heat.
Get to work on your peppers
by halving and gutting them,
then place them cut side up on a
shallow baking pan. Distribute
the chicken mixture throughout,
packing the peppers in up to the
top. Sprinkle lemon pepper sea-
soning on the top. Throw some
clear wrap on them and refriger-
ate for up to 24 hours.
When youre ready to cook
them, cover the peppers loosely
with foil and chuck them in
an oven heated to 350 degrees
Fahrenheit for about an hour.
Remove them when heated
through, sprinkle cheese on top,
and bake for another fve min-
utes, until the cheese melts.
Aword of warning it gets
messy once you take a fork to it,
so just be prepared. Otherwise,
eat away, and the next time you
encounter your bathing suit like
I did, it wont feel like such a
menacing thing.

WANT THE WEEKENDER TO VISIT YOUR
ESTABLISHMENT FOR A TASTE TEST?
Moving can often make you question all of the possessions youve
collected over the years.
This is your life, passing by
one box at a time
There comes a time in every
geeks life when he must leave
the nest and venture yonder
or about three and a half minutes
away from the house he grew up
in. Whichever.
Either way, moving out is a
big pain for everyone involved
for the folks who are sad to
see their baby all grown up, for
the backs of those doing all the
heavy lifting, and especially
for the geek with one too many
collectibles. I never thought Id
ever put too many and col-
lectibles in the same sentence,
but when youre moving, your
perspective has to change.
You have to start thinking
about bills much larger than a
car payment. You have to have
insurance on practically every-
thing even your couch. You
have to start calculating taxes
and mortgages and solving math
problems in your checkbook
that you hoped to leave behind
in high school algebra. And you
really, to paraphrase the late,
great George Carlin, need to fnd
a bigger place for all your stuff.
I rented a few years ago with
mixed results, so now it was
house-hunting time. Adecent-
sized bedroom, a kitchen worth
cooking in, and a living room
with ample living (and loafng)
space were all on the list, but re-
ally, deep down, I knew it had to
have a mancave, a special place
for all those comic books, action
fgures, statues, posters, and
other junk that makes so many
spousal eyes roll that they may
just be what causes the world to
go round.
The term mancave implies
that I need to get away from
some corrupting feminine infu-
ence, but thats not really the
case at all. Its actually just to
ensure that whenever Im feel-
ing low, want to reminisce, or
need inspiration, I can just step
inside and think about heroes
and villains in colorful tights
beating each other up instead of
deadlines and overdue payments
and neighborhood children who
never shut up despite the late-
ness of the hour. OK, so maybe
thats an oversimplifcation of
things.
Stuff cannot buy you happi-
ness, but its not all evil either.
For a geek, collectibles represent
the characters and stories behind
them, the fun times following
their adventures through child-
hood, the philosophical implica-
tions of these tales debated by
teenagers in diners in the early
morning hours, and the lasting
impression theyve left on us as
adults. At least thats how it is
for me.
Theres a compulsive, capi-
talistic side to it that is hard to
ignore, of course, but as long
as food is on the table, bills are
paid, and life goes on, whats the
harm in a few pieces of molded
plastic? Sports fans are just as
fanatical, sometimes even more
so, so let the boys (or the girls)
have their toys as long as it
doesnt turn into reality show
hell.
The moving process, though,
is where the test of true fandom
comes in. Those comic long-
boxes can get pretty heavy when
theyre lugged up and down
stairs. And how many Rubber-
maid containers do you think
Ill need? What do you mean
20 cases isnt enough? Did I
really need to buy every obscure
Star Wars character with two
seconds of screen time in the
Power of the Force line? What
do you mean my Wolverine
cardboard standup wont ft in
the back seat?
You really start to question
yourself why do I need all
this? Are there pieces here I
could part with for the sake of
my aching feet? Do I actually
have room for all these? But
then thoughts turn to how cool
this is all going to look when the
shelves go up and the comics
are all organized alphabetically.
Its even better when you have a
partner who wont judge you for
such things, at least out loud.
It all sits in boxes
and bags around me
now as I type this,
and yes, in the end,
it was worth it. Little
touches around the
house are already
fnding their place,
but the cave will not
be ready for some
time, as other priori-
ties come to the fore-
front as my life gets
signed away, but all
the odd little pieces
of my childhood are
there, pieces that will
now shape my adult-
hood.
Or at least one big
room of it, anyway.

Summer beer is here
Beer: Summer Ale
Brewer: Brooklyn Brewery
Style: English Pale Ale
ABV: 5.0%
Description: Brooklyns
Summer Ale pours a clear gold-
en yellow with a wispy cloud-
like white head that quickly
thins out, but lingers. The
aromas all bring about thoughts
of enjoyable summer days from
the citrus/earthy hops to the
refreshing malt and even subtle
hints of lemon and iced tea. The
taste of this beer is again perfect
for summer weather, very light
and extremely refreshing. The
initial favor that comes through
is the English malt with hints of
lemon and notes of hops follow-
ing quickly, but not in an IPA
biting sense: more of a soothing
caress on the taste buds that
cleanses the palate. The fnal
subtle taste that comes through
is that of fresh-brewed iced tea
before a wonderful crisp fnish.
The carbonation and body for
the beer are perfect for the style
and make the beer undeniably
refreshing. If it is possible to put
summer into a bottle, I believe
that Brooklyn Brewery has done
it with this magnifcent beer.
Food pairing: This is a very
versatile beer, but it is abso-
lutely perfect for your entire
summer foodstuff. Any grilled
meats are wonderful, especially
a juicy burger straight off the
grill, which is just heaven on a
plate with this beer. The won-
derful English malt seemingly
melds into the favors of the
meat, and for an added treat,
have yourself a nice applewood
smoked burger with this beer
and just enjoy being alive. This
is also a great beer to have with
some lighter dishes, such as
a nice summer salad with or
without meat. Another great
accompaniment to this beer is
seafood dishes; whether you are
thinking fsh, shrimp, or clams,
Summer Ale is just perfect.
Another great time of day to
enjoy this beer is late morning
with a nice Sunday brunch; it is
light and refreshing enough to
have with your favorite omelet
or perfect with a hefty quiche.
Is it worth trying? Yes.
The light character of this beer
makes it the perfect accompani-
ment to the weather. Many of
the summer beers available
now seem to be flled with an
overabundance of lemon or
some other citrus fruit. While
I am certainly not diminishing
these beers, it is great to have a
beer that is light, refreshing, full
of taste, and not fruity. Brook-
lyns Summer Ale is just a per-
fect summer beer no matter how
you look at it. It is unbelievably
refreshing and can be enjoyed at
any time during the day through-
out the summer season. On these
soon-to-be hot summer days,
whether you are outside doing
yard work, stuck inside working,
or just relaxing and enjoying
the day, grab yourself a bottle
of Brooklyns Summer Ale and
truly enjoy the weather and the
beer while you still can!

Where can I get it? Currently
available in bottles at: Weg-
mans, Dickson City; Beer Boys,
Wilkes-Barre; Krugels George-
town Deli & Beer, Wilkes-Barre;
and Goldsteins Deli, Kingston.
Remember, enjoy responsibly!

Metro an immersive shooter
In Metro: Last Light, we
return to the post-apocalyptic
Moscow subway system from
2010s Metro 2033 to help
save the remaining civilization
of humans from the outside
mutant threat and from each
other. The Metro series is a
frst-person shooter based on a
novel by Russian author Dmitry
Glukhovsky, and the frst game
from Ukrainian developer 4A
Games. The original Metro
2033 was praised for its
impressive visuals, immersive
game world, and story superior
to most shooters.
Deep in the underground
metro tunnels of Moscow, the
last remaining humans have
created a life for themselves af-
ter they are forced underground
because of the radiation left
behind from the nuclear war of
2013. The people and animals
that where left behind on the
surface mutated
from radiation
exposure into
creatures known
as the Dark
Ones, but they
are not the only
threat; there are also hostile
humans that want to take your
precious resources for them-
selves.
The metro is the not the ideal
place to live; it is overcrowded,
food is scarce, people mourn
the world they lost, and the
atmosphere is quite bleak and
oppressive, which serves the
game very well by making it
feel very rich and alive. It feels
like it could be a real world that
draws you in and ratchets up the
tension and drama.
The frst Metros game-
play did have its faws, though;
the A.I. was not great and the
shooting was troublesome.
Metro: Last Light fxes most
of the faws of 2033 while
improving on its strengths, de-
livering gameplay that matches
the exceptional story.
In Metro: Last Light, play-
ers still play as Artyom, the
main protagonist of 2033.
Artyom is a 20-something sur-
vivor and one of the frst-born
children of the metro. Artyom
and his friends fnd themselves
in the middle of several warring
human factions and the mutants
that live in the tunnels and on
the surface. One of the most in-
teresting things about the game
world is the politics behind the
different factions, and ths does
a lot to keep the story interest-
ing.
The game is quite linear, but
there are several settlements to
explore. Gather-
ing as many bul-
lets and recourses
as you can, each
outpost feels very
alive and helps
to expand the
fction, making the game world
feel very big. Searching each of
these areas is essential for gath-
ering equipment and survival
gear. Survival isnt easy, and it
comes down to having the right
inventory. You have to change
your gasmask flters and even
keep track of water supplies.
Finding different areas is not
the only way you will want to
explore; there are tons of people
to meet and have conversations
with, really feshing out the
story of the game. There are
also journal entries to fnd that
will also extend the fction.
If you play frst-person
shooters for nonstop action, this
might not be the game for you.
There is some action, but it is
mostly about stealth, explora-
tion, and story. This is more
like a stealth game than an ac-
tion shooter; in order to survive,
you have to sneak because
ammo is limited. You have to
outmaneuver and outsmart your
foes to proceed. Stealth doesnt
work well against mutants,
however, so sometimes there
is a necessity for gun-blazing
action.
My favorite part of the game
is the upgrade system; you
have to trade things that you
fnd, such as bullets and gear,
for better equipment. The cur-
rency is actually bullets. Its not
necessary to do this to complete
the game, but I had fun trying
to acquire the things I needed
for certain upgrades, and they
certainly can be very helpful
things to purchase.
One bit of warning: if you are
a PS3 owner, you might have
trouble with this game. There
are some frustrating technical
problems, such as graphical
hiccups and game freezing, but
if you save often, you can get
through it.
Overall, Metro: Last Light
is an interesting post-apocalyp-
tic shooter with an immersive,
living, breathing game world
flled with political intrigue and
a great cast of characters. Its
not a perfect experience because
of some technical glitches, but I
did have fun with it. If you are
sick of the standard FPS games
on the market, this one deserves
some attention. If you are look-
ing for a bombastic frag-fest,
then this game is not for you.

Go nude in
summer 2013
I want to take a break from
makeup this time to focus on
another area of cosmetics that
we all love nails! The past few
months we have seen feathers,
newspapers, crystals, beads,
focking, charms, studs, and
LOTS OF GLITTER, but this
season, were taking a step back
and keeping things simple.
Light creamy pastels, natural
nudes, and soft creams are taking
over, allowing more focus to be
directed towards the makeup and
clothing. Sheer glossy, almost
candy coated colors are popping
up everywhere from every brand;
one of my favor-
ites is Oxygen
by China Glaze
($7.50), which
is a light, almost
white semi-sheer
eggshell color.
Another in the
same family of
color is Jacque-
line from the new
spring collection
by Zoya ($8.00).
Sticking with the
same spring col-
lection from Zoya,
the color Neely
is a soft creamy
sea foam green. Butter London
also has that perfect creamy
opaque mint green called Fiver
($15.00). If you are going for the
sheer pink French manicure look
minus the white tips, I suggest
Bubble Bath by OPI ($9.00) or
Go Ginza, a soft cherry blos-
som pink from Essie ($8.00).
The term ombr isnt just for
your hair or lips anymore; now
you can create a simple ombr
look on your nails simply by
taking some of your older colors
from past collections in similar
families of color and apply one
color to each nail going from a
medium color to one of the new
sheer pastel colors! If you want
a more advanced nail ombr
take a makeup wedge and run it
under water, then wring out any
excess water. After you apply a
nice base coat to your nails, take
a pastel color of
your choice along
with a natural nude
color and apply
them in a swatch-
like pattern next to
each other on the
wedge, then press
onto the nail. Re-
peat this step until
you have your de-
sired opacity, then
with some nail pol-
ish remover, clean
up the area around
your nails (trust
me, its messy) and
youre fnished!
I like to fnish all my looks
with a matte top coat; my favor-
ite is Matte About You from
Essie ($10.00). It even gives
glitter polishes a more sand-like
appearance for a more satin
shimmer without all that glitter
glimmer.
Tip: Base coat is
an absolute must; its
that special barrier that
keeps unwanted oils
away that cause chip-
ping!
Trick: Create your
own nude polish that
matches your skin
tone perfectly by
adding your shade of
your favorite mineral
foundation to a clear
nail lacquer or top coat,
mix well, and voila, the
perfect nude for you!

News of the weird
BACKYARD BARNYARD
The Department of Agriculture
reported recently that in four of
Americas largest cities New
York, Miami, Los Angeles and
Denver nearly one home out
of 100 keeps chickens either for
a fresh egg supply or as pets, giv-
ing rise to chicken services such
as Backyard Poultry magazine,
MyPetChicken.com and Julie
Bakers Pampered Poultry store.
Among the most popular prod-
ucts are strap-on cloth diapers for
the occasions when owners bring
their darlings indoors, i.e., cuddle
their lap chickens. Also popular
are saddles for roosters, to
spare hens mating injuries ow-
ing to roosters brutal horniness,
sometimes costing hens most or
all of their back feathers from a
single encounter.
GOVERNMENT IN ACTION
Consider all the ways
were taxed, wrote Marylands
community Gazette in April
when were born, die, earn in-
come, spend it, own property, sell
it, attend entertainment venues,
operate vehicles and pass wealth
along after death, among others.
Maryland has now added a tax on
rain. To reduce stormwater runoff
into the Chesapeake Bay, the
Environmental Protection Agency
assessed the state $14.8 billion,
which the state will collect start-
ing in July by taxing impervious
surfaces any land area in its
10 largest counties that cannot
directly absorb rainwater, such
as roofs, driveways, patios and
sidewalks.
The Washington Post
reported in April that the fed-
eral government is due to spend
$890,000 this year to safeguard
nothing. The amount is the
total fees for maintaining more
than 13,000 short-term bank ac-
counts the government owns but
which have no money in them
and never again will. Closing the
accounts is easier said than done,
according to the watchdog Citi-
zens Against Government Waste,
because the accounts each housed
separate government grants, and
Congress has required that, be-
fore the accounts are closed, the
grants must be formally audited
something bureaucrats are
rarely motivated to do, at least
within the 180 days set by law
(though there is no penalty for
missing the deadline).
Its good to be the county
administrator of Alameda County,
Calif. (on San Francisco Bay,
south of Oakland). The San
Francisco Chronicle revealed
in March that somehow, Susan
Muranishi negotiated a contract
that pays her $301,000 a year,
plus equity pay of $24,000 a
year so that she makes at least 10
percent more than the next high-
est paid offcial, plus longevity
pay of $54,000 a year, plus a car
allowance and that she will be
paid that total amount per year as
her pension for life (in addition
to a private pension of $46,000
a year that the county purchased
for her).
The Way Washington
Works: (1) Congress established
a National Helium Reserve in
1925 in the era of zeppelin
balloons, but most consider it no
longer useful (most, that is, rang-
ing from President Reagan to the
Democratic congressman who in
1996 called it one program that,
if we cannot undo it, we cannot
undo anything). The House of
Representatives recently voted
394-1 to continue funding it
because of fears of a shortage
that might affect MRI machines
and, of course, party balloons. (2)
In rare (these days) bipartisan ac-
tion, congressional military ex-
perts of both parties are about to
force the Army to continue build-
ing Abrams tanks when the
Army said it doesnt want them
and cant use them. The tank
manufacturers, of course, have
convinced Congress that it needs
the contracts, no matter what the
Army says (according to an April
Associated Press analysis).
GREAT ART!
The Jewish Museum in Ber-
lin is currently staging what has
become popularly known as the
Jew in the Box exhibit to teach
visitors about Judaism simply
featuring one knowledgeable
Jewish person who sits in a chair
in a glass box for two hours a day
and answers questions from the
curious. Both supporters (We
Germans have many insecurities
when it comes to Jews) and crit-
ics (Why dont they give him a
banana and a glass of water (and)
turn up the heat?) are plentiful.
The weather in Hong Kong
on April 25 wreaked havoc on
American artist Paul McCarthys
outdoor, 50-foot-tall piece of in-
fatable art in the West Kowloon
Cultural District. Complex Pile
(a model of an arrangement of
excrement) got punctured, which
mostly pleased McCarthys
critics since his recent work, re-
ported the South China Morning
Post, has often centered around
bodily functions.
POLICE REPORT
News of the Weird has
reported several times on the
astonishing control that inmates
have at certain prisons in Latin
American countries, with drug
cartel leaders often enjoying lives
nearly as pleasurable as their
lives on the outside. However,
according to an April federal in-
dictment, similar problems have
plagued the City Detention Cen-
ter in Baltimore, where members
of the Black Guerrilla Family
operated with impunity. Between
2010 and 2012, corruption was
such that 13 female guards have
now been charged, including four
women who bore the children
of the gangs imprisoned leader,
Tavon White. Cellphones, drugs
and Grey Goose vodka were
among the smuggled-in contra-
band, and the indictment charges
that murders were ordered from
inside. (Baltimore City Paper had
reported 14 stories in 2009 and
2010 on the gang-related corrup-
tion at the center, but apparently
state and federal offcials had
failed to be alarmed.)
w
THE WEIRDO-AMERICAN COMMUNITY
The biggest news out of Newtown, Conn., recently not involving the
tragic shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School came when local
environmental ofcials announced on April 29 that they were inves-
tigating the nding of 200 to 300 one-gallon plastic jugs lled with
urine in a home in a state of disrepair. No charges were led against
the homeowner, but ofcials sought to assure neighbors and users of
the property that no health hazard was present. (The average person,
reported the Connecticut Post, produces about six cups of urine a day.)

Technological capabilities in the world today are vast, but
are we putting them to use the way we should be?
Technology, when applied
properly, can do a world of good
As I write this column, Im
a passenger in a vehicle thats
doing roughly 75 mph down the
interstate.
Theres nothing terribly
remarkable about that on the
surface. Everybody has a laptop
these days, and anyone whos
used a cell phone has done basi-
cally the same thing, since voice
and data are just different sides of
the same coin, as far as computers
are concerned.
But if you really consider the
Rube Goldberg-esque sequence
of events taking place, youll
realize that something special is
happening.
My laptop is tethered wireless-
ly to my phone, which is provid-
ing Internet service to the laptop.
My phone is in turn connected to
a high-speed 4G network that is
connected to an Internet back-
bone, linking most of the worlds
computers and mobile devices
together.
My words, as I type them, are
being instantly transmitted into a
platform residing in the cloud
multiple servers in multiple
locations around the country con-
nected by the Internet. People in a
newsroom several hundred miles
away can work with that data.
And its all something we take for
granted at this point.
We have this capability because
it (supposedly) makes our lives
easier. We can exchange ideas and
information 1,000 times quicker
and more effectively than we
could just 10 years before, and
this was driven by a desire for
convenience and speed. And yet
some important and fundamental
things remain beyond our grasp.
We can distribute data eff-
ciently to millions of people, and
the principles of the technology
that govern that distribution could
just as easily be applied to food
distribution, albeit on a slower
and much more macroscopic
scale weve got plenty of food;
we just cant get it to the people
who need it the most. But theres
no economic imperative to apply
it that way, so it doesnt happen.
The same could be said for
any sort of supply-and-demand
scenario, including electricity,
fuel, medicine, production, and
shipping capacity.
But the world doesnt really
work that way, which is why, at
the end of the day, humanity is a
lot like a lazy high school student
weve got a ton of potential, if
only wed apply ourselves. With
the technology we have today, ap-
plied in the correct way, we could
put a stop to global warming, feed
every person on Earth, and elimi-
nate poverty. And imagine what
wed be able to do if we were able
to throw off those burdens.
Economically, Im about as
conservative as they come but
were talking table scraps here.
If we harnessed technology to
optimize our lives and our society
a quarter as effciently as we can
manage data and information
something we do for the sake
of convenience we could put
an end to famine with our table
scraps and nobody would ever
notice the difference.
If only there was an economic
imperative to do so.

Dont get frustrated just think positively to deal with the ups
and downs in life.
Think positively
Sometimes life takes you to
places youve never dreamed of
going, not in the physical sense,
but rather, emotionally.
At times it can feel like the
deck is stacked against you like
you are up against a wall battling
life issues, weight loss, or even
just trying to get to the gym. We
struggle with work, relationships,
the kids, and with family. Some-
times we feel lost, frustrated and
we want to quit. Now is the time
to reevaluate and streamline your
focus.
The upside is that we can take
control of our lives this very
moment. It may not be easy, but
thats OK. The work we may
have to put forth is the lesson we
are ultimately after. If everything
was handed to us, this lesson
would be watered down.
Accept imperfection. No
human is perfect. You skipped
a workout. Dont fret tomor-
row is a brand new day. You ate
pizza, good. But dont do it again
tomorrow. Life is a series of re-
birth and destruction, a constant
cycle of ups and downs. And no
matter what, we always have the
ability to redeem ourselves.
Dont be so hard on yourself.
Keep moving forward. Every
small step is forward progress,
even if its slow. You will have
slip-ups and set backs. Accept
them and move on. Learning
from our mistakes develops
personal growth.
Remember that effort is suc-
cess. Remember that your work-
outs need not be perfect; same
for your diet. Instead of shooting
for 100 percent, aim for a more
realistic 80 percent.
Your life will throw curve balls
at you, and you will without a
doubt have your ups and downs.
Keep trying and continue to
grow.
Laughing, crying, joy, mis-
takes and anger all are vital.
All make us human.
Believe in yourself.

Taylor Swift may have won numerous awards at the Billboard
Music Awards, but did her snubbing of Bieber have to do with
one she didnt get?
Swifts skipped question
and Idol conspiracy?
When it comes to Justin Bieber,
Taylor Swift simply aint got time
for that.
Can we have another question?
Swift responded when asked about
Justin Bieber receiving Billboards
ill-titled Milestone Award Sunday
night at the 2013 Billboard Music
Awards. Swift answered a couple
of questions from the media in the
press room after the night ended.
That, of course, was not one of
them.
Immediately I fashed back to
the program and thought I knew
why Taylor decided to dodge the
question. Selena Gomez introduced
Swifts performance of 22 and the
best friends sat next to each other all
night. Of course, Gomez and Bieber
recently broke up, again, for good
we think (hope?).
Then I fashed back to Satur-
day, backstage at the BBMA. Ed
Sheeran, T-Swifts current tourmate
on the Red tour, told me that
Swift wanted to win the Mile-
stone Award the most because it
was a fan vote. Youll hear my full
interview with Ed later this week on
The Ralphie Show.
But is Taylors snub of the Biebs
simply award show sour grapes?
Shes had her fair share of inter-
esting moments at these events,
but lets not forget Swift was the
big winner on Sunday night. The
songstress took home eight awards,
including Top Artist and Top Bill-
board 200 Album.
I still believe its the former:
Taylor was not about to pay props to
a kid that wronged her best friend.
Regardless of how she answered,
she would have made even more
headlines than she did with her non-
answer. Perhaps the T-Swift media
machine wins yet again.
IDOLFINALIST CLAIM
PRODUCERS FIXED SHOW
Curtis Finch Jr. was the frst of
the fve men to be eliminated in
succession on American Idol
this season. Just in case any fans
or Idol staffers forgot about him
since the March 14 show, he quickly
reminded them that hes still around
and a bit skeptical about how the
season unfolded.
I think its been really pushed
that they wanted a girl to win,
Finch said of the competition during
an interview with The Ralphie
Show. He clarifed that by they
he meant the show producers.
Thats fne with me, because I think
the girls are extremely talented.
I think they set it up, in a way,
the singer explained. From Holly-
wood Week, yanno, they separated
the boys and the girls.
Season two fnalist Kimberly
Locke argued that while weaker
male singers may have been chosen
this year, she has found Idol to be
one of the fairest shows on televi-
sion.
Every year there is a conspiracy,
or someone thinks there is a con-
spiracy, she noted. On season two,
on the chyron for the numbers, they
put up the wrong number for the
wrong contestant. The votes got all
messed up. The following weeks to
come, standards and practices were
there every day.
Locke noted that working
conditions and equal camera time
were also monitored carefully. The
competition crowned its season 12
winner Candice Glover last week.

announced the return of
Fairways unique program to
help credit challenged people
purchase a new or pre-owned
vehicle. The program has been
so successful that its been
modied to include those people
having no credit history, such as
recent collage graduates.
According to LaRussa,
many customers are under the
impression that they owe too
much on their current vehicle
loan or that past credit issues
would hinder them from getting
into a new vehicle. Even people
that have no credit history, such
as recent college graduates, are
under the assumption that they
cant be helped. Plus, ninety
percent of the time customers
are paying interest rates higher
then whats available today.
Fairway is proud to continue
this unique program that
specically targets distressed
credit and customers with no
credit history. The program
requires no minimum credit
score, a minimum gross income
of $2,000 and only $1,000
down. This can be accomplished
with cash or ACV transfer or
both.
Rich LaRussa said, We
have helped hundreds of folks
with poor credit and now even
those with no credit may be able
to get into the vehicle of their
dreams. With this system we
are condent we can help even
more. In some cases customers
are in loans that are 18% APR
to 21% APR.
With todays current rates
we can possibly shave $50 to
$100 off a customers payment.
Were especially excited about
helping those customers that
have had credit issues. Weve
partnered with several lending
providers. However, funding
is limited from these nancial
institutions.
Therefore, LaRussa points
out that funding will be
distributed to qualied
customers on a rst come, rst
served basis. LaRussa goes on
to explain that if someone has
had bad credit and is paying
these extremely high rates, we
may be able to cut those rates
down to as low as 6.9% APR.
I would encourage anyone
paying these kind of rates or
even if you have no credit
history, to please come in and
talk to me as soon as possible.
In fact they can call me directly
at 570-956-7651. They could
be saving a lot of money.

Always
more
to love.
Dear Mom and Dad,
Now that I recently turned 27,
there are probably a few things
youre expecting me to out-
grow, such as coming home with
hickeys, living at your house, and
hanging out at dive bars. Sorry,
Mom and Dad, but I dont see any
of these happening in the near
future. After all, I just came home
with a hickey yesterday, I like the
idea of not paying rent, and I fnd
that the events that happen when
hanging out at a dive bar make for
great Facebook statuses. In fact,
thats why I decided to manage
a dive bar, because if there are
two things in this world I need,
its a salary and a good Facebook
status.
For example, when a girl stole
a cardboard cutout of a Mexican
lady at my bar last weekend, I
decided to chase after her, push
her into a telephone pole, and take
it back! As I ran down the hill
hugging a cardboard cutout of a
Hispanic woman, a lady smoking
an electronic cigarette cheered me
on. Best status ever? I dont know,
but I do know that someone who
just had a baby or got engaged
couldnt post a status about having
a cheerleader with an electronic
cig hanging from their mouth!
#TRUTH
The other day, however, I real-
ized managing a dive bar had a
perk far more important than a
great status: the ability to stick up
for the underdog.
I cant believe this guy, men-
tioned my bartender. Not only did
he not leave me a tip, but he wrote
the word nothing on his credit
card slip INALL CAPS!.
Id say you should take
a picture of it and post it on
Facebook, but some girl got fred
fromApplebees for doing that,
mentioned a guest.
Well, this isnt Applebees, I
pointed out. Im in charge, and
I say look up that douchebag on
Facebook right now!
As a former bartender who lost
all dignity while competing in a
local version of Dancing with the
Stars, I decided to show empathy
for my employee and help her
seek revenge!
As soon as we found the dude
who left NOTHING, I coached
my bartender in sending him
a nasty message, reading: I
couldnt help but notice you were
feminine, and wanted to hook you
up with one of my gay friends.
Are you a bottom? Because only a
B-H would leave NOTHING
as a tip.
OMG, he messaged me back,
she screamed ffteen minutes later.
Im afraid to read it!
His response was an apology!
Im sorry, baby, his reply
began. The
girl I was with
wouldnt let
me tip you.
When do you
work next,
baby? I prom-
ise Ill bring
you a big, fat
tip!
Sorry, Mom
and Dad, that
I coached
my bartender
into sending a
message that
could have
turned into a
hate crime. It
all worked out
in the end, as
they became
friendly and
are now ac-
tively sexting.
Love,
Justin

CHEVROLET 150
Owner:
Randy Borofski
Scranton
The 150 was the low-
end model of Chevrolets
in 1955, but Ive made it
top of the line, Borofski
said. This was a complete
rebuild, basically; it was
nothing but a rusted out
shell when we started with
it. Its a beauty now. W

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Youre the Human Torch. Blazing with
fery power, you can fy brightly through
the sky like a comet, hurl freballs at
your antagonists, and throw up walls of
fame as defense against the things that
threaten you. But youre lonely. Whats
the use of being able to soar gloriously
above town when you have to do it alone,
since whoever you try to bring with you
gets scorched? They say that power is
isolating; that may be true to some extent,
but its not universal. Some types of
power are lonelier than others, like the
kind youre exercising. Perhaps its time to
pursue different sources of strength? Just
dont go to the opposite extreme; I think
Iceman is probably a little lonely too.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
For most of the winter, you were
skiing downhill, backwards, a loteven
when you really wanted to climb up. Just
stopping on the icy slopes was nearly
impossible. Now things are shifting, and
you can fnally unstrap your skis and slog
uphill in the rapidly melting metaphorical
snow. Its a shame to have lost so much
ground in so many vital areas, but dont
dwell on it; youve got your work cut out
for you: demonstrate your aptitude for
radical shifts by not only catching up to
where you last left off, but blazing past
that old stopping point until youre in a
whole different time zone.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
In some places in the U.S., women are
legally allowed to go topless anywhere
men can. In practice, however, when they
do so theyre usually harassed, ogled, and
shamed. Although more women would
probably exercise this right if it was no
big deal, few care enough to endure the
hassle theyd get now. This week, you
might be willing to weather a great deal
of criticism to prove a treasured point.
Still, whatever outlandish thing you feel
compelled to do, have a backup plan.
For example, if you decide to bare your
melons (or help someone bare hers) in
public, bring a bra and T-shirt, in case the
aggravation that results is more bother
than its worth.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
What a poker match! You cant afford
to lose some of the things you wagered,
so youve absolutely got to win this
hand. Unfortunately, the dealer tossed
you a load of crap, so its time to do
something youre astonishingly good at,
despite your lack of practice: hold your
cards close to your chest and bluff. Your
ability to pretend convincingly and exude
boisterous confdence is essential. Make
the best of what youre dealt, but dont
count on it. As far as everyone else at the
table is concerned, youve got four aces.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Take off your boxing gloves. The
fght youre preparing for is going to get
dirty. Although youre a little glad that
the reasonableand boringconfict
resolution fell through, its frustrating
to see just how pointless (and almost
certainly dangerous) this scrap will be:
neither of will change the others mind.
Since youre going to brawl anyway,
why not make constructive use of the
peripheral violence? Line up some of
your most annoying hindrances, and let
them get smashed in your head-butting
contest. Once the fght is over, it wont
really matter who won: Youll be a few
Band-Aids and an icepack heavier, minus
a couple hundred pounds of unnecessary
baggage.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
This week, youre sort of a commando
of love, forcing people together at
gunpoint. Wielding your AK-47 like some
kind of kamikaze cupid, youve been
wreaking romantic havoc with fearsome
glee. Just be careful; being the love child
of Rambo and Aphrodite comes with
responsibilities, not just ardor-tipped
bullets. Although youre to continue
spreading your terrifying goodwill
prolifcally, the commandments from on
high dictate that you do so more wisely
than capriciouslydont get carried away
with your outlandish matchmaking. Pair
people for their own good, not for your
entertainment.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Even a crow can learn how to make and
use her own tools. Aresearch team tested
the crows problem-solving abilities by
dangling a bit of food just out of reach.
Taking a straight piece of metal wire, she
learned to bend it into a hook to grab the
treat. Pretty clever, eh? You might also
be surprised by the new tricks your most
small-minded opponents have learned.
Dont underestimate them. If a bird with
a brain the size of an apricot can fashion
exactly the right implement to get what
she wants, might not your dumbest
adversary be capable of a similar feat?
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Your recent roles have surprised
even you: a regular shoulder to cry on;
a stagehand in someone elses show; a
doting mama/papa fgure, and a cleaning
assistant, required to mop up messes
even the head janitor wouldnt touch.
Still, I hope that youve found time and
energy amidst all this nurturing to take
care of yourself, too, or you wont be
able to handle the protective tasks the
universe may require of you in the coming
weeks, like rescuing someone from a
burning building (real or metaphorical) or
defending the defenseless with no weapon
sharper than your tongue. If you dont
take care of yourself, you might also miss
an imminent opportunity to perform an
anonymous good deed so magnifcent that
years of bad behavior would be instantly
expunged from your karma.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Its a tremendous burden, being so
popular and in demand, isnt it? Still,
as much as you get off on the constant
furry of activity, there are moments
when you wish you could just duck into
a sensory deprivation tank to give your
overstimulated brain a much-needed
break. Because it doesnt look like youll
be slowing down any time soon, I suggest
you give this impulse some consideration;
at the very least, take a few minutes every
day to just be still and breathe, even if you
have to do it in a bathroom stall between
meetings.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Astrology is all bullst. At least, thats
what you Virgos would have us believe;
that youre not as organized or anal as
the horoscope cabal makes you out to be.
Stop freaking. No one could accomplish
the superhuman feat of squeezing an
extra three hours into every day without
seriously having their st together. We
like that about you. Im simply urging
you to harness that organizational force
to make time for some constructive
relaxation, too. This week, show us what
you can accomplish from the comfort
of a beach chair, tropical drink in hand
(something with a tiny umbrella). Get
some sun while you get stuff done.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
The Libran stereotype dictates that
youre shallowly obsessed with beauty.
The reality is that although nearly
all Libras have a keen awareness of
appearance and style, in most cases they
dont elevate it above more intangible
qualities, like humor, or chemistryat
least when dealing with other people.
You occasionally fail to extend that
enlightened approach to one person,
however: you. Extinguish your tendency
to magnify and negatively judge your own
faws and blemishes. Youre kind enough
to cut other people some slack; wont you
do the same for yourself?
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Can you imitate the horned lizard?
Since youll be facing metaphorical
predators much larger and faster than you,
its tactics could come in handy this week.
First, its camoufaged to help it blend
into its arid brown habitat; its even smart
enough to press itself against the ground
so its shadow isnt visible. However,
when discovered and cornered, the reptile
has another line of defense: it can spray
blood out of its eyes for several feet. Most
attackers are so horrifed by this bizarre
behavior that they beat a hasty retreat.
Dont leap right off to such a gruesome
last resort, though; like the lizard, try
more conventional methods to avoid
confrontation. However, dont rule out
more desperate measures, if youre left no
other choice.
