Tell @wkdr
your favorite
Thanksgiving
Day activity
Hearing my dad say grace. It
reminds me how thankful I am.
Having dinner at our house for
our family.
Cliche, I know, but spending
time with my family.
Post-dinner Scattergories game
with my family. It gets out of
control ... fast.
Eating stufng. Watching the Cowboys game
with my family.
Watching Home for the
Holidays, the one with Robert
Downey Jr., with my mom.
Being with loved ones and
serving my famous bourbon
chocolate pecan pie.
Whats your favorite
Thanksgiving Day activity?
L
ike many people, this
week Ill be thinking about
all the things Im thankful
for. Things such as having peo-
ple to love and be loved by,
friends I can count on and cow-
orkers who can always make me
laugh.
Im thankful that I finally
found the willpower thats slowly
but surely helping me become a
fitter, healthier me (no matter
the agony I feel getting out of
bed at 6 a.m. every day to exer-
cise).
Im thankful that Im finally
getting a grasp on this whole
thing thats called cooking,
and Im thankful that every
single day, I get to do something
that I love and call it work.
And above all, as the Week-
ender recently began its 19th
year of being your No. 1 arts
and entertainment weekly news-
paper, Im thankful for
you, our readers. You
send us story tips, you
continue to like us,
and you send us your
opinions. Sometimes
those opinions agree
with what we say or
what we write about,
and sometimes they
vehemently dont.
Truth be told, we
gladly accept both. Its
how we know were
touching nerves when
we want to touch nerv-
es, its how we know
when were doing something
right, and its how we know that
you think were doing something
wrong.
So thank you, readers, for
being there and for coming
back week after week. We ap-
preciate it more than you can
ever know.
As for this weeks issue, weve
got our review from Sunday
nights Guns N Roses show (p.
14), a preview of Music Boxs
production of White Christ-
mas in Stage (p. 21), a Bitch &
Brag from Jeff & Amanda of
98.5 KRZ (p. 51) and even a gift
suggestion for your favorite
foodie in Dish (p. 64).
From all of us here at the
Weekender, Happy Thanks-
giving!

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
SHOWA LITTLE SKIN
Enterprising reporters get
stories by earning the trust of
their sources, which Simon Eroro
of the Post-Courier (Port Mo-
resby, Papua New Guinea) obvi-
ously did. At a banquet in No-
vember, the News Limited (Rup-
ert Murdochs empire) awarded
Eroro its Scoop of the Year
honor for reporting on militant
tribal fighters of the Free West
Papua movement a scoop he
had to earn by agreeing to under-
go a ritual circumcision, with
bamboo sticks, to prove his sin-
cerity. (Some of the rebels still
wear penis gourds whose size
varies with the status of the wear-
er.)
THE LITIGIOUS SOCIETY
-- An Illinois appeals court
finally threw out a lawsuit in
August, but not before the two-
year-long battle had created a
foot-high pile of legal filings on
whether two children (now
ages 23 and 20) could sue their
mother for bad parenting while
they were growing up. Among
the claims were moms failure to
send birthday cards or care
packages during the kids college
years and calling her daughter at
midnight to ask that she return
home from a party (and once
failing to take the girl to a car
show).
-- Consumer Rights: (1) Jo-
nathan Rothstein of Encino,
Calif., filed a lawsuit in Septem-
ber against Procter & Gamble for
selling its Crest toothpaste in
Neat Squeeze packages, which
Rothstein said make it impossible
to access the last 20 percent of
the contents, thus forcing con-
sumers to buy more toothpaste
prematurely. (He wants Procter &
Gamble to return 90 cents to
everyone who bought Neat
Squeeze packages.) (2) Sarah
Deming of Keego Harbor, Mich.,
filed a lawsuit in September
against the distributor of the
movie Drive (starring Ryan
Gosling) because its trailers
promised fast-driving scenes
(like those in the Fast and Fu-
rious series), but delivered
mostly just drama.
FINE POINTS OF THE LAW
(1) A recent vicious, unpro-
voked attack in Toronto by Sam-
my the cat on Molly the black
Labrador (bloodying Mollys ear,
paws and eye) left Mollys owner
without recourse to Ontarios or
Torontos dangerous pet laws.
The owner told the Toronto Star
in November that, apparently,
only dangerous dogs are covered.
(2) Maya the cat was central to a
recent contentious British im-
migration case when a judge
seemed to favor residence for a
Bolivian national because of
Maya. The judge had concluded
that the Bolivian man and his
British partner had established a
close-knit family relationship
because of the need to care for
Maya.

-- Violinist Martin Stoner, 60,
who lost his job after 25 years
and who is suing the New York
City Ballet for age discrimi-
nation, petitioned federal judge
Robert Patterson to disqualify
himself from the case because he
is too old (88) and, according to
Stoner, has vision and hearing
problems.
COMPELLING
EXPLANATIONS
(1) Management consultant
Graham Gibbons, 42, was on
trial in Cardiff, Wales, at press
time, charged with making a
clandestine video of himself and
his then-girlfriend in bed. Gib-
bons denied being a pervert,
insisting that he made the video
to analyze, for efficiency, the
time and motion of his per-
formance, as he might do for
corporate clients. (Despite his
alleged improved lovemaking,
the girlfriend broke up with him.)
(2) West Virginia roadkill-cook-
ing activist David Cain told
Bloomberg News in October that
he generally supported Volvos
new driver-safety technology that
warns of objects ahead in the
road. Cain pointed out that it was
just a warning, that the driver
could still choose to run over
something thats good for eating.
LEAST COMPETENT
CRIMINALS
Robbers Easily Subdued: (1)
Dale Foughty, 56, was charged
with robbing a convenience store
in Jacksonville, N.C., in October,
despite attempting to intimidate
the clerk by dressing as Spi-
derman. However, the clerk
poked Foughty in the stomach
with a broom, sending him away
empty-handed. (2) Cody Smith,
18, was charged with snatching a
womans purse in Johnson City,
Tenn., in November. The victim
chased Smith into nearby shrub-
bery, entangling him long enough
for her to recover the purse.
RECURRING THEMES
The tactic of patience is
usually employed when police
believe that a suspect has in-
gested drugs for smuggling, i.e.,
nature will take its course, and
the drugs will appear in the toilet
sooner or later. On Oct. 12, Ni-
gerian comic actor Babatunde
Omidina (known as Baba
Suwe) was detained before a
flight at the Lagos airport be-
cause authorities suspected that
he had ingested drugs to smuggle
to Paris. Omadina denied the
charge, but police locked him up
and began monitoring his bowel
movements. On Nov. 4, Omadina
was released without charges
following 25 evidence-free
movements.

WILKES-BARRETWP.
The showusually starts around
seven/ We go on stage around
nine, goes Guns N Roses Mr.
Brownstone. If only that were
even remotely true: GnRfront-
man Axl Rose didnt bring his
band to the Mohegan Sun Arena
stage Sunday night until 11:16
p.m., nearly two hours after Se-
bastian Bach finished his opening
set.
Much to the delight of the
crowd that had been booing and
chanting Asshole in lieu of
Axl during its wait, the lights
went out, and GnRblasted into
the title track from2008s Chi-
nese Democracy. Roses trade-
mark screech and serpentine
dance were in full force for Wel-
come to the Jungle, which pre-
ceded Its So Easy. Asleazy (in
a good way) Mr. Brownstone
followed.
Roses vocals were somewhat
muddy and unintelligible through
most of the show, but he made up
for that with his energetic saunter-
ing and dancing on stage, when he
wasnt exiting it almost every
song and by surrounding him-
self with the talents of guitarists
Dj Ashba, Richard Fortus and
Ron Thal, keyboardists Dizzy
Reed and Chris Pitman, bassist
Tommy Stinson and drummer
Frank Ferrer. Ashba is a standout,
engaging the audience and deliv-
ering great riffs on songs like
Sorry, Rocket Queen and the
singeing Estranged.
Fortus gave the first of the
nights too-many solos before an
explosive rendition of Paul
McCartney &Wings Live and
Let Die, which preceded a slow-
burning Shacklers Revenge.
Reed took to a piano for a great
instrumental version of The
Whos Baba ORiley before
Stinson sang that bands My
Generation.
You Could Be Mine, from
1991s Use Your Illusion II, was
fast and furious and led into a
fantastic Ashba solo which led
into Sweet Child O Mine. An
instrumental cover of Pink Floyds
Another Brick in the Wall Part
II turned into Roses piano solo,
which inevitably went into an
eight-minute epic version of
November Rain which ended
with fireworks at 12:57 a.m.
and cued this writers exit, though
the showcontinued on, reportedly
for another guitar solo and seven
more songs.
Though the smallish crowd had
definitely dwindled by1a.m.,
those still standing remained
enraptured you really couldnt
take your eyes off the high-tech
production, the musicians and of
course, Rose. Thanks to the repu-
tation hes maintained over the
years, every time Rose left the
stage for whatever reason, you
couldnt help but wonder if he was
coming back.
But he did. Was it worth the
two-hour wait and bleary eyes in
the morning? Thats for the fans to
decide but for howlong theyll
put up with Roses tantrums and
tardiness is anyones guess.
Former Skid Rowfrontman
Bach, at his second NEPAper-
formance in two weeks, delivered
a solid hour opening set, kicking
things off with the title track of
1991s Slave to the Grind, the
first heavy-metal albumto debut
at No. 1on the Billboard 200. Two
gritty, old-school rock tunes
the title track and Dirty Power
fromhis latest solo effort,
Kicking &Screaming followed.
Bach stopped the showduring
Big Guns due to some rowdy
concertgoers, one of which got
escorted out by security, but he
quickly restarted the song after
encouraging chants of, Get the
f--k out! Ablazing 18 and Life
and a hard-and-heavy Monkey
Business followed, the latter a set
highlight. The heartfelt hit, I
Remember You, inspired the
crowd to hold up lighters real
lighters not just cell phones.
Another newsong, TunnelVi-
sion preceded the energetic
closer, Youth Gone Wild.
He might not have his Skid
Rowcohorts backing him, but
Bach still has the chops and
hair that made Skid Rowthe
success it was in the late 80s/
early 90s. W

ollowing some time off
the air, Misericordia Uni-
versitys Cougar Radio is
coming back with a growl
(since, technically, a cougar
cant roar). After kicking off
the Indie-Pendence CD project
earlier this month, the online-
only station is looking for a
few good local bands to fea-
ture on its upcoming sampler.
We were looking for a way
to reintroduce ourselves; its a
great way to get independent
music heard, stated Dan Kim-
brough, assistant professor of
communications at the uni-
versity. We really thought itd
be a great way to get local
bands to know we exist, that
they can start sending us their
music.
The only criteria to enter the
contest, which runs until
Thursday, Dec. 1, is that a
band must submit one original
song and not be signed to a
major label. The CD will be
released in the spring, and
proceeds from its sale will be
donated to a yet-to-be-deter-
mined charity in conjunction
with a benefit concert.
Its going to sort of be like
a job fair where theres mul-
tiple businesses looking to
hire, Kimbrough explained.
Its going to be more of a
service fair with multiple agen-
cies that are in the area that
can come and tell people what
they do.
As a project, graphic design
students will design the CD
cover; one will end up actually
being used for the sampler.
Its truly, from beginning to
end, a student-oriented project
coming out of the communi-
cations department (and) really
showcasing their skills, Kim-
brough said.
As for the songs, the Cougar
Radio staff is still figuring out
how featured bands will be
picked, Kimbrough stated that
the stations goal is to have to
do a double CD, depending on
how many entries the contest
gets.
Even if it doesnt go on the
CD, well still play your mu-
sic, well still help you get
your music out there, he add-
ed.
Though local music will be
a big part of the new Cougar
Radio, the station plans to
offer other independent music
and talk shows. Kimbrough
also hopes to expand the sta-
tion and its staff outside the
communications curriculum.
Its open to anyone on cam-
pus, he began. A lot of peo-
ple see the radio station or the
TV or the news station and
say, Oh, you have to be a
Comm major. We really want
to break down that stereotype
of having to be within the
major.
At its essence, Cougar Radio
wants to meet the expectations
of a college station, playing
known and unknown independ-
ent artists, while still being
mindful of its location.
Its hard to find a station
thats playing people youve
truly never heard of, Kim-
brough said. The nice thing
with them being local is if
you hear it on the radio, and
you like that band, and you
find out theyre playing at Ole
Tyme Charleys or wherever,
you can go see this band pret-
ty cheap, live.
Theres not a lot of college
stations going that independent,
so we figured itd be a good
niche for us. W

Business before bonding
Despite success, Five Finger Death Punch still working on becoming friends
By Alan Sculley
Weekender Correspondent
S
omehow its tting that
a band like Five Finger
Death Punch would
make an album called
American Capitalist.
After all, the original mem-
bers werent friends before they
joined forces, only ve musi-
cians that shared similar musical
tastes and red, white and blue
dreams of success just like
any honest capitalist.
It was more like we were
business partners rst, drum-
mer Jeremy Spencer explained
in a recent phone interview.
Its like heres the vision of the
band. Theres no compromise.
This is kind of what were do-
ing, and thats how it all came
about. Everyone was on board
with that.
We learned to become
friends later when we started
touring, he continued. I mean,
it was like, Hey, its nice to
meet you when we were in a
bus together.
By that time, the band had
released its debut CD, The Way
of The Fist. Since then, two
more albums (War is the An-
swer and now American Capi-
talist) have been made, and
Five Finger Death Punch has
done a lot more touring. Along
the way, there have been a few
casualties. Spencer, guitarist
Zoltan Bathory and singer Ivan
Moody are the only remaining
original members.
The latest change came prior
to the recording of American
Capitalist, when bassist Matt
Snell was replaced by Chris
Kael in June. Guitarist Jason
Hook (who in 2009 followed
Caleb Bingham and Darrell
Roberts into the lineup), rounds
out FFDP.
Spencer admitted that
reaching this point has been a
process.
Its tough. Its trying, he
said. Were grown men. Were
not 19 years old. Some of us are
stubborn. Its a ve-way mar-
riage, man. There are going to
be good days and bad days. You
learn what you like and dont
like about each other. You may
be annoyed by the way some-
body chews his cereal.
When youre in a tube
together driving around the
country, it starts wearing on
you after awhile. But it always
works itself out. The people
that arent here anymore, I bless
them. I love them. Im friends
with them, and I wish them the
best. It wasnt a thing where it
was the healthiest situation to
stay the way it was going, so we
made changes.
BACK FOR MORE
F
ive Finger Death Punch,
which will perform Satur-
day, Nov. 26 at Mohegan
Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre with
openers All That Remains, Hate-
breed and Rains, started to come
together when Spencer found
an ad placed online by Bathory,
who wanted to start a new band.
After trading demos, they got
together, found that they were
on the same page musically and
began nishing and recording
the songs that would emerge
on the rst Five Finger Death
Punch CD, 2007s The Way of
the Fist.
Soon the other original
members were on board, and
FFDP was up and running
and touring. The group got the
attention of the record company
Firm Music, and things have
been moving steadily forward
ever since.
The band members have made
no secret of wanting success. In
one interview, Bathory said he
wants Five Finger Death Punch
to be a band that proves a metal
group can appeal to the masses,
and the quintet has been re-
warded already. With American
Capitalist, which was released
in October, the band is trying for
its third straight gold album. The
fact that the group is headlin-
ing a fall tour that also includes
Hatebreed and All That Remains
two established metal groups
that have frequently headlined
tours is another sign that Five
Finger Death Punch has come a
long way in a fairly short time.
The back-to-back success of
the rst two CDs, in fact, has
some predicting that this is the
bands moment, its time to con-
nect with that mass audience it
would like to reach.
And the music on American
Capitalist would seem to have
the right ingredients to reach a
large metal audience. While the
album often verges on hardcore/
extreme metal with furious
songs like Under and Over It,
Menace and the title track, the
band is far more melodic than
many of todays more extreme
metal acts. The big hooks in
the Metallica-esque Back For
More, which is included in the
Madden NFL 12 video game,
and The Pride make such
songs accessible. The CD also
includes a couple of anthemic
ballads (the rst single, Com-
ing Down and Remember
Everything) that could play on
radio alongside the mainstream
rock of bands like Nickelback or
Puddle Of Mudd.
Spencer isnt getting caught
up in the early hype, though.
Were not going to buy into
any press clippings, he said.
Were just going to keep going,
man, and make music that we
like to make. And if it lands,
awesome, and if it doesnt, hey,
Im still satised because I did
what I wanted at the end of the
day.
Five Finger Death Punch is
out to make a big impression on
this tour, bringing out its biggest
stage production to accompany
a set that will mix in songs from
all three CDs in fairly equal
number.
The stage show itself is
going to be something we hope
people walk away from going,
Wow, you have to see that,
Spencer said. So were setting
the bar pretty high this time. W

but then again ...
By Jim Rising
Weekender Correspondent
T
his week, in honor of
Thanksgiving, I thought I
would come up with a
list of things I am thankful for.
It didnt turn out quite like I
planned. I wanted it to be all
warm and fuzzy. Oh well.
I am thankful:
- That I dont have twin,
self-guided, idiot-seeking SCUD
missiles mounted on my car. I
would have laid to waste most
of NEPA drivers by now.
- I am glad I am not able to
destroy with laser beam eyes.
See above.
- That I dont have the X-
ray vision that I prayed for as
a boy. The thought of seeing
most people sans clothing is
scarier than a night in the
Hotel Sterling.
- I have limited my contact
with the human race. My job
is now 100 percent from home.
My trips out in the world are
few and brief and timed to
give me the minimum interac-
tion. This works out just fine.
I find the human race is best
enjoyed in very small amounts.
- This makes me a cur-
mudgeon. I am more than fine
with that.
- I am not a Penn State
alumnus. I am, in fact, thank-
ful that I have nothing whatso-
ever to do with them. I am
thinking about removing the
sign in front of my property
that directs you to the Penn
State Lehman campus, as it
may be construed as aiding
and abetting.
- We have managed
to recover 80 percent from
Tropical Storm Lee/Hurricane
Irene. We still have several
trees down (anyone want some
applewood? Free!), but the one
leaning against the house is
gone, with a staggering amount
of effort. Good thing, too, as it
was a superhighway for squir-
rels. New roof, some paint,
and we are pretty much there.
- We dont live in Shickshin-
ny. For many, many reasons.
- That my health has im-
proved over the past year. I
know I have added years to
my stay on the planet
heres hoping that the years I
have gained will be good ones
and not the ones crawling
around on my hands and knees
trying to find my cane so I
can locate my hearing aid so I
can get my false teeth in.
- For all my loved ones,
near and far. It is, in the end,
what it is all about.
- That most of my loved
ones are far not near. Family
is a lot like Ye Olde Stump
Blower whiskey. Good, but in
small doses. Too much makes
you wish you hadnt done so
much. For the whole next day,
sometimes. Check back with
me on Friday. W
Reach Jim at
contact@jamesrising.com.
Even more rants are on his
blog, updated every day that
ends in y at
jamesrising.com.
Things to be
thankful for
Before this gets put on the table this week, Jim wants
to give some thanks.

If a person has brothers or
sisters, its a good guess that he
or she understands the inherent
rivalry which occurs from time to
time. However, most people dont
have the misfortune of having
those problems aired in public
like Noel and Liam Gallagher did
during their two decades leading
British rock phenomenon Oasis.
When older brother Noel had
enough and left the band to fly
solo in late 2009, Liam was
quick to re-form the group under
the new name Beady Eye. After
that band released its debut al-
bum earlier this year, many fans
wondered when they might see
anything from Noel as well.
After putting out a few singles
over the summer with a new
lineup (the High Flying Birds),
the band released its eponymous
debut album in early October.
As soon as one hears album
opener Everybodys on the
Run, it becomes clear that Noel
has decided to focus less on the
raw and gritty and more on the
emotive and epic with this al-
bum. Dream On, The Death
of You and Me and Soldier
Boys and Jesus Freaks have a
folksy, almost psychedelic
sound,; the latter two sounding at
times almost like a New Orleans-
style funerary march.
(I Wanna Live A Dream In
My) Record Machine and closer
Stop The Clocks grow from
soft and subtle to larger than life
and full of energy as each song
progresses. Noels mastery of his
craft is apparent throughout the
entire album, but nowhere quite
as much as on the standout track
If I Had a Gun, which is as
good of a song as he has ever
written.
In the post-Oasis world, fans
should rejoice in the fact that
both Gallagher brothers have
moved on and continue to create
great music. However, after the
obligatory comparison of the
two, it becomes abundantly clear
that the elder brother was the real
heart and soul of that band
and the one worth following
from here.

Top 10 Local Albums at Gallery of Sound
Hoboken, N.J.-based post-hardcore
band MayOrWest recently released We,
Reborn, a follow up to 2009s We, The
End. The 10-song album features fast
and heavy riffs, pounding drums and
grand harmonies.
The latter are showcased on lead track,
Chaos In D Minor, which is symphonic,
but powerful, thanks in part to Jimmy
Dowells drum barrage. Razorline is
very metal, while the piercing As The
Colors Change features dueling Eric
Lewy and Pete Cataldo guitars and lead
vocalist/bassist Adam Ramsden sounding
a bit like Megadeths Dave Mustaine as he
snarls, Our time is running out.
Angels Never Age is sludgy, and
Print Is Dead features punky guitars
and a sinister bassline before some vocals
switch to Lewy. No Rest For The
Wicked is epic, building to a fast cre-
scendo of screaming, pulsating drums and
fast guitars before ending on static-y
noise.
Believe Big starts with pretty piano
and Ramsden adopting a soft and heartfelt
intonation; the addition of other voices
takes the song to an emotive depth.
The final two songs, Sleeper and
Commence The Cataclysm are not the
albums strongest. Ramsdens vocals get a
bit lost on the former, while the latter
features more screaming than was found
on the preceding tracks. The song is at
times heavy, then lush, and following a
few minutes of silence, has a hidden
industrial-sounding instrumental.
MayOrWest is no stranger to NEPA,
having played at several venues through-
out the area, and it seems that its sound is
still trying to find its way home. But
judging from the musicality displayed on
We, Reborn, the journey wont be a
hard one at all.

Rating: W W1/2
` Reborn' but
still growing
Irish rock band Glyder has a genuine
rock sound that really gives no telling
sign as to where it hails from.
The band singer Jackie Robinson,
guitarists Bat Kinane and Pete Fisher,
bassist Graham McClatchie and drummer
Des McEvoy incorporates a very
American version of rock into much of its
work, as is evident on Backroads to
Byzantium, Glyders fourth album.
Fans might be hesitant to initially ac-
cept this album, given the fact that it is a
debut for more than half of the bands
members, and its the first outing with
Robinson on the mic, taking over for
singer/bassist Tony Cullen. Following the
exit of two other longtime members,
McClatchy and McIvor also joined Glyd-
er for this release.
Despite the lineup changes, the band
has put out a solid album that is very
reminiscent of its previous efforts. Back-
roads to Byzantium is heavily influenced
by classic rock, which is prevalent on
each of the 10 tracks. Long Gone and
Something She Knows are perfect
examples of how the band includes a
U.S.-influenced retro rock sound into
most of its music, and Robinson is the
perfect vocalist to pull off that classic
vibe. Some of Backroads songs also
contain hints of country, including Even
If I Dont Know Where Im Gonna Go.
Even though Glyder has produced a
strong rock album, listeners might have
trouble completely following its message.
The bands decision to sing about topics
ranging from strife in Northern Ireland to
global warming results in a definite lack
of cohesion. Despite the confusion, Glyd-
ers music is overall engaging.

movie review
T
he original Happy Feet
was an amiable, family-
friendly time killer that
featured phenomenal animation.
A sequel to the 2006 hit seemed
unnecessary, but a domestic
box-office gross of almost $200
million and an Academy Award
for Best Animated Film suggest-
ed otherwise. Now, five years
later we get Happy Feet Two,
another lavish, brightly colored
animated spectacle/distraction
serving as a babysitter to the
nations kiddos. If you can think
of another purpose the movie
fulfills, I welcome your com-
ments.
The movie takes us back to
chilly Emperor Land, where our
tap-dancing penguin hero, Mum-
ble (voiced by Elijah Wood), is
now a daddy. Despite Mumbles
encouragement, his son, Erik,
cant find his rhythm. An embar-
rassing, public tumble leaves the
little guy angry with his father.
Wandering away from home, he
eyes his new idol: A heroic,
cocky flying penguin named
The Mighty Sven (voiced by
Hank Azaria) who favors motiva-
tional rhetoric and malapropisms.
Mumble brings the wayward
Erik and his friends home only to
find that Emperor Land is in
shambles, unreachable to the
ocean and its food supply. Mum-
ble faces two challenges: He
must win back his sons affection
and save his friends and family
before predators and starvation
exact a deadly toll. Good thing
he gets a little help from his
friends, including diminutive
motormouth Ramon (Robin
Williams in one of two vocal
performances that further drains
our goodwill).
The mood of Happy Feet
Two, as befits a movie with
singing, dancing penguins, is
upbeat and playful. Its hard to
find fault with a story that urges
adapting to change and presents
parents acting as role models to
their kids. But, man, the movie
has the pizzazz of pleated khakis.
The animation is vivid and crisp,
but weve been there, done that.
Theres no suspense, no pithy
dialogue, no dramatic conflict.
Kids probably wont mind, but
adults will have to resist the urge
to use their smartphones. Or hold
off on the next multiplex trip
until Pixars next release,
Brave.
In lieu of improving the story
or jazzing up the screenplay, the
fine folks at Happy Feet Two
offer more characters. They
really shouldnt have. Common
(as Mumbles friend) and Sofia
Vergara (as Ramons diva girl-
friend) have rich, distinctive
voices, but their characters are
barely around. Instead, were
subjected to Williams and Azaria
reaching into their annoying
ethnic grab bag to voice three
grating characters, which I think
qualifies as a violation of the
Geneva Conventions. A nice
chunk of time is devoted to the
story of two krill (the meek Bill
and the bold Will) that dare to
roam from their underwater
group. Brad Pitt and Matt Da-
mon are terrific as the two bud-
dies enthusiastic, funny, com-
pletely at ease with being silly.
And their characters travails are
more engaging than Mumbles
new set of struggles.
The Will and Bill storyline is
the only part of Happy Feet
Two that feels like director
George Miller and his team tried
to make the film bigger and
better. Everything else here feels
mandatory, a connect-the-dots
effort to further position an
emerging franchise. (And the
outlook for the tap-happy pen-
guins is far from golden. Did you
see the box office thrashing
issued by the latest Twilight
installment?) Happy Feet Two
is perfectly functional, which is
why its almost impossible to
warm up to.

T
here is just something
about those classic holiday
stories that really jumpstart
the Christmas spirit. Those mo-
vies youve watched as a kid,
grewup with and are nowan
essential part of your holiday
traditions. These are the stories
you simply cant live without each
December.
White Christmas, the cre-
ation of Irving Berlin, is one of
those stories that the holiday
season wouldnt be the same
without. The only thing that might
be better than curling up by the
fireplace and watching the movie
on your flat screen is getting to
experience it live. The Music Box
Players in Swoyersville have
taken this holiday tradition and
made it their own by presenting
the tale live on stage, and per-
formances begin this weekend.
First presented last year,
White Christmas became an
instant smash for The Music Box
Players. Each performance was a
sellout, and this year is expected
to be no different as local patrons
who missed out last year have
already made dozens of reserva-
tions.
We sold out, and we had to
turn people away last year, said
director Debbie Zehner. Call
early for tickets because our
weekend performances are filling
up quickly.
White Christmas is a unique
holiday tale in that it has a lighter,
softer side. There are no spirits to
scare you or a Grinch to steal your
presents. It is simply warmheart-
ed and, despite the ups and downs
presented throughout, a happy
ending is guaranteed.
Weve done other Christmas
shows, AChristmas Carol, Its a
Wonderful Life but we needed
something different. (This) is a
good-feeling show, it makes ev-
eryone smile, said Zehner. It
puts you in the Christmas spirit, it
tugs at your heart strings. It is
such a touching story, and the
ending moves me every time
when all the soldiers come back
10 years later for their general.
The Music Box Players recom-
mend the performances for every-
one, whether you are well-versed
in the classic or if its your first
time experiencing the shows
magic. Theatergoers can also
have dinner, a drink at the bar and
the theater welcomes Christmas
parties to come to the showto-
gether.
This year we have newfaces,
newcostumes, a professional,
full-orchestra sound, and the show
has more glitz to it, Zehner ex-
plained. People will love the
showat the end, we have snowon
stage. I said I couldnt do the
showunless we had it snowat the
end.
The movie became a hit for a
number of reasons, including the
dazzling musical numbers and the
big stars including Bing Crosby
and Rosemary Clooney. These are
also the reasons why there isnt
another Christmas movie that is
quite like White Christmas.
There is no sad ending with
this show, Zehner began. Its all
about the music and love and all
the army men coming together to
help out their general. Its a story
the older crowd loves because its
been popular since the 50s, yet
the younger crowd knows it, too.

novel approach
I
n a world ruled by food,
where Top Chefs and com-
petitive eaters are part of the
norm, its hard not to be seduced
by a book that promises to ex-
plore our relationships with one
another through the scope of
whats on our plates. In The
Table Comes First: Family,
France, and the Meaning of
Food, Adam Gopnik attempts to
do just that, offering a journey
from18th century France to
todays tables. Amid his apparent
dismissals of todays Food Net-
work stars and our obsessive
interest in food, his attempt falls
flat.
The title of the book, as well as
its description, is misleading.
The Table Comes First seems
to be a romantic look at food and
our intimate, personal relation-
ship with it, but it ends up being
a systematically historical ac-
count of things that relate to food
through olden times. An account,
no less, which takes on a preten-
tious voice and assumes the
reader harbors a sound knowl-
edge of French history to begin
with.
The book recognizes the prin-
ciple, unchanging components of
eating, including the restaurant,
the cookbook, moral dilemmas,
spirits and dessert. The progres-
sion makes sense, but the logic is
sometimes diluted by opinion
and is drowned out by the sound
of Gopniks endless philosophi-
cal musings.
His arguments for the way we
do things are often solidly
backed by historical references.
In some cases, however, as in that
of vegetarian versus carnivore,
they are flimsy. He would have
been better off simply offering
both sides of the argument rather
than making a sweeping, opin-
ionated dissertation on the topic.
Throughout The Table Comes
First, Gopnik weaves in letters
to the long deceased Elizabeth
Pennell, a feminist food critic
from the end of the 19th century
known for her acerbic and un-
apologetic approach to life. By
writing to her, he involves the
reader in a way that he is unable
to in the other chapters.
To his credit, the author offers
some interesting theories about
the way we plot out a meal. One
such instance is the concept he
presents of wine and coffee being
the two drugs around which we
shape our lives. In his mind, wine
takes us from the world, coffee
restores us to it again, and in
between, we eat.
These glimmers of hope the
anecdotal stories and the pseudo-
love letters to Pennell are not
enough to make the book com-
pelling. In fact, its indulgently
lengthy, and Gopnik goes on and
on to the point where he throws
the reader into an intellectual
stupor.
The Table Comes First will
satiate only the marginal gour-
mands hunger for knowledge.
Call it crass and rather un-
French, but an episode of Man
v. Food is just much more ful-
filling.

ormer National Lacrosse League
Commissioner Jim Jennings has
a whole new gig. Jim announced
in May via his media company,
Waterbucket Media, that he would
now be involved in a different type of
lacrosse: An indoor team.
And Jim will bring that team to the Wyoming
Valley when the Shamrocks play their rst home
game at Mohegan Sun Arena Thursday, Jan. 19.
Anew sport, a new form of entertainment and a
new level of excitement arrives in just two months,
so lets welcome Jim Jennings to Northeastern
Pennsylvania.
Hobbies: Watching my kids play sports,
horseracing.
Favorite quote: If you can dream it, you can
do it. Walt Disney.
Favorite sport as a child: Wrestling.
One thing most people dont know about
you: I wake up every morning with a smile on my
face.
One thing youve always wanted to do:
Horseback ride on the beach.
One thing you really like about NEPA:
I love the people they are straightforward and
friendly.
Community involvement: Working with
the lacrosse leagues and local charities through the
Shamrocks....
Who is...

tech talk
By Nick Delorenzo
Special to the Weekender
H
aving a self-contained,
bootable USBstick that
you can simply carry
around and plug into any comput-
er is not a newidea. Its been
possible for years. But for some
reason, the idea hasnt gained
wide acceptance, despite the clear
utility.
Your computer crashes right
before the big presentation. No
problem: Just plug in the USB
stick, boot it up, copy the files
over and youre all set. You can fix
the computer later. Or your com-
puter is disabled by a virus that
you cant remove. Just run the
anti-virus software fromthe USB
stick.
Simple, effective, cheap. Why
arent more people doing this?
Almost every operating system
can be run from a USBstick, on
nearly any computer Windows
XP is particularly popular, and
some versions of Linux come with
a built in utility that allows you to
make a bootable USBkey with
just a fewclicks of the mouse
button, no advanced skills re-
quired.
Now, finally, the idea is begin-
ning to get some traction with a
fewmodifications.
Ive written about the Motorola
LapDock accessory, and you
basically carry the phone around;
you can plug it into a mini-laptop
and the phone provides the proc-
essing power to run the show. A
newgadget called Cotton Candy
froma company called FXI Tech
takes the idea even further. It has
managed to crama dual-core
processor, a quad-core graphics
processing unit, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi
and a slot for up to 64 gigabytes of
storage into one tiny box the size
of a USBkey. Its all powered by
Android, the popular Google
operating system for smartphones.
Its got a USBplug on one side
and an HDMI videoport on the
other.
So you can plug this thing into
any computer, Macs included, and
bam, all of your apps and files are
there. But heres the real kicker:
Got a newHDTV, or even just a
display with an HDMI port? Plug
the HDMI adapter into the TV,
grab a Bluetooth keyboard and
mouse, and youve got yourself a
computer on the cheap (relatively
speaking). This tiny bundle of
electronics is set to cost about
$200, and it should be available
sometime next year.
But this thing is so small, and so
capable that its almost certainly
worth the money. You could turn
any monitor or TV with an HDMI
port (almost every newTV or
monitor will have them) into a
computer as needed. I can think of
five times right off the top of my
head where this thing would have
saved me either time or money.
Between gizmos like this and
the increasing popularity of cloud-
augmented devices like the iPad,
its a distinct possibility that the
desktop computers days are num-
bered. W

bitch & brag
By Jeff and Amanda of 98.5 KRZ
Special to the Weekender
Jeffs Bitch
Parking! That get your atten-
tion? I admit that I am incredibly
impatient year round when it
comes to parking spaces, but
with the holidays crashing down
on us, the situation gets 10 times
worse.
Here are my three major
gripes:
No. 1: The person who comes
out from shopping, fires up their
SUV, taillights come on, and you
sit there excited, thinking youre
about to get a primo spot. And
then you sit and sit and sit.
What the freak are they doing?
And you then feel pressured as
cars start piling up behind you.
But you know the minute you
give up and move on, doofus in
the SUV is gonna pull out!
No. 2: I suspect, but cant
prove, that store employees,
especially at the mall, take all the
close parking spots before the
stores open. How can you get at
the mall right at 10 a.m., or
whenever it opens, and all the
great spots are gone already?
No. 3: Handicapped spots.
Alright, I know. Im evil. Shoot
me. But you know you think it
sometimes. Im not against some
handicapped parking, but seri-
ously, some places go overboard.
Then add in stork parking and
those shopping-cart return areas,
and youre back to waiting for
the nimrod in the SUV with their
taillights on!
Oh, and Id be remiss not to
mention my all-time favorite
hall of fame parking gripe: The
tool that thinks his car is so cool,
so precious, so much better than
everyone elses that he has to
park diagonally so nobody will
scratch his car by opening a door.
Next time you see that, park your
average dinged-up car diagonally
right next to his and open
your door repeatedly.
Amandas Brag:
Did you know that hibachi
restaurants are actually hard to
come by in some cities? Hibachi
is my personal favorite kind of
restaurant (Jeffs too!), and lucki-
ly in NEPA, we have a ton of
them! It seems like they all
opened one after another a few
years ago, but unlike some cities,
we have so many to choose from.
Ive tried almost all of the big
ones over the past couple of years
and ranked my favorites along
the way. (I noticed a trend: The
ones that use pineapple sake in
their noodles seem to be favor-
ed).
A few months ago, I was back
in my hometown in Rhode Island
for my moms birthday, and we
all decided to go out for hibachi.
There was just one small prob-
lem: The closest one was an hour
away. We made the drive, but it
was awful and totally not
worth the ride. It literally had one
hibachi restaurant in an hour
radius and there are some big
cities!
If you think about it, NEPA is
booming when it comes to res-
taurant businesses. I recently
tried a new low-key hibachi
restaurant in the Poconos and
was seated next to a family that
was trying it for the first time. It
was fun to see the mom taking it
all in and reminded me that while
we here in NEPA are sometimes
on the tail end of some trends, we
have some pretty awesome res-
taurants that are leading the way
with fun, new kinds of entertain-
ment and dining. Half of the fun
of going to a hibachi is the show
the chef puts on!
For us, hibachi isnt hard to
come by, and while Im not going
to name favorites, I will say keep
using pineapple sake to make
everything amazing, and well
keep coming! W
Hear Jeff and Amanda Bitch
& Brag Fridays at 3:30 p.m. on
98.5 KRZ.
Jeff has parking issues this week, including those
stork spots reserved for expectant mothers.
Amandas got a thing for hibachi restaurants, and
luckily, living in NEPA means the nearest one is just a
stones throw away.

Weekender General Manager
Designing
her dream
T
he dreamers
approach of Nicole
Good has created a
successful reality for
the Bloomsburg resident. A
woman with creative intuition,
aspirations and a savvy business
sense, Good has taken her sewing
abilities and passion to Main
Street Bloomsburg to open her
own shop.
Abusiness woman, designer
and guru of fashion, the college
town has been blessed with
Goods presence as her 1-year-
old boutique, The Purple Zebra,
is a shop you used to only dream
about.
WEEKENDER: How
would you describe your
store?
GOOD: I tend to think that
The Purple Zebra isnt your
average boutique. Through my
eyes, I view it as an eclectic
shop thats representative of my
own personal style and love for
vintage apparel and jewelry.
While all of the merchandise
for sale is new or handmade, I
typically have an assortment of
vintage pieces on display with
my new inventory to give the
store an indie feel and vibe. I will
be launching the online version
of my store this month, and I plan
to offer a vintage section on the
site.
WEEKENDER: What
brands do you carry?
GOOD: I dont carry any
mainstream name brands per se
rather, the styles found in The
Purple Zebra are comprised from
mainly smaller, Los Angeles-
based boutique lines. I also carry
my own label, GoodnPretty,
which features one-of-a-kind
pieces, including accessories,
which I make right in the store.
WEEKENDER: How
would you describe your
label?
GOOD: My designs are
directly inuenced by my own
personal style. I hate to be
redundant with my use of the
word eclectic, but its denitely
the best way to describe my
design aesthetic. I use a lot of
different prints and textures in
my designs and even look for
vintage fabrics in the process. I
also like to incorporate different
materials such as fur and leather
into my work.
WEEKENDER: What
fashion advice would you
give the public?
GOOD: Be true to yourself
and what you like. Fashion is not
supposed to be about making sure
youre wearing every latest trend
or fad, its more about having
fun with clothes and being able
to artistically express yourself
through the use of color, textures,
and shape. Wearing all black is
always OK, and showing a lot of
skin does not make you sexy.
Adornment is never anything
except a reection of the heart
Coco Chanel.
WEEKENDER: How do
you go about choosing your
inventory?
GOOD: I can spend countless
hours selecting inventory for the
store, but more often than not,
Im looking for pieces that cant
be found elsewhere in the area.
I base my decisions on what I
feel is current and fresh. I also
only order three-six of any one
item to ensure that anyone that
comes into the shop wont leave
wearing the same polka-dot shirt
as 42 other girls walking down
Main Street.
WEEKENDER: What
would you say is your
clientele?
GOOD: Alarge part of my
clientele is comprised of college-
aged girls, but my target audience
is young women ages 18-30. I
have girls younger and women
older who love the store just the
same, however. After all, youre
only as old as you feel!
WEEKENDER: What
are some of your hottest
sellers?
GOOD: Denitely dresses
PHOTOS BY EDDIE DONLIN
OF STUDIO D PHOTOGRAPHY
and accessories. I love carrying
funky items such as printed are
pants and different graphic tees,
but no one can deny a hot little
black dress for a night out. I
just got in a ton of sparkly new
fabrics, so Ill be starting holiday
dresses this week!
WEEKENDER: What
made you want to open your
own shop?
GOOD: Ive dreamt of having
my own shop for basically as
long as I can remember. My
mother made a lot of my clothes
as a young girl, and I fell in
love with sewing as soon as
my mom taught me. I always
made a lot of my own things
growing up because of the lack
of options in this area. I never
thought opening a store would
be a viable option for me at this
time until I was permanently
laid off from my position as
a designer/product developer
at a local manufacturing plant
in Bloomsburg. I spent a few
months in development mode,
doing research and writing a
business plan then just decided to
go for it!
WEEKENDER: How did
you come up with the name
of your shop?
Nicole Good wears a black turtleneck and fur vest from her
own label at The Purple Zebra.The leopard shorts are from
H&M, and the suede zip booties were a thrift-store fnd.
Good designed this knit
leopard dress with leather
detailing, while the velvet
blazer is Kenneth Cole, and the
jewelry is The Purple Zebra.
Goods blouse is vintage, and
the crocheted vest is fromThe
Purple Zebra, as is the jewelry.
She designed the black leather
shorts.
The Purple Zebra
(36 E. Main Street, Bloomsburg).

from 11 a.m.-6 p.m.,
Fri./Sat., 10 a.m.-6 p.m.
Info: purplezebrashop.com,
570.784.3471
The store owner models
a vintage sheer polka-dot
blouse and fur vest.The ziz-
zag printed wide-leg pants
are her own design.
GOOD: I had a dream, quite
literally, in fact. Ive always been
a dreamer and frequently have
lots of crazy ideas in the middle
of the night. While I was in the
midst of writing my business
plan, I had a dream that I owned
a store called The Purple Zebra.
I even based a lot of the design
concept off of that dream. W

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Its much simpler to not get involved in
correcting injustices around you. Usually,
those problems are at best inconvenient to
correct and downright dangerous, at worst.
However, ignoring a wrong isnt in your
nature, so its almost a foregone conclu-
sion that youre going to get involved,
somehow. Given that probability, be smart
about it. Try to consider the big picture
instead of simply jumping in at the first
opportunity. Where can you do the most
good, and how might you minimize the
negative impact on your own life? Clearly
answering those two questions, before you
leap into action, will make that action so
much more effective and satisfying, its
ridiculous.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
Some people get more attention (in
whatever form) because they need more.
Sure, its unfair that they get more than
their share, and its difficult to not resent
them. But remember, its because they
suck (at least compared to you). You may
want what theyre getting, but if youre
honest with yourself, you dont really need
it. Sometimes, you might want to speak up
and be the squeaky wheel long enough to
get a little grease, but this week Im pretty
sure youll be better off just doing your
own thing and letting the attention whores
do theirs.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Ultimately, people have to help them-
selves. You can offer a hand, but the bot-
tom line is they need to be motivated
enough to take it and do something with
the head start you give them, or youre just
wasting your time. I admire your determi-
nation to be there for the people who need
you, but this week, be sure to carefully
evaluate each situation before you get
involved. If youre not discerning, smart
and a little bit cynical about who gets
which piece of you, youre likely to waste
your time (and effort) and that doesnt
do anyone any good.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
People screw up. Youre more forgiving
than most about those errors, so its hard
for you to understand how someone can
refuse to take the olive branch when you
offer it. Let me shed a little light on the
situation: This isnt about you, its about
them. Some people experience crippling
shame and embarrassment about their
failures. That means that even if youre
ready to forgive and forget, letting by-
gones be bygones, they are not. I wish you
could teach them your brilliant way of
humbly laughing at your own mistakes,
but theyre not likely to be receptive so
forgive them again when they rebuff you,
and patiently wait for them to get there on
their own.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
Tough love sounds great in theory, but
when your bluff gets called, the tender
heart beating beneath your loud, trash-
talking exterior has trouble following
through. Thats okay. Its not necessarily
your role to play. Do make sure you con-
sider the big picture, though, because if
you fail to make good on your threats/
promises, they wont mean much the next
time you make them. If you can live with
that, then by all means, cave in now. But if
you want to be taken seriously next time,
you need to make sure youre taken seri-
ously this time, too which, like it or
not, means doing what you said you
would.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
Other peoples lives are so fascinating,
arent they? Some Bulls end up taking
more of an interest in them than they do in
their own arguably less-interesting (to
them, anyway) existences. It doesnt mat-
ter whether the subjects of your reveries
are real or fictional that they shouldnt
eclipse whatevers going on in your life
should go without saying. Sure, your life
may not be as fascinating as whatever
soap opera (on TV or off) has caught your
attention, but you should still find it fairly
fascinating. If you dont, its time to figure
out what needs to change so you do.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
Supposedly, people who are missing one
sense somehow develop greater acuity in
their remaining senses. I doubt this is true
in most cases, and think its more likely
that theyre simply paying much more
attention to the stimulus coming in, so
they notice things others (distracted by
their pesky sight or hearing, say) dont.
However, people with all their senses and
faculties intact can, of course, learn to
notice stuff they currently dont at least
I hope so, since the most important stuff
happening in your week is stuff thatd
normally fly right below your radar. Heres
hoping youre alert enough to take note of
it.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
You can offer your two cents, of course
(as if anyone could stop you), but ulti-
mately other peoples relationships with
each other are almost completely out of
your hands. They need to work things out
for themselves. Its not your job to play
mediator, conflict resolver, judge or jury
even if some people fully expect and
demand that you step into one of those
roles. Resisting the temptation to do so
will probably be painfully difficult for you
but you should, anyway. Youve got
enough on your plate stay out of the
stuff thats, ultimately, none of your busi-
ness.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
Never, ever be stingy. Youre mostly
unfailingly generous, so this isnt likely to
crop up often, but if you find yourself
being clench-fisted or parsimonious, you
need to figure out how to get over that,
fast. Being downright miserly is just plain
bad for your soul and wellbeing. Reclaim
your natural tendencies and be as warmly
generous as your ruling planet, the sun
for your own sake as well as everyone
elses. Sure, were in a recession, and
being thrifty is wise. However, there are
ways and ways to be wonderfully lavish
without spending a lot of money. Find
them.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
Expectations lead to disappointment.
We know this but that doesnt mean we
can simply stop having them (all the time,
anyway). Once in a while, we get attached
to some idea that simply wont pan out.
How we cope with that disappointment
has a lot to do with how many more simi-
lar letdowns well be forced to experience.
In other words, if you can move on cleanly
from this latest disappointment, and be
just as open and hopeful as you were
before it, you wont be doomed to repeat
it. Simple in concept, difficult to execute
but you can do it.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Letting go of self-consciousness and
worry (or even excessive awareness) about
what people think of you is tremendously
hard for you Libras; yet being able to even
partially do so is amazingly liberating and
empowering. I cant tell you how to do
this, as its a highly individual and person-
al process, but I can let you know that this
week is a fantastic time to try out some
stuff that might help you make good pro-
gress in this department. Go wild. Experi-
ment with being more silly, playful and
funny. Except for the assholes, people will
probably respond pretty positively
thereby encouraging the whole process,
which can only be a good thing.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
I love watching people fulfill their
dreams, or otherwise transform from a
helpless, lost person to one whos confi-
dent, open and inspired. Thats one of my
favorite things in life. Of course, everyone
gets lost at one time or another. Since
youre in such a good place, I hope you
find a way (and take the time) to help
someone whos not doing nearly so well.
Even if they wouldnt normally be recep-
tive to such advice or aid coming from
you, theyre likely to be more open-mind-
ed about it this week than usual. The cool-
est part is, the happier and more fulfilled
the people around you are, the happier and
more fulfilled you will be, too. This is full
of win, so dont be shy about trying to
make it happen. W

Ride of
the Week
By Michael Golubiewski
Special to the Weekender
This car has been in my family since
it was brand new, Myers says. My father
bought it brand new in 1986 and drove it
everyday for eight years. When I started to
drive, I began restoring it.
So far, Myers has repainted the exterior
and added the black racing stripes on the
hood and the Chevrolet logo and bowtie to
the front of the car.
I like taking it out to car shows;
hopefully I hang onto it long enough to give
it to my own son. W

A TOME TO MAKE
YOUR MOUTH WATER
E
arlier this month, one of
my favorite food sites,
SeriousEats.com, released
Serious Eats: A Comprehen-
sive Guide to Making and Eat-
ing Delicious Food Wherever
You Are. And just like its viral
counterpoint that took its first
bite in 2006, the book is full of
lush, food-porn worthy photos
and write-ups on burgers, pizza,
sandwiches, confections, street
food, fried food and more and
there is definitely more.
Read it for fun, explains the
How to Use This Book Sec-
tion. Read it to discover how
we approach the world of food,
how weve learned to spot the
true gems, and what weve
learned about the stories behind
them. Read it to see how others
eat across the country. and
read it to understand what drives
some of the greatest chefs and
sandwich-makers and farmers in
the nation.
Each section of this two-years-
in-the-making book features a
brief lead in on each topic, some
anecdotes from Serious Eats
founder (and the books main
writer), Ed Levine, comments
from some readers of Serious
Eats and, of course, those mouth-
watering descriptions and photos.
Plus, one of the books contrib-
utors, J. Kenji Lopez-Alt (aka
the recipe czar), developed 50
of the Serious Eats staffers fa-
vorite recipes. Some of the stand-
outs include the secret to super-
eggy scrambled eggs, a patty
melt that looks so golden and
cheesy I may or may not have
nibbled the page it was on, an
indulgent lobster roll and even
halal cart-style chicken and rice
with white sauce to bring the
great food trucks of New York to
your kitchen.
Sure, I could have put this on
my Christmas Wish List, but like
any good foodie, how could I
wait? Since getting it in my pos-
session last week, I havent put it
or the pen Ive been making a
Places To Eat Stat list down.
The writers offer not even the
tiniest dash of pretentiousness,
only big servings of passion. I
love the way Levine and compa-
ny deconstruct even the simplest

Do you? Ask yourself these
questions from the book to find
out if you, too, are a Serious
Eater:
1. Do you plan your day
around what you might eat?
2. When you are heading
somewhere, anywhere, will you
go out of your way to eat some-
thing delicious?
3. When you daydream, do you
often find yourself thinking
about food?
4. Do you live to eat, rather
than eat to live?
5. Have you strained relation-
ships with friends or family by
dictating the food itinerary
changing everyones plans to try
a potentially special burger or
piece of pie?
See, Mom, I told you there
were others like me!

sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
Weekender Correspondent
D
ear Momand Dad,
When I was10 years old,
I was in my very first
Christmas show: Candy Cane
Lane: ARecipe for Life. I played
Mr. Gingerbread, remember? The
showwas put together by a wom-
an named Ramona Gabriel-Co-
hen, a successful movie producer
who returned to her hometown to
put together a holiday showfor the
community she grewup in. I loved
going to rehearsals every day,
where I would always ask Ramona
about the celebrities she met, full
of intrigue.
Youve got drive, kid, she
would constantly tell me. Youre
going be somebody someday!
As a current bartender/waiter/
columnist/TVcorrespondent, I
sometimes question when that
someday will be. However, I
cant help but be reminiscent of
the memories of that Christmas
show, as I find myself in the same
position as Ramona. After tempo-
rarily moving home this past year,
I find myself putting together a
Christmas showfor the communi-
ty I grewup in, too. Its funny how
things come full circle, isnt it?
After seeing my participation in
the Dancing with the NEPA
Stars charity event, I was ap-
proached by the Carbondale chap-
ter of the Kiwanis Club to put
together a holiday charity show
for them.
As it turned out, Kiwanis, a
global organization with the pri-
mary mission of helping children,
wanted me to help themput to-
gether a showto raise money for a
scholarship it gives to a graduat-
ing senior every year.
My eyes lit up when I heard
what the money would go toward.
This was not only my chance to
put together a showfor my com-
munity and help give kids the
confidence I was given as a10
year old when Ramona came back
to town it was also a chance for
me to raise money to help a kid go
to college.
For the past two months, I have
been rehearsing with some amaz-
ing talent to put together the best
holiday variety showpossible.
Thanks to help fromlocal bands
like Pink Slip, this showwill
literally rock.
I hope everyone will come and
support a great cause while get-
ting in the spirit of the holidays.

By Ralphie Aversa
Special to the Weekender
N
ew Kids on the Block,
Backstreet Boys, The
Police, Beavis and Butt-
Head: They all came back and
reunited successfully. So, why
cant 2Ge+her, the MTV faux-
boy band? Alex Solowitz, who
played the role of bad boy Mick-
ey Parke, believes the time is
now.
It would just be funny to get
back together and do a show,
Solowitz told The Ralphie
Radio Show via Skype. Were
no spring chickens anymore, but
I think that would even add to the
comedy of it all.
That is how the band started
out: As a comedy. The whole
premise of 2Ge+her was to spoof
the boy-band craze of the late
90s. But after the made-for-
MTV movie aired, the popularity
of the five guys grew off the
charts. The project spawned an
additional two TV seasons and
two albums. Fans still remember
the lyrics to songs like U + Me
= Us (Calculus) and Say It
(Dont Spray It). Solowitz wants
to recapture that magic, and the
rest of the crew is down for an-
other go at it.
Me and Kevin (Farley) were
at lunch at The Newsroom (in
Los Angeles), and we were like,
Dude, we should totally do a
reunion show, recalled Solo-
witz. He was like, Cool, and I
was like, Alright, pose for a
picture!
Solowitz posted the photo to
his Facebook page and instantly
received likes, comments and
friend requests. The light bulb
that had gone off in his head
moments ago wasnt turning off
anytime soon. Immediately, it
was his goal to rally the troops on
the social networks and grab
MTVs attention. So far, so good.
TMZ and CNN blogged about
the story already, and Solowitz
revealed during the interview that
MTV has also been contacted
directly regarding some type of
unlikely comeback for this un-
likely band.
In addition to Solowitz and
Farley, Noah Bastian and Evan
Farmer are also on board for the
possible reunion. Not joining the
group will be the youngest, Mi-
chael Cuccione, who lost a battle
with cancer in 2001. Solowitz
said that he plans to perform at
least one live show in addition to
the TV return, with a portion of
the proceeds from the concert
going to a foundation set up in
Cucciones honor to fund cancer
research.
OH BABY, BABY, BABY
TMZ reported this past week
that Justin Bieber has in fact
participated in a paternity test to
decide once and for all if he
fathered the child of Mariah
Yeater. The mother claims that
the pop star impregnated her
backstage at a concert in Los
Angeles. Biebers camp has
vehemently denied all claims
made by Yeater and her lawyers.
Biebers DNA was sent from
New Jersey to California, where
it would be tested.
All of the negative press sur-
rounding the singer has not hurt
his career, at least yet. Bieber
dropped Under the Mistletoe,
his holiday album, and it debuted
at No. 1. The Biebs had some
tough competition as well, beat-
ing out rapper Wales Ambi-
tion, which also was released
earlier this month.
In addition to taking paternity
tests and releasing No. 1 albums,
Bieber made news last weekend
when he appeared on stage dur-
ing LMFAOs performance as a
dancer at the American Music
Awards. The Canadian-born
artist arrived at the show with
girlfriend Selena Gomez, dis-
pelling rumors that the two are
on shaky ground following all of
the news that Bieber may have
allegedly fathered a child.
