Letter from the editor
I will never cease to be amazed at the will of a small group of fans of zombie movies. On Sept. 12, the Weekender staff assembled a group of models and makeup artists in the alley outside JVW, Inc. in Scranton with a harebrained scheme – make these people members of the undead and have them chase a willing victim. The result was a lot of fun, as evidenced by this week’s cover story and accompanying photos. Makeup artists Dolores Moyles, Jim O’Hora, and Danielle M. Quinn and models Heather Brodt, Katie Gattuso, John and Lyndsey Hughes, Dominique Kozuch, Jessica Manning, Kris Marconi, and Jillian Soprano joined staff writer Rich Howells and I as members of the undead who hunted down model Jacinta Appel – a trooper who, among other tasks, climbed a treacherous fence between a downtown Scranton parking garage and hobby shop. While we learned that some people smile when they scream, we also learned one thing that’s common in most zombie films. Ordinary people, whether they’re strangers or not, will unite under unusual circumstances for a common goal. Of course, it’s a lot simpler to say you’ll join a photo shoot than it is to, for example, join a roam-
social
ing horde of survivors when the dead walk the earth. I hope I’ll find the same level of camaraderie should the latter happen sooner than the former. Inside, you’ll find more goodies from beyond the grave, including Rich’s interview with “Night of the Living Dead” star Judith O’Dea and IronE Singleton, the actor who portrays T-Dog in AMC’s “The Walking Dead.” Both will appear at “Infect Scranton” this weekend as the event shambles through Scranton and Taylor. We’ve also got the details on a self-defense course specially tailored towards fighting off the undead. One trainer’s tip? If you happen to rip off a zombie’s arm, beat them with it. Good advice in just about any situation. Enjoy this week’s edition, and thanks for reading.
- Christopher J. Hughes, Weekender editor

KIRBY CENTER HAS BUSY SPRING It was announced Friday that legendary comedian, actor, and philanthropist, Bill Cosby, will return to the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts (71 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre) on Friday, April 5 at 8 p.m. Tickets go on sale Friday, Sept. 21 at 10 a.m. One of America’s most prolific comedians, Cosby has dazzled generations of fans with his comedy routines, also captured on his iconic albums and bestselling books such as “Fatherhood” and the groundbreaking “The Cosby Show.” Time Magazine called the long-running sitcom “an encouraging sign of maturity in matters of race,” and “The Cosby Show” dominated the number 1 spot for years, earning nearly-unanimous critical praise. For his philanthropic efforts and positive influence as a performer and author, Cosby was honored with a 1998 Kennedy Center Honors Award. In 2002, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian honor, and he is the 2009 recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. In a 2009 interview with the Weekender, Cosby spoke fondly yet tongue firmly implanted in cheek of the hot dogs from Abe’s (419 S. Main St., Wilkes-Barre) that he enjoys while in town. “I go in there and they lay out 250 hot dogs, and I go down the line, and I make a choice of two of them. And they’ll prepare them and put onions and a teaspoon of chili. In the dressing room, I’ll eat ’em and open up a bottle of Evian and a high-bloodpressure pill,” he said. In addition, the Kirby announced Monday that the NBC reality/talent show is bringing it’s live version of “America’s Got Talent” to Wilkes-Barre on March 16 at 8 p.m. The “America’s Got Talent Live: All-Stars Tour” will feature the most popular acts from the show’s last two seasons, and it will be hosted by special tour emcee Jerry Springer.

SIGNATURE WEAPON School officials in Grand Island, Neb., told Hunter Spanjer that the way he signs his name violates the schools’ anti-weapons policy and that he’ll have to abandon it. Hunter is 3 1/2 years old, deaf, fluent in the language Signing Exact English, and uses a hand flourish as his unique signature (registered with SEE), except that officials say the flourish looks like Hunter is threatening with a weapon. At press time, Hunter’s parents were still negotiating with officials.

UNHAPPY ENDING A 30-year-old man in Providence, R.I., told police in August that he was the victim of a sexual assault, and police are investigating. The man said he had gone to the North Main Street Spa for a professional massage and was unable to avoid a sex act administered by his “masseuse,” “Yo Yo.” (The Providence Journal did not publish his name be-

’Meeting of the Minds’ in Equinunk welcomes the Primus-meets-FelaKuti sounds of Antioquia this weekend. haven’t looked back since, even playing their own wedding. The group just released their third full-length album and their first with the husband and wife team, “Viajero,” in May, which continues to broaden their unique sound. “I don’t know if it was ever a conscious decision, but Adley and Craig really set the tone early on for what making music in Antioquia was going to be like. That process was going to have no filter whatsoever. Anything is fair game, anything that we bring to the table that sounds good, that’s fun to play, that’s going to work. If it’s harder than we can play at the time, then all the better. We’ll just practice and try to make it work,” she explained. “That vibe is just incredibly open, incredibly eclectic, incredibly ambitious, and really fun. Nothing’s ever allowed to be boring. If we get bored, we changed something. That’s how it works.” Much like their music, if Antony-Levine gets bored of describing the band to others one way, she’ll simply “change it up.” “For a while, I was telling people that we do Afro-Columbian psychedelic love funk, which people really like but I don’t know if they really understood what it meant. Now sometimes I’ll just say progressive rock mixed with traditional rhythms, but then other times I say it’s Primus meets FelaKuti. So maybe I should tell people all three of those,” she mused.
When the band plays the 2012 Meeting of the Minds Festival in Equinunk on Sept. 22, she hopes the music will resonate with audiences, no matter how they describe it. “I love the process of a new crowd. I love seeing what they go through because it’s pretty standard. The first song – we usually hit them with something weird right in the beginning so they know what they’re getting into. We don’t want to start off too digestible because it could give you a cramp later on,” AntonyLevine described. “Usually people are confused…Some of them are smiling while they’re confused. But then usually we’ll play a song that’s just kind of like straight dance funky that just gets them on the dance floor…Then, by the time we get down on the floor with our traditional drums, which we do at least twice every show, people are in the process of losing their minds. That is the moment when we’re like, ‘Great, now we’re all in this moment together and we can just lose our W s--t completely.”

Most people only dream of singing in their favorite band, but Rachel Antony-Levine lives it every day. While she came singing “out of the womb,” playing piano and performing in musicals around age 7, taking up the flute by 9, and writing and performing songs at 13, she wasn’t looking for a career in music, but it soon worked out that way. Antioquia formed seven years ago when guitarist Adley Penner and drummer Craig Miller met in Ecuador and then moved to Columbia in the department of Antioquia, where they not only took their namesake but wrote songs that would eventually become the band’s first album. Two years later, they moved to San Francisco, adding other members and fans like AntonyLevine and her future husband, Tomas Salcedo. The pair was so enamored by the band’s eccentric mix of rock, funk, and West African percussion that they asked the group to perform at their wedding. But just after Antioquia booked a huge East Coast tour, singer Maddy Streicek quit the band. The thought that she could replace her didn’t even cross her mind. “I wasn’t even thinking about it. I was just thinking, ‘Oh gosh, what is Antioquia going to do without Maddy because she’s such an amazing presence and force in the band?’ And then Tomas said to me, ‘Well, babe, I was thinking what if we just quit everything and join Antioquia?’ And I told him that’s ridiculous. There’s no way. I was right on the verge of finishing school, and we were planning on moving to Chile together,” Antony-Levine recalled. “I started thinking about it, and I figured out a way that I could kind of save my degree and also join the band. Then I realized that this was just a pretty incredible opportunity that probably wouldn’t come around again.” After rehearsing for just three weeks, with Salcedo joining on guitar, they hit the road and

Possibly most essential Po osssib ibly ly the he m o t es os esse sent se n ia nt i l aaspect as spe pect ct is is the the celebrity th celebr ce cele leebr b it ityy guests, gues gu e ts es t,
giving fans a chance to meet the cast and crew of their favorite horror films and TV shows and take away an autograph or a story worth bragging about. Each guest has many of their own stories to tell, though few may have as much insight into the origins of the zombie craze as Judith O’Dea,
who starred as Barbara in “Night of the Living Dead.” The 1968 George A. Romero film was the first to introduce zombies and establish all the “rules” the undead cannibals live, or die, by. “As time went by and the popularity of the film grew, I became more and more amazed of the longevity of the concept of zombies,” O’Dea recalled in a recent phone interview. “The way George did it had its own uniqueness,
would be the case. “My parents had calls from people saying, ‘How could you let your daughter be in such a violent film?’” she acknowledged. “We were on the verge of changing the way horror films were made. Yes, horror films became much more graphic – so, so violent – and I guess we had a hand in that. Does it bother me? A little bit, but still, I was a part of something special. That’s what I hold dear.” Those distracted by its graphic content often missed the other aspect Romero became known for in all his zombie films – the social commentary. The zombies set the stage, but the real players are those struggling to survive, including the late Duane Jones as Ben. O’Dea insists he was hired on the strength of his audition rather than the color of his skin, but the fact that he was cast as the hero broke ground and forced viewers to look deeper into the movie’s observations on human nature. “When that film came out, nobody made a big deal in the script about Duane being a black man in 1968. That’s one of the most important things I cherish about the movie and one of the things I think that has made it remain strong all these years,” she emphasized. “(Also) I think that the way George told it, the way he kept it moving made it more a docu-drama…People said, ‘Oh my God, if this ever really happened…Could it happen?’ It brought a sense of realism with its documentary-type feel to the storytelling.”
so initially, I didn’t question whether or not this was going to be around for a long time.” Simply thrilled to be in her first feature film, she had no idea at the time she returned home to the Pittsburgh area to shoot “Night” at the age of 23 that it would be hailed as such a classic decades later. Initial reactions to the shocking gore and violence also gave SEPT. 21 little indication 4:45 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.: Scranton After that this

people feel like they have to kind of resort to these zombie apocalyptic-type tactics in order to survive.” Much in the same way that “House of Wax” starring Vincent Price terrified O’Dea as a child, Singleton’s mother used to take him to various “Friday the 13th” and “A Nightmare on Elm Street” movies that scared him so much that he avoided the genre as an actor. “It kinds of traumatized me a bit, so I was a little hesitant at first (to audition). Then I found out who was on the project and changed my mind quickly – (developer) Frank Darabont and (producer) Gale Anne Hurd, who are legends, living legends,” Singleton admitted. “I just knew that it had the potential to be good because of who was overseeing the project…The entire cast, we all thought the same way. The
writing is good, the execs are awesome, the crew is great. Let’s see what happens.” What happened was record setting. The show became an instant, award-nominated hit, receiving 9 million viewers in its second season finale and ranking as the number one drama series in basic cable history in several key demographics. Season three, set to premiere Oct. 14, Singleton promises will be “apocalyptic,” excitingly spelling out “O-M-G.” “Somebody compared it to if you took all those great shows that have been on TV like ‘24,’ ‘Lost,’ to you name it - ‘The Walking Dead’ first episode will be even better than all of them put together combined,” he enthused. “I think people are going to get a decent dose of T-Dog and find out a little bit more about him.” It’s a character that he
related to from the beginning. “T-Dog’s a good guy. T-Dog has experienced a lot of hardship…comparing it to my life story. T-Dog is one that is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice if it’s going to help someone else or to better help humanity. He has a great heart, and he’s all about right over wrong, good over evil,” Singleton described. In the end, “The Walking Dead” even converted him into a “walker” fan, becoming a “Green Brigade Commander” of the online Zombie Survival Crew and writing a song about the show. Attending the convention specifically for its charitable aspects, he is looking forward to sharing the love with fans along with O’Dea. “Being able to talk to the people who have sustained (“Night”) is one thing I love more than anything else. That’s really why I go to these
conventions,” O’Dea insisted. Despite representing two different generations of survivors, they may also share a little mutual adoration for each other’s work. “(‘Night’) was probably the first zombie movie I ever saw…I was freaked out,” Singleton said. “I’ve seen pretty much a lot of the other zombie movies since then…but definitely ‘Night of the Living Dead’ is one that is most memorable. It was probably a lot more real than the rest of them, maybe because it was the first.” “I think ‘The Walking Dead’ …is incredibly well done,” O’Dea added. “That they have spent so much money and so much time on the zombie theme blows my mind.” W

Both of these aspects influenced writer Robert Kirkman when he created “The Walking Dead,” the comic-book-turned-TVshow that has only further popularized zombies in modern pop culture. “The Blind Side” star IronE Singleton, perhaps best known for playing T-Dog in “The Walking Dead” series on AMC, is another guest at Infect Scranton who appreciates this facet of the zombie mythos. “It’s symbolic of the world we live in today, from… race and religion - there’s a nice dose of that in there - to politics. If you think about our politics today, it’s kind of scary,” Singleton told The Weekender. “You see that these decisions that our leaders are making serve as a direct influence on the people, and it seems as though these decisions are making some

ilms and comic books may carry tips on the best ways to kill a zombie, but the best offense may be a good defense. That’s why Rob Thomas, 39, sensei of the 570 Dojo (R. 418 S. Main St., Taylor), is excited to present a unique brand of
self-defense techniques on Saturday, Sept. 22 from 3-4 p.m. at Riverside Jr./Sr. High School (310 Davis St., Taylor) during Infect Scranton. Thomas normally offers appointment-only classes in Tsunami self-defense, a co-ed reality-based, street smart course; Tsunami combative,
self-defense; Girl on Guard, a women’s-only self-defense class; and Mushin-Do, the most traditional self-defense system with a colored belt rank system. While he also holds community presentations on the importance of standard selfdefense throughout the year, his course on preparing for the onslaught of the undead will be a first. “We’re taking real selfdefense techniques that we
avoid becoming infected,” he said. “It’s going to be as real as we can make it.” Giving a real demonstration includes having his wouldbe attackers dressed as the living dead, including fellow instructor Shanta Lee and some students from Riverside who have worked with Thomas in the past. Essential self-defense, whether it’s for the end of the world or the end of the week,
rely on a few key points. “Being aware of your surroundings and the environment around you is key,” Thomas said. “You also should know who is around you. Is there more than one zombie or thug? Those things are key. All self-defense, before any techniques or martial arts moves are applied, start with how you conduct yourself and how your carry yourself in public. “In all seriousness, every more that we’re showing is a reality-based self-defense move.” While the tactics are real, there’s a lot of fun to be had with the tongue-in-cheek preparation for the fallout. “It’s going to be a blast,” Thomas said with a laugh. “My biggest fear, actually, is that people who are hardcore zombie fans will say a certain move wouldn’t work against a zombie.” Should he find himself in Raccoon City, Evans City, or any other town plagued by the undead, Thomas said that he’d chose a “very large machine gun with a huge clip and lots of ammo” in order to get out alive. If one wasn’t available, he’d wield a samurai sword. “I trained in samurai swords, so I’m proficient in those. Last resort would be a machete,” he said. W

ALBUM REVIEWS
Hood builds several dark, beautiful snapshots Drive-By Truckers frontman Patterson Hood has been synonymous with a prolific, sympathetic narrative of the American South. Hood’s penchant for the third-person realism of Joe Nobody’s everyday existence in a brutal socio-economic wasteland litters Truckers’ classics like 2004’s epic “The Dirty South.” On this, his third solo release, Hood is less a mouthpiece for Rebel discontent, instead playing the bittersweet examiner of all things life-affirming as well as life-taking. Hood’s songwriting has always
been sharp. His snapshots of a beaten-down drunken binge are in focus on opener “12:01,” Hood vividly recalls crossing a county line “to where the liquor laws are different.” The acoustic thump of “Leaving Time” is an ode to the emotions swirling before heading out on tour, family man Hood in slightly demure posturing tells of “doing what you’re told without a fuss, running the errands and loading the bus.” The familiar craggy Drive-By Truckers guitar crunch is present in “Better Off Without,” as Hood gives barbed-wire testimony to
Cat Power ‘Sun’ Rating: W W W W
'Sun' shines with past power The result of six years beams through Cat Power’s blazing “Sun.” Chan Marshall harnessed the fire of confident, self-aware strength and dimmed it to a honeyed glow via vocal overdubs and a tasteful helping of Auto-tune. Her smoky, southern yowls are layered with a bright, contemporary sound that rides select beats mixed by Phillipe Zdar (the Beastie Boys, Chromeo, the Rapture.)
an impending disastrous breakup. Hearing lines like “I only held her down until she stopped fighting” is at once raw and cathartic. Whereas the characters and situations in his Truckers output are usually left with a sense of non-resolution and awkward discomfort, Hood’s work here is treated to a quiet sense of optimism and awareness. In an album mostly void of the Truckers’ triple-guitar bombast, Hood’s country-inflected roots ramble lets this material inhale a deep breath of contemplation, as seen in the tribute to a friend since passed in “Come Back Little Star” - Hood’s desperate piano accompaniment echoing pain with each note. A deeply personal statement from a songwriter that knows how to capture life in a bottle, this solo set is Hood on his most sincere musical footing. W

“Cherokee” boldly opens “Sun” with an array of piano chords striking between beats and her gravelly crooning that loops into a sudden sample of a screeching eagle before diving back into the percussive heartbeat— from drum machine to handclaps—that drives the rest of the album. The opening song’s hook—“If I die before my time, bury me upside down/Bury me, marry me to the sky”—muses over mortality. In the next to last song, Marshall and Iggy Pop mosey through nearly11minutes of carpe diem philosophy, chanting, "you ain’t got nothin’ but time, and it ain’t got nothin’ on you." Cat Power’s beautifully brazen choices carry through the album with a satisfying cohesion. “Sun” doesn’t mimic Marshall’s last original studio album, 2006’s indie-hallowed “The Greatest,” or any other singular Cat Power album. Lyrically, it has less poetic imagery and more philosophy-inspired mantras, echoing past Cat Power songs like the title track off 2003’s “You Are Free.” “Sun” is glaringly its own, though embers of past albums flicker throughout this densely layered, intimate album, from the controlled passion and political observations of lead-single “Ruin” to the grit-rock guitar on “Silent Machine.” The stylistic mélange and Marshall’s frank, personal approach to lyrics and production deliver. Cat Power’s “Sun” shakes with the raw breath of liberation and a soulfully, hip-swaying sense of self. W

Patterson Hood ‘Heat Lightning Rumbles In The Distance’
P!nk ‘The Truth About Love’ Rating: W W W W
Pink delivers another winner Listening to Pink’s new album is like watching a reality show about the ups and downs of her relationship with her husband, motorcycle racer Carey Hart: She’s over him at times, under him at others. There are fights, and makeups, and then more breakups. There are “I hate yous” and “I love yous.” And all of it makes for good listening.
Top 8 at 8 with Ralphie Aversa 8. Gotye/Kimbra: ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’ 7. Maroon 5: ‘One More Night’ 6. Owl City/Carly Rae Jepsen: ‘Good Time’ 5. Ellie Goulding: ‘Lights’
RATING:
4. P!nk: ‘Blow Me (One Last Kiss)’ 3. Katy Perry: ‘Wide Awake’ 2. Demi Lovato: ‘Give Your Heart A Break’ 1. Flo Rida: ‘Whistle’
“The Truth About Love,” the singer’s sixth release, is an exceptional album that takes you through Pink’s rollercoaster of emotions, as her scratchy voice pierces on songs to create not just enjoyable tunes, but beautiful ones. Like 2008’s “Funhouse,” on which Pink detailed her thenestrangement from her husband, Hart remains the centerpiece of Pink’s emotions. “I hate you, I really hate you so much I think it must be true love,” she sings over a fun beat on “True Love,” which gets a cute assist from Lily Rose Cooper (aka Lily Allen). Pink wants her lover to return on the rock-filled “How Come You’re Not Here,” she’s explosive on first single “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” and wondering why love went wrong on the eerie and beat-driven “Where Did the Beat Go,” singing lyrics like “I was naked and waiting for you to come back” and “you couldn’t see anything beyond ‘your baby’s momma’” (the couple had their first child last year). “Walk of Shame” is hilarious, sassy, upbeat and signature Pink. “Beam Me Up” is slow and gorgeous, and “Just Give Me a Reason” is an amazing, bluesy duet with Nate Ruess of fun. The album, which also features Eminem and was mostly produced by Greg Kurstin, continues to showcase Pink’s versatility: This firecracker can pretty much sing a song from any genre.

THINK YOU’RE ATTRACTIVE?
By Mike Sullivan
Rating: W
Weekender Correspondent
Alice (Milla Jovovich) is up to her old zombie-killing tricks. Her same, tired old zombie-killing tricks.
Nothing redeeming in 'Resident Evil: Retribution' For those who haven’t been keeping track, “Resident Evil: Retribution” marks the fifth entry in the inexplicably popular “Resident Evil” franchise. Yes. The fifth entry. You would think that the series’ fanbase would have graduated from junior high, thrown away all of their silk-screened “Dragonball Z” shirts and moved on years ago, but you would be wrong. Instead they continue to embrace a film series that somehow manages to be actionpacked yet incredibly dull. The sight of an Eastern European woman in quasi-bondage
gear kicking a chainsaw wielding zombie in the face should be provoking a lot more reactions than mild depression and overwhelming drowsiness. Hinting at the boredom that lies waiting just ahead, “Resident Evil: Retribution” opens with an overlong sequence in which series protagonist Alice (Milla Jovovich) talks directly to the camera and slowly walks us through the tortured mythology of the last four “Resident Evil” movies. This is so long-winded and excruciating you get the feeling that it would have taken far less
time to just run the last four “Resident Evil” movies back to back instead. From there we learn that the sinister Umbrella Corporation is keeping her prisoner within a massive underwater facility where zombie outbreaks were staged within model cities that resemble Tokyo, Moscow, and a generic suburban neighborhood. As Alice attempts to escape, she’s pursued by Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory), a one time ally who’s now transformed into a ruthless assassin – (sigh) you know what? Who cares? Besides, does anyone watch these movies
for their surprisingly complicated plots? Here’s what “Resident Evil: Retribution” is really about: a group of people who mumble out exposition in an unwavering monotone and occasionally perform backflips in slow motion. Now repeat this for the next 90 or so minutes and you have something that vaguely resembles a movie. It takes a special kind of hack to botch a “can’t miss” premise and Paul W.S. Anderson is that hack. Throughout his long directing career, Anderson has careful-
ly drained the fun out of potential trash classics like “Alien vs. Predator” and forever damned them to an eternity spent in the DVD bargain bin at Wal-Mart. “Resident Evil: Retribution” could’ve been pure electrifying garbage but, much like the rest of his films, it’s a humorless slog. You would think a guy who primarily specializes in the action genre would realize that when you make these kinds of films you have to raise the stakes or gradually heighten the action in some way. But in this movie all of the action sequences share a bland uniformity and every interminable fight scene is indistinguishable from the last. Occasionally, Anderson will stumble upon an interesting idea (some of the characters have good and bad clones) or a striking image (such as Michelle Rodriguez oozing bullets out of her index finger) but he immediately glosses over it in favor of more footage of spent bullet casings slowly traveling through the air. Talentless and unimaginative, Anderson seems to live in a world were 1999 never ended and “The Matrix” is still very relevant. Granted, being that “Resident Evil: Retribution” is the second to last entry in a mediocre franchise, nobody was expecting all that much. But then nobody was expecting it to be this bad either. About the only positive thing that could be said about “Resident Evil: Retribution” is that Jovovich looks good in bangs. W And that’s not easy to do.

Carbondale man wins Best Director for new horror film By Christopher J. Hughes Weekender Editor
Family members will tell you that Adam Dunning can’t go 10 minutes without talking about his original movies. “I can probably make it about eight minutes,” the 23-year-old director from Carbondale said with a laugh. That never-ending drive to make movies is just one part of the formula that helped Dunning pin down the Best Director award at the 2012 San Antonio Horrific Film Festival earlier this month for his second feature-length movie, “Laughter.” The film was also nominated for Best Feature and Best Makeup for the special effects work done by Dunning, Jessica Lindgren, Danielle M. Quinn, and Carolyn Seibert.
The plot of “Laughter” follows Joey (Rocky Petroziello), a young man ridiculed at school and home for his obsession with clowns. At a going away party following their high school graduation, several of Joey’s classmates stage a prank that turns fatal. The friends swear themselves to an oath of secrecy about the events of that night, but they’re gruesomely picked off by a mysterious man dressed as a clown. “Laughter” follows Dunning’s film career that began with the local premiere of “the inFected” in Feb. 2011. Writing for the most recent movie occurred between April and Oct. 2011, and a casting call was held in Moosic in Jan. 2012. Filming began in March and wrapped in June, Dunning said. Assembling a cast allowed Dunning to control all of the action from behind the camera. With 14 main cast members and about 40 extras, he never had to fill in as an actor like he had in “the inFected.”
Carbondale resident and recent Best Director winner Adam Dunning will premiere ’Laughter’ at Marquee Cinemas in Scranton on Oct. 28. The accolades he received in Texas weren’t limited to the Best Director win. Several horror fans in attendance told him he could do “dangerous work” with some
new production equipment. For now, however, he’s focused on bucking the Hollywood trend of recycling old characters with reboots.
‘Laughter’ premiere, Sun. Oct. 28, 6 p.m., Marquee Cinemas (301 Lackawanna Ave., Scranton). Tickets: $5, available in advance from director Adam Dunning at (570) 903-7427 or dunnlacka@yahoo.com.

Getting the last laugh
“I don’t have to have a $150,000 budget or a $200 million budget to make a movie and worry about whether people are going to like it or hate it. I just made a movie for $3,000 compared to what they can do $200,000,” he said. “If you have a good story and a good cast, it doesn’t matter what kind of equipment you really use.” “Laughter” will premiere locally at Marquee Cinemas (301 Lackawanna Ave., Scranton) on Sunday, Oct. 28 at 6 p.m. Tickets are $5, and Dunning recommends purchasing one of the 500 available seats in advance by reaching him at (570) 903-7427 or dunnlacka@yahoo.com. Additional showings may be added if the film is popular, he said. In addition, DVDs of “Laughter” and a companion CD with music from both of his films will be available at the premiere for $15.

ralphie report By Ralphie Aversa
Special to the Weekender
DMX on stage this past August. It has been six years since rapper DMX released a studio album prior to dropping “Undisputed” last Tuesday. While the “Ruff Ryder” has not lost his bark, it definitely seems as if he is more deliberate with his bite. “Music always evolves and morphs into different things,” X said in explaining his stance on the current state of hip-hop. The rapper called in to “The Ralphie Radio Show” last week. “At the same time, man you got young minorities who are successful. Not only that person, but I’m sure he has a crew with him… that’s at least 10 people with a job, doing something positive. Whether I approve it or not, I’m glad that they’re successful in what they’re doing.” The emcee, born Earl Simmons, is not just talking a big game. His new disposition has kept him out of trouble with the law for over a year, and afforded him the time to write and record his latest LP. “I’m just focused on my music again,” he said. “To have it taken from me, I learned to appreciate it as much as I do now. When I went in for this album, I felt like I did when I recorded my first album. I was hungry for it. I wanted it. I needed it.” Certainly fans that discovered DMX with 1998’s “It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot” are happy to hear him rapping instead of reading about him on TMZ. But now in 2012, there are a whole new generation of hip-hop fans that may know X more for those headlines. The rapper notes that he was not influenced by a potential new audience when recording this album.
(via twitter.com/dmx)
“The beauty in the truth is that it’s timeless,” X said. “It will reach every generation, as long as you keep it the truth.” DMX believes his new music can do just that. The rapper released the album on Sept. 11, and will donate his proceeds from first week sales to 9/11 victims and families. X also briefly commented on his still-in-progress gospel music album. The New Yorker said the LP is “definitely coming” and is “pretty much done.” ERIKA VAN PELT PLANS LIFE POST-IDOL “American Idol” season eleven finalist Erika Van Pelt did not forget her roots, and she’ll be returning to them soon. “I’m letting my lease run out in Massachusetts and I’m actually moving back to Warwick (R.I.),” Van Pelt revealed on “The Ralphie Radio Show.” “I can’t really say exactly what it is yet, but I’m going to be doing some work with Alex and Ani.” The Ocean State-based jewelry company will be enlisting the help of the “Idol” singer for new jingles and other commercial-related services. Other than that, Van Pelt will be working on a new album, independently. “I don’t have a label or a management contract as of right now,” she said. “But I do want to make a record, and I know if I have to fund it independently, I totally will. I’ll do more DJ gigs; whatever I have to do to make that happen.”

Tale of redemption behind the scenes By Christopher J. Hughes Weekender Editor
An effort to give back to his hometown led Kevin Davis down an unusual path that ended on a movie set. Davis, a Wilkes-Barre native and current Taylor resident, recently completed shooting on “Man in a Box,” a film he wrote, produced, directed, and starred in. The film is a way for Davis to give back to the city he once lived in. He explained that he served time in a correctional facility in 1990 for selling drugs. “Instead of becoming an asset to Luzerne County, I became a liability,” he said. “That’s never left me. I’ve always regretted that, and I’ve always wanted to redeem myself.” Part of that goal was achieved in 2005 when he became a nurse, he said, but it continues with the completion of “Man in a Box.”
’Man in the Box’ director Kevin Davis conveys instructions to the cast at Arts YOUniverse in Wilkes-Barre during a rehearsal last month. (Bill Tarutis photo / For Weekender) The film came to him in an unusual way. While he was unemployed earlier this year, he began thinking about ways to stay creative. With some encouragement from Luzerne County Community College instructor Sally Healey, he was on his way to developing
the script for the film. “Man in a Box” addresses the series of difficult consequences that the main character, Lloyd, faces including his actions to kill his abusive parents that results in his sister’s accidental death. He aims to kill himself after the
episode, but he has run out of bullets. “He’s haunted by that, which is where the box comes into play,” Davis explained. Lloyd is treated in a mental institution for 20 years and emerges in a very different world. An unfortunate set of circumstances sets him on a crossroads with members of the mob. Driven by his heavily Catholic faith, Davis said Lloyd becomes somewhat of a “religious vigilante” in the search for justice. “I would have never thought in a million years that I could write a feature film,” Davis confessed. “Writing was something that I didn’t think was a strength of mine, and I still don’t, but it was a lot of fun. It got a life of its own once I started writing it.” Some critical networking led Davis to work with Tom Peeler, who “really polished the script a great deal.” The film attracted actors from as far as Texas and sup-
port from a wide variety of local businesses who provided catering services and locations to shoot. “Man in a Box” was filmed in Pittston, Kingston, Wilkes-Barre, Plymouth, and Taylor, according to Davis, and shooting wrapped this weekend. “It’s been a joyride for me, and the support is just humbling,” he said. “For me to go from beginning to end to where we are now in the time that I was able to do it, I just can’t believe it,” he said. DynaCore Films, Davis’ production company, is planning a crowd-funding campaign on www.kickstarter.com to raise funds for post production. Davis hopes to premiere the film locally and submit it to film festivals once it is completed. W

FROM THE FRYER
East of Eden By Kacy Muir
Weekender Correspondent
‘East of Denver’ By Gregory Hill Rating: W W W W stereotypical. Much of that is due to the way Shakespeare depicts them. As Shakespeare begins to immerse himself back into Dorsey, he finds that his friends are much more complicated and supportive than they appear. Shakespeare comes across undefined in many aspects. He is lifeless and missing something integral — a connection to the people he has left behind. However, as the novel develops, so too, does Shakespeare. Each character seeks their own resolve to improve their life, but the force of the novel stems from this group of mishaps coming together to help Shakespeare settle the score and save Emmett from ruin. While reading, you may ask yourself if it seems appropriate to laugh. The answer is obvious. “East of Denver” is painstakingly funny — the novel offers a deep, dark look into the real life issues that make society uncomfortable. When we look back to the past and think of home, complications and embarrassing memories may flash before our eyes. One thing will always remain true — the people you chose to make those memories with become that home, and that is something that stays with you forever. W

Home has always been a place portrayed as our connection to consolation. However, in Gregory Hill’s debut novel, “East of Denver,” home proves to be anything but that charming sign plastered in spaces across America. Enter protagonist Stacey “Shakespeare” Williams. Shakespeare is a 30-something city slicker who left home for a place without any connection to the world he once knew. For him, home is nothing short of a plague — a place of dust and memories that can blow away in the blink of an eye. The story begins with the death of Shakespeare’s cat. Finding it unfit to bury his beloved pet in his backyard, he leaves for his hometown of Dorsey, a ghost town east of Denver, to lay his cat to rest. Readers soon learn that in Shakespeare’s absence, his aged father, Emmett, has sunk into senility, transforming from a man adored for his sharp wit to one severely diminished at the onset of Alzheimer’s. When Shakespeare returns to his childhood home, he finds that his father, Emmett, is on the brink of failure. While it becomes Shakespeare’s duty to save his family’s dwindling estate, the struggle becomes less about finances and more about the bond between father and son. Shakespeare realizes that a corrupt banker manipulated Emmett’s senility into submission for his own wealth. But, all is not lost. Shakespeare begins to resolve the seemingly ceaseless issues that have piled up since his departure. Characters Vaughn Atkins, D.J. Beckman, and Clarissa McPhail are all pieces of Shakespeare’s past that he also chose to leave behind. These characters live their lives reminiscing about the past — one of hopes and dreams that have since fallen to the wayside. In some instances they seem

The quick guide to zombie (fan) survival
Voted “ Best” Pipe& Herb S hop in NEPA

Infinite Improbability
I hate to break this to you, ladies, but zombies don’t want you for your brains, either. Yes, men are pigs, but more importantly, zombies crave human flesh, not just your cranium candy. There seems to be a bit of confusion on this topic, so before you attend the Infect Scranton zombie convention this weekend, or that supposed “zombie apocalypse” occurs that everyone can’t seem to stop talking about, I felt I should provide this handy little guide to all things zombie to help clear up any confusion you might have about those lovable reanimated carcasses: The modern zombie, and all its basic rules, came from one 43-year-old low-budget, black and white classic, though they were called “ghouls” in those days. Director George A. Romero’s first full-length feature, 1968’s “Night of the Living Dead,” would not only shape the rest of his career, but horror films as we know them. Originally conceived as a comedy about aliens and teenagers, the rough script thankfully took a much darker turn when George and co-writer John Russo rewrote it to tell an “I Am Legend”-inspired story (the novel, not the Will Smith movie) about a group of random survivors trapped in a farmhouse that is surrounded by the flesh-eating deceased who have come back to life. While the actors later admitted that much it was improvised, the movie brilliantly balanced Bmovie schlock with genuine horror, delivering something audiences had never seen before. Initially, “Night” was lambasted by critics for its shocking gore and violence, but by including a strong black man in the lead hero role and taking chances with its downer ending, film lovers later recognized that there was more beneath the surface and latched onto its social commentary and memorable end-of-civilization scenario. The idea of “ghouls” craving
“The Walking Dead” owes much of its mythos to modern zombie master George Romero. (AP Photo/AMC, Gene Page) human meat was established, along with the most important “rules” – if you get bit by one, you become one of them, and the only way to truly stop them is to destroy their brain. Zombies don’t just want to eat your brains, and they rarely make requests. Speaking of brains, one thing that is stuck in the American subconscious is the idea that zombies prefer the gray matter in your skull, but let me assure you – zombies don’t discriminate when it comes to fresh body parts. Zombies first called out for “Braaaiiins!” in the 1985 horror comedy “The Return of the Living Dead,” though the title is misleading – this is not a sequel to “Night” despite Russo being involved in the creation of the story. Romero continued to establish his own thematic zombie “universe” with 1978’s “Dawn of the Dead,” 1985’s “Day of the Dead,” and 2005’s “Land of the Dead,” while “Return” took a more lighthearted and campy look at zombies. “Return” remains an unapologetically ’80s cult classic, but its public legacy seems to boil down to that one iconic line uttered by the undead. How brainless. Zombies walk and are pretty dumb…at least for now. The idea of the “zombie” originated as someone who was
hypnotized or controlled by voodoo or witchcraft, but film fans later applied this term to Romero’s monsters because of their similar mindlessness. Considering George is the godfather of the modern zombie, I take his ideas as zombie bible. If there’s one thing scarier than a hoard of zombies overpowering you, it’s a hoard of zombies that could potentially learn how to overpower you. As he establishes throughout his original series, zombies have the potential to learn and evolve like any other creature on Earth, using tools or even simple planning to capture its prey. They are simply shells of us, after all, so the possibility of remembering their past lives (and, consequently, skills) remains a threat. So could they, eventually, learn to run? Not in Romero’s world, as corpses have a tough time maneuvering due to rigor mortis, but the celebrated 2002 film “28 Days Later,” while influenced by George, established a new type of zombie that is infected with a “Rage” virus, and, therefore, isn’t exactly dead. These fast zombies were continually popularized in the 2004 “Dawn” remake and various video games, but to me, the classics are the ones to follow in case of emergency. I mean, running zombies? Seriously? How unrealistic.

Special to the Weekender As predicted, the launch of the iPhone 5 drove Apple fans into a frenzy, and pumped sales to new heights – a whopping 2 million in the first 24 hours. Featuring high-speed 4G LTE connectivity, these devices are capable of consuming substantially more data than previous models. It’s only natural to assume that users of the latest iPhones will be putting the connectivity of their new devices through quite a workout – video calls, YouTube uploads, high-speed music downloads, and the like. Curiously, the iPhone 5’s 4G is incompatible with European 4G networks, in contrast to other 4G phones which can be used internationally – and while there was rampant speculation that “NFC” (Near Field Communications) capability would be offered in the iPhone 5, allowing users to pay at the checkout counter with just a

lem will only get worse. There are some bright spots amid the cloudiness. 4G signals are specifically designed to carry data efficiently, so the problem is not as bad as it would otherwise be. In addition, most providers are investing large amounts of money in infrastructure upgrades– adding capacity to their networks to cope with future increases. On top of that, they’re running out of usable spectrum. The government, the FCC in particular, periodically auctions off different chunks of the radio spectrum for use by commercial carriers – and the word is that the government is planning on making more available to commercial carriers, from frequencies previously reserved for military use. Even so, the radio spectrum – the usable portions at least – is finite, and while it’s not an
immediate issue, it’s possible we’re just a few revolutionary gadgets away from an Internet traffic jam – slowdowns caused by too many people trying to use the network at the same time. At the rate mobile devices are being phased in, by the time this happens, it won’t just be an inconvenience – it will have far-reaching implications for everything from e-mail to ecommerce. This is, in part, why some providers have taken “unlimited” data plans off the table. Despite that, most carriers are confident that, for the time being, their networks will remain relatively quick and efficient. Time will tell whether that confidence is realistic or merely born out of hubris. W

Friday’s event on the front lawn of the Everhart Museum (1901 Mulberry St., Scranton) does as much to help the museum as it does to promote a variety of healthy foods produced in northeastern Pennsylvania. The second annual Farm To Table dinner will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 21. The inaugural event was closely tied to the museum’s “Buds, Blooms, and Berries� exhibit in Sept. 2011. “We were looking to do something that celebrated local agriculture; fresh, organic, whole foods; and responsible eating,� explained Cara Sutherland, executive director of the Everhart. “We specifically targeted produce and foods created within a 100 mile radius.� The result is a menu filled with items picked just days before. Sutherland said Friday’s menu wouldn’t be finalized until Wednesday to guarantee the highest quality goods make their way to the table. The first event welcomed about 130 people, despite
heavy rains from the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee. Organizers are hoping for better weather for Friday’s rain-orshine event. Event co-chair Katharine Weis, of Clarks Summit, said that participating farms and businesses include No Bull Ranch in Mount Cobb, Hillside Farms in Dallas, Catherine Hynes from the Susquehanna Beekeepers’ Association, Susquehanna Brewing Company, and Epicurean Delight of Tunkhannock. Eckel’s Farm in Clarks Summit is also donating hay bales that will be transformed into seating areas for the event. “I love the whole idea of the fellowship of it – a community coming together to celebrate local food and drink,� added event co-chair Ali Duffy, who is also providing interior decoration services. “It’s a festive occasion to get to meet your neighbors. It’s terrific.� The family-style dinner aids the Everhart Museum’s original exhibits and programming – like next year’s planned vampire- and skateboardingthemed exhibits – while keeping admission fees low. “If you think about it, we’re trying to replace the loss of
more than $50,000 in state funding with the complete elimination of funding through the (Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission),â€? Sutherland said. In addition to the menu filled with regional refreshments, music will be provided by DJ Steven Wallace. Organizers have also added an auction to this year’s event. Offerings include the chance to win your own Farm To Table event catered by Be Life CafĂŠ and Marketplace of Clarks Summit; an overnight stay at Hotel Fauchère in Milford; and an antique piece of furniture. Tickets for Friday’s dinner, which is open to adults age 21 and over, are $100 per person and are available at www.everhart-museum.org or by calling (570) 346-7186. Sutherland recommends “country casualâ€? attire, and jeans are preferred.

The F Word Bottoms up By Stephanie DeBalko Weekender Correspondent
tell us... What’s your weapon of choice for surviving the zombie apocalypse?
By Stephanie DeBalko
Weekender Correspondent As much as I love fashion and clothes, there are certain pieces of clothing for which shopping becomes the bane of my existence. One of them is swimsuits, and another is pants. Unless I’ve had one too many cherry vodka and Diet Cokes, I generally shy away from the dance floor during Queen’s “Fat Bottomed Girls” for fear of close association. In addition to being pearshaped, I’m also very tall, so shopping for pants is usually a tiresome fiasco that ends with me reaching for the same old reliable straight-leg, blue denim or the occasional bell-bottom jean. This fall, I vow it will be different. For one thing, I’ve finally realized that the number on the size label, no matter how high, is irrelevant. What matters is the fit and wearing the correct size, whether it’s 2 or 22. And this season’s trends in bottoms are making me more excited than ever to start embracing new horizons. Allow me to elaborate. COLORED OR COATED DENIM Summer’s candy-colored trend is dipping into fall in a big way. Put a fresh fall spin on it with the wax-like finish of coated denim. Paired with a feminine top, the edginess becomes balanced and refined. PRINTED DENIM From American Eagle Outfitters to Marc by Marc Jacobs and from leopard to brocade, you can’t throw a rock without hitting a pair of printed jeans. I just stumbled upon a snakeskin-printed pair from Sofia Vergara’s line for Kmart, Sofia, that were reasonably priced — a great

option if you’re looking to get your feet wet with the style. LEATHER PANTS AND LEGGINGS Like their cousin coated denim, leather pants or leggings are an easy way to incorporate a little bit of hardness into your fall wardrobe. Real leather pants can cost upwards of $500, but vegan leather is much more affordable — and seems more comfortable, as most of us remember Ross Geller’s horrible experience with them in “Friends,” circa 1999.

stage A fascination with the “redneck” way of life is certainly strong in our country, and it isn’t just “Honey Boo Boo” that has everyone watching. “The Great American Trailer Park Musical” is coming back to our area this weekend and after the success of its first run, the Music Box Dinner Playhouse (196 Hughes St., Swoyersville) expects a full house. Having been compared to “Desperate Housewives” and “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,” this trailer park-inspired musical comedy is full of bawdy fun that director Dana Feigenblatt is sure audiences will love and laugh at. “It’s one of those shows that you can just sit back and enjoy,” explained Feigenblatt. “I think everyone will fall in love with the story we are telling and the wonderful music. We promise to make you laugh until your sides hurt!” “The Great American Trailer Park Musical” debuted at the Music Box Dinner Playhouse in April 2010 and was adored not only by the cast and crew but the audience as well. “It played to sold-out houses. This show was such a hit with audiences the first time we did it that we couldn’t wait to bring it back,” Feigenblatt said. The story is focused on the relationships between a few bizarre characters living in the Armadillo Acres mobile home community. The R-rated tale follows a “stripper on the run who comes between a Sally Jesse-loving agoraphobic housewife and her dim-witted husband.” Throw is a murderous ex-boyfriend, the electric chair, and a singing Greek chorus of trailer park divas and you’ve got yourself one heck of a hootenan-
Cast members of ’The Great American Trailer Park Musical’ include Cate McDonald, left, and Ryan Engle. ny. “It has all major components of a great show,” noted Feigenblatt. “Fun music, a well-written script, comedic moments and even touching moments…each of the seven characters has their own quirk and story, and once you put all of these together, you can’t help but laugh and have a great time.” Feigenblatt isn’t just working behind the scenes on the show either; she’s pulling double duty as an actress as well. “It was definitely a challenge but I have a great cast who has been working really hard, so they have helped to make my job a lot easier. We have had a great time in rehearsals.” Musical numbers throughout the show will cover a variety of genres from country and blues to rock and disco. The play has many aspects that Feignblatt is a huge fan of, but her favorite part isn’t revealed until the end. “There is an unexpected twist in the story that many people do not see coming. It is also one of
the funniest scenes in the show followed by an amazing song to summarize what all these characters have come to realize at this point in their lives,” she said. The Playhouse also created a special offer just for Weekender readers to “redneck-ognize.” “We are currently running a special discount if people mention they saw this story - $35 for dinner/ show and $16 for showonly tickets.” W

sorry mom & dad By Justin Brown
Weekender Correspondent
Justin has thrown down the beer pong challenge gauntlet. Will Fallon accept?
Game on, Jimmy Fallon! There are very few people that I’ve ever admired. Willow Smith. Kenny Powers. Lamb Chop. Instead of looking up to others and following in their footsteps, I march to the beat of my own drum. For instance, what’s the point of being on a reality show that people actually watch when you could be on ABC’s “I Survived A Japanese Game Show” which nobody remembers ever being on the air? Why would I be on the real “Dancing With The Stars” when I could be in a local version held in Scranton, competing against the vice principal in town? Why graduate college in less than a decade when I could be living in my parents’ basement looking for a job that is not available for me? Even someone as independent as me finds someone they aspire to be like. Most recently, that person is Jimmy Fallon. I was never particularly a fan of his time on “Saturday Night Live,” but when I saw him play beer pong with Betty White, he became my new favorite person in the world. Sorry, Mom and Dad. Anyone who plays beer pong with Betty White is my “American Idol,” my hero, my homeboy. Sorry, Jesus. Following his game with White, the newest addition to my
Bucket List was to play beer pong with the king of late night television. I may not have a hairless back, or two eyebrows without the help of hot wax, but if there is one thing I do have it’s tenacity. So, I started requesting interviews with him, challenging him to a game of beer pong over an interview. They were all denied. Last year, when I had my own entertainment segment on the NBC affiliate station, I was certain my requests would be accepted! Instead - denied, denied, denied. After nearly two years of attempts, I decided to stop before NBC’s publicist filed a restraining order. When I was visiting New York City last week, someone approached me and asked if I would like the last ticket to watch Fallon rehearse his monologue for that evening’s show. It was like it was meant to be. Watching Fallon in action reminded me why I wanted to play beer pong with him in the first place: Because he’s the f---ing man! So, Fallon, I’m on the prowl, publicly challenging you to a game of beer pong, only to remind all the boys and girls out there to never give up on something they started - until someone issues a restraining order on you.

The roster is as deep as ever in the new ’Tekken Tag Tournament 2.’
v
New 'Tekken' delivers classic combo Tag, you’re in! The most recent installment in the Tekken franchise, “Tekken Tag Tournament 2” (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U), is a long time coming. The last “Tekken Tag Tournament” game came out in 2000. I have spent a lot of time with the “Tekken” series and, because of my love of fighting games, a new entry is a big deal for me. Fighting games all have a learning curve of button combinations, but “Tekken” has always had more to learn because of the deep combo system and a huge roster of characters to master. Having thousands of combos to memorize, strategies to learn, and teams to experiment with is a big draw for me, but it is a turnoff for most people. If you are new to the series, there is a mode called the “Fight Lab” where you can learn the basics of fighting, different techniques for each fighter, and a variety of different training exercises. Each level of the Fight Lab is designed to teach the player how to do some advanced fighting moves like Binds or Tag Assaults. These levels can be quite silly because you do things like toss pizzas and battle what appears to be a fat version of Ryu from “Street Fighter.” Vets of the “Tekken” series love the complexity, and “Tekken
Tag Tournament 2” doesn’t disappoint. It’s got all the solid fighting mechanics that you know and love, like air juggles, huge combos, precision blocking, throw breaks, and dodges. The biggest change to the “Tekken” series is the advent of the Tag Assault system. If you get your timing right, then you can use your teammate to keep combos going and even juggle your foe in the air. The varying modes are each well-polished. Arcade mode is a string of eight fights with an ending boss battle, and Ghost Battle is essentially a neverending version of the classic construct. Of course it has versus mode, but it also has “Pair Play” which lets four people play on two teams of two each. Team Battle is a more traditional, tournamentstyle method with up to 16 players on two teams battling towards the top. “Tekken Tag Tournament 2” also has online modes, but there is nothing really earth shattering there. One great touch, however, is that you get placed in a training zone where you can practice fight while you’re waiting for your online game to load. The online system was also very stable. I played several matches and didn’t experience
’Tekken Tag Tournament 2’ is available now on PS3 and Xbox 360 with a title due for the Wii U. too much slowdown or connection failures. “Tekken Tag Tournament 2” isn’t revolutionary, but it provides classic “Tekken” game play, an expanded roster of new and returning characters, and a few adequate online modes. If you are a “Tekken” fan then you will be getting a great new addition, and if not, you will be getting a very polished fighting game to learn - if you are willing to invest the time.

Cigarettes are the single most common form of litter in the United States, so mind your butts.
Smoking gun commonly littered item in the United States and around the world today. A lot of folks claim that cigarettes are a “natural type of waste,” but this is simply not true. Cigarette butts are not biodegradable. They contain plastic filters that enter storm drains and sewers and get swept into rivers that carry them out to sea where they release toxic chemicals including nicotine, benzene, and cadmium that are extremely harmful. All types of litter have detrimental affects on birds as well. Cigarettes are a toxic type of litter that can poison birds if ingested. A small amount may not be life threatening immediately. However, cigarettes ingested by birds can cause serious illness and deformities over time. There’s also the threat of causing a damaging fire. Killing off wildlife and vegetation in a vast area due to a fire can take years to recover. To be exact, 90,000 fires a year are caused by cigarettes, according to the National Fire Protection Agency. Now that you know how your actions can affect the environment, I hope you’ll think twice before littering your next cigarette. W
Melissa’s own ‘Shaun of the Dead’ didn’t have as much of a sense of humor as these two. (AP Photo/Rogue Pictures) One night while I was downtown, I met a guy named Shaun. We chatted while waiting for our coffees and baked goods at Starbucks and, eventually, he asked me out. He was very charming and I happily accepted to meet him the next night. I asked what time he would be picking me up or if I should just meet him. He said he forgot to mention he didn’t have a car and asked if I could pick him up. He gave me his address, and I drove to get him. We decided to go for a lovely walk in the park and chat. We traded stories about our childhood. He then asked about my job, and I told him what I do for a living. When I asked about his, he said he didn’t have one. Then, Shaun dropped a bomb on me. He said he was a cancer survivor who actually died for five minutes a few years ago. What do you say to that? He then made a joke about
He said he was a cancer survivor who actually died for five minutes a few years ago…I, being the zombie movie connoisseur that I am, blurted out, “So, you died and came back? You’re a zombie. ‘Shaun of the Dead!’” it to make light of the situation and I, being the zombie movie connoisseur that I am, blurted out, “So, you died and came back? You’re a zombie. ‘Shaun of the Dead!’” This did not sit well as he quickly grew dark and quiet. Whoops, too far? We went for coffee, and while we were at the table chatting he asked if he could friend request me on Facebook. I told him sure, and within seconds my phone went off that I had a friend request. I accepted and he sunk his face into his phone - examining, scrolling, making faces, all the while silent. His head shot up and he looked at me with a bewildered expression. I asked what was wrong and he said
nothing, but we needed to go. Confused, I got back into the car and drove him to his house. When we had parked, he looked at me with a very serious expression. He pointed out that I had pictures of myself with lots of other girls. I said, “Yes, I have a lot of friends.” He put his hands on my lap and looked me straight in the eyes. “I cannot see you again,” he said. “It is clear you are a lesbian.” What?! He then climbed out of the car and ran into his house, leaving me sitting in the parking lot, flabbergasted. It was a new first in my life: I was dumped by a zombie because I am a lesbian. W

A few weeks ago I took a road trip with a friend to New York. If you have ever driven to upstate New York this time of year, you know that it’s absolutely beautiful. The route we took was mostly back roads, so we were surrounded by the great outdoors. Everything was going great and we were having an amazing time until my friend decided to carelessly toss his cigarette butt right out of the window. I was shocked. Littering of any kind is absolutely not allowed in my presence, or at all for that matter! So I yelled at my friend, a lot. I explained to him how damaging littering is to the environment, no matter how small the garbage is. After our long discussion I calmed down and we returned to having a good time, until a passing car did the same exact thing he did. I know people litter, but I never realized how second nature it was for so many people to just throw their cigarette butts out onto the open road so carelessly! For countless American smokers, cigarette butts are an exception to the “no littering rule.” According to Keep America Beautiful, cigarette butts are the most

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Lately, you’ve been craving imperfection. You’ve enjoyed your toast a little burnt, your clothing slightly frayed, and your apartment three degrees away from an ideal temperature. It’s not that you’ve finally accepted that the world isn’t perfect, or that you’ve become that much more appreciative of those imperfections (though you have). No, it’s just that you’re inching closer to the realization I’ve been goading you toward all along. You can’t be the missing piece to every puzzle. The irony is that once you accept the imperfections in yourself, you’ll fit that much more perfectly into this most imperfect world. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) You spend your days busily zooming from one responsibility to the next. You respond to the needs and demands of others like a good worker bee in a wellordered hive responds to the instructions of her fellows. She dutifully—one could even say delightedly—flies to flowers as directed, and gathers the nectar she’s supposed to collect. But when you’re conked on the head by the plummeting coconut of one of your own desires, you end up buzzing around in confused circles for a while. That’s been your life recently. But now that you’ve had time to recover from the impact of this want that has made itself so forcefully known, what will you do about it? SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) What’s the point of flowers, ultimately? Or butterflies—why are they so colorfully beautiful? From a prosaic viewpoint, one could dispassionately explain the evolutionary advantages of such characteristics. And speaking from the same platform, one of scientific evaluation, one could just as easily dispel your self-doubt by pointing out that you, too (with all your flaws and virtues), are the glorious product of millennia of evolution, with just as much purpose and beauty as a flower or butterfly. I happen to believe that there are many more levels to the "why" of a butterfly’s glory (and yours), beyond mere evolution. I also like to imagine that flowers and butterflies enjoy being what they are. Shouldn’t you? SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Get caught making faces at yourself in the mirror. It also could be fun to politely reply to rudeness or insult with vicious imprecations in a sweet-sounding foreign language (French is good for this). Don’t practice kicking your own ass this week, nor implicating yourself in plots you’re innocent of, just because they sound cool. Your sense of fairness is as out of tune as an abandoned piano, and missing quite a

few notes. My prescription to help you play in key? Choose one: A. Long, deep, soul kisses, if they’re available. B. An intimate dinner, cooked by you, for all your closest friends. C. A good, hard, cleansing cry—followed by a huge helping of your favorite dessert. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Reflect on the oyster, that underrated and overexploited little mollusk. They have to evade and resist prying fingers and hungry mouths eager to pluck them out of their protective shells and slurp them down, raw. (Blech.) If they avoid this gruesome fate, they’ve still got to cope with the bits and bobs that end up inside their shells and irritate their tender flesh. The bad news: you feel a lot like these underrated creatures lately. The good news: your constant worrying and fretting about your past—every careless word, remembered failure and missed chance— will yield results. You ought to be able to permanently expel a few of those irritants, and they won’t be as ugly or anticlimactic as gallstones or eye gunk. Nope. This week, you’re spitting pearls. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) When I close a really good book, I often feel emotionally shipwrecked. I’m not usually responding to any specific events in the novel. It’s just that finally leaving characters and their absorbing reality is almost like being abandoned on a deserted island, or perhaps being returned to civilization after a long, lonely stay on one. It’s a mixture of relief and loss, similar to how one might react to the death of someone who’s suffered a prolonged, painful illness. This week you might experience a
strange blend of emotions that aren’t necessarily comfortable sleeping next to each other. Then again, you’ve had some pretty odd bedfellows yourself. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Last night I dreamt I was invited to a New Year’s party. Shit, I thought to myself, autumn really flew by! Seemed like it was still summer yesterday, and we still had a few months to go! Luckily, several people had pulled together a fabulous outfit for me (it was a costume party) and taken care of every detail of my attendance. When I woke up, I thought of you— will people still be taking care of your shit (including the fun you have) come 2013? I’m worried you’re not determined enough to actually get it together. Luckily, you have a few months to prove me wrong. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) We’re all in love with that legend-inyour-own-time image you’ve cultivated around yourself, that of the swashbuckling hero, the rebellious philosopher, the truthseeking activist. The only problem is: those are all relatively lonely positions. Sure, the lonesome cowboy/girl might have a part-time trusty sidekick, but that doesn’t do much to foster a sense of community, does it? What can you do to change this solitary destiny? Engage others, of course! Easier said than done, but this week, concentrate on how someone of your unique talents and status might bring people together, instead of just impressing/ intimidating them. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) You’re capable of accomplishing just as much as your fellow Earth signs, though your methods differ. Virgo flits constantly
from duty to duty, as quick and nervous as a hummingbird. Capricorn executes tasks as calmly and efficiently as a robot. You take longer to get going. Like your animal symbol, the bull, you know all too well the pleasures of relaxing in the shade of a cork tree and chewing your cud. But once in motion, you’re nearly impossible to stop. Since the obligations of the weeks ahead aren’t going to complete themselves, you might want to start stretching your legs and sharpening your horns: it’s almost time for a full-on charge. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) This is a good week to start growing a ’fro that requires you to duck to pass through doorways, or to wear padded underwear or shoes three sizes too large. Heck, put on one of those adorable Sumo wrestler fat suits. Anything that helps you to take up more space than you’re accustomed to would be good. I perceive that your achievements have been limited and compromised—not by your ability or efficiency, but by not giving yourself enough room to move. This week, get used to taking the space you need to do what you’ve got to do. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) The world isn’t always such a comfortable place. Your feet ache from standing in lines, your ass is punished by hard plastic seats, and noise pollution violates your thoughts. That’s why it’s so easy to understand and appreciate your powerful nesting instinct, your inordinate fondness for an abundance of pillows, thick, terry cloth bathrobes, hot bubble baths, good food, mellow wine and tender romance. You’re just trying to make a few soft places in a sometimes hard, angular and imposing world. This week, you’re likely to miss the cozy nooks you’ve created for yourself— but not that much, as you’ll be busy discovering and enjoying some of the sweet comfort zones made by other homebodies like you.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) You’re back-to-back with your fiercest opponent. According to good ol’ Western tradition, you’re both supposed to walk 10 paces in opposite directions, turn and shoot. Fastest draw wins. I know you’re not excited that things have gotten this extreme, but you’ve also never been great at that cheesy movie banter that extricates our Hollywood heroes from situations like this. Bad humor isn’t your strong suit, fortunately for the rest of us. It never works in real life anyway. So how can you defuse the situation? Try swallowing your pride. It should go down easier than any bullet, either literal or figurative. W
