We can personally attest to the impact delicious sushi can have on guest as Chef Roberto recently drove from San Diego to Dick Clark Productions, in Santa Monica, to personally oversee Hollywood Weekly’s annual Christmas party. Chef Roberto creates these one of a kind Sushi Cake pieces of art comprised completely of a wide variety of sushi rolls, the freshest fish and seasoned sushi rice. These “Sushi Cakes” are a huge hit at birthday parties, and anniversaries. We highly recommend “Sushi on a Roll” for everyone!

hat do you get when you cross a speakeasy with a caterer? Sushi on a Roll also known by that affectionate four letter word, SOAR, and the only San Diego specialty dining venue you’ll come to swear by! The brainchild of Chef Jeff Roberto, this unique outpost will fete its 24th anniversary this February with a celebratory cake composed of none other than, you guessed it, sushi! And while the west coast is renowned for its ardor for this tasty Japanese import, only this gifted culinary artist presides at the one that is not even an actual restaurant but a wholesale venture. Sushi On A Roll has garnered such a devoted local following that its delicacies aren’t advertised, no street signage exists, and its doors are open to the public only one day a week. Residents flock to this capacious, yet intimate, hidden gem from the glowing recommendations of their most valued friends who have raved about not only the freshest, most toothsome creations

Chef can make them any size for any party. These Sushi Cakes are a huge hit at birthday parties, anniversaries.
but also rhapsodized about the outstanding presentation and ambience. Even the competition lionizes amiable Chef Jeff as he counts 50 other area sushi chefs as cronies. Consider yourself privileged to be invited to a wine tasting and sit with 31 congenial attendees at this spacious dining bar. Or maybe you would like to treat yourself to learning this ancient art in a class sometimes at the picturesque hacienda and patio at The Prado at Balboa Park but also on the premises. Reinvent as a sushi chef to your inner circle should you so desire! Mr. Roberto has over a decade’s experience teaching at culinary schools and his students know all the proper etiquette and would never dream of mingling wasabi with their soy sauce. And if you are looking for a novel holiday choice, look no farther as Chef Jeff will let you enjoy the occasion by doing everything - setting up, cooking, cleaning up, and even arranging the décor. What a stress free way to make the season special and for the first time ever you may be a true celebrant, not the harried host or hostess. With 800 events in merely 14 years to their credit, they may be the most prolific and under recognized “top chefs” around. But long overdue tribute ultimately occurred at this year’s San Diego Bay Wine and Food Festival, the preeminent city showcasing, when the organizers acknowledged his achievement and conferred the prestigious Epicurean Award. Mr. Roberto named his now sought after service with a nod to his former ambition to become a pilot. And while he may not be on an aeronautical roll, Jeff ’s surging popularity shows no signs of slowing down. You may expect the Latino Film Industry Post Oscar party to be catered with traditional Hispanic fare but Chef Jeff was the toque of choice. And this well-liked culinary hero isn’t above rolling up his very own sleeves for a worthy cause. This past May he hosted “Barrio On A Roll,” a benefit for Huntington’s Disease that proved to a delightful, fun, free, family event which included a sushi rolling marathon, complimentary beer, food trucks, and a performance by the hot band Tribal Theory. Six chefs participated including Jeff ’s nephews, Austin and Bradley Roberto, to craft an astounding 12,000 8 HOLLYWOOD WEEKLY

pieces in 8 hours. The SOAR contingent rode and donated proceeds to Race Across America (a comprehensive junket from Oceanside, California to Baltimore, Maryland) and their intrepid cyclists finished in a week with Chef Jeff ’s girl friend and managing partner, the lovely Lorna Ramos and Lee J. Razalan, spearheading the event. What do you get when you cross comic books and the Hard Rock Hotel? The San Diego Comic Con at the Convention Center last July with fistic legend, Iron Mike, lending a hand to the SOAR team. But philanthropy, star-studded gatherings, and charisma are just part of this impressive chef ’s social profile. Yakitori’s Japanese sushi chefs mentored the young Roberto and his junior high school buddy and the

Chef Jeff whose talented digits rubbed elbows with various luminaries at their premieres Angelina Jolie (Beowulf), Jim Carey (How the Grinch Stole Christmas) , Jamie Fox (Stealth), and the Men In Black crew. This master’s nimble fingers have fed many bold face names at numerous galas including those hosted by the MTV Movie Awards, Comedy Central Awards, and Teen Choice Awards. The SOAR talents visited the set of the Titanic twelve times during filming! Thespians Orlando Bloom and Elizabeth Towne flew this pro to Kentucky for their gatherings and the capstone of this dazzling career may be his induction into the venerable San Diego Baillaige as a Board Member of the revered Chaine des Rotisseurs,”the oldest and most recognized food and wine group in the world.” Even corporate behemoths know who to call for the most distinctive and appetizing fare and high-profile clients such as Mars Candy, Google, NETGEAR, Illumina, Lily USA are regulars.
then manager, Ben Herrera, to gravitate to sushi catering. Collaborating with “hungry” classmates, Michael Ryes, Big Mike Ferrer, and John Sainz, the dynamic, quadruple force of nature launched. Back in the 80’s only 7 sushi bars dotted San Diego compared to 200 today. This buddy system was formative to the creation of 12 area restaurants where they honed their superb skills and established their following before landing a gig at Seaforth Sportfishing. Trusted friend, owner, and then mentor, Frank LoPreste had such faith in this quartet that he lent the use of his galley for a sushi bar. Merely 4 months later, this fledgling venture metamorphosed into a world class operation with luxury hotel clients such as the Sheraton Harbor Island Hotel, Hotel Del Coronado, Hyatt Grand Manchester and venues as encompassing as SeaWorld and the Super Bowl (generating an Olympian 55,000 pieces to their credit!). Studios such as SONY, LA, FOX were crucial to the meteoric rise of
As your mouth waters, you may want to think about supping on this sublime but very affordable sushi which treats the hoi polloi and beautiful people with equal aplomb. Laud this remarkable caterer who is up for almost any challenge as when he served 43,000 pieces for a Qualcomm gathering! Imagine a staggering 16,000 guests have enjoyed this sumptuous and savory fare since SOAR’s inception! If your party is a maximum of 80 persons, you will be treated to a repast that those fortunate enough to attend, will long remember. And since Chef Jeff is not one to rest on his Nori, he would now like you to try his latest offerings, the scrumptious SOAR boy, an improvised sushi grinder, and a Tex-Mex variant, the sushi burrito. From movie stars to California matrons, pugilists to lesser known patrons, all diners get the Red Carpet treatment, so why wait for a special occasion for an indulgence that will make any milestone that much more memorable? San Diego’s word of mouth to lucky yours!

A good example to younger women, she is a loving mother and wife, which is an attribute to be admired. HOLLYWOOD WEEKLY 13

Look Your Best This Holiday Season
Whether you’re driving home for the Holidays to see family, or heading out to glitzy parties to see old friends over the festive period, no doubt you’ll want to look your best. With these top seven Holiday beauty tips you’ll be looking gorgeous for those under-the-mistletoe moments.
Tired Eyes All those nights partying to Mariah Carey and Wham! is bound to leave even young eyes looking tired. To make sure you stay looking bright and alert over the Holidays. Give yourself a little eye massage to get rid of puffy eyes. Begin at the corner of one of your eyes and work your way up, between your brow bone and your eye, rubbing as you go until you reach the outer edge of your eye. Repeat along your lower lash line. A go to product that brightens, and softens the look of aging eyes is BENEV GF Eye Gel, this product uses growth factor technology. Also, be careful about where you apply your blusher as applying it too high can make you look tired.
Flat Stomach For most of us, a flat, washboard stomach is like the elixir of life – a distant, priceless dream that will never become a reality. Yet we have a few tricks that might make that flat tummy achievable. Firstly, try taking 26 HOLLYWOOD WEEKLY
peppermint capsules or aloe vera juice. Each do a fantastic job in supporting the digestive system and both can help you achieve a flat stomach by preventing bloating. So that you can look amazing in your Holiday outfit, you can also cut out certain foods that can cause excessive gas and bloating. Try to limit things that contain refined sugar, or fermented products like cheese and alcohol.
Have A Great Time We’re about to reveal one of the best beauty Holiday tips of all time, so sit comfortably and listen up. Here it is: enjoy yourself. It sounds so simple, but whatever you’re up to this Holiday Season, make sure you spend time with people you like and spend at least some time with people who make you feel good about yourself. Having a great time is the perfect beauty treatment because when you’re having a great time it shows: your skin glows, your eyes brighten and everyone in the room will be sure to notice.
Glittery Lips Nothing says the Holidays like glitter, and slathering some sparkly goodness on your pout will definitely bring you some Christmas cheer this year. To master the look, line your lips with a light colored lip pencil and add foundation to the corners of your mouth. Then apply a creamy lipstick using a lip brush before using a flat brush to add on your glitter. You can finish with a gloss. The one thing to bear in mind if you’re considering having glittery lips for a Christmas do is that drinking, eating and kissing may be off limits; so weigh up your priorities before donning a glitter pout.
Simple Up ‘Do The Holidays are such a frantic time that it can be difficult to find the energy to fuss over hair styles. Yet if you want to look fantastic then one of the best beauty tips you can master is the art of simple hairdos. If you want to put your hair up, try twisting one section from the front of your hair; once twisted pin into place at the back of your head. Repeat with the other side. Then take the remainder of your hair and tie a messy bun. This look is elegant, simple and more importantly quick.
Combat Alcohol Although you may like sipping a tasty mojito or cosmopolitan, your skin doesn’t. Alcohol dehydrates you and can leave your skin dry, grey and dull. To make sure your skin glows despite the endless flow of alcohol over the festive period your typical moisturizer won’t be enough. Instead invest in BENEV Hyaluronic Cream which contains you guessed it Hyaluronic Acid. This cream Intensely hydrates, softens, and soothes skin to promote a more youthful, supple appearance without a greasy feel.
Party Make-Up Party make-up has to be right if you want to look good, but your skin needs to be on point if you want to really glow. Appling BENEV GF Hydrogel Moisturizing Mask will really get you soaked up in moisture. This super hydrating gel mask designed to calm skin and rebalance the moisture barrier while delivering potent skin nutrients. HOLLYWOOD WEEKLY 27

CAPITOL RECORDS TO LAUNCH YEAR-LONG 75TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION • Los Angeles City Council to proclaim November 15 Capitol Records Day in the city • Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to unveil Capitol Records Walk of Fame Star of Recognition • Official account of company - 75 Years Of Capitol Records - to be published by TASCHEN • Partnerships with Crate and Barrel and American Airlines highlight extended reach to music fans The year-long celebration will commence on Tuesday, November 15 when Capitol becomes the first record company to receive a star of recognition from the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which will be installed in front of the landmark Capitol Tower and adjacent to the internationally-renowned Hollywood Walk of Fame. At the star’s unveiling, the State the Los Angeles City Council will present Capitol with a resolution declaring November 15 Capitol Records Day in the city. Beginning that evening, the spire on top of the Capitol Tower that has always emitted “Hollywood” in Morse code will change to “Capitol 75,” and will continue to flash in that manner for the next 12 months. THE CAPITOL RECORDS 75TH ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION – VINYL REISSUE PROGRAM To select 75 albums that represent the best of Capitol Records from among literally thousands of works the company has released over the past 75 years, the label convened an advisory board of noted music journalists, authors and renowned creative figures to decide on the final list of albums that comprise The Capitol Records 75th Anniversary Collection. The result spans myriad Capitol eras and musical genres, and includes best sellers, influential works and lesser-known gems (see below). The reissue program begins this month, and titles will be available through music retailers throughout 2017.
THE CAPITOL RECORDS BUILDING The Capitol Records Building, also known as the Capitol Records Tower, is a Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District building that is located in Hollywood, Los Angeles. The building is a thirteen-story tower that was designed by Welton Becket and is one of the city’s landmarks. [4] Construction occurred soon after British company EMI acquired Capitol Records in 1955, and was completed in April 1956. Located just north of the Hollywood and Vine intersection, the Capitol Records Tower houses the consolidation of Capitol Records’ West Coast operations and is also home to the recording studios and echo chambers of Capitol Studios. The building is a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument. The building houses the Capitol Studios, a recording facility which includes eight echo chambers engineered by guitarist Les Paul and three main studios, A, B, and C. Frank Sinatra had a close association with the studios, and the Georg Neumann U 47 microphone that he carried around with him is housed there, and is used and maintained regularly for studio sessions. The first album recorded in the tower was Frank Sinatra Conducts Tone Poems of Color. In 2012, Studio A received a brand new AMS Neve 88R mixing console, and was designed and built for Al Schmitt and Paul McCartney.
75 YEARS OF CAPITOL RECORDS – TASCHEN RELEASE IN DECEMBER To commemorate Capitol’s extraordinary history of recorded music, TASCHEN is publishing the official account of Capitol Records from its founding year of 1942 through to today. To be released December 15, 75 Years of Capitol Records follows the label’s evolution and the making of some of the greatest music of the 20th and 21st centuries. The book includes hundreds of images from Capitol’s extensive archives, as well as a foreword by Beck and essays by cultural historians and music and architecture critics. This photographic and musical history includes the label’s most commercially successful, creative and important artists whose work has defined Capitol Records, music and popular culture for the past eight decades. 75 Years of Capitol Records is also available at Capitol’s online store.

LET’S TALK ABOUT
EPIGENETICS BY DR. CHERILYN LEE
I
f you google the question, “What is epigenetics,” the first thing google will show you is how to pronounce it, the fact that it’s a noun related to biology, and that it’s “the study of changes in organisms caused by modification of gene expression rather than alteration of the genetic code itself.” Sounds simple enough, but what does that mean?
CHERILYN LEE, R.N., NP, PH.D. Dr. Lee completed her training as a Registered Nurse from Southwest Community College in Los Angeles, California. She graduated as a Physician Assistant from Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Sciences in Los Angeles, California and later became a Board Certified Nurse Practitioner. She received a Ph.D. in Holistic Nutrition from Clayton School of Natural Health in Birmingham, Alabama and is certified in Energy Medicine and is a Certified Natural Healthcare Professional.
Conrad H. Waddington coined the term epigenetics in 1942, making epigenetics is a relatively new concept in our quest for better health. When Waddington coined the term, the physical nature of genes and their role in heredity was not yet known; he was ahead of his time in postulating how genes might interact with their surroundings to produce a phenotype. Bruce Lipton, PhD, is a pioneer in epigenetics – the concept that our genes are not fixed, that they turn on and off. Epigenetics refers to changing phenotype (outward manifestation) without changing genotype, and it doesn’t necessarily require any fancy surgical intervention or complicated medical treatments. Epigenetic modifications don’t change the DNA sequence; they affect how cells “read” genes (Epigenetics: Definition & Examples by Rachael Rettner. http://www.livescience.com/37703-epigenetics. html) The Greek prefix epi- in epigenetics implies features that are “on top of ” or “in addition to” genetics; thus epigenetic traits exist on top of or in addition to the traditional molecular basis for inheritance. (http://pharmacistben. com/video/ben-fuchs-dr-joel-wallach-inter view/) Research is demystifying epigenetics as it relates to our health. For holistic health practitioners, “epigenetics” is basically giving a name to the type of care and guidance we’ve been giving their clients virtually all along. There’s a lot of complicated scientific information explaining epigenetics, but I’ll keep it simple in this article. We all have genetic codes. What we now know is that there are epigenetic codes that influence genetic codes more active or inactive. It’s difficult to alter genes themselves, but we can alter epigenes to control the activeness of genes.

“What Is Epigenetics” (http://www.whatisepigenetics. com/fundamentals/) discusses clinical applications of epigenetics as relates to various cancers, mental retardation disorders, immune processes and disorders such as lupus-like autoimmunity and arthritis, neuropsychiatric disorders, and pediatric syndromes. Examples of epigenetics at work in people are found in the topic overview “Special Topic: Epigenetics: 20 Years and Rising” by Jeremy Cherfas (http://sciencewatch.com/ articles/special-topic-epigenetics) We need epigenetics to explain, for example, that of two genetically identical twins, one may suffer autism or schizophrenia while the other does not. Much of epigenetic research has focused on cancer, but in recent years this research has expanded to behavioral or psychiatric manifestations of epigenetic influence passing through generations. For example, children of malnourished mothers faced with limited food in later life seem to do okay. Those who have an abundance of food develop cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Epigenetic control is thus adaptive. (P.D. Gluckman, et al., “Epigenetic mechanisms that underpin metabolic and cardiovascular diseases,” Nature Reviews Endocrinology, 5(7): 401-8, 2009.) A review by Anura Hewagama and Bruce Richardson, of the University of Michigan, investigates the ways in which environmental factors interact with specific predisposing genetic elements to trigger diseases such as lupus, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis (A. Hewagama, et al., “The genetics and epigenetics of autoimmune diseases,” Journal of Autoimmunity, 33[1]: 3–11, 2009; 92 citations.) The November 2006 issue of Discover Magazine ran the article “DNA Is Not Destiny: The New Science of Epigenetics” by Ethan Watters in which an experiment was discussed involving laboratory agouti mice that, with no more than a change in diet, were prompted to give birth to young that were strikingly different in appearance and susceptibility to disease. Usually when agouti mice breed, most of the offspring are identical to the parents. The parent mice in Jirtle and Waterland’s experiment—yellow, fat, and susceptible to life-shortening disease—produced a majority of offspring that looked altogether different. These young mice were slender and mousy brown, and they did not display their parents’ susceptibility to cancer and diabetes, living to a spry old age. The effects of the agouti gene had been virtually erased. Remarkably, this transformation was achieved without altering a single letter of the mouse’s DNA. They merely changed the moms’ diet. Starting just before conception, Jirtle and Waterland fed a test group of mother mice a diet rich in methyl donors, small chemical clusters that can attach to a gene and turn it off. These
molecules are common in the environment and are found in many foods, including onions, garlic, beets, and in the food supplements often given to pregnant women. After being consumed by the mothers, the methyl donors worked their way into the developing embryos’ chromosomes and onto the critical agouti gene. The mothers passed along the agouti gene to their children intact, but thanks to their methyl-rich pregnancy diet, they had added to the gene a chemical switch that dimmed the gene’s deleterious effects. “It was a little eerie and a little scary to see how something as subtle as a nutritional change in the pregnant mother rat could have such a dramatic impact on the gene expression of the baby,” Jirtle says. “The results showed how important epigenetic changes could be.” What’s eyeopening is a growing body of evidence suggesting that the epigenetic changes wrought by one’s diet, behavior, or surroundings can work their way into the germ line and echo far into the future. Put simply, and as bizarre as it may sound, what you eat or smoke today could affect the health and behavior of your great-grandchildren. Recent research has made it increasingly clear that for all the popular attention devoted to genome-sequencing projects, the epigenome is just as critical as DNA to the healthy development of organisms, humans included. Jirtle and Waterland’s experiment was a benchmark demonstration that the epigenome is sensitive to cues from the environment. More and more, researchers are finding that an extra bit of a vitamin, a brief exposure to a toxin, even an added dose of mothering can tweak the epigenome—and thereby alter the software of our genes—in ways that affect an individual’s body and brain for life. According to Jirtle, “Before, genes predetermined outcomes. Now everything we do—everything we eat or smoke—can affect our gene expression and that of future generations. Epigenetics introduces the concept of free will into our idea of genetics.”
concerns by promoting better gene expression. Acting on this information can help you improve your own health and even the health of your children and grandchildren. Just a very basic awareness of epigenetics is valuable to helping us understand the importance of making good choices about what we consume and how we minimize stress in our lives. Are research results like the Jirtle and Waterland mice results relevant to human health? Well, mice are mammals, humans are mammals, so—yes. The good news is that what you do that’s healthy for yourself, you’re doing for your children, your grandchildren, your greatgrandchildren, and maybe even generations beyond. Isn’t it great to know that genetics does not have to be your destiny!

PEOPLE HELPING I
n today’s day and age not everyone understands the benefits of life insurance. However, the team at People Helping People (PHP), not only provides excellent service but strives to educate individuals over the importance of what happens when your ‘curtain calls’.

changing cultural business environment. PHP is a Financial Marketing Organization that markets the top insurance and financial companies.
PEOPLE:

With a passion in life to see people win. PHP positions people to win -- to win in life, win in their legacy, and most importantly win for their “curtain call”.
