Gut instincts: Rochester’s food challenges For some people, food is just that: food. Fuel — ideally tasty fuel — that keeps the body plugging along. But for an increasing segment of the population, food and eating have become something else: a challenge. Another arena in which to test who is the top dog, leader of the pack, or king of the hill. Competitive eating continues to grow in popularity with events televised on ESPN, internationally known melees like the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, and the Travel Channel’s hit show “Man Vs. Food,” which recently had a

Rochester-based episode that shined a spotlight on culinary creations right in our backyard.

Rochester is a great place to put competitiveeating talents to the test. Over the past month or so City’s Willie Clark attempted five Rochester-based food challenges, eating across different flavors, foods, and feats. Inside find his tales of digestive woe. If we missed a local food challenge, let us know about it by making a comment on this article at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

School article needed balance

As authors of CGR’s report on new schools in the Rochester City School District, we’d like to thank City Newspaper and Tim Macaluso for a generally balanced and accurate article (“Rochester’s New Schools,” November 9).

The one area we felt was perhaps not fully reflective of our work was the section on expectations observed in classrooms. While it’s true we saw low-level expectations and work in some classes, we also saw very high-level classes, as reflected in the full paragraph of our report: “In sitting in on classes, CGR saw what we felt was a wide range of expectations for students, sometimes even within the same school. At the high end of the spectrum were classes where students were asked to do challenging work requiring higher level skills such as making judgments, supporting arguments, identifying trends, and where students were encouraged to take chances and held accountable for their answers. At the low end, we saw classes where students were allowed not to work, answers were freely given to students if they raised their hands, work was very low-level and little or no responsibility for learning was placed upon students. And there were many classes in between the two extremes.”

(For the full report, visit www.cgr.org.)

For CGR, it’s critical to reflect the whole picture, because we want schools to continue to be open to the kind of observation and feedback that helps drive growth and improvement, as the leaders and staff of these five new schools were. The need to encour City

age models of supportive, helpful observation and feedback on classroom/ school practices is especially critical given the current climate around evaluation and accountability.

Occupy our sidewalks!

The Occupy movement in Rochester and worldwide has been an inspiration and a long-overdue injection of reality into our national conversation.

So perhaps the issue I bring up is in comparison petty, but could we start a conversation about the increasingly contemptible way that Rochester’s pedestrians are treated?

It was bad enough when it was decided that we need to get bus patrons off the streets where “respectable folks” don’t have to look at them. But increasingly, Rochester pedestrians are denied access to public sidewalks on some of our busiest thoroughfares, sometimes for years at a time, presumably in the name of economic development.

At the construction site at Monroe and Alexander, project management decided it was enough, after several years of taking over the public thoroughfare, to pour maybe 20 square feet of walkway per day, and of course this only on days with good weather. So we were treated to several additional months of sidewalk blockage.

On Chestnut Street, between the ESL project and replacement of the sidewalk in front of the Strong Museum, the sidewalk was blocked off on both sides of the street simultaneously. And now in front of the City Center building on Woodbury, the construction crew has decided they need to use the public sidewalk as a parking lot for their personal vehicles. And how many years do you suppose

NOVEMBER 16-22, 2011

pedestrians will be denied use of the south side of Main Street at the former Midtown site? Our Main Street, mind you, is inaccessible to pedestrians.

Nowhere else in my experience are construction projects allowed to take over the sidewalk without providing an alternative.

No city worthy of the designation “city” should allow such abuse of pedestrians, much less make a habit of it.

Whose streets? OUR streets! Whose sidewalks?

OUR sidewalks!

CHARLOTTE BALTUS, ROCHESTER

On Occupy and our coverage

The economic model is cracking around the world as the public begins to comprehend that in this extreme profits-to-the-top model, there can never be enough jobs for everyone.

The most educated generation in Greece cannot find real employment; similar conditions are the real cause of the unrest in the Middle East. The problem is not going away, and even Americans raised in the free-enterprise environment of the US are starting to have doubts about how the next generation can attain the benefits of the middle class, much less the American Dream.

VINCENT LATUCCA

The Tea Party started under Republican President GW Bush and continued under Obama as he doubled and tripled down on the initial Bailouts. It was not a “right wing” movement. It was a common-sense movement that was blasted by many of the people who are now out “occupying.” The Tea Party at least had the common sense to protest while it was taking place.

RICH TYSON

America used to work.

The people had work. The system worked. It was far from perfect — but at least we all had some share in the struggles and the

rewards. Now we have an economy and a political system that works only for the rich. We need to get back to what America was, and what it should be, and what it can be.

Occupy Wall Street is no longer just a place called Zuccotti Park — Zuccotti Park is everywhere. You can try to pen us in, you can beat us and arrest us, you can mace and tear-gas us, and you can try to “permit” us to death, but you can’t kill an idea. You can’t keep down people’s hopes and dreams for a better life, a life with dignity and freedom… for us... for our kids. More power to Occupy Wall Street, as it spreads to every town and city — because OWS is us, and for us, and by us. It’s time to choose, and to act.

If not now, then when? If not you, then….

STAN CHAZ

If you think the Republicans are the problem, you’re right. If you think the Democrats are the problem, you’re right. If you think the 1% is the problem, you’re right, and if you think the 47% is the problem, you’re right.

If you think the corporations or the unions are the problem, you’re right. If you blame Bush or Obama, you’re right.

If you put the blame squarely on the shoulders of the Republicans or the Democrats or the rich or the poor or one administration or the other — you’re WRONG. The problem with this country are those who blindly align themselves with a political party and refuse to see the wrongs both parties are committing. Which is one of the reasons I will never take this opinion paper or its “journalists” seriously.

Comparing the “Occupiers” to prior movements like civil rights and women’s suffrage seems to be a huge if not completely fictionalized stretch. These are largely kids of the trophy generation who are lost, and if their movement had any kind of intellectual depth they would be outside the colleges that they didn’t get an employable education from, or the politicians’ offices who have sold themselves out to unions and other entities that hurt the economy. It is one thing to say there’s a problem. It is completely another to put in the effort to address the source of it.

PEKING HUMONCULOUS

MIKE ABRAHAM

Some people write that they support the idea or motivation of the protests, but that the way they are carried out is unappealing or ineffective. Why don’t you get up off your couch and show us how it’s done, then? The protesters maybe mostly weirdos, but at least they’re doing something!

Why is it that the greed and waste in our schools systems and local government is protected greed? Greece has three assistant superintendents making over $150k a year, which means they will retire with $100k annual pension. Why do our parttime elected officials even get a pension? Where are the signs in your movement against greed of our public employee and political class?

MANNY COLFAX

The Occupy Movement “must succeed”? I have no idea how to define “success” in this context. This is not to trivialize the fact that we Americans have massive problems. And while reasonable men and women can dispute what those problems are, simply throwing around a bunch of slogans and shooting in the dark is not acceptable as an end unto itself. If you want me to participate in your journey, tell me how I’ll know that we’ve successfully reached our goal.

urban journal | by mary anna towler

We’re on our own Rochester finally got a bit of good news on Monday, with the announcement that Windstream will maintain some of the Paetec operations in the Rochester area. And it will bring a few hundred employees downtown, renting part of a reconstructed building on the Midtown site.

But note this: the 300 or so Windstream employees who will work downtown aren’t new additions to the region’s workforce. The city is stealing them from Perinton.

Sadly, this is the way things are done in the Community of Monroe. And government encourages it, giving tax breaks to companies that simply move from one place in the county to another.

We’re all on our own, each of the county’s 19 towns, nine villages, one townvillage, and the city doing battle with one another, competing for population, for tax base, for development.

So the city has to play this game. It’s that or die. But while we celebrate our partial victory over Perinton, and while city officials look for new prospects, let me repeat my sermon: City Hall ought to be equally involved in helping create a school district that is a regional magnet for families. In the long run, that would do more to improve downtown and boost the city’s tax base than a slew of Windstream developments.

This isn’t something that can happen overnight — and the school district can’t do it by itself. The mayor and City Council have to make it a top priority. They’ll have to stop pointing fingers at district officials and join them as partners. And they’ll have to commit time and energy to this effort.

Yes, we have to improve all of the schools, for the sake of the students who are there now. And as I’ve said too many times to count, that requires dealing with the city’s concentrated poverty problem — something else that the district can’t handle by itself.

But we also have to attract families who currently won’t consider sending their children to city schools.

I won’t pretend that I can spell out how to go about this. But I think I can come up with some ingredients. For instance, we might start by expanding our offerings for high-achieving students. We should also strengthen the programs at the unique schools we now have: SOTA, World of Inquiry, and Wilson International Baccalaureate, for instance. We’ll need extensive outreach to city families who send their children to private and parochial schools. (And it wouldn’t hurt to do that kind of outreach right now for schools that

Strong schools would do more to improve downtown and boost the city’s tax base than a slew of Windstream developments. are doing well but aren’t attracting all of the children in their neighborhoods.)

And I continue to think that one of the most important things we can do is to create city-based urban-suburban schools operated in conjunction with several area colleges and universities. The mayor and City Council should join with schooldistrict leaders to push this.

Should these be general-study schools or specialty schools like School of the Arts?

Charter schools or non-charters? I don’t know. But one or two at a time, Rochester must create schools that attract the families who have left city schools in droves. And this should be a community-wide effort — funded by the district, yes, but with outreach help and enthusiastic leadership from the mayor, City Councilmembers, and neighborhood groups.

It’s not impossible to create schools that parents clamor to enroll their children in.

Rochester has done it before. It’s time to tear down the wall between City Hall and the school district. The city’s children deserve nothing less. And frankly, this would be the best economic-development plan around.

Transit center contract awarded

The Board of Commissioners of the Rochester Genesee Regional Transportation Authority voted unanimously to award the contract to design and build the Mortimer Street bus station to the Rochester firm, the Pike Company. Construction on the $49-million facility is scheduled to begin in May 2012, and be completed in the spring of 2014.

One festival ends, another struggles The 360|365 film festival is having trouble getting funding, and the Rochester Harbor and Carousel Festival has been discontinued. The Harbor Festival was started to promote a recreational and economic resurgence in Charlotte, and officials say that’s happening. As far as 360|365, officials say that if it doesn’t get $200,000 in guaranteed funding by November 30, the 2012 festival will be canceled.

Washington Square Park is Occupied

DEVELOPMENT | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

Occupy Rochester and Mayor Tom Richards came to an agreement to allow a 24-hour encampment at Washington Square Park. The deal was brokered by the New York Civil Liberties Union, and requires Occupiers to keep their tents on the south side of the park.

Midtown meltdown avoided, mayor says

Demolition for Genesee Brewery building?

A new visitor center for Genesee Brewing Company could result in the demolition of a 110-year-old building at 13 Cataract Street at the east end of the pedestrian bridge at High Falls.

The stately building is often admired for its gables and arched windows. The company owns the building, but the city would have to approve plans to develop the site, which would include demolition of the existing building.

The announcement that Windstream will lease space downtown is a psychological boost for the city, even though the company won’t employ as many people there as Paetec planned.

Photo by MATT DETURCK

The Windstream telecommunications company will lease space in downtown Rochester after all, although it will bring fewer jobs than planned under Paetec.

The Midtown site downtown is being cleared for what was supposed to be Paetec’s new world headquarters. But Windstream, which is headquartered in Arkansas, announced recently that it would buy Paetec, casting doubt on the downtown project.

But Mayor Tom Richards said Windstream will sign a 15-year lease for a 67,000-square-foot space at Midtown. Windstream will occupy about two-thirds of the rebuilt, three-story Seneca Building, and Windstream CEO Jeffrey Gardner said no fewer than 335 employees will work there. Paetec was supposed to employ about 1,000 people downtown. Windstream will keep Paetec’s office in Perinton, although staffing levels at either site haven’t been determined.

Bret Garwood, the city’s director of business and housing development,

said Windstream will seek a tax abatement through the County of Monroe Industrial Development Agency. Windstream would pay $3 per square foot of its space downtown, Garwood said, for every year of its 15year lease. He said it adds up to a less than 50 percent total abatement.

The total project is $18.3 million.

Windstream’s office will be constructed and owned by the Pike Company, of Rochester. Pike will be aided by a $5 million federal loan, and a $1.7 million grant from the city. A $1.2 million state grant won by Paetec will also be used for the project.

Windstream has signed an agreement with the city — which must be approved by City Council — to go forward with the project, and will next sign a lease with Pike. If something unexpected were to happen with the Midtown deal, Garwood said, according to its agreement with the city, Windstream would have to find alternate space downtown capable of accommodating 335 employees.

Competition time for Regional Council’s plan

The Bop won’t stop

The final plan also includes a performance measurement that wasn’t in the initial drafts.

The measurement was suggested by council cochair Danny Wegman.

The net advocacy score, which Wegmans uses in Joel Seligman. its operations, is based on FILE PHOTO residents’ and businesses’ satisfaction with the region, Wegman said during the council’s public session last week. It’s simply asking people and businesses whether they’d recommend the area to someone else, he said. Seligman said it’s a useful indicator that can be tracked year-to-year.

For the most part, however, the plan retains the same priorities and plans laid out in previous drafts. It emphasizes the region’s high-tech industry clusters, health-care sector, and tourism resources. It also emphasizes projects that would promote academic-industry partnerships. For example, it lists expanding RIT’s Golisano Institute for Sustainability as a key project.

The institute researches ways to make products, manufacturing, energy production, transportation, and buildings more sustainable.

4,483 US servicemen and servicewomen, 318 Coalition servicemen and servicewomen, and approximately 103,472 to 113,052 Iraqi civilians have been killed in Iraq from the beginning of the war and occupation to November 11.

No American casualties were reported after October 25.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE

The Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council has sent its strategic plan off to state officials.

Now it’s up to a review committee to decide whether the Finger Lakes council will be one of the four to get $40 million in economic-development incentives, or whether it will be one of six councils to split $40 million in incentives. Local council leaders expect a decision in December.

The Finger Lakes plan emphasizes projects that would create an estimated 7,000 new jobs and draw on more than $1 billion in private financing, says information provided by the council. The projects are across nine counties: Monroe, Genesee, Livingston, Orleans, Ontario, Seneca, Wayne, Wyoming, and Yates.

The final plan has some changes from the initial drafts. Among them: stressing the maintenance and expansion of Eastman Business Park. The facility is a pivotal economic development resource, the council says, and will be especially valuable for advancing several key clean tech and alternative energy projects.

We wanted to highlight that we view Eastman Business Park as a comparative advantage,” says Joel Seligman, council cochair and University of Rochester president.

POLITICS | BY JEREMY MOULE ILLUSTRATION BY MAX SEIFERT

What’s next for Monroe Democrats?

Monroe County Democrats had a tough election season: they lost the county executive race as well as two seats in the County Legislature.

Democrats have struggled in most countywide races since they lost the Lej in the 1990’s. They had a decent shot at gaining ground this year, with Brighton Supervisor Sandy Frankel at the top of the ticket — opposing Maggie Brooks for county executive. And Democrats had plenty of ammunition, thanks to Brooks administration scandals.

But after the votes were counted, Democrats were no closer to control of county government. In fact, they were further behind.

If the Democrats couldn’t pull off victory this year, do they have a future in Monroe County? And if so, what is it?

These are questions the party will grapple with as it heads into 2012. Next November there will be another countywide election — the county clerk’s office is up — as well as State Legislature, congressional, and presidential elections.

The results of last week’s elections weren’t

all bad for Monroe County Democrats.

Democrat Sandra Doorley beat Republican Bill Taylor in the district attorney race.

Doorley actually received more votes than Brooks did in her race.

And Democrat Doug Randall beat his opponent, Republican Gino Nitti, for a County Court judgeship.

In Irondequoit, not only did Democrats Stephanie Aldersley and John Perticone win re-election, but cross-endorsed Republican Supervisor Mary Joyce D’Aurizio got far more votes on the Democratic line than on the Republican line.

Democrats held on to the East Rochester mayor’s office and picked up a seat on the Rush Town Board. And in Chili, Democrat Susan Vandervoort came close to unseating incumbent Republican David Dunning.

And there is a silver lining in the county executive’s race: Brooks got less than 57 percent of the vote. In 2003, Brooks’ total was 65 percent. So Democratic leaders say Frankel performed well.

But Frankel’s loss is still disappointing and the Legislature losses are a big blow.

And Democrats also lost a seat each on the Mendon and Gates Town Boards.

Democratic leaders say they have some ideas why they lost the executive and

Legislature races.

The party continues to have difficulty turning-out voters, they say, particularly in the city, even though Democrats have a countywide enrollment advantage.

The party also has trouble raising enough money to be competitive. Brooks went into the race with a large campaign account, and she significantly outspent Frankel. She also pumped funds to the county Republican committee. Money matters when it comes to advertising, getting the message out, and responding to attacks.

DA race: post-game analysis The fact that people are calling Democrat Sandra Doorley’s election-night victory over Republican Bill Taylor in the district-attorney race an upset is curious, considering the DA job has been held by a Democrat for decades. And Doorley has spent her entire career in the office.

But Taylor had the money — reports say he raised three times more than Doorley — and County Executive Maggie Brooks’ powerful persona behind him. Doorley was also late to the game. Democrats held-off naming a candidate as long as they could, hoping current DA Mike Green’s future might be settled. Green is waiting for the US Senate to confirm his appointment to the federal bench.

But Doorley walked away with the race: she beat Taylor by a wider margin than even the Republican Brooks defeated Democratic challenger Sandy Frankel. She got more votes than Brooks, too.

Post-election pundits are crediting Doorley’s extensive experience, as well as Taylor’s link to the scandal-prone Brooks administration for Doorley’s victory. But the more conspiratorialminded might wonder if Taylor was a straw man — a clever diversion orchestrated by the GOP. Democrats can’t match the GOP’s fund-raising prowess, and money spent on the DA contest was money not spent on the higher-profile county-executive race.

And what about Bill Taylor? He’s young, energetic, charming, and Brooks’ right-hand man. We haven’t seen the last of him.

— CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

City

NOVEMBER 16-22, 2011

Brooks had an incumbent’s advantages, and received sizeable donations from construction and engineering firms, as well as the building trades unions. Frankel’s contributors generally donated smaller amounts, though she received large donations from Paetec CEO Arunas Chesonis and SEIU Local 1199.

Republicans also had institutional advantages that come with being the party in power. Democrat Dick Beebe lost his County Legislature race because of the way a Republican-led commission redrew legislative districts. Beebe’s district had a Republican enrollment advantage when Beebe first won four years ago, and the new lines mean Republicans have an even stronger advantage now.

The new district lines may have also been a factor in Democrat Steve Eckel’s defeat in the Lej. But there were other factors there, too, including a last-minute controversy over nude, artistic self-portraits Eckel had on his personal website.

Democratic leaders do not agree on whether

the party is connecting with voters. But the obstacles they identify indicate that, at least to some degree, it is an issue.

It may be a matter of the party considering what reasons it’s giving voters to go to the polls and to support its candidates, says Anthony Plonczynski, leader of the 21st Legislative District.

Some Democratic leaders say messaging could be improved, though they also say that the issues the party is stressing do resonate with voters.

“We struggle with it and we just haven’t figured it out yet,” says Joe Morelle, chair of the Monroe County Democratic Committee.

In the county executive and Legislature races, Democrats stressed accountability and transparency, as well as budget priorities. They leaned heavily on Brooksadministration scandals as they tried to make the case that they’d do a better job leading the county.

Republicans, on the other hand, brought everything back to taxes: repeatedly hammering that Brooks hasn’t raised the county property tax rate. That’s a message that does stick with voters. City Council member Elaine Spaull says

she heard as much from voters when she accompanied Frankel door-to-door.

But there was a message advanced by the Doorley and Randall campaigns that did seem to appeal to voters: experience matters. Both campaigns heavily promoted the candidates’ backgrounds, qualifications, and accomplishments. That is something Democratic leaders could seize on in future elections.

The party is going to have to work to make

sure city residents know why their vote matters, Morelle says, explaining that it comes down to fair distribution of resources.

One example: Monroe Community College.

MCC benefits the entire county, but city residents pay a disproportionate amount of the cost to fund the college.

That effort is going to be crucial going into the 2012 elections, where turnout should be much higher: presidential, congressional, and State Legislature elections usually generate more interest and enthusiasm among voters.

That presents Democrats with another opportunity to win a county office other than DA or judge — one that could give them a countywide elected official to help with fund raising and recruiting candidates.

The county clerk’s seat is up in 2012.

Republicans may use the race to draw attention to the party and its platform, and to talk up County Clerk Cheryl Dinolfo, a supposed successor to Brooks. The GOP could also use 2012 to build momentum for a possible Brooks congressional campaign.

For Democrats, the county clerk race could be the next best opportunity to stop Monroe County’s Republican machine.

The article, “City’s new schools, a mix of promise and caution” in the November 8, 2011, issue contained a paragraph that inaccurately portrayed one of the findings of a report by the Center for Governmental Research. The following is the corrected version.

CGR researchers said they saw “what we felt was a wide range of expectations for students.” At the high end, they said, they saw “classes where students were asked to do challenging work requiring higher-level skills.” But “at the low end we saw classes where students were allowed not to work, answers were freely given to students if they raised their hands, work was very low-level, and little or no responsibility for learning was placed upon the students.”

Dining phyllo, but also not as doughy as fried Indian samosas, with just a little bit of sweetness to complement the ingredients inside. The beef filling, bits of chopped but not ground meat was a little on the bland side, but the chicken had an excellent rich flavor, and the spinach in the spinach and cheese samsa was distinct and deeply green tasting (samsas $1 each).

I came back for a lahmacun ($2.50), for

Turkish delights Istanbul Market 1388 Norton St. 342-2990 Monday-Thursday 9 a.m.-7 p.m., Friday-Saturday 9 a.m.-8 p.m., Sunday 9 a.m.-5 p.m. [ REVIEW ] BY JAMES LEACH

The first time I set foot in the Istanbul Market on Norton Street, my head was filled with fond memories of lahmacun — a Turkish cousin of thin-crusted pizza topped with a spicy mixture of finely ground lamb, beef, onions, tomatoes, and Italian parsley. Not being well-versed in the Islamic religious calendar, I had no idea that I was dropping in on this tiny storefront market on what was probably one of its two busiest days of the year, Eid al-Adha.

Eid al-Adha celebrates the end of the Hajj, Muslims’ annual pilgrimage to Mecca, and according to Islamic faith it also commemorates Abraham’s obedience to God’s will, demonstrated by his willingness to sacrifice his son Ishmael (Isaac in the JudeoChristian tradition). God, you may recall, spared Ishmael’s life, providing Abraham with

a ram to sacrifice in his stead. Thus, a holiday tradition was born: lamb, occasionally homeslaughtered lamb, is the entrée of choice on Eid al-Adha. And that entrée was apparently standing between me and my lahmacun the first time I visited Istanbul Market. All of the available space in the take-out’s three ovens was taken up by hotel pans of roasted meat and other delicacies, presumably earmarked for festive meals later in the day.

Fortunately, the 9-year-old establishment has a lot more to offer than just Middle Eastern pizza and lamb curries. I consoled myself with a massive portion of rice pilaf (long-grain white rice enriched with fried onions and mixed with both orzo and tiny strands of pasta called filini) topped with several pieces of delectable braised chicken in a spicy brown sauce full of paprika and garlic along with red peppers and onions ($14.99 per pound). For good measure, I also ordered a selection of samsas, flaky pastries filled with ground chicken, beef, or spinach and cheese, something like a cross between an Indian samosa and spanakopita. On the way out the door, I also grabbed a small tray of baklava and another of kadayif, a confection similar to baklava made with thin strands of vermicelli-like pastry.

In appearance, the chicken and rice looks not unlike similar dishes I’ve had in Jamaican, Dominican, and Puerto Rican restaurants, the deep-brown pepper-flecked broth slick with rendered chicken fat and redolent of paprika and cumin, the meat sliding from the bones in meltingly tender shreds ($6.99). In flavor, it seemed closer to the deeply roasted savor an Indian tandoori chicken or a mild vindaloo than the usual herb and cumin flavor profiles of Middle Eastern dishes. The rice, soaked in all that unctuous gravy, was good by itself, but the pasta, apparently cooked in a rich chicken stock before being stirred into the dish, added salty and meaty accents to an already good thing. Topped with a generous dollop of owner Fatih Bilgin’s homemade hot sauce — a thick paste full of heat and a nice vinegar bite — one portion is enough for two to share.

You will not, however, want to share your samsas. Bilgin’s wife, who he describes as a “genius with dough,” makes all of the breads and pastries at Istanbul Market and its sister location in Henrietta, the 6-month-old and much larger International Market on Jefferson Road. I would agree that there’s a genius at work here: the samsa dough is closer to a perfect pie crust than anything else, not quite

which Bilgin’s wife makes the buttery-tasting dough, the next afternoon. The contrast between the afternoon of Eid al-Adha and the next day could not have been greater. There was a quiet but steady stream of customers coming in to get lunch, but nothing like the madhouse of the previous day. Bilgin was managing the kitchen by himself, and had no problem finding a few minutes to toss the dough — formed almost exactly the way you’d form a pizza crust — slather it with toppings and slide it into the oven.

Lahmacun are not as substantial as pizzas, so you would be well-advised to order at least two of them for an adequate lunch, and three or four if you plan on remaining in your spouse’s good graces. Straight from the oven, these street snacks are crispy and smell of onions, cumin, and lamb, the flavors sharp and distinct. But even if they have to sit for a bit before you can dig in, the lahmacun don’t suffer. As with good pizza, lahmacun might be even better cold or only slightly warm, the whole thing rolled up like a crepe and liberally dipped in hot sauce.

Both Istanbul Market and the International Market in Henrietta also feature Pakistani dishes with familiar names — chicken makhani and korma, chief among them — with flavors that are distinct from the typical Indian restaurant staples. Like Afghan cuisine, the Pakistani menu at the International Market puts a heavy emphasis on meat and kebabs.

The meat case at the back of the store is stacked high with long, flat skewers of glistening meat that Bilgin or one of his cooks will be glad to grill for you. A steam table not far away offers a selection of hot dishes, including the chicken I tried at Istanbul Market and a Pakistani chicken makhani ($6.99) that is both lighter in color and slightly different in flavor than its Indian cousin. Where makhani often has the character of Indian cream-of-tomato soup, this version of the dish had less tomato and more ginger, cumin, and pepper, allowing the meat to stand out rather than fade into the background as a texture rather than a taste.

With a chunk of fresh pita to scoop up meat, sauce, and rice you’ll wonder why anyone would ever bother with a spoon.

in s t in c t s TACKLI NG THE FOOD CHALLE NGES OF ROCHES TER [ FEAT URE ] BY WILL IE CLAR K | photos by max seifert

For some people, food is just that: food. Fuel — ideally tasty fuel — that keeps the body plugging along. But for an increasing segment of the population, food and eating have become something else: a challenge. Another arena in which to test who is the top dog, leader of the pack, or king of the hill. Competitive eating continues to grow in popularity with events televised on ESPN, internationally known melees like the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, and the Travel Channel’s hit show “Man Vs. Food,” in which host Adam Richman tries his stomach at various food challenges across the country. The spinoff, “Man Vs. Food Nation,” recently had a Rochester-based episode that shined a spotlight on culinary creations right in our backyard.

I can remember my first food challenge. I was at a car show in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, years ago.

I had to be the first to finish an entire whippedcream pie. I won a t-shirt that was too big for me — I suspect they didn’t plan on someone my size winning the contest. Nowadays I don’t

eat competitively, but I love a challenge. And while I’m not the track-running stick I was in high school, I think my respectable 32/34 waist (depending which restaurant I’m walking out of) and 5’10” stature keeps me a fairly lean, mean, eating machine.

And really, Rochester is a great place to put my competitive-eating talent to the test. After trying the second-highest hot-wings challenge at Quaker Steak & Lube over the summer, the wheels began turning. My goal: to hit as many Rochester-based food challenges as I could, eating across different flavors, foods, and feats, testing myself on all the gut-busting obstacles: speed, heat, and bulk of food. I narrowed my quest down to five different challenges that I’ve been punishing myself through over the past five weeks. Below find my tales of digestive woe. If we missed a local food challenge, please let us know about it by making a comment on this article at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

TOKYO RESTAURANT’S LEVEL 7 MISO RAMEN SOUP

“Known in the Rochester area for our outstanding selection of wines from around the world.”

DESCRIPTION: Finish the approx. 16 oz. bowl of soup in 30 minutes or less ($8.25) REWARD: Your picture on the wall, soup is free BEST FOR: Fish, Aquaman, anybody with some gillyweed

LE BEAUJOLAIS NOVEAU 2011 EST ARRIVÉ!

DIFFICULTY LEVEL:

First up on my list was Tokyo Restaurant’s challenge, a massive bowl of miso ramen soup prepared at the highest spice level. I had originally picked it because I thought it would be one of the easier challenges on my list. I mean, it’s soup. How hard can it be?

I was so confident, in fact, that I ate lunch just a few hours earlier: a decent-sized salad and an M&M ice-cream sandwich. What could go wrong?

I knew I was in trouble when a waitress brought a bowl of soup to a table near me, coughing after catching a whiff of the spice.

That soup was only a Level 4 in spiciness.

The table full of other diners laughed at me for even thinking about going higher up on the scale.

The first bite in I thought I’d be fine.

The soup was spicy, to be sure, up there with some of the hottest solid foods I’ve ever tasted. But I thought I could handle it. However I completely underestimated the problems that a liquid-based spicy challenge would present as I went deeper into the abyss. Only a minute or so in I was already coughing. The spice slowly started to compound across my taste buds, and it wasn’t long before my sinuses started running. Five minutes in I was still enjoying the soup, but the heat continued to build. I clung to the notion that it would be close. If the soup cooled down, I just might have a chance.

I was naïve. The problem: most spicy things are solid. Chicken wings give you some meat to help wash down your tears.

The soup, however, was like drowning in a bottle of boiling hot Tabasco sauce. Even though I was allowed to drink water during the challenge, it proved to be a double-edged sword. It helped with the soup’s super-hot temperature, but cost me time and precious tummy space.

Halfway through I could tell things were looking bleak. The coughing only continued, and the water-to-soup ratio made it look like I was having a waterdrinking challenge with a soup chaser. One of my plans was to try to get rid of the solid food first — the leeks, noodles, and meat — and then chug the broth like my life depended on it. It was a good plan, but difficult to enact in practice.

By the time the soup hit an edible temperature, my stomach was already screaming a loud and resounding “NO!” As I limped through the last few minutes of the

challenge, picking at the seemingly Olympic-pool-sized bowl, I realized I wasn’t eating. I was barely gnawing at the noodles in an attempt to persevere. By that point the soup stopped tasting good. When asked why, I responded with a bitter, “There’s a lot.” I vowed to never eat soup again.

So I definitively failed Challenge 1. It was more of a food marathon where I had expected a sprint. The main problem was continues on page 12 rochestercitynewspaper.com City 11

that I was spread too thin and fighting too many fronts. I was up against heat, time, temperature, and volume. By the end the soup was diluted with tears of defeat, and I was starting off my quest 0-1. To make matters worse, somebody on the wall

C h a l lenge 2 QUAKER STEAK & LUBE TRIPLE ATOMIC WINGS DESCRIPTION: Eat six mega-hot wings, no time limit ($6.99) REWARD: Name on wall, car decal BEST FOR: Dragons, frat boys, Frosty the Snowman DIFFICULTY LEVEL:

Next it was time to spread my wings. The spicy side of food has always been my specialty, going back to high school when I was forbidden from making an all-pepper stir fry in cooking class. Having had my share of both hot wings and sauces, I was feeling a little cocky. I felt more at home with this challenge, but also felt some pressure. What if I didn’t succeed in what I was predicting would be one of my best showings?

I started with a newcomer to the Rochester wing crowd, national chain Quaker Steak & Lube. When it first opened earlier this year I tried one of its regular “atomic” wings. This time I was back for the six-wing “triple atomic” challenge.

For the five people on earth who follow these kinds of things, the wings sit at a blistering 500,000 Scoville units. If cavemen had sauce this hot, we never would have learned how to build fires from wood.

This challenge is not for the faint of heart, or tongue.

The six wings came piled innocuously in an egg carton, and they looked good to boot.

I decided for the sake of the contest to go blue-cheese commando: I was going straight for the heat. Might as well grab the chicken by the proverbial horns.

The wings didn’t smell that hot, and they weren’t soaking in sauce at the bottom of the carton. For packing such a punch, the sauce was actually quite tasty. It had a tanginess that most super-hot sauces lack, and it wasn’t outof-the-gates-of-Hell unbearable.

The heat started to build, however, and it was the after effect of the sauce that was the worst. Once I paused my mouth was consumed by the fiery spices. I plowed through the six wings as fast as I could, coughing once after the fourth wing. It was nowhere near the lung-attack festival that the soup had thrown the week before, though that may have been the difference between taking the sauce straight to the 12 City NOVEMBER 16-22, 2011

BUFFALO WILD WINGS BLAZIN’ CHALLENGE DESCRIPTION: Devour 12 wings in six minutes ($10.15) REWARD: Photo on wall, t-shirt (they were all out!), a kick-ass wing crown (be jealous) DIFFICULTY LEVEL:

With only a day in between I rebounded to Buffalo Wild Wings. If I was going to do one national-chain wing challenge, I might as well do two. The BWW challenge was slightly more regulated then Quaker Steak’s, and that made it much more difficult. I had only six minutes to eat 12 wings, which I wasn’t that worried about.

But the challenge also specifies no napkins, no water, no blue cheese, no nothing. It was just me vs. the wings. The restaurant even set out a glass of milk to tempt me for when I was finished, the white light at the end of the red-hot tunnel.

I felt pretty good going in, even with the time limit and the heat. For more perspective as to just how much fun these challenges are, the waitress told me that a few fraternity brothers had come in for a pledge event earlier that week. It made me feel good knowing that I was choosing to do something others took as punishment — and that they didn’t pass the test. I’m waiting for my frat acceptance letter in the mail.

Once the wings came I wasted no time going through them. I moved through the first three in a blazing fast 45 seconds, giving me good time left on the clock for once the heat fully kicked in. For a while I was on pace to clear under four minutes. My first cough came right under the three-minute mark.

“I smelled that cough,” a waiter said.

From there I slowed down, the heat finally getting to me. I ended up finishing the 12 wings in 4:27, which for

comparison purposes, is faster than I have ever been able to run a mile. The reference is apt, given how much these wings made me sweat. The waiter even brought me a very refreshing wash cloth once I finished to help cool things down.

The heat from the BWW wings was enough to literally make me cry: I wept

throat instead of letting it pass through my mouth first. In any event, success was mine.

To tally up my cooling efforts: before I left the restaurant I downed four glasses of water, drank some of the blue-cheese dressing, nibbled on some pita bread, and had a chocolatebrownie sundae. The burning sensation lasted roughly eight minutes and my lips burned on past that. But I walked out victorious, and got a snazzy car decal. I felt famous.

mid-contest. Just like the Quaker Steak wings, it was a slow-building heat, but this was much more intense and lacked the sweeter kick of the Lube wings. The burn also lasted a lot longer — it was more than 20 minutes before my mouth finally stopped burning, and it took even longer than that for my lips to cool down.

C h a l lenge 3 2 TON TONY’S 2 TON-ZA CHALLENGE DESCRIPTION: Two people must eat 10 lbs. of pizza in 45 minutes ($25) REWARD: T-shirt, picture on wall, certificate for free large pizza PRO TIP: Transform into a cow; have eight stomachs DIFFICULTY LEVEL:

With two victories under my belt it was time to up the ante. The next two challenges on my list had never been beaten before. First up was 2 Ton Tony’s 2 Ton-za Challenge, which was a mouthful just to say. This two-person challenge required me bringing in the cavalry, so I wrangled my good friend Dillon Jinks, who had joined me last year in a fun jog around Sticky Lips’ Atomic Challenge (more on that in a minute).

Preparation is always important, and I didn’t want to go into this one blind. I started a junior version of what heavyweight eaters might put themselves through. For a few days leading up to the challenge, I was almost constantly drinking water — it expands the stomach and runs through your system quickly. The day before I crammed four meals into one day, and the day of I had a light breakfast and only enough small snacks to keep me from completely wasting away before dinner.

For the 45-minute challenge we were allowed to drink water, but couldn’t leave the table for bathroom (or, in this case, vomit room) breaks. We decided on pepperoni and half banana peppers, but in hindsight we probably should have just went with cheese.

“You’re screwed,” the man across the counter told me when I told him I was here for the challenge. Apparently the furthest any team has ever come is halfway through the pizza. That immediately became my benchmark and goal.

My first thought when the pizza came out was wondering where the restaurant found a tray that big. I’m guessing it must have been a custom order, and I worried for the poor oven that had to accommodate all that pizza. This was a continent of pizza, featuring roughly 60 As of press time, nobody has beaten 2 Ton Tony’s slices. That’s a lot of dough.

My first giant burp came roughly 10 minutes in. I had perfected my burp wiggle, which usually works to move the food through my system faster and help me release when I need to. “It doesn’t taste good anymore...This isn’t worth it,” I uttered as the contest progressed, already knowing that there was no way we’d be able to finish.

The clock kept running, and my mouth kept moving, albeit much more slowly. “Oh God, I’m so tired. I feel like it’s got like chloroform in it,” I said (even the sound of my voice on the digital recorder seemed over it). “Passing this is going to suck. It’s going to be like passing a kidney stone through my butt.”

My compatriot Dillon was even less pleased: “You tricked me into doing this.”

With 15 minutes remaining, my taste buds hit their limit. The pizza itself was quite yummy, but eating so much of it was causing my mouth to process nothing but salt.

“My goal is to eat one more piece of pizza,” I said. “Oh wait, there’s one right here [on my plate]. I guess my goal is to eat this piece of pizza. It doesn’t even taste like pizza anymore...”

The delirium only got worse. If you can get drunk off of food, I was three sheet pizzas to the wind. And there was at least one moment where I was worried that the food was going to start coming out the same way I was trying to force it in.

By the end — we finished a respectable just past half way through the pizza — I felt like I was pregnant with a pizza baby. I could hardly sit up straight, was barely coherent, and passed out almost as soon as I got home. Just like drinking too much, my body was retreating from food the only way it knew how: forcing

me to sleep. It was the most painful of the challenges at that point, and I’m not going to lie, I wavered in my resolve to continue my quest. But I only had one left, and I wasn’t going to let a pizza that could have solved world hunger stop me now.

Just like the previous challenge, nobody has beaten the current iteration of Sticky Lips’ Atomic Food Challenge, now featuring a larger bun, more bacon, and hot meat sauce.

(The challenge was recently featured on “Man Vs. Food Nation.”) Truth be told, this wasn’t

my first encounter with the massive meal. I tried it once before in the summer of 2010, and am either brave, or dumb, enough to be back a second time.

My waitress told me I wasn’t the first challenge she had that day. I was the third:

two people had tried it during lunch. I can’t imagine doing much after any of these challenges, much less walking back into work. So kudos to the lunch patrons who dared to dance on the devil’s dance floor.

With the ring of a bell, the waiter announced the commencement of the challenge. My food arrived. It was a lot bigger then I remembered. But we had a score to settle.

The Atomic Challenge is a pretty intimidating plate of food. I never really reached the bottom of the platter — I moved food out of the way just to make sure it had a bottom, but it was so big that even finding a place to start seemed a life-altering decision. The size of some of the lessprovoking elements was also alarming. I’m pretty sure this wasn’t normally sized, earthgrown lettuce. I didn’t even bother with the tomatoes. I don’t like them, and unless they were the last thing between me and victory, there was no reason to be so cruel to myself.

Not far into the challenge I was in danger: I had taken a giant bite and not chewed it enough. As I struggled to swallow the too-big-to-eat bite, I was worried I might have made a rookie mistake and would end up choking to death. I recovered, but that fear plagued me as I tried to eat more manageable pieces and not die in a giant pile of food. I think you’re automatically out of Pulitzer contention if you expire mid-bite.

I did not stop while the timer kept ticking, and by the end I obliterated most, if not all, of the hamburger and pulled pork — all of it delicious — but I just couldn’t get past the large starchy pile of fries. I’m pretty sure I got the bacon and cheese

polished off as well, because hey, I’d eat anything covered in bacon.

After my second Atomic defeat I didn’t actually feel that bad. I was much more talkative than I was after the pizza, which pretty much crippled me, and worried that I didn’t push myself far enough this time around. It wasn’t until I got up to leave that it really started to hit me. I took leftovers with me (what would fit in the take out box, that is). The car ride home was agony, perhaps because I was driving, but also because every whiff of the to-go box caused me to fear for my poor nauseated stomach. Let’s just say I made it home just in time. At least I didn’t have to worry about those calories. (Sticky Lips is located at 625 Culver Road and 830 Jefferson Road. For more information visit stickylipsbbq.com)

Phat Man Dee sing the “Star Spangled Banner” with her whole fist in her mouth. This woman is as zaftig as she is zany. It’s the perfect marriage of a beautiful voice and a twisted mind, kind of like Karen Black in a more cabaret setting. But it isn’t all high-brow low-jinx; Phat Man Dee has a set of powerful pipes behind her exquisite phrasing.

Wedding crasher

[ ROCK ] There was a brief period between punk’s

[ review ] by frank de blase

dying gasps and new wave’s baptismal cry where emerging bands were simultaneously neither genre, and yet both. Acts like The Lords Of The New Church, The Stranglers, Echo and the Bunnymen, XTC, and The Chameleons forged music with pop optimism with a dash of rock cynicism. Some are dead and gone, some are still doing it, and some, like The Chameleons are finally back at it again. Though nostalgic for some, the band’s sound is still relevant, fun, and catchy. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Bobby Jones Gospel Thanksgiving Friday, November 18 Main Street Armory, 900 E. Main St. 8 p.m. | $35-$65 | rochestermainstreetarmory.com [ GOSPEL ] Dr. Bobby Jones is big in the gospel

world. His “Bobby Jones Gospel” show has aired on BET since November 1980 and is one of the network’s most popular series. Along with the New Life Singing Aggregation and The Nashville Super Choir, Jones performs all styles of gospel music. And he’s got the airwaves with “The Bobby Jones Gospel Radio Show” and “The Bobby Jones Gospel Countdown.” And now the man is bringing the message to the good people of Rochester just in time for Thanksgiving. Praise the lord and pass the mashed potatoes! — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Roots Collider went all Blue Note on me

Friday night as I climbed into the comfort of Lovin’ Cup. The sharp-dressed men and the gal in the wedding gown mingling with the casual types made me feel like I had crashed a wedding. So there’s Roots Collider, on stage, in suits, unplugged, just swinging it. But it was still the band’s own material, and I have a hunch that it may have been the first-ever acoustic dub-step ever attempted anywhere. It was utterly fantastic and enthralling in its elegance and reserve, and all it took was for the guys to unplug their instruments.

It still had that rhythmic balance and counterpoint punch between the players, but it came off infinitely more percussive.

With Bill Smith’s halting punch at the grand piano’s wide grin and Dexter Redic’s bass notes swimming around fretlessly, it was like a hard-bop take on dub step gone chronologically askew. This is how new stuff gets discovered, man.

After the bride threw the bouquet into the crowd, thus furthering my suspicion that I was at a wedding reception, The Niche took to the bandstand. These guy jam, but the hooks they all wrangle on

their tools are so, so catchy and fine. The bass was funky, the keyboards colorful, the guitar displayed a full set of teeth that simultaneously snarled and smiled, and the drums spoke shake fluently to all the hips in attendance. This is a band full of terrific music and totally lacking in pretense. It’s exactly what a good bar band should be, or do, or shooby-dooby-do.

A few months ago I saw Jackson Browne at the Auditorium Theatre. At the time I said that he had the best live acoustic guitar tone I had ever heard.

Well, he’s been bested by Rochester guitar slinger Todd Krasz. Krasz was pickin’ country Saturday on the stage at Monty’s Krown — not necessarily known for its high fidelity — along with his missus.

This quaint duo performs under the name Kraszman and Fishwife, and it tackles honky and tonk like a punked-up Johnny and June affair full of heartache, humor, and Krasz’s deft guitar work. The picking was so good that it even sounded fantastic going through a rudimentary PA. And let’s not forget the man-in-almost-allblack’s singing; Krasz has got a voice so low and husky it could pull a dogsled.

Local band Fringe City got its start opening for local ska act Mrs. Skannotto, but offers up a much more aggressive and raw sound. PHOTO provided

Seething and soothing Fringe City Fringecityband.com [ PROFILE ] By Frank De Blase

Fringe City is a band that is slowly finding its attitude, its relevance, its personality. That’s not to say those elements aren’t already there. It’s just that a band is, in most cases, a forward-moving entity, an endless work in progress. And it’s early on, somewhere between the nurse and the hearse, that certain raw elements predominate. The Flower City’s Fringe City has capitalized on its own raw intensity. As the band grows, things inevitably get more fluid and precise, but the members — singer Joe Harmon, drummer Ben Harmon, guitarist Alex Charissis, and bassist Dave Goldstein — keep the group’s adherence to volatility, volume, and aggression. Those are qualities that don’t need a whole lot of polish to sound good.

Joe Harmon started Fringe City with his brother Ben and Goldstein in 2008. Charissis got on board six months later. The band’s sound had yet to reveal itself; at first it was destination unknown.

“We weren’t sure,” Joe Harmon says about the band’s initial direction. “That’s why we started as a trio, just to kind of feel out where the songs were going.”

The band opened a show for local ska darlings Mrs. Skannotto (Harmon now sings for that group as well) and went over big time, especially considering Fringe City’s slightly darker tone when compared to Mrs. Skannotto’s up-tempo exuberance.

“It went surprisingly well,” Harmon says of that first show. “We kept looking at each other on 18 City NOVEMBER 16-22, 2011

stage — ‘What the hell’s going on?’ — whenever the crowd would cheer.”

Harmon says Fringe City didn’t augment its set to suit the crowd, but rather bored down with its measured intensity. “It was just loud, aggressive music,” he says. “But they dug it.”

Fringe City goes way beyond loud and

aggressive. Those adjectives can often be crutches or cheap substitutes for what’s not there. For Fringe City, it’s a revered dynamic, not to be overused or abused — this band does not calculate. As principal songwriter, Harmon makes sure of it. And the band’s debut disc, “In Situ,” proves it.

With Harmon working on the Mrs. Skannotto record and his brother off at Berklee College of Music in Boston, “In Situ” took one and a half years to make (it was released this past August). It roars and rumbles with a dense velocity. If you like Fugazi or anything off the beaten path that positively seethes in some spots and soothes in others, you’ll dig this.

“I’m writing heavily influenced by the early and mid-90’s,” says Harmon. “So loud and aggressive is mostly what I’m going for. But there are some quieter cuts on the record, some weird stuff. Music I hear on the radio, modern rock, is just so generic and overly produced to me. The point is to go the other way with it. I guess that’s what I mean when I say aggressive; I mean raw.”

“In Situ” illustrates this point with dynamic dips and detours to keep it exciting.

Slower, more melodic songs cushion the blow of the heavier material, giving it more impact when it arrives. It also sidesteps many of the

limiting factors created by choosing just one side of a genre.

“I wanted it to have some lighter songs and some heavier songs so we didn’t pigeonhole ourselves into one specific genre,” Harmon says. “So then, as we move forward, we can go in this direction, that direction, and it’ll happen organically.”

Despite the band’s fury and power, there are no

histrionics, there is no drama. Nothing feels forced.

“I think the big appeal is we’re aggressive,” Charissis says. “But I don’t hear too much screaming as far as the vocals go.” It’s a balance and sound Harmon and Charissis both dreamed of as young rock ’n’ roll wannabes. Fringe City has realized the dream.

“As far as music goes,” Harmon says, “this album is the closest I’ve ever really come to purely what I’m into and what I want to write. I’m very happy with it, especially the production on it,” he says, singling out producer Calvin May at Black Dog Recording Studios.

“I think the fantasy has changed too,” says Charissis, referencing the wisdom that early 30s provides. “We’re not old by any means, but just getting more mature. When you’re younger the fantasy is play, have a shag, do some drugs, and just have some fun, whatever. But when you get older it’s not about that, it’s about the music.”

“There’s more focus to make the songs better,” Harmon says.

Which can, of course, lead to more dope and dames.

“Yeah,” says Harmon, “That’s always in the back of your mind.”

ROCK | AWOLNATION

Experiencing an artistic lull with former outfit Under The Influence of Giants, Aaron Bruno jumped at the chance to record new material following an offer from Red Bull Records. An independent label funded by the ubiquitous energy-drink company, Red Bull offers free studio time to up-and-coming acts. Bruno and new outfit AWOLNATION took to the studio with an erratic sonic road map, where no two tracks sound alike yet mesh as a whole on records. Often dark and frequently electronic, the band has a legitimate hit in “Sail,” whose moody electronica has been featured in commercials and a promo for a certain television show featuring a surly British doctor. Whichever the genre, you’re sure to leave less than surly.

JAZZ | Eastman New Jazz Ensemble

And now for something radically different. The Eastman New Jazz Ensemble, under the direction of Dave Rivello, is known for taking on the more innovative side of the jazzband canon, but this is unprecedented. Thursday evening the band will play 12 jazz-orchestra arrangements of tunes by the progressive British band Radiohead, including “Paranoid Android” from “OK Computer,” “15 Step” from “In Rainbows,” and “Everything In Its Right Place” and “Idioteque” from “Kid A.” Fred Strum, former head of the Eastman Jazz Studies Department (and a big Radiohead fan — who knew?) spearheaded the project.

CLASSICAL | Cordancia

400 Jefferson Road • 424-4411

Who doesn’t know the Mozart Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, KV 466? At least the sweet serenade of a tune that starts the second movement before it rips off into something more akin to Beethoven? This week the crowd-pleasing favorite will be in the hands of pianist James Douthit, chairman of the Nazareth College Music Department, and the chamber orchestra Cordancia. A delightful program, the evening will also include Vaughan Williams’s “Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis” and Dvorak’s “Serenade for Wind Instruments, Cello, and Double Bass” in D minor, Op. 44. Cordancia was co-founded

by Pia Liptak, violinist and faculty member at the Hochstein School of Music and Dance, and Kathleen Suher, principal oboist for the University of Rochester Symphony Orchestra.

Guitar genius Chet Catallo is getting increasingly mobile.

Since serious back surgery a few years back, Catallo has shifted from wheelchair to cane on the road to all better.

Despite the mobility issues, this six-time Grammy Award nominee has never put down his pretty blonde guitar.

Known as a member of the legendary jazz-fusion outfit Spyro Gyra, Catallo’s sound now makes room for the blues and even a little funk without forsaking his smooth roots.

Chet Catallo plays with class.

The show takes place Friday, November 18, 9 p.m. at Lovin’ Cup, 300 Park Point Drive. $20. lovincup.com.

ROCK | Thee Oh Sees

Eschewing the traditional cycle of an album, Thee Oh Sees released two full-length albums in 2011. The San Francisco-based outfit sounds traditionally like 60’s garage rock, but its songs range in length from under two minutes to nearly seven, making it difficult to pin it into a single traditional genre. There are elements of psych, surf, and art-punk evident in its releases, and the band is widely known for its energetic live shows. Total Control and Paul Cary & The Small Scaries open the show.

The cast of Shakespeare Players’ “The Merchant of Venice.” PHOTO COURTESY ROCHESTER COMMUNITY PLAYERS

Paying the price “The Merchant of Venice” Through November 19

By Rochester Community Players MuCCC, 142 Atlantic Ave. $5-$15 rochestercommunityplayers.org [ REVIEW ] BY ERIC REZSNYAK

It has been a big year for Rochester Community Players’ Shakespeare Players shingle. Large crowds turned out this summer for the annual Shakespeare in the Park production in Highland Bowl (this year it was a very solid production of “Othello”). The Players launched the Rochester Shakespeare Literary Society, a monthly discussion group meant to prepare audiences for upcoming Shakespeare productions in Rochester and Western New York. And the group is currently in the midst of an expanded theater season (with shows in fall, spring, and summer) with its current production of “The Merchant of Venice” at MuCCC. “Merchant” is a wonderful show featuring talented actors, engaging direction, and an alternately charming and controversial story, 24 City november 16-22, 2011

and I regret that I didn’t get a chance to review the play earlier in its run.

“Merchant” follows young Bassanio, a Venetian who has blown his family’s estate, as he seeks to woo and then wed the beautiful (and loaded) heiress Portia. To subsidize his journey, Bassanio reaches out to his longtime friend Antonio, a merchant who has bailed him out multiple times before. But Antonio’s assets are presently wrapped up in multiple trade deals all out to sea, so he tells Bassanio that he’ll act as his guarantor if Bassanio can find a lender. That ends up being Shylock, who is infamous for his aggressive lending terms, and is persecuted by most of Christian Venice due to his Jewish faith.

Antonio and Shylock dislike each other intensely, but go into business on Bassanio’s behalf, with the terms being that if the loan is not repaid by a certain date, Antonio owes Shylock a pound of his flesh.

Although the Elizabethan language remains

unchanged in the MuCCC production, director John R. Jaeger has given the play a modern feel, from the slick contemporary fashions to its classical incidental music mixed with hip-hop beats. Attempts at modernizing Shakespeare can go very wrong very fast, but everything worked with this show — none

of it felt desperate or patronizing. The mostly cosmetic changes worked with the enthusiastic, mostly young cast to make for a fresh-feeling production.

Even with the glossy coat, Jaeger does not shy away from any of the play’s themes, including its more difficult ones.

“Merchant” is known for its controversial treatment of Jewish characters, specifically Shylock, who is repeatedly referred to as less-than-human or soulless by the Christian characters. The dramatic courtroom scene, which includes several classic speeches concerning equality, humanity, and mercy, is riveting, and at times uncomfortable, as the enraged characters in the gallery practically spit the word “Jew.” This production doesn’t even attempt to mitigate that level of bigotry, although its depiction of Shylock is undeniably sympathetic for most of the show. I left struck by how a play written more than 400 years ago can still capture such complicated human emotions.

Not that it’s all about hate speech and revenge. The heavier topics in “Merchant” are balanced by some wonderful comic moments. The scenes with Portia and her suitors are hilarious, with hammy caricatures by familiar faces. Even some of the mistaken-identity bits, largely implausible to modern audiences, elicit some chuckles thanks to deft execution.

But it’s the little details that prove how well-directed and well-rehearsed this show is. Brief pantomime bits during set changes and some silent reactions by supporting characters demonstrate that the cast and crew were actively thinking about how to make the most of every second on the stage.

While most of the dozen-plus cast members

are terrific in general, there are some standouts. Ray Salah flawlessly executes the challenging role of Shylock. Every moment of his performance felt true, from his snide, under-the-breath comments to Antonio in the first act, to his despondency over learning of his great loss, to his resolute demands for justice. Judy Molner is a delight as Portia, making the sometimes cumbersome Elizabethan dialogue sound effortless, while bringing serious gravity to her more dramatic scenes in Act II. James Heath shares excellent chemistry with Molner, while his scenes with Ken Dauer (Antonio) hint at an interesting subtext of their own. Brad Craddock is exuberant as the quasi-fool Gratiano, while Kate Sherman slyly snatches attention in her role as the maid Nerissa. Lastly, credit to set designer Mark Casey, who has created the largest and most ambitious set I’ve ever seen on the typically sparse MuCCC stage.

KIDS | KID-FRIENDLY THEATER

It’s pretty well known that folk and fairy stories were originally penned not as the formulaic, relatively cushy fantasies that are offered to kids today, but as moralizing, cautionary tales that held some fairly disturbing elements. Though there is always some general resolution, the endings weren’t always happy.

Modern writers adhere mostly to the protect-the-children trend, but a couple world-weary authors have slipped disturbing elements through, believing that it’s better to warn the babes.

Two local theater productions that take heavy themes and make them manageable for young minds continue this week.

This week, you can take the tots to the TYKEs’ (Theater Young Kids Enjoy) production of “Willy Wonka,” (pictured) held at the Jewish Community Center (1200 Edgewood Ave., Brighton).

The show includes adult actors as well as puppets conveying the song-filled journey through Wonka’s often-dangerous Chocolate Factory. Performances take place Saturday, November 19, at 2 p.m. and Sunday, November 20, at 11 a.m. (interpreted for the hearing impaired) and 2 p.m., and tickets cost $16. For more information, call 461-2000 x235, or visit tykestheatre.org.

Equally heavy is the song-filled tale of “Oliver,” which includes real-world themes of child abuse, hunger, and thievery.

Pittsford Musicals’ production of “Oliver!” continues its run at Pittsford Sutherland High School Auditorium (55 Sutherland St., Pittsford) Friday, November 18, at 7:30 p.m., and Saturday, November 19, at 2 & 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $15 for youths, $18 for adult matinee, and $22 for adult evening. For more information, call 586-1500, or visit pittsfordmusicals.org.

SPECIAL EVENT | HAT GALLERY FASHION SHOW

Remember when people dressed their best whenever they left the house? Students showed up to class in style. Couples strolled down the street looking crisp in each others’ arms.

Now t-shirts, jeans, kicks, and hoodies are the rule, and to be honest, only hip-hop kids make that uniform look anything but slouchy. Not that I don’t love comfort, I just think we could stand to take our appearances a little more seriously.

And I think something that would help is to bring back the widespread wearing of hats.

Not baseball caps. Fedoras, cloches, bowlers, and tops. If you’re completely lost, you’re in luck: local boutique Headz Up Hats will host its 4th Annual Fall Fashion Preview Party, “Hat Gallery, The Experience,” on Monday, November 21, at the German House (315 Gregory St.). Rochester’s worldrenowned milliner, Dave Brown, will share hat wisdom, and you can partake of a build-a-hat workshop. Hats and accessories are half-price at the party, and there will be door prizes and music by Paradigm Shift.

The event takes place 6-10 p.m. Tickets cost $20 at the door, or $15 advance at Headz Up Hats and Tonja’s Personal Touch (524 Mt. Hope Ave.). A portion of ticket sales will benefit Hillside Work Scholarship Connection. For more information, call 442-7680. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY swfarmersmarket.org. 1-4 p.m.

The man who blackmailed presidents [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

might expect, a disappointingly incomplete picture of Hoover’s life and times.

As most students of contemporary politics “J. Edgar” know, Hoover achieved his astonishing longevity (R), directed by Clint Eastwood in government service through assiduous Now playing cultivation of the media, numerous fraudulent claims of personal heroism, and most of all, Because his career with the Federal Bureau of through an epic campaign of blackmail against Investigation lasted almost 50 years and he any opponents, including newspaper reporters, served under eight presidents, J. Edgar Hoover’s senators and congressmen, and all those life and work should logically represent presidents. A born voyeur and extortionist, he something of the course of American history violated the law with impunity, ordering his in the 20th century. Although it shows in great agents to tap telephones, bug hotel rooms, open detail much of that career and explains much private mail, and conduct personal surveillance of the man’s success, Clint Eastwood’s new operations against law-abiding citizens. movie “J. Edgar,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio Eastwood’s movie reveals most of the of all people, provides a good deal less than one relatively familiar facts about Hoover’s life, beginning with his work for the Department of Justice in 1919, when he conceived his lifelong obsession with Communism, which he regarded as an evil force bent on undermining American values and American morality.

The film then constantly switches back and forth Leonardo DiCaprio as J. Edgar Hoover in “J. Edgar.” PHOTO COURTESY WARNER

through time, showing its protagonist at different stages of his personal and professional life. It also employs some occasional voiceover narration, as Hoover describes important moments in his work to a couple of biographers.

According to Hoover, he engaged in shootouts with such notorious criminals as Prettyboy Floyd, Babyface Nelson, Machine Gun Kelly, and John Dillinger; he also claims credit for solving the crime of the century, the kidnaping of the Lindbergh baby. In its journeys through history, the movie reveals the numerous discrepancies between Hoover’s version of those stirring events and the facts. Despite his boasts and his headlines, according to the film he actually never fired a gun at or arrested anybody, and Colonel Lindbergh treated him with contempt.

In addition to showing numerous moments in his remarkable ascent and his long tenure, the film also delves into the personality of this horrible man. He lived with his mother (Judi Dench) until her death and clearly suffered from (or enjoyed) an Oedipal fixation, which engendered what seems a severely repressed homosexuality. Much of “J. Edgar” dwells on his long relationship with Clyde Tolson (Armie Hammer), with whom he apparently fell in love at first sight and almost immediately appointed as his deputy; Eastwood treats their relationship with an obnoxiously saccharine delicacy, all loving looks, throbbing declarations of friendship, and only one rather strange moment of passion, which erupts, ironically,

Of gods and goats [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

“Immortals” (R), directed by Tarsem Singh Now playing

“Le Quattro Volte” (NR), written and directed by Michelangelo Frammartino Screens Saturday & Sunday at the Dryden

when Hoover tells Clyde he is thinking of marrying Dorothy Lamour (can that really be true?).

Aside from digging up dirt on any person in power or any perceived enemy, Hoover’s abiding enthusiasm for organization and scientific investigation created the FBI that everyone knows, which despite its enormous resources somehow still seems unable to catch as much as a cold on a wet night. He so loved organization that as a young man he took a date, Helen Gandy (Naomi Watts), to the Library of Congress to show her the card catalog, hardly likely to inspire much in the way of passion (at least his dates with Clyde involve fancy restaurants and the race track).

The magic of the cinema and the skill of makeup artists enable the tall, lean, youngish Leonardo DiCaprio to impersonate the short, pudgy Hoover in all stages of his life, but the performance and the character mesh so fully in a kind of bland consistency that his appearance in virtually every scene ultimately robs the film of any real vitality. Although Armie Hammer projects a certain charm, his makeup artist failed him — in his old age the character looks like the hideous grandfather in “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre,” which destroys any previous credibility.

The biography balances a tedious literalness with cryptic hints of more engaging subjects that never blossom into significance. Despite the times he inhabited, the power he exerted, and his influence on history, the movie makes J. Edgar Hoover a most uninteresting man.

You know, if the MPAA truly wanted to protect you, then that shadowy outfit would spend less time trying to shield your fragile psyche from unclad, 20-foottall genitals and more time working to rid humanity of the post-production 3D nuisance. That’s when a so-called 3D film isn’t actually shot in three dimensions but 3D-ified later, at the lab. No, I’m not familiar with the exact process, and clearly I don’t know the correct verb either.

Frankly, I’m too annoyed to Google it.

This technological afterthought adds nothing to the movie experience (well, except an unflattering pair of glasses) yet subtracts an extra $3 from your wallet.

Hell, even “A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas” had the foresight to film in 3D, excellent use of the medium that puts

Henry Cavill as Theseus in “Immortals.”

PHOTO COURTESY RELATIVITY MEDIA

Tarsem Singh’s dull, dumb swords-andsandals epic “Immortals” to shame.

At least I think that was “Immortals”; another evil of 3D conversion is a perpetual murk to the finished product, which makes everything frustratingly dark. On the other hand, Mickey Rourke looks great when you can’t see him! The Oscar nominee for “The Wrestler” stars in this particular Greek mythology as the cruel King Hyperion, who — long story short — hopes to find a weapon called the Epirus Bow which he believes will allow him to rule heaven and earth.

And, naturally, some square-jawed killjoy is meant to stop him. Theseus (Henry Cavill, our next Superman) has lived his entire life under the watchful eye of Zeus (played by the great John Hurt in human form and Luke Evans on Olympus), and once Theseus witnesses Hyperion gleefully slitting his mother’s throat, we’re pretty sure that these two have a date with destiny.

Our storyline suspicions are confirmed in a vision that comes to the virgin oracle Phaedra (Freida Pinto, “Slumdog Millionaire”), though she relinquishes all of her considerable power the minute she gets it on with Theseus. (“A man’s seed can be his most brutal weapon,” Hyperion observes. Indeed. Also, yuck.)

So forget about Phaedra anyway, because “Immortals” is about the boys; handsome, shiny, shirtless boys who keep their friends close and their enemies under them. Yup, we’re in homoerotic “300” territory here (“Immortals” is from the same producers; the advertising REALLY wants you to know this), which means tiny togas and oodles of abs, as well as all the viscera that ensues when men penetrate each other with swords. So be warned: “Immortals” is bloody as hell, with mass decapitations, disembowelments, and whatever the word is for slicing a body totally in half.

And be warned that the script, by Charley and Vlas Parlapanides, isn’t so much stupid as it is boring, with long-

winded explanations and lame attempts at humor — most courtesy of Stephen Dorff’s wisecracking sidekick — that fall embarrassingly flat. But if you recall Tarsem Singh’s previous film, the eye-popping fantasy “The Fall,” it shouldn’t come as any shock that the visuals are frequently quite breathtaking, from the Titans’ mountain prison to the villages etched into the cliffs to Singh’s ingenious use of camera speed. (And costumer Eiko Ishioka’s lusciously fetishistic design.) Drawing obvious inspiration from Renaissance art, “Immortals” is unmistakably Singh, who in just three films has cemented his reputation as one of cinema’s preeminent stylists. The scenery might be even more stunning if it weren’t muddled in postproduction 3D gloom...and if Mickey Rourke’s teeth marks weren’t all over it.

Fans of the acclaimed 2010 documentary

“Sweetgrass” will find much to appreciate in “Le Quattro Volte,” the second feature, at once leisurely and revelatory, from Italian writer-director Michelangelo Frammartino. Like “Sweetgrass,” “Le Quattro Volte” (translated: “The Four Times”) unfolds in long, wordless takes that only seem mundane. But “Le Quattro Volte” is fiction, telling the story of various life cycles in the Calabrian hills; a gnarled old man, some goats, a tree. The old man is a goatherd who takes a mixture of water and dirt from the church floor for his unspecified ailments, and we watch as he shuffles through his days, loyal dog at his heel. There’s death, there’s birth, and there’s a more literal transmutation, as we see the process by which wood become charcoal.

Frammartino’s camera moves slowly, his beautiful, natural images looking like paintings until something happens.

Although, sometimes nothing happens.

“Le Quattro Volte” is supremely assured filmmaking, shot through with sadness, humor, and wonder, often simultaneously and in unexpected places.

This attractive historic house at 861 North Winton Road recalls an earlier time when the area consisted of farms and open land. Built in 1873, the wood clapboard, vernacular farmhouse is one of several 19th century residences spaced intermittently among the 20th century residential and commercial neighborhoods that now define the street. Imagine this winter scene: a narrow dirt road, crossing a creek, leading up a slight hill to this house next to a large oak tree. A black and white photograph of this very view is displayed in the house. The huge old oak tree still stands next to the driveway, along with other mature trees in the front yard that provide a sense of time and place.

A pleasant porch offers a welcome introduction to the 1764 square foot house.

The entrance door brings you into a small vestibule where there’s a door to an updated powder room and an opening to the dining room. This cozy room is paneled with knotty pine—a popular element of the mid-20th century—and features a brick fireplace with a stove insert. To the right of this room is a large galley-style kitchen with new appliances. Contemporary pegged wood floors cover these areas. Behind the dining room is a small office space, which is part of a later addition to the house that also includes an enclosed porch and a spare bedroom. The latter two spaces are unheated, but could easily be winterized.

Opposite the dining room is a spacious

living room with a chair rail, wainscoting and built-in bookcases.

The second floor contains two sizeable bedrooms and a large, newly updated full bath. The master bedroom features the original, refinished wide-plank pine floors, a cozy window seat and several closets.

Another closet in the hall could easily become a handy laundry area. The second bedroom is paneled in knotty pine.

The driveway leads to a detached onecar garage. Attractive fencing surrounds a deep and spacious yard with mature trees, numerous perennial gardens, and a patio.

Besides being a beautiful spot, it’s an ideal play area for children and/or pets.

This property, on .31 acres, is located in an attractive residential neighborhood on North Winton Road, just north of the Main Street intersection. Neighborhood amenities include pedestrian friendly sidewalk-lined streets, Tryon County Park, easy access to I-590, as well as the popular shops, restaurants and services all along Winton Road. The North Winton Village is an active neighborhood association that organizes an annual fall arts festival and other neighborhood activities. This property is being offered at $125,000.

Fun

[ rehabilitating mr. wiggles ] BY neil swaab

[ news of the weird ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD At press time, Melinda Arnold, 34, was waiting to hear whether her mother would be accepted as an organ donor for her daughter -- with the organ being the mom’s womb. Melinda (a nurse from Melbourne, Australia) was born without one (though with healthy ovaries and eggs), and if the transplant by Swedish surgeon Mats Brannstrom of Gothenburg University is successful, and Melinda later conceives, her baby will be nurtured in the very same uterus in which Melinda, herself, was nurtured.

(Womb transplants have been performed in rats and, with limited success, from a deceased human donor.)

Government in Action — A British manufacturer, BCB International, is flourishing, buoyed by sales of its Kevlar underwear, at $65 a pair, to U.S. military personnel in Afghanistan and Iraq. However, soldiers and Marines must buy them directly; the “Bomb Boxers” are not supplied by the Pentagon even though nearly 10 percent of battlefield explosive-device injuries result in sometimes-catastrophic genital and rectal damage. According to an October report in Talking Points Memo, the Pentagon’s currently issued protection is inferior to BCB’s but is less expensive. (Although the Pentagon fully funds post-injury prostheses and colostomies, it could purchase about 7,700 Bomb Boxers for the price of a single Tomahawk missile.)

— In what a cement company executive said is “one of those bureaucratic things that doesn’t make any sense,” the city of Detroit recently built wheelchair ramps at 13 intersections along Grandy Street, despite knowing that those ramps are either not connected to sidewalks or connected to seldom-used, badly crumbling sidewalks.

The ramps were required by a 2006 lawsuit settlement in which Detroit pledged to build ramps on any street that gets re-paved, as Grandy was. (No one in city government thought, apparently, to attempt a trade of these 13 intersections for paving 13 morewidely used ones in the city.)

— A Chicago Tribune/WGN-TV investigation revealed in September and October the astonishing result that Illinois laws passed in 1997 and 2007 at the behest of organized labor have given at least three former union leaders lifetime government pensions as if they had been city or state employees, totaling an estimated drain on public budgets of about $7 million.

Two teachers’ union officials were allowed to teach exactly one day to qualify, and an engineers’ union official was hired for exactly one day, with the remainder of the service of the three having been on the payroll of the respective unions. A September Tribune report estimated that perhaps 20 other union officials might have been eligible under similar provisions.

Great Art! — It was haute couture meeting haute cuisine at the Communication Museum in Berlin in November, as prominent German chef Roland Trettl introduced his fashions (displayed on live models) made from food, including a tunic of octopus, a miniskirt of seaweed, a trouser suit made with lean bacon, a scarf of squid ink pasta, and a hat woven from lettuce. The museum director (presumably without irony) said the items were “provocative” and “raise(d) questions.”

— Veteran New York City performance artist Marni Kotak, 36, gave birth to her first child, Ajax, on Oct. 25 -- and that was her “art,” as the birth took place at the Microscope Gallery in Brooklyn, N.Y., after Kotak had moved into the space two weeks earlier to interact with visitors. Previously, Kotak had “re-enacted,” as her “art,” both her own birth and the loss of her virginity in the back seat of a car. (A New York Times report suggested that Kotak may not be the most extreme performer in her family.

Her artist-husband, Jason Martin, makes videos in which he dresses as a wolf or dog and “conducts seance-like rituals intended to contact the half-animal, half-human creatures that visited him in dreams as a child.”)

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 38 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take part in an adventure and you will encounter someone who grabs your attention. You’ll be enchanted by the interests and concerns this person talks about.

Let your mind wander and engage in the romantic possibilities that can develop.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Love can be a gamble. You can have fun without going overboard. If someone really wants to get to know you better, conversation over a cup of java will suffice.

Lay your cards on the table; you’ll see very quickly who is interested and who isn’t.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Set a romantic atmosphere and you will be hard to resist. Love is highlighted, and good fortune in the romance department is heading your way. If the moment feels right, make a commitment from the heart that will spell out your intentions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are likely to fall for the wrong person. Don’t let someone’s appearance and bravado cloud your vision. The more reserved individual waiting patiently to talk to you will have far more to say in the end. Judge the people you meet on quality and manners.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You need a change of pace, place and people. Getting out and trying new things will lead to an interesting encounter with someone who can match you every step of the way. Enjoy the intimate moments and the chance to start a long-term relationship.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Put more emphasis on having fun, enjoying friends and not taking life too seriously. Becoming too intimate with someone you don’t know that well will lead to disappointment. Protect your heart and your assets when it comes to love. Better to be safe than sorry.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t let your emotions get in the way of having fun with friends, relatives and neighbors. Your attitude will draw interest or lead to someone setting you up with the perfect blind date. Having an open mind will allow you to see past minor flaws.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Good fortune will come through the connections you make while traveling or communicating with people who can offer you more knowledge about an interest you have. The gateway to a solid love relationship is having lots in common to share as a couple.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be careful what you wish for.

Someone you think you have to chase is likely to be playing the same game that you are. Step back and see what happens before you make promises or a commitment that you may not want to live up to.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Keep a close watch on someone who is being overly nice and accommodating. You may have something this person wants, and the price may be costly. Stick close to home and to people you have known a long time. Ulterior motives are apparent.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your heart is in the right place, but making up your mind will be another story. You’ll get a lot of interest from potential partners, but not all are created equal. Take your time; you will soon realize who is good for you and who isn’t.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Someone asking too many questions may not have your best interest at heart. Don’t hand out personal information that discloses what you are worth or where you live. Keeping a mysterious front now will add to your charm and benefit you in the end.
