Brew Time

When Good Beer Goes Bad I love that fresh glass of beer on most days. However, there are some instances when the beer I consume doesn’t taste fresh. In fact, it tastes horrible! I’ve had this beer many times in my adult life, but why does this particular one taste “off?” When I was younger, if this were to be my first 10 Minutes From The Casino time trying it, I probably wouldn’t ever have it again. Now I know that would be JOHNNIE’S a crying shame. This is a beer that’s highly PIER 31 rated, that everyone I know keeps talking about, yet I can’t stand it.

✿ HIBACHI ✿ SUSHI

Firudo As I walked into this lovely restaurant on a sunny mid-afternoon in August, I noted two things immediately: the neat, delicately styled but comfortable Asian decor, and a heavenly scent of flowery-fruity-spicey something cooking in the kitchen that made my mouth water!

Now, it’s true, the distinctive spices of Oriental cooking are usually evident in an Asian restaurant, but this time it truly smelled like a “bouquet.” That was why I was both surprised and amused when my hostess, Linda Tian — the owner and manager of the restaurant — greeted me with delicate glass pots of tea and tiny glass teacups, explaining that tea, much like wine, is enhanced each with its own aroma, which is part of the delight of sipping tea as a pick-me-up, or wind-me-down mid-afternoon.

In fact, she encourages friends to stop by for an afternoon cup of tea and some of the delightful teacakes and biscuits that accompanied my tea, suggesting this midafternoon lull as a time when things are less hectic and quiet conversation is possible in the sunny, spotless interior.

As I sipped my tea and waited for Tian to have a moment to sit with me, I became aware of a lovely but unexpected soundtrack lilting in the background: not the expected chimes and strings of Oriental music, but beginning with a classical piece, and followed by some new age piano and strings, I eventually found myself listening

Firudo continued from pg 3 to the theme from Game of Thrones — as I nibbled on a shortbread-like biscuit, filled with small chips of nuts, and not so sweet that they would take the edge off an appetite, but perfect if just a little “something” was all that was needed.

Even at this off-hour, the restaurant had a murmur of conversation in the back-

ground, but a serene atmosphere and no sense of being rushed.

Firudo has just had its grand opening here in Syracuse, but Tian’s story began in the United States in New York City. Following the 9/11 event, she moved her restaurant to Oswego, where she owned and operated a restaurant for more than a decade before finally deciding to relocate to Syracuse.

Conveniently located on Erie Boulevard, and with ample parking and easy access, Tian has established herself in the International Community, and hopes to become a regular stop for both that community, and students, as well as the long-time Syracuse resident and diner.

Her cuisine is, as she explains it, based on the Japanese cooking she learned as a child, but with her “picky” sense of taste and her interest in appealing to both the American palate and her own sense of what is good.

Some foods, she explained, are prepared in the more simple and stark Japanese style — lightly grilled fish, for example, chosen for its perfection and the specific cut of the fish that best suits the dish — and then she might add a sauce more Chinese in its complexity of seasonings.

Some foods, like their very popular stir fries, are more “mom” foods, or what we would deem “comfort “ foods: a little more hearty, a little differently seasoned, and a little more “American-Asian.”

She began by serving me some exquisite fried calamari with a special sauce ($6.99). Now full confession: I am not typically a calamari girl. I have had bad luck with it being far too chewy and “fishy” tasting — so I was apprehensive. I shouldn’t have been! Crisped perfectly, the meat was tender and flavorful, and the sauce, which Tian explained to me was a blend of fruits in a creamy base, rendered this one of the most delicious foods I’ve ever eaten! This was brought to the table along with some delightful cold shrimp and vegetable dumplings in a thin wrapper to be dipped in soy sauce. I would have been perfectly content to just gobble these treats up and say “Wonderful!”

But there was more.

Open for lunch and dinner, the restaurant can also handle parties of up to about 30 in a private room, and does catering. They expect to open a full bar soon, and Tian told me her husband’s family has a winery in California, so not only will they be serving special wines from the family vineyard, but they will also enjoy her husband’s expertise in wines to help choose accompaniments to the unique flavors of her kitchen.

Next came a sushi appetizer. By now Americans are acquainted with sushi, but I have to say that this was an unusual dish not only for the delicacy of its flavors, but for the mix of colors and, again, texture. Mixed into a tempting small heap of identically sized bites were yellow tail, white tuna, salmon, and avocado — all lightly

Several plates of fish were brought to us — each served enticingly on a bed of carefully prepared and presented vegetables, and each offering a signature flavor and texture.

Tian told me that each type of fish was prepared according to not only its own characteristics, but also to a blend of cookery that is uniquely her own: she tastes things, and if they don’t taste right to her, she will work on the dish until it’s perfect.

Just like the fish. She is fussy about her selections, and different portions of the fish are used for different dishes prepared at Firudo.

I tried a Chilean Sea Bass ($10.99), which was as flaky and light as could be, lightly seasoned so as not to overpower its delicate white fish flavor and texture.

Firudo continued from pg 5 While I was pondering the flavors, Tian asked for a pot of Ramen soup to be brought out, as we had been discussing the many noodle dishes Asian cooking is famous for — and that the story of Marco Polo and spaghetti is, indeed, true!

About this time, two of Tian’s little ones, a girl about 8 and a boy of perhaps 4 joined us at the table and shared our meal with huge smiles and explanations of what they liked best. This just served to reinforce Tian’s letting me know that the restaurant is not only family friendly, but offers foods that even your fussy little ones will enjoy!

Now I have to pause and explain “ramen soup” to you, as an American. I admit to a guilty pleasure of eating Ramen soup from a package now and again. It’s filling and salty and generally tasty in a back-porch kind of way.

The soup that Tian share with me was something else entirely. The stock, she told me, had been created from simmering beef and beef bones for hours, which was quite clear from the depth of flavor of the broth — you could taste the “health” and richness with each spoonful. It was hearty, complex, delicious, and, as Tian told me, she does pay attention to the healthfulness of her foods. She stresses freshness, flavor, variety, and if it can also be good for you — why not?

Again, I would have contentedly stopped — but there were more delights in store!

Out came two platters, one heaped with barbecued scallops, and an amazingly delicious Chili Red Snapper: grilled red snapper with a sweet chili sauce. This Tian deemed a comfort food — and I will confess of all the many wonderful flavors I experienced, this was perhaps my favorite.

Two platters, one heaped with barbecued scallops, and T an amazingly delicious Chili Red Snapper: grilled red snapper with a sweet chili sauce.

As I nibbled on a bite of this and a forkful of that, Tian explained that she combines not only items and flavors, but methods of cooking to get her desired results: she will sear a piece of meat or fish to seal in the juices and the flavor of the meat or fish itself; then she will add a sauce or some spices, and, depending on the dish, cook it again to seal that flavor into the dish. A final sauce might be added to finalize the medley of tastes.

Syracuse Jazz Fest, and this Fall at Homer Performing Arts Center. Apple Jazz Band has released 5 CDs. Most recently, Ron France and I put together a new band called Funky Jazz Band.

It’s an all instrumental funk/jazz band. We have been playing Wednesdays at Greenwood Winery through the summer. I originally had an instrumental Fusion band with the same name in 1976 and we played at a club called the Spirit of “35, for 18 months. That was my first experience as a band leader.

Funky Jazz Band consists of Ron France is on bass, Ed Vivenzio on keys, Jim O’Mahony on guitar and Brian Scherer is on reeds. We will return next summer to Greenwood and will be playing different venues throughout the Fall/Winter.

Lastly, I have been involved in Filming & recording with producer Tom Emmi on his show entitled Studio Jams. We have taped many here in Syracuse at Subcat Studios, and last summer I taped a show with former student Jon Fishman of Phish, in Philadelphia. The exposure this show has given me is beyond my wildest dreams.

I have had almost 1.5 million views of the songs I have performed on and there are songs yet to be released and more sessions in the future.

CS: Very impressive. Sounds like a lot of fun. Who are the drummers you learn from, or are inspired by?

DH: I get inspired by all good drummers. My early influences were; Sandy Nelson, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, and then I got hip to Elvin Jones, Joe Morello, Tony Williams, Billy Cobham, Louis Bellson etc.

CS: Kit of Choice?

DH: I typically play my Yamaha 5-piece oak set. I have 34-year-old Sonor set I practice on. I use a variety of Cymbals.

CS: You’ve been at it long enough to have collected some memorable moments throughout your musical career....

DH: Well that covers 55 years, so there have been many, but a few that stand out are being a co-clinician with Louis Bellson in 1975 at Dick Grove School of Music in Los Angles to an audience of about 300 drummers. I was playing with a band in Alaska, when Louis asked me to join him. I couldn’t get on a plane fast enough!

Very rewarding & humbling too. Another Syracuse musician, Mark Nanni won same award in the keyboard category! 2 from the Cuse!

CS: Wow. Outstanding. Congratulations. The hard work pays off. Any shareable funny war stories from your colorful days in gig land?

DH: Well … many come to mind … Dove was booked for a week in Vermont. We got fired after our 1st night (which has never happened before or after) so we descended on some college campus’ and played for room & board! We had a ball & students loved it!

Another war story: After two weeks in California in 1975, I joined a band, played a week in San Diego, and then the club owner and his muscle men told the band at end of week we weren’t getting paid! We left with all our limbs intact, but no pay!

CS: Thank you for sharing. What are your thoughts on the CNY music scene?

DH: CNY is filled with excellent bands and musicians! All styles too! Great venues with lots of excellent concerts. It’s a very healthy scene here.

Like most cities, it’s very competitive and always fluid. Ask Ron Wray about our musical history, one filled with great bands and individual musicians throughout the years. Great young players are continuing that tradition here in CNY. CS: When you’re off, who do you go see around

DH: I have also had a career for 35 years in Real Estate. That’s how I put my children through college! It’s been a great blend of careers.

My music is returning to be the more predominant one at this point in my life again. Playing in 3 bands and teaching drums privately takes up some time, plus the marketing, booking, practicing etc. When doing neither, I love the outdoors and walking and swimming and snowshoeing in the winter.

business-cum-romantic relationship with Hawaiian royalty? Impossible.”

Somewhere along Chapter 4 (each chapter has a title, which I have to admit I enjoy — it’s a carry-over from novels I read as a child, and I like the hint of what the chapter will contain), I stopped critiquing and found myself just riding along with the wave of the narrative.

Which is not to say that the book is all those hackneyed descriptives: “a page turner,” “can’t put it down,” “was completely carried away in prose … .”

No, it’s more like it is Itself and Nothing Else, and after a while, you stop fighting for it to be another book written to a formula, and according to Balls & Instincts is exactly as it should be. the rules of grammar and We’re being told a story of a way of life by story arcs and character someone living that life — or at least, the development, and you writer has adopted that voice successfully — simply allow it to take and therein lies the enjoyment of his story. over and lead you where it will: drugs, deals, thugs, who-is-the-good-guy?, graphic “love” scenes (ok, more like the S-word writ large), murders, mayhem, and mischief.

The biggest question I had is: it’s written in the first person as if it’s a memoir, but it’s also hard to believe anyone would acknowledge the kinds of activities the main character engages in. My guess — though at some point I stopped caring whether it was “real” or “make believe” or somewhere in between — is the author knows whereof he speaks, but perhaps more as an observer than a participant.

2 Things Money Can’t Buy & You Can’t Teach Isn’t the Internet a fascinating intelligence?

There are people I know whom I’ve never met, and books I’ve read that aren’t in print. There are shouting matches that are silent, and voyages around the world taken via cell phone.

This book is one of these odd creatures: a self-published electronic book (or paperback, if you prefer), the author is an acquaintance I’ve never met face to face.

Letting it be known that I’d edited a book or two, I was challenged to read this one, though it was too late to truly edit.

As I dug in, I immediately started making line edits in my mind: “Aint needs an apostrophe. He’s changing tense from present to past and back to present — gotta fix that. The narrator is preposterously lucky and/or talented: he falls into a

Balls & Instincts continued from pg 12 But as noted, ultimately it isn’t important. More interestingly, I found myself second guessing my line editing: perhaps this book, to be what it is, is written exactly as it should be: rough, wrong, direct, sometimes even deep.

It’s written in the voice of an original, and that’s what makes it readable and fun. The narrator isn’t going for poetry or the perfect word; rather it’s the drive forward that carries the novel. “I got up and did this and went here and did that and ate this and met her …” all at a relentless pace that simply keeps you Balls & Instincts is a self-published electronic book (or paperback, if you moving with it. prefer), the author is an acquaintance I’ve never met face to face.

Beauty & Fashion

by ERIN REIMEL

Fall Is the Time to Add Some Style into Your Wardrobe September is a month for change. Plenty of us aren’t going back to school but that’s no excuse not to mix things up a little bit. If you’re anything like me, you just need to buy some new clothes and maybe a notebook and some pens this month even though I don’t need them.

There are so many amazing deals at pretty much every store you can think of, so why not switch up your style a bit? Or at least refresh it with some new staple pieces.

I can tell you I’ll be incorporating some new pieces into my look. I never could resist a deal, after all. Here’s what I’ll be buying:

Jeans

You may have noticed jeans getting looser and less structured. I swore I would never stop wearing my high-waisted skinny jeans (they fit me perfectly) but I’m finding myself drawn toward a more casual fit now. Jeans are a part of your wardrobe that you can wear all the time, so investing in a new pair is definitely a do this month. Look for something that still fits at your waist but gives your legs some room to breathe.

I have a feeling it’ll become an everyday kind of piece.

Top

The turtleneck trend was huge last year, but I’m still not over it. Neither are a lot of designers. I love how polished a fitted turtleneck can look tucked into a skirt or under a lighter dress to make it appropriate for fall. It adds just a touch of sophistication. Layer some jewelry over it to make it more interesting or throw a fur jacket on top for a seriously chic ensemble.

I’ve worn flat sandals all summer long because they’re easy to walk in and match pretty much everything I own, but I’ve worn them to death by now and I’m ready for the chillier days of fall when I need a little more to my shoe than a sole and some straps. I’ve got my eye on some black leather loafers this season.

They go with jeans and a top but they’re also perfect for work. Every time I see a pair, I’m immediately drooling. Now just to find the right sale … .

Jacket

This season I’m looking for something a little long and oversized to throw on over my outfits. The runways at New York Fashion Week were full of nautical navy overcoats and I’m thinking that could be the perfect statement for a simple outfit. You can but-

Suicide Squad

Welcome Back

Of all the summer blockbusters that were on the slate for 2016, I’m not sure that there were any as buzzy as SUICIDE SQUAD. Despite the lukewarm reception that met MAN OF STEEL and BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE, SQUAD was poised to be the project that launched the DC Universe into the stratosphere. Taking the unique stance of having a group of ubervillains serving as the protagonists of the adventure, the initial trailers featured plenty of mayhem and sardonic humor. To top it off, Jared Leto’s take on the Joker was already emerging as the stuff that legends are made of. Taking method acting to a whole new level of crazy, he surprised Students! his co-workers with gifts of bullets and a pig carcasses. Some of his fellow cast members thought his

Will Smith flexes his propensity for summer movie magic with his turn as Deadshot. He supplies a few laugh-out-loud moments, and shows that if this flick focused fully on him, Harley Quinn, and the Joker, it might have been something special.

outlandish commitment was inspired insanity, while others admitted feeling uncomfortable with his twisted and outlandish behavior. These stories only helped garner more interest in the production, and the Joker became the focal point of the media barrage the reigned down upon the film.

When word came out that writer/director David Ayers had begun a fair amount of reshoots ahead of the release of SUICIDE SQUAD, it certainly raised some eyebrows. It’s usually not a great sign when a major blockbuster must undergo these types of changes, but hope and anticipation remained high.

To be perfectly honest, like BATMAN V SUPERMAN, I wanted to like SUICIDE SQUAD. I truly did. I figured that whatever shortcomings it may have, the good had to outweigh the bad, right?

If only that were the case.

SUICIDE SQUAD never establishes a tone, and it’s difficult to discern exactly what Ayers and Warner Brothers were going for. It played out like an uneven fusion DEADPOOL, THE FAVORITE SUMMERTIME DESTINATION of AVENGERS, and GUARDOPEN 7 DAYS SEASONAL IANS OF THE GALAXY, A WEEK although it was totally LAKESIDE Sun-Thurs 10am-10pm devoid of the wit and Fri & Sat10am-11pm DINING hilarity that these three OPEN THROUGH Family Owned delivered with ease.

Suicide Squad don’t know the true nature of their mission, but Waller intends to have her ragtag group of villains to bring down Enchantress.

As the squad follows the orders of Waller and Flagg, The Joker (Leto) has an agenda of his own. He has been separated from his beloved Harley Quinn, and will stop at nothing in order to be reunited with his psychopathic betrothed. Through a series of flashbacks, we see the disturbingly bizarre courtship that the two shared, and witness the lengths that the Joker will go to in order to get her back. By all accounts, this disturbing union was going to be a focal point of the film. Instead, it is touched in brief, far too fleeting glimpses.

Because of this, their plot line feels jarringly disjointed, and far less satisfying than it could have been. This Call is easily one of the great travesties ahead for of SUICIDE SQUAD.

Hillary Clinton & Colleen Deacon Vs Donald Trump Hillary and Colleen. Ladies, please, shed fully 100% of second place. Please Vote. This brief historic window provides the opportunity that will remove the stain of feminine inferiority from mankind. This is big. It is your small window that may not appear again for decades. This is your time.

Hillary Clinton is another Eleanor Roosevelt. I was born in Hyde Park. My Dad was the Roosevelt’s Clockmaker in the late 40’s and early 50’s. (Before the boilermakers took him out) Eleanor actually held me one time (I call it babysat) while my Dad was fixing a Clock at the mansion in Hyde Park and Mom was with Eleanor in the foyer. Mom had to check on something and I had my moment of fame. Eleanor was a relentless champion for Women’s rights. She was a formative leader of the League of Women voters. Her achievements in Civil rights are legion. Most notably she wrote the International Declaration of Human Rights, passed by the United Nations, which still has respect worldwide. This Declaration is still the standard and has prevented incalculable suffering and saved countless lives.

Many are not aware that Eleanor Roosevelt enlightened and influenced many, and was significantly instrumental in estab-

Like Hillary Clinton many years ago, Colleen Deacon has embarked on a great journey. Destiny is bringing them together as Human Justice and History finally join in an equality that will move all of humanity forward. Three and a half billion Women will know that they are in full measure an equal part of human destiny. Hillary and Colleen are the future of Central New York and our Country. If you have little ones and you follow these candidates you have no dilemma in this election. Hillary and Colleen will bring us and our children into a bright future with intelligence, common sense and wholesome values while at the same time, with strategic and clear understanding of the world at large they will guide us peacefully into a much better place for mankind. And Donald Trump will still be seeking vengeful ways to demean a Town Councilor from the Town of Podunk buried somewhere in the Rocky Mountains for some perceived insult.

As a former Senator from New York and good friend of Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Hillary will very happily welcome Colleen to Washington to serve as part of the team that literally changes history. Senator Gillibrand has officially endorsed both

Her credentials are enormous and like Hillary Clinton, when you review the course of their lives and see the achievement and decency of these women all your questions are answered. They are American Treasures of the highest order.

And a young Colleen Deacon already has achievements that have set her on a similar course. Colleen has been close to two of the most incredibly decent and respected politicians ever to come out of Central New York. Without question Matt Driscoll was the finest Mayor our great city every produced. From Syrastat, an ingenious budgeting program which generated consistent surpluses, to setting a green course far into the future, Matt Driscoll left a legacy of enduring excellence for our great city. Mayor Driscoll hired Colleen and quickly realized she had the combination of care and ability that were essential to the people. She served as his Press Secretary for six years.

Suicide Squad continued from pg 19

however, that despite the deluge of twisted tales and on-set antics, in the theatrical release, Leto didn’t stand much of a chance. Surely the Joker will factor heavily in the expanding DC universe, but it remains to be seen if Leto will be along for the ride. At the time this review is going to print, the actor hasn’t even seen the final cut of the film, and has openly proclaimed that the project was not the gritty crime-drama he was initially lead to believe.

The central conflict of SUICIDE SQUAD is muddled and under-developed, resulting in a movie that is far less impactful and memorable than it should have been. The villains, Enchantress and Incubus are hollow and dull, and feel more like foot-notes than full-fledged advisories. The action sequences are little more than uninspired footnotes, and not a single one holds a candle to even the tamest sequence in CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR. This aspect serves as yet another glaring disappointment, and belittles the performances in the production.

Salt of the Earth Having written about cholesterol and saturated fats I now turn the Eye of Sauron towards another perennial topic which is sodium restriction.

Excessive salt intake can raise your blood pressure and increase your risk for heart attack and stroke. So if salt (sodium chloride) is bad for you it should be restricted. Lower salt intake should result in less heart disease and stroke. Unfortunately this just isn’t the case. As you will read below, cutting down on your salt intake too much can be dangerous. You shouldn’t sprinkle salt on your food even before you taste it. Even today the American Heart Association states that dietary sodium should be restricted to less Excessive salt intake can raise your blood pressure and increase your than 1,500 mg a day. This guideline is risk for heart attack and stroke. exceeded by 95% of Americans! Even if you accept this premise the experts say this will only reduce your blood pressure by a few points. Going from 180/100 to 176/96 just isn’t enough to change any clinical outcomes. Don’t get me wrong: Hypertension is a killer. -It’s the main cause of stroke and a leading cause of heart disease and should be treated. Exactly how low to go is still under debate (See the recent Sprint trial). Lowering blood pressure is important. Dramatically restricting salt is just not the way to achieve meaningful results and restricting salt too much can actually have adverse effects as well. I am going to quote from several articles instead of paraphrasing as I usually do because I can’t improve on what’s on the page. Melinda Wenner Moyer wrote in the New York continued on pg 32

Hillary Clinton & Colleen Deacon continued from pg 21 Soon after her tenure as Press Secretary for Mayor Driscoll, Colleen joined Senator Kirsten Gillibrand’s office as Regional Director for Central New York. She served in this position also for six years. Her expertise in connecting local institutions to funding opportunities and government agencies won much high regard. Colleen understood how to find the most productive avenues for government to work with others to solve problems and strengthen our region. She worked diligently with business, manufacturers, not-for-profits, educational institutions and community groups on federal issues for elected officials. Colleen is untainted and would bring desperately needed common sense and good judgement to Washington D.C. Donald Trump has progressed into an American tragedy. His disturbing thinking is depriving the people of an issue oriented election. Trump lost me long before he even decided to run. When he called Rosie O’Donnell a Fat ass ugly pig it was clear to me that there was little “Manhood” attached to him or his success. In Trump’s case, he began with an unbelievable silver spoon, his Father’s money and contacts. Most of us could and would build an empire with this kind of silver spoon. But in any event, even if you choose to credit him with success, he would be among the twisted. Most importantly to know and understand is that he literally “can” be baited by a tweet. Our enemies would have a field day playing with his head. His sense of self, accompanied by a twisted dispassionate ease to degrade are beacons of serious threat. His candidacy is now an American absurdity. I have a handicapped son. You don’t have to be in this position to understand the absolute degraded mindset it takes to verbally insult and physically mock those with life shattering handicaps. His public condescending reference to Megyn Kelly’s menstrual cycle exposed thinking beyond low life crassness. His choice of degradation shows clearly what he thinks of women and of feminine judgment. He also was not aware Russia invaded Ukraine and cannot understand why nuclear weapons should not be used. Then casually saying on international television: “If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know” and denying the ramifications that went through the mind of every nut job on the planet is beyond acceptable absurdity. It is clear he has a barrier that restricts good sense. His indifference to potentially influencing assassination is beyond belief. I was around for the assassinations of John

I worked 16 er, Serge Kovaleski. -Bill McClellan years to finally achieve the opportunity to secure my life. We were civilians engaged at the airport to solve a serious problem. We did this. We were not a political plum. She took my retirement and handicapped sons inheritance with cruel indifference. I later worked as Pat Hogan’s Field Director on his run for Mayor. I heard firsthand the stories of her dispassion from many professionals. Their integrity and her cruelty made me feel ill. We are talking about ongoing cruelty hidden in deceit, not even close to isolated. Just for starters ask any former Councilor in the last 7 years. My goal is not vendetta, but to remove her from any government position where others are her charge. It is simply who she is. Smart and deceiving with a heart that is not offended by the pain of others.

This is the time for women to walk as tall as ever. I am excited. That at this historical window in time, at this precious opportunity, a woman also exists that can fill this great dream and lead with great vision and integrity into a proud future. Half of the humans on this planet, previously denied through all time, will finally have the hope and the ability to honestly share in any dream. And most men will rejoice as well, as the human condition has become aware that evolving into full equality in the human condition is critical to the success and justice of what we are and where we are going. In Central New York we are indeed fortunate to have Colleen Deacon, a proven candidate viewed with great respect and regard among the finest leaders ever to come from Central New York, Mayor Matthew Driscoll and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand to name a few. She will be needed to break gridlock and open paths in Washington so that the finest that humans can be, have a path forward.

These are not meant to be fancy words. They are meant to show truth. Opposing view has been prejudiced by political bias, exaggeration, self-interest and greed.

When you eliminate these false determinants you are left with the truth: Hillary Clinton is a rare, caring, fabulous, strong and decent human being with enormous attributes that once unleashed in the White House will guide this country with patriotic excellence. She will polish our course and lead us with true greatness into a future where we never lose the integrity of our proud tears as we Salute our Flag and sing the humbling music of our great land. America is meant to be the beacon for decency and advancement among mankind. America is meant to be the finest that humans can be and to guide the way. Without this mankind will fail. Such endeavor requires the best of what we are. Hillary Clinton and Colleen Deacon, in full measure exemplify this so hallowed American pursuit. January 20, 2017. One step for women. A truly new beginning for mankind.

We like extend the visitation period for Montezuma, Long Point, Treleaven and Six Mile Creek wineries so that more people have time for their trip around the lake.

Weight Loss VS. Fat Loss

ONONDAGA NATION ARENA

Are you sure you’re losing fat?

THE ONONDAGA NATION

This month I have a topic to discuss that I think will interest everyone. A lot of us get confused or don’t fully understand the difference between weight loss and fat loss. To many of us, if we see the numbers on the scale going down it’s a victory.

I think this is a topic that leaves a lot of us (especially the ladies) perplexed, and it’s something that unfortunately, despite our best efforts, is a message that gets lost in translation, especially within the mainstream media.

With this said, below is a conversation between yours truly and a client of mine.

Client: Hey Jennifer, it’s been a while Many People focus too much on since I’ve been in and I’m so excited to what the scale tells them instead start training again! I still have some of going by how their clothes fit or things I’d like to work on in terms of how they look in the mirror. increasing my strength, but I’m getting married in six months and I really want to focus on losing weight. I would like to lose fifty pounds before the wedding.

Do you have any suggestions for me?

Me: Hey Christine. It’s great to hear from you and congrats on your upcoming wedding! I’m so excited to hear that you’re coming back. In regards to the weight loss question. You need to remember that there is a huge difference between weight loss and fat loss. Wouldn’t you rather lose twenty five pounds, look amazing in your dress and have a sculpted physique than lose fifty pounds and look the same?

Far too often I have clients that focus too much on what the scale tells them instead of going by how their clothes fit or how they look in the mirror. Weight loss can be completely subjective, and the truth of the of matter is the scale really doesn’t tell the whole story.

If I told you to not eat for eight hours, you would weigh less. If I told you to not drink water for a day, you would weigh less. If I told you to stop snacking after dinner, you would weigh less. In all three scenarios you would weigh less, but does that really mean you made any significant progress?

Client: Um, no.

Me: Sure, you weigh less, but you really haven’t accomplished anything. There’s no shape, form or contour to your body and as soon as you go back to your normal eating habits you will go right back to your original weight. Then what will you do?

I think it’s not necessarily an education thing, but rather a behavioral issue that we need to address. It’s all about changing your behavior. You know that it’s not the best idea to ever forego a home cooked meal in lieu of hitting up a fast food restaurant on your way home from work. You know that eating a giant plate of pasta on a day you’re not hitting the gym probably isn’t the best idea. You know all of this. So why do you continue to do it?

How most of us approach weight loss is wrong. We need to change our mindset. continued on pg 31

My Mind To Yours

by DEBRA MERRYWEATHER

Past Perfect Tense The world and everything in it, ourselves included, consist of moving parts.

An adult brain consumes twenty to thirty percent of that adult’s energy. An infant’s brain consumes 60%. Many of us are just starting to hear the news that, even while asleep, and infants sleep most of the day, our neural systems work to process daily sensory events and consolidate memory. Simplistically put, our environment and the people in it feed us energy and information that our bodies and brains then filter, storing what we need and eliminating the rest.

This September, like every September, crowds of little children with growing bodies and brains the same size as the teacher’s brain will file into classrooms. Once seated behind their desks, the teachers will encourage them to sit still so they can pay attention, learn and compete for good evaluations at what are truly their first jobs.

Earlier this summer, the CBS Nightly News reported that sitting six hours or more each day damages the heart. CBS featured footage of adults working at standing desks and adults exercising in gyms after work. Research links heart disease and diabetes to diet and sometimes heredity, but prolonged sitting that restricts one’s circulatory system certainly takes its toll. Long airplane rides have proven to be a health risk. Childhood diabetes and heart disease

Crowds of little children will soon be seated behind their desks in their classrooms and their teachers will encourage them to sit still so they can pay attention, learn and compete for good evaluations at what are truly their first jobs.

are on the rise. The CBS report did not mention children.

A recent NY Times Op-Ed piece suggests that an adult working for thirty minutes should ideally break that work time down as follows: 20 minutes seated, eight minutes standing and two minutes walking. A short walk improves oxygen circulation and often clears the mind. Still, I can only imagine the challenges a seventh grade teacher might face when twenty five selfmotivated students decide at different points during American History Class that they need to stretch their legs to think better.

Of course, we adults might benefit if walks after the evening news incontinued on pg 42

Weight Loss Vs. Fat Loss continued from pg 29 We need to start thinking in terms of fat loss, not weight loss. Our ultimate goal should be to maintain as much muscle as possible (even better, build some muscle) and focus on reducing our body fat and changing our overall physique.

Did you know that one pound of muscle weighs the EXACT same as one pound of fat? The difference, however, is that muscle is more dense than fat and takes up less space. In fact, one pound of fat takes up eighteen percent more space than one pound of muscle.

I’m not necessarily saying that you should toss your scale into the trash, but what I am saying is that if you’ve been training your ass off and you step on the scale and see that it hasn’t changed, you shouldn’t let it upset you! Muscle is more dense than fat so those few pounds of muscle that you’ve gained will make you look better.

I know you’ve heard this from me a thousand times, but when it comes to fat loss, almost always, nutrition is going to be the biggest determining factor.

So, let me ask you this? How confident would you feel about eliminating fast food or soda from your daily regimen?

If this doesn’t seem like an easy task for you to accomplish, we need to take a step back and figure out a better approach. When you are able to figure out a way to successfully accomplish a consistent behavior, you will really start to see a difference.

Remember: YOU CANNOT OUTTRAIN A POOR DIET. I repeat. You. Can. Not. Out. Train. A. Poor. Diet. It’s just not going to happen. I can put you through a workout that will make you hate life, but it’s not going to matter if we don’t tackle the nutritional side of things.

Let me throw another analogy at you. If we know that fat loss is mostly determined by calories in vs. calories out, which seems to be a more efficient use of our time: A) Spending an hour on the treadmill burning off approximately three hundred and fifty to five hundred calories Or B) Electing not to eat that bag of M&Ms before bed?

From a time efficiency standpoint, and with fat loss as the goal, nutrition is going to trump exercise (in terms of better use of our time) no matter what.

In Conclusion

You should always be thinking ahead. What can you do each day to bring you one step closer to your goals?

Find a place where you feel confident that you can be successful. If you are sincerely making an effort and putting in the work, you’re going to get results. Period.

Focus less on weight loss and more on fat loss! Make the decision to exercise daily and lead a healtheir lifestyle. Be good to your body and your body will be good to you. Keep muscle, burn fat and lose inches. It’s simply a better way to lose weight.

Salt of the Earth continued from pg 24 Times reporting on a 2006 American Journal of Medicine study: they “compared the reported daily sodium intakes of 78 million Americans to their risk of dying from heart disease over the course of 14 years. It found that the MORE sodium people ate, the less likely they were to die from heart disease.“ Don’t like that study? Too old to be relevant? How about a July 2011 meta-analysis of seven studies involving over six thousand people — published in the American Journal of Hypertension — this study “found no strong evidence that cutting salt intake reduces the risk for heart attacks, strokes or death in people with normal or high blood pressure. In Many European researchers publishing in the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that the less sodium that study subjects excreted in their urine — an excellent measure of prior consumption — the greater their risk was of dying from heart disease. These findings call into question the common wisdom that excess salt is bad for you, but the evidence linking salt to heart disease has always been tenuous.”

Still not convinced? Want something more recent? The American Journal of Medicine November 2013 had this to say: “The American Heart Association recently strongly recommended a dietary sodium intake of <1500 mg/d for all Americans to achieve “Ideal Cardiovascular Health” by 2020. However, low sodium diets have not been shown to reduce cardiovascular events in normotensive individuals or in individuals with pre-hypertension or hypertension. Moreover, there is evidence that a low sodium diet may lead to a worse cardiovascular prognosis in patients with cardiometabolic risk and established cardiovascular disease. Low sodium diets may adversely affect insulin resistance, serum lipids, and neurohormonal pathways, leading to increases in the incidence of new cardiometabolic disease, the severity of existing cardiometabolic disease, and greater cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Although a high sodium intake also may be deleterious, there is good reason to believe that sodium intake is regulated within such a tight physiologic range that there is little risk to leaving sodium intake to inherent biology as opposed to likely futile attempts at conscious control.”

You have to wonder how the Heart Association can make such a drastic recom-

Don’t be afraid of salt but don’t go crazy either. Most importantly check your blood pressure periodically and if it is elevated get it down with diet, exercise and medications as needed. mendation when it comes to sodium restriction in the face of these findings? I don’t get it but I don’t get the dietary fat recommendations either.

Until there is real science behind the guidelines I think you are best off following a moderate path. Don’t be afraid of salt but don’t go crazy either. Most importantly check your blood pressure periodically and if it is elevated get it down with diet, exercise and medications as needed. Don’t make the pills your first choice! Talk with your doctor about potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride because there IS evidence that a higher potassium diet may actually lower blood pressure! And you don’t have to take potassium pills; you can find plenty of potassium in mushrooms, bananas, green veggies etc. That’s right, healthy eating can lower your blood pressure! Why not give it a try … Utica Greens are still in season.

Several years ago in this column I followed the adventures of the blonde semi-tech and her exploits with various technical challenges on her computers.

For a while now, life has been quiet — humming along (though granted, rather loudly in the case of one computer, whose fan, unlike the ultra-quiet MacBook Air, seemed to run at about Mach 6 all the time) as it should.

But not long ago, two, count them 2 external drives failed.

Both are the same make/model — Western Digital My Passport. One of them I was able to recover. The jury (not to mention the data) are still out as I write this.

What happened? In the case of one drive, I have no idea. I put it in the freezer and promptly forgot about it, so clearly none of the data was critical. Just recently, I went to put the second one in (I will explain shortly) and found the old one. I swapped them, and the one that had been in deep freeze for who knows how long started up and ran long enough for me to pull my data off of it. (The trick is that sometimes — SOMEtimes — a drive, internal or external — will start up again and give you enough time to extract your data if you cool it down sufficiently.)

In the case of the other drive, I traveled with it, and I can only imagine that in tossing it around inside a tiny airplane cabin I somehow managed to make the drive unhappy and some internal mechanism is refusing to behave.

Circling back on the freezer episode: a hard drive isn’t all that complex a mechanism: a power source, spinning plates, a data link. The difficult part is that the tolerances in a drive, particularly ones designed for laptops or for a small, portable drive, continued on pg 40

The Blonde’s Further Adventures continued from pg 36 are very small. So if some dust or debris gets into a critical area, it can stop the plates from spinning. If an element in the drive is touching something it shouldn’t and gets a little too hot, the metal can expand and thus prevent the device from spinning up.

Sometimes tapping it lightly can dislodge a particle that’s jamming up the works.

Sometimes the connector/power cord can lose a tiny wire to wear and tear and not have enough power to supply the device. In other words, there are many reasons why very miniaturized devices with small, moving bits and pieces, can fail.

That doesn’t mean, of course, that your data is “gone.” It can be oh so close, and oh so far away.

So. when calamity strikes, here (in my particular order) is how you reach the point of “call a pro!”

First try to unplug the device and plug it back in, in hopes that it was a poor connection and your computer will recognize the device. (If it makes a happy sound - so far so good!)

Feel it to see if it’s spinning, or if you can feel a clicking or failing attempt to spin up. Gently shake or tap it — if something has gotten out of alignment or a small spec of something is jamming the plates, you might get lucky and shake it out.

Try changing the cord, and the port you’re plugging into. Either could be bad, or failing.

If you’re at the click but nothing more stage, you can try the freezer trick — wrapping the drive up good and tight and waterproof, stick it in the cold for an hour or so. Try again. You may just buy enough time to move the data off before it fails for good.

If, at this point, nothing else works, there are further steps you can take (such as recovery software that may or may not work, and, if you’re so inclined, opening the drive itself to see if you can spot a problem. But this is where I call a pro — depending upon the importance of my data — and spend the money up to and including the time it would take me to replace my data and hope that, in skilled hands, my drive will give up the goods.

I’ve got a call in now. I’ll let you know how it goes!

Attempts at humor fail miserably, the characters are shockingly onedimensional, and even the considerably talented cast

by BRIAN MILLER members can do nothing to save this stinker. The scenery, which is meant to be a bewitching and magical mix of lush, lavish countrysides, and Elsa-inspired frozen wastelands, has already been seen To say that we are in an era of unnecessary sequels is almost as redundant as the dozens of times in various productions themselves. There are bound to be a few that find a way to succeed, of course. FINDING DORY, for example, easily ranks amongst the best films of 2016. For (and far superior) other every DORY, however, there is a head-scratcher that leaves audiences baffled and dis- productions. Slow-motion jumps, slightly steamy PGappointed. It seems that any big-budget film that finds itself on the profitable side 13 sex-scenes, and snarly of the margin is bound to spawn a follow-up, whether it’s truly warranted or not. sword-battles are utilized THE HUNTSMAN: WINTER’S WAR, is the epitome of Hollywood absurdity. Its frequently, and I couldn’t predecessor, SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN, while by no means a spectacular help but think that direcfilm, did provide a few moderate doses of entertainment. The majority of these tor Cedric Nicolas-Troyan moments were due to the gleefully over-the-top performance of Charlize Theron, had a standard actionwho embraced her inner evil as Queen Ravenna.

The Huntsman: DOn paper, WINTER’S WAR has all the makings of a surefire hit. The cast list include I’m still puzzled as to why Hemswhorth, Theron, Emily Blunt, Jessica Chastain, and Nick Frost. With a roster like this, things would have to go horrifically wrong for it to fall flat on its face, right? WINTER’S WAR was given the green light to begin with, but hopefully it will slam the door on this franchise Well, that’s exactly what happened in this agonizingly absurd dud. with a resounding thud.

After a betrayal by her beloved, and the death of her child, Freya (Blunt) goes (frozen) bananas. As the sister of the Ravenna (Theron), she already has magic and madness coursing through her veins. After fleeing the kingdom in an attempt to establish her own reign, she freezes the land around her and orders her minions to kidnap all of the children in every nearby village and town. She molds them into an army of ruthless savages who ravage the countryside, dropping crowns and orphans at her feet. Her two top pupils, Eric (Hemsworth) and Sarah (Chastain) grow into brutal and efficient killers.

FEATURING: The Brae Lock Inn, Clinton Street Pub, Despite their propensity for murder and mayhem, Eric and Sarah still have love King David’s, Funny Bone, Mohegan Manor, in their hearts. They secretly marry and eagerly plan their escape. Before they can Skarkey’s Bar & Grill, Tokyo Seoul plus many more! hit the road, however, Freya discovers their union, and simply won’t stand for it. In an obligatory battle that allows Eric and Sarah to execute a number of carefully choreographed maneuvers against a horde of former friends, the Queen forces one of her men to slay Sarah, and has an injured and brokenhearted Eric chucked into an icy river.

From here, WINTER’S WAR flash-forwards seven years. Eric, now known as The Huntsman, has helped Snow White topple Freya’s big sis. All seems right in the world until the magic mirror begins wielding its dark power once again. The Huntsman is enlisted to track it down and have it destroyed. With his dwarf companions Nion (Frost) and Gryff (Rob Brydon) he sets out on his quest. Shortly into his journey, he runs into a band of warriors who have been sent to kill him.

There are a handful of elaborate, effects-laden action sequences in THE HUNTSMAN: WINTER’S WAR, yet none of these provide even the slightest form of entertainment. Dull and uninspired, they are virtually the same ones you saw in the original HUNSTMAN, with a fair amount of Middle-Earth, MALIFICENT, and NARNIA tossed in for good measure. These scenes do little to enhance the production in any way, and are feeble and wholly unnecessary attempts build upon an already tedious runningtime.

Past Perfect Tense continued from pg 30 creased our oxygen intake, improving cognition and expanding our understanding of the links between past history, its causal chain, and today’s effects.

This November, as in November 2008 and 2012, voters will elect a president.

I listened to Donald Trump’s speech in Detroit and to President Barack Obama’s speech to the Democratic National Convention. I took notes while Mr. Trump addressed the economy. When President Obama spoke of his Scots-Irish roots and the values he learned from his mother and his maternal grandparents who helped raise him, I took note. The elections of President Obama and candidacies of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton reflect different aspects of incremental social change here and fear of changes taking place over there.

Mr. Trump’s Detroit speech specifically referred to Upstate NY as a disaster implying that Japan’s economic rise, job loss in the US, Chinese trade, and Islamic extremism started affecting our nation in 2008. I have lived in CNY my entire life and, in the early 1990’s, studied Labor and Public Policy in a graduate program. My studies and observation inform me that economic horsepower started exiting our local industrial barn doors before NAFTA was a twinkle in its author’s eye. The preceding sentence, no humor intended, is an example of the past perfect tense, a bit of grammar I learned while trying hard to keep my moving parts immobile behind my elementary school desk so a “D” in “Deportment” wouldn’t overshadow my “A’s” and “B’s”.

I for one do not feel nostalgic for the ear twisting, some of it ideological, that took place during the supposedly happier past. For many, the past was far from perfect and often tense, instilling, sometimes, smiling sedentary passivity.

As adults, we can pick our own poison or not. AARP suggests senior citizens should study something new, socialize and walk. I’ve enjoyed walking and talking about current events, but I am starting not to. Daniel Patrick Moynihan said we are entitled to our own opinions but not to our own facts. Modern

For many, the past was far from perfect and often tense, instilling, sometimes, smiling sedentary passivity.

history suggests to me that extreme “isms” only seem extreme when those “isms” are not our “isms.”

Childhood experience reflects the colors of adult life. I remember teachers and classmates relating better to the class clowns than to the bookworm types who always raised their hands to try to give the right answers and for some, if the answers from the book you read at the library didn’t agree with answers in the book you read in class, you were graded deficient. We are grading each other deficient now.

It takes time to review the multiple sides of any question.

Rigid dogmatism always hampers egalitarianism but not vice versa.
