BAD LIEUTENANT & TALHOTBLOND
by: Brian Miller
It’s been nearly 18 years since BAD LIEUTENANT shocked both audiences and critics alike with
its uncompromising content. Rated NC-17 during its initial theatrical run, the Harvey Keitel vehicle
was chock full of sex, drugs, and violence. Arriving on DVD in April was the sequel (of sorts) to that
groundbreaking project, BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS. Sharing none of the
same characters, setting, or storylines, it exists as a new incarnation of the Bad Cop tale.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, detectives Terence McDonagh (Nicolas Cage) and Stevie
Pruit (Val Kilmer) enter a flooded police station in an effort to retrieve some personal property for
another officer. While there, they discover that there is a prisoner still locked in one of the holding
cells. Going against his original instincts (and the wishes of his partner), he takes off his jacket, and
jumps in the water. Though it is unclear exactly what happened in the bowels of the station, it’s
apparent that something went horribly wrong. With a back injury that will result in a life of ever-
lasting, excruciating pain, the doctor informs him that he will need to have a permanent prescription
of Vicotin. Despite his vow to his co-workers and superiors that he will only take what he has been
prescribed, McDonagh quickly becomes addicted to much harder narcotics. Which drugs does he start
to abuse, you may ask? Well, that answer is simple. All of them.
With an affinity for pain pills, crack, heroin, and weed, McDonagh struggles to keep his head
straight while spearheading an investigation into the brutal slaying of an entire family. Toss in his
complicated love affair with a prostitute named Frankie (Eva Mendes) and you have a man whose
entire existence is spiraling out of control.
Director Werner Herzog’s film is a bit of an enigma; intriguing in one moment, and infuriating in
another. The story is entertaining and intense, and the seedy New Orleans backdrop works perfectly
for a tale such as this. Cage is phenomenal, making McDonagh’s deterioration achingly realistic. His
physical transformation is legitimately believable, and his ability to portray the Lieutenant’s mental
collapse evokes many of the actor’s greatest performances. It was exciting to see Cage get back
into the same groove as we saw in LEAVING LAS VEGAS, 8MM, and FACE/OFF, and not the one
we suffered through in NEXT and WICKER MAN. And while Cage thrives throughout, the content
itself is baffling at
times. Whether we

BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS: B-
It’s not often that a

documentary features the
narration of a dead man, but
that’s exactly how Barbara
Schroeder’s extraordinary
film, TALHOTBLOND,
begins. Throughout the
years, there have been
countless feature-length
doc’s and television exposes
that have investigated the
sordid lives of senseless
killers. Out of all these, you
would be hard pressed to
find another murder that
was more puzzling and
pointless than that of Brian
Barrett. In Schroeder’s
captivating feature, we learn
how and why the 22-year-
old was gunned down by a
46-year-old co-worker over
an 18-year-old woman that
neither man had ever met.
In a quiet suburb outside
of Buffalo, a quiet man
named Thomas Montgomery seemed to be living the typical American
life. The ex-marine was married, had two young daughters, and a steady
job at a local factory. From the outside looking in, he was your average

SOUNDS OF SYRACUSE

In addition to the Music Mavericks, Lisa has produced a series called
“Naked.” In the “Naked” series, she featured herself and other singer/
songwriters; performing their music in a stripped down setting. In most
cases, this meant the songwriter themselves, alone on stage with their
voice and their instrument of choice.
Lisa was not resting with the Music Mavericks or with the Naked
series. She was also out and about, performing both solo and with
a full band. In the summer of 2007, she collected her first SAMMY
(I’m guessing it won’t be her last) for her CD called “A Very Country
Compilation”.
Not content to sit back and enjoy her successes, Lisa was taking her
passion and her compassion to higher levels at every opportunity. Lisa
could be seen performing at many charity events. And if this was not
enough, Lisa started her own charity organization called “Music Heals
CNY,” to bring music to the bedsides of patients in local hospitals. This
includes recorded music as well as live bedside performances.
There are many other lines in the resume of Lisa Gentile. Many of
her accomplishments were accumulated outside of Central NY. The fact
that Lisa returned to her hometown of Syracuse to perform, nurture and
enrich speaks volumes. We are fortunate to have her in our community
and I am blessed to have her as a friend. I look forward to seeing
yet another live performance, to hearing a future recording or simply
bumping into her while she is out supporting other local musicians.
Visit www.lisagentile.com for more information on Lisa. You don’t
want to miss an opportunity to hear her perform.
While Jack O Bocchino has become established as a strong supporter
of live and local music scene, he prefers to consider it partial payment to
the local music community for the support and entertainment they have
given him over many years. He dabbles in amateur photography and
posts many photos of local musicians on a Facebook page, which can be
found by searching on his name.

HULLAR’S
by: Nadine VandeWalker
Have you ever pulled up to a

restaurant you’ve never been to before,
and just known you were going to have
a great dinning experience?
This is just what happened to
me when I arrived at Hullar’s in
Fayetteville.
Nestled in the middle of town,
this place is a gem! We arrived on a
warm Thursday evening in early April
around 6:30 pm. The bar was so full all
I could think was this must be a great
place to meet friends for a drink and
dinner. There was a contagious energy,
laughter and chatter that made you
want to just pull up a stool and join the
fun at the bar! Not to mention it would
be a great place to catch a game on
one of the two large flat screen TV’s on
both ends of the bar.
Hullar’s has been in the family
since 1911. It’s currently owned and
operated by Jake Hullar III and his
family: Maria, Susan, Nanette and Nadia. when you enter and

CLASH OF THE TITANS
by: Brian Miller
For those heading into CLASH OF THE TITANS looking for another
stunning, entertaining, mind-blowing, effects-driven masterpiece
(a la AVATAR), I hate to ruin the suspense so
early in the review, but you are not going to
find it here. While there is an endless stream of
special effects in the film from start to finish,
it never feels like the dazzling display you had
hoped to find.
Serving as a remake of the 1981 classic,
the story is a familiar one. A young boy named
Perseus is found floating in the sea, only to
be picked up by a fisherman and his wife.
Accepting the infant as if he were their own, he
is raised to be a hard-working, honest young
man. But, when a group
of humans declare war on
the Gods, Perseus’ (Sam
Worthington) family is
accidentally (well, sort of)
killed by the Underworld

measure. A large athlete (who generally weighs much more than the
average person) can easily throw off various tests dependent upon his/
her weight. On the other hand, it is possible to drop weight without
affecting body fat. We all know at least one person who has lost a
significant amount of weight, but still has an unhealthy amount of fat
on their body. Consequently, the result is sagging skin, no muscle tone,
and a level of body fat that can lead to a number of health risks. What
the body looks like on the outside can be very misleading, especially
when looking at muscle to fat ratios. Compare these five common
assessment tools to see what they do (and don’t do) to tell you
about what’s happening inside your body.
What do weighing scales tell you?
Step on. Step off. Step on again. The scale usually displays a
number you don’t want to see. A scale can only tell you how much
you weigh in total. It never gives you any indication if the weight
you’ve gained or lost is from water, muscle, or fat. The scale is good

EXERCISE & FITNESS

Taking your measurements to
record weight loss
You can use a tape measure to
record the circumference of different
areas of the body. This allows you to
see at an instant when you’re losing
weight, gaining weight, or staying
the same. Tape measurements are
good when you’re just starting
out because you’ll see a definite
improvement within the first four to
six weeks. Clothes will start to fit
better and you’ll see the numbers
gradually get smaller and smaller.
However, over time, measurements will not tell you what
changes are happening on the inside. Someone who is a size 12
can remain a size 12, but have a significant amount of muscle
inside their body. This will result in little or no movement on the
scale. They may even see an increase in the numbers on the scale.
Another person who is also a size 12 can do no strength training,
remain at the same weight, and be what I refer to as a “skinny fat
person.” This is someone who appears to be thin on the outside,
but still has a significant amount of body fat on the inside. Looking
at measurements alone can be very misleading, especially if you’re
concerned about health risks.
It’s also possible to estimate body fat by measuring the upper
arm, wrist, and hip. Measurements are then recorded and inserted is carrying in comparison to muscle
into a formula to estimate body fat percentage. For those who are over- and water (including all the blood,
or under-weight, this method is usually not very reliable. intracellular fluids, and other moisture

that makes them most powerful. “Avicolli’s is a double treat for diners
The people with whom you share a Google Doc don’t need any software to open, view, of all ages looking for a clever setting
and edit your document. There are no “version” issues (whenever Microsoft, for example, issues for good Italian food with super service
a new version of PowerPoint or Word, and a user saves a document using a new version, there and moderate prices”
are potential conflicts when another user tries to open (and edit) that same document using an The Post-Standard
older version of the program in question). There are no problems with version control (this is
another use of the word “version,” referring to the problem of two people opening and editing a Sept. 2006
document at the same time, usually not knowing someone else is editing it. Microsoft and other
program makers try to overcome this by locking a document when it’s open for editing by Person
A, but Person B can just open a copy and go right ahead and edit!). Google Docs handles version
control by first being web-based, meaning, editing can go on simultaneously by two or more
people because it’s all real time. I don’t save the document to a drive, it’s stored online - so if I
change a word, that word is changed right then and there.
In addition Google Docs tells me that someone else is online with that document open,
making changes to it. In fact, it will even notify me who it is, and what cell of a spreadsheet

Golfers in the mid to lower handicap range will most likely elect
to play the latest in hybrid technology, allowing them to eliminate
carrying a two, three, or even four iron in their bag, which until
recently was always a part of a full iron set purchased “off the shelf”
at any and all retail golf merchants. Mid to lower handicap golfers will
be looking at newly designed and tested drivers and three woods, that
offer a higher Moment of Inertia (MOI), larger heads, better launch
angles, and new light weight and technically advanced shafts. As we
continue to develop and improve our golf game, we soon come to
realize that the “short” game (100 yards in and closer to the green to
include putting) accounts for more than 70 percent of your total score,
therefore leading to the realization just how important different lofted
wedges are to your game. Many experienced players will carry 4-5
wedges in their bag ranging in lofts from 48 to 64 degrees, all to be
used at various yardages to the green and lie angles. As new advances
in clubs and club technology continue to move forward at a rapid
pace, please keep in mind that per the U.S.G.A., no more than 14 clubs
may be located in your bag at any given time during play. Remember,
choose your clubs wisely do you need 4-5 wedges in your bag? or
would one or two extra hybrids be more beneficial?
Low handicapped players will also be looking for the latest and
greatest tested and proven “new” drivers and higher tech hybrids, or
may be looking for newer forged or bladed irons allowing the better
player to” form” there own shots to include draws, power fades,
knock downs, etc. Experienced and or lower handicap players will
also be looking into purchasing different degrees in wedges as stated
above to help them improve there game from 100 yards in to the
green, keeping in mind that the U.S.G.A. has initiated a new rule for

THE SECRET HISTORY
by: Nancy Roberts
The Secret History

By: Donna Tartt
Published by: Vintage Contemporaries, 1992
My friend Nadine lent me this
book about a year ago, and urged
me to read it.
I started it, and had every
good intention, and then it got
put aside because I had to read
something else to review. And it
wasn’t demanding my attention. Then
another, and another, and another
book got in the way.
Finally, nearly a year later, I was
going on vacation, and would have
several hours on the plane each way,
so it seemed like an ideal time to start
again.
What took me so long?
The book is one of those wonderful
discoveries you want to make
again and again. While I admit
that it’s slow to get started,
once you’re at about page
60 it becomes impossible to
put down. You’re drawn in,
enveloped, cocooned. In short,
you become just like our hero,
Richard Papen, who is adopted
into a strange little clique of
classical scholars at Hampden
College, and is literally seduced
into evil.
The evil isn’t deliberate,
which makes it all the more
frightening - but I get ahead of
myself.
Richard is a boy from lower
middle-class Plano, CA. His
family is distasteful to him: a kind of classless bohemian group of whom
he is profoundly ashamed, and who don’t understand his intellectual’s
fascination with Greek literature and history. Determinedly, he finds a
way to manage a scholarship to Hampden College, with which he has
fallen in love. There, he reinvents his past, and longs to become a real
part of the small group of preppy friends that comprise the Classical
Studies students, and acolytes to charismatic professor, Julian Morrow.
His acceptance, or quasi-acceptance, is, as Tartt describes it,
voluptuous, rich, intoxicating.
Held just slightly out of reach, becoming part of the Greek studies
program is all the more desirable; the students (including Richard) can
chatter to one another in a “secret” language that few can understand;
their professor teaches them that they literally do enter a “secret” society
when they become adept at Greek. And he invites them into this society:
“I hope we’re ready to leave the phenomenal world,” he says, “and enter
into the sublime?”
The Greeks, so far as we know, practiced mystery, or cult religions.
Among the more notorious was the Dionysian cult of the Maenads,
the female followers of Dionysus. Using intoxicants, dance, song, and
sexuality, this cult would engage in periodic frenzied rites, which,
according to legend, frequently resulted in not only orgiastic nights, but

LIMP LIZARD ROADSIDE CANTINA
by: Alisha Tondro
With a slogan like “good grub, cold beer, good

times,” The Limp Lizard Roadside Cantina is worth the
drive to North Syracuse. Located at 224 N. Main St.,
Limp Lizard is a great venue to stop by. But be careful
you don’t look the wrong way, because you just might
miss it.
There are strings of white lights hanging over the
red umbrella topped picnic tables on the patio at the
front of the restaurant. Inside are four golden tables
with green trim. Set up at these tables are simple
wooden kitchen chairs, for a total seating for 14
people. The outer walls have a long bar with six tall
backed bar stools.
More of the inner décor includes a small set of
antlers, a large animal skin on the wall, and several
old fashioned license plates tacked to the wall around
the ordering counter.
The cantina is located in a small building that
looks like an old drive up diner. With this setting the
Cantina is best described as a local watering hole with
the feel of a roadhouse. However, the Cantina is so
much more.
The cantina is an expansion of the Limp Lizard
Bar and Grill run by Chuck and Robin Orlando. The
grill opened about five and a half years ago. The
Cantina, which is run by Chuck’s cousin Frank Yaizzo,
opened in December.
“We’re doing
pretty well for an
expansion in just
that short of time,”
explains Yaizzo.

PREVENTIVE MEDICINE
THE MISTAKE OF LAMAZE
by: Dr. Barry
Let me clarify if I may. I’m not in particular complaining about

the Lamaze technique. I’m not in any way shape or form suggesting
that men shouldn’t be supportive of their wives while pregnant or
around the delivery. What I object to for many reasons is this sad
sick idea of the husband being in the delivery room for the birth of
their children.
Oh, I know men who have said it was a pleasant experience. I
am sure it was memorable. But pleasant? I don’t meet many of those
people and I don’t know how to characterize them. They’re obviously
not gay nor are they obviously slow or all French for that matter. Not
that there is anything wrong with any of the above. My point is my
opinion is obviously not universal, although really it probably should
be and let me elaborate why.
First off let’s talk about the pregnancy. Imagine my wife’s shock
and surprise when the gynecologist at our first meeting opined that
she shouldn’t have chocolate or coffee. Now those of you that know
my wife know she likes her chocolate and her coffee. I’m glad it
was the baby and not me that was coming between my wife and
her two rather innocent vises. As the doctor delivered this advice I
