Greece goes to court

If Mary Anna Towler truly thinks that the two women “didn’t ask the board to stop opening its meetings with prayer; they just wanted the prayers to be nondenominational,” then I have a bridge in Brooklyn she might be interested in buying (“Greece and the Supremes,” Urban Journal).

I fully agree that the prayers should be nonsectarian, but this is just a stepping stone for a greater agenda. If the Court rules against the Town Board, it will open the door to the banning of any kind of religious displays on public property, be it crèches or menorahs. Then Christmas lights will disappear, and soon thereafter the very word “Christmas” will be banned.

I think the hostility of these Grinches comes from their inability to enjoy the love of St. Valentine’s Day, the gaiety of St. Patrick’s Day, the wonder of Easter, the fun of Halloween, the blessedness of Thanksgiving and, especially, the joy of Christmas. If they can’t celebrate them then, by golly, why should anyone else be allowed to? Bah, humbug!

Godless society. The rights of Christians are being trampled. For too long we have been taught to turn the other cheek, with the result that we fear invoking even a simple “God bless you” in response to a sneeze. Lenin is laughing in his tomb. It’s time for us to reclaim our civil rights.

CHRISTINA GUTT

We live in a diverse country; some are theist, others are not. Non-denominational prayers should be offered before public meetings. This way, those who are theist feel included in the political community.

Public prayer has been a tradition practiced since the founding of the country. If the founders who penned the Bill of Rights believed this act contradicted the First Amendment, surely they would have nipped this practice in the bud, or made a clause for an exception to public prayer.

Casinos’ payoff

I’ve worked in the table games department in two different casinos (“New York’s Tough Call on Casinos,” News). I am a table games supervisor.

I worked for the Seneca nation for years.

Sure, you get your regulars that come in. So what? You people that think bringing a casino into town is gonna devastate the area and make everyone poor are crazy. First, it brings construction jobs... then thousands of jobs to operate it. I love what I do.

People come for fun, and above all else the thrill of winning money. Why lose out on the money to other states when you can have your own? I can assure you that 95 percent of these people come to get away from their regular lives, looking for nothing more than entertainment and fun.

COMMENTARY | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Democrats on the run Like them or not, we’re all pretty clear on what the Tea Party and the far right wing of the Republican Party stand for: opposing President Obama on everything and obstructing government.

What do Democrats stand for? Well, that depends. Democrats are fond of nuanced positions. And they’ll run like scared cats at the first sign of trouble.

It’s happened again with the Affordable Care Act. After surviving every kind of assault, from lawsuits to GOP threats of a government shutdown, the ACA is facing its worst foe: frightened Dems.

As President Obama’s poll numbers slipped following the rocky rollout of the ACA website, leading Dems began distancing themselves from the law. Many were probably emboldened by Bill Clinton. The former president, not known for his good judgment, said Obama should honor his promise: let people who like their current health insurance plans keep them even if they don’t meet the ACA’s minimum standards.

After some Dems began jumping onto a bill proposed by Senator Mary Landrieu, which basically heeds Clinton’s advice, a besieged Obama was left with few choices.

He went before the public to try a little massage therapy on his broken promise, offering his own proposal: insurance companies can allow people who received cancellation letters to keep their old policies for a year.

But on Friday, a stunning 39 Democrats sided with House Republicans to pass Representative Fred Upton’s “Keep Your Health Plan Act.” While the vote was immediately labeled a damaging blow to Obama – and it was – the worst damage was inflicted on the American public.

The bill should have been called the “Keep Our Broken Health Care System Act,” because it basically resurrects the status quo. It not only allows people to keep their current plan for a year, even if it doesn’t provide good coverage, but it also allows insurers to keep selling those plans.

As frustrated as the public is with the ACA and the federal website, a recent international survey by the Commonwealth Fund is a stark reminder of just how broken the old health care system was.

The Fund’s survey of 20,000 adults in 10 industrialized countries found that Americans pay more and get less for their health care than those in the other countries.

Costs are so high that more than one-third of Americans in 2013 went without the care medical professionals recommended.

And about 23 percent of Americans had serious problems paying their medical bills.

Americans notoriously have a problem with long-term memory. Economist Lawrence Summers, a former Clinton

The House Democrats’ health-care vote was a damaging blow to Obama, but the worst damage was inflicted on the American public. and Obama administration official, recently framed the issue this way: Obama has tackled a problem that has been an economic drag on the country for nearly 50 years. Anyone who thinks that the system was working well prior to the ACA is wrong, Summers said. Premiums were rising at an unsustainable double-digit pace for much of the last decade, he said, and the ACA is already accomplishing more than what many people expected.

Obama has said from the beginning that he expected the law to be improved over time. But changes that don’t require young people to buy insurance or that permit people to enroll in plans that are often no better than “sub prime” insurance plans do nothing to improve the ACA. And opening the law up at this time with this Congress would practically guarantee killing it anyway.

Republicans have rushed to the airwaves to call the president a liar. And the vote on the Upton bill is certainly not an effort to improve Americans’ health care. It’s their latest attempt to derail the ACA. Who didn’t see that coming?

A reversal on the ACA by Democrats at this point is entirely different, however.

To come out now and oppose the ACA is cowardly. It not only tells voters that the GOP was right all along, but it also says that Dems are more interested in their own political well-being than the nation’s. And this will haunt the party for years to come.

[ NEWS FROM THE WEEK PAST ]

Bad news

GateHouse Media, the owner of the Messenger Post suburban weeklies, laid off all five of its Monroe County reporters.

The future of the papers is unclear, though one of the laid off reporters told the Democrat and Chronicle that managers had developed “alternative newsgathering solutions” for filling their pages.

Plot twist in LDC inquiry

The attorney general’s office filed a motion that will likely lead to the dismissal of charges against Robert Wiesner. Wiesner and three others were accused of participating in a bid-rigging scheme involving two local development corporations with links to Monroe County.

But Wiesner may not be out of the woods. The AG says it will convene a new grand jury to hear the case against Wiesner.

Wiesner, who is the husband of Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks, said that the AG violated his rights by not allowing him to testify to the first grand jury.

Brooks releases 2014 budget

2014 would keep the tax rate flat at $8.99 per $1,000 assessed value.

The county faced a $45 million “mandate-driven structural deficit,” she said, which was whittled down through staff reductions and other measures. The Legislature will hold a public hearing on the budget proposal in December.

Marina work begins

Rochester attorney Lawrence Krieger filed a notice of appeal after a judge ruled recently that Rochester’s red-light camera program is constitutional. Krieger was ticketed after a camera caught him making a right turn without stopping. Violations result in a $50 fine.

SCIENCE | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Sight without light Most people would likely agree that humans cannot see in total darkness. But spelunkers, people who study and explore caves, have made anecdotal observations for years disputing that assumption. And they may now have data on their side.

A new University of Rochester study shows that some people have the ability to see their own bodies move in total darkness.

Through a series of experiments involving more than 100 subjects, Duje Tadin, a professor of brain and cognitive sciences at the UR, and Kevin Dieter, a post-doctoral fellow at Vanderbilt University, found that

roughly 50 percent of people can see their hands move in total darkness.

Their findings were recently reported in the journal Psychological Science.

In one of the most revealing experiments, the researchers used a computerized eye-tracking device, says Tadin, because eye movements don’t occur randomly; the eyes need to lock on to something and track it.

Roughly half of the subjects outfitted with the device and with goggles that prevent light transmission saw their hands moving, Tadin says.

Since the subjects did not see the researchers’ hand movements, he says, the study suggests that a person’s own

body movements could signal some form of brain activity that produces a visual image even in the absence of light.

The researchers also found that synesthetes, people who are known to see numbers and letters in color or other combinations of sense-blending, possessed the ability to see their hand movements in darkness, too.

Tadin says that the experiments may show that not only is the brain extremely involved in people’s sight perceptions, but that our senses work together more than previously realized. Future research could lead to improving hand coordination among the elderly and disabled, he says.

The initial expansion plan extended the docks into a 660-foot state and federal buffer zone around the nest. The DEC wanted the docks out of that zone. The Daniele family complied by reducing the expansion to 183 slips.

Marina questions Environmental questions and concerns continue to surround the Daniele family’s plans to expand their marina in Irondequoit Bay. The latest: the Penfield Town Board says that the project needs a full-scale environmental review.

The board concluded at a meeting last week that the expansion could significantly affect the bay’s biology and ecology, says Jim Costello, Penfield’s director of development services.

Mario, Danny, and Anthony Daniele, who also own Bazil restaurant on the bay, originally proposed adding 225 slips to Southpoint Marina, along with a 2,700 square foot clubhouse. But after conversations with the state Department of Environmental Conservation, they’ve revised the plans, says Anthony Daniele.

The marina, which is adjacent to the bay, is near an active bald eagle’s nest. The initial expansion plan extended the docks into a 660-foot state and federal buffer zone around the nest. The DEC wanted the docks out of that zone. The Daniele family complied by reducing the expansion to 183 slips.

“We couldn’t really move them but we could eliminate some so that we’re not getting as close,” Anthony Daniele says.

Whether the project will require an eagle-related permit from U.S. Fish and

Wildlife Service is not clear. But Anthony Daniele says the family is “adamantly” trying to balance the project so they don’t need the permit. The developers have no intention of “having an Anthony Daniele.

PHOTO PROVIDED adverse effect on the bird,” he says.

The latest plan also moves the clubhouse further inland to avoid state wetland buffers, Daniele says. And there will be public access to the waterfront area via a walking path, he says.

To start the environmental review, the developers have to submit a draft outline identifying the topics and issues they plan to cover. From there, the town will provide input and the public will also have a chance to comment, Costello says.

Rochester city schools Superintendent Bolgen Vargas said he wants as many schools as possible to eventually be under the full management of Rochesterarea colleges. And he wants at least one school to be under a college’s management by 2015, he said.

Vargas appeared before the school board’s Excellence in Student Achievement committee earlier this week with a plan containing several proposals to dramatically improve student achievement. The proposals are both innovative and controversial.

Vargas prefaced his proposal concerning the colleges by conceding that the district is having difficulty managing so many low-performing schools at one time.

College leadership would have all of the supervisory powers of the superintendent, Vargas said. Funding would follow each student and go to the college, he said, but students would remain enrolled in the city school district. Vargas said that he would like to “have as many schools under college supervision as possible.”

He gave no indication of which schools he’d like the colleges to take over. And he didn’t say if colleges are waiting in the wings to carry this out.

But Vargas has been talking with the heads of area colleges and there is some interest in the idea, says district spokesperson Chip Partner.

Other proposals include revitalizing the district’s Careers in Technology program with BOCES. While the district has been working to provide more opportunities for students in areas such as the arts, music, and sports, Vargas said that many students say they want to participate in programs that the district isn’t offering.

Students who want to pursue careers as electricians, plumbers, HVAC specialists, auto-repair technicians, and cosmetologists would be able to attend BOCES for those programs if the district isn’t offering something similar, Vargas said.

Vargas also proposed a communitywide approach to improving student

College leadership would have all of the supervisory powers of the superintendent. behavior. The district’s unusually high suspension rate has been a controversial subject for years. The district shifted away from a student conduct policy that strongly encouraged outside suspensions because many students were missing weeks of instruction. In-house suspensions were supposed to deliver the appropriate level of punishment while keeping students in school, receiving instruction in special classrooms.

But some school board members had questioned the effectiveness of the conduct policy — whether it unfairly targets African-American boys, and if the standards for good conduct have been fairly assessed.

Vargas also proposed a five-year plan to eliminate the structural problems with the district’s finances. Budget battles create winners and losers, he said, and cause instability in school communities.

And Vargas proposed eliminating summer learning loss for K-3 students by greatly increasing summer reading program opportunities.

ADDICTIONS COUNSELOR CREDENTIAL TRAINING

All city school board members attended Monday’s meeting except Willa Powell. Most board members complimented Vargas for introducing the proposals, which include ideas they said they’ve been discussing for several years.

Board vice president Van White seemed especially enthusiastic about the college management proposal.

But there are many questions about how the proposal would work. Vargas said that some districts around the country, including New York City and Buffalo, have turned to colleges for management. And he said that Adam Urbanski, president of the Rochester Teachers Association, supports the idea, at least conceptually.

The colleges would have to honor RTA contracts, but a mechanism in the current contract allows for changes to be negotiated by the colleges.

The plan would require state approval, and it’s unclear what roles the board and Vargas would play in the new arrangement.

But some of board members’ biggest concerns involved the proposal for a community-wide discussion about student behavior. Vargas proposed creating a task force to engage the community with the goal of coming up with a shared vision for expectations of students and proper school conduct.

Vargas said that the recent gathering of students at the Liberty Pole downtown that included a gun being fired is a clear indication that improvement in student behavior is needed. But it was less clear whether board members agreed.

Throughout the presentation, Vargas said that the proposals would require a re-examination of the district’s budget priorities and a shifting of funds.

On another note, Vargas said that declining enrollment in the district would require staffing adjustments in central office administration, but he did not elaborate.

Vargas said several times that the need to improve student achievement is urgent, and that the district is facing its last chance to turn around.

Island time [ CHOW HOUND ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

That stately two-story brick building at 289 Alexander Street, the one that most famously housed Lloyd’s and most recently Benedettos, has had new life breathed into it by Havana Cabana, which bills itself as a Cuban café and rum bar. The latter is certainly accurate; the gorgeous bar boasts more than 40 different varieties of rum, which find their way into cocktails both modern and traditional, as well as flights for the connoisseur or merely the curious. The “Cuban” descriptor is also somewhat true, with flavors and inspiration coming from the whole of the Caribbean. But one look at Havana Cabana’s inventive menu suggests that “café” might be a little modest...

“Resort casual” is how assistant general manager Micah Vitale describes Havana Cabana, its warm woods and earthy reds offset by splashes of tropical blue. And chef/ co-owner Trey Yager’s food keeps that island vibe going, with seafood lovers in particular finding much here to enjoy. Conch is on the menu, along with blue crab, shrimp, lobster, grouper, tilapia, mahi mahi, and a Cuban Harvest Paella ($25.95) starring bay scallops, shrimp, calamari, and clams, along with chorizo and chicken in an herbed sea broth.

Vegetarians and carnivores are both covered; the Island Toasts — essentially a pizza made with an authentic Cuban dough — are available in versions both meatless and meatful, while entrées include jerk pork loin in a blackberry-rum barbecue sauce ($18.95), along with Chef Yager’s tricked-out version of the Cuban classic vaca frita ($23.95). There

are also soups and salads for those looking to keep things light (and save room for rum).

Havana Cabana is located at 289 Alexander Street. It is open Wed-Thu 11:30 a.m.-midnight; Friday-Saturday 11:30 a.m.-2 a.m.; and Sunday 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Prices range from $3.95-$34.95.

The first is a tribute to Horace Silver, the second to Oscar Peterson, and you can hear elements of both in Dubin’s playing.

Shawn Drogan, drummer of local live electronic duo The Manhattan Project, is a veteran of laying down thick hypnotic-dance grooves.

[ REVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

I tried — I really tried — to flush the Supersuckers fan out of my system before I went to see Supersuckers front man Eddie Spaghetti do his thing solo at Abilene Thursday night. The place was lined with fans of the man’s work over and above this rural detour. As I arrived with the dual Australian lass attack in tow, it was clear that Spaghetti’s show was all about the smart-ass swagger of a Supersuckers show with the brilliant veneer of a classic hardcore troubadour in a beer joint.

I had just picked up Spaghetti’s solo salvo “Value of Nothing” (the album has the best cover since The Scorpions’ “Love Drive”) and a host of countrified tunes. Spaghetti has an obvious affinity for music in that vein, as indicated by The Supersuckers’ 1997 disc, “Must’ve Been High.” Armed with a Hummingbird and an extensive rock ’n’ roll catalogue under his black Stetson, Spaghetti was glib, charming, self-effacing, and hysterical, ending every song with a resounding “cha cha cha,” followed by the throwing of

[ CLASSICAL ]

devil horns that is more synonymous with The Supersuckers than Ronnie James Dio at this point. It was a great show and helped me to decipher his album. Except now, in my head, every song ends with “cha cha cha.”

Basking under the glow of “The Sopranos” pinball machine, I got to catch most of a ripping set from Dan Frank and the True Believers at Monty’s Krown on Saturday night. Following a set of tenaciously tangy twang and bang from Krypton 88, The True Believers mounted the little stage with a buzz-guitar-filled set of garage rock a la The Count Bishops, The Sonics, and a heavy dose of that brown-eyed handsome man from St. Louis, Chuck Berry. This band has a lot of Rochester garage history in its blood (namely The Projectiles, who I used to dig live when I was a young bronkin’ buck with a pink carnation and a pickup truck). The music still speaks my language, and it still speaks to me. Cha cha cha.

Music fluctuation, that feel you may not get from a loop or a drum machine. I may be playing over a loop or with a loop, but depending on the night, it’ll be a little different. I may be pushing it here, a little more energy there, an accent… I think that’s fun for people.

Is it difficult to sync up the human imperfection with the electronic perfection?

It really depends on the song. Every song is a little bit different. We’re not using any computers on stage in our live performance, so a lot relies on practice and rehearsal to get it right.

What happens if you have an electronic glitch?

We were more nervous earlier on and had some experiences like that. You learn to roll with it. Sometimes it ends up better and leads to a new place you never expected. It keeps us on our toes for sure.

It has to be done right.

Kings of the new frontier The Manhattan Project THEMANHATTANPROJECTLIVE.COM [ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

Rochester-based electronic sensation The Manhattan Project is more of an experience than a band, a re-defining of gravity. The duo — Shawn Drogan (drums and electronics) and Charlie Lindner (keyboards and synth) — creates a swirling, pulsating electronic universe without losing sight of the humans that dig it, or the humans behind it.

The Manhattan Project has produced an impressive body of work over its five-year history: three studio outings — “Atomic Bomb Party Vol. 1,” “Atomic Bomb Party Vol. 2,” “Atomic Bomb Party Vol. 3,” and one live recording, “Live Vol. 1.” Each release is vastly exploratory and hypnotic as its grooves flow in and out of its own vortex.

Live, the huge crowds The Manhattan Project draws only fuel the frenzy further, like a sort of non-stop electronic cabaret.

Both Drogan and Lindner bring the beat to their fans, fans that are growing in 12 CITY NOVEMBER 20-26, 2013

numbers across the United States. They are road dogs, having just recently returned from a four-week turn-and-burn tour that took them down the East Coast and as far west as Colorado.

Drogan dropped in after a month of hopping in the van to discuss the human vs. electronic paradigm, the importance of acknowledging your rock roots and identity, and the thrill of new frontiers. An edited transcript of the discussion follows.

CITY: The Manhattan Project: how, why, and when?

Shawn Drogan: The Manhattan Project

started roughly five years ago. Charlie and I were just looking for something new to do musically. We just put out our third disc and a live compilation. We’re looking forward to doing a full-length next.

Musically, where did you come from?

What’s in there?

A little bit of everything: jam bands, blues [Drogan spent time drumming with Liqwid, Space Agency, Macro Meltdown, The Move, Chris Beard]. Really when it all began, we were doing these coffeehouse

gigs as a jazz duo, improvising, but we wanted to go into more structured songwriting, which is something we were strong at early on. So this provided a new challenge, I guess. We just wanted to do something new. I think after 15 to 20 years of playing a certain style of music I guess we wanted to venture into something new and challenging.

Challenging because it was vastly different?

Challenging because it was new. New sounds we had never explored before, new techniques, trying to write a good four and a half minute song, instead of relying on a jam, instead of the opposite, something a little more meaningful to us. It’s been a huge challenge. We’ve both become better songwriters in the process. It has been fun for us individually as musicians and as a collaborative team.

Is it difficult being a human in the machine?

I think it allows a breath in there, that humanistic quality. We’re not perfect.

I’m not a perfect drummer. There is that

What new frontiers do you tackle with each new recording?

The first one was a self-produced effort.

It was something to launch the project and get it out there. The second one we worked with Sam Polizzi at GFI. We wanted something sonically much greater than our first one — bigger, higher quality. With this new one, because of our schedule with touring, we only had a small window of time to go in and record. And we went in with songs that maybe were just ideas or half done, or just grooves and beats. It was a new process for us to use the studio to complete these pieces. The only thing we really wanted with this one was to be different from the last, take it into new areas and explore. The tempos on this one are slower, half time.

Despite the Manhattan Project sound, you guys still come off as rockers in a digital realm.

No matter how hard we try we can’t get away from the years and years of influence and inspiration we’ve gotten from all sorts of styles of music. And you can never force anything. We’re pretty free to do whatever we want.

We allow the instrumentation to kind of shape our sound. A song can be anything as long as it connects with somebody or moves them in a certain way. It doesn’t matter what style of genre it ultimately falls into.

VIETNAMESE CUISINE POP/ROCK | ADVANCE BASE

Chicago-based act Advance Base, the stage name of musician Owen Ashworth, lists his genre simply as sad.

On the album “A Shut In’s Prayer,” Ashworth presents a folk-inspired gift for the narrative form and gentle speechbased vocals, calling to mind artists such as Leonard Cohen and Bill Callahan. Ashworth embraces vintage pop instrumentation, employing instruments such as a Rhodes electric piano, a drum machine, and an autoharp, creating a nostalgic, wistful musical atmosphere. Ashworth, formerly of the band Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, continues his exploration of “all things lost” under this new moniker, taking his listeners to a sad, but comforting, place.

CELTIC PUNK | THE MAHONES

ALT-COUNTRY | MAD COW TIPPERS

Dublin-born, Canada-based Finny McConnell is considered by many as one of the main instigators in getting this whole Irish Punk drinking party started, years before bands like Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys kicked the scene wide open. The Mahones is a tight outfit with more of a lean on the Irish music tradition and less on the locomotive and volume that others in the genre use. But, it still manages to kick out the whiskey-fueled jams with speed and a contagious exuberance.

With a most excellent accelerated 2/4 stomp and giggle this miscreant trio from Ithaca — with Rochester’s Reverend Sam on bass — play songs steeped in irony. Though hilarious, titles like “I’m The Bulge in Satan’s Pants” don’t distract from the music’s redneck thrash, twang, and thrills. Mad Cow Tippers borrows from the likes of The Cramps and The Reverend Horton Heat to add to the honkin,’ psychobilly splendor.

The band’s director, drummer Rich Thompson, played in a trio setting with McPartland many times and worked with Wess in the Count Basie Band.

Cheer up, weepy Jean “Les Misérables”

BY PITTSFORD MUSICALS THROUGH NOVEMBER 24 PITTSFORD SUTHERLAND HIGH SCHOOL, 55 SUTHERLAND ST., PITTSFORD $17-$24 | 586-1500, PITTSFORDMUSICALS.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

After sitting through a disappointing 2012 film adaptation and the lackluster 25th anniversary touring production that made a stop at the Auditorium Center back in May, I admit that, despite my fondness for the show, I wasn’t quite sure I was ready to subject myself to yet another staging of “Les Misérables.” Thankfully, I decided to disregard my hesitancy, as Pittsford Musicals’ exceptional new production of the wildly popular musical served as a heartening reminder about why I ever liked the show in the first place. Credit goes to an exceptionally talented cast and resourceful staging that places an emphasis on the heightened emotions 16 CITY NOVEMBER 20-26, 2013

behind the tale of love, hardship, and rebellion rather than the overblown spectacle you might be used to seeing.

If you’re bothering to read this review, it’s probably safe to assume that you know the plot to “Les Misérables” like the back of your hand. But what the hell?

Let’s recap it anyway. Based on Victor Hugo’s 1862 novel of the same name, the musical follows the plight of prisoner Jean Valjean, jailed for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his sister’s starving child.

After 19 years in prison, he is released on parole, only to break it when his criminal past makes it impossible to find work.

Despite constant pursuit from Javert, a policeman with an uncomfortably onetrack mind, Valjean eventually claws his way up from nothing, managing to become mayor and a wealthy factory owner. When he inadvertently gets one of his workers fired, he makes a promise to the dying woman that he will raise her young daughter, Cosette, as his own. We then flash forward nine years as Cosette, now a young woman, falls in love with an idealistic young revolutionary named Marius. As their love story plays

out against the backdrop of the Paris Uprising, eventually there’s a happy ending for the lucky few who manage to survive the tale.

Epic in just about every sense, “Les Misérables” is an ambitious undertaking for any community-theater group, even one with as sterling a reputation as Pittsford Musicals. Faced with the task of coming up with ways to engage new audiences in all the story’s melodrama, the response from most directors seems to be doubling down on spectacle. Tom Hooper’s lavish film adaptation expanded the world with a misguided focus on the grimy realism of 19th century France, while the overproduced anniversary tour added background projections and even more elaborate sets.

Lacking the budget of either of those productions, Pittsford Musicals Artistic Director Mike Pincelli was more or less required to simplify the more technical aspects of the show. Scaling back the production, and dialing down the bombast, has done wonders for the show, and the result is invigorating to watch. While retaining the story’s scope,

Art Exhibits

the smaller scale makes for an experience that feels more intimate, making it easier to get invested in the story and uncover the real emotions underneath.

Particularly impressive is the utilization of simplified, but remarkably effective, sets designed by David Fisher to accommodate the relatively small stage of Pittsford Sutherland High School.

It’s a testament to the deep pool of

local performing talent that the entire cast, from leads down to each member of the ensemble, is so strong. Joey Campagna makes for a powerful Jean Valjean, conveying the pain at the heart of the character without resorting to the histrionics that can sometimes sneak into certain portrayals of the character.

He even manages to overcome the truly unfortunate wig with which he’s saddled. (This might come across as an unreasonable criticism, but it’s the one aspect of the show that frustratingly betrays the production’s communitytheater roots.)

Chris Streeter is also quite good as the self-righteous inspector Javert. His strong voice is used to great effect during “Stars,” Javert’s big moment to shine, and he nails the character’s significant rage that lies hidden under the stoic exterior. JCC CenterStage veteran Laura Jean Diekmann makes a lasting impression as the shortlived Fantine, and Emily Putnam gives an incredibly moving performance as the tragically lovesick Éponine.

Mark Smillie and Dresden Engle prove to be an excellent team, turning in suitably hammy, scene-stealing performances as Master and Madame Thénardier. The love story between Marius and Cosette is always the least engaging part of any production of “Les Mis,” so a special mention must be given to Jimmy Boorum, who besides having a stellar voice, is able to take the traditionally dull character of Marius and actually invest him with a bit of life.

With its production of “Les Misérables,” Pittsford Musicals proves that you don’t need a Broadway-sized budget to deliver Broadway-caliber theater. A committed, passionate, and skilled cast and crew is better than all the razzle dazzle money can buy.

KIDS | POLAR EXPRESS

Few things are more exciting than going on a trip, and when you’re a child, few things could be more memorable than a journey to see Santa Claus. Based on the classic book of the same name, “The Polar Express” train rides held at the Medina Railroad Museum (530 West Ave., Medina) capture the magic of the season, rather than the commercialism craze, while they bear pajama-clad children and their adults on a one-hour cocoa-sipping journey to the “North Pole” to meet Santa.

The Polar Express rides kick off this week on Saturday and Sunday, November 23 and 24, with future dates on November 30 & December 1, December 7-8, 14-15, and 21-22.

Tickets are $28 for Standard Class at 3:30, 4:45 & 6 p.m.

The 2:15 p.m. Early-Bird Special is $23. First Class tickets are also available on a limited basis for $45 (no First Class seating on the 2:15 p.m. train). Children under age 2 ride for free. Along with upgraded seating, all First Class passengers receive their own Polar Express ceramic souvenir cocoa mug and whipped cream topping on their cocoa.

Tickets are held at Will Call at the museum for you to pick up just before your ride. Arrive early, about one hour before the ride, to get your tickets before the line gets long. All tickets include museum admission with its huge model-train layout.

For tickets and more information, call 798-6106 or visit railroadmuseum.net. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Sun noon-5 p.m. 264-1440. internationalartacquisitions.com.

“Tuesdays with Morrie” is a quotation from W. H. Auden.) And there are no real surprises along the way. You know how the play will end from the beginning, and can almost guess the content of each scene before it begins. Yes, it’s a touching story, but we’ve seen it many times before, and often better done.

Part of the problem may be Albom’s decision to write “Tuesdays with Morrie” as a two-character play, without the skill to create two fully rounded characters. Mitch and Morrie only play off each other; other people in their lives are referred to, or on the unheard end of a telephone conversation.

They don’t really exist in any kind of context, and a lot of the interesting stuff takes place offstage or is merely referred to. We are told too much. This play is partly about Mitch’s transformation to a more caring person, but we have only his word for it. As Morrie no doubt wrote in more than one student term paper, “Show me, don’t tell me!”

More than words “Tuesdays with Morrie” THROUGH NOVEMBER 24 BLACKFRIARS THEATRE, 795 E. MAIN ST. $28.50-$36.50 | 454-1260, BFTIX.COM [ REVIEW ] BY DAVID RAYMOND

Mitch Albom’s “Tuesdays with Morrie” may have been a pop-culture juggernaut as a book; as a play it is pretty much Lifetime for guys. Albom’s memoir of afternoons spent in the company of a college professor he remembered fondly, during the professor’s last days, and the life lessons that resulted, was on the bestseller list for ages and was indeed made into a TV movie (though not a Lifetime movie). The book was anointed by Oprah Winfrey — and it was also made into a play, which Blackfriars is now presenting.

Given its great success, this is obviously a story that means a lot to a lot of people.

But as a play, it seems awfully pale. Mitch (played by Stefan Cohen) begins the play with a fond reminiscence of Morrie Schwartz (Greg Byrne), his sociology professor when Mitch was a student, and an enthusiastic jazz pianist, at Brandeis University in the 1960’s. When he graduates, Mitch promises 20 CITY NOVEMBER 20-26, 2013

to stay in touch with Morrie. But of course he doesn’t — until one evening when he sees Morrie on “Nightline” talking about his affliction with Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Student goes to see teacher for a final visit, which stretches into several months of Tuesday meetings until Morrie’s death.

Morrie is facing death with equanimity; Mitch, a successful and overworked sports journalist, needs some instruction from his old teacher in, as the old song lyric puts it, the real stuff in life to cling to: wife, family, taking time for others. (Somewhat surprising advice, coming from a supposed firebrand who taught Angela Davis and Jerry Rubin; but I guess a radical can have a happy home life.) When Morrie dies, Mitch realizes he has learned how to lead a more meaningful life.

This is a very nice story, of course, and I

don’t doubt Albom’s sincerity for a moment.

(Apparently he doesn’t either; his biography takes up an entire page of the program, so I guess Morrie didn’t iron out his ego completely.)

But as a play it is formulaic and thin. Albom has a best-seller writer’s command of language — he gets the story told straightforwardly and pushes the right emotional buttons at the right times.

But he has no distinctive style or command of language. (The most memorable line in

If “Tuesdays with Morrie” isn’t much of a play, it is certainly well presented at Blackfriars. And well-furnished: John Haldoupis’s set includes everything from a bed to large sofa to a baby grand piano.

In creating a playing space for each scene of the play, he creates something of an obstacle course for the actors. As a director, Haldoupis does have them negotiating the course smoothly, but I wonder how a simpler, more abstract approach to staging this piece might work.

Greg Byrne and Stefan Cohen are local theater veterans, and have a fine chemistry together; I don’t know if they ever performed together before this, but they obviously ought to do it again. Mutual respect and affection aren’t inherently dramatic qualities, but these two men convey a lot of it very convincingly, giving the show a great deal of its substance.

These are the kinds of performances that start well and get better and better throughout a play’s run.

As noted above, as Mitch, Cohen has to do an awful lot of talking to the audience. But when he settles down for the scenes with his old teacher, his gradual transition from a hard-driven loudmouth into something of a mensch is nicely done.

Playing a man dying of a terrible disease, Byrne has the showier role, and to his credit he doesn’t show off in it all. The sheer sadness and pain in Byrne’s face at certain moments in “Tuesdays with Morrie” is more eloquent than most of the words in the play.

THEATER | “MACHO’S PLACE”

Men get a really bad rap, but they share the same needs and desires as the “other half” of humanity, and are equally as vulnerable. (If you don’t believe me, just take a look at your man the next time he has a head cold.) Women can be very vocal about the burden of having false realities projected onto them, but men are fairly silent about handling these same issues. So what do some of the men, who are often seen as the most overt two-dimensionally manly cliche, have to say about it? You can find out this weekend by heading to MuCCC (142 Atlantic Ave.) to check out “Macho’s Place,” presented by Latino Theatre Productions and written and directed by Rochester’s Nydia Rivera.

The show features Latino men from the community, and provides a look into the “male” experience within the Latino culture. “Macho’s Place” is set in a local barber shop, performed in English, with some “Spanglish” and a few Spanish phrases, but is completely understandable and accessible to English speaking audiences. A question-andanswer period will follow the performances.

French kissing “Blue is the Warmest Color”

(NC-17), DIRECTED BY ABDELLATIF KECHICHE NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY GEORGE GRELLA

Three hours of the new French film, “Blue is the Warmest Color,” should convince even the most ardent Francophiles that the nation has lost its way and drawn a number of film critics along with it. Inspiring considerable discussion before it achieved a wide release, the movie deals with a familiar subject — a young woman’s sexual awakening — but aroused some controversy because of its relatively graphic presentation

of sexual acts, earning it the dreaded NC-17 rating, which often kills a motion picture.

The director consumes much of those three hours tracing the life of its protagonist, Adèle (Adèle Exarchopoulos), from high school to her profession as a kindergarten teacher, a course that proceeds in an oddly disjointed manner. Adèle goes to school every day, performs well in her French and English classes, endures some mild teasing from her friends about her innocence, and dates an older schoolmate, Thomas (Jérémie Laheurte). She and Thomas sleep together, but she finds the sex unfulfilling and then, for no particular reason, Thomas breaks up with her, one of several rejections she suffers in the film.

Consoled by her gay friend and confidant Valentin (Sandor Funtek) — an obligatory character in such movies — she first visits a gay bar with him, then wanders into a lesbian bar, an act that changes her life. She meets and ultimately falls in love with Emma (Léa Seydoux), a graduate student in art who dyes her hair blue

and introduces Adèle to a different kind of lovemaking. Their relationship, which apparently continues for some years, provides the reason for the movie’s controversial context.

“Blue is the Warmest Color” actually justifies all the clichés about the French that we have all learned over the years — that when they aren’t discussing philosophy in picturesque cafes, they spend their time consuming wonderful food, drinking good wine, and having great sex. When she isn’t pouting or blubbering, Adèle eats almost all the time, enjoying lunches and dinners with friends and family, stuffing her face with gyros, pasta, oysters, chicken, and at night when she cries, a drawerful of candy bars. More important, she and Emma enjoy a number of lengthy sexual episodes, in which they entangle themselves in several complicated and remarkable erotic arabesques, quite varied and most unusual.

As for the intellectual side of French culture, Emma’s friends and colleagues discuss Sartre and Existentialism, which apparently still preoccupies the nation, and she and another friend debate the relative quality of Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele. Adèle, by the way, confesses she knows nothing about art or philosophy and has never heard of Sartre, Klimt, or Schiele.

Aside from all the eating and drinking, which looks most appetizing, the sex, appetizing perhaps in a different way, and the intellectual discourse, which seems quite phony, the picture

Harry Potter’s got The Beat “Kill Your Darlings” (R), DIRECTED BY JOHN KROKIDAS COMING SOON

“Dear Mr. Watterson” (NR), DIRECTED BY JOEL ALLEN SCHROEDER NOW ON VOD [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

moves rhythmically, clunking along in a literal, linear fashion for much of its length, then skipping any sort of transition to move from one time to another. Adèle’s school days, for example, plod slowly for what seems like hours, then suddenly the movie shows her teaching a class full of delightful little kindergarteners, with no explanation of how she got from high school, through college, and into her profession.

The director appears to have studied at the feet of Eric Rohmer, whose films give French cinema a bad name. Despite all the odd lacunae, his literal approach to plotting shows a refusal to employ the efficiency of a wonderful visual medium, choosing instead a step-by-step narrative, a relentless repetition of action and dialogue. The fact that “Blue is the Warmest Color” takes three hours to tell its simple story suggests the failure of the director’s method; any self-respecting Hollywood hack could trim an hour off the picture’s inordinate length.

His camera work exhibits the same unimaginative approach, filming almost everything at eye level, with innumerable tight close-ups, and especially, a tiresome attention to Adèle Exarchopoulos’s mostly impassive face. The credits at the end of “Blue is the Warmest Color” state that the movie consists of chapters one and two; in keeping with the open-ended conclusion, other chapters in the long, dull story may follow.

Zut alors and sacre bleu, that means we may all find snails in our escargot.

“Kill Your Darlings” marks the latest, and possibly most successful step yet, in Daniel Radcliffe’s continued efforts to move away from his most recognizable role and carve out a career for himself beyond the world of Harry Potter. Since its debut at Sundance, director John Krokidas’ film has gained notoriety as the film in which the former boy wizard plays gay and takes drugs. But it deserves attention beyond that. Its strong performances buoy a compelling true story of one of the more scandalous, but lesser known, episodes in the early days of the Beat movement.

Radcliffe plays a young Allen Ginsberg just as he’s heading off to college at Columbia University in the fall of 1943. A rather shy, upstanding young man, he quickly falls under the spell of a charismatic and rebellious classmate

named Lucien Carr (Dane DeHaan, “The Place Beyond the Pines”). Before long, Carr is exposing Ginsberg to the joys of jazz and drugs, and introducing him to a circle of friends that includes William Burroughs (Ben Foster, “Ain’t Them Bodies Saints”) and Jack Kerouac (Jack Huston, “Boardwalk Empire”). Together, the young men experiment with any drug they can get their hands on (leading to several funny scenes of Ginsberg hopped up on speed, freaking his roommate out by frantically writing and running around their dorm room like a maniac) and dream of creating a fresh literary movement, which they dub “The New Vision,” that they believe will change the world.

Conflict comes in the form of David Kammerer (Michael C. Hall, “Dexter”) a former professor and occasional member of the group who is so hung up on Carr that he left his job just to follow the boy when he transferred to Columbia. The precise details of their relationship are deliberately left unclear, but for his part, Carr cruelly takes advantage of the man’s fixation by making him write his homework assignments. Despite these warning signs, Ginsberg finds himself similarly besotted with the young man. As Kammerer’s obsession turns more desperate, events begin to spiral out of control, ultimately leading one of the men to commit murder.

By leaving the specifics of Carr’s past ambiguous until late in the film, screenwriter Austin Bunn’s script robs the story’s climax of some of its emotional impact, and he tries to wrap things up a little too neatly with a happier ending than the film needed. But for the most part he tells an utterly absorbing tale. In his feature film debut, Krokidas is able to wring a lot of style out of a rather small budget and absolutely nails the period details.

It’s still a somewhat unsettling experience seeing Harry Potter engaging in explicit gay sex (though that will no doubt be big draw for many), but Radcliffe is

Feel your pulse quiver to the cat vs. metronome showdown! Watch in awe as chubby tabbies go for a swim! And giggle with delight as a kitten rides around on a vacuum cleaner! The inaugural Internet Cat Video Film Festival brought over 10,000 people to a parking lot in Minnesota at the height of summer. While we don’t expect to turn away 9,500 people, we hope you’ll pack the house for a program that only gets better when the crowd gets larger.

quite good in what is by far the least showy role in the film. I admire his desire to grow and challenge himself as an actor, and it will be interesting to see whether or not his fans stick with him through the journey.

But the true standout of the cast is Dane DeHaan, who’s quickly emerging as one of the more exciting young actors to come around in a while. He has great chemistry with Radcliffe, and he’s magnetic enough that the obsession Lucien inspires in those around him seems justified.

Recently released on video-on-demand,

“Dear Mr. Watterson” is director Joel Allen Schroeder’s love letter to “Calvin and Hobbes” cartoonist Bill Watterson’s comic strip about a mischievous 6-year-old boy and his best friend, a stuffed tiger named Hobbes. Far from juvenile, fans of the comic know how funny, moving, and wise Watterson’s work could be. Despite having ended in 1995, the strip still has millions of devoted fans and its collected volumes are popular sellers to this day. Watterson himself remains a somewhat enigmatic figure, staying almost completely out of the public eye and adamantly refusing to license the rights to his characters. But as Schroeder himself states, he isn’t interested so much in the man himself, but why his simple comic strip could have so much meaning and have such a personal impact on so many people all over the world.

Schroeder interviews academics, publishers, fellow cartoonists, and dozens of fans about what made “Calvin and Hobbes” so special. Full disclosure: I’ve been a lifelong fan of the strip, so I was pretty much guaranteed to like this film no matter what. Sure, Schroeder could have probed a little deeper to make a meatier film, but he has such obvious affection for his subject that its charm more than makes up for it. He’s made a heartfelt, fitting tribute to one of the great works of art in modern pop culture.

L’AVVENTURA

Saturday, November 23, 8 p.m.

Largely considered Antonioni’s breakthrough masterpiece, L’Avventura marked the director’s transition into his trademark deliberate pacing and careful composition.

The film chronicles the search for a woman whose disappearance leads to an illicit romance between her lover and her best friend. By forgoing narrative to focus on character development and atmosphere, L’Avventura helped to redefine film grammar for a new generation. Presented in a beautifully restored 35mm print from Janus Films. (Michelangelo Antonioni, Italy 1960, 143 min., Italian w/ subtitles, 35mm)

Steps from Highland Park 27 Bellevue Drive 27 Bellevue Drive is a lovely two-story Dutch Colonial Revival style home in the heart of the coveted Highland Park neighborhood. The location can’t be beat—it sits in close proximity to South Avenue’s eclectic shopping, a variety of dining choices, and the city’s crown jewel, Highland Park, with abundant opportunities for walking and family outings. There is a middle school across the street but the neighborhood is peaceful and quiet.

Entering through the front door brings you into the foyer that has a good size coat closet, a rarity in most older city homes.

There is room for a bench by the entryway for putting on shoes or boots as the winter approaches. Turning to the left takes you into the large living room with a gas fitted fireplace at one end that is flanked by the original bookcases. The ceilings are high, giving the feel of space without making the room seem cold. The porch off the living room is an entire living space on its own and the addition of outdoor curtains could very easily turn it into a space that could be enjoyed from early spring to late fall.

The house has radiator heat that makes for a warm but not dry environment during the winter months.

Coming back into the foyer you pass through one of two sets of original gumwood double doors and cross into the

well-lit dining room. The kitchen is directly off the dining room and has a feature that is near and dear to this author’s heart – the original cabinetry that reaches to the ceiling and large shelves above the stove that give plenty of room to store and display a wonderful collection of vintage glass or Pyrex bakeware. Down a few stairs and on the way to the basement is a small pantry that rounds out the ample storage for all your cooking and baking pieces. The stove and refrigerator are newer additions.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is very large with a pass-through closet. The other two bedrooms are decent-sized with additional closet space. A large linen closet with three drawers under three shelves sits in the hallway just outside the bathroom, which has a vintage look.

The home has a good-sized lawn area that can be reconfigured to give even more outdoor living space. A two-car garage with an attic for storage completes the property.

27 Bellevue offers 1,632 square feet of living space and a great urban neighborhood at an asking price of $154,900. If you would like to see this city gem, please contact Kim Donley of Nothnagle Realtors at 585-329-7848.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD Downtown London residences are known to be staggeringly expensive, but media blogger Sam Cookney calculated in October just how much. Cookney said he can live in an upscale apartment in Barcelona, Spain, and commute almost every workday to London (700 miles away) for less money than a modest central London rental. (Sixteen commuter days over four weeks a month would run, in pound-dollar equivalents: $2,420 for a West Hampstead rental, $121 council tax, and $188 transit travel card, totaling $2,730. Barcelona, in euro-dollar equivalents: $938 for a three-bedroom flat with three balconies near transit, no tax, $47 daily round-trip on Ryanair, $32 a day in airport transportation, totaling $2,202 -- a savings of $528 a month.) Plus, he said, sunny Barcelona is on the Mediterranean. (On the other hand, Cookney luckily can work on the plane, for each flight is two hours long.)

Can’t Possibly Be True

— Lawyers for Radu Dogaru, who is on trial in Romania for stealing masterpieces last year from the Kunsthal museum in Rotterdam, Netherlands, said the heist was also the museum’s fault -- for having such unimaginably lax security -- and that if the museum did not admit that, Dogaru would sue. Museum officials said they had tracked some of the works to Dogaru’s mother, who is claiming ignorance, and the son’s lawyers hope to discount any insurance-company judgments against her by spreading the blame.

— The online retailer Amazon.com maintains a side business of operating massive Internet-capacity “cloud” farms and contracts out space to some of the world’s largest entities, including U.S. government agencies. In a case brought to light in October by a U.S. Court of Claims ruling, Amazon had won its bid against IBM for a

cloud contract with the CIA, but had gone a step further by actually improving the CIA’s system and implementing a better plan. In the bizarre world of government contracts, that created a “fairness” problem, as IBM argued that its rights were violated because the specified contract work was no longer exactly what was being done (i.e., the client’s work was being done better). IBM lodged a time-consuming protest, but later dropped the suit.

— Update: Perhaps thousands of Baghdad residents have been killed by bomb couriers who had passed through supposedly secure checkpoints that were “equipped” with useless ADE-651 bomb “detectors,” but the devices were surely to be history following the April fraud conviction of the British scam artist who made $75 million selling them. (American officials had warned Iraqis for years that the ADE-651 was basically a novelty golf-ball finder.)

However, despite the debunking evidence brought out at trial, Iraqi police continue to use them, according to an October dispatch in London’s The Independent, with the September death toll at nearly 1,000 from bombers who passed through checkpoints, past silent ADE-651s. Even Prime Minister al-Maliki vouches that the ADE works “up to 60 percent” of the time.

Least Competent Criminals Recurring Theme: Joshua Goverman, 29, was arrested in Glendale, Ariz., in October for allegedly stealing copper wiring from the back of an air-conditioner truck in a driveway. The thief apparently had trouble pulling on the wires, and police found a human finger at the scene. Despite Goverman’s excuse (that he cut his finger during a “car repair”), the crimescene finger’s print matched Goverman’s other fingers’ prints.

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Romantic plans aren’t likely to run smoothly. Sit back and relax with friends for now, and let anyone showing interest to come to you. An inconsistency regarding what you want will make it difficult to make a personal promise to anyone.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Add communication, affection and romance into the mix, and you will find yourself head-overheels in love. Fast-paced and heading in a direction that is focused on a long-term commitment, you will be entranced by the events that unfold.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

You’ll have trouble making up your mind when it comes to a personal relationship. Leading someone on will only make matters more confusing. Take a pass if you are laboring over which way to go. Question both your motives and those of your wannabe partner.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t hold back when it comes to love. Pursue happiness, and you will find true love. The more fun you are to be with, the more attractive you will be to those you meet while out at events or participating in activities. Enjoy the moment and embrace life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Keep

moving. Trying to settle on one person will be difficult. Jealousy issues are apparent, as are limitations and frustrations. Don’t give in to someone putting pressure on you or restricting your freedom. For the time being, explore and experiment when it comes to love.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t put on a front or try to buy love. All you have to do is participate in singles events or an activity conducive to socializing and meeting new people, and you will find someone special. Love is within reach, but it won’t happen if you don’t make the effort.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Trying to keep the peace isn’t necessarily the way to find love. Emotional relationships and bending to what everyone else wants will not bring you happiness. Take a break and enjoy the company of different suitors. Make your choice based on the partner who is least demanding.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Check out someone from your past who you never quite got over, and you will set your heart free or find a way to make it work. Love is in a high cycle, but first you must take care of the feelings you hang on to from a previous relationship.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t let someone trick you into thinking he or she has changed.

Giving someone a second chance may ruin an opportunity you have to find true love. Bide your time and enjoy the company of friends until you find someone who rocks your world.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Mixing business with pleasure will lead to someone who shares your interests and concerns.

Take a unique approach to love, and the rest will be history.

A quick step and a hop will bring you closer to a long-term commitment. Don’t hesitate to show your persistence.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll attract secret affairs and partners carrying way too much baggage if you aren’t careful.

Get the lowdown on whoever you fancy before you let your heart get tangled in a mess that can lead to sorrow. Use your head and protect your heart.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Sharing your thoughts, ideas and solutions will put you in the spotlight and a prime position to attract personal partners.

Don’t shy away from someone who doesn’t share your background. The uniqueness someone brings to the relationship is what will hold your attention.
