Blackout sparks ‘Revolution’ In “Revolution,” producer J.J. Abrams’ epic drama coming to NBC Monday, Sept. 17, there’s a worldwide blackout. Unlike most, the lights don’t go back on. Ever. However, there are deeply hidden and coveted vestiges of electricity. The series questions what happens when not just the lights but anything that turns on switches off permanently, and we don’t know why or how. “I feel like people need this show now,” says Giancarlo Esposito (“Breaking Bad”), who stars as the show’s villainous Capt. Tom Neville. “People feel like we are in danger of the end of the world, and doom and gloom. And the show is about the end of an old way of thinking and a new dawn blooming. We are on the precipice of realizing that humanity is all we have. I see it in my children. I see it in our spiritual essence. We are forgetting what we know.

September 13th, 2012 - September 19th, 2012
“We losing our connection to electricity is just an analogy of us losing our connection to each other as well,” Esposito continues. “The deeper reconnection is to have to rely on each other.” Expect to hear people talk about “Revolution” in terms of a post-apocalyptic or a dystopian society, but no one knows if this blackout was the result of an apocalypse. Life as everyone knows it has changed so dramatically that cities no longer exist. A few people such as Ben, a mild-mannered guy with a wife and two kids, expected the cataclysmic event that launched the series. He quickly downloads valuable information onto a flash drive camouflaged as a pendant. Captain Neville and his henchmen come to seize Ben 15 years after the power ceased. The arrest goes wrong, Ben dies, and Neville winds up nabbing Ben’s son, Danny (Graham Rogers). This all happens very early on, so it is not a spoiler.

Charlie (Tracy Spiridakos, “Being Human”) is determined to rescue her brother, Danny. She seeks their long-lost uncle Miles (Billy Burke), who is tending bar in Chicago. Incidentally, there isn’t wheeled transportation or toilet paper in this world, but there is booze. Ultimately, the world is divided into two generations: those who knew what it was like to click on a device and be entertained and in touch with the world, and those to whom Wrigley Field was always an overgrown ruin. “So while people are struggling to hold onto shreds of the old society and struggling to get the lights back on and figure out the solutions to the mystery, there’s Charlie’s generation, who see this almost as a pastoral, simple place that they grew up (in),” co-executive producer Jon Favreau (“Iron Man”), who directed the pilot, says in a press conference.

Unbeknownst to them, their pet platypus Perry has a double life as suave secret Agent P, deftly battling the evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz to save the world. Meanwhile, older sister Candace is aghast at her brothers’ antics and makes it her life’s work to tattle on them to Mom and Dad, though somehow she can never seem to catch them red-handed.

A down and out skid row floral assistant becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving. Soon “Audrey II” grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore who offers him fame and fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite.
Punkplay
Presented by Stray Cat Theatre at Tempe Performing Arts Center Thursday 7:00pm Friday and Saturday 8:00pm Sunday 2:00pm It’s 1985. Reagan’s in office. Greed rules Wall Street. Coke decides it’s a good idea to release “New” Coke. In a suburban bedroom, Mickey, a thirteen-year-old suburban misfit, is befriended by an angry runaway named Duck. Both are about ready to explode out of their adolescence when they discover…punk rock. Its righteous fury becomes a foundation for the boys to reinvent themselves and create a self-defining belief system that revolutionizes their universe. But as reality threatens to crash in on them, their fabricated world of amped-up music and shocking band names becomes just as oppressive as the society they’re desperate to reject. punkplay is a wild, comical mix-tape tribute to the excesses and energy of adolescence.

plot. Parts of writer/director Nicholas Jarecki’s new thriller may go over the heads of most viewers – especially those who were left completely stumped by last year’s ‘Margin Call.’ Fortunately, the filmmaker mirrors his more complicated issues with downto-earth ones, creating a compelling piece of entertainment for not only day traders but the rest of us, as well.” Grade: C

‘Samsara’ Transporting viewers to sacred grounds, disaster zones, industrial sites and natural wonders, while encouraging their own inner interpretations about the elusive current of interconnection that runs through our lives inspired by images and music. (PG-13 – 99 minutes)
‘Arbitrage’ Richard Gere plays a New York hedge-fund magnate who is about to unload his troubled empire just as an unexpected bloody error forces him to juggle family, business and crime, igniting the suspicions of a police detective (Tim Roth). (R – 100 minutes) Stan: “Writer/director Nicholas Jarecki delivers the perfect blend of mystery, intrigue, and financial insight in this taunt thriller. Richard Gere excels as the central focus of a person straddling a multitude of fences while excellent performances by the supporting cast add an extreme sense of believability for a story that holds one on the edge to the very last revealing sequence.” Grade: AJoseph: “‘Arbitrage’ is a good film that could have been great had it used its financial aspects as a background stressor as opposed to its primary

Joseph: “‘Samsara’ is two movies in one. Unfortunately, only one of them belongs on a big screen instead of on the walls of a museum. The new dialogue-free documentary from Ron Fricke, who served as both its director and photographer, is breathtakingly beautiful but the first and final 30 minutes of the film feature more art than entertainment. However, the middle of the movie – during which Fricke finds magnificent meaning in mundane, modern-day things – delivers some of the most spectacular cinematic sensations of the year.” Grade: C

Soundbite Spotlight The following quotes were pulled from interviews conducted by AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazine’s film columnists with talent speaking on behalf of movies recently released in theaters.
Writer/Director Nicholas Jarecki (‘Arbitrage’) By Joseph J. Airdo “I began writing ‘Arbitrage’ in 2009. It was a time of the 1.0 of financial disasters. We are getting up to 2.0 now but that was kind of the beginning. Everything had been great and then, all of a sudden, everything was turned upside-down. So I started reading all of this financial journalism and it captivated my interest because I am a New Yorker and I grew up around the financial industry. My parents were both commodities
traders and brokers so it was a world that I really knew a lot about.
Actress/Co-writer Lauren Miller
“I started thinking about this hedge fund manager and getting deeper into his story. Instead of just saying what happens if a guy like this metaphorically gets blood on his hands, I thought that it would be more thrilling and exciting if I looked at it literally and carried it over into the realm of a real blood crime. How far will this man go to not die in jail? Because that is what is going to happen to him if he is unable to solve his problems.
(‘For a Good Time, Call...’)
“The situations in the film are naturally stressful. You have a man who has made mistakes, is a few hundred million dollars in debt and is about to be discovered when something even worse happens – a death – for which he is responsible. This is a movie about a slippery slope. With each deception, he becomes further and further compromised and puts those he loves in more and more danger. The question we wanted to ask was, ‘Will you give up the power that you love in order to hang on to your last shred of humanity?’” – Nicholas Jarecki
“All my life, I have been the kind of person who loves to hear the word ‘no’ because that will then motivate me to say, ‘I am going to do this anyway.’ But I do not think that I fully realized that word’s power until now. It really did fuel me. Finding the confidence within myself to do something like this was huge for me. And I am still finding it every day.

By Joseph J. Airdo In “For a Good Time, Call...” which opened last weekend, Lauren Miller plays a young woman who, after reluctantly moving in with an enemy from her past (Ari Graynor), discovers that her new roommate is working as a phone-sex operator and decides to sign on as her business partner. Miller also cowrote the comedy’s screenplay.
“The phone-sex stuff that is in the movie is funny. It is not realistic. We just had fun. It was about making each other laugh and being true to the world that we were creating – not necessarily the titillating real life world of phone-sex. The things that

But she has got this range to her that is just so huge and so beautiful. We wrote the screenplay with her in mind. “We shot the movie in 16 days so time was tight and we used all of the golden moments that we had. [Seth Rogen] begged us to be in the movie. He auditioned like 10 times. We did not want to cast him because, after all, who would want him in their movie? So, he finally said, ‘I will sleep with you if you let me in your movie.’ No, really, he was awesome about it. We were brushing our teeth one night and I said, ‘Hey, you are funny. Will you be in the movie?’ And he agreed.” – Lauren Miller

guided meditation on the themes of birth, death, and rebirth. Mark and I go back about 35 years. I worked on a film called ‘Koyaanisqatsi’, Mark and I met after that and we wanted to take this concept of interconnection on a global level so we went out and made ‘Baraka’ (1992)which is about humanity’s relationship to the eternal. Continuing that themeis ‘Samsara’ and as you say, it’s quite a commitment of 5 years, you really give up a lot, being out on the road for 3 years of filming in 25 countries. It’s a big commitment to bringing back that perfect imagery for the film. “Reactions at screenings has been very favorable, people are amazed at what’s going on around them that they haven’t really seen, and they get a sense from watching the film that life is really very fragile and that comes across through the sand mandala being created and then being destroy at the end of the film, and that’s the overall central theme
of theimpermanence and people come away sensing that they have many choices to make, and there’s many paths to follow for rebirth and humans to transform themselves…” – Ron Fricke “I knew with your production background your curiosity of the physicality of filming ‘Samsara’ would be upper most! We both worked as writers and editors on the film, and collaborated throughout the total process. It’s a major undertaking to move all of the 70mm equipment and crew through the 25 countries so there were lots of the various job slots where we and the crew wore double and triple hats. “Ron’s really shooting the film, he’s behind the lenses making those key decisions about what imagery, what lens, whether it’s a dolly shot, or a portrait shot, doing all the research on the locations before we went out and shot them, and ultimately the editing process. “It took about a year in postproduction, and, we edited the film in silence without any music and brought the music in later. We added it in sequence and structured the film by mood, and moving the sequences around based on the structural foundation of the sand mandala sequence. The sand mandala is the bookends of the film and used it as a metaphor to show people how fragile we are and how things change…” – Mark Magidson

In “October Baby,” Rachel Hendrix plays a college freshman who sets out on a road trip with her misfit friends to discover herself after learning that she is an abortion survivor. In an instance where art imitates life, Shari Rigby plays her reluctant birth mother.

It was just so overwhelming. As actors, we get scripts and go through a preparation process for roles so that we can be great storytellers. But then if, all

My favorite wine of the moment By Josh Moffitt, www. ArizonaVinesAndWines.com I may or may not have ADD, but I definitely do have a short attention span. Since I began my journey of drinking and learning about wine, when I find something I like, I like to repeat the experience over and over again, repeatedly and incessantly, without end. This is okay, because by the time I have worn it out; my attention has already moved onto something else anyhow, asmy palate evolves. My favorite wine of the moment received 91 points from Wine Spectator and was listed on their 2011 “Top 100,” coming in at #54, the 2009 Catena Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina. The label proudly proclaims winemaker Nicolas Catena “2009 Decanter Man of the Year” – Decanter Wine Magazine, London, UK. However, the vines were selected by his daughter, Laura Catena. Laura, in addition to being the winemaker, happens to be a doctor and she’s kind hot, too. She selected Malbec grapes from four different high-altitudefamily owned vineyards ranging from 28504856ft. elevation and the blend incorporates signature qualities from each vineyard.

Wine fans often wonder about professional wine tasters—the wine journalists, raters and scorers, and wine buyers in the trade. How can person write about or rate so many wines from just one or two tastings? And when does “palate fatigue” set in? I rely on the notion that certain skills separate the pros from the fans in almost anything in life. It takes a great deal of talent, practice, concentration and innate giftedness to become a leading professional. In the case of wine tasting, strong sensory abilities are vital and you must be able to translate them into words. Professional wine tasting is regarded as one of the most difficult aspects of the wine trade. Sometimes the tastings are “double blind”-- the tasters know nothing about the wines – the bottles are covered completely. More commonly, the tasters have an awareness of the wines they are about to taste. There are three basic actions the taster does: Look (for color, clarity, viscosity), Smell (for aromas), and Taste (for flavor and texture). Professional wine tasters spit – to not do so would be improper. The correct glassware is used, with some tasters even bringing their own tasting glasses. And the wines are tasted without food, not even crackers or water, which might unfairly change the taster’s perception of the wine. Tastings happen in a variety of ways. There are vineyard trips, where professionals visit multiple vineyards in one day and taste all the wines on offer. By week’s end, they may have covered more than 100 wines. Private wine trade fairs are another arena for the professionals, with thousands of wines from a country or region. The tasters, each with his/her own game plan hit the booths all day. I’ve been to these several times and they are really fun, albeit exhausting. Other tasting events are very restricted and controlled: they occur at the same time of day, the wines are uncorked at exactly the same time, and they carefully check that the wine temperatures are the same.
7131 WEST RAY ROAD SUITE 45 CHANDLER, AZ 85226
As for palate fatigue, my own view is even the professionals have a daily limit before they risk burning out. That’s part of being a professional – knowing when it’s time to call it a day! Next week, we will talk about your own wine tasting technique.

●● Fruit is an omnipresent characteristic in wine, since grapes are, well, fruit. But there are surprising aromas that make it into wine bouquets. Take for instance:
Get Smart: A Condensed Wine Aroma Guide Want to be slightly savvier at your next wine tasting? Take a look over the following basic wine aromatics and attempt to commit the characteristics to memory.
o Banana, melon and apricot. To experience this yourself try a Malvasia Bianca from Arizona, like Vino de la Familia Blanca from Page Springs Cellars. o Fig, prune and raisin. These aromas come from grapes that are grown in hot climates. It’s likely
that many of the grapes used in such a wine have literally turned into raisins. ●● Herbaceous “green” aromas are unpleasant to some and are sometimes considered “flaws,” though many green scents can be pleasant. o Green pepper is a classic flaw, in that it indicates the vines were not pruned back enough and the grapes did not mature fully or properly. o Tobacco and straw are

two dried green aromas that are quite pleasant in the right wine. Grab a bottle of Bordeaux and just think wet straw while sampling. ●● Here are some of the more “outthere” descriptions used by aficionados. o Medicinal—think BandAids. Some cask-aged whiskies smell of nothing else, and—while an acquired taste—can be highly intriguing. o Bacon. Try looking for this in Syrah, Petit Sirah and Zinfandels that have been aged in newer oak. Something about the fruitiness and toastiness combine to create Applewood-smoked bacon notes!

Chicken Little Recently a first grade teacher in a small Arizona ranching community was reading the story of “Chicken Little” to her class. She came to the part where Chicken Little warns the farmer. ”And Chicken Little went up to the farmer and yelled – THE SKY IS FALLING-THE SKY IS FALLING!” she replied The teacher put the book down and asked the class, “So…what do you think that farmer said after hearing that warning?” There was a pause, then finally little 6 year old Victoria raised her hand and replied, “I think the farmer said: HOLY CRAP…..A TALKING CHICKEN!” It took that teacher 10 minutes to restore order in her class. The Living Will Willy was sitting in the living room in his underwear as usual watching a talk show about horrible medical conditions when his wife walked in from her job at the truck stop diner. He looked up and replied…”Charlene…. Just so you know, I don’t never want
to live in a vegetative state, dependent on a damn machine and fluids from a bottle. Honey babe, If that ever happens to me - you just pull that damn plug.” Charlene never hesitated a moment - she walked over, unplugged the TV, then threw the bottle of Jim Beam that Willy was sipping on out the window! The Big Fight Marv was on his way with his new lovely young wife to one of the big boxing events of the year that he had paid top dollar for ring side seats. He had tried to get her ready early, but she wanted to look really sexy for this big night out. Finally they arrived, dashed thru the parking lot and into the arena just as the opening bell rang. As they reached their seats and sat down, the champ hit the canvas with a thud and was counted out! As the crowd began to file out, Marv turned to his new bride and said in a condescending tone “You know, I was really looking forward to this evening, and look - it’s over in less than 3 minutes!” His young bride, who had not spoken
a word since they arrived, stood up, straightened her dress, looked down at her new older hubby and snapped “So you’re complaining that it was over in less than 3 minutes?...Well, Guess what - Now you know how I feel” A Lesson In Sex And Good Grammar On his 69th birthday, Charlie got a gift certificate from his wife. The certificate paid for a visit to a medicine man with a traveling show in town for the weekend. Charlie’s wife had been told this ancient potion maker was rumored to have a wonderful cure for erectile dysfunction. So Charlie drove to the outskirts of town, knocked on the door of the trailer, handed his certificate to the medicine man and wondered what he was in for. The old man handed him a potion in a small vial and with a grip on Charlie’s shoulder - warned him, “This is a powerful potion, during the next full moon, which is tomorrow night, take only one drop on your tongue and then say in a loud voice ‘1-2-3.’ “When you do, you will become more of a man than
you have ever been and you’ll be able to perform as long as you want.” Charlie was excited, but as he left, he turned and asked, “Wait, what if I’ve had enough - how do I stop the medicine from working?” “To get it to stop working - your partner must say 1-2-3-4” he responded, “but when she does, the medicine will not work again until the next full moon.” Charlie was very eager to see if it worked, so the next evening he showered and invited his wife to join him in the bedroom. When she came in he put a drop of the potion on his tongue, dropped his robe and yelled, “12-3!” Immediately, he was the manliest of men. His wife was excited and began ripping off her clothes – then she smiled and said “Charlie this is unbelievable …but why were you yelling the numbers 1-2-3 for?” And that, boys and girls, is why we should never end our sentences with a preposition, because we could end up with a dangling participle.

Mozzie from ‘White Collar’ We all know really smart guys who don’t care much about what they wear, and few of them look as good as Mozzie (Willie Garson) on the USA Network series “White Collar.” “I like the idea of our show,” says costume designer Karen Malecki. “It’s really clean and upscale and fashiony. It’s a lot of fun to dress the characters in that regard. It’s not very realistic; everybody looks perfect all the time, and we have a really good time with that.” The only challenge is getting great clothes for a decent price and staying within the budget – something most of us can relate to. “I find great things for Mozzie at Barneys and the Gap; it really runs the gamut for him,” Malecki says. “Whatever I think is good for his character.”

Travel Guide Philadelphia – the birthplace of the United States, the Cradle of Liberty, the home of incredible beer. Didn’t know about that last one, did you? While Phoenix has been growing in size and challenging Philly for the title of 5th Largest City in the United States, Philadelphia has been growing a beer culture that rivals some of the best in the country. Let’s deal with the history part first. Bostonians may disagree with the Cradle of Liberty moniker but in reality the major claim they have made is James Otis’ passionate antiBritish speech in 1761. Certainly some key Revolutionary War moments happened in and around

Boston, but Philadelphia is the place where Continental Congress and Constitutional Convention did their work. The city where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were drafted debated and signed. While Boston certainly can claim a large bit of outstanding history, Philly is the city where things happened. Boston also has a great beer culture, but we are here to look at Philly. This city was founded in 1682 and its beer culture dates back even earlier. When William Penn arrived in Pennsylvania there were already taverns serving a variety of beer. In fact Penn’s boat anchored next to a transplanted Irish Pub called The Blue Anchor. Since the water at

the time was virtually undrinkable, beer was the logical choice for hydration. By the time of the War for Independence it is said that Philadelphia had a tavern for every 25 men and along with Boston, more taverns than anywhere in the English speaking world. Old City Tavern which was originally built in 1773 sits in Independence National Park and is filled with history. It was the “unofficial” meeting place for the First Continental Congress in 1774, a place of celebration for delegates to Congress on the first anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and hosted a dinner in honor of General Washington at the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention in September of 1787.
porters in general; and finally, Hamilton’s Federalist Ale, a nice pale ale which is produced exclusively for City Tavern. A nice sized sampler of all four will set you back on $12. Staying in the historical area, another mandatory stop is Eulogy Belgian Tavern. Just three blocks from Independence Hall near Penns Landing, Eulogy boasts 300 bottles and 21 draught beers. The menu focus is on Belgian and casual American food with amazing mussels. Eulogy has been ranked as the fifth best beer restaurant in the country by RateBeer.com. Make sure you try the Eulogy Busty Blonde, a nice beer brewed exclusively for Eulogy by La Binchoise. If German beers are your thing go toe Bierstube Tsingtau, just a few blocks from Eulogy. Undeniably the largest selection of German beers in Philly, they also cater to the craft crowd. Plenty of authentic Bavarian food is available along with a few American favorites. Another great stop in the historic area is Khyber Pass Pub. Once it was the city’s classic rock and roll bar, and now it is an incredible craft beer bar with a New Orleans flair. Gumbo, oysters, boudin balls and an assortment of other foods from the Crescent City are on the menu and no matter Fox Cigar what, try the roast beef with debris gravy. As for beer, expect to see Continued on Page 38...

None of that has anything to do with drinking beer in Philadelphia today…except that City Tavern still stands and it serves four unique beers patterned after the beers of the Revolution. In fact, their four beers, made by Yards Brewing are called Ales of the Revolution. They include Poor Richard’s Tavern Spruce, based on Ben Franklin’s original recipe, Jefferson’s Tavern Ale which features wheat, honey and rye (the original used ingredients from Monticello, his Virginia estate), General Washington’s Tavern Porter, inspired by Washington’s recipe, but reflective of Philadelphia-style

Hello again friends, today I’d like to tell you about a brew very dear to my heart. Apriquat Pale Ale from Sierra Nevada Brewing in Chico, California. Why is this brew so important you ask? Well, it’s a damn fine brew if I do say so myself, but more importantly because I helped formulate the recipe and brew it!
BEER! SECTION
APRIQUAT PALE, Here’s To Brewing!
The experience was called Beer Camp. A select group of individuals are brought together to brew on Sierra Nevada’s smaller pilot brew house for the sake of research and development. The beers are released in very small quantity in the states where the Beer Camp members are from to test for popularity. I was fortunate enough to brew with Jim Lolli from the Hungry Monk and the owners of Hamilton’s Tavern, Churchill’s Pub &Slaters 50/50 all in San Diego. Now back to the beer! Apriquat is a very session-able west coast pale ale with just a hint of apricots and kumquats added to the mix for a crisp, clean and refreshing yet unexpected experience. Brewed with a large modicum of Citra hops it’s got a semi spicy citrus appeal perfect for hot weather drinking. Coming in at just over 5% ABV, it’s a beer made for all day or night consumption. It pairs quite nicely with hot and spicy wings or a Ruben stuffed with warm pastrami.
Check out where to enjoy and purchase these local brands on “Beer Spy” at www.worldclassbeer.com AZWeeklyMagazine.com
I must admit that I am IN LOVE with this brew but not just because I helped brew it, instead because it’s yet another example of how great session beers can be. Following in the footsteps of Firestone WalkerPale 31 and Stone Pale Ale, these are beers with big flavour that aren’t built like Sherman Tanks. These are beers made simply for the pure enjoyment of drinking beer. Until Next Week, Cheers!

you can get any beer at either bar) and a better feel for a traditional Belgian neighborhood bar. Don’t ask to see the vintage list unless you have just raised your credit limit, because some of these beers will have you ordering first and figuring out how to pay for it later. Center City has a lot more than Monk’s to offer. Remember the aforementioned Copa II? It is now called Jose Pistola’s and it embodies the Philadelphia beer scene. If you want a Yuengling Lager, you can get it here…along with PBR and Miller Lite, but don’t let that scare you craft drinkers away. At any given time you will find specialties from Great Lakes, Lancaster Brewing, Allagash and others available. An incredible bottle list is also available. Perch Pub hasn’t been open too long, but they have figured out how to do craft beer. A recent visit found beers on tap from 21st Amendment, Brooklyn, Lavery, Stoudt’s and Hill Farmstead. Downtown is also home to one of Philadelphia’s favorite breweries, Nodding Head. When you walk up the stairs to this second floor brewpub, you are greeted with a display of well over 100 bobble head dolls, with more behind the bar. The seven barrel brewery is right there, and the jukebox is a classic. Everything is set for a perfect

morning, afternoon and/or evening. Start out with the sampler…and that may be where you end, since it includes seven ounce pours of all seven beers on tap. If that scares you, the Berliner Weisse (woodruff syrup available upon request) and Rascal are both outstanding; and if the IPA is on tap, go for it. Open most days from 11:00 AM to 2:00 AM, this is the place to go no matter when you want a beer. No trip to Philly would be complete without indulging in the five basic food groups. In Philadelphia that includes cheese steaks, soft pretzels, Taylor pork roll, water ice and scrapple. Cheese steaks will be good anywhere. Don’t feel like you have to get them with Cheese Whiz, Provolone or American is perfectly acceptable, and fried onions are optional. Cheese steaks are considered a rite of passage in Philly. Every politician has to be photographed eating one and they are critiqued. Rumor has it that John Kerry lost the vote of Philadelphians when he asked for his steak with Swiss Cheese. One word of warning to you desert dwellers looking for a good cheese steak… most of the time, if they advertise it as a Philly cheese steak, it ain’t. Soft pretzels go without saying. They are the perfect post-concert or post-game snack. Get them just about anywhere, usually in brown Continued on Page 41...

Don’t let that deter you, get this delicacy grilled up nice and crispy and have it with over easy eggs and home fries for another great breakfast treat. That about covers a trip to Philadelphia.

Taylor pork roll has been made since 1856 and while the recipe is kept secret, it is a tasty salami like meat. Get it for breakfast with a fried egg, cheese and always on a Kaiser roll. Water ice is uniquely Philadelphia. Not quite an Italian Ice, not quite a Slurpee, it is similar to the former but has a consistency closer to the latter. Usually fruit flavored, frequently containing real fruit chunks, this has been a Philadelphia secret for years. Recently, a chain called Rita’s has opened in Arizona and offers authentic Water Ice.

“nothing like a cheers bar” Doc and Eddies bar in Tempe has been a local favorite in, but I was just introduced to it. Most people there know eachother and the bartender is a sassy kind of guy, it’s really fun. They have happy hour daily from 11am7pm with awesome specials. $2 domestic pints and drafts, 2.50 well and wine, 2.50 16oz cans of PBR, and all day pool tables with the purchase of an entree on Sundays!! The food specials change daily, but they do have some killer french fries and chicken tenders. With two PBRS and my entree, my bill was just over ten big ones. If you love that local vibe, neighborhood bar kinda place, then this spot’s calling your name. Rural and Baseline, just behind the gas station.

And a Rookie (at 28) Will Lead Them BY GEORGE DICKIE
ot that long ago, it was almost unheard of that a team would start a rookie at quarterback, given the damage that could potentially be done to the young player’s psyche – especially one with a big contract. But with the firstyear successes of Mark Sanchez, Cam Newton and Andy Dalton, to name a few, more and more teams are willing to assume that risk if it might mean a big payoff on the field. And one of the latest members of

that club would be the Cleveland Browns’ Brandon Weeden, who, though technically a rookie at 28, is certainly one who has been through the wars. Ten years ago, the Oklahoma City native was a big right-hander with a 95-mph fastball in the New York Yankees system. But injuries and a high ERA never let him get above A-ball. He was out of baseball four years, two teams and one broken-bat homer later.

GRAMMY AWARDWINNING PIANIST MURRAY PERAHIA OPENS 25TH SEASON OF VIRGINIA G. PIPER CONCERT SERIES
In the more than 35 years he has been performing on the concert stage, Murray Perahia has become one of today’s most sought-after and cherished pianists, performing in all of the major international music centers and with every leading orchestra. Born in New York, Perahia started playing piano at the age of 4, and later attended Mannes College where he majored in conducting and composition. In subsequent years, he developed a close friendship with Vladimir Horowitz, whose perspective and personality were an abiding inspiration. Perahia has earned numerous honors throughout his career, including first place at the 1972 Leeds International Piano Competition and two Grammy Awards for his recordings of Chopin’s complete Etudes and Bach’s English Suites Nos. 1, 3 and 6. He is the principal guest conductor of Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, with whom he has toured as conductor and pianist throughout the United States,

Artist Awards this month, starting her set at 6:30pm. This Festival has grown to about 3,000 people filling the historic Warren Ballpark built in 1908 by the Phelps Dodge mining company as a recreation for the miners and their families, pre-dating the construction of Chicago’s Wrigley Field by nearly five years! The forecast is looking good for a cool day low 80’s and beautiful sunshine all day in Bisbee this weekend. Take me out to the ballpark for fun in the sun and great blues any time!

And the ultimate finale… one last look at one of the most dangerous stunts ever performed in the history of man-kind by the bravest and most daring of men….
#10 Nik Wallenda / Tightrope Walker The tiny speck amid the raging waters of the Niagara River that night, was Nik Wallenda, the daredevil who braved the treachery of Niagara Falls, successfully crossing 1,800 feet across the gorge on a twoinch wire. And it’s not like he had any pressure. Live cameras were trained on Wallenda as he managed careful, calculated steps through the drenching spray. Holding his balancing wire 200 feet above the
rushing river, the falls roared around him, but the unforgiving power of nature was no match for the determined stunt-master. He stepped off the platform – and away from safety – on the U.S. side of the falls. The precarious journey took more than 25 minutes to complete, with at least four television cameras trained on every possible angle. An estimated 112,000 people crowded the shores on both sides of the falls to watch the stunt. Well done sir. We salute you!
