DRALION
By Cirque du Soleil Nov 28 – Dec 2, 2012
DRA-PHO-034106
NO1
034106
Dralion is a signature Cirque du Soleil production acclaimed by more than seven million people worldwide since it premiered in 1999 in Montreal, Canada. After many years performing under the big top, Dralion will now be presented at US Airways Arena and in arenas throughout the United States and Canada, with the same quality performance.
Date de Création
09/10/2012
No de Matériel
Fusing the 3,000 year-old tradition of Chinese acrobatic arts with the multidisciplinary approach of Cirque du Soleil, Dralion draws its inspiration from Eastern philosophy and its neverending quest for harmony between humans and nature. The show’s name is derived from its two emblematic creatures: the dragon, symbolizing the East, and the lion, symbolizing the West.

Linguistique
Linéature : Safety : XXX Infographiste : Robert
In Dralion, the four elements that govern the natural order take on a human form. Thus, embodied, each element is represented by its own evocative color: air is blue; water is green; fire is red; earth is ochre. In the world of Dralion, cultures blend, Man and Nature are one, and balance is achieved.

Tennessee Williams’ landmark drama of the culture clash between the old South and the rising urban working class is an essential live theatrical experience.

Set amidst a steamy 1940s summer in New Orleans’ French Quarter, raw pathos leads ultimately to tragedy.

Agatha Christie Murder Mystery And Then There Were None Presented by Fountain Hills Community Theatre at Fountain Hills Theater Mainstage Thursday, Friday & Saturday 8:00 p.m. Sunday - 2:00 p.m. In this fun whodunit based on the popular Agatha Christie novel, eight guests who have never met each other before are lured by a cryptic invitation to a deserted island home and marooned, along with two house servants. Their host, an eccentric millionaire unknown to all of them, is nowhere to be found. An odd cluster of statuettes -ten little soldiers -- sits on the fireplace mantel, accompanied by a nursery rhyme poem telling how each of the ten soldiers meets his death, “until there were none.” As the group assembles for cocktails before dinner, a mysterious voice accuses each of having gotten away with murder -- and indeed, each has a dark secret in his or her past. As the group members start falling victim to murder one at a time, the remaining guests race to discover the shocking identity of the murderer before no suspects remain!

Among the local artists displaying designs is Edna Harris of Casa Grande, a master at transitioning ordinary into extraordinary. Harris realized her passion for art in 2002 and has expanded her eclectic taste and talent ever since. Starting with an interest in acrylics, moving to watercolor, and then incorporating
discarded objects, Harris’s artwork has evolved into beautiful mixed media creations. What makes her designs so unique? Not only are her hand-made collages one-of-akind, often including abandoned treasures found in the Arizona desert, but each signature piece uses candy wrappers in one way or another. As an artist, Harris’s goal is to Edna Harris’s Candy Wrapper Art entitled “Love Those Colors!” “combine various with an original, themed watercolor media in order to create a world of piece that is made complete when potential, interpretation, and most of accented by dismantled objects and all, fun.” Her creative process begins

everyday items found along the way. From a base of words or phrases, embellishments like rusty washers, keys, tea tags, and candy wrappers (of course!), these incorporated items enhance the desired effect. Harris hopes her artwork “will have a little different interpretation of meaning for everyone. An antique key may represent the meaning of the piece while the candy wrappers add a touch of whimsy everyone can enjoy.” You can find out how Harris’s work inspires you at the Festival as she takes you on a journey through color, design, and your imagination. For the music lovers, Phoenix’s own Mogollon will perform three daily doses of good old American entertainment with boot stomping beats. Named after the high limestone cliffs of Arizona, Mogollon is a mix of the laid-back beach lifestyle of Mexico with the heavier rhythms and electric bass riffs of rock ‘n’ roll. “Our chemistry on stage is simply magnetic; the audience should expect some wholesome, real, positive energy in our live performance,” said lead singer, Duane Moore. Mogollon is excited to kick-start the weekend with a set list full of fan favorites ranging from Hank Williams to Pink Floyd, fused with original songs written by the band. “The Festival is for people to come

Reviewers’ Roundtable The following are reactions from each of AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazine’s film commentators in an effort to generate a well-rounded overview of this weekend’s new releases.
Randy Montgomery, AZ Weekly Film Critic
Listen to Joseph J. Airdo’s “Movie Maverick” radio segment, every Friday morning at 8:30 a.m. during “The Daily Blender with Jeffry O’Brien” on KBSZ - NBC 1260 AM and 96.1 FM

Airdo, 28, is a Walter Cronkite School of Journalism graduate with a bachelor’s degree in media analysis and criticism. Read his full features and reviews exclusively online at Examiner.com/Phoenix.
‘Alex Cross’* Tyler Perry plays a young homicide detective/psychologist who meets his match in a serial killer (Matthew Fox). The two face off in a highstakes game of cat and mouse, but when the mission gets personal, he is pushed to the edge of his moral and psychological limits. (PG-13 – 101 minutes) *Screened after deadline.
‘Bringing Up Bobby’ Milla Jovovich plays a nomadic European con artist who, in an effort to escape her murky past and build a better future for her 10-year-old American-born son (Spencer List), finds herself living in Oklahoma. However, when her criminal past finally catches up with her, she is forced to make the toughest judgment of all. (PG-13 – 93 minutes)
October 18th, 2012 - October 24th, 2012
Joseph: In “Bringing Up Bobby,” star Milla Jovovich employs an accent that sounds so artificial that her character appears as though she is always performing some sort of scheme. Granted, as a con artist, she actually is doing exactly that but one would think she would at least be genuine around her son. In addition to Jovovich’s inability to act herself out of the “Resident Evil” franchise, writer/director Famke Janssen’s comedy is filled with over-the-top, condescendingly stereotypical characters that make it close to impossible for viewers to have any sincere sentiments toward them. On the other hand, its extreme eccentricity is entertaining. (Grade: D)
‘The First Time’ Dylan O’Brien plays a high school senior who spends most of his time pining away over a girl he cannot have. Britt Robertson plays a junior who has artistic aspirations and a boyfriend who does not quite understand her. A casual conversation sparks an instant connection and, over the course of a weekend, things turn magical, romantic and complicated. (PG-13 – 98 minutes)
AZWeeklyMagazine.com
Stan: This latest entry by writer/ director Jon Kasdan as it presents the angst of the high school/college teen coping with the challenges of young people coming of age, tends to be a bit ‘preachy’ at times. ‘The First Time’ has the insightful lessons, the prerequisite positive spin, and a solidly convincing cast, reminds us adults of those first experiences in our own lives and just how much the world has changed for young teens today. (Grade: C+) Joseph: “The First Time” plays out like “Before Sunrise” or “Before Sunset” had Richard Linklater made them when he was just a teenager – or at least a virgin. Writer/director Jon Kasdan’s new romantic dramedy has significantly more intelligence and emotional depth than most movies made for this particular demographic. And although star Britt Robertson is a little unlikeable – in a needy, immature kind of way – and the movie is, at times, too moralizing, watching these two characters fall in what appears to be a very intimate and honest version of love is a sweetly enjoyable experience. (Grade: C)
‘The Paperboy’ Matthew McConaughey plays investigative reporter who, with the help of his younger brother (Zac Efron) and a sultry death-row groupie (Nicole Kidman), tries to prove that a violent swamp-dweller (John Cusack) was framed for the murder of a corrupt local sheriff. (R – 106 minutes) Stan: Dark and foreboding in its cinematic style, director Lee Daniels guides the cast to deliver a disturbingly haunting story of obsessions, and extremes, with a mesmerizing performance by Nicole Kidman who virtually sheds all references to her accent, mannerisms, and previous roles persona. Although ‘The Paperboy’ may be called a smaller indie film, Nicole Kidman’s performance as a woman from the Florida swamps ranks high on my list of best actresses in 2012. (Grade: B) Joseph: If it were not for “The Paperboy’s” stellar cast, it would have been a complete mess of a movie. Fortunately, director Lee Daniels’ new nostalgic crime drama has not one, not two, not three but four talented actors on which it can lean and keep viewers somewhat satisfied. Although its atmosphere is also quite commendable, its strange editing style and tendency to become boring in between scenes that appear to be controversial simply for the sake of being controversial drag it down. The movie remains relatively watchable but it squanders

along – we are all connected and that connection is the human heart. Prince uses the documentary to introduce tools and techniques that assist viewers on their personal heartcentered journey. (NR – 86 minutes) Joseph: “Sacred Journey of the Heart” is – or at least aspires to be – the next big thing in selfimprovement infotainment, following in the footsteps of “The Secret” and “What the Bleep Do We Know?” However, although producer Ronna Prince’s motion picture is an admirable attempt to help people acquire the connectivity they crave in order to make sense of life, it remains nothing more than a gimmick – poorly packaged in an ultra-low-budget documentary in which so-called spiritual advisers speak their wisdom in voices that are somehow both monotonous and melodramatic while looking slightly to the right of the camera. (Grade: F)

Unfortunately, it also proves that they have remained unexplored until now for good reason. Like any collection of vignettes, the new horror flick features a mixed bag of material. Only one of the shorts – a creature feature from director David Bruckner – is really worth watching, whereas the rest range from bad to worse. Although they utilize creative concepts, such as Skype and video glitches, said stories wear out their welcome well before the end of their brief runtimes. (Grade: D)

his daughter (Kaya Scodelario), inspiring the envy and mistrust of his son (Lee Shaw). (NR – 128 minutes) Stan: One of my favorite literary stories and enjoying the various film presentations throughout the decades, this presentation of Emily Bronte’s classic novel by writer/ director Andrea Arnold, although lacking in the earnestness of the plight of the two young lovers, the strength of Bronte’s literary base sustains the interest to see this version through to the tragic ending we all know is in store for us viewers. (Grade: C) Joseph: “Wuthering Heights” features some spectacularly picturesque settings – when you can see them. Unfortunately, writer/ director Andrea Arnold not only failed to use professional actors for her cinematic adaptation of Emily Bronte’s classic novel; she also failed to use proper lighting thereby damaging the one thing for which her drama deserved praise. Moreover, the movie is a strangely shallow interpretation of an ordinarily passionate source material, relaying the story itself but none of the emotion that goes with it. As a result, the audience feels alienated and, with no reason to remain awake, may become bored and drift into dreamland. (Grade: D)

Writer/Director Jon Kasdan (‘The First Time’) By Stan Robinson
“One of the great joys I’ve had with this movie is that watching it with an audience and seeing them react and laugh with it, particularlyaudiences of teenagers! It’s a real pleasure to be sitting in a room with them and see them getting the jokes and all that and that’s a fun part of it, to have them identify with‘The First Time’ and genuinely like it!” – Jon Kasdan
Movie News!
“It’s a script that I wrote so it comes pretty much out of my own experience, growing up with my own experience of high school, being in love with girls and not having them love me back necessarily [chuckle], and its part of what inspired me to be a screenplay writer. So for me, it’s a subject matter I often return to, those high school years, because I think they’re inherently kind of cinematic and they’re a time when you idealize things, romanticize things, and they are also a time that people can relate to in their own lives. “I like the sort of universal aspect of it, and it was also the kind of movie that I thought that I could write something very makeable, that didn’t require a lot of money and could be done on a reasonable budget, really focus on characters and actors. It’s not the kind of movie that’s the most popular thing in Hollywood right now. “Its always fun to be able to make something that’s a little different and I think that is one of the things that’s amazing about films like ‘The Perks of Being a Wall Flower’ and this movie coming out during such a similar time is, usually you see very few movies about high school

He tossed on a robe, put on his glasses and opened the door to find a sexy young blond dressed as a French Maid.
THE PROBLEM SOLVER After being married for nearly 40 years, Jerry took a careful look at his wife, while sipping on his morning coffee and said: “Honey…I was just thinking, 40 years ago, we were living in a cheap apartment, drove a junk car, we slept on a second hand sofa bed and watched a crummy 19inch black-and-white TV….but every night I got to sleep with a hot 20 year-old girl.” Jerry paused and then continued: “Now -- I have a $500,000 home, a $40,000 car, a king-size bed and a large-screen TV in the bedroom, but…now, I’m sleeping with a wrinkled 60-year-old woman - It seems to me - you’re not holding up your side of this.” Jerry’s wife -- a very reasonable woman -- put down her coffee cup, smiled and replied, “Sweetie, why don’t you go out… find that hot 20-year-old girl to sleep with…and I’ll help make that dream of yours come true, because you will be living…once again in a cheap apartment, driving a junk car, sleeping on a sofa and watching a crummy black-and-white TV.” Jerry took another sip of coffee, nodded his head and thought; aren’t older women great? They really know how to solve an old man’s problems. THE BIG SURPRISE Bernie turned 80, so his friends and family threw him a party he would never forget. They rented a banquet hall at one of the most expensive casinos in Las Vegas, with food drinks and entertainment. What a party it was! His friends also booked Bernie a luxury suite for him to relax in after the party. At about 9pm, Bernie thanked everyone, but said he was tired and was heading to his room to retire. Little did he know of the big surprise his friends had arranged for him. They had hired a beautiful “Lady of the Evening” to make his 80th birthday complete.
Tuesday, November 13th Bernie stared at the gorgeous woman and then asked…“Can I help you?” The blond smiled and said “I’ve been sent here to offer you some SUPER-SEX!” Bernie thought for a moment and replied…”I’LL TAKE THE SOUP” IT WAS A VERY NICE ROOM Recently I was awarded a room at a terrific low rate for 2 nights at a posh Casino in Las Vegas. I thought…since the room cost next to nothing, I figured I could add the extravagance of room service both days for at least breakfast. So, on the second morning at 6am, I called down my breakfast order – I requested “2 eggs, 1 over easy and runny, the other egg over medium with a broken yoke, also please include some cold undercooked bacon, along with burnt English muffin that will crumble when I spread the ice cold butter on it and send up a small pot of coffee and please be sure it’s just lukewarm and PLEASE send along some cream for my coffee that has curdled” “That’s a very complicated order” was the reply from the kitchen “I don’t know if we can get that exactly as you’ve ordered” I shot back “It shouldn’t be that difficult…because even though I didn’t order it that way - that’s exactly the breakfast you delivered to me yesterday!” AZWeeklyMagazine.com

Wine Pairing Pt. 2: Seafood By: Nathan Brugnone Nathan@AZWineMakers.com It almost goes without saying that white wines do seafood the most justice. With their quenching capabilities and delicate bouquets, whites make a wonderful accompaniment to mild fishes, oysters, crab, lobster, and shrimp. White wines that work especially well with these dishes include the following: ●● Albariño (pronounced: alba-reen-yo), a Spanish and Portuguese-grown varietal, has a wonderful bouquet of stone fruits, like peaches and apricots. The thing that makes this wine so seafoodfriendly is its minerality; when grown on hills near the sea, Albariño takes on some of the sea spray from breaking waves. This is a perfect ocean fish and oyster pair.
●● Sauvignon Blanc—a popular French varietal that hasspread to places as diverse as California, Australia, South Africa, and South America—is a sure bet with most ocean fish dishes.
Authentic. Fresh. Local.
●● Beaujolais, a light red wine from Gamay grapes from the Beaujolais region of France, will stand up to trout dishes. Keep this one in mind for Thanksgiving, as well.
30 Wines for $30 Mon-Sat 11 am to Midnight, Sunday 10-2 brunch, 2 to Midnight.
●● Pinot Noir, one of the lightest reds, makes a great pairing with tomato-based seafood stews and does very well with salmon, especially during the colder months when a red wine just feels right.
4221 North 7th Ave, (602) 234-0333
While the last two wines mentioned are reds, heavier reds tend to overpower fish, creating a more of a battle between food and beverage, rather than cohesion. Save those meaty reds for red meats (that should be easy to remember!). Stay tuned for more pairing tips!

It is that time of the year – at least in the Northern Hemisphere… the grapevines display colorful fall leaves, teams work the fields picking clusters of grapes, and winemakers are trying to maintain their sanity. We refer to it as “Crush” here in the U.S. and it is a fun season. For many wine lovers, the grape harvest brings out the farmer in them. You wouldn’t think of de-tasseling corn in Nebraska…but oh the thought of working in a vineyard is incredibly appealing! While we’re fantasizing about stomping grapes, winemakers are trying to manage their stress over the critical decisions they must make. Here is a very simplified process of the grape harvest that might help you detect a winemaker’s style in your next glass of wine. When to pick the grapes? While the grapes are still in on the vines, winemakers measure the sugar, acidity, and PH levels—each of these factors affects the balance of the wine. They also obsessively check the weather. Any rain or moisture is the kiss of death to grapes during harvest as it results in rot. Once the winemaker gives the order to start the harvest, the grapes are picked and then brought into the winemaking facility for processing. There the grapes are sorted to hopefully weed out any bad fruit. Red wines and white wines take different paths. Some important decisions winemakers must make involve yeast, preservatives, fermentation temperature, duration, and more. For now, I’ll focus on fermentation temperatures – Cold, Cool, Warm and Hot. Cold fermentation produces wines like Pinot Grigio, which preserves the crispness of the fruit and has a lighter color in the final wine. Cool fermentation is used in white wines to obtain more color, texture, and complexity, such as in Chardonnay.
7131 WEST RAY ROAD SUITE 45 CHANDLER, AZ 85226
Warm fermentation temperatures are used for most red wines—on the cooler end they produce lighter and fruitier wines, such as Pinot Noir. Of course warmer fermentation will produce more robust reds. Finally, hot fermentation temperatures (greater than 85 degrees) are not desirable because the resulting wine seems dense and cooked. Let’s return to your ability to detect a winemaker’s style. Pick a couple of wines from neighboring producers and see if you can taste any differences, one of the easiest being jammy fruit versus a fresh fruit style. That’s the fermentation temperature at play!

Arizona Wine and Chocolate Gordon Parlova, www. DessertAndDecadence.com
Lights are low, wine is poured, your favorite person is by your side and you’re contemplating the perfect match. A match made in Heaven. What am I talking about you ask? Wine and chocolate, two items that were designed to be together. If you want to impress a date, then trot out perfectly-paired wine and chocolate. You’ll get more applause
than with that perfect dinner you cooked. The Sedona Winefest was September 21st and 15 Arizona wineries attended. Being the “I-love-chocolate-andwine type,” I left the 104-degree heat in Phoenix and headed to a cooler climate in Sedona. I armed myself with chocolate and headed into the fray. I had two types of chocolate: milk and dark chocolate. Simple pairing rules state milk chocolate pairs better with lighter red wines and dark chocolate pairs better with full-bodied red wines, like Merlots and Cabernets.
The winning pairings were:
Wine Bitter Creek Malbec 2004 Merkin Vineyard 2011 Shinola Grand Canyon Celalrs2011 Red (70% Pinot) Cellar Dwellers “Canvas” Carlson Creek Syrah Zarpara Origen 2007 60% Garnacha 40% Syrah
Chocolate Type Milk Milk Milk Milk Milk Dark
The predominance of milk chocolate was surprising. Usually there’s an even balance between milk and dark, but not this time. A happy, surprise pairing happened with Zarpara Origen. Being a lighter wine, I suspected it would pair with milk chocolate, but it also had a nice spiciness to it, which balanced the strength of the dark chocolate. Which would I recommend? Depends on your taste. If my favorite person gave me the “come hither and bring chocolate” look, I’d take two different bottles: ●● Cellar Dwellers’ “Canvas,” milk chocolate. ●● Zarpara Origen, dark chocolate. Both have “romantic evening” written all over them. Next time you want to impress your sweetheart, or indulge after a long day, pick up a bottle of Arizona wine and pair it with the appropriate chocolate. You’ll be happy you did.

To prevent a sparkling wine from foaming out of the glass, pour an ounce, which will settle quickly. Pouring the remainder of the serving into this starter will not foam as much.

Old wine almost never turns to vinegar. It spoils by oxidation.

U.S. 1998 sales of white and blush wines were 67% of total table wine sales. Red wines were 33% of sales. At Beekman’s, the best we can calculate (since we don’t track the color of wine sales from Chile, Australia or Spain or of jug wines) is that our sales of white and blush comprised only 45% of total wine sales. Reds accounted for 55%. That’s in dollars, not unit sales. American wines accounted for 47% of our wine sales vs. 53% for imported wines.

IN REVIEW, THE GREAT AMERICAN BEER FESTIVAL Great American Beer Festival, GABF, the Biggest Beer Festival in the United States or whatever you choose to call it, there can be no question that it is one of the most amazing collections of craft beer and craft beer people to be found. What, on paper, is a large festival featuring 578 breweries and over 2,700 beers being served is actually, in totality, even bigger. When you account for the things that occur on the periphery, this event makes the actual festival look small. Let’s start with some facts. The festival started in 1982 in Boulder with a mere 22 breweries bringing 40 beers, which was more than enough for the 800 people in attendance. By year ten the event was being held at the Denver Merchandise Mart with 150 breweries, 500 beers and

7,000 total in attendance. The first year this event totally sold out was 2007. Up until then you could still walk up to a session and purchase a ticket at the door for face value. Last year the festival sold out in one week. This year, over 49,000 people attended the four sessions with tickets selling out within 45 minutes

of the public ticket sale opening. This breaking news just in…Craft Beer is popular. By the way, there are also over 36,000 gallons of beer served and over 132 tons of ice used. The overall economic impact on the City of Denver is well over $7 million. Because, here’s the thing, many people show up in Denver for the GABF and never set foot inside the festival. Folks without tickets come to town and enjoy the special events and such going on around town. We’ll get back to the festival but let’s look at the economic impact. All you have to do is be at the Denver airport on the Sunday after the festival to see how many people come into town. Stop at one bar and you might see Chuck Silva from Green Flash having a final beer with Dr. Bill Sysak of Stone; and there is Nico Freccia, one of the owners of 21st Amendment being introduced to Zak Davis, National Sales Manager for Shmaltz Brewing in the security line; and there are thousands of other folks wandering around with their freshly purchased brewery shirts, hats or whatever. The Denver airport might be the best possible place to meet brewery people the day after the festival.
NIMBUS AMERICAN BISTRO
Now when you think of all those people coming to town, think about the hotel rooms, the restaurants and the bars… especially the bars. Every hotel room in the downtown area was sold out, some at ridiculously high rates; every beer related restaurant was packed for every meal; and did we mention the bars? Okay let’s talk about the bars. There are plenty of them, and just about every bar in town serves some form of craft beer, many of them have craft as their primary focus.
There was a time when the Falling Rock was just about the only game in town, but new places have sprung up everywhere. Freshcraft, Euclid Hall and many more are right along or just off of the 16th Street corridor which tends to define the center of the GABF universe due to its free shuttle and proliferation of hotels within a block or two. However, things have spread out a little. This year, one of the darlings of the craft industry became the Star Bar at 22nd and Larimer. Every year there seems to be a new place to catch the excitement and this year it was Star Bar. On one night you could rub elbows with Greg Koch and Mitch Steele of Stone, Shaun O’Sullivan of 21st Amendment, Taylor Rees, head brewer at Great Divide and several others. On another night you might see the Alstrom Brothers from Beer Advocate, Laura Bell of Bell’s, Meg Gill of Golden Road and the list goes on. Every night Star Bar had something different going on, whether it was Cigar City with some special tappings, a barrel aged night featuring New Belgium, Odell, Funkwerks and more; or the Avery Friday night Hardcore/Softcore party where the Boulder brewery offered up a selection of specialty beers featuring extremely high ABVs and relatively low ABVs depending on your tolerance after several days of beer debauchery. Watching the dollars change hands and the credit cards get swiped, it becomes very easy to understand why Denver, and the whole state, supports craft beer the way they do. It isn’t every festival that gets both the mayor and the governor involved. Granted Governor Hickenlooper did found the very first brewpub in the state, Wynkoop, but he

So, ostensibly, a big part of the GABF is the competition, and many brewers covet one of those medals with the red, white and blue ribbon. So much so that, despite the huge numbers of breweries on the floor of the festival, even more want to compete. This year 673 breweries entered 4,420 beers for judging from 48 states (Washington D.C. and Guam also entered beers). There were 84 different categories judged by 185 judges from all around the world. Although with a potential 252 category medals available, all are not necessarily given out. There are many cases where the judges do not feel any beer in the category is worthy of a particular medal and subsequently none is awarded. Here are the specific judging criteria: Gold - A world-class beer that accurately exemplifies the specified style, displaying the proper balance of taste, aroma and appearance. Silver - An excellent beer that may vary slightly from style parameters while maintaining close adherence to the style and displaying excellent taste, aroma and appearance. Bronze - A fine example of the style that may vary slightly from style parameters and/or have minor deviations in taste, aroma or appearance.
The judges are all professionals who have judged numerous competitions before being permitted to judge at GABF. They sit together in small groups and conduct blind samplings in each specified style category. During five different, three hour judging sessions, they have only one goal‌to identify the three beers (if they exist) that best represent each beer style category as described and adopted by the GABF. They only judge in the categories that match their expertise and never in a category which would have them judging their own product or a product in which they may have a special interest. Many people look at award winners and question them. There are many reasons for this, but the two most important things to look at in order to understand why a beer got an award is the category entered and the specific judging criteria. Many of the American domestic beers win in the categories devoted to American style lagers and such, because that is what they do well. Likewise, a particular beer that may be a consumer favorite may not win a medal because it does not meet the GABF specific description of the style category it was entered in. Sometimes brewers can enter their beer in a different category based on the actual makeup of the beer and win a medal. For example, a beer that is called an IPA may do better in the Strong Ale category. We could go on and on about the GABF and frequently do. However for now, this seems like a great place to stop. Usually we stop writing because it is time for a beer, however after spending a week in Denver, we are headed for something a little less exciting.
If no beer in a category meets the criteria, no medal is given.

Firewater released their first album in four years last week. International Orange!, mixed by Tamir Muksat of Balkan Beat Box, carries on from where their previous collaboration, The Golden Hour, took off, slipping across new borders into uncharted territory. Created in Istanbul and Tel Aviv during the 2011 Arab Spring, their latest release captures the frenetic pulse of a world in the state of flux. The songs tap into grooves as disparate as Turkish maqsoum, Punjabi bhangra, Jamaican ska, Greek rebetiko, classic punk and old-school mambo. Firewater will be at the Crescent Ballroom (308 N. 2nd Ave) on Thursday September 27th. Visit www.crescentphx.com for more details.

Sunday, October 21st Just in time for Halloween, Celebrity Theatre presents “A Night Of Spirit” with well-celebrated psychic and spiritual medium James Van Praagh at 4 p.m. on Sunday, October 21st. James Van Praagh is a survival evidence medium who bridges the gap between two planes of existence, that of the living and that of the dead, by providing proof of life after death via detailed messages. Unaware of his spiritual gifts until he was in his twenties, Van Praagh slowly came to terms with his unique abilities. People look to the renowned medium and best-selling author to contact the spirits of deceased loved ones. From a devastated mother receiving a message of hope from her deceased little girl to communicating with a young man, killed in Vietnam, who

Arizona’s Largest & Best Indoor Climbing Gym Since 1992
CRUSH!!!!
TOP TEN HEAVY HITTERS IN NFL HISTORY #6 Jack Lambert / Linebacker
Experience the vertical world of climbing as never before. Indoors at the Phoenix Rock Gym. Explore our thirty foot high walls with over 15,000 sq. ft. of climbing surface. No experience is necessary. Even if you’ve never touched a rope in your life we will teach you the skills needed to climb safely.
“Number 58 comes to play.” As the backbone of the legendary “Steel Curtain” Pittsburgh Steeler defenses of the 70’s, Jack Lambert gets the nod here over teammate “Mean” Joe Greene. Another off-field gentleman, in uniform this guy was tough as nails, and his familiar maniacal toothless scowl was an intimidating sight to behold. As NFL rules were undergoing modifications in effort to better
protect vulnerable quarterbacks from injury, Lambert is remembered for making the famous and oft-quoted remark “you should just put dresses on them”. A second round draft pick in 1974, Lambert won Rookie of the Year honors that season, one in which the Steelers won the first of four championships during his tenure. In 1976 he was named Defensive Player of the Year. A consummate pro, Lambert spent his entire elevenyear career with the Steelers, making the Pro Bowl nine times, all-pro nine times, and was elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1990. He is regarded as one of the best linebackers of his generation.
