I find the people at GE to be the most sincere, helpful and caring souls that one can find. They go way beyond their ‘jobs’ and have a truly giving spirit. They perk up my day every time I come into the office.- Jim I’ve been dating my fiancé for 5 years now and we’re going to get married in June. Thanks for helping us connect; we’ve recommended your business to several of our friends. -Mike I’ve been in a relationship for two years now and it’s thanks to Great Expectations-Terri By understanding what I was looking for and opening my eyes up to new women I met my fiancée Tammy, can’t wait to marry her in Aug. -Dave
phone ringing, and it is another single What’s5635 Important whoRd. I’m trying meet through Great N. Scottsdale Ste.to190 Expectations. Chances are they want to You? Scottsdale, AZ 85250 to talk to me for an extended period of time or maybe ask me out for drinks. 480-941-0500 I’ll be honest. I wouldn’t answer the www.great-expectations.com
Today, I had a million and one things going on. It seemed like at the office everyone wanted something, whether it was my co-workers or boss. To make matters worse, my family and friends were contacting me, asking when I would be available to plan certain events for them. I felt pulled in a million directions and all I wanted to do was go home and not talk to anyone for the next twelve hours. Needless to say, my needs were put on the back burner. Then I stopped, for a moment and imagined I was one of my singles at Great Expectations. Many singles I meet are very focused on specific parts of their life such as their careers, their family or perhaps social activities like organizing charity events. Of course, these are understandable things for people to focus their attention on; but more than half the time when I turn to these men and women and ask, “What about YOU?” I’m answered with a blank stare.
It’s a common problem that a lot people don’t like to admit to. We feel like so many things are a huge priority and we put all our energy into certain aspects of our life. But how many of us can say, “Today I took care of myself rather than everyone else!”? In fact, this is a huge reason many people join Great Expectations. They’re acknowledging they want to make a change and invest in themselves. They want to put the effort into their own personal life rather than to benefit others. Unfortunately, old habits die hard.
16
So I imagined I was one of my singles at Great Expectations. That I had just gone through this very busy day and I was exhausted. Then I imagined my January 23rd, 2013 - January 29th, 2013 AZWeeklyMagazine.com
phone. I would be way too tired and think, “I’ll get back to that.”
It’s true, and you would do the same too! But this is exactly what you should NOT be doing in the dating world. If it had been work, your family or your friends calling you would have answered, because they are a priority in your mind. But when it’s someone who has expressed interest in you, suddenly they aren’t important? This is backwards logic. Of all the phone calls today, THIS is the one you should be putting the most thought into. You’ve made a decision that you want make a change, yet here you are, dismissing your need to find someone for yourself. Finding a match is difficult; how can you expect results if you’re not even putting your best foot forward? The fact is you won’t fall in love until you look at your life and decide: I’m going to put as much effort into finding someone as I do for the other aspects of my life. So my message to singles is: Try focusing on yourself for once. Not what others need, but what YOU need. If you want to find your soul mate then do it! Look at what you’ve accomplished in your career or with your family. If you dedicated the same amount of effort and time into just what you want, think of what you would accomplish! By: Lynea Hart, Great Expectations Membership Services Representative
When Mary’s husband of 26 years
passed away in 1989, she was convinced that she was going to be alone for the rest of her life. But after living as a widow for 21 years, a casual acquaintance of hers finally asked “Mary, what are you going to do with the rest of your life?” When Mary replied, “I don’t know.” Her friend suggested Great Expectations Scottsdale, since that is where she met her husband. This may have been the best piece of advice for Mary. After joining Great Expectations Scottsdale, Mary met fellow member Gene in 2010. They took their relationship slow at first, but eventually fell deeply in love and were married April 28th, 2012. Of course, Gene and Mary were not alone while in the single world. In Scottsdale alone there are thousands of single men and women looking for their match. However, between balancing a busy schedule and avoiding all the wrong people at the bar scene it’s becoming increasingly difficult to meet new people. That’s where Great Expectations Scottsdale comes in! Over the last 35 years Great Expectations has perfected a suite of matchmaking services that emphasizes dating with a purpose. Unlike other dating services that entrust applicants to input their
own data, Great Expectations professionals meet every potential client in person to interview and screen each applicant. Recently, Great Expectations Scottsdale announced Tammy Smith, who has been with the company since 1998, as their new Center Director. Tammy has had the pleasure of meeting and matching multiple couples through the years. “At Great Expectations we personally meet and interview each member so they are pre-screened before they can join. We also run background checks on each member. When you join an online dating site, you don’t know who you’re connecting with,” says Tammy. “We find it’s best for our clients to not be surprised by who they’re meeting. We take our own photos and we provide videotaped conversations as well. We will be as involved in your experience as much as you want us to be, acting as a personal dating liaison and coaching you along the way.” In addition to pre-screening each potential client, Great Expectations provides ample opportunities for members to meet like-minded singles in whichever environment they’re most comfortable. “We hold a variety of fun, safe, singles events to help get you out into the Great Expectations community,” says Ashley AZWeeklyMagazine.com

Dating Scene HeatS up in tHe Valley Fox, the Great Expectations Scottsdale Event Coordinator. “After you become a member you are invited to every event from speed dating, hiking, cooking classes, casino nights, masquerade balls, wine tastings and much more!” So say goodbye to blind dates, awkward set-ups and scary online experiences. and contact Great Expectations today. It’s safe, private, experienced matchmaking made easy. Take the first step today. Mary & Gene have the same thoughts as many of our success stories about Great Expectations: “It worked for us! If it wasn’t for Great Expectations and its staff we wouldn’t have found each other!” And to anyone considering joining Great Expectations they add: “What do you have to lose?”

Jewelry at the 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards The 19th Annual It seems almost quaint compared to today’s practices, Screen Actors Guild where actresses have designers offering gowns, jewelers Awards lending baubles and stylists pulling looks together. Once, however, it was simpler. Major stars, those who hoisted statuettes by night’s end, arrived at galas in homemade dresses and wore their own jewelry. Joanne Woodward was stunning in a gown she sewed for the Oscars. To this day, anyone would clamor for Elizabeth Taylor’s diamonds. As styles became grander, so have the jewels, and viewers tune into shows such as the 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, airing Sunday, Jan. 27, on TBS and TNT, to see the displays.

Juried artists travel from around the country and state of Arizona. There will be an excess of 2,500+ pieces of art displayed in mediums such as oil on canvas, watercolors, acrylics and mixed media paintings. Furthermore, an extensive selection of unique jewelry, photography and pottery, as well as bronze, copper, clay, glass, metal and wood sculptures will be exhibited.

Recreation Campus. Starting with the basic senses (look, smell & taste) the expansive wine list allows patrons the opportunity to learn how to taste wines like the pros! Patrons can smell numerous unique scents, but their taste perception is limited to salty, sweet, sour and bitter. It is the combination of smell with tasting that allows patrons to distinguish between the different flavors. Sampling a good collection of wines all at the same time permits patrons the opportunity to make better choices. For $10, patrons receive an engraved souvenir wine glass, six wine tasting tickets. Bob from Oh, Fudge will be busy making fudge throughout the festival for the patrons that like watching the art of creating fudge. Strolling throughout the supreme gathering of artists, sampling great wines and listening to musical entertainment is what Thunderbird Artists is best recognized for along with their fine reputation. “We are excited to bring a unique experience of quality fine art to the West Valley and the rapidly growing community of Surprise,” said Denise Dale, Vice President of Thunderbird Artists.

Stan: In what I call ‘niche films’, those themes for a specific age/ life group and in this case seniors as Maggie Smith, who star’s in ‘Downton Abbey’ and one of my favorite television series, provides the story glue that holds together the lightly stitched presentation of senior life. Dustin Hoffman, in his directorial debut, provides an eclectic group of characters, many of whom remind me of the various personality types who live in my downtown senior high-rise complex for an enjoyable 90 minute reflective view of the seniors in my orbit, and life in my complex. (Grade: C+) Randy: It seems as if 2012 was the year for movies about the youthfulness of our older generations. All of these films were charming in their own right. The British seem to value their seniors a bit more than we do, as evidenced by the numerous releases last year featuring many of the same cast members. While not nearly as moving or heartfelt as
by Stan Robinson
Within 3 days of release, ‘The Hunger Games’ (2012) became the highest grossing film for the production company Lionsgate Films. its competitors, “Quartet” is an extremely likeable little film that should put a smile on the faces of audience members of all ages. Make sure to watch the end credits! (Grade: B+) Joseph: “Quartet” - the latest movie that appears to be riding the newly formed wave of entertainment aiming to appeal exclusively to aging audiences - is so sweet and conflict free that it makes “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” look like an extremely complicated and complex motion picture. Granted, one does not want to upset the apple cart of viewers who venture out of their retirement homes on field trips to the picture show too much, but the new drama from director Dustin Hoffman - yes, that Dustin Hoffman in his inaugural effort behind the camera - is in desperate need of more weight. (Grade: F)
‘West of Memphis’ Filmmaker Amy Berg examines a catastrophic failure of justice in Arkansas, telling the story behind an extraordinary and desperate fight to bring the truth to light. (R - 147 minutes)
Stan: This next installment on the high profile West Memphis, Arkansas murder case of the early 1990s by director Amy Berg provides an overview of the controversial handling of the investigation of the event as well as a view of the various court systems of the state of Arkansas. The slow and deliberate pacing of the two and a half hour film, provides the viewer with many ‘pregnant pause’ moments as the facts unfold, and the extent that the Arkansas ‘powersthat-be’ will go to save face in a system gone wrong. (Grade: B+) Randy:”Having followed the story of the West Memphis Three for years now having viewed all of the ‘Paradise Lost’ documentaries, I was extremely interested in seeing the latest documentary with the most up to date information. ‘West of Memphis’ is by far the most well made of them all. The filmmakers take a complicated story and tell it with ease. With a running time nearing two and a half hours, there’s not a dull moment to be had. The story and film is so fascinating, you will be hard pressed not to spend hours afterwards doing even more research.” (Grade: A)
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.
kinds of projects that weren’t very consistent with what I wanted to be doing so we were looking for projects for a while together, and then, they brought this book to me. Then, they brought this book to me. One of the executives asked me to read the book, just a couple of pages he said. I read it and said ‘wow man, this is cool’! You mentioned that it’s ‘Very clever’, I like that, can I use that [with a laugh!] I adapted the script for ‘Warm Bodies’ and we were off to the races with it. “This is the biggest movie I’ve ever done, but still there were a lot of sacrifices we had to make. You see these post-apocalypticmovies whether its ‘I Am Legend’ or I went to the movies the other day and saw trailers for two, one’s a Will Smith movie, the other a Tom Cruise movie about the apocalypse and those movies cost upwards of 200 million dollars. We cost a fraction of that amount. We had 45 days to shoot ‘Warm Bodies’, and had to be very smart about how we turned Montreal
Writer/Director Jonathan Levine (‘Warm Bodies’) By Stan Robinson In “Warm Bodies,” which opens next weekend, Nicholas Hoult plays a zombie who becomes involved with the girlfriend (Teresa Palmer) of one of his victims (Dave Franco) and discovers that their romance sets in motion a sequence of events that might transform the entire lifeless world. “Summit is the studio who made ‘Warm Bodies’, they had seen ‘The Wackness’ a while ago, and they liked it and wanted to work with me which was very flattering. But they were doing the

Joseph: One would think that Amy Berg, the director of “West of Memphis” - a remarkably wellresearched documentary that essentially condemns the criminal system for taking too long to grant justice to the wrongly convicted would have found a way to tell the story of the West Memphis Three in less than two-and-a-half hours. All irony aside, this motion picture packs a powerful punch - both intellectually and emotionally. Prepare to be disturbed. Prepare to be angry. Prepare to be inspired. The movie is as compelling as it comprehensive, drawing those who are familiar with the case as well as newcomers deep into the difficult ordeal. (Grade: B)

into a post apacalyptic world. There were things in the book that I really liked but we just couldn’t do them so we had to be very creative in adapting our ideas. “This film has all of the things that are very familiar in the genre, and it also taps into the things that people feel when they’re young and trapped, and at the same time, it’s incredibly unique with aspects of horror, romance, and comedy. Its got something for everybody, and at the same time it has these two core characters that are so
compelling that I think will resonate with the moviegoer. There’s a lot of the familiar aspects to the genre that people know and at the same time, the underlying theme is one of hope, compassion, and survival!” Jonathan Levine
Special Feature ‘Yellow Rock’ travel’s a traditional western road By Stan Robinson
Anne Hathaway
In the early formative years of American cinema, two primary genres were mainstays of the themes presented, the popular gangster movies with grounded stories from the east and westerns, which explored life in the west. ‘Yellow Rock’ presents a story of five men who ride into the eerie town of Yellow Rock, hoping to rescue a family member and his lost boy. A Mountain Man (Michael Biehn) is hired to guide them into Indian Territory for the search.With permission from the tribe to enter their lands and a doctor who tends to the Indians, the group rides into the lands as an old Indian
“The Dark Knight Rises” (2012): It’s not easy to redefine a role as iconic as Catwoman, but Hathaway did it by playing smart – and smartly feline – for director Christopher Nolan. “Love and Other Drugs” (2010): By not playing her full hand too early, Hathaway left room for big and moving surprises in her character. “The Devil Wears Prada” (2006): Hathaway hit the bull’s-eye as a recent college grad who proves a big challenge to an imperious fashion magazine editor (a typically great Meryl Streep). “Ella Enchanted” (2004): Between her gigs as a princess, Hathaway put fun spins on fairy tales as the literally spellbound heroine of this fantasy.

legend of a curse comes true including haunted lands, wild animals, and eventually the mistrust of each other as the yellow fever of the greed for gold takes hold. Capturing the look and the feel of the westerns of old, ‘Yellow Rock,’ is high on my ‘must see’ westerns list as it reminded me of one of my favorite westerns, writer/director Richard Brooks’ ‘The Professionals’ (1966) where the initial intent was a rescue, with ulterior motives coming into play. Available on DVD, ‘Yellow Rock’ won Best Picture, Best Director for Nick Vallelonga, and Best Actor for

Citrus Season at Orange Patch It is a known fact that fresh squeezed citrus cocktails prevent the onset of scurvy. Although I may not be a medical professional, I highly recommend regular doses of orange juice mimosas and grapefruit greyhounds to keep you healthy and scurvy-free. Lucky for us, some of the country’s best organic citrus is located right in our own backyard at The Orange Patch orchards in Mesa. When you go, be sure to stock up on enough
to last you through the summer. Like making tamales at Christmas, citrus season brings assembly line juicing days in my kitchen. OldSchool plastic ice cube trays are filled with the fruits of my labor, frozen and then bagged to last me for months to come. You see the trick to great citrus cocktails is using ice cubes made of juice instead of water so as they melt, your drinks stay fresh and don’t get watered down. Besides citrus, the original Orange Patch offers an old fashioned country store stocked with locally made preserves, pickled produce, and would not be complete without a candy counter. Their sister location just a short drive away offers the same front-porch feel and home-grown goods in addition to an overwhelming selection of seasonal gifts and home decor. The Orange Patch and Orange Patch TOO are located at: Orange Patch 2717 E. Lehi Rd., Mesa 480-962-4490

Wine, Whisky, Bogies and Stogies such as Rodney Strong Vineyards. But, as any wine guide will tell you – try it all! The best pairings are whatever YOU as the wine drinker say they are. Whisky The history of how drinking whisky and smoking a cigar goes is older than the United States, itself.
By: Alison Bailin Batz Fun fact – cigars aren’t all that different from wine. No, really. “Just as one would sample several varietals of wine to determine their own personal palette pleasers, one should also ‘taste’ all the shapes, sizes and flavors of cigars for the same reason,” said Brad Berko, owner of Scottsdale Cigar Club, which is among the most beloved and most uniquely stocked retail cigar stores in Arizona, focusing on popular hand-rolled tobacco brands. And, much like different foods pair perfectly with specific wines, cigars pair perfectly with many types of wine as well as several spirits. Wines As one would imagine, softer cigars are often beloved by white wine drinkers, while big red devotees prefer the more full-bodied brands. Cabernets, Merlots, Pinot Noirs and Pinot Grigios are the most-oft paired of all. For true cigar lovers looking to get into wine, start with wines that include hints of tobacco and even cigar box flavors in their tasting notes
Funny enough, however, it is the classic Scottish whiskies with some new-age American flair – such as Glenmorangie – that are gaining popularity among cigar aficionados. “Our ‘Extremely Rare’ brand is especially good with vintage cigars as they bring out the licorice and intense woody flavors of the brand,” said Douglas Wooster of Moet Hennessy USA.

In addition, the hugely popular Glenmorangie Signet is gaining female fans as it pairs best with cigars that contain notes of caramel, vanilla and cinnamon sweetness. For those looking for a chance to try all of the above flavor pairings – you are in luck! “On February 7, we have partnered with Scottsdale Plaza Resort, Rodney Strong and Glenmorangie– as well as Belvedere Vodka – on a special cigar dinner called Bogies and Stogies,” said Berko. The event, which benefits the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale, will feature carving stations, cigars and samples of the above high-end wines/ spirits, celebrity guests and more.

The Best Beers You Can’t Drink (at least not in Arizona)
A new year begins and thoughts turn to beer. Fair enough, our thoughts always turn to beer, but that isn’t the point. The point is that with each new near comes the promise of new beers to try. The question always asked is what new breweries are coming to Arizona this year. Well, we don’t have a crystal ball, but we do know what some of the best beers that we can’t get in Arizona are. If you want them, you will need to do some creative shopping either over the internet or through friends that live elsewhere (and check out the legalities of shipping beer first), but the right beer may just be worth the trouble. So here
are some of the most requested beers that we don’t get in Arizona. One of the most requested beers is Yuengling. This Pottsville, Pennsylvania brewery bills itself as America’s Oldest Brewery, and given its continuous operation since 1829, they seem to be correct. Their flagship beer is Yuengling Traditional Lager which has a subtle malt sweetness with a hint of hops. It is so well known in the Philadelphia area, most people simply order a lager and receive it. While not a craft brewery (it is one of the largest breweries in the country), craft enthusiasts do enjoy their beers, and for
many area natives who have moved away, it is the first beer they look for upon a return visit. They also can be credited for the first bottled Black and Tan in 1986. The other beers that we don’t currently get here are definitely in the craft category. Russian River is at the top of that list. Located in Santa Rosa, California, this brewery runs parallel paths, producing some incredible IPAs as well as some of the best Belgian style beers around. Pliny the Elder, named for the 1st Century Roman author and Philosopher, is considered to be the first Double IPA
and is recognized as one of the best. The Belgian series, many of them barrel aged and at least partially fermented with the wild yeast Brettanomyces, consists of Damnation, Supplication, Temptation and a variety of others with the same naming pattern. Brewmaster Vinnie Cirluzo even got around to brewing the long awaited Procrastination to the shock of Russian River regulars. Many East Coast craft beers don’t make it to Arizona due to the distance and expenses involved in shipping. Two that Arizonans have been patiently waiting for are Brooklyn Brewing and Victory. Brooklyn Brew-
ing, located appropriately enough in Brooklyn, is known for making uncommonly good food beers and brewmaster Garrett Oliver is considered by most to be the foremost authority on food and beer pairing in the country. His beer dinners are legendary and accomplished chefs defer to his expertise when planning menus for these events. Lately the series of big bottle beers including Local One and Local Two, as well as Black Ops, have been exciting our fellow beer drinkers in the east. Victory Brewing is located in Downingtown, PA and produces one of the best American made Pilsners

in the Prima Pils, they also make Hop Devil IPA as well as the very dangerous Golden Monkey Belgian Triple. At 8% alcohol by volume and incredibly smooth, Golden Monkey can sneak up on you. New Glarus Brewing in Wisconsin produces some very sought after beers. Their line at the Great American Beer Festival is always one of the longest. Despite being distributed exclusively in their home state, they are still one of the twenty largest craft breweries in the country. Spotted Cow, a farmhouse style ale, Wisconsin Belgian Red, Raspberry Tart and their Unplugged series are particularly large selling products for them. No craft beer lover can go to Wisconsin without bringing back some New Glarus.

GUESS WHO’S BACK? Hello again craft beer lovers, today let’s chat about our favorite beer friend back for his yearly visit to Arizona. Bell’s HOPSLAM! For those who are unaware, Hopslam is the double IPA creation from Bell’s Brewing in Kalamazoo and Comstock Michigan that sets our hearts and minds alight with its decadent flavours, elevated alcohol content and limited availability. Beginning with six different hop varietals added to the brew and finishing with a huge dry-hop addition of Simcoe hops (my favorite!), Hopslam contains the most complex hopping schedule in the Bell’s repertoire. Chosen specifically for their aromatic qualities, these Pacific Northwest varieties contribute an amazing blend of grapefruit, bitterness and floral notes. A huge malt bill and a solid dose of honey provide enough body to keep the balance in order, resulting in a remarkably smooth and easy drinking rendition of the American Double India Pale Ale style. It’s big, it’s beautiful and well worth the wait but Bell’s Brewery gives this brew a six month shelf life so first things first, do as the lads in Kalamazoo say and consume it as fresh as possible. It pours a hazy golden blonde colour and comes in at a whopping 10% ABV. so drink and enjoy slowly once the bottle is open.
Check out where to enjoy and purchase these local brands on “Beer Spy” at www.worldclassbeer.com AZWeeklyMagazine.com
A beer almost tailor made for food, count on Hopslam to pair well with everything from hot wings and blue cheese sauce to pepper crusted filet mignon with mash and blackened swordfish. Even as a dessert beer this big brew shines. I imagine a warm peach cobbler with vanilla bean ice cream would fit perfectly. The possibilities are almost endless! Look for Hopslam at better craft beer retailers all over the valley, but do it quickly as our best beer friend only hangs around for a short time! Until next week, cheers!

Harpoon, Founders, Sweetwater, Cigar City, Captain Lawrence, Southern Tier, Funkwerks and many more. Two things to remember…Arizona is one of the only states, not contiguous to Michigan that is able to drink Bell’s Beers, and we get Oberon year round where other states only get it in the summer; and New Belgium isn’t available in many states in the east, while we get everything from Fat Tire to the Lips of Faith Series. So it’s not all bad for Arizona. Enjoy the beers we have, seek out other great beers when you travel, and always keep an eye out for the next great beer to hit the shelves. And let’s try to guess which of these beers will announce distribution in Arizona in 2013.
Juneau brewery repurposes brewing by-product as fuel source The Alaskan Brewing Company is now operating with a new fuel source: beer. More specifically, they are using the wet grain known as “spent grain,” left over from the brewing process, as the sole fuel source for their steam boiler. Alaskan is the first craft brewery in the world to use this brewing by-product in this way, reducing the company’s fuel oil consumption in brewhouse operations by 60-70 percent. The brewery began the spent grain energy process in 1995 with the
installation of a grain dryer. The equipment dried the wet, proteinrich spent grain in preparation for shipment to the lower 48 for use as cattle feed, due to the absence of farms or ranches in Southeast Alaska. Alaskan designed the grain dryer to use up to 50 percent of the grain as a supplemental fuel source to heat the dryer itself. This reduced the oil required in the drying process, and provided experience in burning spent grain that would later prove useful in designing the steam boiler. In 2008, Alaskan became the first craft brewery in the nation to install an energy saving piece of brewing equipment called a mash filter press. The mash filter press, in addition
to providing greater energy, water, and materials efficiencies, produces a lower-moisture-content spent grain than does the more traditional lautering process. This form of spent grain better lends itself to drying and for use as fuel for the brewery’s grain dryer and, ultimately, the new spent grain steam boiler system. Over the latter months of 2012, Alaskan completed the final stage of the process with the installation and commissioning of the $1.8 million, custom-constructed spent grain steam boiler. This brewing byproduct is a unique and challenging fuel, so brewery engineers put their years of experience with drying grain to work with existing combustion technology to develop and fine-tune this first-ofits-kind process.
in brewhouse operations by more than half. With moderate growth assumptions, Alaskan expects to save nearly 1.5 million gallons of oil over the next ten years. Visit www.alaskanbeer.com to learn more and connect with Alaskan at Facebook.com/AlaskanBrewingCo and @AlaskanBrewing on Twitter.

Alaskan expects that the new boiler will eliminate the brewery’s use of fuel oil in the grain drying process and displace more than half of the fuel needed to create process steam in the brewhouse. This translates to an estimated reduction in fuel oil use

I love to day drink and eat, but I have become rather fond of reverse happy hour! It is becoming more and more popular for restaurants to add this, and I am glad that they are doing so. Pita jungle is never a bad call, but the reverse happy hour makes you go for an evening drink with a date rather than just some lunch. I went on a date there the other night, and one of the bartenders Cass was sassy and classy, and made you feel at home. The reverse happy hour is nightly from 9pm-close. Three dollar draft beers are not a bad deal; especially when I was ordering Full Sail I.P.A. The two dollar tapas are amazing! They are quite small, but you get a variety of items for ten dollars and you are solid! I think that this is the best location if you are coming in for an evening as I did, since the ambiance there is way more modern yet cozy at the same time. 20910 North Tatum Boulevard #140 Phoenix, AZ 85050

Jewelry at the 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards The 19th Annual It seems almost quaint compared to today’s practices, Screen Actors Guild where actresses have designers offering gowns, jewelers Awards lending baubles and stylists pulling looks together. Once, however, it was simpler. Major stars, those who hoisted statuettes by night’s end, arrived at galas in homemade dresses and wore their own jewelry. Joanne Woodward was stunning in a gown she sewed for the Oscars. To this day, anyone would clamor for Elizabeth Taylor’s diamonds. As styles became grander, so have the jewels, and viewers tune into shows such as the 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, airing Sunday, Jan. 27, on TBS and TNT, to see the displays.

e Proudly Announce Our New Section: DUTY! Hardly a day goes by without a reminder of what our military and first-responder organizations do for us. They often walk among us, yet perform the most difficult tasks imaginable without delay, without question and without complaint. They don’t do it for the money, but to protect and to serve the rest of us. Our new section, DUTY! pays respect and gives recognition to some of the most unsung heroes of our time. The businesses that advertise and support this section are patriotically offering something to those heroes – a modest discount, a free refill, or a valuable service for their families. We have a lot of appreciative local businesses

that give back every day and the DUTY! section is for them too. I would like to thank our sectional sponsor, TroopFuel, a vibrant, healthy energy drink designed specifically for the needs of our military. If you get the opportunity, try this great-tasting beverage. Their support helps makes the DUTY! section possible. TroopFuel donates a hefty portion of its profits to worthy military charities. So, if you know someone in the service, a fireman or police officer, let them know we will be honoring them inside the pages of AZ Weekly. If you know a business that cares, please tell them we can help get the word out as well. And please enjoy this new section as we reveal the heroes, the events, and the causes that we might never know about otherwise. Proudly, Brian Muir, Publisher
