MEXICAN POP GODDESS GLORIA TREVI LIVE by Erin Roediger Dear Dentist“Everywhere I look there is a new teeth whitening product. What are the products actually doing to my teeth and what is the best, cost effective way to get a bright smile? “When it comes to whitening your teeth, there are many different companies claiming to have products that whiten teeth. Which products work depends on what your definition of ‘whitening’ is. For example, some toothpastes claim to whiten teeth by ‘scrubbing away the stains’ caused by food and drinks. This is a great way to get a temporary, whiter smile. For a more permanent option, other products actually whiten teeth by ‘creating porosities’ (this is dentist language for

creating pores) in the enamel of teeth and ‘bleaching’ the enamel of the tooth. If you want a lasting whiter smile that is not only effective but also cost effective, I recommend the use of the custom take home trays created by your dentist. I know this option is more expensive than an over-the-counter option, but you could spend $45 a box for strips or other systems that would last only a few weeks, and the agents are less effective. Plus the trays are a safer way to go, since with the strips there is a chance the whitening chemicals can get on the gums if not used properly. Invest a little more money now and shine a little brighter later.” -Dr.

Friday, February 28th at Celebrity Theatre

Rigo Entertainment presents Mexican singing sensation Gloria Trevi at 8:30 p.m. on Friday, February 28 at the historic Celebrity Theatre. Called the “Supreme Diva of Mexican Pop” by music television’s VH1, Gloria Trevi has sold more than 20 million records worldwide. Her latest album Gloria (2011) debuted at #1 on the Top 100 Mexico, Billboard Latin and Billboard Latin Pop charts. A glamorous, uninhibited Latin dynamo, Trevi tears up the stage performing her own popular tunes (and possibly one or two songs by Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple or The Doors). This multitalented sensation not only sings, dances and plays piano, but has been known to literally set the stage on fire with her African drum riffs.

27th – 30th. Since Orley bursted onto the comedy scene over 20 years ago he has single-handedly reshaped the image of hypnosis from its vaudeville image, to an act that is hip and edgy enough for the Millennials. This show consistently makes believers out of the most skeptical audience while they wipe the tears of laughter from their eyes. Loyal fans across the county can’t wait to storm the stages, hoping to be among the lucky volunteers to grab a seat and become the stars of the show. Comedy club chains have never had a hypnotist that has replicated the incredible crowds, amazing creativity, or quirky sense of humor that Flip brings to each and every one of his shows. Orley is adamant about not embarrassing his volunteers. He prefers his audiences to laugh with the volunteers, not at them. Flip takes great care in making sure that the stars of his show remember everything and have as much fun as his audience. His volunteers often get an added bonus as they awaken to suggestions that have a lasting beneficial effect. Flip has been seen on “Entertainment Tonight,” Maury Povich, Ricki Lake, followed by three traffic-stopping appearances on NBC’s “Today Show,” which met with rave reviews.

Lear was so impressed, he wrote and developed a weekly series for Rodriguez entitled “a.k.a. Pablo,” which is enshrined at the Smithsonian and holds the distinct honor for being the first television show about a Mexican American family on mainstream American television.

‘Love & Air Sex’

‘Generation War’

‘Tim’s Vermeer’

Berlin – 1941… Five friends eager to become heroes in an adventure that will change the face of Europe - and that will forever change them as well, as none of them could imagine what the war would ultimately do to them and to the rest of the world. English subtitles (German TV miniseries – NR – 279 minutes) Stan: With a particular focus on theWehrmacht (the German armed forces) between 1941-1945 leading up to the intended invasion of the Soviet Union, ‘Generation War’ is masterfully produced with a stark view of the effect of the war on soldiers and civilians through the lives of five friends (3 men and 2 women), as the German army is about face its ultimate defeat in World War II signaling the end is near. A note of warning, the film contains graphic scenes, which may be unsettling to view.

Inventor Tim Jenison seeks to understand the painting techniques used by Dutch Master Johannes Vermeer. (PG-13 – 80 minutes) Stan: The documentary, as we follow Tim Jenison’s quest to learn and duplicate the technique that is uniquely Johannes Vermeer’s, we are treated to the various prominent artists works as well as an education on styles, scientific, natural, and artificial influences. With only the appreciation of finished works of art, it’s quite refreshing to learn of the intricacies of planning, colors and paint choices, and the effect of the types of light on the art form. Randy: One would think watching someone create a painting for a good part of 80 minutes would translate into the equivalent of literally watching paint dry, but Penn & Teller have managed to create an engaging documentary despite what could have been a very dry subject matter. One must admire the ambition of the inventor featured, devoting several months to the process. While the end result may not be the revelation of the century, it is an enjoyable way to spend an hour and a half.

BreakRadioShow.com

Michael Stahl-David plays a brokenhearted man who flies to Austin for the weekend in hopes of “accidentally” running into his ex-girlfriend (Ashley Bell) only to arrive to find their best friends (Zach Cregger and Sara Paxton) in the middle of their own vicious breakup. (NR - 91 minutes) Stan: As much as the concept of the film may be ‘noble in the minds eye’, the central theme gets lost as ‘Love & Air Sex’ slide’s into an underrated mimic of the ‘Hangover’ films on one hand and a less than desirable exercise in using the ‘expletives’ of describing men and women’s sexual parts on the other, for a very disappointing 90 minutes. Randy: This foul-mouthed indie romcom uses its Austin locale perfectly; featuring the best the SXSW city has to offer. It also delivers wellwritten raunchy dialogue. It may rival “The Wolf of Wall Street” in its use of profanity, but it never seems excessive. The end result is a likable little film that manages to make use of its talented cast. A crowded marketplace may hinder any significant box office gross. Joseph: Perhaps writer/director Bryan Poyser recognized that the “love” part of “Love & Air Sex” was a bit too conventional and therefore decided to spice things up with the “air sex” part. However, conventional is better than tasteless. Granted, the concept of Air Sex World Championships may sound amusing but it is far more moronic than anything. And the good part of this romantic comedy - the conventional yet really relatable part - suffers as a result.

BET, YOU

DIDN T KNOW! by Stan Robinson

‘The Wind Rises’ A look at the life of Jiro Horikoshi, who becomes one of the world’s most innovative and accomplished airplane designers, the man who designed Japanese fighter planes during World War II. (PG-13 – 126 minutes) Stan: Oscar® winner Hayao Miyazaki is one of Japan’s greatest animation directors. ‘The Wind Rises’, with an Oscar® nomination for this year’s 86th annual Academy Awards on Sunday 2 March 2014, exemplifies the depth of the theme is in the simplicity of the visual style, as the journey of the young and idealistic Jiro Horikoshi into manhood unfolds as World War II approaches.

The house in which the true story of ‘The Conjuring’(2013) is based on had eight generations of families live and die in the house before the Perrons moved in.

BET, YOU

DIDN T KNOW! by Stan Robinson

ALSO OPENING THIS WEEK The following new theatrical releases were not made available for review for AZ Weekly’s Press Deadline.

Randy: It’s always fascinating to watch animation from other countries. Gone is the fairytale ending and lovable characters. As usual director Hayao Miyazaki throws in a fair amount of whimsy, but this is not your typical Disney fare (although it is released by them). In this case, there is serious drama and thematic moments. A fine animated feature that caught my attention when screened for press last year.

In ‘Die Hard’ (1988), the Nakatomi building used in the film is actually the Fox Plaza, the studio’s recently built headquarters.

The Anti-Villain League (AVL) recruits former super-villain Gru to find out which evil person stole the lab. Gru reluctantly partners

with undercover AVL agent Lucy Wilde, and together they search The Paradise Shopping Mall, where they are given a bakery called “Bake My Day” as their headquarters. With an all-star cast of voice actors and the return of my favorite, the lovable Minions, this next adventure is a delight for both the young and the old! (PG - 98 minutes) ‘Despicable Me 2’ is available in two versions, the Multi-Format Widescreen 2-Disc version and DVD 1-Disc version at your favorite DVD retail outlet!

For lunch I like the Barking Frog Grille, an American restaurant with a Southwest slant and full bar. Options include better than ususal basics like piled high salads and Bison Burgers, Local favorites include Shrimp and Grits and Green Chili Mac-n-Cheese. Even vegetarians will leave satisfied when ordering Sedona’s Best Mushroom Sandwich or the Vegetable and Goat Cheese Quesadilla. 2620 Arizona 89A, Sedona, AZ 86336 (928) 204-2000 barkingfroggrille.com You’ll want to make reservations at Dahl and DiLuca Ristorante Italiano for dinner, unless you prefer to eat at the high top wine bar. Specialty dishes include Affinato Di Andre: mozzarella filled ambrosial radicchio wrapped in prosciutto and grilled to perfection, and Scampi Fiorentina: prawns served in a lemon, garlic white wine and parsley sauce with spinach and orzo riso pasta.

‘Heartland table’ host thielen is canny about fresh food

egular viewers of Food Network’s “Heartland Table” – returning for a second season Saturday, March 8 – know that host Amy Thielen is a big advocate for sourcing locally raised produce and meats. And she certainly walks the talk, buying poultry and beef from neighbors near her rural Minnesota home and growing vegetables in her large garden to use in recipes she prepares on the show and for her husband and 6-year-old son. But in northern Minnesota, growing season is short, so in coldweather months she must resort to more conventional sources such as supermarkets. She also freezes, vacuum-packs and cans. In fact, she’s a trained canner. “I’ve never told the Food Network that,” Thielen says, laughing. “I’ve taken classes at the University of Minnesota because at one point early on, I wanted to manufacture jams and pickles. That was a very shortlived obsession that kind of fizzled out, but I kept the knowledge. So between that course and then my grandma telling me all the stuff she did, I’m a pretty good canner.” Turns out there’s quite a bit of science to canning. “I completed a course called Better Process School,” she says. “And it was like a three-day seminar, and you go there, and they teach you the principles of safe canning. So you learn about water mobility, and you learn about pH. So I have a pH meter.

It’s all I know. I’ve been in this industry for 41 years now. From 1973 to 1975, I went to college to be a chef, then I came out and worked for the next 10 years in various hotels and restaurants in and around London ... and I worked for somebody who gave me the opportunity to work out front, so I came out of the kitchen. I didn’t just want to understand the engine room; I wanted to know the whole business. Ever since then, I’ve been managing various restaurants and hotels and catering businesses. Then I left England and came to America in 1996, when I opened my first restaurant.

Jennifer Lawrence

“THE HUnGER GaMES: CaTCHinG FiRE” Having won the survival competition doesn’t mean easier times for Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) – far from it, in fact – in the well-done first film sequel from Suzanne Collins’ novels. What’s intended as an inspirational victory tour causes an unexpected rebellion, prompting officials to put Katniss into another Hunger Games in a strategy to solve their problem. Returning cast members also include Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Stanley Tucci and Donald Sutherland; among notable newcomers are Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jena Malone. DVD extras: audio commentary by director Francis Lawrence and producer Nina Jacobson; deleted scenes. ››› (PG-13: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand) “12 yEaRS a SLaVE” The true story of Solomon Northup – a free man in the North who was kidnapped and became enslaved in the South – is told in director Steve McQueen’s superb telling of Northup’s

own book, which resulted in nine Oscar nominations including best picture and best actor for Chiwetel Ejiofor as Northup. The film put co-star Lupita Nyong’o on the awards fast track for her wrenching portrayal of another slave; additional cast members include

a chilling Michael Fassbender, Sarah Paulson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Sarah Paulson, Alfre Woodard, Michael K. Williams, Paul Dano and Brad Pitt ... who also was a producer of the movie. ›››› (R: AS, N, P) (Also on Blu-ray; starts March 18 on On Demand) “oLDBoy” In director Spike Lee’s take on a celebrated Korean melodrama, Josh Brolin plays an advertising man abducted and kept in a room for 20 years while the outside world is led to believe he killed his wife. After his two-decade imprisonment ends, he’s determined to find whoever was responsible for his long captivity ... and the outcome definitely isn’t pretty. Elizabeth Olsen, Sharlto Copley and Michael Imperioli (“The Sopranos”) also star. ››› (R: AS, N, P, GV) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand) “HoURS” One of the last films completed by the late Paul Walker, this drama casts

the actor as a man whose personal dilemmas are compounded by the arrival of Hurricane Katrina. The cataclysm hits just as his wife gives birth prematurely, and as his newborn daughter struggles to survive in a New Orleans hospital that’s being evacuated, the man has to make several immediate and desperate choices. (PG-13: AS, V) (Also on On Demand) “CoLD CoMES THE niGHT” Now legendary – and much-honored – for his ruthlessness as Walter White on TV’s “Breaking Bad,” Bryan Cranston adds another heinous character to his resume in this suspense tale. He plays a criminal whose failing eyesight prompts him to take a motel owner (Alice Eve, “Star Trek Into Darkness”) hostage, forcing her to help him recover money taken from him by a corrupt policeman (Logan Marshall-Green). An evershifting game of “Whose side are you on?” then develops. ››› (R: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand)

By all accounts, the 2012-13 Los Angeles Lakers were a resounding dud. Undermined by injuries, chemistry issues and weak defensive play, a team of future Hall of Famers that was built to win instead struggled to make the playoffs and was eliminated in the first round. Dwight Howard, one of the big-name acquisitions on that talented though illfated squad, never felt comfortable in Laker purple and gold. He performed reasonably well in his one season at Staples Center, but a slow recovery from offseason back surgery inhibited his play. He left for Houston via free agency after the season. One season later, the Rockets are winning, and the man known as “Superman” is a big reason why. A fully healed Howard is averaging about 19 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks per game, the centerpiece of a team that at this writing was holding onto the fifth playoff seed in the West. He’s also the loudest voice in the locker room, praising teammates and lightening the mood with jokes. In L.A., he was merely one of a group of stars that included Kobe Bryant, who was and always would be the first scoring option, and didn’t want to step on toes. In Houston, Howard feels as if this is his team. Howard and the Rockets can be seen in action Friday, March 7, against the Indiana Pacers in a game airing on ESPN.

As part of the team’s Give Back Jersey Program, players from the Diamondbacks were on hand for an Ahwatukee Little League game that took place last Saturday at Salt River Fields. Their efforts have resulted in the donation of uniforms and caps to over 22,000 Little League players and coaches as well as a $500,000 contribution to the program.

Cub Power

In a terrific display of tremendous power by the 200 lb, 21 year old shortstop, Baez recently hammered a pitch that flew over the forty foot net behind the left field fence and shattered the window of an unsuspecting car. In other words, expect plenty of souvenir balls this year for Cubby fans in the outfield Wrigley stands.

Prospect on the Prowl

Heat Advisory

Young third baseman Matt Davidson will turn 23 just before the 2014 Major League Baseball season opens and could be on the verge of an entirely new setting as the Sox starting third baseman. Traded in the offseason from the Arizona Diamondbacks, Davidson could be a symbol of a new and exciting beginning for the White Sox.

Reds manager Bryan Price is more than impressed with his two young and plenty powerful arms in camp, prized pitchers Robert Stephenson and Michael Lorenzen. Catcher mitts are poppin, as both have flirted with 100 mph fastballs at times. “It was terrific to see,” Price said after a recent practice. “A lot of times with hard throwers, you expect a lot more physical effort in the delivery. Not so with Stephenson and Lorenzen.”

Three Kauffman Kings With the most sound and well-balanced roster the Royals have seen since the early 2000’s, there is a true feeling of security with the majority of this team’s major pieces. KC can achieve playoff baseball in 2014 if expected surges materialize from three Kaufmann kings - Eric Hosmer, Billy Butler and Mike Moustakas.

In the baseball kingdom, those in the know fully expect right-handed pitchers Eddie Butler and Jon Gray to be helping the Rockies win this year despite little experience. Butler, a supplemental first-round pick in 2012, comes into the season having made just 41 appearances, 40 of which were starts (16-6, 1.90 ERA, 198 strikeouts in 217 1/3 innings, topping out at Double-A). Gray, the third overall pick last year, has all of nine starts (40, 1.93, 51 strikeouts in 37 1/3 innings at Rookie and high Class A). Don’t be fooled however. These two can straight up play.

DIAMONDBACKS ARMED AND READY FOR 2014

It’s been said “if you can’t bite, you’d better not show your teeth.” Heading into the 2014 season, the Arizona Diamondbacks certainly have plenty of reasons to flash a photogenic grin.

Tied for fifth in the Majors with 95 home runs since 2011, new D-backs outfielder Mark Trumbo is one of 10 players in baseball with 30 home runs in each of the last two seasons. “Trumbo’s another guy in the lineup, other than Paul Goldschmidt, who can put up crooked numbers in a hurry and who has the chance to hit 30-40 homers and 100 RBI,” said D-backs Executive Vice President& General Manager Kevin Towers. “When you’re an opposing starting pitcher and our lineup turns over again and you have Goldy and Trumbo probably coming up in the same inning, that’s tough.” Trumbo’s D-backs teammate powered his way toward serious NL MVP consideration with a league-best .551 slugging percentage, 75 extra-base hits, 125 RBI, 332 total bases and a league-high-tying 36 home runs last season. Goldschmidt also had a busy offseason, heading to Sydney, Australia, to promote late March’s two-game Opening Series vs. the Dodgers and also joining the D-backs’ contingent that went to extend an

“Goldy’s a special individual and a special ballplayer,” said Towers. “In all my years, I haven’t been around many like him. He’s always willing to do whatever we ask for the organization, whether it be to fly to Australia to promote the Opening Series or to fly to L.A. to meet with Tanaka. He’s an incredible teammate. You get in here in the morning, and sometimes he beats our trainers in. He’s a great husband and a great role model. In a very short amount of time, he’s become the face of this organization.”

RECORD 6 DVR. COX.COM/CONTOUR

With a returning core group of players that includes last year’s National League MVP runner-up at first base, a pair of All-Star southpaws on the mound, a Silver Slugger manning second, a two-time Gold Glove right fielder, the NL’s top innings man among relievers and baseball’s No. 1 pitching prospect in the wings, the D-backs quickly got to work this past winter shoring up their bullpen and starting rotation, as well as finding a corner outfield bat for the upcoming season.

offer to Japanese free agent pitcher Masahiro Tanaka.

In addition to trading for White Sox reliever Addison Reed, the D-backs jumped at the chance to add veteran free agent Bronson Arroyo. Since 2005, the former Pittsburgh Pirates, Boston Red Sox and Cincinnati Reds starter ranks among the Major League leaders in starts (T-1st, 297), quality starts (3rd, 183), innings pitched (3rd, 1,895.2) and wins (6th, 119). “It’s good to have a guy with that kind of experience in the rotation, especially with a bunch of young pitchers,” D-backs catcher Miguel Montero said about Arroyo. “He takes the ball every five days regardless, and he eats innings. He knows what he’s doing on the mound.” Towers added, “Character here is as important as skill. We have no egos. That’s what I love most about this team. We have a lot of great, talented players… guys that are humble, play the game the way it should be played and be good role models who treat our fans well. They are the types of people we want wearing the D-backs’ uniform. We feel they represent this city, the organization and our fan base in a big way.”

The first World Series was played between Pittsburgh and Boston in 1903 and was a nine-game series. Boston won the series 5-3. AZWeeklyMagazine.com

OCTANE RACEWAY CELEBRATES EXPANDED OUTDOOR PATIO WITH SPRING TRAINING KICK-OFF PARTY Win One Year of Free Racing in ‘The Brickyard’ Patio Cornhole Tournament and Free Kart Racing The only permanent indoor and outdoor kart racing venue in the United States has just expanded their facility to include a semi-private outdoor patio aptly dubbed ‘The Brickyard’. Octane Raceway extends the spring training experience for fans with their new 5,000 square foot outdoor patio. To celebrate the new space, Octane is hosting a Spring Training Kick-Off Party in ‘The Brickyard’ Friday, February 28 directly following the afternoon Rockies vs. Diamondbacks game. Baseball fans can enjoy free kart racing, drink specials and take part in a Cornhole tournament with the champion winning free kart racing for one year. “Although we’ve been in the Valley for ten years, we opened Octane Raceway in the Pavilions last July. Since this is our first spring training season at our new location, we want to make it memorable,” says Scott Sanders, president of Octane Raceway. “With

15 teams now playing in the Cactus League, there is so much energy and anticipation in the Valley each spring. We are tapping into that excitement with our Spring Training Kick-Off Party. We have many post-game activities planned – both on the racetrack and on the patio, that will top off a great afternoon at the ballpark.” The Brickyard at Octane Raceway gives Arizona sports enthusiasts another way to enjoy the entertainment venue. Approximately half of the extended patio is covered in pavers, allowing for casual seating that can easily be converted for an outdoor dinner party or event space for up to 50 guests. The other half of the patio is grass with redwood picnic tables, Adirondack chairs, lounge furniture and three Cornhole sets ready for action. The grass area accommodates up to 50 people and can easily be combined with the paved section of the patio for larger parties. The patio is open to the public but can also be exclusively reserved for social or corporate events.

The patio moniker, The Brickyard, pays homage to the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Originally created in 1909 using a mixture of tar and crushed stone, the IMS racetrack surface was quickly improved using more than 3.2 million bricks throughout the two and a half mile course. As new materials became available, the track was eventually covered with asphalt although a one-yard section of brick remains at the Start/Finish line commemorating the time-tested surface. The Brickyard Spring Training Kick-Off Party festivities take place from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, February 28. For baseball fans with ticket stubs from that day’s Rockies vs. Diamondbacks game, Octane is offering free racing from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. Guests can also compete

in a Cornhole tournament with the champion receiving one year of free kart racing. The tournament will begin at 4:30 p.m. with brackets assigned at that time. Drink specials will run throughout the party featuring two dollar domestic and import draughts. The Spring Training Kick-Off Party is open to the public. For more information, please visit www. OctaneRaceway.com or call (602) 3027223.

Angels’ Fastball Just Plain Devilish The Angels worked hard during the offseason to beef up their pitching rotation, and do so they did. Enter 22 year old prototype power reliever R.J. Alvarez. His fastball is nasty and can register triple digits, consistently sitting at 95-96 mph, with movement. Master of the occasional change up, his tight power slider is a potentially plus pitch, sending countless minor league hitters back to the dugout feeling helpless and confused. Alvarez struck out 14.6 batters per nine innings last year in the High-A California League. Now in the big show, batters beware. The pitching system in Anaheim has been upgraded.

THE REBIRTH OF LAS SENDAS GOLF CLUB The rebirth of the Las Sendas Golf Club is complete. Now in the 5th year of ownership, the primarily Canadian consortium of Lloyd & Wayne McBean along with partners Ken Elias, Ian Warrack and John Musil, (American) fulfilled their goal of constructing the additional amenities needed in order to be considered a “world class” golf facility. The list of improvements costing more than 10 million dollars is long and includes a newly renovated and expanded clubhouse and patio, featuring 3 unique restaurant operations and a new state of the art kitchen to service the very popular dining facilities. The group did not stop there, adding a 13,000 sq. ft. banquet facility called the Vistas Pavilion. This facility can accommodate tournaments, conferences, weddings or any other party with space available for groups up to 400. The monumental Vistas Pavilion was constructed high on the peaks of the golf course property showcasing the awesome vistas of the Phoenix valley, Camelback and entire west facing skyline.

With the golf course only partially complete cart paths were poured on all 18 holes of the desert floor; sewer and water including electricity were brought onto the golf course in order to complete construction of the air conditioned comfort station and newly constructed Oasis Snack Bar located between the 3rd hole and the 14th tee. Another new building was constructed to house the Pro Shop, located next to the clubhouse offering private locker rooms for the growing membership. You will also find a halfway house and public restroom, conveniently located next to the 10th tee box. The practice facilities were improved and a teaching area constructed for The Las Sendas Golf Academy now headed up by PGA National Teacher of the Year, Mike Malaska. New club storage facilities, shoe shine room and a cart fleet, complete the long list of improvements which now make Las Sendas truly a “world class” facility. The restaurants are unique in every way. The Grille at Las Sendas, is a comfortable sports lounge offering a wide array of menu items from breakfast to dinner. More than a dozen hi-def. televisions broadcast all major sporting events including NFL Ticket. The Patio at Las Sendas offers live entertainment 6 nights each week and boasts some of the best views in the valley. You can book your reservation on Open Table. The ownership group also added Bogey’s Member’s Lounge, a private dining room for the growing membership. This room is dedicated to the membership of Las

Sendas and plays an integral part of the club’s atmosphere, allowing member to hold their weekly functions and activities without interruption from the other restaurant operations. The Las Sendas restaurants are unique experience in every way. You will find a vibrant atmosphere with customers flocking to the facilities each and every evening to enjoy the breathtaking sunset views, live entertainment and culinary expertise not commonly found at a golf facility! In 2012 Las Sendas was selected “Best Golf Course in Phoenix” by New Times Magazine and in 2013 won “Best Golf Course East Valley”, by the residents of the East Valley and presented by the East Valley Tribune. Las Sendas is the proud host of the Alice Cooper, Solid Rock Pro Am, The Coyotes Golf Tournament and the 2014 Canadian PGA Club Professional’s Championship. Las Sendas also hosts more than 21 events annually which include Live Theatre, Musical Productions, and Theme Night Events. Memberships are available at this time and are 100% refundable and there is no waiting list to exit. The club carries no mortgage and promises to keep the golf course from being leveraged. This certainly provides promise of longevity in the always challenging golf industry. Even before the renovation, Las Sendas was acclaimed by avid golfers and sports writers. It was ranked the 10th most challenging and one of the top 100 courses in the nation according to two ZAGAT Surveys. The land where Las Sendas is located also has some Wild West history. It was owned by Tom Mix, silent film star, in the late 1930’s. He and John Wayne used to ride horses in these hills. Las Sendas means “The Pathways”, which is what you will feel like you are playing, pathways thru the pristine desert. Las Sendas Golf Club was Robert Trent Jones’s first Arizona project and proved to be more than an average desert course. It’s a tribute to how well a golf course design can work with the natural desert. The design of a skill challenging course and the preservation of the desert world exist in harmony. Put Las Sendas at the top of your must play list next time you plan a trip to the Phoenix area. Las Sendas Golf Club is located in the East valley off Power Road and Thomas, with easy access from the 202 freeway at 7555 E. Eagle Crest Drive in Mesa, AZ.

The tallest player in Major League history is pitcher Jon Rauch, who is six feet, eleven inches tall. February 26th, 2014 - March 4th, 2014

BEER! SECTION

BEER!

SERVING BEER I’ve seen a lot of buzz on the internet lately about bars that don’t serve beer properly. There are really only a few cardinal sins you can make when pouring beer, but in the interest of filling a column, let’s talk about the whole process.

Proper Glassware – this is important but not critical. The use of glassware appropriate to the style of beer has to do with how the glass treats the beer, how it releases the aromatics and ultimately how the drinker perceives the beer. Try it yourself. Pour yourself a higher ABV beer like a Belgian Tripel in both a standard pint glass and a tulip glass (you can use a white wine glass if you don’t have a tulip). The pint glass will lose flavor quicker, while the tulip will allow the aromatics to concentrate and hit your nose just as you take a sip. Since aroma is so important to taste, the flavor will be enhanced and you will truly taste the beer. There are glasses for wheat beers, pilsners, nitrogen beers and more. You can have your higher gravity beers in tulips or goblets or snifters. It is not practical for most bars to carry a large assortment of beer glasses, but if they at least have one style like a tulip or snifter for more complex beer then they are on the right track. Serving Temperature – This is difficult to control at most bars, especially for draught beer, as it requires multiple coolers set at multiple temperatures. Most bars have one cooler for kegs and one for bottles, both set around 38 degrees. In an ideal world only the lightest flavored beers, such as American Premium Lagers and Lights would be served below 40 degrees. Craft and import pilsners, hefeweizens, and most other lagers and wheats should be served in the 40-45 degree range. The bulk of your American craft styles…Ambers, Pales, IPAs, Stouts,

etc…are best served in the 45-50 degree range. As you climb the ladder in ABV to Sour Ales, many Belgian Ales, English Bitters and Bock Beers so to should the temperature rise. Now we are in the cellar temperature area – 50-55 degrees is perfect for these beers. Finally, big Belgians, Old Ales, Barleywines and Imperial Stouts are best served in the 55-60 range. The reason for this is twofold. First, cold hides flavors and bigger, richer beers deserve to be presented at a temperature which allows the best possible taste experience. Secondly, at colder temperatures the dominant flavor tends to be alcohol which is not necessarily the way you want to enjoy your La Trappe Quad. So the rule of thumb is the higher the alcohol, the warmer you should serve it. It is not uncommon to see beer geeks sitting around cupping their beer with their hands in an effort to get it to warm up to an enjoyable temperature. Again, try it yourself. Pour a high ABV beer ice cold and sip it, let it sit for 10 minutes and try it again. Continue to sample it as it warms up. You will be amazed at the flavor differences. Clean Glassware – there is a certain method to cleaning glassware that should be followed. The best is a dedicated three compartment sink with special, sudsless soap, a cool rinse and sanitizer being used. Each sink should have brushes and glasses should be thoroughly scrubbed and allowed to air dry upside down. If a dishwasher is used, it should also be dedicated as other foodstuffs that may linger, especially dairy and fatty foods, can cause pour head retention and subsequent loss of carbonation. There are three very simple ways to tell if your beer was served in a beer clean glass. The easiest way is head retention, does the head stay appropriate for the style as you drink

it? If not, the glass was not beer clean. Next is Belgian Lacing. In a beer clean glass, each sip should leave a ring of foam around the glass serving as a sort of road map of how you drank that beer. Finally, there should be no bubbles emanating from the side or bottom of the glass. This is a sign that some debris is stuck on the glass and the beer is reacting to it by releasing carbonation at that point. The one exception to this are certain glassed by breweries such as New Belgium that are designed with a nucleation point at the bottom. This is to allow the carbonation to release slowly thereby

enhancing the aroma release and improving the drinking experience.

Glass Temperature – This is a hotly debated topic which we will resolve right here and now. Glassware should never, never, ever be frozen. This is true for every beer including American Light Lagers. There are multiple reasons for this. One reason is that frozen glassware destroys the carbonation level of the beer. Since carbonation is important to mouthfeel and mouthfeel is a major component of enjoyment of the beer, it is not a Continued On Page 82...

BEER! SECTION

...Continued from page 80 good thing to lose carbonation. The beer becomes flat and watery very quickly. Frozen glassware also causes the beer to foam excessively. This is due to the glass being colder than the beer and contributes to the rapid loss of carbonation. As noted above, beer served too cold loses flavor. Frozen glassware contributes to that flavor loss. Ice chunks can break off of a frozen glass diluting the beer and interfering with the experience. Finally, and this is the most important, think about what is actually freezing to the glassware. As noted above, the last thing that touches the glass during the cleaning process is sanitizer. When a beer glass is frozen that sanitizer is frozen to the sides of the glass. In essence, when you are drinking out of a frozen glass, you are drinking sanitizer. This is another easy one to try at home. Once you do, you will always make sure that a bar is serving you a beer in anything other than a frozen glass. If all they have are frozen glasses, ask them to give it a quick rinse with warm water to thaw it and clean out the sanitizer residue. Pouring a Beer – How a beer is poured makes all the difference in the world. Let’s start with draught beer. The server should take a clean, room temperature glass and ideally give it a little cold water spritz from a glass rinser if they have one. This does several things – it cleans out any sanitizer residue, removes any dust that may have accumulated while the glass sat, and it cools the glass down slightly to make for a better pour.To dispense the beer, hold the glass at

a 45-degree angle about one inch below the beer faucet. Place a hand low on the tap, near the faucet, and quickly snap the handle towards you with one motion, until it stops and the faucet is open and pouring beer. This is important as opening the tap slowly will cause the beer to foam. As the glass fills, straighten the glass to an upright position, and close the faucet by snapping it back to the closed position. A properly poured beer will always have at least an inch of foam on the top, depending on the style. This foam is important to the enjoyment of the beer as it allows the aromatics to release slowly and keeps the beer from going flat. As Americans, we have been trained to expect beer to come right to the top of the glass. This is not a good thing so don’t worry about sacrificing a little bit of beer to improve your enjoyment. There is a picture somewhere on one of these pages of what a perfect pour should look like. Another thing to beware of is bartenders who stick the tap faucet into the beer. This can lead to metallic taste at best. At worst, it allows bacteria to grow on the faucet as the old beer sits. This can get transferred to the next beer and create some truly horrible flavors. There is so much to know about the proper method of serving beer and this just scratches the surface. It does give you some ideas of what you are looking for in a good beer bar. Feel free to cut this out and keep it with you as a check list to see if your bar is handling your beer properly. Until next time, Cheers.

You do not need a passport to time travel to the 26th annual Arizona Renaissance Festival & Artisan Marketplace

Put your daily cares aside and escape to the Royal Faire, located just east of Apache Junction on US Highway 60, near the Superstition Mountains. You will find life in the 16th century is festive and fun in a 30-acre medieval playground with five great attractions all rolled into one. There are thirteen Stages of continuous live entertainment, each stage setting packed with a unique mix of comedy, music, and mischievous antics. Don Juan & Miguel brandishing whips and swords will have you laughing till your stomach hurts. The Ded Bob Sho is a real trip too – but you better think before you heckle this guy, or you’ll find yourself on stage as part of the act. Just some of the other hilarious acts include; Tartanic, Bathos The Muse, London Broil, The Tortuga Twins along

with many, many more! And don’t miss the all NEW act: Washing Well Wenches!

This is an Outdoor Circus of acrobats & merrymakers, where you never know what will happen next, on stage or off. A Medieval Arts and Crafts Fair with over 200 storybook shops, charming tents, and carts plus artisan demonstrations of the fine skills of weaving, woodcarving, blacksmithing, glassblowing, pottery and jewelry. Jousting Tournaments, three performances daily with armored knights on noble steeds challenging one another, re-create history’s original Super bowl bash in the 5,000 seat arena. A Day-Long Feast with hearty foods to satisfy your appetite plus beer and wine to quench your thirst. You can also make reservations for The Pleasure Feast - a one and a half-hour extravaganza! Savor five courses of fine food and drink with a side order

of raucous live entertainment Admission ticket and souvenir goblet is included with Feast price.

Kids love the interactive games and peoplepowered rides: Da Vinci’s Flying Machine, the Slider Joust, Piccolo Pony - a rocking horse bigger than an elephant - the Dragon Climbing Tower, Castle Siege, a Maze, Archery Range and much more, and the NEW ride: Steam Pirate’s Airship One of the special features of the Festival is that entertainment takes place throughout the day right in front of your eyes on the streets of the village, as a costumed cast of 2000 medieval commoners, knights and royalty celebrates a 16th century day of play.

Hours: Every Saturday and Sunday, February 8 – March 30 including Presidents’ Day Monday, February 17 from 10 am-6 pm. Advance discount tickets are available at Fry¹s or online - print at home.

On January 30th-February 3rd, the Norwegian Pearl set sail out of Miami, Florida with a sold out ship of over 2,500 people. The Groove Cruise was celebrating its 10 year anniversary and held nothing back to all of those aboard the ship. The 4 day cruise stopped in Cozumel, Mexico and held a private beach party with headliners Sultan and Ned Shepard followed by John Dahlback. Performing artists on the ship were names such as Tritonal, Markus Schulz, EDX, Rebecca and Fiona, and Gareth Emery - just to name a few. Parties on the boat ranged from noon until 7am the next day. There is no other greater experience to date than being in the middle of the ocean surrounded by people who are just as positive as you are and wanting to have an amazing time. Luckily, this coming October 2nd-5th, The Los Angeles Groove Cruise welcomes The Golden Princess as its new vessel sailing out of LA. Pre-sales begin March 5th at www.thegroovecruise.com Use the discount code â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Photographyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to receive $50 onboard credit.

Liquid Sol Music Festival Liquid Sol Music Festival is an all-ages event featuring three stages of live music performances by local and national artists including Train, The All-American Rejects, Authority Zero and more. The fest will also have over 25 vendors, beer pavilion, live charity auction, fundraising activities, vehicle extrication demo, kids corner and much more. Alternative rock band, The All-American Rejects, consist of lead singer and bassist Tyson Ritter, lead guitarist Nick Wheeler, guitarist Mike Kennerty and drummer Chris Gaylor. Before joining forces with Kennerty and Gaylor in 2005, Ritter and Wheeler would work drum loops and pre-programmed rhythm tracks during their early performances. These arrangements were reprised on their self-titled album that caught the attention of the mainstream market. Their second studio album “Move Along,” was released in 2005 was the official debut of Kennerty and Gaylor, which became certified double platinum and produced three chart topping singles on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart including “Dirty Little Secret,” “Move Along,” and “It Ends Tonight.” Since starting their career in 1999, the band has sold over 10 million albums worldwide and was ranked in the Top 100 Artists of

2000 on Billboard. Their third studio album, “When the World Comes Down,” which was released on December 16, 2008 sold over 100,000 records earning the No. 15 spot on the Billboard 200 Chart. The band came back together in 2012 to release their fourth album, “Kids in the Street” with the help of producer, Greg Wells. Their most recent song, “Gonzo” was just nominated for the 2014 Oscar’s Long List for Original Song Award that is directed by Charlie Paul. The festival lineup will also include: Blind Melon, BoDeans, Buckcherry, Cage of Gods, Cracker, Ed Kowalczyk, Everclear, Fuel, Gin Blossoms, Lovehammers, The White Buffalo, Tonic, Vertical Horizon, 28 North, 7Horse, Royal Bliss and local favorite Kelley James. Liquid Sol Entertainment Group has partnered with The 100 Club of Arizona and Glendale Firefighters Charities and their local beneficiaries, including Hope for Hunger, in memory of the Yarnell Hill Fire tragedy in June 2013. The event will also feature a live charity auction with items including artist meet & greets, signed band memorabilia, vacation packages, resort & spa packages and more.
