Congratulations also go out to poker room dealer Damien for dealing the winning jackpot. I had the pleasure of speaking with Zack Rome about his win. He said at first he didn’t know what had happened, but soon realized he was a lot richer. Zach is a student at U of A majoring in math and computer sciences. He plans to use his winnings to further his education and help pay for his graduate degree. I’m sure this is a birthday he won’t soon forget. Congratulations to you Zack and all the best to you in your future endeavors.

Lightning Strikes at The Fort! By Marianne Minneci
For those of you out there, myself included, that were not part of the Mega Jackpot, have no fear, the new jackpot amount is currently over $42,000 and growing. Remember lightning can strike twice - so make sure you are there when it happens again.
Monsoons may have been raging in the Phoenix area, but lightning struck at Fort McDowell on Monday June 27th when young Zach Rome hit the “Mega Bad Beat Jackpot” in the poker room. This win was made even more special by the fact that it was Zach’s 21st birthday and this was his first time playing at a casino!
In addition to the Mega Bad Beat Jackpot, the Fort has the Easy Way Jackpot, which is Aces full or better beaten by 4 of a kind or better. Bad beat gets $400, winning hand $200 and room share, that’s right room share all active players in jackpot poker games win $50.
Zach’s parents brought him to Fort McDowell to celebrate his special day. During their visit they tried their luck at the slots and the Blackjack tables and to complete the total experience he and his dad decided to play a little Texas Hold-em. This turned out to be the best decision of the night.
Other promotions are “Aces Cracked Win a Rack’. 4-8 Hold-em win $100 and 8-16 Hold-em win $200 all day-everyday. 3-6 Hold-em win $100 on Mondays only. There is also AA Cracked with 13 Progressive Jackpots. If a player loses with Pocket AA against Pocket 22 thru pocket KK, The player with pocket AA will win the posted jackpot.
When two seats opened up at a 3-6 table, Zach and his father sat down. After playing for about two hours, Zach was dealt the 5c, 5s. The flop came out As, 5d Qs. This gave Zack a set of 5’s, but something else was brewing at the other side of the table. The turn was a Ks which gave Fort regular Richard S. a Royal Flush. The river brought the 5h which gave Zach quad fives. Richard bet, and Zach just called. When the cards were turned over, I’m sure the sound that resounded from the table out did any thunder clap on the outside. The $114,750 had been hit. Zak with the losing hand received $57, 375.00 and Richard S. with the winning hand received $28,687.00. The remaining seven players, one being Zak’s dad, received $4,098.00.
Let’s not forget the ever popular “High Hand Spin” where you can win up to $599 for any 4 of a kind or higher in Hold-em or Stud, In Omaha get any 4 nines or higher. Posted rules apply. As you can see, there is a lot going on in the Fort McDowell poker room. If you haven’t been there for a while what are you waiting for? The money is yours for the taking. Until next time, “Have a Lucky Month” write me at azpokerlady@cox. net.

Silver Screen Scoop!
Playing exclusively at Harkins Camelview 5. (R – 108 minutes)
By Joseph J. Airdo
‘A Little Help’ is an emotionally stirring film. Michael Weithorn explains how it came about…
Sam Raimi, Robert G. Tapert and Bruce Campbell are producing a remake of “The Evil Dead” set to be directed by Fede Alvarez, who also wrote the screenplay which is now being fine-tuned by Oscar-winning “Juno” and “Jennifer’s Body” writer Diablo Cody.

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
Interview: Writer/Director Michael J. Weithorn (A Little Help) In ‘A Little Help’ a woman (Jenna Fischer) gets entangled in a series of bizarre lies in order to take care of herself and her 12-year-old son (Daniel Yelsky).
“I had been doing TV for many years, and I was anxious to explore a different kind of a challenge. I’ve always loved movies that deal with very ordinary people, and ordinary problems, and manage to find very compelling stories within them so my ambition was to try to do one myself. Very motivating to me was, do you remember the movie ‘You Can Count on Me’ by Kenneth Lonergan? (Stan answers excitedly ‘YES!’ and Michael continues), I came out of seeing that inspired.” Michael continues… “I started scribbling in a notebook and started making notes about different things I thought might be good in a movie that I liked, miscellaneous ideas - some big, some small, and sort of assembled them into what became
this movie! After I finished the script, I thought I’d explore trying to make it, and I loved the idea of try to make it small, unlike a big TV show with a network and a studio but to do a smaller, more intimate film with people who loved the project and wanted to be there and that’s kind of what happened!” said Michael with a chuckle! Read Stan Robinson’s full interview with writer/director Michael Weithorn exclusively online at ScreenScene.org and Examiner.com.
Interview: Novelist Lisa See (Snow Flower and the Secret Fan) A story set in 19th century China and centered on the lifelong friendship between two girls who develop their own secret code as a way to contend with the rigid cultural norms imposed on women. Playing exclusively at Harkins Camelview 5. (PG-13 – 120 minutes) The transition for the source material for a film, whether from a novel, play, or a previous literary work to a screenplay is always a concern for the author. As the author of the novel, Lisa See talks about her involvement.
Bet You Didn’t Know! by Stan Robinson
“I read every version of the script, sometimes they were here in Los Angeles, sometimes they were off in China filming, I was on a book tour then and sometimes we would either talk on the phone, meet in person, have conference calls, or we would exchange lengthy emails. I would say that some of the things they listened to, and, some of the things they didn’t. I think that’s certainly appropriate, so I would say what I thought, make some suggestions and some things they used and some things they didn’t!” Often while shooting, a certain sequence just doesn’t work and talking with the author is a great benefit. Lisa adds, “There were a few times when they would call from China, we spoke, and I’m sure that happens all the time and I was available to them, given the fact that I was 10,000 miles away, I was available to them as they wanted and needed!”
The Cheeri-Owls box, that appeared in ‘Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix’ (2007) with a color scheme similar to that of a Cheerios box, appeared during a breakfast scene in the Great Hall!

Reviewers’ Roundtable The following quotes were pulled from reviews written by AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazine’s Film Section! contributors to present readers with a wider perspective about this weekend’s new releases. Read their full reviews of these and other movies exclusively online at Examiner.com, AZWeeklyMagazine. com and ScreenScene.org, respectively. At 27 years old, Joseph J. Airdo is a Walter Cronkite School of Journalism graduate with a degree in media analysis and criticism. Randy Montgomery, 34, works in media and marketing and holds a Master’s Degree in Counseling and Education. And, at 64 years old, Stan Robinson is a retired First Assistant Director with more than 22 years of experience in film and media production.
‘The Drummond Will’ Estranged brothers Marcus and Danny Drummond (Mark Oosterveen and Phillip James) find themselves on a surprisingly dangerous undertaking to unravel the mystery surrounding their father’s unlikely wealth. Playing exclusively at Harkins Valley Art. (NR – 81 minutes) Joseph: “Though its clever concept mildly echoes the satires starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, ‘The Drummond Will’ inherits none of their genius. The blackand-white dark comedy’s dry humor and complete absurdity is a mundane marriage that results in very few laughs. On the other hand, the movie may be worth a watch for die-hard fans of Monte Python, which looks to be the primary influence of writer/director Alan Butterworth and co-writer Sam Forster.” Grade: D
‘Life in a Day’ A documentary shot by filmmakers all over the world that serves as a time capsule to show future generations what it was like to be alive July 24, 2010. Screening Sunday, June 24 exclusively at UltraStar Scottsdale Pavilion, Harkins Tempe Marketplace 16, Harkins Arrowhead Fountains 18 and Harkins Superstition Springs 25. (NR – 95 minutes)
Joseph: “With their exceptionally unique documentary ‘Life in a Day,’ director Kevin Macdonald and producer Ridley Scott have captured a moment in time that doubles as both a historical record and a cinematic masterpiece. Comprised of scenes from 4,500 hours of footage in 80,000 submissions from 140 nations across the globe, ‘Life in a Day’ is a mesmerizing march through human existence thanks to everyday people’s willingness to share intimate pieces of their lives with the world and editor Joe Walker’s brilliant synthesis of said pieces into something divinely beautiful.” Grade: B
‘A Little Help’ A woman (Jenna Fischer) gets entangled in a series of bizarre lies in order to take care of herself and her 12-year-old son (Daniel Yelsky). Playing exclusively at Harkins Camelview 5. (R – 108 minutes) Joseph: “Writer/director Michael J. Weithorn’s dramedy ‘A Little Help’s’ greatest strength is in the relate-ability of its realistically flawed characters. Having said that, the movie still suffers in the end as a result of creating too many complications to properly tie up in less than 2 hours. However, it is also incredibly charming and emotionally resonant. Add on the fact that ‘A Little Help’ features an outstanding performance by ‘The Office’ star Jenna Fischer and the flick ends up being pretty hard to resist.” Grade: C Stan: “I’ve often said ‘It’s the smaller independent films that are the real gems of filmmaking.’ Writer/director Michael J. Weithorn’s film is a real gem as he presents the realities of becoming a single parent after the death of a spouse, the aspects of moving forward, raising a child who is hurting as well, and nicely laced with comedic overtones that softens the weightiness of the theme.” Grade: B
‘Snow Flower and the Secret Fan’ A story set in 19th century China and centered on the lifelong friendship between two girls who develop their own secret code as a way to contend with the rigid cultural norms imposed on women. Playing exclusively at Harkins Camelview 5.
South Mountain’s 1st Traditional Italian Restaurant
(PG-13 – 120 minutes) Joseph: “Though aesthetically beautiful, director Wayne Wang’s latest drama ‘Snow Flower and the Secret Fan’ is a stoic snore. Masquerading as an important lesson in female friendship, ‘Snow Flower and the Secret Fan’ relies on cheesy melodramatics to meld two separate stories taking place generations apart from one another. A brief cameo from Hugh Jackman is laughable and the endresult is as confusing as it is boring with Richard Wong’s gorgeous cinematography being the only saving grace.” Grade: F Stan: “Although the theme centers on the friendship of two women with a view of the culture that prompts their lifelong union, the basic theme of friendships and the rigidness of lifestyles supersede genders and cultures. Director Wayne Wang presents a visually capturing view while reiterating the true meaning of that basic need for all of us as humans, the support of a friend as we live life amidst the challenges that life brings our way.” Grade: B

Getting ‘real’ with Sunny anderson

We Deliver! (800) 951.FOOD(3663)
Sunny Anderson of “Cooking for Real,” airing Saturdays on Food Network, knows her Bahamian rice and peas from her Jamaican rice and peas. She also knows her M16 from her 9 mm. You’d expect as much from a Food Network star who is also an Air Force veteran. Sometimes doors open for you, and you walk through them. For Anderson, it seems she was smart enough to build a few doors, each one seemingly entering a kitchen. While in the Air Force, Anderson found her calling as a radio host and news reporter. That career continued after her tour of duty ended, and she wound up on New York’s hip-hop radio station HOT 97.

We need to remember catastrophes even when they’re not in the news or it’s an anniversary. Animal Planet’s “Black Tide: Voices From the Gulf ” Thursday, July 28, is the perfect jolt to complacency. It’s also an update on how residents of the Gulf of Mexico have fared since April 20, 2010, when the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded, killing 11 men and forever changing the gulf. Though there are segments on marine life in the very well-done two-hour documentary, would bead 4.5” xas2.375” expected for this channel, animals are only a part of the debacle. Many people, trying to piece together wrecked lives, are also featured. Teenagers tell of persistent fevers and coughs. Fishermen lament how meager the haul is. Small cafe owners barely stay in business because like all small businesses, they are dependent upon one another. Commercial fishing is a $2.4 billion industry in Louisiana; oil and gas production is a $65 billion one. The film allows people to talk and viewers to draw their own conclusions. Though drawing the conclusion that BP officials are telling the truth and that scientists and locals are lying would be impossible.

“How to train your Dragon” (2010): Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, a sweet, young Viking, asks the eternal question: “Has anyone ever tried to train a dragon?” “No one has ever lived to tell the tale,” he’s told.

Hiccup devises an invention and captures a dragon, but rather than slay it, he and Toothless the Dragon join forces. “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” (2005): Dragons pop up throughout the Harry Potter series, but of all the dragons, the scene in this movie haunts. Though underage, Harry winds up entered in a dangerous wizard competition.

It breaks free of its chains and threatens to turn Harry into dragon kibble as it chases him throughout the Hogwarts campus.

“If I had to give her one word, it would be classic, not trendy,” Tiffani Thiessen Thiessen says. “I find her to be very 4.5” x 2.375” ad straightforward. We wanted to make sure she was definitely a New York girl.” Though Thiessen is a Californian, she says, “Elizabeth is the closest to my true self to any character I have played in my life; she is very career-driven and extremely passionate.”
Questions: 1) On the sitcom “Happy Days,” teenage goofball Warren Weber was better known by what name? 2) What was Radar O’Reilly’s (Gary Burghoff) real first name on “M*A*S*H”?

Answers:
Sometimes the simplest pieces are the most difficult to find. The perfect nude pumps – not too pink, not too camel, right height – or the black jacket that can be worn with jeans, or a designer dress are the items that make a wardrobe. Elizabeth Burke (Tiffani Thiessen) of USA Network’s “White Collar” has that streamlined perfection down. As a New York party planner who is also working in an art gallery, Burke needs to present herself in a chic and polished way.

The Belgian Triple that’s a Triple Threat! by King James Swann
BEER! SECTION
A TRIBUTE TO OUDE ZUIPERS
Hello all, I hope last week’s breakdown of Ska Decadent Imperial IPA was to your liking. This week I would like to tell you about a very special brew I found at Papago Brewing right here in Scottsdale AZ. The beer is called Oude Zuipers, meaning “Old Drunk” in the Dutch language. This one is special because it is not actually brewed here in AZ. Papago has Oude Zuipers contract brewed in Belgium by Brouwerij Van Steenberge! Yes, that’s right beer lovers, the very same brewery producing award winning beers such as Gulden Draak & Piraat. How cool is that? I will say that I’m impressed! Oude Zuipers, much like stable mate Gulden Draak, is an unusually dark Triple style ale. School time: The word “Triple” refers to the number of fermentation occurrences, or the number of times simple sugars existing in or added to the beer are exploited for the purposes of fermentation and the creation of alcohol. Whooo that was a long bloody definition! Now I’m thirsty.
Check out where to enjoy and purchase these local brands on “Beer Spy” at www.worldclassbeverages.com AZWeeklyMagazine.com
Getting back to the beer, your pallet is met with a sweet start and a touch of spice. There is just a dollop of hop character on the back end for balance and a nicely attenuated finish. It pours a hazy golden amber with a thick off-white head. Essences of cherry, tangy citrus, malt & honey best describe flavors coming to mind as the beer begins to reach room temperature. Now here is where the fun begins, although Oude Zuipers is mellow & quite smooth, its ABV comes in at a staggering 11%. Yes my friends 11%! Never has something so strong been so easy to drink.Wonderful yet quite sneaky! It is currently available on tap & in bottles at Papago Brewing and Whole Foods Chandler, while bottles can also be found at Tops Liquor. I highly recommend trying this brew because it’s A: Delicious, B: Quite Strong & C: Locally Owned. The Belgian Triple that’s a Triple Threat! As always, feel free to send your comments and suggestions to kingjamesswann@gmail.com & until next time, Cheers!

Sour Beers: A Closer Look In case you haven’t noticed it, sour beers are becoming increasingly popular. While I doubt they will ever be as popular as IPAs, they are certainly picking up more than a reasonable amount of interest. People are discovering that, once you get past the first couple of sips, sour beers can be refreshing and adventurous. For that reason, I always refer to them as “three-sip” beers. The first sip you want to spit out, the second sip is a little more palatable… and finally by the third sip you are starting to appreciate the simple complexity of the beer. So, where did these beers come from and how did they get so popular? Recently, craft brewers have pushed the envelope by creating increasingly hoppy (bitter) beers that have challenged the taste receptors and been part of the backbone of the Extreme Beer movement. By now they have created all sorts of new flavors whether through dry hopping, wet hopping, continuous hopping, single hopping (let’s leave triple hopping out of this…makes me think of domestic light beers) or whatever other type of hopping exists. Bitter is great and there is probably plenty more to
42
Follow us on and www.worldclassbeverages.com The High-End Beer Division of Crescent Crown” discover, but people looking for extreme flavor are looking to be challenged with something other than bitter. And that’s where sour beers are starting to make their move. Not that creating sour beers is a new concept… as we will see a couple of paragraphs down, it is old as beer itself. It’s also not brand new to craft brewers either. Tomme Arthur created a beer called Mo BettaBretta sometime around 2004 when he was at Pizza Port and I am sure that wasn’t the first of the American Wild Ales as they have come to be known. However this one sticks with me in particular because of a symposium I attended in 2005 at Papago Brewing Company in Scottsdale Arizona. The event was a brewers’ roundtable featuring Tomme, Sam Calagione of Dogfish Head, Adam Avery of Avery Brewing, Derek Osborne from BJ’s Brewery, Andy Ingram from Four Peaks and Jim Scussel from Oak Creek Brewing. The topic was extreme beers and each brewer featured some outrageously strong beer. Except for Tomme Arthur.Tomme brought the aforementioned Mo BettaBretta and made the point that extreme beers didn’t need to be high ABV hop bombs. A simple 6% ABV beer could still be considered extreme because extreme is about flavor and nothing
else. The beer was mouth puckering sour and it was refreshing and it was perfect. I had tried sour beers before, but after this one, I was hooked. As a side note, this beer was brewed collaboratively with Peter Bouckaert of New Belgium Brewing in Colorado. Peter had come to New Belgium by way of Rodenbach, perhaps one of the best producers of sour style beers. Anyway, let’s see if we can’t dig in to the history of sour beer just a little, figure out where the styles came from and then end on a high note. Not likely, but here we go. There are a variety of styles that get rolled up under the term “sour” and it may not be entirely fair to stick them all with the same label, but at some level the similarities in these styles outweigh the differences. There is so much going on with these beers that perhaps the descriptor sour may not even be appropriate. Jeff Sparrow, author of a book called Wild Brews, had originally titled it “Sour Beers.” But as he explored the Belgian brewing traditions that have contributed so much to the topic, he changed his mind. “I always say that this beer isn’t sour—it’s wild. I say that because, if all a beer was,
was sour, who’s going to like it? There’s so much more going on.” What styles fall in to this category? There are lambics and their attendant variations made with fruit or by blending old and young in to Gueuze; there are the sometimes vinegar like West Flanders Sour Red Ales; the East Flanders Brown Ales, sometimes called Oud Bruins; the “champagne of the North,” as Napoleon Bonaparte dubbed the German Berliner Weiss and even the classic Pierre Celis Belgian Witbier. To understand these beers it helps to understand a little about the “bugs” that make them. There are four basic types and hundreds of variations. Brettanomyces is wild yeast that produces flavors and aromas that are best described as funky. Other descriptors like horse blanket, bandaid and sweat don’t sound quite as appealing…but they are accurate. The other three most common bugs are lactobacillus, pediococcus and acetobacter. But wait you say, struggling to recall your high school biology, aren’t those last three some kind of bacteria? Of course they are and they provide absolutely wonderful flavors to these amazing beers. The first two produce lactic

...Continued from page 42. acid which is the same thing in sour milk, but in beer, lactic acid takes on more of a sweet and sour characteristic. The latter produces acetic acid which is responsible for the vinegar like flavors in some beers. These can all combine to produce esters - a complicated chemical compound. All you need to know is that they provide some incredible complexity in a beer. Lambics are produced in very few parts of Belgium and are typically done in a cobweb filled, dirty appearing brewery, sometimes with windows to throw open to the fields outside. The reason for all this is to capture the natural wild yeasts surrounding the area in an open fermentation process allowing them to bring the unique flavors of that particular region to the beer. Young and old lambics can be blended to produce gueuze and fruit can be added to produce a fruit lambic. In the case of fruit lambics, raspberry (Framboise) and cherry (Kriek) are the most common, but other fruits can be used. Beware of certain lambics that don’t have the funk you would expect from this process. These “coca cola” lambics, as they are called typically add Acesulfame-K, a type of saccharine, to artificially sweeten the beer to make it more appealing to mass consumption. This is loosely based on an old Belgian tradition of serving the lambic with two sugar cubes, allowing the consumer to determine whether or not to sweeten the beer and exactly how much. The Flemish Sour Reds are wonderfully complex beers that rely on the accumulation of bugs in the wooden vessels they are stored in to

produce both lactic and acetic notes to the beer. At renowned Rodenbach, brewmaster Rudi Ghequire defines the acidification of the beer as “a late Middle Ages conservation method” that prevented spoilage by pushing pH levels too low for dangerous bacteria to thrive, as older, more acidic beer was mixed with younger batches. Foeders, the giant oaken tuns where the beer matures, vary enough from one to another that several different foeders are tapped for the final blend. Oud Bruin beers rely on the introduction of the bugs directly and are fermented in stainless steel to help control the final product a little better. These beers tend to be sweeter than their red counterparts with flavors of caramel, toffee and dark fruit. The final product is very malty with undertones of sherry. Berliner Weisses are different in that they are typically made from unboiledwort (unfermented beer) which is even more conducive to the lactic acid producing bugs. Berliner Weisses can be out of this world tart and have been compared to incredibly tart lemonade. These beers can be absolutely refreshing on a hot day. The Berlin brewers took notice of some people’s aversion to too sour of a beer, but instead of sugar cubes as with the lambics, Berliner Weisses are frequently served with one of two syrups. A himbeer or raspberry syrup to provide a sweeter fruit counterpart to the sour beer, or a woodruff syrup which is an herb grown in Germany. The woodruff syrup is more woodsy, but takes advantage of the natural sweetness of woodruff. Finally, the Belgian Wit…Pierre Celis, who recently passed away in his late eighties, is credited with reviving this style at a number of breweries both in Belgium and the United States. But most people think of this beer as just a nice unfiltered wheat beer with a little orange peel and coriander. In reality, according to legendary beer author, Randy Mosher…well let him tell you in his own words. “Pierre Celis was pretty generous with details about his beer, but I understand he had a locked room in the brewery in Texas where only he had the key, and he did some sort of lactic fermentation in there. It’s a minor detail, but it’s an important part of the overall flavor profile of those white beers to have a kind of a bright, palate-cleansing acidity that helps balance the creamy, milk-shaky texture.” Well there you have it, a not so brief primer on sour beers. One final thought, we spoke earlier of hoppy beers and the bitterness that has pushed the boundaries for the past ten years or so and the trend towards other flavors, like sour. Well the best example that I know of that blends these two concepts is a beer from New Belgium Brewing called Le Terroir. This is a traditionally brewed sour ale right up to the point where they dry hop it (adding hops during the fermentation process) giving it a flavor like no other beer you have had before. I think I might even have one lurking in my beer cellar… and I deserve something special for finishing this article. Until next time… Cheers!

moody album, full of delights throughout, and if it doesn’t make Mayfield a star, that too will be heartbreaking.” Moreover, SPIN magazine included Mayfield in their March feature “The Next Big Things: 11 Artists You Must Hear in 2011,” calling her a “smart-ass country-rock ingénue.” In celebration of the record, Mayfield had major stops on her tour throughout 2011, including an appearance at the 2011 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival as well as a newly announced series of special shows with The Avett Brothers. Mayfield recently appeared at the 2011 SXSW Music Conference & Festival, performing at numerous events, including parties for fashion designer Billy Reid & American Songwriter, Rolling Stone, KCRW, KEXP, and KUT. Of her
official festival showcase, SPIN praised, “With her 45-minute set at St. David’s, this 21-yearold singer-songwriter from Kent, Ohio, proved she has what it takes to be your favorite new artist ... she’s tweaked tender countryrock ballads into a universally irresistible medium.” A 10-song live EP recorded at the festival, iTunes Live: SXSW, is now available exclusively at the iTunes store.

“Take a walk through Central Parc” It is always nice to be able to go to a higher end restaurant (without being too pretentious) and enjoy what they have to offer. Parc Central restaurant in Scottsdale Quarter has a progressive American style cuisine menu that is worth your while without thinning out your wallet during their happy hour. Monday-Friday between the hours of 3-7 offers half off their first offerings, specialty cocktails, and hand-crafted martinis. I went in and indulged on the black truffle hummus and the Prince Edward steamed mussels for under $11. As for a beverage; I recommend the Lola, which is a traditional margarita with a red wine float for just under five dollars. The service is amazing and you will come back for more. 15323 N. Scottsdale Rd Suite E-195 Scottsdale, AZ 85254
“Time to Relax” There are some awesome deals out there, but Postino Wine café always delivers. $5 glasses of wine and pitchers of beer and you can’t pass on their infamous $20 deal for a bottle of wine and tray of bruschetta. When you combine locally baked breads and delicious toppings, you can’t go wrong. The warm artichoke heart bruschetta is simply mouth watering along with their many other selections. The atmosphere is urban and warm; a great place to go on a date! They have a pretty small parking lot but offer valet service for only three dollars or complimentary everyday from 11-5pm. Happy hour is Sunday-Monday until 5pm. 3939 E. Cambell Ave. Phoenix, AZ 85018
“Add a little spice in your life” Let your hair down and have a little fun! Dos Gringos is a really fun Mexican cantina with awesome specials. Life size jenga, connect four, bean bags and pool? I am sure you can find something to entertain yourself. Monday-Friday 4-7 they have $5 food items, $2.50 coronas (11-7 everyday), $1 happy shots and $5 margaritas! Every time I go there it is so easy to make friends; everyone just wants to have an awesome time! Don’t miss out on Taco Tuesdays either. 1958 S. Greenfield Rd. Mesa, AZ 85206

* July 16, 2004: Martha Stewart is sentenced to five months in prison (and five months of house arrest) for a stock sale. According to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Stewart avoided a loss of $45,673 by selling all 3,928 shares of her ImClone Systems stock on December 27, 2001, after receiving material, nonpublic information from Peter Bacanovic, who was Stewart’s broker at Merrill Lynch. Martha Helen Stewart (née Kostyra), is an American business magnate, media personality, author, and magazine publisher and founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. She has gained success through her intelligence, perseverance, simply put; her pure resolve to bring to fruition her visions. On the cover of the May 1995 issue, New York Magazine declared her as “the definitive American woman of our time”.
Although the media widely speculated that the situation would effectively be the end of her media empire, Stewart began a comeback campaign in 2005, with her company returning to profitability the following year.
The steady, rhythmic sound
Mark McGwire’s record-setting 70 home runs in the 1998 season traveled a total of 29,598 feet. Adam Sandler visited Penn State football practice to help better prepare him for his role in the film ‘Waterboy’
In the months that followed, Stewart drew heavy media scrutiny, including a Newsweek cover headlined “Martha’s Mess”. Notably on June 25, 2002, CBS anchor Jane Clayson grilled Stewart on the air about ImClone during her regular segment on The Early Show. Stewart continued chopping cabbage and famously quipped, “I just want to focus on my salad”.
While in confinement, she took a job and became an informal liaison between the administration and her fellow inmates. The People special, Scandals! That Rocked America stated “Some expected America’s goddess of domestic perfection to fall into terminal despair. Instead, with the drive that would make her a billionaire, Stewart took her lemon of a sentence and made lemonade. Heck, she made a lemon soufflé.”

Oriol Servia has always taken a cerebral approach to racing, and so far it has served him well as the 2011 IndyCar season heads into its second half. The 36-year-old Spaniard, at this writing fourth in points, is an avid reader of novels, devouring dozens in the course of a year. That habit also extends to his profession and the reports that his team, Newman/Haas Racing, produces before and after each race. He takes in every bit of technical data and strategy analysis contained within these 40- to 50-page volumes as if they were New York Times best-sellers. Of course, it helps that Servia holds a degree in mechanical engineering from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia. oriol Servia i imBerS Birthplace: Pals, Spain Birth Date: July 13, 1974

Checking in with
Tanner Foust
With all his commitments, rally-car driver Tanner Foust could arguably be considered the hardest-working man in show business. When he’s not competing in major events such as the X Games, which air for four days on ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC starting Thursday, July 28, he can be seen driving in rally competitions in the United States and Europe, hosting “Top Gear” on History, or doing stunt driving in such films as “The Dukes of Hazzard” and the upcoming “Red Dawn.” Oh, and he gives talks to children about the importance of following their dreams. That’s somewhat ironic, because the 38-year-old Californian had a much different career path mapped out in college: medicine. But while working toward his biology degree at the University of Colorado-Boulder, he went to work for an inventor of amusement rides, and “that’s where I got the whole entrepreneurial bug, the whole idea of doing whatever you want to do,” he says. After his employer moved to Florida, Foust missed the mountains, quit his job and went back to Colorado. “And literally from the airplane, as I was looking out the window thinking, ‘What the hell am I going to do now?’ ” he recalls, “I saw a racetrack. And so I drove my car to this racetrack. I was apparently standing too close. The guy who came and kicked me off the facility, I ended up getting a job with him as a volunteer in return for seat time in his race cars. And that’s how I got my license, and that’s how I did my first couple of races. “And then I started down a road of coaching people that I was racing against,” he says, “and that led to ice driving and coaching in Steamboat, Colo., at an icedriving school. And that kind of car-control practice on ice, I did that for eight years. That led straight into drifting and rally racing and a lot of the things I do now.” Birth date: June 13, 1973, in Northern California Home: Capistrano Beach, Calif. Competition highlights: Won gold in Rally Car competition at the 2007 and 2010 X Games and the gold in the ’10 Super Rally event; 2007 and 2008 champion in the Formula D Drift series; 2010 Gymkhana Grid gold medalist in the AWD division; holds the world record for the longest jump in a four-wheeled vehicle at 332 feet, set in May.
