Anyone familiar with Tempe knows that around St. Patrick’s Day Flogging Molly blows Tempe Beach Park away with their fantastic Irish drinking music. Sadly, this will be the last year of their Green 17 Tour, so we expect everyone to give a little extra when dancing to that groovy accordion beat. And speaking of groovy beats, we have some pretty cool musicians in this issue. We chatted with southern rockers Kings of Leon (P. 38) and local boys gone wild Miniature Tigers (P. 39).

If there’s one thing we love here at College Times, it’s a drinking holiday. What could be better than dressing up, getting drunk and having your shenanigans excused by everyone around you that also happens to be wasted? I might not be Irish, but I am all about high-fiving gingers and other pasty people who may or may not be Irish. Pretty much all I want to do on St. Patrick’s Day is drink tasty Irish beers and whiskey and pass out high-fives to everyone who crosses my path. That is about as crazy as I get. But if you require more excitement from your beloved St. Paddy’s Day, you have come to the right place. We (aka Christina Caldwell) can help you straight up win St.

Student Life >>> The Charm of the Irish: Arizona Colleen pageant crowns local queen of the Celts

Extracurricular Peculiarities Courtesy ASU Derby Devils

Claire Cleveland • College Times The Rose of Tralee is not a beauty pageant. We repeat, not a beauty pageant. While Holly Nordquist, Arizona’s 2013 Colleen, is gorgeous, she wasn’t graded on anything other than her personality, she says. The Rose of Tralee is not a “competition, it’s definitely not a pageant, it’s a celebration of Irish heritage, but unfortunately only one girl is crowned,” says the 2013 Arizona Rose title holder. “The main difference between the Rose of Tralee and a beauty pageant is personality. They don’t want any rehearsed answers, they don’t want to hear ‘world peace,’ they don’t ask political questions.” Watched by over a million people in Ireland, the Rose of Tralee is a huge entertainment event that crowns the Queen Rose, who will tour the world as an Irish spokesperson. While Nordquist was not named Queen of Tralee in the end, she was given the opportunity to head to Ireland and compete. A $1,000 scholarship and a trip to Ireland were just some of the perks. “I learned a lot about American culture. Americans are extremely competitive in absolutely everything and the Irish just aren’t,” Nordquist says. Ireland isn’t the only place Nordquist has visited. She also did charity work in Rwanda and Burundi, helping orphaned children learn English, and helped provide food and clothing for them. “It’s hard to not sound cliché, but it was very eye opening, it really made me appreciate the little things in life,” she says. While performing charity abroad may seem like the typical quality of a soonto-be Miss America, the Rose of Tralee

Arizona Colleen 2013 Holly Nordquist

celebration doesn’t pick girls based on a list of qualifications like “will spread world peace with a smile.” Instead, Nordquist was selected because of her Irish heritage (Her great, great grandfather came from County Mayo), her ability to be genuine in front of a large audience, talent-based entertainment and interviews. We know it may sound a little cheesy, but Nordquist is not a typical gal. She enjoys turbo kickboxing, running, singing, waterskiing, and did we mention she will be attending Second City improv classes in Chicago after she graduates from Grand Canyon University with a bachelor’s in nursing this May? It might be an odd track for someone with a medical field degree, but she but realized that she loves theatre and sitcom comedy too much to risk losing her chance to perform because of a busy work schedule. “I took the scary route, and I will probably be a starving artist,” she says. “But it is what I truly love.” In the next few years, Nordquist will be maintaining her video blog, studying improv, and “probably working as a waitress,” but she aspires to one day be a sitcom actress in a show like “Modern Family.” For St. Patrick’s Day, there is more to look forward too than green beer and four leaf clovers. The St. Patrick’s Day Parade & Faire in Downtown Phoenix will have an appearance from Nordquist and the to-berevealed 2014 Arizona Colleen. The March 15 Faire begins at 10 a.m. and admission is $10.

Derby Devils, ASU’s Roller Derby team Jorge Salazar • College Times Is your idea of fun is gliding around a roller rink and knocking people down like human bowling pins? Well, it is for ASU student Alisa Lee. “I’ve been playing roller derby for two years now,” she says. “I saw a flyer for one of the teams in the community, checked it out and immediately fell in love with it.” Since then, Lee has gone on to found one of the first collegiate teams in the country: ASU’s very own Derby Devils. And while a high-speed contact sport may not be everybody’s cup of tea, Lee hopes you won’t knock it before you try it. “Our practices are open for them to come see and check out,” she says. “They don’t have to jump in right away. They can check out our practices to see if roller derby is for them.” College Times: When were the Derby Devils founded? Lee: We formed a student organization in the middle of last semester. We actually started out as a roller derby interest group. After we formed, we were like “why don’t we just become a roller derby team?” College roller derby is very new, so we formed one of the first college roller derby teams. And that’s why, at the beginning of this semester, we started our weekly practices. What do you think is the draw to roller derby? There is hitting, but it’s not a full-on fight. There’s no punching and it’s only like hip checks. I think people are drawn to it because it is a contact sport. They’re able to

relieve some stress. It can be grueling. Some people just like to skate and some people do it for the hitting part. It’s also a sport that really lets you express yourself creatively. How did you get other students interested in roller derby? There are several roller derby leagues around the area. I asked around the leagues to see if there were any current ASU students that were a part of their leagues so that we could have a group of people that already knew how to play roller derby. After we formed the group, we started to go out to recruit people who had never played roller derby before. We started having tables outside the MU and putting up flyers, and we’ve been able to recruit new people. What kind of events are the Derby Devils involved in? Right now our weekly practices are about training for our bout that’s coming up. The first college roller derby bout will be on April 26 in Tucson. Also, a few of our experienced players will be participating in an exhibition match that’s going to bring in Sun Devils past and present. The main goal right now though is to prepare for our April bout. Who should join the ASU Derby Devils? It is a co-ed team, and we’re still trying to recruit guys. We currently have one. We welcome anybody, guys and girls. Practices are at the Student Recreation Center’s Mac gym every Saturday at 10 in the morning. I want to stress that we welcome people from any skating level too. It doesn’t matter if you don’t even know how to skate, we’ll teach you from the very beginning.

COLLEGE Kitchen:

Slim Summer Salads Warm Spinach Salad

Christina Caldwell • College Times We’re convinced someone in the College Times office is conspiring to make us fat. Mysteriously every Friday, doughnuts appear in the kitchen—dozens of them—tempting even the most physically fit of all of us. Each Friday, we’re forced to hover over a cardboard box and have a mini existential crisis. (“Can I afford to do this?”, “I heard frequent sugar consumption can reduce life spans.”, “It’s Friday. I DESERVE THIS!”) If tasty salads were as easy to grab as a doughnut, life would be a whole lot slimmer. With summer around the corner, odds are you want to get into shape for your Simple Caprese Salad swimmies. Make these salads ahead of time and make eating light easier throughout the week.

First, put a pot of water on the stovetop on high for the hardboiled eggs, then heat a pan to medium-high for the bacon. Boil eggs for 12 minutes and at the same time, cook 5 strips of bacon on both sides in the hot pan until brown. Keep that bacon grease! Take six cups of spinach and chop into bite-sized pieces and add to a large bowl. Once the eggs are done, de-shell and slice into slivers. Chop bacon into desired size and add to bowl. Finally, combine 3 tablespoons of bacon grease, 1/4 cup vinegar, a pinch of sugar and salt and pepper to taste in a pan and heat until boiling. Pour mixture over salad and mix until greens are slightly wilted and warm.

First, de-seed and chop tomatoes, green onions, green bell pepper and cilantro and add them into one big bowl. De-seed and mince two jalapeños and add to bowl. Drain and rinse 1 can black beans, 1 can corn and one 4 ounce jar pimentos, then add them to the bowl as well. Cut and juice one fresh lime into the mixture, then add 1/4 cup Italian dressing. Finally, finish with salt and pepper to taste and mix. Dish into a single serving bowl, then top with avocado bits. It’s super fresh, super light and surprisingly filling.

This Italian tradition looks fancy, but it takes all of five minutes to put together and is totally refreshing. First, slice 3 tomatoes (we used the ones still on the vine) and cut off a few slices of fresh mozzarella. Arrange the tomatoes and cheese one by one on the plate, then chop up 1/3 cup basil. Top the salad with basil, then sprinkle salt, pepper and balsamic vinegar to taste. Traditionally this recipe is topped with olive oil, but we skipped the excess calories and added a bit more flavor with the balsamic.

My First Time ... Courtesy Blue Man Group

Blue Man Group.

Selfie WINNER!

… seeing the Blue Man Group Lily Lieberman • College Times I knew it was going to be one helluva show when “please refrain from sexting” flashed in bold red letters across the jumbotron. The quirky collection of painted performers who call themselves the Blue Man Group hail from my home state of Kansas. Our similarities stop right there. The three founding members still participate in the theatrics that blow every other Vegas act out of the water, and they do it while painted in the most luminescent shade of blue imaginable. Attendees in the front of the audience were swathed in clear trash bags, kindly provided by the entertainers. The show was messy. Orange and yellow paint were flying in every direction and the audience was loving it. The Blue Men have a knack for creating a rock concert atmosphere with a comedic punch. To start off the evening, the group tossed marshmallows into each other’s mouths. Assuming characters right off the bat, Blue Man No. 1 caught each candy perfectly and spit it out with ease onto a plain white easel, revealing that it was actually a paint ball. The leader, Blue Man No. 2, tossed mallows into the mouth of Blue Man No. 3—the oddball that added an extra laugh or two. Not able to create fine works of art like his counterpart, No. 3 wowed the audience by catching up to ten marshmallows in his mouth at a time and ultimately spitting out the spit-covered contents into the purse of an unfortunate victim. As I later found out, my belly laughs

were just a warm-up for the rest of the show as three men performed on stage without ever uttering a word. Audience member participation was crucial to the act, and at times it seemed like some of the participants asked to come on stage were planted before the show began. Nonetheless, the chosen ones acted their part. At one point, a man in an expensive-looking button down and slacks was secured from a harness upside down and used as a human paintbrush. A crew backstage covered him in paint and swung him Tarzan-style at the canvas. He got to keep the art. The amazing part was not the weird musical component of drumming on PVC pipes or even the giant iPads that descended from the ceiling at one point; it was the fact that they never broke character. When three people walked into the show late, a spotlight followed them all the way to their seats and a fake camera crew blasted their images across the big screen. “You’re Late,” a mechanical voice chanted over the loudspeakers. But the Blue Men kept their cool and waited for the last wheezing giggles to subside before continuing. The end of the show transformed the arena into an EDM party with giant color-changing orbs thrown out into the audience by the group. It was what I imagined the inside of a lava lamp to feel like—loud in all senses of the word. A standing ovation and an encore concluded this visually stunning and outlandishly funny performance.

My In-FUR-iating Struggle

It’s official: the Beardageddon has arrived. It’s here to stay. And I, for one, am not here for any of it. It’s almost impossible to walk into your favorite bar without spotting Jorge Salazar one. What used to be an offshoot hipster trend has seemingly become an epidemic overnight. Everyone and their skinny jean-wearing posse is sporting the male equivalent of extensions: chin fur. Okay, I’ll admit that Movember (mustache + November) is actually a great charity movement that has been raising awareness of men’s health issues, like prostate cancer, for almost a decade. And we’ve all known at least one stereotypical burnout who never put any stock in their personal hygiene and let their neck beasts run free. Nevertheless, beards have transitioned

from being the staple style of the perpetually unkempt and an excuse to not shave during the winter to an actual mainstream trend. Even the bathed and beautiful have embraced the furry fad that comes in all shapes and sizes (from clean and cropped to gross and Duck Dynastyed). I’m not going to lie, I can totally see the positive side of sporting a beard. For many, it’s a breath of fresh air after years of the overly groomed metro look. For others, it adds an air of maturity and wisdom. It’s safe to say that it probably keeps your face warm in the cold and it even allows the ugly among us to hide their shame behind a curtain of hair. So why do I hate beards? I could pretend it’s my concern for the declining razor industry, which reported a drop in sales over the last year. I could also pretend it’s my inner social justice warrior being upset over society imposing the growth of facial hair as a standard for masculinity. Don’t even get me started on the fact that this hairy obsession has resulted in another useless cosmetic procedure: the beard transplant.

STREET TEAM SHOT

Cassandra Alvarez, an ASU graduate student, spotted the College Times Street Team limo at Tempe’s ASU campus! Imagine chillin’ out, maxin’, relaxin’ all cool in this baby. Keep your eyes open for this bad boy. One day you may get to ride in it.

Yes, you read that correctly. People are actually paying thousands of dollars to get hair plugs on their face. Unfortunately, it all boils down to my own personal shame. I must confess that I simply cannot grow a full beard. While my sideburns can grow to Wolverine levels of hairiness, trying to form a connected beard results in me looking like a Furby with a case of alopecia. And if by some

miracle I was able to grow a full one, I can only imagine I would look like one of those dwarves in the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. So until I can experience the joy of feeling a soft breeze ruffle my own whiskers, I will keep hating. I know jealousy isn’t pretty, but chances are, neither is your beard. —Jorge Salazar, College Times

charity, education and safety. We love being the small ‘mom and pop shop’! We feel it gives us that little extra special relationship with our customers,” Wise says. The ammunition used in airsoft is small plastic pellets. Because they are not meant to break upon impact with your body, they don’t need to fly at a high velocity. Wise says players will feel the bb when it impacts, but it will not be enough to puncture the skin or leave a mark if they are dressed appropriately, which means loose fitting jeans and a jacket. Basic games include Capture the Flag, President, Team Deathmatch, Juggernaut, Zombie, and plenty more. Wise says the games are always evolving and new styles are being introduced often. The rules change based on the recommendations of the players and the ref that is running the session General session plays are Tuesday through Sunday every week and PeeWee sessions for players are on Tuesdays. They also host birthday parties, team builders, fundraisers, tactical training, school teams, youth/church outings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, monthly overnight events, summer camps, specialty themed events, charity and manufacturer appreciation days, weekly pistol tournaments and more.

BUSINESS >>> Pedal Bike Shop owner Brad LeVan with his daughter at Kiwanis Park.

Bike shop helps customers find safe bike routes in PHX Ana Anguiano • College Times One of the first things Pedal Bike Shop owner Brad LeVan does when he’s helping out-of-town customers rent bicycles is hand them a copy of a map. But it’s not just any map. The Maricopa Association of Governments has put together a free map of bike ways in the metropolitan Phoenix area. Bike lanes, bike routes, paved shoulders, multi-use paths (both paved and unpaved), and recreational trails are all clearly mapped out. LeVan says a lot of novice bikers might not know just how much of Phoenix is easily accessible by bicycling and how many safe routes there are in the city. “Some people need to see the map to know they can go further than just to the park and back, especially with how hard parking is now and traffic is just getting worse,” LeVan says. LeVan says he loves biking in Kiwanis Park in Tempe. An avid road and mountain biker, LeVan chooses safer paths now so that he can bring his 15-month-old daughter along for rides. He packs her in his bike buggy, along with water and snacks, and takes her for a spin. “People see a lot of road cyclists riding on regular roads and I think they think of it as just that. They get annoyed with people riding on the road and think they would have to get into traffic if they were riding as well,” he says. But for those not comfortable with road biking, LeVan’s goal is to help

people find a bike lane or route near them to stay out of traffic. A quick reroute can mean all the difference when it comes to safety. Having grown up in Arizona, LeVan knows all about using the canals, which make for excellent riding paths. Now living in Tempe, LeVan loves riding on the Western Canal. Most of them are paved and lit at night, but those unfamiliar with the city might not even know they exist. Safety is also important no matter where you ride. LeVan suggests riders have a flat repair kit just in case. LeVan is also a big fan of Silent Sundays at South Mountain Park, where every fourth Sunday of the month they close the roads to motorized vehicles for cyclists and others to enjoy. “You can ride all the way up to the TV towers and then come back down. It’s a little bit of a harder ride but I’ve seen older people out there on regular comfort bikes. As long as you gear down you can make it up, and then coming down is really fun,” he says. LeVan says his shop will start doing group rides in April for road cycling, but he encourages customers looking for group rides to come in and ask.

A DUI can mean big bucks and a permanent stigma Jorge Salazar • College Times Chances are that when you’re getting ready to party hard as the weekend approaches, the last thing on your mind is ending your Friday night with a pair of handcuffs across your wrists. It was just the beginning of last semester that the Tempe Police Department’s “Operation Safe and Sober” task force ended a three-weekend run with over 1,700 alcohol related arrests, of which 367 were DUIs. If history and statistics are any indication, every time you go out and decide to prove yourself the beer pong champion before driving home, you’re putting yourself at risk of being slapped with a DUI. Being convicted of a DUI brings a much bigger headache than a single night at the drunk tank and a mug shot that can be easily found online. The legal and social consequences of a night of reckless fun can lead to a hangover that lasts far longer than the next morning. Navigating the harsh realities of your post-arrest life is a daunting task. Enter Joe Saienni, an attorney at Saienni Law in Phoenix, who specializes in DUIs. Saienni and his team provide council and support for those arrested to ensure the best possible outcome in such a harrowing situation. While the legal limit is an alcohol concentration of .08 percent, you can still be found guilty of drunk driving even if you fall under that amount. And if we’re going to be real, you probably had more than four drinks (the approximate standard for said limit) while partaking in a night of debauchery. Regardless of how many or how few shots you slammed back, the odds are already against you. Saienni and his team

believe that, prior to even speaking with you, law enforcement agents have made up their mind by the time they sound their sirens. “If you are pulled over and you have been consuming alcohol,” Saienni writes on his website. “The officer has most likely already decided to arrest you and charge you with DUI.” Saienni says that everything law enforcement asks and does is designed to gather evidence of your guilt. If you’re unlucky to face your first DUI arrest, you will be jailed for no less than 10 days and face at least $1,250 in fees. Per the Arizona Department of Transportation, you will also be required to undergo alcohol education classes and to equip your car with an ignition interlock device you must purchase. (Your wallet will commit seppuku at this point.) Aside from possibly being locked up and draining your bank account, being arrested for a DUI can affect current and future employment opportunities. Your first offense will remain on record for at least seven years and is likely to pop up in a background check. While it is important to be respectful and provide the officer with the appropriate type of documentation when being stopped, Saienni advises against accepting field sobriety tests and the portable breath tester. According to Saienni, it is impossible to pass field sobriety tests and the potable tester has a decent margin of error. Nevertheless, if asked to blow into an Intoxilyzer machine at the station, make sure you do, as you can get your license suspended for a year if you refuse. Saienni Law, 11811 N. Tatum Boulevard, Suite 3053, Phoenix, 602.953.5550, saiennilaw.com

Nix the neutrals: Undoing open house decor to make a new home your own When selling a house, the mantra for most is neutral, neutral, neutral. To help potential new owners envision themselves moving in, real estate experts remind sellers to de-personalize their homes. That means removing family photos and mementos and replacing favorite color schemes with more vanilla shades and hues. So as a new homeowner, how do you begin to de-neutralize your new house to make it your new home?

Color your world It’s a pretty safe bet that as the previous homeowners were preparing to sell, they went through the house and repainted with shades of beige or gray. While nice for an open house, these colors can be a little impersonal. It’s also likely the homeowners didn’t invest in the highest quality paint, saving that money for their new home. Therefore, one of the best ways to make your mark is by giving rooms a fresh coat of paint. Choose colors that reflect your personality and style, and don’t be afraid to select bolder hues. Darker, more vibrant colors work well, especially for accent walls or rooms that could use some drama, like your guest bath. Spend the money on a premium paint to ensure you see excellent hide (the paint’s ability to conceal the color under it) and coverage (how far you can paint with a gallon).

Treat your windows well When it comes to the floors, most real estate agents advise their clients to replace carpeting before the house goes on the market, particularly if it’s worn or on the

more colorful side. As a result, you can hold off on the expense of putting in new carpet and instead look at window treatments. Once you paint, the blinds, curtains or cornice boards that were part of the open house staging efforts may not fit in with your decor. Consider the function you need from window treatments. Do you need to create privacy as well as style? Is blocking light essential, like in a bedroom, or would sheer drapes be an option? Will the treatments be used in a child’s room, making cordless blinds important? Examining the function will help you determine the type of window treatment to select. Once you decide what type of window treatment is best suited for a particular room and window, you can begin to look at fabrics and colors that complement your paint choice and provide your new home with a fine finishing touch.

Bring in your belongings During the open house, you used your imagination to picture where your family heirlooms and prized possessions would be placed. Now, it’s time to turn that picture into a reality. Collect your photos, mirrors, artwork and other objects. Then look around your new house to create a blueprint of what to hang or place, and where. Sticky notes provide an easy method for remembering where items will reside. To create your desired look, you may need to replace photo matting or frames to match or contrast with new paint colors. You’ll also want to look at room features, like fireplaces or angled walls and ceilings, and position objects to highlight them, rather than hide them.

Chelsea Handler.

Chelsea Handler can party harder than any of you college chicks Lily Lieberman • College Times Time to break out those shots of vodka. No, this isn’t a frat rager. It’s time for the ultimate late 30’s party girl to grace us with her presence. Yes, that’s right. The queen of clear alcohols is coming to the Valley, and it’s bound to get Absolut-ley raunchy. (Get it? No? Maybe you need to drink more vodka, yo.) When Chelsea Handler woke up in South Africa on her latest booze-infused adventure, her only complaint was that the “length and width of the pillow [she] was resting on had the same dimensions of a panty liner.” This excerpt from Handler’s new book “Uganda Be Kidding Me” is only a tiny fraction of the comedic gems you’ll find in the comic’s fifth novel, which debuted March 4. On safari in Africa, Handler takes readers on a wild ride of sexual tension, blush-worthy quotes and knee-slapping good fun. Outrageous scenarios ensue, like the time she wore a bathrobe into the African Bush because her clothes seemed to have shrunk from the heat (or her impressive drinking habit). She also shoots out epic answers to your most burning travel questions. What are the three must-haves for traveling? “A compass, skis and a shotgun,” of course. A hilarious read and a survival guide,

“Uganda” is a novel where you have to expect the unexpected. It seems like just yesterday we were hiding under the covers—flask in hand— reading “Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea.” Ah, how the time flies when you’re intoxicated. Chandler will grace Phoenix with her sarcastic presence Saturday, March 22 when she stops at Comerica Theatre, where she’ll likely tell other risqué stories of celebrity and of course, alcohol. Chandler has become a raunchy sensation in the comedy world, taking over late-night television with her talk show, “Chelsea Lately.” A-list celebrities appear on-the-regular. She also skewers the news with the help of comic guest panelists and the adorable assistant, Chuy. Her television work includes “Girls Behaving Badly” and “My Wife and Kids.” At times, her sage advice is almost too much to handle as she relates the two kinds of people she doesn’t trust: “People who don’t drink and people who collect stickers.” Her wisdom can be rough to swallow, especially in her new book. Handler suggests taking it as a shot. Chelsea Handler: Uganda Be Kidding Me Live, Comerica Theatre, 400 W.

St. Patrick’s Day festivities throughout the Phoenix area

Claire Cleveland • College Times As a child, St. Patrick’s Day was fun because you could pinch your friends for a reason, rather than just being that annoying touchy kid. Wait, that was just us? Well, we’re adults now and we plan to celebrate will hearty food, green drinks galore, and the luck of Irish. But after a few rounds... maybe a little pinchy pinchy. Cheers! St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Faire, Bagpipers, Irish Step Dancers, floats and dignitaries will all be at the Arizona St. Patrick’s Day Parade, but will you?

Tempe Community Market brings fresh approach to weekends Claire Cleveland • College Times Whether you’re a Monsanto hater or a local supporter, there’s a new weekend farmer’s market in town for you. The Tempe Community Market is a fresh new approach to sell locally grown, fresh, succulent fruits and veggies every Sunday in 2014. The market boasts 30+ vendors, a community exchange and a book exchange. Hey, that means it’s good for your mind, body and soul! The market, which made its debut on March 2, will celebrate its official grand opening on March 23 with a full-blown celebration with live music from Randy Olsen & Friends, a ribbon-cutting ceremony and children’s entertainment and activities, perfect for a day of entertaining those nieces and nephews. The market features not only fresh, locally grown produce, but honey, preserves, baked goods, artisan crafts and more. Created by the Tempe Community Action Agency (TCAA), a charity that combats homelessness and poverty in the Tempe area and beyond, the Tempe Community Market aims to expand access to healthy food and grow economic development for the community, says market manager Cindy Gentry. A health focus allows the community to come together. People who have might not have previously had exposure to locallygrown produce can form an appreciation of local produce. Giving small farmers a fighting chance in the Valley, a onetime agricultural oasis, is of special interest to Gentry. Vendors are offered a unique opportunity to sell surplus produce on a combined table. Some families are even making a living wage off of their surplus growth, Gentry says. A farmer’s market in the middle of the

desert may sound like an oxymoron, but Arizona was once home to many different fruit and vegetable farms. The TCM is bringing that mentality back by asking the community to enjoy its produce and products, many of which are exclusive to the greater Phoenix area. These exclusive products are healthy, too, but not in the way we typically think. TCM skips the bland, boring and tasteless. Instead, the market features AZ Pops real fruit popsicles, chocolate, sweet honey, and even baked goods. Yes, that even means delicious carb-and-gluten-filled breads and pastries. The Shrimp Viche Man, a local authentic southwestern shrimp cocktail vendor, marinates their ceviche in the local brews of Four Peaks. However, there is more to health than just the ingredients, Gentry says. Health also involves growth for the community and local involvement. All of the growers must grow their own produce to be eligible to sell in the market. The artisan crafts, preserves and baked goods must also all be created by the sellers locally. By helping to spur local agricultural economy, the market is also helping to educate the community to make better decisions around food. Tempe Community Market Grand Opening Event, 620 N.

Christina Caldwell • College Times You should take a cue from my friend Ben this St. Patrick’s Day. Ben (name changed to protect the notso-innocent) is a legend. He once broke into the Hayden Flour Mill pre-renovation, where he allegedly found a crow pinned to the ground as part of some weird pagan ritual. He jumped off the Tempe Town Lake Bridge and lived to tell about it. He also accidentally slipped off a third-story balcony at a The Quadrangles apartment complex while attempting to scale the stucco like Batman. He broke 12 ribs. Ben is an idiot, but you can’t fault the man for a lack of good ideas. Especially when it comes to partying. Last St. Patrick’s Day, we headed down to the Flogging Molly show at Tempe Beach Park. We arrived dressed in green, but didn’t have any of the essential items— hats, beads, pins, wigs—to be fully decked out. Ben snuck in one flask full of whiskey. We returned with enough St. Patrick’s Day swag to last us the next decade. Here’s exactly how to mooch merch from drunken strangers, courtesy of Ben.

Step 1: Have a full flask of whiskey on your person

It doesn’t even have to be good whiskey. Where ever you wind up, most people are going to be drunk, so the age and mouth feel of the whiskey can pretty much be

MARCH 13 - MARCH 26, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

tossed out the window. Did it come in a plastic bottle? Does it send shivers down your spine? Do you question if it’s actual whiskey, or just a strange whiskeyflavored malt liquor? Well, you’ve found Ben’s brand of choice. Fill that flask to the brim.

Step 2: Find a huge, decked-out crowd

You’re probably not going to find a higher concentration of festive drunk people than Tempe Beach Park’s final Flogging Molly concert this year, but Mill Avenue and Downtown Phoenix might have some other decent options.

Step 3: Be charismatic

Make people like you. If you have a problem with this, you might have a problem with the rest of this game. You’ll need to be persuasive, so load up on the liquid courage if it helps you talk to strangers.

Step 4: Forget stranger danger

If you want their stuff, you need to get to know them first. Be friendly but not creepy. They should open their body language to you. Once they’ve done this, they’re practically putty in your hands.

Step 5: Offer a swig of whiskey for their stuff

Seriously, no one is going to be attached

to that “Kiss me, I’m Irish” pin. And that’s totally worth giving up for a swig of whiskey. Some people will say no, but those people don’t know how to party. If someone offers up their pin, take that pin, thank the stranger and GTFO.

Step 6: Trade up

With your whiskey and your first trade, you’re invincible. Continue collecting items in exchange for swigs, or exchange the merchandise you collect for even better stuff.

Step 7: Wear everything at once

Once your flask is empty, the game is pretty much over. Give some of your swag to friends and wear everything at the same time. Watch as strangers marvel at your festiveness and feel good knowing all you had to do was con strangers out of their belongings.

Craft beer is good beer!

How to fake being a beer snob Ana Anguiano • College Times

goodness you crave.

When it comes to picking your poison, some folks will drink whatever is handed to them. Others have a much more elitist philosophy as to what they will casually sip on. While alcohol snobbery might be best associated with whiskey and wine, a new wave of enthusiastic and passionate beer drinkers have learned to scoff and roll their eyes just as well. Craft beer has been exploding all over the country with hundreds of new breweries all trying to top one another in originality and variety. Brewing is considered an art and source of pride to many. So if you want to impress your fellow beer drinkers, we can teach you how to fake it ‘til you make it.

-When pressed for your favorite style of beer, blow everyone away by boldly stating your love for Belgian sours or stouts aged in bourbon barrels. The older the better, in fact!

What to do -First, you have to reject all non-craft beers. Bud Light, Miller and Coors are all out of the question. Depending on the beer snob, PBR can be consumed ironically but only when pressed. -Much like wine, there is a sensory tasting method with beer. You can swirl a beer around to observe the legs it leaves on the glass and the color of the beer is important. The smell gives plenty of insight as to how the beer was brewed as well. -Much like wine, beer gets swished around before swallowed for more of the aromatics to get detected. -If you really want to go for it and be the snobbiest of all beer snobs, refer to yourself proudly as a hop head and claim only to enjoy IPA’s with bold flavors. Laugh at those who can’t handle the bitter, malty

What not to do -Don’t bother complimenting beers on their subtle ingredients. Most beers tell you their ingredients and how it should taste. Instead, comment on the thin or heavy mouth feel and the finish after you swallow.

Your Lawyer, Delivered. Personal Injury - DUI - Criminal Defense

-Don’t ignore the ABV. You also have to care about ABV, or alcohol by volume. While light beers hover around 3 to 5 percent ABV, Dogfish Head: 120 Minute IPA, for example, is closer to 20 percent. Less drinkable beers can easily go much, much higher. -Do not accept just any glass for your beer. You should care about glassware. Certain beers belong in certain types of glasses and you should demand bartenders know the difference. sm

-Don’t drink any craft beer on tap. Find a place that serves specialty or very limited small kegs. -Don’t hype a beer on the other side of the country when you have excellent brews closer to home. Undoubtedly the best craft beers are made right here in the good old US of A so you can throw plenty of patriotism in with your snobbery, but if your home state is as excellent as Arizona, you have to rep it.

A Barkbox. Bow wow!

There’s a subscription box for everything ...but are they worth it? We break ‘em down. Lily Lieberman • College Times Navigating through the hundreds of well established and emerging subscription boxes is an exhausting task. Subscription boxes cater to man, woman and feline, and let you try a variety of products at a way-cheap price. Spend more time skimming Buzzfeed and less time stressing over which box is right for you with this nifty guide to the best of the business.

Birchbox—$10 The pitch: The original subscription box sends a monthly gift of luxe samples from brands they love and emerging gems. Founded in 2010, this site is the pioneer of its kind, bringing you everything from skincare to makeup every month. Birchbox sources trusted brands like Benefit and up-and-comers like INIKA and Wall People. Worth it? Sometimes. Customers report inaccuracies in the products they receive and oftentimes the sample size is good for only one use.

Birchbox Man—$20 The pitch: Men can now indulge in the pleasures of Birchbox with their very own subscription. For that special someone that loves products or needs some grooming lessons, the men’s box delivers

top-tier grooming products and lifestyle accessories ranging from shaving gear to fun gadgets. Ladies, Birchbox Man is really a gift for you—he smells fantastic and you get to try out all the products. #Winning (Can we use that one ironically yet?) Worth it? Looks like Birchbox pays more attention to its male customers. They get way better deals and a cool lifestyle component in every package.

Pretty much a box of awesome for your pooch, BarkBox pampers your pet to the max with discounts and notable customer service.

treatment every month. BestFriend Box curates gourmet, all-natural cat treats, spa-quality grooming supplies and scented catnip toys. $30 may seem a bit steep for three-to-six products a month, but the look on your pet’s face when the mailman arrives is priceless. Worth it? Leaving my our bias for pups at the door, this box is for extreme cat lovers only. I mean how many catnip infused items can your kitty handle? Try the code BFB21 to get a 20% discount

Try the World—$45 The pitch: Tour the planet with this unique box that highlights a different country every two months. Gourmet food and cultural finds from places like Paris, Rio and Tokyo are delivered right to your door. The company launched with Paris, a collection of all-natural nougat, jams, salted butter caramels and other delicacies made by family-owned companies, so look forward to the same special treatment with each city. Worth it? The price is steep but these are items you won’t be able to find at Safeway. If you have the cash, skip the box and take a trip to Rio.

BestFriend Box—$30

Sample Society—$15

The pitch: Cat lovers rejoice. Dogs aren’t the only furry BFFs to get special

The pitch: Backed by the editors of Allure, this box has a ton of beauty cred.

Bespoke Post—$55 The pitch: Bespoke Post promises “simply remarkable” finds in every box for your favorite hipster and/or fashion-forward male. Pick from boxes like “Shelter,” which includes old-school water-fighting gear, or “Café,” which packs brewing essentials with the best teas and coffees on the market. “Suiting Up” takes your look up a notch with a chambray bowtie and bold cufflinks. Worth it? Totally. Each month, choose from their limited-edition boxes filled with unique products. Didn’t see a box you like? Skip a month and you won’t be charged.

Your inadequacies are rewarded with abundant gifts that cater directly to the college soul, like T-shirts, socks, snack food, razors, gum and more. Expect the essentials, plus a little something extra with no effort from the rents—except offering up their wallet. Worth it? Nah. Just call mom and ask her to send you some TLC. They eat that stuff up.

Ana Anguiano • College Times It is truly the end of an era. The Green 17 Tour, headlined by Flogging Molly, is celebrating its 10th anniversary and sadly, it will be the last. The decade-long pilgrimage to Tempe Beach Park on St. Patrick’s Day to see the Celtic rockers and others perform is a special part of life here in the Valley. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of attending, you know that it is truly an event that elevates St. Patrick’s Day from a day of drinking to a day of full-blown debauchery. And according to Flogging Molly accordionist Matt Hensley, the feeling is mutual. “[Tempe] is always a fun show for us. Yeah, it is St. Patty’s, but usually that’s our last show after being on the road for like six or eight weeks. Not only is it the highlight of the tour, but we get to relax and just have a good time,” Hensley says. “Not that we’re not doing that anyways, it just seems everyone is in the headspace of ‘I’m going to have an extra shot tonight.’” Hensley was in the middle of touring sold out shows in the chilly Midwest when he recalled one of his favorite moments playing in Tempe. He says it was about two years ago when he got the opportunity to showcase his

skateboarding skills on stage. “The whole tour, Dennis (Casey) would be rocking out on his guitar during his solo and he started throwing his guitar around. He started literally just throwing it across the stage and scraping it against the ground,” Hensley says. “I had seen him do it the whole tour so that night I was a little f*cked up and said, ‘If you really want to wreck your guitar, I will skate that thing right now.’ And I did. I took his guitar and ran with it on the ground and then stood on it and shot across the whole damn stage. It was pretty sweet. We got it on film,” he says. Hensley says the crew thought it was quite funny, but the guitar tech didn’t take too kindly to guitar stomping and skating. And while all nights don’t get so incredibly crazy, Hensley says he always enjoys himself. “You have to try really hard not to have a good time on this holiday,” he

says. It’s time to buckle down and give the rest of the world what they want—not just Tempe. After the tour, Flogging Molly plans on getting back together to work on a new album, a follow up to 2011’s Speed of Darkness. The band hopes it will be out by next year, but until then, they will have plenty of fun. “Everyday we’re playing for a new audience that may or may not have seen us. In the back of my mind I tell myself that. Every single person that has come to see this band perform, I want to make sure they get their money’s worth. I want them to have a good time. It’s what we do,” he says. Flogging Molly w/Ozomatli, Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers, The Drowning Men, Tempe Beach Park, March 17, 4:30 p.m., $25-$40

Flogging Molly’s Green 17 Tour going out with a bang

Despite living across the globe, The Used is more together than ever Christina Fuoco-Karasinski • College Times Despite its name, The Used’s new album “Imaginary Enemy” reflects a new spring in the veteran rockers’ steps. The Utah-bred collective is in a new phase of its life. Singer Bert McCracken moved his family to Australia, while bassist Jeph Howard relocated to Panama. Meanwhile, guitarist Quinn Allman married “American Idol” veteran Megan Joy in August 2011. “I think there’s a lot more of a message of hope and unity and kind of an overarching humanitarian vibe throughout the whole record,” Allman says. “It’s about peace and it’s really about just finding the truth. It’s just really upbeat and positive record.” Allman calls the album “conceptual,” but was vague on the actual idea, wanting to leave the translation up to individual listeners. The Used will be touring through Tempe on its co-headlining tour with Taking Back Sunday on Tuesday, March 18, playing the Marquee. The show is approximately two weeks before the April 1 release of “Imaginary Enemy,” its sixth full-length album. Its new single “Cry” hit No. 1 on Sirius XM Faction and is also in heavy rotation on Sirius XM’s Octane channel. Allman says the co-headlining tour with TBS and The Used is the perfect pairing. Both are working with the same label, Hopeless Records, and they rose through the rock ranks at the same time. “Imaginary Enemy” brought out the best in the band because The Used’s musicians were relaxed with their new life situations. “When you’re under less stress, we’re able to receive the genius, the creativity and the follow,” he says. “It’s all-in-all a good thing, being together and working on the songs. It was hard finding the time because we’re strewn about. But there’s more of a message than there is a feeling to the album.” The Used w/Taking Back Sunday, Tonight Alive and Sleepwave, Marquee Theatre, 730 N. Mill Avenue, Tempe, 480.829.0607, luckymanonline.com, Tuesday, March 18, 7 p.m., sold out

Concert Calendar

Kings of Leon and the days of yore Ana Anguiano • College Times Kings of Leon have been active for over a decade, but looking back their transformation into the band they are today is pretty drastic. Known for constantly working and touring to the point of exhaustion, the Followill boys took plenty of time off before recording their newest album, Mechanical Bull, which sounds like the culmination of all their years of hard work. College Times got the chance to chat with all four members about their past, their present, and their grandpa Leon. College Times: Youth and Young Manhood came out 10 years ago, but how is it playing those songs and thinking about who you were then as opposed to who you are now releasing Mechanical Bull? Matthew Followill: I can barely even remember those times to be honest with you. Like if you asked me ‘How did we write that song?’, I probably wouldn’t really remember. Maybe I would. I remember some stuff. But you change musically, your style changes. I’m sure that you, maybe all you guys out there, don’t instantly like the same bands that you loved 10 years ago. Things change. Jared Followill: We were super, super young. That could have been our first and last album, and I don’t think it would have surprised any one of us. We really had no real direction. We were kind of just like doing what we thought was cool at that time and kind of imitating the bands that

we thought were cool. And it’s like, now we’ve grown up a little bit and we have a little bit more of an identity. Going into an album we know what we want to do and it’s not really kind of just [like] we’re free-throwing. And, you know, our heads were filled with marijuana. Matthew Followill: Medicinal marijuana. I was really sorry to hear about the loss of your grandfather, Leon. What he was like and what did you learn from him, being that he is your namesake? Nathan Followill: He was just a really great guy. I mean always had a funny joke to tell, always had a story that he tried to make you think was a real story and realize it’s a joke 30 minutes later. He was an amazing musician, a great guitar player and had a beautiful voice. When we went home for the funeral back to Oklahoma, an uncle gave me a CD that they had made of him singing like when he was like 21 years old, and it’s a whole, like 20-something songs of him singing and it’s great to be able to hold on to those memories. Like you said, his name will live on forever through our band. We’re just really thrilled that he was able to come to some shows and see us and get to tell us how proud he was of us. He will be sorely missed, but he’ll live on through the music. And yes, he was just, I don’t know. He was one of the good guys, for sure.

Miniature Tigers don’t need Phoenix anymore But love for the Valley is still in their hearts Lily Lieberman • College Times Oh, Miniature Tigers. Why did you leave us? Constantly evolving with each record they puts out, Miniature Tigers are a fan’s dream come true. The once Phoenix-based indie pop band has kept up a steady stream of popularity since its first album was released in 2008. Now residing in Brooklyn, we’re proud of these local-boys-gone-good. But we can’t help but think we’re missing out when each album just keeps topping the one previous. Their fourth record, Cruel Runnings, relies on front man Charlie Brand’s folksy vocals, nostalgic lyrics and a heavy dose of synth pop. Miniature Tigers returns to its roots when they play at The Rhythm Room Thursday, March 27. Brand spoke with the College Times about the new record and upcoming show. What can you tell us about Cruel Runnings? We recorded it in Jamaica with Chris Zane, who has also done the Walkmen and Passion Pit, so we spent a couple weeks out there recording and then did some more of it in New York too. I think it sounds very much like us. We found our voice on this record. How is this record different from the others? I think [on] the first record we were figuring stuff out still. We weren’t really working with a conscious goal in mind. And then the two records after that we just wanted to try something pretty different than the first record. So I think we’ve made a point to switch things up pretty dramatically each time.

How long did it take to record Cruel Runnings? We write our own songs. It takes a bit to record. I don’t think we sit down and write everything down in one big chunk, it’s over the course of a while. I think we starting writing this album in summer 2012 and then we recorded it last September. So it took about a year and half. Is there a theme to the album? It’s very clean sounding and lyrically it’s very direct. I just wanted to write some songs that could connect with people. I think musically it’s the most “us” sounding record. It has a bit of everything we’ve done so far but has a big difference too. What’s your favorite song on the album? I think my favorite right now is called “We Used to Be the Shit.” I think it turned out really well and I like the production on it. I like the lyrics, they’re kind of funny and it sort of represents the album. What can we expect to see and hear at the Rhythm Room on the 27th? We’re playing some new songs from the upcoming record but we’re playing a good amount of songs from all of the records. It’s a balanced mix of everything. And we’re from Phoenix originally so we always have pretty wacky shows there so I think it should be fun. The Rhythm Room, 1019 E.

Roman And Julie: A Tale Of Star Crossed Lovers

B Movie Special!

dubstep dance offs. It was after an impromptu chanting of the LMFAO gospel the pair passionately declared themselves soul mates to a Greek -illed shore, which voiced its opposition over the star crossed romance. ASU and U A were mortal enemies. “This is my future baby momma!” Roman slurred vociferously. “I challenge any bro that objects our union to a duel!” “This bro shall face that challenge!” shouted a voice in the crowd. It was Tyler, Julie’s ex, who rose from the throng of people. The crowd rushed toward the duel area, a beer pong table. It was a fierce battle, but Roman proved victorious by landing a shot in Tyler’s final cup and forcing the ex to drink his still-full cups. The couple’s victory was short lived as Tyler blacked out, resulting in an ambulance being called. The crowd quickly turned against the pair, blaming them for the death of their buzz. “You killed our buzz” the crowd chanted, forcing the lovers to leave the lake. Within an hour, what was the beginning of a promising love story turned into a tragedy with a downward spiral. They both stood at the edge of a cliff overlooking the lake, the distant throb of the music a reminder of where they were no longer accepted. “The tides have turned,” wept Julie. “My Facebook friends are un-liking my photos. I am no longer the fairest of them all!” Roman sighed as he turned to Julie, having seen his social media presence crumble before his very eyes. “We were not meant for this world,” he hiccupped, though he did not know if it was because of the tears or the beer. “If they can’t take us together, they can’t take us at all!” “You’re right,” whimpered Julie. “Goodbye, cruel world.” They deleted their Facebook profiles.

Locals Decker breaking out new material for McDowell Mountain Music Festival Ana Anguiano • College Times The McDowell Mountain Music Fest is celebrating its 11th year since they started bringing artists together for their non-profit music festival in 2004. This year, local bands will play alongside headliners STS9, Gramatik, Disco Biscuits, Slightly Stoopid, Dwight Yoakam and Ben Harper and Charlie Musselwhite. We caught up with Sedona’s decker. to check in with them before they head out on tour. Last year, the band released their album Slider and spent a better part of the year performing and touring. After a break over the holidays, they’re back and singing a different tune. “We are getting ready to record a small album, an EP, our fifth album—even though I had sworn them off for a few years after the last one. But we got these set of songs we’re really proud of and an opportunity I believe to work with a producer and a studio that we’re really excited about,” singer Brandon Decker says. “We’re getting ready to record and start off another year of touring.” The EP, titled Patsy, will be released this July. One song, “Cellars” has already been released. At just over nine minutes long, Decker says the song came easily to him but being so long, it posed a little bit of a challenge. “It’s a hard thing with a nine minute song because obviously it won’t be played on the radio, but for us it’s a really defining song. We’re really proud of the recording and what that song is to us,” he says. So instead, the band is working with director Trevvor Riley, whom they previously worked with on the video for their song “Shadow Days,” to create a short film for “Cellars.” “We wanted to something out of the box,”

Decker says. “We thought ‘Why don’t’ we just do something as epic as the song is?’” Decker is no stranger to powerful storylines when it comes to the visual side of their music. The band previously worked with Matty Steinkamp of Sundawg Media to create a two part story line for their music videos “Killing Me” and “Weight in Gold Pt. 2” that starts off as a tumultuous relationship and ends rather shockingly. Decker says the new album is a group of songs came together really quickly over the past two months, including one track called “ODB,” named lovingly for Decker’s favorite rapper Old Dirty Rapper. “I think one of the reasons I had sworn off doing a record is because of how maddening and all-consuming the process can be, but it’s all happening really organically with ease so I doesn’t feel like a process that’s going to make me crazy,” he says.

For Emblem3 and MKTO, touring together is one big brofest Christina Fuoco-Karasinski • College Times For the duo MKTO and “X Factor” favorites Emblem3, touring together has become a mutual love fest. “Anytime we get together, it’s a good time,” says Malcolm Kelley, one half of MKTO. “We did our first shows together at the Roxy (in Los Angeles). We had the pleasure of them bringing us on the first tour. It’s kind of like a reunion with all the guys. We’re about to have some fun.” The two groups have a lot in common, as both were born from television shows. Kelley and his musical partner Tony Oller met in 2010 while filming the Nickelodeon television series “Gigantic,” in which their characters played best friends. Emblem3 were fourthplace finishers on the American incarnation of “X Factor.” “We toured with MKTO before they were super awesome dudes,” says Keaton Stromberg, who is joined in Emblem3 by his brother Wesley, as well as friend Drew Chadwick. “We’re really, really excited to go out with them and tour with them.” The two acts, along with Jackson Guthy, perform at the Marquee Theatre on Friday, March 14. MKTO will perform songs in advance of the release of its self-titled album, while Emblem3 will play hits including “Chloe (You’re the One I Want)”. MKTO has already been released Down Under where it—and the single “Classic”— was an instant hit. Emblem3 released Nothing to Lose in 2013. Both are thrilled to be hitting the road. “It’s just cool to go to different places and places we haven’t been before,” Kelley says. “To see the clubs have people hear the music and sing along, and to win people over who don’t know your music is awesome.”

Kelley explains he looks forward to playing to fans that are unfamiliar with his music. “I like being the underdog and putting on a great show for the people,” he says. “It’s going to be pretty fun.” MKTO recently finished a promotional tour of Australia and New Zealand. Emblem3, however, wrapped up a stint opening for Selena Gomez. “She’s such a cool girl,” Stromberg says. “It’s crazy playing venues that were 7,000 to 15,000 every night.” But Emblem3 had the confidence to pull it off. It was self-assured since day one, playing an original track, “Sunset Boulevard,” as its audition track on “X Factor.” “We were all super confident with it,” Stromberg says about Emblem3’s music. “We always had the mindset going in that we wanted to stay ourselves and be ourselves and not really conform to what they wanted. It was daring—but definitely worth it.” It paid off. So did the chance that MKTO took with starting a band after “Gigantic.” Both bands are signed to Columbia Records and share a common musical thread—loving what they do. “Touring together definitely makes being on the road a lot easier,” Kelley says. “The music mixes well together, I think. The fans are amazing. It’s a great show. We’re glad to be a part of this tour with the guys. There’s a lot of screaming girls. You can expect some crazy stuff.” Emblem3 w/MKTO, Jackson Guthy, Marquee Theatre, 730 N. Mill Avenue, Tempe, 480.829.0607, luckymanonline. com, Friday, March 14, 7 p.m., $30

By Linda Thistle

Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each small nine-box square contains all of the numbers from one to nine.

The idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the figures given at the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram by following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given (that is, from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the numbers below the diagram to complete its blank squares and use each of the nine numbers only one.

Salome’s STARS ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although you tend to bore easily and leave others to finish what you start, this is one time when you’d be wise to complete things on your own. Then you can move on to something new.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A sudden change of mind by someone you relied on could cause a delay in moving ahead with your plans. But those whom you’ve helped out before are prepared to return the favor.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your indecision about a personal situation might come out of those mixed signals you’re getting. Best not to make any commitments until you have a better sense of how things are going.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You start the week feeling too shy to speak up in front of others. However, your self-assurance soon takes over, giving you the confidence you need to make yourself heard.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A dispute appears to be getting out of hand. But you should be able to step in and bring it all under control soon. Be patient. News about a potential career move might be delayed.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) One way to deal with a pesky personal dilemma this week is to meet it head-on. Insist on an explanation of why the situation reached this point and what can be done to change it.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Career obligations could interfere with important personal plans. But using a combination of common sense and compromise helps resolve the dilemma to everyone’s satisfaction.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The creative Capricorn finds several outlets for her or his talents this week. Also note that while a romantic connection looks promising, remember to allow it to develop on its own.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A stressful situation drains some of your energy reserves. But you soon bounce back in time to finish your tasks and enjoy a well-deserved weekend getaway.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You stand out this week as the best friend a friend can have. But be careful that you don’t take too many bows, or you might see gratitude replaced with resentment.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This is a good time to throw a party for friends and colleagues and surprise them with your dazzling domestic skills. You also might want to reconsider that career move you put on hold.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) What seems to be an ideal investment should be checked out thoroughly before you snap at the offer and find yourself hooked by an expensive scam.

Our Story is Your Story “You can have everything you want in life, if you will just help enough other people get what they want. ”—Zig Ziglar Seventeen years ago a guy with a dream—and not much else— walked out of the comforts of his job as an accountant to go and start a community publication in North Scottsdale. Having no sales or publishing experience whatsoever, he believed then, as he does now, that life is simply too short to spend it doing something uninspiring. Slowly, oh so slowly, the fledgling enterprise began to pull its little head above water, owed mostly to luck, great people and flat out tenacity. Today, this fledgling enterprise has grown into Times Media Group, its print and digital products serving audiences all over Arizona. This little company, once housed in a 160-square-foot executive suite office on Hayden and Raintree, has become...well, we won’t brag. Suffice it to say, it’s a bit bigger today, and we continue to adhere strictly to the true life principles that have guided us thus far. So, here’s the skinny: You can choose to advertise wherever you like, heck we try lots of things too! But whatever you do, make sure to at least see if Times Media Group can help your business. After all, we’re small business people too…and for that reason alone, we bring value to the table when helping to design your marketing campaign. If you like good ideas, straight-talk and measurable results, we’ve been waiting for your call.
