“IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!” -Frank Sinatra Christmas
As the beautiful holiday season winds toward the New Year, remember to bless the less fortunate around you. We have the ability to make simple and kind gestures to any stranger - and in doing so honor the holy spirit of these precious times. Blessings to all the casts, crews and staff of all the wonderful shows and concerts this year. You bring us all such amazing joy during the holidays! Merry Christmas and a Happy New year! Shalom!
PHOENIX BOYS CHOIR Festival of Carols Phoenix Locations.
The Holiday season wouldn’t be complete without the magnificent sounds of the Phoe-nix Boys Choir. Georg Stangelberger and his artistic staff (it takes alot of folks to pull off such an enormous undertaking) keep coming up with creative and fun ways to celebrate this rich tradition of Carols from around the world. As I sat with eyes closed resting from a busy week, I was taken away with heavenly harmonies from another place and time -maybe a few thousand years ago - to that great awakening where all men can and will be joined by a great light, Veni Veni Emmanuel! All the worries and cares just seemed to disappear at that moment, as hope returned eternal again. But there was more to enjoy this special day from these heavenly choirs - as the Tour, Town, and Masters collectively stunned the loyal visitors with another 5 star performance, including Fum Fum Fum from Mexico; Still, Still, Still from Austria; Mi Y’Malel from Israel; the traditional version of the Holly and the Ivy; O Tannebaum from Germany; Minuit Chretians by Adolphe Adam, and the delightful and charming Twas the Night Before Christmas by Ken Darby,Arranged by Simeone, and staged to perfection by Rachel and Mark Stoddard. Oh what a joy that was spread throughout this festive crowd - that may last for another thousand years! Kudos to all the Members of the Phoenix Boys Choir! I can’t wait for the February concert.
A CAROL FOR TINY TIM at Fountain Hills Community Theatre.
There was more fun to be had during this holiday season as FHCT and their Youth The-atre presented A Carol for Tiny Tim. There’s no secret why they have received 27ariZONI nominations this last year – talent - pure and simple. This was an edgy produc-tion, similar to A Christmas Carol, with spirits and ghosts hanging around old London. Only this time, we find a selfish and self centered Tim(played by talented Nick Disney) not tiny any more, taking advantage of his old uncle Ebeneezer Scrooge (played kindly by Hank Cipolaro), who has turned out to be the pillar of generosity in the community. But as the fates would have it, old Jacob Marley (played by the wise old veteran Chuck Disney) must enlist the talents of the three spirits of Christmas past (a stunning gem- Summer Beckman), Christmas present (the commanding Alice Bice), and Christmas Future (the mysterious Katie Male) to light up young Tim’s world. All’s well that ends well as the mystery of Christmas moves Tim to mends his ways and turn to the service of others as his true meaning of life. A splendid time was had by all, and even some hot cider shared to warm the weary soul. Next up, The Producers, January 14th.
SPOOKY KOOL at The Lost Leaf in Phoenix.
There’s a great spot for jazz in downtown Phoenix you have to visit soon - THE LOST LEAF Gallery, in the historic 5th street and Roosevelt neighborhood of Phoenix. They have food and refreshments too - but this night belonged to the hot and creative SPOOKY KOOL jazz group. We’ll be hearing alot about Gabriel Bey and his original Spooky Kool groove music experience in the coming weeks. They are as hot as New Orleans on a summer night! You can check out more on their upcoming shows and plug in to the Arizona music and arts culture at AzCulture.com.

is the exciting story of women from co-dependent to independent, and from property of their husbands, to presidents of corporations. This show will have you literally dancing in the aisles.

Bet You Didn’t Know!
As the ‘buzz’ continues toward February 27, 2011 for the Oscars®, Meryl Streep has been nominated for the Academy Award® an as-tonishing 16 times more than any other actress and has won it twice! Katharine Hepburn received 12 nominations and won 4 Academy Awards!

Night Shyamalan’s suspense thriller of five people trapped in an elevator with the ‘Devil’ among them; the dance hit ‘Step Up 3’ for the first ever on Blu-ray 3D; the battle of the Cylons continues with ‘Caprica Season 1.5’; and the family drama ‘The Secret Life of the American Teenager: Volume Five’.

Silver Screen Scoop!By Joseph J. Airdo
French producer Lagardere Entertainment is financing a 12-episode television series based on the Jason Statham-led action flick franchise “The Transporter.” The pro-gram will likely premiere next November on one of the major U.S. Networks.
Meanwhile, EuropaCorp is looking into developing a television series based on the Liam Neeson-led thriller “Taken.” How-ever, serious work on the potential project will not begin until the film’s sequel starts shooting this spring.
Be among the first to get the latest ‘scoop’ from Joseph J. Airdo at Examiner.com
Reviewers Roundup: ‘Gulliver’s Travels’ The story of Gulliver and the little people gets a face-lift with 3D film technology and special effects as we’re presented this mod-ern day interpretation with Lemuel Gulliver (Jack Black) whose been a long time mail room employee and under false pretenses, takes an assignment as a travel writer to investigate the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, but instead during a storm his boat ends up on the island of Liliput, where he towers over its tiny fearful citizens.
The following quotes were pulled from reviews written by AZ Weekly’s Film! contributors to present readers with a wider perspective about this new release. Read Stan Robinson’s and Joseph J. Airdo’s full reviews exclusively online.
Stan Robinson (ScreenScene.org): “Holding with a firm rule of not offering an opinion for a movie unless I see it from ‘black to black’ (opening titles-closing credits), because of a technical problem for our screening with the ending not being viewed, I won’t offer a grade or review. Suffice it to say, I just have to know how it ended and will see it again for the ending. I’m intrigued enough by the cast of Jack Black, Emily Blunt, and Amanda Peet, are enough to want to see it again for the ending, which in itself gives it a passable grade!”
Randy Montgomery (AZ Weekly): “Stay-ing positive with the critique of Gulliver’s Travels, this review will be approached with the “glass if half full” mentality. Why would Billy Connolly, Emily Blunt and Chris O’Dowd waste their time with such nonsense? They must have owed Jack Black a favor. Why would someone fund such an idiotic movie? They must have received a surprise refund check from the IRS. Why would so much toilet humor be put into a family Christmas weekend release? Not sure. Let’s look at it this way; Gulliver’s Travels is one of the top five “least best” movies of the year and has a few memo-rable moments.” Grade: F
Reviewers’ Roundup: ‘Little Fockers’As both clans descend for a family birthday, Greg Focker’s (Ben Stiller) moonlighting job threatens to derail his hard-won posi-tion in Jack’s (Robert De Niro) “circle of trust.” (PG-13 – 98 minutes)
The following quotes were pulled from reviews written by AZ Weekly’s Film! contributors to present readers with a wider perspective about this new release. Read Stan Robinson’s and Jo-seph J. Hairdo’s full reviews exclusively online.
Joseph J. Airdo (Examiner.com): “Al-
though it is nice to see the story return to the simple roots of the fractured rela-tionship between Greg and Jack, it feels as though the screenwriters are taking advantage of our appreciation for these characters by not putting much effort into the plot. As your average disposal comedy, it works. But it never even approaches the quality expected from the ‘Fockers’ fran-chise.” Grade: C
Randy Montgomery (AZWeekly): “The Byrnes and Focker families are back for another installment of forced comedic moments spurred by visual and verbal misunderstandings. The entire cast is back as well including Ben Stiller, Robert DeNiro, Dustin Hoffman and Barbara Streisand. Each character is so uniquely irritating that you have a hard time liking any of them. This film delivers a few funny moments, but not enough to endure the remaining 98 minutes. If you have seen the trailer, you have seen “the best” it has to offer.

Reviewers’ Roundup: ‘Made in Dagenham’In 1968, more than 800 women at a British auto factory, led by Rita O’Grady (Sally Hawkins), walk off the job to protest sexual discrimination in pay in the workplace. Playing exclusively at Harkins Camelview 5. (R – 113 minutes)
The following quotes were pulled from reviews written by AZ Weekly’s Film! contributors to present readers with a wider perspective about this new release. Read Stan Robinson’s and Joseph J. Airdo’s full reviews exclusively online.
Stan Robinson (ScreenScene.org): “The look at the women’s movement for equal pay for our English counterpart in the movements of the 60’s world wide, and the power that big business, namely Ford Mo-tor Company in this instance, will exert to get their will, captured my imagination and my heart for the equality of women. ‘Made in Dagenham’ presents a ‘historical time portal’ view through Sally Hawkins’ char-acter, of a time in history that set in motion the mindset of the equality of the sexes in the workplaces of the world.” Grade: B
Joseph J. Airdo (Examiner.com): “Labor disputes are not exactly the most enthrall-ing events when you get right down to it - especially when they are portrayed on the silver screen. Yet, thanks to director Nigel Cole’s fetching portrayal of a revolutionary period in the world’s history and a stellar performance by Sally Hawkins, ‘Made in Dagenham’ manages to manufacture a mildly entertaining experience.” Grade: C
Reviewers Roundup: ‘Rabbit Hole’The lives of a happily married couple (Ni-cole Kidman & Aaron Eckhart) are turned upside down after their young son dies in an automobile accident in ‘Rabbit Hole’. As any parent knows, that’s an aspect we really hope we’re never faced with. Each deal with the loss in their own way, both inwardly and exteriorly affecting their lives as well as each of their friendships with life long friends and relatives, as they try to find the peace to continue living. (PG 13-91 minutes)
The following quotes were pulled from reviews written by AZ Weekly’s Film! contributors to present readers with a wider perspective about this new release. Read Stan Robinson’s full reviews exclusively online.
Randy Montgomery (AZ Weekly): “Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart play a strug-gling couple who are coping with the accidental death of their son in Rabbit Hole. While the script isn’t unique, the performances by Kidman and Eckhart are. Kidman has been nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. Disappoint-ingly, Eckhart wasn’t nominated, despite turning in the best performance of his career. (We’ll hope the Academy recognizes him). There are several heart breaking scenes as the couple tries to mend their marriage and deal with their loss. Also of note is a moving supporting role by Diane Wiest who has a scene with Kidman that brought a tear to my eye.” Grade: A
Stan Robinson (ScreenScene.org): “With a familiar theme of coping with the loss of a loved one, Nicole Kidman’s performance is the anchor that presents a soul stir-ring character that drags us ‘kicking and screaming’ against our emotional will to empathize with her loss. Nicole Kidman received my nomination for ‘Best Actress in a Leading Role.” My full nominations list is available at ScreenScene.org Grade: B+
Reviewers’ Roundup: ‘Summer Wars’A parallel world collides with Earth after Kenji – who also pretends he has a fiancée – solves a mathematical equation in this animated sci-fi romance. Playing exclusive-ly at Harkins Valley Art. (U – 114 minutes)
The following quotes were pulled from reviews written by AZ Weekly’s Film! contributors to present readers with a wider perspective about this new release. Read Stan Robinson’s and Joseph J. Airdo’s full reviews exclusively online.
Stan Robinson (ScreenScene.org): “In anime style animation, we have the view of living in our high-tech influenced world through the eyes of Kenji and his orbit of involvements, as lives are intertwined with reality! ‘Summer Wars’ with its light-hearted approach is entertainingly insightful with the underlying threat of how to resolve an encroachment on the ‘OZ’ internet community, with Kenji who’s completely innocent, as the primary world wide wanted ‘cyber criminal suspect’ being pursued for taking primary services linked to cities infra structure off line and disrupt-ing the order of ‘OZ’.” Grade: C+
Joseph J. Airdo (Examiner.com): “Al-though the genre is not for everyone, anime fans will relish in the dazzling visual hurricane that filmmaker Mamoru Hosoda has created with ‘Summer Wars.’ Perhaps most impressive is the mere idea of an in-tensely immersive Internet experience. Yet, there is no doubt that some of the scenes set in the real-world offer a surprisingly
strong sentimentality.” Grade: C
Reviewers Roundup: ‘True Grit’Coen brothers Ethan and Noel present their vision of the 1969 western classic story of 14-year-old farm girl Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld) who sets out with extreme determination to track down her father’s murder by hired hand Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin). To help, she hires the toughest U.S. marshal she can find, a man with “True Grit,” Reuben J. “Rooster” Cogburn (Jeff Bridges). Joined by Texas Ranger La-Boeuf (Matt Damon), who wants Chaney for reasons of his own, the trio find danger and surprises on the journey, while each has his and her “grit” tested to the limits during the arduous, grueling undertaking. (Rated PG-110 minutes)
The following quotes were pulled from reviews written by AZ Weekly’s Film! contributors to present readers with a wider perspective about this new release. Read Stan Robinson’s full reviews exclusively online.
Randy Montgomery (AZ Weekly): West-erns are always fun to watch since so few of them are released by studios today. The Coen Brother’s latest, True Grit is quite possibly my favorite of theirs so far and is a fresh retelling of the John Wayne classic of the same name. In the film, a young
girl played by Hailee Steinfeld enlists the help of Matt Damon and Jeff Bridges to hunt for the killer of her father. Steinfeld deserves an Oscar. Surprisingly snubbed by the Golden Globes, True Grit is one of the best-written, funny and entertaining films of 2010. Did the Hollywood Foreign Press not see True Grit?” Grade: A+
Stan Robinson (ScreenScene.org): “Hav-ing worked my 22 years of film production back east on city streets type shooting, westerns have always been a ‘guilty plea-sure’ for me as a viewer! The finer nuances of the west including the English language pronunciations and cadence of speech, along with the wonder and yes, the harsh-ness of the lifestyle, ‘True Grit’ presented by the Coen brothers is high on my must see list. An extraordinary performance by young actress Hailee Steinfeld, who holds her on with veterans Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, and Josh Brolin, is my Best Sup-porting Actress nominee!” My full nomina-tions list is available at ScreenScene.org Grade: A-

Pick Your Produce! by Chef Rachel Albert, The Healthy Cooking Coach
Is organic produce more nutri-tious? That depends on when and where you get it. Out-of-season organic pro-duce from a convention-
al or natural foods supermarket may have little chemical contamination, but it may not be more nutritious than conventional produce. Here’s why:
As detailed in The Garden of Eating: A Produce-Dominated Diet & Cookbook, farms raising mass market organic produce often use high nitrogen fertil-izers to accelerate growth, so fruits and veggies reach marketable size without having time to absorb miner-als or synthesize nutrients to maxi-mum possible levels. Mass-market farms often use hybrids selected for productivity, external appearance, and durability in transcontinental transportation, not taste or nutrition-al value. Lastly, imported produce is often picked before it has ripened and reached maximum nutritional value, then shipped 1500 miles before it reaches consumers.
Fresh produce can lose 50 percent of
its carotene (pro-vitamin A) and 60 percent of its vitamin C within 3 days of harvest. Within a week, these nu-trients can be completely lost. Rarely is produce in your mouth within a day of harvest when the nutritional value is greatest (assuming it was allowed to ripen fully).
The solution? Whenever possible pick produce from local growers. Locally and organically grown produce is the best choice. If this isn’t available or affordable, choose locally grown non-organic produce from small farmers who typically use fewer chemicals than large mono-crop farms that pro-duce produce only for transcontinen-tal shipment and supermarket sales.
As a bonus, locally grown organic pro-duce often costs less than imported varieties and many people find that it lasts longer because it’s fresher.
Where do you find local food? Visit local farmers markets where you’ll find an enticing array of vine-ripened fresh fruits and veggies, raw honey, locally grown eggs, and hand-made goodies prepared by people in your community.

HUNGRY? COME DINE AT SCOTTSDALE'S MOST HIDDEN SOUTHWESTERN GEM!
Town & Country Bound by Chef Rachel Albert
This mid-week farmers market located in central Phoenix in the Town & Country Plaza (2021 E Camelback Rd) Wednesday morn-ings from 9 am to 2 pm, attracts a loyal following.
If you’re new to the valley, you might be expecting the fanfare of a West Coast or Midwest farmer’s market. When I moved to the val-ley seven years ago, I was excited to hear about this farmers’ mar-ket. However, I failed to find it the first few times I searched for it. I was looking for rows of produce vendors in the middle of the park-ing lot. I saw signs but I didn’t know where they were pointing. Turns out the sellers were sta-tioned at tables in the covered walkway in front of the shops on the Trader Joe’s side of the plaza.
While this market lacks the size of some city’s markets, the two main produce vendors, former pharmacist, Bob McClendon of McClendon’s Select and former Nurse, Jana Anderson of Pinnacle Gardens, offer appetizing deals on fresh, mostly locally grown, or-ganic fruits and vegetables. You’ll find heirloom varieties and price tags that are usually lower than what you’d find in stores.
Pinnacle Gardens also offers a subscription based co-op buying club and weekly coupons for those who subscribe to her e-mail-based newsletter. Visit www.PhoenixPin-nacleFarms.com for more details.
You’ll also find locally made hum-mus, tamales, hand-made soaps, lotions, herb-infused body oils, liniments, salt scrubs, and lip balms, Italian entrees, wild Alas-kan salmon, 100% grassfed beef, freshly baked bread, avocado oil, salad dressings, pickles, fruit pre-
serves, chutneys, and crafts.

ALL HAIL THE ALE
We are going to work on finishing up the Ale styles over the next two weeks and then look at lagers. Some-where in there we will work in some things like cider and maybe even mead. So let’s get started.
Scottish Ale - Scottish Ales origi-nated in Scotland and are generally clean and malty with perhaps a faint touch of smoke and few fruity esters. Most examples have a low hop profile due to the historical fact that hops are not grown in Scotland and expensive imported hops were, therefore, used sparingly. Some examples also have a peaty character which is typically per-ceived as earthy, smoky or very lightly roasted. Typically this ale is clear, deep amber or dark copper in appear-ance, although the stronger versions can be dark brown in color. Scot-tish Ales are divided into sub-styles differentiated on alcoholic strength ranging from a low of 2.5% to around 10% ABV. This style also includes the more heavy duty Scotch Ale.
Smoked Ale - Not to be confused with their smoked German style counterparts - the rauchbiers - or the Scottish ales, smoked ales are a class of ales (of theoretically any other
substyle) that is smoked to achieve smoky aromas and flavors. Porters are the most common base style and vari-ous sources (e.g. peat, oak, maple, alder, mesquite, beechwood, and fruit woods) can be used to obtain the smoky properties of a smoked ale (the malt ingredients are smoked prior to brewing). Regardless of the base style, the smoking should seek to enhance and not overpower the base beer. Generally, the smoked flavors are less prominent in smoked ales than those found in rauchbiers.
Spiced Ale - The spiced ale category captures any ale (or lager) containing spices, herbs, flowers, or vegetables that does not better fit another exist-ing style that is traditionally made with spices (ie. a Belgian Wit brewed with coriander is properly classi-fied under Witbier). The additives can include any spice, herb, flower, or vegetable and is only limited by the imagination of the brewer. Beers brewed only with fermentable addi-tives/adjuncts (like honey or molasses but no spices, herbs, flowers, or veg-etables) are normally not categorized as spiced ales. The ideal examples from this style typically do not include extreme or overpowering quantities of the spices, herbs, or vegetables, but rather complementary and sup-porting levels that add creativity or help to enhance the base beer style. Pumpkin, Winter specialty, Gruit, Heather, Spruce, and Chili are some examples of spiced ale substyles that have gained notoriety within craft brewing.
Stouts- Dry Stout - Dry stouts (often referred to as Irish Stouts) are ma-hogany brown to black in appearance and normally feature a generous tan to brown head with excellent reten-tion. The aromas and flavors normally consist of roasted barley, coffee, caramel, chocolate, and sometimes astringent and / or acidic qualities. As their name suggests, the finish is typi-
fied by a bitter dryness that comple-ments the underlying creaminess of the body. The bitterness, dryness, and acidity should never dominate to the point of removing the smooth quality of these beers.
Stouts - Foreign / Extra Stout - For-eign stouts were originally brewed as export products for tropical islands. They are usually based on a dry stout or sweet stout foundation with an extra level of maltiness and higher alcohol levels. They fall short of an imperial stout in both alcohol level and hopping (both less with hops playing a minor role at most). Beyond the basic caramel and roasted malt flavors, the interpretations can vary a bit. Frequently, extra stouts start malty and finish with a dry bitterness, although either sweetness or bitter-ness can overall characterize these beers. These beers have medium to full-bodied mouthfeel (sometimes with some acidity) and are dark brown
to black in appearance.
Stouts - Imperial Stout - As with most “imperial” beers, the imperial stout is “boss” of the stout world, emphasizing more maltiness, more alcohol, and often more hops than its non-imperial peers. The style origi-nated in England as an export product to the Baltic States, where the Russian Imperial Court purportedly
enjoyed these products. This style has intense flavors including those typical of any stout (but magnified and more complex), as well as dark fruitiness (prunes, plums, and raisins). Some of the more popular imperial stouts of today include a hoppy balance in the finish.
Stouts - Stout - Stouts that do not fit any of the subcategories (especially “American” varieties that are highly

hopped but not strong enough in alcohol content to be imperial stouts) are classified under the catch-all “stout” style and vary significantly in roast and hop character.
Stouts - Sweet Stout - The sweet stout category includes both “milk”(or “cream”) and “oatmeal” stouts. They are thus named be-cause they are brewed with lactose or oatmeal to increase their sweetness and complexity. Both tend to have roasted grain and coffee aromas and flavors, and the milk stouts often include chocolate malts in their profile. Their color is typically dark brown to black along with a rich tan to brown creamy head. While both are malty stouts, the milk stouts tend to be sweeter than oat-meal stouts, as they normally contain more unfermented sugars. The body of any sweet stout is rich, full, smooth, and sometimes silky.
Strong Ale - The strong ale category includes ales of essentially any style with higher alcohol levels (generally at least 7%) than what is common for that style. The amount of alcohol can be quite high in a strong ale (over 20% in some cases). The category is essentially a catch-all category and incorporates multiple base styles into the group, except for those styles that explicitly have their own strong (often “imperial” or “double”) category. The target of strong ales should not be overpowering and harsh flavors, but instead an enhanced overall quality from the additional alcohol.
There’s your style wrap up for this week. A lot of bigger stronger beers, next week we take a look at Wheat beers, ciders and more before attack-ing lagers after the New Year.

GIVE THE GIFT OF BEER!
Last minute Christmas shopping? Having trouble with a couple of stocking stuffers? No worries, give the gift of beer. How about turning your friends and family on to some great craft beer? The best way to do that is pick up a couple of singles and drop one in their stocking. Or get a six-pack and divide it up, or create mix and match six-packs for several friends.
There are plenty of great places to get these bottles. Of course, Papago, Tops and Sun Devil immediately come to mind. But there is Magnum’s in North Phoenix, and BevMo and Total Wine always have a great selec-tion. You can also start finding great beer in some of the grocery stores. Whole Foods in Chandler has always had a great selection, but check out the other Whole Foods as well; and don’t forget Sprouts. If you haven’t checked out Sunflower lately, make a point of getting there real soon. They have just re-done their beer sections and it looks better than ever. AJ’s Fine Foods is always a great source of good beer.
You can even start finding a larger selection of craft beer in certain stores of the larger chains. Look for great beer to start showing up in several Safeways and Bashas as well as those Albertson’s stores that have been car-rying good beer for a while.
There you have it, a not so compre-hensive look at places to get the gift of beer for this holiday season. Go ahead, turn somebody on to craft beer…and get something for yourself while you’re at it.

PERFECTLY ALIGNED AT WARNER AND MCQUEEN: THE NEW CHIROPRACTIC KING Exceptional Service and an Unwavering Commitment to the Chiropractic Profes-sion Has Earned Tri Chiropractic and Fam-ily Care the Right to be Called King
As far as New Year Resolutions are concerned, it’s really very simple. You adjust your schedule – and they’ll adjust you. In terms of Chiropractic Care here in Arizona, the friendly, unique and particu-larly talented team at Tri Chiropractic Family Care have proven themselves to be a true gem and blessing to us all. With a brand New Year just around the corner, the team of friendly and dedicated professionals at Tri Chiropractic Family Care are eager and ready to go above and beyond in meeting all of your chiropractic needs. If there was ever a truly perfect resolution, a healthy back, body, mind and spirit should be at the very top of your list.
Spinal alignments are crucial for one to achieve maximum physical comfort and a true sense of well-being in life. Putting you back together again - and keeping you there through dedicated, professional maintenance is what the experienced and highly-trained team at Tri Chiropractic are known for. After an always friendly and welcomed arrival, different therapy stations, strategies and techniques are utilized during your visit, along with deep tissue massage therapy, helping you achieve a maximum state of readiness and relaxation before your fine-tuned and proven effective adjustments are given.
Scott Carpenter D.C. is well-respected in his field and leads the talented team of Tri Chiropractic professionals, each of whom truly cares for the progress and sincere well-being of each and every patient. Raised in South Dakota, Scott holds a Doctor of Chiropractic Degree from Northwestern Chiropractic Col-lege in Bloomington, Minnesota. He has successfully treated thousands of pa-tients with a variety of conditions ranging from complex injuries and neurological conditions to everyday aches and pains. He carefully evaluates each patient’s extensive history, physical, neurologi-cal, and chiropractic exams to create an individual care plan that is specific to each patient’s individual health concerns. This type of approach ensures that each patient gets precisely what they need.
Tri Chiropractic is well-equipped with state-of-the-art rehabilitation systems
as well as several massage therapy rooms, giving patients a spacious and comfortable visit each and every time. Scott and his team utilize a combination of many different therapies including mas-sage, exercise, muscle stimulation and stretching. Their approach is particu-larly unique in that the majority of their patients take advantage of professional massage therapy sessions alongside their chiropractic adjustment. Combining these two synergistic therapies greatly acceler-ates the body’s natural healing process while boosting overall health and body function.
The office is also suited for all ages, as spinal adjustments are extremely effective and ideal in taking pressure off the ner-vous system. This process can drastically improve flexibility and posture as well as sports performance and resistance to disease.
In short, Tri Chiropractic’s primary concern is to assist each and every patient in their pursuit of health, happiness and increased overall sense of well-being. Dr. Scott and his team have truly earned the right to be called king due in part to their exceptional service and unwavering com-mitment to the chiropractic profession.
This New Year, go with a resolution that will truly help you achieve a healthy, balanced and pain-free lifestyle. Be sure to take advantage of the unique and individually focused care the experienced and professionally-trained team at Tri Chiropractic brings to Arizonans here in the Valley of the Sun.
Conveniently located in Gilbert on the NE corner of Warner and McQueen, Tri Chiropractic offers extended business hours and is open five days a week to ac-commodate the busiest schedules of the world we live in today. Call a member of their friendly staff today to schedule your visit at (480) 632-6632. Visit www.tri-chiropractic.com for more information.

Naughty or Nice Pub Crawl In West-gate Citycenter Dec 23The age old Christmas question is upon us; were you naughty or nice this year? Don’t lie, after all I think it stops counting after age 8, instead show it off costume style. Sporting your naughty or nice Xmas costume gets you an invitation to the 1st ever Santa Crawl at Citycenter. Drink your night away bar to bar with awesome drink specials while sharing traumatizing stories of when you found out Santa was your dad...or mom. The first 1000 party-goers to vis-it each bar will even get a commemora-tive gift- it IS the holiday season. Make some new friends hopping from Calico Jack’s Cantina, to Hell’s Half Acre, Mar-garitaville, McFadden’s, Saddle Ranch, The Shout! House and Tuscan Oven. www.westgatecitycenter.com
Mazelpalooza at the Valley Ho Hotel Dec 25th The Young Jewish Phoenix organization apparently knows how to throw one hell of a party; if 700 people showed up for the last one it’s got to be good. This year we have once again hit the holiday season and the festivities that accompany it. Mazelpalooza is back for another spin of the dreidel- after a good buzz that is. Expect to see party people of all origin at this shindig, who may be sneaking away from the rela-tives to rock out to top 40 hits and to take advantage of the drink specials. To fill the night with even more holiday cheer, you should know that proceeds from the event will benefit the Jew-ish Federation’s Annual Campaign for Jewish Needs. Do not forget that a good time can lead to jail time so let’s all get a discounted room at the Valley Ho and continue the celebration without the DUI. 8pm-2am. Tickets are $30 at the door.
Christmas Dinner Tastes Better OutNot all of us can be with our families this Holiday Season or quite honestly we may just not want to be. And then again who says you have to stay home, after all it is a celebration and nothing
says “good time” like a delicious meal prepared for you not by you. This is why I would like to point out a few afford-able classy Christmas dinner options.
Blue Sage at JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort is offering a Christmas dinner buffet from 4pm-9pm. Dishes in-clude herb-roasted turkey with smoked apple sausage stuffing, baked ham, and grilled Atlantic salmon with mustard glaze. $22 per adult. 480.293.3988
Lon’s at the Hermosa invites you for a multi-course dinner from 4pm-8pm. Be ready for roasted turkey, lamb loin, ancho chili beef tenderloin and prawns. Desert features Chestnut pudding cake and carmel pecan pie. $65 per adult a children’s menu is also available. 602-955-7878
Rico’s American Grill at Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort is offering a Christ-mas Buffet, 11 a.m.-5p.m. Selections include everything from a brunch menu to dinner entries such as Imported & Domestic Carving Stations with Roast, Prime Rib of Beef & Brown Sugar-Glazed Country Ham, Pan-Seared Salmon, and Shaved Turkey. Candied Garnet Yams, Honey-Chipotle Glazed Baby Carrots, Cakes & Tortes. Adults $39, Seniors $30, Children $20. 602-997-5850

Coldplay Quick to Isolate Themselves in Studio Coldplay sometimes forgets there are actually “other people in the world” when they are doing their thing in the studio. The ‘Viva La Vida’ rockers have spent much of the last year working on their fifth album, and said they have to make sure they don’t get too absorbed in themselves and their recording process. Singer Chris Martin recently stated: “Sometimes you can get very insti-tutionalized in the studio. You can for-get you’re going to have to play this for other people. That’s when music can get a bit silly.” Guitarist Jonny Buckland added: “You can forget that there are actually other people in the world.” The album is being made by the band which also features bassist Guy Ber-ryman and drummer Will Champion - alongside two producers, Brian Eno
and Markus Dravs. Chris and Jonny explained how they fulfil very differ-ent roles in working with the band. “Brian is very much the sower of seeds, ideas, experimenting and liberating,” said Chris. “Markus’ job is to come in after all that has been done and sculpt it into some kind of releasable format. They’re very much like a tag team and we’re very lucky to have them.” Jonny added: “At the moment we’re working with Marcus on the sculpture bit.” Coldplay’s as-yet-untitled fifth album is set to be released next year.
Ne-Yo Eager to Reunite ‘Girls Aloud’ Ne-Yo wants to reunite Girls Aloud. The ‘Beautiful Monster’ hitmaker is keen to write songs for the girl band - consisting of Cheryl Cole, Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding, Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts - even though they haven’t worked together for over a year, because he wants them to put their differences behind them and get back together. He recently stated: “It’s Christmas, time for putting whatever dramas you have behind and making sweet music. I’m a huge fan of curvy Kimberley Walsh and I’d love to do something with them all. “Let’s make some hits, girls. Give me a call. I’m always up for making music, it’s something we’ve talked about.” Girls Aloud last performed together in September 2009, supporting Cold-play at London’s Wembley Stadium,
but the girls have since soured as they have all worked on different projects. While Cheryl, Kimberley, Nicola and Sarah are said to still be close friends, they are currently not in contact with Nadine and it was recently revealed they had hadn’t spoken to her in over a year. However, all members have insisted they will get back together, but just don’t know when.

BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW
In 1972, LED ZEPPELIN was forced to cancel a concert in Singapore when officials wouldn’t let them off the plane because of their long hair.
Even though BARRY MANILOW wrote many of his chart makers, he did not write three of his most popular hits. “Mandy” was written by Scott English and Richard Kerr, “Looks Like We Made It”, was penned by Will Jennings and Richard Kerr, and “I Write The Songs” was composed by Bruce Johnston of The Beach Boys.
The harmonica that JOHN LENNON used to record The Beatles “Love Me Do” was one that he shoplifted from a store in Arnhem, Holland.
