Remember Me
"All the different things I do come together to make a new 'hybrid' Béla'," Fleck says. "Everybody else in the group is doing the same things, collaborating with different people, and pursuing a wide variety of ideas, so when we come together and put all of our separate soups into one big stockpot it turns into a very diverse concoction."
Fleck first united the Flecktones in 1988, ostensibly for a single performance on PBS' Lonesome Pine Special. From the start, there was a special kinship between the four musicians, a bond forged in a mutual passion for creativity and artistic advancement. Three breakthrough albums and a whole lot of live dates followed before Levy decided to move on in late 1992.
"I wanted to do other things and there was no time to do anything else," he explains. "We were probably playing 150 shows a year at that time – maybe more - and it was just too much for me. I've never, before or since, done any one thing that much!"
Béla Fleck & the Flecktones persevered, playing as a trio and with many special guests, before saxophonist Jeff Coffin joined the ensemble. A succession of acclaimed albums and innumerable live performances continued to earn the band a fervent fan following around the world, not to mention five Grammy Awards in a range of categories.
Still, by 2008, the band had grown somewhat restive and embarked on a temporary hiatus. The seeds of change began with what Futureman calls the "paintbrushes of fate" as Coffin was invited to join Dave Matthews Band after the 2008 death of saxophonist LeRoi Moore. Fleck encouraged him to accept, believing the decision would rejuvenate both DMB and the Flecktones themselves.
"We were ready for something different to happen," he says. "We'd been in a kind of holding pattern. We had the same line-up for so many years that it was becoming 'normal', we were all drifting into outside things for new musical invigoration, and we were taking more and more time off between albums and tours."
Each member had been quite busy with a variety of successful projects – including: Bela's duet collaborations with Chick Corea, a trio with Zakir Hussain and Edgar Meyer (sometimes with the Detroit Symphony) and his expansive adventures in African music, documented in the acclaimed 2009 film and CD, Throw Down Your Heart. Victor's solo band tours, camps, recording sessions, clinics and CD releases (including an incredible collaborative project with Stanley Clarke and Marcus Miller called SMV, which yielded the album 'Thunder'), and Future Man's creation of his amazing Black Mozart project, and continued developement of new instruments.
Still, all agree that Flecktones music was beckoning them home. The band, which had always maintained a warm relationship with the gifted pianist/harmonica player, recruited Levy for a 2009 tour of the US and Europe, an experience he describes as "extremely invigorating and very energizing."
"It felt just like it did back when we first started playing together," says Wooten. "Just with a lot less hair."
Upon the tour's conclusion, the four musicians agreed to further explore the band's possibilities, sensing what Futureman calls, "an opportunity to revisit the original scene of the crime."
"There were a lot of unfinished aspects to this line-up of the band," Fleck notes, "in that it stopped right when we were peaking creatively." For Fleck, Levy's return enables the Flecktones to follow through on the original concept of a band "where each person was reinventing their instruments, where every one of us was a kind of mutant."
"There's a special thing that happens when the four of us get together and play," notes Levy. "We all have the same attitude of trying to do things that we haven't done before and coincidentally, no one else has either."
One thing was certain, however. The 'original' Flecktones were resolute that their reunion would not be rooted in nostalgia. The goal from the get-go was to drive the music forward to places where it might've progressed had things gone differently.
"I didn't want to just get together to play the old music," Fleck says. "That's not what the Flecktones are about. Everybody's full of life and ideas and creativity. I was intrigued by what we could do that we had never done before."
"Everybody's still advancing on their instruments," adds Futureman. "Everyone has grown over these 18 years, so it was an opportunity to realize some of what we were trying to do in the beginning."
In early 2010, Fleck and Levy first began working on new material, teaming up for collaborative writing sessions at Levy's home in Evanston, Illinois. Fleck was determined to establish a more inclusive environment as far as composition, to give Levy a greater stake in the writing process.
"We hashed out a whole bunch of ideas together," Levy says. "He would play things that he was working on, and I would go back into my memory banks and say, 'I have this incomplete fragment that might work well with the band,' or we would just improvise things together. It was inspiring, I think, for both of us."
Their compositional collaboration resulted in a remarkable suite comprised of "Joyful Spring" and "Life In Eleven." The former was originally conceived of by Levy while in his early 20s, while the idea for "Life In Eleven" had its genesis in the Flecktones' first incarnation. The band had long wanted to explore one of Levy's passions, the Bulgarian dance rhythm called Gankino or Krivo. "Almost 12," a piece Victor and Bela wrote after Howard left the band had earned the Flecktones a "Best Instrumental Composition" Grammy in 1998. Still, the goal of writing a Flecktone piece - with Howard - using the unusual 11/16 or 11/8 time signature was, to Fleck's mind, "unfinished business."
"When we got together, the 11 idea came back up and Howard came out with something very Bulgarian," he says. "I said, 'It's really great but it's really fast and jumpy and complex. What if, halfway through, we dropped into a gospel 11/4 feel that was so natural, that you didn't even notice it was in 11?' It was an idea I'd had in my mind for some time, a way of playing something in 11 that didn't confuse new 11 listeners, due to it's complexity"
Songwriting was, of course, not limited to Fleck and Levy. Futureman's solo composition "The Secret Drawer" serves as preamble to Levy's evocative "Sweet Pomegranates," and Wooten brought "Like Water", which Bela helped to complete, which stands as a majestic representation of his flowing, pianistic approach to the bass. For his part, Fleck composed a number of new pieces while also delving into his back pages for "Earthling Parade" and "Storm Warning," a track that had been a highlight of his live sets when touring with Stanley Clarke and Jean-Luc Ponty. Though he had not previously considered either composition for the Flecktones, the new line-up inspired him to give them a second look.
"Those pieces now seemed more intrigueing - with the original line-up," Fleck says. "Not that they hadn't been cool in other settings, but with Howard in the picture we could go quite deep into the complicated zone while still keeping them earthy and warm."
In September, the Flecktones met at Fleck's home studio in Nashville for the first of two rounds of sessions. Where the band had customarily road-tested new material, working out the kinks in live performance, this time they did not have that luxury.
"We were writing some of the more complex pieces as we were laying them down," Levy says. "But all of us have done so much recording outside of the group, where we're used to seeing compositions take shape in the studio, that we were all comfortable with the process."
"We had to be very aware," Fleck says, "because we were making final decisions almost from the start. But I think it yielded an improvised quality, an intensity, to the record. It was like, 'Let's make some good decisions and then commit to them.'"
In many ways, the album's sound centers on the return of Levy's piano and chromatically played diatonic harmonica, taking full advantage of the new melodic designs each brought to the Flecktones' sonic palette. Known as "The Man With Two Brains" for his uncanny ability to play both instruments simultaneously, Levy has built a remarkably diverse resume over the past twenty years, including solo and session work, membership in Trio Globo and Chévere de Chicago, collaborations with classical violinist Fox Fehling, and founding Balkan Samba Records and the online Howard Levy Harmonica School. The equally restless Fleck hails Levy as "an incendiary player" who by his very nature forces the band out of their comfort zone.
"When we play together, Victor, Futureman, and I all have to step up our game," Fleck says, "because Howard is going to throw something unexpected at us, which in certain ways, puts us in an uncomfortable zone, but due to that, we have to push through - into our higher selves."
While prior Flecktones collections have often featured inventive and innovative instrumentation, this time out the band opted to stick to the basics. Fleck plays an assortment of banjos, mostly vintage, though an electric Deering Crossfire can be heard on "Prickly Pear" and a prototype 10-string banjo is featured on "Joyful Spring." For his part, Wooten largely bypassed his famed assortment of bass effects, noting that the player is what truly matters.
"In my mind, the instrument is there to allow the musician to feel something and to express themselves," Wooten says. "The music doesn't come from the instrument, it comes from the musician. Whatever instrument allows you to express yourself the way you want to at that moment is the one you should play."
That said, Futureman took the occasion to unveil a new prototype Drumitar, his MIDI-based device that allows him to trigger samples using his fingers. A central element of the Flecktones sound, the first version of the notorious instrument was on its last legs after more than two decades. More significantly, new advances in technology allowed for the creation of a Drumitar more in line with the drummer's vision, featuring better dynamics and the ability to record his own spectrum of drum samples.
"Twenty years later, the fruit is really ripe," Futureman says. "There are things that I was trying to do back then but the sounds just weren't good enough. Now it's actually swinging the way I always wanted it to swing."
For many Flecktones fans, the return of the original line-up allows a chance to see a band that many had never gotten to witness before. Indeed, a certain segment of the band's base discovered them during the Jeff Coffin era and may not even be familiar with Levy's membership.
"There are people who don't remember the very beginning of the Flecktones," Futureman says. "It's like people that started watching Star Trek: The Next Generation and never got to meet Captain Kirk. So here we go, the original crew of the Enterprise coming together on a new mission."
Visionary and vibrant as anything in their already rich canon, Rocket Science feels more like a new beginning than simply the culmination of an early chapter. Where the band goes from here remains undetermined, but all four members agree that the promise of Béla Fleck & the Original Flecktones has yet to be fulfilled.
"We're going to have to have this experience together and see how everybody likes it," Fleck says. "I know that we haven't even come close to exhausting the possibilities with this record, but we sure went deeper than we ever had before."

The summer heat isn't awful. I mean, yeah, it's hot, but I'm in the same boat as you. I don't feel like it's too bad.
My favorite non-running work out would have to be swimming! I swam in high school, so it's a long term love for me. I really have started to enjoy weight lifting, too, though. Strength training is pretty important and I know I don't do enough of it. There is something about that burn that you get after an hour of lifting weights....
The summer heat is rough down here in Florida, but I've actually gotten really use to it. It's not so bad anymore! I've started tearing out workouts from the fitness magazines I get and have found some really great alternatives to basic machines, it's really helped spruce up my workout and I have recently gotten into swimming, so I'm gunning for a triathlon within the next year! And that's a good song! Good luck with your marathon training plan!
ReplyDeleteHi! Love that popcorn cartoon! So funny!! I am SO over the heat, summers in AZ are no fun:/ I'm stopping by from the GFC Blog Hop and am now a new follower:) Would love for you to stop by Crazy Mama Drama!

I remember that book…
Seattle Times Editorial Board: "Legalize it!"
Normally, Friday afternoon is when news is leaked that people hope to bury. That is unlikely to happen with the Seattle Times editorial board's endorsement of HB 1550, the bill to legalize marijuana in Washington State, sponsored by Rep. Mary Lou Dickerson.
The board is not even swayed by the fact that marijuana would still be illegal under federal law. In their view, this is a time when the state of Washington can get there faster than the federal government, and the fight to fix failed policy may as well begin here. Hello, Ecotopia.
Argues the Times:
There has been:
• A cost to the people arrested and stigmatized as criminals, particularly to students who lose university scholarships because of a single conviction;
• A cost in wasted police time, wasted court time and wasted public resources in the building of jails and prisons;
• A cost in disrespect for the law and, in some U.S. cities, the corruption of police departments;
• A cost in lost civil liberties and lost privacy by such measures as the tapping of private telephones and invasion of private homes;
• A cost in the encouragement of criminal lifestyle among youth, and the consequent rise in theft, assault, intimidation, injury and murder, including multinational criminal gangs; and
• A cost in tax revenues lost by federal, state and local governments — revenues that for this state might be on the order of $300 million a year.
For your reference, here is HB 1550′s specific intent:
Sec. 1. (1) The legislature finds that:
(a) The regulation and taxation of cannabis will generate revenue for health care programs, including effective drug education programs. Producing, selling, and shipping cannabis within Washington will also help create jobs in the agricultural sector;
(b) Regulating and selling cannabis will conserve state resources during the current period of fiscal constraint and create significant state revenue for health care and substance abuse treatment and prevention. Each year millions of dollars are wasted on prosecution of cannabis-related offenses. Regulation of cannabis will eliminate these expenses in addition to generating revenue; and
(c) The state has an effective system for the regulation and taxation of alcohol.
(2) Therefore, the legislature intends to promote commerce and competition within Washington by eliminating penalties for the possession and consumption of cannabis, regulating and taxing the sale of cannabis by state government, and licensing cannabis growers.
4 thoughts on "Seattle Times Editorial Board: "Legalize it!""
It's too bad that 1550 didn't even get out of Committee. That being the case, it's likely that it's dead for the session. The deadline was yesterday. There's a Senate companion bill, but it only has two co-sponsors, and it's likely to get little traction in Olympia.
It is too bad, because beyond the money the state could make by regulating and selling it, our incarceration costs would likely plummet. Boo.
With proven incredible power of the Seattle Time editorial board to sway public opinion, I'm sure we'll be rolling in ganja before long.
On the other hand, the SeaTimes is nothing (full stop) if not the endorser of conventional wisdom. That means there's a sea change at hand, and we'll be rolling in ganja before long.
One way or another, it's time to invest in THC futures.

At Thornton Academy, there's a tradition of talented kickers. The latest is senior Brandon Briggs.
Damien Shepard
Damien Shepard, Windham: In his first start at quarterback, Shepard led the Eagles to a 47-13 opening- game win over South Portland. Shepard ran for four touchdowns and passed for another. He finished with 146 yards rushing.
Tyson Goodale, Bonny Eagle: Goodale, the Scots' quarterback, scored three touchdowns apiece rushing and passing in a 42-14 win over Biddeford. Goodale had 131 yards rushing on 15 carries and was 13 of 23 passing for 283 yards.
D'Vaughn Myers, Morse: Myers ran for two touchdowns and 100 yards in leading the Shipbuilders to a 39-6 win over Camden Hills. He also caught a 63-yard touchdown pass from Kevin McKellar.
Justin Zukowski, Portland: Zukowski scored three touchdowns and gained 144 yards on 23 carries as the Bulldogs opened the season with a 45-14 win over Massabesic.
In Saturday's victory against Deering, Briggs was 5 of 5 on PATs and kicked a 26-yard field goal. Just as important, his booming kickoffs sailed into the end zone three times in the first quarter.
When a team makes an opponent start from the 20 time and again, it's a big advantage for the defense.
"It's hard to have an 80-yard drive in high school football," said Thornton Coach Kevin Kezal. "It creates a long field and helps in the battle of field position. The good thing about Brandon's kicks is he gets a long hang time. He's very accurate on PATs and field goals."
Briggs joined the Golden Trojans' football team last season after playing soccer as a freshman and sophomore.
As a junior, he was 29 of 30 on PATs and 2 of 3 on field goals. He had 14 touchbacks on kickoffs last year and was chosen the all-SMAA kicker.
Preceding Briggs as kickers for the Golden Trojans were Alex Howard and Chris Gennaro.
Gennaro did some kicking for the University of Maine and is now a graduate assistant at Yale.
"Chris kind of took Brandon under his wing and worked out with him. He's also worked with Chris Camire, who we're grooming to be the kicker after Brandon graduates," said Kezal.
When the Golden Trojans get in the red zone, they know they have an excellent shot to at least come away with three points, like they did in their second drive against Deering. Briggs has excellent range, so that even when they are outside the red zone, the Golden Trojans could strike.
"He's very consistent from 35 yards and in. During practice and warmups, Brandon has kicked field goals from 45 and 50 yards out," said Kezal.
Kickers are often the last defender to have a chance of tackling the ballcarrier on kickoffs. In Briggs, the Golden Trojans have someone they can count on to make the play.
Dominic Lauture of Deering had a good return on a kickoff with a chance of breaking it, but Briggs was there to make the tackle.
"Brandon is a good athlete. He plays on the baseball team. We like having him back there," said Kezal.
Briggs has another good quality that helps in being a kicker.
"Brandon is happy-go-lucky. Nothing bothers him," said Kezal.
Briggs has attended kicking camps and would like to kick in college.
SPEAKING OF kickers, Cheverus looks to have a good one in Patrick Mourmouras.
Mourmouras was certainly busy last Friday. He was 3 of 4 on PAT kicks in the Stags' 43-6 victory against Sanford. His only miss was blocked.
In the afternoon he played for the Cheverus soccer team in a 3-1 home win over Sanford.
For the last two seasons, Louie DiStasio handled the kicking for the Stags. DiStasio is a freshman at the University of Rhode Island, where he is playing baseball.
WESTBROOK COACH Jeff Guerette cautioned against reading too much into his team's 30-0 victory against Mountain Valley, the defending Western Class B finalist, last Friday night.
Mountain Valley's numbers are down, running back Matt Hosie was sidelined and the Blue Blazes recovered all five of their fumbles in addition to being intercepted twice.
"I expected a dogfight," Guerette said. "I expected a grind-it-out, low-scoring affair."
Westbrook played well enough to hold Mountain Valley to one first-half first down and to keep the Falcons outside of the red zone until the final minutes of the game.
"I think we wore them down a little bit toward the end," Guerette said. "They're a very good football team. They're going to be there at the end."
THE TOP GAME Friday night in high school football will take place in Fairfield, where Lawrence, the defending Eastern Class A champion, will be home aginst Bangor.
Bangor will be looking to rebound after losing to Brunswick 36-28 on opening night. Lawrence defeated Edward Little, 39-16.
In Western Class A, Bonny Eagle at Scarborough is a match of 1-0 teams. Sanford at Deering is also a key game as both teams look to rebound from opening losses.
Headlining Western Class B on Friday night will be Westbrook at Wells, the defending state champion; and Cape Elizabeth at York, who are both looking to bounce back after Week 1 losses.

Getting Oriented
Getting Oriented
The country's focal point is its capital, Stockholm, itself a jumping-off place for the remarkable beauty of the archipelago that lies to its east. On the west coast, Göteborg (Gothenburg) is Sweden's standout second city. To its north lies Bohuslän, to the south the Swedish Riviera: two coastal regions that buzz with life in the summer months. Sweden's southern tip is home to a lovely mix of farmland, forests, and châteaus, and includes the regions of Skåne, Småland ("The Kingdom of Glass"), and the island of Öland. Dalarna, the country's heartland, is centered on Lake Siljan and the town of Mora; this is where Swedish folklore and traditions are most visible.
Stockholm. Built on 14 small islands, the city is an intriguing mix of global commerce and local craft, modern design and ancient architecture, bustling metropolis and peaceful green space. In the summer months, life takes to the streets—and to the water. Summer is also a great time to take in what some say is Stockholm's best attraction: its mixed, modern, self-assured, beautiful population. People-watching has never been more fun.
Side Trips from Stockholm. On Stockholm's doorstep is one of the world's most beautiful archipelagoes; with more than 25,000 islands fringing the city, it's easy for everyone to find a space to call their own, even on the weekend when city dwellers flock here by the thousands. Farther afield is Gotland, whose Viking remains, unspoiled wilderness, and busy summer social life make for a holiday paradise. To the north of Stockholm is Uppsala, home to one of Europe's oldest seats of learning.
Göteborg (Gothenburg). Göteborg uses its position to its advantage. From as far back as Viking times the city has been a hub of international trade. Today Göteborg is a thriving, commercial, cosmopolitan place with a cultural and architectural status far beyond what you'd expect from its size. Its people remain down to earth, though, and have a reputation for being particularly funny and vibrant.
Bohuslän. Though this traditional nonadministrative province stretches directly north from civilized Göteborg, it couldn't feel farther away. The rugged, rocky coastline of Bohuslän is stunning in its wild natural beauty. Pastel-painted fishing villages, clinging for dear life to the exposed rocks, are a haven for summer sailors, tourists, and locals. Be sure to sample this region's extraordinary seafood out on one of its many boardwalks.
Swedish Riviera. Much like its more famous French and Italian namesakes, this is where Sweden's wealthy and beautiful come to rub shoulders and top up their tans. Unlike its namesakes, there's room for everyone on mile upon mile of glorious sandy beach. Inland, you'll find relics of a less genteel Swedish past; the region's medieval fortifications tell tales of centuries of bloody battles with neighboring Danes.
The South and the Kingdom of Glass. Dense beech forests and sun-dappled lakes are the lifeblood of Småland's isolated villages whose names are bywords for fine crystal glassware: Kosta, Orrefors, and Boda. Further south, the landscape opens up in Skåne where lush farmland, rolling coastal headlands, seemingly endless sandy beaches and the delightful city of Malmö are the main draw.
Dalarna: The Folklore District. Dalarna is Sweden's spiritual heartland and the focal point of most of the country's myth, symbolism and tradition. The region is centered on Lake Siljan, bordered by a road that takes you through beautiful forests and ancient villages with red painted farmhouses. Along the way, take in the places and landscapes that inspired Sweden's myths and legends—as well as Sweden's national symbol, the wooden Dala horse.

NORTHSTAR LODGE ~ Vacation Log Home Rental ~ Clark, Colorado ~ Near Steamboat Springs ~ HOME / LOCATION / FACILITY / AREA INFO / RATES / CONTACT |
We are near to fishing, water activities, hiking, biking, horseback riding and pack trips, cross-country skiing, snow-mobiling, snow-shoeing, downhill skiing. The following list is not an all-inclusive list.
We have three beautiful lakes within a few miles to the north. All require admission fees. Steamboat Lake has boat and canoe rentals, a swimming beach and a marina. For more info on Steamboat Lake, Pearl Lake, Hahn's Peak Lake and other area lakes visit Wildernet (wildernet.com -> Colorado -> Routt)
Backdoor Sports - Located along the river in downtown Steamboat. Rent an inner-tube and float down the Yampa River! Or learn how to navigate a Kayak! Rent sports equipment.
The Howler Alpine Slide - In the summer you can ride the chair lift up to the top, then howl down the 2400 foot slide. Located on on Howelson Hill. (970-871-1104)
Hahn's Peak Village - Here you can see many original miner's cabins. If someone is in the little shop, 'Things and Stuff', they'll usually give you the key so you can look inside the old Hahn's Peak School or the old jail.
Del's Triangle 3 Ranch - horseback riding
Steamboat Lake Outfitters - restaurant, snowmobile rentals, ATV tours, horseback riding, and more
We have two wonderful hot springs:
The Old Town Hot Springs in downtown Steamboat is great year-round with hot springs, swimming pools, workout rooms, cafe, etc. It's very convenient and relaxing after a day of skiing. I especially like to come here in the summer with my grandkids because of the swimming pools and slides.
My favorite is the Strawberry Park Hot Springs. I prefer the winter rather than summer, it is one of the most beautiful hot springs in the world. You do have to have a 4 wheel drive for winter or can get a ride with Sweet Pea Tours. This place is so fabulous.
Don't miss the Tread of Pioneers Museum in Steamboat. This delightful museum contains artifacts of the first residents of this area, in addition to an incredible collection of early ski gear.
Of course, there is fabulous downhill skiing in Steamboat in the winter, but don't forget that the lift is open most of the year. In summer, take a ride to the top for lunch, then ride or hike down. Mountain bike enthusiasts ride UP and down the ski trails, or for a fee, transport their bike up for the ride down. In Ski Time Square, there are summer activities for the kids, too.
Take a Hot Air Balloon ride! There is so much to do all year-round!
Personal Chef Sharon Ashburn - Let everyone enjoy being on vacation by having your own chef come prepare your meals. She also cleans the kitchen!
If dining out is your preference, we're fortunate to have some great restaurants and deli's nearby.
Hahn's Peak Cafe - Located about 4 miles to the north, they serve great Mexican food and also have a bar. Be sure to check their live music schedule.
The Clark Store is in a category all its own. It is our everything store - gas, post office, groceries, video rental, ice-cream parlor, library, coffee shop (cappuccino, lattes and espresso, too) great sandwiches made to order, gourmet take-out, bakery, cross-country ski and snowshoe rental, fishing licenses and bait, Godiva chocolates, hand-tied flies, beer and liquor store, maps, hunting supplies - whatever!!
The Glen Eden - good food, great homemade pizza night, burger night, full bar, dinner - sometimes lunch. Every now and then a band plays in the back dining room. Local hang-out, sports channel TV.
Dutch Creek Guest Ranch - Reservations suggested, good food, great lodge-in-the-woods atmosphere, a nice place for a special night, near Steamboat Lake Marina.

SUN LAKES — St. Steven Parish celebrated its 25th anniversary not by looking back at the past, but by looking forward and paving the way for the next 25 years.
Bob Bevers never used to have a stance on right-to-life issues. "I never really gave it much thought — it was a battle that I wasn't involved in," Bevers said.
Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted blessed and dedicated Blessed John Paul II Mausoleum Sept. 14 at Holy Redeemer Cemetery. The ceremony marked the opening of the recently completed mausoleum, an expansion that adds 460 new crypts to the cemetery.
Curtis Martin, President and Founder of the Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS), one of the fastest growing movements in the Catholic Church, spoke Oct. 18 at the All Saints Catholic Newman Center at Arizona State University.
The dining hall at St. Vincent de Paul on at 1075 W. Jackson St. serves 1,500 meals a day to those in need. This setting may be an unlikely place to experience the beauty of a great work of art, but collaboration between the Vatican Observatory, the Catholic Community Foundation and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul has brought a replica of Michelangelo's "Pieta" to the facility.
The sounds of native drumming and the sight of groups of matachin dancers performing in their Aztec inspired and regional costumes greeted the thousands of faithful as they arrived at the Phoenix Convention Center for the 38th Annual Arizona Rosary Celebration Oct. 13.
As temperatures prepare to cool down, duffers are getting ready to participate in the sixth annual Friends of the Cathedral Golf Tournament Sept. 27 on the links at the JW Marriot Desert Ridge Resort and Spa.
Theresa Enciso moved to North Phoenix 35 years ago with one requirement — to be close to a Catholic Church. That Church ended up being Our Lady of the Valley Parish, founded only five years earlier, on July 24, 1973.

Jadeveon Clowney Hit: Big Play in Outback Bowl a Sign of Things to Come
NFL quarterbacks are safe for one more year.
Jadeveon Clowney highlighted South Carolina's Outback Bowl victory with a signature helmet-jarring hit on Michigan running back Vincent Smith, and put an exclamation mark on every scouting report for the former No. 1 recruit for the next year.
Clowney is a sophomore and is ineligible for the NFL draft for one more season. As long as he can stay healthy, he'll continue to be in the discussion for the No. 1 selection in 2014.
Clowney is an imposing force with all the physical tools that make an elite pass-rusher. At 6'6", 256 pounds, he has the frame to add some bulk but enough quickness and explosiveness off the snap to beat most tackles at the college level.
With an eight-sack freshman campaign and a 13-sack sophomore season, Clowney has cemented himself as one of college football's elite pass-rushers. More impressive than his sack numbers is the way he's done it.
Clowney has an arsenal of pass-rushing moves, and he's only going to get better. He suffered from a foot and knee injury in 2012, but he fought to stay on the field and get after opposing quarterbacks. With an offseason to recover and a strong work ethic, there's no reason to believe Clowney won't be in the discussion for several more major awards next season.
What Clowney offers is more than just edge-rushing ability. He's a physical freak, with all the athleticism of a much smaller player and the strength to hold up with opposing linemen at the line of scrimmage. Even with a skill set so perfectly tailored for an elite pass-rusher, Clowney plays the run as well as anyone on the team.
It may be too early to talk about Clowney's potential landing spot in the NFL draft. He's still a year away from being eligible, and Clowney still has another year to prove he can continue to compete at the highest level. Still, his electric playing style and incredibly high motor make Clowney's future NFL career a fun thought for fans and a terrifying prospect for NFL quarterbacks.

Article and photographs courtesy of www.myfourways.co.za:Guests enjoyed a morning learning about organic gardening, how to grow vegetables and plant summer colours at Bangkok Wok, Cedar Square on Wednesday, 23 September. Peter Goodwin, owner of Peebles Plants, spoke on the planting of summer colours. He shared his wealth of knowledge regarding seedlings and perennials stemming from 20 years in the industry. Peebles Plants is a grower of annuals and perennials and specialises in colouring retail nurseries and gardens large and small. Peter's passions are people and plants and how to mix the two together. Rosemary Jansen was the other guest speaker for the morning. In 1980 she started working as a sales representative in the nursery trade. Over the years she became involved with the training of staff in fertilisers and insecticides.In 2004, after seeing the damage that chemical products do to our environment, Rosemary wanted to make a difference in the world. She decided it was time to educate people about how they could be healthier and reduce their carbon footprint. With this aim in mind, she joined a company called Talborne Organics.In 2007, Garden Palette (trading as Earth Buddies) was formed and started to promote a more organic way of gardening.Today, Earth Buddies' (www.earthbuddies.co.za) main services are:- selling certified organic fertilisers and pesticides and training in their use- talks and workshops on organic gardening, how to use pesticides responsibly, how to improve your soil and how to encourage wildlife into your garden- waste management with the use of worms- sales of and information about Red Wriggler (Eisenia foetida) worms and worm farms- sales of bird feeders
The secrets of youthfulnessKate Turkington recently celebrated her 75th birthday. Hard to believe as she is incredibly active and youthful. "My doctor is absolutely gorgeous," she confided at the Nouveau Women at the Square's September event. "For my birthday, he gave me the scantiest, red underwear ever. Now, I've had some scanty underwear in my time - ones where nipples poke out and pairs of crotchless panties, but these were so sexy! Maybe he is trying to tell me something?"From scarlet underwear, to river rafting in the Himalayas and a rendevoux with aging hippies in the back alleys of Kathmandu, Kate throws herself into every adventure. After celebrating the full moon in Tibet, eight kilometres from Mount Everest base camp, Kate also has trips to Prague, Budapest and Burkino Faso lined up.Following this dose of inspiration and the usual flurry of generous prizes, it was time for the film, Last Chance Harvey, starring Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson.Thank you to our sponsors on the evening:* JENNA CLIFFORD* CO.FI* HAIR ON THE SQUARE* RAIN
On Saturday, 05 September from 10h00 until 11h00 Cedar Square and Mega Mica Fourways Garden Centre hosted a children's gardening workshop in the Dion Wired Court with the popular Mulberry Bear. The Mulberry Bear is an educational bear and the aim of the workshop was to promote the excitement and magic of gardening. A little bit more about the Mulberry Bear - he came to visit South Africa from Bearland and loved our country and all it had to offer so much that he got involved in teaching children all about gardening and caring for our land while still having fun.Thank you to our sponsors for helping make the workshop so much fun:* MEGA MICA FOURWAYS for the potting soil and flowers* TOY ZONE for the fabulous goodie bags for all the children who attended
In vino veritasBring together a selection of fine wines, and guests who aren't afraid to let their hair down, and you have the ingredients for a great night out.Particularly if you choose the sophisticated ambience of The Central Grill's upstairs private dining room at Cedar Square.Dave Moss, of Elbows Up, hosted a wine tasting for guests of 3 Fifteen, which also included some Belgian style, home-brewed beer and samples of deli specialities. The first few drinks slipped down easily, leading to some honest, and intriguing, feedback.Such as, "I don't like this wine, but I have an almost morbid fascination that makes me keep sipping it." Or, of the home-brewed beer, "It doesn't taste 'gugghh', like other beer does."Several glasses down, conversation moved to the pondering of life's mysteries, such as: Does SA stand for 'sex appeal', or 'shit attitude', what took place on Laurent Leclercq's desk and inevitably, was Dave Fincham, aka Bob, an undercover flasher?
Ditch those grumpy old men!It just so happens a business networking group was at Cinema Nouveau at the same time as our ladies' evening.Now the theme was 'bling it on' and the ladies were dressed in their shiniest bling and the suits were, well, in suits.If the one gentleman's snooty refusal to have his photo taken is anything to go by, investing your time to see a movie with friends is so much better for your sense of humour. He was also a wonderful example why men are so not welcome.When hostess Kate Turkington wondered if any of the ladies may be planning to get married, the women packed up laughing. Perhaps it was mirth that they had already made that mistake? No matter, at the Cedar Square movie nights the girls can definitely let their hair down.Armfuls of prizes were given out to the best dressed, thanks to the Cedar Square's generous sponsors - Jenna Clifford, Hair on the Square, Ribbons & Romance, Placecol, and Nicci Boutique.After tucking in to the delicious food, courtesy of Bangkok Wok, everyone settled down to the movie, Crossing Over, starring Harrison Ford and Ashley Judd.
Show us your Poker Face!The poker table has often been compared to the boardroom table; the only difference being its shape, according to former world champion poker player, Bobby Baldwin. If so, an intriguing glimpse of varied business styles was on display at Live Out Loud's entertaining poker evening, hosted by Cofi at Cedar Square on Thursday, July 09.Some were rather reckless - throwing in all their chips with flushed cheeks, only to be knocked out almost immediately. Other players joked more than they played and then there were also quiet hustlers. The beauty of the game is the bluff and there were some startling examples of successful hoodwinking, such as when Alan Coghlan went all in. He had the worst hand at the table but somehow claimed the pot. But it was the cool-headed Daniel Collett who triumphed with his focused attitude to the game. Even when opponent Darryl van Vrede had a considerable larger portion of the chips, Collett never gave up and clawed his way to victory.
On Sunday, 21 June Cedar Square hosted the Intercoiffure charity 2009 Cut-A-Thon in aid of Wet Nose Animal Rescue Centre.From 10h00 the Jenna Clifford court was abuzz with activity as the Intercoiffure stylists gave of their time freely to cut supporters' hair for just about nothing. All proceeds (R50 for gents and kiddies, and R60 for the ladies) went to Wet Nose. In total we raised over R8,300 - a big thank you to everyone who contributed!Wet Nose Animal Rescue Centre (www.wetnose.org.za)Wet Nose is a "Right to Life" animal shelter which was started in 1999, with the aim of giving abandoned, abused and neglected animals a second chance. Animals in their care are not put to sleep, but looked after, fed, medicated and loved until a new loving home is found for them; no matter how long it takes!Wet Nose receives no government funding and relies solely on public donations to continue saving and re-homing animals on a daily basis. Many of the animals at Wet Nose have been hurt by their experiences, so the staff often have to spend time helping them overcome the problems they've developed as a result of abuse.The Wet Nose vets treat animals against disease and sterilise all the animals in order to prevent indiscriminate breeding. Kennel hands provide everything from meals to cuddles, and our many volunteers take the dogs for long walks!One little "brakkie" who had been shot had the bullet lodged in her leg for at least four months...The owner nick-named her Bullet and left her to suffer! After this dog was confiscated in March 2009, her leg had to be amputated. She received intensive treatment for severe infection and is now recovering at Wet Nose. Her psychological scars are however a lot more serious than her physical scars, and the staff at Wet Nose are working very hard at helping her to trust humans again.But most heartwarming of all was when supporters were treated to a special guest appearance by Braveheart on Sunday. Braveheart is a 5 and a half year old Irish Setter who was doused with boiling cooking oil and subsequently lost a great deal of his fur and skin, and his ears were cut off. He was spotted by one of the Wet Nose inspectors who was on an investigation in a squatter camp, quietly wandering around. Although he was wary, he'd been so badly abused and burnt by burning oil he was not aggressive and came willingly when the Inspector called him.At the shelter he stood passively while he was cleaned. Remarkably whilst he had no hair left around the eyes, his eyes were clear and seemed fine. A few weeks later and his coat has definitely improved although he still bears many scars. He has miraculously made a full recovery and is a surprisingly placid, friendly and loving in nature. Braveheart has an independent nature, he probably hasn't had much affection or any chance to bond with someone. But dogs are wonderfully forgiving and given time, care and affection, Braveheart could prove to be a great friend and companion. Braveheart has recently developed a passion for Chelsea buns. He gently puts his paw on your knee to ask for a piece - how can one resist such a request?A Word on IntercoiffureThe Intercoiffure group is an international organisation with the Head Office in Paris and over 50 member countries.Membership to the group is by invitation and to salons who excel.

Sandton Auctioneers hosted their sale at Cedar Square on Saturday, 20 June & Sunday, 21 June.
Fashion casualties abound!It was with some distress that I realised that I had committed several of the fashion faux-pas on display at the Cedar Square Ladies' Movie Night, where the theme was your biggest fashion faux pas.Sandals with socks - to a Valentine's Ball, odd tights throughout high school and, most cringe-inducing of all, a white outfit to a wedding (not mine). The only thing for it was to have a generous glass of wine, grit my teeth and make a note of what to avoid in the future. It is always well worth taking the time to dress according to the theme as the prizes are many and fabulous - thanks to the generosity of the evening's sponsors Jenna Cliffford, Carrol Boyes, Off Your Head, and Cedar Square. Off Your Head, Placécol and Grand Optical also provided fabulous giveaways to all the ladies.Ciao Baby Cucina provided the delicious pizza, just what the doctor ordered to accompany your wine on a stormy evening in mid-winter. Then host, Kate Turkington, came up with some pearlers such as, "I may have to sell my body... It is the experience I am offering." And, "For the first time in my entire life I am living alone - it is wonderful. My staffi doesn't provide the same level of intellectual debate as my late husband, but I think he loves me more." The featured movie was the romantic costume drama, The Young Victoria. Next month's event will take place on Thursday, 16 July and the theme is "Bling it On."Please email Andrea Aley for more information: email@example.com.
What better way to stay young than to invite bucket-loads of kids to your birthday bash!?Garfield, everybody's favourite, lazy, ginger cat turned 31 this month and Cedar Square marked the occasion with a fun-filled party. A mouthwatering array of birthday cakes, decorated in his honour, were soon devoured at a speed Garfield would have been proud of.Face painting, temporary tattoos and a screening of the Garfield movie were some of the treats lined up for the young guests.KenBo-the-Clown deserved a round of applause for being the best-looking, non-scary clown in town. The kids loved him too...Did you know that...Garfield currently holds the Guinness World Record for being the world's most widely syndicated comic strip?Garfield was born in the kitchen of an Italian restaurant, and immediately ate all the pasta and lasagne in sight, thus developing a taste for lasagne?
Experience the explosion of the "Double O's"There was much rubbing elbows but also some lifting of them at Live Out Loud's tasting evening, hosted by Oil & Vinegar at Cedar Square. Guests sampled plump olives soaked in citrus infusions, luxurious balsamic vinegars and a magical pomegranate reduction - some of the finer things in life. A wine tasting followed, hosted by Dave Moss of Elbows Up. Dave is a passionate wine connoisseur who educated the guests on the "Double O" - an oral orgasm. Such as would be experienced when putting your glass of matured red wine to your lips.The wines sampled were a Joubert Tradauw Chardonnay 2006, The Berrio Sauvignon Blanc 2008 and the Joubert Tradauw R62 Merlot Cabernet 2006. This Chardonnay had very subtle oak flavours and it is therefore the perfect wine to drink with spicy, flavoursome foods. It also compliments salad, seafood and chicken. The Sauvignon Blanc has been rated one of the top 250 wines of the world and guests loved its fresh lime and herb flavours."Red wine should go down like a waterfall, smooth and without bumps," explains Moss. Which is exactly what the Merlot blend did.Prins Mhlanga, managing executive at Vodacom, won the lucky draw to claim an Oil & Vinegar hamper.
The P-Party!
In their leather jackets and short skirts, the prostitutes showed off legs clad in fishnet stockings. Nearby a bunch of pisscats howled with laughter as they clutched their booze and stumbled about drunk 'n disorderly.It was of course a P-party - the theme for this month's Nouveau Women at the Square event held at Cedar Square. The ladies were on top form and some of the best costumes ever were on display. A Parisian Painter-in-Progress mingled with a dishevelled Poor Person. Puss-in-Boots also made an appearance and the first prize went to the gorgeous Pregnant fairy, Michelle Gabellone.As usual, fantastic prizes were up for grabs, thanks to the generosity of Jenna Cliffford, Hair on the Square, Cinema Nouveau and Cedar Square.After some wine, plenty of pizza and much hilarity, the ladies settled down to watch The Burning Plain, starring Charlize Theron and Kim Basinger. Packed with intrigue and drama as well as a gorgeous young Mexican - the perfect choice for a girl's night out.Next month's movie night will take place on Thursday, 18 June.Please contact the marketing team for more information: firstname.lastname@example.com or contact 011 465 0910.To view pics on our Facebook page click here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=82785462134&ref=mf.
Moms and daughters, grannies, sisters and best friends were treated to a morning of indulgence at Carmella's on the Square at Cedar Square on Friday, 08 May to celebrate Mother's Day.And the most work they needed to do was to choose between a chocolate flavoured cappuccino, a flavoured syrup cappuccino or a mochachino with Belgium chocolate, latte or a vanilla Chai latte. And then of course the next major decision was whether to have the deliciously sinful chocolate caramel Ganache mousse cake, the moist apple and pear tart or the beetroot and carrot cake with their indulgent drink.As the ladies tucked in, guest speakers entertained them. John Fraser of Avanti Caffee, an expert on the caffeine fix, surprised the audience with the declaration that quality coffee has five times more anti-oxidants than green tea.Tracey Chambers of Placécol answered tough questions about skin care, making sure the women understood it is never too late to look after their skin. The new Placécol Beauty Centre recently opened at Cedar Square in early May.Petra Laranjo of 5th Quadrant Productions is an image consultant who will help anyone look their best. Petra discussed the Autumn/Winter fashion trends and answered crucial questions such as "How do I make a big bum look smaller?" (The answer by the way is to avoid drawing attention with colour, avoid skinny jeans or big pockets. Also choose trousers and skirts made from heavier fabrics). A final word of advice for this season from Petra is to invest in a good quality coat, which is an absolutely essential key item.Each guest received a goodie bag, and there were also fabulous prizes given away to a few lucky ladies. Thanks to the following sponsors for the prizes and items for the goodie bags:- 5th Quadrant Productions- Carmella's on the Square & Avanti Caffe- Central Grill- Jenna Clifford- Montic Dairy- Off Your Head & Goldwell- Oil & Vinegar- Placécol- Relish- Timeless Legacy- Wealth of HealthA big thank you too to Woolworths Food for the sponsorship of the lovely flowers for the welcome table, as well as to Nicci Boutique for providing the goodie bags and for dressing our model.

Nouveau Women at the Square is an all-ladies' event that takes place at Cedar Square once a month. "New York, New York" as the theme of the most recent event held on Thursday, April 30 and as always, the ladies made a special effort to dress up.

Are strange men your karma?The second Nouveau Women at the Square event took place on Thursday, 12 March at Cedar Square, featuring The Reader, starring Acamedy Award winner, Kate Winslet, and Ralph Fiennes.Their outfits inspired by the world's fashions, the ladies were in high spirits as they sipped their wine and nibbled on a tempting spread of snacks from Ciao Baby Cucina. An evening without husbands, boyfriends and kids in tow always produces intriguing conversations - a few overheard included marriage proposals, marital problems and even hot flushes. But the tone is always light-hearted, as was hostess Kate Turkington's discussion on strange men being her karma. "I am always meeting strange men in very strange circumstances...I think it is because I am safe." Two of the best compliments Kate has ever received include: 'You are not a bit like my mother' and 'Kate, you can come and live with me in the bush anytime'. The latter delivered by a handsome game ranger with a thick Afrikaans accent and accompanied by a very wet kiss!With R20,000 worth of prizes from Jenna Clifford, Secret Garden, Off Your Head & L'Oreal, Carmella's on the Square & Avanti Caffe, Ciao Baby Cucina, awarded to the best dressed ladies, ladies with the quirkiest outfits, etc. and fabulous goodie bags for all, the evening was again a tremendous success. The next event will take place on April 30.For more information contact Karyn Theron on email@example.com.

Something which set him apart from the crowd that I couldn't quite put my finger on...Aha, that was it...he was the only man in the room!"Mark Oosthuizen, owner of Hair on the Square, was granted special access to the launch event of Nouveau Women at the Square, as he generously donated loads of Sebastian Professional hair care products to be given away as prizes.

Times have changed - gone are the days when people went to gym in any old t-shirt and scrappy tracksuit pants, and gone are the days when gym wear was exclusively for the gym. For a society in which multi-tasking has become the norm, there's nothing better than clothing which multi-tasks. "People don't always want to have to change before or after gym, and they don't want to go out wearing an old faded t-shirt. They want to look good all the time," says Anita de Villers, co-owner of Body Action Performance, a sports- and active-wear boutique in Cedar Square shopping centre.Because of this need for convenience, coupled with a deepened sense of urban style, sports clothing has become street wear. "It doesn't just stop there - street wear is being designed with more 'bling', making it ideal for going out to a restaurant or even a club," she says. "And while the clothing definitely has to look fabulous, it also has to have performance capability. When it comes to exercise, it's so much more enjoyable if you know you look good while you're doing it!Body Action Performance is a designer label for casual street wear, and the price is matched with superior quality. Every range carries a limited number of sizes and the quality of each item is evident in the colour, cut, fit and detail. "The beauty of Body Action Performance clothing is that you can choose one or two items from each season and then easily mix and match them with clothing from previous seasons," she says. "The clothing is really good quality, so it lasts."With winter just around the corner, shoppers will be happy to know that they can be one step ahead of the rest, as Body Action Performance already has the winter range. According to Anta, jeans and bomber jackets are still in. "Velour is also still popular and there is a lot of detail like embroidery and diamantes." The Body Action Performance collection is extensive and includes men's and women's clothing and accessories. Future plans for the brand are to introduce children's clothing, swimwear and underwear.

in response to JayEvett:
Alcohol is legal. Do your kids think drinking is OK?
To a certain extent they do. On the other hand, having firsthand knowledge of the effects of alcoholism and drug addiction, I can't imagine a caring parent telling his or her child that creating social norms based on morality is akin to "oppression", and that as productive members of society, the behavior of others should be of no concern to us. Like I mentioned, a lot of that comes into focus once you have kids.
I do have to admit my frame of reference is a bit limited as far as homosexuals are concerned. Of the two I ever really knew, one is VERY messed up and the other dead from AIDS.
