'''Pachuca''', formally '''Pachuca de Soto''' (''La Bella Airosa'', en: ''The windy beauty'') is the capital of the [[Mexico|Mexican]] [[States of Mexico|state]] of [[Hidalgo (Mexico)|Hidalgo]]. It is located in the south-central part of the state. [[Pachuca (municipality)|Pachuca de Soto]] is also the name of the municipality of which the city serves as municipal seat. The [[municipal president]] is [[Omar Fayad]] of the [[Institutional Revolutionary Party]].
==Background==
Copeland was born in [[Alexandria, Virginia]],<ref>
[http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2006/01/26/DI2006012601460_pf.html Film: "Everyone Stares: The Police Inside Out"]</ref><ref>[http://www.stewartcopeland.net/biography/1952-75.htm Early days, the Middle East, music biz & Curved Air]</ref> the youngest of four children of CIA officer [[Miles Copeland, Jr.]] and [[Lorraine Copeland|Lorraine Adie]], a [[Scotland|Scot]] who served in [[United Kingdom|British]] [[Military intelligence|intelligence]].


==Name==
The family moved to [[Cairo]], [[Egypt]] a few months after his birth, and Copeland spent his formative years in the [[Middle East]]. In 1957, the family moved to [[Beirut]], [[Lebanon]] and Copeland attended the American Community School there. He started drum lessons at age twelve and by age thirteen he was playing drums for school dances. Later he moved to England and attended [[Millfield]] from 1967 to 1969. Copeland went to college in [[California]], attending [[California Western University]] and [[UC Berkeley]]. He returned to [[England]] in 1975, playing drums for the [[progressive rock]] band [[Curved Air]].
The name Pachuca probably comes from the [[Nahuatl]] word ''Pachoaca'' or ''Pachoacan'', meaning "place of the rulers" or "narrow place"; it may also come from the word ''Patlachiuhacan'', which means "place of silver and gold." The official name of the city is ''Pachuca de Soto'' in honor of Deputy [[Manuel Fernando Soto]], who was one of founders of the state.


== Personal life ==
== History ==
The area has been inhabited by various indigenous groups, most notably the [[Aztecs]], who ruled the region from 1438. In 1528 [[Spain|Spanish]] [[conquistador]]s invaded the area. The first Spaniards to settle in the region were Francisco Téllez and Gonzalo Rodríguez, who built the first modern houses in the area. They named the place "Real de Minas de Pachuca".
Copeland married Curved Air vocalist [[Sonja Kristina]] in 1982. They divorced in the early 1990s. They have three sons: Sven (drummer/producer), Jordan (film-editor/director and frontman in London-based rock 3-piece Pot Head Show[http://www.hotheadband.com]) and Scott (currently tour-manager for uncle [[Miles Copeland III]]'s [[Bellydance Superstars]]). Copeland has another son, Patrick, with Marina Guinness, daughter of [[Desmond Guinness]]. Copeland currently lives in [[Los Angeles]] with his second wife, Fiona Dent. They have three daughters: Eve, Grace, and Celeste.


During the [[Mexican Revolution]], the city was captured by followers of [[Francisco Madero]] on [[16 May]], [[1911]]. Until 1923, Pachuca was one of the few cities in the state with [[air mail]] service to the capital.
Stewart's oldest brother [[Miles Copeland III]], founder of [[I.R.S. Records]], was manager of the Police and has overseen Stewart's interests in other music projects. Stewart's other brother, the now deceased [[Ian Copeland]], was a pioneering booking agent who represented the Police, amongst many others. His father, Miles Copeland, once worked for the [[Office of Strategic Services]] (OSS), according to files released by the [[Central Intelligence Agency]] (CIA) in 2008.<ref>[http://news.aol.com/article/julia-child-others-part-of-spy-network/132516 ''Julia Child, Others Part of Spy Network''], AOL News, August 14, 2008</ref>


Pachuca is reputed to be the cradle of Mexican [[Football (soccer)|soccer]]. Workers from [[Cornwall]], [[United Kingdom]], who came to work Pachuca's [[silver]] mines brought the game with them. Many examples of Cornish [[architecture]], vestiges of the Cornish influence, still exist. Pachuca is famous for its ''[[Pasty|pastes]]'', which are pastries filled with meat, potatoes, or fruits, which are vestiges of the [[Cornish pasty]] culinary influence.
Stewart's hobbies include rollerskating, cycling along the beach in Santa Monica, filmmaking and playing polo.


==Drumming==
== Demographics ==
Pachuca had a 2005 census population of 267,751 people. The municipality had an official population of 275,578. Its area is 195.3 km² (75.4 sq mi). The city is located 58 miles (94 kilometers) from [[Mexico City]], to which it is connected by a modern freeway. The city has a moderate climate with annual average temperature of 57 degrees Fahrenheit (14 degrees Celsius), even though freezing temperatures can occur in winter nights. Pachuca has been given the name "la bella airosa" or "the windy beauty" because during most of the year there are strong northeasterly winds that can reach 46 mph (75 km./hr). Pachuca is an important mining center and has an active commercial and cultural life. Numerous industries are based in Pachuca and the surrounding areas, including automobile parts, ovenware, tools and mining equipment.
Copeland is known for his precise, energetic, and creative rock drumming along with a [[reggae]] and [[jazz]] influenced style. His distinctive sound centers on a hard, high-pitched ''crack'' on a snare drum or rimshot, subtle [[hi-hat]] work with understated flourishes, while often playing only hi-hat with bass drum. Copeland is a master of the [[syncopation|syncopated beat]], and his distinct approach consolidates his position as an important drummer on the world stage, subsequently influencing generations of drummers. His credit on [[Curved Air]]'s ''Airborne'' album was "Heavy Artillery" rather than "drums."


== Tourism ==
Copeland is also noted for his heavy emphasis on the groove as a complement to the song, rather than displays of technical prowess. He once drove this point home at a drum clinic: Copeland announced that he would show the audience something "that very few modern drummers can do," and proceeded to play a simple rock beat for two minutes. Nonetheless, his playing often incorporates spectacular fills and subtle inflections which greatly augment the groove. Compared to most of his 1980s contemporaries, Copeland's snare sound was very bright and cutting. Another novelty was his use of [[splash cymbal]]s. He also is one of the few rock drummers using the [[traditional grip]] rather than the [[matched grip]].
[[Image:Bancopachuca.jpg|thumb|right|Bank in the Historic Centre]]
Pachuca is not much of a tourist city, but there are a few things to see. The ''Reloj Monumental'' (Monumental Clock) is the central clock tower, built in 1904 in the city centre. The bell which chimes in this clock was made by the [[Whitechapel Bell Foundry]], the same company that made the original [[Liberty Bell]], and London's famous [[Clock Tower, Palace of Westminster|Big Ben]].


A souvenir shop is located in the first floor of the tower, where it is possible to buy tickets to either take a tour of the city aboard a special bus or to experience an underground tour of Pachuca's old mines.
==Equipment==
Stewart Copeland currently uses [[Tama Drums]], [[Paiste]] Cymbals, [[Remo]] Drum Heads & [[Vater]] Drum Sticks.


There is also the ''Centro Cultural Hidalgo'', ("Hidalgo Cultural Centre") which is housed in an old monastery and contains museums, a [[theatre (structure)|theatre]], a library, a gallery, the city's Arts School and a garden of remarkable beauty. Pachuca is also home to the ''Museo Nacional de la Fotografía'', the National Museum of Mexican [[Photography]].

The El Chico National Park can be found very close to Pachuca. It is a forest located high up in the mountains, lying at elevations ranging from 2600 to 3050 meters (8530 to 10000 ft). The park, also known as Raven Forest, has huge rocks to climb, campsites and a little lake to go fishing.
*Stewart also uses his own Vater ''Stewart Copeland Standard'' Sticks.


The twin silver mining settlements of Pachuca and Real del Monte ([[Mineral del Monte]]) in the State of Hidalgo are being marketed as 'Mexico's Little Cornwall' by the Mexican Embassy in [[London]] in 2007 and represent the first attempt by the Spanish speaking part of the [[Cornish diaspora]] to establish formal links with Cornwall. [[Camborne]] and [[Redruth]] town councils in [[Cornwall]] have recently agreed to twinning agreements with Pachuca and Real del Monte. The twinning agreements will be formerly signed during the July 2008 visit of the Cornish Mexican Cultural Society to the State of Hidalgo.

Pachuca is one of Mexico's highest and coldest cities, but the city's real elevation remains unclear. Depending on the source, Pachuca's altitude can be anywhere between 2400 and 2800 meters (7875 and {{convert|9185|ft|m|0}} respectively). The official elevation is 2426 meters (7960 ft) but no one seems to know when, how and where it was measured. The elevation is enough to give Pachuca a weather that is remarkably cold for a city at this latitude. Pachuca never gets hotter than 29 °C (84 °F) and temperatures as cold as -7 °C (19 °F) have been registered in the coldest winter nights. In the winter, powerful gusts of wind coming off the mountains can be cold enough to cause [[frostbite]] to exposed skin.

==Klark Kent==
Copeland also recorded under the [[stage name|pseudonym]] Klark Kent, releasing several [[United Kingdom|UK]] singles in 1978 with one ("Don't Care") entering the [[UK Singles Chart]] that year, along with an eponymously titled 10-inch album on green [[vinyl]] released in 1980. In a 2006 online chat, Copeland "revealed" (with tongue in cheek) that [[A&M Records]] signed the Police in order to get Klark Kent.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0NTQ/is_2006_Jan_27/ai_n16032562|title=Film: "Everyone Stares: The Police Inside Out"|accessdate=2007-02-24|date=2006-01-27}}</ref>

In 1989, Copeland formed [[Animal Logic (band)|Animal Logic]] with [[jazz]] [[bass guitar|bassist]] [[Stanley Clarke]] and [[singer songwriter]] [[Deborah Holland]]. The trio had success with their first album and world tour but the followup recording sold poorly, and the band did not continue.

Copeland has occasionally played drums for other artists including [[Peter Gabriel]]. In 2000, he joined with [[Les Claypool]] of [[Primus (band)|Primus]] (with whom he produced a track on the Primus album ''[[Antipop]]'') and [[Trey Anastasio]] of [[Phish]] to create the band [[Oysterhead]]. In 2002, Copeland was hired by [[Ray Manzarek]] and [[Robby Krieger]] of [[The Doors]] to play on a new album and tour, but after an injury sidelined Copeland, the arrangement ended in mutual lawsuits. In 2005, Copeland released [[Orchestralli (album)|Orchestralli]], a live recording of chamber ensemble performing music of his own composition on a short tour of Italy in 2002. Also in 2005, Copeland started Gizmo, a new project with [[avant-garde]] [[guitar]]ist [[David Fiuczynski]]. The band made their U.S debut on [[September 16]], [[2006]] at the [[Modern Drummer]] Drum Festival.

At the 2007 [[Grammy Awards]], Copeland, [[Andy Summers]] and [[Sting (musician)|Sting]] performed the song "[[Roxanne (song)|Roxanne]]" together again as The Police. This marked the band's first public performance since 1986 (they had previously reunited only for an improvised set at Sting's wedding party in 1992 and for their induction into the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]] in 2003). One day later, the band announced that in celebration of The Police's 30th anniversary, they would be embarking on what turned out to be a one-off [[The Police Reunion Tour|reunion tour]] on [[May 28]] [[2007]]. In addition to this, Copeland released the compilation album ''[[The Stewart Copeland Anthology]]''.

==In Other Media==
Alternative rock band [[Sparky's Flaw]] released a song titled "Stewart Copeland" as a part of their 2005 EP album "One Small Step."

In 2007 Copeland and Summers joined the rock band Incubus during the Incubus song "Stellar" at one of their concerts. In the middle of "Stellar," Incubus performed a verse from "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da." Copeland and Summers joined in for that song, "Message in a Bottle," and "Roxanne".

In 2008, [[RIM]] commissioned Copeland to write a 'soundtrack' for the [[BlackBerry Bold]]. Copeland created a highly percussive theme of one minute's length, from which he evolved six ringtones and a softer 'alarm tone' for when the device is used as an alarm clock. All of these tunes are preloaded into the Bold's system memory.<ref>

Pachuca, formally Pachuca de Soto (La Bella Airosa, en: The windy beauty) is the capital of the Mexican state of Hidalgo. It is located in the south-central part of the state. Pachuca de Soto is also the name of the municipality of which the city serves as municipal seat. The municipal president is Omar Fayad of the Institutional Revolutionary Party.

Name

The name Pachuca probably comes from the Nahuatl word Pachoaca or Pachoacan, meaning "place of the rulers" or "narrow place"; it may also come from the word Patlachiuhacan, which means "place of silver and gold." The official name of the city is Pachuca de Soto in honor of Deputy Manuel Fernando Soto, who was one of founders of the state.

History

The area has been inhabited by various indigenous groups, most notably the Aztecs, who ruled the region from 1438. In 1528 Spanish conquistadors invaded the area. The first Spaniards to settle in the region were Francisco Téllez and Gonzalo Rodríguez, who built the first modern houses in the area. They named the place "Real de Minas de Pachuca".

During the Mexican Revolution, the city was captured by followers of Francisco Madero on 16 May, 1911. Until 1923, Pachuca was one of the few cities in the state with air mail service to the capital.

Pachuca is reputed to be the cradle of Mexican soccer. Workers from Cornwall, United Kingdom, who came to work Pachuca's silver mines brought the game with them. Many examples of Cornish architecture, vestiges of the Cornish influence, still exist. Pachuca is famous for its pastes, which are pastries filled with meat, potatoes, or fruits, which are vestiges of the Cornish pasty culinary influence.

Demographics

Pachuca had a 2005 census population of 267,751 people. The municipality had an official population of 275,578. Its area is 195.3 km² (75.4 sq mi). The city is located 58 miles (94 kilometers) from Mexico City, to which it is connected by a modern freeway. The city has a moderate climate with annual average temperature of 57 degrees Fahrenheit (14 degrees Celsius), even though freezing temperatures can occur in winter nights. Pachuca has been given the name "la bella airosa" or "the windy beauty" because during most of the year there are strong northeasterly winds that can reach 46 mph (75 km./hr). Pachuca is an important mining center and has an active commercial and cultural life. Numerous industries are based in Pachuca and the surrounding areas, including automobile parts, ovenware, tools and mining equipment.

Tourism

Bank in the Historic Centre

Pachuca is not much of a tourist city, but there are a few things to see. The Reloj Monumental (Monumental Clock) is the central clock tower, built in 1904 in the city centre. The bell which chimes in this clock was made by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, the same company that made the original Liberty Bell, and London's famous Big Ben.

A souvenir shop is located in the first floor of the tower, where it is possible to buy tickets to either take a tour of the city aboard a special bus or to experience an underground tour of Pachuca's old mines.

There is also the Centro Cultural Hidalgo, ("Hidalgo Cultural Centre") which is housed in an old monastery and contains museums, a theatre, a library, a gallery, the city's Arts School and a garden of remarkable beauty. Pachuca is also home to the Museo Nacional de la Fotografía, the National Museum of Mexican Photography.

The El Chico National Park can be found very close to Pachuca. It is a forest located high up in the mountains, lying at elevations ranging from 2600 to 3050 meters (8530 to 10000 ft). The park, also known as Raven Forest, has huge rocks to climb, campsites and a little lake to go fishing.

The twin silver mining settlements of Pachuca and Real del Monte (Mineral del Monte) in the State of Hidalgo are being marketed as 'Mexico's Little Cornwall' by the Mexican Embassy in London in 2007 and represent the first attempt by the Spanish speaking part of the Cornish diaspora to establish formal links with Cornwall. Camborne and Redruth town councils in Cornwall have recently agreed to twinning agreements with Pachuca and Real del Monte. The twinning agreements will be formerly signed during the July 2008 visit of the Cornish Mexican Cultural Society to the State of Hidalgo.

Elevation

Clock Tower Monument

Pachuca is one of Mexico's highest and coldest cities, but the city's real elevation remains unclear. Depending on the source, Pachuca's altitude can be anywhere between 2400 and 2800 meters (7875 and 9,185 feet (2,800 m) respectively). The official elevation is 2426 meters (7960 ft) but no one seems to know when, how and where it was measured. The elevation is enough to give Pachuca a weather that is remarkably cold for a city at this latitude. Pachuca never gets hotter than 29 °C (84 °F) and temperatures as cold as -7 °C (19 °F) have been registered in the coldest winter nights. In the winter, powerful gusts of wind coming off the mountains can be cold enough to cause frostbite to exposed skin.
