The stunts were great and not computerized. The music was also good. There was no story. Samuel Jackson is always a talkie actor and this movie was no different: just a motor mouth through the whole movie. It was boring and the swearing ... My husband didn't care for this movie either.
not a fan. Take away all the fast filming, and all the stupid swearing, it could have been a good story, but it was just boring.
lots of action ,lots of laughs .
Samuel Jackson is the highlight of the flick.
Really enjoyed this movie. Ryan Reynolds and Sam Jackson are great together and Selma Hayek...awesome! Action and comedy were both excellent and I will definitely see this one again!
Wow what a good movie. I had certain exspectaions but this movie went a little over my expectations so I was definitely pleased with what I have seen. Would go see it again. The twists and turns this movie does is awesome and the action well done. Should go see this movie. 20x better then wonder women.
The action is over the top and Ryan is a excellent. Not as funny as I had hoped but the interaction between the two are good.
They should do a movie on Salma's character she was funny as h**l.
A waste of time. Wouldn't even make a decent one hour T.V. show.
Best movie of the year, action packed from the start to the finish, I enjoyed this
It was very funny and bloody. A very good movie.
I thought this movie was dumb and stupid and don't waste your money

I haven't been able to play at very many Real Time Gaming casinos, but the ones I have played at were not bad. I think the software looks really good, and the sound is excellent. When the chips fall and the cards shuffle they sound real, and that can only add to the gaming experience. The games are attractive to play, and the bonus offers abound.
The listed Real Time Gaming casinos have all been personally visited and played at by me. Each casino has been individually reviewed, and only quality casinos are listed here. If you are looking to start gambling online, any one of these casinos would be an excellent starting point.

But did you know that Norma, a native San Diegan, can tell you the location for each of the five U.S. Post Office locations in Santee over the past 60 years? She remembers her parents telling her that they measured her growth by weighing her on scales at the post office, located at the time inside a general store at Magnolia Avenue and Mission Gorge Road, where a Sonic Drive-In stands today.
She grew up in Santee on a dairy located at the end of a dirt road that was Magnolia Avenue at the time. Today, the dairy property consists of single-family homes off Woodside Avenue, along with townhomes and the Mission Del Magnolia Mobile Home Park and New Frontier Mobile Home Park, which is owned by her siblings.
She was born on her mother's birthday in 1945. She remembers watching the Mother Goose Parade sitting in the back of a cattle truck (the 68th annual Mother Goose Parade is this year). Norma remembers family trips to San Diego to buy ice cream from the creamery where the milk was shipped. The creamery, located where Petco Park is today, was first owned by the Quality company and then by the Carnation company.
Her after-school chores while growing up included feeding baby calves, climbing up a silo to push down the silage for the cows to eat or herding cows or driving a pick-up truck while her dad pitched hay to the cows. In the third grade, an angry heifer used her horns to push her about 100 yards until she escaped by entering a well house.
She attended Santee Elementary School, which was torn down in the 2007. In kindergarten, the students took afternoon naps on top of the tables in the cafeteria. She attended El Capitan High School in Lakeside and, in 1963, she was a member of El Capitan's first four-year graduating class (all four of her children also graduated from El Cap, and some of them had classes with their mother's same math teacher, Mr. Till). In high school, Norma was active in ASB and entered the pageant for Miss Dairy Princess of San Diego (she didn't win).
After high school, Norma starting working with the Santee School District as a teacher's aide, and later as a nurse assistant and then as secretary for about 10 years to the Assistant Superintendent of Personnel.
The year after high school, her cousins arranged a blind date with a guy in Riverside who was going to college and learning how to be a welder. Norma and Jerry were married on July 31, 1964. Norma worked a half-day on her wedding day. After 19 years, Norma left the school district job when Cristina was born.
Jerry and Norma raised four children, including sons Jim, Craig and Jonathan – all three boys became Eagle scouts -- and daughter Cristina Rutherford, who today is the broker of record for Parkway Real Estate and Property Management, a company founded in October 2013 and a successor to Realty World Parkway, which Jerry and Norma launched in 1989.
The family jokes that Cristina started her real estate career as a baby. Today, Norma, 69, has five granddaughters ranging in age from 20 years to 5 months. Cristina's new daughter is named Caitlin Lee -- her middle name was Jerry's middle name.
Norma taught Sunday school Bible classes at El Cajon Foursquare Church for 36 years, with about 25 of them teaching 2-3 year olds. The family began attending Shadow Mountain in 1998. Since 1973, Norma has lived in El Cajon's Blossom Valley community
Norma and Jerry were married for 49 years. Jerry passed away on Sept. 7, 2013. "My family, my church friends and my PSAR friends have been a great support for the past year," said Norma. "I am so grateful for the many friendships developed as a result of PSAR. I consider them part of my family."

- Comet
- Dog ID: 16-046
- Surrender Date: 12/5/2016
September 11th, 2017:
Comet surprised us a few weeks ago. In the year she's been with us, she has shown no interest in the different dog toys we have around the house. The closest was wanting to play with a stuffed Golden that is almost the size of her. We were recently at an art fair, and Comet spied a basket of knit toys. She stuck her head into the basket and pulled one out. The vendor probably didn't intend it to be a dog toy, but she was excited to hear Comet's story. Guess who has a new toy? Because her sister destroys toys and we want to make sure she has it for a long time, Comet gets to play with her toy when we can watch the two of them.
The past few months have not been the easiest for Comet. One day she just collapsed and wouldn't move. We rushed her to the vet where they ruled out cancer. Though she wasn't exhibiting the usual symptoms, they diagnosed it as vestibular disease which affected her balance. It took two days for her to be able to stand, and she slowly regained her strength.
A few weeks ago she became unsteady on her feet once again. Her recovery is slower this time around, and short walks seem to help with it. Her head is now tilting, one of the noticeable signs of the disease. She's back to eating normally, so she is feeling better. We're taking a wait and see approach and making sure she is living the best life she can.
March 11th, 2017:
Comet is up to 59 pounds! That's a 10 pound weight gain since she was surrendered at the end of August. She has evolved into a good eater and has started hanging out in the kitchen while meals are being prepared to be available to assist if something drops. She continues to add foods to her diet and ate lettuce just the other day.
Her diet has also helped Comet's coat fill in, and it's very thick. Her belly was completely bare when she first arrived (probably due to her allergies). It's now covered with fur.
Comet recently underwent surgery to have a cyst removed. While she was under anesthesia, the vet checked her mouth and found a growth. After having it tested, we found Comet has melanoma. It isn't aggressive at this time, and we're going to watch its progression.
Comet loves other dogs and recently met some larger than her at the dog park.
Comet continues to engage more with her sisters and to become part of the family. She's already done that to our hearts.
December 28th, 2016:
Guess who just turned 12 on the 26th?
Comet continues to settle in with her new sisters. Once the adoption was final she began sleeping with them like she knew she was home. She's gained 8 pounds since she came to us too!
She's been busy since her last update. Comet healed quickly from her tooth extraction during her dental in November. She really enjoyed the canned food she got to eat while she was healing. Surprisingly, she switched back to the kibble version very easily. She's a very good eater and is learning to eat vegetables. Sometimes they'll find their way next to her bowl, but she's trying different ones. She's also eating fish oil capsules and coconut oil to help with her dry skin and a probiotic because an animal communicator said she had a "grumbly tummy."
Comet sold a bunch of Community Days coupon books at Brookfield Boston Store and won the hearts of many people while she was there. She soaked in lots of love during the visits too. She is looking forward to selling more books for the spring sale beginning in January.
Her cage reactivity continues to appear, and it is inconsistent when it will happen. We're planning on speaking with the animal communicator to see if Comet can get passed it. We remind her she's safe and nobody will hurt her.
Comet met a friend named Santa Claus when we were taking holiday photos. She would wander by him every chance she had. We're glad she didn't go back to the North Pole with him because we love her dearly.
December 7th, 2016:
Comet got a clean bill of health and was adopted by his foster home. He is learning to bond with his two golden siblings.
October 12th, 2016:
It's amazing how far Comet has come in the five weeks she's been with us. She tagged along on her foster sister's vet appointment the other day, and she's gained four pounds! You can no longer see her ribs, and her belly area is filling out. The vet said her coat is feeling a lot better too. Comet even approached the vet and sat between her legs. She's definitely starting to trust again.
We are continuing Comet on her limited ingredient diet, and she's on the maintenance dose of Apoquel. Her scratching is almost nonexistent.
Comet's cage reactivity still appears, but it a lot less severe and less often. We found if we turn our backs toward her, she will stop. We will continue to work on this.
Comet attended GRRoW's volunteer thank you event and ran around with the other dogs in attendance. It was a happy sight to see her run for the first time. She did great with everyone, two or four legged! We took her swimming, and though she did some paddling, it wasn't her thing.
Comet is scheduled to have her teeth cleaned at the beginning of November. The vet still wasn't able to get a good look at her mouth, but we know at least one tooth is going to be pulled. She'll need to heal from that, and then she'll be able to go to her forever home.
September 12th, 2016:
Comet has come so far in the two weeks she's been with us. She received a haircut and a bath on her first day to help with her scratching.
She came to us underweight, so the vet ran a number of tests to make sure she was healthy. Everything was fine, and the vet gave us medicated shampoo, an antibiotic, and Apoquel to help with the itching. We switched her to a limited ingredient diet in case she's allergic to anything in her food. These have helped immensely, and it's amazing to see how much better she must feel.
Comet is slowly coming out of her shell and fitting in wonderfully with her four-legged foster sisters. She's starting to seek attention and affection too. She even picked up a toy and retrieved after it when it was tossed. Hasn't since, but it was a good sign.
Though we found that Comet rides well in the car, we found Comet sometimes has a cage aggression issue when it's time to exit the car. She will sometimes bare her teeth, growl, or bark. We're working on this with some positive reinforcement exercises.
We're heading back to the vet this week to do a follow up. The vet is also going to check her mouth to see if she requires a cleaning. There were a lot of tests being done the first visit, so she might be more amenable to it this time.
With some stability and other exercises, Comet will hopefully be ready for her forever home soon.

MAY'16_The Secret to Selling a House…read more!
The Secret is in the Home Staging…
As your real estate agent helps you prepare your home for sale, she or he may mention using the services of a professional home stager. Some agents even offer staging consultations as part of their services. Here are reasons why top-rated agents say that staging works to sell homes:
Home Staging Has Proven Results
Homes staged before hitting the market sell, on average, 73 percent faster than their unstaged counterparts, according to the Real Estate Staging Association.
But if you're concerned about whether to spend a few hundred or several thousand dollars on staging, weigh the cost against the additional mortgage payments and possible price reductions that may result if your home lingers on the market.
Be aware, too, that following an initial consultation, a professional stager can scale services to fit your needs and budget. Often, a stager will provide a list of suggested actions and improvements and it's your choice how many to act upon.
Even a stellar location and listing price can't guarantee that your house will be snapped up quickly. The benefit of staging is that it complements the features already embedded in your home's appeal, such as the architecture and neighborhood, and can create the lasting impression needed to inspire offers.
Clearing Clutter is Just the Start
Staging your home is about more than reducing clutter and "depersonalizing" your space so that buyers can imagine themselves living in it. A staging professional can work with your real estate agent to create a space that will be marketable to the largest possible audience.
Even if you are a decor-savvy homeowner with a great sense of style, it's important to note that the benefits of staging go beyond simply making a space attractive. A professional who understands what buyers want can present alternatives — such as furniture placement and paint colors, for example — that can make your home appear larger, more open and attractive to buyers.
Most home buyers begin their search online. Without an attractive digital presence, your home may be passed over at first glance. Staging your home can lead to wonderful photos that give you the visual edge you need to get buyers through the door.
Knowing the strengths of your property and highlighting them from the moment you list will provide a significant advantage, regardless of current market conditions.
Work With the Pros
The first step in selling your home is to pair up with the right professionals. Choosing a Realtor who can successfully market your home is an essential first step.
The secret is in the staging, be sure to contact Seek Organized Solutions for your next listing.
Finally, hire a real estate photographer/videographer. We highly recommend & work exclusively with "Momo's Studio Photography". Call them at 909.979.4120.

I just wanted to write a quick note on Intellectual Branding, a subject we will develop as the year goes on. I get asked this question a lot about how to gain mileage if innovation is the heart-beat of a company. Granted, the term innovation in itself if an abused term. Specially when used to simply recruit or plaster on a billboard, without following through with core research, patent filings, academic presence etc. However, intellectual branding in itself is not a misnomer and there are definite ways to achieve this. Case in point, PatNMarks, easiest for me to talk about since in this company, we believe in more than providing lip-service to an IP portfolio.
Our trademarks (Vaniham, Noutpam and Abha) are registered marks for our search services. Our company's logo is also a registered mark, though arguably, it reads like Schlotsky's. I'm thinking up a tag line, Schlotsky's is Funny name, serious business. I'm playing with Small is fast and one other line, which I am obviously more serious about registering.
We recently filed a couple of patents having to do with ideas that David and I have been playing with for a while. We are geeks that are true to our form, so, these ideas are just based on brainwaves we had en-route reading too much Feynman and not wanting to incorporate the bottom of the pile.
We are not a manufacturing concern, so our design portfolio will always be pretty slim.
Copyrights are another domain where we have made substantial progress and have a presence in.
The point I am trying to make is that our intellectual branding is on its way, by means of the patents we file, the IP portfolio we maintain and definitely the thought process that goes into tagging each of our services. One might argue whats in a name? but, with all due respect, thinking through your products in terms of entities that you spend a bit of time adding your personal signature to, adds to the value of the brand, in itself.
An upcoming poll is whether people know what Vanihamand Noutpam stand for.
Think Big and watch for the updates in this section!

"I am a big fan of candied angelica and love to decorate my cakes with it. I have one problem.....I like to snack on it too! I refuse to buy the kind that you find in most supermarket stores - it's a toxic green colour & doesn't even taste like angelica...so I spend quite a bit more money & buy it from a local organic market. I can't afford to buy so much these days so I wanted a recipe ... & here it is. I'm hoping to buy some angelica plants to keep in my garden too! Time to make doesn't include the draining time!

Come and join the awesome quiz party like no one even knew!
7pm – The Joker & The Thief. Jackpot: £60. Cheat news: One of the music round pieces is by Marina And The Diamonds. See video below to hear the song.
9pm – The Brass Monkey (Drummond Street). Jackpot: £30. Cheat news: One of the picture round answers is Vanilla Ice
Whatever happened to Marina & The Diamonds? I liked this song at the time but haven't heard much since.
A quick WIki reveals she's doing fine, releasing albums and having hits and all that kind of shit. I guess I don't really listen to the charts these days so maybe I missed her newer stuff.
If I ever meet her and I can kick off conversation by referencing two things we have in common. First our surnames. Mine is Diamond, hers' is Diamantis (same thing, but Greek).
Also, she lived in Greece for two years and so did I. There you have it.
Perhaps she'll reveal that she once ran a quizmaster and her whole pop career is just shadow-artist expression and that what she really wants to be is a quizmaster.
And I'll look her straight in the eye and say 'You just haven't earned it yet, baby'.

I think there is a great deal of secrecy and shame for those who hurt themselves on the outside through cutting because of the pain that they feel on the inside. Years ago, people like this would possibly have been considered demon-possessed. (They would have been compared to the Gerasene demoniac who gashed himself with stones in Mark 5 and Luke 8.) There still might be groups that look at self-inflicted pain this way, but I think that only leads to more secrecy and shame.
Cutting and similar behaviors are really, I believe, a way of coping with an incredibly tremendous hurt on the inside. This young girl desperately wants the pain she is feeling inside to go away. She just want something that really works, and this cutting of herself works, even though it is also destroying her relationships and her life.
By myself, my faith-filled heart wants to say, "Jesus is the answer to all of your painful problems. He can make the pain that you feel inside go away." But I can't say that so easily when I am face-to-face with someone else's pain. Sometimes a person can get mangled inside just as much as if they have been mangled on the outside in an automobile accident. Sometimes they might even prefer to have been in an automobile accident instead. Sometimes there are no easy answers and quick solutions. I know that Jesus can move and in an instant, people are changed forever. But what do you say when that doesn't happen?
I think this is where the Body Of Christ comes in. So often we think of Jesus as being "up there" and maybe, if we say and do the right things, He will become engaged in our lives…maybe. But the reality is if we are baptized into Jesus, then we are living members of His Body, and He isn't "up there." He is right here, right now, in you and in me. Sometimes it's up to you and me ministering through His power as His Body.
It's not often easy getting involved in another person's life, particularly when there are no quick two or three step solutions. Sometimes we can only say, "I'll walk with you and stay with you until…" And we can do that as the Body Of Christ.
Here is the only part that I'm putting in bold. If you can relate to this and are struggling with this or know someone who is…seek counseling. There are resources available that can help you. I'm just drawing and writing from my limited perspective. But there are professionals that can help you. Seriously. Jesus is right there with you. He was beaten, bloodied, stripped, and crucified for all the world to see. He knows pain inside and outside. He will stay with you until all of the pain is gone, no matter how long it takes. Honestly.

The Western Daily Press's editorial lineup has had a major overhaul as part of a two-stage development strategy.
Twelve journalists have begun new roles at the Bristol-based paper including Ellie Campbell, who becomes assistant editor.
Editor Terry Manners, who said WDP prided itself on cultivating its journalists, outlined the paper's evolutionary policy to Press Gazette.
"A paper can't stand still – if it does its journalists may become staid Editorial teams should move forward along with the stories.
"Essential to this are fresh ideas, new people and the chance for them to expand. This team will spearhead the drive of the paper in 2004 and challenge the national press."
Manners explained that every year he headhunted certain employees and drove them to become future editors.
The paper's former associate editor, Peter O'Reilly, has followed this lead by becoming editor of the Bristol Observer.
Campbell, who was previously news editor, said: "I have seen this paper go from strength to strength and it's incredibly exciting to try to build on the success of last year and make the paper a force to reckon with."
The sports desk has been strengthened by new appointments in recent months and now Chris Spittles, previously chief soccer writer, has been made sports editor.
He said: "This is great as far as sport is concerned. Now that there are more reporters we can cover our local sporting events much more comprehensively.
We will be putting several of our reporters forward for awards this year."
Other appointments include former supplements editor Susie Weldon, who becomes woman's editor, and Mark Templeton, who has been promoted to news editor with Andrew Postans replacing him as deputy news editor. The paper's former district reporter, David Humphreys, has become TV editor and Chris Brown is transferring from features to become a news sub/page planner.
Recruits from outside the paper include Alison Short from The Citizen, Gloucester, who joins as news reporter, Chris Marke, who joins from the Taunton Times as sports page editor, and Sarah Pritchard-Williams, who moves from the Bristol Evening Post to be supplements editor.
Ed Witcombe has joined as a trainee and there are plans to employ at least two more in the near future.
The second stage of development at the paper will involve the recruitment of production staff and the strengthening of working relations with titles along the west coast of Britain.
At the 2003 Press Gazette Regional Press Awards, the Western Daily Press collected five honours including Newspaper of the Year, Daily Newspaper of the Year and Community Campaign of the Year.

Eldon, Missouri – (StockNewsDesk) – 11/06/2014 — A slew of economic indicators performed better than the Street expectations. Additionally, the European Commission extended comments providing a boost to both US and European markets. ECB chief Draghi encouraged stimulus measures in the form of buying bonds to bring the European economy back on a growth track. Better than expected indicators prompted crude oil futures and gold futures to trade at their lowest levels. Crude fell nearly 2%, while gold futures are trading within a normal range. Tesla, the premium car maker, provided better than expected profits. Shares of the company were trading above 5% post declaration of results.
The number of people applying for unemployment declined unexpectedly by 10,000. The Initial Claims data came in at 278,000 compared to estimates of 285,000. This is a great sign for the job market given that the Initial Claims has been steadily providing numbers below the 300,000 figures. This is also the lowest level attained in more than fourteen months. The Nonfarm Payroll data, which shows us the health of the country's job market, might show a reading of 231,000. The unemployment rate has been steady at 5.9%. Moreover, production of the US Nonfarm segment rose 2% compared to expectations of 1.5% and earlier reading of 2.9%. With the increase in production, wages of US workers have also increased by 0.3%. Although the figure is lower than expectations of 0.5%, it meets the criteria of increasing the interest rates. On an hourly basis, compensation, on average, increased 3.3%.
Tesla Earnings Beat Expectations
Luxury car maker Tesla Motors provided earnings that beat the consensus on Wall Street. For the third quarter, Tesla posted earnings of 2 cents compared to the analysts' estimate of a loss of a cent and earlier quarter's profit of 12 cents. Tesla reported earnings of $932 million compared to $889 million estimated by Wall Street analysts. The sales figure is also well above earlier period's revenue of $603 million. The company said that the third quarter had seen the highest number of car deliveries. The number stood at 7,785.
The guidance given by the company, however, disappointed investors. The company lowered its earnings guidance in the range of 30 and 35 cents. The company expects to sell 33,000 instead of 35,000. The company has lowered the guidance because Tesla expects the sale of its Model S to be slower than expected. Wall Street expected the guidance to be around 75 cents.

Making a Difference
How exciting to know that the world is going through a great new awakening and we are right in the middle. The word of the Oneness of all that is, is alive and thriving everywhere. We are all a part of a great Consciousness that is the Source of everything and through our attachment to that same Conscious Energy, we are actively taking a direct part in the creation of everything everywhere.
Our understanding of Oneness is not new. The understanding goes back farther than recorded history. Today the realization of the magnificence of you and me is not only being recognized, but we are free to practice that understanding in whatever way we like.
Knowing about the Oneness is not enough, we need to live it and feel it as a great part of our being. We need to reach out and help those who don't understand or who are locked into fear of tomorrow, of death, and of rejection to know their worth. I am not advocating we go on missions to evangelize and bring everyone into the fold? No, that has been tried with disastrous results.
To teach, we must be. We must reach out in kindness to everyone we come into contact with. We literally are that beggar on the street; we are the woman behind the burka; and, whether we want to acknowledge it or not, we are the radical fundamentalists too.
Instinct has hard wired the fear of death so completely that it is hammered in place deep in our reptilian brain. Yet those who have had NDEs tell us is nothing more than awaking from a dream. The realization of our magnificent reality needs to be attached just as completely as our fear of death. We are the Loving Light we seek. Our job on Earth is to bring that Love, respect, and honor with you on your journey through life in whatever way is right for you.
What would happen if ISIS received a shipment of love wrapped in cookies or warm scarves knit just for them? And what would happen if we did that not just once, but over and over again?

Scarletts Email claims attempted gang rape before murderFebruary 9th, 2009 - 6:54 pm ICT by ANI
London, Feb. 9 (ANI): In an Email to her Spanish friend just days before her death on a beach in Goa, British teenager Scarlett Keeling wrote that a group of men had tried to gang rape her in Goa. Scarlett''s body was found washed-up on North Goa''s Anjuna beach semi-naked almost a year ago. She was drugged, raped and killed while her family left her in Goa with friends, and they holidayed along the Indian coast in February last year.
Scarlett''s mother, Fiona MacKeown, has now revealed that her daughter sent messages painting a chilling picture of the underworld she had become caught in, The Telegraph reports.
MacKeown said, My daughter''s last messages to a friend she had met in Goa paint a distressing picture of what was happening to her in her last few days and have made me question my decision to leave her behind.
In her shocking email Scarlett wrote she took a cocktail of drugs at a rave and was later shown hardcore pornography by a group of men who then all took it in turns tryin 2 rape me.
MacKeown who has been accused of neglect said, I already knew Scarlett had been raped before she was murdered. I now have to live with the knowledge that she was also horribly assaulted three days earlier. It''s hard to put into words how shocking it was to read that [email].
MacKeown said that another of Scarlett''s emails suggests she was being groomed as a drug mule.
The message to a friend 16 days before her death said that Scarlett planned to travel to Finland and Thailand with her 25-year-old Indian boyfriend, Julio Lobo. She clearly had plans I didn"t know about. She says she"d be making money.
I have since learnt there''s quite a strong drug link between the countries she talks about. It makes me wonder whether she was being primed to be a mule, she wonders.
Indian police believes that the men who committed the attempted gang rape could be her murderers. Officers from India''s Central Bureau of Investigation are planning to interview MacKeown about the emails before arresting the suspects.
Meanwhile, two Indian men are awaiting trial on charges of raping and drugging Scarlett and leaving her to die. (ANI)

2016 has been an eventful year, to say the least, so you might not have noticed all the excellent new restaurants that opened around town. Our diverse array of food options has grown even more -- from a brunch spot that features a weekend morning DJ and Bloody Mary bar, to a pizza place coming in straight from Chicago to satisfy all your deep-dish cravings. This year might have been full of some strange and unexpected news, but at least our stomachs were full of great new dishes.
This Pizza Dip Lets You Throw a New Kind of Pizza Party
MATCH Cuisine & Cocktails
Downtown Phoenix

Central Phoenix

Seafood is flown in each day to create dishes such as the Thai Style King Crab Salad, made with avocado, mango, peanuts, and cilantro, and the Sushi Grade Ahi Tuna Burger with avocado. The upscale, beach house-inspired restaurant is open for brunch, lunch and dinner. Stop by for happy hour Monday through Saturday from 11 am- 7 pm, for deals on drinks and items from the oyster bar.
BLK Live
North Scottsdale
With a name inspired by the highest quality beef in the United States, it only makes sense that BLK Live has some of the best burgers in Scottsdale. The BBQ Stuffed Burger is slathered with Sailor Jerry's BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, and fried onions, while the BLK Classic ups the ante on a burger with quality toppings. In addition to its delicious menu of classic comfort foods, BLK Live has a concert hall and a poolside lounge that host live music Wednesdays through Sundays.
CRUjiente Tacos
CRUjiente Tacos opened in November and is reimagining Mexican classic street tacos in a modern Latin dining experience. Menu items include bold and flavorful seasonal soups, guacamole, and tacos.

Hash Kitchen
North Scottsdale
Scottsdale's beloved Hash Kitchen has opened a new location farther north. This creative brunch spot serves up whimsical menu items, including Oreo Cookie Pancakes and the Nutella and Banana French Toast. There's even a build-your-own Bloody Mary bar to boot. The fun, hip décor and DJ sets will surely elevate your weekend brunch from a dining experience to a party.
Crab & Mermaid
Old Town Scottsdale
This spring, Crab & Mermaid opened its doors and changed the seafood landscape in Old Town Scottsdale forever.

Stock & Stable

Housed in an ornately renovated 1950s building, Stock & Stable is a modern American gastropub offering brunch, lunch, and dinner, as well as an impressive happy hour.

Lou Malnatis
Central Phoenix
Chicago's best has landed in Phoenix. The family-owned pizza chain opened back in the 1940s and has become well known for its now iconic deep dish pizza. Each pie is handmade from scratch and the pizzas are praised for their high quality ingredients which include vine-ripened tomatoes and fresh mozzarella.

10. Farm & Craft4302 N Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale
Housed inside boutique hotel FOUND:RE, industrial-chic MATCH Cuisine & Cocktails serves up an eclectic menu centered around a wood-fired oven, featuring everything from several varieties of pizzas (the Grateful Shroom with wood oven-roasted mushroom and toasted garlic is an earthy hit) to substantial entrees like salmon with tabbouleh and baked gnocchi & meatballs. It's an ideal spot to come with a group of friends, too, as there are "social plates" for sharing, such as Indian butter chicken samosas and Korean BBQ ribs, plus an inventive cocktail menu. You'll want to try the Purple Rain, a mix of local beet, black balsam, black currant, sparkling wine, and lemon.
From the folks behind La Grande Orange Pizzeria and Chelsea's Kitchen, Buck & Rider is a handsome, beach house-inspired seafood restaurant that flies in fresh catches daily to create a menu that focuses on both standards like freshwater blue prawns, oysters, and Prince Edward Island mussels, plus creative dishes like a Thai-style king crab salad and an ahi tuna burger with avocado. Guests can quench their thirst with a wide selection of hand-crafted cocktails, too, such as the rum-infused High and Mighty with Jamaican bitters and traditional Swedish liqueur.
With an extensive menu of comfort food, multiple bars, a poolside lounge, and a concert hall, Scottsdale's stylish BLK Live is designed to kick your night up a notch. The food lineup features a diverse range of American staples with a twist, including decadent burgers like the BBQ Stuffed Burger smothered with Sailor Jerry BBQ sauce, tune poke, crispy pork belly with smoked peaches, and meatloaf with a brown-sugar glaze. The impressive list of international wines, domestic beers, and craft cocktails is sure to please any palate as well. Portraits of music legends like Jimi Hendrix and David Bowie will get you pumped for BLK's live shows from Wednesday through Sunday, which spotlight acts that span hip-hop to country to classic rock.
CRUjiente reimagines Mexican street tacos with a menu that juxtaposes traditional varieties such as beef and green chili with inventive, Asian-influenced takes, including the fan-favorite Korean fried chicken, tempura avocado, and crispy crab. Another must-try is the pork belly taco, which comes topped with kimchee, cilantro, and Sriracha aioli. The stylish restaurant's signature cocktail menu is, of course, heavily focused on mescal, tequila, and bourbon, and you can even purchase high-end spirits and keep the bottles in one of 14 lockers for future visits.
This chic mecca for all things brunch is the brainchild of Valley culinary trailblazer Joey Maggiore. Hash Kitchen gives expected brunch staples a new lease on life, decking its French toast out in coconut & almond, dipping it in vanilla cream, and giving it a caramelized banana and hot maple reduction for good measure, and disguising its pancakes as s'mores, dotting them with chocolate chips and smothering them with toasted marshmallow fluff and graham cracker dust. The menu generally leans savory, though, with endless Benedict, scramble, and frittata options, which not-so-coincidentally pair excellently with Hash Kitchen's customizable Bloody Marys. At the Bloody bar, choose from 40 craft toppings (including the likes of pickled carrots, pepper jerky, bacon, eggs, and celery), ostensibly adding a second meal to your already-enormous brunch.
The Crab & Mermaid Fish Shop is a casual, kitschy seafood shack committed to serving its guests the freshest fish and shellfish on a menu of "Starters," "Raw Bar," "Sandwiches," "Tacos, Bowls & Rolls," and "Entrees." Our favorite menu option is undoubtedly "Off the Dock," which allows you to design your own seafood dish. Options include cod, albacore, salmon, shrimp, scallops, and others, which you can douse or rub with House Blend Spice, C&M Buffalo Sauce, Garlic Butter, or Teriyaki Sauce. Direct how your briny delicacy will be plated; whether you opt for it to be served atop a Caesar or House Salad, or, better yet, blanketed in a toasted artisan roll with remoulade and pickled onion, your own signature dish will delight you.
Scottsdale's Fat Ox is, quite aptly, named for the long-standing cattle showcase and food festival in Piedmont, Italy. The Italian restaurant's menu highlights homemade pastas (try the exquisitely prepared casoncelli served with butternut squash, sage, amaretti, Parmesan, and pomegranate), roasted seafood and chicken, and slow-roasted steak. The 40oz porterhouse might just be large enough to fill the bellies of all 350 people who can be seated in the cavernous dining room, their satiated faces lit by crystal chandeliers reminiscent of elegant disco balls.
Though North Central Phoenix's Stock and Staple aims to celebrate American simplicity and tradition (after all, it's named for the nearby Murphy Bridle Path, where locals have been horseback riding since 1941), it's at the culinary cutting edge, interweaving Italian influences in its American gastropub menu and even embracing technology at the dinner table, with USB ports and electrical sockets in its bar. On the fresh, seasonal menu are shared plates like the Jalapeno Popper, combining Anaheim chili with guanciale, mascarpone, and Cheddar, shared pastas like Sweet Potato Manti with feta, brown butter, sage, and pecan crumble, and selections of salads, sandwiches, meaty mains, and veggie sides. Ingredients are sourced from local businesses and distributors whenever possible, so indulge sans guilt at Stock and Staple.
The first location outside of the Chicago area, the Phoenix outpost of Lou Malnati's is bringing its famous deep-dish pies -- complete with a buttery crust and mozzarella that's been sourced from the same Wisconsin farm for more than 40 years -- to the Southwest. If you had any doubts about the Arizona pizza tasting different from the Illinois original, don't. The team uses a reverse osmosis system to make sure the water tastes like it's from the Midwest, so the dough comes out just as it should.
Do your body and mind a favor and eat at Scottsdale's Farm & Craft, a rustic-chic restaurant offering a menu that changes with the seasons, encourages an anti-inflammatory diet, increases probiotic levels, maintains high levels of antioxidants, and reduces stress with sustainable, gluten-free, organic, and hormone-free ingredients. Among an abundance of flowers, greenery, and wooden decor, you can dig into protein-heavy salads, sandwiches, and bowls alongside glasses of fresh-pressed juices, organic sodas, and even healthy cocktails. Go for the Happy Apple Bourbon, made with Four Roses bourbon, local honey, apple, and ginger juice.

We are rounding out the first month of the challenge. It's been very impressive seeing the volumes of figures some people have managed to finish weekly. I keep telling myself that 6 months is a long time, and if I can continue to reliably finish at least 2 a week, I'll be making a sizeable dent in the collection. It's a bit of a lie, if I only achieve 52 figs, but I have hopes for some large project completions as well.
This week I finished off Aina, yet another Bones figure. She was in my painting queue in the intersession, but I fell off the painting wagon. I finally finished her, and was quite happy with the result. I was vaguely inspired by recently re-reading Lloyd Alexanders Prydain chronicles, and wanted a 'Eilonwy' type character. She struck me as a fairly strong female character, although I'm not entirely sure my wife would agree.
The free handed shield is not quite symmetrical, and the hair isn't *quite* as red/copper as I'd wish, but otherwise I'm very happy. Unfortunately in a true bones fashion, her sword is bent, and despite being bent back with hot water, I don't think I 'quenched' it well in cold water, so it migrated back to the bent shape. Boo.
As a continuation of the hyrdocal terrain experiment, I left my stuff out to dry for a week or two, and attempting the 'leopard spot' painting style Woodland scenics recommends. I'm a bit on the fence about the final results (below).
You start off with dotting burnt umber, and yellow ochre inks (8:1 dilution) onto the rocks.
You then wash with black ink (16:1). I thought the black was far too dark at first and I cut the ink at least in half if not more (32:1 or more).
I'm not convinced it's dark enough now. I suppose I could rewash it, but I decided to wait a bit. The burnt umber was a bit.....blotchy. I think when I do more, I'll try for smaller dots, and overlap the yellow and umber more often.
I'd like to try and find a reddish toned ink so I can try and match some rocks to my badlands terrain as well.
The final achievement of the week was betting my Jabberwocky pinned. Once again, despite boiling water repositioning and quenching, this Bones figure had an unfortunate bend..... To the left.
His overall positioning was much better, so I didn't want to jinx things by retrying. So Instead I pinned his tail, and the slightly wobbly base, to a solid plastic base. Using some milliput excess from another project, I made a stone that he is stepping on. I haven't yet glued him to it, but likely will. Of course, now I'll have to get some basing materials down and reprime him before I start painting, but at least he is in a reasonable position and doesn't fall over continuously.

6MMRPC Week 4: Bones Aina, plaster rocks, pinning the jabberwock
2 comments:
Shieldmaiden looks cool. Shame about the sword tho - A few of my own Bones swords seem to suffer from the same affliction.ReplyDelete
The rocks are an interesting look. A second coat of black perhaps?
Jabberwock is such a cool model. Once again, sad to hear of the need to heat to fix bending. My own giant worm/carrion crawler from Bones 2 has a similar issue with her base that just won't lie flat...
The non flat bases are irritating but can generally be hidden with another (hard) plastic base. The wobbly swords etc are way more irritating.ReplyDelete
Another wash of something might help. I'm afraid of them getting too dark, but I think they need...something. I'll trial some testers with another black wash to see. Thanks for the input/suggestion.
