On Thursday we launched the next instalment of our mobile game series "The Magnificent Stunts" - Epic, parkour-inspired, platform/runner "Stunt Gal". You now can install the complete trilogy:

Stunt Gal - Available Now!
only on the App Store (iPhone/iPad)

Stunt Guy 2.0 - Available now on:
Google Play for Android and the App Store for iPhone/iPad

Reg the Roadkill - Out Now!
Only on the App Store for iPhone & iPad

Then, as revealed by the BBC last Sunday and discussed by our MD - Chris Kempt on Facebook today it looks rather like we'll be hitting the screens of the UK on Dragons Den on Sunday the 17th of August - obviously this was filmed a number of months ago now and we're not able to reveal any details of how it went but as their teaser clip clearly shows we were there to pitch the (now basically finished) Magnificent Stunts project - a series of mobile games starring our mythical stunt family which launched back in May with Stunt Guy 2.0.

So, exciting stuff huh?! Will we get the money? Will Chris manage not to swear on national television? Who knows... but in the meantime:

1) Install the games!
2) Check out the BBC Dragons Den page
3) And, if you'd like to stay in touch with the project then sign up for our newsletter,

So, there you go - madness huh? Wish us luck!Chris Kempthttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990895453610830060.post-14560611986832315022014-07-31T13:13:00.003+01:002014-07-31T13:18:35.399+01:00Reg the Roadkill & More!
Today sees the start of an exciting series of Kempt releases. Today we've launched:

Reg the Roadkill: a sadistic take on the classic "Frogger", 100% free and iOS exclusive - https://itunes.apple.com/app/reg-the-roadkill/id889158781

Stunt Guy 2.0 1.3: A massive content update featuring:

All-New "Banana Time" wheel of fortune-style mode

2 new 5-level films taking the total to 35 levels of mayhem

New and improved challenge-mode featuring Nurse Long

A new look for Gail Stunt.

bug-fixes, refinements and more!

And if that wasn't enough, in two weeks time we're also hoping to release the first version of Stunt Gal: http://www.themagnificentstunts.com/stunt-gal/ - it's an ambitious target, but I reckon we can do it!

So, why the sudden flurry of activity? It's almost as if there's something really big on the horizon huh?!

I've just added a news update to our Facebook but the key finding thus far would appear to be that it is totally possible to get into the top 20 without getting any App-Store features at all! Once I work out how... I'll feed back!

*** Update *** The Facebook post below is, in fact, incorrect. One thing I've learnt is that - for some reason - it takes App Annie and App Figures 12-24 hours to pick up on features. Since writing this i'm pleased to say that we picked up the following features:

Best New Games (iPhone) - Brazil, China, Japan
Best New Games (iPad) - Brazil, China, Japan, Turkey

Needless to say we are super-pleased with this and relieved that we managed to get the Japanese translation done in time - we're looking into getting the other localisations done this week.

Well, D-day has arrived, Stunt Guy 2.0 is hitting App-Stores around the world (it should be in the UK in about 15 minutes) and currently things appear to be going reasonably well?!

Comments and reviews are starting to spring up around the web (we'll try and keep these up to date on the Magnificent Stunts site) we've had loads of supportive emails and messages and generally people seem to be being nice about it on twitter too... all good thus far then!

One thing that has occurred today is that - at the last minute - we managed to sort out a launch event - Literally, this was all organised today! Tomorrow from about 10am we're going to be in Canterbury City centre near the Clock Tower - there'll be four reps from Kempt demoing the game and giving away merch and then - at about 4pm Chris Kempt will be doing a real, actual, stunt! Really!

Check out the announcement on Facebook and, if you happen to be around come along to see a life, or a career, ending!

Ladies and jellyspoons, it's our pleasure to announce that Stunt Guy 2.0 will launch world wide on the 17th April 2014.

In Stunt Guy 2.0 Guy and Gail build on the sterling work they did in the first instalment but this time we've added a ton of new features, cars, roadkill...yes, roadkill and explosions. It also features a "free to play" model which endeavours to charm you into submission - we hope it works.

My only defence is that historically our role was about creating amazing marketing assets and not getting people to them... well, that's my excuse!

Anyway, in a bid to becoming better communicators we've put together a short teaser trailer for Stunt Guy 2.0 which is now approaching beta - hope you like it!

The results are in! After 3 weeks of rigorous testing we have the first verdict on our forthcoming Stunt Gal game - huge thanks go to everyone that helped out by testing it and feeding back. The team will go through the feedback over the next couple of weeks and we'll be sure to report back on any changes or updates.

Stunt Guy 2.0 is now also ready for testing so if you're not already signed up then head over to the form. We'll start sending builds out next week.

After months of sitting in a dark room working on super-secret (well, okay... badly communicated) stuff we're finally ready to start showing off some of the fruits of our labours.

As you may be aware, we're currently working on two new games for The Magnificent Stunts - Stunt Gal - A side-scrolling platformer and the blockbuster remake of Stunt Guy, originally entitled Stunt Guy 2.

We're running a small-scale alpha-test for both these games and there'll be prize draws for people that provide useful feedback from testing the games. The form is below - get signed up and we'll be in touch soon!

Last week saw another milestone on the epic journey that is Red Bull Kart Fighter with the release of KF3 1.1 - a significant content update which featured a new location (Forge Ahead - a fantastical steel mill set in the icy tundra) as well as new Kart Skins, usability enhancements and the odd bug-fix.

Gladly this release appears to have been received rather well as now being featured heavily around the App Store (including "Best New Game" thanks Apple!) and it's quickly climbing the charts again. The release version got into the top ten overall in most countries worldwide so it'd be awesome to see this update do even better. Dare we dream of the top spot?!

The last couple of weeks have been touch busy at Kempt HQ particularly with the the Stunt Guy project which saw two massive steps in its evolution: First we had the with the release of V1.3 (which we feel is probably the definitive release) as updates for the existing Android and iOS apps. However - excitingly - Stunt Guy 1.3 is also now out on Blackberry too!

We'd love to hear what you think so check it out on your platform of choice using one of these links:

Well, after 8 months of back breaking - well, finger-breaking - work from the team, Kart Fighter 3 is finally out in the wild.

It's hard to describe the feeling you inevitably get at the end of a project like this - it's a weird mixture of pride, relief and anticipation but with a strange undercurrent of total mental exhaustion. The funny thing is that you're so focused on the end goal of finishing the damn thing that you totally forget all the work that happens after you launch - checking the app-store, hustling for reviews, telling important contacts, chasing down irritating little bugs and, of course, writing posts like this one.

If I could offer any advice to would-be developers or clients it would be this: At the end of a project like this make sure you make time to access what you've achieve, pat yourselves on the back a bit and, most importantly, allow the team to recuperate a little before pushing on. Perhaps send them to the Bahamas for a while? About a year would be perfect :o)

Anyway... gladly... Red Bull Kart Fighter 3 Appears to be a mahooosive success, whooohooo!

The game launched in the App-store on the 18th (yesterday) and already it's rocketed up the chart. Within about 24 hours it was the #1 racing game in most territories worldwide and right now it's sitting at #20 in the overall chart in the UK which is fricking amazing. The full marketing campaign starts on the 25th next week so goodness knows what'll happen then!

Anyway - if you happen to be one of the (very) few people who haven't downloaded it yet then get on it!

iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id657317760

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.kempt.KartFighter3

And let us know what you think on the shiny-new Kempt Facebook page!: https://www.facebook.com/kemptgames

Enjoy!Chris Kempthttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990895453610830060.post-31217683804888413442013-07-19T14:14:00.000+01:002014-01-29T20:44:59.863ZOkay... change of plan...Hi There - Chris here - sorry it's been so long since we've been in touch, it's long past time for me to explain.

At the end of last year / beginning of this year things at Kempt HQ went totally mental. We had a series of technical issues - mostly relating to our switch from PC to Mac (and our existing infrastructure not playing ball), massive illness in the team - everyone was out for the count several times - and also several of our commercial projects (which pay the bills at the end of the day) massively over-ran.

Nevertheless we did plough on with Bar Fight. We tried the first prototype, but neither of us (you or us) felt it was good enough so we tried some other simple prototypes in Flash which - frankly - weren't good enough either and so we didn't release them. In hindsight though, we should have communicated what was going on to you - our clients - and for that I am extremely sorry. I can only say that - when you're under attack from all sides, you sometimes feel like you have no choice but to hunker down and try and dig your way out of the situation.

However, throughout this time we have also continued to develop the Stunt Guy universe and, it's fair to say that the plans have developed somewhat. We now have a much clearer picture of what we're creating here and where it should go next.

Now that we've finished the last of our major projects (the really big one got released today but it would be crass to promote it here) the Stunt Guy project is firmly back on the radar and (I hope you'll be pleased to know) it's going to be bigger and better than ever. The plans however are going to change a little - but I hope you'll agree that was always going to be the case right?!

Anyway - I'll be in touch shortly with more information but, in the meantime, let me confirm a few details:

1) For the time being BFL has been taken off the App store just in case anyone buys in without realising what they are getting themselves into.

2) Since it's been so long we think it's only fair to give the rest of you - our backers - a chance to decide what *you* want to happen next - this time it's not a vote - it'll be your personal choice.

3) We'll give you a series of options of what to do with your investment these are likely to include:

Receiving a refund for your investment + 50% interest

Migrating your investment into the re-vamped project.

Donating you investment + 100% interest to a charity of your choice.

However in addition - to say thanks for your belief in the project thus far there will be an additional gift for every backer (regardless of investment) which is likely to be a limited edition Stunt Guy comic and sought-after glow in the dark skulls tee-shirt.

So... there you go. I hope that sounds good to you? Sorry again and personally I'm really looking forward to getting back to it!Guy Stunthttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990895453610830060.post-54313194251492661382013-07-12T19:43:00.001+01:002013-07-12T19:56:56.487+01:00Kart Fighter 3 - Coming Soon to an iPhone near you!The time is nigh... after nearly 12 months slog the latest instalment in the Kart Fighter saga is almost with us. Last night Apple approved the submission build for Kart Fighter 3 - Unbeaten Tracks which means there's no going back now! For good or for bad (it'll be good, honest!) the epic follow-up to Kart Fighter World tour will be launching on the 18th July (Thurs Next week).

The team have worked themselves to near exhaustion on this one but, based on the reactions of the testers, it was definitely worth it. So... tune in to the app-store next week and in the meantime you can enjoy the awesome trailer!

Oh... and for those of you who don't speak Apple - it'll be on android and a bunch of different other platforms in due course.Chris Kempthttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990895453610830060.post-50767551053992652042013-07-09T21:57:00.000+01:002013-07-09T22:14:49.469+01:00Kempt is 10... time to look old.Ladies and Gentlemen - a new era has arrived... and it's the 19th century!

Today we launch part one of what might well be the world's slowest rebrand. We've been working on it for nearly a year already and, frankly (unless we can find a good front-end developer) we might well still be working on it in another 12 months! But... part one is done... Phew.

Thus far our rebrand consists of:

A logo

An image

And an under construction page.

All are fricking amazing though and huge props to Kit, Al, Fryer and Ben for their sterling work on it.

However we also have a secret weapon... courtesy of Mr Richard Oram who finished off the identity work and prep'd it for print and the wonderful people at Solways, one of England's finest printers. We have what is purported to be the world's most awesome business card.

After the print work was finished Tim was so excited that he sent me a lovely email

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhh – stunning results - Great design, print and paper working together.... The best ever."
Together with a lovely pic:

You can see more info about the project over on the Solways blog where you can even order a sample! What are you waiting for? These things cost me a fortune so you're not getting one from me!

Joke Tim... sorry :o) Actually they were very reasonable for what they were and the service we received was impeccable.

So... hope you like it! Check out Chris's blog for a little bit more info.

We all know Red Bull as purveyors of fine energy beverages, owners of an all-conquering F1 team and sponsors of every daredevil/head-case that ever revved a motor bike or fell to Earth from space. Followers of Kempt will also know that Red Bull are hugely into games and have a pretty tasty back catalogue of their own (we've made four of 'em).

Now, with a little help from Kempt, they've brought all their titles together in the Red Bull Games portal, a home to their exclusive content and a destination for gamers across the world.

Built by Kempt (with the sterling assistance of ace freelance talent Paul Davis and Tom Gillett) the site isn't just a games list but features the kind of gamification that really works - possibly because it's on a games site.

The portal is a well-spoken global beast, localised for over 25 territories and 5 languages. It also has an idea what you want, serving platform-specific content in layouts to suit desktop PCs, mobiles and tablets.

You can check out the throughly modern Red Bull Games portal at http://games.redbull.com

We're asking for submissions of teams of 2 - 4 people to take part in the 90 minute race, to finally answer the question: who is Canterbury's Ultimate Networker? The winner will also take home the prize of the Ultimate Networking Trophy:

(note the excellent symbology with the router and cables)
Of course, the emphasis isn't really on "networking" here, more on having fun, inhaling a lot of 4stroke fumes and realising our inner competitive streak is no way near as good as we thought it really was.

 Why should i attend this ludicrous event?
Because it's going to be a lot of fun. And hopefully your boss is going to pay for you to attend. If they don't then simply invite them along, make sure they beat all the other agencies and then ask for a promotion.

 Sounds Good - What are the details?!
Venue: http://www.bayfordkarting.co.uk (nr Sittingbourne, ME10 3RY or http://goo.gl/maps/IUbyy)
Date/Time: 25th of April @ 7:30pm
Team Size: 2-4, min 2 driver changes.
Cost: £140 per team/kart
Prize: Honour/Superb trophy donated by Kempt.
How to reserve your place: We'll be inviting people over the next week or two but alternatively ask the person that sent this to you or get in contact here.

What are Go Karts?
i. Go Karts are miniature cars, that run on excitement and bacon fat (vegetarian options available)
ii. Go Karts are also a small plump fruits found on the sandy soils of the amazon basin. Amazonian warrior women use the husk of the go-kart as a ceremonial head decoration as reward for defeating a bear in on-on-one combat.

Bu what did you think of it? Alongside this initial demo we asked you to give us your feedback by voting on the following question:

Q: What do you think of the demo's touch controls?

Just right (same again in the next update)

Getting there (I'd like to see the controls develop more)

Try again (I would like an alternative)

The results were something of a surprise - and another notable landmark in democratic development:

Just right - 5.7%

Getting there - 45.7%

Try again - 48.6%

That's right, nearly half of you asked us to 'try again' which pretty much means 'go back to the drawing board'!

Well, that's the deal. The winning vote decides what we do next and so we're beginning the process of coming up with new controls for you. The downside to this is that it's going to push everything back a little and we want to take extra care to make sure the next version of the prototype gets a resounding thumbs up from you. We've got some thoughts on how we might get this to you quicker but please be patient – we're starting again!Guy Stunthttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990895453610830060.post-69478922143487709402012-10-26T12:52:00.002+01:002012-10-26T13:01:21.159+01:00Kempt Game Hijacked by Ling Valentine

It's said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and we all enjoy spotting 'influences' in the latest releases.

What you don't often see is a game grabbed by the throat and hacked into an astounding new form by a Chinese car super-saleswoman. That's exactly what happened when Ling Valentine - the car lease phenomenon and Dragons Den-defying marketing one-off - got her hands on our very own Stunt Guy - The Getaway game.

For those not yet up to speed with Ling's unique approach it's well worth checking out her website, lingscars.com, an object lesson in doing it your own way. And that's exactly what she did to our game!

So what happens when a legendary stunt man meets a Chinese typhoon? Predictably enough, total nuclear destruction - check it out: http://j.mp/LINGiOS

Trawling car boot sales and charity shops isn't just a past time, it's an archaeological vocation, saving the significant from obliteration. Recently we dug up this little gem, an original 1980s LCD Stunt Guy game.

Here's a little tease of something we've been working on recently. You'll find out what this is very soon, in the meantime hit us up with your guesses in the comments below or on Facebook.Guy Stunthttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990895453610830060.post-87789729574861843882012-10-11T12:48:00.000+01:002012-10-12T12:51:23.185+01:00BIMA D-Day Schools Challenge

We were fortunate enough to be part of yesterday's BIMAD-Day schools initiative, a national event aimed at closing the skills gap in the digital industry. Across the country digital agencies attended local schools to mentor a day of digital creativity with the students. <o:p></o:p>

Our welcoming hosts were Chaucer Technology School, here in Kempt's home town of Canterbury and appropriately enough we were to mentor a class taking up the Mobile Apps challenge with the aim of submitting the results to be judged in this national contest. Right up our street!<o:p></o:p>

After getting over the shock of being back in school (so much has changed, so much is exactly the same!) we settled into our roles of pseudo-supply teachers to a room full of thirty Year 9s - "Year nine, YEAR NINE!!!" became a regular refrain throughout the day! Fortunately the class seemed to respond well to the day and were genuinely engaged. <o:p></o:p>

Like most schools the suite of computers wasn't the most current but the creative process isn't just about the speed of your processor and the version of your software. The ideas began to fly around the room from the word go, fuelled by a strong understanding of how apps work and a freedom to think up new possibilities. We had ideas from the practical - very useful medical and personal security apps - to the fantastically fanciful - pet translators and open-ended games that tapped into your dreams!<o:p></o:p>

One thing that struck us was how much time was actually spent on the class PCs - just an hour in the afternoon. To us this seemed like a good balance as what makes this industry so exciting isn't the technology itself but what the possibilities it creates. However, we also left the students with a Flash demo app to pull apart and recreate. It's when you understand technology that things get really interesting - it fuels your imagination and turns brilliant ideas into brilliant products. <o:p></o:p>

In particular we've been looking at the game environment - after all, every Bar Fight needs a bar!

Here's a sneaky peek at what we've been working on - a classic saloon bar. Note that it's ACTUALLY a movie set, built on the Hollywood back lot that Stunt Guy calls home:

As you may know, the plan has always been to release a new build every 3 to 4 weeks, get your feedback and then whizz out a new build in another few weeks.

Reality has bitten. We're going to need a little longer.

Before you wail and gnash your teeth we're only talking a bit longer - about 4 to 6 weeks. This should give us enough time to cater for cock-ups and 'unforeseen eventualities' (such as the version with the prototype getting rejected first time out by Apple 'cause it saved videos to the device in a way they didn't expect) and allow us to get even more of your feedback into the game.

So please bear with us for that little bit longer between builds, to balance things out we'll be keeping this blog updated with even more stuff so you don't miss a thing.Guy Stunthttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990895453610830060.post-9560265412859616122012-09-04T12:37:00.000+01:002013-11-01T12:40:30.745ZThe Getaway

Multi-Use Play Structure and Screen
I would have gone crazy for something like this as a child. With just a little imagination this structure, essentially 3 pieces of wood hinged together on casters, becomes a play house, a fort, a puppet stage, or store front. The peek-a-boo holes and chalkboard paint are a nice touch too.
When it's not in use, it could screen off a messy toy area or it looks like it would fold relatively flat for storage too. Well, this particular rendition, the Biombo Kasbah, is inspired by Moroccan Kasbahs and adorned with traditional Moroccan fabrics from the Atlas Mountain region and will set you back almost €400. This may not fit in with everyone's budgetary plans; I'm pretty sure there wasn't a line for that in my family's budget growing up, but with the right materials and a bit of know-how, this could make a pretty cool diy project too.

I know what my kids are getting for christmas! *grabs drill*
One slight problem: If you straighten the sides it will fall over. Even if you have one of the sides and the middle panel straight it would fall over pretty easily. You could probably modify the design to keep either of the sides from straightening completely, but as is it could smash the younguns.
@SteveThreePO even with those casters? it seems like it would sort of stabilize it a bit because it would move sideways if bumped. I wish I knew more, but maybe it's not really that tall?

The prices these days and disappointing meals
We went to Americana yesterday for the first time (I know, I know) and had lunch at Frida. Spent over $100 for 3 people on mediocre Mexican food. Shoulda known better. But how about Langham Huntington Hotel for lunch, formerly Ritz, a special occasion a few months ago, expensive for a barely average meal? (note that the hotel public areas looked a little worn compared to old times, as well). There have been more of these experiences than I care to remember.
To be positive, we enjoyed lunch at Anisette recently which seemed a good value for the excellent quality. But that's in Santa Monica (traffic & gas). We also enjoyed Wilshire for another occasion a few months ago.
But the pricey, blah food experiences are painful these days, & though I enjoying cooking a lot, I really appreciate meals out for the occasional break.
But what to do?? Anyone else feeling this way? How can you be sure your money won't be wasted?
I would appreciate any new recs for areas near Mt. Washington for delicious meals which don't break the bank during these times. Nice ambiance is appreciated. TIA
re: SauceSupreme
Okay, perhaps I didn't pose my query well. The brow is lowered.
If we are going to splurge on lunch for a special event, we are disappointed to spend high prices on a mediocre meal.
I was hoping for suggestions.
re: Babette
Did you happen to catch this recent review of Cliff's Edge? While this is a dinner report I think you might enjoy yourselves at brunch there eating outside on their beautiful patio.
re: Servorg
Thank you. We haven't tried Cliff's Edge yet but that's the kind of suggestion I was hoping for. Any tips for what to order?
re: Babette
I tried the poached eggs on the crab hash with the red and green salsas and thought it was tasty. Their whole brunch menu looked pretty good to me.
re: Servorg
Great burgers and Bloddy Mary's on the brunch meno too.
I'm not familiar with Mt. Washington but I empathize. The SO and I are regulars at Square One and we've noticed a strong price jump, the saving grace being the food is as good as ever there so it's still worth it, just on a less frequent basis.
I consistently find myself at a loss when it comes to eating out in Santa Monica/Venice. The places that aren't mediocre are expensive, and the ethnic options leave much to be desired.
re: fooddude37
I will second the recommendation for Palate, however, it is NOT inexpensive. My party felt that, for the quality of the food, the price was warranted, but it was $80 per person (including tax and tip).
re: DanaB
I noted that it is fairly priced, not inexpensive. I feel that Palate falls in the same price range as Lou. If you eat a full meal accompanied by wine, it will not be cheap. It is in juxtaposing that with a meal at the Huntington Hotel or Anisette that it becomes "fairly priced" in my book.
re: fooddude37
I sympathize; the Chowspouse has taken me to a bunch of out-of-town business meetings this year, and I mostly have been way happier, everywhere from Boston to Vancouver to LA in Chowhound rec'd holes-in-the-wall than in the various "fine dining" establishments, at which we have dropped beaucoup (often deductible) bucks.
I'm walking a fine line between chowspouse's demand for ambiance and my demand for bang-for-buck these days...
So, to answer your question, and respond to some of the suggestions:
Though their food is interesting, the consensus seems to be that Lot 1 won't be "inexpensive", unless you and other members of your party tend to eat like wanna-be-runway-models. . . . and the "ambiance" is . . um. . . unusual.
15 is worth a go, for you, even outside of the "special", which, as noted elsewhere, is now $19, not $15. Their wines by the glass a re pretty good, too...
Aroma, like 15, doesn't look like much on the outside, but they're perfectly presentable on the inside, and they apply the $$$ they're NOT spending for Santa-Monica-"almost-ocean-view" rent to getting really good ingredients for their specials.
Chichen Itza never disappoints, always priced reasonably; see if the tasting menu's back up.
Clif's Edge is "pretty", and the food's pretty good.
There's more, but I've got to go earn a living, so I can eat in places like these....
r gould-saltman no avatar
re: silverlakebodhisattva
Thanks for these suggestions. We will put 15 and Aroma on a to try list and will explore Lot 1 further. And thanks for the reminder about Chichen Itza.
re: Baron
This is a topical thread for me too. Last week someone asked me what restaurants were my CURRENT favorite. I was somewhat stumped. I've had some crummy experiences at the best, from Spago to Roy's to most places around the valley where I live. Sigh...at these prices, I expect everything to be high quality and well prepared. There's just no excuse! I did like my recent meal at the Lobster, and also at the Nook, but I was hard pressed to add more. Getting to restaurants in mid-LA is geographically undesirable, but the cost of some of the others nearby makes me cringe!
I'm cooking at home a bit more now. Compudad seems to prefer it!
re: Babette
Last time I was at the Taix, I had the best trout almondine in ages which came with perfect mashed pototoes and vegies. They do a fresh soup of the day and a special entree each day which on Friday was clam chowder. Fresh and perfect. And they dont just give you a cup or bowl, but a whole terine which they will refill. Their french bread is very good as well as is the service. The lunch and dinner prices are a real bargain,They also have a huge collection of wines at fair prices. Wish I lived closer.
re: Babette
The roast chicken at Taix is also very good.
re: Babette
I'm afraid that the food at Taix is somewhat hit-and-miss. There are those of us who never quite got over their switch from sourdough bread with the soup. While the Chowspouse still favors the soup, and the roast chicken's pretty consistent, their duck has been OK sometimes, and once or twice so over-cooked as to be nearly inedible.
Certainly, when they're on, they can hardly be beat in the "bang for buck" category...
re: silverlakebodhisattva
Sad to hear the negatives about the Taix. I've only been a few times over the years for lunch so I guess I've been lucky, as I've always enjoyed the meal and the check. It's not Spago, that's for sure, but you can carry on a conversation without having to shout. And it is a little like a geriatric ward which lends to the history of the place. I think it's one of LA's oldest restaurants. I will give it another try.
re: Babette
the pot roast is dreadful - as in shoe leather dreadful!
I think it may be a Sunday special, or at least it was when I had it.
Truly avoid at any and all costs.
In fact, most of their food is nothing more than ho-hum!
Wine list is ok, yet I can find that in many places that serve MUCH better food. and the ambiance is even worse, as in old folks home worse!
re: carter
Couldn't agree more about Taix's food.
Only reason to go to Taix is to rubberneck at the city's powerbrokers and their lunch time "dates" ...
I agree with all of you, I am tired of spending money on mediocre food. My hubby and I like a lot of smaller restaurants. One of our favorites, out of the way is La Casita Mexicana, inexpensive but the quality is always up there and it is fresh. If you want to spend more, the place that has never disappointed me is Pane E. Vino. They have a beautiful patio, and the prices are not bad. The steak is about 38, but it is really good and comes with roast potatoes and fresh veggies. They have great pastas, chicken, fish at resonable prices. They don't rush you, and very relaxing.
Also enjoy Cayenne, on Beverly, everything under $20, and it is really good. Try their breakfasts too.
re: paprkutr
La Casita Mexicana is "out of the way" for most people, but it's great! My boyfriend and I made the "trek" out there last week. Great prices, delicious food. You can't really ask for more.
Since I don't live near your neck of the woods, can't offer specific suggestions, but second the earlier poster about ethnic food, especially family run joints. I'll give just a few examples of many, Enrique's for Mexican chow in East Long beach, Al Noor for Pakistani in Lawndale, and Cal Fish in Gardena, Cypress & Irvine for simple but spanking fresh fish with Mex accents. These and myriad others give you fair bang for the buck -- reasonable prices, nice people, generous portions, caring if not fancy preparation. In fact, most of our chowing out these days is in family run ethnics and frankly, we're loving it.
I celebrated 4th of July with my wife and her siblings at Napa Rose. I ordered what chowhounders recommended such as the rabbit bratwurst, though it wasn't bad, it wasn't great either. Mushroom risotto was undercooked and too salty, had to send that one back to the kitchen along with another over salted tai snapper of my sister in law's. The risotto came back cooked but the chef were once again very generous with the salt, either that or the stock itself is dreached in salt. My lamb was also salty but I didn't bother sending it back. The only winner of the night was my wife's salad, it was vey refreshing with the sweetness coming from the dried cranberries and saltiness from the blue cheese. For a bill close to $300 with drinks, it was very dissapointing.
I think I saw fellow chowhound kevineat but I wasn't sure.
You may already be familiar with these places, but I love the food at Farfalla (Italian) and Tropicalia (Brazilian) on Hillhurst in Los Feliz. Tropicalia is definitely the less expensive and more casual of the two. You can't go wrong ordering off the specials menu at Farfalla--their fish is always good and any of the apps with burrata are fantastic. It's just fresh, solid Italian food.
What about Bistro Provence in Burbank on Pass? It's in a Vons shopping center, but the inside is quite nice. They have pretty good French-style food for very reasonable prices. I believe it's three courses for less than $30.
I walked into Frida at Americana, looked at the menu, and walked out. Overpriced food is maddening. And by overpriced, I mean cost compared to what you get. I think in terms of opportunity cost: for those same dollars I could get a fabulous meal at x or x.
Lot 1 is a hop, skip and jump from Mt. Washington, or just a hop and skip. The food is so creative, really wonderful, and an exceptional value for the price.
re: slacker
Well, you might want to hold your thoughts regarding Lot 1, as Centeno is leaving on July 31, as in Thursday, as in tomorrow!
re: carter
yeah. So sad. "Going underground"??? This is really bad news for the L.A. food world. And for my personal taste buds. I'll be there for the last supper.

COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) - Union City village president Bill Avery pleaded with Branch County Commissioners Tuesday to have the Commission and officials in other communities in the county to work together to do whatever is necessary to keep the county a safe place to live.
Avery expressed his views as the Branch County Sheriff's Department is beginning 2013 with only a bare-bones road patrol after budget cuts brought the layoff of nearly a dozen deputies. Avery knows somewhat first hand what the Board is experiencing. He's a former County Commissioner and in November, a village tax levy proposal to help pay for a police officer went down to defeat. It lost by just two votes after a recount while a county-wide millage increase on the ballot this fall to fund the road patrol was sounded rejected.

Help me decide.....someplace new and exciting
Mr MG's birthday coming up and looking for someplace special.
So many new places we've not been and don't know which to choose. Woodlot, Campagnolo, Acadia, Enotecoa Sociale...
I haven't been to Acadia yet.
My dinners at Enoteca Sociale and Campagnolo were among the best dinners I had in Toronto in 2011. I'd probably choose Campagnolo for a special birthday because the tables are spaced a little further apart than they are at Enoteca Sociale, where the tables can seem crowded. Campagnolo has somewhat cold, modernist/minimalist atmosphere, whereas Enoteca has a warmer, Old World, with lots of wood atmosphere.
I haven't been to Woodlot since last spring.
I haven't been to L'Ouvrier http://louvrier.ca/ or Keriwa Cafe http://keriwacafe.ca/ yet. Might be worth considering as alternatives.
2012 thread comparing Woodlot & Acadia:
comprehensive thread on Woodlot:
Enoteca Sociale
1288 Dundas St W, Toronto, ON M6J, CA
832 Dundas St. W, Toronto, ON , CA
re: prima
I found L'Ouvrier to be... I guess maybe unexciting is the word I'm looking for... the food was solid but lacking that certain something to push it over the top. The room to me was really cold (i mean in vibe not in temperature) but part of the problem may have been that we were almost the only small party there a night that someone had bought out 1/2 the room for a company party.
it's been a long time since i've been to woodlot (i like it, but it's fallen off the radar as a place i would bring up), acadia needs a retry (my first visit was not good, not terrible but not good) and i'm not sure how enoteca sociale has changed with grant now being there.... but i just went to campagnolo for the first time and was very very happy with the experience. apps reigned supreme - truffle paste laden beef carpaccio with dungeness crab and oxtail ragout over bone marrow. also really appreciated a well made sponge toffee in their budino... it crumbled into softness the way i like vs being too chewy and stuck into my teeth. it did feel more "private" than any of the other spots...
re: pinstripeprincess
pp your post has me leaning towards Campagnolo.
Although Acadia and Woodlot sound interesting and they are on our list - for this particular evening I'm looking for something - I dunno - maybe more sophisticated??
I wish we had a LeFilet here in Toronto cuz that is exactly what I'm looking for. Hmmm maybe a trip back to Mistura?
re: millygirl
What about Le Canard Mort?
re: millygirl
more pub-y
re: iMarilyn
Yes I realized that as soon as I checked out their menu....thanks iMarilyn.
re: millygirl
Yours Truly?
Wish Mr. MG a happy birthday...
re: Cam D
Ahh thanks Cam D, I will.
I've read about it and it did sound interesting but....I dunno. Have you been? I guess we are so behind that I thought we should check out some of the older spots first.
Even Nota Bene and Splendido came to mind...it's been awhile.
Damn, I wish he'd just pick...this is getting complicated and I can't decide because my list is long but they all seem the same to me.
re: millygirl
I've been to all of these places in the last few months, with my first trip to Yours Truly being last night. I just don't know that I would consider any of these options to be both exciting and special. Campagnolo may come the closest, yet, food-wise, I'd only put them into the middle of this pack.
I might best agree with your last post. Use dining date night and do Splendido right for a very special evening...some may even call their game and truffle tastings exciting!
re: millygirl
I haven't been but I've only heard good things. Same with Acadia.
Le Canard Mort was just ok.
Campagnolo was great.
Enoteca heard great things.
Woodlot was very good.
Don't think you are going to go wrong regardless.
re: millygirl
i'm going to agree with some of the other comments that i don't think any of the spots in your original list speak to me as a special night out. they hit the higher end casual really well, ie. the food is a little more than maybe a regular spot but the decor and atmosphere a bit laid back, spare, or service a little too casual or at times inconsistent.
can't go wrong with a trip to splendido or mistura.
re: pinstripeprincess
I agree with pinstripeprincess that most of the restaurants are a little laid back, especially compared to Splendido or Mistura.
Not sure if the food at Modus would be at a similar level to Mistura. It's fairly new. I'm guessing it might not be exciting or innovative as some of the more casual restaurants already mentioned, but it might be a good place for a special dinner. http://modusristorante.com/

88 Harbord Street, Toronto, ON M5S 1G5, CA
re: Googs
Adding to my confusion -
Boehmer - but again all three seem the same - I mean sausage and mashed potato, okay I;m sure it's very tasty but I could easily do at home. We want something a little more exciting.
thought of George - although we were there very recently so would like something else.
Too bad Canoe isn't open on weekends - we've never been but it strikes me as a 'special' spot.
Help. If I don't make a decision tonight we may end up at the golden arches. I'm looking at this Saturday!!!
re: millygirl
Hey MG,
Was at Enoteca recently - absolutely loved it. Although agree with other posts, may be a bit too casual for a special occaission.... Same with Woodlot.
Loire and Boehmer are both just okay -- food is just alright, and atomosphere is pretty standard. I wouldn't say they're 'special-occaision-worthy.
Went to Ici Bistro just before Christmas.. it was fabulous. And the mood / ambience is bit more refined and more romantic. I would say definitely go to Ici (if you can snag a rez!)
Have heard great great things about Campagnolo, but haven't been yet.
How about Auberge de Pomier?
or Bymark? -- I know, usually thought of as a Bay St type of place, but the subterrainian room, and warm interior are really nice. And their Lobster Poutine is to die for.
Happy Anniversary!
re: millygirl
How about Chiado? It's a good choice if you like fish. I've never had a bad meal there and the service is fine also. Or are only the new places in town on your list?
re: foodyDudey
Hi foodyDudey, yes, correct. We are looking for someplace new.
I have a nice list of special 'old' places i.e. Mistura, Scaramouche, and as I noted above Nota Bene, George, and Pastis.
However that's just it - this time around we would like to try a 'new' place - which again, is something we don't do often as you can see from the list of places we've not been.
re: millygirl
I found the online reservation process for Ici Bistro to be spectacularly easy. Do it now though. As others have mentioned, with a couple of dozen seats, it fills quickly.
I don't usually disagree with CamD but a big NO to Yours Truly.
Really like Enoteca but don't think it's what you are looking for this time around. Don't know what to suggest but I suspect Ici would fit the bill best in your case, however, I'm skeptical you will be able to secure a reservation this late in the game. Good luck MG.
Hi millygirl - you and I often like the same spots so for what it's worth, I didn't love Campagnolo. The food was quite good but I really didn't find the space warm or romantic at all. i much prefer Woodlot or Enoteca over it - and I have Ici, Acadia and Keriwa on top of my list. Have you been to Beast? It tends to fly under the radar (meaning you will be able to get a reservation for Saturday). I think there's real talent in that kitchen and they couldn't be nicer. Other options, if you haven't been...Harbord Room? Delux? Opus?
re: peppermint pate
Hi peppermint pate, I've not been to Beast. Looks good but again, a little more casual than I was hoping.
Seems that Mr. MG is leaning towards Modus. I'm just hoping it's not disappointing.
Thanks everyone for all the input. Really appreciate it. I do intend to get to some of these spots - esp. Ici, Enotoca and Woodlot but another time.
re: millygirl
I haven't been to Modus either, but if you can judge a chef by his menu alone, I'd say I like the way he blends his sweets and savouries in many of the dishes. It, I'll admit, provoked a little mouthwatering. Good luck. I hope you and Mr MG have a great night.

National Rural Water Association
2915 S. 13th Street
Duncan, OK 73533
Contact: Chris Wilson, email@example.com
August 4, 2009
Directors trained as emergency response Incident Commanders
NEW ORLEANS, La. – Executive Directors are scrambling to set-up staging areas and organizesupplies – a hurricane is moving toward the coast. Plans have to be reviewed, equipment secured and staff prepared: Luckily this hurricane is only a drill. The exercise, named Hurricane Alpha, was part of the detailed emergency response training during the National Rural Water Association's Executive Director In-Service, held late July in New Orleans.
"This training is very similar to what we provided to the field staff in May, but it was focused more for the directors," said Patrick Credeur, executive director of the Louisiana Rural Water Association, and one of the directors leading the training.
Executive Directors lead the state rural water associations that provided training and technical assistance to small utilities in every state. Field staff members from each state association were trained the emergency response at the in-service held in May. That training session included training on safety, assessment and the installation of emergency power generators. The director's training session was less focused on hands-on skills.
"This training was set-up to prepare executive directors to be incident commanders during an emergency," explained Gary Williams, executive director for the Florida Rural Water Association, and another leader in emergency response. "It's to further the leadership of rural water in emergency response."
"Incident commander" is a term for the individual coordinating and making decisions during an association's response to an emergency. Executive directors have taken on the role during past emergencies and disaster, but this is the first time those directors will have the training to prepare them.
"We talked to them about setting up command centers and staging areas," Credeur explained. "We talked to them about setting up standard operating procedures and plans."
Directors got a chance to try their new skills during a table-top training exercise. The scenario, titled Hurricane Alpha, was modeled after a hurricane that hit the Florida Panhandle. The exercise poses questions relating to logistics, planning, budget and operations, the actual assistance being provided.
"It generated a lot of discussion about timelines and preparations," Williams said of the exercise.
The hurricane scenario allows for some warning and preparation, but other scenarios have much shorter warning.
"You have to prepare yourself, because there's no warning for tornadoes or flash floods," Credeur said.
The training didn't just focus on emergency pumps and power generators, but included a section on documentation, records and accounting.
"We taught them to document every receipt, record all the hours and mileage of their employees and track any purchases they make," Credeur said.
Williams explained that documentation is important, so that utilities and associations can seek reimbursement from state and federal agencies.
"It's all designed to be NIMS compliant," Williams said.
The National Incident Management System is a national system to coordinate emergency responses between several agencies. Ensuring rural water associations can operate within the NIMS system will allow them to coordinate with other agencies and better seek reimbursement for their efforts.
Each director received a Certificate of Demonstrated Competence in Incident Management for successfully completing the training. Both trainers considered the session a success and more training is planned for field staff.
"We had a lot of participation and generated a lot of discussion," Williams said.
"Several of the directors talked to us afterward and asked us to do another session for the field staff," Credeur added.

The index of sustainable economic welfare (ISEW) for a local authority: A case study in Italy
AbstractThe Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare (ISEW) has been calculated for many countries, but rarely at the local level. This paper shows how the index has been calculated for the Province of Siena, Central Italy. The whole procedure is illustrated step by step, including the search for the most suitable and precise methods to obtain reliable values for each item composing the index. Application of ISEW at a very local level was found to be feasible. The most general difficulty encountered was the lack of an adequate institutionalised source of statistical information to support the construction of indicators other than purely economic or demographic ones. The availability of data depends on the interest in implementing projects of sustainable management of natural resources and land on the part of local authorities and their consequent willingness to invest money and human resources on such projects. The ISEW is a good tool for local environmental policy, because it gives a more realistic representation of the well-being of the population than GDP, since it includes environmental and social items not considered in conventional national accounting. Furthermore, in Italy, the principle of administrative decentralization has been implemented in recent years to such an extent that the central government devolved part of its power to Regions, Provinces and Municipalities. Arguably, local authorities should therefore allocate more resources to pursue their policies towards sustainability, an issue which modern electoral campaigns are often based on. The results for the Province of Siena show that there is a large gap between local GDP and ISEW (about 37% of GDP).

McLaren plays down 'wild' Hamilton quit rumours
McLaren Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton of Britain looks on in his box during the second practice session of the Monaco F1 Grand Prix May 24, 2012.
Reports late last week said that despite McLaren offering the 2008 over $30 million per year to stay in 2013 and beyond, sources are hinting 27-year-old Hamilton has already decided to leave due to repeated team errors and a mysterious lack of pace.
At the same time, it has emerged there has been "serious contact" between McLaren and Paul di Resta, who ironically is managed by Hamilton's manager Anthony.
Writing in the Times, correspondent Kevin Eason dismissed the reports as "wild rumours" that McLaren have also felt the need to "react to".
"Hamilton has no desire to leave McLaren," he insisted, "a team that has provided at least two victories in every season of his career.
"Hamilton has repeatedly said that he was happy to stay with McLaren, even on Sunday night, after a disappointing Monaco grand prix", Eason added.
The journalist, however, conceded that Hamilton's management - led by XIX Entertainment's Simon Fuller - "are known to have contacted rivals", even though "no other approaches" with the exception of Red Bull have been made.
McLaren quoted Hamilton as saying last Friday: "Even though everything hasn't gone right for us, I'm confident that myself and the team are doing everything we can to ensure we're in the best possible position to challenge for victory each and every weekend."

PHOENIX (AP) - U.S. Customs and Border Protection says apprehensions of illegal border crossers in Arizona dropped to the lowest levels in 19 years for fiscal year 2012.
The agency reports apprehensions dropped to 124,631, and have fallen more than 82% since the highest numbers in 2000.
The number of agents stationed in Arizona, meanwhile, rose to the highest level with more than 5,100 in the state.
The agency says it also seized more than $500 million worth of illegal drugs in Arizona.
CBP reports that agents processed about 22 million travelers crossing through Arizona ports of entry, stopping roughly 6,000 people identified as national security risks or possessing insufficient documentation.
Operations aimed at cracking down on drug cartels, meanwhile, netted more than $5 million cash, handguns, rifles and ammunition.

Borders will close Federal Way book store
The Federal Way Borders store is among 28 additional stores — on top of 200 already announced — that will close by May, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Borders is blaming the economy, decreased customer spending and the changing ways in which Americans access reading materials on its need to file Chapter 11, according to a Feb. 16 press release.

Here, you can research different types of insurance and can find out what people are saying about different insurance companies. Your premium would be $85,000. Then, talk to an independent broker. The rules of the game are complex, but with the proper training, guidance, and vigilance, I still believe the practice of medicine is a satisfying and noble profession - now and in the future.
Regular Insurance Payments and the Advantages For You Don't make this mistake yourself---there are affordable options out there, you just need to know where to look. If you require emergency treatment you'll probably still go to a public hospital, but for any elective surgery (and sometimes things that are called elective feel very necessary!) Weigh pros and cons: After on-the-job accidents and injuries, people are often unable to work again for a very long time. Your usaa insurance bad faith will start as soon as you get off the phone. Compare your last year premium with others online if you think that your premium is to high. Between theft and accidental damage comprehensive coverage iPhone subscribers can account for 95% of risks to their devices. Until now. However, they may be willing to offer insurance on those items if you are willing to pay a premium. The difference is often reflected in the level of service and customer care.
It's estimated to reduce the deficit by more than $100 billion over the first decade, and by $1 trillion in the following decade. There are many resources online that offer you the ability to see an agent meets your criteria. There are two kinds of insurance agents. Although this option is often more convenient, it costs more for some reasons. Alabama But the good news is it is easy to correct most of this challenge and even without specialized training. Long-term care insurance, by contrast, is not health insurance but protection against progressive deterioration that leaves people incapable of caring for themselves either physically or mentally. You can imagine his surprise when this insurance company told him that he was "UNINSURABLE" in the state of Georgia.
This is why it is absolutely imperative that you get a plan that will cover everything that your family may need, be it routine doctor's visits, right up to catastrophic and unexpected events. Just remember not to start any permanent repairs until you are authorized by the adjustor. The provider's fee, the cost of the surgery or the cost of a nursing home is difficult to meet up without insurance. The movie itself was a disaster and achieved hardly any box office success, but the soundtrack did go double platinum. Some riders find that riding a scooter most of the time in urban areas will outperform a larger motorbike with regards to fuel economy and ease of use. If a person is a responsible driver and this happens due to some emergency, then it is a plus point as one could avoid getting his/her license canceled or confiscated. Shopping for cheap house insurance is shopping around many factors. See how to lower the cost of acquiring experienced agents in half, and get more response.

For this wrap dress I used a pattern from http://www.stoffochstil.se/. My boyfriend thinks it looks like a roman or greek dress, I have to say I agree to that. But with a modern touch of course :)

NASA captures 360 degree views of dancing lights of Saturn
Story supplied by LU Press Office
"Glamorous" images of the dancing lights around Saturn have been captured in greater detail than ever before, thanks to two NASA spacecraft.
Lancaster University researchers are part of the international team analysing the new films captured by NASA's Cassini spacecraft (orbiting around Saturn) and Hubble Space Telescope (orbiting around Earth), which together provide a spectacular 360-degree view of Saturn's auroras.
While NASA's Hubble Space Telescope was able to observe the northern auroras in ultraviolet wavelengths, NASA's Cassini spacecraft got close-up views of the north and south in infrared, visible-light and ultraviolet wavelengths.
Marcia Burton, a Cassini fields and particles scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California said: "The auroras at Saturn are some of the planet's most glamorous features "and there was no escaping NASA's paparazzi-like attention."
The images, taken in April and May of 2013, provide the best view yet of the intriguing light displays and help shed light on an unsolved mystery.
Dr Sarah Badman, a Cassini Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer team associate at Lancaster University, said: "Scientists have wondered why the high atmospheres of Saturn and other gas giants are heated far beyond what might normally be expected given their distance from the sun.
"We know there must be other energy interactions going on to cause this heating, but we can't yet say for sure what they are. From the Earth, we can only see part of the picture, but by looking at these amazing new movies from the vantage points of both Cassini and the Hubble Space Telescope, we can see exactly where the aurora is heating Saturn's atmosphere and for how long. Being able to track the aurora all around Saturn's poles is vital if we are to discover how its atmosphere is heated."
The University of Leicester's Jonathan Nichols, who led the work on the Hubble images, said: "Saturn's auroras can be fickle - you may see fireworks, you may see nothing. In 2013, we were treated to a veritable smorgasbord of dancing aurora, from steadily shining rings to super-fast bursts of light shooting across the pole."
The visible light data has also helped scientists figure out the colours of Saturn's auroras. While the curtain-like auroras we see on Earth are green at the bottom and red at the top, Cassini's imaging cameras have shown similar curtain-like auroras on Saturn that are red at the bottom and purple at the top.
Ulyana Dyudina, an imaging team associate at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California, said: "While we expected to see some red in Saturn's aurora because hydrogen emits some red light when it gets excited, we also knew there could be color variations depending on the energies of the charged particles bombarding the atmosphere and the density of the atmosphere. We were thrilled to learn about this colorful display that no one had seen before."
