Chestnuts in Seattle -- Where to go for a good value?
I've purchased them at the Ballard Market ($5.99/lb), and I know they are all around this time of year, but where should one go in Seattle to find a good value on chestnuts? I'm wanting to roast some this winter. Your thoughts will be appreciated!
Daynared -
Try in front of Uwajimaya. They're already roasted, but they might sell unroasted. I shop at a fruit and vegetable market in the ID - across the street from Kowloon restaurant on Jackson, where they might have them. There are a few really great markets in the ID and I'm sure you could find them there. GL.
As a variation, glazed chestnuts (marron glace) are available at some of the better chocolate shops around Seattle
re: mrnelso
I can confirm, PFI has them for $4.99/lb, or did as of Saturday.
re: terrier
Ancient thread, new question.
Is there local availability of a Chestnut called Marroni?
(BTW $5.95 seems about the going rate in 2009)
Tader Joe on Queen Anne (and likely everywhere) had them this evening for about 5 or 6 dollars for a one pound bag.
re: daynared
PFI price today $4.50
I'll have to check to be sure and will update, but if you're near a Ranch 99 you can see if they have fresh chestnuts. I've found they have "gourmet" items at lower cost than the fancy supermarkets.
For example, Fresh shiitakes at Ranch 99 are around $6/lb while other places carry shiitakes for $12/lb.
I haven't had good luck with the ones I've bought locally (grocery stores, Pike Place Market, etc.)--too many moldy ones and wicked hard to peel. For the past couple of years I've been mail-ordering them from Girolami Farms http://www.chestnutsforsale.com/ in California. Theirs are fresher (no rotten ones), they taste great, and they're a little easier to peel. You can order them for delivery when you want them (I have 3 lbs. of the 3 lbs. colossal-sized ones coming the week before Christmas).
They have Oregon Chestnuts at H-Mart in Federal Way for either $1.99 or $2.99/lb. I'm pretty sure it was $1.99. They also have a cart right outside the exit selling roasted chestnuts and they have a cart outside on the weekends selling awesome brown sugar and cinnamon filled pancakes for $1. I LOVE H-Mart so much!
H-Mart has Oregon Chestnuts for $1.99/lb and $2.99/lb for large chestnuts. The Oregon variety taste better IMO, but are smaller and require more effort to remove shells. They are located in Fed Way and Lynnwood. Pal-Do World (another Korean grocery store) also carries chestnuts for about the same price. They are located in Fed Way, Bellevue and Lynnwood.

A bistro (/ˈbiːstrəʊ/), sometimes spelled bistrot, is, in its original Parisian incarnation, a small restaurant serving moderately priced simple meals in a modest setting. Bistros are defined mostly by the foods they serve. French home-style cooking with robust earthy dishes, and slow-cooked foods like cassoulet, a bean stew, are typical.
Local. Seasonal. Fresh.

Vertemati is not alone amongst its fellow Italian factories in bobbing helplessly between solvency and insolvency. And on that basis alone it's a tough call to recommend them. However, the range of bikes they did make in-between crises are powerful, stiff, hard bastards that need an expert's hand to get anything like the best from them. The Vertemati Supermoto is ...

The KTM LC4 640 is KTM's popular supermoto stalwart – a rough, tough bugger that's a capable commuter, trackday sleeper and friend to the wannabe stunt monkey. It sits on the civilized side of the LC4 family, benefiting from an anti-vibe damper, and an electric start to complement the kicker. Like all supermotos it's as cheap as chips, geared for ...

The KTM 625 SMC sits between the no-compromise 660 SMC and the heavier, more road-oriented LC4s in KTM's supermoto line-up. But it's not there to make up the numbers. It's probably the pick of the bunch – combining the niceties of electric start with the harder race-spec SMC edge. New bikes come restricted to 30bhp but it takes about 10 ...

Until recently the Husaberg FS400 was one of the few over-the-counter supermotos available. It's a very raw experience, with a terrific induction noise from the airbox, which nestles between the frame tubes right under the seat a barking exhaust note and furious acceleration. However, it's not the most reliable bike.

TimeWarner and Disney have signed on for the test, which they hope will help to identify copyrighted content and prevent illegal uploads of the content.
Google has internally tested the tool, but these test will be their first "external" trial. They hope to complete testing and tweaking for a fall rollout. Of course, in February they said copyright protection would be ready "very soon" (days before they made us think they gave up by partnering with Audible Magic) and in April they told us it would be "a few weeks". If the tool is released before the end of the year, I'll be surprised. I'd like to be surprised, though.

I was picking the brain of a restauranteur for insight into things like Groupon. He confirmed what we all understand in the abstract: that these deals are terrible for the businesses that offer them; that they draw in nomadic deal hunters from a vast surrounding region who are unlikely to ever return; that most deal-hunters carefully ensure that they spend just the deal amount or slightly more; that a badly designed offer can bankrupt a small business. He added one little factoid I did not know: offering a Groupon deal is by now so strongly associated with a desperate, dying restaurant that professional food critics tend to write off any restaurant that offers one without even trying it.[more inside]
In short, Marriott is injecting JavaScript into the HTML of every webpage its hotel customers view for the purpose of injecting ads (and in the meantime, breaking YouTube). Marriott's wireless internet service provider is a third-party company called Hotel Internet Services, so it is possible, though unlikely, that Marriott doesn't know what's going on. But it's crazy to me that I'm paying $368 a night for a hotel room, and this is how I get treated.[more inside]

Entering Friday's match with Hamline, the Oles knew that if they continued to play the consistent tennis they had played all along, they would be well on their way to their best conference finish since 2002.
Hamline visited St. Olaf on Friday, a rescheduled contest suitable for what seemed like the first glimpse of sun in weeks. The Oles took advantage of the opportunity to play outside, ousting the Hammies 7-2 behind a solid sweep of doubles play.
In singles competition, Ian Pray '09, Drew Erie '08 and Patrick Curran '07 won in straight sets at no. 1, 3 and 5 singles, respectively, all in straight sets. David Narvaez '09 won a three-set decision at the fourth spot.
Following Friday's action, St. Olaf traveled to Arden Hills to battle Bethel, a match with a host of implications. If the Oles were to defeat the Royals, their chance of finishing third in the conference would be vastly improved. However, an unfortunate illness may have cost St. Olaf: The Oles' no. 5 singles and no. 2 doubles player, Curran, was forced to sit out. Chase Donaldson '08 then played the fifth spot and Erik Brekke '08 stepped in at no. 6. Bethel claimed both of these matches en route to a 5-4 Royal victory.
Tuesday, St. Olaf desperately needed to defeat an average St. Thomas team to salvage their loss to Bethel. Curran remained sidelined, and the Oles again missed his presence. St. Olaf lost two doubles matches and could not gain enough singles momentum to salvage the doubles miscues.
Losing 6-3, the Oles had the chance to win, but Pray and Brekke each lost third set super-tiebreakers.
Looking ahead, St. Olaf travels to Winona on Saturday for a match with St. Mary's. Match time is set for 1 p.m.

. I'm renting them online, so it takes time to watch them since I'm also watching another television series at the same time.
Rurouni Kenshin
is about this guy who is a former manslayer who decides to use a reverse-blade sword instead... while trying to maintain peace in medieval Japan.
Shadow Skill
is about this gal who's a martial arts fighter who represents a city as one of the top-rated fighters and as a "guardian". She has a little brother whom she trains with the same martial arts... while trying to defend the city from evil enemies seeking revenge for unknown reasons.
As for online, I watched
Death Note
last week. It's about this high school kid who finds a notebook called "Death Note". When you write people's names in it, they will die. While he's writing in the notebook, another person comes into the picture... trying to find out who this person is. Unfortunately, in order for the Death Note to work... the owner has to know the person's real name. Since the investigator's name is unknown, it becomes a battle of wits between the investigator and the killer.
The one I recently completed yesterday was
Onegai Teacher
. The English translation is
Please! Teacher
. It's about this high school kid witnesses an alien appearing at a nearby lake. He passes out and wakes up thinking it was a dream. He goes to school and finds out that he has a new teacher... who looks the same as the alien he saw in his dreams. When he goes home, he finds out that his new neighbor is his teacher. When he finally realizes who she really is, both are eventually caught together at school and his uncle covers it up by saying that they are married. So, they get married... in order to cover up their relationship... but there's more to it... what is it?
Right now, I'm watching
. It's about this high school girl who's a vampire. However, she's not your ordinary vampire. Yes, she does bite people to drink blood from them... but she also produces a lot of blood on her own. So, she suffers random severe nosebleeds from time to time when she is stressed out. She also doesn't suffer sunlight like the rest of her family does. Even more interesting is that their taste of blood is not based on the blood itself, but where the blood comes from. For instance, one vampire might like blood that comes from people who are liars while others come from people who are stressed. Lastly, she tries to hide her true identity while dealing with a new boy who has just transferred to her school.
Check out my city...

PORT ST. LUCIE - When investigators visited a Port St. Lucie house in July they found four pitbulls suffering from malnutrition and various injuries, according to an arrest affidavit.
One of the dogs, Lady, was euthanized because of its condition, the affidavit said.
The owner of the dogs, Michael Hill, 32, 2219 S.E. Morningside, Port St. Lucie, was arrested Aug. 16 and charged with four counts of animal cruelty.
The situation leading to his arrest was not the first time he was investigated on charges of animal cruelty or neglect, the affidavit said.
Animal control had responded 30 times to the same address since 2002, the affidavit said.
Of those, 15 involved how the animals were being kept and 10 of those complaints were valid, the affidavit said.
In four cases, including the latest, animals had to be removed from the property, the affidavit said.
Two animals were also removed on Sept. 2, 2011, the affidavit said.
"Within the case history, each member of the household was explained proper animal care and keeping and advised that they could be held responsible for the animals' care," the affidavit.
When investigators went to the property they found Bucky, a male pitbull, Blacky, a male pitbull, Lady Jr., a female pitbull and Lady, a female pitbull, the affidavit said.
Lady, the dog in the worst condition, had a body index score of one out of 10 and had part of its right lip and left ear missing, a non-treated fractured right leg that was not functional and possible infections, the affidavit said.
"Due to the horrible condition of the dog accompanied by the numerous medical issues, the veterinarian saw no alternative, but to recommend euthanasia to end her suffering," the affidavit said.
The condition of the other dogs, according to the affidavit, were:
. Bucky had a body index of three of 10, an injured leg with a 1-inch laceration and several other wounds.
. Lady Jr. was emaciated with a body index of two out of 10 and multiple wounds, including one on the left ear base and others on the head and legs.
. Blacky had a body index of three to four out of 10 and numerous wounds.
The affidavit noted the dogs were tethered in a way where they had little room for movement and no water was provided for Blacky.

The Real Loss in Afghanistan
By CDRSalamander
After noting the loss of Lt. Col. Raible and Sgt. Atwellt in the attack a week ago, it is natural for many to point out the irreplaceable nature of the AV-8B+ Harriers that were destroyed – our greatest loss of aircraft since the Tet Offensive in Vietnam.
While true, that is just the background. It is also true that every loss of life is significant, but in time except for those who know them – losses become a number or perhaps a thumbnail picture.
It is helpful when the opportunity presents itself to look a little deeper in to a loss. What was the character of those lost? What did they represent? What impact did they have on those they served with, the organizations they led, the services they were members of, and the nation that they gave the ultimate sacrifice?
Thanks to our friends over at SLD – we have a copy of Lt. Col Raible's Command Guidance. Read it. Ponder it. Compare it to your own. If you are someone soon to take Command and are working on one; here is your benchmark.
From: Commanding Officer, Marine Attack Squadron 211
To: Squadron Attack Pilots
Subj: COMMANDER'S GUIDANCE FOR SQUADRON ATTACK PILOTS
1. Professional hunger.
My goal is to identify those Officers who want to be professional attack pilots and dedicate the resources required to build them into the flight leaders and instructors that are required for the long-term health of our community. This is not a socialist organization. We will not all be equal in terms of quals and flight hours. Some will advance faster than others, and because this is not a union, your rate of advancement will have nothing to do with seniority. Your rate of advancement will instead be determined by your hunger, professionalism, work ethic, and performance.
If flying jets and supporting Marines is your passion and your profession, you are in the right squadron.
If these things are viewed simply as your job, please understand that I must invest for the future in others. Your time in a gun squadron might be limited, so it is up to you to make the most of the opportunities that are presented.
2. Professional focus.
Our approach to aviation is based upon the absolute requirement to be "brilliant in the basics."
Over the last few years Marine TACAIR has not punted the tactical nearly so often as the admin. Sound understanding of NATOPS, aircraft systems, and SOPs is therefore every bit as important as your understanding of the ANTTP and TOPGUN. With this in mind, ensure the admin portions of your plan are solid before you move onto objective area planning. Once you begin tactical planning, remember that keeping things "simple and easy to execute" will usually be your surest path to success. If the plan is not safe, it is not tactically sound.
3. Attitude.
I firmly believe in the phrase "hire for attitude, train for skill."
Work ethic, willingness to accept constructive criticism, and a professional approach to planning, briefing, and debriefing will get you 90% of the way towards any qualification or certification you are pursuing. The other 10% is comprised of in-flight judgment and performance, and that will often come as a result of the first 90%. Seek to learn from your own mistakes and the mistakes of others. Just as a championship football team debriefs their game film, we are going to analyze our tapes and conduct thorough flight debriefs. It has often been said that the success of a sortie is directly proportional to the caliber of the plan and brief. The other side of this coin is that the amount of learning that takes place as a result of a sortie is directly proportional to the caliber of the debrief.
4. Moral courage.
Speak up if something seems wrong or unsafe.
We all know what the standards are supposed to be in Naval Aviation and in the Corps. Enforce them! When we fail to enforce the existing standards, we are actually setting and enforcing a new standard that is lower.
5. Dedication.
If you average one hour per workday studying, 6 months from now you will be brilliant. That is all it takes; one hour per day. As you start to notice the difference between yourself and those who are unable to find 60 minutes, I want you to know that I will have already taken note.
Then, I want you to ask yourself this question: "How good could I be if I really gave this my all?"
6. When all else fades away, attack pilots have one mission: provide offensive air support for Marines.
The Harrier community needs professional attack pilots who can meet this calling.
It does not require you to abandon your family. It does not require you to work 16 hours per day, six days per week. It requires only a few simple commitments to meet this calling: be efficient with your time at work so that you can study one hour per day; be fully prepared for your sorties and get the maximum learning possible out of every debrief; have thick skin and be willing to take constructive criticism; find one weekend per month to go on cross country. When you are given the opportunity to advance, for those few days go to the mat and give it your all, 100%, at the expense of every other thing in your life.
To quote Roger Staubach, "there are no traffic jams on the extra mile."
If you can be efficient during the workweek, give an Olympian effort for check rides and certifications, and are a team player, the sky will literally be the limit for you in this squadron.

Aviation, Diversity, and Uncomfortable Truths
By CDRSalamander
We are spending millions of dollars chasing numbers for the sake of numbers. What if we – the Naval service – knew that the ability to change the racial and ethnic numbers coming in to aviation was totally outside our control? What if we also knew that the data being entered was full of errors, inaccurate, and not related to the larger desired outcome?
What if we knew that – but – decided that we were not only going to continue to try to control the uncontrollable, but to try to create accurate metrics from inaccurate data?
Well – that is what we are doing – and we're even saying it.
The Naval Audit Service put out a report in OCT of 2011 titled, "Naval Pilot and Naval Flight Officer Diversity" that was released in a redacted version via a FOIA. You can get your own copy of it here. There is a lot of good in the report, and it deserves a full read.
The problem as some see it is outlined early.
The Naval Pilot/Flight Officer communities, a significant portion of the Navy's commissioned officers, are not on track to reflect the diversity of the nation. In his 2011Diversity Policy, The Chief of Naval Operations states that we "must…build a Navy that always reflects our Country's make up." Low enrollment, high attrition, low preference,and low selection at commissioning sources for certain minority groups, and low performance in flight training, are contributing to the lack of diversity.
If this trend continues, future senior leadership in the aviation community will not reflect the diversity of the nation.
That identifies the "what" and "so what." Is the solution inside the lifelines of the Navy to correct? As real barriers were removed well over half a century ago – then, "what next?"
The reasons for the delta are now socio-cultural in the nation at large. Just one of the core entering arguments:
We know it is beyond our control too.
A review of the "reasons why" certain groups enroll at low rates, or have higher attrition, may identify issues beyond or outside Navy control.
This is good. This is a modern, mature, and logic based approach to a tough problem; sadly we don't flesh it out much in the report – but it is a start.
Objective standards are fair, but do not guarantee equal outcomes when, on average, the indicators for success differ at the start.
Student Naval Pilots/Flight Officers' performance is measured using a Navy standard score. To be eligible for the jet training pipeline, a student Naval Pilot must receive a score of 50 or above. We reviewed the flight training performance standards and found that they appeared objective.
However, we determined that African American, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Hispanic students' average Navy standard scores were lower than Caucasians. These lower scores negatively affected the number from each minority group entering the jet pipeline.
Is that the Navy's fault? No – that simply reflects the educational and socio-cultural challenges the broader nation has.
In the past, the Navy has got itself in trouble by pushing good people with good intentions to start to do bad things. This is where the bad comes in.
Establish metrics to monitor and track progress of enrollment, graduation, preference, selection, and performance …
We all know what metrics mean. From measures of effectiveness to "goal achievement." If you cannot move the needle due to factors outside your control and only have objective criteria based on indicators for success under your control … what can you do to move the needle that the metrics demand? The answer isn't good for anyone.
Even if we could chase numbers – are the numbers accurate?
It should be noted that race and ethnicity was self-reported by the students, and they could self-report as a different race or ethnicity when asked at different times.
Well, there we go. It is good to see in print what we have all seen in the Fleet. Fraud, folly, or foolishness; it is there when it comes to checking the block, and it increases the margin of error for all these numbers.
To our credit, the Navy has not lost faith in its objectivity, but knows there is pressure to move away from that objectivity. More than most warfare specialties perhaps, aviation is exceptionally sensitive to standards due to the minimal margin for error in that line of work. You can feel that undercurrent in this report – the professionals trying to push past the retrograde zeitgeist.
We concluded that the Multi-Service Pilot Training System, used by Chief of Naval Air Training to measure student performance, appeared objective. To account for potential differences in scoring across training squadrons, student scores are normalized over the last 60 students that graduated from the same squadron to create the Navy standard score.According to Chief of Naval Air Training officials, the Multi-Service Pilot Training System is a legally defensible and objective system.
Towards the end, the authors touch on a survey that was a lost opportunity. What would have been the results if "non-diverse" and male students were asked the same questions about themselves? Just to compare results, it would be interesting.
We also reviewed the "Naval Aviation Student Training Attrition Report," a summary of exit surveys administered to student Naval Pilot/Flight Officers after they resign from or complete major phases in flight training. When asked whether diverse students were discriminated against, 0.08 percent (4 of 4,996) of respondents indicated that this occurred, and 0.39 percent (3 of 766) of diverse respondents indicated that this occurred. When asked whether female students were discriminated against, 0.46 percent (23 of 4,996) of respondents indicated that this occurred, and 2.67 percent (12 of 450) of female respondents indicated that this occurred.
In any event – those are incredibly small numbers and considering the human condition – numbers to be proud of. You will never find 100% of people who think they are being treated fairly – but 99.92% to 97.32% ? Even by Soviet election standards — that is exceptional.
This whole exercise is sad in another, broader sense. This is the second decade of the 21st Century. Many of those entering flight training are 22-23 years old. They were born in 1990-91. So much of the training, ideology and talking points about diversity seem stuck in the 1970s. It simply is not reflective of today's generation of young people; why are we forcing division down their throats?
Unlike those of earlier generations who are making these decisions, today's young men and women live diversity every day. It is a natural part of their lives, and to force such a multi-racial and mixed-race generation to divide themselves by something as meaningless yet divisive as race (my family can pick a minimum of three if they want) is, at best, counter productive.
At worse? Review history – your answers are there.

#18- Hepburn's Home as Haven
Name: Hepburn
Location: Glendale, WI
Type: Modern, urban, edgy 2 bedroom ranch which I own with my partner
Why I use color:"Because I have to! We could never settle for shades of beige to define our space.Our home is our haven, our solace, so we take furnishing and color to heart. The colors we chose are warm and cozy, yet modern, and mingle well with all the interesting little accessories that we like to litter free space with."
"I'm an artist who paints for fun and small profit after my publishing day-job, and my partner is a fifth degree black-belt and a grad student. We work really well together and have the same taste when it comes to decorating and color palettes, so filling out home with things we love and vivid backdrops to display it make our small ranch house the home it is today."
2 Good color tips:
"Go with your gut....if it feels too bright, it probably is...and take a risk (if you mess up, you can always try again)."
Favorite type and brand of paint:"Behr paint from Home Depot...even out paints more expensive brands I have tried."

way to be bold.
i love it. the eccentricity is what makes it work. is that a found branch you're using as a banister or did you purchase it? I have been looking for something similar. If it is a DIY how did you go about preserving the branch?
That is the creepiest toilet seat I have ever seen.
love love love the tilework on the shower! the lime bedroom is a bit overwhelming, though -- what color is the ceiling?
Love the toilet seat! Is that Buddha's face?
This is inspiring. It makes me get out of bed in the morning.
I really like the contrast between the brown/gray in the living room and the blue in the hallway. They work nicely together.
...don't know if I could handle that green bedroom though. Maybe adding more white (as in the framed picture) would do it for me.
i also LOVE the branch bannister! details, please!
i actually love that green bedroom! its so 60s feeling.
that bathroom TOTALLY weirds me out, though...yikes.
oh, also-- i've never seen an ottoman in a kitchen before...whats that all about?
You have those zebra striped chairs from cb2 I want! Your place is cool, reminds me of homes in New Orleans. No rules, just what you like, how it should be.
I do agree though that the bedroom is a little much and that toilet seat! But overall a very cool house.
The Buddha toilet seat is just plain offensive.
This space uses color in amazing ways! Okay, I am not into the bathroom's decor elements either, but that's not part of the contest, really. The use of color is fantastic throughout the house. It is hard to get away with that kind of intensity, but in this case I find it highly successful.
I don't know, Modfan--WWBD? Probably laugh at it.
At first I thought it was strange and ugly, then it seemed to really fit the shape of the toilet itself and turn it into a sculpture.
I had the exact same thoughts as alisong.
milwaukee north shore represent!
the tiling on the shower is kinda eh but everything else is just wonderful. good luck!
I really love most of the color choices. The rooms have a bit much going on for my taste, but I'm impressed, especially with the first photo of the dark walls and the light blue-green in the hallway. My vote on the toilet seat is no, but yes to the rest of the place.
Mixed feelings on every picture: elements I like, esp the brown and aqua plus furniture in the first pic, and the staircase, but there are more than a few things that scare me. Not in an offensive design way, but in a creepy way (the Vincent Gallo-ish pic in the living room, the toilet seat, and the green). I like hte border in the kitchen.
iam in love with your kitchen!
I do love the first pic, how the brown opens up to the aqua. Will try it.
LOVE the Orange and the toilet seat!
Did you paint it yourself or buy it?
Holy crap, I live in Glendale too! I too, am an artist, but in the film and video field. I can see you are very talented because the eye you have for color and design is awesome! I love the bathroom, and the handlebar in the staircase, and the very bold green bedroom. I don't own my place so I can't even paint the walls... but I decided to hang sheer fabric like curtains along some of the walls instead. Where did you get that toilet seat? Or did you paint it? Do you have a website for your art? If so, please send me a link: firstname.lastname@example.com
This isn't my style, but I think it's a great use of color. The stairway is awesome, would love to know more about how you did it. I also love the bright kitchen (and all the lanterns). It's all very creative and a fun entry for a color contest.
Very nice use of tone on tone. Gorgeous, in fact.
love the bedroom the most. total atmosphere.
Brrrr... that Jesus painting in the living room and that Buddha on the loo are scary. A place full of extremes! Very 'down' living room, very energetic bedroom, very hot kitchen, very floaty stairwell. Wow, you got some stuff to express there! Interesting.
Love the living room, bath, and stairway - really unique and creative. The bedroom is a little monotonous and overbearing for my taste, same with the kitchen. Otherwise very tastefully ecclectic, which is very hard to achieve for most.
I somehow missed this on the first go round so add one more insta finalist to your fan club if not your voting tally. This is gutsy and I'd say you hit your marks. I didn't realize the toilet seat was a Budda until I read the comments, I thought it was a moon face.
RE: Your kitchen...
WOOOOOWIE! I'm envious. So spacious!

|Actress, model
|Years active
Jacqueline Fernandez is a Bollywood actress, former model, and the winner of the Miss Sri Lanka Universe pageant of 2006. She is best known for her work in Hindi films. After graduating in Mass communication, she worked as a journalist in Sri Lanka, whilst also modelling. Fernandez made her acting debut in 2009 with Sujoy Ghosh's fantasy drama Aladinwhich bombed at the box-office, though she won the IIFA Award for Star Debut of the Year – Female and the Stardust Award for Best Exciting Face. Fernandez gained recognition with a role in the erotic thriller Murder 2 (2011), which emerged as her first commercial success and followed it with glamorous roles in the comedy Housefull 2 (2012) and the action thriller Race 2 (2013), both of which were major box-office successes. In 2014, Fernandez portrayed the leading lady in Sajid Nadiadwala's Kick, which emerged as one of the highest-grossing Bollywood films of all-time and established herself a promising actress of Indian cinema. Alongside her acting career, Fernandez is a social activist, participates in stage shows, and is a celebrity endorser for brands.
Early life and pageantry[edit]
Fernandez was born on 11 August 1985,[1][2][3][4] into a mixed ethnic family, in which her father is a Sri Lankan, while her mother is of mixed Malaysian and Canadian ancestry. Her great-grandparents were originally from Goa, India. She is the youngest of four, with one older sister, and two older brothers.[3][5] Although, she was raised in Bahrain, she said she originally lived in Sri Lanka. Prior to become a TV reporter, she started hosting TV shows in Bahrain, when she was barely fourteen years old. After graduating in Mass Communication from Australia, she moved to Sri Lanka, where she relocated at her grandparents place, and joined a Television station. From then, she began reporting and investigating mainly on political turmoil. According to an article published in Lanka Journal, she had aspired to become an actress, when she was eight years old.[6] Although, she was a TV reporter, she accepted offers to join the modeling industry, which came as a result of her pageant entrance and for which she was crowned the Miss Sri Lanka Universe 2006, and represented her state at Miss Universe 2006 held in Los Angeles where she was unplaced.[7] In 2007, Fernandez appeared on her first commercial in a music video for Sri Lankan duo Bathiya and Santhush.
Acting career[edit]
Fernandez made her acting debut in the 2009 Bollywood fantasy movie Aladin playing a character inspired by the Disney Princess character of Jasmine.[8] For her performance, Fernandez received mixed reviews, with Anupama Chopra of NDTV calling her a "plastic debutant".[9] However, Taran Adarsh of BollywoodHungama complimented her more on her looks, rather than her performance by saying, "Jacqueline Fernandez gets no scope, but she looks gorgeous nonetheless.[10] In year 2010, she was seen once again appearing alongside Ritesh Deshmukh in the romantic comedy Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai. She received mainly negative reviews for her performance. Rediff criticized her by writing," She gamely makes a fool of herself whilst aping the actions of movie stars, ranging from Sridevi's Naagin dance, Mithun Chakravarthy's Disco Dancer moves to Big B's violent headshake in Hum. Her Tara could be a keeper if only Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai wasn't so intent on turning her into a love-struck Barbie.[11] That year, she made a cameo appearance in Sajid Khan's Housefull in the song "Dhanno".
In 2011, Fernandez appeared in her third film, Mahesh Bhatt's thriller Murder 2 which emerged a major economic success.[12] Fernandez played the role of Priya, a lonely model who is in a confused relationship with Arjun Bhagwat, played by Emraan Hashmi. Fernandez grabbed a lot of attention for the boldness and sex appeal she displayed in the movie, with her performance receiving decent reviews.
OneIndia Entertainment said, "Jacqueline being bold and sexy grabs a lot of eyeballs for the oomph factor. Her performance is decent."[13] Taran Adarsh of BollywoodHungama said, "Stepping into Mallika's shoes in the sequel is Jacqueline. Like Mallika, she takes the boldness quotient to the next level with her sexy avatar. She should grab a lot of eyeballs for the oomph factor, while her performance is decent. In fact, she gets little scope to display histrionics, but she makes a sincere attempt to portray her character with care."[14] Murder 2 launched Fernandez's career for the good, as she started getting offers from big production houses. Post Murder 2 success, Fernandez turned down many roles, such as Raaz 3, to avoid being type cast as a sex symbol.[15] She was also considered for Bindu's 'Mona Darling' act in the remake of Zanjeer but she walked out from the project for the same reasons.[16] She also turned down a role in Krrish 3, but that was due to date conflicts.
In 2012, Fernandez appeared in Housefull 2 with an ensemble cast which included Akshay Kumar, Asin and Rishi Kapoor. It became one of the top grossing productions of India that year and grossed 186 crore (US$31 million) worldwide. Also, Fernandez received positive reviews for her performance. Gaurav Malani of Times Of India stated, "So Jacqueline Fernandez wins the race with her gorgeous looks..."[17] Mrigank Dhaniwala of KoiMoi said, "Of all the girls, Asin and Jacqueline Fernandez get the meatiest of roles and they do not disappoint."[18] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave a mixed review by saying, "Amongst the female leads, Asin has the meatiest role and gives a decent account of herself. Jacqueline, Shazahn and Zarine act more as eye candy. They are the typical sultry and enticing selves; each one is befitting in her own space."[19]
Fernandez's first release of 2013 was Race 2 which was described by critics as the "cinematic equivalent of a trashy novel",[20] however was a major box office success,[21][22] with collections surpassing the 1 billion (US$16 million) mark.[23][24] Her performance in the film met with generally positive reviews, with Lisa Tsering, of The Hollywood Reporter stating, "Miss Sri Lanka Jacqueline Fernandez, a leggy beauty with a talent for action who now counts seven Indian films under her belt, is another plus. Welcome to Bollywood, Miss Fernandez".[25] Joginder Tuteja of Indicine noted, "Jacqueline has a bigger part to play and she does it well while looking her best."[26] Fernandez also appeared in an item number titled "Jaadu Ki Jhappi" for Prabhu Deva's Ramaiya Vasta Vaiya.
In 2014, Fernandez appeared in Sajid Nadiadwala's directorial debut—the action thriller Kick, a remake of the 2009 Telugu film of the same name. Featuring opposite Salman Khan, Fernandez played Shaina, a psychiatric student. She dubbed in her own voice for the first time in Kick.[27] On her performance, Sneha May Francis commented that she is "incredibly dazzling, and moves like [...] magic,"[28] though Raja Sen called her dialogue delivery "unfortunate."[29] The film received mixed reviews from critics, but with a worldwide revenue of 3.6 billion (US$59 million), it emerged as a blockbuster.[30][31]
Upcoming projects[edit]
As of August 2014, Fernandez is committed to five projects. Fernandez has completed shooting for Chandran Rutnam's crime-thriller According to Mathew, an English-language Sri Lankan film.[27] She is filming in Malaysia for Vicky Singh's romantic thriller Roy, in which Fernandez will play dual roles alongside Arjun Rampal and Ranbir Kapoor.[32][33] She will also feature in a cameo appearance for the satire Bangistan and has signed a 3-film deal with Nadiadwala's production house.[34] As part of the contract, she will appear in Nadiawala's untitled next.[35] She has also signed on to appear in Karan Malhotra's Brothers, a remake of the film Warrior, which co-stars Akshay Kumar and Sidharth Malhotra.[36]
In the media[edit]
In addition to acting in films, Fernandez has supported charitable organisations, and performed for stage shows. In the early 2013, on the behalf of people for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Asia, she sent a letter to the consulate general of the Philippines in Colombo, Sri Lanka, to expedite the transfer of the elephant Mali from the inadequate Manila Zoo to a lush sanctuary.[37] That year, she auctions a breakfast in Mayfair, London which she raises around £4000 for helping Pratham (her friend's) NGO involving for Children's primary education.[38] She then went on to join hands with PETA in order to prevent cruelty to horses.
She had performed at the 55th Filmfare Awards, IIFA Awards and Apsara Awards, as well as at the Temptations Reloaded in Auckland alongside, Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji and Madhuri Dixit.[39]
Fernandez made her first commercial alongside Hrithik Roshan for Sony Ericsson. Later, she became popular after appearing in a Pepsi commercial with Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt. She has appeared in a commercial with the actor Aamir Khan for Titan Watches. Fernandez is also the brand ambassador of Nestlé's brand Maggi and Lux in Sri Lanka.
In early 2013, she became the ambassador for HTC One which she endorses in India.[40] and, she was chosen as the face of Indian Bridal Fashion Week—IBFW of 2013.[41] On 16 October, she launched Gareth Pugh's designed Forevermark Diamonds in Mumbai, as the spokesperson[42] and inaugurated Forever 21 store in Mumbai.[43] That year, she also launched Gilette revolutionary shaving system with Arbaaz Khan and Aditya Roy Kapur.[44] Fernandez along with Huma Qureshi was also signed as brand ambassador of Mumbai Heroes, Sohail Khan's cricket team in the CCL (Celebrity Cricket League) that features matches between star based teams from all across India.
In 2011, a poll conducted by the newspaper, Times of India ranked her #7, among ''Top 50 Most Desirable Women''. Following, the next year, she ranked #8, in the second version of the poll. In the early 2013, Indian [edition] FHM magazine, ranked her at #21; of ''100 Sexiest Women In The World 2013.''[45] In the same year, a newspaper, ''World Actuality'', ranked her #23, among the ''most beautiful women in the world.''

In 26 days Lubbock voters will head to the polls to elect a new mayor. So far, it's turning out to be one of the most expensive mayoral campaigns in recent history.
NewsChannel 11 requested hundreds of pages of documents which contain financial records for all city candidates since the first of this year. We are starting to see big numbers and big money in the mayoral race.
|Decision 2006 Election Coverage
Four candidates are vying for the mayoral seat, but money is putting two of them on the forefront, and in clear view. Mayoral candidates David Miller and Tom Martin have each raised more than $100,000.
"It's expensive to run a campaign today. In fact ridiculously," said Miller.
"Well to run a successful campaign for a city-wide office it takes quite a bit of money," said Martin.
Martin's campaign has raised just more than the $100,000 mark and Miller's around $144,000.
According to the last campaign finance report, ending April 3rd, Martin, who is also current mayor pro-tem, has spent about $47,000 since January and has a remaining contribution balance of almost $34,000.
Since January, Miller spent just more than $42,000 with a remaining balance around $75,500. Both candidates say while contributions continue to come in, a lot of the money is spent getting their name known.
"Between media advertising and yards signs, and large 4x8 signs all the other expenses of running an office and taking polls is just takes a lot of money," said Miller.
"It takes a lot of media, number one. Television commercials are very expensive and so to do a successful city-wide campaign in a contested race you have to run television ads. Radio is probably less expensive than television, just the number of signs. We have thousands of yards signs and the printing cost of those signs is a pretty good clip when you start adding those up," said Martin.
Martin and Miller agree, while it takes money to run a campaign, it's also a way to get constituents involved.
"We don't have a lot of big givers, but we have hundreds and hundreds of $20, $50 and $100 contributions and normally those translate into votes," said Miller.
"When someone makes a campaign contribution it's because they want to help. There are no promises, there's nothing offered in return it's simply that they believe in you and believe in your cause, and so therefore they're willing to help with the campaign," said Martin.
In the past three months, Martin has received money from about 100 donors and Miller has had just under 220 donors.
The other two mayoral candidates are Gilbert Montes and Ysabel Luna.
Since January, Montes hasn't raised any money but he did spend $100. That's the filing fee for office. Luna has raised and spent $100.

This is an Acrylic painting I did for class, my friend took a in game screenshot, and i had fun painting it biggest issue is that black blob i need to fix next to door down the hall.

A good technique would be to draw the stones individually , not as fast but shading the mortar in could also bring the colour down, less high contrast. Good picture.
thank you i really appreciate the comment :D

I get the sense and touches of realism, and the image reminds me of the castles and houses of the nobility of medieval Europe. A slight critique from my point of view would be a slightly grey tone, and just a slight increase in dark tones overall. Other than that, this is a nice peice of art. If I could see more, it'd be nice.
Thank you for the critique i love them :D

Every woman at the ceremony was a fashion mistake! One ugly dress after another. I don't care how much cleavage you show, it doesn't make up for the lack of natural beauty.
