Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
This ain't your grandpa's whiskey bar. Well, actually, this is probably exactly the kind of spot your grandfather would've hung out in (and probably still does hang out in). But there's room for you, too. The North Phoenix bar is unmistakably a cigar bar first, based on aroma alone. However, even if you aren't a smoker, the ventilation system makes it so there's only a cigar aroma without the giant cloud of smoke. Plus, the whiskey list, which reads like a book and is set up on shelves like a library, is killer. With whiskey and cigar pairings courtesy of Jason Asher, this spot really is about the spirits and stogies. Even the cocktails are mostly whiskey-based, with Sazerac, Old Fashioned, and even a peaty Laphroaig cocktail on the menu for $12 to $15.
Looking to impress a visiting tourist or just yearning for a great place to kick up your feet after work? Head to the patio at the Four Seasons resort, where a tangy Copper City Mule awaits you — not to mention some of the most stunning, sweeping views of the desert to be had. Those vistas, combined with a daily happy hour from 3 to 5:30 p.m., make for an unbeatable twilight drink. A killer list of tap wine, tap beer, and by-the-bottle vino choices will have you staying well past sunset (and what a sunset it is!), then heading into the Four Seasons' Proof, an upscale, homestyle diner where you can add a little dinner to the perfect dusk-hour cocktail.
Let's be honest: Bar Crudo could've pulled a win in several cocktail categories. However, none of the others really put forth everything this Arcadia spot has to offer quite like the happy hour category. From a long list of classic cocktails made to the rigorous and historically accurate standards co-owner and master mixologist Micah Olson enforces in his bar to the phenomenal bar bites with Italian flair, everything you could order is dirt cheap (cocktails are $7 and dishes range from $5 to $12) for the quality you're getting. After all, well liquor pretty much means nothing at this bar and those crispy pig ears are the stuff dreams are made of. Take a seat in the beautiful lounge and bar area Tuesday through Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m. and get the full Crudo experience.
Nothing says chilling by the pool on a relaxing Saturday afternoon quite like an ice-cold can of Mr. Pineapple. Yes, this San Tan brew now is available for purchase in cans at most local liquor stores and even area Trader Joe's. Though it's not the most complex brew crafted in town, drinkability is the name of the game here, and we've found few who can resist this beer's charm, even after just one sip. With a nice, light wheat beer base and a strong, acidic, and fruity kick of pineapple flavor, Mr. Pineapple definitely isn't a misnomer, although the name is kind of creepy. Don't worry, though, this tasty brew plays nice.
Late summer, Four Peaks employees hear the same question from local beer lovers: "When can I get my hands on a pint of that pumpkin beer?" It might be because this brew's arrival is synonymous with the end of a long, hard heatwave. But there's definitely more to it than that. After all, there's a reason the pumpkin taps (and now even cans) run dry earlier and earlier every year, though the brewery makes more and more every year. The dark, coffee-colored beer is like drinking liquid pumpkin pie. Now that you know about its roasted malt, baking spice, and, of course, pumpkin flavors, make sure to get your stash of this autumn mainstay before it's gone. Because it will be gone. Soon.
It's funny how one brewery can come into the craft beer scene in Phoenix and completely blow it up. Sure, there was plenty of great local beer in town before Arizona Wilderness Brewing, but in just about a year, it's already been named best new brewery in the world by beer geeks in the know and has put our fair state on the map in ways it hadn't been before. Maybe it's the focus on using as much local grain as possible. Maybe it's the unique ingredient list, from cacao nibs to spruce tips. But once you get your first sip, you know it's something new. The almost daily changing list of experimental microbrews has us coming back for more and, with its being a Kickstarter-funded endeavor, we're just glad these artful brewers got the opportunity to open in the first place.

Lawmakers, execs declare war on anti-spam bill
WASHINGTON (AP) A bill designed to reduce unsolicited
commercial e-mail ran into trouble in a House committee Thursday, as business
leaders and lawmakers declared their opposition to the legislation.
Almost every legislator and witness present for the House
Judiciary Committee hearing said they had problems with the bill, which previously
passed the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
At Thursday's hearing, Rep. Bob Barr, R-Ga., urged the
business leaders to work harder against the bill.
"I would suggest a full-court press," Barr said, calling
the legislation "broad and heavy-handed."
"We are engaged and active in trying to slow this train
down," replied Securities Industry Association representative Marc Lackritz.
"I think you all need to be a bit bolder," Barr said. "I'd
take off the gloves."
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Heather Wilson, R-N.M., includes
a $500 penalty for companies for each unsolicited e-mail known as spam
that they send.
The Judiciary Committee got to look at the bill because
it includes several legal provisions, including one giving recipients the right
to sue companies that spam them. The committee can amend the legislation before
sending it to the House floor, but cannot kill it.
Committee members and industry witnesses said they supported
a competing bill that would penalize spammers only if they used a bogus return
"Legislation should be narrowly targeted to provide law
enforcement with the tools they need to combat abuses without opening the floodgates
to frivolous litigation or interfering with legitimate uses of e-mail for marketing
purposes," said the bill's sponsor, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va.
Goodlatte, noting that Wilson's bill passed the House last
year with only one dissenting vote, said opponents need to convince her to change
her proposal. The bill was passed late in the session and without debate, and
the Senate never took up similar legislation.
"I think that all roads here lead through Ms. Wilson's
office," Goodlatte said. "We need to find a way to accommodate your concerns
while realizing that something is going to be done on this issue, and soon."
The business leaders agreed to open the door to a compromise.
"I don't know that language could be drafted that might
be satisfactory, but we're willing to look at anything," said Rick Lane of the
U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

These terms, plus any additions, deletions, and/or revisions announced by Auctioneer before the commencement of the Auction, represent the exclusive terms for the Auction ("Terms of Auction").

Seller and Auctioneer are not required to update any information provided or published and shall have no liability on any basis for failing to do so.
4. DISCLAIMER: Participation in the Auction is at Bidder's sole risk and Seller and Auctioneer, plus their agents, contractors, and employees, shall have no liability on any basis. The Property will be offered in "AS IS, WHERE IS" condition. To the fullest extent allowed by law, Seller and Auctioneer unconditionally disclaim any guarantee, representation, or warranty of every kind, whether expressed, implied, or statutory, whether oral or written, whether past, present, or future, with respect to all Property Issues, except as expressly provided in the Terms of Auction and the Sale Contract.

The decision of Auctioneer is final regarding all matters that arise before, during, or after the Auction. Seller shall not bid. Bidder shall not retract any bid. Bidder's purchase shall be considered a single transaction whether of the whole or a fraction of the Property.

12. CHOICE OF LAW, JURISDICTION, AND VENUE: Any Auction matter shall be exclusively construed and governed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arkansas without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

Travel offers a raft of benefits to the communities, cities and countries we visit, as well as to the travellers who explore with us. These include economic benefits and an increased cultural awareness. However, these must be closely managed to mitigate any negative effects on the local environment and people.
At Topdeck Travel we are committed to following and continually developing responsible travel practices both on the road and in our London and Brisbane offices. At Topdeck we actively promote responsible travel practices within the company and to our travellers and suppliers.
Our mission is to offer young travellers the holiday of a lifetime without it costing the earth. Our trips are delivered in a professional, caring and responsible manner ensuring we are the global leaders in youth travel.
Here at Topdeck we regard charitable activities as an important part of our social responsibility. We actively encourage staff to take part in these activities and suggest new causes for us to get behind.
As a company full of proud Aussies and Kiwis when the people of Christchurch, Queensland and Victoria were severely affected by natural disasters in 2011 and 2010 we stepped up to help with London based fundraisers and appeals. These events raised thousands of pounds for the affected communities.In 2012, we sponsored the Ulaanbaatar Boardriders in their attempt at the famous Mongol Rally race. The money raised through the event, and Topdeck's donation, went to two charities that work to improve the lives of young people and their families - one in Australia, the other in Mongolia.
Yipirinya School in Australia's Northern Territory caters for indigenous students by offering bilingual and bicultural education and community services (http://www.yipirinya.com.au/) while the Lotus Children's Centre is a Mongolian non-profit NGO that helps provide the basic human rights of shelter, food and education to vulnerable children and their families. (http://www.lotuschild.org/)
In addition, we also sponsored Oxjam Shepherd's Bush, Fikay Fashion, Movember and the fundraising efforts of individual staff. Our Brisbane based-team took part in the Leukaemia Foundation's World's Greatest Shave and its 2012 U.G.L.Y. Bartender of the Year fundraising event.

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Guerrero Howe (Chicago, IL).
Their HR Director got in touch with me to set up an interview and was very good with communication in finding a time that worked for me. I think there were at least 5 or 6 emails exchanged before I came in for my interview and she was very good about responding in a timely fashion. I was interviewed by two managing editors of two of their magazines. They were both nice and engaging. They asked a few standard questions, but a few of their questions also caught me a little off guard, as any good interviewer should do. Overall, I thought the interview went really well and I left the office feeling good about the experience.
Unfortunately, everything after that went downhill. My interview was held on a Friday. When it was finished, they told me there would only be one round of interviews and they would make a decision by the middle of the upcoming week. I didn't receive any word from them that entire next week. By the Wednesday of the week after that, I still hadn't heard from them, so I decided to call. I spoke with the HR Director who set me up with the interview at the beginning. She told me they had still not made a decision yet and that they had been very busy the past week because they were moving offices -- from their nice office on Michigan Ave. to somewhere in the River West area. This made me slightly wary, but I didn't think much of it. She told me they would probably be bringing people in again to talk with upper management and asked for my availability. Note, this is contradictory to what I was told before -- that there would only be one round of interviews. I told her I would be able to come in at pretty much any time. I then received an email from her about a half hour later asking me if I could come in the following day for another interview. Being relieved that this was finally starting to go somewhere again, I happily said yes. She then sent me a confirmation email for the interview.
Then another email came. This one about two hours later. It read: "I apologize. I've been disconnected from the recruitment for this position over the past weeks and just learned that the position was filled. I would still like to keep you in mind for future positions, and I'm very sorry."
I don't think describing my surprise by this is necessary, but it left me pretty stunned to say the least. In response to me asking how this happened, she responded:
"I actually hire for sales and account management positions, which is why I didn't meet with you when you were interviewed during the first round. I'm sorry the Creative hiring manager did not inform you that the position had been filled, but I can assure you that you were absolutely considered in the first round. I'm sorry that you had an unfortunate experience with the company, and that the position did not work out this time around, but we will keep you in mind for future openings. I wish you the best of luck."
We all make mistakes, right? I'm a pretty understanding individual, and I don't hold a grudge against them or anything, but my experience may have displayed the level of the professional environment at this company. Though I thought the prospect of working there seemed exciting and fun after my interview, I have taken their lack of communication and my not being hired as a blessing in disguise. Perhaps this was a one-time error at a time when they are moving offices and things just got mixed up. And let's be honest, with the job market right now, putting up with things like this come with the territory. I just thought this experience should be shared with anyone who is taking a look at this company.

How does Okyeame Kwame continue to stay relevant? How does his music remain germane? How has he stayed afloat for nineteen years and counting?
The overwhelming flooding of the scene by new crop of artistes each day coupled with our insatiable need for new flavors of music is sure to endanger any artiste. In Ghana, for instance, we have had to make transitions, leaving musicians washed ashore in the process. Time changes. Rappers come and go.
Nevertheless, we can lay a finger on the versatile, heavyweight rapper Okyeame Kwame for his long-standing dominance. As former half of the legendary hip life group Akyeame, who started off in 1997 peaking in 1999, Okyeame has continued to maintain a strong playing position in the game.
In spite of the rude turbulence of the storm sweeping old heads under the carpet, we have seen the versatile rapper stand the test of time. We are witnesses to his ability to amass wild, stunning crowd engagement at performances. He attracts the most ambassadorial deals and lands the biggest endorsements in these parts and like it is apparent, B.R.A Kwame is one of the sure picks for any local or international honors.
So the big question is this: how does Okyeame Kwame continue to stay relevant? How does his music remain germane? How has he stayed afloat for nineteen years and counting? Back to the marine analogy – which anchor holds him in the storms?
Is it his insistence on inspiring creative difference? Is it because he is scandal-free? Do you think his secret is buried is his lyrical decency? Can we associate his longevity to his versatility, intelligence, friendliness, creativity?
Let's get talking!

Hi everyone! Your favorite happy-go-lucky firebending blood knight, Hiro Fengxian, has now got a Facebook page! Not quite sure how he has access to a computer (or has the money to afford one), but here it is:
He updates frequently, so feel free to comment on his posts, ask him questions, ect... assuming that he isn't on some suicide mission, instigating a brawl at a nearby tavern, or fighting off a ninja-wanabe hoping to collect on the underworld bounty on his head, he'll be happy to reply. Just a warning: he has a certain amount of values dissonance and is a tad naive in some social situations.
On a side note, I'm currently out of work. Again. I didn't screw up or quit, they let me go because my "production run was over". I wish Randstat would've told me beforehand how long I'd be working for. Oh well, at least I can sympathize with Hiro's financial situation.
And if anyone would like to help me on my fanfiction (inter-character dialouge mostly), just give me a reply.

The American Cancer Society's Relay For Life in Second Life is holding it's 2008 Kick Off Party on Sunday, February 17th at 1pm SLT at the American Cancer Society Sim to share with residents the importance of Relay For Life in saving lives from cancer and providing information on how you can participate by forming a Relay Team, or becoming a Relay Team Member in Second Life.
Relay For Life is the signature event of the American Cancer Society and has been active, and continually growing, in Second Life for 4 years. Last year, the Relay For Life in Second Life (RFL in SL) raised over $118,500.00 US dollars. Relay For Life in Second Life, itself, is a fun-filled, overnight event that unites SL individuals throughout the world to celebrate survivors (anyone who has ever been diagnosed with cancer), remember loved ones and raise money for the fight against cancer.
"Individuals who are willing to give their time and energy to this exciting event, as a volunteer or participant, have made a commitment to fight back against this disease and let the community know that you can beat cancer."
Relay For Life in Second Life Teams form in February, beginning with the 2008 Kick Off Party, and hold fund raising events in SL from March – July. The Relay for Life in Second Life finishes with the Official RFL in SL overnight Relay on July 19th & 20th, 2008. Team members gather at their Team Campsites they build, walk the RFL in SL Track, enjoy live music, participate in fun events, and explore the 35 Relay Sims as the event runs overnight and into the next morning. In 2007, over 35 RFL in SL Teams participated in the largest virtual fundraising walk in the world and this year the number will be even higher.
Relay For Life in Second Life has the ability to virtually bring together friends, families, businesses, and support organizations from all over the world, all with the goal of eliminating cancer.
Anyone who would like to learn more about the Relay For Life in Second Life and how to form a RFL in SL Relay Team are invited to join us at the 2008 RFL in SL Kick Off Party on February 17, 2008 at 1:00pm SL for an information session
followed by live entertainment.
