F. McLintocks Saloon & Dining House
Online Reservations
Every time we come to Pismo we have to go to McClintock's, it's the best and the food is always excellent, can't wait to go back. It was my birthday and the picture and ice cream was a great, memorable touch!!!
We celebrated my dad's 80th birthday. I requested a table with a view for 8. The table was ready when we arrived. Everyone was pleased with their meals, even those that ordered fish. My wife and I had the ribeye medium rare and it was done perfectly. The service was excellent.
Great food, wonderful service, what more could you ask for!
When we arrived we were shown right to a table. They initially were going to sit us at a booth however I asked to sit near the window and they immediately complied. The waiter was very attentive and all of the staff was very friendly. The food was outstanding! They give you delicious onion rings and salsa for the free appetizer; definitely beats chips or bread any day of the week! The only con of the evening was the staff member refilling our water glasses. They have a little gimmick where they pour the water into the glass from high up. While I appreciate the theatrics there was a bit of splash back from pouring that high into a small glass. If I was wearing nicer clothes I might have been annoyed that the water was getting on me.
We had very quick seating and were given a great window front table for the sunset ocean views. Food was quick and delicious. A great spot to go for good food and scenery.
Every year we go to pismo for our anniversary the first time I went here I loved it my husband suprised me. Recently we went Nd took my mother and step father I couldn't wait cause my mother loves the western scene. Anyway we had a blast!!! The service is always awesome and you get more food than you can finish!
We come here every year for my birthday and then some.....love everything about this place!!!!!
i highly recommend this place.the food was great.i cant wait to go again.great service as well.and the STEAK!!!! absolutely delicious.
I had the steak and ribs combo. My boyfriend had the 12 oz steak special. We should have ordered one entree and split it. It came with onion rings,potatoes, bread, beans, and dessert or an after dinner drink. We were so full we never even got to taste the beans, bread or potatoes. We brought wine and they did not charge a corkage fee. When in the area, we will go back.
Been going there for decades, still love it but miss the great breakfasts!!!
I love taking my family to McLintocks! It's dinner and a show! High water pours (blindfolded if you'd like), loud hollers from the staff make you feel like part of the action, immense amounts of delicious food, and hearty celebration songs for birthdays and anniversaries.
A road trip up to Northern California is not complete for us without a stop to have dinner at McLintocks. We ate there the first time about 25 years ago and make sure whenever we are in the area to stop. The food and service are great. The steaks are always cooked just right with all the fixings of a dinner out on the range.
Across the freeway from Pismo with ocean views from most if not all tables. Great tasting beef and BBQ with generous portions.
I made my reservation via McLintocks website on the computer. It was easy to navigate and I received a confirmation the same day. Arriving at the Restaurant, the service by every employee was very good. The filet steak was cooked just the way I ordered it and the taste was great. The server continuously checked on us to see if we needed anything else. I highly recommend McLintocks Saloon and Dining House.
When ever our family travels to Pismo we always plan for dinner at McLintocks. The food is wonderful and the service was outstanding. What a fun and festive environment and that has not changed in the since I first visited the restaurant almost 20 years ago.
I had made a reservation prior to dinner, because we had a large party. We were seated promptly and they were able to accommodate the extra people we added to our party last minute. Our server was very friendly. He did a good job. Our food came out quickly and without any problems considering we had a large party. Overall we had an amazing experience. We can't wait until we are back in town again so that we can dine her again!
Very entertaining. Blindfolded servers pour water into a glass on customer's head upon request. Nice view of the ocean.
I've been here before and love the atmospher, but the food was very bland. Tried an appetizer special but sent it back, and the steak was fairly flavorless. The other items were good and the staff were all very friendly and helpful! Would go again just for the fun of it but would order something other than a steak to avoid the disappointment.
The service was excellent! The wait staff was attentive to every need. The steak was cooked perfectly. The ribs were seasoned perfectly.
We left California over 7 years ago and finally had the opportunity to come back to Pismo for a nice July 4 vacation. Of course, one of the places that we wanted to come to while here was F. McLintocks. We were hoping to have the prime sirloin steak that we had when we last ate there because it was fork tender and the best steak that we've ever had, but we couldn't find it on the menu. Instead my husband had the New York Strip Loin and I had the bone-in Kansas. While my steak was tender, moist, flavorful, and delicious my husband said that his was good, but not great and that mine was much better. The overall ambience was great as we were seated by the window, had a great view, and the server was very attentive and awesome.
I always come here when I'm in the area. It's always a good time. It's a bit pricey but it's worth it. You get a lot of food and everything is great. The baby back ribs are the best in Northern California and you finish the night off with the "Tan Ferrari" which is their speciality after dinner liquor drink.
Whenever we stay in Pismo Beach we always have to go to McClintock's. It is nice that they take reservations now, so you don't have to wait. But even if you do, the wait is worth it! Onion rings (we ate them all, and I think they are the best onion rings ever!). We both had the bacon wrapped filet mignon, cooked perfectly, and with that great BBQ taste to it. It's nice that McClintock's now lets you choose two sides but I stuck with the tried and true...ranch potatoes and trail beans. For me that just symbolizes McClintocks' and they taste as wonderful as ever. Our server was great; attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. We just wish we were in the Pismo Beach area more frequently!
This has been one of my absolute favorite family dining spots of all time. We have not been in a number years since moving to Northern California from Ventura County, Last week we drove for 5 hours to have dinner with some of our family. While our overall experience was great, I have to say that I was disappointed in my steak.. My favorite is the Baseball Cut sirloin. This is the first time (after having MANY before) that it was not flavorful, and was somewhat tough. My wife had the salmon and it was very dry (overcooked) and salty. She returned it and the following piece was not as salty, but was also very dry, overcooked and inedible. All of the other food for our group of 6 was fine. We will return, but was very disappointed.
My Father and I were on a road trip and have past this landmark restaurant for many years. Finally we stopped to enjoy the great food, service and ambience. Loved everything about this place! Made my Dad very happy. I needed two stomachs. Great value for all the food and I enjoyed a very nice Malbec. Great to see a variety on the wine list. Loved our server. Very knowledgable and helpful. Thank you so much! Maddy and Dad!
It had been years since I last visited F. McLintocks in Pismo Beach, so it was good to reacquaint. This restaurant has a casual atmosphere but very good food. When we arrived, the front had not recorded our OpenTable reservation, but quickly validated the reservation and seated us at the appointed time without a wait. Our server was Jayne. She and the rest of the staff was attentive. We all ordered steaks. The bacon-wrapped filet was tender and cooked exactly as ordered. The vegetables were crisp, potatoes nicely cooked, and baked beans tasty. One thing I like is the entrée includes onion rings starter, the main course and sides, plus dessert for the single price. As a result, the $34-$36 meal price is actually a very good value.
We lived on the Central Coast for many years. Came back to vacation in Pismo after being away for 10 years. When making our vacation plans, going to McLintock's (Mattie Rd) was automatically part of our plans! Going with our good friends Greg and Janet, our family had, as always, a great time with great food! We celebrated my husband's, my son's and our friend's birthday all on the same night! The food was GREAT! The steaks, the sides...everything! Even the "turkey nuts"!!! Thanks McLintock's!!!
Always fun with great food. Having enjoyed McLintocks for decades we brought 4 new Cal Poly students & their parents...so much great food and the boys loved (& challenged) the waiters with their iconic water poring. We all enjoyed our meal & loved the whole experience. Not to be missed.
Made reservations through open table however when we got there they did not have our reservation listed; but they viewed my email and seated us within minutes. Great food and great service. Bar and live music was very good!
Good service, good food. Very nice setting, the meal appears to expensive up front, but you get a lot for the money. Must go there if you are on the cental coast.
Our food was fantastic, but the server was terrible. We got great assistance from the waitress next to our table, so good service is possible... Great for special occasions.
Love McClintocks. My husband and I always make sure we visit when we are in Pismo and this trip did not disappoint. Love the food and service.
Provides quality steak dinner with an amazing view and fun atmosphere!
After having to wait 15yrs to take a vacation, F McLintock's decor remains unchanged & half the food tastes slightly different. You must walk thru the restaurant &the grounds to get the family history & background. You must try their famous onion rings w/salsa, turkey nuts (yes that's what it is), one of their steaks & their dessert drink Tan Ferrari! Lastly to complete your experience, you must have your waiter do the blindfold water glass refill( you will get a bit wet) to complete your dining experience. Enjoy&don't wait 15yrs to return like I did.
This restaurant was recommended to us by a few friends. Because we have a 7 month old we needed a place where he could join us, this place was perfect for him! It wasn't to loud, but it wasn't to quite either. It's a great family spot! The food was amazing with HUGE portions, so go hungry! Our server was very attentive and made sure we were well taken care of! I will return when we visit the beach area again!
Our table sat facing the large front windows that overlook CA Hwy. 101 & the ocean - What a great view !!! Ordered the 12 oz. Rib Eye steak, which comes with fresh green beans, steak fries, bar-b-que beans and garlic toast. All of the side dishes were tasty and plentiful. The Rib Eye steaks were aged and seasoned to perfection, the meat was so tender you cut nearly cut it with your fork and the taste was fantastic. The meal also came wtih a complimentary bowl of ice cream which was good, but if there is one thing that I could recommend is for McClintocks to develop a dessert menu to compliment their main dinner menu. Overall a great dining experience and very moderately priced.
The food is good and the service is very attentive and friendly. We always make a point to go there when we come up to Pismo Beach never disappointed.
We had our 1 year old Grandson with us and they were soooo slow, our dinner was over 2 hours, and thankfully our Grandson was good, but that was ridiculous ..we would ask for something and 10 min later we got it.. The saving grace was the food was delicious .
Always enjoy this restaurant when our out-of-town family joins us for a few days. Everyone's amazed at the variety - and quantity - of delicious food.
Reservations where a snap, we got seated very quick. The service was excellent, The wait staff checked on us numerous times. We wouldn't hesitate to go back again.
Always a delicious meal & one of my most favorite restaurants of all time. Our medium-rare steaks were cooked to perfection & the calamari was very tender, not rubbery like some places can end up doing. The dinners come with unlimited country fried potatoes, house beans, & garlic bread. Services is always great, with very attentive & friendly wait staff. The restaurant sits on a hillside above Hwy 101, overlooking the ocean, so there's a nice view during the day & at sunset. Special occasions like birthdays are especially fun, as the staff will sing to you & you get a complimentary ice cream & brownie dessert. We've been coming here for over 30 years & will probably be coming for another 30! One of the best restaurants in all of SLO county!
We had Light Supper reservations because the prices are a bit less, but you still get a lot of food. Their salsa was fabulous and the meal was great! We were able to take our leftovers, and since we were staying in a hotel, they even provided plastic tableware. I especially liked that they offer a "split meal" option for about $9. You get all the extras so ordering just one entree is about the right amout of food for two people (unless you are big eaters). This is not a cheap place to eat, but is worth the extra money that you spend! I also really appreciated that the live music playing the bar was piped into the restaurant. This place is a class act!
We had a very enjoyable birthday celebration at the restaurant. Great food and service.
I have eating at McClintocks for years. My hubs and I were wanting some beef so we came down to Avila/Pismo to where I knew we'd get a good steak. What I love about the place is that it doesn't really change and hasn't gotten full of itself unlike other places. You order your slab of beef and then come the food. You get a good basic salad, tasty onion rings, beans, potatoes and garlic bread. Very Santa Maria barbecue. Plus a spot of ice cream to finish it off. Far more food than you can eat but tasty.
We were in the area staying at Sycamore Mineral Springs for a Birthday celebration. We had many choices for dinner as we are not locals. I remembered the great steaks that were offered and a nice wine list. as I had dinned at F. McLintocks before. I booked the reservation for 7pm. We arrived on time and had a window seat as requested. Dinner was fabulose. We ordered a bottle of wine that complminted the meal very nice. The after dinner drink of Bailey's was such a nice treat, not to mention the desert and picture for my boyfriend as it was his birthday. Can't wait to come back.
This is still one of our favorite restaurants in the area. In fact, we've gone to dinner here 2 times in a month. The one thing I've noticed that is a bit disappointing is that the portions have gotten a bit smaller and less things are included with your entree (rice pilaf, salad) than before (not counting the 'fixins), and the prices have gone up steadily over the years. If you can get over that, the service is usually very good and the food is excellent.
I had made reservations online, so very easy, and stated that we were celebrating a birthday. They seated us at one of their prime tables with a gorgeous view of the ocean. The service was excellent, the food was abundant and delicious, and they sang happy birthday and brought a complimentary sundae with candle to celebrate. A wonderful evening and experience.
I made a reservation for dinner and on the way in folks told us there was a 45 minute wait. I walked in and after checking in at the front desk the manager walked up and said "Reservation for 6:30, are you Larry?" without looking at list. We were in early and had a awesome dinner .... in face so much our take home boxes were several pounds. The service was absolutely the best. Worth the 3 hour drive to the coast from Clovis!!!!
This was a great stop on the way back to L.A. The food was excellent. The steaks were expertly prepared, the accompanying sides were served boarding house style and were also delicious. The service was excellent and it was a pleasure to relax and enjoy the view of the Pacific. A must for anyone traveling to the central coast.
We had an absolutely wonderful time! The food was delicious; the service was great!
It's a classic steakhouse if you like the western theme with a beautiful view of the ocean. I love the food - entrees and sides are great. Very upbeat feeling, friendly staff. I always enjoy dinner there.

Group of manufacturing employees will split $7 million prize
Includes video report
OTTAWA, Canada — In Canada, a group of employees at an Ottawa manufacturing plant say they won the $7 million Lotto 6/49 prize Wednesday, the same day their company announced massive layoffs.
Eighteen employees at SMART technologies — including 10 who got layoff notices on Wednesday — were part of the group of winners, according to Colin Willard, one of the ticket holders.
Willard, who worked at SMART for seven years, was balancing phones on each ear Thursday as news broke about the group's winning ticket.
He had only returned to work last week after a bad back kept him away for six months, and said the layoff notice shocked him.
It was Thursday morning in the company parking lot where he was the first to discover the win.
"I started to shake, vibrate in my seat, and then I had to get out and tell some of the people that were in, and no one believed me," said Willard.
Friend and co-worker Tony Mather joined him for a celebratory drink of scotch Thursday.
The men said they were excited, but realistic about the lottery earnings and where the money will go.
"We all know that $400,000 doesn't make you rich. That comfort zone for the rest of your life is the nice story," said the 50-year-old Mather.
Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation confirmed Thursday that the winning ticket in the previous night's lottery was shared by a group of people from Ottawa.
A spokesperson with the lottery corporation said the winners will have to go through a verification process when they come to claim the ticket.
Willard said the group will travel to Toronto Friday to confirm their win.
SMART technologies said Wednesday it was laying off 200 employees at the assembly plant on Palladium Drive. The assembly plant employs about 300 people.
The company, which has its headquarters in Calgary, said it was shifting its manufacturing to Mexico.

400 Gs would definately put me in the-zone!
Two hundred people laid off at that plant?
The lawyers will be swarming for the claims of the other employees who were "supposed to be included" in that group.

Congatulations to the winners, but I feel bad for the rest of the people who will be jobless. I've been there. It is NOT fun.
Once again, bigger share holder profits in the form of cheap foreign labor, take precedence over the welfare of the working people.
"You can observe a lot just by watching." Yogi Berra, Hall of Fame baseball player.
To win the lottery, watch the #'s.
Joyful experience for 18 people (and those closest to them) in Canada!
Having millions of dollars in my financial accounts means more, consistent fun for me.
Great news.
The 18 lucky winners have already picked up their checks, and surprisingly, no one else from the plant said that they were entitled to a share.
Very AWSOME guys Congratulations to u 18 lucky winners!!!Like i always say u got to b in it to win it!!!
Congrats to all the winners, my prayers for the rest of the people laid off, I hope they get back on their feet soon.
Merry Christmas
Congrats to all the winners!!!!! my heart & prayers go out to the rest of the employees that were laid off. My husband loss his job of 12 1/2 years on December 22, 2006 to plant closure, ironically that plant moved to Mexico as well.......
It could not come at a better time. Congratulations to them!
well if you know how to invest that 400k then hell yeh it will make you richer.
guess they pick the right person to laid off due something big was coming their way.
im happy they won . god bless .
congrats to the 18 people who won!! my heart and praers go out to the people getting laid-off. as far as this company taking it bussiness to Mexico for less costly larbor......I love this quote from Project Runway " today you are in tommorrow you're out'" so the best thing here woulld be found this company competitor if it work is still done in USA buy from them!!!
Yea, another episode of some quick responding "lottery fairies" coming to the rescue of a bunch of adults being laid off ... pushed into that 'sea of long-term despair!'
Looks like we may see Americans sneaking over the Mexican border to get jobs if this keeps up.
Wonder how Mexico would like that?
They'd probably finish the fence themselves.

Dustin Hoffman Movies
The emergence of Dustin Hoffman in 1967 heralded the arrival of a new era of Hollywood stardom. Diminutive, wiry and unassuming, he was anything but the usual matinee idol, yet he quickly distinguished himself among the most popular and celebrated screen performers of his generation. A notoriously difficult talent famous for his battles with directors as well as his total immersion in his performances, Hoffman further battled against stereotypes by accepting roles which cast him firmly as an antihero, often portraying troubled, even tragic figures rarely destined for a happy ending. By extension, he broke new ground for all actors -- not only were stars no longer limited to heroic, larger-than-life characterizations, but in his wake virtually anyone, regardless of their seeming physical limitations, could attain success on the big screen. Born August 8, 1937 in Los Angeles, Hoffman originally studied to become a doctor, but later focused his attentions on acting, performing regularly at the Pasadena Playhouse alongside fellow aspirant Gene Hackman. Upon relocating to New York City, he worked a series of odd jobs, landing the occasional small television role and later touring in summer stock. Frustrated by his lack of greater success, Hoffman once even left acting to teach, but in 1960 he won a role in the off-Broadway production Yes Is for a Very Young Man. After 1961's A Cook for Mr. General, however, he continued to struggle, and did not reappear onstage for several years, in the meantime studying with Lee Strasberg at the Actors' Studio and becoming a dedicated Method actor. Finally, in 1964 Hoffman appeared in a string of theatrical projects including productions of Waiting for Godot and The Dumbwaiter. Two years later he won a Best Actor Obie for his work in The Journey of the Fifth Horse. In 1967 Hoffman made his film debut with a tiny role in the feature The Tiger Makes Out, a similarly brief appearance in Un Dollaro per Sette Vigliachi followed later that same year, as did a highly-acclaimed turn in the theatrical farce Eh? It was here that he was first spotted by director Mike Nichols, who cast him in the lead role in his 1967 black comedy The Graduate. Though 30 at the time of filming, Hoffman was perfectly cast as an alienated college student, and his work won him not only an Oscar nomination but also made him a hugely popular performer with the youth market. His status as a burgeoning counterculture hero was solidified thanks to his work in John Schlesinger's 1969 Academy Award winner Midnight Cowboy, which earned Hoffman a second Oscar bid. While the follow-up, the romance John and Mary, was a disappointment, in 1970 he starred in Arthur Penn's Little Big Man, delivering a superb portrayal of an Indian fighter -- a role which required him to age 100 years. Directed by his longtime friend Ulu Grosbard, 1971's Who Is Harry Kellerman and Why Is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me? was Hoffman's first outright failure. He next starred in Sam Peckinpah's harrowing Straw Dogs, a film which earned harsh criticism during its original release but which, like much of Peckinpah's work, was later the subject of much favorable reassessment. In 1973 Hoffman co-starred with Steve McQueen in the prison drama Papillon, which returned him to the ranks of box-office success before he starred as the legendary stand-up comedian Lenny Bruce in Bob Fosse's 1974 biography Lenny, a stunning portrayal which earned him a third Academy Award nomination. Another real-life figure followed as Hoffman portrayed Carl Bernstein opposite Robert Redford's Bob Woodward in All the President's Men, Alan J. Pakula's riveting docudrama on the Watergate break-in. Next, Hoffman reteamed with director Schlesinger for 1976's Marathon Man, which cast him alongside Laurence Olivier and scored another major hit. The1978 Straight Time, a pet project helmed by Grosbard, was critically acclaimed but a financial disappointment, and 1979's Agatha pleased neither audiences nor the media. The 1979 domestic drama Kramer vs. Kramer, on the other hand, was a major success with both camps, and Hoffman's portrayal of a divorced father finally earned him an Academy Award on his fourth attempt at the prize. He also won a Golden Globe, as well as honors from the New York and Los Angeles critics. Hoffman's next film, the Sydney Pollack-helmed 1982 comedy Tootsie, was even more successful at the box office. Starring as an out-of-work actor who dresses in drag to win a role on a soap opera, he earned yet another Oscar nomination as the film grossed nearly $100 million during its theatrical release. After a long absence, Hoffman returned to the stage in 1984 to portray Willy Loman in a Broadway revival of Death of a Salesman. A year later, he reprised the performance for a CBS television special, earning an Emmy and another Golden Globe. He did not return to films until 1987, when he shared top billing with Warren Beatty in Elaine May's disastrous comedy Ishtar. In the wake of the big-budget project's chilly audience reception, any number of films were discussed as a follow-up, but after much debate Hoffman finally agreed to co-star with Tom Cruise in Barry Levinson's 1988's Rain Man. His performance as a middle-aged autistic won a second "Best Actor" Oscar, and helped spur the picture to become a major financial as well as critical success. The following year Hoffman again turned to Broadway to star as Shylock in a presentation of The Merchant of Venice, followed by the motion picture Family Business, in which he starred with Sean Connery and Matthew Broderick. After making an unbilled and virtually unrecognizable cameo appearance in Beatty's 1990 comic strip adaptation Dick Tracy, Hoffman starred in the 1991 crime drama Billy Bathgate, the first in a string of films which saw his drawing power gradually diminishing throughout the decade. That same year he starred as Captain Hook opposite Robin Williams' portrayal of an adult Peter Pan in the Steven Spielberg fantasy Hook; after 1992's Hero proved similarly lackluster, Hoffman disappeared from the screen for three years. His comeback film, the adventure tale Outbreak, performed moderately well at the box office, but the follow-up, Michael Corrente's oft-delayed adaptation of the David Mamet drama American Buffalo, saw only limited release. Hoffman next joined an ensemble cast also including Robert De Niro and Brad Pitt in Levinson's 1996 drama Sleepers, trailed a year later by Costa-Gavras' Mad City, Sphere and Wag the Dog followed, the latter of which netted Hoffman another Best Actor nomination for his portrayal of Stanley Motss, a neurotic producer reportedly based on Robert Evans. In 2002, Hoffman appeared in the poignant, psychological drama Moonlight Mile. He continued to take selective but memorable supporting roles throughout the new millennium, playing roles like a dedicated lawyer in Runaway Jury and theatrical producer Charles Frohman in Finding Neverland. In 2004, he provided audiences with laughter in the quirky existential comedy I Heart Huckabees, and in 2005 he played Ben Stiller's eccentric father in the Meet the Parents sequel Meet the Fockers, returning to the part in 2010's Little Fokkers. In 2006, the veteran actor grabbed two more opportunities to play up his trademark brand of quirkiness in the Will Ferrell, Emma Thompson comedy Stranger Than Fiction and played a 243 year old owner or a strangely enchanted toy store in Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. Hoffman also voiced the wise master of Kung Fu Panda in a pair of animated films. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

A disastrous trip to London proves to have a silver lining for a middle-aged American jingle writer in this romantic slice-of-life drama starring Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson. Harvey (Hoffman) is about to lose his unfulfilling dead-end job writing jingles when he boards a plane to attend his daughter's wedding in London. He hasn't turned out a memorable tune in some time, and should Harvey fail to come up with something catchy during his trip overseas, he knows that his boss (Richard Schiff) is ready and willing to let him go. Upon arriving in London, Harvey is devastated to learn that his daughter (Liane Balaban) has opted to have her stepfather (James Brolin) walk her down the aisle instead of him. And things are about to get worse, too. Harvey realizes that he won't be able to suppress his sadness through the whole reception, and makes a quick getaway in hopes of catching a plane back home. Perhaps if he can attend an important meeting on Monday morning, his boss will have some sympathy and grant him a momentary reprieve. No such luck, however, because when Harvey misses the flight and calls his boss to explain, he is fired over the phone. Later, at the airport bar, Harvey is drowning his sorrows when he strikes up a conversation with no-nonsense Office of National Statistics employee Kate (Thompson). Kate doesn't have much of a social life; most of her time outside of work is spent suffocating under the love of her smothering mother (Eileen Atkins). She's just gotten through a humiliating string of blind dates, and something about Harvey's situation and demeanor strikes a sympathetic chord in the lonely civil servant. Likewise, Kate's intelligence and compassion prove unexpectedly invigorating to Harvey. Both Harvey and Kate had always assumed that love had passed them by -- could this middle-aged romance be the glimmer of a new beginning? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A diminutive mouse strives to make a mammoth change in his troubled kingdom in this adaptation of author Kate DiCamillo's Newbery Medal-winning children's book. A long time ago, in the distant kingdom of Dor, a horrible accident broke the heart of the king, left a beautiful princess crestfallen, and filled the townspeople with despair. As the sun disappeared from the sky and the flowers were drained of color, the laughter slowly ceased in this once-magical land. It was into this darkened world that a tiny mouse named Despereaux Tilling was born, and while this virtuous little rodent may have been short in stature, his bravery was ultimately too big for such a small world to contain. An unlikely hero with oversized ears and a discernible wheeze, Despereaux was taken with tales of chivalry, and longed to one day become a noble figure among his people. Sometimes in order to realize their true destiny, heroes must first experience great hardship, however, and when Despereaux fails to adhere to the rigid rules of his society, he is banished from Dor.
Later, while exploring the outer realms, the lonely Despereaux is joined by a kindhearted rat named Roscuro. Roscuro, too, has been excommunicated from his homeland, and still cannot stand to look into a mirror lest he be reminded of his painful past. Later, as Despereaux embarks on a treacherous quest to rescue the endangered Princess Pea, Roscuro is set down the path of self-destruction after receiving a painful rejection from his highness. Now, on their way to realizing their extraordinary destinies, these two unlikely heroes will face off against the malevolent leader of the sewer rats, who is plotting revenge on humans from his subterranean kingdom; befriend a common serving girl who longs to become princess; and meet a whole host of colorful characters that they will never forget. Matthew Broderick, Dustin Hoffman, Emma Watson, and Tracey Ullman lead a powerhouse cast in this animated feature produced by Gary Ross and Allison Thomas. Also lending voices to the project are Sigourney Weaver, Kevin Kline, Stanley Tucci, William H. Macy, and Christopher Lloyd. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A documentary adaptation of the popular regional theatrical monologue -- in which such heavyweights as Paul Newman, Nathan Lane, and Joe Mantegna essayed the lead on various occasions -- Trumbo recounts the life and times of legendary Hollywood scribe-turned-HUAC scapegoat Dalton Trumbo. As with its source production, the film takes as its base material highly personal, detailed, and emotive letters written by Dalton Trumbo to his son, Christopher; the latter, in turn, molded the missives into a screenplay for this production. Here, however, in lieu of one actor portraying Dalton, a number of celebrities take turns narrating from the script, including Lane, Paul Giamatti, Brian Dennehy, Donald Sutherland, and others. As a visual accompaniment, the film intercuts home-movie footage from the Trumbos' lives; incisive interview material with Trumbo, his family, friends, and collaborators; and haunting glimpses of the HUAC trial hearings with the Hollywood Ten, led by Senator Joseph McCarthy; as well as extracts from The Sandpiper, Johnny Got His Gun, Spartacus, and other productions authored by Trumbo. Peter Askin, who helmed the stage play, directs. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

An obsessive French perfumer with a highly developed olfactory sense and an all-consuming drive to capture the essence of love eventually resorts to murder in his unrepentant quest to find the key ingredient for his recipe in director Tom Tykwer's adaptation of author Patrick Suskind's best-selling 1985 novel. Born in a fetid fish market and raised in a dilapidated orphanage, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Ben Whishaw) toiled his childhood away in a rank tannery run by the thuggish Grimal (Sam Douglas). Subsequently obsessed by smell, Grenouille's keen olfactory sense becomes so finely tuned that it eventually overpowers such human qualities as love and compassion. Though he has indeed discovered the unmistakable scent of a woman, Grenouille finds it impossible to connect with the fairer sex on any sort of meaningful level. Roaming the streets of Paris late one night, Grenouille catches the scent of a young girl selling plums and impulsively strangles her, later sniffing her nude corpse in a twisted attempt to preserve the distinctive scent in his memory. After persuading legendary perfumer Giuseppe Baldini (Dustin Hoffman) to take him on as an apprentice, Grenouille travels to the town of Grasse in Southern France in order to learn the art of enfleurage at a firm run by the highly respected Mme. Arnulfi (Corinna Harfouch). It is there that Grenouille becomes dangerously drawn to the vestal aroma of the young and beautiful Laura (Rachel Hurd-Wood), the daughter of widower merchant Antione Richis (Alan Rickman). Soon driven to madness by such a pure scent, the spellbound Grenouille continues to claim the lives of the numerous young girls in a tragic attempt to bottle the impossibly elusive smell of virginal womanhood. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A socially isolated IRS agent whose every move is documented by a disembodied female voice discovers that his life is the subject of a book currently being written by a best-selling author, whose creative block has stunted her repeated efforts to kill him off, in a quirky fantasy comedy written by Hollywood hot property Zach Helm and directed by Finding Neverland's Marc Forester. Harold Crick (Will Ferrell) lives a life of solitude. Kay Eiffel (Emma Thompson) can't seem to find a way to finish her latest book. Though Harold and Kay have never actually met, their fates are about to become intertwined in a most unusual manner. With her publishers growing increasingly impatient with her apparent inability to put the finishing touches on her latest novel, Kay is assigned a new assistant whose task it is to help provide the creative push needed to get her book finished and into the hands of her many eager fans. The subject of Kay's novel is a lonely and despairing IRS agent named Harold Crick, who believes that his life has lost any real meaning. As Kay continues to weave Harold's woeful tale without realizing that her protagonist is actually a living human being unable to concentrate on his life and career due to the constant interference of the narrator who inexplicably seems to anticipate his every move and read his every thought, her continued efforts to kill her perplexed subject finally provide him with the incentive needed to fully experience life by seeking out the source of the voice that plagues him. Penned by the screenwriter named by Variety magazine as one of the "Top Ten Writers to Watch" and who was also included in Esquire magazine's "Best and Brightest" list of 2004, Stranger Than Fiction features supporting performances by Maggie Gyllenhaal, Dustin Hoffman, and Queen Latifah. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A horse of a different pattern becomes a spoiler in a high-stakes race in the family-friendly comedy-drama. Nolan Walsh (Bruce Greenwood) is a farmer who once earned his living training racehorses before his wife was killed in an accident while riding, which led him to leave the racing game. Nolan tends to his farm and looks after his daughter Channing (Hayden Panettiere) and a large flock of animals, who speak to one another but not to humans. After a traveling circus passes through town, a zebra pony is left behind; Nolan takes in the animal, intending to return it to the circus, but at Channing's insistence they keep the zebra, naming him Stripes (voiced by Frankie Muniz). Channing loves Stripes, and the zebra is welcomed by the other critters on the farm, including grumpy Shetland pony Tucker (voiced by Dustin Hoffman), slow-moving hound dog Lightning (voiced by Snoop Dogg), a New Jersey-born pelican named Goose (voiced by Joe Pantoliano), skinny-brained rooster Reggie (voiced by Jeff Foxworthy), and deep-thinking goat Franny (voiced by Whoopi Goldberg). Channing discovers that Stripes can outrun nearly any horse around, and Woodzie (M. Emmett Walsh), a local character who has spent years handicapping the ponies, is convinced the zebra would be shoo-in in the Kentucky Open, a prestigious race held at the estate of champion horse breeder Clara Dalrymple (Wendie Malick). Channing believes Stripes can win, but he'll need the help of Nolan, who isn't so sure he's ready to start training again; meanwhile, Stripes gets plenty of advice from the other farm animals about his big step onto the race track. Mandy Moore, David Spade, and Steve Harvey also contribute their voice talents to the picture. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

After suffering the humiliation of being given the third degree by his girlfriend's father, one man now faces the even more embarrassing task of introducing his own mother and father in this star-studded sequel to the box-office smash Meet the Parents. After getting off on the wrong foot (to put it mildly) with his prospective in-laws, Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) has finally won the grudging approval of Jack and Dina Byrnes (Robert De Niro and Blythe Danner) to marry their daughter Pam (Teri Polo). But after clearing the first hurdle, now Greg has to face an even bigger challenge -- introducing the straight-laced Byrnes family to his folks, free-spirited sex therapist Roz (Barbra Streisand) and eccentrically open-minded Bernie, who blend with Pam's parents not quite as well as oil and water.

Five years after achieving commercial and critical success with his film Three Kings, director and screenwriter David O. Russell returns to the more idiosyncratic territory of his earlier work with this intelligent and offbeat comedy. Bernard and Vivian Jaffe (Dustin Hoffman and Lily Tomlin) are a married couple who run an existential detective agency where they sift through the lives of their clients in order to discover the source of their angst. The Jaffes' latest client is Albert Markovski (Jason Schwartzman), an environmental activist who has a very large rock and a great deal on his mind; their study of Albert's problems lead Bernard and Vivian to Brad Stand (Jude Law), a public relations executive with a chain of successful variety stores, Huckabees. While publicly allying himself with Albert's environmental initiatives, behind the scenes Brad is running roughshod over responsible land management with little care for the consequences. When Brad learns he's being watched by the Jaffes, he hopes to co-opt them by hiring them himself; however, the plan has unexpected consequences when their questioning leads Brad's girlfriend, well-scrubbed model Dawn (Naomi Watts), into reassessing her life and relationships. Meanwhile, Albert finds himself joining forces with Tommy (Mark Wahlberg), a firefighter and fellow environmentalist who has been having second thoughts about Bernard and Vivian's ideas and methods after a long-term investigation and has since fallen under the spell of nihilist poet and philosopher Caterine Vauban (Isabelle Huppert). ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Three people attempt to bend justice for their own purposes in this drama based on the best-selling novel by John Grisham. After a man dies in a shooting incident, his wife files a lawsuit against the company that manufactured the gun, with her lawyer, Wendell Rohr (Dustin Hoffman), arguing that the firm in question knew the shop which sold the weapon was not following federal regulations pertaining to the sale of firearms. As the case goes to trial, the firearm manufacturer is taking no chances on the outcome of a potentially devastating case, and they hire as part of their legal team Rankin Fitch (Gene Hackman), a "jury consultant" who makes it his business to see that he knows enough about the jurors to be able to guarantee the result of the trial. Fitch and his team have learned incriminating secrets about nearly everyone hearing the evidence, but Fitch discovers two factors he wasn't counting upon -- Nick Easter (John Cusack), the jury member who appears to have an agenda all his own, and Marlee (Rachel Weisz), a mysterious woman who has her own plans regarding bending the jury to her will. Bruce Davison, Jeremy Piven, and Bruce McGill round out the supporting cast. Incidentally, in John Grisham's original book, the case was filed against a cigarette manufacturer, but the producers opted to adjust the story after several real-life trials against tobacco companies. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Coproduced by the DiC animation firm and PBS, Liberty's Kids was a half-hour historical cartoon series set during the American Revolution. The principal characters were Sarah Phillips and James Hiller, apprentices both to the multifaceted Benjamin Franklin. The fact that Sarah was loyal to the British and James was a 100-percent "Yankee Doodle" added to the cultural diversity of the series, as did the presence of James' friend Moses, a freed slave, and Henri, an eight-year-old French street urchin unofficially adopted by James and Moses. The series' real drawing card was its stellar cast of voice actors, portraying the many historical personages with whom Sarah, James, Moses, and Henri came into contact. For example, Ben Franklin was voiced by veteran newscaster Walter Cronkite (who even got to say "That's the way it is" on occasion); Michael Douglas was heard as Patrick Henry; Sylvester Stallone enacted Paul Revere; Dustin Hoffman interpreted notorious turncoat Benedict Arnold; and Arnold Schwarzenegger managed to sneak an "I'll be back" into his characterization of Baron Von Steuben. Geared for children aged seven to 12, Liberty's Kids joined the PBS daytime manifest on September 2, 2002. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

LoL, I still have a Full Tower from Alienware, got it as barebone as possible and a year later rebuilt what I wanted in it, next upgrade I think it will become my blue w/blue LED'd server, lol. A well built case (before they sold out of the US). BTW I heard they were bought back US side, true?
I dont know what to say about this case, i think its flare is gone. I used to be in love w/ the alienware cases. Not so much anymore. Still a decent looking case, but IMO Lian-li or Silverstone FTW!
I bought the previous model some time ago on Ebay for $140. I think it looks better than that one. And is very useful cause they're very very very big.
Do they still route the front USB ports as extended USB cables that plug into the back of the motherboard? My friend purchased one back in 2003, and rather have a USB header that plugged into the motherboard internally Alienware had long cables from the front USB ports that plugged into the back of the motherboard. Luckily the Intel board they used had six total in the back, but that still seems ridiculous.

State Rep. Willis to hold town meeting to hear from residents
ADDISON – A public town hall meeting will be held next week to give information to residents about developments in Springfield and to hear residents' thoughts and concerns.
State Rep. Kathleen Willis will hold the meeting at 6 p.m. July 25 at the Addison Public Library, 4 Friendship Plaza.
"While progress was made in providing some tax relief to local homeowners and in passing a budget that cut the pay of lawmakers and paid down $2 billion in unpaid bills, much work remains," Willis said.

Rochester-area nurses on average earn less than their counterparts nationally and downstate but are paid comparably to nurses in the Albany and Syracuse regions.
Data released Thursday by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics put the average annual salary earned by Rochester-area registered nurses as of May at $59,660 and the average annual pay of area licensed practical nurses at $37,790.
That compares to $67,930 for RNs and $42,400 for LPNs nationally. Across the state, RNs' average pay is $74,100 and LPNs' make an average of $44,250 a year.
Bringing up the state average is the $80,680 average yearly wage earned by RNs and the $50,790 a year LPNs earn in New York City, Long Island and Northern New Jersey. Also more highly paid are RNs and LPNs in the Poughkeepsie-Newburgh-Middletown region, who respectively earn average annual salaries of $70,660 and $44,580. RNs and LPNs in the White Plains, northern New York City and Wayne, N.J. area, also earn more, an average of $82,440 and $50,080, respectively.
Albany and Syracuse nurses collect much the same pay as Rochester nurses—$58,570 average annual salaries for Syracuse RNs and $38,170 a year on average for LPNs. The BLS calculates that RNs in New York's Capital District earn $59,040 on average. LPNs in that region, which includes Albany, Schenectady and Troy, earn $38,170 a year on average.

Dry Valleys, Antarctica
But the South American desert is not even the driest place on earth. That honour goes to the aptly named Dry Valleys in Antarctica, which are snow free, and where there are never any sign of moisture. Look upon this landscape and it is easy to imagine a post-apocalypse world without hope of sustaining life.

Laurie Decker will make Central Coast history on Thursday. Decker will coach her first game as San Luis Obispo High's boys basketball head coach when the Tigers open the season at home against Independence out of Bakersfield at 5pm.
Decker previously coached girls programs at San Luis Obispo High and Nipomo High, but she will become the first woman to coach a varsity boys basketball game on the Central Coast.
The players admit it was a little unusual at first. "It's kind of different for us because a lot of us haven't had a girl coach growing up and playing club and everything. But we kind of adjusted to it, over summer and it's going pretty good so far," said senior guard Blake Shapazian. "She has experience and she's teaching us a lot of new stuff."
Decker was a former basketball star herself. She was the first two-time winner of the Miss Basketball award in Minnesota. She won the award in 1986 and 1987 while playing for Rochester Lourdes High. She went on to play four seasons on scholarship at Iowa State before taking a job as an assistant at Cal Poly for two season.
"She's great, she's really pushing us to make sure we're going a hundred percent all the time. In her room at lunch watching film all the time," added senior forward Parker Lauritzen.
The Tigers finished one game above .500 last season. Once again, they don't have a lot of size on the team.
"We're really excited about how hard the boys have worked in the offseason. We're excited about the leadership from our senior class and we're just establishing something that the community can get behind and that we're proud of putting on the floor," said Decker, who insists she's not about making history and is about winning games and teaching her players on and off the court.

Irish workers rebuild World Trade Center after 9/11 tragedy
Irish father and son , side by side, help reshape New York skyline
A 16-acre site the redevelopment of Ground Zero is visibly progressing as the rebirth of Lower Manhattan takes form. MOLLY MULDOON talks to some Irish workers who are helping shape the future of the New York skyline.
Patrick O'Shea was only 11 when the planes hit the World Trade Center September 11, 2001.
"I was at school and everyone started getting phone calls. My mom came and collected us, we went to a church to say a couple of prayers and waited for my father to come home," O'Shea says.
In Midtown Manhattan, Patrick's father John, originally from Molls Gap in Co. Kerry was sheet rocking on the job when the first plane hit the World Trade Center.
"Looking south from Herald Square I could see the towers on fire," O'Shea recalls.
"An hour later one of the towers was gone. There was an eerie feeling. We knew we were under attack and that we had to get out of the city, that anything could happen at any time.
"I got a cab up to the George Washington Bridge and took the dollar bus home to New Jersey to be with my family."

Remembering the victims - new 9/11 memorial exhibit opens in Washington
Irish workers now play key role in building 9/11 Freedom Tower
A decade on, John and his son Patrick are now working on the new Four World Trade Center on the site of Ground Zero, a job they both describe as very special.
"People paid the ultimate price and we are privileged to be working here," John told the Irish Voice.
"We consider it a very special place to working here. It's 10 years ago almost to the day, and it's our duty to try and bring this place back to bigger and better than before."
O'Shea, who emigrated from Kerry in 1982, works as a foreman with Eurotech Construction and specializes in safety protection.
Speaking to the Irish Voice from the second floor Four World Trade, John O'Shea's busy day is already well underway.
"We are in charge of keeping all the building and the workers safe," he said.
"Our goal is zero accidents and zero fatalities and so far we have not had one serious accident, only minor cuts and bruises."
The grueling work routine consists of six-day weeks, a minimum of eight hours a day commencing at 7 a.m. Up against the elements of the harsh New York climate, the weather can have an adverse affect on site progress.
"Now we are making great progress. Last winter we lost time with the weather. When the wind and rain gets excessive we need to stop, but the summer temperatures mean we are ahead of schedule." John said.
According to John, the enormity of the task at hand, coupled with the significance of the development has resulted in a real sense of unity among workers on site.
"This is a special job and people seem to pull together a lot better town here, there is not that much bickering," he said.
With more than 3,000 workers on the 16-acre site daily, the Kerry man says there are several Irish tradesmen involved.
"Historically the Irish have been more into construction than other nationalities. We are known for our construction background and we are all pulling together to bring the site back to its former glory," he said.
Patrick O'Shea told the Irish Voice it was a great experience to be working alongside his father on such a major job.
"I thought it would be a great thing to be a part to be of," the third year apprentice carpenter said.

Langley MLA Mary Polak is now in charge or roads around the province, while Fort Langley-Aldergrove's Rich Coleman is deputy premier.
Both Liberal MLAs were moved in Premier Christy Clark's cabinet shuffle, which was caused by the departure of Cloverdale's Kevin Falcon as finance minister and deputy pre-mier last week.
A number of other senior MLAs and cabinet ministers also announced this week they will not run in the next election.
Polak has spent the last year and a half heading up the Ministry for Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation.
The shuffle vaults her into the front rank of cabinet ministers alongside the ministers holding jobs such as forests, education, health, and finance.
"It certainly is key in terms of the premier's job agenda," said Polak of her new ministry.
After being sworn in on Wednesday, Polak was about to get to grips with the key issues of her new job. They include overseeing the last stages of the Port Mann Bridge expansion, and the accompanying Trans Canada Highway widening from Vancouver to Langley.
Then there are BC Ferries routes, which the Crown corporation has said will likely see some cuts in the future.
Polak will likely hold the portfolio until the next election in May 2013.
She plans to stay on to contest the next race, with both the NDP and a newly resurgent B.C. Conservative Party.
"I am in," Polak con-firmed.
Coleman retains most of his previous responsibilities, with his Ministry of Energy and Mines re-dubbed the Ministry of Energy, Mines, and Natural Gas.
The move is to reinforce the importance of natural gas development as an economic driver for B.C., according to a statement for the premier's office.
"We are also taking advantage of B.C.'s trillion-dollar natural gas opportunity and expanding trade with Asia," Clark said in a statement.
Coleman has recently been promoting a massive liquid natural gas infrastructure project. It would see shale gas pumped from the Peace River country, piped through the mountains to Kitimat, and shipped overseas in liquid form, primarily to feed China's hunger for energy.

Overunder, How effective have you found the Tranqualine?
Overunder, How effective have you found the Tranqualine?
Thanks for sharing. I bought the amino acid and magnesium yesterday and will see what happens. Hopefully it will work
is magnesium taurate safe to take?
Magnesium is very very good and I never heard that someone is allergic on magnesium, but if you are not sure you can consult a doctor or take a smaller dose.
I've been taking this combination along with a really good.multi vitamin and extra vitamin d3 because I am deficient . The first 3 days I felt AMAZING. ever since . Not so much. I read somewhere the amino acid starting with a t can actually make you shakey and give you anxiety well I've been having it so bad lately. I've been on xanax probably 8 out of the 10 years I've had anxiety. I certainly am not addicted thank God but I have panicked thinking about not having my .25 to .50 dose in case I start panicking. It's the only thing that will for.sure kick the anxiety. That however makes me livid because that makes me see that it really truly is nothing. Ugh I am going to continue magnesium and amino acids till next week for the 2 weeks but if I don't feel much better I don't see the purpose. I just want to be better and I will practically do anything. I've even started debating being hypnotized.
I started taking Astaxanthin, Vitamin D and Zinc. I felt ok for a week or so, then I added B complex from AOR. Well, for the last couple of days I feel terrible again. I suffer from GAD and depression for the last 10 years and it is the worst thing that ever happened to me. I feel worse every day. I'm 35 now and I'm willing to try anything to get out of it.
I'm now waiting for Amino fuel, magnesium and glutamine. We'll se how it goes but I have to say I am very skeptic. I also tried in the past: Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Hypnosis, alternative medicine, Theanine, Bacopa, Holy Basil, Relora, Fish oil, Magnesium Taurate, Rhodiola Rosea, Lexapro, Citalopram to name a few. Don't let it discourage you... It's only my experience.
Thanks for sharing this, Hanino. I am constantly amazed at how important good nutritional support is for correcting imbalances, even imbalances that we would not initially think of as primarily a physical disorder. It just punctuates nicely, once again, how important all the macro and micro nutrients are to maintaining all aspects of us as humans, including the mind and body, and how inseparable they truly are. How cool of you to discover this! I will pass this along!
I'm so interested in trying the amino fuel since I'm already taking magnesium, does anyone know if I can take it will on anxiety medication? I'm currently on 30 mg avanza a night
Thank you
Hanino, is the regimine something that I should do from now on out (amino acids + magnesium)? Will I build up too much in my system? Just started magnesium but plan to pick up some amino acids soon. Been taking chelated magnesium, but had someone tell me magnesium citrate is better. Opinion? Also, if I'm taking a multivitamin + magnesium, would l-glutamine be sufficient?

You've heard about the bachelor and bachelorette parties, the wedding receptions, and the baby showers. But now some people are actually having divorce parties, recognizing that divorce can be the start of a new life.
Alison Dickenson of The Guardian covers the new trend:
The key, it seems, is not only in the timing but also in making the event a positive one…
Christine Gallagher, author of How to Throw a Breakup Party, has been a divorce-party planner since 2008 and organises two parties a month from her home in Los Angeles. For many of her clients, a breakup party provides a way back in to being seen socially as a single person and perhaps goes some way toward eradicating common fears about having to socialise again without a partner. Around 80% of her clients are women; something that she thinks may be because men find it easier to move on.
"Every significant event in life has a gathering, but divorce has been kept under wraps, perhaps due to the historical stigma," she says. "But it can be helpful to have family and friends around to provide support at times of change and a gathering is simply a formal way of doing that.
"It's about celebrating a person and making them feel positive about the change their life has taken, rather than celebrating the end of the marriage or relationship."
Even the celebrities are doing it. Jack White of the White Stripes announced this week that he will be divorcing his wife of six years, Karen Elson, and marked the occasion by a "positive swing bang hum dinger" in Nashville, TN,
We feel so fortunate for the time we have shared and the time we will continue to spend both separately and together watching our children grow.
What's next? Happy Divorce greeting cards?
