They wrote on Facebook, “With all the excitement for today’s premiere of Blue Miracle on Netflix we wanted to share with you another heartwarming layer to the story.” It was the kind of movie that, as a father, I would want to take my kids to see.” Casa Hogar’s thoughts on the movieĬasa Hogar has been gaining an increasing amount of attention due to the movie’s release. Producer Trey Reynolds added to Quintana’s thoughts, expressing, “We were attracted to the film because it had all the elements of a true underdog story, combined with sports, and a strong faith-based message. He shared, “My first reaction was ‘this is too unbelievable to be real,’ but once I realized it was true and they won and used the money to save the orphanage, I just had to be a part of it.” They wrote, “Blue Miracle is an exciting, family-friendly movie loosely based on a Casa Hogar story from 2014.”īlue Miracle’s co-writer and director Julio Quintana shared his journey towards making the film, crediting Casa Hogar for its inspiration. On the organization’s website, they share their thoughts on the recent Netflix drama. The real orphanage Casa Hogar Cabo is an organization that strives to help children who are in need. Surprising to many, this movie is based on a true story. It has received average reception from many critics, gaining a 60 percent from Rotten Tomatoes. The movie was released onto Netflix on May 27 and has since, wowed its audience. The story is surprisingly sweet as the group forms unexpected bonds and learns important life lessons. Orphanage director ‘Papa’ Omar (Jimmy Gonzales) recruits a few of his boys and teams up with the grumpy fisherman Wade Malloy ( Dennis Quaid) in hopes of winning the cash prize of $250,000. After the organization finds itself in financial ruins after a natural disaster, the director turns to a competitive fishing competition in hopes of winning the large cash prize.

If the queue in the pics is it (perhaps there is more?), shields and painted rocks seem very simple compared to themed queues elsewhere (including Universal's own IOA). The queue was rumored to be heavily themed. I could be wrong, but it has been reported elsewhere that the smells that were originally to be part of the "4D" effect were cut for some reason (I think they couldn't get it to work right).įor those interested, have several pictures of the new attraction, including the queue, the preshow dungeon room, the actual theater and the gift shop ) ).įrom those pics, I wonder what happened, since the rumors about this new attraction talked about the "heavy themeing" that it was to have. As soon as they open it up to all CM's, I'm there. Oh well, at least I have Space to look forward too. In the movie, Farquad was only interested in Fiona so he could be king, and he was repulsed when he saw her as a ogress, but in the attraction he is suddenly in love with her, even though she's still an ogress. Couldn't they have modified this to make it feel like spider legs moving up your calf? You see spiders and feel tails on your legs. They use the rat tail effect from HISTA for spiders. They use the water effect about five times in all. But, when you're watching the action in a profile view and your seat is making you feel like you're riding a horse, it's just annoying. When they move in reaction to what is on the screen in a first person view, it works. (the spear on the top of the statue in the graveyard.) ![]() The preshow was actually pretty well done, but they tell you that you are headed into the auditorium to be tortured, then they drop that idea immediately and it isn't mentioned at all when you are seated.īarely any of the 3d shots are effective, and only one item seems to actually come off the screen towards you. I'm serious, I don't want to ruin it for you. First off, I find it amazing that they use every chance they get to make fun of disney, while at the same time ripping off every single 4d gag from what disney has already done. ![]() I went to the annual passholders preview of the new shrek attraction at Universal studios tonight. ![]() ![]() ![]() Things get a bit more exciting when you throw the platforming controls into the mix, as well as other abilities you acquire throughout the game. Simply spamming the Y button to send off little spirit orbs can deal with the vast majority of enemies easily. The combat is straightforward, seeming a bit too simple at times, but it does exactly what a game like Ori needs. Ori starts off with a basic moveset, jumping and shooting, but as the game progresses, many more abilities become available, such as double jumping, climbing, swimming, dashing and many more. ![]() Moving around the world of Nibel is smooth and incredibly satisfying thanks to the game’s very tight controls. The majority of the game is focused on platforming with some light puzzles mixed in, and this is some of the best, well controlled platforming I’ve ever witnessed, with fantastic all around level design. There’s some tangible incentive for doing those things as well, with upgrade points, health bar and energy upgrades taking the entirety of the collectables.Įach of the game’s areas has its own unique mechanics and gimmicks to help it feel different. More than once was I surprised with how connected the world felt as I looped back to earlier areas. It gives the world an organic feel by pushing you back to explore the opening areas to find each of the game’s many, many secrets. ![]() most of which won’t be immediately accessible, and in true Metroidvania fashion, will open up as you move through the game and acquire new abilities. Nibel is large and interconnected with a ton of secrets and passageways to discover. Every aspect of the visuals just ooze creativity with a ton of care poured into the world, with each of the game’s areas having a distinctive look and feel. There’s a great usage of colour and lighting that makes the forest burst with life. Literally everything, from the character designs to the background and little details in the worlds, is a delight to look at. The first thing you notice when you boot up Ori is just how beautiful the game is. The main villain’s motivations are understandable and ironically shed a bit of light on its actions. The less that you know about the story, the better, as it’s a brilliantly touching tale with strong storytelling and emotional moments (that freaking intro…). Ori sets out on a journey to restore light to the forest before the darkness consumes it forever. Set in the forest of Nibel, the light of the forest has went out and Ori has become lost. ![]() ![]() ![]() Serve: Scatter the spring onion and sesame seeds over the chicken then serve with noodles.Assemble: Add the chicken and cashews to the sauce and toss to coat.Stir in the honey, about 2 tablespoons for each breast. ![]() Sprinkle the chili powder over the chicken pieces while stirring, so that each piece of chicken gets well coated with the chili powder and marinade. Add the tamari until the marinade turns dark brown (about 2 tablespoons per breast). When oil is hot, add cashews and saute until golden brown and toasted, 1 to 2 minutes (watch carefully to prevent them from burning). Place the cubed chicken in a medium bowl. Heat cooking oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until thick and glossy. Place a paper towel on top of a plate and set that near the stove.

It has a 10-ounce clear reservoir so you can easily keep an eye on the nectar level. This plastic hummingbird feeder from Sewanta is lightweight, well-designed, and affordably priced. Size: 20 ounces | Shape: Inverted | Material: Glass On a positive note, this minor flaw doesn’t seem to discourage regular visitors. The metal ring at the top of the feeder doesn’t fit snugly, causing it to tilt a bit when hanging. The only hiccup to the otherwise solid design is the hanging mechanism. We found that the bottle and the base come apart, so the feeder is easy to clean with a brush in warm, soapy water. The wide-mouth bottle is removable for easy filling and cleaning. With a 20-ounce capacity and five flower-shaped feeding ports (each with its own perch), this feeder offers plenty of room for multiple birds to feed comfortably. And speaking of the glass, we tested the aqua-mint version, and suspect that a red hue would likely attract more birds. Plus, the transparent glass made it easy to monitor the nectar glass. While testing, we especially appreciated that the detachable base is not plastic (many on the market are), but metal with an elegant burnt penny finish. You can also choose among four different colors: blue, purple, aqua-mint, and red. Our favorite glass option, the More Birds Hummingbird Feeder has a vintage-inspired design and is available in several antique bottle shapes, including an elixir bottle and a mason jar. Size: 16 ounces | Shape: Inverted | Material: Plastic Though, on the bright side, the base is equipped with latches and a sealing ring, which prevent the feeder from leaking when it’s fully assembled. Just note that we did find it a bit tricky to open the two pieces on the base, and some nectar spilled out during the cleaning process. It also comes with an S hook, which slips easily onto a tree. Plus, the feeder's wide mouth made it super easy to fill and clean. The First Nature feeder holds 16 ounces of nectar, and we liked that the clear bottle allowed us to see how much nectar remains. The feeder is made of plastic, and while it doesn't feel as nice as glass and metal, it’s less likely to break or rust. There's a ring at the bottom where birds can perch, as well as ten flower-shaped feeding ports. While testing this feeder in one of our own backyards, we noted that the bright red color drew regular visitors. The First Nature Hummingbird Feeder features a simple yet effective design, and it comes at a very affordable price. Size: 8 ounces | Shape: Inverted, Hourglass | Material: Glass The bottle is made of clear glass, however, allowing you to monitor the nectar levels. ![]() Despite their small size, hummingbirds have a good appetite, so you’ll likely have to refill the feeder frequently. The only potential downside to this hummingbird feeder is its relatively small reservoir, which holds up to 8 ounces of nectar. All of the parts-even the built-in bee guards–can be disassembled for a thorough cleaning. Thanks to the wide-mouth bottle, it’s easy to pour the nectar in without spilling it. ![]() This feeder is conveniently designed for easy filling and cleaning. This feeder also has a built-in ant moat at the top of the lid to further deter insects. ![]() There is also a perch below every port so multiple birds can feed at once. Each feeding port has a built-in bee guard to prevent insects from poaching the nectar. This glass feeder comes in two colors-red or clear-and it features four flower-shaped feeding ports to draw in hummingbirds. ![]() With its appealing and user-friendly design, the Perky-Pet Pinchwaist Hummingbird Feeder is our top choice for attracting backyard birds. ![]() ![]() ![]() It introduced an entry-level digital package, restructured rates and rejiggered its channel lineup.īut a software bug and other snafus resulted in a barrage of telephone calls to the cable operator. In September, Cox rolled out several new products and instituted other changes in Phoenix. To date, Qwest has signed up 50,000 to 55,000 subscribers in Phoenix, according to a telco spokesman who couldn't break out how many of those were former Cox subscribers who switched. Steve Rizley, regional vice president of CableRep in Phoenix, has stepped in to serve as interim general manager. Shortly thereafter, in August, veteran general manager Gregg Holmes left the Phoenix system. In July, shares of Cox and other MSOs dropped when stock analysts grew concerned about Cox's competitive woes, particularly in Phoenix.įor the second quarter, Cox's cash flow and revenue growth trailed analysts' expectations, in part because of high marketing costs in Phoenix, the MSO's largest system and most competitive market. Phoenix is a key battleground for Cox, and one that Wall Street is keeping its eye on. CableRep will sell national and local advertising for the network. The all-news Spanish-language channel will be jointly managed by Schwartz and Fran Mallace, general manager of CableRep, the ad-sales arm of Cox Communications in Phoenix. And he isn't aware of anything similar in any other part of the country. Mas! Arizona is certainly the only Spanish-language news channel in the Southwest, according to Belo senior vice president Skip Cass. Roughly 20 people will be hired for the fledgling Hispanic news operation, officials said. "It's been very well received."īut Qwest officials noted that their Phoenix system does offer a variety of Spanish-language services.Īlthough Mas! Arizona will be based at KTVK, it will have its own on-air look and staff. "Nobody else in this market has that package," Johnson said. So far, 5,000 subscribers have taken the TeleLatina tier. The tier debuted with nine Spanish-language networks and recently added a 10th, the Hispanic Television Network. To court these viewers, Cox in July launched TeleLatina, a digital tier of Spanish-language services. "One of our focuses is to meet the needs of the very significant and growing Hispanic customer base in Phoenix."Ībout 20 percent of residents of Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix, are Hispanic. "This is helping to differentiate us from our competitors," said Ivan Johnson, Cox's vice president of community relations and televideo in Phoenix. With both Arizona NewsChannel and Mas! Arizona on its lineup, Cox officials in Phoenix think the system has a nice leg up on both of its local rivals-Qwest and the direct-broadcast satellite providers. U S West, now owned by Qwest, began offering video over telephone lines in Phoenix in 1998, using very-high-speed digital subscriber line (VDSL) technology. To date, Cox has upgraded 75 percent of its hybrid fiber-coaxial cable network in Phoenix, where it offers high-speed Internet access, telephony and video-the same services that rival Qwest Communications International Inc. It will eventually roll out to all 615,000 homes in the cluster. 16, Mas! Arizona will be available to 456,000 expanded-basic subscribers in the upgraded portion of Cox's Phoenix systems. "We know it's an arrangement that works very well." "This kind of arrangement is not new to us," said Sue Schwartz, general manager of independent KTVK, the top-rated broadcaster in the DMA. The cable operator and broadcaster are building on a relationship they started with Arizona NewsChannel, an existing joint venture borne from retransmission consent. The 24-hour service, Mas! Arizona, is a partnership between Cox and Belo, whose KTVK-TV will contribute news-gathering resources. ![]() ![]() ![]() Moreover, it ensures that the crosshair remains unobtrusive and can easily lock onto small and distant heads for that oh-so-perfect headshot.

We were trying to iron and the holes from the ironing board kept coming out of the lights padding□□♀️ No blackout curtains if you plan to stay in bed NOPE. All this money you pay for this hotel and no workers? Ironing board was old as dirt. The 3 trash cans were over flowing with garbage. □ The pool at the sky tower was packed with adults & kids. For the EXTREME price I paid i was expecting a SPARKLING CLEAN GLAMOROUS ROOM. The two room Chairs were dirty and had various strands of hair on it just like the bed. There is a coffee machine, tiny in room refrigerator but NO microwave. The bed & sheets had stains on it & wasn’t as comfy and plush as i thought it would be. I am very anal and take clorox wipes and lysol spray with me to every hotel I stay in. Upon arrival inside the room I found strands of hair on my bed as I was spraying with lysol.
