Sorry, Romero. I didn't mean anything personally
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The toughest choice for me when we selected our All-Big 12 team last week was the final position on the first team. Marcus Smart, Jeff Withey, Ben McLemore and Rodney McGruder were easy, no-brainer choices. The difficult one was the last position, coming down to Romero Osby and Pierre Jackson. As I've […]

Opinion: Who is the biggest threat to videogames' legitimacy?
Are games art? Just kidding – this isn't another one of those articles. There sure have been a lot, though, right? The issue of art, and whether games are or aren't it and blah blah blah, has captivated gamers, developers and the press to the point that it's practically a punchline, yet that doesn't stop people from trotting the issue out.
In games' long struggle to gain ground against public perception challenges, the mantle of art has been the best way to dress up the conversation, to enforce that games were grown-up, to hammer home their cultural value. Problem was, applying the word heavily and too eagerly to a still-maturing medium was like throwing a silk tablecloth on top of a bachelor's mess: it birthed endlessly circular arguments on definitions, on the word 'art' itself most of all. Even storied film critic Roger Ebert participated (and probably regrets it now, poor guy).
That's partly because when people bang on about 'art', the word they really want is 'legitimacy'. If art is some lofty and meaningful thing, capable of permanent value to its culture, and if games can be part of that, then no one will misunderstand or make fun of us any more. I mean, really, that's all it's about: if we're having a dialogue about the semantics of art and interaction design instead of about headshots and screenshots then it means we are now cool and adult and important, and not at all stereotypical basement wankers thank you very much.
The relative frequency with which videogames are apparently misinterpreted by our concept of the culture at large – even now when they're part of a multi-billion-dollar business, to say nothing of the days when our scope was much narrower – makes all this needy grasping for legitimacy somewhat understandable, at least in theory. There's increasingly less sympathy for the idea of the niche, marginalised gamer now that we're in the iPhone and Facebook era and everyone plays, but it's fair to say the wider public's understanding of the medium's depth and breadth remains a frustratingly narrow one.
The whole 'art thing' has reared its head again in recent months because of a string of new developments: the US government's National Endowment for the Arts has agreed that games are eligible for art funding grants, the Smithsonian Museum now has an exhibit devoted to the history of games, and New York's Tribeca Film Festival honoured Rockstar and Team Bondi's LA Noire with a showing at the event – the first time a game's been included.
When the government, a renowned art museum and a significant film festival all tip their hat to the art and craft of games, it's no small thing for fans of a medium that's always been seen as a plaything, a lesser form of entertainment or a harmful waste of time. But weirdly, the way gamers react to these kinds of developments in the dignity of games perception, the ways they choose to level their focus, is almost as backward as the views of those they see as enemies of the games.
Following NEA's announcement that 'digital games' would be eligible for funding as part of a newly expanded Arts in Media category, mainstream headlines were breathless, as if videogames had been certified, by official decree, to be art. The unfortunate thing was that the gaming press did the same: US Government Declares Games Are Art, they said; It's Official. The Escapist even used the word 'legally' in its headline, just in case you had doubts.
The fact that the NEA only funds non-profit, tax-exempt organisations – it's not like anyone is validating BioShock with a signed cheque, or even funding a worthy indie – was largely ignored, and so was the question of how interactive entertainment can serve the art landscape.
So were questions like these: does bureaucratic validation make videogames any more relevant or mature? What do videogames gain from being recognised by film critics? Why was the Smithsonian exhibit curated primarily by public vote, the way fansites run their year-end polls?
Would we not know what to strive for, or how to identify ourselves if this discussion were ever put to rest? All this time, it's been 'us versus them', and we've fought the battle by gabbing ourselves hoarse about all the rare and beautiful moments in big-budget videogames that glimmer with the promise of transcendental experiences. Deep down, maybe we know we've been a little heavy-handed, albeit out of necessity. If gamers were 'valid', if we were not persecuted, wouldn't we have to take a hard look at videogames and all of the ways our activist priority hasn't allowed us to admit they let us down?
Wherever you look, others are welcoming games to the table. Now, the biggest enemy of legitimacy for videogames isn't 'others' any more. It's us.

Recap: Diamondbacks 2, Phillies 1
Diamondbacks 2, Phillies 1: Patrick Corbin posted his seventh consecutive quality start this season and helped himself with an RBI groundout as host Arizona won the opener of the four-game series.
Corbin (5-0) threw 6 1/3 innings, allowing one run and four hits before relievers Matt Reynolds, David Hernandez and Heath Bell combined to get the final eight outs with Bell earning his fourth save. After Corbin departed with runners on first and second in the seventh, Reynolds allowed a single and run-scoring groundout to pinch-hitter Kevin Frandsen before ending the inning with the Diamondbacks still leading 2-1.
Phillies starter Cole Hamels (1-5) threw six innings, allowing two runs, six hits and issuing five of the eight walks by Philadelphia pitchers. Delmon Young and Domonic Brown contributed two hits each for the Phillies.
Arizona plated the game's first run in the fifth after Martin Prado and Gerardo Parra, who had two hits apiece, led off with singles before advancing on a groundout. Corbin then grounded out to shortstop, scoring Prado for a 1-0 lead.
The Diamondbacks scored again in the sixth after Cody Ross led off with a double, Miguel Montero walked and both advanced on a groundout. Parra then executed a squeeze play to score Ross for a 2-0 lead.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Charlie Manuel managed his 1,332nd regular-season game for the Phillies, breaking the previous team record set by Gene Mauch from 1960-68. ... Hamels had three games from 2011-12 in which he walked four or more batters in a game. He has three such games in eight starts this season ... The Diamondbacks remain the only major league team that hasn't been shut out this season.

Vernal - the Dinosaur Town
We had another early start, trying to get ahead of the traffic - it's not easy when you have to cross multiple lanes to cross over to another freeway but we got there in the end.
We rode through great little towns - what we would class as real America and stopped in one for morning tea at a diner. The meals were the biggest we have seen so …
Sightseeing in Vernal Utah!
We finally made it to Vernal, Utah! Before we started sightseeing at the Dinosaur National Monument, we filled up gas which cost $24.27 to do so. We also re-stocked our ice chest with more ice, water, bread, Red Bulls, and hot dogs and spent $15.62 re-stocking our food supplies. When drove to the Dinosaur National Monument, we had to pay a $15.00 entrance fee. While we were there, we saw many different types of dinosaur remains, picked up ...

DISA is intrigued by Web services model for creating systems
In a recent test, the Defense Information Systems Agency compared the cost of developing a simple application called the Tech Early Bird on $30,000 worth of in-house servers and software with the costs of developing the same application using the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud from Amazon.com's Web Services. Amazon charged 10 cents a minute for the service, and DISA paid a total of $5 to develop an application that matched the performance of the in-house application.
The test is an example of how DISA has been borrowing ideas from Amazon and other Web-based companies and sites, including Yahoo, Google and Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia. "There may well be a commercial analog for everything we want to do," said Dave Mihelcic, DISA's chief technology officer.
Mihelcic said Defense Department employees could use Web services applications and pay for them by the hour with a government credit card. Such an approach could compress the time needed to acquire, develop or distribute an application or service from months to days or minutes, he said.
DOD agencies have already started to dip into this commercial Web services world, Mihelcic said, and DISA wants to capitalize on those efforts. The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency uses Google Earth to supplement its classified imagery programs, and DISA could add Google Earth images to its centralized servers that DOD users worldwide access, he said.
Air Force Lt. Gen. Charles Croom, DISA's director, said commercial advances in the use of service-oriented architecture, or Web services, could enable revolutionary change in how the agency conducts its business and supports DOD users worldwide. Croom said he believes DOD can adopt such an architecture to lower its traditional systems development costs and accelerate the distribution of new applications.
Croom has the support of John Grimes, DOD's chief information officer and assistant secretary of Defense for networks and information integration. DOD needs to stop acquiring individual, highly tailored systems and instead use Web services, Grimes said.
Commercial firms have started to embrace Web services for application development, said Drew Clark, director of corporate strategy at the IBM Venture Capital Group. Some market research firms predict that by 2011, a quarter of all software will be developed under the software-as-a-service model that meets Croom's requirements.
In some ways, DISA is playing catch up with users. Mapping products from Yahoo and Google are already infused in DOD, Mihelcic said. Internet chat is "the way we manage the war" [in Iraq], he said. Speaking at the U.S. DISA Industry Day last week, Croom said a service-oriented approach is crucial to U.S. forces. "Information is America's greatest weapons system, but processes we have created are holding us back."
Defense Information Systems Agency officials are considering using a Web services model to develop applications and systems for the agency's next-generation command and control systems. DISA's Net-Enabled Command Capability (NECC) would combine databases and other capabilities from different sources, including the military services, said Col. Dave Bennett, DISA's deputy director for command and control system programs.
Wikipedia serves as a good example of how DISA could harvest the Defense Department's knowledge base through an extensible database known as a folksonomy, said Dave Mihelcic, DISA's chief technology officer. Wikipedia defines a folksonomy as user-generated labels for categorizing information such as Web pages, links, content and photos.
To develop NECC incrementally in what DISA refers to as a Federated Development and Certification Environment would require approval from DOD's Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) Office. That office requires end-to-end testing of systems before they are fielded. DISA Director Lt. Gen. Charles Croom said software developed incrementally would be difficult to test end to end.
However, John Grimes, DOD's chief information officer, said OT&E is taking a common-sense approach to developing NECC, and he is confident the office will approve an incremental development approach.

Franklin - Zombies have eaten Mike Zimmerman's life.
The local businessman, who is transforming the former Crystal Ridge ski and recreation area into The Rock, a multi-sport recreation haven, first must deal with Halloween.
Seeing a business opportunity - an idea sparked by his brother, Joe - Zimmerman and company is presenting "The Hill Has Eyes," a haunting experience that takes advantage of the local terrain and the location's former uses.
The experience weaves fact and fiction into three separate parts.
True, Crystal Ridge was developed as a ski hill on a landfill. For the purposes of the Halloween experience, the story is that it is a nuclear waste dump. True, there are a number of abandoned, vehicles, including a mobile home trailer. The story is that those objects are the last vestiges of a small community where its inhabitants turned into radiation-decimated mutants.
Reality check: Never mind that the trailer actually once served for a time as the real home of a land squatter.
Three-part scream
The haunted journey first takes participants through "Failed Escape," a land of mutants who use the wooded area as their refuge. Though they will be warned not to go there by an escort, participants will walk through a creepy junkyard pathway that includes Mack Trucks, autos and homemade shelters before entering the woods. Those who brave the challenge are warned not to fall victim to possible capture, torture and cannibalism.
The second part of the journey reveals those people who failed to escape. As victims' souls are kept hostage, their hollow bodies roam without purpose or direction as they waver between harmlessness and hostility.
A third and final part of the journey takes the truly bravest participants on a ride on the old ski lift to the top of the hill. There, they will encounter what is described as "a maze with more surprises."
Why not now?
The project came together one day when the Zimmerman brothers were discussing a possible Halloween haunt for next year.
"Joe just said, 'Next year? Why not do it this year?' " Mike said. "We jumped on it and got very busy. Joe has taken the lead in putting this together over the past six weeks."
With little experience except as an avid visitor to haunted attractions, Joe briefly tapped the services of a Florida-based "hauntrepreneur" who gave him some advice.
"We wanted to incorporate some things that we have experienced at other attractions, but we also wanted to take advantage of what this site has to offer," Joe said. "It's been a lot of work, but we expect it to be successful."
The Zimmerman brothers pointed out that they have learned what works and what doesn't through a soft opening for hundreds of family members and friends. They hope to attract thousands more, but they will send customers through in small groups.
"They told us they really liked it, but they wanted our characters to not just jump out and go 'boo,' " Joe said.
In fact, two lead actors with experience are training a band of 50 to be as creepy as possible as they play out their roles amid a host of horrific inanimate objects.
Javen Smith, a Racine native who has studied acting and music, is one of the leads.
"I thought this would be a fun experience, and it is," Smith said. "We really work as hard as we can to make the entire experience look real."
He said it takes practice to be a member of the walking dead or another creepy character.
Want to 'hang around?'
"The Hill Has Eyes" also features a place for participants to gather before and after their three-part journey. A tent for beverages and two fire pits will help separate age groups. It's all part of a "PG-13" rating that requires anyone under the age of 13 to be accompanied by an adult.
"We want to make this a destination for people and not just a quick visit," said Alison Graettinger, marketing director for The Rock.
Graettinger and Mike Zimmerman said Halloween is a good opportunity to introduce people to The Rock, which eventually will include a potpourri of sports venues including baseball diamonds as well as winter activities for all ages.

WHERE:7900 Crystal Ridge Road, Franklin
WHEN: starting at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 12-13, 19-20 and 25-27

My Top 10 Favorite Video Games of All Time
Captain of the Zanarkand Abes
on 08.20.2013
Alright, for those of you with good memory, I already revealed my top 10 games in full view on the right side of this here page. The thing is, I couldn't hold it in anymore. I feel like it wouldn't be right for me to say what my favorite games are without explaining why ever so. With that said, it's time for me to share why exactly the games I chose are special to me, starting out with my number 10 cop out.
#10 Every Fucking Gradius Game Ever
Yeeeeeap. The Gradius games are so good, it's an all out tie between every game in the series, but the real reason why it's a tie is because I don't think I'd ever feel satisfied just having one over another. You play as a lone space ship called the Vic Viper and what you do is shoot as many enemies as you can so you can build up a large array of weaponry to help aide you on you're mission They all have cool levels, they all look visually impressive, and good god, the soundtrack! It's just simply Konami!
#9 The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
You know it's funny. I see myself more as a Zelda enthusiast than I do as a person who ACTUALLY plays Zelda games. Wind Waker, however, just came completely out of nowhere, and what is there NOT to like about this game? Sailing around alone in a giant sea filled with discovery, the pretty cel shaded graphics, a talking lion boat. A TALKING LION BOAT!This game get's so much done right and now it's getting an HD makeover!
#8 Jet Set Radio
Ahh, the Dreamcast years. Such an innocent period in gaming kind of. One of the DC's biggest gems is that which is Jet Set Radio. How do I describe it? Well, think of Pac-Man but with gang related turf wars and the police constantly on you're ass. This game also sports colorful cel shaded graphics and the soundtrack is fucking awesome. This game get's bonus points for having the most badass, batshit insane group of antagonists near the end of the game. Growing up with Jet Set Radio Future first as a kid and discovering this title many years down the line along with the Dreamcast, it goes to show that this game certainly stayed fun over the years.
#7 The Simpsons Hit and Run
It's not often you see a licensed game that's so good, it makes it on other people's top 10. The Simpsons had a poor track record of awful games (excluding the arcade game, that was wonderful) up until this beautiful fan servicey game came around. People who love The Simpsons know what I'm talking about here with this game. It get's everything right: a sandbox Springfield, all characters with their right voice actors, a shit ton of references to the show, it's really hard to hate a game that is nothing but a giant love letter to the show. Mr. Plow, Apu's secret roof garden, Homer dressed in his Chosen One attire, getting to ride the Car built for Homer and Canyonero, and I dare not spoil the ending of the game, it's that good!
#6 Pokemon Soul Silver
When I was a wee lad, I remember getting hooked instantly on Pokemon Silver. How I would train my Cyndaquil and the other Pokemon I catch for the coming battles (Then solely focusing on Cyndaquil just to get past fucking Whitney). That was so many years ago though.....then Soul Silver happened. A remake of Silver infused with Gen 4 gameplay and TWICE as many Pokemon to deal with! The remake did justice to the Gen 2 games, having Pokemon walk and interact with you, the beautiful remake of the soundtrack (As well as keeping the 8-bit old one with an in game item), and elements of Gen 3 & 4 being thrown in to make the experience more worthwhile. Plus the PokeWalker that comes with the game is a great way to train pokemon while being off duty. It's hard for any Pokemon fan to deny the greatness that is Soul Silver.
#5 Sonic The Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles
I've already made it quite public how much of a Sonic fan I am, even going out of my way to defend Sonic 4, seriously, Sonic 4 and Mega Man 10 always get the shit end of the stick. Er um, any who, If I had to choose a favorite Sonic game, it is most certainly 3 & Knuckles. Sonic 3&K did things that many wish they could do. Lock On Technology, a giant story, 3 playable characters, a shit ton of levels, pretty graphics for the Genesis, they even got Michael Jackson to compose some of the game's music! A game where you can allow Knuckles to play through the levels of Sonic 2 is certainly a game that was ahead of it's time.
#4 Super Mario World
Despite being number 4 on my Top 10 list, I can easily say Super Mario World is one of the very few examples where a video game is perfect in every sense of the word. It's Mario level design at it's finest. If you made a game where you have the ability to fly in the air as long as you can AND ride a Yoshi and still make the game a challenge, well you know where I'm going with this, but being perfect is not the only reason this game is on my list. Super Mario World was like, the very first video game I've ever seen, and I'd make the mistake of thinking that the game was a cartoon on TV. It's visual presentation really made it look like a 90's cartoon and to this day I still find that to be believable. Same goes for any 16 bit game too.
#3 Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
Harharhar, get it? Kong Quest, Conquest. I so smrt. Seriously though, this game right here deserves the title of Coolest video game ever. I mean it, I see this game as Rare's magnum opus. A game where you travel to the most bad ass video game location ever and fight off a swarm of crocodile pirates and ghosts with one of the best soundtracks going on in the background. Need I say more? With the looks of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, the most recent entry in the series being announced, it looks like it is shaping up to put up a fight with Rare's trilogy unlike Return's where it was an omage to the trilogy. Here's hoping Retro delivers that punch the DKC series really needs (Also BRING BACK K. ROOL!!!)
#2 Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Metal Gear is one of my all time favorite video game series and every entry is a masterpiece, but between MGS1, 2 & 3, I'm putting my vote towards 3! MGS3 took an interesting detour with exploring the past of one of the series villains, Big Boss, then known as Naked Snake, as he set's about saving the world from all out nuclear war during the Cold War era. There's so much to play with in this game, the camouflage, weapons sand equipment, and the beautiful scenery of the jungle. The thing is, between MGS1, 2, & 3. I find 3 to have the most flaws, like The Pain & The Fear's boss battle were never that fun, and the time you spend on the menu's switching camouflage can be boring, worst yet the painfully slow beginning and how you're constantly stuck in the same area can be testing to one's patience. However, the strengths this game has are so good, it makes the flaws forgivable. Hell, play the Subsistence version of the game and you won't even notice them. The game has a lot of my favorite moments in the series as well as really fantastic memories. With MGSV coming out, just from the looks of the trailers and the information provided, I might replace 3 with V if it's as good as it looks.
#1 Paper Mario & Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
Surprise Surprise! A tie! The thing is almost every ranking ended in a tie. MGS1,2 or 3, Jet Set Radio or JSRF, Mario World or Mario 3, I think I'm allowed this one. That being said it really is tough to decide which is better when they are SO equal it's not even funny. Logically I'd say Thousand Year Door just because it's a sequel and sequels mean their stepping their game up, EXCEPT for the fact that Paper Mario has it's own advantages that even The Thousand Year Door doesn't have.
As for why they are #1, look at them. They are such fun games. There are so many moments in these games that are memorable. The characters really stand out unlike any other. Lady Bow, Rawk Hawk, Raphael Raven, The Koopa Bros. Being obvious parodies of TMNT. The battle system especially in TTYD is really fun. Let's not forget Paper Mario having probably the most satisfying video game endings I've ever seen. I know I'm doing a horrible job explaining why the Paper Mario games are my favorite of all time but that's the thing. Words cannot express my admiration for the Paper Mario games ESPECIALLY when they were the sole reason as to why I got into drawing in the first place. I think it would take an entire blog to really express my feelings for the games. I feel like if there was ever a point where I have to throw in the towel for gaming, it's when a proper Paper Mario 3 is released. So that's my Top 10, Not much else for me to say except, LONG LIVE THE GREAT GONZALES!!!
Special Mentions: NiGHTS Into Dreams, Mega Man 10, F Zero, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Um Jammer Lammy

How to have a Beach Wedding in Southern California. Phones numbers for getting information for beach weddings in Malibu, and the counties of L.A., Orange, San Diego,and Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. Scroll down. Get the info you need. In the years that we have been publishing On the Beach, we have had numerous requests for information on how to have a beach wedding. In this report, we tell you about some of the most popular beaches for weddings and how you go about getting a permit. Yes, in just about every case, you will need a permit, and often you have to get the permit up to a year in advance. The good news, though, is that the permits are relatively inexpensive. Before we share our information with you, let me tell you about a beach wedding that we attended. Our neighbors Mike and Donna chose to get married on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean in La Jolla, California. When you have a beach wedding you have to expect and be prepared for wind, blowing sand, hot sun, and, even in California, rain. Mike and Donna were prepared, as were the 50 or so guests, but Mother Nature was kind. There was no wind, no rain, and even the sun wasn't too hot or too bright. The marriage ceremony took place with the Pacific Ocean as a backdrop. We sat in chairs on the lawn on the bluff. Even though La Jolla is a popular place on a beautiful summer sunny day, the nature of this tiny city owned pocket park is that you're not distracted by the people strolling by on the sidewalk. This is partly because the park sits about six feet below the level of the sidewalk. It was this liitle bluff behind us that did pose a problem. Sitting 20 feet behind us was the table holding the tiered wedding cake. The small bluff behind the table was the home for several ground squirrels. Just as the wedding ceremony came to an end, we heard a crash behind us. All of the guests turned their eyes towards the table. The cake was on the ground, laying on its side, a squirrel was right in the middle of the side of the cake. Frosting covered his face. My wife jumped up and chased him away. Several other people helped her pick up the cake and get it back on the table. I told you that Mike and Donna were prepared, and they handled this situation with a laugh. When the rest of us saw that there was no panic on the part of the bride and groom, we joined in with the laughter. It was a wedding that we will all remember fondly. And what did it cost to reserve the park for the afternoon? The cost was $34.50. We've put together the following information to help you get started on setting up a beach wedding. Keep in mind that things change. Rather than quote you specific rates and rules, we're keeping to just giving you some phone numbers and links for the most popular beaches for weddings in Southern California.

Rich Boy - Ghetto Rich (Remix) ft. John Legend, Lil' Wayne & Nas
Artist: Rich Boy
Featuring: Lil Wayne, Nas, John Legend
Producer: Polow da Don
Album: Self-Titled
Avg Rating: 4.7 ( 144 votes )
As Mobile, Alabama-native, Rich Boy prepares his sophomore album (tentatively titled Buried Alive), a better-late-than-never, remixed version of Ghetto Rich has been properly released. Following Throw Some D's, Boy Looka Here, Good Things and Let's Get This Paper, it is clear what direction RB will be taking with his music in 2008. Intact from the original are Rich's first verse, the singing of John Legend and a sharp beat from Polow da Don; added to heighten the quality-level are two of the game's best lyricists, Nas and Lil' Wayne. Since the Heart of Dixie has been a centerpiece to African-American history, Rich Boy's Southern roots are a fitting release to help kick off Black History Month.

Inside National Health Reform (Hardcover)
Not currently shipping from publisher – Subject to future availability
This indispensable guide to the Affordable Care Act, our new national health care law, lends an insider's deep understanding of policy to a lively and absorbing account of the extraordinary--and extraordinarily ambitious--legislative effort to reform the nation's health care system. Dr. John E. McDonough, DPH, a health policy expert who served as an advisor to the late Senator Edward Kennedy, provides a vivid picture of the intense effort required to bring this legislation into law. McDonough clearly explains the ACA's inner workings, revealing the rich landscape of the issues, policies, and controversies embedded in the law yet unknown to most Americans. In his account of these historic events, McDonough takes us through the process from the 2008 presidential campaign to the moment in 2010 when President Obama signed the bill into law. At a time when the nation is taking a second look at the ACA, "Inside National Health Reform" provides the essential information for Americans to make informed judgments about this landmark law.

- Enjoy a delicious menu of traditional Spanish and Mediterranean tapas designed by internationally renowned chef Peter Gordon.
- Grab a $50 food and beverage voucher at Bellota for only $25.
- Keen for more delicious dining? Pay $50 for a $100 voucher.
- Soak up the authentic Spanish atmosphere with good company, great music and fabulous Spanish wines and tapas.
It seems like some things are tough to improve. Take dinner, for instance – a gorgeous plate of steaming goodness and delicious flavours. However, what if rather than just one plate of dinner there were many different plates of many different flavours? Not just a foodie's dream – a reality, thanks to tapas.
We've got one of the most authentic tapas experiences you'll find in Auckland, thanks to international chef Peter Gordon's popular Spanish-style tapas bar, Bellota at SKYCITY. Try it for yourself by grabbing a $50 food and beverage voucher at Bellota (pronounced bey-otta) for just $25. Keen for more delicious dining? Pay $50 for a $100 voucher.
Stepping into Bellota feels like you've stepped into a tapas bar in Madrid. Tapas plates and little dishes scatter the tables, friends laugh over jugs of sangria and couples enjoy intimate conversation in the private booths. The authentic menu is stuffed with all the basics of Spanish cuisine - starting with crusty bread, olives, nuts, pickles and fine cheeses. Then there's a range of pintxos and montaditos (small bread-based tapas meaning 'little mounds') and hot delicious bites of tapas, such as snapper ceviche, crumbed deep-fried goat cheese, crispy squid tentacles, cheese stuffed figs on salad, green-lipped mussels and homemade ricotta and chimichurri salsa. Be sure to save some space for the sweet desserts and extensive beverage list, including sherry, wines and cocktails.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I literally went through different photos of my fiancé and I until I found one that would fit. And once I decided on a picture I wanted to find a layout that would match. And I must say the one we picked went perfect with what we were looking for."
"These magnets were everything we wanted and more! Wedding Paper Divas' website was easy to use and navigate. I was able to personalize the color and text font with ease. I was worried that the pictures we used wouldn't show up well when printed on magnets but they turned out beautiful and very clear. I accidentally ordered the wrong saved draft and immediately called customer service to cancel the order. They were courteous and got everything taken care of quickly. I ordered the correct draft and they showed up at my doorstep a week later! Can't wait to send them out!!"
"I was really impressed with the quality of these! They came out amazing and everyone loved them! Thanks Wedding Paper Divas!"
"We ordered this as a magnet and it's perfect! Picture quality is great and we adjusted the design so the date is a little bigger, which is what we wanted. I would highly suggest it to anyone else."
"I loved the how the colors came out. I designed it to have a black and white picture but the lettering to be a beautiful light pink/blush like the wedding. Everyone who received our save the dates mentioned how pretty they were, The quality of the paper and how our picture came out was perfect. I have now used Wedding Paper Divas for my shower invitations and wedding invitations. This will be my go to place for any invitations I will need. The team is professional and so prompt with proof reading. I love WPD!"

($85) Full medium ruby. Superripe nose is distinctly porty yet bright. Then lush and deep in the mouth, with explosive, superripe flavors of blackberry, black raspberry, licorice and bitter chocolate. Boasts terrific sweetness and depth but distinctly bound-up today, even a bit medicinal. Finishes with powerful but thoroughly ripe tannins. Not now as harmonious as it seemed from barrel, but this may well merit a higher score with bottle aging.
