This August will see the release of Dark Horse's much-anticipated He-Man & She-Ra: A Complete Guide to the Classic Animated Adventures. This behemoth of a book will capture the knowledge of Filmation He-Man and She-Ra cartoon expert James Eatock, with additional important content courtesy of Alex Hawkey and Dusan Mitrovic.
And to celebrate, it will also have its own Limited Edition limited to just 1000 copies for collectors who want something a little extra special on their shelves. This Limited Edition will feature a special faux leather cover with gold foil accents, and a holofoil dust jacket featuring some iconic images of your favorite characters. Click here to check out more info and pre-order details for the Limited Edition.
When it came time to create the art for this cover, the team of Axel Gimenez, Diana Egea Conesa, Jeremy Roberts, and Val Staples were there. Axel is a fan-favorite artist who created and continues to create amazing renditions of MOTU and POP characters. Diana is an inker extraordinaire who has been bringing Axel's pencils to life for years, and Val Staples is a 15+ year veteran comic book and toy artist who has worked on too many He-Man-related projects to list. This interview will take a look at the creative process that brings animated to life in print.
When it came time for the design of the Limited Edition, what initially led to the concept?
Val Staples: "Originally the guide was going to only feature He-Man on the cover. A lot of fans knew She-Ra was going to be in the book and hoped she might also be included in the art. So I proposed a variant to Dark Horse doing exactly that. Dark Horse has been a dream to work with from day one and they were supportive right away. And, as fate would have it, Mattel and DreamWorks went on to approve the addition of She-Ra on the regular edition. So James Eatock went on to rework her into that design in a fantastic way. Meanwhile, I went back to the drawing board on the Limited Edition to create another fun concept.
My goal was to have something that went a step further than the regular edition, and that also played more to our memories of these characters. And in my opinions, few things are as iconic as He-Man and She-Ra's transformation scenes. So right away, the idea for the front cover clicked: He-Man and She-Ra with swords aloft, both their magic energies surrounding them, with He-Man's original magic yellow and orange radiating burst placed behind them to center the characters and create a sense of them exploding off the cover.
But, you can't have the main heroes without the main villains. So the back of the book went on to feature the two baddest fellows in the universe: Skeletor and Hordak. They are centered over a background from Snake Mountain, and are coming at you ready to attack."
So what is so special about this holofoil dust jacket?
Val: "I wanted the cover to come to life. And through my years of printing and publishing, one medium I've grown to like for enhancing the visual appeal of a cover featuring magic is holofoil. It's colorful, reflective properties make the art come to life. When you move the Limited Edition around in your hands, that light will dance around and you will feel the power of Grayskull! Plus, when the book is spine-out on your shelf, should you choose to display it like that, you'll catch elements of the holofoil there as well. It will make the book stand out from all others in your personal library."
And this wraps around a faux leather cover. Tell us more about that.
Val: "The Art of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe also had a Limited Edition. The book inside the slipcase was a red faux leather with silver foil accents, featuring the Sword of Power. But I wanted to change things up for this cover. Diverse color and exciting hues play an important part in the worlds of He-Man and She-Ra. So I went with a faux leather color unique to this volume, which is royal blue. And instead of silver foil, I opted for gold. I also created new Sword of Power and Sword of Protection art that is on-model to the Filmation cartoon, and they are depicted on the cover with blades crossed. ThenDark Horse worked with me to fine tune the layout and make it one heck of a professional product, thanks to their amazing in-house designers."
So for the art on the cover, how did all of that come to pass?
Val: "When it came to the art elements, we wanted to be as Filmation as possible. About ten years ago, I worked with BCI and my own creative team, which included Emiliano Santalucia, to determine the best poses for many of those He-Man and She-Ra DVD sets. A lot of the full body shots used in the animation didn't work as well for static packaging shots. We found that some of the best elements only existed across various pieces of art. For example, there might be a part of Skeletor that looked great but only existed in a cropped torso shot. While the best legs that worked with that torso might have been in another full body shot where the upper body wasn't as dynamic. So by piecing together existing pieces of Filmation cel art and model sheet art, we all decided on what stood out as the strongest possible combination of vintage Filmation art. It was all from Filmation, but not something you'd necessarily find in one single frame of an episode. And it worked really well.
Ten years later, much of that same artwork and those similar pose combinations have been used a number of times on licensing and packaging. Because of that, we didn't want to deviate too much from the poses fans have become familiar with, and also because I still feel those are some of the strongest poses that can be made from existing Filmation components. So instead, we took the opportunity to give those same pose concepts a fresh update for this cover. For that, I turned to Axel. He is so diverse in style, and knows the He-Man and She-Ra brands exceedingly well. Therefore, he was tasked with going back to the original Filmation source material, and then compositing a slightly updated pose that still embraced most of the same elements that everyone agreed on ten years ago as being the strongest."
Axel Gimenez: "Like Val explained, it begins with the assembly of the character in the desired pose, using different screenshots or model sheets from the series. Those are the only two sources you can use do created on-model "mockups", and they are really important because they come from Filmation. The process of composition is like putting together a puzzle. And it's the perfect excuse to watch the cartoons again!"
So when it came to the creation of the pencils, what was the process like? What all was considered and what went into making the characters look just right once you had the composite template to work from?
Axel: "After completion of the mockup, I start with my pencil drawing directly over top of it. But it's not as simple as tracing over the mockup. Because the pose is assembled with parts from different scenes or models, even when we tried to find parts that match their best, it's always necessary to make adjustments so that the final version has a natural pose and improved anatomy, while continuing to stay very close to the models created by the Filmation artists.
Once the pencils were done and we were happy with them, next came inks."
What is that process like? And how is what is done with inks on these different or similar to what is done with inks in animation?
Diana Egea Conesa: "The inking style was done in a way to fit in as much of the old style of animation lineart as I could. I tried not to modulate too much of the line weights, and I avoided sharp edges and over-accentuating the volume. I also added a bolder outline to give the entire piece weight while keeping all the inside lines thinner to allow for subtle details."
After the inks, came the colors. What can you tell us about those?
Val: "It was a great honor to be able to color these. In particular, I was very happy to recolor He-Man, which is a pose similar to one of the character illustrations I colored ten years ago. I remember agonizing over the colors on He-Man for that 10 Best DVD cover. But I was younger, and second guessed myself a lot, and was never truly happy with it. Every time I see it, I'd only see the things I wanted to revise. So I was able to revisit some of my original anatomy rendering that I was never completely satisfied with.
On top of that, I was able to produce these in vector format in Adobe Illustrator, which means these can be scaled to the size of a building and look exactly the same. Back then, I was primarily skilled in the use of Adobe Photoshop. But Photoshop's raster format is not as forgiving and limits how big you can make the art for print.
I was also lucky to have the help of the talented Raunak, who laid in the base colors for me. This enabled me to jump in and start rendering while juggling so many other things in my life like toy packaging, graphic design, and planning for Power-Con: The He-Man and She-Ra fan convention.
It was a great feeling to color these characters all these years later."
And to tie it all together was the backgrounds. How were those made?
Val: "The spine and rear background art are actual backgrounds from the Filmation cartoon that I restored digitally. But He-Man's burst and the energy are all recreated from the cartoon. Jeremy Roberts tackled that. Jeremy is a digital painting whiz. Back in the day, he brought many of my studio's 200x He-Man covers to life with his gorgeous color art. So to be working with Jeremy again was fantastic. He really did the effects justice."
How do you feel about having the chance to recreate artwork based on the Filmation He-Man and She-Ra cartoons?
Axel: "Being a fan of Masters of the Universe and Princess of Power, it's always an honor and a privilege to have the chance to participate in any project related to this fantastic universe. Especially when it comes to recreating or recovering material from the original versions that helped make the franchise known all around the world. In this particular case it was a great responsibility, because, although the Filmation style is simple, you must take care of every detail so that the characters are on model. In some cases, an unnecessary line, or a line in a wrong place, drastically alters the desired result."
Diana: "It was fun and hard at the same time. Inking something that is totally connected to your childhood always makes you feel good. But the difficult part was the hundreds of tiny changes in every pose because we wanted the look to be perfect with the hope that fans would love it."
Val: "I could work on art like this all day long. In a way, I feel like a kid again, seeing my favorite childhood heroes and villains once more. And I hope this special Limited Edition gives fans the same feeling when they hold it in their hands!"

Mattel has once again provided answers to your questions. Thanks again to them for taking the time to answer these!Check out their answers to your Round 161 questions!
This round of questions were selected by Mern-Ra.Thanks to that fan for their help!1. OnlyOneSkeletor: In the Round 1.149 Q&A, Mattel replied to a question about both the Horde Troopers and the Snake Men army builder sets saying that an announcement was coming soon. You've said the single Horde Trooper is coming. But does this mean you also intend to offer a carded Snake Man army-builder figure?We did say the single carded Horde Trooper was coming which is happening. The Snake Man single carded figure is a possibility. Currently there is no concrete plan for that as a figure release. But if there is, then we will make that announcement.2. Mern-Ra: A number of fans don't think the sword that came with Flogg and Club Grayskull He-Man is an accurate representation of the Filmation Sword Of Power. Is there any chance we could get a new sword that is more Filmation accurate released with a future Club Grayskull figure, such as Prince Adam?It's something that we can look into.3. mjw41: Snake Amor He-Man is still missing his shield from the 200x cartoon. Is Mattel planning to release the Snake Armor He-Man shield either with a figure or accessory pack?If there is an accessory pack offering, that may be one that is included.4. Jinxieman: There were subscribers who missed out on the 2015 SDCC Rotar and Twistoid because they were not offered through Early Access. To help avoid this in the future, would you consider an option where subscribers of a line can pre-order or reserve the 2016 SDCC exclusives?Yes, we have considered that option! And we might have some good news this year.5. Knight of Mystacor: Since Snake Mountain was not shown at Toy Fair, could we get a update about its progress?The team is currently working on it. An official update will be shared with fans in the following months.

Alligator Sewing Kit
Source: Babycenter Community
Mom Rating
Ages: Baby - 8+ years
In: Arts & Crafts
Instructions:This is a great craft for Mother's Day!
Felt (green, white, and red)
Pinking shears (optional)
Green yarn
Green pompons
Googly eyes
Green sequins or beads
Time needed: Under 1 Hour
1. Begin by cutting an oval (about 8 by 2 inches) from green felt. From white felt, cut the same shape, but slightly smaller. Then cut one from red felt that's a bit smaller still. Create jagged teeth around the edge of the white felt by trimming it with pinking shears.
2. Center the pieces on top of each other (green, white, then red). Fold the stack in half and press with an iron (a parent's job).
3. Use the yarn and needle to sew two or three large stitches through the center of the stack of felt to bind the three layers. Then tie the ends of the yarn into a double knot (on the outside of the alligator) and trim off any excess.
4. For the alligator's eyes, glue green pompons and googly eyes, and for a snout, glue or sew on the sequins or beads.

Oklahoma State football notebook: Caleb Lavey earns academic honor
Oklahoma State linebacker Caleb Lavey is already a contender for the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year award.
He's excelling in the classroom, too.
Lavey on Thursday earned Capital One second-team Academic All-America honors, selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America.
Lavey has already earned his undergraduate degree in finance and is working toward his MBA. He has been an Academic All-Big 12 selection the past three seasons.
Requirements for Academic All-America consideration include being a starter or key reserve, maintaining a cumulative grade-point average of 3.3 on a 4.0 scale, reaching sophomore athletic and academic standing and being nominated by the school's sports information director.
Lavey leads the Cowboys in tackles (82) and tackles for loss (12) so far this season and has also picked up four interceptions, 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and one pass breakup.
Cowboy defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer was part of a big-time college football rivalry long before coming to OSU, as he played in the annual Georgia-Georgia Tech game as a defensive tackle for the Yellow Jackets in the 1980s.
What can he recall from those games? Beating Georgia in Athens as a junior in 1984, then winning again in Atlanta the next year as a senior.
"Good memories," Spencer said. "Those stick with you."
So while Spencer stressed that nothing changes this week in regards to preparation for Bedlam, he understands those rivalry games provide a little something extra.
"As a player, it feels different," he said. "You always talk about, 'What's your edge?' Trying to keep an edge for the game, trying to keep an edge to practice that week. With rivalry games, it's really (easy), because of the fan bases that come into play and what (players are) hearing, especially now with social media every day through their Twitters and through the media.
"I think it just helps them keep an edge to realize it is another game — it's the most important game because it's the next one — but the fan base makes it a little more exciting, I think."
The OSU defense has held up to its promise to play a more aggressive style of defense in Spencer's first season, leading the Big 12 in scoring defense (18.8 points per game) and rushing defense (130 yards per game) and ranking eighth in the nation in takeaways (29) and tied for fourth in interceptions (19).
Perhaps last year's Bedlam provided the biggest example that a philosophical switch was necessary. Former Sooner quarterback Landry Jones passed for 500 yards in OU's 51-48 overtime win, while the Cowboy defensive backs continuously played soft coverage.
Yet Spencer insists that's not the case.
"Don't want to revisit," Spencer said. "That was a different team. This is a different team, so I really haven't (thought about it)."
Gundy on concerns of the focus of the Cowboys following a big win against Baylor and a bye week over Thanksgiving: "Coaching is like parenting — you worry every day. You give your 16-year-old a set of car keys and hope that he follows the rules and he doesn't text while he's driving and that he'll be safe. In dealing with these young men, it's the same for us as coaches. We have really good team chemistry. We have good leadership. I think they understand what's really important in this game."

diarrhea instead of morning sickness
Comments (8)
Wierd. I always thought that pregnancy caused constipation. I too, however, have had a couple episodes of diarrhea this week. I am only 5 weeks along though. I will have to do some more research on this! Either way, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one!
Tina (28)� Randy (30)� #1 for both of us!!
with both my pregnancy's at 1st I had a bad case of diarrhea. I would much rather have that rather than morning sickness, but the morning sickness soon came after :(
Amber (29) married David 03/2005 had my 1st LO 12/2008. another girl 9/23/2010. Hoping for a boy this time around.
O yeah I remember that jeez... It's normal the baby is disturbing your intestines so it will go away soon feel better and keep preparation H near by...

Baby #3 2012 making quick money from WAHM!!!
Totally normal! I'm 20w and had diarrhea during my first few months. Now I switch between constipation, regular, and diarrhea. Pregnancy effects your bowel movements so much that it's insane. Morning sickness with nausea and vomitting may come later but it's not guaranteed. I had two weeks of vomitting and I was 100% fine after that. Good luck and fiber always helps to keep things regular. lol
I had this problem from about 5w to 10w. It would hit hard with lots of terrible cramping--I lost 5 lbs in one week (6-7lbs altogether), and I didn't have a lot to spare to begin with! I did have nausea, too, but not much vomiting. This has been standard for me, though, pg or not. When I get carsick or food poisoning or whatever, I almost always poop it out rather than throwing up.
I found that some foods made it worse, like chicken--I still can't eat chicken, and have never been able to eat much chicken in any of my pg's. Try experimenting with different foods to see what settles in alright and what doesn't. You may find, though, that as soon as you figure out what works, it changes. Eventually the food aversions set in for me, so I had a little more guidance on what I could and couldn't eat.
I also found that, even though water tasted horrible to me (and I didn't want sugary drinks or anything, either), the more I stayed hydrated, the better I felt overall. Drink a big glass of water as soon as you get out of bed, then drink another glass every hour or two (at least) all day long.
If you have really terrible diarrhea, you can take Imodium to help bulk things up a little. If you lose too much weight or can't keep even water in, call your ob right away, as dehydration can be a real danger to you and baby.
I hope you feel better soon!

You can only sync to one iTunes library on one computer.
You don't get around it.

By design, an iPhone will sync or manually manage iTunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync or manually manage with a second computer will result in all iTunes content being first erased from your phone, to be replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature of all iPhones and cannot be overridden. Been like this since the first iPhone was released.

As the message infers, you can only sync your iDevice to
a single iTunes library. The only way around this, which is
of no real use to you now but for future reference, is to have
your iTunes library (entire iTunes folder) an a separate hard
drive and carry it around where ever you go. Any computer
you have will need to be set up to connect its iTunes to that
The one caveat of this is that is backups of the iDevice.
Each computer will have a different backup file depending on
when you synced to the computers (backups are stored
in ~/Library/Application Support/Mobile Sync/ Backup on
the computer not in iTunes library). Where this is problematic
is if you need to do a restore and you only have a computer
available with an old backup and not the most recent.
The other problem will be if you manage Address Book, Calendars,
etc. different on different computers. Things can get jumbled, lost,
or just plain add duplicates.
As for your current situation, there really isn't much you can do.

Unlike iPad,
the iphone only can be sync to one computer only
eventhough the manually manage has been checked according HT1202
Yes, apple has lied to us. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4040459
Use 3rd party software like Copytrans manager free on others computer for controlling your iphone library. but it need itunes driver.

Underwater Bonsai Brings New Calm to a Thousand Year Old Tradition
Posted By Lori Zimmer On September 14, 2014 @ 11:20 am In Art,Botanical,carousel showcase,Design,News | No Comments
Botanical artist Makoto Azuma's latest piece transposes the traditional art of Japanese bonsai into an underwater environment. Made from dead wood, natural moss and LED lights, the "tree" comes to life in the unusual terrarium. The underwater plant is the latest of Azuma's alternative bonsai, which include one made from LEGOs and a tree appears suspended in an empty glass cube.
Inspired by the historic tradition of bonsais in Japanese culture, Azuma is constantly on the quest to explore new ways of viewing the customary plant [2]. Submerging the bonsai figure in water gives it a new kind of serenity. With the gentle flow of the water, the greenery takes on an ethereal feel as it slowly waves back and forth with the bubbling current within the aquarium.
Azuma used a coiled piece of dead wood for the bonsai's trunk and coated its ends with java moss to appear as if bright green leaves were sprouting from the wood. In order to nourish the live moss, LED lights were installed along with CO2, which together helped support photosynthesis. The same filtration system that causes the moss to hypnotically wave also keeps the tank clean of bacteria, allowing the moss to thrive.
Like Azuma's suspended bonsai [3], the submerged tree seems to float in space, shirking the need of a root system. With the underwater flow, the bonsai brings a new calm to the thousand year old tradition.

That's right! Happy halloween everyone! Now this period of the year is the best time for a horror developer (at least for us). This is why we're trying to make this event a bit special, with a couple of announcements.
First of all, it's the 4th year anniversary of the Afraid of Monsters: Director's Cut release. We're very proud of the mod, and we recommend you all to try it out during Halloween, and also while you're waiting on Cry of Fear. A trailer of Afraid of Monsters: DC is displayed below. Please visit the mod here: Moddb.com
The Cry of Fear progress is going awesome, and we've made so much the last month. Last week, I made another update that was 647 mb big and contained 814 files and 112 folders, and that update only took 2 weeks. This shows how great the progress is going!
Another cool thing is that the Single Player campaign is almost entirely finished. All the endings and all the unlockables are all finished. And now we're talking about 30 unique unlockables such as clothes, weapons, game modes (like Hunk in Resident Evil), developer commentaries, items and etc. This demonstrates how far we've come with modding since Afraid of Monsters: Director's Cut, which only had 1 unlockable (which we thought was damn awesome).
The coming months we will try and focus on the new game mode that I mentioned, and also co-op. And of course fixing bugs. This will hopefully go pretty quick, as co-op is almost finished as well.
We've also come up with the idea to have the community unlock certain things by liking our Facebook page. This was a great success when you, the awesome community, unlocked the Gameplay video. The result of it was that we started seeing new faces appear, which is the whole point of making a game - to entertain people. Therefor, we have made this little list here where you can unlock screenshots, videos and also the official Cry of Fear release date. Simply all you have to do is enter our Facebook page and like it. We want you to spread Cry of Fear around, so we can hopefully give the whole world an evil heart attack by scaring them to death with this mod.
Everytime you unlock something, we will post a news about the thing you people have unlocked. To like our Facebook page, go to the link, or click the image below. Good luck!
We're still stuck working with Cry of Fear, and will be a few months more, because progress is going a bit slow now. This is mostly because we're a small...
2 days of shooting, 8 days of editing, covering 4 years of work - The making of Afraid of Monsters is finally here!
Now here's the last two episodes of this developer commentary play through. In case you've missed the other news, those videos are simply a playthrough...
Special update! This news contains part 7 and 8, and I will continue to upload the rest of the videos every week. In case you've missed the other news...

Afraid Of Monsters DC Russian Pistol Pack

i know this is kind of a old game and a odd request but would there be any way of porting this to dreamcast? kind of like how they did with they hunger and paranoria.
Maybe you could find someone else to port the game but its VERY unlikely that Team Psykskallar will port it themselves.
Not scary for you perhaps, consider how it might be scary for other people, yeah?
It's also just considered a classic amongst fps horror mods. A pioneer for its day.
The best horror mod I've played yet!
Here's my gameplay of it:
Rumpel i need some help i just got done downloading the mod and i have half life but for some reason the game wont start please help
Hey guys, if anyone is interested I'm doing a full playthrough of the mod. If your interested check out the playlist I linked below and enjoy! I upload every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday so if you want to keep track check back on one of those days! Also I chose not to be endorsed by youtube to keep the old-fashioned mom and pops thing goin so if you can give me some support! :)
Playlist - Youtube.com
Hey is anyone else having the same problem? Im currently running Windows 8.1 and I have played AOM before on windows 7 but now when i try to run the installer it doesnt even bother appearing. It shows its running in task manager but nothings happening. I tried running in compatibility mode but that didnt work either. If someone can help or give me a fix, id appreciate it :)
Happens to me as well.
Having the exact same issue on W7 here. I've tried just about everything I could think of, and it always ends up doing the same amount of ****.
No idea what I did, but the same installer that refused to work the last ten times suddenly decided to work this time.
I mean, it doesn't solve the mystery of why the hell it didn't work in the first place, but at least the installer isn't completely broken.
Aha nice :D thats odd, maybe i should spam the **** out of the installer and hope it works :)
holy **** it worked :D
Highest Rated (15 agree) 10/10
An amazing atmosphere, sounds and great enemies. It gives you the perfect feeling that your all alone, but your not at the same time.
Dec 21 2010 by Prowler445
Lowest Rated (7 agree) 4/10
The mod started off in a hospital of all places which surprised me and when you enter the dream it really starts off surreal and creepy. The abstract part where you have to walk towards floating red lights was strange but even though the premise sounds boring, if you stray to far from the straight line you're suppose to walk on you, you hear creepy whispers and flashes of twitching zombies, to far and you get killed. Awesome. When you finally get back to the hospital it has a really good Silent…

Viruses directly exchange genetic material with other living organisms. They interact on a very basic level with life itself in the most vital area of life, the DNA of life.<quoted text>
From: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm...
"...viruses directly exchange genetic information with living organismsthat is, within the web of life itself. A possible surprise to most physicians, and perhaps to most evolutionary biologists as well, is that most known viruses are persistent and innocuous, not pathogenic. They take up residence in cells, where they may remain dormant for long periods or take advantage of the cells replication apparatus to reproduce at a slow and steady rate. These viruses have developed many clever ways to avoid detection by the host immune system essentially every step in the immune process can be altered or controlled by various genes found in one virus or another...."

Todd English's Mexican Restaurant Opens Today
Todd English is back. The celebrity chef, who once operated Olives in the District, is partnering with local restaurateur Aziz Safi of Panache to open a mod-Mex spot at 14th and F streets NW called MXDC tonight.
Why a Mexican restaurant?
"I've always been a huge Mexican food fan," says English, who tells Y&H he's been planning a spot like this for the past 10 years. "It's one of the great cuisines of the world… the depths of it and the variety of it and the regionally of it and all the things it has to offer. It's peasant but it's elegant."
Overseeing the kitchen is Tijuana native JC Pavlovich, who previously worked forBobby Flay and English. The menu includes eight varieties of tacos, including grilled octopus with cilantro pesto, pickled red onion, and avocado; duck confit with red chile peanut pesto and avocado; and wild mushroom with huitlachoche and truffled corn salsa. There are also sopas, quesadillas, bocaditos, five types of ceviches, and four different guacamoles, including one with blue cheese and bacon (like a cobb salad) and another with crab and grapefruit.
Another main attraction: the family-style plates like seven-chile lamb shank and a whole roasted fish. English says the large sharing plates are inspired by a trip to Playa del Carmen, where he stumbled across a hut cafe on the beach that served whole butterflied fish with lots of fresh tortillas and eight different salsas. "We were there in flip flops, bathing suits, and we were barefoot in the sand, and a bottle of tequila goes on the table," he says. "We're drinking shots of tequila, drinking beer, and eating this fish with all these salsas. It was just one of those beautiful moments, like, 'This is heaven.'" That's the feeling he was trying to create, minus the sand—"although I wanted to bring the sand in here," he says.
Local mixologist JP Caceres, who most recently worked on the cocktails at Del Campo, assembled the drink list. The menu features mezcals and about 100 tequilas, and yes, there will be bottled cocktails. The two bottled concoctions include the "Coctel de Paloma" with Cabeza Blanco, lime, grapefruit, hibiscus and basil syrup, and a pinch of salt. There's also the "Tequila Mule" with lime juice, ginger juice, lemongrass-infused tequila, and house made ginger beer. Cocktail prices will range from $12 to $14.
There are also several non-alcoholic libations: half-liter bottles of Coca Cola, orange Fanta, and Sprite imported from Mexico. Caceres will also make hibiscus, horchata, and tamarind juices.
The space has also been rearranged since its days as Roberto Donna's Galileo III. The bar has been relocated to the other side of the room and the staircase leading up to a mezzanine dining area rearranged. As is trendy these days, the space is heavy on brick, wood, and Edison light bulbs. "It's elegantly rustic," English says.

I am trying to do a simple read of an Avro file stored in HDFS. I found out how to read it when it is on the local file system....
FileReader reader = DataFileReader.openReader(new File(filename), new GenericDatumReader());
for (GenericRecord datum : fileReader) {
String value = datum.get(1).toString();
System.out.println("value = " value);
My file is in HDFS, however. I cannot give the openReader a Path or an FSDataInputStream. How can I simply read an Avro file in HDFS?
EDIT: I got this to work by creating a custom class (SeekableHadoopInput) that implements SeekableInput. I "stole" this from "Ganglion" on github. Still, seems like there would be a Hadoop/Avro integration path for this.

Realtor.com Partners With Habitat For Humanity To Revitalize A Neighborhood In Need
CAMPBELL, Calif., Oct. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Supporting many Americans' dreams of home ownership, Realtor.com, a leader in online real estate, today announced the launch of the Building Hope Challenge and is donating $50,000 to benefit BUiLD by Habitat for Humanity. The BUiLD movement aims to create a world where everyone has a decent place to live and advances Habitat for Humanity's mission of bringing people together to build homes, communities and hope. Realtor.com is a strong advocate of Habitat's mission and is dedicated to making a difference in a deserving community. While some people get involved in Habitat for Humanity by working on home-building sites, through BUiLD, volunteers can also participate via social media, purchase a BUiLD product, participate in a corporate-sponsored initiative, or spread the word to friends. During the Realtor.com Building Hope Challenge, participants will be able to nominate a state to receive a portion of the donation and, in doing so, be eligible for weekly prize drawings.The Challenge promotion is easy to enter. Participants visit: www.realtor.com/challenge, enter their e-mail address and select their state of choice. Participants can nominate a state once per day, and can share the promotion with friends via e-mail, Facebook and other social media. "We believe real estate is at the heart of a local community and the Building Hope Challenge will help revitalize a neighborhood in need of investment," said Steve Berkowitz, chief executive officer of Realtor.com operator Move, Inc. "Realtor.com is an advocate for the great work Habitat for Humanity has done over the years in providing housing for many families worldwide and providing support on a community level." The state with the most nominations per capita at the end of the Challenge will win, and a rehabilitation project of a local Habitat for Humanity affiliate in that state will be chosen to receive the designated portion of the Realtor.com donation. Participants may also donate directly to Habitat for Humanity.

Today at Computex, NZXT introduced its latest fan controller, the Grid+, and a pair of new Kraken liquid-cooling systems. All three products integrate with the company's CAM system management software.
The GRID+ fan controller has headers for up to six fans, with 30 watts of total power available. Fan control is managed through the aforementioned CAM software over a USB connection. With dimensions of 2" x 2" x 0.7", the controller should fit into most cases easily. NZXT doesn't appear to provide any mounting hardware, though, so you might have to improvise with Velcro or double-sided tape to secure it.
The X41 and X61 coolers use 140-mm and 280-mm radiators, respectively, and NZXT claims they're the first of their kind to use variable-speed pump technology. Being able to alter both pump and fan speeds should allow for fine-grained tuning of cooling performance and noise. Curiously, the Krakens aren't fully integrated into the CAM software—while CAM will provide data logging, the company claims that you'll still need to install a separate Kraken utility to manage fan and pump speeds.
Introduced last month, the CAM utility provides control over compatible NZXT hardware from Windows. It also logs fan speeds, CPU and GPU temperatures, network activity, and hard-disk I/O. The company claims CAM can use this data to generate proactive notifications before a serious problem arises, such as a hard-drive failure. CAM also provides cloud integration, allowing you to monitor and adjust compatible hardware remotely using a browser or your mobile phone.
NZXT is offering the GRID+, Kraken X41, and X61 for pre-order today from its online store. Prices are $29.99 for the GRID+, $109.99 for the Kraken X41, and $139.99 for the Kraken X61.

Can a Silver Spoon Keep Champagne Bubbly? I Decided to Find Out.
The task has been undertaken before, but I wanted to find out for myself: Will a silver spoon in an open bottle of bubbly keep it bubbly?
Drawing on my memory of middle school science projects, I designed the perfect experiment, then invited several participants (a.k.a. people I wanted to hang out and drink wine with). This was a lot more fun than my projects in seventh grade, and I didn't even have to make a poster to share our findings! Several bottles (and spoons) later, here's what we discovered about this old trick. It may shock you.
Vegan Recipe Ideas for a St. Patrick's Day Party?
Good Questions
Q: My boyfriend and I enjoy entertaining and we're sensitive that some of our friends have dietary restrictions, so we always try to provide food options for everyone. We'll be hosting a St Patrick's Day party next month, and I'm stumped on vegan food options!
Russian Food Ideas for a Winter Olympics Party?
Good Questions
Q: The Kitchn readers were so helpful in providing suggestions for our Olympics party two years ago and I'm reaching out again about my opening ceremonies party, this time for the Winter Olympics in Sochi. We need help with Russian food ideas! We can't afford caviar and our friends won't touch a pot of borscht.
A Winter Glam Cocktail Party: The Party Plan and Menu
Gatherings from The Kitchn
When the weather outside is frightful, you throw a cocktail party. (I'm pretty sure those are the original lyrics to that song.) Last January when the other editors and I planned The Kitchn's Gatherings for the year, it fell to me to host our very last party of 2013 — a winter cocktail soirée with bubbly drinks and appetizers.
So with a Pinterest board full of glitzy party decor ideas and a menu of bite-sized indulgences, my husband and I set out to create a sparkly, slightly retro, cozy-glam evening for our friends, all of whom work very hard and deserve a night to dress up, get out, and get down with a good drink and a lamb meatball slider. Today I'll share the party plan and the full menu, which may or may not include chocolate cake bites, bacon-wrapped dates, and perhaps the greatest cranberry-ginger-rosemary punch ever. (Ok fine! Those are all included! I have a terrible poker face.)

The Kitchn's Best of 2013
Some of our favorite features in 2013 were our Gatherings from The Kitchn — a series of parties and dinners thrown in our own homes, with our friends and families. Here's a look back at all 10 of our Gatherings from The Kitchn in 2013. More to come in 2014!
A Cozy Holiday Potluck with Friends
Gatherings from The Kitchn
So far this week, I've talked about the plan for my holiday potluck, shared the recipe for the incredible slow-cooked bigos stew that I made as my own dish, and showed you how to set a beautiful, easy holiday table with evergreens. Now it's time talk about the party itself! Here's how it all came together, from the mulled wine that we sipped as dishes were warmed to the dinner itself and the walnut cake we had for dessert. The whole evening came together with sparkle and light and ample amounts of good cheer.
3 Tips for Setting an Easy Holiday Table with Evergreens
Tips from The Kitchn
There's enough going on with the holidays — let's make setting the table the easy part, shall we? When my friend Tracy and I were planning our Cozy Holiday Potluck, we agreed that we wanted to keep the table simple, rustic, and festive. The easiest way to do this, we quickly realized, was obvious: bring in the evergreens! Here's what we did — it's so easy I have no doubt you can do it too.
A Cozy Holiday Potluck with Friends: How to Plan a Great Potluck Dinner
Gatherings from The Kitchn
Maybe it's because I'm a Midwestern girl at heart, but I love a good holiday potluck. It feels so much more festive and cozy to me than an elaborate dinner party this time of year. Also, much easier to plan and carry out! With everyone bringing their own special dish to the table, the meal comes together without stress and feels relaxed in a way that encourages a second bottle of wine.
This year my friend Tracy and I invited our friends to her house for what will hopefully become an annual potluck affair. We decked her dining table with evergreens, frosted gingerbread cookies to eat by the fire, and waited impatiently for our friends to show up with dishes in hand. This week, I'll be talking all about our potluck party and how you can throw one of your own. First up: the party plan!
5 Non-Kitschy Turkeys for Decorating the Thanksgiving Table
Turkey decorations at Thanksgiving dinner can get pretty kitschy pretty darn fast. For me, it's simply a part of the tradition: I pore over tasteful, turkey-less decor and then attend my extended family's own dinner where guests bump heads with crepe paper turkeys hanging from the ceiling. But can't there be something in between? Can't we welcome the turkey to the decor without going overboard?
Fall Party Idea: Host a Cider Tasting!
I've started home brewing my own hard cider this fall thanks to Emma's book True Brews. Alongside my DIY efforts I've been doing lots of research (the best kind!), tasting every cider I can find and inviting friends over to join the fun. Have you ever hosted a cider tasting? It can be as casual or rigorous as you like, and is such a great way to celebrate friends and fall.
Here's how my partner and I threw a cider tasting with friends.
