Google doodles Winsor McCay's Little Nemo in Slumberland
New Delhi: Google has recreated the adventures of Little Nemo in Slumberland for the 107th anniversary of Winsor McCay's comic strip's first publication.
Regarded as a comic-strip art masterpiece, the weekly strip first appeared on October 15, 1905 in the New York Herald as Little Nemo in Slumberland and later in New York American as In the Land of Wonderful Dreams.
The interactive and animated Google doodle celebrating the nightly dreams of the little boy called Nemo begins with Nemo dreaming about falling from his bed into a hole and being rescued by Princess Camille. After a series of little adventures, through Google-land (the interactive doodle strip is titled Little Nemo in Google Land) Nemo, as in the actual comic strip, falls out of his bed.
In the different panels of the Winsor McCay Little Nemo Google doodle the letters of the Google logo - G-O-O-G-L-E - appear in a chronological order.
Winsor McCay was not only a newspaper cartoonist, but also a pioneer of animated films. He started off as a poster and hoardings artist and later moved to newspaper cartooning.

Nama aslinya Ayunda Faza Maudy, lahir di Jakarta 19 Desember 1994.
Hobi membaca dan akhirnya menulis sebuah buku yang diterbitkan oleh Jakarta Books, berjudul " A Forest of Fables" (2005). Berenang, melukis, menulis, bermain piano, menari merupakan beberapa kegiatan favoritnya. Selain fasih berbahasa Inggris, Maudy juga menguasai bahasa Mandarin dan Spanyol.
Maudy termasuk siswi beprestasi di sekolahnya, British International School. Beberapa penghargaan di bidang akademis pernah diraihnya, dan pernah dapet juara dua di speech competition. What a smart girl, ya!
Debutnya dalam dunia hiburan tanah air diawali lewat film "Untuk Rena" yang dibintanginya bersama Surya Saputra pada tahun 2006. Dalam film tersebut, Maudy berperan sebagai Rena.
Dalam film Sang Pemimpi, ia berperan sebagai gadis melayu bernama Zakiah Nurmala. dia juga bermain di "Rumah Tanpa Jendela" dan terakhir bermain bersama irfan bacdhim dan kim kurniawan dalam film Tendangan dari langit
UNTUK RENA
dan beberapa bulan yang lalu Maudy Ayunda ngeluarin album solo, ALBUM lho bukan artis yg ajimumpung sekedar SINGLE satu lagu trus tenggelam giliran nyanyi bisanya lipsinc.
Panggil Aku : Maudy Ayunda memiliki konsep young and fresh.
"Album ini akan tampil dengan konsep remaja dengan touch of pop. Dan album ini didominasi degan lagi cinta. Yah, karena tema ini yang tepat dengan usiaku saat ini, " ujar Maudy Ayunda saat ditemui di gala premiere Tendangan Dari Langit di Gandaria City beberapa waktu lalu.
Dalam rilis medianya, Maudy mengatakan bahwa nama album perdana yang bertajuk "Panggil Aku" diikuti dengan nama " Maudy Ayunda" adalah pilihannya.
"Judul ini dipilih karena kebetulan ada lagu berjudul Panggil Aku di album ini. Aku pikir lucu juga untuk jadi judul album, " ujar Maudy sambil tertawa.
Album ini terdiri dari 10 lagu dan dikerjakan hampir setahun. Proses tersebut mencakup dari proses pengumpulan lagu, pemilihan musisi, proses aransemen, sampai akhirnya proses rekaman dan memilih single yang cocok untuk menjadi single perdana album ini.
Single pertama dari album ini adalah Tiba-Tiba Cinta Datang. Lagu ini dipilih karena dirasakan sebagai nomor perkenalan yang pas bagi Maudy, secara personalitas dan juga karakter suara. Lagu ini juga mendapat tempo upbeat dan catchy.
Selain itu juga ada karya musisi Pasha Ungu, yang berjudul Panggil Aku Sayang.
"Aku pernah jadi model video klip lagu Cinta Gila, yang jadi soundtrack Sang Pemimpi. Jadi kami lumayan udah kenal. Kebetulan kita juga satu label, dan Pasha juga ngasih lagu yang cocok buat aku, " jelas Maudy tentang keterlibatan Pasha dalam lagu yang bercerita tentang keinginan seseorang untuk disayang dan dicintai ini.
Ada juga nomor lain seperti, Aku Atau Temanmu, I Love You tapi Bohong, Kusimpan Dalam Mimpi, Aku Percaya, Ajari Aku Cinta dan First Love.
Maudy yang mengaku mengidolakan Agnes Monica, Tompi, Nidji, Taylor Swift dan Bruno Mars ini, mengatakan bahwa First Love adalah lagu yang paling menantang.
"Jujur ini adalah lagu yang paling menantang karena merupakan lagu remake. Banyak orang yang suka lagu ini dan membuat aku sedikit merasa terbebani, " jelas Maudy.
Saat ini Maudy sedang dalam tahap promo album dan merencanakan mengadakan show. Maudy mengatakan bahwa konsep show-nya akan disesuaikan dengan konsep album yang young and fresh, sehingga Maudy ingin tampil dalam konsep akustik, dengan gitar dan piano.

More Than This
Cant say anything, I'm speechless, this song so touching!
Lyrics :
I'm broken
Do you hear me
I'm blinded
Cause you are everything I see
I'm dancing, alone
I'm praying
That your heart will just turn around
And as I walk up to your door
My eye turns to face the floor
Cause I can't look you in the eyes and say
When he open his arms
And holds you close tonight
It just won't feel right
Cause I can love you more than this, yeah
When he lays you down, I might just die inside
It just don't feel right
Cause I can love you more than this
Can love you more than this
If I'm louder
Would you see me?
Would you lay down in my arms and rescue me?
Cause we are, the same
You saved me, but when you leave it's gone again
And then I see you on the street
In his arms, I get weak
My body feels I'm on my knees
Praying
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/o/one_direction/more_than_this.html ]
When he open his arms
And holds you close tonight
It just won't feel right
Cause I can love you more than this, yeah
When he lays you down, I might just die inside
It just don't feel right
Cause I can love you more than this
Yeah
I've never had the words to say
But now I'm asking you to stay
For a little while inside my arms
And as you close your eyes tonight
I pray that you will see the light
That's shining from the stars above
When he open his arms
And holds you close tonight
It just won't feel right
Cause I can't love you more than this
Cause I can't love you more than this
When he lays you down, I might just die inside
It just don't feel right
Cause I can't love you more than this, yeah
When he open his arms
And holds you close tonight
It just won't feel right
Cause I can't love you more than this
When he lays you down, I might just die inside
It just don't feel right
Cause I can't love you more than this
Can love you more than this

HARRY POTTER COCKTAILS.
One of your bartender's favorite books is Gone with the Wind. (I know, this post is about Harry Potter, not Scarlett O'Hara...but bear with me here.) The first cocktail book I ever owned is something called the Cocktail Bible, which is actually pretty terrible, as cocktail books go. (Creme de menthe in a long island iced tea...whaaat?) But on page 98, I found something that piqued my interest - signature cocktails for all the major characters in Gone with the Wind. (The Scarlett O'Hara - cranberry juice, SoCo, and a bit of lime - is pretty delicious.*) I loved it. It was the ultimate exercise in higher-level thinking...turn a fictional character into a cocktail. I could do this, right? I could totally do this.*Disclaimer: I have not tried any of the others. Although maybe tonight is the night for a Rhett Butler??
Your bartender also loves Harry Potter - and the first installment of the last movie of the Harry Potter series came out this Friday, so what better excuse to cook up some delicious, creative, and original cocktails? I know that none of the Harry Potter kids are actually old enough to drink...but once they turned 18 (or 21 here in the US), here's what they would be quaffing.
The Hermione Granger
Here's what I was thinking when I started thinking about what would go into the Hermione cocktail...Hermione is a strong woman. She's smart, and she's very good at what she does (magic, being a giant deus ex machina), but that doesn't make her any less feminine. The casting agents could hardly have known that Emma Watson would grow from a bushy-haired know-it-all into the beautiful young woman she is today, but it's only appropriate: seventh-year Hermione Granger is both beautiful and intimidatingly smart. (In the words of Janis Ian: "Suck on that.") The Hermione cocktail is based on a lot of flavors (sloe gin, pomegranate, grapefruit) that are strong and manage to achieve that perfect sweet-tart balance. Together with champagne (fizzy, delicious, feminine without being weak) they combine to form a lovely cocktail.
Hermione Granger1.5 oz sloe gin (Get the Plymoth. Usually I'm not a big pusher of top-shelf liquors, but trust me: you need the Plymoth. use the cheap sloe gin and this cocktail will taste like medicine.)
1 oz gin
.75 oz Pama pomegranate liqueur
.5 oz red grapefruit juice (Rio star!)
1.5 oz brut champagne

.75 oz Pama pomegranate liqueur
.5 oz red grapefruit juice (Rio star!)
1.5 oz brut champagne
Combine the ingredients in a pint glass full of ice. Stir lovingly for 30 seconds (or more), and then strain into a cocktail glass.
The Ron Weasley
Ahh, Ron Weasley. A little bit Samwise Gamgee, a little bit everyman. The Ron Weasley started out with the pairing of whiskey (so manly!) and Campari (a bitter, very red Italian liquer). Because Ron is manly, a little bit rough - and a little bit bitter. (I would be, too, if my best friend were the second coming.) The pairing of whiskey and Campari presented me with more than a little bit of trouble, and a lot of drunken, frustrated weekday nights sampling versions of a Ron Weasley that turned out to be absolutley disgusting. I wanted to make my Ron Weasley with Jack Daniels, which is very headstrong young man, but it didn't start to gel until I switched to rye whiskey, which a bit more old-school. But hey - in addition to trying to stay true to the characters, I am also trying to make drinks that taste good. The Ron Weasley owes a little bit to the Old Pal, appropriately, and also a bit to the Blood and Sand - in its essence, it is manly, strong, a bit sweet, and a little bitter.
Ron Weasley
1.5 oz rye whiskey
.75 oz cherry brandy (I used cherry heering.)
.5 oz campari
.5 oz sweet vermouth
1.0 oz fresh-squeezed orange juice
Directions: same as the Hermione. Make sure you give the ice plenty of time to melt. This one is potent.

The Harry Potter
I will admit that I was completely without direction on the Harry Potter. Harry Potter's friends start off as carricatures and slowly morph into real people, which makes their transition into alcoholic drinks easier, but Harry Potter himself is a bit harder to pin down. It was Rachel who gave me the idea to start Harry off with chocolate - a very familiar, very everyman, very boy-next-door taste. Combine that with butterscotch and you have a sweet, warming cocktail. Add a teeny bit of absinthe and you have something sweet and familiar - with just a hint of something sinister. SPOILERS.
Harry Potter1 oz vodka
1 oz dark creme de cacoa
1 oz butterscotch schnapps
1/2 oz heavy cream
1/2 tsp absenthe
Directions: See Hermione.
And the Verdict: I had a Harry Potter Cocktail Party, because how could I not? All the Harry Potter cocktails were a big hit. (I was a bit worried I just liked them because I'm a huge lush.) Hermione: sweet, a bit tart to balance it all out, a good starter for the other drinks. Ron: Very strong. Dudes liked this cocktail, while my girl friends tended to (not surprisingly, I suppose) prefer the Hermione. Some guys even went so far as to say that I gave Ron too much credit, and the drink was manlier than Ron himself. Ouch. The Harry Potter got good reviews: some people compared it to a white russian, or a buttery nipple; I think the taste is a bit more complicated than that. Sweet, but not too sweet. The little bit of absenthe makes you think. Like any good cocktail. Like any good book.
Now, dear reader, I think I will settle down with the Deathly Hallows a and stiff drink. (And these are all stiff drinks. Don't say I didn't warn you. :) Perhaps you should do the same.Friday, October 5, 2012
Even More Harry Potter Cocktails.
It's that time again, y'all. Time for EVEN MORE Harry Potter cocktails. If you're looking for the big 3 (that would be Harry, Ron, and Hermione), get yourself over to this post and check out the cocktails I made for them. This time around, I selected four more of our favorite fictional persons to be immortalized in liquid form.
The Luna Lovegood
Luna Lovegood: a little strange, a little spacey, and infinitely lovable. Unaged corn whiskey (also known as moonshine) seemed like the perfect expression of Luna's particular brand of home-grown wackiness. It was only after I made the drink that Garret pointed out to me that Luna means moon, which makes it even more perfect.
Luna Lovegood
8 mint leaves
1.5 oz unaged corn whiskey (I used Georgia Moon)
1 oz fresh-squeezed lemon juice
.75 oz simple syrup
Place the mint and simple syrup in your shaker and muddle. Add the lemon juice and moonshine, fill the shaker with ice, and shake and strain into an ice-filled glass.
The Draco Malfoy
I don't know about you, but when I think of a Draco-esque cocktail, I immediately think of a martini. But it couldn't be just a martini: that's boring. One night, while mixing up a test batch of Lunas for the roommate, I had a brilliant idea: pickle juice. I had a jar of pickle juice tucked away in the back of the fridge, hoping that someday at some party I could convince some of my braver friends to do pickleback shots (shot of bacon-infused bourbon, followed by a shot of pickle juice and a chaser of beer. really). Into the mix the pickle juice went, and out came a cocktail that was just like Draco: smooth, sleek, and a little bit nasty.
Draco Malfoy
2 oz gin (or vodka, if you prefer)
1/2 oz dry vermouth
1/2 oz pickle juice (I used the juice of a jar of Claussen Kosher Dill sandwich slices, which are, in my opinion, the very best pickles.)
Stir (or shake) all ingredients together with ice. Strain into a chilled martini glass. Drink deeply. Think evil thoughts. (Lauren, the roommate, came up with a brilliant idea: rimming the martini glass with salt will really bring out the savory flavors in this drink.)
The Neville Longbottom
Tea-infused gin and Pimm's: a little fussy, quintessentially British, and unexpectedly strong.
Tea-Infused Gin
In an airtight jar, combine 1.5 cups of gin and 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon of loose English Breakfast tea leaves. Seal the jar, shake once, and allow to sit at room temperature for two hours. After two hours, open the jar and strain out the gin.
Neville Longbottom
1.5 oz tea-infused gin
1 oz Pimm's
.75 oz fresh-squeezed lemon juice
.75 oz simple syrup
Combine all ingredients in a shaker. Shake and strain into an ice-filled glass.
The Severus Snape
Oh, Snape. Snape is by far my favorite character in the Harry Potter series, played to perfection by Alan Rickman, who is by far my favorite actor. Think about it: in the first book, Snape seems like some generic, greasy, throw-away villain, but then you learn that he's actually this hugely important character upon whom the whole series turns. Remember when you were anxiously awaiting the release of the seventh book, because you had to know whether Snape was good or bad? Well, if you haven't read the books and are waiting for the movie, I won't ruin things for you, but SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER I always knew that Alan Rickman would never betray me like that. And the delicious candy center at the middle of all Snape's turncoatery and snarkery turns out to be...unrequited love, which is one of the most romantic things ever. Snape is J.K.'s true masterpiece.
I held off on making a making a Snape cocktail last time, because how could I ever do him justice? And how could I ever make a cocktail that was an accurate reflection of Snape's personality and actually tasted good? Enter...Fernet Branca. Fernet Branca is a highly bitter, very complicated herbal Italian liqueur, and the very first time I tasted it I knew it was exactly what I need for my Snape. Add to that Blackstrap rum (a very deep, dark, molasses-y dark rum), falernum, and a dash of lavender bitters. Why the lavender? I wanted something floral to remind us of someone else with a floral name who Snape never forgot.
Severus Snape
1.5 oz Cruzan Blackstrap Rum
.5 oz falernum (I used Fee's)
.5 oz Fernet Branca
dash of lavender bitters (I used the Bar Keep Lavender Spice variety.)
Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass over ice. Stir for thirty seconds, allow to sit for thirty seconds (I'm warning you - this one is strong), and strain into a cocktail glass.
I'm sad to think that the release of the last movie might be the end of all the Harry Potter madness. It's been a wild ride, and I hate to see it coming to an end. Whatever will we do? Well, I don't know. But have a drink.
