![]() This Tsukiji Highball, named after the historic Tokyo fish market, was only served once at Katana Kitten for a private event, and the divisive drink proved to be a love-it-or-hate-it affair. ![]() “At first, the Melon-Lime Soda is a punch in the face that delivers the most vivid flavor, but as the ice melts, the undertones of lime flavor are introduced by the end you’ve experienced all of the intended balance of the flavors.”Ī simple Scotch & Soda served as the inspiration for a savory highball whose seemingly austere profile packs an umami punch. “At Katana Kitten, we drive home that the first sip should always hit you and leave an impression,” says Urushido. Lime peels come into play in the housemade matcha-lime cordial, which counterbalances the sugar and amps up the bright aroma of the drink. The inherent sweetness of the drink is cut with fresh lime juice and tart Japanese sudachi (another citrus fruit). The drink’s split base of a full ounce each of Absolut Lime and Midori-two ingredients you don’t usually find in a craft cocktail bar-might cause a stir with some bartenders, but Urushido is undeterred. “Vodka, shitty ice, soda water from the gun, and a lime wedge.” But Urushido’s reinterpretation took a turn in a new direction with the addition of a certain disco-era Japanese melon liqueur. “Vodka Lime Soda, over and over,” he recalls, drawing on muscle memory to mimic making the drink with his eyes closed. The idea for the drink originated at one of the first bars Urushido worked at in New York: Kingswood, the now-closed high-volume bar in Greenwich Village where he fielded countless requests for vodka sodas. The neon green Melon-Lime Soda, a mashup of the vodka soda with lime and the Midori Sour, stands alongside the house Toki Highball and the fragrant Shiso Gin & Tonic as a top-selling highball at Katana Kitten. That extends to Katana’s inventive approach to highballs. The name-a mashup of the austere beauty and tradition of a samurai sword and the playful nature of an adorably curious little cat-is the perfect encapsulation of the bar, where a team of skilled bartenders comes together for a nightly house party set among Japanese movie posters and a soundtrack of ’80s hits. Urushido, known by most simply as “Masa,” is a managing partner, head bartender and “director of deliciousness” at the award-winning Japanese American bar Katana Kitten in New York’s West Village. “But what are you complaining about? It tastes like a highball.” It depends what you expect and what you pay for it,” says Urushido. “I don’t think it’s possible to have a bad highball in Japan. In Japan, the highball is a working-class drink that, while democratic in its appeal, usually displays care and consideration-even lifelong dedication-in its construction. He pictures a long, tall, cold glass filled with stacked ice, whisky and highly carbonated soda water. When Masahiro Urushido considers a highball, the first thing that matters is how it looks.

![]() and Loading., but again, its strong matchups against Top Tier decks give it just enough of a niche to earn a spot at Tier 3 this week. The deck still faces some consistency issues and their boss monster is very weak to common disruption cards such as Loading. Against Gaia, the deck has even more solid qualities as not only can the Buster Blader fusion stop pretty much every monster effect from Gaia, but the main boss monster of Gaia is vulnerable to itself being used as material for the Buster Blader boss monster. is a searchable Quick-Effect GY Banish, able to banish Magnet materials from the grave early and make it difficult to establish Loading. is a powerful boss monster against both of these decks, as its piercing damage lets you deal with Magnets’ floating shenanigans and Loading. Buster Blader benefits greatly from Magnets and Gaia being arguably the two strongest decks in the current meta. So why is the deck only seeing success now if its support was released over a month ago? The answer to that question lies in its matchups. Having gained new support all the way back in Chaotic Soldiers, the deck has seen great success in the past week. This week the dragon slaying deck finds itself on the Tier List at Tier 3. Again, the Meta’s weakness is certainly in part to blame for their success, but every deck should be prepared for the magnets matchup. Between their swarming, powerful Xyz toolbox, big boss monster, and lack of straight up losing matchups, magnets have jut the right combination of tools at their disposal to eek out their place at the top of the food chain. The reason? Well, put simply, its that Magnets are the best deck in a rather tame meta. So fun aside, and as happy as I am to see one of my favorite decks at Tier 1 after so long, I just wanted to speak on why they became the sole Tier 1 and why they remain at Tier 1 this week. MAGNETS BESDECKLESGOO- *unintelligible Magnet noises*! ![]() 'Crimson Kingdom' also contains the original Buster Blader, which despite being rather out-dated by modern standards on its own is still needed in the deck in order for it to function. So last week I wasn't able to speak on Magnets becoming tier 1, which feels almost like a crime for the TPC’s resident rock expert / crazed fanatic who has been running magnets since day one, so I felt it only fitting to issue some sort of small statement this week. It contains Buster Blader, The Dragon Destroyer Swordsman which is a fusion of Buster Blader and a Dragon Monster that acts as a straight upgrade to the original. ![]() When you spawn in this world, you have instant access to the two most underappreciated biomes: Deserts and Badlands.

The full Samba AI system is scheduled for unveiling at CES in January before rolling out to manufacturers later next year. Samba TV’s platform is best known for embedding a “smart pause” function in TVs to automatically show information about people on-screen along with ads whenever the content is paused. That technology will now be incorporated into Samba TV’s AI services. Disruptel’s tech is also designed for use with advertising, answering questions about visible products, and carrying out transactions upon request. For instance, it could answer questions as vague as “who’s wearing the red dress?” or “what brand of shoes is the guy on the left wearing?” during a scene. The company’s Deep Frame feature gives its AI contextual awareness, allowing it to answer questions like a human watching along and looking things up online. Disruptel Sambaĭisruptel’s AI can navigate content and use machine learning to better understand what people are viewing. Samba plans to incorporate Disruptel and its connected TV technology into its own platform, including Disruptel’s context-sensitive voice assistant capable of answering questions about who and what is on the screen at any moment and linking to commerce platforms for people who want to buy something they see in a show or commercial.

A network alert system was included by Satoshi Nakamoto as a way of informing users of important news regarding bitcoin. Since then, network capacity has been improved incrementally both through block size increases and improved wallet behavior. This limited the maximum network capacity to about three transactions per second. A one megabyte block size limit was added in 2010 by Satoshi Nakamoto. For this reason the checkpoints included are only as of several years ago. Finally, bitcoin-cli, a simple program which allows users to send RPC commands to bitcoind, is also included.Ĭheckpoints which have been hard coded into the client are used only to prevent Denial of Service attacks against nodes which are initially syncing the chain.

There are so many stories you can tell with the Muppets: These simple puppets became such quintessential American characters, and they’re these sort of oddballs that all follow their dreams, but they support each other, and they accept each other.” - Ryan LintelmanĪ costume worn by lead actress Elisabeth Moss in the series “The Handmaid’s Tale.” (Jaclyn Nash/National Museum of American History) ![]() “But with the Muppets in general, we try to keep one on display at all times. The original Kermit that we have on display right now came in with that. We’ve had this collection for a long time, and then a huge donation of the most historic puppets came in the 2010s, when Jane Henson and the family decided that they were going to give us some of those, especially the ones from ‘Sam and Friends,’ the first show Jim Henson did for the local NBC affiliate in Washington, D.C. Some of the puppets, especially the ones we have from ‘Sesame Street,’ are originals that were made for the show, and he gave them to us. “We have a really long relationship with the Henson family - we were the first museum to ever put Muppets on display back in the ’80s. Jim Henson’s original Kermit from "Sam and Friends." (Jaclyn Nash/National Museum of American History) The rebel must accept the mission for the greater common good. The film exhibited the rebel/leader qualities in Marvin's character to the fullest and these qualities attracted moviegoers to him. Likewise, Marvin disdained the brass, which included the formidable presences of Ernest Borgnine, Robert Ryan, George Kennedy, and Robert Webber. Marvin, again, was called upon to lead a powerful cast: John Cassavetes, Jim Brown, Donald Sutherland, Charles Bronson, Telly Savalas, and Clint Walker among them. Marvin was a rebel officer assigned against his will to train and lead the crew that the army group psychiatrist (Ralph Meeker) warned him were "just about the most twisted, anti-social bunch of psychopathic deformities I have ever run into." Army stockade miscreants given a second lease on life and freedom if they volunteered to drop behind German lines before D-Day and wipe out a chateau full of German officers. Robert Aldrich, who had first worked with Marvin in Attack! (1956), directed this story of U.S. ![]() The Dirty Dozen (1967) was Marvin's biggest hit and most enduring favorite among fans. ![]() Marvin pulled off the role neatly, as his biographer put it: “without showing much muscle, relying on cerebral power via voice intonations, a threatening smile, and those dominating eyes.” In the midst of the rescue in The Professionals, he and his cohorts discover that Ralph Bellamy’s wife (Claudia Cardinale) is really in love with the revolutionary, and Marvin resolved, finally, to turn the tables on the husband. Richard Brooks wanted the now "hot" actor to lead Woody Strode, Burt Lancaster, and Robert Ryan in The Professionals (1966), which dealt with a group of men rescuing a millionaire's wife from a Mexican revolutionary (Jack Palance).Īs in The Killers (1964) and, next, The Dirty Dozen, Marvin played the moral superior to his boss(es). This meant both choosing the right roles for his talents and taking risks. Winning the Best Actor Oscar gave Marvin greater freedom to choose scripts, demand higher salaries, and, ultimately, take his career into his own hands. Although, having won the other awards should have alerted the public that his performance was not going unnoticed. Amazingly, he beat out Richard Burton, Laurence Olivier, Rod Steiger, and Ship of Fools co-star Oskar Werner. Marvin won the Berlin Film Festival Best Actor award, Britain's Best Foreign Actor award, and to top it off, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Best Actor Academy Award. The most commented upon shot, however, featured Shelleen, drunk again, asleep on a horse, both leaning against a wall. He stopped drinking and, in a scene reminiscent of a bullfighter's dressing, was outfitted for the shootout. Hired by Catherine Ballou (Jane Fonda) to protect her father, and later to avenge the father's death, he was whipped into shape for a confrontation with Strawn. Shelleen was a once famous gunslinger turned drunk. Marvin played the dual role of Kid Shelleen and his villainous half-brother, Tim Strawn (aka Silvernose). Yet, from 1965 to 1973, if he did not dominate the box office, Marvin commanded attention on and off screen, starring in many major films and receiving one of Hollywood's highest honors.Ĭat Ballou (1965) played facilely with the traditional western and inspired later comedy-westerns including Texas Across the River, Waterhole #3, and Support Your Local Sheriff. ![]() This sample of superstars had either ascended from stardom to superstardom or who were catapulted immediately into superstardom in the mid-sixties.Īnother to add to the list was Lee Marvin, almost without warning, because he had been around so long.

In a world increasingly managed by public relations people, a star was anyone with a starring role the “Superstar” had to be created as a sort of star of stars. Starting in the late fifties, stars had to fend for themselves. Formerly, the stars had large studios – Paramount, MGM, RKO, Columbia, Universal, Fox, and Warner Brothers – to support them with a steady stream of solid film vehicles to display their stardom. With the studio system dead by the end of the Sixties, being a movie star could not guarantee an actor the best or most lucrative roles. The "superstar" phenomenon of the last forty years has not been restricted to the film world, but can be found in sports, politics, religion, and writing, when mere fame has not been enough to distinguish one star from another. ![]() Make sure your internet upload and download speeds are at least 15 Mbps.
