If being able to buy pizza, electronics, and blogging features using Bitcoins wasn't enough to convince you that the digital currency had finally hit its stride, Reddit's Bitcointip bot may be enough to win you over.
The bot allows reddit users to tip others for quality content using a comment or personal message. The bot was created by reddittor NerdfighterSean and is supported by more than 120 subreddits—including larger ones like r/starcraft, r/conspiracy, and r/MaleFashionAdvice.
NerdfighterSean was inspired to create the bot as answer to Reddit's karma mechanism, a way of rewarding or punishing people for posts and comments. Because a redditor can upvote a comment or post only once per account, dedicated users, like NerdfighterSean, have yearned for a way to better recognize Reddit's best content.
"It's easy to leave a tip at a restaurant or buy your buddy a Coke, why can't it be as easy online?" NerdfighterSean told the Daily Dot. "It frustrated me that all the online payment solutions charged fees that were too high, had too long of a delay, or had some other barrier to entry. When I found Bitcoin and realized that it was an open source solution to all of those problems, I started thinking about how to bring microtransactions to my favorite website Reddit."
It took months for NerdfighterSean to build the Bitcointip bot before launching it last fall. Although the bot is in still in beta, the general process for giving a tip is pretty much nailed down.
To use the bot, redditors must create an account by messaging user Bitcointip, which is actually just the bot controlled by NerdfighterSean's code. After your account is setup, you can load Bitcoins into it and dole them out as tips by using a Reddit user's profile name. If the redditor you are tipping does not have a Bitcointip account, one will be created for them. If the user doesn't accept the tip within 21 days, the transaction will be reversed and you'll get your bitcoins back.
Your name, credit card number, banking information, date of birth, social security number, or email address are not required to use the Bitcointip bot. Each transaction currently costs users .0005 Bitcoins (which, according to current conversion rates, is about $.02).
To date, more than $1,000 worth of Bitcoins have been tipped using NerdfighterSean's bot. That translates into 1,542 transactions, with the average tip being $.65.
"The minimum tip is 10 cents USD, but there's not a maximum," NerdfighterSean added. "If a joke makes you laugh, a story moved you, or the answer to a question taught you something, you could tip the author a little bit to show appreciation."
Pseudonymous developer "Satoshi Nakamoto" launched Bitcoin in January 2009. Since then, the currency has been released in blocks by to a self-replicating computer program that regulates the worldwide Bitcoin supply. The currency has long been used to hide illegal activities like drug dealing, but has recently grown in legitimacy. On Feb. 22 the currency surpassed an exchange rate of $30 per Bitcoin for the second time in history. It is currently trading at about $47 per coin.
On Wednesday, the Bitcointip bot hit a milestone after one random Reddit user tipped former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson .1 Bitcoin (which is currently valued at $4.72) for a comment he made during his AMA about how he plans on learning more about Bitcoins.
"I am so amazed, I can't move further down in the AMA," wellyesofcourse commented. "That's how amazed I am at this."
Other high profile redditors who have been tipped include Bill Gates and and Rick Falkvinge, founder of the Swedish Pirate Party. NerdfighterSean hopes such publicity helps more and more people embrace the digital currency.
"This goes to show that you don't have to be a Bitcoin nerd to start receiving Bitcoins," he said. "I think part of it is that Bitcoin is becoming easier to use. It takes time to develop software that interacts with the Bitcoin network, and we're starting to see some of those solutions coming out."

Like sands in the hour glass!
What a poem and what profound feeling!
Like high school kids sitting stunned after an overload of sucrose!
Poe lost his child bride in 1847, and subsequently died himself of exhaustion
brought on by bouts of heavy drinking in October 1849, at the age of forty.
Poe influenced the French poet Charles Baudelaire, and others including
Mallarme, Valery, and Rimbaud, as well as the symbolist school in France.
Poe has been recognized as not only a poet, but as a critic and short story
Let some of his over-wrought admirers (agony of losing again and again?)
on this site read his literary output in genres other than poetry. Poe was
more than the adolescent in love with himself that they applaud! (Report) Reply
David Laheist (4/30/2008 10:59:00 AM)
It's not so much the agony over losing his wife... it's the agony of losing here again and again...
The meaning is best explained by Poe himself in his letter to George Eveleth in January 1848...
'Six years ago a wife, whom I loved as no man ever loved before, ruptured a blood vessel in singing. Her life was despaired of. I took leave of her forever and underwent all the agonies of her death. She recovered partially and I again hoped. At the end of a year the vessel broke again. I went through precisely the same scene....Then again-again-and even once again, at varying intervals. Each time I felt all the agonies of her death-and at each accession of her disorder I loved her more dearly and clung to her life with more desperate pertinacity. But I am constitutionally sensitive-nervous in a very unusual degree. I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity. During these fits of absolute unconsciousness, I drank-God only knows how often or how much. As a matter of course, my enemies referred the insanity to the drink, rather than the drink to the insanity.... It was the horrible never-ending oscillation between hope and despair, which I could _not_ longer have endured without total loss of reason. In the death of what was my life, then, I received a new, but-O God! -how melancholy an existence! '
Actually, she didn't 'burst a blood vessel' technically, she had TB. I should point out that she fought the disease for five years before she died. That's a long time for poor Poe to ride such an emotional rollercoaster! (Report) Reply
Rondi Phillips (4/12/2008 4:21:00 PM)
'Like sands in the hourglass, so are the days of our lives! ' I just read this poem for the first time today, and I was completely awestruck by it. I wish I knew the history of this poem, but I suppose if we knew too much about Poe, we would not be so mesmerized with his literature. The mystery surrounding his life is what attracts many people to his writings, which are considerable. My interpretation of this poem is that it is personifying his wife, Virginia Clemm, her death, and his agony over losing her. He couldn't hang onto the sand in his hand or save her from the pitiless wave (her death to tuberculosis, which wasn't pretty!) , no matter how hard he tried. As far as a dream within a dream, for those of us who have gone through the loss of loved ones and the heart-wrenching grief that occurs, that is what it feels like. It can cause you to lose a grip on reality to a certain extent.
On another note, Edgar Allan Poe is regarded as the greatest writer of all time in France and Japan, yet here in his own country he is not as highly regarded. They even have a special affectionate name for him in Japan. Researching Poe's life is almost as fascinating as reading his works. (Report) Reply
Mercury Blue (3/27/2008 6:04:00 PM)
I came across this poem in the movie 'Picnic at Hanging Rock'by Peter Weir. The movie is very atmospheric and contemplative and has a wonderful musical score. The movie starts off by the 'dream within a dream line' voiced by a young woman in Victorian times in Australia.
The poem, for me, has spiritual undertones. It is a journey towards the realization of life being ephemeral and fleeting. But this angst should eventually lead the poet to the realization of something that changes not, in the midst of all these changes. And then he would realize that all that he sees and seems was but a dream. (Report) Reply
Coll B. Lue (3/9/2008 6:27:00 AM)
A nice reflection, very philosophical in approach as the words seem to gently express the dreams within. (Report) Reply

Genius Division Letterpress Business Cards
Red and white duplex is a striking combination as seen here in these business cards we printed for James Sheriff at Genius Division. Printing red ink to complement the red paper and then printing red ink over the red side rather than a blind deboss really help lift the pattern.

While 8 percent of Brunswick County students are eligible for the district's Academically or Intellectually Gifted (AIG) Program, school officials believe the actual number is much higher.
Connie Enis, curriculum coordinator for Brunswick County Schools, said identifying eligible students will be a major focus within the next year "so we can try to be as diverse as possible with our diverse student populations in our county."
Students in the Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) program at West Brunswick High School are celebrating their successes.
A family night celebration was last Thursday at the school. Several students were honored for academic achievements and accomplishments, as well as tutors and supporters of the program.
Brandi Roberts, AVID participant, said because of AVID, she made the A/B honor roll all year.
"AVID has really opened my eyes," she said during a speech at family night. "Now I see the importance of education."
The Exceptional Children (EC) program is monitored by state officials, who examine 15 quality indicators yearly.
"They set targets for districts to attain, and districts must make sure they make progress to meet goals," Jessica Swencki, director of Brunswick County Schools' EC program, said.
The Brunswick County Motorcycle Enthusiasts have scheduled their Spring Toy Run for Saturday, June 5, to raise money and gain participants for the Christmas Toy Run, which provides Christmas presents for needy children.
This will be the event's 18th year, organizer Jerome Munna said, and it's a way for motorcyclists and classic car buffs to participate in a fun event while also raising money for a good cause.
Reward money for anyone with information about the sea turtle babies that were stolen from their nest last August on Ocean Isle Beach is set to expire, and officials are still seeking for answers and additional information about the crime.
Gloria Hillenburg, coordinator of the Ocean Isle Beach Turtle Patrol, said there have been no calls, tips or information about last summer's incident. Members of the Turtle Patrol noticed a nest at West First Street had been disturbed during a daily check at about 7 a.m.
The Ocean Isle Beach Police Department investigated the following incidents last week. All information is taken directly from police incident reports.
•Van Hewett, 23, of Supply; charged with carrying concealed weapons, including a handgun and knife.
•Catherine Griffin, 23, of Chapel Hill; charged with less than a half ounce of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
•Samuel Billings, 23, of Chapel Hill; charged with less than a half ounce of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Sunday night's final episode of the series "Lost" was one of those TV milestones destined to go down in history—a finale that attempted to tie up all the mysterious show's loose ends.
Michele Johnson of Sunset Beach began watching the popular show the first season, and although she stopped keeping up a couple of seasons ago, she looked forward to the finale to find out how it was going to end.
HOLDEN BEACH—When renters re-arrange furniture in beach houses, move couches onto the strand or even change a car engine underneath a rental house, Debbie Dallas, maintenance and housekeeping supervisor for Alan Holden Vacations, takes it in stride.
After 10 years of taking charge of 300 beach houses on the island, she's seen it all—from renters so concerned about returning the following year they send back forks taken by mistake to visitors who take the rental home's mattresses and replace them with their old ones.
BOLIVIA—Brunswick County is a far cry from the fast-paced world of the Chicago suburbs from where Anthony Marzano hails.
That was part of the appeal in Marzano's decision to join Brunswick County as its emergency management director.
A certified emergency management director, Marzano joined Brunswick County Emergency Services on Monday, May 17, to replace longtime director Randy Thompson, who retired from the emergency services department in December.
Detectives with the New Hanover County Sheriff's Office Vice and Narcotics Unit arrested a Southport man on cocaine and firearms charges Friday night in Wilmington.
According to a New Hanover County Sheriff's Office press release, detectives arrested Cornelius Keith Smith, 35, of Southport, after an undercover investigation.
Smith was arrested on Oleander Drive in Wilmington. During the arrest, detectives seized an assault rifle, two automatic handguns, an extra magazine and a ballistic vest, the press release states.

Emphasis on the payementprocedure gave us an unhearty welcome. This also counts for the thorough check on breakage and stains when we left. Curtains in the house are white and transparant so daylight is coming in early.
Apart from that we had a pleasant stay in Sandbaai. Hermanus centre is not far (by car). Parking under Woolworth or Checkers is cheap.
Very pleasant stay Hermanus

We recently stayed for 4 nights at the Peace of Paradise apartment in Sandbaai, Hermanus. We enjoyed the stay very much as the apartment was clean, very spacious, lovely decorated, had a very nice view towards the sea, was quiet and private. Both Lucille and Hein were very nice and helpful. The only point we missed was WiFi. On the other had sat-tv is possible. We can highly recommend a stay at this apartment.

Our 3 night stay at Peace of paradise couldn't have been more perfect than its name. Location is perfect with amazing views. The facilities were excellent and everything we needed was right there. Lucille has been a great host in making our holiday a memorable one with her friendly and highly recommended service.

My friends and I really enjoyed our stay at A Peace of Paradise, and Lucille was nice enough to accommodate us for 1 night only on relatively short notice. The only negative thing I can think of was that it got pretty cold at night (August), and it would've been nice to have at least one or two space heaters available. The fireplace indoors was nice, but only helped for warmth if you stood right next to it. There were extra blankets though which helped.
Thank you

iPhone and Android App - voice rec + photo
This project received 36 bids from talented freelancers with an average bid price of $45504 USD.Get free quotes for a project like this
Project BudgetN/A
Total Bids36
Project Description
We will need an app developed for both platforms - mac and android which will allow users to record a short voice message and store it on our server + take a snapshot of face and store alongside the recording. Part of the job is to figure out the way to efficiently design the app to create an attractive flow from few introductory screens to voice/video recording and face snapshot and design a way to catalogue these together.
The second phase of the project is to be able to output collected recordings on the website. We don't know yet exactly how is it going to be presented on the site but we imaging a random playback of recordings. So essentially there are three elements here:
a.) introduction and narration screens - 2/3 with simple but sophisticated graphic appearance
b.) the part where users record voice message and then take a snaphshot of their face with phone camera > this is being saved on our server
c.) recordings are outputted to the website
I realize that this may seem broad brush but this is where we are at the moment. We look for a right candidate with experience who can contribute opinions and suggestions on the technical site of things and who is passionate about the challenge - not necessarily only wants to make some money. Give us your best quote as a ballpark number which we may later adjust in the spirit of mutual understanding.

Advancing Excellence, in partnership with the National LTC Ombudsman Resource Center, Administration for Community Living/Administration on Aging, and the Centers for Disease Control, held a webinar for long-term care ombudsmen on infection prevention. The February 25, 2014 webinar centered on infection prevention in nursing homes. Topics include: understanding how infections can be spread and how the Ombudsman can be a part of the solution (hand washing, etc.), addressing issues with residents who are in isolation due to an infection, and encouraging the nursing home to use this tool if infections are an issue. Handouts from the webinar are also available. Visit the National Long-Term Care Ombudsman Resource Center at http://ltcombudsman.org/node/1262.

I been talking to At&t this week about the same issues with the SGH-A877 Impression,the touch-screen has frozen-up and there are no alternatives to making calls. All they could do is send me a refurbished model of the same phone.
So I've had my impression since the end of Jan. i think and for the past month or so its been freezing up like crazy whenever i text its extremely slow and i can almost type my whole message before it shows up, when i try to use the camera it just sits there with the black screen and the camera icon in the middle until i either take the battery out or wait until it resets and when searching for files it does the same and freezes up...i've heard that there is a new firmware out for the newer ones that is suppose to speed it up on a few things...my cell has been kept in very good condition: it has never been dropped and nor has it been exposed to water. do you think AT&T will replace it? or trade it in on a similar phone? cuz altho i love the phone it just has too many hiccups when it comes to certain things i like...Thanks!

Pat Chapman chose his favourite restaurants from The Good Curry Guide's "Top 100" list. To be included on this list, a restaurant must have received several detailed, excellent reports from Guide readers, and at least one from one of the Guide's "elite" of 60-odd regular reporters, who make anonymous visits, and whose opinions are occasionally quoted here. To give a sense of how much each restaurant costs, we have quoted, where possible, the average price per head for a three-course meal excluding drinks. Alternatively, on occasion we have also followed the Guide's practice of quoting prices for a papadum and a chicken tikka masala (CTM). The Good Curry Guide is published by Coronet (pounds 6.99).
NB: opening hours, prices etc were correct at time of going to press; however, readers are advised to check details before setting out
Chutney Mary is packed full of aficionados, mostly regulars, who delight in its real Indian food. On the menu (a brief document) is a trio of Anglo- Indian dishes - kedgeree, country captain and masala roast lamb shank - but it is the Indian regional specialities to go for. Patronage by the Indian community proves that the food is as close to Indian home cooking as you could find in any restaurant. Go for the set meals for good value, or for the food festivals that are staged from time to time.
Where & when: 535 Kings Road, SW10 (0171-351 3113); daily 12.30pm-2.30pm & 7pm-11.30pm (till 10.30pm on Sun). How much: pounds 25-30.
Few restaurateurs care more about their restaurant and customers than Abdul Ahad of Jaipur. Here, everything from the decor to presentation is first class. Despite an imminent move to grand new premises, the interior has been redecorated in pink (reflecting its namesake city, Jaipur in Rajasthan). Reporters' favourite dishes include gosht garlic masala, twice- marinated trout, lamb with shatkora (Indian lime) and carrot halva.
Where & when: 502 Elder Gate, Central Milton Keynes (01908 669796); daily 12noon-3pm, 6pm-11.30pm (Sun buffet 12noon-5pm). How much: pounds 18.
Sigiri is a gem in the unlikely setting of Northfields, serving delightful, authentic Sri Lankan food. Find the corner site with its smoked glass windows, enter to the understated, elegant decor of slate floor and green walls, and enjoy the sensible service. The food's good, too. Try banana chips, with pol sambol or Maldives fish, followed by squid or pork ("devilled", they say, but the devil is quite a mild chappie at the Sigiri). Leave room for wattalappam, a very sweet Sigiri signature pudding.
Where & when: 161 Northfields Ave, W13 (0181-579 8000); daily 6.30pm-11pm.
How much: pounds 12.
Not the first balti house (that was a 1973 cafe called the Paris, long since closed), but certainly the longest-surviving - it opened in 1977. There's been a sparkling enlargement recently, but I'm pleased to see the menu hasn't changed: it still offers 72 different baltis, including their much-copied signature dish: meat "chicken" mince with veg-dall-spi- chana. Prices are also much the same. Not licensed, but there is an off- licence next door.
Where & when: 148-150 Stoney Lane, Sparkbrook, Birmingham (0121-449 0335); Sun-Wed 12noon-12m't, Thur-Sat till 1am.
How much: pounds 7.
Established in 1971 by Kris Patel, this functional, cafe-style, 100- seat restaurant serves "authentic Gujarati, Bombay and south-Indian food", with an all-vegetarian menu featuring many vegan dishes. The much-copied pioneer of Bombay pavement-kiosk snack food in the UK, Diwana is undoubtedly still the best of its kind, offering a wonderful selection of bhel puri: batata puri, dahi batata puri, chat aloo papri and batata pava. Probably the best value in London; and don't forget to BYO.
Where & when: 121 Drummond St, NW1 (0171-380 0730); daily 12noon-11.30pm.
How much: pounds 8-pounds 9.
Chef Atul Kochhar's individual dishes and home-made chutneys continue to draw praise. Chicken liver masala is a spicy melt-in-the-mouth appetizer, as is shami kebab. The small selection of eight curries is as minimalist as the decor, but this allows the kitchen to create each dish as its own entity and not from a central stock-pot. The result is a delicacy of touch found in the best Indian homes.
Where & when: 20 Queen St, W1 (0171-629 3561); Mon-Fri 12noon-3pm & 6pm- 11.30pm, Sat evening only, Sun till 10.30pm. How much: pounds 26.
I recall this restaurant serving biriani topped with edible silver leaf (vark) when it opened in the 1970s. It was the first time I'd seen it used in Britain, though traditionalists in India would not contemplate the dish without it. Since the EU ban on vark, the Maharajah no longer serves it, sadly. The rest of the menu (all Indian) seems ordinary, but the food is outstanding.
Where & when: 23 Hurst St, Birmingham (0121-622 2641); Mon-Sat 12noon-2pm & 6pm-11pm. How much: pounds 12.75.
The cheap, cafe-style India Club has been here since 1950, and I swear nothing has changed since it opened, including, I do believe, the barmaid. The flaking plaster, lack of tablecloths and pictures hung askew are all part of the charm, along with the fabulous, uncompromisingly Indian food. South Indian fare is the speciality: rasam (served in a teacup, and hot as hell), sambar, masala dosa and coconut chutney. Don't over- order - portions are generous.
Where & when: 143 The Strand, WC2 (0171-836 0650); Mon-Sat 12noon-2.30pm, 6pm-10pm. How much: pounds 8.
At the counter you order savouries and sweets by the pound. I know because, way back, I purchased 120 samosas here for a Curry Club function, and the measuring process proved a wee bit complex. Eventually the owners settled for 15p each, and the sams were worth the sum! The sit-down's fun, too, as our reporters confirmed: "Unlicensed all-hours cafe, cutlery on request. Asian clientele. Food cheap", and "Excellent. The service is good and the food very tasty."
Where & when: 110-114 Lumb Lane, Bradford (01274 731735); cafe daily 12noon-1.30am. How much: pounds 6.50.
A two-part venue: a sweet mart and an upmarket restaurant decorated with marble pillars and high-backed black chairs. Tasty starters of pani puri (crispy puris served with spicy sauce, chickpeas and onion), chanabateta (chickpeas and potatoes in a tamarind sauce) are followed by south-Indian specialities like masala dosa or idli sambhar (flat pulse balls with coconut chutney).
Where & when: 71-73 Belgrave Rd, Leicester (0116-261 0503); Tue-Thur 12noon-2.30pm & 6pm-9.30pm, Fri-Sun 12noon-9.30pm.
How much: pounds 15.
Pale walls give a spacious feel, enhanced by richly embroidered tapestries of rural Lahore, and tables with pink cloths. There are only 50 seats, so booking is necessary. Don't expect quick food from head chef Manoor Ahmed: he cooks everything freshly, and a 30-minute wait is not uncommon. The menu is pure Lahori cuisine. Specials include Lahori steam-roast chicken, masala machli Lahori, (robustly spiced white fish), quail masala, and baby chicken tabaq. One devotee reported: "In my top four. Superb lunchtime special; great value. Included best-ever peshwari nan."
Where & when: 47 Balham Hill, SW12 (0181-673 7820); Mon-Sat 12noon-2.45pm & 6pm-11.45pm. How much: papadam 60p, CTM pounds 6.50.
One look at Gulshan is enough to tell you that it is likely to be good. Along its three-shop frontage is a white facia, supported by 12 pillars. Tinted, partially curtained windows reveal an inviting restaurant scene with impressive leather-backed chairs, crisp linen-dressed tables and decent cutlery. There's imaginative use of wine in the cuisine (as in mustard balti chicken, cooked with wine), which gives the largely traditional dishes an unexpected and subtle lift. A caring restaurant, which gives a nuts warning where relevant, and the staff are great with children.
Where & when: 544-546 Aigburth Rd, Liverpool (0151-427 2273); daily 5pm- 11pm.
How much: set meals from pounds 15.95.
This unpretentious south-Indian restaurant shows exactly how Keralan cuisine should be done - and at totally affordable prices. The slightly tacky decor will transport you straight to Kerala, and the food is heaven- sent. It's a no-frills place: paper tablecloths, methodical but sure service, bizarre toilet location, and plenty of regulars, Indian and non-Indian. Does the best masala dosa in town - accompany it with rasam (pepper soup) and sambar (thin lentil curry).
Where & when: 192-194 Tooting High St, SW17 (0181-672 6903); daily 12noon- 3pm, 6pm-11pm (Fri & Sat till 12m't).
How much: less than pounds 10.
Now with "New" in its name, Mohammed Nawaz's simply decorated restaurant seats a massive 350 diners, on two floors. Pakistani curries and accompaniments feature on a menu cooked by chefs Gopal Mohan Dangol, Anwar Javaid and Sajid Ali. Balti is very popular with diners, who rave: "Another little gem. Karahi nawabi bataire (quails) and Afghani bashyan (tender, juicy lamb chop marinated in cream, spices and barbecued) are not to be missed."
Where & when: 199-201 Wilmslow Rd, Rusholme, Manchester (0161-257 3890); daily 12pm-1am.
How much: pounds 7; Sun buffet pounds 4.95.
This African-Asian family-run venue specialises in both Gujarati and Kenyan vegetarian dishes. The former include dahi vadas and kadhi (yoghurt and besan sauce with dumplings), katia wahd (a tomato-based curry), and karela bharah (stuffed bitter gourd). The latter selection features cassava chips, kasodi (sweetcorn in a peanut and yoghurt-based sauce), and matoki (plantain curry). The bhel poori is a snip at pounds 2.10, and this is one of the few places where you can experience bhatura - giant puri bread, which puffs up to balloon-size when deep-fried (it's all the rage in New York's curry houses at the moment).
Where & when: 188 Upper Tooting Rd, SW17 (0181-767 7027); 12.30pm-2pm Wed-Sun, & 6pm-10.30pm daily. How much: pounds 12-pounds 14.
Despite being larger than ever (it's new conservatory has virtually doubled capacity), the Bombay Brasserie operates very smoothly, with a highly experienced team. Who else could have survived a chef change and a major rebuild and still be full every night? If you want to sample Indian regional cooking that's as near to authentic as you can get outside of the Indian home, choose specialities such as patrani macchli (fish embalmed in green chutney and baked in a banana leaf), or parsee jardaloo salti boti (lamb cooked with apricot and garnished with potato straws). Expensive, and booking ahead is still essential.
Where & when: Courtfield Close, Courtfield Rd, SW7 (0171-370 4040); daily 12.30pm-3pm, 7.30pm-12m't. How much: pounds 30.
One of seven outlets in the very popular family-run chain of Aagrahs. The food is Pakistani, which self-taught cook Mohammed Aslam has insisted that all family members learn, so that the food in all Aagrah restaurants is of equal standard. There is ample choice in the identical menus. Starters include yahknee (spicy chicken soup) and panir pakora (Indian curd-cheese fritter). Aslam's current specials are murgh hydrabady (spring chicken, tangy spices, coriander, yoghurt, tomatoes and ginger), and balti bhindi aloo paneer (curd cheese, bhindi and potato, with onions, ginger, garlic and coriander).
Where & when: Aberford Rd, Garforth, W Yorks (0113-287 6606); daily 6pm- 11.30pm (Fri & Sat from 5.30pm). How much: pounds 14.
Goan food is a cuisine apart, having a Portuguese influence. Try the vindaloo: this one's the real thing, based on the Portuguese dish vinho d'alhos (wine vinegar and garlic). In the Goan version, pork is marinated with the above and plenty of chillies. It is then slow-cooked and served in traditional earthenware handis. The other Goan delights are too numerous to list. But please be patient. This is not your wham-bam, multi-dish, rapid-fire curry house. Relax with a chilled Portuguese vinho verde while you wait for your order.
Where & when: 244 Upper Richmond Rd, Putney, SW15 (0181-780 1767); Tue- Sat 6.30pm-11pm, Sun 12.30pm-2.30pm only.
How much: pounds 16.
This unusual restaurant in a renovated Grade II-listed building has three dining rooms: one leading from the bar; one (the Shalimar room, named after gardens in Pakistan) opening onto the gardens; and one richly decorated with a Georgian plaster ceiling and swagged curtains. Pakistani delicacies are on the menu. "Kumbi pullao arasta rice cooked with mushrooms was out of this world," says one reporter. "Karahi mogulai - pieces of lamb cooked with cream, egg, ground nuts, garnished with almonds - was superb. Karahi murgh jalfrezi was the best my husband has ever tasted."
Where & when: Lockwood Road, Kingsley Holt, Staffs (01538 750831); daily 12noon-2.30pm & 6pm-11pm (Fri & Sat till 11.30pm). How much: pounds 17-20.
It's the vegetarian menu, with its mainly Gujarati specials (cooked by the wife and mother of owner Jyoti Pattni, above), that makes Rani different. One reporter comments: "The food has always been superb here, but I found that the relatively small menu became rather monotonous, so I welcomed the new menu. It has some cold starters which are `to die for'. Rashia vall, great. Rice and breads as good as usual."
Where & when: 3 Long Lane, N3 (0181-349 2636) Mon-Sat 6pm-10.30pm, Sun 12noon-10.30pm.
How much: pounds 12-15.
It cost pounds 2.5m to convert an enormous Mayfair ballroom into this extraordinary restaurant. The interior features a sandstone arch, a 40ft waterfall, a sweeping marble staircase with pink-sandstone balustrades (imported from India's pink city, Jaipur), and airy, domed skylights. La Porte purports to present cuisine from "French India" (though, according to Indians who live in the main ex-French area, Pondicherry, there is no such thing as Pondicherry cuisine) alongside classic dishes from all over India. The French connection may be tenuous, but the ambience, decor, service and food are all as good as it gets.
Where & when: 32 Bryanston St, W1 (0171-224 0055); Mon-Fri 12noon-2.30pm & 7-11.30pm, Sat 7pm-11.30pm, Sun 6pm-10.30pm. How much: pounds 30-40.
Here you'll find stylish decor - pure 1930s Art Deco, complete with grand piano - combined with one of the biggest and most comprehensive menus in the country. Regular "formula" curries sit alongside regional and authentic dishes, including recipes from the British Raj, such as country captain, (a dry dish cooked with chicken breast, onion, ghee, chillies, ginger garlic, turmeric and salt) and Raj lamb and cabbage. These join a few oriental dishes, such as dim sum or king prawn rolls.
Where & when: 168 Kells Lane, Low Fell, Gateshead (0191-482 6494); Mon- Sat 12noon-2.30pm & 6pm-11.30pm, Sun evening only.
How much: pounds 20.
Relax in the cosy red decor, admire the many tiger pictures on the walls, then avail yourself of the personalised service and advice that Anne-Marie (above) has been delighting her regulars with for over 30 years. The memsahib's personal touches turn an ordinary looking menu into stimulating cuisine. "Fabulous fresh chicken dopiaza cooked original-style with crispy fried onion, a mean dhansak, and succulent tandoori dishes served with fluffy nans - basically curries with attitude!" enthuses one reporter.
Where & when: 4 Norbreck Parade, off Hanger Lane, Ealing, NW10 (0181- 991 5366); Mon-Thur 12noon-2.30pm & 6pm-11.30pm, Fri 12noon-2.30pm & 6pm- 12m't, Sat & Sun evenings only. How much: pounds 10.
The decorative theme is Agra's Red Fort -- probably India's best example of a Moghul residence. The food is formula, done well. Specials include murgh with apricot (marinated chicken with apricot yoghurt sauce, cream and fresh coriander) and Rajasthani paro breast (pigeon). "Remains my favourite," says one reporter. "Our party of eight was extremely impressed with a banquet of whole marinated leg of lamb, a huge steamed fish and eight other main dishes. The wine list still consists of an armful of bottles placed on your table to take your pick from - a tradition I hope will remain."
Where & when: 19b Bird St, Lichfield, Staffs (01543 254399); 12noon-2.30pm (Sat only), daily 5pm-12m't. How much: papadam 40p, CTM pounds 6.95.
A vegetarian restaurant with vegan dishes. "You often have to queue here. We waited on the pavement until they called out our number, but it is well worth it," notes a reporter. "They do deluxe masal dosas, and a great vegetarian thali main course. Their bhel puri (above) is gorgeous, with its crispy, crunchy textures, and its tart, hot and savoury tastes, and there is a variant called alloo papdi chaat." The menu features Indian pizzas alongside curries from south India, reflecting a current craze that extends beyond Wembley Asians to Delhi and Bombay!
Where & when: 420 High Road, Wembley, Middlesex (0181-903 5989); Tue- Fri 12noon-3pm & 6-10.30pm, Sat & Sun 1pm-10.30pm. How much: pounds 6.
Probably the most expensive Pakistani restaurant in the UK, if not the world, and with a menu that features meat, meat and more meat. There is a comprehensive tandoori section providing succulent, natural-coloured, divinely flavoured offerings. The chicken shashlik is superb; lamb chops and shami kebabs are both lean and melt-in-the-mouth; and the chicken jalfrezi is fresh and poignant. Despite the expense, this institution merits at least one visit, though booking is essential.
Where & when: 62-64 Kinnerton St, Knightsbridge, SW1 (0171-235 4444/6845): Mon-Sat 12noon-2.30pm & 7pm-11.45pm.
How much: pounds 30.
A very elegant restaurant with floorboards, beautiful hand-forged black steel chairs, white-linen tablecloths and large, fragile wine glasses. The food is first-class Nepalese; though more evolved and modern than earthy village cuisine. Specialities include vegetable khaja (vegetable filo rolls with mint and mustard dressing), bhutuwa (stir-fried chicken liver cooked with traditional Nepalese spices), pokhareli lamb (rich spiced lamb), and hariyo macha (steamed fish wrapped in spinach prepared in a mild, dry, fruit sauce).
Where & when: 111 Station Rd, Oxted, Surrey (01883 722621); Mon-Thur 12noon-2.30pm & 6pm-11pm, Fri & Sat till 11.30pm, Sun 1pm-10pm.
How much: pounds 12.
This brasserie pioneered a wave of Raj reminiscence-theme restaurants when it opened 10 years ago, and has maintained consistently high standards. "Always a pleasure to visit," notes one devotee. "The service is efficient but not obtrusive, and the quality of food very high." "A genuine classy restaurant with an excellent menu range," comments another. "Liver hazra (liver cooked and tossed in spices) was rich and almost a meal in itself. Tiger wings are chicken drumsticks tandoori-style. Food is up among the best for quality, at value-for-money prices."
Where & when: 253 Kentish Town Rd, NW5 (0171-485 6688); Mon-Fri 12noon- 3pm & 6pm-m't, Sat & Sun evenings only.
How much: pounds 12.
Now owned by Mithu Dhar, this ex-church was converted to its current use in 1984. Reached by an imposing staircase, the plum seats are on the balcony, which overlooks downstairs diners. "It has bags of atmosphere, with its oak beams and strategically placed Indian artefacts. We often go on Thursday evenings for the pounds 12.95 per person Candlelight Dinner," says one reporter. Others rave about chef Faruk Ah's signature dishes - chicken shagorika (tikka pieces twice-cooked in a spicy sauce with peas) and lashuni chicken flambe (a tandooried fillet of chicken breast in a creamy garlicky sauce flambeed in brandy at your table).
Where & when: Church Street, Adlington, Lancashire (01257 481894); daily 12-2pm, 6-11pm.
How much: from pounds 9.25.
This superb vegetarian restaurant was opened in 1990 by Pamchandra Tiwari, whose wife, Hemantika, supervises the kitchen staff to ensure first-class cooking. Bombay street food, such as bhel poori with tamarind chutney, features on the menu along with south Indian delights. Try the delicious masala dosa (wafer-thin pancake wrapped around potato curry made from lightly spiced curry leaves, sauteed onions, mustard seeds and turmeric) served with home-made coconut chutney. Unusual and tasty curries such as pumpkin are also a delight.
Where & when: 4 The Promenade, Edgwarebury Lane, Edgware; daily 6pm-10.30pm. Open for Sunday lunch. x
This elegant, 70-seat basement restaurant quietly goes about its business without fanfare or hype. It is, and always has been since it opened in 1965, a leader in style, from its carefully selected small number of dishes, to its decor and exemplary wine list. The food is subtly spiced, but chefs will step up both spice levels and chilli heat if required. Tandoori lamb chops are a house speciality. "Every dish we had was marvellous, service was good, and prices fair for the quality and area," comments one reporter. "We were very impressed."
Where & when: 153 Fulham Rd, SW3 (0171-589 7617); Mon-Sat 12.30pm-2.30pm & 6.30pm-12m't; Sun 6.30pm-11.30pm.
How much: pounds 20.
This 84-seat branch of Rajdoot - the others are in Bristol (see No 37), Dublin, Manchester and Fuengirola, Spain - was opened in 1972. Like all the Rajdoots, it is tastefully and authentically decorated. Chefs here are Nepalese, and their cooking is as delicate as any you'll find. "Absolutely superb, we find this establishment to be extremely reliable," enthuses a reporter. "Fish tikka starter exquisite as usual. Lamb punjabi masala was a good choice: meat extremely well-spiced, served in a dark onion- and-tomato gravy finished with balsamic vinegar and red wine."
Where & when: 12 Albert St, Birmingham (0121-643 8749); Mon-Sat 12noon- 2.30pm & 6.30-11.30pm, Sun evening only. How much: pounds 13-15.50.
Established in 1982, this small 48-seater is the best of London's few Nepalese restaurants - it actually has a Nepalese chef and owner, and, more particularly, a decent number of Nepalese specialities, including masco bara (black-lentil pancakes with curry sauce), dumba (mutton), pork bhutwa (the Nepalese have no proscriptions on either pork or alcohol) and hach ko (duck) curries. There is also a range of 11 Nepalese vegetable dishes, plus all the standard curries and tandooris - though why you'd go for these here is beyond me. Always book, especially in the summer.
Where & when: 48 Eversholt St, Euston, NW1 (0171-388 6737); daily 12noon- 2.30pm & 6pm-11.30pm.
How much: pounds 14.
The Nazir brothers make balti into an art form. Their restaurant is huge - 175 seats on two floors, yet does not feel oversized. It's open all hours, is BYO, and is very reasonably priced: fill up for pounds 5 or blow out for pounds 10. Big portions of great food are served in voluminous, sizzling bowls on glass-topped tables. Try the marvellously tasty balti chicken with fresh fenugreek or mint. The Naim used to have one weakness: precooked starters. But its pakora has now been sent packing for a freshly prepared version that could batter any opposition. Where & when: 417-419 Stratford Rd, Sparkhill, Birmingham (0121-766 7849); daily 12noon-1am. How much: pounds 6-7.
This long-established (1985), licensed, vegetarian restaurant, just off Haymarket, is the tiniest of three Woodlands. Run-of-the-mill decor, rocky tables and "nasty music" are compensated for by food praised as "orgasmic" by one reporter. "I adore southern Indian food, and find the menu so appealing it makes choice difficult. The set thali (pounds 6.50) was exceptionally good value, and the paper dosa, upma, lhassi and channa are as good as ever. Also glad to have a choice of Indian desserts. Good value."
Where & when: 37 Panton St, SW1 (0171-839 7258); Sun-Wed 12noon-2.45pm & 5.30pm-11pm, Thur, Fri & Sat till m't. How much: pounds 9-10.
When Namita Panjabi and Ranjit Mathrani of Chutney Mary (see No 1) bought Britain's oldest Indian restaurant (founded 1926), its reputation had been at rock-bottom for a decade. Now redecorated and relaunched, with floors of polished hardwood, modern lighting and walls painted in vibrant, glowing earth colours, this is, says one reporter, a "wonderful, talented and stunningly modern transformation". Starters include oysters and mussels. Roghan josh - lamb shanks slow-cooked in an intense broth for 5 to 6 hours till the meat is falling off the bone - is the most popular dish.
Where & when: 99-101 Regent St, W1 (0171-734 1401); Mon-Sat 12noon-2.30pm & 5.30-11.30pm, Sun 12noon-3pm & 6pm-10.30pm. How much: pounds 23.
Established in 1970 by Indian architect Des Sarda, who owns and established the whole chain (see also No 32). As most "Indian" restaurants are Bangladeshi- run, Rajdoot's food may come as a surprise to some: it is much truer to the authentic food you'll find in homes in northern India. It is this very fact that leads to the disappointment expressed to us by some first- time visitors to Rajdoot, who find the food doesn't match their expectations. I have to say that I find it excellent on all counts.
Where & when: 83 Park St, Bristol (0117-926 8033); Mon-Sat 12noon-2.30pm & 6.30pm-11.30pm, Sun evening only.
How much: CTM pounds 7.20, pullao rice pounds 1.80.
Despite Birmingham's claim to be the inventor of the balti, this gaff has been doing it under what some say is its true name, "karahi", since it opened over 20 years ago. Cutlery is for wimps: eat the correct way, please, using a piece of roti to scoop up your curry. Halal mutton, chicken and quail are the dish of the day, whether in the karahi, from the tandoor, or as a steam roast (choosa). Real veterans show their spurs by enjoying the celebrated paya (lamb's trotters) laced with hot chilli raita. Don't expect pampering.
Where & when: 2 Umberton St, E1 (0171-481 9737); daily 12noon-12m't.
How much: pounds 8 (cash only).
The venue is spotlessly, the welcome warm, and the service efficient and friendly - customer-care is uppermost here. There is nothing over-remarkable about the items on the attractive menu, but everything is well cooked and above average. A curryhouse should be as the pub is in the local area. It should be a place where locals can be comfortable, unwind, enjoy and not feel overcharged. This restaurant is all of these things.
Where & when: 6 Quay Street, Woodbridge, Suffolk (01394 387983); daily 12noon-2pm & 6pm-11pm. How much: papadam 45p, CTM pounds 6.95.
The redecorated Star, now some years old, still has everyone talking about the murals, stars, lighting, flora and, above all, the prices. And co-owner Reza Mahammad is one of their loudest exponents. "Such luxury doesn't come cheap," he says. "What do you expect for the Sistine Chapel directed by Zeffirelli?" Who's to argue - his 94-seater is always packed with tourists and regular fans. Specials include patrani maachli (pomfret with coriander wrapped in banana leaf) and the smoky-tasting baigan-e- bahar (aubergine stuffed with paneer, spiced with curry leaf, mustard and sesame).
Where & when: 154 Old Brompton Rd, SW5 (0171-373 2901); daily 12noon- 2.45pm & 6pm-11.45pm (Sun 7pm-11.15pm). How much: pounds 25.
Mohammad Salim's establishment in the heart of Rusholme, Manchester's main Indian area, is so vast it has to employ two managers - Faisal and Tanveer. The 340 seats are spread amoung four dining rooms on two floors, decorated in pink and blue. Bangladeshi and Pakistani formula curries are on the menu, cooked by head chef Shahid. "Up-market, bright and clean," notes a reporter. "Lamb chop tikka, one of the best and most filling starters I have had. Will visit again."
Where & when: 9-19 Wilmslow Rd, Rusholme, Manchester (0161-257 3922); daily 12noon-12m't.
How much: pounds 10.
Saagar excels at what it does, a smart restaurant with 98 seats split between two floors, with food cooked to perfection. Reporters are enthusiastic: "Everything it is cracked up to be. Vegetarian thali for two is not just a tray but a seemingly endless train of small bowls." Another remarks: "Chicken kaallan was very sweet yet very sour too; tender pieces cooked in a south- Indian style with mango, coconut and yoghurt." Little things like fresh flowers, proper lemon squeezers and spotless toilets are greatly appreciated by Saagar's diners, and give it the edge over competitors.
Where & when: 473 Mansfield Rd, Sherwood, Nottingham (0115 962 2014); Mon-Sat 12noon-2.15pm & 5.30pm-12.30am. How much: pounds 9.50.
Sarkhel's is tiny, smart and simple, with white walls, terracotta-tiled floor, and wooden chairs at intimate tables draped in white linen. A good menu, with all the Indian favourites, is complemented by a daily specials board. The chef's piece de resistance is Hyderabadi lamb biriani garnished with an onion tarka, served in a beaten copper handi whose matching lid is sealed traditionally with dough. This comes with a tandoor-cooked laccha paratha that's light and buttery. Bombay Brasserie food at south London prices, earning this accolade from one reporter: "Wonderful service. Very good food."
Where & when: 199 Replingham Rd, SW18 (0181-870 1483); Mon-Thur 6pm-10.30pm, Fri & Sat till 11pm, Sun 12noon-2.30pm only. How much: pounds 15.
Decorated with swathes of silk on the ceiling and pleated saris on the walls, Tagore boasts Bombay-trained chef Rajendra Balmiki, who cooks northern- Indian curries and specials from the Pathan tribal people of Afghanistan. Afghan food involves kebab-skewer cooking and slow-cooking in pots, which translates here into a select menu: kebab ke karishma, a selection of kebabs, is popular; patrani mahi, pomfret coated in herbal chutney, leaf- wrapped and baked, is a rarity to be savoured. "On all occasions I have found their food to be a world apart from the traditional curry houses," notes one diner. "Excellent value." Where & when: 3 High St, Welling, Kent (0181-304 0433); daily 6.30pm-11pm. How much: pounds 18.
Seats 104 on two floors. The Good Curry Guide was the first to recognize this restaurant back in 1984 when its clientele was mostly Asian. Today, and dozens of awards later, there are as many non-Asians as Asians enjoying the food and ambience here. The food is typical Punjabi and far removed from the Bangladeshi curry-house formula. The signature dishes, butter methis and jeera chicken, are an absolute must, while house specials such as mniahma chommah (spring lamb ribs seasoned, marinated and cooked in tandoor) are highly recommended.
Where & when: 39 South Rd, Southall, Middx (0181-574 1897); Mon & Wed- Fri 12.30pm-3pm & 6pm-11.30pm, Sat & Sun evenings only. How much: pounds 12.
Here's a place with a real difference. The venue opens at noon and operates, cafe-style, until midnight. Lunch a la carte is served until 2.30pm; then the snacks menu operates in the adjoining bar until 6pm. From 6pm the full menu comes into play, and an interesting document it is. Naturally, there is a wide range of Bangladeshi and Bengali dishes, but there are so many other dishes and ingredients that it takes several visits to explore. And that's only half the story: the other half of the menu features Thai food, cooked by a Thai chef.
Where & when: 20 High St, Theale, Berks (0118-930 4040), daily 12noon-12m't.
How much: pounds 30
Always full to bursting, Brilliant is especially popular with Asian families. The restaurant has many large tables laid out banquet style, with white-linen cloths and paper napkins; chandeliers and padded velvet chairs add the finishing touch. On busy nights you may be seated next to strangers, but conversation soon flows, as does the Punjabi cuisine, which is spicy though not necessarily hot. "Carrot and mint home-made pickles are on the table, and masala papadams, either fried or roasted, are served while you peruse the not-overly-large menu," notes a diner.
Where & when: 72-76 Western Rd, Southall, Middx (0181-574 1928); Tue- Thur 12noon-3pm & 6pm-11.30pm, Fri-Sun 6pm-12m't. How much: pounds 15.
Tamasha means "something worth seeing". And this is! You enter past a smartly saluting geezer, via an awning flanked by tub plants. The dining room, in two parts, is superbly decorated like a British Raj club. The food is from north and south India, Goa and Kashmir, and curry-house formula it certainly is not. Chicken nilgiri tikka (boneless chicken marinated in spices, fresh coriander and mint) and sev pappri (gram flour threads, chick peas and potatoes with coriander leaves, mint and a tart tamarind sauce on a bed of crispy puri) are both treasures.
Where & when: 131 Widmore Rd, Bromley, Kent (0181-460 3240); daily 12noon- 2.30pm & 6pm-11.30pm. How much: pounds 19 a la carte.
Owner Abdul Monnan is a qualified chef, and though he is to be found out front these days, he's very much respected in his kitchen. One diner finds Monnan and his energetic manager, Abdul Kadir, "most polite and friendly, greeting regular customers like old friends. An outstanding feature is the generosity of the portions, piping hot and very nicely presented." Specials include chicken or lamb rezala, slightly hot and sweet, in a tangy sauce; and beef jagannath - well-spiced fillets with capsicum, green chillies and coriander. A formula-curry house doing the job as well as it can be done. Where & when: 177/181 Montague St, Worthing, E Sussex (01903 205449): daily 12noon-2.30pm & 5.30pm-11.30pm. How much: pounds 15.
Smart and sophisticated, this restaurant is regarded as one of Oxford's best. The owner, Aziz Rahman, is a keen promoter of Bangladeshi cuisine, and his restaurant does the Bangladeshi curry-house formula in style. "Excellent quality, charming service; a very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere," says one diner. Another notes: "Decoration immediately impressed. Tables are simply but elegantly set with crisp white linen. Good vegetarian selection on menu. Generous quantities and delicately flavoured. Emphasis on subtlety. A splendid meal." Where & when: 230 Cowley Rd, Oxford (01865 794945); Mon-Sat 12noon-2.15pm & 6pm-11.30pm; Sun 12noon-11.30pm. How much: pounds 12.

This review is from: Razer Goliathus RZ02-00210500-R3M1 Mouse Pad-Control - Full Multi Language
Pros: It's a fantastic mousepad for the price. Before this, I had a Razer eXactMat for almost 4 years (bought it at QuakeCon 2005). The eXactMat was a fantastic mousepad, but in 4 years it managed to get worn out.
So, as a cheap replacement I got the Goliathus, and after playing a quick round of Quake Live, I'm pretty happy with it. I wouldn't say it has as much quality as the eXactMat, but it's definitely a great mousepad, especially for the price.
Cons: Can't say I have any cons for this one!
Other Thoughts: If you have the money, definitely get an eXactMat or a Destructor. I can't recommend a Mantis because I've never used one; but I would have bought one if it didn't have that giant ugly green razer logo on the thing. I just think the Mantis looks generic because of the look of it. =/READ FULL REVIEW

Martin comes up big in victory over Nuggets
[caption id="attachment_1818" align="aligncenter" width="504" caption="The Denver Nuggets Al Harrington, left, battles for rebound position with the Clippers Kenyon Martin at Pepsi Center on Wednesday. / DOUG PENSINGER, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS"][/caption]
Kenyon Martin played in Denver for seven years, and in his first trip back to the Pepsi Center this season Nuggets fans acknowledged him with a strong chorus of boos.
But a late tip-in and a blocked shot from the veteran forward silenced the crowd and helped give the Clippers a 104-98 victory.
With the scored in the final minute, Chris Paul missed a jumper from the wing but Martin slid in and tipped the ball up and in the basket to put the Clippers ahead. With Denver trying to tie the score, Martin came from behind to block Ty Lawson's lay-in, slamming the door on the Nuggets.
"He saved my tail," Paul said. "Very fitting to be back here in his old stomping grounds and win the game for us. That block was unreal."
With the victory the Clippers kept the pressure on the Lakers in the race for Pacific Division championship. The Clippers also shrunk their magic number to two for clinching home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
The Clippers have won 13 of their past 15 games.
Paul led the Clippers with 21 points, and Mo Williams scored 14 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter.
The Clippers got off to a brutal start, with the Nuggets getting easy basket after easy basket throughout the first quarter. But the Clippers' bench sparked a comeback
Led by Nick Young and Williams, the Clippers closed to six by halftime. Momentum continued to favor the Clippers in the second half as they went on a 14-2 run.
But Denver hung around and slipped back into the lead by the end of the third quarter before the Clippers ultimately got the key road win.
The Clippers tied a season high with 14 3-point baskets.

Too simple - could have done something to give 'yellow' more meaning but this? Feels like a nice first thought though.
Lovely YP expression. Great little campaign.
The Jobless Writer
Will Think for Salary
Might work if everything in life was black and white!
But what if I'm looking for cheese stores? Lemon, pineapple, corn, squash or banana suppliers? Golden labrador, chick and canary pet stores? Daffodil, dandelion or sunflower shops? Raincoat, Post-it, pencil or school-bus manufacturers? Mustard, custard or butter makers? Big Bird, Pac-man, Smiley or Tweetie or Sponge Bob costume makers? :P
Oh and btw, the universally recognized colour for hard-hats is....yellow!
Well the fact is that this can work with anything of any color except for yellow. Put green red blue purple navy pink any color and have an object the same color and the concept works.
Always try to be unique even when forced to conform.
It would work if the message was, 'Be visible with yellow pages', not 'Stand out'. Any colour would be visible on any colour that's not the same as it is. But only a few colours provide a high enough contrast for them to 'stand out' on yellow. Which makes yellow just as good as any other colour in the 'making things stand out' area. :D
and if not yellow apges, am not gonna be on a black page for sure...so i am not too attracted.
this first idea. 0 effort.
simplicity doesn't mean that you don't use your brain!!! DAH..another bad campaign from LOWE Dubai!
This idea breaks the notion... that first idea should always be ignored.
'Be visible with yellow pages' could work better, agree with takmelius

J.C. Hutchins, journalist turned science fiction author, creates a conspiracy theorist's nightmare in 7th Son: Descent. His story tells us about an ultra-secret government agency in charge of the 7th Son project, which conducts biological and psychological research. They have taken molecular cloning to the extreme and brought new meaning to the concept of identity theft. One of their former participants, John Michael Smith, has gone rogue, and orchestrated the President of the United States assassination by a four-year-old boy.
7th Son bred John Michael Smith from genetic lines that ensured him above average intelligence and physical traits. They created seven identical beta clones of John Michael Smith, a.k.a. John Alpha. The clones not only look like John Alpha, but they have equivalent mental and physical capabilities. 7th Son implanted the clones with John Alpha's childhood memories. The clones were sent out into the world to develop individual character traits. They lived in ignorance of each other and their participation in the project. Upon the President's assassination the government ripped the happy little beta clones from their self-centered existence, and formed them into a dysfunctional team to hunt their genetic benefactor.
Hutchins provides a suspense-driven story based on future science with a little bit of military special ops added to the mix. He explains the technology in rudimentary terms, but this is okay as long as the author can make the story believable. At a book signing, Hutchins talked about the influence of Stephen King on his work. He spoke of King's book It, and how King's readers are willing to believe. King can convince the reader of the reality of a spider disguised as a circus clown that lures kids into the sewer to eat them. Even though the science in 7th Son: Descent is far fetched, Hutchins makes the story believable.
Hutchins' fiction publishing career took an innovative route. He wrote his story as a massive 1200-page creation. No one wanted to risk the publication of such a large body of work from a first time author, so Hutchins put his story on the Internet as a podcast. He broke the story up into free weekly segments. He supplied all of the voices. After Internet denizens fully embraced the podcasts, St. Martins offered him a contract. He published the first third of 7th Son: Descent in 2009. Hopefully, the second third of the story will be released in print form soon.Powered by Sidelines

Traveler Reviews
Reviewed by: yuk, October 2014
The tour itinery is good. We expected the coach would drop off and picked up from each hotel we stayed but didn't. They had arranged a taxi to drop off/pick up the first night at Rothenburg but the access road to the hotel was blocked off due to repair work. We had 2 piece of luggage over 20 kgs each and had to pull them up and down the hotel on the dirt road for 100 meters. The first hotel have no lift and we had to carry our luggage up and down 22 steps to our room. The second hotel was about 5 minutes walk through a busy street and no direction has been given. The third hotel was about 10 minutes away on a busy street from the coach stop. We had to call a taxi ourselves.

Lovely angle on the train, has it really hurtling towards us. I'm curious as to whether you've done anything to the steam, it has a very crisply delineated look.
I did have to to darken the steam with the dodge tool because it was over exposed, the sun not been in the right position to give it the best exposure & the sky was burnt out so I put a graduated filter on in PS that was a first for me but I thought it worked quite well
thanks to all
thanks to all
I like this a lot, Glynnis, the livery on the carriages suggests not just another era but the era before that. Beautifully done.
Super and and composition, love that steam. Great colours. Jeff

The Robert A. Tino Gallery is located off one of the most traveled roads in the southeastern United States, Highway 66 in Sevierville, Tennessee, at the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. Listed on the Register of Historic Places in Tennessee, the two-story antebellum home was built by John Andes in 1844 and has served as the private residence of only two families in its history - the Andes family and the Denton family. Robert's wife, Mary John Denton Tino, is the granddaughter of John H. Denton, the home's second owner. In the 1990's, the home was transformed into an art gallery that could preserve its Tennessee heritage and also showcase the original works, as well as published limited editions, of East Tennessee watercolorist Robert A. Tino.

The UK-born actress, 20, has appeared in the past two seasons of A&E's hit "Bates Motel", as Norman Bates' bestie Emma Decody, who even while burdened with cystic fibrosis and the Oxygen tank that comes with it, manages to be the show's most lovable and optimistic character. Audiences saw her continue the horror groove earlier this year with THE QUIET ONES, in which she played a teenager haunted by malevolent spirits. And now Olivia is facing the unknown once again in THE SIGNAL, the Sundance Film Festival hit which just opened in theaters across the country. In the film, Olivia plays Haley, a character who along with two other friends is abducted by mysterious forces in the middle of the American desert. Safe to say Olivia doesn't mind being creeped out.
I spoke to Olivia about her recent busy schedule these last few years, her proclivity for playing tormented characters, getting her American accent down, and becoming recognizable to the public.
Congrats on your year so far, with THE SIGNAL, THE QUIET ONES and the second season of "Bates Motel." This past year or two must have been incredibly busy.
It really has been crazy, so overwhelming. But I couldn't ask for anything better.
They're all sort of in the thriller/horror genre - you must really enjoy being scared.
It's not really that, it's just these characters I play happen to be in that genre. I feel like I get a lot more to do and a lot more to play with sometimes, I don't necessarily seek out horror or supernatural projects.
THE SIGNAL is really impressive. It's obviously not a big-budget movie, but it sure looks like it cost a lot to make. What was the experience of making it like?
I've only really had the experience of shooting low-budget movies anyway, so they all come with their own problems. With THE SIGNAL, we were battling against temperatures of 100 degrees sometimes. in the desert. There were storms - hail storms, in the middle of June, which is just ridiculous. It comes part and parcel with shooting a low-budget movie, and you just have to go with it, otherwise you're going to lose time, lose your light, and lose your money.
It's a difficult move to discuss without spoiling - has it been tough for you to talk about without ruining surprises?
Yeah, definitely. I just say it's LIKE CRAZY meets THE TERMINATOR. (Laughs) My friends would watch the trailer and say, "I love it, I want to see it, but I have no idea what's happening." When I was reading the script I just felt like I didn't know what would come next. Even when I watched it, I had forgotten some of what happened and I was completely bowled over by what emerged. It's like when you read a book but then you hear it spoken out loud, it resonates on a different level - that's what it was like finally watching it.
Can you hold on for a second? I'm going to a children's hospital to meet a girl who has the same kind of cancer that I have in the movie I'm about to star in.
Oh really? That's interesting. Do you prepare like that often?
I try to do a lot of research when I'm playing a character. Like with Emma on "Bates Motel", I never met anyone with cystic fibrosis, but I tried. But teenagers are sometimes uncomfortable talking about it, which is completely fine, but in this case we found someone who is on board, and the doctor is on board. So it's amazing that they'll be completely fine talking to me about it. I'm looking forward to it.
In addition to the scary movies, it also seems like you're playing a lot of characters with ailments. I hope you're not being typecast.
I know, me too! But I'm really enjoying playing these characters, and the horror and sci-fi genres have really put me on the map, so I'm happy about it.
Because of "Bates Motel", I'm sure you're being recognized a lot more now. What has that aspect of your profession been like?
It's weird. In England, no one knows who I am at all, which is really lovely, but here it's different. Yesterday I was in a social security office with tons of people just minding my own business, and this couple shouted, "Oh my God, are you on Bates Motel?!" And then the guy who was doing my social security looked at me and said, "Oh, now I know where I know you from." (Laughs) When people recognize who you are, they're just generally nicer to you.
You have a ton of fan pages devoted to you: websites, Twitter accounts, Facebook pages. Are you aware of all those?
My friends tell me about it. It's lovely. I see pictures of myself that I've never seen before, and then I think, "That's a bit weird." I'm not on Twitter or anything because I'd like to keep as much of myself as possible.
How do you go about perfecting your American accent, because it's really impressive.
Thank you. In England we grow up watching American TV shows and films. And in Vancouver I have a dialect coach, who is completely awesome. She's the one who taught me how and where to move my mouth, where the sound comes from. She's had to tell me how to say "near" so many times. I would say [uses bad American accent] "near" and she'd say no, it's "near!"
What do you do when you're not busy?
I always say I'm going to learn a language or something. What I do is have a glass of wine, kick off my shoes and stay in my pajamas all day. Just be a general slob.
Just like everybody else!
Yeah! [Laughs)
Thank you for your time, and good luck with everything in the future.
Oh, thank you so much. It was really great talking to you.
THE SIGNAL is out in select theaters now. "Bates Motel" returns in 2015.
