Hello this is sculpture inspired work of nefertiti . I tried to get the rock like effect with pastels and spray technique.
please let me know any improvements needed or any mistakes in it .
This is really good. You nailed the texture! The only thing I can think of is that Nefertiti always had a more stern/serious expression...didn't really smile. But the likeness is close enough not to make the viewer puzzled.
Great job.
thank you for taking your precious time and commenting
The texturing is nice. I think your next step in your personal evolution as an artist is lighting and form. More dramatic lighting would have help to create a more dynamic piece. Here I just made up a light source to produce some nice core and form shadows. Just for kicks added a warm light on the shadow side as well.
Anyway - good stuff.
Happy painting!
My only complaint is the composition. I don't like the placement of the head or the fact that it cuts off. sometimes you have to find the right source materials.
I like the added shadows but I know sometimes it is hard to go back and change something when you feel it is done. The painting looks just fine as it is but light & shadows always make paintings look more real.
Uberzilla, What program did you use to add the shadows?
I also feel the composition unbalanced somehow - kind of needs a color element On the other side, around the corner for example - nice work though!
I really like the texture! Well, done.
Im really impressed with the 'texture' you;ve managed to create her. Nice work.
My Art Portfolio - like or leave me a comment :-)
For this quick demo of what added shadows and lighting affects could do for the piece - I just opened the file in photo shop and used the airbrush tool.
On a real painting I would have used thin washes to achieve the effect. One should never get so attached to a rendering that you are not willing to add to it.
Thank you for the info. I still need to get photo shop on my computer. I am new to painting and really appreciate info like this.
If you are looking for good digital painting programs on the cheap to experiment - I recommend Art Rage - which has a demo - the oil paint tool is excellent. The full program is also cheap. A really decent open source paint program My Paint also has some nice features, and it is free to use. Both work well with Wacom or alternative tablets.

MIAMI BEACH — Money walks. And strides. And even pushes, as it did when the huge metal doors swung open at Art Basel Miami Beach today and several thousand collectors poured into the art fair. Soon enough, developer Aby Rosen was chatting with Larry Gagosian by a Lichtenstein nude, Benedikt Taschen was inquiring about prices for most of the Zwirner booth's works, and Keanu Reeves was drawing a small, neck-turning crowd as he shopped. The Miami Beach Convention Center was so crowded that some dealers from rival fairs closed their booths for the afternoon. "Everybody's here," said Robert Goff, of the buzzy NADA fair, where Steve Cohen and Charles Saatchi are usual shoppers.
Art Basel is expected to attract 40,000 shoppers over five days, and a quick look at its wares shows how radically the art market has changed since last year's event.
In the past, collectors would wander from booth to booth, taking in everything; this year's crowd is more brand-loyal, packing only a handful of booths. Who drew the shoppers? Gagosian (showing Willem de Kooning and Damien Hirst, among others), Deitch Projects (with works ranging from classic James Rosenquist to rising star Kehinde Wiley), and Mitchell-Innes & Nash. Zurich-based gallery Gmurzynska, which often deals in Russian art or to Russian collectors, was packed, too.
The work for sale is classic quality: painting and sculpture by brand-name artists. There was a smattering of good video art but few elaborate installations, almost nothing designed to shock. Sexual imagery isn't so much taboo as old news — this Art Basel is a PG-rated show. Big paintings were big: Wall-eaters, they're called, and they're the mark of a strong art market. Robert Mnuchin's L&M Gallery was offering suite of ten giant Marilyn Monroe prints by Andy Warhol for $1.5 million. (And that's prints, not paintings.) Buyers alternated between haggling for deals and fretting they'd miss out if they waited to purchase.
After a few hours of window shopping — most art isn't cash-and-carry — collectors headed to the "VIP Collectors Lounge," a soothing oasis of white couches, champagne, Caesar salads, and a Bulgari booth. But there was a snag. There are now apparently two levels of VIP passes; both are white on the front but only the more elite one is pale blue on the back. Without the blue backing, there's no Collectors Lounge for you, at least not at prime times like the lunch hour. Silly, yes. But it just made the Caesar salads tastier. —Alexandra Peers
CORRECTION, Dec. 7: A previous version of this post misidentified art-book publisher Benedikt Taschen as Bernard. Also, the earlier version suggesting that VIP tags without blue backing did not allow lounge access; in fact, they allow lounge access during offpeak hours.

Re: Getting in a band with older musicians
When I was younger (20 years back...ish) I was heard drumming up in my bedroom where I lived by a geezer twice my age who knocked on the door and asked if I fancied going 'jamming' with him and his pals.
Turns out these pals were three fellers and a lass who were a Shadows tribute band.
If i'd known that beforehand there would have been no way I would have turned up (The Shadows !!!!! Jeeeeezus)....
But I played in that band for about a year until college got to demanding and really enjoyed it. Just jamming..I was already in another band....these guys never intended gigging....it was just a Sunday afternoon hobby for them which fit basically into my schedule.
It opened my mind, brought maturity to my attitude (they were very professional), and introduced me to a genre of music which I really grew to love.
Don't regret a second of it (other then that first moment when they turned to me, having just set my kit up, and said "right...apache then".....hahaha
I lost my bag at Newport Pagnell.....

It's pretty refreshing
It's pretty refreshing to see all the rumors and conjecture put to rest -- someone finally stopped talking about it and hired Gruden to be a head coach somewhere.Of course, the Redskins aren't hiring Jon Gruden – that guy will still be saying "that guy" on Monday Night Football, as far as I know. But his little brother, Jay Gruden, agreed to become the 28th coach of the Washington Redskins on Thursday morning.Gruden has earned league-notoriety as the offensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals in recent seasons. He got there in 2011, Cheap custom NFL Cowboys jerseys,the same year the Bengals drafted A.J. Green and Andy Dalton.Now, say what you will about Dalton. Better yet, let the tape of last weekend's playoff loss to San Diego say it for you. You can't deny Gruden helped get the young quarterback and the Bengals' offense humming, though.Cincinnati jumped from 20th in overall offense and 20th in passing offense in Gruden's first season to 10th overall and eighth in passing this past season. The Bengals passed for roughly 260 yards per game this season, and Dalton finished with 33 touchdowns – third in the league.It's also worth pointing out that Gruden oversaw the development of one of the league's top young talents at receiver in Green, which I wrote about yesterday.It makes sense the Redskins would go with an offensive guy in the wake of the 3-13 cliff they fell off of in 2013. Cheap Cowboys Jerseys for sale,It's not that Washington struggled offensively, as their No. 5 ground game helped them finish ninth in the league in total offense.But given the soap opera that surrounded that team, most notably the injury and benching of Robert Griffin III, the Redskins need to find a firm direction for their offense and their franchise quarterback. Gruden's specialty is quarterback – he played the position and won an Arena League MVP.The easy and funny argument is that Dalton was also among the league leaders in interceptions in his third year with Gruden. And again, you can mention his three-turnover day that sparked the 17-point playoff loss to San Diego.Washington is also without the No. 2 overall draft pick it would typically receive for its abysmal finish, Nike Cowboys throwback jerseys,as the Redskins traded that to St. Louis in their 2012 trade to nab Griffin.All of that seems pretty daunting for a coach who has been an NFL coordinator just three seasons. Gruden's only other NFL experience came as an assistant on his brother's staff in Tampa Bay.But again, this is about Griffin. If Gruden can smooth over the ills of the past year in Washington and re-discover Griffin's abilities – particularly as a passer – then the Redskins should have chance to compete.hot sale dallas cowboys jerseys,Gruden has shown he can get production out of one young quarterback.NFL dallas cowboys football jerseys, He might not have been able to get him over the hump in the playoffs. But that's a problem the Redskins would be happy to tackle, buy dallas cowboys 4x jersey,as it means they'd be winning again.Ok – that's technically because it was. Jackson's comments about being deserving of a new contract hit the airwaves just this week, Buy Size 4XL Cowboys jerseys,in the wake of Philadelphia's 26-24 playoff loss to New Orleans. Prior to that, though, it had only been two years since Jackson's latest hub-bub about money – the one that led to a holdout in 2011.I'm not really interested in dissecting Jackson's worth as a receiver, Cowboys thanksgiving jerseys,especially since he has recently backtracked on his comments about wanting a new contract. He is currently playing out the ninth-most valuable receiver contract in the NFL, worth a grand total of $48.5 million over five years.It does raise some pertinent questions for the Cowboys, however – particularly about that big dude wearing No. 88, who is due for a payday in the near future.Dez Bryant's rookie contract is set to expire after the 2014 season. Popular opinion would have the Cowboys re-sign him this offseason, assuming they can afford it, and avoid the risk of letting him hit the open market.That would be an incredibly smart decision, in my opinion, just as a measure of securing the team's best offensive weapon for the longterm. But the Cowboys are doubtful to save any money on Dez if Jackson's 82-catch, 1300-yard season is enough to warrant a bigger contract.The rest of the top 10 has produced some stunningly inconsistent earners. The Cowboys themselves boast one of them. Miles Austin is currently playing out a contract worth $54.1 million, despite tallying just 90 catches for 1,187 yards and six touchdowns in the past two seasons.Percy Harvin, Dallas Cowboys football jerseys,currently playing on the fourth-most valuable contract at the position, has managed 150 catches for 1,660 yards and nine touchdowns since 2011. He has caught just one pass for 17 yards since Minnesota traded him to Seattle ahead of the 2013 season, though he could still potentially play in this postseason.Now, let's take a look at Dez, who is facing the last season of the five-year, $11.8 million deal he signed when the Cowboys drafted him at the tail end of the first round in 2010.In the last two seasons alone, Dez has tallied 185 catches for 2,615 yards and a whopping 25 touchdowns. And, it's worth pointing out, he's done this for a middling NFL team.

Falmouth board: Super Walmart plans fall short
FALMOUTH — The Planning Board on Tuesday told Walmart the retailer's plans for a Super Walmart store have to be revised.
The board tabled a site plan for the store at 206 Route 1, citing several conflicts with town ordinances.
Under the site plan, an existing 92,000-square-foot store would grow to 118,000 square feet, with a 6,000-square-foot garden center. In addition to razing a Regal Cinemas building and expanding into that footprint, the plans include an extension on the back of the existing store.
The plans trigger the town's Route 1 and Village Center design guidelines, including limits on sign size and requirements for landscape design. Board members and town staff indicated that plans presented Tuesday did not meet all those standards.
"I don't feel the issues we brought up at the sketch plan review were addressed in the new submissions," Planning Board Chairman Bill Lunt said during Tuesday's meeting. "I think the board made it pretty clear how it felt on the issue."
Members of the board expressed concerns about the landscaping, building architecture and lighting.
Two members of the public spoke during Tuesday's meeting.
Bob Taylor, representing the Tidewater Farms Association board of directors, raised several issues, including traffic flow and landscaping.
"What's actually happening is that Clearwater (Drive) is evolving as a major thoroughfare and will continue to do so," Taylor said. "It's very unusual we would see so many egresses and access points. We would like you to take a hard look at that."
The existing store has at least seven parking lot driveways, including some through neighboring business parking lots, which exceeds what is allowed under the ordinance.
Town Councilor Bonny Rodden also spoke, addressing the store's plans to move a METRO bus stop to Clearwater Drive, and potential traffic issues along Route 1.
"The bus stop is a full football field away from the entrance to Walmart. There are a number of people riding the bus who cannot walk well," Rodden said. "As far as METRO is concerned, it's just not safe for our riders and it's not appropriate."
Rodden suggested moving the bus stop closer to the entrance to the store, because many bus riders are Walmart employees or customers.
Aaron Shaw, of Sewell Co., which is working for Walmart, said the company has liability concerns about the bus stop on its property, and that it is working with METRO to satisfy everyone.
Walmart has also applied for a waiver to build only 569 parking spaces, instead of the 621 that would be required, citing "historic under-utilization of the parking lot," according to Planning Board documents.
The company included plans for a 30-foot pylon sign in front of the new building. The town's design guidelines would allow a 16-foot sign.
The plans also request a 298-foot wall sign. The store's current sign is already in violation of town ordinances, according to Senior Town Planner Ethan Croce. The town's ordinances allow a maximum of 100 feet for a wall sign.
Croce's agenda notes indicated that Walmart will have to apply for Board of Zoning Appeals approval for the existing non-conforming sign.
"The size of the current sign will, in any event, not be allowed to be exceeded," Croce said in the agenda documents.
Walmart representatives indicated Tuesday night they would be working with town staff to address the sign issues, landscaping, lighting and curb-cuts, for a future site plan review.

What I meant to say up there was that in past elections I thought that The Repub, rather than endorsing a candidate in a race, chose to not endorse anyone because the choices in that particular race were so bad. Off to research.
I seem to remember that the Republican has decided to not endorse any candidate in a particular race, but maybe I'm wrong.

Granville Little Theatre presents 'The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
Rehearsals are wrapping up for Granville Little Theatre's production of 'The Best Christmas Pageant Ever,' directed by DL Page, Jr. with Geoff Tanthorey assisting. The story will be narrated by Courtney Ewing (as Beth Bradley).
The worst kids in the whole history of the world — The Herdmans — Ralph (by Dillon Clayton), Imogene (Danielle Keeton), Leroy (Adam Brotherton), Claude (Taylor White), Ollie (Jackson Hopper), and Gladys (Kensington Norfleet) – are notorious delinquents in their community. Beth's brother, Charlie (Logan Harrison), unwisely lies to Leroy Herdman which leads to all six of the Herdmans showing up at church the next Sunday for the first time in their lives.
Beth's mother (Nikki Peters) is put in charge of the Christmas pageant when the original leader, Mrs. Helen Armstrong (Karen Brown) suffers a broken leg. The Herdmans volunteer (threaten) their way into all six of the main roles. However, in spite of them, the show turns into a success.
Showings are scheduled for Thursday-Saturday, at 7:30 p.m. nightly, and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the door and will cost $10 for adults, $8 for seniors/students, and $5 for children 5 and under.

Judge considering delaying Ft Hood suspect's trial
FORT HOOD, Texas - A military judge is considering a four-month delay to the murder trial for the Army psychiatrist charged in the Fort Hood shooting rampage.
Maj. Nidal Hasan's attorneys on Thursday asked for a July trial. They say they still don't have all the evidence.
Hasan is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder. He faces the death penalty or life without parole if convicted in the November 2009 shootings at the Texas Army post.
But prosecutors say one defense expert was hired nearly two years ago and doesn't need more time to prepare. The trial is set for March.
The 41-year-old Hasan remains jailed. He's paralyzed from the waist down after being shot by police the day of the rampage.

Cleopatra, the beautiful Egyptian queen was known for her radiant skin. Her secret? Milk.
What are the benefits to milk as a skincare ingredient?
The lactic acid in milk is an alpha hydroxy acid, a natural material that dissolves the elements that hold dead skin cells together. Milk cleanses the skin down to its deepest layers, while soothing and nourishing the skin. It helps alleviate redness and calms irritated skin. It hydrates and provides gentle, skin-renewing exfoliation. Lactic acid in milk exfoliates gently and is a good source of vitamins A and D to your skin complexion. Whole milk is a powerful soothing agent for dry, itchy skin and takes the sting out of minor burns and rashes. Washing your face regularly with milk or adding it to the water you bathe in removes face wrinkles and lightens skin tone. It also softens skin and increases its elasticity.
How can I use milk in my skincare routines?
- A clean start – Remove excess dirt by adding a few drops of sweet almond oil to a tablespoon of whole milk. Using sterile cotton, gently dab milk and oil mixture onto the face, then remove with a fresh piece of cotton. Rinse thoroughly, removing all traces of the milk to prevent the growth of bacteria.
- A scrubby mix – Mix 1 teaspoon powdered skim milk with 1 teaspoon honey, add a few drops of fresh lemon juice. Gently massage face with this mixture. Rinse later.
- It's a mask – Mix a quarter of a glass of sour milk with a spoonful of oatmeal to form a paste. Place it between two layers of cheesecloth and keep it on your face for a while. This mask is highly efficient for freckles, greasy skin and pigmented spots.
- Mask it again – Mix equal proportions of cottage cheese, olive oil, milk and carrot. Apply this mixture on the face for some minutes. Wash off with warm water.
- The Cleopatra way – Add 2 drops of lavender oil, 1 tablespoon honey along with 2 tablespoons of whole milk powder or a cup of whole milk to a warm bath. Soak yourself in it as long as possible and shower away any remains.
Tell us your Cleopatra story! We may feature you on our blog!


text: Things have been looking pretty bleak for Motorola and its attempts to salvage its handset division for some time now, but a number of analysts are now painting an even clearer picture of just how bad things might be. According to BusinessWeek, some analysts are saying that with spin-off plans looking less and less likely, Motorola may revert back to its original plan to sell off the handset division outright, although Envisioneering Group's Richard Doherty says it "would be lucky to fetch $500 million." As BusinessWeek points out, that very same analyst pegged the business at a hefty $8 billion just last year. Analyst Richard Windsor of Nomura even went so far as to say that Motorola might actually have to pay someone to take the division off its hands. Now that's an idea we can get behind.[Via Unwired View]

Israel and Harman in Tandem: From High Seas to Airwaves
Norman Solomon: When Israel attacked the Gaza aid flotilla, Congresswoman Jane Harman was engaged in a parallel assault. Israel's government relied on the efficacy of violence; Harman's campaign was counting on the power of paid media. In both cases, the targets were advocates of human rights for Palestinian people.
Harman vs. Winograd: The Last Democratic Primary Worth Watching
Jeffrey Blankfort What may be the last Democratic primary race worth paying attention to is taking place in the 36th Congressional District along the Southern California coastline where incumbent Jane Harman is facing a serious challenge from Los Angeles school teacher, Marcy Winograd, with the candidates' widely separated positions on the Israel-Palestine conflict dominating a critical section of the political landscape.

I have been here three times, and each time the food has been great. Fresh, authentic middle-eastern food. The cocktails are really good too. Kind of inconspicuous from the outside, but very nice lounge-y atmosphere inside. I will definitely be going back!

Dinig at ilili was a great experience. We got to the restaurant early and had a drink at the bar. The bartenders were friendly and helped us decide on drinks and then even went over things on the menu. They gave us ideas on what to order and even though I wouldn't necessarily have ordered these items we did. They really knew what they were talking about because the food was amazing. Our waiter was just as friendly and they even had a sommelier to tell us about the wines they had on special that evening. The restaurant was more trendy than I had expected, but in a good way. I loved the atmosphere and will definitely be going back! Oh - and if you go there for brunch/lunch, I would suggest the bloody martini! So tasty!!

I was very impressed with the quality, portions and flavors of the food. My dining partner and I are both discriminant Middle Eastern foodies and were shocked to find authentic Lebanese cuisine in this neighborhood. One negative-- the server spilled water all over the table and me, and his reaction was "Sh*t...uh, sorry." It was hilarious, but completely unfiltered.
Posted by Anonymous on 08/07/2009
My friends and I tried ilili out for restauarant week and loved it. The food was amazing. Our server Vanessa was so helpful, quick, and organzied. The sommelier was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. If you're looking for a fun night out with friends or a date night, this place is perfect!

Elegant and dicreet Lebanese restaurant. Great foot, impressive list of wines, sympathetic and competent staff. In short, very pleasant experience.
Posted by anonymous on 07/27/2009
we were a table of 7. we could not hear each other unless we were shouting. this included the person sitting next to me. the price fixed menu was very good. the food was very good although the portions were small. the service was okay but not overly attentive. since we ordered 3 bottles of very expensive wine and they added on 20% tip due to the number of people at the table, the waitstaff should have been better.
Posted by mcooks on 07/07/2009
Have now enjoyed about 5 lunches there and todays just was perfect! A cold strawberry mint tea, the great funky ice cream, and in between a choice assortment of mezze. Hearty in the cold weather but even better in the summer. Keep up the good work!

Oxford welcomes 44 teams to N.C. GameOn Sports World Series
For many AAU teams around the state, a N.C. GameOn Sports World Series title is the ultimate prize of the summer.
Oxford is hosting the event for the second consecutive year, welcoming 44 teams in five different age groups (8-13) to the fields at Granville Athletic Park and Oxford Park.
Festivities kicked off Wednesday with a skills competition followed by opening ceremonies. Play begins today before the tourney wraps up on Sunday.
Head coach Shawn Freeman brought his 8-and-under Davidson County Bomb Squad team from Lexington. The orange-and-black clad squad has won eight of the nine tournaments it has entered this summer and claimed a winter World Series title in November.
"This is the culmination for the 8-year-olds," said Freeman. "It's the big tournament of the year. It's the summer World Series."
Bomb Squad members competed in the individual skills competition Wednesday. The competitions, held for each age group, included a race around the bases, an accuracy throw and a home run derby.
"It's awesome so far," said Freeman. "The kids enjoy the opportunity to compete in the skills competition. Even if they are only 8-years-old."
Freeman is confident his team can win the tournament if they play their game. The 8-year-old division has 10 teams, six of which are based in Wake County.
"I don't discount my kids," said Freeman. "We've won 95 percent of the tournaments we've played. They're ready."
Teams like the 11-and-under Rebels of Roxboro aren't quite as battle tested. Chad Vaughn's bunch started playing together last fall and have mostly entered competitions near Person County.
"Just the baseball and the kids," said Vaughn. "That's really what brings us here. Wherever the sports are, that's where we want to be."
The Rebels are one of six teams in the 11-and-under division.
"It's pretty much all equaled out as far as our age group," Vaughn said of the competition. "It's anybody's game."
The Rebels will compete against the Oxford Dirt Bags, one of three area teams competing in the World Series. The Oxford Wildcats are in the 12-and-under division along with the Carolina Thunder, another Oxford-based team.
Dale Edwards' Thunder squad is an 11-and-under team, but will be competing in the 12-and-under age group. The team has posted a 36-8 record over 12 tournaments.
"Our focus is to be competitive," said Edwards. "Even with the older, bigger boys. As long as we're competitive. If we leave here .500, we consider that a good weekend considering we're 11U playing 12."
Edwards' players hail from nine different towns and six counties.
With the AAU summer season ending Aug. 1, this is the final competition for most teams.
"It brings you a wide variety of people to see and kids to see," said Edwards. "It lets you see different coaching styles and playing styles or how other kids play the game. It's really neat to see a variety of competition."
The competition starts today at 1 p.m. with the last round of games scheduled for 8 p.m.
N.C. GameOn Sports, based in Mocksville, started playing AAU tournaments in Oxford in the fall of 2009.
William Brown, assistant director for N.C. GameOn Sports, said he expects the World Series summer tournament to remain in Oxford.
"We've worked well with Oxford," said Brown, a Creedmoor resident. "They've been a great group to work with. It's been a real good partnership."

Analysis has an important and central role in mathematics, so a course in analysis is usually required for students in several branches of the sciences, including mathematics, statistics, and economics. The present book is concise but introduces in detail important and fundamental concepts of analysis on the real line. This book covers the standard topics in undergraduate analysis and prepares the reader to study analysis on abstract spaces.
The book starts with fundamental concepts such as sets, real numbers and functions. The second chapter is about numerical sequences and the third one studies numerical series. The next chapter is about limits and continuity, and the following ones study theories of differentiation and integration of the functions. The last chapter studies the sequences and series of functions.
A remarkable part of the book consists of several good exercises, which are very suitable for students to work on. A number of exercises are indeed theorems and main facts, many of them are facts to prove, and only a few of them are computational. Short hints for selected exercises are given at the end of the book.
Since the book studies the concepts only on the real line, to read it a background in one variable calculus seems to be enough. The style is educational, brief, and not boring for beginners. Hence, the book is suitable for a first course in analysis.

I've noticed the herd mentality is becoming popular when it comes to Indian startups. Let me explain what I mean.
One startup enters a particular domain with all fan fare and great buzz. Within no time you'll come across news about 2-3 more startups launching in the same domain. Plenty of examples to illustrate my point:
1) Seventymm was the first entrant into the online DVD rental market. Suddenly you have Madhouse, CatchFlix, ClixFlix and several others who follow suit (For crying out loud, you dont have these many players in the US too)
2) Video Sharing for India – I dont know which one launched first. But within no time, you have AapKaVideo, MeraVideo, ApnaTube, VideoDubba
3) Shaadi.com came first. Then there was BharatMatrimony, JeevanSaathi, Badhai, MeraSathi, timesmatri
4) There's indimoto, Carwale, automartIndia, AutoIndia, IndiaAutoMall (again – unsure which came first)
5) MakeMyTrip came first. Then came a D-E-L-U-G-E : Yatra, TravelGuru, ClearTrip, FlightRaja, Arzoo and numerous others
6) Picsquare was first. MeraSnap, PhotoJagat, PhotoMasti, iTasveer, SnapGalaxy quickly followed suit
7) Fropper and Orkut struck first. The next morning you read about Yaari, iBibo, MingleBox, Jhoom, SaffronConnect
8) There's HumDigg, IndianBytes, NewsCola, PutVote, IndianPad, IndiaMarks (unsure which was first)
Is this healthy for the Indian startup scene ? Is this a good phenomena ? Is the Indian startup scene lacking originality and innovation (Not to take away anything from the numerous innovative ones out there) ? One can argue that some of these markets have room for more than one player. Also, considering that majority of the sites listed above are in their infancy, the market will evolve and only the fittest will survive.
I'd like to hear what everyone has to say about this 'herd mentality'. I'm planning to do a follow up post to this sometime later this week.
Note: If you find any of the links above are broken, please feel free to point it out. Also, I havent intentionally left out the other players in their respective segments.

Jan. 30, 2009
By Bob Vazquez, Assistant Athletic Director (Media Relations)
Santa Barbara, Ca. - Vincent Cordell - please step forward.
Cordell earned his first start of the 2008-09 season, and the evening ended when the junior forward from Huntsville, Alabama, scored on a layup with eleven seconds to play to lift the Cal State Northridge men's basketball team to a highly dramatic 72-70 road win at UC Santa Barbara in a Big West game that was seen nationally on ESPNU.
Cordell added a season-high seven rebounds on an evening that head coach Bobby Braswell praised the Matadors for its passion, intensity, and the will to win a tough game in a tough environment, UCSB's home court, the Thunderdome.
"I'm really proud of the team," said Braswell. "To lose Rob (Haynes) in the first two minutes of the game, and not having Deon (Tresvant), you're taking around 30 points a game. But the team really fought and clawed its way to victory. We hung in there, and the guys off the bench really stepped up."
Haynes, who entered the game averaging 10.7 ppg, and shooting .515 from the floor, collided with a UCSB player at the 18:12 mark of the first half and fell to the floor. Haynes suffered a concussion and a cut lip and was taken to a nearby hospital for observation.
With Haynes out of the game, the Matador bench picked up the slack, and performed like champions.
"When you have players who are out, like Rob Haynes, you have to step up," said Josh Jenkins, who passed the ball to Cordell for the winning hoop. "When Rob got hurt, I just looked at the bench to see who would step up. Matthew Wallace came in and added a key three-pointer in the first half, and others like Rodrigue Mels came off the bench to score 13 points. We knew that with Rob out, a lot more minutes were going to be coming the team's way. Everybody stepped up."
Braswell sensed that although the team was playing in a difficult road environment, and was missing two of its top players (Rob Haynes and Deon Tresvant), the adversity fueled the team's intensity to a fever pitch.
"This was an emotional game," said Braswell. "The team played with a lot energy in a very physical game. I'm really proud of the effort, especially defensively. The thing that impressed me most was when we in the huddle during timeouts. The guys kept saying `defense, defense. We need a stop. Let's get a stop.'
After Cordell's layup put the Matadors in front, 72-70, the Gauchos still had a chance to either tie or win the game with eleven seconds to play. However, the Matadors defense snuffed out any chance that UCSB entertained.
"I think the defensive stop at the end was huge," said Braswell. "I told them this is what Northridge defense is all about."
The Gauchos were only able get one shot at the basket, a three-point attempt, in the final eleven seconds.
Cordell said he was thankful he had a chance to contribute to the team's eighth of the victory of the season.
"This was a big game for the team," said Cordell. "I just wanted to come out with a lot of energy. It gave me a lot of confidence that I had the opportunity to start. I wanted to start the game by getting a lot of rebounds, and I had the opportunity to make the winning basket."
Braswell also praised the Cordell's effort, especially his pressure shot to win the game.
"Vincent hasn't played a lot this year," said Braswell. "But I told him to be ready, and Josh (Jenkins) executed the play perfectly. Josh made a great pass. Vincent had to finish the play, and he did."
This was a game that saw the lead change hands eight times, and the score tied six times.
Jenkins recorded his third straight double-digit performance with 13 points (7-for-7 from the free throw line) along with five assists in 25 minutes of play. Kenny Daniels led the Matadors with 14 points (5-for-6 from the floor) along with five rebounds and two steals. Tremaine Townsend and Rodrigue Mels each chipped in with 13 points.
Townsend led CSUN rebounders with nine. That is now five straight games in which Townsend has led the Matadors in rebounding.
Cal State Northridge held the Gauchos to only .415 shooting (22-for-53) and out rebounded UCSB, 40-32.
The Matadors (8-10 overall, 5-3 Big West) move on to Cal Poly for Big West contest on Saturday, January 31. Game time is 6:00 p.m. The Matadors will be trying to sweep the UCSB/Cal Poly road trip for a second straight season.
The CSUN-Cal Poly game will be televised live on Fox Sports Prime Ticket. Paul Sunderlund and Michael Cage will provide the broadcast chores.
Cal State Northridge, at 5-3 in the Big West, is in sole possession of second place, one-half game back of first place Long Beach State.
Matador Memo ...
It apparently pays to play road conference games ... In other action on Thursday night in the Big West, Cal State Fullerton scored a 61-60 decision at Long Beach State, and UC Irvine recorded a 71-66 road win at UC Riverside ... In addition to CSUN's 72-70 road win at UCSB, road teams, thus far, in conference play have chalked up a 19-14 record ... Rob Haynes and ESPN announcer and former University of Arizona standout Miles Simon have something in common ... Both enjoyed success on the court at Mater Dei High School ... Simon, who offered color commentary on the CSUN-UCSB game on ESPNU, helped lead the Wildcats to the NCAA championship in 1997, while Haynes, a 2004 graduate of Mater Dei, has etched his name into the Top 10 in several three-point categories in the Matador record book, and is enjoying his finest season at CSUN in 2008-09 ... At practice on Wednesday night, Haynes and Simon exchanged several stories about their successes at Mater Dei ... Before Haynes left the game at UCSB with a concussion at the 18:12 mark of the first half, the senior hit a three-pointer, the 17th straight game in which he has hit at least one 3-pointer.

Noted food author Michael Pollan gives some simple advice: Don't eat anything your great-great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food. But making food choices in 2013 isn't always that easy. Our grocery store shelves are filled with hundreds of kinds of processed food, overwhelming us with promises of 'dinner in minutes' and 'now vitamin-fortified!' What exactly is in our processed food - and how did we go from our great-grandmother's dinner plate to ours?

i find this to be the go to place for sushi in the neighborhood. sushi and sashimi are the highlights, everything else is not so special. service is good, ambiance is nothing to talk about, but thats how i'd like to keep it otherwise they'd be more expensive.
Posted by Mickey on 08/04/2012
I have eaten here a few times and have never been disappointed. The staff is very friendly and the menu has a number of very unique sushi rolls. Def try the special rolls. The presentation is also beautiful. There is a very nice outdoor garden as well.
Posted by j kox on 03/11/2012
So much better than the rest of the options in the neighbourhood. I wish the atmosphere was a little better, but regardless, it's a great find.
Posted by Jay on 01/04/2012
A good, basic sushi restaurant. Everything always seems fresh, and it's a good place to get delivery from. I recommend the yellowtail tartar appetizer, its very tasty!
Posted by anonymous on 12/19/2011
Really bad sushi. Tastes like mush not fresh at all.
Posted by Fiona Bloom on 03/30/2011
Our favorite neighborhood sushi. Friendly service, fresh food and nice atmosphere for eat in. A staple for days when we're too busy to cook.
Posted by anonymous on 09/17/2010
Go for the sushi and sashimi, the fish is so fresh and good. They also have some unique and amazingly tasty dishes like the spicy tartar sampler—really memorable. Definitely worth a trip.

The Romney campaigns terrible calculations just enforce the reality that they would've made a terrible administration, basing actions on gut feelings rather than facts. Thank God Obama won.
they quietly released 60 minute video of liar Obama.
2012-2016....not Bush's fault!
All Obama's fault!
Totally agree!
There was an avalance on Bullshit Mountain.
he's been running for president his whole life.
The economy is going to be soo good in 2016 that Clinton will defeat Bush in the presidential election.
Billy Bush?
That article is garbage. Advocating -5% interest rates...just wow.
I guess this "journalist" forgot that Volcker jacked up interest rates prior to cutting them.
Very true. The House and Senate will share absolutely no blame...
i think Mitt thought that the more large states he won meant he was ahead. Nobody told him that there are no voters living in the states he won and it's headcount not square footage that matters.
Mitt was listening to Rush Limbaugh and assumed the God of radio was spot on with his assumptions of saying that the polls that had been coming out were wrong and controlled by the liberal media and they were fluffing the numbers for Obama.

What the Cuban Missile Crisis Teaches Us About Iran
Matthew C. Waxman argues that international law still plays a powerful role in justifying or delegitimizing the case for military action. Just like in the Cuban missile crisis, the United States needs to present a plausible case for self-defense in order to strike Iran.

So things are going pretty well for Lena Dunham, si? Her show Girls scored five Emmy noms, including one for Lead Actress for Lena. So, big check to the professional life. The personal life's going pretty damn well too since she's dating Fun. guitarist Jack Antonoff. It's basically hipster heaven even though "they're trying to keep it a secret," says a source. So she's feeling happy and confident and all la-la-la with the world — what better time is there than now to experiment with her look? That's exactly what Lena did on Saturday when she tweeted a photograph — see on the right — of her newly-boyish 'do, writing, "I Miley'd the sh– out of this Saturday." She's referring to Miley's dramatic new haircut, obvs. She told Fashionista about what inspired the cut, while checking out Rachel Antonoff's spring presentation at New York Fashion Week, where the picture on the left was taken. She revealed, "I did it this morning! I finished shooting, and I just had this moment where I thought that I could be … You know you always sort of dream you could be that girl who makes that radical choice, and [then you] look at your reflection on the subway and be like, 'I kind of look like a boy. Whatever, it's cool.' So, I am embarrassed to say because it sounds so trite, but I looked at a picture of Carey Mulligan and then just went for it, but no one is doing it better than her so why not?"

A Milestone
Posted 13 January 2012 - 11:11 AM
I was diagnosed less than 2 weeks ago, 1/3/12 to be exact. Immediately Gluten free, no slip ups yet. Gonna get a little personal here, hope you do not mind, but this has been sticking in my head for 2 days now and I have to talk about it somewhere that people will not look at me like I am crazy.
After a meal, usually dinner, if my husband had to use the bathroom he would say to me "I have to use the bathroom do you need to go in first?" (him knowing that I ALWAYS had to go after a meal and him being a man meaning he could spend an hour in there ). I was standing in the hallway talking to my daughter. My husband walked by and asked the question I have heard dozens of times over the past several years. I paused, looked at him and said "No." After another few seconds I looked at my daughter, smiled and said "Wow! It felt great to say that and really mean it!" I almost cried.
Thanks for listening I have been thinking about this moment and a few others like it for the past couple of days. Makes all of the label reading and day dreams of foods that are now off limits really, really worth it!

After a meal I thought that I had to run to the restroom shortly thereafter because:
1) Everyone does that. Isn't that normal?
2) I ate too much. (Doctors always indicated that my stomach wouldn't hurt if I wasn't overweight).
Rolling on the bathroom floor in pain was normal, right?

Well then I have to say I'd much rather see just mods.
Amplifiers will now just be a grind to the most optimal stats so you can stay competitive and by selecting a particular Set you pigeon hole yourself into that build for that game.
Mods however if done right seem like they could be something new and awesome.
Bad form.
An amplifier system similar to league's rune system would provide for an additional level of customization, an additional level of player progression, and ultimately a great incentive for people to keep playing the game. All good things.
The costs of these amplifiers and the amount of merit we earn per game are all subject to change up to and even after release. There is no information to suggest that an amplifier or page will cost anywhere near the price of a new champ. You have absolutely no basis for this claim.Originally Posted by qw0r7y
I think you and I have very different points of view when it comes to progression in a game. I don't expect to be handed everything on a silver platter, and I wouldn't enjoy it as much if it was.
As I said before, I'm really looking forward to trying out the amplifier system, and judging by the contents of the thread you posted, I'm clearly not the only one.
Team A doesn't want to scrim, they still don't have amplifier pages.
Team B wants to switch over to IC from Dawngate, sees they all need to grind out powers, amplifiers, and champions, and decide against it.
Team C wants to scrim an EU team, but has no champions, powers, and now ******, unoptimized amplifier pages.
Please, you guys need to reconsider this version of amplifiers. It's clear you put a lot of work into this system, and other than the process of obtaining them, everyone seems ok with this system.
But please, please, don't put ANOTHER treadmill in.
I warned you that this would cause a major backlash, I really want this game to succeed, as like i said people prefer no boosts from anything other then in-game or it will cause a confusion of "P2W" even if it isn't.
this makes pie a sad cat
While I love the idea of Item Amplifiers, I'm not so much a fan of the need for Amplifiers overall.
I suppose for me it all depends on implementation. Too many amps that you have to unlock, and with merit, and the game will draw too many parallels to lol. That, imo, is the most damning aspect.
With so many other innovations (unique stolen powers, Relay based buffs on CC), I feel like this is a little too much like 'the competition', save the Item amps.

No sir, I do not like it
And who on earth thought runes which ware ONLY obtainable with winnable currency were pay-to-win? Again, not once did I hear this complaint while playing league.

Boone ready for final act as a Knight
HUNTINGTON -- Nick Boone has the chance to make a memorable senior year even more memorable.
Boone played linebacker for the Cabell Midland High School football team and helped the Knights go undefeated in the regular season and take a Class AAA No. 1 state rating into the playoffs. No. 2 Martinsburg stopped Cabell Midland in the finals, 38-14.
A knee injury suffered in the championship game delayed Boone's arrival on the Cabell Midland wrestling team. He missed the match against Huntington High and returned in style at the Winner's Choice in Fairmont (Jan. 11-12) where he won the 170-pound title to start the season with a 10-0 record.
Boone has maintained that pace entering the West Virginia State High School Wrestling Tournament that begins Thursday in Big Sandy Superstore Arena. His latest conquest was winning the Class AAA, Region IV title Saturday with a 2-0 overtime win over Trevor Hill of Point Pleasant.
The regional championship gives Boone one final shot at a state championship. He finished fifth as a freshman and sophomore and was the runner-up last year at 160 pounds.
"I get to go for another one," Boone said after his match Saturday at Cabell Midland which marked his final home appearance. "It was a fun ride in football, a nice feeling. Martinsburg was not fun.
"I've given myself another chance. Four matches away. I've got to leave it all out there."
The 66th state tournament features Parkersburg South seeking a record fifth consecutive AAA title. The Class AA/A title is open since Point Pleasant, which won the last three years, moved up to AAA.
Boone (23-1) had been ranked No. 1 at 170 in the West Virginia Coaches Association rankings. However, a loss to Parkersburg South's Drake Mills on Jan. 31 helped propel Mills to the top spot. Boone is No. 2 and Hill No. 3.
"You don't worry about the rankings," Boone said. "It's all decided on the mat."
Boone said the late start had its good and bad points. He was supposed to be out four to six weeks, but made it back in three.
"The plus is you're not all banged up," he said. "The minus is you're not on the mat a lot. That makes a lot of difference."
Ian Semelroth, first-year Knights coach, said Boone has made his mark since his return.
"He's been a lot better of late," Semelroth said. "He's moving better. I hope he can carry it all the way. He's definitely motivated."
The Knights had nine wrestlers qualify for the state.
"After losses, the kids came back and wrestled hard," Semelroth said. "They didn't get down."
Boone's match against Hill went much like the first one. They were tied 0-0 after three periods and needed overtime. Boone got the takedown late in the one-minute OT.
"It's a nice feeling to add another one and go out this way (at home)," he said. "It's a stepping stone to the state."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 151,000overall rating 9 of 10rating details
Pros: "Cars a luxury brand car"
Cons: "Car has luxury brand car repair cost"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 8
"It was my idea that Lincoln Continental is a luxury brand car. I bought this 1998 Continental in 2002 for around $13,000. In December 2014, the Lincoln dealership advised me I have spent, with them, in repairs, over the period of time of my ownership, over $16,000 in repairs. That's an average of $1,300 per year or an avg. or $108 per month for repair/maintenance and this included the monthly payment. Now cost aside, car needing expensive repairs aside, I am lovin' me this car. Let's talk about driving. It has a ride adjustability system which means it adjusts the height the car to assure the smoothness of the drive. This car was built for long drives. Let's talk performance. Eight cylinders work for performance of the car. this means two things, a lot of gas used and there is absolutely no need to sit behind any car on the road. This car is as fast as any on the road when it gets up to speed. Once its sails fill with wind it's a serious mover, but when you have open road, man it's almost like heaven, I never been to heaven but if I could drive this car there I would. The car's electronics are serious. The car will tell you when you need to attend to it, Low on oil, it will tell you, rear light out, it will tell you. I have put nothing but Michelin's on this car, if you put cheap tires on this car you absolutely will disrupt the ecosystem of the car. There are sensors everywhere. If your tires fall below a certain pressure it affects the entire road driveability calculations, this will cause you problems. I have read about these problems. Now for the interior. driving the car is very comfortable. It has the seat adjust that goes up, down, back, forward, tilt up, tilt down, your seat back, goes forward or back, for your comfort. One problem here is that if someone else adjusts the seat for their comfort, like a mechanic, then the car remembers, and sometimes it will adjust the seat away from what your setting is and that's a little annoying. The air condition system is great, in the summer heat it is pretty good and in the winter heater keeps you warm, I live in N. Jersey so you might have heard of the weather we've had especially in the winter. I suppose SUV's are best in heavy snow, but Lincoln handles heavy duty snow like a champ, never been stranded stuck in snow. This is a big car it does not slide when the tire's gripping. Great visibility, driving steering great, car's a pleasure to drive. I am lucky to still be driving it. Right now here's the best part, I have fixed most of the major problems that can go wrong with the car, so now an oil change every 3 to 4 thousand miles and that is it. I actually have gone 12+ months without a major repair, major repair defined as $500+ cost. So now I see everybody has new cars, beautiful to look at and probably great to drive. Every time i get the notion to want to get one of those great new cars I say no I'm good I'll stick with me Lincoln Continental. I'm just saying."
