GNOME Software App Adds Ardour to the Featured List

Jan 27, 2014, 06:00 (0 Talkback[s])
(Other stories by Marius Nestor)

GNOME Software 3.11.4 adds Ardour to the featured apps list, adds an --enable-dogtail configure option, adds a dependency to gsettings-desktop-schemas, introduces a test for actions, as well as some WIP UI tests. Furthermore, the team is proud to introduce the initial port of the PackageKit session interface, and some say that GNOME Software will also be available in Arch Linux, as a front-end to the pacman package manager app. In addition, this release adds some accessible names to the widgets, it will no longer send hourly notifications to users about available updates, removes the spinner for screenshot loading, lookups app folder names, displays a 'Launch' button for installed web apps, makes the configuration of the application folder available, and makes sure that application ratings are set correctly.

ListenLogicâ€™s CEO Shares Insight with Whartonâ€™s Advertising 2020 Initiative

The Wharton Future of Advertising Program has undertaken the Advertising 2020 initiative which has â€œenlisted thought leaders and visionaries from around the world to help us delve into this rich and important concept by answering two provocative questions: What could/should advertising look like in 2020? And what should we do now for this future?â€

ListenLogic Co-Founder and CEO Vincent Schiavone was invited to serve as one of Advertising 2020â€™s thought leaders to share his insight on these two pressing questions. The focus of his piece is on how advertisers can leverage streaming big data hypercomputing today to gain real-time social intelligence on consumers to deliver the right relevant message at the right relevant moment to the right relevant consumer to drive ad efficacy and ultimately ROI.

Hereâ€™s a excerpt from Vinceâ€™s Advertising 2020 submission, entitled Leveraging the Social Revolution:

Advertisers are facing a revolutionary new normal that, while many may be aware of, very few have the technology, strategy and experience to exploit. This new normal is rooted in â€˜always onâ€™ social media networks that serve as real-time, continual channels, delivering contextual, rich intelligence broadcasted by individuals to their friends and often the world. If advertisers are actually listening, able to understand this intelligence and use it in real-time, this becomes a game-changing advantage.

Today, individuals broadcast exactly what they want, exactly when they want it. Continuous contextual data mining and streaming big data predictive analytics are driving the future of advertising with enhanced intelligence and unmatched relevancy. In other words, just right messaging, just in time. This level of immediate insight is the paradigm shift advertisers have been in search of for decades. However, few advertisers have determined how to conceptually leverage this big data challenge and fewer have the technology to take advantage of it.

By leveraging the wealth of real-time social intelligence, advertisers can know more about their consumers than ever before and contextually target them instantly, thus driving measurable ROI.

Know Your Customer

For nearly 20 years, advertisers have attempted to exploit the immediacy of the Internet to enhance campaign efficacy with faster responses and increased measurement. However, despite this speed, advertising has largely remained an exercise in one-dimensional broadcasting with the hope that the right message finds the right individual in the right channel at the right time not unlike print, sponsorship, broadcast and outdoor placements.

Today, social media provides a wealth of intelligence on individual consumers â€“ provided directly from them. This reveals insight into consumer likes, dislikes, needs, wants, hopes, fears, tendencies, desires and even relationships, careers, demographics, income, current and future plans and decisions. Millions of consumers communicate exactly when they are entering a market through their social interactions.

The challenge for advertisers is delivering that right message at the right time by processing this intelligence in order to know the consumer better over time in order to interpret and respond to the consumer in milliseconds.

ListenLogic CEO Addresses Wharton Executive Program

With the National Constitution Center as a backdrop, ListenLogic Founder and CEO Vince Schiavone presented and discussed the advancements and applications of strategic social business intelligence to participants in Whartonâ€™s LinKS Executive Program.

During the extended session, Schiavone discussed how sophisticated big data hypercomputing has taken social business intelligence beyond traditional narrow â€œbuzz,â€ delivering of actionable, in-depth insight that is driving enhanced market strategy, product development, consumer understanding and market analysis for leading corporations who are leveraging the technology.

He also reviewed how streaming big data analysis is making significant advancements on corporate risk and threat detection for Risk, Legal and Corporate Communication Teams and introduced the next generation of customer relationship management for Marketing, Product and Customer Service Teams.

Schiavone reviewed several in-depth case studies of these advancements spanning the food and beverage, automotive, health, media and device industries.

LinKS@Wharton is an extensive executive leadership program that includes C-level participants and board members from the public and private sectors uniquely designed to address many of the largest corporate challenges facing the participants.

Schiavone is a regular featured participant with a variety Wharton programs, including the schoolâ€™s Advertising 2020 program.

What is Social CRM? Part 3: Scaling social media engagement

In Part 2 of our What is Social CRM? series, we discussed some the major efficiency and scaling challenges facing large companies currently utilizing social media for customer service and marketing outreach. Today we look at ways in which Social CRM can be utilized to implement an efficient and scalable social media engagement program.

  • Integrate Business Rules – In order to create a repeatable process, brands should integrate current customer service business rules and develop a ‘Mission Matrix’ that puts objectives and goals at the forefront of the social engagement strategy.Â  Use the Mission Matrix to build a roadmap for customer identification and case escalation within your customer service and marketing outreach operations.Â  For example, create a roadmap to identify and escalate irate customers, product complaints and prospective sales inquiries.
  • Turn on the Social Media Firehose – It’s time to turn on the social firehose and listen to every brand mention, not just 1 out of 10 posts.Â  Many companies are already struggling to process the sampled data feed they’re currently receiving, so how can they scale to handle 10x the data from a firehose without adding 10x the Customer Service Rep staff?Â  They simply can’t.
  • Marry Man & Machine – Free up your Customer Service Reps from wasting 95% of their time sifting through social media posts to find actionable customer issues and focus them solely on handling the customer issues themselves.Â  CSRs are not human spam filterers, they’re too expensive and slow.Â  Leverage smarter technology to automate the sifting and categorization process and only send CSRs what they need: the real-time actionable cases.
  • Intelligently Triage – Automate the categorization, prioritization and queuing of cases based on your Mission Matrix and send these cases to your CSRs through smarter Social CRM technology.Â  Instead of reps processing cases in a purely time-based linear fashion, escalate the more important cases to the top of the queue so they can be addressed immediately.

Enterprise Social CRM uses smarter technology and processes to enable your organization to reach 10x more customers in 1/10th the time without adding CSR headcount.Â  By collecting all the social media conversations, automatically categorizing and triaging cases, and optimizing workflow around your CSRs, you’ll be on your way to becoming a best-in-class social enterprise.

What is Social CRM? Part 2: Understanding the Challenges

In our last post,Â What is Social CRM (Pt 1), we discussed the basics of Social CRM to help better define exactly what Social CRM is (or perhaps, what it should be). Today, we look at some of the major challenges companies are facing in their current social customer service and social outreach operations.

Implementing a Social CRM strategy

As Social CRM goes from idea to implementation, large organizations are quickly becoming aware of the challenges presented by a social media engagement strategy. Some of the main challenges:

  • Sampling Data – Many organizations are only getting a sampling of the social data out there from their data provider. Some as little as 1 in 15 posts on the brand. This is an obvious concern as many issues go unseen, and brands need visibility into the entire stream by opening up the firehose.
  • Noisy Unstructured Data – Once the social data firehose is opened, the sheer volume of social media data is overwhelming. Brands are quickly inundated with thousands of mentions that don’t meet their business rules.
  • CSR’s or Human Spam Filters – With that noise comes a shift in your employee roles and responsibilities. Instead of engaging customers, solving problems and fostering opportunities, your service reps spend 95% of their day sifting through irrelevant data to find actionable cases.
  • Slow Response Times – Without prioritized data streams, reps simply respond as they go along. This model all but guarantees that urgent cases or great opportunities will be missed. Social media engagement is all about timeliness.

Due to these challenges, major brands today have dozens of social media reps parsing through a dirty set of sampled data in an effort to engage with customers online. We will look at how to solve for these scaling issues in Part 3 of What is Social CRM? (Coming Soon)

Blackberry Protein Shake

I think I have a small appliance obsession. Do you have a Ninja? If not, go to Target and buy one. Now. {PS It's on SALE!}

I got my Ninja mixer a few months ago and I'm pretty sure there has not been a single day that has passed that it did not get used. Beyond it's great mixing capabilities, it's awesome because it actually comes with two mixers, a momma and a baby. There is a small one that is perfect for quickly dicing up veggies and the big one is great for post workout shakes. Ninja people are not paying me to write this or anything [although that would be welcomed!] I'm just genuinely in love with my mixer.

Oh, and I can't forget to mention that the deal around the B's house is the cook doesn't clean, or in this case the shake maker doesn't clean. I get to have all the fun with the Ninja and make so many delicious post workout shakes while B has to clean. I love it. But don't tell him.

1/4 cup blackberries
1/2 frozen banana (this is key for the thickness)
1/4 cup non fat greek yogurt
1 tsp cinnamon (or more if you're me)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
3-4 ice cubes

This was a great change from the typical pumpkin shake, and not to mention very pretty to look at!

  1. This looks delish! I've made my blackberry smooties with Spinach, you cant even taste it!!

  2. I literally just told the BF I wanted a ninja yesterday. The magic bullet leaves chunks and his Ostee blender does nothing but make a bunch of noise (although he swears by it). I'm officially making him buy me one and then immediately making this shake :)

  3. That looks so good and I love the color!

  4. Hello, recently found your site and I love it! I am just starting the Lifefit trainer and am doing my workouts at 530am as well. I was wondering if you eat breakfast before you workout? I have quite a bit of weight to lose, and have heard debates about working out in a fasted state. Would love your opinion. Thanks! Brittany

    1. I definitely don't recommend lifting on an empty stomach! Pre and post workout meals are most important for muscle building and with more muscle, you will boost your metabolism, which means more fat burning! I eat egg whites and oats or egg whites and ezekiel toast before the gym.

    2. Thanks for your quick reply, I will start to eat before workouts. Can I eat this right before heading to the gym or do I need more time for digestion? Dreading waking up earlier that 5 to eat. hehe

  5. Oh, I need a new blender and since a Vitamix costs a small fortune, this one might suffice! I've been obsessed with putting roasting beets into smoothies lately. Do you ever put veggies into your smoothies? Can't wait for summer for the blackberries... we grow a TON of them.

  6. How many calories are in this shake. Aside from the protein powder. So excited to try it !

Ferrari’s GTC4Lusso Premières at the Grand Palais, Paris

Ferrari’s GTC4Lusso Premières at the Grand Palais, Paris

Ferrari’s GTC4Lusso Premières at the Grand Palais, Paris

The Grand Palais in Paris is the setting for the Ferrari GTC4Lusso to make its debut in France.

The new V12 4-seater, 4 wheel drive with 4-wheel steering, has over 200 journalists attending the premiere Tuesday afternoon on the opening day of the Tour Auto Optic 2000 rally.

The GTC4Lusso was also the star attraction at a gala cocktail this evening where over 4 hundred guests had the opportunity to see this latest example of a unique mix of benchmark sportscar performance, all-weather versatility and sporty elegance.

This very important “rendez-vous” was also the occasion for Ferrari to present a unique version of its 488 GTB.

In association with its Parisian dealer Charles Pozzi, the  Tailor Made program imagined a car which pays homage to the 308 Gr4 Pioneer driven by Jean Claude Andruet and 2X winner of the Tour de France Auto in Y’s 1981 and 1982.

The body of this unique 488 GTB use the same colors codes of its mythique sister: the Blue and the White. The rims are in Matt Gold with Black Matt calipers.

The interior is mostly inspired by the 308 Gr4 with a modern reinterpretation of the traditional red seats made in Red historic fabric. Lather and mat carbon with the use of Alcantara and black mat carbon are use for the cockpit. The floor is in Grigio Corsa mat aluminum.

After this traditional “rendez vous” in the Grand Palais, the 1st leg of the Tour Auto got under way in the morning for a 5-day rally over 4 circuits and 9 stages on closed roads, with the journey coming to an end in Cannes Saturday, 23 April.

Ferrari will be posting regular updates on the event on its web sites and social media pages:

ACCUFAB RACING has been successful over the years because the company maintains a tight control on quality since all of their products are designed and manufactured at their factory in Ontario, California and they do no outsourcing of any of their products. ACCUFAB is confident that they provide you with a preeminent product by virtue of the fact that they see to it that only premium materials are used and maintain superlative quality control standards as they feel their customers deserve only the best and they see to it that they get just that. The design and manufacture of high performance throttle bodies is at the heart of their business and there is no compromise when it comes to quality of the materials selected for the fabrication of their throttle bodies, whether it be the type of aluminum or stainless steel chosen or something as simple as brass blades and the highest quality bushings and screws, everything is top of the line with no excuses accepted for using anything less. ACCUFAB throttle bodies are machined on CNC machines from 6061-T6 aluminum billet to extremely close tolerances and the shafts are ground to perfection and even the smallest part is made to exact specifications. ACCUFAB does not use robotics but instead bench grinds and hand polishes each unit to a high luster and in addition each unit is meticulously calibrated. Each and every throttle body is manufactured as if it were going to be used on a racing car so that even if you intend to use your car for only street driving you will still get the sturdier quality and not a lesser quality part.

ACCUFAB and LMPERFORMANCE wants you to get the best air flow possible in your car to afford you unparalleled performance and they know you can do this by improving your cars throttle response and horsepower with a throttle body from ACCUFAB.

LMPERFORMANCE is proud to be a dealer for ACCUFAB THROTTLE BODIES and Plenum for your Chevy Camaro or Corvette, Dodge, Ford Mustang or F-150, and Pontiac GTO because you can't go wrong with an ACCUFAB part.

About Koni

History and information about Koni and their products.

KONI has a long and colorful history starting in 1857 in the Netherlands and was not a shock absorber manufacturer at its onset but made leather equipment for horses and then prior to World War II it began designing and manufacturing a friction type shock absorber and finally after the war it initiated work on the telescopic shock absorber. Later, KONI began to view racing as an avenue that would advance the company’s presence in the automotive industry and consequently participated in an international rally and thus was the start of the KONI presence in the sport of racing until finally winning the World Championship with Tyrell Ford at the wheel winning the driver’s and construction championships and the rest is history. KONI has dedicated itself to the task of improving damping for racing purposes but it has not stopped there and has gone on to improve damping in commercial vehicles as well as things like bridges--no job is too big for KONI and its experts and now KONI has a presence in a potpourri of conveyances and industrial applications being used under the most extreme conditions and are touted to be first when it comes to the designing and manufacturing of shock absorbers and suspension systems.

As a testament to its success in 1972 it became part of the globally diversified industrial company ITT who has a customer base in about one hundred twenty-five countries around the world and is one of the leading manufacturers of energy, transportation and industrial solutions. When you purchase a KONI product you can be certain that a great deal of expertise has gone into the making of that product whether it be in design, manufacturing or testing because a company cannot exist in such a competitive marketplace without providing a quality product that satisfies their customer and they certainly can’t become one of the leaders in the industry. Whether you choose the Gold, Yellow, Orange or Red KONI shocks from those available on the LMPERFORMANCE web site ,know that the difference is not in the color but in the unique driving experience each is designed to provide because KONI makes every color of SANS PARIEL quality, they just want to give you the ability to choose the one that best suits your driving situation.

For over 150 years, KONI has been the premier manufacturer of performance and adjustable Koni sports shocks in the world. KONI shocks introduced the industry's very first adjustable shock absorber, electronic drag racing shocks and today's patented FSD (Frequency Selective Damping) street shocks. KONI suspension kit products are made from the highest quality raw materials and machined to the highest tolerances. This quality is represented not only by KONI's long heritage in motorsports but has also afforded KONI shocks the ability to offer a limited lifetime warranty on many of its shocks.

KONI makes a broad range of product lines to deliver upgraded performance in handling and ride quality to cars and trucks driven on paved roads. Shown below is a listing of the many world class KONI products and features that make the right choice for your vehicle. We also have Bilstein Sport Shocks here for another reputable company providing quality performance parts.

Broiling Lobster Tails

Learn how to broil a lobster tail

Broiling a Lobster Tail is a method used to get the golden brown top that you often see on lobster tails served in restaurants. Many ovens at home may not be able to achieve this but if you can get it to work, the tail will look beautiful when it comes out of the oven.

Below are directions for broiling a 5oz South African Lobster Tail.

Broiled Lobster Tail

Here are instructions for broiling a lobster tail. The lobser tail used in this demostration is a 5oz South African Lobster Tail.

Broiled Lobster Tail

Start with a defrosted lobster tail and place on a cutting board.

South African Lobster Tail

Set oven to a medium broil - 500 degrees

Lobster Marinade

Begin with creating a lobster marinade. This is a combination of a half stick of clarified butter, 1 tsp of lemon juice, a 1/4 tsp of white pepper, a 1/4 tsp of sea salt and a 1/4 tsp of garlic powder. Mix together and set aside.

south african lobster tail5

Take kitchen sheers and begin on right side of the shell. Keep bottom of the sheers as close to the top underside of the shell as possible. You do NOT want to cut too deep into the lobster tail.

Broiled Lobster Tail

South African Lobster Tail 10

Grab the cut piece of shell and peel it backwards

Wash the tail with cold water as to remove any bits of shells and pat dry.

South African Lobster Tail 9

Drizzle the lobster tail with the marinade prepared earlier and place into pan. Insert into oven and broil according to times below.

Cooking Times for Broiled Lobster Tails

With oven preheated to the "broil" setting, cook tails about 1 minute per ounce of lobster tail

5 oz - 6 oz 5 - 6 minutes
7 oz - 8 oz 7 - 8 minutes
9 oz - 10 oz 9 - 10 minutes
10 oz + 1 min per ounce

You must keep a close eye on the tails, they will overcook quickly and turn rubbery. The lobster tails are done when the internal tempature reaches 145 degrees. The meat may be slightly browned but should be firm to the touch.

We are one of the oldest clubs in the Old City Centre, from a time when cars ran loose on the narrow streets and the concept of pedestrian area was an utopian image.

We can now take pride in the fact that we have the longest club schedule in the area (we close after 8 in the morning), we have a generous space, 2 floors, a street terrace in the summertime and a place for smoking in the inner yard.

The music that our DJs play is diverse, varies from fresh to oldschool, however it's always about dancing.

At the bar, we like to keep tradition with affordable prices and also special offers.

Stepford Lady Cop busts a sissy

I have been offered a job on the Stepford Police forec, since all the male officer are beig converted into sissies. I start my shift and patrol downdown Stepford.

I notice a newcomer to our lovely little town. I stroll over to him "Hello Sir welcome to Stepford. I'm Sgt Angelique G. Conners , "

LaurenR's picture

I had been sitting on a bench in downtown Stepford for about twenty minutes trying to figure out what to do as the cop approached me. Great, that was all I needed I thought to myself. Just twenty minutes earlier I had been kicked off the Greyhound bus in this little town in the middle of nowhere after some woman sitting near me had complained I was making a nuisance of myself. Even though I had protested my innocence and even though the woman who had made the complaint was getting off at Stepford too, the driver kicked me off the bus anyway. Worse, I realized as the bus sped off that my back pack was still on the bus, along with my ID. All I had was a few notes and some change in my pocket.

"Hello Officer," I said looking up at the cop. She was cute at least and I loved a girl in uniform. "Is there something wrong?"

Angelique's picture

I notice there quite a few Fews girls check ou the the sexy man, one of is my ex hubby Saffron. She is try to flirt with him, and give her should a look. I really have to put her in a chasity belt, she is becoming such a slut.She finally gets the hint and minces off, making sure to wiggle her tight ass. I will have give her a good spanking tonite.

I turn my attention back to the men.

"You are are used to the young girls flirting with you," I smile. " Now Sir may I see your ID."

If He doesn't have anyID with him, I will bring him back to the station. I'm sure the other girls would be glad to get a look at this hottie..

Aftera couple hours in the slamer he should ready to do whatever we want.

LaurenR's picture

I seem to be attracting quite a lot of attention, especially from the girls. In fact, I notice, I haven't seen a man around this place yet.

"Yeah, I do have a thing with the girls" I said laughing wondering if the cop liked me too. But then she asks for my ID. "Ah, here's the thing. My ID is in my bag and my bag is on that bus that headed out of town about twenty minutes ago. I was just sitting here wondering what to do about that."

Angelique's picture

"mm well sure I will have to take you to Hq while we sort out who you are exactly, we had way to many drifters coming into town. Some of them are way too interested in our young girls. Please come with me. ONce you are IDed you can be on your way."

If he tries anything I will mace him.

I take hold of his upper arm and we head off to the Police station.

LaurenR's picture

The cop tells me she is going to take me in until they can ID me. But I wonder how they are going to do that... She then grabs my arm.

"Hey, are you arresting me?" I asked her as she continued to hold my arm.

Angelique's picture

"OH I wouldn't say that Sir, its called protective custody." I pull his arms behind his back and cuff him.

"Don't resist Hon, this is for your own good, I wouldn't want to hurt you.' I hustle him down tothe station and we draw quite of a bit of attention form some of the ladies. "Oh Office Angie you have busted another one good work." Lots giggling and smirks from the crowd.

Once at the station I toss him into the lock up,

"We are going to find who you are and what you are doing here - talk."

There have been rumors that so male domme group is plotting to retake our lovely town. This one may be one of their agents.

LaurenR's picture

"Hey" I cried out, shocked as the cop pulled my arms behind my back and began to cuff me.

"Don't resist Hon, this is for your own good, I wouldn't want to hurt you.'

The situation now seemed a lot worse. She led me down the street and as quite a few women came out to watch I had the feeling I was being publically paraded more than just marched down to the station.

Once inside the jail she put me into a cell, but still kept my hands cuffed behind me.

"We are going to find who you are and what you are doing here - talk."

"Talk? I told you already. I was on the bus. I had a bit of a run in with the driver, he threw me off but then I realized my bag was still on the bus. My ID and everything is in the bag. Look, my name is Luke Ramsey, you can look me up. Washbain, CT. I'm a student."

Angelique's picture

"Well ok Mr Ramsey, I will call the bus company but it may be awhile before I hear back from them. Is there anyone in Washbain CT that will vouch for you?

The desk Sgt smiles and makes a few phone calls and alerts the Trans Team to get things ready for our guest.

LaurenR's picture

Reluctantly I knew that it could be hours before she would manage to get hold of the bus company who in turn had to reach the driver who in turn had to call the cop back. "You could call my college," I said, but then realized it was the holiday season. They could be closed too.

"Say, could you at least uncuff me?" I asked feeling a bit helpless for myself.

Angelique's picture

I give him a smile "yes the schools are closed right now . Don't you have a family? I sure your mother will be glad to help you right?"

He whines about being cuffed. "They are staying on for now, don't want you hurting yourself"

I fill up of water and bring it over to him. "have a drink sweetie, bey you could use it."

There is a tastesless drug in it and put him to sllep and then he will be transported to the Academy.

India Per Se

The food at Eriki is expensive but well worth it. Rather than serving the same dishes as every other local indian restaurant, they have more traditional Indian dishes. The quality of the food and it's presentation are more akin to a central London restaurant, rather than a local one.

Yuzu Restaurant

Yuzu has created comtemporary variations on traditional sushi dishes. The sushi tastes great and is well presented. The atmosphere is surprisingly chic for this part of the world, making the restaurant equaly suitable for a romantic meal as an evening out with friends. As other people here have noted, the service can be a tad rude.

I ate at Quaglino's for the 4th time last month and was disappointed with every aspect of the meal. The restaurant, which was once a classic, has really gone downhill. Sadly, the prices have gone uphill.

On booking, I was told I have a two hour slot to eat up as there would be someone else at my table at 9:30 (kind of early to be done on a Sat night in London). This pay-and-get-out policy was reiterated by the hostess who sat us down.

Though the table missing a cloth is de rigeur at Quaglinos, I was surprised it was missing some cutlery, salt and pepper.

The starters and main courses were well cooked and I'd definately recommend the steak. I was somewhat disappointed that the desert menu had neither cheese, nor fresh fruit. I asked if it would be possible to have some fresh fruit and the waitress, after checking with the kitchen, told me that they didn't have any fresh fruit. The is somewhat surprising for one of the largest restaurants in London, especially as it has a cocktail bar.

The wine was terrible. For something costing £30, I was surprised to be served somehting that would have cost them in the region of £4.

Service was non-existant. Though the restaurant was not full, the waiters were too busy to pay any attention. After I received the bill, it took 10 minutes to attract a waiter to pay.

For poor service, bad wine and fairly good food, I was charged £130 for 2 people. This is the first time I have ever refused to pay the tip.

Dim T (Hampstead)

The food tastes great and the atmosphere is fabulous. The staff are hot, which is just as well as they're not good for anything else, especially keeping plates upright, remembering orders, paying attention to customers or being helpful. Still, the food is tasty and the prices are good so I go back time and again.

The only downside of the restaurant is the service, which is truly aweful. I go regularly and so have experienced many problems (and the occasional problem free meal).

The main problem is that the staff are selected on their looks, not their abilities. There's nothing wrong with this, as long as you don't turn up expecting good service. I've been served raw chicken in dim sum, duck when I ordered lamb (and the waitress insisted it was lamb when I complained, even though it looked and tasted like duck and presumably has "duck" written on the packaging in the kitchen), whole meals forgotten and been told by a waiter that the dish my girlfriend ordered was terrible - she advised ordering something else.

Meals can take anything between 30 mins and 3 hours, depending on whether the staff bother to serve you quickly or not, so you can never be sure whether you're going for fast food or a relaxed meal. I guess that adds to the excitement.

If you want great atmosphere, food with potential and hot waitresses, this is definately worth visiting.

MUA Love Hearts: polished nails

The new 'love hearts' collection from MUA seems to have gone down an absolute storm. I've told you about the fab lip pots, but now it's the turn of the nail varnish. Available in six sweet-appropriate shades, from luscious lemon to perfect pink, they're absolutely good enough to eat. Each shade is kind of unique, taking a twist on the normal colour you'd expect to give a great looking nail. Although it's not quite sunny enough to justify the yellow, I've been loving the fab pink and purple shades which seem to brighten up any outfit.

The colours come out pretty true to the bottle in one coat. The formula is surprisingly thick considering these only cost £2.00, meaning they're perfect if you're in a hurry and need to slap on a coat of polish and run out the door. Two coats give a great colour result that lasts a good few days without chipping; with a top coat it lasted around five days, without around two. A great way to spend a couple of quid if you've had enough skinny, soy, hazelnut lattes over the course of London Fashion Week.

Available now from the MUA website, soon to launch in Superdrug, priced £2.00 each.

Imprisoned Journalist & Whistleblower Barrett Brown Released

Barrett Brown, a Texas-based journalist who was imprisoned by federal authorities following a raid of both his apartment and his mother’s house amid his own investigations into government defense contractors, was released from prison Tuesday, five months prior to his scheduled release date. Brown, who pleaded guilty two years ago to three Internet threats, accessory after the fact, and interfering with the execution of a search warrant, had originally been charged with more than a dozen crimes and faced more than 100 years in prison. A majority of the charges were dropped after his lawyers challenged the wisdom of the allegations in court.

The value of Twitch

About a month ago, word spread that Google-owned YouTube had completed negotiations to buy game-streaming service Twitch with an all-cash offer of $1 billion.

Yesterday, YouTube had the rug pulled from under them when Twitch announced that they had accepted another all-cash bid for $970 million from Amazon. Here’s the thank you post from Twitch CEO Emmett Shear.

So what exactly is Twitch and where is its value?

The best way to get a sense of Twitch is to try it. Start at the Twitch directory. Search for your favorite game. In my case, that’d be one of the Zelda games, perhaps A Link to the Past. Twitch makes it easy to find a wide variety of videos and live play of pretty much every game with any sort of following, even some pretty obscure titles.

So why would someone care about this? The key is the allure of Let’s Play, the general term for watching someone else play your favorite game. You might be watching to learn from the masters, or you might just enjoy the social interaction. No matter the reason, there’s no question that Let’s Play is huge. The most subscribed channel on YouTube (27 million subscribers) is a Let’s Play channel.

Twitch is sort of a specialized version of YouTube, with the entire focus on Let’s Play. Rather than the passive experience of a YouTube video, Twitch streaming can be live, and it can be interactive. One excellent example is TPP or Twitch Plays Pokemon, a massively successful Twitch social experiment, consisting of a slightly moderated, crowdsourced playing of various Pokemon games. TPP is something you just can’t do on YouTube.

Twitch also streams big gaming tournaments, and provides live channels with gamers, cosplay designers, and other personalities. At its peak, Twitch is said to equal the viewership of cable channels like Comedy Central, MTV, and MSNBC. All in all, a big loss for Google and a huge gain for Amazon. This is a cash cow and has the potential to be a direction changing acquisition for Amazon. [Hat tip to Daniel Mark]

  • matthewmaurice

    I don’t see how this is a huge cash cow for Amazon. For Google it makes plenty of sense. More pre-roll ads and lots of data about lots of young technology users that can be leveraged by the Algorithm for YEARS to come (the Deltas from this demographics alone will be priceless to Google over the rest of their lives). Where’s the upside for Amazon? Yeah, they can market all the games and accessories from Amazon’s, and their affiliates’, catalog, but really how lucrative is that? No, the real value was to Google, and you’re right it’s a huge loss for them. A gain for Amazon, not so much.

    • Near as I can see, Amazon can use this to enhance its Fire brand. The goal would be to enable Fire users to share their games to a viewing audience, live and/or recorded. If they can enable other game systems to stream through a Fire device as well, it would be a big coup. However, all of that latter is tech not included in Twitch. (Amazon can control the tech on their own devices.) All of that is above the mention Dave makes about basically being a game event network.

  • Moeskido

    What a peculiar market segment.

    Once in a great while, I like to watch a bit of play-video from a game I haven’t had the hardware to run in years… or never obtained and wish I had. Nostalgia.

    Otherwise, I can’t see the attraction of wanting to watch someone else play a game that I’d rather play myself.

  • matthewmaurice

    OK,, NOW it makes some sense. H/T to Gruber. However, I think they have as good a chance at out-Googling Google in advertising as they did with out-Androiding Google in mobile device ecosystems.

    At the start of my relationship I was bad at saying no so a lot of the sex was painful because I wasn't in the mood. The worst was probably a blowjob I gave the morning after a night out because I felt hungover and my boyfriend smelt *ahem* less than rosy. Pretty sure I cried afterwards.

    The best sex...I don't think I've had it yet but I was super close to orgasm during penetration once until my roomate ruined the mood by asking me about the bins through the door :') The first time my boyfriend came inside me was pretty awesome too

    This one was more of a most embarrasement really. But was the worst case I could think of .

    I was 16 at the time and my gf was 15. We were enjoying some heavy petting and she was rubbing me down below . She decided to undo my chinos and pull them down slightly and therefore releasing me .As soon as she rubbed me some more with her hand I came as my gran entered the room and with it being my first time ( I kid you not) sprayed my Gfs corduroy dress with a lot of white stuff. My gran walked out in embarrasement . My gf made a hasty retreat to the loo to try and remove the whitestuff which we all know stains very easily and we all know corduroy is very difficult to get clean as well becausse of the ridges.

    To make matters worse we had to sit around the table for Easter Sundy roast. My gf with a red face and wet patches all over her dress and me just red faced .No one would make a comment but the looks I got off my mother and father made it very very unpleasant..

    I often laugh now about this with my current partner and Mrs but I wished the earth would just swallowed me up back then .

    I hate to be that guy, but you might want to check the forum rules before posting, life starts at 18 on Lovehoney. Just be careful when posting guys, don't want to get ourselves reported!

    One of my best times was with a dominant partner, the heavy petting was to die for, I gave him the best blow job, whilst adding in gently the odd bit of rimming here and there. I got my fella on his all fours and with one hand on wrapped tightly round his length, my other hand was firmly on his ass grabbing him tightly as I flicked my tongue from the base of his balls right the way back using differing techniques with my tongue to give a whole variety of sensations. The exhilaration in his voice was amazing and such a turn on to hear.

    Another time was my walk in fxxk and leave, I knew he was on his way and couldn't wait to feel him and hold him. The sex was mad, passionate, hard and absolutely amazing. As soon as we finished we got dressed and he left with a big smile....

    I could keep going and going......

    My best worst time was actually not that bad, but being both very young (over18, though) and experimenting new positions, one of the times we tried doggy some air got into her and got out sounding like a fart. We had such a laughing attack (we were so surprised we both laughed for 5 minutes) that we didn't even finish. At least we learned in a funny way, and it did not put us off for trying it again later.

    One of my best times (my best time includes a substance that is not legal in this country but it is in places like Amsterdam, where it happened, so I will leave it there) was the first time they finished me with a blowjob inside the mouth, until then I had a kind of mental block to finish there, it opened a new frontier to me.

    Best sex I've had was a one night stand with a guy that I hooked up with in a club. He was a friend of a friend, I found him annoying and I wasn't particularly attracted to him. But we had a few drinks and ended up kissing and... holy crap! There was so much electricity between us. And the sex was amazing.

    Worst time... probably when I has sex with a friend. It was awkward and not particularly great and I came on my period half way through. Cringe!

    Hmmmmm worst would have to be when my boyfriend took 'domination' to far and drugged me up and raped me.... (sorry for the TMI)

    Best would have to be the first time i ever tried bondage. It was only like my third partner and i'd not really had much sex before that. I was at his house and was in bed watching finding nemo (of all things!!! not very romantic i know haha) and he came into the bed beside me and spooned me so i could feel him hard against my back then put his hands over and blindfolded me with a silk tie. Then rolled me onto my back and straddled me and refused to let me touch him or myself then worked his way from my neck down...;) need i say more there! He also squeezed body paint all over me that had been kept in the fridge so it was the whole cold/warm thing! That was also my first oral, i'd never let a guy go down on me before. Then he finished it inside me and we actually came together and as we done that only then did he take the tie off and let me touch him...just WOW... i totally would love to find another partner who would treat me like that. mmmm :)

    I'm really sorry to hear you went through something like that. I'm also really pleased you were strong enough to not let it stop you enjoying sex, and allowing you to discover yourself sexually. You're amazing, and an inspiration. Truly. X

    For me, my worst would easily be with the guy I first slept with. Not once on any occasion did I feel any pleasure at all. He was boring. His technique was awful, and he Really needed to discover Lovehoney!!! I think one thing that made it worse, was that he was convinced he was some sex god. Ha. As if!

    My best? A night of completely spontaneous, passion filled sex with my fiance. We are so in sync, that we just somehow knew exactly what eachother needed and wanted. It was amazing. The spontaneity aided the fire behind the passion, too. I loved that. There were no toys, no restraints, no nothing. Just stripped bare. Just us. Perfect.

    I've never been able to get much out of sex personally, but I'll be cheeky since the title didn't specify sex and say that the many times Agent Scully blew my mind when I was a right-handed teenager are still fresh in my memory :)

    As for the worst, I paid for sex once (in my efforts to find a formula that might work for me I thought sex with a stranger might be kinky) and after 30 minutes I was still nowhere near orgasm.

    My quest is beginning to seem hopeless but continues nevertheless....

    Worst - one of my ex's loved anal however he was rough, didn't see the need to have me totally relaxed and wasn't really bothered about making it pleasurable for me. Couple of occassions i would be asking him to stop but he carried on until he had finished.....god knows why i stayed with him as long as i did.

    Best - Current bf, we have had lots of amazing sessions but one of my faves was the first time he went down on me, could hear him enjoying it too which really turned me on....he made me cum then carried on until i did again, never had a guy before who was so concerned with pleasing me.

    Worst, by far, was the second time my wife and I tried anal. The first time we'd both been pretty drunk and it had gone quite well The second time we were much more sober and she was lying face down and really - or so I thought - getting into it. Turns out she was crying. I stopped immediately and felt like an utter monster for really quite a long time.

    The best is with the same woman. It's probably not the most frequent or the most energetic sex I've ever had but it is the most satisfying over all levels - emotionally, and so physically.

    This might be TMI so yeah, warning and whatnot.

    Worst would have to be the time I tore my frenulum. Everything was going fine, but I felt a small pain when thrusting and thought I just went too hard. So I just slowed down and carried on like normal, she asked me to stop after a while because she started feeling sick for some reason, pulled out and realised there was blood everywhere. It looked like a murder scene!

    I felt awful, not just because of how much blood I'd lost and how much pain I was in during the healing process but because It was so early into my relationship and it was one of the first times I'd ever had sex. Here I am finally meeting a woman who is more than I could have ever hoped for and I've bled in and all over her a few months after meeting! Luckily she didn't care, she was far more concerned about me than anything else and she took really good care of me afterwards.

    The best is every single time we're together. Which unfortunately isn't as often as we'd like.

    Worst - I had been chatting up this woman for weeks, taking her out, doing all the nice things and eventually we ended up in bed together. Maybe she wasn't really interested in me but she just lay there, didn't move much, didn't make a sound and didn't really join in.

    I felt so empty afterwards and wished that if she hadn't wanted to go to bed with me that she'd just said so. Needless to saywe didn't see each other after that.

    Best sex was with my OH before we were married. We were at a group dinner in a pub, she wore a black roll top jumper, short green tartan skirt, stockings and heels. We kept looking at each other all evening, the electricity was palpable. When we got back to her maisonette we just fell through the door and tore each others clothes off and shagged in the hall way - we couldn't wait any longer.

    A magic vagina? Did she pull a rabbit out? On a side BigBe1987 I see from your profile you regard yourself as well endowed, and out of your 11 posts half of them have been proclaiming your massive length/impressive girth. I am of the humble opinion that the only well endowed aspect of you is your ego, and that you are in fact a twat.

    Worse - the guy I lost my virginity to, he thought good oral sex involved spelling out the alphabet with his tongue over the whole vulva.

    The best... not an actual session, but three moments with one singular guy.

    I had a hang up over performing oral sex for years, for icky personal reasons. I finally managed to it with A, and he was really sweet, let me go at my own pace and was really patient and good with me.

    The second was also with A. We tend to have wild mad sex in all sorts of positions, but once we just did it in missionary, and that was sensual and kind of soul grabbing.

    The third was when he made me squirt four times in a row, multiple orgasms, you name it. That was another first!

    Worst: having sex with someone who was a friend, and friends with my ex. Was a bad judgement call and on top of that he was vanilla, boring, inattentive and quick. He was also a terrible kisser. Yuk.

    Best: with my OH several years ago (tho this passed weekend was close!)... It involved some amazing 69, a large glass dildo, silk gloves and red lipstick, which I don't normally wear - HOT. For fear of being banned, I'll leave it there. :P

    Worst was when I was 18. I worked at a riding stables and had been fooling around with a guy who also worked there for a while. One afternnon (stables were closed) he wanted to take things further. I agreed that he could tie me up and gag in the barn and have sex. This was actually great but afterwards he started laughing at me, refused to untie me and walked off and left me there, tied up, gagged and naked, for my boss to find me that evening, I couldn't move or scream for help. It had of course got dark in the meantime and I was terrified, could here the damn rats scurrying around etc - not to mention the humiliation :(

    Best was definitely the first time my oh tied me up and spanked the living daylights out of me and then spent ages kissing and rubbing my bum better :)

• For people new to the kink scene

    What with 50 shades and Story of O being republished and one thing and another it seems that more and more people are becoming cool with kink.

    There's nothing wrong with people coming from interest in these books but they are fantasys and aren't always grounded guides to an entry into kink, and it would be unrealistic to expect them to be.

    So for new people to the kink scene I've put together some thoughts on the subject that I hope will be helpful to people.

    that is a great idea, well done for sharing it. I think its really important to 'properly' educate people about the scene so they know what they are really getting into!

    Thanks for the comments, I just hope it helps some people.

    I think most of what I've put is just sense really but it seems the kind of sense that can get lost in the excitement of discovery. It's always a sad thing when someone's enthusiasm and possibly naivety is taken advantage of. Alternatively some people may even though well meaning step beyond what they should in an unfamiliar environment.

    Sound advice, and common sense - which can get 'lost' somehow, in the newness and strangeness of it all.

    I think people can get confused and overawed when the ideas of sub dom are around especially with someone who's only exposure is through fiction.

    In any new circumstance people can be unsure how to behave and what is and isn't usual. Even more they can be unsure of their own place within an established group.

    I was surprised at the amount of response these articles had when I posted them on kink sites. From people with experience saying they'd wished they'd seen things like this when they first found kink or from newcomers who found them useful.

    I was surprised because to me, most of it is common sense, but my perspective is that of someone who's been around kink for 20 years, the perspective of someone who's whole experience is a book is different.

The Lovereading4Kids comment

Shortlisted for the CLIP Carnegie Medai 2010.

This debut novel is a great page-turner with an endearing story that's full of rich detail and beautifully written. It has a terrific sense of place. Although the narrator is only 10 years old, the content of this book is definitely going to appeal to teenagers and adults. With a wonderful lightness of touch, the author intertwines the feelings of adults as children keep disappearing in a compelling and heart-felt way.

Shortlisted for the prestigious Teenage Book of the Year Award 2009.

The Vanishing of Katharina Linden by Helen Grant

CILIP CARNEGIE Medal SHORTLIST 2010: Judges’ comments

An accomplished, darkly comic debut novel which grips the reader as it builds its macabre layers to a horrifying conclusion. Its German setting, and Pia’s family are extremely well captured as are the dark undercurrents in small-town society.

On the day Katharina Linden disappears, Pia is the last person to see her alive. Terror is spreading through the town. How could a girl vanish in a place where everybody knows everybody else? Pia is determined to find out what happened to Katharina. But then the next girl disappears.

Both a wonderful first novel, and a strange, haunting modern fairytale, The Vanishing of Katharina Linden is that rare beast: a book that reawakens in adults the childhood terror of the bogeyman, and confirms for children that the world is an infinitely stranger place than adults might like to pretend . . . John Connolly, New York Times author of The Reapers

The Vanishing of Katharina Linden is a stunning debut with a richly evoked setting, a smart sympathetic heroine, and the best opening line for a novel I've ever read. Helen Grant conjures a tale of evil in rural Germany that would make the Brothers Grimm jealous!

Dark and deadly as the original Grimm's German folktales, The Vanishing of Katharina Linden hides its menace behind the exquisitely charming narrator, Pia, an unforgettable child of the first order. Keith Donohue, author of The Stolen Child and Angels of Destruction

6192008: The Parker Meridien Palm Springs Offers Package Based on "The Bachelorette"

Although reality TV contestant DeAnna Pappas may not have won the heart of Brad Womack during the 11th season of The Bachelor, the Newnan, Georgia real estate agent is once again on a quest for the best man around as the current season of The Bachelorette airs on ABC. Squired by 25 hopefuls at the start of the series, the competition had dwindled down to six suitors vying to be the lucky lady’s soul mate by the time production commenced on an episode filmed at The Parker Meridien Palm Springs. As cameras rolled, the bachelorette moved in to one of the venue’s 12 villas, while her band of ardent admirers unpacked their luggage in the Gene Autry House.

While only time will tell which romantic male will receive the coveted final rose, from now through September 16, 2008 couples who have already found their perfect match can enjoy a special “Bachelorette”- inspired package at the luxury retreat.

During an overnight stay in one of the villas, couples can take a dip in one of the California retreat’s two outdoor or two indoor pools, play croquet on the manicured lawn or a game of tennis on one of the clay courts. A romantic breakfast for two on the villa’s private patio is included with the package.

BOSTON -- Plainville has been awarded the state's first license for expanded gambling in Massachusetts, after the gaming commission voted 3-2 in favor of Penn National Gaming's proposed slots parlor at the Plainridge harness racetrack.

Leominster, where The Cordish Companies had proposed a slots casino off Jungle Road, received the two other votes.

The panel met on Thursday to decide between three applicants for the only slots parlor allowed under the state's 2011 gambling law. Besides Leominster, Plainville also beat out a competing proposals at Raynham Park, a former dog racing track.

Voting in favor of the Plainville proposal were commissioners Enrique Zuniga, Bruce Stebbins and Gayle Cameron. Favoring Leominster were commission chairman Stephen Crosby and James McHugh.

The commission spent the previous two days reviewing reports on five major categories used to evaluate the applications: general overview; building and site design; finances, economic development and mitigation.

Since hearings started on Tuesday, the Leominster and Plainville proposals vied for the strongest grades in most of the categories, while Raynham trailed the others in nearly every category.

The facility will be allowed up to 1,250 slot machines, but no casino-style table games.

Penn National had proposed the slot parlor in Tewksbury. Voters rejected the proposal. Penn National then championed the bid for Plainville, because the state had disqualified the first proponent.

Cameron said she liked Penn National's experience running 28 gaming facilities and said Plainridge Racecourse couldn't survive without the help of a casino. The economic impact of jobs, open space and other factors are important, she said.

"I just think that's a great value. For me that clearly makes a stronger case," Cameron said.

Cordish would additionally fund a UMass Lowell and UMass Worcester medical device company accelerator. The proposal, which is called M3D3, would build on the existing Massachusetts Medical Device Development Center (M2D2) at the University of Massachusetts in Lowell.

The M3D3 didn't offer a specific number of jobs, said Commissioner Enrique Zuniga.

"It's better to have a dollar in hand than a dollar tomorrow," Zuniga said, comparing horse racing to medical device manufacturing.

M3D3 can be successful without giving the license to Cordish, Stebbins said.

"The state needs to belly up and fund M3D3," he said.

Cordish was praised by Crosby for reaching "outside the box" with its proposal to dedicate at least $1 million in annual gambling revenues to help startup medical device companies in the north-central Massachusetts region.

Penn National was rated sufficient in the general overview, with Crosby's report saying the greatest strength of Plainville's proposal was its promise to maintain horse racing, but that it otherwise offered "few really distinctive features."

Now that the gaming commission has awarded the slots parlor license, the commission will then turn its attention to choosing destination resort casino operators in the eastern and western parts of the state, with decisions on those licenses expected by midyear.

LOWELL -- Seth Moulton may not be the biggest name in the race for the 6th Congressional District, but he's garnered one high-profile endorsement.

Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who led the Joint Special Operations Command in Iraq and served as the commander of American forces in Afghanistan, gave his first political endorsement Monday, stumping for Moulton in Peabody.

"Seth Moulton and I have both spent our careers working hard, cutting through red tape, and doing what's right even when it's not easy," McChrystal said at the Peabody-Lynn Elks Lodge Monday night.

"That's exactly the kind of leadership we need in Congress today, and that's why I'm proud to support Seth Moulton for Congress. I know Seth will not only work hard to create jobs, expand access to health care, and take care of our veterans, he'll actually get it done."

Moulton, a Marine veteran and Democrat from Salem who served in the Iraq War, is challenging Rep. John Tierney, who has held the 6th District for 18 years. Other opponents in the Democratic primary include immigration lawyer Marisa DeFranco and small-business owner John Devine.

Supporting veterans through health-care reform, job training and an expansion of the G.I. bill has been a hallmark of Moulton's campaign, along with educational reform and economic development for cities like Lynn and Gloucester.

McChrystal's involvement, Moulton said, is a sign that incumbent Tierney has not been effective in Congress.

"The fact that Gen. McChrystal is getting involved in this Democratic primary race is because so many people are seeing this story of a young, pragmatic veteran taking on a hyperpartisan, entrenched and ineffective congressman as emblematic of the kind of change we need in Washington," Moulton said.

Moulton said the endorsement from McChrystal was an honor.

"It means a lot because the biggest challenge for me in my race is simply getting the name recognition. When people understand the facts in the race and compare my background to Congressman Tierney's, I'm in very good shape," Moulton said.

The 6th Congressional District includes the towns of Bedford, Billerica, Burlington, Tewksbury and Wilmington, along with cities and towns in Essex County.
