    1. In a haze, you’ll hear Konrad talking to you and catch a glimpse of him. When you actually wake up, you’re in pretty poor shape and alone. As you limp forward, you’ll be surrounded by fire as well as civilians who don’t take kindly to you.
    2. Keep following the path, and you’ll hear Riggs up ahead. Keep walking forward and you’ll see him trapped underneath one of the trucks. He wants you to do something for him. Kill him before the flames burn him alive. At first I was not going to kill him, but as soon as I saw the oil spread underneath, I had to do it. When you make your choice, keep walking forward past the dead bodies and rubble.
    3. Lugo then radios in. As you chat, follow the flares across the sand, then drop down. Stay by the overpass as you see a helicopter touch down. The enemies will converge on the mall looking for Lugo and Adams. Move past all the wrecked cars and quickly head inside the mall.
    4. Head up the escalator, then into the store. When you get closer, you’ll see that Lugo is being held hostage. Directly in front of you is an enemy with his back turned. Vault over the sandbags to kick him off, then grab the sniper rifle by the railing. Afterward, nail the guy who has taken Lugo hostage, then clean house with the sniper rifle on the enemies across the way. Take note of the enemies on top as well.
    5. Keep protecting Adams and Lugo until you need the help. Take cover by the barbed wire and wait for your squad to shoot the glass and send a wave of sand against your enemies. When they’ve been buried, hop over the wall and onto the sand to reach the other side.
    6. Protect the team from the other side when they yell for help, then proceed toward the white marker. Grab some grenades by the storefront on the left before you head there. When you reach the zipline, you’ll have to take care of some snipers on the roof first. When they’re down, slide across. An enemy will be treated to a boot in the face.
    7. Take cover immediately as soon as you land against the counter, then take care of the enemies ahead. Lugo and Adams will request help by asking you to flank. Head to the marker. When you enter the room full of mannequins, the lights will start flashing, blacking out every so often. After taking care of the initial grunts, you’ll be trapped in here with a heavy, who looks like he’s teleporting because of the flashing. Take cover and aim for the head. Use all the grenades and ammo you can to take him down. He will reload so use that opportunity to fire back.
    8. When the heavy goes down, exit the store and take out the two enemies by the exit. Now head out, grab some grenades by the balcony and use the zipline. You’ll find some ammo. Head into the next room and take cover using the furniture. Take out the enemies occupying the room by breaking the glass next to the painting on the wall, then head up the stairs.
    9. Slowly make your way up the stairs as you pepper some rounds on any enemies you see. When you reach the top, take out the gunner on the turret in the room to your right. Now use the turret to protect your squad as they head up to the top across the mall.
    10. Watch their back as they make their way up. When you’ve demolished the enemies, Lugo and Adams will zipline down toward you. They’ll hear a noise coming from the door ahead. It’s a soldier who doesn’t want to play soldier anymore. He tells you where to find the Radioman.

Warner Bros. is bringing out quite a treasure trove of content next week in the Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection (not “Arkade?”). Available as a download on the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live and PC, this “Kollection” will be available August 31 and will give you the original Mortal Kombat trilogy (Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 2 and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3) in one nice, neat, pretty package.

The set will run you $10 on all platforms, which when you consider that you can play these versions of the games online is a pretty awesome deal. Well, it’d be pretty good even if you couldn’t play online. Anyway…

EA Sports: MMA Preview

Nick_Tan By:
GENRE Sports
T Contains Alcohol Reference, Blood, Language, Mild Suggestive Themes, Violence

What do these ratings mean?

Hammer and tongs.

The uphill battle EA Sports faces against THQ's UFC Undisputed series is beyond obvious. Even if neither company confronts nor eagerly acknowledges the other, you can hear the air crackling between them, a calm but aggressive energy that's ready to ignite into an all-out brawl. Then again, UFC is solidly the #1 brand of MMA in the United States and has the money, the stars, and the teeth to back it up. It already has two popular, critically-acclaimed installments with a rabid fanbase who's ready to backhand anyone who says otherwise. And Dana White has declared himself "at war".

click to enlargeBut EA Sports MMA (aka EA MMA) is no slouch, nor is it an idiot (am I projecting too much?). Analyzing and dissecting its rival's weaknesses, it has devised a fighting strategy based on several bullet points: fluidity, simplicity, and international diversity. They see holes in UFC Undisputed's game plan, and EA MMA hopes to take advantage of that.

The UFC Undisputed franchise interprets mixed martial arts as a heavy and deliberate sport with distinct positions and transitions, each with a comprehensive moveset of techniques and commands. EA MMA has a swifter, more arcade-ready approach, with fighters who can all sidestep, dash, and evade with the agility of a professional boxer. Mastering the system still requires precision and fast hand reflexes, while at the same time, fights looks more like real MMA matches where fighters cautiously move in and out and around the ring before making a deadly strike.

Still, as expected from any game that tries to tackle the complexities of mixed martial arts, explaining the controls remains a laborious task if you were to list out all of the commands. The button holds for low modifiers, body modifiers, and blocking are just a small piece of the entire moveset. But the rest of the control scheme can be surprisingly described with ease: the analog sticks control standing strikes similar to Fight Night, one face button finds the best submission positions, and another face button finds the best ground striking positions. Continually use any one of those three control schemes, and you'll have a legitimate winning strategy.

click to enlargeFollowing a graphical style that's more slick than gritty, EA MMA puts a spin on the genre's established tropes. Transitioning and defending against transitions in the clinch and ground grapple can be done at the touch of a button. A fighter's health is reflected by his damage and movement speed, and a stamina bar can be turned off, to keep the screen HUD-less. But if you so choose, you can turn on four health bars for various parts of your fighter's body. Finishing a submission turns into a mini-game where you and your opponent use the analog sticks to nail down the sweetspot in the hold.

EA MMA also makes its mark by including the world of mixed martial arts, as opposed to restricting itself to one ruleset or one country. Japanese MMA allows head stomps and takes place in roped square rings, which makes the ground game even deadlier. Other options - the number of rounds, the round times, and the ring shape - mix up the action as well. But the real benefit, of course, is having a roster that includes Fedor Emelianenko, Randy Couture, Jake Shields, Tim Sylvia, and Gegard Mousasi (just to name a few).

There's enough room in the mixed martial arts genre for two heavyweight titles to duke it out. If the other monopolized sports genres are any indication, then a little competition is always a good thing. And since the competition isn't on very friendly terms, you know it's going to be fun to watch. (Bwa ha ha!) EA MMA enters the ring October 19, 2010 for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

Halo 4 Clan Support, Theater Mode Coming via Title Updates

Written by: Denny Connolly | November 02, 2012 at 12:54PM

Halo 4 may still be four long days away from launch, but the developers are already thinking about ways to improve the first-person shooter experience for fans.

343 Industries developer Jessica O’Shea explained that the team has big plans to use title updates to continue adding features to the game after launch.

These updates are usually scheduled for simple bug fixes, but O’Shea says this time around the team is thinking of them as an opportunity to sustain and grow features and options.

The two features mentioned were some kind of clan system and a Theater Mode. Theater Mode was originally planned for the launch, but didn’t make the cut, due to scheduling and rendering issues.

The Theater Mode would allow players to see saved films available for Campaign, as well as some other significant features.

No timeframe, more specific than “the not-too-distant future”, was given.

Halo 4 launches on Nov. 6 for Xbox 360.

L.A. Noire Is Amazon's Deal of the Day

Have you played L.A. Noire yet? Are you a money-conscious gamer eagerly anticipating a notable price drop for one of the best adventure games to come along in years? Amazon has got you covered.

Today the online retailer revealed its Video Games Deal of the Day. For $45, you can get your hands on Rockstar and Team Bondi's detective adventure L.A. Noire. That's $15 off, which is most certainly a decent price cut.

If you've been on the fence about L.A. Noire, you should probably be aware that the game has received much critical acclaim. Not only does it provide a fresh take on the adventure genre, but it uses an impressive interrogation mechanic built around fluid facial gestures. Don't take my word for it, though--check out GameZone's in-depth review of L.A. Noire for more details.

It's interesting to note that L.A. Noire is the best game on Amazon's Deal of the Day promotion in quite some time. I check the site every day, and lately there's been nothing but peripherals and shovelware. Take advantage of the discount and pick up your copy of L.A. Noire before midnight today.

Tiger Woods PGA TOUR

E3 2004 PreviewsThe grass is always greener, particularly when it’s the greens of EA’s Tiger Woods golf franchise.  The most popular golf franchise on the market has added some new features, tweaked the old ones, and balanced gameplay for what looks to be the best Tiger Woods PGA Tour yet.

The most impressive feature of last year’s version of EA’s links game was the Game Face feature.  Gamers could create the looks of just about anyone with a little time investment.  As thorough and enjoyable as it was (it was almost a game in itself), EA’s staff has beefed it up even more, leaving the possibilities of customizable players in the bazillions.  Last year’s thirty customizable sliders were seemingly plenty, but 2005 adds another forty, bringing the total number of feature sliders up to a whopping seventy.  Tattoos and scars are now optional (though most real life 9-iron swingers don’t have ‘em) for gamers who want to add a little edge to their golfer, and the normal features have been revamped and expanded as well.  Age is also easily definable thanks to their youth and elderly options, so get gramps on the links with little Timmy and let them play 18.

The other great new feature added has been dubbed “Tiger Proofing.”  Just like the PGA, players can adjust parameters on the course.  Tees can be set way back to prevent big hitters from eagling every hole.  Fairways can be tightened to challenge even the most precise drivers.  The course undulation can be adjusted for more rolling courses.  Bunkers can go from easy sandboxes to frightening chasms with ease.  And to think about what you can do to the greens makes even the best putters of the world shudder.  Want soft courses?  Add some moisture to the course, or dry it out for some extra speed.  Fairways and greens can even be customized with mowing patterns, color schemes, and even logos.  It’s a great way to replay courses that you’ve mastered and add a little challenge back to the mix.

A legends tour is the highlight addition to the game modes.  Get your created golfer through a career-type mode, earning money, clothing and equipment along the way.  Hall of Famers stand in your way to becoming a legend yourself, including Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and Ben Hogan, all in the prime of their careers.  They even dress in their old school clothes for some authenticity.

The usual additions have been made to make Tiger Woods a worthy purchase even for gamers who own last year’s version.  Fifteen PGA players including John Daly, Jesper Parnevik, and Vijay Singh are in the game alongside fourteen fantasy players.  Ten new courses join the list, eight of them real PGA courses and two of them fantasy, for a total of fourteen courses.  Gameplay has gotten a much needed overhaul, particularly in the putting and chipping areas to make the game more difficult.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005 will be online for PS2 and Xbox, and ship this September.

Equal Employment Opportunity:

DOL Contract Compliance Reviews Could Better Target Federal Contractors

HEHS-95-177: Published: Sep 28, 1995. Publicly Released: Sep 28, 1995.

Additional Materials:

Carlotta C. Joyner
(202) 512-7002

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs' (OFCCP) oversight of federal contractors' equal employment opportunity (EEO) practices, focusing on: (1) OFCCP fulfillment of its mission and responsibilities; (2) changes in OFCCP resources in recent years; and (3) whether the OFCCP selection procedure for contractor reviews could mask discrimination against specific minority groups.

GAO found that: (1) OFCCP uses compliance reviews which compare the racial and gender composition of the contractor's workforce with those of similar federal contractors to ensure that federal contractors use nondiscriminatory employment practices; (2) when OFCCP identifies EEO violations during its compliance reviews, it resolves the violations by working with the contractors rather than imposing sanctions on the contractors; (3) OFCCP recommends enforcement proceedings only if the contractor does not correct its EEO violation; (4) OFCCP uses 11 percent and 10 percent, respectively, of its enforcement resources for complaint investigations and compliance support; (5) from 1989 to 1994, OFCCP financial and staff resources decreased 9 percent and 15 percent, respectively, and the number of compliance reviews completed decreased by 33 percent; (6) although OFCCP aggregates data on all minority employees in a given contractor's workforce during the initial selection stage of compliance reviews, it may overlook a contractor's discriminatory practices against one or more particular minority groups; and (7) OFCCP uses aggregate data to identify contractors for compliance reviews because the data produce a large enough number of observations for a statistically valid analysis.

Recommendation for Executive Action

  1. Status: Closed - Implemented

    Comments: OFCCP has implemented this recommendation. Beginning with the 1997 run of the Equal Employment Data System (EEDS), which included FY 1996 data, OFCCP incorporated statistical analyses of disaggregated data into EEDS in addition to utilization index and concentration index computations for minorities as a whole.

    Recommendation: In order to reduce the likelihood of overlooking contractors that may discriminate against particular racial groups, OFCCP should use, in targeting contractors for review, existing data on individual minority groups in geographic areas where the minority populations are large enough so that statistically valid analyses can be completed.

    Agency Affected: Department of Labor: Employment Standards Administration: Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs

Can anyone tell me why my courgettes and cucumbers start growing great then the leaves go white just like paper. am getting fresh growth with courgetts and some fruit but have lost all my cucumbers. Many thanks.
03/09/2009 at 18:51
my marrows wont grow any bigger than 8 inches other ppl on the allotment have told me to use shandy because it grows better when watered with because they like beer is this correct
03/09/2009 at 21:07
My courgettes are in the polytunnel and are OK, but my Crown Prince Pumpkin is outside, and most of the female flowers seem to be getting filled with rain before they can get pollinated. Any suggestions Please.
04/09/2009 at 20:02
Thanks for the information. I did not know what was causing the rot, particularly with a bright green club shaped variety. No mildew though.
05/09/2009 at 18:39
We have not had too much rain in the part of sussex where i live and my courgettes have been very good i`ve even sold some to a local restaurant and i only have 2 plants. I just cut off the mildewy leaves.
08/09/2009 at 08:04
Thanks for the info Pippa! We have had this problem, growing courgettes under plastic this year. Do you mean that you remove the flowers and leave the courgettes on the plant to grow more or when the flowers start to rot is it time to remove the courgettes from teh plant? Thanks
08/09/2009 at 18:32
Help - please advise what wood preservative is safe to use on rough wood used for a raised bed. I will be growing fruit and vegetables in this. Thanks.
12/09/2009 at 21:31
My courgettes eventually rotted, although not before getting a good crop. I thought it was blight, as the rot behaved like my blight-riddled toms.
13/09/2009 at 09:15
My courgette leaves have gone grey, at first I thought it was dust but it's getting worse, is this the rot/ mildew people are talking about?
14/09/2009 at 09:30
it certainly sounds as if it is mildew, and cutting off the worst affected leaves will help to limit spread, a lot of gardeners also swear by spraying the infected foliage with milk ! Not tried it myself, as generally I find the mildew arrives pretty late in the season. And yes, it is just the slightly soggy flower that you need to rmeove, not the developing courgette!
25/09/2009 at 14:18
Use some advanced nutrients :)
03/10/2009 at 17:03
iv tried spraying milk on my mildew infested gooseberries and it worked a treat. just diluted, 1part milk to roughly 9parts water, 2applications in a week seemed to clear it right up.easy

Compost bin/cold frame

Posted: 05/03/2013 at 22:39

We've just turned our old slimline waterbutt that was used for collecting water off our shed into a compost bin. The bottom of it cracked last month so rather than throw it out I sawed off the base and have tucked it away next to our new butt, Its already a quarter full , i've put a stout cane inside so I can give it a good old stir.My gardens not large but my compost bin will soon be disguised by a buddlea shrub,

The Return of Gardeners World-8th March

Posted: 05/03/2013 at 22:25

I''ve just recently discovered some gardeners shows on youtube thanks to something DiscoDave wrote somewhere on the forum. I 've watched How to be a gardener with my fav GW presenter Alan Titchmarsh,Bees, Butterflies and Blooms with Sarah Raven,Christines Garden , a bit of Geoff Hamilton with his Paradise Gardens and Montys there also with his Italian Gardens . I also love proud gardeners giving us a guided tour of their own gardens, always have been nosy!

Posted: 05/03/2013 at 21:55

Im a snipper too I used to collect them using a pair of silicone tongs from the pound shop and then bung them in a bucket of water but i'd feel bad when they took so long to drown! So I took advice from my elderly cheeky chappie neighbour and now "cut there flipping heads off ,they won't know nothing its so quick, maid don't be a wuss" Its gotta be a better way to go then being covered in salt or bleach  or poisoned.

At last

Posted: 05/03/2013 at 21:34

Gosh Alan you have had a busy day. After a chilly foggy start to my day the sun finally got going about 10.00 am. After gazing out the window at work longingly wishing I was at home in the garden I  finally got home at 3.00pm I was determined to get gardening. I had a good old time deviding a big clump of daylily and then finding new homes for all the new offsets [some are going to mates gardens] .After that went well I had a go at splitting a hugh pot of agapanthus , tricky or what? I am now in need of a new breadknife and a new pot I guess thats mothers day pressie sorted.It was good to feel the sun on my back  though roll on spring!

Suggestions please

Posted: 19/02/2013 at 09:53

On my shady border I have a climbing rose Compassion with a yellow and cream honeysuckle growing along my fence. When I first moved in my home and began to start a garden money was tight. That first sping I dug new beds improved the soil with grit,sharp sand and well rotted horse poop.Then I sowed annuals on my kitchen windowsill cosmos,sweetpeas, and a beautiful sunflower called Moulin Rouge.  The sunflowers went in my shadier border and were amazing all up the garden they were multi-headed and grew high to find the sun. If you are able to go to any summer fetes church,school,village fayres or car boot sales these are a great way to fill those borders you can get some really healthy rare perrenials for a pound or two.

Suggestions please

Posted: 19/02/2013 at 08:58

What a lucky lady you are with all that space to fill ! Are the beds wide enough to consider a tree or two or some shrubs to give you structure and height to your borders? because you'll want something to look at in winter when the perennials go to ground.How about an apple tree I'd love to have space for one. I have a lilac shrub which I keep pruned to about 7ft so we can enjoy the scented blossom then through it I grow clematis to give it added interest.As for perennials I would agree with Lizzie hardy geraniums are real troupers and flower for months some are evergreen too Wargrave Pink and Buxtons Blue for example. I would also add some low growing perennials ,Prunella Lovely Lilac is great for the bees all these can be devided easily after a couple of years .

Aldi plants

Posted: 18/02/2013 at 17:34

My local Aldi are selling them now and they are selling fast. I picked up some bearded iris [ iris germanica] mixed colours but all my favourites plums,yellows.creams and purples are on the picture. The quality is great three plump ready to sprout rizones for 99p. There is a great selection of bagged bareroots echinacea. hostas,daylillies, lily of the valley all looked good and fresh I just wish I had a bigger garden

new years resolution

Posted: 30/12/2012 at 20:38

Welcome Tracysshed this is a great forum theres always something to make you smile or help you out with a gardening issue you may have. I cannot wait to start sowing next february ,so for now im keeping busy making cushion covers for my old patio chair cushions dreaming of the sun its been so long since we have seen it in rainy soggy Devon!  HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

Why did you all start gardening?

Posted: 30/12/2012 at 20:20

l used to earn a comic (Bunty if l remember right] if l helped my dad with the weeding and hoeing. Then when l was five l was given my own small patch next to the greenhouse where l would grow radishes,lettuce,a few peas l would always eat raw,candytuff flowers l would grow for the faeries to pick! My jobs when l was older was to open the greenhouse vents and door water dads tomatoes and cucumbers ,without an outside tap this meant many trips to and fro from the kitchen with a heavy bucket and watering can.Oh how l hated that greenhouse through my teenage years but l do love homegrown tomatoes!

Then when you finally get your own home and garden you have to keep it nice to fit in with the neighbours then when you really get the gardening bug you wish to outdo the neighbours(or is this just me?)then you have children and you want to show them the magic of nature and where fruit/veg and flowers come from.

Ooh I love a bargain!

Posted: 29/12/2012 at 19:57

Artjak , it is easy to adore alliums they really earn their space in my garden. l also have allium Purple Sensation and some deep plum alliums [altropurpleum maybe]  but for 50p a pack l couldn't resist six more, greedy l know but the bulbs were massive and l guess they will flower later than all my others.

Gardengirl, l love bargains for my garden.l've had some great buys before roses for a pound from the tlc section that are now splendid specimans one called Valentine Heart that is a pretty scented pink.l have some fab plants l have got from school/church/village fetes that l've been able to devide and dot about my garden.l grow much from seed starting them off on my kitchen windowsill, sweetpeas you will get free in GW magazine are always wonderful,l save seed from year to year,and once you've had nigella,forget me nots,foxgloves.honesty and poppies in your garden they're there for life.

    Between my family we’ve had more prepaid credit cards over time than I can count, including Netspend, Greendot, etc. But, the last few years I have found that one is the best for us AccountNow Visa. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and smooth to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) AccountNow Visa’s are.

King + Duke Restaurant Review

: Ford Fry’s King + Duke takes its name from a duo of characters in Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." E.J. Hodgkinson, a native of California who has done executive chef duty in two other Atlanta establishments, serves in that capacity here. The stylish open kitchen with its 24-foot wood-burning hearth roasts many of the restaurant's provisions, including meats and produce. The place was designed for grilling, so start by sharing the roasted bone marrow spread with short rib marmalade on grilled bread. Even fruit gets roasted, such as the roasted grapes accompanying roast pork; roast lobster is served with brown butter, citrus and almonds. We also liked the translucent roasted scallops. Intended for two, the whole roasted chicken (half a chicken may be ordered) and the one kilo rib-eye merit special attention. Grilling sometimes continues through to dessert, where we've enjoyed panna cotta with grilled peaches, cornmeal shortbread and Crackerjack ice cream (we could eat a whole bowlful). But these, too, will change seasonally. The smart wine list offers many choices by the glass that go with the food, and numerous fine options are available by the bottle at good prices.

Matthew Rush and Roman Rivers

You never want to rush a good thing. We know all about that on as we entertain Matthew Rush this week. This week Matt’s gonna help us welcome a new face to the MenOver30 fold, sexy Roman Rivers. Getting acquainted is gonna get these two in trouble as Matt puts Roman’s hand on his pec and encourages him to explore his curiosity.

Roman then sits down as Matt stands before him and hauls out his thick cock. He licks at that swollen knob before going down on it. He looks up at Matt with those bedroom brown eyes as he worships his meat. Matt then sits down and slides Roman’s shorts off. Matt takes that hard cock in his mouth sending Roman into orbit as his throbbing cock finally gets the attention it’s needed.

Roman soon finds himself on all four as Matt’s tongue explores that sweet ass of his. He spreads those beefy cheeks apart as he tongue fucks that hole. Matt is soon groaning as that tight ass wraps around his rock hard cock. He bends Roman over and goes right to tappin’ that ass. They then go missionary as Matt holds those soccer legs in the air before zeroing in on that ass he wants more of.

He shoves his cock back inside and picks up where he left off. At this pace it won’t be long before these two cream. Roman’s jerking his cock off as Matt fucks him harder. That does the trick as they dismount and jack off side by side sending their thick loads flying all over themselves.

Sweet Tarte: Taking Inside-Out Beauty to Heart

By: Karen A. Newman
Posted: August 26, 2008, from the October 2007 issue of GCI Magazine.

Maureen Kelly arrives at a Midtown Manhattan restaurant for a scheduled interview, glowing and wearing a smile that should be protected by trademark or other legal device. She quickly reveals that the glow comes in part from her second pregnancy. The rest of it surely comes from her passion for the beauty business and the success of her own growing enterprise. The creator and CEO of tarte cosmetics is having a very busy year, but from the look of things, she thrives on it. Kelly is accompanied by tarte vice president Alexis Mezzina DiResta, who exhibits her own kind of energy, leaving little doubt that this duo is a force to be reckoned with.

The company got its start back in 1999 in Kelly’s one bedroom New York apartment. Its first product, a cheek stain, was designed as an alternative to available stains that Kelly says streaked and were generally difficult to use. The latest-generation cheek stain launched recently, and incorporates some of Kelly’s new thinking in response to trends she feels strongly about: the new stain is all natural and preservative-free. What’s more, the colors come from tarte’s proprietary t-5 super berry antioxidant blend. So, how did tarte grow from its first cheek stain to proprietary blends in just a few years?

Business 101

The number and range of products in the tarte line suggest a passion for product development, an area where Kelly and DiResta make no bones about how their current process differs from the early days. Back in the day, they would find a unique packaging component and decide which product would work best in it. “This actually helped us create some great products in a really organic way,” says DiResta. “It helped us to think outside of the box, which I think is crucial for a young company.” Today, function comes first, starting with selecting a great formula and adding skin-benefiting ingredients. Their focus is on delivering a consistent message about the ingredients they use and matching up a great formula with packaging that DiResta says is chic, user-friendly and visually supports the message they’re trying to send. Kelly elaborates saying they have refined their process over the years to a set of questions relating to new products. The main focus of the questions is whether the packaging is aspirational and fashion forward and whether it is derived from healthy, natural ingredients. The importance of refining their product development process is just one of the important lessons the pair have learned over the years, and not all have been learned on the job.

Both Kelly and DiResta acknowledge the influence of some important men in their lives on the success of tarte. Kelly cites her husband, who, despite being educated at a top business school and possessing a widely varied business background, believes that humility and being a team player are the most important leadership qualities. “He is forever encouraging me to see things from my team’s point of view and to be a good listener, so I have multiple opinions before I make a decision,” she says.

DiResta gets her passion for work, and for marketing in particular, from her dad, and says they both enjoy analyzing the DNA of a brand. But the most important lesson she’s learned from her father echoes the guidance given by Kelly’s husband. “He just has an innate sense of fairness, and was always putting the well-being of the company and the employees before his own,” she says. DiResta says people remember her father because he listens to what they have to say and truly takes their opinions to heart. “As a manager, I really try to emulate him in that respect.” DiResta is grateful to Kelly, too, for insisting she attend a broad range of meetings, including PR and product development, from the moment she joined tarte in the very early days of the organization.

How do you get people to buy more stuff on e-commerce Web sites? That’s the $1 million question, literally. RichRelevance and are offering the $1 million RecLab Prize — aimed at academics and other geeks — for the team that builds the most powerful online recommendation engine.

The idea is to create advanced algorithms which help online retailers more accurately show products that might be of interest to the individual shopper. Obviously, there’s big money to be made in personalized product recommendations, a concept that helped pioneer. In 2009, Netflix offered a similar $1 million prize related to movie recommendations.

RichRelevance Chief Scientist Darren Vengroff, a former principal engineer at, tells GeekWire that researchers competing for the prize will be able run their recommendation algorithms against live shopper traffic for the first time.

“We want to advance the state of the art by enabling really smart people in academia to work on some very interesting real-world problems,” said Vengroff, who works out of the company’s Seattle office.

In a lot of cases, Vengroff said that researchers work on the best approximations to the real world that they can find. However, in many cases, those situations miss key elements of context and feedback.

“The RecLab approach finally solves this problem by bringing their code to the data rather than releasing the data into the wild,” he says. “When we advance the state of the art in this way, Overstock benefits, RichRelevance benefits, and the contest winners obviously benefit as well.”

The prize will be awarded to the team that builds an algorithm that delivers a 10 percent or greater lift over existing product recommendations on Nominations close on December 1, with the winners to be announced next March. has worked with RichRelevance since 2009, using the technology to more accurately predict what people may want to buy.

    I pitched the idea to a real smart friend from University who had done plenty of research in statistics and finance, and who could probably figured this out with his eyes closed,  but he was not interested. The reason is, in my friend’s words – “The math behind data mining is kinda interesting, but it pretty much falls into ‘The best minds of my generation are thinking about how to make people click ad’s”. Very true, and unfortunate too. I wonder whether a 3-5mm price tag would have generated a different response..

  • Harry Zisopoulos

    So in the world we are living, building a highly-accurate recommendation system is priced the same as any of the Clay Institute problems. I am dissapointed.

You’ve now got a new way to pay for that tall vanilla decaf latte. Starbucks and Square today formally rolled out their partnership, allowing coffee lovers a new way to pay for their java.

All Things D notes that Square’s mobile payment system is now available at 7,000 stores. Starbucks invested $25 million in Square in August, with Howard Schultz joining the board.

As you can see in the video above, Square allows customers to pay for their specialized drink by simply scanning a barcode at the checkout counter. The Square app links to the user’s credit cor debit card and lets them pay via the app. Capabilities of the app include automatically opening a digital “tab” in the app when walking in the door of a participating store.

And, as we noted last month, digital tipping is coming to the service later next year.

Square’s Jack Dorsey, a co-founder of Twitter, Tweeted this evening: “Starbucks is now on Square! Get your wallet and buy a coffee.”

What do you think? Will you try Square at your local Starbucks?

The Square mobile wallet is available on both iOS and Android, with Tricia Duryee at All Things D noting that Starbucks customers will see the app automatically at participating stores.

While Apple famously says that it doesn’t care about the market share of its products, the company’s mobile market share in the U.S. has grown, following record sales in its holiday quarter.

According to a new report by ComScore, Apple’s cut of the mobile market in the U.S. grew by one percent in the three month period ending in January of this year, while BlackBerry and Android both saw their market share shrink by half a percentage point. Windows Phone is now the third-largest mobile operating system in the country because of BlackBerry’s continued decline, even though Microsoft’s mobile offering didn’t show any market share growth.

While the report looks dire for BlackBerry now, it looks like the embattled Canadian smartphone maker will have rougher waters ahead. 94 percent of people who took advantage of a T-Mobile promotion that allowed BlackBerry users to trade in their old handsets for $200 in credit towards a new phone chose to buy something other than a BlackBerry.

A chart showing OEM smartphone market share

Samsung and Apple both remain at the top of the OEM food chain, gaining 1.3 percent and 1 percent market share respectively over the three-month period ComScore measured. LG jumped into third place with a slight market share gain, overtaking its two closest competitors. Despite positive reviews of its flagship phone, HTC continues to flounder, sinking to the bottom of the table with a slight 5.4 percent of the total U.S. market.

Motorola’s share of the market also shrank as Google agreed to sell it to Lenovo for $2.91 billion. While Lenovo is a major player in the smartphone market outside the U.S., the company hasn’t brought any of its offerings stateside. Given the fierce competition in the Android ecosystem, it will be interesting to see what happens, assuming Motorola’s sale is met with regulatory approval.

    There is no doubt BlackBerry has a mountain to climb, but your reporting of the T-Mobile report is immature. First of all, T mobile refused to give actual figures from a very short blitz sale. Second, they only offered REFURBISHED Z10’s and Q10’s. Who wants a refurbished phone? Third, t-mobile does their best to steer customers away from BlackBerry. BlackBerry 10 is by far the best operating system and will gain some traction with their new CEO. Going to take a few years though.

  • guest

    Wow, way to kick someone when they’re down. You feel better about yourself Blair? What’s your motive to write a piece like this?

When looking at audience, Yammer is to an Intranet what Twitter is for your public website. It allows your employees to talk in a more dynamic way than email/meetings making things faster.

Different from Twitter, Yammer allows you to create groups and also invite external people to join the network.

It's very different from LinkedIn.

We use it, and I would say that it's a good way to share interesting articles/ideas etc. But it's also only as good as the buy-in from your employees. If no-one uses it, it's of pretty limited value.

Also a real shame that their desktop/app clients are pretty poor.

Composites Automation Cuts Production Time Down to Hours

Over the next few years, GE Aviation will introduce more new engine platforms than it has in the past few decades. This will bring about unprecedented demands on engine production that will require higher degrees of speed and efficiency. Automation will play a key role in helping the Aviation business keep pace.

At GE’s Michigan Technology Center and at our Global Research Center in Munich, GE engineers are developing sophisticated new automated processes to rapidly produce complex, large-scale composite parts for future aircraft engine platforms. These processes involve the use of large robotic arms with more than a dozen spools spinning out fiber in precise, predetermined patterns to form a part.

Advanced composite materials, born in the labs at GE Global Research, are being used in an increasing number of GE products where their unique combination of properties such as high strength, low density and fatigue resistance help to increase performance.

GE was the first to introduce composite parts into an aircraft engine platform in 1995 with the GE90-115B fan blade. The fan blade is a work of art, with each stripe of composite material laid by hand to form its aerodynamic shape. In fact, one has been displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

One of the first applications for automation will be the production of containment cases for GE Aviation’s Passport 20 engine, which is being designed for large-cabin, long-range business jets. GE engineers already have produced several test fan cases using this method. Very soon, GE Aviation will bring the technology in-house, and begin producing containment cases at a plant in Batesville, Mississippi.

Trash into treasure, waste pickers speak at COP 17
Written by Florence Sipalla | 04 December 11

Have you ever looked at his or her face? (S)he is always dressed in some darkish clothes, with many stains, carrying the ubiquitous sack, or is it a black polythene bag? Yes, may find it difficult to remember the person's face, since you usually see only a hunched over back and hands rustling and rummaging through your trash. When you peek out your window or walk by, it's uncomfortable, isn't it?

It's like the confessor who does not need to absolve you, just wants to sift through and thoroughly examine everything you discard, piece by piece. Sometimes an adult, sometimes a child, female or male - but always there when you put out your trash for collection, or when it gets to the landfill after the waste company collects it from your front door.

However, this seemingly voiceless person has a voice. (S)he belongs to a group of waste pickers who are represented at COP 17 in Durban. The South African Waste Pickers Association (SAWPA) hosted a session where waste pickers from different parts of the globe converged to share ideas and strategies to secure their jobs while saving the environment.

Even as the presenters spoke in four languages, English, Hindi, Portuguese and Zulu, the waste pickers united as one people and could not be bogged down by officialdom. They are part of the COP 17 proceedings; they are proud of their work and are keen to share solutions on some of the challenges women and men encounter in waste disposal.

Waste management in urban areas is increasingly becoming a source of employment for community members, in particular women. The income earned from selling waste supports families, sends children to school, and pays for health services for the family.

However, the waste pickers at COP 17 raised their voice, protesting the entry of big corporations in the business of waste collection, saying that taking away this entrepreneurial activity may destroy fragile livelihoods. These activities can include buying and selling household garbage, re-using and recycling waste materials, and collecting and disposing of human and solid wastes in a safe manner.

According to the speakers, despite being an essential service, waste picking is still undervalued and both women and men involved receive minimal income. Yet the job requires them to collect waste, sort through it manually and sometimes clean it.

The waste pickers also outlined that there are health and safety concerns. For example, there is very little security for women at landfill sites. This unregulated space leaves women prone to sexual abuse, sexual harassment, and rape. Sometimes men use sexual harassment to push women out of this line of economic activity.

The waste pickers also do not have protective clothing. Toxic waste from industrial sites and hospitals are a threat to the health of waste pickers. For example, health institutions at times do not follow proper procedures for discarding dangerous waste, such as syringes, which end up in landfills.

However, the waste pickers offered solutions to the waste management problem. The say that local government should empower waste pickers to impart knowledge to households on how best to dispose of waste, thereby increasing the quality and value of the waste material they collect. Once integrated into local government waste collection programmes, waste pickers can have a regular monthly income.

No documentation exists on the gender specific health risks of working with waste materials and government should invest in research. Often, people who have physical contact with raw waste materials contract diseases like hepatitis and diarrhoea and suffer eye and skin infections. Thus, the gender division of labour in this profession and the health risks thereof are essential to understand.

A gender-sensitive project approach and a clear commitment to gender equity and the empowerment of women are critical in waste management. Thorough approaches and attention to gender can increase project effectiveness, avoid costly mistakes, and ensure equitable access to livelihoods, resources or benefits, resulting from which waste management.
