About meA small, feisty cantaloupe who reads. Major enthusiasms seem to run on a near-annual cycle and have lately included Sherlock Holmes, Victorian pastiche, sea novels, the Napoleonic Wars, and Doctor Who, but rarely all at once.
About my libraryI use LT as a reading log. I kept fairly good paper records as far back as 1997, so I've entered what I have listed and have given ratings to the best of my ability. Tags with dates prior to 1997 are best guesses.

Update on power outages in Wayne County
- Updated: November 1, 2012
THURSDAY, Nov. 1, 2012:
There are nearly 600 RG&E customers in Wayne County still without power.
The company estimates that it could be Friday night at midnight before everyone is restored. With that in mind the Red Cross will open at least three shelters in Wayne County to assist those without power.
They will be located at: St John's Church, 54 W. Main St., Sodus; Second Baptist Church, 3689 Main St., Walworth; Lighthouse Community Fellowship, Route 89 in South Butler.
There is a possibility there will be more shelters opening in Wolcott, Williamson and Savannah. Please call the Red Cross at (315) 331-3783.
There will be someone there to answer the phone through this outage. RG&E also has agreed to supply dry ice to those without power — the Wayne County Emergency Management office will coordinate the distribution with the Red Cross.
The Red Cross will likely be going door to door in affected areas, alerting residents.

Wow, things sure happen fast around here :). When I started taking pictures of my cooks, DSLRs were still well over $1,000 so I started using Canon G-series cameras. They are prosumer point and shoots with features borrowed from the SLR/DSLR's: Hot shoe for a detachable flash, they use the chip from the low end Canon DSLRs and they have a foldout viewfinder screen like many camcorders. Makes taking food photos from any angle quick and easy. I liked the results from the G-Series models so much I never bought a DSLR when the price dropped below $1,000. They are fun to use, take good pictures and are easy to bring anywhere you go. I am on my 3rd model with my current one being the G-11.r270ba said:Looks great! What kind of camera do you shoot with?

Gonzalez: Spahn Award a way to thank Nationals GM RizzoBy JEFF LATZKE
The Associated Press | January 18,2013AP Photo
Washington Nationals pitcher Gio Gonzalez poses for a photo as he is honored with the Warren Spahn Award, given annually to baseballs top lefty, during a news conference Thursday in Oklahoma City.OKLAHOMA CITY Gio Gonzalez got bounced around a lot early in his career before eventually winding up with a home in Washington.
Constantly involved in trades between playoff contenders, Gonzalez was grateful when Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo acquired him from Oakland and then signed him to a five-year, $42 million contract before last season.
He hopes some of that gratitude showed Thursday when he picked up the Warren Spahn Award as baseballs top left-handed pitcher.
When he picked me up and traded for me, he didnt question anything I had none of my abilities. He just said, Lets get him a contract. Lets keep him here. We want him. That to me meant all the world to me, Gonzalez said.
It felt like I needed to prove something not to him, but to represent him very proudly. This is my way of saying, Thank you and proving to whoever doubted the situation or any of my abilities.
Gonzalez finished the season with a 21-8 record, a 2.89 ERA and 207 strikeouts to win the award that is decided purely on statistics. It is named after Warren Spahn, the top-winning lefty in baseball history.
Theres already one best lefty in baseball, and thats Warren Spahn, I think to follow in those footsteps, its an honor.
Gonzalez hopes the award isnt the last time hes associated with Spahn. He broke into the majors with Oakland in 2008 and has improved his win total, ERA and strikeout-to-walk ratio in each season so far.
His career got better as he got older, Gonzalez said. He won all those trophies: a 17-time All-Star, 363 wins. And remember, hes also a war vet, also a Purple Heart. Theres so much history about the man. I would love to walk in those shoes.
Its hard to fill them up but I would love to walk right behind him.
Gonzalez finished third in voting for the National League Cy Young Award, behind R.A. Dickey and fellow lefty Clayton Kershaw. Kershaw was the 2011 winner of the Cy Young and the Spahn Award.
David Price, the 2010 Spahn Award winner, was this years AL Cy Young winner.
I think thats the ultimate goal as a left-handed pitcher to reach. A Cy Young is beautiful but a Warren Spahn is just as nice, Gonzalez said.
Gonzalez was the Game 1 starter for the Nationals in the NL division series after Stephen Strasburg was shut down late in the season. Washington was eliminated in five games squandering a two-run lead in the ninth inning of Game 5 after a celebrated season that brought playoff baseball back to the nations capital for the first time in decades.
We had such great guys, Gonzalez said. Our rotation was unbelievable, our offense was incredible. Our defense, a couple of Gold Gloves. A couple of Silver Sluggers. I think our team numbers proved it. We had the Rookie of the Year. We had a bunch of guys that won so many awards.
This, to me, was the icing on the cake.MORE IN Wire SportsARLINGTON, Texas LeSean McCoy ran for 159 yards a touchdown, Mark Sanchez had his first scoring...

Uncomfortable stay
This is an acceptable hotel; however, the need for ac was realized, but they do not have it running during the fall or winter season so it was very comfortable. Of course, we tried to leave the window open and the abundance of noise was
overwhelming. Hence, the location was great, but the sauna like room and/or noisy alley during the fall season is something to evaluate for future guests.
Would not recommend
add'l night on back end of our europe cruise
This hotel was just a block off Las Ramblas and that's where you want to be in Barcelona. It was fine for a night. The bed was hard as a rock, the walls are paper thin and you can hear every noise including conversations from neighboring rooms.
Apparently, europeans are very energy conscience. You can't turn on the lights without your room key and the a/c never gets below 80 degrees farenheit. The staff was there in body only. They didn't seem to much care about you or their jobs and just answered questions in a terse almost insulting way. I wouldn't stay here for more than a night or two and only for the location. It was terrific!
Have tapas and sangria at a small restaurant on a boat dockside right off the pier. Take a cab down to the Chris Columbus monument and turn left about a half mile.

Lisa Ann is in the news unexpectedly this week, as the 42-year-old porn star is hooking up with Justin Brent, a freshman football player for Notre Dame!
The couple raised eyebrows at the New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, where she was all over the 19-year-old and not trying to hide it.
This wasn't just an Instagram photo op, either. It was an official date.
They reportedly met earlier this year while Lisa (best known to some as the Sarah Palin porn look-alike) was traveling, and SHE made the first move.
Cougar style. Hey, when you're Lisa Ann, you can pull that off.
She's also very well aware that her actions caused controversy and debate on social media. The sex queen fired off a number of Tweets on the topic:

text: Last month I took my son for a check up. They said he was behind on shots. I thought okay I missed a shot or two. They came in to vax him and ended up giving him six shots. He was screaming and it took four adults to hold down my four yr old. It was bad. Then his arm's and legs were bruised and swollen for weeks. One arm still is a bit swollen. I started thinking about why I vax my kids. I have four and have always vaxed. I decided I never want to give them any new vaccines that are coming out until I know more about them. The school still says my four yr old needs two more shots. I don't think I want him to have them. It's funny because when my second child was born early I was convinced he needed all these extra shots. We went for RSV twice a month, he got extra pneumonia shots that were not recommended

Born in Oakland, raised in Hong Kong and Hawaii, Nicholas graduated from the University of Southern California with degrees in film directing and screenwriting, concurrently receiving awards from the Academy Nicholl Fellowship, American Zoetrope and American Screenwriting Association for his psychological tour-de-force, Needle & Ink.
Right out of school, Nicholas' first short film Real Fiction won the 2008 Panavision New Filmmaker Award, and the momentum catapulted him to direct TV and web pilots for E!, MTV, CBS and Bravo Networks, as well as commercials for Procter & Gamble, BMW, BET, and FOX. Nicholas has also written feature screenplays for Lions Gate, DreamWorks and Lifetime Networks.
A child of the MTV generation, Nicholas' interests naturally progressed into music videos. Captivated by the medium's ability to evoke emotion through a synergy of visual narrative and song, he enthusiastically embraced the format and has worked with labels as Sony Music, RCA and Universal Music Group, shooting for artists Nicole Scherzinger, Anthrax, S.A.F. and more. His work has been featured in The Huffington Post, The Advocate, IndieWire and Variety.
Based in Los Angeles, Nicholas is developing two feature films to direct, a coming-of-age drama with producer Geoffrey Stott (Free Birds, The Book of Life), and an action-thriller with producers Christian Roedel and Joseph Izzo (Puss In Boots, How to Train Your Dragon) and legendary cinematographer Christopher Doyle H.K.S.C.

DavidGilmour.Com brings news about the new promised Fender Gilmour Strat. Initial plans were to release the guitar in early 2008 but now they have decided to issue a model in due with the upcoming DVD in medio September! Estimated price tag is $4000.
David Gilmour Signature Strat!
Skreddy Pedals review
I've had the pleasure of trying out some of the most talked about pedals on the net, – Skreddy Pedals. They've caught the Gilmour enthusiast's attention with nicknames like "Pinkmour", claiming to catch the very essence of Gilmour's tone. I just had to check this out…
Interview with Tim Renwick!
You might only know him from playing with Pink Floyd, but Tim Renwick has played with them all. His résumé is a long list of top selling bands and artists and his reputation among fellow musicians is right up there with Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler and David Gilmour. I'm very proud to share this interview I recently did with Tim Renwick.
Reverb – good or bad?
Reverb can make a dry toneless guitar sound like something an angel played in a huge cathedral. It's the tool of every producer making the music sound alive on record. Yet, reverb can also kill your tone and make every effort of producing the greatest tone on earth seem like a complete waste. In this article I'll try to share some views on a topic that often cause a lot of debate.
The Telecasters
Although David is mostly associated with the Stratocaster, he has always been a big fan of Telecasters. His very first "Floyd" guitar was a Telecaster and over the years, David has recorded and performed numerous songs with this classic guitar.
The article takes a look at all of David's Telecasters, from the blonde he used when joining Floyd to the Custom Shop model seen on his latest tour. You will also learn more about David's more famous Telecasters, like the 1959 Custom used on Dogs and the legendary 1955 Esquire, seen on the About Face album cover. Crank Run Like Hell on your iPod and enjoy!
The Bill Lewis Guitar
We all know the story about how Gilmour used a custom designed guitar to reach the high tones on the Money solo from Dark Side of the Moon and most of us has also seen the guitar in action on the studio footage from Live at Pompeii. The Bill Lewis guitar is one of the most talked about in David's collection; still the details about its origins are rarely documented.
David visited Bill Lewis and tried one of his guitars when Pink Floyd played in Vancouver, Canada, on October 9th 1970. Later that same month, Bill's wife met Gilmour (and Bill) at the airport in San Fransisco where he got the guitar. The earliest footage of David using the Lewis is from Copenhagen, Denmark, November 12th 1970. It's seen in action on several performances throughout November and December, notably on a French TV-show at ORTF-TV Studios in Paris 4. and 5. of December.The guitar made its studio debut during spring/summer 1971 when David used it to record the solo on Echoes and of course he used it to record the last part of the solo on Money in 1973. The Lewis is still in David's possession and was last seen on the BBC Classic Albums Dark Side of the Moon documenray (2003) and at the Pink Floyd Interstellar Exhibition in Paris, France, in 2004.
I'm very pleased to share the following article written exclusively for Gilmourish.Com by former Bill Lewis' colleague, Mark Fornataro.
"The Lewis custom guitar, designed by Bill Lewis of Vancouver, played a significant role in the recording of Dark Side of the Moon. David Gilmour's Lewis, built for him in 1970, has the very rare 24 accessible frets. The fret spacing was worked out with the use of a computer, which back in the late 60s, when the guitar had its debut – was also rare. This allowed for better accuracy than usual, in terms of pitch, and of course the full 2 octaves on the high E string allowed Gilmour to reach notes unattainable on his Strat. The extra wide fingerboard which flattened out by the 24th fret is also a great advantage for bending notes.
Jimmy Page, who has a Lewis guitar, wrote me 1992, referring to the guitar as "quite revolutionary". Not the least of these revolutionary features were Lewis' own humbucking pick-ups which were cast in resin using a vacuum system, the first time pick-ups were designed in such a way; they are capable of a very clean sound with great sustain (David's guitar also had switches on each pickup for humbucker and single coil options. – Bjorn). Another first, a trade secret at the time, was the neck design through the incorporation of two parallel rectangular steel bars running the length of the neck and epoxied beneath the fretboard for stability. This allowed for a very fast neck; much thinner than guitars of its time. Gilmour's guitar is built of a single piece of Honduras mahogany, an ebony fingerboard and Schaller heads. The snap-off back made for easy accessibility to the electronic components."
"The Lewis guitar first gained notoriety in Vancouver on August 9 1969 when Eric Clapton used one for an entire Blind Faith concert. The Vancouver Sun published a picture of him using it on August 11. After Bill Lewis started getting more orders for it luthier Mark Wilson and I were the only two working full-time handbuilding them. Wilson had suggested approaching Clapton. I started working with Lewis in October 1969 and got on the promotion bandwagon, suggesting approaching Gilmour and was thrilled to see him trying one out in the store in 1970. I remember he had his little finger hooked around the volume control, rocking it back and forth, thus producing an amazingly even vibrato. Mark Wilson died very young in the early 70s and the guitar which had always been a special labour of love, never mass-produced, went out of production. Bill Lewis, a master luthier who also made great acoustic guitars and had given a keynote address at a luthier's convention, died in 1996 at age 61, leaving a legacy to be proud of." (by Mark Fornataro © 2007)
Happy Birthday David!
Please join me in congratulating David Gilmour with his birthday! Put on your favourite guitar solo and eat some cake!
It's strange to think about that it's a year to this date that David released On an Island and some of us even had some tickets for a concert on the tour. What a fantastic year from a fantastic artist! Happy birthday David!

Since last December, when UL brought Mark Hudspeth aboard in its latest effort to breathe life into its football program, Hudsepth has preached to anyone who would listen that there was nothing wrong with the Ragin' Cajuns that hard work and positive thinking wouldn't fix.
Many rolled their eyes, having seen over and over how this act played out. The desperate ones, those who would clutch at any thread that might have a life preserver at the end, hoped only for respectability this season.
Those groups now walk arm-and-arm on home Saturdays, following the Cajuns as they walk down Reinhardt Drive, a couple of hours before their now-beloved warriors find a way to conjure up another win.
Their delirium knows few boundaries now, and why not? The Cajuns are 5-1 for the first time in almost a quarter-century, having won five in a row, and their only loss came to an Oklahoma State team that could be playing for the national championship in New Orleans in January.
Most expected Hudspeth's team to be 1-5 at this point while hopefully showing some improvement that could translate into more success over the next few seasons. The pre-season pundits put the win total between one and three, and one magazine tabbed the Cajuns as the worst of the nation's 120 Football Bowl Subdivision teams.
Athlon's College Football magazine quoted an unnamed opposing Sun Belt Conference assistant coach thusly: "I hope Mark Hudspeth knows what he's doing. He is taking over one of the worst teams in the nation." (For the sake of disclosure, I wrote Athlon's Sun Belt preview section, but I don't know the source of the unattributed quotes that were added to each team's profile. I giddily report that several of the quotes have already been proven wrong.)
Fortunately, the hyper-active Hudspeth didn't believe the clippings, and more important, he convinced his red-jerseyed squad that the naysayers were wrong. And now they're Louisiana's best football story that doesn't involve an off-campus bar fight.
Halfway through the season, the Cajuns have already beaten both of last year's Sun Belt co-champions and the two teams picked to finish one-two in this year's title chase. One of those wins came on the road at Florida International – a team that's already beaten Big East and Conference USA teams and the popular pick to win the league.
I didn't think FIU would win this year's trophy. I thought Troy was still the best and most athletic team in the Sun Belt, right up until the final moments of UL's 31-17 victory over the Trojans Saturday night.
Troy still may have the best athletes among Sun Belt football teams now, but there is no question as to which team in the league is doing a better job of finding ways to win.
The starting quarterback, one who threw for 329 yards a week earlier, leaves in the first series Saturday with a sprained ankle. No problem: enter Chris Masson, who replaced Blaine Gautier and hit 21-of-29 passes for 211 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. The Cajuns haven't had an interception in three games.
Opponents can't say the same. When Melvin White returned an interception for a stunning 89-yard touchdown moments before halftime, it completed the superfecta for the UL secondary this year. Each of the Cajun starting defensive backs has now returned an interception for a touchdown this season. But White's may have been the biggest of the four, since it gave the Cajuns a stunning 24-3 lead. His run through several Troy would-be tacklers was a "give-up" play for the visitors, effectively snapping whatever swords, spears and other weapons the Trojans brought to Cajun Field to continue their five-year dominance over the UL squad.
It's hard to fathom that, halfway through the season, the Cajuns are one win from bowl eligibility and two wins from a winning season – that's happened once since 1995. Seven victories would almost certainly earn a bowl bid – and that's never happened since UL moved to major-college status.
Things can change quickly. UL has to go on the road four times in its last five games, and this week's Homecoming opponent, North Texas, beat a Big 10 team three weeks ago and led Florida Atlantic 31-3 after three quarters last Saturday before winning by the same score that the Cajuns beat Troy.
But it does bear mentioning that the Cajuns' last six opponents have a combined 10-23 record.
Besides, after nine months of preaching the power of positive thinking, you get the idea that Hudsepth and his team are just getting warmed up.
NOV 21 Bobby Jindal is headed to Iowa again, the Des Moines Register reports here. The paper outlines what's going on with Bobby's non-campaign for president, and there's a lot of stuff here -- too bad none of it sounds like somebody running Louisiana. Hey, wasn't that the job he wanted?
NOV 21 The end of the term has come for the grand jury investigating a lucrative Medicaid contract and a former state health official's ties to the company that won it, the Advocate reports here, but that doesn't mean the investigation into this stinkiness is over. There are still some things to look into, the lead prosecutor says.
NOV 21 With the passage of two amendments to Louisiana's much-amended constitution (it has been amended almost 200 times now) higher education has an even bigger target on its collective back, columnist Jim Beam opines in this post. Higher ed used to share the spotlight with health care, but that has changed, he says.
NOV 21 Here's a weird one: The Louisiana Cannabis Industry Association has endorsed Bill Cassidy for the U.S. Senate. Apparently, Mary Landrieu said she wouldn't consider support of medical marijuana but Cassidy said he would, WWL reports here.
NOV 21 Solange Knowles, possibly best-known for assaulting her brother-in-law in an elevator while wearing an ugly dress after the Met Ball, got married in the Marigny Opera House this past weekend, the New York Times reports here. Knowles, who has a house in the Faubourg Marigny district and owns a boutique in the Quarter, married Alan Ferguson.
NOV 21 This post on the Fuel Fix blog outlines a $1.4 billion move announced this week by the Apache Corp. that includes the sale of assets in south Louisiana. The company's interests in more than 90,000 acres in south Louisiana are some of the assets being sold, the post reports.
NOV 21 One (possible) positive from Hurricane Katrina is a comprehensive zoning ordinance for New Orleans. Nine years later, we're getting closer to that being finalized, but the current version has some problems. Here's the latest in a series of posts on The Lens in which residents give their views of the draft; this one is more amusing than most.
NOV 21 The new NOLA smoking ordinance is going to harsh your (nicotine) buzz, man. This post on Gambit outlines the high (or low, as the case may be) points: it includes electronic cigarettes and hookahs in its bans; eliminates smoking within 25 feet of any building's public entrance and in any public space - or near any public space - operated by the city.
NOV 20 Here's an interesting article in the New York Times. The authors have picked one dish to represent each state in a Thanksgiving meal. Louisiana's dish? Shrimp stuffed mirlitons.
NOV 20 Politico reports here that Bobby Jindal won't be kept out of the presidential race by anyone else's candidacy. (If he's running, which he's not, 'cause he's not done prayin' on it) So he's not interested in who is running, or what the polls say, or how much money he's got? K.
NOV 20 NOLA Defender's Tiny Daiquiri has a little fun with Bobby Jindal's Meet the Press appearance in this post. Bobby is still prayin' on whether or not he'll run for the job he's been running for over the past three years, Tiny says.

An hour for our Earth: Orphans from Pertubuhan Kebajikan Nurhati joining in the Earth Hour programme at Zoo Negara.
KUALA LUMPUR: The Kuala Lumpur mayor has pledged to ride his bicycle to work for five days consecutively if at least 150 buildings here switch off their lights for an hour.
If that takes place, Datuk Seri Ahmad Phesal Talib said he would cycle from his house at Bukit Tunku to his office at Jalan Raja Laut next month.
"Whoever wants to torture the mayor, please accept my challenge in participating in turning off their lights for an hour," he said before launching Earth Hour Kuala Lumpur at Plaza KLCC last night.
He said last year he only offered to cycle for a day if 50 buildings turned off their lights.
"But a total of 86 buildings turned off their lights," he said.
He hoped more than 150 buildings would participate this time.
He also expressed hope that more new buildings would use green technology to decrease energy use.
Yesterday, Kuala Lumpur joined 7,000 cities in 152 countries throughout the world to switch off their lights for an hour at 8.30 pm.
Besides Ahmad Phesal, singer-songwriter Craig David, singer Rick Astley and Petronas CEO and president Tan Sri Shamsul Azhar Abbas pressed a button to switch off the lights of the towers during the event.
Eventually, all 88 floors on both towers went dark for the hour.
Also in conjunction with Earth Hour, a music fiesta was held at SSTwo Mall while an hour-long vocal and dance performance by the UKM Green Lung Society was held at the Sungei Wang Plaza concourse stage.
Restaurants at Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa featured a "Lights Off at Dinner" dining experience, while The Curve shopping centre organised a three-and-a-half hour-long candlelight dining experience along its food and beverage stretch at The Street.
Avid stargazers attended an event organised by the National Planetarium, while cycling enthusiasts participated in the Shah Alam City Council's night cycling programme at Dataran Shah Alam.

NAPLES-- A local man accused of killing his family wants to represent himself during his first-degree murder trial.
Collier County Circuit Judge Frank Baker on Friday told 34-year-old Mesac Damas he will consider the request after he undergoes a third mental evaluation. Two previous mental evaluations have offered conflicting evidence regarding Damas' competency to stand trial. The judge said the third psychologist's report will act as a "tie breaker."
While being led out of the courtroom, Damas told the judge to "make sure he has Jesus in your life."
Damas is accused of cutting the throats of 32 year-old Guerline Dieu Damas and their five young children in their Naples town house in September 2009.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

Let's say I have a controller called Books (and a corresponding Book model), and a controller called Users (and a corresponding User model). Each of these controllers has the standard CRUD actions, and they serve as the vehicle for my website's API as well.
Most of the pages on my site fit into this framework easily. For example, viewing a book. Or viewing your user account. Or editing your user account. Etc.
But let's say I have an index that will be somewhat unique: I want to show a list of users AND a list of books. This raises a few questions:
- What controller should this go under: UsersController, BooksController, or a new controller?
- If I create a new controller, is that considered a violation of any MVC principles since it won't be tied to any particular model in particular?
- How would this new controller action retrieve the data? If I write new ActiveRecord queries inside if it, them I'm repeating myself, since I already have code like this in my other controllers. I'd also prefer to consume my own API, if possible.

Score from 93 reviews Very good
It's a nice, cozy, quiet place to stay.
The kitchen is only for staff. We have to dinner out, instead of making dinner by ourselves.
We've stayed @ the Sandpiper and as this was the original Pretty family home it had more of their memorabilia. We loved being greeted by Mao the three legged wonder cat.Very quiet for sleeping and the breakfast was amazing. We will definitely return on our next mini road trip.
- Very nice and helpful hosts (Even repaired our broken suitcase) - rich and heathy breakfast - comfortable rooms - quiet place
Amazing owners who made us feel so welcome. All home made food fresh from garden. Lovely setting Large pool Interesting house
A lovely wonderful place for relaxing. Very friendly and nice hosts. The property has a beautiful large garden and many walking trails beyond.Enjoy a magical garden with cute hummingbirds and many other birds and insects.
Lots of mosquitoes.
Great location, lovely hosts, beautiful spot. Thank you for having us :)
Beautiful place! Such a nice house with lots of places to relax. Many trails to explore. The host are very helpful and warm. Delicious breakfast! We would love to go back in the summer and enjoy the creek and the pool!
Everything! Fascinating history of the Lodge, fascinating hosts to tell you about it. Both my guest and I agreed we would stay again if the opportunity arose. The virtual tour on the B&B website doesn't do it justice, but that's ok.
Stunning interior of the building makes this stand out above all other places. Location could not be better. Hosts were a dream.
Anyone who has any issues with this place is insane.

Your meeting is over. The attendees have returned home, and your meetings team is back in the office compiling data about which sessions were most popular, what pieces of the program need to be improved and when attendees were most active and engaged with content. All of this work can help pave the path toward a better meeting next year, but many of these findings could have been far more useful when attendees were still on-site.
A new analytics platform from Vancouver-based QuickMobile is designed to uncover insights when they really matter - when meeting professionals can still make adjustments to keep attendees engaged. The platform combs through loads of data to help meeting professionals understand individual attendee behaviors and attitudes and fuel real-time decision-making.
"While it's helpful to use analytics to shape future events, here at QuickMobile we think there are opportunities for more immediate impact during the live event," Jeff Epstein, Director, Product and Channel Marketing, QuickMobile, says.
"If you wait until the meeting is over, you've missed those opportunities, which include demonstrating responsiveness to attendee behavior and feedback, improving attendee satisfaction before they make their final assessment, and making sure everything you're doing is consistently aligned with your goals and objectives," Epstein adds.
SEE ALSO: What 42 Percent Of Meeting Professionals Have Never Done
From eliminating session overcrowding to tracking the hourly impact of promotional campaigns and more, the platform is designed to manage many elements of a meeting. I was most impressed with the social media integration. As more attendees share status updates during the meeting, the platform can help easily identify the biggest brand advocates.
"If you see someone truly engaged via Twitter or in-app messaging, you can send them a personal thank-you note, or even find them and reward them with a prize or something spontaneous," Epstein says.
Of course, we all know that attendees aren't just using social media to sing a meeting's praises. Every meeting professional is growing accustomed to managing attendee frustration, too.
"Similarly, if they're complaining, you can see why and do something about it," Epstein says. "If you wait until after the event, you've lost them and you've lost control over what they're doing with their complaints."
While many organizations see social media as another drain on resources, Epstein says that the platform eliminates the need to constantly log in to look at activity.
"Social media conversations can actually be monitored from the app via the Activity Feed, so staffers don't even need to log into the back end of the platform," Epstein says.
SEE ALSO: Get Attendees To Download Your Meeting App
"The key for us is granularity — detailed views that empower decision making," Epstein says. "Whether it's details about an attendee, a session or a sponsor, planners need solid data to make better decisions. The nice thing is they don't have to wait until the next event to see the impact."
