21.10.2012 /
The KTM Enduro Factory Team wrapped up the 2012 season in the same style as they had begun – with a raft of victories on the final weekend of racing at Brignoles in France.
The team arrived with the E1 and E3 World titles already in the bag thanks to superb riding by Antoine Meo and Christophe Nambotin who rose to the occasion to deliver two more exciting rounds and victories on Saturday and Sunday in front of their loyal supporters.
The only senior title left to decide was in the E2 category but with the leading KTM rider Cristobal Guerrero of Spain not fully recovered from a dislocated shoulder in the International Six Days Enduro in Germany last month, the team's chances were narrowed. Both Guerrero and his teammate Johnny Aubert put in an inspired joint effort to prevent the leader Pierre-Alexandre Renet from taking the title. The gap between Guerrero and Renet was narrowed to 15 points after Saturday's round but even though Aubert took the win on Sunday, Renet finished third to Guerrero's fourth to secure the victory.
To the excitement of the many French fans, Nambotin and Meo engaged in a personal competition on Sunday and team boss Fabio Farioli said they had been so evenly matched that before the final test there had been less than a second between them. Aubert also had a great last round and was extremely fast on Sunday, Farioli said.
"This has been a great year for us," Farioli confirmed. He said his riders and support staff had made a great effort to vault the factory team back into the spotlight following a season of bad luck and injuries in 2011. Reflecting on the 2012 season, Farioli also praised the efforts of Giacomo Redondi, the young Italian rider who had a brilliant overall victory in the Youth Cup. On Sunday Redondi moved up to the EJ class and also finished second.

Personas: The Foundation of a Great User Experience
Today's consumers are demanding more from companies. Customers expect products, services, and information that are timely and catered to their specific needs and desires. Traditionally, companies develop and market products based on market segmentation and demographics, assuming that the features, functionality and messaging will meet the needs of all of the customers in that demographic—a "one size fits all" mentality. However, as the marketplace shifts from a mass manufacturing to a mass customization model, customers needs and desires are more accurately identified through the development of personas rather than through demographic data.
"What Is a Persona?
A persona represents a cluster of users who exhibit similar behavioral patterns in their purchasing decisions, use of technology or products, customer service preferences, lifestyle choices, and the like. Behaviors, attitudes, and motivations are common to a "type" regardless of age, gender, education, and other typical demographics. In fact, personas vastly span demographics.
How Are Personas Built?
Personas are built by first conducting one-on-one interviews with a wide demographic of the targeted audience(s). Patterns in the data gathered from the interviews begin to emerge after approximately 30 interviews for a typical project focused on one brand or product. These interviews work best when conducted in-context, such as the respondent's home or place of work. This way, ethnographic research techniques may be employed to gather information about the users' environments, providing insight into their behaviors, motivations, and attitudes that may not otherwise be uncovered in a survey, focus group, or one-on-one interview in a market research facility. Typically, the researcher begins with a broad conversation that ultimately narrows in on the use of specific products or services.
Analysis is then conducted on the research data over the course of one to two weeks. The researchers identify extremes in user behavior and group similar respondents together. Patterns of behavior define each user type and provide a clear understanding of how they relate to each other within the extremes.
From here, it's essential to launch another round of research. This time, the recruiting is done according to the behavior and motivation criteria that represent each user type, rather than by the demographic criteria used in the first round. Recruiting five to seven respondents per persona is sufficient to see patterns of behavior. Recruiting additional users may offer some additional insights, but rarely enough to justify the cost. It's possible to conduct these interviews in a market research facility, or even online; however, qualitative data and observations are always more robust when gathered in context.
This round of research validates the persona characteristics and fills in any gaps from the first round of research. More importantly, this is an opportunity to ask specific behavioral questions to better understand how the personas relate to products and messaging. This yields valuable information on how to customize the user experience to specific types of people based on their attitudes, behaviors, and motivations, regardless of demographic information.
Where Does Persona Development Begin?
The first step is to define the customer lifecycle and understand all of the corresponding touchpoints. Each touchpoint will have a corresponding key department that must understand the personas in order to provide an optimal customer experience. Getting buy-in from leadership within each department early in the persona process is key to socializing the personas—spreading the knowledge of the company's customers throughout the organization.
It is a common mistake to wait until the personas are finalized before beginning the socialization process. Socialization attempts within an organization without buy-in are often met with resistance. Getting all of the key stakeholders involved early in the process involves them in informing the initial understanding of the customer and, therefore, helps define the research. Informing these stakeholders of the project's progress will keep them interested, provide opportunities for feedback, ensure a higher quality persona deliverable, and generate greater buy-in throughout the organization.
If there isn't buy-in or, at the very least, usage of the personas across multiple divisions of an organization, the success and longevity of the personas will be limited. The company may create great products based on the personas but lose customers on poor acquisition, unresponsive customer support, or other problematic areas of the customer lifecycle. A consistent and customizable user experience across the entire customer lifecycle is the key to adoption, usage and loyalty, increasing ROI exponentially.
What Is a Typical Persona Investment?
There is no shortcut to creating personas; they are an investment. Strategic, forward-thinking organizations can build personas as a subset of other research, but when conducted properly as a standalone project, the investment in persona development is somewhere between $80,000 to $120,000.
Full-fledged personas must go beyond the demographic data. Demographics are temptingly easy to collect from various sources in an organization, but persona work yields a much deeper understanding of why customers do the things they do and what they expect from an organization within any given context. This knowledge about customers' motivations (the why) makes it possible to create innovative solutions, products, ad campaigns, and customer support (the what) that cater to customers on a personal level.
Some advertising and design agencies offer inexpensive, shortcut methods of defining personas, but these marketing profiles lack the specificity and substance of true personas. An inability to plot the personas in relation to each other and heavy reliance on demographic data for the interpretation can be indicative of personas done on the cheap.
Good personas make the difference between doing the upfront work to get it right the first time rather than spending the same money or more with multiple redesigns, increased customer support costs, etc.
How Can Companies Optimize Their Investments in Personas?
Personas can and should be shared and utilized across the entire organization, and within various product development, marketing, customer support, and sales departments. Each department can use this persona information; for example, product managers can use the information to design a product that better meets the needs or desires of a particular persona, and marketing can use them to craft messaging that resonates. Holding such rich customer information within just one business unit because of political struggles and posturing within the organization is the quickest way to lose the investment in a persona project. Sharing and maximizing the persona work across divisions increases the realization of an ROI and the initial research costs can be shared across different budgets.
Personas should also be updated frequently. Innovation and competition may significantly shift the attitudes and behaviors of a company's customers. In order to keep personas current, companies should maintain a consistent dialogue with customers and commit to maintaining the personas as living and breathing documents. A centralized process for communicating new user research and updating the personas accordingly is critical.
What Can Companies Do If They Don't Have the Budget for Full-Fledged Personas?
If a company is collecting behavioral or qualitative data on its customers, it can spend some time and money mining that data to get a strong understanding of who its customers are and why they do what they do. Such data can help to inform the persona research and can reduce the costs.
Companies that conduct regular research on their products can piggyback that research with specific questions about behaviors and attitudes. While it will take longer to get answers this way, it's at least possible to leverage other research dollars to eventually get to a base understanding of the personas.
If there hasn't been any meaningful initiative to collect qualitative data on customers, it will be necessary to begin a persona project by conducting 24 to 36 contextual interviews with customers. This can be done over the course of three to six months rather inexpensively using a consultant for about $35,000. This will not yield full-fledged personas, but it will start to reveal clustering and patterns of behaviors that will inform user types.
These user types can, in turn, be leveraged in every type of customer feedback initiative going forward. The company can build upon this knowledge until, finally, enough information has been compiled to cluster the customers into personas.

For those having difficulty selling the idea of personas, I've seen the analogy of clothing or shoe sizing work. Just like clothing and shoe manufacturers have types (sizes) that they have to create for, we have to realize that there are types of users and develop our product in such a way that all those types find that the system works for them.
Great article, thanks for posting!
Personas can be useful as a marketing tool, but are 'dangerous' to use for experience-based designing.
They give a somewhat false security, where designers may think they know and empathize with the users because they are looking at a persona they created. But that can be very misleading - so make sure the designprocess involves actual people throughout, and not just for creating a persona in the beginning.
This is a great resource…thanks for sharing.
Write My Paper
Probably personas have gone out of fashion because they often are not accepted in the organization. The article shows very well how to establish personas and keep them alive. I think the key succes factor for personas is that the whole organization is commited to this method (ideally including the CEO)
Some other parts might be discussed:
80.000 - 120.000 $ is by far the most upper end of the scale. You can have diligently designed personas for much less money.
The persona method is a qualitative method, so the number of interviews is not that important. I was involved in projects where we could create three pesonas out of six interviews.
One issue with personas is that many creation methods described in the literature are quite mystical and not traceable by the data acquired.
We dealt with these issues in our master thesis, where we created a persona set for a medical device that was in the very early development stage.
If you are interested you can download the public version here.
This is an interesting article and an approach that works well for some organisations. However, I have found from a client side perspective that lots of persona information can be gathered cumulatively through other research projects and also from within the organisation, such as customer services. Using this already existing knowledge within an organisation, especially from previous research projects, can dramatically reduce the research effort/cost for a persona project. And as you say the personas can be refined over time.
I think it is also important to note that personas are not always just who the customer currently are but also who the business wants it's customers to be. This is particularly true when trying to broaden a customer base or appeal to a higher spending customer.
They can also be anti-personas for who the business don't want as customers. There are some good reasons why some customers aren't wanted by certain businesses and often these segmentations are well known by the business.
Don't get me wrong, I agree with the need to have persona projects with a good level of research vigour. But I think it is important not to see a persona project (even the first one a business does) as a stand alone project that doesn't leverage client side knowledge bases. And it does vary from business to business.
Always good to see article about personas as they seem to have gone out of fashion a bit, which I find worrying.
Excellent question Erik about recruiting people based on clusters and behaviors. One of the things we deliver as part of our initial user types is a behavioral based screener for recruiting. This screener consists of questions for each user type that probe for certain types of behavior rather than demographic data. If you have done a good job creating user types and personas, you will have uncovered distinct behaviors that set them apart from each other. In this way, you are asking more open ended questions around motivations, attitudes and behaviors that will slot a person into a particular user type or persona. Keep in mind, since personas are a combination of behaviors that drive decisions, people may straddle two different personas. This is ok for recruiting purposes. You want a nice distribution across all personas and once you begin the next round of research, you will quickly see them identify more strongly with one persona or another. This is precisely how you refine the personas in the second round of research to fill gaps in your knowledge of their behaviors and how they drive decisions.
Since we have an internal recruiting team, they are part of this process and understand how to screen properly. However, if you are using a recruiting company, you may want to spend some time explaining the initial user types and how the questions uncover the right behavior. It becomes more of a conversation then is the case with a typical closed ended questionnaire.

Great article!
One question: Once you've identified initial persona clusters, how do you go about recruiting and specifically Finding users who belong to a cluster?
I agree with Peter. In theory, this is all great, but I'm curious how many clients need personas that are so fleshed out. Most of my customers can get away with a simpler and cheaper solution.
Thanks for your comments Peter, Omri and Dr. Nestler. Good insight and questions.
Peter -
We see a range of types of clients that buy full fledged personas. I would say they are in the $100 million in revenue and above range companies. That being said, we see that many companies have an initial budget expectation of $20,000-$50,000. You can begin to work with this budget with some of the suggestions outlined in the article. It may not get you to full fledged personas at first, but that would allow your company to still build the base understanding of your user types by behavior and give you the knowledge to make actionable decisions about your customer or target market. On subsequent research projects, voice of the customer initiatives or other types of user feedback, the key is to build upon this knowledge. Thanks so much for your comment.
Omri -
I would guess you have a target market yes? Maybe these are target demographics or people with targeted behavior. Maybe they use complimentary products or the innovative product you are creating is based on types of products they have used in the past.
You will want to target people based on any of those characteristics that exist. Your persona building process is the same, only the initial recruiting is different.
Dr. Nestler -
Indeed, if you have knowledge about the behaviors your customers or target audience exhibit, you should include those criteria for the initial round of research when recruiting.
Great post. You hit the nail on the head by pointing out that Personas are not primarily about demography. Personas focus on behaviour!
I think the amount of 30 interviews could be reduced by considering behavioral aspects in the selection process as well. In your example you identified four different groups:
- the "keep it simple and easy" persona
- the "i want to be supported" persona
- the "i want understand it myself" persona
- the "technical thinking" persona
I would expect that these four behavioral groups could be a great "quick and dirty" help for many applications. Nevertheless the support of an UX consultant is needed to find out what these four different personas expect from your concrete innovative application...
Very thorough piece. Thanks. Clearly, being able to "meet" with your customers and getting interviews to identify their behaviors and patterns is priceless. However, what can we do when we don't have customers yet? what do we do when we trying to develop an innovative product and we need to "predict" personas?
You need to start from imagining who the users will be. Then take contact to people from your expected group, to learn if they actually fit as you thought. Are they the right customers? If not, change the group and try again.
You need to 'just do it' - several times - and revise it every time until you feel you have the right match.
By the way, it rarely costs more than a cop of coffee to interview someone if you do it yourself. Don't start by spending $80.000 on hiring an expensive firm to do it - at least not until you are absolute sure about what you want and what you need.

How to Add Style to a Twin Mattress
You may not believe it, but your twin mattresses can be your biggest ally when redecorating a bedroom. Twin mattresses might seem exceptionally plain, but with a few additional design elements, they can be transformed into bold twin beds with style. As the smallest of the mattress sizes, twin mattresses remain versatile and can be used in many different rooms. Incorporate twin mattresses and beds into the bedrooms of children or young adults. Two twin beds can also be used for extra bedding in a guest bedroom. Don't forget that these mattresses come in both regular size and in an extra-long size for taller sleepers. Look below for additional tips on how to add style to a twin mattress.

A Roundhouse Fuck is when you and a person of the opposite sex strip down and prepare for a sexual experience. On top of a bed, the women puts herself in doggy style fuck position sticking her vagina out for the man. Next the man will insert his penis into the womens vaginal quarters. The last step involves the women still present in her doggy style position rotating herself 360 degrees multiple times until climax is reached. The mans job is to hop around behind the women on the bed while she is rotating after each insertion. In other words, the man is moving in the same rotation the women is creating a continuous circle of sex.

Will/Should Walmart Offer Mortgages Soon?
Walmart has been in the debit card business for awhile now. On the talk shows tonight it was asked if Walmart
should be involved with home mortgages or home loans to consumers.
I can't see any reason why they should not be involved if they are properly supervised. I bet they will offer
very competitive prices to the borrower.
Any thoughts?

A Chinese Instacart clone raises $100 million
Dmall takes grocery orders online and employs workers who buy the items in supermarkets and delivery them quickly to consumers.
One of the most frequently mentioned topics the 2010 Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition in Chicago was social media.
One of the most frequently mentioned topics the 2010 Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition in Chicago was social media. Those words were on the tongues of almost every speaker, from the pre-conference workshops on Tuesday (Ravelry.com, a social site for knitters, drives 6% of traffic to Yarn.com, Steve Elkins, president of Yarn.com's parent WEBS, told Tuesday's Beginning Search Marketing Workshop) to Friday, when the conference concluded with a whole day devoted to understanding social initiatives ("Mingle around online social media to find out where your market is," Michael Jansma, president of online retailer GEMaffair.com, advised attendees).
Anyone attending any of the many sessions that dealt with social media went home with lots of ideas—and with the idea that there is no silver bullet. Each retailer has to harness social media to its own particular circumstances.
A couple of great examples came out of the Facebook session during the post-conference Social Media and E-Retailing workshop. David Pohl, head of e-commerce for Equator Estate Coffees & Teas, focused on small-bore initiatives. He reported that when the company gets small lots of coffee in stock, it sells them on Facebook. Why? It's too much trouble to put small quantities on the web site. And those offerings have the advantage of tying fans closer to the brand. "Treat your fans special," Pohl advised.
Pohl's co-presenter David Saville of Hallmark Cards reported that Hallmark is planning to spread its presence across Facebook. Rather than offering only a few things on Facebook, Hallmark is getting ready to build Facebook stores for the many different brands, such as Disney, that Hallmark licenses for cards. That could result in Hallmark's operating dozens of Facebook presences.
Whatever the approach, social media is early enough in its life and fluid enough to allow online retailers latitude in experimentation. The real challenge is to find the return on such investments. Notwithstanding ForeSee Results' new service (announced at IRCE) to track how consumers use social media and whether it prompts them to buy, many speakers urged e-retailers not to be concerned about return, arguing that social media is still a relatively small investment. "Don't try to calculate ROI on social media programs, just do them," Ken Cassar, vice president of industry insights at Nielsen Online, told Friday's Social Media workshop.
Said GEMaffair's Janmsa: "It's a challenge for us right now to monetize Facebook."
Profitable or not, the consensus among speakers is that successful retailers will be where consumers are—and that's on social sites these days. In fact, Jansma cited research showing that social sites are now the No. 1 use of the Internet—displacing porn for the first time since the rise of the Internet. Having a social presence, said Nielsen's Cassar, "is a minimum customer expectation."

I'm a little slow
I just figured out why the crew was always staying at the same Hotel Fabulous. I was thinking to myself nice place with a name like Hotel Fabulous must be Fabulous, I'll have to look it up next time I go overseas, but I guess it's an imaginary hotel for Willie's Diaries. Makes sense you would not want more people waiting for the band outside the "Hotel Fabulous" than here already are.
Thanks again Willie for the diaries,
I can't get enough, you're a funny guy.

Love the color, size and quality! Great red purse!
I was looking for a tote and purse all in one. I did a lot of research before I made my decision. I am picky about my purses. I look for color, how it is made, does it have pockets for everything I use? comfort and how it looks, will it go with everything? will it last? Is it a buttery soft leather? Can I use it everyday? This purse met all my expectations and more. I adore the cognac color!! It is wonderful and the smell is heavenly!! My husband gave it to me for Valentine's Day. The reason for 4 stars is my husband paid extra to have it for Valentine's Day and it did not arrive until Monday 2/16/15. He was extremely disappointed I did not receive it for such a special day!!
Top quality workmanship and a beautiful bag.
Great bag, love it!
Supple leather. Expert construction. Lovely color. Could not be happier with my purchase.
Really like the feel of the bag. Was hoping for a little more structure (bag puddles), but probably due to the amazing softness of leather.
I bought this for recent trip, and it exceeded my expectation, leather is super supple and love the monograming
I absolutely love my new Leatherology bag. The leather is smooth and a pretty color. I got the gold letter initials and am very happy with my decision to do so. Would definitely recommend to everyone!
Love this bag! The leather is buttery soft and the lining is light but durable. There's an interior zip pocket for precious things, and two pockets on the other side to prevent keys and headphones etc rattling around in the main part of the bag. Seriously, this is one of the best bags I've ever had: stylish, sturdy and it feels great to wear. Leatherology is amazing!
Everything we get from you is perfect. Long may you live and flourish.
Birthday present for my 80yr old stepmother's birthday who really wanted & could not find, a "true yellow" tote. Added embossed initials. Initials are placed on the small tab, located at top. Coincidentally, my 18 yr old,college bound niece, also, approvingly, quizzed me about the vertical design and available colors.
Beautiful and excellent quality, as all your products are -- and beautifully packaged. I'd love another less deep inner pocket, but I will survive and will use this for years.
Very soft and lovely leather. Holds everything, with just the right amount of pockets for everyday use. I can easily carry my iPad, Kindle, phone, etc., and it fits nicely over the shoulder. I love it. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the monogram is a disappointment. I had expected it to be somewhat larger and more visible. I should have, with the color of this bag, selected either silver or gold.
This tote is great. The leather is very soft, and the navy color is beautifuly. It arrived nicely packaged in a dust bag and gift box. Perfect "thank-you" gift.
My new cobalt blue tote is beautiful and functional. I get compliments every time I use it.
My daughter loved it. A great Christmas present.
I bought this tote as a gift for my 23 year old granddaughter,and she was delighted. (She left for London the next day and yes, she was carrying it! The color is exactly as pictured, the quality is excellent, the bag held everything she wanted to carry, all in the right places. It was an excellent purchase. (Just wish I had one too!!)
Due to the size of this item, it is not available for traditional gift packaging. However, it will arrive in a pouch or drawstring bag packaged in a logo kraft box.

To over-hype something to the point of building expectations that the final product will never be able to fufill. The word comes from Peter Molyneux who is known to speak candidly about games he is working on, in all cases never truly able to deliver on his word.
After reading all those reviews of this movie, I feel totally molyneux'd after actually seeing it.

"Senior Dogs Love It Too!"
"Having 6 senior citizen dogs, it isn't unusual for someone to have an ""off"" day at mealtime. Not anymore!! All six of my guys LOVE this bacon spray and seem to look forward to eating again! Being low cal is an added benefit! "
"Gluten Free Dog!"
The gluten free dog food we feed our dog must be pland in taste as our dog has stopped eatting it. We added some bacon spray and she loves it! So we can keep her healthy and avoid giving her so many treats!
"Works for kennel dogs too!"
I have received the bacon spray along with the other 2 types of sprays. I work at a boarding kennel for dogs and also have 4 dogs of my own. When dogs come to spend the night at the kennels, they sometimes don't want to eat due to being away from home. I sprayed the bacon spray on their food and some on my finder to let them taste it. After licking all the spray off my finger, they went right to their food and ate every bite. The kennel owner was amazed and said she will keep the spray in stock. As for my dogs at home, my cheese thief likes the cheese spray the most and the others like the spray on some crackers as a treat.
" Dog's appetite back!"
Bacon Spray has my dog eating her dry dog food again. I know how much she likes it because she leaves nothing in her bowl. I am so glad I ordered the Bacon Spray! It arrived in a week and the shipping and packaging were just great! It's a wonderful product!!! Thank you.
"Great for a picky eater"
My two dogs are very picky when it comes to their dry dog food. I ordered this last month and am very satisfied on how well it works. My dogs are now actually finishing everything in their dish. Thank you!!!!


text: Beginning with just five workers assembling mics by hand at a small factory in Vienna, AKG, founded in 1947 by Dr. Rudolf Goerike and Ernst Pless, soon became one of the biggest players in the world of audio. Their early microphones were quickly adopted by European radio stations, theaters and jazz clubs and began spreading worldwide. The introduction of their first headphones in 1949, continued their growth, but it was with the release of several firsts, including the first high-quality cardioid condenser mic, the D 12, and the C 12 remote-controlled multi-pattern mic in the early '50s that the company began a more rapid expansion. The C 12 was adopted by the BBC, then the preeminent broadcaster in the world, guaranteeing instant demand around the globe. AKG has created many products over the years that have become standard tools for audio professionals worldwide: the C 414 multi-pattern condenser, the C 451 small-diaphragm reference condenser, the studio-standard K-series of headphones and many others. Since becoming part of Harman International in 1994, AKG has continued to innovate with new live vocal microphones, analog and digital wireless systems, the Perception series of budget-friendly studio microphones and collaborations with artists like Tiësto for custom-designed headphones for DJs, among many other new products.About AKG

andy stott - Luxury Problems
Following on from a pair of Extended Players released in 2011 ("Passed Me By" / "We Stay Together") Andy Stott returns to Modern Love with 'Luxury Problems', an 8 track album of new material recorded over the last 12 months. Five of the tracks on the album feature the voice of Alison Skidmore, Andy's onetime Piano teacher whom he hadnt seen since he was a teenager back in 1996. There was no grand gesture in mind, it just sort of happened - but after almost a year of studio work the result is really quite unlike anything you'll have heard from him before. 'Numb' opens the album with Alison's voice; layered and looped but essentially left bare and exposed, tumbling into a dense shuffle, sort of somewhere between Theo Parrish and Sade, but more f*cked. 'Lost and Found' follows and deploys a growling rave bassline and a disturbed vocal, the beat assembling itself around a squashed Linndrum like a submerged Prince/Cameo production, haunted and impenetrable, but full of funk. 'Sleepless' started life as an African drum edit that sooner or later succumbed to Stott's intense rhythmic shifts. It's a sound that's been imitated countless times since the release of 'Passed Me By', here re-tooled and re-built for its next evolutionary phase. 'Hatch The Plan' ends the first half of the album with some heavily treated location recordings and a low end grind that probably doesnt quite prepare you for the vocal arrangements that follow - it's just a beautifuly inverted pop song. The second half opens with 'Expecting', the most recognisably 'Stott' moment on the album: a wrecked, deliriously knocked-out 4/4 shuffle deployed at halfspeed; those heavy kickdrums sucking in everything around them. 'Luxury Problems' is next and offers up the album's most quietly euphoric and open 5 minutes; conventional arrangements and drumloops disrupted by sharp disco bursts that mess with what you know: it's straight and beautiful and unbalanced and damaged, somehow all at once. "Up the box" switches up the narrative and goes somewhere else entirely, an extended intro that seems to build continuously for 3 minutes before breaking off into a slowed-down Amen edit, creating a kind of narcotic Jungle variant that fragments everything and ends just at the point you think it's going to go off, before "Leaving" finishes the album with an almost unbareably beautiful arrangement of voice and synth and a final key-change that takes you from joyful to forlorn in an instant.

They are real-time stock market quotes that excites share traders investing money in buying shares or offload their holdings by offering the last traded rate of a company's shares and the ratio (called P/E ratio) existing between percentage change and earnings as well. The P/E ratio serves vital role in fueling Indian stocks trading.

Phoronix: Fedora 20 Will Likely Have Another Goofy Codename
It's time to vote for another Fedora codename, this time for Fedora 20, and it's likely to be yet another weird/goofy codename to succeed recent names like Beefy Miracle and Spherical Cow...
I vote Superego, one bitch of a name!
Goofy names because Fedora is a goofy distro, a test bed for Red Hat. I tried using Gnome 3 and I can see why Red Hat went for the "classic" version which they had to include into the .iso otherwise their PR staff would be screwed. I used to program with Gtk but started learning Qt and comparing it to Gtk it just reinforced my former belief that Gnome and Gtk were adhoc solutions for Red Hat (like AWT for Java) that they never bothered fixing from the ground up. Gtk itself is full of wacky names and solutions, not to mention Gtk3 doesn't work (properly or at all) on windows.
If Fedora went for KDE as the default option (and while at it dump Gnome/gtk altogether) and treated the users as users (not as hackers) it would be a different story, but it would be too smart and ballsy even for Red Hat.

Well, Österreich is not that bad of a codename. Heisenbug is a really good "is a" connection.

Phoronix: Open ATI Driver To Receive PowerPlay Push?
Besides the Radeon DRM improvements (and Radeon HDMI KMS audio) to be found in the Linux 2.6.33 kernel, there is more to be thankful for this holiday season when it comes to the open-source support. Up to this point when it comes to power management for ATI's kernel mode-setting support the work (Radeon DRM Power Management Moves Along) has been largely done by RafaÅ? MiÅ?ecki, an independent open-source developer...
Just to clarify this information has been available for r1xx-r5xx/rs6xx/rs740 for years now (since atombios.h was released). This adds the table definitions for r6xx/r7xx/rs780/rs880.
WOW! This is incredible!
Were you saving this for Christmas on purpose?
I've say it is worth it though.
Didn't we get glxgears for R600 for Christmas last year?
I bet that the cross kernel madness is one of the main reason. To follow kernel abstraction, the DRM would have to include a power management abstraction which works on Linux and BSD. That abstraction will be easy to design with firmware loading but with power management, design is brought to a whole new level...
The cross-kernel thing is turning to a kludge. Better drop kernel abstraction, switch to GNU GPLv2 (I would go GNU Affero GPLv3 for GPU drivers), and code directly on Linux APIs and internal structures. BSD coders are smart enough to code drivers that will fit cleanely their kernel, since all the knowledge will already be available in Linux.
I seriously don't mean to start a flame war, but why are desktop users using BSD?
Don't people use BSD for its firewall?
Many do: MacOS.
The big issue here is that MacOS is a proprietary and closed fork of Darwin which is a BSD. MacOS has many improvements that Dawin has not...
This is a part of the root of the BSD/GNU GPL flamewar.
"Thanks" to the BSD license, apple can improve and close the code witout publishing it. MacOS is closed and proprietary. With the GNU GPL, fairness (open source) is protected, enforced: you cannot close the code. It allows us to go after optimal code.
Most of GNU GPL coders are looking to have an *optimal* open source OS installed on systems. The GNU GPL helps towards that goal, but is not a silver bullet.
Regarding the GPUs drivers, since they are BSD, apple can rip that code, share secrets with nvidia/AMD/intel... in order to keep the optimal code for MacOS crippling the open source version (they did it for NTFS support for instance).
I do remenber BSD advocates saying that no company will be able to have a better proprietary fork of a BSD OS. They were wrong.

I really don't understand why so many members have such a lovefest with 6 In 1s plus diced tomatoes for Malnati's clones.
I do drain the puree in the can away from the tomatoes and then squeeze the tomatoes in a colander to get rid of any loose, watery juice in the tomatoes before lightly pulsing with a stick blender...
I'd be eager to see if I could just use the Filetto di Pomodoro and just pulse that with the stick blender right out of the can. It would certainly save a lot of time!

Tufted Ottoman This is a good ottoman with regard to sturdiness and workmanship -- that is, other than the color. Most likely will return and exchange for the white/linen ottoman. The grey-blue color is difficult to match with other furnishings. It either looks very blue, or very denim-grey -- a little dingy in appearance.

Sand tufted ottoman I am very pleased with the tufted ottoman. Initially I wanted the blue colored ottoman, but decided against it after reading reviews that suggested it was more denim looking in appearance than light blue. I am pleased with the sand color which is an off white. My only regret now is that I chose a tufted ottoman without storage- it seems like a storage option would have been more practical for me, but que sera, que sera. The ottoman looks lovely, was easy to assemble and appears to be sturdy. my one and three year old like to climb on it and it can be a little tippy as it has three legs, but I am using it as a side table rather than as an ottoman and have continued to discourage them from doing so by placing a tray on the ottoman.

Shopping Guides
Tips on Coordinating an Ottoman with Your Living Room
An ottoman is a versatile piece of furniture that, when chosen and incorporated tastefully, can spruce up your living room, add function and tie various design elements together. How you coordinate an ottoman with your living room depends on factors such as your decorating taste, your living room theme, the size and style of your room, the existing furniture in your space and the personality you want the room to reflect. So, when choosing an ottoman, pick one that satisfies the criteria that matter to you the most.
How to Accessorize an Ottoman
Ottomans serve multiple purposes in home decor. Some people use them as footstools, pairing them with armchairs, loveseats or couches. Others invest in storage ottomans with removable tops or trays beneath. In some homes, ottomans may serve as coffee tables, cocktail tables or end tables. Accessorize your ottoman to increase its functionality as well as its style. Below, you'll learn how to accessorize an ottoman.
How to Clean an Ottoman
It's easy to give living room ottomans a cursory, superficial cleaning, like simply running a vacuum cleaner over the surface; however, because ottomans are the object of much use by feet and shoes, they need an occasional deep cleaning. Follow these steps to clean your ottoman.
Ottoman Buying Guide
Ottomans are fun, functional pieces of living room furniture, and they go well beyond their modest size in completing the look of your home. At its most basic, an ottoman consists of a padded cushion, usually atop a wooden frame for resting your feet. Of course, there are countless variations on the basic theme. This ottoman buying guide gives you everything you need to know about how to buy an ottoman that will reward you and your living room again and again.
Best Additional Features for Coffee Tables
Don't ask what you can do for your coffee table; ask what your coffee table can do for you. Coffee tables are nothing if not multi-tasking furniture pieces that can accomplish a lot with a little. Trunk storage, magazine racks, drawers, shelving, hidden seating or even built-in ottomans are all possibilities, but beware of the busily tricked-out coffee table that includes all of these features. The message bears repeating: Think about the form and function of your coffee table. How will its design impact how you use it? The modern coffee table comes with plenty of extras, so choose carefully.
How To Use a Storage Ottoman
If you're short on space, try adding a storage ottoman to the room. Whether you need storage in your living room, bedroom, or home office, this handy piece of furniture may just be the answer. They come in a number of shapes, sizes, textures, and materials so you can easily match them to any room's decor. Here are some tips on using a storage ottoman.
How to Use Ottomans for Coffee Tables
Everywhere you look, you'll see decor spreads that replace the living room's old, faithful coffee table with one or two ottomans. This relatively straightforward substitution can toss a few curve balls at would-be decorators unless they do their homework. Take a look below to learn how to use ottomans for coffee tables.
How to Sew an Ottoman Slipcover
Old, worn-out furniture often sticks around longer than preferred, creating some problems when it comes to redecorating a room. One common solution for keeping older sofas and chairs around that no longer match a living room color scheme or have too much wear and tear, is to create slipcovers using a sewing machine and new upholstery fabric. Slipcovers can be sewn for all types of furniture and if you are redecorating a room, you should attempt to update all furniture, including ottomans. If you are looking for an affordable way to keep your old ottoman around without disrupting your room's sense of style and coordination, then you might consider sewing your own ottoman slipcover.
How to Match an Ottoman and Chair
When you add new furniture to your living room, like an ottoman or accent chair, it's important that they coordinate with your already existing furniture. Much like coordinating clothing, matching different pieces of furniture is important for creating a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing room. When you're matching an ottoman with a chair, it's especially important to get a piece that matches or compliments the furniture that you already have, especially since these two items will sit in such close proximity to each other. Keep reading for tips on how to match ottoman and chair.

Taking the time to consider all your options will help you make the best choice possible. Keep reading for more ideas about popular styles of sofas, loveseats and ottomans for your home.
Necessary Living Room Furniture - Sofas
Take a good look at your living room furniture. Sofas and loveseats are a staple when it comes to the way your living room looks. Pair your sofa with a loveseat or ottoman, and your living room is well on its way to looking its best. Although most people own living room furniture like ottomans and end tables, few realize what an impact their sofa can have on a living room.
