NEW YORK, Jan. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
Stratecast Predictions 2014: The Year Ahead - and a Look Back
In this year's look forward, Stratecast provides a view of likely developments in the multiple dimensions in the communication space. The very complex interplay of the economy, consumer perceptions and technology ultimately make such an exercise more of an art than a science. Nevertheless, as the reader will discover, Stratecast's predictions for 2013 were, by and large, correct. Where they were off was mostly as a result of developments occurring more quickly than had been supposed—even by the players in the market. Yet, the rate of change seems likely to accelerate even more as the market evolves.
Introductionunder-reach in the long term. People always expect a greater rate of change than is sustainable in the near future; and, probably as a consequence, become somewhat pessimistic about developments that may take place in more than a few years.
While this is true, generally, about anything involving technology, it is becoming less true about computing and communications technology: with the acceleration of change, the uncertainty that once characterized the far future is coming to characterize the near future. Some futurists, including Ray Kurzweil, are convinced that, by the year 2020, the rate of change will be so great that human minds will be incapable of encompassing or understanding it. Although Stratecast doubts that this "singularity" will occur quite the way that futurists like Ray Kurzweil predict, it is true that this accelerating change dynamic continues to influence the telecommunications market in ways that remain very unpredictable.
Nevertheless, as the reader will discover, Stratecast's predictions for 2013 were, by and large, correct. Where they were off was mostly as a result of developments occurring more quickly than had been supposed—even by the players in the market. Yet, the rate of change seems likely to accelerate even more as the market evolves.
2014 is likely to be a time of extreme, perhaps even radical, change. Consumers will be exposed to new forms of access technology and new integrated service offerings. Enterprises will increasingly virtualize operations using communications and computing. The cloud will begin to become less of a fad and more of a routine solution. Operators will be scrambling to implement the new systems and technologies that will enable all of the new devices and capabilities. Regulators will begin to impose rules on broadband access, and will be looking at the intersection of wireless and broadband.
"May you live in interesting times," is said to be an ancient Chinese curse.2 Certainly 2014 will be interesting times in the telecommunications sector. However, rather than being something to dread, Stratecast believes it is, rather, a time of extreme opportunity. Navigating the hazards and exploiting the opportunities is something that Stratecast has helped its clients do for more than years. We stand ready to provide the analysis and insight that will help ensure our clients' success in the coming year as well.
Enjoy the following 2013 report card and our 2014 predictions. We wish you a joyous and safe holiday season.
2013 Predictions RevisitedBig Data and Analytics (formerly Analytics, Customer Experience and Marketing2013 Prediction: Big Data will become the #1 driver of BI and analytics investments…
Outcome: "Big Data" was the #1 driver of investment in the business intelligence (BI) and analytics market in 2013. In fact, our assessment of the impact of Big Data led Stratecast to change the name of its program addressing this space from Analytics, Customer Experience & Marketing (ACEM) to Big Data & Analytics (BDA). Organizations are almost universally aware that they must find ways to deal with Big Data; and that is driving most of the investment in the space. The problem, though, with Big Data is far from simple: a glut of data about Big Data, much of it narrowly-focused and self-serving, which is creating confusion and organizational paralysis. Stratecast is demystifying the Big Data black box with its 12-part Big Data model; identification of Big Data core solutions and three component areas; and mapping of Big Data functionality into six areas of impact at communications service providers (CSPs).
2013 Prediction: …trailed closely by CEM.
Outcome: Customer experience analytics (CEA), which enables and supports customer experience management (CEM), is the second largest technology segment in the Big Data and analytics market. (The largest segment is Big Data core platforms, solutions, and services.) As defined by Stratecast, CEA is a CSP-focused segment. CSPs are accelerating their investments in CEA, not only to do a better job delivering high-quality services but also to find ways to monetize services from which they presently derive little revenue—most notably, video. Top telecommunications solution providers, such as Alcatel-Lucent, Lavastorm, Comptel, Amdocs, and NetCracker, are among the leaders in providing CEA to CSPs; these companies understand Big Data core functionality, and have the telecom-specific expertise to help CSPs apply Big Data to specific areas of need.
2013 Prediction: The increasingly blurry line between application performance monitoring (APM) and customer service assurance (CSA) will disappear, at least in video QoE.
Outcome: APM involves pre-testing of networks, services, devices, and capabilities by simulating their performance over future service paths and endpoints; while CSA is about obtaining customer experience analytics on the fly, as a live service is being delivered. Providers continue to offer either CSA or APM solutions, because the two require different components and capabilities, and it is not a simple matter to provide both. Providers need to make the investments and organizational commitments to emulate CEA's user-centric, "outside in" view of service delivery by seeing themselves through their customers' eyes. CSPs want both prelaunch service analytics (APM) and in-service analytics (CSA) from a single provider, so as to simplify their lives. And while they're at it, CEA providers should also consider offering the other two areas of CEA under one roof: customer profiles and quality of experience.
2013 Prediction: Established BI platform providers will take note of the "intercept, store & forward" model that is developing in the market, and respond.
Outcome: The "intercept, store & forward" model, simply put, is about real-time analytics; and real-time analytics is one of the hottest competitive differentiators in today's Big Data and Analytics market.3 At present, the only technology that can deliver real-time analytics is in-memory computing, where the data system processes data in real time in RAM, rather than using external memory. Some of the largest traditional data storage and data management providers are currently moving toward incorporating real-time analytics into their offerings, but the other large, established BI platform players trail SAP in this regard. SAP's HANA (High-performance Analytic Appliance) is an in-memory, column-oriented database management system that, in addition to providing real-time analytics, also integrates the widely diverse data sources and streams that make Big Data so challenging to manage.
2013 Prediction: An increasing number of BI analytics "Big Data" providers, who already have seven areas of Stratecast's nine-part BI Model covered, will add the eighth and ninth: data warehousing (DWH) and extraction-transformation-loading (ETL).
Outcome: A critical mass of the largest Big Data and Analytics providers, including EMC, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, and Teradata, either added data warehousing to existing analytics software suites, or vice versa; as have some of the largest Big Data providers on the telecom side, including Alcatel-Lucent, Amdocs, Huawei, and Lavastorm.

In the rush to compete in the digital age, a successful digital transformation is essential, but many organizations are setting themselves up for failure. There's a common misconception that the process is just about technology, but it's not. It's about your business. It shouldn't be treated as an isolated IT project; it should be driven by business needs with the committed involvement of a range of stakeholders.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- When New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski arrived for a news conference late Thursday morning as part of the media build-up to the AFC Championship Game, he immediately smiled.
"Wow. My first podium [appearance]. I'm big-time!" he joked as he swayed side to side, drawing laughter from reporters in attendance. "It's been a dream [for] six years."
Given Gronkowski's enjoyment of professional wrestling, and the theatrics that come with it, one almost expected him to knock the podium over in excitement. There's a playfulness about him that is hard to miss and Thursday was no exception.
Photo: Rob Gronkowski keeps it light, noting this is his first appearance at the podium in his 6-year career. pic.twitter.com/k8P1TQkvEw
— Mike Reiss (@MikeReiss) January 21, 2016
Along those lines, Gronkowski was asked about his tweet in response to the Broncos saying they planned to hit him low, and if he was surprised it received so much attention (it had more than 58,000 re-tweets).
"No, I was just having a little fun with it, hoping to get a little laughs, which I think it did," he said. "It's just all fun and games with that."
Asked if he wanted to elaborate more than the 140 characters allowed on Twitter, Gronkowski smiled, laughed, and said, "No, I'm good."
Gronkowski was happy to elaborate on a different topic -- how he's become a leader on the team, worthy of making an appearance at the podium leading into the AFC Championship Game.
"When I was first here as a rookie I would've never thought in six years I would be at the stage I am now," he said. "I feel like every time I step into the building, definitely there are younger guys, newer guys coming in I feel like definitely asking me stuff, looking up to me."

NAYPYIDAW: South-East Asia's regional bloc called for a "peaceful resolution" to the political crisis gripping Thailand, days after a controversial court ruling removed prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra from power.
The 10-member Asean met in the Myanmar capital Naypyidaw this weekend in the absence of a top-level Thai representative following Wednesday's judicial ruling ousting Yingluck from office for abuse of power.
In a statement by Asean foreign ministers, the bloc said it was closely monitoring the situation in Thailand, where both pro- and anti-government protesters have been drawn onto the streets, raising fears of unrest.
Asean member states "emphasise their full support for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing challenge in the country through dialogue and in full respect of democratic principles and rule of law", it said.
The ministers stressed the importance of "promoting national reconciliation and the return of normalcy in Thailand, in accordance with the will and interests of the people".
Opposition demonstrators have vowed to step up their efforts to topple the government – still clinging to power despite Yingluck's removal – unless a new leader is appointed.
They want an unelected premier to oversee political reforms to rid the country of the influence of the electorally popular Shinawatras, before polls are held in about 18 months' time.
Opponents say Yingluck was a puppet of her exiled brother Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted as prime minister in a 2006 military coup.
Government supporters, who began a major rally this weekend on the outskirts of Bangkok, have warned that handing power to an unelected government could lead to civil war.
The country has not had a functioning lower house since Yingluck dissolved parliament in December for elections that were later voided because of disruption by protesters. — AFP

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA—Late last summer, American Realty Capital Properties announced that management of the REIT would move in-house, terminating the agreement with ARC Properties Advisors LLC, an external manager that is majority-owned by Nicholas Schorsch and his partners. "We're tearing up our 10-year management contract," Schorsch, now executive chairman at ARCP, told the Wall Street Journal last September. "As an internalized company, you get a better multiple in the market. The market likes it better."
This week, another real estate trust with an external manager, CommonWealth REIT, removed its entire board of trustees following a vote by shareholders. That vote was the outcome of a consent solicitation by two of CWH's shareholders, Related Fund Management and Corvex Management LLC. The two shareholders had sought the board's ouster largely because of the office REIT's external manager, which they believed was "highly incentivized" to manage CWH in a way that maximizes management fee income, "rather than in a manner that creates value for shareholders."
That external manager, REIT Management and Research LLC, is controlled by the father-and-son-team of Barry and Adam Portnoy, who also serve as managing trustees at CWH and four other REITs. As SNL Financial pointed out in a report following the removal of CWH's board, investor wariness means that external management is "largely out of favor" among publicly traded REITs, and the future of this governance structure is uncertain.
Green Street Advisors estimated last year that there were just 18 US equity REITs remaining that used external managers—a number that is now smaller since ARCP took its management in-house. "The reality is that investors, especially the dedicated REIT guys, continue to not like that structure, especially given the inherent conflict that exists with these external managers," Jefferies LLC analyst Omotayo Okusanya told SNL this week.
The structure is more prevalent among nontraded REITs, SNL notes, and is also more common in Europe. And Peter Fass, a partner at law firm Proskauer Rose who has worked with a number of nontraded REITs, says external management can serve a purpose.
"It costs a lot of money to hire people, and until you have a successful company, why would you incur the overhead?" Fass told SNL. With external management, "You get the expertise without having to hire anybody internally."
It's not only concerns about possible conflicts of interest that make US shareholders look askance at external managers of traded REITs. "Externally managed REITs, on average, trade at a steeper discount to NAV than do equity REITs, and their average total returns have underperformed the broader REIT space throughout 2014," according to SNL.
In affirming its stable outlook and BB+ rating for CWH following the shareholder vote, Standard & Poor's earlier this week said it expected that a new board would terminate the management agreement with RMR and bring in a new, internal management team. "Our ratings on CWH acknowledge the company's 'fair' business risk profile, as characterized by a portfolio of assets that has performed unevenly and lagged that of other office REIT peers that we rate," says S&P credit analyst Jaimie Gitler.
The ratings agency said it believes that the new management team is likely to retain some assets that RMR had previously marked for sale. It added that while value could be realized by rehabilitating or repositioning these properties "it will likely require significant capital to do so."

Iran rejects report it gave Libya chemical arms
Tehran: Iran has dismissed a US news report
implicating it in a chemical weapons cache uncovered in Libya,
saying it was a champion in fighting to eradicate such arms.
"About the arms delivery to the regime of (toppled Libyan
leader Muammar) Gaddafi... The West would do better to look to
itself, because Iran has always been at the forefront in the
fight against chemical weapons," foreign ministry spokesman
Ramin Mehmanparast said, according to Iranian media today.
He was responding to a report Sunday in The Washington
Post newspaper that quoted an anonymous US official saying
special artillery shells made by Iran and filled by Libya with
mustard gas had been discovered in two sites in recent weeks.
Mehmanparast said Iran had experience as a victim of
chemical weapons, when mustard gas was used against its troops
by Iraq in a 1980-1988 war.
"Western countries have to answer how certain nations
supplied the Iraqi regime with such weapons during the
Iran-Iraq war," he said.
Tehran says Western countries supplied Baghdad with the
chemical weapons.

Younger than Google, tech-savvy and ready to take over the world: How teenage entrepreneurs of 'Generation Z' are already making more money than most will in a lifetime
- Generation 'Z' born through recession are inspired to run own businesses
- Poster kids include Nick D'Aloisio, 18, who sold an app for $30m last year
- They are the first 'digital native' tribe, majority are younger than Google
- But 'multiscreen culture' means they have increasingly limited attention span
They are still at school.
But Generation Z is already powering its way into the world of work.
Motivated, creative, and - crucially - tech-savvy, the world's two billion under-17-year-olds are sparking a wave of entrepreneurialism.
Scroll down for video
The big leagues: Today's youngsters are inspired by Britain's Nick D'Aloisio, 18, (left), who sold his news app for $30million last year, and Maya Van Wagenen (right) had landed a film deal with DreamWorks at just 15
Author's dream: She was born the same year as Google but already has a three-book deal with Random House
They are the first batch of 'digital natives': most of them are younger than Google, which launched in 1996.
And having watched their baby-booming parents struggle up work ladders, they plan to put their expertise into practice as early as possible.
Poster girls and boys of the generation include Nick D'Aloisio, 18, who taught himself code at 12, created the news app Summly at 15, and sold it to Yahoo for $30 million last year.
Another is Beth Reekles, 18, has won a three-book contract with Random House publishers after her first book The Kissing Booth was released online - and shared 19 million times.
And this year DreamWorks handed a multi-million dollar film deal to 15-year-old Maya Van Wagenen for her memoir about school dynamics, Popular: Vintage Wisdom for a Modern Greek.
They are leading a change of tide, with youngsters born into a recession desperate to 'make something of themselves'.
Dan Schawbel, founder of research firm Millennial Branding and author of Promote Yourself, told MailOnline: 'Generation Z has everything at its finger tips.
'You can start taking classes online or connecting with experts before you're 10 years old.
'Teenagers are now giving influential TED talks, building their reputation and networking before they have even left school.
'The majority of them would rather be entrepreneurs than employees.
The world-changers: 17-year-old Malala Yousafzai (left) was shot by the Taliban and survived to be an activist. Logan Laplante, 13, (right) has become a proponent of alternative schooling after giving a TED talk
'It means there is a huge emphasis on alternative education: do I need to pay for school or should I just invest in my own business?
'I think it's going to be a positive thing but it is the first generation to see it play out so we don't know what to expect.'
New research suggests today's teens and tweens are focussing on their big move - rather than wiling away time on social networks.
More than 75 per cent of Gen Z aim to turn their hobby into a full-time job compared to 50 per cent of the generation before, according to a survey by recruitment agency Intern Sushi.
Four in five secondary school students believe they are more driven than their peers.
Popular culture is saturated with powerful youngsters - from Romeo Beckham, modelling at the age of 10, to Lorde, who at 17 has won two Grammy awards and landed a commission to soundtrack the next Hunger Games film.
The majority of England's World Cup squad was born in the early to mid nineties, and some of fashion's most influential bloggers have yet to reach university.
But it seems many also want to change the world.
Two thirds of under-17-year-olds want to have an impact on the world with their jobs, compared to just a third of the generation before.
With social entrepreneurship now one of the most popular career choices, the figures also revealed a quarter of 16-to-19-year-olds are currently volunteering.
Leaders in this field include 17-year-old Malala Yousafzai, who was shot by the Taliban and survived to become an activist.
Another is Logan Laplante, 13, who has shaken up debate in the education sector by promoting his concept of 'hackschooling': breaking from the structure of organised education.
His first talk has amassed more than five million views online, and sparked numerous responses from leading figures in the schooling world.
And 19-year-old journalist Rene Silva, from Brazil, has already published his first book, having set up a newspaper at the age of 11, and live-tweeted a police raid on his neighbourhood in Rio de Janeiro at 17.
It is a shift in priorities that appears to have been sparked by the wave of unemployment and the rise of tuition fees.
Model example: Romeo Beckham (left) dived into the world of work at the age of 10 with a campaign for major fashion house Burberry. Lorde (right) has landed two Grammy awards before the age of 18
Connected: People can start connecting with experts and building a business online before they are 10
Ina Miskavets, senior consumer and lifestyles analyst at research firm Mintel said: 'Having come of age in an era of rising self-employment and new ideas driven by rapid advancements in technology, children and teens are beginning to aspire to one day owning their own businesses.
'This is becoming more of a trend, especially in light of increased tuition fees at English universities, making some question the benefits of higher education.'
However, there are fears this tribe of youngsters, in their bid to succeed, are spreading their focus too thin.
Ika Erwina, a retail and technology analyst for Mintel, said: 'Compared to previous generations, kids and teens increasingly live a sedentary lifestyle.
'These digital natives are interconnected and tend to divide attentions across multiple platforms and channels, prompting impatient behaviors, quick-fix mentality, and instant gratification.
'Their loyalty is likely to mirror this trend, spreading thinly across brands, and easily switched.'

Gasol to donate $26,000 to Japan Relief Fund
Phil Jackson wasn't happy when Pau Gasol shot a short jumper instead of kicking the ball out to a teammate. He still wasn't altogether pleased after Friday's game when he found out why.
Gasol had pledged $1,000 for every point he scored Friday to help the Japanese people affected by the earthquake and tsunami and wanted to score as much as possible. He finished with 26 points in the Lakers' 112-104 victory against the Clippers.
"I'm not particularly a fan of that," Jackson said of a player tying his performance to donations. "Point totals shouldn't be criteria."
Gasol, however, was pleased with the outcome, especially in light of Magic Johnson's promise to match the amount the Lakers forward would be donating. A little math and that comes out to be $52,000 to the Japan Relief Fund.
"It was great. We're creating awareness of how many people are suffering," Gasol said. "Obviously, the natural disaster that Japan suffered is really rough. So I think that all the support that we can create and all the more that we can contribute, the better. This was a good way for me to be involved."
Gasol said his shot was going in and that made the night even better. He was 10 of 15 from the field and 6 of 6 from the line. He also pulled down eight rebounds.
"I was doing well," he said. "That meant a lot more than just having a good game for myself and for my team. When you are playing for something beyond the usual, which is not little, it makes you feel really good about yourself, especially when other people are benefitted from it."

Last week, The New York Observer published a story called 'The Luxury Rental Girlfriend'. Penned by Lisa Taddeo, the article kicked off with the teaser, "Why buy the long-term relationship when short-term does the trick?"
Admittedly, I was hooked. Despite not having had a girlfriend, I couldn't help picturing the relationship equivalent of an upscale timeshare in the Caribbean. Could it be that a whole new era of sexual commerce has evolved before us while we lay, bleary-eyed and monogamous?
To help us navigate the premise, the author introduces us to Jack - a thirtysomething Manhattanite who hangs out at downtown hipster haunts and is "good-looking, makes money, and has a nice apartment"- in other words, a trifecta of single male triumph.
But first, Taddeo wants us to take a moment to feel the weight of his unique burden:
"You're Jack, and you take a girl out to dinner... and she spends three hours deciding if you're the kind of guy who will like her more if she sleeps with you or if she doesn't."
The trouble continues: "There are girls who ride horses and lawyers and designers and tall ones and short ones, stacking their needs up across his walls and then saying those are not needs, they are shadows."
Maybe it's the trauma of finding strangers "stacking needs across his walls" (actual meaning unknown) or maybe it's the neurosis of the dinner-eating women who wouldn't put out - either way, it's at this point that the author reveals that even though "Jack can have any girl he wants", he now prefers the company of expensive escorts.
According to Taddeo, Jack is part of a new, aspirational breed of johns who call themselves 'hobbyists'. Their hobby being "sleeping with beautiful women and then reviewing and categorizing them". This happens mostly on an escort directory, The Erotic Review (TER), a massively trafficked site which gets between 250,000-300,000 visitors a day and functions like "Yelp for the sex trade". (But which sounds more like a kind of sexual Mordor). Anyone who signs up as a member can leave their two cents about the escort they hired, rating details like, "Hair length? Photo Accurate? Shaved? More than one guy at a time? Full, no rush session?"
You can almost hear Taddeo telling this story at a pub - the way urban legends are told - pausing to savour our reactions. Here's a growing group of Esquire-reading, globe-trotting men who are opting for paid sex over relationships. The most obvious explanation? The wives and girlfriends just can't seem to get things right.
We're told that a rental girlfriend "puts out every time like she's bucking for a rating" and "knows how to dress a roast and when to listen", while a 'Wife in Training' typically dreams about her wedding after a first date, is either overweight or obsessively working out, underestimates the importance of a night being over and wonders about things like why men don't walk four flights of stairs to pick her up for dinner. Most importantly, she also lacks the "magic switch" that lets her have sex without imposing oppressive "emotional requirements" thereafter.
It's hard to say which is more disappointing - that these wildly dated stereotypes still exist or that a female writer expects us to buy into them. Isn't there an alternative explanation to the popularity of the girlfriend experience? Or why someone like Jack who finds relationships suffocating has no problem paying his escort's car insurance, taking them out to dinner or hanging up their plasma TVs?
Interestingly, a 2012 study shows that up to one third of men who pay for sex "also want to have a personal relationship with the escorts". Researchers analysed the 2,442 postings from the online forum of The Erotic Review and found that "regular clients of a particular sex provider often come to experience feelings of deep affection".
A huge part of the fantasy, it seems, is being able to simulate intimacy while staying firmly in the emotional driving seat. "Sometimes it's just that I can have this beautiful girl sitting on the couch beside me," says Jack, "I don't even want to f**k her necessarily, it's just nice to know I can reach across and touch her right boob, if I want to."
"Like any other commercially packaged leisure activity, intimacy is now readily available for a price," wrote study co-authors Ronald Weitzer and Christine Milrod. In fact, the high price tag could even create the illusion that paid relationships are better than ordinary dates. "You take care of expensive things... The more you charge, the more worth it a man thinks you are," explains professional escort Katelyn.
Ultimately, Taddeo believes that men want to "make love and nibble on lips and watch television and Herbal Essence a woman's hair in the shower and even tell her that they love her, and know she won't turn it into something else."
For the men's sake as well as ours, let's hope this isn't the full picture.

lady narcissa replied to lady narcissa's topic in EntertainmentRegarding Shaw's episode...things struck me as not real when she was in that drug store, blacked out and then had those solid red hands with no blood anywhere else on her which made no sense. But I think I realized it was a simulation when Reese was shot. Major characters might die in this last season but I couldn't imagine it would be that early. And it reminded me of the last time we saw him *die* on the show. It was interesting to have Elias return. Although I had seen his name listed as appearing in a couple of upcoming episodes I was thinking it was going to be flashbacks. So it was a surprise to find him alive. Wonder what his purpose will be.
Slug 'em back - Drinking Continues!
lady narcissa replied to Fragile Bird's topic in General ChatterHaving developed an allergy to alcohol many moons ago I tend to avoid cocktail type places as they make me sad about all the things I can't have. But some friends from out of town were visiting and wanted cocktails so we went to Green River which is a newish cocktail place by the guys who have The Dead Rabbit in NYC. For a person who likes history and stories, the menu of drinks alone was worth the visit as it contained both of those in addition tomany lovely ingredients. But then I was inheaven as they made me some mocktails that were so delicious I didn't care that they didn't have alcohol in them and I didn't feel left out of the drinking.

Urban Fantasy/Paranormal Romance v. 3.0
lady narcissa replied to LugaJetboyGirl-irra's topic in LiteratureMMMmmm, I've got to say I just finished A Court of Mist and Fury and its not at all what I expected. Yes, we did call one aspect of it but it absolutely was not the story I was expecting to read. I was surprised. The beginning of the book was a bit redundant and boring but then it sort of fits with the heroine's own state of mind. Then what we sort of predicted happens butI was disappointed that what I was really looking forward to happening did not end up happening. But somewhere around the middle it all came together and worked for me. As to these books being rapey? Yeah, not at all.There are relationships andsex in them but its consensual. And itdoesn't go on for pages on end, in fact there is more flirting and sexual tension in the second book than the actual act.Andwhile these books are marketed and sold as YA, that is the publisher's decision, not the author's. Maas has stated these books wereintended for a more mature audience, not YA. Can teenagers read and enjoy then? Absolutely. But these books are not about teenagers. One aspect of Maas's books that seems to enrage some is that the heroine doesn't always stay with the person the reader expects or wants. With YA and romance novels there has been thisbuilt in expectation createdthat the first person the heroine kisses has to be *the one and only* person the heroine will ever kiss and they will be her ONE TRUE LOVE. But that isn't the way the world works. Very few people end up or want to end up with the first person they have a relationship with. People grow and change. What works for you at 20 doesn't necessarily work for you at 25. Maas's books reflect that.

lady narcissa replied to lady narcissa's topic in EntertainmentThe POI writers live tweet when the show airs and its fun to see what real life inspiration there are in each episode for various things like the playstations being used to create a supercomputer. This was their inspiration for that: http://phys.org/news/2010-12-air-playstation-3s-supercomputer.html That flashback scene with Harold and the machine was fantastic. I was really sad for it as he pushed the button and it all went away and then when Harold immediately changed his mind but it was too late... Btw, [spoilers] has been added to the thread title so spoil away.
[SPOILERS] The Raven Cycle - The Raven King is out
lady narcissa replied to kairparavel's topic in LiteratureUgh. Hate the bait and switch. Have to process that. (But *sidebar* ME TOO! I preordered and it downloaded earlier in the evening on Monday night. I was so excited! RHYSAND!)
[SPOILERS] The Raven Cycle - The Raven King is out
lady narcissa replied to kairparavel's topic in LiteratureARTEMUS! How did I forget...oh I guess that is because he WAS HARDLY IN THE BOOK! What the hell was up with that?!??! Awesome long slumbering sleepers at last awoken only to hang out in an attic and a tree?!?!?! That was a letdown. And yeah, how did they survive but Glendower died? There was that comment about how maybe Artemus screwed it up but that was about it. So Artemus experimented on Glendower first, screwed up, and then put himself to sleep? And now what are they going to do? And Mr. Grey...where did you go?!?!?! Hmmm not sure about Matthew. I guess my initial impression without rereading and paying more attention is that Gansey died soon enough to prevent his unmaking? And that he is still in DC. At least that is what I am going to choose to believe. Interesting observation. And would explain why I lost interest in this series. I was interested in Gansey and his quest. Ronan and his dreams always felt like interlopers to the story set up by the first book. But the things that seemed instrumental to Glendower and the quest such as Cabeswater turned out to be all around Ronan. Also, what is with the title - The Raven King....its not until about 70% through the book that the phrase is finally used. And he isn't even in it. I can't wait for X-Ray to finish. X-Ray if you are enjoying the first few chapters of the book, I suspect you are going to have a vastly different reaction to this book

Apparently Carrie Preston and Michael Emerson's real life dog, Chumley, will be making an appearance in the episode. Along with Carrie herself. Curious to see if its another flashback with her or if we get to see her in the present. Man after so many years of Michael Emerson being awesome on television with Lost and POI, I hope he gets something new and fabulous soon.
Person of Interest - Only 13 Episodes Left [SPOILERS]
lady narcissa replied to lady narcissa's topic in EntertainmentI am beyond ready for this. I can't believe it's been a whole year since Season 4 ended. I just did a fast tracked rewatch of Season 4 today. Some really phenomenal episodes. I'm curious to see what recurring characters they manage to squeeze into this last season. Is Control gone or is she still lingering in a hole somewhere?
[SPOILERS] The Raven Cycle - The Raven King is out
lady narcissa replied to kairparavel's topic in LiteratureWell I finally finished and.....meh. As an individual book I think it was a mess. As a conclusion to a series...well it does cover and end most things. But only the last 30% of the book. The first 70% was just all over the place and completely unnecessary. I don't even know how to discuss this. I guess I'll just start with some basic topics. HERE BE SPOILERS All the new people. WTF. Here is a series already bloated with characters. So I guess let's just add a bunch of new ones? I'll give her some credit, I had no problem keeping track of everyone. But they were completely unnecessary. Piper's father and the other two...what point did they serve? Orphan Girl was also just pointless. Henry was fun but his role could have gone to someone else and if he was going to be here in the end, bring him more in the beginning of the series. It's seemed like some kind of pandering to the tumblr crowd who had been complaining about how white washed the series was. Gansey's death. Of course he was going to die and be resurrected. But after all that buildup about it, it was completely dull. And what is the price he pays for it? What are the consequences of coming back? I guess we will have to wait for Gansey/Blue/Henry The GAP Year. The Demon. It looked like A WASP? What the hell? That was beyond ridiculous and completelydiminished it. One of the inspirations for this series was Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising - the most evil character in that series looks like Jason Isaacs (okay completely my interpretation but that is how he looks when I read it!) The most scary evil is the seductively beautiful evil. (Think the Darkling in Leigh Bardugo's series.) It would have worked so much better if the Demon had manifested a human form instead of that silly insect form. Would have made the scenes with Piper and Neeve so much more interesting. And it just dies and disappears when Gansey dies? Adam and Ronan. This felt like complete pandering to the tumblr crowd as well. Gansey and Blue...I felt like Blue and Henry had more chemistry. I see some interesting times ahead on that Gap year. Adam and his parents. What was the point of that scene at the end????? Completely unnecessary. Instead of giving us some more details about what happens to Noah who was one of the main characters and important to everyone from book one, let's get a few pointless pages. Glendower. This was a hugely disappointing aspect to the story.On the one hand itwas almost comical that he was dead and didn't come back. (But absolutely completely ridiculous that he is in a cave beneath a house in I guess suburban DC somewhere.) But on the other hand, it was the biggest letdown. I think it is at the heart of my disappointment with this series in general. There was something in the first book for me that just disappeared from the series and was never to be seen again. When I read the first book I just loved it so much I wanted tohug it and share it with everyone I knew who loved books.I loved the characters. I loved the details. I loved the promise of magic and adventures and friendship/love. The books that are cited as inspiration for thisseries are all ones that I love in totality and have all those ingredients and maintain them throughout. I didn't expect this series to completely replicate them in execution but did expect it to do so in spirit. But instead of making me feel sad and yet delighted as those other series did when I came to the end and ever likely to reread and revisit them frequently, this one just made me feel relieved that the series was over and I could just let it go and move on from it. Did I like anything about it? I liked that most things were resolved even though I wasn't too keen on how they were. Glad that Neeve was seen again before being finished off. I found theidea of the Unmaking and Cabeswater coming apart interesting. I still find Gansey an interesting character. And I still love that first book. I'm just going to have to find some way to reconcile it with the rest of the series.
[SPOILERS] The Raven Cycle - The Raven King is out
lady narcissa replied to kairparavel's topic in LiteratureI got to about that point last night too. I agree about the new characters, it was okay adding them through Book 3 but by Book 4 it should be streamlining and eliminating them, not adding more. It's already a fairly large cast. As for your spoiler...do we need to use [sss] in a marked Spoiler thread? None the less I'm not sure what to think about that just yet. I'll see what more of it we see in these next few chapters. Interview with Maggie about the series. Nothing spoilery. http://www.vulture.com/2016/04/maggie-stiefvater-says-ya-is-a-bullshit-label.html
Makeup V: Inspired by a Diva
lady narcissa replied to Fragile Bird's topic in General ChatterMAC is pretty good about not discontinuing colors. I've been using their Oh Baby lip gloss everyday for20+ years now. Every time I go in to buy a new stash I always get this panicked feeling that this time it won't be there. But they always assure me it isn't going anywhere as its one of their best sellers. I have a tube of O as well from many moons ago.
[SPOILERS] The Raven Cycle - The Raven King is out
lady narcissa replied to kairparavel's topic in LiteratureYeah I am not a Ronan fan. I didn't mind him in Book One as he was just one of a cast ofcharacters. But then when he took over and completely dominated Book Two, that is when he began to annoy me. I liked Book Three because it moved back to the assortment of characters with less focus on Ronan. Right now with Book Four I find myself lingering over the chapters with everyone else but Ronan and then sort of fast forwarding over his dreams. Characters like Gansey typically interest me more than characters like Ronan.
[SPOILERS] The Raven Cycle - The Raven King is out
lady narcissa replied to kairparavel's topic in LiteratureI am reading it but it's slow going as I have a lot going on and have been only able to read a few chapters a night. I'm probably about the same place you are with my reading. My gut feeling with no spoilers is I'm not going to love it. I absolutely loved loved the first book, hated the second and felt the third brought it back to some middle ground. I suspect this last book will bring back some book two stuff I didn't like. But at this point I'm determined to see this series out.
Person of Interest - Only 13 Episodes Left [SPOILERS]
lady narcissa replied to lady narcissa's topic in EntertainmentYeah, while I am still incredibly pissed off about its cancellation, I've made some peace with it. Other than POI my absolute favorite tv shows have been Alias, Lost, and Fringe. Both Alias and Fringe were cancelled and got short last seasons and their finales were satisfying for me...Fringe especially. Lost on the other hand (if I am remember this correctly) was allowed to decide when to end on its own and they had a pretty full season of episodes with which to end things and it pretty much sucked. So I am going to take comfort with that and remind myself a full season of episodes doesn't make for better television.Hopefully at least this way we get an incredibly tight and fabulous blowout of 14 episodes with POI. But I'm going to need something to fill the void after this.

The LucidTouch is a new mobile concept launched by Microsoft and Mitsubishi that gives the end user the ability to control the devise by touching its see-through back; users can choose to manipulate objects by touching a sensor pad on the back of the device which allows them to resize images and texts as well as navigate around any graphical user interface without their hands getting in the way of the display.
Techfresh says, "The key to making the LuciTouch usable is its pseudo-transparency: By overlaying an image of the user's hands onto the screen, Microsoft has created the illusion of the mobile devise itself being semi-transparent. This pseudo-transparency allows users to accurately acquire targets while not smudging the screen with their fingers".
