Web's Largest listing of crowdsourcing and crowdfunding events
2,968 crowdsourcing and crowdfunding sites
One of the greatest crowdsourcing fails since the term was coined became official just a few days ago. Most people have never heard of Prizes.org, but they've probably heard of the company that half-heartedly ran the crowdsourced contest platform for less than a year before giving up on it -- Google.
Today, Prizes.org is officially dead. After initially announcing the discontinuation of the product last summer, it finally went offline on January 31.
- Google's Project Glass and Ingress: Really About Crowdsourcing More Data?
- Google Crowdsources Maps of North Korea, Gulags Included
The story of Prizes.org is a case of an ambitious vision unrealized and a platform and a community essentially left to rot at the hands of corporate neglect. Here's how Google explained the platform when it launched in the middle of 2011:
It's a place where you can win real cash prizes by coming up with the best ideas to help others out. People create contests on Prizes.org with real money bounlties for anything they need, ranging from advice for the perfect weekend getaway, ideas for a best man's speech, to a plan for losing weight for summer.
At the time, Google also said its long term vision for Prizes.org was to create something similar to the X Prize Foundation, which puts up big money to encourage the crowd to solve big problems. But what Prizes.org became during its very short life was a home for scammers and a (rarely noticed, but very real nonetheless) black-eye for Google and the entire crowdsourcing movement.
Prizes.org is one of the very few platforms that we here at Crowdsourcing.org received multiple complaints about from readers. Reports of fraudulent contests, shill entries and other kinds of nastiness also permeate a number of online forums.
Google appears to have made an effort to intervene in some cases of fraud, but without any clear resolution to the complaints. Just like Prizes.org itself, even the most widely flagged instances of fraud (like the notorious Gourth Bags contest), ever garnered much attention.
Prizes.org was the only legacy product of Google's 2010 acquisition of social gaming company Slide that wasn't axed shortly after the search giant bought the small company for a few hundred million dollars. Google quietly launched Prizes.org in mid-2011 and then seemed to forget about it.
The crowd has demonstarted time and time again its capability to police itself, but for the system to work, it's important that there be a little bit of adult supervision, usually in the form of a platform that lays down the ground rules and then enforces them.
When those rules aren't strong enough, or your platform operator is too busy buying Motorola and battling Apple to enforce them, you get Prizes.org.
Meanwhile, the bounty or prize-based model is alive and well. Bounty IT and BusinessLeads are just two examples of platforms that are pulling it off better than Google did. Hopefully neither of them get bought out by a quarter-trillion dollar company and thrown into the digital compost heap.

Thank you so much Eric its interesting to see how a big company that has all the power to become the most important crowdsouricing machine in the world can fail....Google could learn a lot from Peter the founder of the X prize if you are mission driven NEVER GIVE UP! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a828U54X0VM&feature=youtu.be what did they do wrong? Or do you realy think that they give up on all the great ideas because they are not mission driven...thank you for making a difference i also retweeted Crowdsourcing Takes Center Stage in Businesses http://blogs.wsj.com/cio/2013/02/01/crowdsourcing-takes-center-stage-in-businesses/ … #innovation @ClintBoulton http://blogs.wsj.com/cio/2013/02/01/crowdsourcing-takes-center-stage-in-businesses/
Retweetet von Hans Lak Google quo vadis?
Mr. Diamandis hopes to help large corporations shake off any anti-crowdsourcing sentiment. In March, the Singularity University Mr. Diamandis co-founded to educate business leaders about emerging technologies will host a program to teach senior executives from Google, PepsiCo, The Dow Chemical Co. and other companies on how crowdsourcing is changing the dynamics of business. "Companies are changing how they create their content, their workforces, and produce their products," Peter Diamandis could give Google.org the power to realy CHANGE THE WORLD!
Google "prizes.org reviewopedia" all the decent users of prizes.org have posted their grievances on that page.
Thanks for the tip, Karan, here's the site address for everyone: http://reviewopedia.com/workathome/prizes-org-reviews-legit-or-scam/
We learned a lot from Prizes.org, communicated with many of the users and listened to their grievances. That is why when we founded http://www.youzingit.com/ we limited the ability to create our "Request for Ideas" to bona fide companies through a strict brand verification process. There are also other structural protections for users' idea submissions. We are in beta right now after lots of work studying the market and industry as well as working with IP attorneys.
What a shame they took it down! Prizes.org was for us one of the benchmarked services that we tried to outperform early on, and ended up doing a very different approach to leveraging the wisdom of crowds. At Innopinion (http://www.innozed.com) we've dealt with the scam and spam issue by implementing an extra crowdsourced verification round to most of our innovation/problem-solving campaigns that are open for public, but in most cases we monitor who's allowed to join particular campaigns in the first place. Most campaigns are somewhat limited who gets to join; pre-approved, invitation only, from @company.com, etc.
Brian Taylor, I'm not sure what you found out after the demise of Prizes.org. Former users have said that the same type of activity is now going on within another very active naming site. There's a lot of "created" characters who pose as legit contestants and contests which clearly never were meant to be paid out. Isn't there a way to legally challenge site gaming?

Ajmal originally wanted to go to college and enter medical school; however, due to economic difficulties surrounding his household, he was not able to pursue his higher education goals. Instead of taking the college tests, he had to turn to his father's retail shop to make a living. His father's business, however, is not big enough to support the whole household, including Ajmal's wife and kids.
Ajmal has decided to join his father's business and enlarge the store's inventory to increase profitability. With taking out a loan, Ajmal will be able to not only increase the family store's daily profit and support the cost of living for the household, but also be able to pursue his educational goals. He will attend to the shop half the day and go to college the second half. He has applied for a 50,000 Afghani loan to achieve this goal.

Figures from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers show as much as 2bn tonnes of food never makes it on to a plate
As much as half of all the food produced in the world - equivalent to 2bn tonnes - ends up as waste every year, engineers warned in a report published on Thursday.
The UK's Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IME) blames the "staggering" new figures in its analysis on unnecessarily strict sell-by dates, buy-one-get-one free and Western consumer demand for cosmetically perfect food, along with "poor engineering and agricultural practices", inadequate infrastructure and poor storage facilities.
In the face of United Nations predictions that there could be about an extra 3 billion people to feed by the end of the century and growing pressure on the resources needed to produce food, including land, water and energy, the IME is calling for urgent action to tackle this waste.[view whole blog post ]

Your tree may have a couple of insect problems. The webbing sounds like it may be from fall webworm, which does attack sycamore trees. If the webbing is on a small tree in a location where you can reach the webbing, the easiest control is to physically remove the webbing in the evening when the worms tend to gather back in the nest. Crush and destroy them. If the webbing is on a large tree, the amount of defoliation that the worms do likely will not permanently harm the tree. This late in the growing season, the tree has built up enough energy reserves to come back next year without suffering too much. If you decide that you would like to spray an insecticide, it would likely take a commercial applicator to reach up into the large tree.
The black ""seed-looking things"" on the leaves could possibly be frass from the feeding of the caterpillars, or it might be sycamore lace bugs. Sycamore lace bugs suck plant sap from the leaves, causing the leaves to develop speckling of lighter yellow or green where they feed. If there is no speckling, it may just be the leftovers from the caterpillar feeding that you see.

Remedy High in Lead Warning
The Food and Drug Administration has issued a statement warning the public about a specific powdered remedy which can contain up to 79% lead. The name of the powder is Litargirio. It is used as a deodorant, a foot fungicide, a burn treatment, a wound treatment and for a variety of other health-related and personal purposes. Children especially should not be exposed to Litargirio because the high lead content can cause them permanent brain damage.
Comment: Litargirio is not a new product. Why has it taken the FDA so long to get onto it? It seems that the FDA is slow to get on to ethnic products, ones coming from Asia, Latin America and elsewhere. The FDA needs to realize (as it undoubtedly already has) that it is a small world today.
For more in-depth information, please see the following articles:
Barbara K. Hecht,
FDA Warns Consumers About Use of "Litargirio"-Traditional Remedy That Contains Dangerous Levels of Lead
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning the public not to use "LITARGIRIO" for any health-related or personal purposes. Litargirio is a yellow- or peach-colored powder manufactured by Roldan, Ferreira, and possibly other laboratories in the Dominican Republic. It has no proven health benefits and, because of its high lead content, poses health risks when used in contact with the skin or ingested. These risks are particularly serious for children.

Michael Brenner has long been a recognized leader in content marketing in his role as VP marketing at SAP.
Very recently, he joined content marketing technology vendor NewsCred to head strategy for that company. NewsCred is a rapidly growing content marketing technology platform that also offers licensed and original content. Clients include Bank of America, Time Inc. and P&G.
This is a rare moment when an executive from the brand side of content marketing has decamped to the vendor side of the industry. In light of this, I decided to interview him to hear his motives for the move and to look back at his accomplishments at SAP.
What's the new role?
Head of strategy. Basically, my main area of responsibility is to help each client build out a content marketing model, which obviously then get supported by the technology by the content marketing cloud platform.
This is the first time, to my knowledge, that an executive has moved from the client to the vendor side in content marketing. What prompted the decision?
At SAP, I was building content marketing as a practice, and I had tremendous support from the CMO. We built a blog presence for thought leadership, not only creating an effective platform butdoing so on a very limited budget. It wasn't a significant investment; if anything, it was a reduction in some other expenditures — for example, on the advertising landing page side.
So when I was looking at what to do next, the options were to continue to mature that model in the brand that I was working with, or to take a leadership/CMO type role within a small company.
I jokingly define content marketing as the gap between what businesses generally do when they market and what customers are actually looking for. So I made the decision to help other brands take the journey to close that gap.
Most marketing sucks — or at least most marketing is highly ineffective. This move will allow me to help other brands be more effective, to reach more customers and generate more sales.
I hear education will be part of the new job?
The first step when I talk to marketing leaders is to explain the value of content marketing — or, more specifically, to arm them with the knowledge to help them obtain buy-in from higher-ups.
CEOs (and even some of the older-school, traditional marketing professionals) still see marketing largely as promotional activity: the email blasts, the ads, the logos all over everything, etc. That''s why most marketing is still in the stage that it's in. But as consumers, the digital/social/mobile world has changed the way we expect to interact with brands.
We're not going to put up with cold calls at dinnertime, or with emails we don't want, or with banners that interrupt the content experience we're looking for online. So if we, as marketers, are not going to be doing those things anymore, what do we need to do instead?
That's the educational part. It took me some time, but I've slowly come to realize that ineffective marketing is not really the fault of the majority of marketers — they're just doing what they've been asked to do. So we're arming them with the information to educate those who are asking them to execute.
Most organizations don't have infrastructure, roles, or even a documented content strategy.
Where will you start?
After education, the next step is to identify the problem. When I worked at SAP, we helped the organization understand there was a definite content problem.
Part of that process included highlighting all of the customer conversations we weren't a part of. For example, we looked at our analytics to estimate how much of our website traffic was coming from people who are in the early stages of the buying process — and we realized we weren't getting any traffic from early-stage search terms.
None of the people who were in the early stages of the buying process for products related to SAP were being exposed to the brand through search. That's a massive content problem.
We then did an inventory and found that we were already creating content and targeting the people talking to our sales guys. So we identified that budget and that content and asked, "How much of that content is actually being used?"
To this day, I'm shocked. We looked at all the content repositories we had — I think there were 62 — and noted the content that was either viewed or downloaded by the intended recipient. Something like 60 percent of the content uploaded to these repositories was never looked at or downloaded by a single person.
That's why often I tell people, "You don't need any more budget. Just look inside your organization at the places that are creating content and see if it's used at all."
That's the most rudimentary type of content audit you can perform.
Exactly. So if we took 40 or 50 percent of this budget, we would have more than we would ever need to build an effective content marketing platform.
So the first step is education. The second step, as you said, is the most rudimentary type of content audit.
Then it's building the new thing. That starts with understanding search, understanding content requirements by stage. Personas can be helpful here, but only when done correctly. When creating personas, a lot of companies stop short of understanding the types of content each persona is looking for, the channels through which they can be reached, and their stage in the buying process. Yet that's where a persona actually becomes effective — you can implement an activity against a persona when you know what they're looking for, where they're looking, and when they need it.
Once you know that, that's where the infrastructure, tools and the technology come in.
Looking back at your SAP achievements, what are you proudest of?
In my seven years at SAP, the first three and a half years were specifically online lead generation. An inbound marketing project turned into a content marketing role. My legacy is building the thought leadership blog. I'm proud of it because it was really up against the tide and flow of the organization. I really had to fight every step of the way to get it done.
There were detractors, and it was surprisingly easy to prove them somewhat wrong — and to do so with very little budget. I had to find the resources around the organization… but with 60,000 employees, you're going to trip over a few smart people who understand the context of online marketing.
A lot of the interaction we had was with external thought leaders. We were looking at Klout scores, we were looking at bloggers we already knew in big data and cloud computing and analytics. We didn't have the budget to create our own positions, despite the fact that that it was what my boss wanted, so we decided to "curate" the position from thought leaders. I was proud not just that we built it, but that ROI was so clear from Day One.
What are your new success metrics?
We're going to figure that out as we go. The main objective is to make sure they're not walking around with a hammer so that every problem looks like a nail. We truly want to help the entire discipline of marketing get better and improve. It's not just technology that can do that. Our mission is to help marketers evolve to the changing world.
That involves three different things:
One, there's going to be a services business helping customers build an effective content marketing platform.
Two, we're going to work on pipeline acceleration — helping customers get onboard quickly and effectively and generate a return from their investment.
Three, we're going to focus on retention. That means going back to the happy customers and making sure they're stretching themselves to think about what the next thing is. It also means helping with the product pipeline and make sure the product is staying up to pace with the needs of the marketplace.
Where do you see the content marketing vendor landscape going?
In the last six months, this industry has changed so rapidly. Some early players are starting to relegate themselves to the position of niche players. Folks like Contently and Percolate and NewsCred almost came out of the blue. At SAP, we were talking to Percolate two years ago and thought they were an interesting sort of CMS — it's unbelievable what they've built in such a short period of time. You're starting to see these new horses in the race.

Peer Pressure
Published: September 13, 1998
(Page 2 of 2)
Harris's brilliant stroke was to change the discussion from nature (genes) and nurture (parents) to its older version: heredity and environment. ''Environment'' is broader than nurture. Children, like adults, have two environments: their homes and their world outside the home; their behavior, like ours, changes depending on the situation they are in. Many parents know the eerie experience of having their child's teacher describe their child in terms they barely recognize (''my kid did what?''). Children who fight with their siblings may be placid with friends. They can be honest at home and deceitful at school, or vice versa. At home children learn how their parents want them to behave and what they can get away with; but, Harris shows, ''These patterns of behavior are not like albatrosses that we have to drag along with us wherever we go, all through our lives. We don't even drag them to nursery school.''
Harris has taken a factor, peers, that everyone acknowledges is important, but instead of treating it as a nuisance in children's socialization, she makes it a major player. Children are merciless in persecuting a kid who is different -- one who says ''Warshington'' instead of ''Washington,'' one who has a foreign accent or wears the wrong clothes. (Remember?) Parents have long lamented the apparent cruelty of children and the obsessive conformity of teen-agers, but, Harris argues, they have missed the point: children's attachment to their peer groups is not irrational, it's essential. It is evolution's way of seeing to it that kids bond with each other, fit in and survive. Identification with the peer group, not identification with the parent, is the key to human survival. That is why children have their own traditions, words, rules, games; their culture operates in opposition to adult rules. Their goal is not to become successful adults but successful children. Teen-agers want to excel as teen-agers, which means being unlike adults.
It has been difficult to tease apart the effects of parents and peers, Harris observes, because children's environments often duplicate parental values, language and customs. (Indeed, many parents see to it that they do.) To see what factors are strongest, therefore, we must look at situations in which these environments clash. For example, when parents value academic achievement and a student's peers do not, who wins? Typically, peers. Differences between black and white teen-agers in achievement have variously been attributed to genes or single mothers, but differences vanish when researchers control for the peer group: whether its members value achievement and expect to go to college, or regard academic success as a hopeless dream or sellout to ''white'' values.
Are there exceptions? Of course, and Harris anticipates them. Some children in anti-intellectual peer groups choose the lonely path of nerdy devotion to schoolwork. And some have the resources, from genes or parents, to resist peer pressure. But exceptions should not detract from the rule: that children, like adults, are oriented to their peers. Do you dress, think and behave more like others of your generation, your parents or the current crop of adolescents?
Harris writes beautifully, in a tone both persuasive and conversational. But many people are deeply invested, financially and emotionally, in the ''nurture assumption'' and won't give it up, I suspect, without a fight: the vast advice-to-parents industry and the ''guilty mother'' brigade, whose work fills our airwaves, books, magazines and newspapers; therapists who believe that our personalities and problems are created by unconscious dynamics, neurotic parents or childhood experiences; politicians elected on the claims that day care, divorce and working mothers are bad for children; people who want to blame their parents for everything that's wrong in their lives; and parents who understandably want credit for their efforts to raise good kids in tough times.
Others, however, may reject this book because of concerns about its potential misuses. If children ''naturally'' exclude ''outsiders,'' why should schools make any effort to integrate children of different ethnicities, sexes or abilities? Why should we pay for prenatal care or better schools if smart, resilient kids will turn out all right whatever we do, and troubled ones will be lost to deviant peer groups?
These concerns are especially important in our antichild culture, which already lags behind European nations in measures supporting children's health, education and universal day care. Some people may indeed try to use Harris's evidence to legitimize our national neglect of children. For those committed to the well-being of all children, however, here is information that can lead to better programs, ones that might actually work.
For example, Harris makes it clear why most bilingual education programs have failed: Children will speak the way their friends do. If other kids are speaking the language they hear at home, that's what they'll speak. If other kids speak English with a Spanish or Bostonian accent, they will acquire an accent too. If other kids are speaking a language they don't know, they'll learn it fast. Any program, bilingual or monolingual, that doesn't take into account the power of peers is doomed. Likewise, Harris shows why the costly programs designed to get teen-agers to avoid drugs, stay in school or abstain from sex have been such duds; they have been targeted to individual teen-agers or their parents.
The greatest fear surrounding Harris's book is that her message will somehow encourage the neglect or outright abuse of children. This concern reveals, perhaps, what a deeply antichild culture we are, for it assumes that we are nice to children only out of a desire to make them perfect replicas of ourselves -- and if we can't, we might as well abandon them. But if you realize you can't turn your shy child into an extrovert, does that mean you won't help her cope in scary new situations? Why should the good news that most children are resilient be construed in any way as an endorsement of neglecting their health or permitting adults to abuse them?
Harris believes that parents should treat children well for the reason they should be kind to their partners -- not in hopes of transforming their personalities or controlling their futures, but in hopes of remaining good friends for a lifetime. Parents matter, she says, primarily in determining the kind of relationship they will have with their children -- friendly or bitter, accepting or adversarial --and how their children feel about them.
Many readers will disagree with Harris's conclusions about the limited influence of parents. Everyone knows people who have spent untold hours with their shy, difficult or learning-disabled children -- genetic predispositions all -- and thereby helped their children succeed in their peer groups, school and life. And everyone has friends whose harsh, unforgiving or neglectful parents left wounds that still hurt, though these wounds might never be apparent on a personality test.
But it would be a shame if readers get so focused on the degree to which parents matter that they overlook Harris's most important message, which is that parents aren't all that matter. This news should reassure people who blame themselves, as society blames them, for their children's problems with drugs, mental illness or violence. But it may panic parents who are consumed by a near-hysterical passion to control their children's personalities, abilities, careers, safety, eating habits -- and inspire them to start feverishly trying to micromanage their children's peer groups as well. Forget it. ''The idea that we can make our children turn out any way we want is an illusion,'' Harris writes. ''You can neither perfect them nor ruin them. They are not yours to perfect or ruin: they belong to tomorrow.'' In the current cacophony of advice to parents, could any words be wiser?

Signs of the Season
When I was a kid, every year around Christmas time, a box would arrive in the mail from Lolly. Lolly was my great uncle's mother-in-law, a soft and huggy lady who lived in Borger Texas and wore a house-dress and apron at all times. She was kind enough to remember us every holiday.
Each member of our family received crocheted slippers handmade for us by Lolly. These over-sized baby booties were usually powder blue and featured drawstring tie closures with decorative pompoms. Each pair always gift wrapped in an empty Ayds Diet fudge candy box, the slippers were a sure thing. Like a Charlie Brown Christmas and the smell of cinnamon, the arrival of the slippers meant that Christmas was close.
After a few nights of wear, our toes would begin to stick out of the holes in the large weave crochet, thus heralding the new year.
6 comments:
Oh my goodness! My grandma used to eat those Ayds candy. I haven't thought of that in 30 years.ReplyDelete
I wonder why they went out of business?
"thus heralding the new year" = geniusReplyDelete
OH I DO SO LOVE THE WAY YOU WRITE. Just spot on, every time.ReplyDelete
Keep up the good work; it makes me, and I am quite sure many, many others, all smiles.
Did Lolly also go by "Grandma June"?ReplyDelete
I think we might be related.

So I am heading up to Minneapolis tomorrow for the Twins v. Nationals series. Any suggestion from any Twin City residents on what to do while everyone is working? We are staying downtown so I really don't want to try and haul off to the Mall but may hit up a casino if I'm really bored... Probably be hanging out with a few of the players too so need to keep them entertained...
Follow me on Twitter at twitter.com/MarkHanrahan20
Check out my blog
and tune into "Extra Innings" Thursdays at 6pm on 1460kxno
If it's a nice day out... head a few miles away to the Uptown and Lake Calhoun area. Lots of great food and nice scenery (females included).
Agree with the Lake Calhoun idea or uptown. If you really like the casino idea, Canterbury has the best/only poker in the area and Mystic Lake has all the slots/blackjack. Canterbury also has a casino games room that has blackjack, 3 card, let-it ride and such. Mystic also is alcohol free, fyi. Make sure you take the walk across the 7th Street bride West of the Target center to check out the new stadium. Block E may also give you guys something to do during the day with Hooters/Gameworks in the same building. I have also heard that Rick's Cabaret offers a great lunch buffet.

The president's budget proposal offers both winners and losers for the Justice Department, but those differences are already stirring criticism from the Democratic Congress. The proposal for the department would cut the overall budget from last year by about $355 million, with aid to local law enforcement and to other grant programs bearing the brunt of the belt tightening.
But the cuts will not affect the National Security Division, which would see a boost of about $10 million in the president's budget. While few would contest the importance of national security work, many in Congress expressed outrage at the cuts.
"This budget is harmful to the American people, law enforcement, and our nation's priorities," Rep. John Conyers, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, said in a statement. "While spending lavishly on the war in Iraq, the president continues to shortchange the needs of our communities."
Among the affected programs is the community-oriented policing program, a Clinton-era initiative known by the acronym COPS that some credit with helping to reduce national crime rates. Its funding, which was $587 million this year, is wiped out in the plan. The weed-and-seed program, an antidrug and antigang policing effort, would drop about $10 million. And the Office on Violence Against Women's budget of $400 million last year would be cut nearly a third, to $280 million. The president's budget also proposes cutting the Legal Services Corporation $40 million below the approximately $350 million appropriated by Congress last year.

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux reportedly moved their wedding because they didn't want their big day to clash with her ex-husband Brad Pitt's nuptials.
The couple had been planning to tie the knot in May but after learning that Brad and Angelina Jolie were going to become husband and wife the same month Jennifer and Justin pushed their date to August to ensure their wedding wasn't overshadowed.
A source told the upcoming new issue of Us Weekly magazine: ''She does not want her day associated with them.''
At one point Jennifer - who split from Brad in 2005 - considered bringing her wedding day forward to avoid a clash but then came to the conclusion there was no need to rush her plans.
The source added: ''Justin got weirded out by all the rushing ... ''Nothing has happened on that front (wedding) in a month.''
Jennifer, 44, and Brad, 49, can't seem to escape each other. They even got engaged to their new partners within a few months of each other last summer.
The 'World War Z' star and Angelina, 37, are believed to be planning to marry at their Chateau Miraval estate in Provence, France, this month and Brad obtained a wedding license at the end of February which allows him to wed within 90 days.
Last week, it was reported former 'Friends' star Jennifer would not be making Justin, 41, sign a prenuptial agreement to protect her estimated $150 million fortune.

Why should I stay?

Follow where you lead
Your eyes

Turn me on to phantoms
I follow to the edge of the earth
And fall off
Everybody leaves

And this is my chance
I get eaten by the worms
And weird fishes
Picked over by the worms

Food for thought
We're fanatical about food at De Vere Venues Sunningdale Park. That's because we serve 1000's of lunches a year – ranging from quick brain-food to group BBQs to intimate private dining with bespoke menus and fine wines.
And on top of that we offer a bottomless supply of free-flowing refreshments. It's food that means business – prepared to perfection.
Steam, Bake & Grill
Our Steam, Bake & Grill restaurant consistently serves up high quality food, topped off by a great atmosphere. Our mouthwatering dishes are freshly prepared; from Roasted Pork belly, sticky red cabbage and apple fritters to Braised Short Rib of Beef with molasses, and sweet potato mash – geared to business appetites and time-constraints.
Light, seasonal menus
All our dishes are prepared with your productivity in mind. So they're healthy, light and energizing – to avoid that post-lunch slump.
And if you'd prefer to have a working lunch or a sumptuous buffet, our Chefs will work closely with you, to serve a menu to fit the occasion.
Refreshment stations
Endless pick-me ups are available at the refreshments stations, located by our meeting rooms; from free flowing freshly brewed coffees, lattes, cappuccinos, teas and mineral water. For that energy boost, we also provide a ready supply of fresh fruit, porridge, home made cakes, biscuits and popcorn served throughout the day.
No wonder De Vere Venues is the UK's number one for business.

You had been dating Francis for five months. The longest you had ever been with a Frenchman. Well, you couldn't complain; Francis was amazing! He made you feel like you were floating on clouds the whole time. Plus, he was awesome in bed. Oh, yes! The way he would kiss you, tease you, and touch you, had you ruining to him every night.
However, there were some moments in which he was a bit demanding, like today. It was his birthday and he texted you five things he wanted. Number one is a dinner in the new French restaurant that opened, number two was a new teddy bear, number three was a couple of new rose plants, but the others were a little too much. You were at work and were pretty sure that he was too, but you didn't care what he was going to say.
"I know it's your birthday, and I know I said I would do anything, but the last two things you want are impossible!" You yelled.
You heard him chuckle, "It's just a little picture."
"No-!" Your cheeks flushed red, "It's not, and if you push it
you won't get any tonight." You made sure the last line was a whisper.
"Mon cheri! You're being o' so cute!" He chuckled, "I already asked Arthur to go buy me the outfit too."
You could picture his grinning expression, "No-! You can't just-!"
"Eh?" Francis was working and you had interrupted, fortunately he worked as a suit salesman, so phone calls were usually excused, "Donne-moi une seconde. Je serai là pour vous aider. Give me a second. I will be there to help you. " He turned his attention to you again, "Bebe, I must leave you! I hope my presents are good! J'taime!"
"No-! Wait-!"
You hear him hang up. You groaned and help you phone high and wanted to throw it on the ground. However, you stopped yourself; you looked at your phone with a picture of Francis dimming down. You gripped it tightly as you saw his taunting smile.
Finally you decided. You entered the bathroom and held your phone in your hand. You closed the door and locked it. The bathroom was one big single room, so trying to grant Francis's wish wouldn't be difficult. You sat down on the sink and thought carefully on how you were going to do things.
" You repeated, rolling your eyes, "Oh god! I hate you!"
You were readty to satisfy your French lover's wish.
Francis was helping someone pick out a tie for her boyfriend's birthday. He said his goodbyes politely and she left satisfied. His phone vibrated in his pocket, he took it out and saw "1 new Message." Flashing. He opened the message and chuckled.
"You take the picture." Was your message with a picture of your smiling face. Francis began to dail you.
"Hello?" You answered.
"That wasn't a dirty picture." He smirked, knowing fully well he was going to get what he wanted.
my first reaction..."THIS WILL BE GOOD!

text: I just acquired this very nice ''randonneuse'' bike equipped with a very nice René Herse crankset and possibly other Herse bits such as the brake straddle cable pulleys and the fenders. I couldn't find anything on A.Corbeau which is the name on the frame and was wondering if it could be a rebranded Herse or if A.Corbeau would have been a builder close to René Herse. Anyways it is very nice and quite light. I have more pictures if needed.

Rhythm & Muse is currently taking a break from regular events, following the temporary closure of the Ram Jam Club. We are taking part in Kingston Connections in June though and we do need poets!
R&M is linking up again with the Stanley Picker Gallery, with a workshop on Wednesday 20 May (6-8pm) at the Gallery and follow up readings and poetry projection on Thursday 25 June in the Rose Theatre Gallery (7.30-9.30pm). Participants are also encouraged to book to join a special Streetscape walk with Fabien Cappello on Saturday 16 May, 2-4pm.
All events are free, so come and get involved!
Rhythm & Muse – a short history…
R&M was launched at The Lion pub in Teddington in 2007 by Alison Hill and Nick Poole and has hosted a wide range of poets and musicians and seen many new voices at the open mic. R&M took to the Ram Jam Club stage in January 2010 and enjoyed four more years of monthly events.
A gem of a venue, a lovely audience, and some great talent. I enjoyed myself immensely! Steve Pottinger
We ran two joint festivals with Kingston Writing School in 2011 and 2012 featuring many poets and musicians including AF Harrold, Liz Berry, Martin Daws, Roger McGough and LiTTLe MACHiNe. We have also staged events at Kingston Library, the Mary Wallace Theatre, the cornerHOUSE, the Landmark Arts Centre and the Rose Theatre.
We've enjoyed great feedback and many positive reviews – Greg Freeman from Write Out Loud was at Christmas finale – http://www.writeoutloud.net/public/blogentry.php?blogentryid=46032
I just wanted to say a big thank you for a great evening last week – what a wonderful array of performers! Jenny Messer
It was good to be back at the Ram Jam, another great evening with Rhythm & Muse. John Grant
