In his session at @ThingsExpo, Mike Kavis, Vice President & Principal Cloud Architect at Cloud Technology Partners, discussed the business value of IoT that goes far beyond the general public's perception that IoT is all about wearables and home consumer services. He also discussed how IoT is perceived by investors and how venture capitalist access this space. Other topics discussed were barriers to success, what is new, what is old, and what the future may hold. Mike Kavis is Vice President & Principal Cloud Architect at Cloud Technology Pa...

Too much suction
By Chris
from Glenview
About Me Frequent User
Best Uses
We have carpeting, tile, and hardwood, with runners and throw rugs. It was very hard to transition off of one type and into another. The suction was lifting the runner. There is no way to decrease the suction for that situation. The ball made it impossible to vacuum under the coffee table. I would recommend this only for wall to wall carpeting.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Kristen Stewart Is the Worst
Did you see "Twilight?" Because I sat through half of it before giving up, and I can honestly say that this Shaker chair (left) is a far more skilled actor than Kristen Stewart. As Bella, Stewart is a blank-faced dish towel, a hollow chasm bereft of emotion. Rather than channel any feeling through her characters, she resorts to annoying facial tics -- like chewing on her lip and blinking a zillion times.
And the Internet agrees with me. See?
Kristen Stewart Thinks She's Too Cool for School
Here she is at the premiere of her film "Adventureland." In jeans and a T-shirt. Would it KILL YOU to maybe slap on some makeup and BRUSH YOUR HAIR? Where is your mom?
And she literally thinks she's too cool for school (she stopped going in seventh grade and still doesn't have a high school diploma), too. Dropping out of school early had a profound impact on her geography skills. Witness her in this "David Letterman" interview:
KRISTEN: I'm actually going to be in Europe for a little while. I'm not sure we're going to end up in London or Berlin. Wherever we end up I'm going to drive to Russia.
DAVE: Let's hope for Berlin.
KRISTEN: I'm actually hoping for London.
You cannot drive from London to Russia, Kristen Stewart.
Kristen Stewart Has ONE Facial Expression.
KS's face makes me want to punch it. That's because she is physically unable to emote.
On the left: KS being sadsville in "The Messengers."
On the right: KS conveying happy in "In the Land of Women."
Can you tell the difference? Neither can we.
And look at her here expressing grief and consternation in "Twilight." Like above, she has the same slightly confused expression (a sure sign that she's a mouth breather).
Kristen Stewart's Boyfriend Rob Pattinson Is Prettier Than Her
This actually isn't a reason why she sucks, it's just a fact that makes me jealous of her. Rob Pattinson is a hot manchild. Real talk.
She Gets Awesome, Undeserved Roles, Like Playing Joan Jett in the New Runaways Biopic
Joan Jett is a rock and roll goddess and feminist icon. KS is not even close. Where Joan Jett is badass leather and studs, KS is Hot Topic at a Long Island mall. Sure, I'll still go see "The Runaways," but I'll probably grimace through the whole thing.
Tell Us: Are you going to see "The Twilight Saga: New Moon?"

But the books were so enjoyable! I'm going to see it in hopes that it's better than the last one... maybe they can CGI some emotions?
PS - Don't forget the Shatner-style pauses and the inexplicable choking and stuttering when attempting to portray anger.

By Julie
Actually, the books are very poorly written and the story doesn't convey a very good message (girls are fragile and need to be protected, they should get up everything they want in life to be with a man who treats them like a child).
Also, I love the roles Kristen Steward gets, and I've definitely seen worse actresses. The author of this article writes this as if Kristen fucked her boyfriend. What did the girl ever do to you? Get a life and stop with the hating.

By rocko
Dude, take a xanax. This chick is totally hot, she was great in Adventureland and Into the Wild. It sounds like you're just confused about your orientation, since you're so hot for her boyfriend, and you're taking it out on here. You should go make out with Perez and console eachother over it all.

By rocko
Dude, take a xanax. This chick is smoking hot and was great in Into the wild. I never saw Twilight, so i don't get all wrapped up in that. But it sounds like you have some orientation confusion, since you seem so hot for her boyfriend, and you're taking it out on her. You should go commiserate with Perez Hilton about it all, make out with one another, and relax a little. You sound unhinged.

Aw, how sweet. Another freaky Robsessed fangirl raging on how she's better than his girlfriend. She looked gorgeous in Sundance-I live about twenty minutes away and got to see her in person one of the days(you have a photo of her above). She's BEAUTIFUL, was made up nicely but casually--LIKE EVERYONE ELSE THERE. You don't dress up for Sundance, you nerd. You dress to stay warm, unless you're Mariah Carey, and then you're just mocked.

Wow, someone needs to alert Kristen's security detail about you- you sound like you're planning to assasinate her or something, you sound so angry. Twilight sucked, but she's really hot and has a great body. I've only seen her in Adventureland, but she was good in that. Sexy but broken. Your anger towards her is creepy.

By Katie
I've noticed this before, where females literally ooze with vitrol against a girl like Kristen. If Kristen was beauty pageant queen pretty and giggled more like a Vanessa Hudgens or a Ashley Greene, you'd be okay with her dating Robert. It's because Kristen is more tomboyish, and less genteel, and doesn't dress and style to impress 24/7, that other females HATE her. If Robert wasn't in the picture, you'd be okay. But because the weird, cranky girl bagged the prom queen, it literally bothers you. Your rant is textbook-look how you admit you are jealous of her dating RP, but then notice how made you are that she doesn't dress and make herself up like a debutatnte all the time. You're angry she isn't playing by the rules and still gets the hot dude.
Friday 20 November
By cinnamontoast
They "literally ooze with vitriol"? Do you know what "literally" means?
I have no personal investment in Rob Pattinson or Twilight. It's all very blah to me; I don't hate it, I don't love it, it's just there. But Kristen Stewart is everything this article says she is, and more. Every time I see her at awards shows or in interviews, she is conceited, droll, and awkward. I'm pretty sure she is also constantly stoned, and while I don't care if people smoke pot on their own time, it usually makes them pretty damn boring to be around if you're not also high. I have no use for her, her greasy hair, or her bad attitude, and I'm ready for her 15 minutes to be over.

RIGHT ON KATIE!!!!!!! You know something, we need more stars like Kristen Stewart who actually have a personality and are not afraid to show it. And i'm sick of hearing how jealous girls are because she "has" RObert Pattinson, get over it. THis article and author are so superficial, clothes. body. makeup. those are the only things that seem to matter to you, lets see you try and act emotions like that... ....
didn't think so
when you do let me know and lets see if you still have the same idea about her
FYI Your eyes are green with jealousy and you don't even know it
Sunday 21 March
By BrdwyBound
Perhaps the reason these arguments sound so textbook, is that everyone who has a problem with her has the SAME problem with her. From the point of view of someone who finds Ropert Pattinson repulsive, she IS a terrible actress. Who did she learn from, Keanu Reeves!? She's consistently deadpan, monotone, and completely out of sync with her character and the other actors on set. She conveys emotion simply by varying how hard she breathes through her mouth. Her facial expressions are reminiscent of a child with Down Syndrome, her posture is worse than my 61 year old grandmother, and her hair.... let's not even GO there.
P.S. loved the author's "Hot Topic at a Long Island mall" comment!

Urban Development Action Grants:
Effects of the 1987 Amendments on Project Selection
RCED-89-64: Published: Jan 30, 1989. Publicly Released: Jan 30, 1989.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO analyzed the effect of 1987 legislative changes desined to ensure fairness in the allocation, distribution, and use of Urban Development Action Grant (UDAG) program funds, focusing on the: (1) distribution of funds among regions; (2) targeting of funds to cities and urban counties with high levels of economic distress; (3) number and types of projects that received the funds; (4) per-capita funding levels of each city, urban county, or community receiving UDAG funds; and (5) stimulation of maximum economic development activity.
GAO found that, after the 1987 amendments took effect: (1) geographic distribution of UDAG funds was more even; (2) the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded 59 grants totalling $146.2 million for large-city projects and 57 grants totalling $43.7 million for small-city projects; (3) the East North Central and Middle Atlantic regions continued to receive the majority of large-city funds; (4) one region decreased its share of large-city funds, while six regions increased their shares; (5) the Mountain and West North Central regions received 5.5 percent of large-city funds, but would not have qualified under the old system; and (6) the Pacific and Middle Atlantic regions received $2.7 million and $6.5 million, respectively, for small-city projects. GAO also found that: (1) large, economically distressed cities received about $26.1 million less because there were fewer eligible projects, while small cities received $7.4 million less; (2) the number of projects selected decreased because average project funding increased; (3) the amendments reduced per-capita funds for large cities from $19 to $14, and increased per-capita funding for small cities from about $295 to $338; and (4) although HUD did not request UDAG program funding for fiscal year 1989, it estimated that about $50 million would be available from cancelled, reduced, or terminated projects to finance small and large-city projects in 1989.

Why "Personalization" of the Web Scares Me
Posted By Holly Buchanan On June 20, 2007 @ 10:32 am In Customer Experience,Improving Conversion,Personas | 8 Comments
[1]I walk into a store. I'm wearing sneakers, running shorts and a slightly wrinkled T-shirt. I need to buy a nice suit for a presentation next week. The clerk walks up to me, takes one look and says, "Our athletic clothing is over here on the right. Here, let me take you there."
Hey, it's a perfectly valid conclusion. Judging by the data she had (I was in athletic clothing, I was even perspiring a little, though it was from the long walk from Cold Stone Creamery, not a 3 mile run). It was perfectly reasonable to show me the athletic department.
The only problem was, I didn't want to go to the athletic department. I wanted to go to the designer suit section.
Personalization is a problem when it takes control away from the customer.
I was at a recent conference where everyone was jazzed-up about the ability to show customized content based on customer data. You track behavior and present content according to what that person does, or has done. You make observations and then make predictions as to what that person wants.
But what if your predictions are wrong?
This kind of personalization scares me because you are taking control away from the visitor. YOU are determining what he or she will see.
There are exceptions. For example, there are three things you want your members to do: If you're a job board, you may want them to sign-up for an account, post a resume, and sign-up for a job alert. It makes total sense to customize content that says, "You've taken step one, but you still need to submit a resume and sign up for a job alert."
Even "Customers who bought this also bought…" is OK. The visitor may have absolutely no interest in these items, but he or she is still in control.
What I'm talking about is, displaying different content for different customers. The customer is no longer in control of what he or she sees.
Do you really have enough insight into what someone is thinking, or what they truly want, from their observable behavior?
What if you have a woman getting ideas for a romantic getaway for her anniversary, and she's looking at resorts that don't allow children so she and her hubby can enjoy some much deserved quiet time? You deduce she's not interested in vacations geared toward kids. But she'd also like to see family vacations to get ideas for the trip she and her whole family will take for spring break.
What if you have a section designed specifically for women, but men want to see it as well? (On The Leo Diamond site, we saw that our male personas left their pathway to visit the "Giving Him Hints" page [2]. This is a page designed for women with ideas on how to give their guys hints as to what they want. But guys wanted to go there because, "Gee, she left a full page Leo Diamond ad on the coffee table…was that a hint?")
What if you have someone behaving like a Spontaneous-type who only wants a quick overview of your services, but knows he has a very Methodical, detail-oriented boss who's going to want a 50-page white paper? His first few clicks would peg him as a Spontaneous, but he still needs Methodical information for his (boss) influencer.
Don't get me wrong. One of the most powerful things about the web is the ability to deliver customized experiences. Future Now is all about creating different experiences for different customers or personas. But nobody can't predict with 100% accuracy exactly what every customer wants to see. That's why we create different pathways or scenarios [define [3]], but we let the customer choose which one s/he will take.
Instead of dictating what customers will see, we allow customers to decide which pathway is best.
This way your visitors can have customized experiences designed to meet their individual needs–but the customer decides those needs, not you. Don't you think the customer is better equipped to understand what he needs?

Merkley applauds mortgage rule changes
Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., on Friday applauded the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's sweeping new rules to reform the nation's mortgage market and protect Americans from predatory home loan practices.
Merkley cheered the agency for putting an end to interest-only loans, "no doc" loans, and loans based on an initial "teaser" interest rate.
Merkley has been a leading voice in Congress for stronger consumer protections in the mortgage marketplace and wrote key provisions in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act that these new rules are based on.
"Too many homeowners were steered into predatory home loans by brokers who got kickbacks for selling sub-prime loans," Merkley said.
"Homeownership should be an engine of opportunity and economic growth. These new rules are a major step towards ensuring that scams and recklessness in housing markets don't threaten families and our economy again in the future."
Merkley also urged a specific path forward on how the "yield spread premiums," also known as steering payments, should be calculated in the new rules. Merkley wrote Dodd-Frank's ban on these payments from lenders to mortgage originators based on the terms of the loans.
"The steering payments rules were not finalized today," Merkley said, "and I urge the CFPB to move forward with strong rules that will protect homeowners from onerous fees and end the incentive to steer new homeowners into predatory loans."

bob's big boy.
the century city thread got me thinking about bob's big too.
anyohow besides the location in burbank, are there any others still in operation. the wilshire and la brea location is now long gone too;
re: goodhealthgourmet
there is one in Torrance on Hawthorne and PCH... but seriously, doesn't anyone google anymore or just go to the restaurant's website?
re: Rodeline
Oh, really? I thought it was going into the old K-Mart spot which is a bit north, at Plummer (I think? I always get plummer and lassen confused).
Had lunch at the Burbank location a couple of weeks ago. THE worst grilled chicken sammy I've eaten in a long time! And, our server (at the counter) could hardly speak English! :( I hope for all of you the new location in Northridge turns in your favor!
re: Kitchen Queen
I try never to stray from the Big Boy Combo or Club Sandwich. Go with what they're known for. It ain't haute cuisine here folks.
re: Burger Boy
The very first reply in this thread by goodhealthgourmet has a link to the Bob's website with a complete menu listing.
re: Burger Boy
With the help of Servorg I found out they no longer make the Brawney Beef, they have something called a Brawney Lad but it is very different. Life sucks, I was gonna get that for lunch today.
re: Burger Boy
That's too bad, B-Boy. When I had my 2nd baby & was still at Prov-St. Joe's I had my mom & hubby get me an order to go. Haven't been back since tho, guess nothing lasts forever!!
re: cagey
Same here. We just went to the Diamond Bar Big Boy's on Sunday. I ordered the Big Boy Combo and hubby (who's not familiar with Big Boy's) ordered the Chicken Parmesan. The Chicken Parmesan was not good, and I said, "That's why I always order the Big Boy Combo."
I grew up in Detroit in the '70's and '80's, and I noticed some differences between what's offered at Bob's Big Boy and what was offered at (then) Elias Bros. Big Boy in Michigan. For example, the sauce on the Big Boy combo at the Michigan restaurants was similar to (but better than) the sauce on the Big Mac. Anybody from other parts of the country notice any other differences? Just curious.
re: wanderinglady
In fact, from my childhood here in SoCal, I also remember the sauce being more like a 1000 Island/Big Mac-style sauce, not the stuff they're using at the Diamond Bar location (where I've been a few times in the last couple of years). Not that there's anything wrong with the current choice of relish (it's the red hamburger relish many folks try to find in stores from time to time); it's just different. I haven't been to the Toluca Lake location in a while, so I can't remember what they're using these days.
re: Jack Flash
I grew up in So Cal eating BB as well, and clearly and lovingly remember the red hamburger relish on the Big Boy burger.
You may be thinking of...when I was a kid, the Northridge Mall had a BB Jr., where they sold single patty burgers...those had the 1000-island-style spread on them.
Anyone else remember the BB Jr. in the Northridge Mall back in the 70s/80s?
re: GK in SO
I think you nailed it - it's the relish. A Big Boy Combo just wouldn't be the same without it. I grew up eating at the one in Santa Monica (SM Blvd @ Yale) but the Toluca Lake (Riverside Dr.) location still gets it right. Ah simple but unique pleasures.
re: wanderinglady
In Pittsburgh, the Big Boy franchise was held by Eat 'n Park. Their version of the Big Boy had tartar sauce, not the red sauce that Bob uses out here. Also, Eat 'n Park's onion rings were the thickest I ever had, each one was almost an inch thick. Sadly they have gone the way of Howard Johnson's...
re: JosephEBacon
Eeewww, tartar sauce is for FISH, not burgers.....
And you still have HoJo's??? Thought they went down a looonnnggg time ago!
re: JosephEBacon
Are you sure it really was tartar sauce, and not Durkee's or something similar? Although I could easily see my favorite kind of tartar sauce, with chopped egg and dill pickle, on a burger...
re: Will Owen
Only if you add some hot sauce or sriracha, otherwise, keep it off my burger!!
re: slowrider
I think that fell apart but I am not sure.
re: Burger Boy
now open
re: heckonwheels
Everyone should be aware that the new Big Boy's that are opening up are more like SMALL fast food joints, not the sit-down, coffee shop-type places that Big Boy used to be (and still is, I guess, in Glendale).
re: asimen
I stopped at one last July on the way back from Las Vegas (I think Baker) that was just converting from Bun Boy?, remodeled and an updated version of the old Bob's, full service coffee-shop style. My friend and I happily gobbled down our combos and they were as satisfying as ever.
re: asimen
The new one that I referred to is sit-down, waiter served. It's not at all like the old "Bob's big Boy Jr." restaurants that were fast-food versions.
re: Will Owen
Hey Will, the Big Boy "Doorman" is as much a visual image of comfort as seeing that double deck "Big Boy" burger and rings on your plate. I am comforted to see the return of the Bob's at the West Covina mall.
I agree that seeing the Big Boy two-timing would not be comforting. Your "YIKES" comment inspired me to post...
re: JeetJet
Frisch's Big Boy.. The Holy Grail of the 1970's Ohio River Valley. The acne-pimpled teen was dispatched for the 2 mile bike ride up to the local Frisch's, to purchase a quart of tartar sauce for the fries mom was making at home. The tartar sauce was dispensed from a levered stopcock machine, (much like today's soft-serve ice cream) into a quart Styrofoam cup, to be nestled into the bicycle basket for the trip home.
Tartar sauce available here (although I am no longer a disciple):

I know there is still one on the 15, not far from Palm Springs...You know what I miss? The comics they used to give you as a kid (circa..'80's??)
I still get a kick out of being in the Toluca Lake Big Boy, and knowing that the Beatles ate (or at least posed) there all those years ago. (As George'd say.)
(see photo, if this link works:)
And I get a Big Boy Combo there once a year, whether I need one or not. (I usually do, mind you.)
re: annagranfors
No wonder I missed them (we sat in the corner booth in the back so many winter Friday nights after HS football games I would need a calculator to count them all up) - they were at the Toluca Lake location in the summer of '65 and I was undoubtedly at the Van Nuys Blvd. Bob's looking for a street race.
re: Servorg
Obviously a Beach Boys fan.
re: mc michael
Hawthorne high
In northeastern Indiana (Ft. Wayne) it was Azar's Big Boy. Good food all around, as I recall. I used to love their chocolate cake.
re: energy
I had my first-ever Chili Size at the BBB on El Camino in Santa Clara. Never did find out exactly why it was called that, but it sure was fun to eat.
re: Will Owen
We called it the "Chili Surprize" because of the patty hidden beneath the chili. If they'd had a chicken hidden under there maybe it would have been a "Pullet Surprize?"
re: Will Owen
Servorg writes: "a 'Pullet Surprize?'"
... for which pun he gets no Bell Prize.
BTW, here's as good an explanation as I've seen of the name "chili size": http://westwardho.typepad.com/westwar... You can also find a few interesting LA Board mentions of surviving versions if you set the search period for 5 years.
re: Harry Nile
I had never heard the phrase "chili size" either, until I moved to the west coast. Interesting. We would've called it smothered hamburger, or chili burger, back in CT.
re: Phurstluv
As a native Californian, I can say that my favorite chili size is at the Frisco Shop, a great old homey cafe, now in a new building in Austin, Tex. They offer both a Chili Burger and a Size Royal. (See menu at http://www.frisconighthawk.com/frisco... ) Anyone who knows the Frisco Shop and can recommend something similar in Los Angeles (hint: NOT Bob's Big Boy and not even Pann's, which I like very much), please do so.
Pann's Restaurant & Coffee Shop
6710 La Tijera Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90045
re: Harry Nile
You might want to check out Twohey's and Pie 'n Burger for their versions and see what you think.
Twohey's Restaurant
1224 N Atlantic Blvd, Alhambra, CA 91801
Pie 'n Burger
913 E California Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91106
re: Servorg
The last time I had chili at Pie 'n Burger it was lukewarm -- easy enough to send back to the stove, but I worried about it sitting around all day at that temperature. Maybe I should try the chili again. I really like their burgers and especially the hashbrowns and pies.
In any case, I'm looking for a place with a larger menu of the type and quality offered by the Frisco Shop.
Pie 'n Burger
913 E California Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91106
re: Harry Nile
Pie n' Burger is a train wreck of a place - I ate there once and was mortified at the filth I saw, just by being at the counter. Don't know how that place stays open, frankly.
re: Phurstluv
Except for the lukewarm chili, which may well have been anomalous -- that's why I proposed trying it again -- I've never seen unsanitary conditions at Pie 'n Burger. Nor did the city inspectors who visited last April and gave them 98/100, the same as the Athenaeum at Cal Tech, e.g. (See: http://cityofpasadena.net/RestaurantI... )
I still have fond memories of the one on Van Nuys Blvd. The drive in when it was deemed fun to have BB combo on a tray attached to the car window. After band rehearsals at the Glendale location just a couple of years ago. Now that I know about the West Covina location I might try it sometime even if it's a fast food location. And yes I remember the Nortridge Mall location in the 80s'.
A new Bob's is coming to Pasadena on Del Mar near Lake, in a space that formerly housed a Baja Fresh.
Del Mar Cafe
712 S Del Mar Ave, San Gabriel, CA 91776
re: Jack Flash
Thanks Jack! I feel a departmental lunch coming soon!
re: Jack Flash
Thank you, lord! I was beginning to think you couldn't open anything in that area that wasn't either veggie or just too damned good for you. I just wonder how much of that market is left after Pie'n'Burger and The Hamlet take their cut...
re: Will Owen
That's where Pappy Parker's fried chicken comes in. That and hopefully a good Bob's vibe. If they get those things right, I think they can carve out their own niche.
There's a new Bob's Big Boy in OC @ the Stadium Promenade on Katella Avenue near Main Street (east of the 57 and the Honda Center in the King's Fish House area).
