It was late 2008 when IBM first started to talk about building a Smarter Planet, and how software fits into that story. Yet, occasionally, I still hear rumblings from IBM's Software Business Partners who are unsure how a big, lofty idea such as Smarter Planet ties into what they are doing on a day-to-day basis. Recently, a series of new resources were published on PartnerWorld to help you further the IBM Software Story with your clients, so I figured now would be as good a time as any to help break this down for you and explain how IBM's Smarter Planet vision and strategy can help you generate new business opportunities.

Quick Summary: Smarter Planet for Dummies

Basically, Smarter Planet is a response to several fundamental shifts that have been happening in the marketplace over a number of years. You'll see IBM using three key words to describe the shift: the world is becoming more instrumented + interconnected + intelligent. What does this mean, in a nutshell? Smart devices are generating more data are generating more data than ever before, and companies need help making use of this data. Web 2.0 is enabling them to interact and collaborate with their customers in real-time, increasing the speed at which business happens. Intelligence, in the form of software, is being integrated into all aspects of business, and into the systems and processes that make the world work: cars, appliances, roadways, power grids, etc. With this new marketplace comes a new set of business problems that our customers need solved: managing data, security risks, global integration and connectivity, and higher expectations for value.

Software is at the heart of the majority of IBM's Smarter Planet solutions, integrated across hardware, software and service offerings. IBM's Smarter Planet vision continues to resonate with clients of all sizes globally. And it's not just marketing hype...it's generating real business results. IBM's market analysis shows that Smarter Planet solutions in key industries are growing 2-3 times faster than the IT market overall.

What is the IBM Software Story?

The IBM Software Story represents a shift in the way we service our customers, based precisely on what is happening in the marketplace. Rather than merely talking to our clients and prospects about point products, the IBM Software Story allows us to take a hard look at our clients' business challenges, identify their biggest pain points, and solve them with integrated solutions built on the capabilities of the IBM Software Story portfolio, which may involve one or more products. IBM Software is standards based and runs on virtually all major hardware and software platforms, and can be integrated across diverse application and infrastructure software, helping you build on and protect existing investments.

Through our work in making Smarter Planet come alive for software, a set of six key business needs has emerged. The solutions to these needs are built on a set of core IBM Software capabilities:

Need: Turn information into insights
IBM Core Software Capabilities:

Business analytics

Data management

Data warehousing

Enterprise content management

Information governance

Information integration and federation

Need: Drive business integration and optimization

Need: Optimize the impact of business infrastructures and services
IBM Core Software Capabilities:

Storage management

Systems management

Need: Manage risk, security and compliance

IBM Core Software Capabilities:

Application and process

Data and information

Network, server and endpoint

People and identity

Physical infrastructure

Security governance, risk management and compliance

How will the IBM Software Story Impact You?

Fundamentally, not much will change -- you'll still sell the same products to your clients. The IBM Software Story just represents an enhancement to the way both IBM and our Business Partners talk about them in the marketplace, by leading with a solution to a business need, rather than than a product name. IBM internal research shows that we sell more when we lead with solutions versus products -- simple fact. In addition, because the IBM Software Story addresses client business needs, by design it will provide you with more cross-selling opportunities because providing an optimal solution may often involve the integration of multiple products from across the portfolio. The IBM Software Story provides a simplified and unified way to present the growing value of the IBM Software portfolio, including recent acquisitions. Thus, the IBM Software capabilities framework provides a logical approach for evaluating opportunities to grow your skills and expand your business focus into adjacent areas of the portfolio, in order to deliver even greater value to your clients.

These resources are designed to help you personalize the IBM Software Story for your clients, build solution skills across the portfolio, and drive sales with your clients and prospects.

Do you give your teething baby chicken bones? Do you know people that do this?
Also, if you have children in school does the cafeteria serve meat with bones?
My grandmother is the head food service manager over a whole school district and they have been instructed that they will no longer be allowed to serve meat with bones (chicken legs, etc). No matter if in high school or kindergarten.
Is it weird that people give babies chicken bones but schools can't give them to kids. I just found that a bit funny.
What do you think about giving teething babies chicken bones?

Cultivating innovation
The Lagardère group has a long-standing culture of entrepreneurship and innovation that remains strong. Innovation is not just digital (creation of content or concepts, new organisational structures and business models etc.), but the uses offered by digital technology provide opportunities to invent new services. Innovation is central to strategy reviews at the Group level and at the level of its business lines, and has seen a number of developments in order to boost organic growth and existing projects, and generate new sources of revenues for the Group.
Le Lab, Lagardère's new innovation hub
Le Lab aims to come up with new initiatives to strengthen the Group's approach in terms of innovation and support its growth strategy. Three targets have been set: capitalising on external innovations, promoting innovation within the Group and exploring breakthrough ideas.
The structure of Le Lab will be small in size and therefore flexible, consisting of 10 or so employees primarily with technical or finance backgrounds. Le Lab will also work in close collaboration with initiatives by the Group's four divisions.
In 2014, Lagardère invested in Magma Venture Partners, a venture capital fund specialising in digital technology based in Tel Aviv (Israel).
Israel is the fastest-growing country in terms of breakthrough innovation, just behind the United States. Over the last 20 years, a number of leading innovative companies have emerged in Israel in areas such as mobile telecoms, social media, digital advertising platforms and even security.
This relates to the dynamism of local entrepreneurs, the presence of numerous R&D centres set up by multinationals, and a structured network for finance innovation.
With this investment, alongside other financial investors, Lagardère has established a true partnership with Magma Venture Partners, who will provide their experience as a digital investor while benefiting from the expertise of the Group's four divisions.

"Firewall" offers proof that it's easier to hack a bank's computer system than to write a truly fine thriller.
OK, maybe not Landrock Pacific Bank's system. At this fictional Seattle-based entity, Jack Stanfield has designed an impressively impenetrable security operation.
Played by Harrison Ford with his usual range of emotion, Jack disdains fraud with the kind of upstanding clarity the executive of Accuwest, the financial conglomerate taking over Landrock, finds as aggravating as it is quaint.
Early on, writer Joe Forte and director Richard Loncraine let us in on some of Jack's other traits: He's an amiable family man. Witness the affectionate banter he and wife Beth (Virginia Madsen) engage in as he leaves their attractive, glass-and- steel fortress on the waterfront. He's a likable boss. Watch the easy interference he runs for secretary Janet (Mary Lynn Rajskub), whose earnest suitor, "Born Again" Bobby, just isn't seeing the light.
When Harry (Robert Forster), head of bank security, introduces Jack to cyber- age bank robber Bill Cox, it's as an entrepreneur with a proposal.
Like Accuwest exec Gary (Robert Patrick), there's something a bit vexing about Harry.
Paul Bettany's chilly villain has a mildly tony accent and good taste in suits. He and his geek-and-goon squad owe a debt to Alan Rickman and his "Die Hard" crew.
As compelling as Bettany has been in several movies ("A Beautiful Mind" "Master and Commander"), his above- the-title credit won't add much to his résumé. (Unless, of course, "Firewall" makes major bank.)
But then this serviceable thriller provides a chastising example of what happens to well-rounded actors forced into the squareness of a Harrison Ford movie: We can no longer discern their gifts. The star shines fine in his familar firmament; it's everyone else who's done better work.
Casting Madsen as Jack's architect wife was promising. Her textured turn in "Sideways" demanded this sort of opportunity.
Yet she's saddled with such dialogue as: "I already have a hobby ... taking care of you." The writer gives Ford equal-opportunity pap. "I don't deserve you," Jack replies.
Even composer Alexandre Desplat has done more intriguing work ("Syriana," "The Upside of Anger"). Here, his score is insistent, then overwrought.
From his dour expression, there's a chance Ford knows what his fans demand of him. How else to explain the absurd vigor he exhibits in the last 20 minutes of "Firewall"?
"Firewall's" finale isn't simply a problem of Ford's go-to habits ("The Fugitive" meets "Air Force One." If only.) It's evidence of the exhaustingly silly tics of too many studio thrillers.
Were "Firewall" a slightly more ambitious venture, we would be forced to grapple with the themes of security, vulnerability and the American family under siege. "Firewall" gives us little reason to bestow deeper meaning on what is essentially a pre-owned Ford vehicle.
** 1/2 | "Firewall"
PG-13 for some intense violence|1 hour, 45 minutes|THRILLER| Directed by Richard Loncraine; written by Joe Forte; photography by Marco Pontecorvo; starring Harrison Ford, Paul Bettany, Virginia Madsen, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Robert Patrick, Robert Forster, Alan Arkin |Opens today at area theaters

Posted on 07/06/2014 8:01:04 PM PDT by zeestephen
The nations second legal recreational marijuana market is opening in Washington state Tuesday. Few Stores. Little Pot. No Edibles.
(Excerpt) Read more at nbcnews.com ...
SODOs Cannabis City will be the only Seattle location ready to go on the big day.
Cannabis City manager said the first pot delivery will come early Tuesday morning. Inside that truck, 2,265 small bags containing 2 grams each. Each bag will go for $54.
NO EDIBLES: The board just announced that people who want to make pot-infused sodas, brownies or other treats must get approval for their products, and so far no one has.
The edible-makers will have to have child-proof packaging, strict labeling and their kitchens pass a state inspection. The board doesnt want any gummy candies or anything that would appeal to children.
Bring it across the Border into Canada and you will be arrested
Washington ping.
Wait, no Oreos? Doomed.

$54 bucks for two grams, are they trying to increase the illegal trade?
child-proof packaging —
for 'edibles'
Watch a stoned 'patient' try to open a child-proof. Get ready for a long and interesting development. Kind of like the raven who learned to pick up a stick for a tool.
25$ per j. I'll pass. The govt effs up everything.
Re: "$54 bucks for two grams, are they trying to increase the illegal trade?"
The idea is that if legal pot in Washington state is priced less than outlaw pot, residents from neighboring states will buy here, return home, and sell for a profit.
So, on Tuesday, legal pot will be $27 a gram in Washington.
But, high quality outlaw bud in neighboring states is about $15 a gram.
The price in Washington is expected to drift down to $20 a gram once all the stores and growers are up and running.
Are residents allowed to grow any for their own personal use?
The State of Washington will totally screw this up. You can count on it. This entire thing is being set up by a bunch of unwilling state bureaucrats who have never run a private sector business in their entire lives. Plus they are trying to sell something that grows quite easily on it's own in the back yard.
Is that expensive?
in the meantime, we spend millions and millions keeping cigarette smokers out of stores, restaurants, sports stadiums, buses, even parks....and we'll spend millions more "educating" about the evils of smoking cigarettes....
what about a hypocrites...
that is EXACTLY the nonsense about "legal" pot....it will drive many people to steal it or steal money for it....
Re: "Are residents allowed to grow any for their own personal use?"
That's a great question.
I will guess "No."
I've read through the entire law once.
I don't recall seeing any reference to personal use.
The total number of growers for legal sales will be limited by law.
They must pass a background check, they must be licensed, their grow site must pass environmental and security inspections, and they must pay state taxes.
So the guy that just grew a couple of plants for his own use will probably go from a minor offense to a major one now that they legalized it. You don't ever want to get between a statist and a revenue source.
By legalizing this the pro-pot crowd just invited more govt in their business. And the users will be paying more.
Colorado allows some number of plants grown at home. Washington does not.
Funny: In the news a few weeks ago, there was a story about how people growing pot at home are driving ham radio operators bonkers. The plant lights interfere with the operation of radios. There have been cases of ham operators using their equipment to find dope growers and offer to fix their equipment so that it won't bother the radios anymore.
$54 a gram? What a rip off. This will just let the black market thrive.
Sorry, $54 for 2 grams. Still expensive. I guess they are forcing the sales in certain units for tax purposes?
One day my husband and I drove out to a fall party in the country. There was a big bonfire, my husband went to park the car, I went inside to say high to the hosts. Was shown the refreshments and warned the brownies were MJ laced. I went to see other people and returned later to the refreshments. My husband was standing there with a brownie in his hand. "How many of those have you eaten??" "This is my forth." "Oh, no, those are Alice B. Tocklas brownies." "Well, I guess I won't be driving home tonight." We slept on blankets by the fire and around noon the next day he said he felt he could drive home safely, but would not work on the roof as previously planned.
People really need to be careful with edibles, only use if dose and their tolerance is know. Several have died in Colorado, one from a high fall.
In Washington, DC, a legalization ballot Initiative is being promoted. It would legalize 2 oz. for personal use and allow growing up to 6 plants, only 3 of which can be mature. None can be sold, and you must be 21. Tune in on the first Tuesday in November. Currently a decriminalization bill is being held up in Congress, since the 640,000 residents of DC cannot spend their own tax money or pass their own laws without a Congressional veto. Two and one half times the young people are given a permanent criminal record for pot each year in DC as graduate from high school.
July 01, 2014
According to government data, the Denver city- and county-wide murder rate has dropped 42.1% since recreational marijuana use was legalized in January. This is compared to the same period last year, a time frame encompassing Jan. 1 through May 31. Violent crime in general is down almost 2%, and major property crimes are down 11.5% compared to the same period in 2013.
Just another revenue stream then. And more AFSCME members.
It all beats a jail cell. Period.

Council approves Missouri Boulevard sidewalk project
Tuesday, July 2, 2013
The Jefferson City Council has approved a contract to construct new sidewalks along Missouri Boulevard.
The bill approved at the council meeting Monday authorizes a contract with J.C. Industries for $457,868, though 80 percent of the cost will be covered through a state transportation enhancement grant and the remaining balance will come from the city's half-cent capital improvement sales tax.
The project will construct sidewalks along the southern side of Missouri Boulevard from Heisinger Road to the eastern driveway of the Kohl's development, extending sidewalks constructed last summer that also was funded in part by state grant money.
It also will include sidewalks along the eastern side of Heisinger Road from Missouri Boulevard to the Greenway trail, and along the eastern side of Stadium Boulevard, where it will connect to the existing sidewalk at Target.
Matt Morasch, interim public works director, said the project is expected to be completed by winter.
In other business, 5th Ward Councilman Ralph Bray announced he, and fellow 5th Ward Councilman Larry Henry, would host a meeting for residents of the 5th Ward later this month. Bray said the meeting would be held at McClung Park on July 20 to discuss projects and issues important to the 5th Ward.

Am I the Next Jack Abramoff?
In which I discover that any idiot—even me—can be a Washington lobbyist.
He told me I should immediately go to Rep. Tom Lantos' office: "Rep. Lantos is the number-one pet guy in the House." The Lantos people were working on legislation to require that in the event of a forced evacuation like that of Hurricane Katrina, the government must have in place a rescue plan for pets. "Do you have a legislative arm?" at SNOP, he asked me. Now it was my turn to laugh. Even though I didn't, he said I could work with Lantos' people to incorporate my legislation early into his bill. That way it would be very hard to strip out later.
I couldn't wait to finish my last appointment—at Rep. Van Hollen's office—so I could contact the Lantos people and actually get some action on SNOP.
When I made my appointment with Van Hollen's legislative person, though he was impeccably polite, I could tell he thought meeting with SNOP was a waste of time. He came to greet me in the reception area and said we could conduct our meeting right there. Unlike everyone else I met, Van Hollen's guy was not young and sleek and gelled. He looked to be in his late 40s, rumpled and bearded, wearing casual-Friday jeans and sneakers. He had the air of someone who has listened to the ideas of more than his share of constituent nuts.
He mentioned he had a daughter, so I gave him an extra puppy to take home to her. Then I started on my now-polished pitch. I barely got it out when he interrupted to tell me there was a serious problem with my organization's goal: It was unconstitutional.
"I don't think there's a national legislative fix for this," he said. He said laws to spay and neuter animals were a matter for the states. For one thing, I had no enforcement mechanism for states that refused to comply. "A lot of people want the congressman to introduce things," he said. "A lot of [those] things are not federal issues."
OK, so there was a technical glitch about the Constitution. I quickly tried to recover, mentioning the congressman's support for bowel issues and asking if I could get something like that—a bill asking for more funding for spay and neuter research. Or how about a national spay-and-neuter month?
He said groups like such recognition because it helps with advertising and fund raising. But for me to do that, he said, while waving my SNOP leave-behind, "This has to become a viable organization." But why start my own group, he asked—why not just work with one of the existing animal-welfare organizations? Then he stood up and said he had another meeting. Maybe he could see in my eyes that he had just euthanized SNOP and my career as a lobbyist was over. Maybe he didn't want to leave me bereft. He smiled, held up a puppy, and said, "I like the Band-Aid. That's a nice touch."

Sky News were talking about websites that facilitate vote-swapping for people wanting to vote tactically this year, like VoteSwap and Swap My Vote.

All the so-called experts are poring over sets of inconsistent polls, trying to work out what might happen in the general election.

Another one bites the dust

It appears that Crawley is now a UKIP-free zone, as our only UKIP councillor resigned on Friday. To be honest, it doesn't sound like it will make a big difference as he was rarely spotted in the town hall. I suppose he should be congratulated on doing the right thing, eventually. Having spent several years […]

Today's 'shock' announcement of a Tory MP defecting to UKIP has been a bit of fun for all the non-Tories, but not entirely a shock in some respects. OK, so it wasn't expected or even hinted at, but once you saw the headline, the identity of the MP in question was far from a shock. […]
Voting selfies

This is where I eat my own words a little bit, even though I didn't actually say them aloud at the time. Just before the elections there was an article on the BBC website about voters being told not to take selfies while voting. At the time I thought this was all a bit officious. […]

Bolivian lawmakers have ushered in changes that have hurt banks' profitability. More pain is in store
Agents for change have come in two forms. The first was a
new tax system that came into force at the end of 2011. The
second is a new set of financial services laws, approved in
August, which were set to come into effect in November. And
then there are market forces.
"The competition is tougher than it used to be," says

Drawn Thread Work
1st Series
by Unknown Author
Book Reviews
Book Description
The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book:
Dravn Thread Work The empty spaces produced in linen bgrouping together with stitches several threads, isolated by the drawing out of warp or woof threads or both, constitutes what is known as drawn thread work. By grouping together and covering the isolated threads with different stitches the most varied combinations and the richest patterns can be produced, suitable either as sole decoration or as a finish to cross stitch or other embroidery. The simplest kind of drawn work is known as hem-stitching which consists in drawing out a few parallel threads of the material at the head of a hem and fastening up the upper and last cross-thread to the folded hem above it, so as to prevent its ravelling downwards; thus leaving small open spaces between each of the clusters of threads. The borders, insertions and grounds, the Italian cut stitch, the different kinds of American, Danish and Norwegian openwork( )and, finally, the Reticella cut work of Italian and Greek origin, are all more complicated and elaborate forms of drawn or openwork; the latter being a transition from openwork on linen to lace work. The patterns of modern work of this kind are very similar to certain lace patterns, they resemble the American ones and contain, like these, stitches and figures often employed in the Teneriffe lace.() See, at the end of this album, the Ust of the pubUcations of the D-M-C library, containing a great variety of patterns for every kind of work.

WOAH!!…great fight
toño December 4, 2008
tapia seems scared…he fights like an amateur
poulson December 4, 2008
torres is the ****in shit and if you didnt believe in him before you should definatley believe in him now. there is nobody in that weight class that i know of that can beat him. and i agree with the statement that he is ones of the best pound for pound fighters in mma but that list above me blows.
yoyo December 4, 2008
viva la rasa
Luke December 4, 2008
oh love his style!
thx 4 quick posting!
Rivers December 4, 2008
Torres is THE man!!
It's amazing how he can go from a nice cool guy to freaking mean! LOL "mangler" no more…
hldn1977 December 4, 2008
Torres is a baaaaaaaaaaad man! Anyone else get the feeling Tapia was lucky to get into the 2nd round?
Caper December 4, 2008
rockoner December 4, 2008
torres is a beast, crazy ass axe kick!!!
karlito101 December 4, 2008
lets not get carried away he looked good but top three in the world p4p? Above GSP and BJ? Tapia looked decidedly average just watch the gsp fitch fight again GSP p4p kicks torres ass!
Gt03champ December 4, 2008
true Torres is good. maybe great. no one at 135 can beat him. but what will happen if a 145 decided to drop to 135. ooohh.
Weez December 4, 2008
Torres is definitely the toughest dude with a mullet.
dannito December 4, 2008
first time seeing him fight all o have to say is he's good..
alfredunhill December 4, 2008
That's one bad ass Mexican…definitely top 3 p4p….along w/ Fedor and Silva…wow..impressive…been a fan for a long time…great killer instinct
mmalove December 4, 2008
Torres needs to move up and whoop some Faber a$$! =D

lolgator that list is exactly mine
1.Anderson S.
2.Fedor E.
3.Miguel T.
MMACanada December 4, 2008
I gotta say lolgator4490 I have to disagree with Silva over Fedor and BJ over GSP. I do not believe silva is the best pound for pound in the world because he cuts SHITLOADS of weight to go to middle, and hasnt been tested at 205 (Irving fans, hes a stepping stone, get over it.)Anderson could fight at heavyweight if he wanted. Im not trying to shit talk him for it, I think 205 would be his best weight anyway. But as it stands, the man walks around at a similar weight to Fedor. The two could likely meet at 225-230, with Silva being the taller fighter. That would pretty much be my dream fight right there.
karlito101 December 4, 2008
sick of this silly fedor vs a.silva chit chat. Stop trying to hijack the thread with that talk…
MMACanada December 4, 2008
Although come to think of it, 215 might be a better weight for them to meet at. And Im basing this off hearing Silva has been as heavy as 240, probably cant afford to walk around that heavy at this point. I just want a reason for these two to go at it haha.
GSP4THEWIN December 4, 2008
how about a three man sll-out weapons fight between Lesnar, Kimbo and Batista from WWE ?
Csari0 December 4, 2008
I love it when a fighter gets his ass handed, and gets up asking "Why did you stop it for?!!!
I love it when fighters try shit that is not supposed to work in MMA… I have seen a flying arm bar sub, a cartwheel KO.. it would be great to see a summersault KO.
Good fight!
trout December 4, 2008
Miguel is definitely a bada$$. Wish he didn't trim down the mullet.
Love the mariachi entrance music. It just pumps me up!!!!
Zitro N December 4, 2008
How can people choose Anderson Silva over Fedor for the Pound4Pound best fighter ever ???
Fedor HAS NEVER lost a fight and ALL his fight were won by KO/Submission OR unanimous-decision !
Anderson is very good but he lost some fights and will lose if he fight in his real weightclass –> lightheavy-weight !
Torres so goooood !
Mexico December 4, 2008
Fedor is best fighter on the whole planet and the only loos that he had is stopagge because of cut above his aye and that's it.
Miguel Torres is a real deal and nothing better when you achieve something like this when you young as he is.
I am looking forward to se him again.
wandisabeast December 4, 2008
Zitro N Says
Fedor HAS NEVER lost a fight and ALL his fight were won by KO/Submission OR unanimous-decision !
Anderson is very good but he lost some fights and will lose if he fight in his real weightclass –> lightheavy-weight !
fedor has lost by a cut and anderson silvas natural wieght is 185 he fought at 185 in pride
wandisabeast December 4, 2008
battle of the beaners
White Gerbil1 December 4, 2008
Zitro you are a moron. what do you consider natural weight class, every one cuts weight to fight your probably just a fat lard loser boy
paddedummy December 5, 2008
Oh, that's not pretty. Tapia's gonna need some stitches.
Zescape December 5, 2008
I've said it before, and I'll say it again.
Brian Bowles would give Torres a very good fight. I'm excited to see if that's the next 135lb title match. Bowles has finished all 4 of his opponents in the WEC so far, he definitely deserves it.
Syterion December 5, 2008
Fedor didn't lose that fight. It was a cut from an illegal blow a minute in. It was ruled that he lost only because it was a tournament and they needed someone to move on, otherwise he would have gotten a no contest since it was an illegal blow. Silva also fights at the right weight. He's never had a problem with his weight and cutting weight is part of it, it's not unfair. Franklin cuts a ton too and lost, and Henderson fights at 205 too. Both are excellent fighters whose styles can't be compared.
M0rph3v5 December 5, 2008
That was ****in brutal! Miguel's the man! that Front flip Axe kick was badass and that front kick with the spinning back fist was awesome. Honestly the best stand-up fight I've seen in a long time.
M0rph3v5 December 5, 2008
also, don't forget guys that Fedor just lost to Blagoi Ivanov in Sambo! To someone he beat before!
C'mon now Fedor you're supposed to be God! you can't lose! it's infallable! Blasphemy!
savman December 5, 2008
thanks Bruno – this site and MMA mania are the two sites i check every day.
How sharp does Torres look! Is it just me or would a catch weight fight between him and BJ at 145 (after Bj has had plenty of time to recondition back to his 155 first post GSP) be a SICK fight
yoububg December 5, 2008
Considering this guys record, I think he may surpass Silva for the best pound for pound fighter. I love St. Pierre but I don't think he belongs on the list. People are forgetting what pound for pound means.
LC December 5, 2008
Impressive win
Nacho December 5, 2008
How about Torres vs Kid Yamamoto??
rgood December 5, 2008
That guy has some quick hands. Never really heard of him before now.
marquito76r December 5, 2008
definately 1 of the worlds best p4p fighters, he the man!
danada December 5, 2008
Torres is a serious fighter. I watched the fight when he won the title and I was sold. I wasn't rooting for him but I had to admit his skill. His standup is getting better and better and it wasn't bad to start with.
Frank Mir talked about Torres the whole fight, but Tapia has GOOD hands. He caught Miguel a few times and made him think. Tapia's hands are quick and he has power. A couple times Miguel had to back away. As soon as he did and picked his shots a little better he took Tapia apart. Very smart fighter. His ground game is disturbingly good.

Hi guys,
I'm curious as to what some of you guys are using for cycling shoes because I'm debating on whether to upgrade my basic road bike shoes to a more better model for longer rides or go with a TRi cycling shoe since I'm training up for Duathlons and Triathlons. I have just a basic model specialized sport road bike shoe with shimano 105 spd-sl pedals / cleats. I'm sure many of you would probably say go with what fits best I guess. I have somewhat wide feet so and I notice a lot of triathlon cycling shoes look narrow, IMO. I've been looking at many road shoes and some tri shoes like these too http://www.performancebike.com/bikes...02_-1___400462. I mean will there be some downfall in terms of the fit that I'll have to get used to if I were to go into a triathlon cycling shoe?

Hey guys,
I am starting a new job next week. I found a babysitter for next week but she lives too far from me to be permanent. I'm working Monday through Friday from 12:30ish to 6. For the next month it will be until 6:00, my husbands going out of the country. But starting in December it will only be until 4. If you guys can reccomend someone on the Eastside of town that would be great. Or if any of you guys are interested let me know. Right now I'm paying $100 a week. He's on a waiting list for daycare but they told me it could be 4 months until he gets on. And they only keep them until 5:30....grrr.
Anyway, any help would be great!

A bike shop probably isn't the first place you'd think of to grab your morning coffee or a freshly baked pastry, but you might want to reconsider. Those in the know frequent the Dutch Bike Company in Ballard for Lighthouse coffee, breakfast burritos, and the best salted chocolate-chip cookies you've ever tasted.
Photo courtesy of Dutch Bike Co.
Julie Kloss owns the business with her husband David Schmidt--a business they relocated last August to the historic Kolstrand Building next door to Staple & Fancy and The Walrus and the Carpenter. With the move came the addition of a cafe which turns out coffee by day and wine and beer at night; the perfect place to stop, sit, and sip no matter the time. In this week's Grillaxin, Kloss talks about her former job as a pizza cook at Cafe Lago, why she decided to leave her job as a stay-at-home mom to sell Dutch bikes full-time, the real name of the Dutch Bike Company, and the sweet treat she made 2,000 of last year . . . after the jump!
SW: What's your connection to Europe?
Kloss: [My husband and I] went to Amsterdam a few times and rode bikes and just sort of fell in love with that whole energy, and I thought, "Why aren't these bikes being sold in Seattle?" There was some draw to it we couldn't ignore. Last August, we started developing this idea of adding the coffee shop as kind of an extension of the bikes we sell, which are sort of a European-lifestyle bike rather than a "I'm going to go ride 70 miles" bike. They get you to where you need to get. If you've been to Europe, you'd go drink coffee in the morning at the same place, you'd have a glass of wine later.
Professionally, I hadn't baked for a while. I used to work on the line at Cafe Lago for years. I made pizzas. Right when I moved to Seattle, about 18 years ago. I'm originally from Illinois.
Is that why there's another Dutch Bike Co. in Chicago?
We actually opened that after we opened the Seattle store. We do a lot of shipping, and Chicago is flat and large, and, you know, it seemed like the perfect middle-of-the-country location, and we really like Chicago, too.
Is the Chicago store part cafe, too?
Not yet. We actually just moved locations and we have sort of a split space and our goal is to eventually--because we just moved in a month-and-a-half ago to Wicker Park--open a cafe there, too. They're sadly lacking in good coffee in Chicago!
How long total has the DBC been in business?
We started about six years ago. We had a slow start. It wasn't a business that we exactly knew. And the cafe, too. I've definitely learned a lot of things that I would do or not do again. You gain experience and you go, "OK, that was not the right decision!" It is stressful, but there are days where you think, "Yeah. We're doing OK. We're doing the right thing." I know what my strengths are. That's one of the benefits of getting older!
When you had the idea to add the cafe, did you know you'd do the baking?
Photo courtesy of Dutch Bike Co.
Oh, no! I do use Macrina some. I started out thinking I'd just make ice-cream sandwiches because I make these really great ice-cream sandwiches! But then, I also wanted things to be really good, and then people started telling me that my stuff was so much better. It's so fun, it's so satisfying. People come in and they get this little piece of joy for $2.
Are you self-taught?
Yes. My mom is one of my inspirations. My dad owned a grain elevator and flour mill and my mom is just a great baker. We always had a freezer full of cookies when I was growing up. She's like the cookie queen! It was just something I grew up around; I never even thought about going to buy cookies because I could make them. It slowly just developed and now I generally bake pretty much everything.
Do you have some best-sellers?
The salted chocolate-chip cookies. I sold and made over 2,000 of them since we opened last year. And that's just the ones I've sold; I've given a lot away.
What else is on your menu?
I do breakfast sandwiches that are panini using Macrina potato rolls, and we have a few varieties of those. My big thing is breakfast burritos. I put roasted yams in them and good black beans and so it's healthy, not too huge, kind of that perfect-size. And no one is really doing something like that here, so yeah, we go through a lot of those!
What did you do before you opened DBC?
I was an art teacher. I have a degree in Art Education, but I had a drive to learn how to make really good pizza! A friend of mine knew Carla Leonardi and Jordi Viladas [the owners of Cafe Lago] and I got a job there. They're such great people and they make a great product. I leaned a lot and I kind of just got the bug of working in restaurants. I baked at The Still Life Cafe part-time and then I baked at Georgina's and then I moved to Whidbey Island and things started happening. I got a job teaching art at a middle school in Seattle for a couple of years and then I had my kids and took some time off. So, now they're getting bigger [Kloss has a daughter, 11, and a son, 6] and I was able to stay home with them. I think about food and cooking and baking all the time!
And your husband?
Before we started the bike shop, he was a high-rise window cleaner.
So how did the two of you decide on this venture?
Photo courtesy of Dutch Bike Co.
You know, I don't know how it all happened! I wish I did! It was really looking for that feeling that you're providing something for the community, that you're making some kind of difference. I do believe the bikes are such a nice addition to the community of biking.
Did you pick Ballard for you shop because of the Scandinavian presence?
No, it was more where the bike trail went and we liked the neighborhood. We looked at a number of locations and also, Ballard is in a flat area where people can do good test rides. Our joke is that the cafe is actually legally called The Missing Link, and if you look close, you can see monkeys in the mural we have on the wall. It's our play on delft pottery with the addition of our own goofy elements. Our friend does illustration for The New Yorker and he designed it.
Do you guys ride your bikes to work?
I don't ride my bike as much as I would like, but we both ride as much as possible.
Check back tomorrow for part two of this week's Grillaxin with Julie Kloss.

The latest slam against Apple's awful iOS 6 Maps app comes from Australian police, reports BGR.
The police issued a warning that says Apple Maps is directing motorists to a remote location of Murray-Sunset National Park, about 70 kilometers away from their intended destination.
The real kicker here is that this is potentially life-threatening:
Police are extremely concerned as there is no water supply within the park and temperatures can reach as high as 46 degrees (114.8 degrees Fahrenheit), making this a potentially life threatening issue. Some of the motorists located by police have been stranded for up to 24 hours without food or water and have walked long distances through dangerous terrain to get phone reception.
The takeaway seems to be that Apple's maps are so bad that you could die.

Guerrilla Capacity Planning
A Tactical Approach to Planning for Highly Scalable Applications and Services
your country
In these days of shortened fiscal horizons and contracted time-to-market schedules, traditional approaches to capacity planning are often seen by management as tending to inflate their production schedules. Rather than giving up in the face of this kind of relentless pressure to get things done faster, Guerrilla Capacity Planning facilitates rapid forecasting of capacity requirements based on the opportunistic use of whatever performance data and tools are available in such a way that management insight is expanded but their schedules are not.
A key Guerrilla concept is tactical planning whereby short-range planning questions and projects are brought up in team meetings such that management is compelled to know the answer, and therefore buys into capacity planning without recognizing it as such. Once you have your "foot in the door", capacity planning methods can be refined in an iterative cycle of improvement called "The Wheel of Capacity Planning". Another unique Guerrilla tool is Virtual Load Testing, based on Dr. Gunther's "Universal Law of Computational Scaling", which provides a highly cost-effective method for assessing application scalability.less

ClassicsOnline Home » RUTTER: Mass of the Children / Shadows / Wedding Canticle > Review List
ClassicsOnline customers will not be able to use their log in to access the new HD site. Please create a new ClassicsOnline HD•LL account to download albums, subscribe to streaming, create playlists and more!
John Rutter tells us that the wrote the Mass of the Children to join together children's and adults' voices, remembering his own boyhood experience, remembering his own boyhood experience, singing in the choir for the Decca recording of Britten's War Requiem: 'I wanted to write a work that would bring them [adults and children] together in a more joyful context than a requiem.' The brief Wedding Canticle is written serenely for mixed choir, flute and guitar, and is directly and beautifully presented here as a closing bonus. But it did not seem an ideal choice to include on this CD Rutter's song-cycle, Shadows, which apparently attempts to recreate the tradition of the melancholy lute songs of the Elizabethan era. They are sung simply and often mournfully by Jeremy Huw Williams, accompanied most delicately by Stewart French on the guitar. But it is the lively songs, like Gather ye rosebuds and In a goodly night, which come off best.
The title of this latest large-scale work from British composer John Rutter may raise a faint alarm in the back of your head, and it should: any combination of the terms "mass" and "children" is liable to refer to something cloying and saccharine. In this case, though, the music is classic Rutter: melodically accessible and maybe just a little bit oversweetened, but well within the bounds of good taste. His mass setting involves both children's and adults' voices, and scatters hymn settings in among the traditional liturgical elements. Very nice.
