The SnakesCast
Bite-sized bits about board games from the game gurus at Snakes and Lattes
The world of tabletop games is a lot bigger than most people realize. In fact it's so big that the idea of investigating it can actually be kind of intimidating. When you see all those games you've never heard of, with rules and concepts and themes you've never seen before in a game, it's hard to know where to start. The answer is: start with the SnakesCast. Every week, we'll bring you ten or fifteen minutes' worth of banter about what makes these games worth playing. With a different theme every episode and a rotating cast of both gurus and non-gurus from Toronto's premiere boardgame café, we'll show you just how much there is to play with out there.
Game Spotlight: CatanThe game that changed the rules
How much does today's board game world owe to the genre-transforming classic from 1995, and how well does it hold up today? Does Catan get the respect it deserves, or does its fame and nostalgia give it a free pass for sins that wouldn't be accepted in a new game today?
Co-hosts: Steve Tassie, David Kingsmill
Games mentioned: Catan, Monopoly, Blood Rage, The Godfather, Summit
Game Spotlight: 7 Wonders DuelA 2-player adaptation of an already popular favourite
Catan. Ticket To Ride. 7 Wonders. These are classics among modern games, and often requested by customers at Snakes & Lattes. But when a group of two people requests to play 7 Wonders, we always have to disappoint them by revealing that it's not a great game for 2 players. Or rather, it wasn't... until the arrival of a new game called 7 Wonders: Duel. Which we're putting under the game spotlight in this week's SnakesCast.
Co-hosts: Vincent Kong, Steve Tassie
Games mentioned: 7 Wonders, Roll Through the Ages, Tides of Time, Race For the Galaxy, Sushi Go!, 7 Wonders: Duel, Patchwork, Animal Upon Animal, San Juan, Agricola: All Creatures Great And Small, Le Havre: The Inland Port, Nuns On the Run, Catan, Starship Catan, Clue, Spy Alley, Mr. Jack Pocket, Cosmic Encounter, Mah Jongg, Space Alert
Storybook GamesCan you make a game out of reading from a book?
Most games tell their stories through the action of playing. But in some games, playing means reading a storybook. Like a choose-your-own-adventure novel but with many more choices to make, these storybook games can transport you to another world, full of adventure and drama. But creating such a game means facing some unique challenges, and that's the topic of this week's SnakesCast.
Co-hosts: Steve Tassie, Vincent Kong
Games mentioned: Tales of the Arabian Nights, Voyage of the B.S.M. Pandora, Agents of S.M.E.R.S.H., Rory's Story Cubes, Star Trek: The Adventure Game, Above And Below
House RulesMy game, my house, my rules
Lots of people like to tinker with the rules of the games they play. We call these little changes "house rules," and it's possible that you've been using some without even realizing it. This week on the SnakesCast we look into some of the most popular house rules, the reasons why people made them up, and why they continue to play using them.
Co-hosts: Vincent Kong, Steve Tassie
Games mentioned: Talisman, Zombies!!!, Monopoly, Chaos in the Old World, Catan, Verti-Go, Hamsterrolle, Anomia, Letter Roll, Sushi Go!, Guess Who?, Uno, Dutch Blitz, Hedbanz
Games That Aren't FunAnd the reasons why you should play them anyway
The most common request from customers at Snakes & Lattes is for a "fun game". And although that means different things to different people, there are certain kinds of games that are popular among game players, despite not being what most people would think of as "fun". This might seem weird at first, until you remember that sad songs and stories have always been popular. So this week we're talking about games that definitely aren't fun, but are absolutely worth playing.
Co-hosts: Steve Tassie, Vincent Kong
Games mentioned: Terra Mystica, Agricola, The Grizzled, Freedom: The Underground Railroad, Memoir 44
STAR WARSGames in a galaxy far, far away
Games based on movies and TV shows are usually awful. We know all about this from previous episodes. Our childhood memories of Star Wars-themed board games are not good. But happily, things have changed. For more Star Wars game goodness, check out our curator's video review of Star Wars Risk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdF7r1moft0
Co-hosts: Amanda McKnight, Scott Moyle
Games mentioned: Star Wars: Escape From The Death Star Game, Battle At the Sarlacc Pit, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi – Battle at Sarlacc's Pit, Star Wars: Epic Duels, Star Wars Miniatures, Imperial Assault, Star Wars: The Card Game, Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game, Star Wars: Armada, Wings of War, Descent, Loopin' Louie, Loopin' Chewie, Boom Boom Balloon, Star Wars Death Star Boom Boom Balloon, Star Wars Risk, Lightsaber Dueling Pack
We Have A Problem, Part TwoCauses and possible solutions
This week's episode continues last week's discussion of problems with oppression in the board game community. We don't just talk about the problems though. We also get into the ways you can help to make our little corner of the world safer, happier, and more welcoming to people who might otherwise feel alienated or even fearful.
Co-hosts: Amanda McKnight, Coco Lee, Scott Moyle
Sadly, we didn't get much into talking about race during this series. We will approach this topic in a future episode (when my co-hosts aren't all white).
We Have A Problem, Part OneA difficult but necessary conversation
Playing board games with other humans should be fun and safe. This is not a controversial statement. And yet within the community of people who consider themselves tabletop game players, there are places and individuals who are unpleasant and even dangerous. This week we begin a two part series on sexual harassment and abuse in game groups, game stores and game conventions. Listener discretion is advised.
Co-hosts: Amanda McKnight, Coco Lee, Scott Moyle

Interview: Ignacy TrzewiczekPart Two
Ignacy Trzewiczek is famous for complex, challenging designs like Robinson Crusoe and Stronghold, which are too complicated for even our best game gurus to teach quickly, which is why you won't see them on the shelves of the café. But Ignacy's publishing company, Portal Games, fell so in love with a game that only had 18 cards that they just had to publish it. This week he'll talk to us about Tides of Time, and what made it such a hit.
Interviewed: Ignacy Trzewiczek Games mentioned: Tides of Time, Stronghold, Robinson Crusoe, Civilization, Love Letter, Coup, Sail to India, 7 Wonders, Sushi GO!, Tides of Madness, Caylus Be sure to check out portalgames.pl for more discussion about Tides of Time.
Interview: Ignacy TrzewiczekPart One
Some of the most exciting developments in game design these days are coming out of eastern Europe, and this week we're joined by one of the region's hottest designers. In part one of our interview with Ignacy Trzewiczek, we talk about Poland's post-communist cultural landscape, and the challenges of making games that tell stories.
Interview guest: Ignacy Trzewiczek
Games mentioned: Stronghold, Kolejka (a.k.a. Queue), First Martians, Robinson Crusoe, This War of Mine, Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective
Mathematical GamesAnd math in games
Mathematics is inescapable. Everything we do is governed by mathematical laws. And board games, being little systems we invent to put on our tabletops, are inherently mathematical. But so many people are turned off by even the idea of math. That could be because of how it's taught in schools, but it could also be because so much of the fun we have with math in games is disguised to not look like math. This week we're going to look into the ways math turns into play, for good and for bad.
Co-hosts: Lisa Weklych, Holly Wyder
Games mentioned: Monopoly, Yahtzee, Clue, Poker, Power Grid, Planet Steam, Tales of the Arabian Nights, Diplomacy, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, Blood Rage, SmallWorld, Pandemic, Splendor
Gurus Love 'Em, People Won't Try 'Emno matter how hard we try to convince them
We've spent the last couple weeks on the show ranting about the most popular games that we really don't like, so now it's time to put the shoe on the other foot and talk about the games we love and can't get most people to even try. And believe it or not, these aren't massively long or complicated games at all! There's just something about them.
Co-hosts: Steve Tassie, David Kingsmill
Games mentioned: Race For the Galaxy, Arkham Horror, Eldritch Horror, Fury of Dracula, Pandemic, Forbidden Island, Can't Stop, Skull & Roses, Vegas!, Patchwork, Codenames, Taboo, Chaos In the Old World, Caylus, Twilight Imperium
People Love 'Em, Gurus Hate 'Em (part 2)More games disagreed upon by newcomers and enthusiasts
This week the negativity continues as we talk about the most popular games that game enthusiasts just don't like. In a desperate attempt to bring at least a modicum of empathy and understanding to the proceedings, we also talk about the reasons why those games are so widely beloved despite their shortcomings.
Co-hosts: David Kingsmill, Steve Tassie
Games mentioned: Cards Against Humanity, Munchkin, Connect Four, Apples to Apples, Snake Oil, Balderdash, But Wait, There's More!, Mad Libs, Quarto, Pentago, Yinsh, Othello, Adventure Time Card Wars, Magic: The Gathering, A Game of Thrones The Board Game, XCOM The Board Game, 6 Nimmt!, Bang! The Walking Dead, Risk: The Walking Dead, Dead of Winter, City of Horror, Risk: Legacy, Risk: Star Wars, Coup, Coup: Rebellion G54, Coup: Reformation, Guess Who?, Clue
People Love 'Em, Gurus Hate 'EmAnd now we're going to figure out why
What is it about a game that can make it popular to millions... but despicable to people who love games more than anything else? This week we talk about some of the most beloved games out there, and the reasons why we who call ourselves Game Gurus just don't enjoy them as much as everyone else.
Co-hosts: Steve Tassie, David Kingsmill
Games mentioned: Scattergories, Scrabble, Boggle, Letter Roll, Cards Against Humanity, The Game of Life
Interview: Justin Gary (Part two)In which the making of a game designer is discussed
In part 2 of our interview with game designer Justin Gary, we talk about what it is that makes a person actually set out to make their living in this unusual industry. We also get into the nuts and bolts of creating and publishing a game, and questions of where things are going from here. You can read more of Justin's work at www.justingary.com, including essays about game design, philosophy and more.
Interview guest: Justin Gary
Games mentioned: Ascension, Magic: The Gathering, SolForge, Labyrinth, Bad Beets, Love Letter, Coup
Interview: Justin Gary (Part one)Justin shines the Game Spotlight on his most famous game: Ascension
The SnakesCast is very lucky this week to be visited by Justin Gary, the lead designer of Ascension. We've talked about deckbuilding games on the show before, and Ascension was a watershed in the genre. In this episode we discuss the process of creating the game, the ways it departed from the original formula established by Dominion, and the reasons why Ascension's newer formula became so powerfully influential, paving the way for so many deckbuilding games that followed after.
Interview guest: Justin Gary
Games mentioned: Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer, Dominion, Magic: The Gathering, Ascension: Realms Unravelled, Ascension: Dawn of Champions, Ascension: Storm of Souls
Game Spotlight: Mysterium (part 2)This time with variants
This week on the SnakesCast, part 2 of our game spotlight on Mysterium. We've never had a game spotlight stretch out to two episodes, but we've rarely had a game as weird as this one to talk about. We were also talking about at least two different versions of the game, each quite distinct. If you're curious about the variant I mention in this episode, here's a link my favourite way to play. Enjoy! https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1328433/good-background-story-rahdo-variant-identify-victi
Co-hosts: Steve Tassie, David Kingsmill
Games mentioned: Mysterium
Game Spotlight: Mysterium (part 1)A game so weird we needed two episodes to do it justice
Games about mysteries aren't exactly common, but there are a few. Games that involve ghosts are also fairly rare, but they exist. But games where one player is a ghost and tries to communicate with the other players through strange signs and visions because they can't speak or write? That's a new one. This week's game spotlight shines on part one of our discussion of Mysterium.
Co-hosts: David Kingsmill, Steve Tassie
Games mentioned: Clue, Dixit, Mysterium
Realism and SimulationA good thing that you can definitely have too much of
One of the ways you can get people invested in a game is to make it feel like a miniature world. The more realistic that little world feels, the more the players can believe in it. The more they believe in it, the more involving and engrossing it becomes. But there are some pretty sharp limitations on how much realism is good to have.
Co-hosts: Holly Wyder, Lisa Weklych
Games mentioned: Patchwork, Samurai Spirit, Bomb Squad Academy, Dead of Winter, Merchants & Marauders, Mice & Mystics, Tokaido, Robinson Crusoe, 1960: The Making of the President, Agricola
Game Spotlight: CodenamesThe party game for people who can't stand party games
We've talked before on the SnakesCast about the divide between strategy game players and party game players. This week we're shining the spotlight on a game that could bridge the gap between them. With its team-versus-team structure and quick playtime, it definitely has the feel of a party game, but it's a lot more challenging than you might expect.
Co-hosts: Holly Wyder, Lisa Weklych
Games mentioned: Codenames, Agricola, Le Havre, Taboo, Cards Against Humanity, Mage Knight, Telestrations

Project Daddyby Kate Perry
View All Available Formats & Editions
Katherine Murphy needs to know. Her obsessive, demanding supervisor has given her an assignment that goes way beyond the call of duty: find her a man. But not just any man—he must have the perfect combination of good looks, job security, and solid genes to make him daddy-worthy. So,/i>/b>
How do you find the perfect match for the boss from hell?
Katherine Murphy needs to know. Her obsessive, demanding supervisor has given her an assignment that goes way beyond the call of duty: find her a man. But not just any man—he must have the perfect combination of good looks, job security, and solid genes to make him daddy-worthy. So, with a lofty promotion being dangled in front of her, Katherine dives back into the dating pool to find another woman's Mr. Right. . .
There is, however, a problem with Katherine's approach: for some reason, going up to strange guys and asking if they're ready for fatherhood is getting her nowhere. Which is why she recruits her best friend Luc to help with the man hunt. As he drags her out to gallery openings and bars, Katherine develops a new appreciation for Luc. But when Katherine strikes out in her search and Luc steps up to the plate as her boss's next date, she realizes he's perfect. Maybe too perfect to waste on someone else. . .

The name of the book caught my eye and when I read the description I thought how different, yet cute it sounded so with the click of my button I bought it. Boy whata good and bad thing to do. I bought it at midnight while I was browsing books before bed. I immediately started reading thinking one chapter wouldn't hurt. One turned into two and so on and even though I kept telling myself to stop I couldn't. I stayed up til 3 am and finished it. It was an adorable story with great characters and unique plot. If you think you will read all night, make sure you can sleep the next day.
Loved it! It was predictable, but I still just simply loved this book. It made me "feel good"! Once it was over I had a huge goofy grin on my face.
This a 193 page book. I laughed and cried. The writing was easy to read and very enjoyable. The title through me and at first I didn't want to read it. I am glad I did. It is about a Katherine needing a promotion and asking her best friend Luc for help. Her boss wants a baby and it has to be a specific kind of man. Along the way you fall in love with all them. I love how Kat has all these fact about misc things and says them when she is nervous. I couldn't put the book down and almost got in trouble at work for wanting to finish reading it. Oops.
I couldn't finish three chapters of this book, that's how bad it was. It was like it was written by a 16 year old, so amateurish. I wasted $3.99 on this book, I wouldn't have paid 99 cents for it. Don't waste your money, skip this book and find one by an author who writes like a professional. Try Marie Force, Jennifer Probst, Shannon Stacey, etc.
This book got me hooked on romance novels. I just couldn't put it down. Definitely a must read. Very funny with a lovable heroine. In fact any book by this author is highly recommended. I've read alot of books over the years but this one will always be my all time fav, lol but then again you know what they say about your first ;)
I'm looking for a good read. What age do you recommend reading this book?
Kathryn Murphy a researcher has been tasked with finding a man. Not any man, but one with specific traits. Not for herself, but for her boss! Kathryn is a remake of Bones, with Luc, her special friend, as Booth. There are some funny moments, especially when Kathryn walks up to total strangers and asks some very PRIVATE questions. To say that she has no social skills, is putting it mildly. I found the book to be somewhat bland, although this is one of those "it's my thing/or not my thing" kind of books. I love Bones, but this just didn't do it for me.
Fun read.
A crazy assignment from her boss leads Kat on one misguided mission after another. Her best friend Luc is a lovable character who you identify with much more than Kat. You often want to knock Kat on the side of her head so she'll wake up to reality, but hey, it makes for entertaining reading.
PROJECT DADDY by Kate Perry has an ending I did not expect. This novel take you on a mind-boggling journey of a research project that leads you into situations you would not expect. Katheryn, the researcher, is from a dysfunctional home who is so involved in trying to reach a success level so high that she almost lost her dream. This is a book you will not want to put down until you have read it through from beginning to end.
I thought this book was hilarious, I can't wait to read more by this author!
Hilarious story of falling in love with your best friend, through a series of crazy events.
I really wasn't expecting much from this book, but I really enjoyed it. Light hearted and easy to get into with interesting characters. It was any light read.
The plot's been done before, but you'll want to read this for the main character. She's hysterical!
An O.K. read,though the scenerio was very far fetched.
it was a freebie, and was predictable but good..someone should borrow this one from me :)
I thought this story was cute and loved the way the main character evolved from being a work-a-holic who only wanted to please her boss to get a promotion to realizing that getting a promotion and a house were not all she needed.

First, on demand reflects what our customers are doing with their businesses - streamlining their business processes to make them more flexible and adaptive to new markets and opportunities. They use information technology as a tool to integrate these processes, so obviously IT is a critical enabler of on demand. In the case of IBM software, our focus has been on making sure customers can use our products - WebSphere, DB2, Lotus, Tivoli, and Rational - to establish what we call an on demand operating environment, which is a middleware infrastructure that gives our customers a way to build, integrate, and manage their new and existing applications.
Making it possible for people to do this required that we create a new, standards-based computing model. This model is based on the technical principles of a service-oriented architecture. It is delivered in our products, ones like WebSphere Business Integration, that customers can buy today. However, more and more, we are seeing customers starting to approach this from the business process angle, using our business consultants to define the business processes, and then tying the delivery of those processes to a set of technology models that help them achieve their goals.
Many customers have begun to realize the business benefits of on demand. Charles Schwab has implemented a WebSphere-based solution to allow their financial advisors to deliver portfolio analyses to their clients in near real time. By taking advantage of grid computing features in WebSphere, they have been able to make more efficient use of server resources and reduce the elapsed time to run these transactions from 8 - 10 minutes to just 15 seconds.
Jeremy Geelan: How favorably does it resonate with your customers, the fourfold typology of 21st century businesses as needing to be responsive, resilient, variable, and focused? Are there any further attributes that have emerged as being equally important?
Swainson: On demand resonates very well with customers because it maps to what businesses today are trying to do - find ways to be more flexible and responsive in order to stay competitive. It manifests itself in things like our WebSphere and Tivoli products, where systems become self-monitoring and self-healing, cutting down on system outages and enabling employees to spend more time on higher-level tasks. We're also seeing more interest in business process integration projects geared to specific industries.
Jeremy Geelan: How large do SOAs loom in IBM's vision for the future?
Swainson: IBM has been helping customers build service-oriented architectures for more than 10 years, because SOA is a design pattern, not a product per se. We have thousands of customers who have built these on WebSphere and MQ. Based on this experience, we have worked with the industry to define a set of standards and have codified successful implementations into a set of templates and guidelines for our services teams to use.
We have worked with thousands of customers on Web services and SOA engagements, and we lead the industry in every aspect of SOA, including products, standards, education, services, and experience. Our work includes standards created by the big market share of products like WebSphere MQ enterprise messaging, as well as more formal standards. IBM was a primary driver behind the Web Services Interoperability Organization, and we work with other vendors to introduce specifications for transactions, reliability, management, and grid computing. JSR109 is a recent example.
Jeremy Geelan: And grid computing - where does that fit in?
Swainson: Grid computing is another technical underpinning of an on demand environment. We've been helping our customers develop grids for years, primarily for scientific analysis. Now IBM is introducing technology that can be applied to commercial grid environments to make them easier and less expensive to implement.
Jeremy Geelan: In terms of the competitive landscape, since Gartner reported that 37% of all deployed application servers were WebLogic vs. IBM (at 22%), things have changed dramatically. What are the current statistics in terms of market share between you and BEA?
Swainson: Last year Gartner reported that IBM's share of the application server market rose to 37% in 2002 from 31% in 2001, making us the market leader. BEA dropped to second place, with market share declining 5 points, to 29%. Our goal was to become the market leader, and we think we're extending our lead.
Jeremy Geelan: When talking to your customers, what are the key integration drivers from their perspective, and how is IBM delivering on each of them?
Swainson: Integration is a must, but the integration priorities of customers are unique depending on the size of the business, the industry they compete in, the customer's long-term goals, and the customer's technology capability. There are a couple of key themes that rise to the top. Customers want to link different areas of their business with those of their clients and partners, and they want to leverage as much of their existing infrastructure as possible.
We help them get there with IBM's open, standards-based approach to integration, with WebSphere. We enable customers to automate the flow of information and process transactions to help them become more agile and responsive. We use horizontal end-to-end integration to leverage existing investments to increase business flexibility and efficiency and drive ROI. IBM can tailor integration solutions to best suit the needs and priorities of any customer, no matter the industry. IBM offers 63 industry-tailored software solutions spanning 12 industries. And every one of those 63 solutions is based on WebSphere.
Jeremy Geelan: How about the breakdown between large enterprises and SMBs - where does IBM see the most growth? What kind of things are you doing for the SMB space?
Swainson: The SMB marketplace represents a big opportunity for top line revenue growth for IBM. According to AMI-Partners, the overall market opportunity for SMBs last year was $300 billion, and it is the fastest-growing segment of the IT market - growing faster than the IT market as a whole. SMB is also the fastest-growing market segment for IBM. We just announced a strong start to this year with first quarter SMB growth at 15% year to year - thanks in large part to a partner ecosystem that delivers more than half of IBM's total SMB revenue. Local and regional ISVs represent a cornerstone of IBM's SMB strategy - more than half of all mid-sized customer IT investments are based on the application decision.
Also, while SMBs may not have the size, global reach, and revenues of larger organizations, they still have the desire to have a successful, profitable, and growing business. IBM's Express portfolio of middleware, hardware, services, and financing is a comprehensive suite of offerings built from the ground up for SMB customers and priced with their needs in mind.
Jeremy Geelan: Jonathan Schwartz went on record in JDJ as saying "middleware is history." Clearly that wasn't meant literally, but he was saying that end-to-end "systems" will supplant it as a focus. Is the IBM view that middleware, on the contrary, is just beginning?
Swainson: Saying that middleware is "history" is laughable. IBM has tens of thousands of customers who need and use middleware for transactions, data management, development tools, systems management, security, and collaboration in a heterogeneous systems environment. The WebSphere platform experienced 12% revenue growth in 2003 over the previous year. The WebSphere platform grew 24% in 1Q04, marking its twenty-second consecutive quarter of revenue growth
Jeremy Geelan: Scott McNealy once said "We're down to three - IBM, Microsoft, and Sun." Does the recent Microsoft-Sun pact change anything as far as IBM is concerned?
Swainson: Sun is a distant fourth or fifth in middleware market share, depending on which study you're looking at. We haven't heard much about what the deal really means for Sun, Microsoft, and the future of Java, but we haven't heard that Sun is backing away from Java either. I expect that Microsoft will continue to try to convince people to move from Java to their proprietary language environment, and I expect that Sun will continue to strongly support Java.
Jeremy Geelan: Some of IBM's moves in the Java space appear to be moving away from Sun - Eclipse tooling rather than NetBeans, SWT instead of Swing, and now a new virtual machine. From one perspective it looks like IBM is trying to break away from having any licensed Sun code in its product offerings. Is this the end game?
Swainson: IBM created Eclipse because there was no industry standard for building and integrating application development tools. We see Eclipse as very supportive of Java, and it has made a large contribution to Java's success in the marketplace - and with more than 18 million downloads, it is by far the most widely adopted Java development environment. Interestingly, it is also being broadly used in non-Java environments as well, with a great deal of activity in the community now to build C and C++ tools based on Eclipse.
SWT was developed because many of our customers demanded user experiences that the Java Swing code couldn't provide. The whole notion behind Swing is to have a consistent UI model across clients; SWT, on the other hand, allows people to build UIs that are deeply integrated with the look and feel of the host platform. So you can build Windows applications with that look and feel that fully integrate into the Windows desktop, and the same goes with Linux and pervasive platforms. Having said that, Swing is part of the Java standard, and IBM delivers more products using Swing technology than anyone else in the industry.
Jeremy Geelan: Scott McNealy told IBM to stop pushing him to open source Java until you do the same with DB2. If Java is not open sourced, how does this affect IBM's licenses with Sun in the future? How serious was the call to Sun to collaborate with you on an open source implementation of Java?
Swainson: We have been stating for years that we'd like Sun to make Java a true open standard, and we remain optimistic. IBM's long-standing support for open source is based on our conviction that openness creates new opportunities and spurs innovation. Open source also gives customers choice and helps them meet their IT needs more quickly and effectively. An open source Java platform would be good for the industry, good for customers, and good for Java.
Jeremy Geelan: What major product announcements is IBM likely to make this summer, or should we be waiting for the fall for the next big additions?
Swainson: Later this year we'll be announcing the next generation of WebSphere Application Server, Version 6. It will be the foundation for IBM's on demand operating environment and will advance IBM's leadership in things like grid and autonomic computing, security, systems management, application development, and SOAs. We'll also begin rolling out software that will closely integrate IBM's market-leading WebSphere MQ messaging software with high-level integration to form a single Enterprise Service Bus infrastructure.
All these products are part of IBM's effort to help customers compete more effectively in the marketplace. We will continue to help customers solve pain points, such as integrating far-flung silos of information across the enterprise and with trading partners. And we will continue to deliver on IBM's on demand vision through industry leadership in open standards, ongoing investment in research and software development, strategic acquisitions of companies like Rational and, more recently, Trigo and Candle, and our unmatched portfolio of software, hardware, services and financing. That's how we are making on demand a reality for our customers.

According to a recent Barron''s article, IBM''s software unit did not receive any bonuses as a result of their poor performance over the past year and only grew about 1%, primarily from growth in the Rational software division. Also who has a WSJ subscription can read the follwing article, very interesting: http://online.wsj.com/barrons/article/0,,SB107671594816229855-search,00 Extracts: "...IBM''s software execs were shut out of a portion of their 2003 bonuses because of lackluster sales growth. Smith Barney software analyst Tom Berquist, who tracks IBM''s software performance relative to the companies he covers, estimates that Big Blue''s software sales grew only 1% after accounting for foreign-exchange gains. And he agreed with us that the bulk of that came from IBM''s Rational software outfit, which it acquired in 2003..." "...Berquist points out that IBM reported that WebSphere, which competes directly with BEA Systems'' WebLogic software, was up 10% for the fourth quarter. But a closer look at the numbers, Berquist says, indicates little change from previous quarters wherever the two companies compete head-to-head.
"IBM in most cases bundles software with mainframe sales, [and thus] it is likely that most -- if not all -- of WebSphere''s growth is on the mainframe side," Berquist notes. ..."
Not to mention the fact that many sales and managers of the software division from IBM left...

Few years back when IBM first started looking into Linux as the means of support for mainframes and later zSeries they picked four Linux developers: Red Hat, SuSE, Turbolinux, and believe it or not Caldera. Out of those Caldera was out and behind in development, so they were counted out. Turbo and SuSE were the strongest and delivered timely products for S/390, AS400, RS6000. But Turbo had to close its US operations and laid off its staff in South San Francisco in July 2001 and 2002. So, naturally only SuSE and RH remained. But RH was far behind in development of mainframe products as compared to SuSE and Turbo, simply put Red Hat was not even a player among mainframe community who were already well versed with SuSE and Turbo. In other words when Investing $50M in Novell/SUSE, IBM just naturally picked the best out there for their mainframes, that's all it is to it, they rewarded SuSE, because they got most consistent and best software development from them.

In December 2000 IBM committed to invest $1Billion in Linux software, hardware, services, the open source community and partnerships during 2001. That's only 2001! If anything, they have only increase their rate of investment.
|slackr 11/23/04 05:23:03 PM EST
IBM is huge. They retooled as a consulting company so they deliver "solutions" more than hardware, and that is why they've been big on Linux. Basically, there are a ton of little Linux consultants out there but for top-tier corporations you would only hire a company of large standing. IBM is really the only player in this type of (growing) Linux market (although Sun is moving in that direction, but my boss thinks that Big Blue will want to buy them out.)
|sofist 11/23/04 05:22:08 PM EST
IBM is not stupid. They do not want to create another Microsoft. They are going to play on two horses, one being Red Hat and the other SUSE/Novell. This makes room for IBM to make A LOT of money by selling hardware. Don't worry, in five years, there will still be Red Hat *and* SUSE - both having around 30% of the market. IBM will make it so.

How to drive traffic to a web site
The Forerunner web site has been around since 1996 and is a record of almost every article I have ever written or published. It contains articles I wrote from 1987 until the present. It also has a massive pro-life site designed by Meredith Raney that is more vast than anything I have yet seen. It is the public record describing how, by the grace of God, a handful of Christian activists closed all the abortion clinics in Brevard County:
While a lot of things have changed with me in the past few years, I haven't changed my theology and worldview so drastically that I will ever completely disavow what I wrote all those years ago. At worst even the most irrelevant articles are an accurate historical record of my work.
However, when I redesigned the web site four months ago, I was considering jettisoning a few of the articles that were no longer relevant to anything I am concerned about at present. Then a friend pointed out that some of those articles, even if they have relatively low traffic, may be stumbled onto by people doing searches. Since I have over 2000 articles at forerunner.com people are not entering mainly from the front index page. People find one of those 2000 pages and they navigate elsewhere on the site.
All external links to those 2000 pages drives the traffic to the site. Ranking.com has recorded over 11,000 links to forerunner.com. Because I have so many links into the site some individual pages are very popular.
For instance, go to Google.com and type in PHILLIS WHEATLEY. You will see forerunner.com is #3.
The key word THEONOMY yields a #1 ranking for forerunner.com on Google.
And there are many other search words that yield similar indexing/ranking.
There are many other key words and phrases that give forerunner.com a page rank in the top ten on the major search engines.
Why are these ranked so high?
- The pages were the first on their topic ten years ago when the web was still in its infancy.
- In that time, these individual pages have generated many outside links from other sites.
- Search engines look at the number of links as the number one factor for indexing / ranking.
- A high ranking in the search engines leads to more visits and higher ranking in the index.
- All these factors work together to drive traffic, it's like a snowball effect.
And because of that situation, I can add a single page and it will quickly be indexed and ranked highly because of the preeminence of the entire site.
For instance, two months ago, I bought a non-copyrighted an article called:
"Analyzing Website Traffic"
Do a search for "Analyzing Website Traffic" and you will see The Forerunner's article is already #9 in ranking on the Google index. The amazing thing about this is that this is a non-copyrighted article that is sold to help web sites generate traffic. It appears on 416 other sites indexed by Google.
The reason for the fast track on the major search engines is that forerunner.com has had ten years to build its traffic. Other web sites and search engine robots have done all the work without me even knowing how was done!
(Does that sound like the premise of a science fiction novel?)
That is why the domain name of forerunner.com is more valuable to me than it would be to anyone else who did not have 2000 articles on their web site for ten years. There will probably never be a need for me to start another web site under a new domain name. This domain name will always give me the better traffic than a new site would.
In fact, my top priority for the summer of 2006 is to add 1000 pages to the site. That in itself ought to double my traffic and e-commerce income simply because I know which are the most popular types of articles on my site.
I am often surprised that a long ago forgotten article will suddenly make it onto a national news service's list of links and suddenly that article will jump to the top of my referral list. We just had our national day of prayer, so people were searching for information on that and they found a 1988 article about the first national day of prayer that President Reagan instituted as a yearly event. Until last week, it was a forgotten article, but in the last seven days it has vaulted to the number 1 page on my site.
Now the key phrase "National Day of Prayer" is currently #7 on Google.
You might be surprised to see the list of the most popular referrer pages in the first week of May 2006:
By now you should have figured out the several ways that just posting this article to my blog is going to increase my traffic. Take these principles and prosper!

The Silent Scream (DVD) Eight Languages
"When the lives of the unborn are snuffed out, they often feel pain, pain that is long and agonizing." – President Ronald Reagan to National Religious Broadcasters Convention, January 1981
Ronald Reagan became convinced of this as a result of watching The Silent Scream – a movie he considered so powerful and convicting that he screened it at the White House.
The modern technology of real-time ultrasound now reveals the actual responses of a 12-week old fetus to being aborted. As the unborn child attempts to escape the abortionist's suction curette, her motions can be seen to become desperately agitated and her heart rate doubles. Her mouth opens – as if to scream – but no sound can come out. Her scream doesn't have to remain silent, however … not if you will become her voice. This newly re-mastered version features eight language tracks and two bonus videos.
"… a high technology "Uncle Tom's Cabin" arousing public opinion just as Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 antislavery novel ignited the abolitionist movement." – Sen. Gordon Humphrey, Time Magazine

The Abortion Matrix: Defeating Child Sacrifice and the Culture of Death (DVD)
Download the free Study Guide!
Is there a connection between pagan religion and the abortion industry?
This powerful presentation traces the biblical roots of child sacrifice and then delves into the social, political and cultural fall-out that this sin against God and crime against humanity has produced in our beleaguered society.
Conceived as a sequel and update to the 1988 classic, The Massacre of Innocence, the new title, The Abortion Matrix, is entirely fitting. It not only references abortion's specific target – the sacred matrix where human beings are formed in the womb in the very image of God, but it also implies the existence of a conspiracy, a matrix of seemingly disparate forces that are driving this holocaust.
The occult activity surrounding the abortion industry is exposed with numerous examples. But are these just aberrations, bizarre yet anomalous examples of abortionists who just happen to have ties to modern day witchcraft? Or is this representative of something deeper, more sinister and even endemic to the entire abortion movement?
As the allusion to the film of over a decade ago suggests, the viewer may learn that things are not always as they appear to be. The Abortion Matrix reveals the reality of child-killing and strikes the proper moral chord to move hearts to fulfill the biblical responsibility to rescue those unjustly sentenced to death and to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves (Proverbs 24:11,12; 31:8,9).
Speakers include: George Grant, Peter Hammond, RC Sproul Jr., Paul Jehle, Lou Engle, Rusty Thomas, Flip Benham, Janet Porter and many more.

The Beast of Revelation: Identified (DVD)
Who is the dreaded beast of Revelation?
Now at last, a plausible candidate for this personification of evil incarnate has been identified (or re-identified). Ken Gentry's insightful analysis of scripture and history is likely to revolutionize your understanding of the book of Revelation — and even more importantly — amplify and energize your entire Christian worldview!
Historical footage and other graphics are used to illustrate the lecture Dr. Gentry presented at the 1999 Ligonier Conference in Orlando, Florida. It is followed by a one-hour question and answer session addressing the key concerns and objections typically raised in response to his position. This presentation also features an introduction that touches on not only the confusion and controversy surrounding this issue — but just why it may well be one of the most significant issues facing the Church today.
Ideal for group meetings, personal Bible study — for anyone who wants to understand the historical context of John's famous letter "… to the seven churches which are in Asia." (Revelation 1:4)

The Four Keys to the Millennium (Book)
Foundations in Biblical Eschatology
By Jay Rogers, Larry Waugh, Rodney Stortz, Joseph Meiring. High quality paperback, 167 pages.
All Christians believe that their great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will one day return. Although we cannot know the exact time of His return, what exactly did Jesus mean when he spoke of the signs of His coming (Mat. 24)? How are we to interpret the prophecies in Isaiah regarding the time when "the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea" (Isa. 11:19)? Should we expect a time of great tribulation and apostasy or revival and reformation before the Lord returns? Is the devil bound now, and are the saints reigning with Christ? Did you know that there are four hermeneutical approaches to the book of Daniel and Revelation?
These and many more questions are dealt with by four authors as they present the four views on the millennium. Each view is then critiqued by the other three authors.

During the great California gold rush, early prospectors sifted through rocks and streams in the hopes of finding a fortune. But bigger hauls were often claimed by going below the surface and digging deeply into mines, where a treasure trove of gold lay waiting to be unearthed. The gold rush may be ancient history, but there's still potential treasure to be tapped--and crises that can be prevented too-by companies that are willing to delve deep into their dark data.

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (AP) – Despite rain and cold in Tuesday's forecast, revelers are gathering along parade routes as the Carnival season in New Orleans heads to a crest with the unabashed celebration of Mardi Gras.
The Zulu parade began on schedule, led by a New Orleans police vanguard on horseback that included Mayor Mitch Landrieu.
Later, the floats of king of Carnival Rex and hundreds of truck trailers decorated by family and social groups would wind down St. Charles Avenue.
Light rain was beginning to fall in the morning, and umbrellas sprouted. Sleet was expected to fall north and west of the city.
On the Uptown parade route, Carol LeBlanc and husband Hov LeBlanc of New Orleans strolled along St. Charles Avenue. The cold weather doesn't worry LeBlanc. She says she prepared and wore long-johns.

Estonian Convention Bureau presents award
Tallinn Airport wins prestigious award for hosting Routes Europe 2012
At a ceremony which took place on Wednesday, January 16, Erik Sakkov, Member of the Board of Tallinn Airport was handed the award by the Estonian Convention Bureau for hosting the international event which is the only network planning forum for the entire European region. The event, which took place in May of last year, was the largest Routes Europe to date with almost 900 key industry decision makers descending on Tallinn to meet, do business and shape the future of EuropeŌĆÖs air services.
Holding Routes Europe in Estonia is, according to Sakkov, a great success. It took two years of bidding and one and a half years of preparation, but the event has paid off hugely, in fact, Tallinn Airport were able to announce during the event that they had secured a new air route with Turkish Airlines who confirmed they would be commencing a three times weekly service to the Estonian capital.
ŌĆ£However unique we might consider our Old Town or singing tradition, the reality is that looking from Europe, we are still seen like a post-soviet country somewhere in Siberia,ŌĆØ commented Sakkov, ŌĆ£No flyer or advertisement can disprove this prejudice, the only thing that helps is to get all the decision makers here and show them, how great a place Estonia is for a tourist and that itŌĆÖs also one of the most favorable places in Europe for doing business.ŌĆØ
Andrew Rowe, VP Operations for Routes, organizers of the event said the delegates were impressed with the hospitality and seamless organization by Tallinn Airport: ŌĆ£Routes Europe 2012 in Tallinn was a great success. It was a fantastic show and the attending airlines and airports enjoyed the city and Estonian hospitality. They left with a very favorable impression of Tallinn and Estonia.ŌĆØ Rowe continued, ŌĆ£To quote from one delegateŌĆÖs feedback ŌĆśthis was one of the best organized events I have ever attended, a big thank you to Tallinn Airport.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
ŌĆ£Altogether, there were 11 nominees for the award of Conference of the Year 2012,ŌĆØ said Kadri Karu, CEO of the Estonian Convention Bureau, continuing, ŌĆ£Routes Europe 2012 definitely caught the attention and acknowledgement of Estonia as well as abroad.ŌĆØ This January, the Estonian Convention Bureau (ECB) celebrates its 5th year. ECB serves as an association of convention businesses and municipalities, which aims to promote Estonia as a destination for convention tourism and Karu promises that the Estonian Convention Bureau will do everything to promote Estonia as a host for events of this magnitude.ŌĆØ

Wyeth has decided to axe development efforts on the Hedgehog agonist program with Curis, which is still in the preclinical phase. The partnership will conclude on May 6.
Under the original agreement, which was entered into in January 2004, Curis licensed its Hedgehog protein and small molecule pathway agonists to Wyeth. The firms focused preclinical R&D on stroke and cardiovascular disease treatments.
"We remain hopeful about the future prospects of the Hedgehog agonist as a potential therapeutic for various diseases and we will seek a new partner to continue advancing this program," remarks Daniel R. Passeri, president and CEO of Curis. "Our internal data and third-party publications suggest that Hedgehog agonists may provide therapeutic benefit in several disease areas including neurological, cardiovascular, and bone disorders as well as for wound healing and hair growth."

Authors: Scott Hay-Bartlem and Clinton Jackson (Cooper Grace Ward)
At the SMSF Association (formerly SPAA) National Conference, being held this week in Melbourne, the ATO has confirmed that it is taking a new approach when an Auditor Contravention Report (ACR) is lodged for an SMSF.
The ATO will now telephone trustees of SMSFs (or directors where there is a trustee company) when they receive an ACR to check the trustees or directors are aware of the breach, how it occurred and the action being taken to remedy it. The ATO is aiming to make the call very shortly after the ACR is lodged.
The situation will be escalated to an audit if the trustees or directors are:
If a contravention is identified on an audit, an automatic administrative penalty will apply.
This means that, when an ACR is being lodged for an SMSF, advisers should ensure the trustees or directors are aware they will be very shortly contacted by the ATO and are equipped to discuss the breach and the remedial action under way.
