Spice Rubbed Salmon with Cucumber Relish
I love finding new ways to cook fish. This salmon is similar to the BBQ Salmon, in that it has a delicious spice rub, but it's different in that it's finished with a refreshing summer vegetable relish. It's a wonderful combination, and it looks beautiful on the plate - bonus!
Start by making the spice rub - just take a look at all these herbs and spices - you know it's going to be good!
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, garlic powder, oregano,
cumin, chili powder,
paprika, salt, thyme,
and stir to combine. Place the salmon fillets on a greased baking sheet and then sprinkle on the spice mixture.
Bake the salmon for 8-10 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork. While it's cooking, prepare the relish. Chop up the cucumber, red pepper and onion and place it a medium bowl. Add the vinegar
and the salt and stir well to combine. Stir in the mint. (Oops, I forgot this part - it adds great flavor AND color so don't forget!)
To serve, top the salmon with the relish, and taste summer!

Black Bean and Veggie Quesadillas
I started making these a few years ago after having them at a local restaurant. They're incredibly versatile, because you can use whatever veggies you like or have on hand! I especially love the combination of zucchini and mushrooms with black beans, but red pepper, onion, or your favorite grilled veggies are great additions. These quesadillas also freeze well - if you can't use all 4, freeze them for a quick lunch later.
I start by chopping the zucchini and then seasoning them with a garlic blend. If you don't have a favorite garlic blend, just use some garlic salt, or salt and pepper, or whatever seasoning you like and have on hand.
Heat your grill pan over medium high heat, then toss in the zucchini and cook them, stirring once in a while, until they're tender and have those delicious grill marks.
Now add in the sliced mushrooms
and cook and stir until the mushrooms are tender, about 3 minutes. Remove the vegetables to a bowl. Now you can wipe out the skillet you just used, and return the pan to the heat - reduce the heat to medium. Place a tortilla in the skillet and top with a handful of cheese on one half.
Add the zucchini and mushrooms,
then spoon on some black beans.
Top with another handful of cheese.
Now flip the "blank" side over on top of the cheese
and press down lightly to help seal it. Then carefully turn it over
and cook on this side for 2 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas and serve with salsa and your favorite fixings.

Black Bean and Veggie Quesadillas
1 medium zucchini, cut into quarters lengthwise then sliced crosswise
1 tsp. garlic - herb seasoning blend
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup black beans (if from a can, rinsed and drained)
4 whole wheat tortillas
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
Season the zucchini with the garlic-herb seasoning. Heat a grill pan to medium high heat, and add the zucchini. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is almost tender. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove the vegetables to a bowl.
Wipe out the grill pan and return it to the heat; reduce heat to medium. Place a tortilla in the pan and place a few tablespoons of cheese on one half. Add about 1/4 cup of black beans and about 1/2 cup of vegetables on top of the cheese, and cover with another few tablespoons of cheese.
Fold the blank half of the tortilla over the filling and press it down lightly with a spatula to help it seal. Carefully turn over the quesadilla and cook on this side for about 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Leftover quesadillas can be wrapped in foil and frozen, then reheated in a toaster oven or microwave. Serves 4.

Cherry Berry Almond Streusel Tart
Cherries and almonds are two of my favorite flavors. So I couldn't have been more excited that it was the combination for this month's Improv Challenge! I decided to fancy up a "fruit crisp" and turn it into a tart, maintaining the yummy and crunchy streusel-like topping, but adding a traditional pie crust.
This also gave me a good excuse to practice my crust making - it was my New Year's resolution (two years ago, but who's counting?) and I've made a couple now. I think this was my best attempt - I got a nice, tender crust which was relatively easy to work with.
I use the food processor for my crust. If you don't have one, you can just cut in the butter the old fashioned way and then stir, stir, stir.
If you use a food processor, fit the bowl with the metal blade, and combine the flour, salt, shortening and butter in the bowl.
Pulse 6 or 7 times until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, but you still have a few pea-sized chunks of butter and shortening.
Now, with the machine running, add the cold water through the food tube. Continue processing until the mixture forms a ball.
Transfer to a lightly floured surface, and roll out - you want the piece to be slightly bigger than your tart pan.
(I know - there's a shadow on the dough. It's from my laptop, perched precariously on a Fresca box.)
Carefully transfer the dough to the tart pan, press into the pan and then trim the edges. (No pictures of this - too risky.)
For the filling, combine the cherries and berries
in a medium saucepan. Add the sugar and cornstarch,
and cook over medium heat until it comes to a boil, stirring often. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until it thickens.
Remove from the heat and add the almond extract, then pour the filling into the crust.
For the topping, in a small bowl combine the oats, flour, brown sugar,
cinnamon and butter.
Use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut in the butter, then sprinkle the streusel over the filling.
I can hardly wait til this is ready to eat!
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the topping is golden brown, then cool on a wire rack.
You can serve this warm or at room temperature. When you're ready to serve, remove the outside of the tart pan.
Isn't this so beautiful?
Serve with ice cream or whipped cream, and enjoy the delicious summer flavors!

Cherry Berry Almond Streusel Tart
1 1/4 cups flour
1/4 tsp. salt
3 Tbsp. cold butter
3 Tbsp. cold shortening
1/4 cup cold water
2 cups cherries, pitted and halved
2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
2/3 cup sugar
3 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. almond extract
1/2 cup oats
3 Tbsp. brown sugar
3 Tbsp. flour
3 Tbsp. butter
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup sliced almonds
For the crust, put the metal blade in a food processor and add flour, salt, butter and shortening to the bowl. Pulse until mixture is the consistency of coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter. With the processor running, add the water through the feed tube, a little at a time, until the dough forms into a ball.
Remove the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll out slightly larger than your tart pan. Carefully transfer the crust to the tart pan, press in lightly, and trim the edges.
For the filling, combine the cherries, berries, sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens. Remove from the heat. Stir in the almond extract, then pour into the crust.
For the topping, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over the top of the filling.
Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes or until filling is bubbly and streusel is golden.
Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 8-10 servings.

Individual Egg Bakes
I got the idea to put eggs and cheese and veggies in a muffin tin from a local restaurant who serves their "egg casserole" this way. It wasn't too long after I made these that I started seeing "mini quiches" pinned all over the place. So, call these what you will - they are super easy and super delicious. I found that they also freeze well and reheat beautifully in the toaster oven. (Perfect for taking to work for a healthy breakfast!)
The wonderful thing about these individual egg bakes, mini quiches, bites of yumminess, whatever you call them - is that you can use whatever vegetables and cheese that you like or have on hand. I'll give you the recipe for what I used, but I think there are probably limitless combinations. Peppers, onion, zucchini, spinach, even roasted potatoes (!), meatless or with bacon, ham, sausage, chicken, etc. -- get creative!
Start by combining the vegetables and meat in a medium bowl.
I used broccoli, mushrooms and keilbasa. In a large measuring cup, whisk together the eggs and milk.
Season with the garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Divide the meat and veggie mixture between 12 muffin cups.
Sprinkle with the cheese,
then pour the eggs over. The muffin cups will be mostly full.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until eggs are set and tops are golden.
I love how nice these look,
and how chock full of veggies they are!

Baby Bella "Fries"
It's another reveal day for Secret Recipe Club! This month I was assigned to the blog of our gracious hostess, Angie! I love finding new ways to prepare vegetables, so I knew I had my recipe when I found this fun new twist on mushrooms.
These would be great paired with any kind of meat, or for a meatless dinner with a big salad. Angie made hers with sliced portobellos, but I used baby bellas. I also changed it up slightly by using panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) instead of regular. I like the crunch that panko provides.
I also made a dipping sauce of equal parts Ranch salad dressing and chili garlic sauce. Between the red pepper flakes in the coating mix and this dip, it packed quite a punch spice-wise!
Start by creating the coating mixture. In a small shallow bowl or on a small plate, combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese,
garlic powder, red pepper flakes, oregano,
and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine. In another small bowl, whisk the eggs. Slice the mushrooms,
then dip in the egg
and then the breadcrumbs, coating both sides of the mushroom.
Place the coated mushrooms on a large baking sheet, either greased or lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 8 minutes, flip each mushroom over then bake for an additional 6-8 minutes. There will be a wonderful aroma while these bake!
Serve with a dipping sauce of your choice, or enjoy them as is.

2 eggs, beaten
In a shallow bowl or on a plate, mix together the panko, Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. In a small bowl, beat the two large eggs.

You're right -- Sony does offer you a slice for all the props you're giving them today.
As for "iPod killer"... I gotta say, there's so many co's who are trying so very hard to get into the mp3 market and each time a product is unveiled or discussed, the word "iPod" comes up. This only proves how much Apple has grabbed the market with their brand.
As an iPod owner (1G, kickin' it old skool stylee
), I find the whole thing really amusing. I didn't get the thing for the "cool factor". It's really a great little device -- and one of my closest friends (I honestly believe we have a psychic bond. It knows what I'm in the mood for and plays it. Seriously.). Sure, the battery is troubling. I charge it everyday and it does fine. Ok, I am often worried about when and if the hard drive will kick it. But it's small enough to fit in my pocket, and it hasn't failed me yet.
Will some other device that's lingering out there take my pod's place when it dies? I hope so. I have 10 gigs of music that needs a good home. Do I want something that will cook my eggs, download news, and do 1k other functions? No. I just want a decent, pocket-sized, reliable mp3 player with a boat-load of storage space. I think this is the point that alot of these competitors miss.

Alison Sweeney just welcomed her second child, daughter Megan Hope at 12 minutes to midnight on Jan. 12. The Biggest Loser host and Days of our Lives actress describes the quick delivery of Megan on her official blog. Alison also outlines how she saw herself on the cover of Pregnancy magazine for the first time just after delivering her daughter.
"There is SO much to say… I don't know where to begin. First of all, yes, I had to go right to the hospital after shooting a weigh-in at Biggest Loser. So, I arrived not having eaten lunch, or anything. And Megan was born that night! At one point the Dr thought things were moving slowly, and it might not be until 4 or 5am. So I sent my restless husband off with his friend for a bite to eat (I certainly didn't want them eating in front of me since I wasn't allowed any food – which I didn't know until it was too late. Take note! Eat beforehand!) And then seriously, he couldn't have been gone 10 minutes, my girlfriend and I were chatting away, and everything happened all at once. (euphemism intended for all squirmy people.)
Click below to continue reading about Megan's quick arrival…
Next thing I know, my friend is texting dave – hurry back!!! And the Dr is saying DON'T DO ANYTHING, do breathe too hard, till he gets back. And once he returned, scrubbed in, it wasn't more than 15 minutes later she was born. She did not want to be born on the 13th! Lol. Which apparently was a bet between Dave and his buddy. Here's a funny side story. One of the nurses looking after Megan and I was a long time Days fan. And she got such a kick out of telling me about how her colleagues were all doing double takes as they went to put out the latest issue of Pregnancy Magazine in their waiting area, only to see their patient on the cover! She brought me a copy – since I hadn't seen it yet – and she was having such fun teasing them all for being star struck. What timing right? That the mag would be released while I was in the hospital?

A Recipe for Airline Success: Using Technology to Capture Essential Gains in Airline Productivity
Over the past 30 years, profitability in the airline industry has rarely exceeded the average cost of capital employed, despite steady increases in passenger traffic and destinations. In the coming years, it is likely that airline profits will be throttled further by the global economic downturn, high fuel costs, and the prospect of ever more stringent environmental regulations. In order to survive and prosper in these conditions, airlines must rationalize their processes and increase asset utilization to a greater degree than ever before. This will require business-driven IT transformation--that is, the fundamental redesign and integration of business systems and processes within and across airline functions.

Over the past 30 years, profitability in the airline industry has rarely exceeded the average cost of capital employed despite steady increases in passenger traffic and destinations. In the coming years, it is likely that airline profits will be throttled further by the global economic downturn, high fuel costs, and the prospect of ever more stringent environmental regulations. In order to survive and prosper in these conditions, airlines must rationalize their processes and increase asset utilization to a greater degree than ever before. This will require business-driven IT transformation—that is, the fundamental redesign and integration of business systems and processes within and across airline functions. Accomplishing this task will not be easy. Airlines will have to carefully manage the internal demand for IT services, implement project delivery methodologies that focus on business process design and change management, and adopt a sourcing strategy that enables them to match suppliers to project goals on the basis of the capabilities and degree of collaboration required. Those that do will be able to significantly raise their business performance and earn improved returns on their IT investments.
Booz & Company
Airlines' Complexity Challenge
have deployed to radically streamline and integrate their processes. Instead, airlines have mostly custom-built their applications to conform to their processes and have not changed this approach with new applications (see Exhibit 1). The typical airline pays a steep price for maintaining its process complexity and IT legacy systems. For example, an airline that has not renovated its processes and systems for flight planning and dispatching requires up to five times as much staff time to dispatch its fleet as an airline that has redesigned and automated these processes using state-of-the-art IT systems.
Typically, airlines feature highly complex business processes, supported by specialized IT systems that reside in functional silos and lack crossfunctional integration. In fact, more than 60 percent of airlines' software is custom-built, versus less than 40 percent in other industries. By and large, airlines have not adopted the ERP systems that other industries, such as automotive and consumer products,
The price will get higher yet as the coming wave of airline mergers exacerbates the costs of inefficient processes and legacy systems. As airlines seek the cost savings and other synergies that these mergers promise, their CIOs and IT organizations will need to integrate disparate legacy IT systems. This is a costly and high-risk undertaking, which explains why many merged airlines are still saddled with a portfolio of business models and IT systems operating in parallel, while the synergies they targeted remain only partially realized.

Highlights: - Airlines can no longer afford the steep price they have been paying to maintain process complexity and legacy IT systems. - Business-driven IT transformation delivers outsized performance gains because it redesigns and integrates processes and systems. - Demand management, processoriented and change-focused project management, and savvy sourcing practices are the three key ingredients of successful transformation.
The Opportunity: Business-Driven IT Transformation
Simply cutting IT costs will not save an airline. Instead, airlines need to consider how to use IT to improve their business performance. A simple example illustrates why this is so: Using IT systems to improve flight planning and scheduling can achieve a 2 percent reduction in fuel consumption—which has the same bottom-line impact as a 20 percent reduction in IT spending. Further, the net present value of the reduction in fuel consumption is much higher because the reduction requires far less effort to implement than does the 20 percent cut in IT costs. A focus on business performance should be a given in IT initiatives— but it is not. Many airlines are currently pursuing major systemsreplacement initiatives. Too often, however, the business cases for these initiatives rely heavily on IT cost reductions and ignore opportunities to create tangible business value. Further, the functional specifications for the new systems are heav-
ily biased toward the current way of doing things and don't include changes in processes and organization to improve business performance. The effects of this approach include inflated project costs (because new systems must be reprogrammed to fit existing processes), poorly defined system integration requirements, and a notable lack of enthusiasm for project ownership among business managers. The result is poor implementations and project failures. It is not until airlines use new technology to dramatically restructure their current processes and streamline the complexity of their overall systems, as well as complete their integration effort, that system transformations can significantly improve business performance and contribute more to the airline's bottom line than pure IT cost reduction. But business-driven technology transformation programs require a diligent planning and mobilization phase, in which the business makes the most of IT's ability to improve and simplify its operating model. Such programs also require critical skills that are often missing in IT departments, including the capacity to engage in an effective dialogue with the business to ensure a focus on business improvement. These discussions should focus on the priorities and options available, project-delivery capabilities, and mechanisms for demand management (e.g., prioritization processes, rewards for joint business/IT success).
Booz & Company
Significant Productivity Gains through Better IT
The reward for airlines that can muster the will and skill needed to successfully undertake business-driven IT restructurings is a substantial reduction in operating cost, as well as enhanced asset utilization in fleet, crew, and slots. There are also revenue gains to be found along the entire value chain of an airline, including pricing, sales, and distribution; planning, scheduling, and operations; passenger services; maintenance; and the back office (see Exhibit 2). Initiatives in certain areas of the value chain, however, offer more potential than others. These include pricing and revenue management; network planning, scheduling, and operations control; flight planning; and passenger services.
Pricing and Revenue Management: In quest of fast revenue gains, many airlines have implemented pricing and revenue management (RM) systems that are either managed poorly or not supported by properly tailored business processes and data. The result is inaccurate forecasting and incorrect decision parameters. In extreme cases, such RM systems can actually reduce margins and seat load factors. Conversely, the successful introduction or improvement of a revenue management system can generate additional revenues of 2 to 4 percent. To capture these gains, airlines must first develop their RM capabilities and align their RM processes and tools. Only then can they evaluate and get full value from more sophisticated optimization models (e.g., O&D, O&D/PNR, Hybrid) and more complex steering methods (e.g., intraday price steering vectors), which enable more granular approaches to revenue management. Network Planning, Scheduling, and Operations Control: Typically, airlines manage these functions separately, using different processes, databases, and IT systems
for planning, execution, and decision making. This leads to inefficiencies caused by numerous handoffs and poorly integrated aircraft, crew, slot, and MRO scheduling. Today, advanced planning tools and integrated processes can be used to combine network planning, flight and crew scheduling, operations control, and flight dispatch. The resulting improvements in asset utilization, fuel consumption, and overall process cost, as well as the faster, smoother reactions to service disruptions, yield significant operating cost reductions. Flight Planning: Modern flight planning and dispatch systems can help airlines capture fuel savings of as much as 2 percent of total fuel costs and improve staff productivity. These sophisticated systems allow the automatic recalculation of the optimal route and fuel intake for individual flights prior to their departure. A number of airlines have already introduced the tools featured in these systems to improve their flight planning and create a platform that can support interactive paperless flight plans. But again, leveraging the benefits of new flight planning and

dispatch systems requires more than the technology. It requires a wealth of near-real-time information, including aeronautical data, aircraft performance data, and current weather reports, as well as changes in the behaviors of users, particularly pilots. Passenger Services: Most airlines are still working with reservations, inventory, and departure control systems that were designed during the 1960s and '70s. In addition to incurring operational costs that are rising as much as 10 percent per year, these outdated legacy systems do not meet their airlines' present-day needs or their future aspirations. Modern passenger service system (PSS) solutions provide true customercentricity and enable increased business benefits, including cost reductions, thanks to leaner, zerotouch processes and automated disruption handling. They also protect and enhance revenue thanks to improved revenue integrity, sales channel integration, and inventory functionality. An increasing number of airlines— large and small—are starting to replace their old PSS solutions with newer software. And some alliance carriers are jointly implementing such systems to capture the additional benefits inherent in the provision of seamless service across airlines. The most important lesson gleaned from these recent PSS replacement initiatives is that IT-led programs often fail. New passenger service systems are not "technology replacements" as much as "technological revolutions." They require a shift from a transaction-based design built on passenger name records (a "PNR-centric" design) to a more flexible, customercentered design. Such a shift requires a great deal of insight into the core of an airline's everyday business. Thus, PSS replacement programs need to be jointly managed by IT and business managers.
Taking on the Scheduling Conundrum Network planning, scheduling, and operations control are the cornerstones of an airline's on-time performance and major determinants of its cost efficiency. But airlines typically experience major problems in this area that stem from inefficiencies in schedule design and the difficulties of irregular operations (bad weather, unplanned maintenance, aircraft-on-ground, etc.). Schedule designs for critical processes such as rotation/slot planning, maintenance, and crew planning are often inherently flawed because long- and medium-term planning mechanisms are based on data that is too high-level or is inaccurate. This creates the need to replan operations in the short term, typically three days before departure. (At some airlines, more than 70 percent of operations require short-term replanning.) These unaligned short-term plans make operations control extremely difficult, especially when the daily challenge of schedule disruptions is added to the mix. During disruptions, operations control staff must pull together information from multiple sources and systems and make fast decisions in order to deliver on the airline's promise of service quality and punctuality. Each of these decisions has a direct impact on the airline's efficiency, effectiveness, and resilience, as well as the overall performance and profits of the airline and its network. Modern IT systems, featuring decision support and other tools, allow airlines to integrate dispersed planning processes, ensuring that all departments work from consistent planning data and automating operations control processes and decision making. These systems enable airlines to find the most efficient scheduling solutions, improve performance, and significantly lower process costs. Capturing these benefits requires more than a new IT system—it also requires radical process change and strong change management. And it demands the involvement, experience, and support of staff in all business functions from long-term planning to flight-event control. When all of these conditions are met, then integrated, centralized planning data can be combined with decentralized decision making to solve scheduling problems in ways that provide optimal benefits locally and to the business as a whole.

Three Ingredients of Business-Driven IT Transformation
Because state-of-the-art software plays a critical role in airline productivity improvement, unlocking its full value requires expert IT departments capable of collaborating with business managers to shape technological transformations. To successfully implement business-driven IT transformation, three elements are needed: effective demand management, a new project delivery approach and skill set, and advanced supplier management (see Exhibit 3). Building a Strong Demand Management Capability: Demand management, as the central process for managing internal demand for IT services and capabilities, is
the most important link between an airline's business managers and their IT department. It is a two-way link: Airline business managers must understand that they have to play a strong role in ensuring that the future IT application's landscape and processes are suitable for their business needs, just as they take care of, for example, selecting aircraft types; at the same time, IT needs to develop a stronger business understanding and become a partner in both process innovation and standardization. It is essential that demand management be properly regulated. When it is unregulated, IT projects are funded whether or not they have a clearly
Exhibit 3 Improvement Levers of Business-Driven Transformation
FROM IT-DRIVEN TRANSFORMATION Demand Management - IT reacting to short- and medium-term business needs - Project pipeline driven by availability of budget and affordability - Frequent escalations regarding resource allocation and service quality
TO BUSINESS-DRIVEN TRANSFORMATION - Long-term IT architecture vision closely aligned with business goals - Business and IT collaboration at project screening, prioritization, and delivery - Transparency in projects, service levels, cost, and resource consumption - Retooling toward a package implementation approach (leverage best practices embedded in COTS software) - Focus on process redesign, systems integration, and change management capabilties - Use of IT to break down silos and implement cross-functional processes - Strategic sourcing capability being built - Ensuring strong internal core, but leveraging external supplier market to gain access to critical skills - Use of incentive-based, performance-driven model to capture ongoing value, recognizing that external suppliers need to be strategic partners
Project Delivery Approach
- Custom development of software against business requirements - Focus on functional specification and programming of specific business requirements as add-ons to existing systems - Development within functional silos - In-house resources dominated by technical skills, often with outdated skill set - Selective sourcing, trying to cut best deals driven by procurement (or directly by the business departments)
Strategic Sourcing

defined business case and scope— with the result that priorities are scrambled, high-potential projects are delayed, and IT is perceived as slow and misaligned. When demand is poorly regulated, multiple governance forums and steering committees impede IT decision making, and the function is perceived as overly bureaucratic. A strong demand management capability is supported by four pillars: (1) a long-term, business-driven IT application architecture vision; (2) alignment processes that allow the business and IT functions to effectively collaborate during project screening, prioritization, and delivery; (3) performance measures that create transparency in projects, service levels, costs, and resource consumption; and (4) the ability to effectively make difficult trade-offs. Deploying a New Project Delivery Approach and Skill Set: At the core of any systems renewal project, the project delivery methodology plays a critical but often unheralded role. In airlines, this methodology too often focuses on functional specifications and programming instead of business process redesign and change management. Many airlines use a custom software development approach to implement and renovate their IT infrastructures. In this approach, a long list of detailed and carrier-specific business require-
ments is fed into a software development engine, which must deliver the software exactly to specification. This approach is not only costly and geared toward serving existing processes; it is also inadequate in light of the growing number of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions for nearly all airline processes. Mature COTS systems come with efficient standard processes that largely eliminate the need to build core systems from scratch. In nondifferentiating processes—those used by almost all non-customer-facing functions in airlines—these standardized processes are more efficient and cost-effective than customized processes. Airlines need to retool their project delivery methodologies toward a package implementation approach that takes full advantage of these systems. Rather than defining detailed business requirements from scratch and expecting the IT system to deliver them one-to-one, project teams should focus on the management of the required change and, whenever feasible, adapt legacy business processes to standard processes embedded in COTS solutions. Not following this approach can have dire consequences, as one large carrier discovered after it selected a standard package system to replace the old legacy systems in the areas of operations management. The airline insisted that the software provider comply with a long list of requirements that
were based mainly on its current processes, rather than taking a fresh new look and considering a change in its processes in order to take full advantage of the new software. The outcome was a huge budget overrun caused by the reprogramming needed to make the software conform to existing processes and less-than-optimal results from the new system. Implementing this new project delivery approach requires a different skill mix in both the IT and the business departments. The focus must be much more on business process redesign and change management than on functional specification and programming. Also, the selection of the preferred systems provider becomes a strategic decision requiring careful elaboration, because the choice of the product defines, to a large degree, the viability of the future processes of the airline. Leveraging the External Supplier Market through Strategic Sourcing: There are three reasons that strategic sourcing capabilities have become so important in airline IT. First, because the choice of a software system defines the viability of the future processes of the airline to such a large degree, the selection of the system's provider becomes a strategic decision that requires careful consideration. Second, airline IT departments have lost many critically skilled employees in the turbulence and cost cutting that have occurred since 9/11. As a result, airlines need to leverage external

sources to gain access to critical skills at competitive rates. Third, by gaining access to vendor expertise, IT departments can concentrate their focus on the core competencies of demand management and project delivery and better drive improvements in quality and efficiency. One size does not fit all in sourcing strategies. The right strategy mixes strong internal talent with the capabilities of providers. And although the strategic sourcing of IT services is a proven cost-reduction and capabilitybuilding play, understanding which service providers to use and for what, where to drive for value, and how to manage the relationship is a necessity if the play is going to pay. IT organizations have a tendency to miss these nuances. They outsource in order to cut costs quickly, but struggle to find value beyond the initial deal. Worse, if they find themselves locked into an inflexible sourcing contract, they can lose the agility needed to react to changing business requirements and economic conditions. Airline IT departments seeking to improve their application portfolios, build new business capabilities, and reduce costs need to structure their sourcing relationships with the long-
term view in mind. Effective departments recognize that external service providers need to be strategic partners, not just body shops, and use an incentive-based, performance-driven model to capture ongoing value. These IT organizations are adroit when it comes to changes in the overall business environment. They can effectively dial down (by plugging in a vendor for low-cost commodity services, for example), dial up (by partnering opportunistically for access to innovation or global talent), or just say "no" when prudent. This finesse provides tremendous flexibility, but also requires strong capabilities in demand management and vendor governance in order to both oversee the pipeline of work and match it to the appropriate supply resources. Building a strategic sourcing capability requires a different type of vendor manager. Such a manager realizes the strategic nature of selection decisions and the importance of collaboration with business managers. The vendor manager also must understand how to utilize service providers to attain the right balance of cost and capability, and how to see the big picture in order to leverage innovation when and where it counts.
The airline industry was one of the first to adopt and benefit from the promise of IT, and IT remains a critical business enabler for optimizing airline productivity and profitability. Achieving this optimization requires business-driven IT transformation, which depends on a combination of process redesign and technology. Although business-driven IT transformations are not easy to achieve, a clear focus on the fundamentals—a close dialogue between business and IT, the leveraging of standard solutions for non-differentiating processes, an understanding of the capabilities required, and savvy supply management—will greatly increase the chances for airline success.

Where it broke at poll
Ard's broken rod poll got me thinking, a dangerous thing, so I decided to see where these breaks occur on the rod itself. Tell us why you think it broke in that particular spot.
Tip section
Other section
Right in front of grip (butt section)
In my case right in the middle of the tip section, 4 pc. rod. The reason. A tree jumped in front of my back cast.
Re: Where it broke at poll
because the clouser minnow smacked it on the tip
A close friend that I was teaching on a pond broke it in the butt section on an overly aggressive hook set. 4wt rod + 3lb Brown + a Jimmy Houston hook set = 5 piece rod instead of 4 piece
Re: Where it broke at poll
I'm going to keep my theory on that to myself for a while.
Re: Where it broke at poll
Mine broke about halfway up the first section, between the car door and the door jamb.
Re: Where it broke at poll
tip section broke when i stupidly laid my rod down on the bank to take a leak....got done and it had been stepped on:eek::mad:
not the brightest move:confused:
Re: Where it broke at poll
I've broken the ring off the tip-top a bunch of times. That's from not protecting the rod well enough while traveling. I'll learn some day.
I've had few rods break maybe 4 inches from the tip, either through negligence or from setting the hook too aggressively on some especially nasty vegetation.
A couple of my home rolled rods broke at the ferrule. The blank sections were matched wrong at the factory on those. Not my fault this time except for not noticing
I vote tip, but only because there wasn't an "all of the above" :o
Re: Where it broke at poll
Re: Where it broke at poll
I've broken a few rods. Most broke at the tip and were my fault in one way or another: getting ice off the guides, catching it in a tree while tripping (glad it didn't end up on youtube), and one spinning rod in a car window. But I did have one break in the bottom section just below the ferrule. Built a 9' 6wt from a blank and had it out the first time. I fished it a bit then my buddy tried it with a hair mouse. On a back cast I heard a sound like a large tree limb snapping. My friend felt terrible, but, given where it broke, I'd guess it was a faulty blank.
Re: Where it broke at poll
I've broken...one tip:o...one grip section:o...by falling down:o...and my famous bamboo graphite rod into three pieces:eek::D
So can I vote Dan?:confused:

''Yo Fatman, you got some business in the front room, dude wants to buy a ride.
Is that right? Tell him I said I'm eating a sandwich.
What's it gonna be? Me or the ham and Swiss?
You gonna miss your sale Fatman, you gonna miss your sale you fat whale.''
Those are the lyrics of one of my favourite songs of the '90s, the relentlessly offensive Fatman by Philadelphia hip-hop act G. Love & Special Sauce.
The socially accepted ridicule of those words came back to me last week as I watched a hugely overweight woman buying a drink at one of my local bars. She was squeezed into a bordering-on pornographic spandex dress that did absolutely everything to reveal her enormous bottom and vast, white, dimpled thighs.
I nodded at the woman, asking my oldest friend in the world, with whom I was drinking, ''Whattaya reckon's going on there?'' And so began one of the finer dressing downs I've experienced.
Said my friend, Eliza: ''What she's saying is, 'I'm a sexual being, I'm a soul sister and if you don't get it, f--- off, you're too superficial, you miss out.'''
I put my beer down, blushing as she continued. ''She is amazing. She chose that dress on purpose. I could never wear that dress because I'm not that confident. She's accepting of her entire body.''
I glanced around the bar, populated with beautiful people who looked like they'd never eaten cheese, and I reasoned that if you combined the hours we'd worried about how our bodies ''looked'', you could stretch them back to the Big Bang.
I've often argued that you can't help who you're attracted to - that men, too, are duped by the constant cultural Morse that you must be slender, toned and hot or you're somehow worth less than people who are. And if that cultural pressure is enough to goad women into starving themselves, surely we can recognise that it's also ample to shape what men find attractive?
This got me thinking about one of my favourite American wordsmiths, the late David Foster Wallace, who wrote there's no such thing as atheism in modern life because we all choose to worship something. ''If you worship money and things - if they are where you tap real meaning in life - you will never have enough. Worship your own body, beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly, and when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they plant you.''
Now, you might argue that the fat woman I saw in that bar was also worshipping her own allure. The more I thought about it, however, her choice to let it all hang out struck me as the worship of what is, not what could or should or will be when I lose 10 kilos or acquire A, B, C or marry him or her.
When I said this to Eliza, she patted me on the hand and said, ''That's why I love you. You're slow, but you get there eventually.''
Then we ordered a cheese plate.

Would anyone recommend using more than one Estate Agent to sell their home?
I can't help thinking that trying to skimp on the agent fee is false economy and that using two agents and playing them off against each other, would probably result in a sale price that yields more than a single agent at a competetive commission rate. Anyone else agree?

Tough one - it will cost you more in agent commission to use more than one, but the extra agents might know more buyers. I'd tough it out with one (carefully vetted) agent for the first twelve weeks then spread it out later. Crucial to get that first one right, though - focus on their local knowledge, success rate of selling homes like yours and buyer list. It was easy for the agent newcomers in 2007 when everything sold in days - get some experience on your side and it'll pay in thousands of £'s.Answered on Jun 24 2009, Report content
I mostly agree with the previous answer but would say that 12 weeks is too long as if you have made a bad choice you would be stuck in a declining market. Any good agent will be confident to sell within a 4-6 week period, even in this market! I would also resist going multi agent at any stage but maybe limit yourself to a Joint Sole Agency (two agents on a winner takes all basis). The reason I say this is that the common assumption is that vendors on a Multi agency are desperate to sell, this makes it even harder to get a good offer.Answered on Jun 25 2009, Report content
Hi, yes provided you can have a multi agent contract, that will allow you to have more than 1 Agent working for you, there are very good on-line and fixed fee agents who can save you money.Answered on Jun 26 2009, Report content
In todays market where the Estate Agents are scrambling for business you are in a great position. I would suggest using 2 agents and let them really work to find you the best buyer.Answered on Jul 22 2009, Report content
Hi put an ad in the paper yourself, take pictures and see what reslt you get from interested parties. Estate agents dont half charge for doing nothing. They have lots of people interested in "houses in your area", quote you a hudge price then reduce it due to the market slumps and send no one up to view. Failing that use two, they work better thinking the need to earn the money. I did it in England when I lived there. None of them sold my house. I only signed up for 12 weeks and sold it myself to some one that drove past after advertising it myself. Hope this helps and good luck. Jan.Answered on Jul 31 2009, Report content
Just to point out - "Joint Sole Agency" does not mean two agents compete on a winner takes all basis. It means the two agents will split the fee regardless of who finds the buyer. In terms of agent motivation this does nothing and really there are not many instances when this sort of agency arrangement will bring any benefit to the seller. The best option is to go "Dual Agency" (2 agents on a winner takes all basis). Any more than 2 agents and you start to look a bit desperate. However, coming to the market at the right price with two agents on the job makes you look "serious". This is how all corporate entities structure the sale of residential property. They also manage to get the fee down below 2%+VAT. Tough for the public to do the same but well worth it in terms of increasing the proactivity of the estate agents and thus your eventual sale price & speed of sale.
