Johnnie Walker Black Label
Review: Johnnie Walker Black Label 93.5/100
a Review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Posted on September 11, 2010
The Johnnie Walker Brand of whisky is one of the most iconic brands in all of the world. With its unique square bottle, and the labels tilted a 24 degrees off-center, the company has created a strong brand image and is considered by many to be the quintessential Scottish whisky. The company was born in about 1820, and has grown steadily to become one of the most important Scottish whisky brands in the world today.
The Black Label is a blended Scotch Whisky, which is composed of up to 40 malted and grain whiskies. The origins of the blend can be traced back to 1867, when Alexander Walker copyrighted and began to bottle Old Highland Whisky. In 1909 the name of the blend was changed to Johnnie Walker Black Label in reference to the color of the label which had become the generic means of identifying the blend amongst the Johnnie Walker customers.
All of the whiskies in the Black Label blend are aged at least 12 years, which gives this a blend a deeper character and smoothness than one normally associates with blended whiskies. You can visit the Johnnie Walker Website and learn a little more if you desire.
In the Bottle 4/5
Johnnie Walker Black, arrives in the typical square bottle shape, designed in 1920 by Alexander Walker. The shape is distinctive to the brand, and was designed to be ergonomic, allowing more bottles to be packed into a square area with less chance of breakage. A key aspect the bottle presentation is the slanted label which is tilted exactly 24 degrees off-center. The angled label was designed to catch the attention of shoppers when the bottle sat on the shelf next to the other whisky bottles.
As well, every bottle of Johnnie Walker Scotch features the Striding Man logo. Artist/Cartoonist, Tom Browne created the logo on the back of a menu card while at lunch with the Walker Brothers in 1908. The logo portrays a man walking forward, which has come to symbolize forward thinking and the pursuit for excellence for the brand. Diageo, the owners of the Johnnie Walker Brand have also created "The Striding Man Society" which is a members club for Johnnie Walker drinkers.
I find the presentation of the Johnnie Walker Black to be professional and very satisfactory. My niggle with it is the metallic screw cap which provides an inferior seal, and is prone to stripping.
In the Glass 9/10
In the glass the Johnnie Walker Black Label shows a light coppery amber color in which I can see flashes of yellow sunlight. The aroma which rises from the glass is steeped in complexity. Initially, I smell a nice cherry soaked butterscotch which seems to have a hint of green apple rising out of the glass with it. As I allow the glass to decant, the aroma deepens with accents of dried fruits and a rather floral smoke. At the very bottom lies a well of boggy peat.
It is not unusual for the nose of a glass of whisky to deepen with time, but in the case of this dram the contrast from initial nose to final nose is startling. I sense much more than I can describe. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then surely this nose deserves a thousand more words than I can write.
In the Mouth 57/60
In my first tasting of Johnnie Walker Black I was impressed by the overall flavour I encountered. All of the elements which I expected to find were in the right places and at the right strength. A rich fruity sherry smoke underlain with a nice floral organic peat seemed to anchor the whisky and to carry lighter sweeter elements forward. A nice sharp kernel of grain stood out winding through the mists of these flavours carrying a spicy oak presence that seemed to match its sharpness and intensity.
In each subsequent tasting, I grew more and more impressed. The whisky carries so much forward into the palate. There is a silkiness in spite of the kernel of grain; there are subtle little bombshells of cherry flavour that ricochet in the background of the palate; and there is the way the smoke and the peat brings the everything forward rather than swamping the flavours and quelling their goodness.
The whisky displays complexity of the highest order, yet its structure does not crumble under the stress of so much going on. It revels in the complexity and embraces all of the 40 whiskies which comprise its blend. In the end I have the impression that I may be underscoring the review. Johnnie Walker Black is a textbook example of blending of the highest order.
In the throat 14/15
Silky smooth on the finish with just a hint of sharpness to brace the throat. A lingering cherry filled smoke and a nice boggy punch of peat wrap up the experience nicely and left me wanting more.
The Afterburn 9.5/10
Anyone who believes that a blended whisky cannot achieve the heights of flavour and richness we normally associate with the single malts, just has not given Johnnie Walker Black Label a fair chance in the glass. This whisky is a complex symphony of flavour. The sharper grains add to the symphony giving this dram an added element to its character which is simply marvelous.
Alas, my bottle of Johnny Walker Black Label was only 200 ml in size and I was not able to explore cocktail variations. I have a feeling that I could have enjoyed an excellent Godfather or a sublime Rusty Nail. But in the end I drank the entire bottle neat over 6 separate tasting sessions. I do not regret this choice as I was completely taken in by this rather remarkable blend.
You may read some of my other Whisky Reviews (click the link) if you wish to have some comparative reviews.
As always you may interpret the scores I provide as follows.
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing rum or whisky. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be more familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

For years I bought into the single malt story but in the end you have to go with what your mouth tells you. I have tried 10s of different single malts (as well as other varieties and scotch blends) and none of them come close to JWB. For me, from amongst all the whiskies I have tried, this is in a class all of its own and easily the best at any price bar none.

I have recently procured a bottle, planning to revisit this blend after a whopping (approx) two years since my last sip. I hope the recipe is unchanged! Would be a shame if the dollar signs in Diageo's eyes made a compromise in quality to accomodate for getting out more bottles (especially to the East). This sounds like paranoia, but is a blatant reality these days to anyone who's an enthusiast. I hear Cardhu is a core malt in Black. Can you confirm or deny this?
Jason has a great point in his comment regarding the Green label being the best of the lot. Too bad it's been discontinued! I've only had one bottle before, and it was steller. A brilliant weaving of, mainly, Cragganmore and Talisker single malts, with other malts peppering in slightly.

Johnnie Walker Black Label is such a complex dram that it puts to shame a lot of 12 year old single malts (ie. Strathisla, Auchentoshan). Try it with a little (ie. teaspoon) of water to make it a little more creamy. Another great blend, and in my opinion, the best in the line up is Green label. You may want to consider reviewing it sometime.
By the way, you made one mistake: you bought a 200ml bottle. Next time opt for the 750ml!

Obsolescence is an unfortunate part of our digital lives. My first-generation iPad is now too old to benefit from OS updates. Windows 8 looks to be a lot less fun if you're not using it with a tablet device. Whatever top-notch phone you buy today will be replaced by something better in six months.
The audio realm defies all of these rules. While you would never use a "vintage" cell phone (Zack Morris costumes excepted), vintage audio gear not only stands the test of time, in some cases it's highly prized. Let's take a look at some old-school listening devices that have escaped the clutches of time.
PlayStation (SCPH-100X Model)
Why they're great: Fidelity. And, yes, the original PlayStation console is now a vintage device.
Surprisingly, certain models of the now 18-year-old PlayStation pack CD players of incredible quality. The hardware on these models – those with RCA jacks on the back of the unit – is so good that the playback quality has been compared favorably to CD players that cost several thousand dollars. Audiophile magazines like 6moons and Stereophile have given PlayStations very positive reviews, along with many others.
Nothing vintage is perfect, though, so there are some drawbacks. First, the PlayStation must be left turned on for best results. Apparently, it can take as long as a week to reach peak audio quality. That may put it out of bounds for the environmentally conscious. Leaving your PlayStation on for long lengths of time will also put strain on already ancient hardware. I know there are a lot of original Nintendo consoles that still soldier on, but I doubt many were left on for weeks or months at a time. If you get hooked on the PlayStation's sound quality, it may be a piece of hardware you'll need to replace often.
Luckily, these devices are pretty cheap. At least three were available on eBay at the time of this writing, and none cost more than $22.99. That is a phenomenal price for the sound quality they afford — to say nothing of the shock value for your audiophile friends.
Record players
Why they're great: Even better fidelity. No matter how great your PlayStation sounds, it will never achieve sound quality of a good, clean vinyl record played on a quality system.
The problem is that CDs are digital media. Vinyl records are analog. Without getting into the details, analog media preserve sound as a contiguous analog wave. This is more similar to the way that sounds exist in reality than digital media, which instead preserve sound in a way that resembles a series of steps. The original analog wave is sliced into extremely small segments, and each of those segments is represented by a number. During playback, the sequence of these numbers then reconstructs a waveform similar to the original sound. No matter how finely the original audio is sliced, however, the digital representation will never be quite the same as the original analog wave. If you want access to even greater audio fidelity, you will have to look to vinyl.
This could mean buying a record player. You have many options. Vintage turntables can be highly desirable. Both Sound and Vision Mag and Turntable Kitchen have suggested models to keep an eye out for. Don't shy from contemporary models, though. The New York Times recently suggested several, in addition to providing a host of other tips for new fans of vinyl. Additionally, Stereophile.com offers reviews of many other recent releases.
Tape cassette player
Why they're great: Access and cachet. You might be surprised how much excellent music is being released on cassette tape these days. In Portland alone, Apes Tapes, Eggy Records, and Gnar Tapes all release new cassette tapes on a regular basis. Many of these tapes are extremely affordable. Take, for example, the And And And / Woolen Men Split Tape from Apes Tapes, which costs just $5 and contains full-length releases from two of the best bands in Portland. These tapes can also be exceedingly rare. Those in the Gnar Tapes catalog are limited to 100 units, making each a collector's item for a small but dedicated group of tape devotees.
Cassette tapes are also, somehow, cooler than vinyl. This may be due to their exclusivity. Not only are indie tapes produced in very small quantities, but not many people have working cassette decks. This makes the ability to play tapes a mark of distinction. The current hipness of cassette also comes from the people running the tape labels. The operators of Apes Tapes, Eggy Records, and Gnar Tapes are key members of bands like Radiation City, The Woolen Men, and White Fang respectively (among others). While tapes may not have superior fidelity, their exclusivity and the small communities involved with making them can lead listeners to very interesting content.
If you want to pick up a tape deck, the Tapeheads.net Cassette forums look to be a great place to start your research.
Don't toss that tech
A computer from 1994 makes an interesting curio, but isn't as useful today as a record player, cassette deck, or even an original PlayStation. Though technology continues to advance in all sectors, vintage audio gear retains its utility in a way very different from other tech.
Maybe I should have held on to my MiniDisc player and Sir Mix-a-Lot tapes.

Terry could not believe it had happened. It did not seem real. She trembled as she sat in the waiting room of the rape trauma center. The previous night, she had been raped in her apartment by a man she had considered a friend. Like many other survivors of rape, Terry faced many decisions in the hours, days, and months following the rape.
Rape involves forced penetration or intercourse. It is one of many types of sexual assault. Sexual assault is any type of sexual activity that you do not want or agree to, ranging from inappropriate touching to penetration or intercourse. It includes:
- Rape
- Attempted rape
- Child molestation
- Sexual harassment
- Voyeurism
- Exhibitionism
- Incest
Sexual assault can happen in a number of different situations, such as date rape, domestic or intimate partner violence, or violence by a stranger.
If You Have Been Raped
The first step for you is to go to a safe place. Next, call the police to report the crime, if this is something you have decided to do. You should then call someone who you can trust, like a close family member or friend. There are also rape hotlines that you can call for support and guidance.
Remember that it is important that the evidence from the crime does not get ruined. Because of this, you will need to avoid:
- Taking a shower
- Cleaning any part of your body
- Combing your hair
- Changing your clothes
- Touching anything at the scene of the assault
Take care of yourself by going to the hospital. Many hospitals treat rape survivors without payment up front, even if they have no health insurance. You will be checked and treated for injuries, including internal injuries, as well as pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. This will likely involve blood tests and a pelvic exam and swab. During the exam, evidence will also be collected that may help identify the perpetrator, such as hairs, semen, saliva, clothing, and fibers.
Deciding Whether to Report the Rape
There are many decisions that come up after being sexually assaulted. One challenge is deciding whether you want to report the crime and seek prosecution. Counselors with experience working with people who have been sexually abused can help you to examine the pros and cons of reporting the rape.
You may choose to report the rape because you want the perpetrator to be punished and you want to protect others from being assaulted. Reporting the rape may also help you to feel more empowered and ease feelings of being a victim.
You may choose not to report the crime for a number of reasons, such as having been treated poorly by the police in the past or not feeling confident in the court system. Or, the perpetrator may have threatened to harm you or a loved one if the crime is reported. You may also feel a range of emotions, like guilt and shame, and decide that you do not want to further share this traumatic event with other people.
Dealing With the Effects
Rape is a traumatic event that can have a huge effect on your life. It is common to feel confused, fearful, guilty, numb, hostile, or tearful. You may feel like withdrawing from others. You may have difficulty concentrating, making decisions, and sleeping. It may be hard for you to talk about what happened.
During the first few months after the rape, you may experience the following behaviors and symptoms:
- Self-protective behaviors, such as changing your telephone number or moving to a new residence
- Nightmares, particularly about the rape
Developing phobias, such as:
- Fear of being indoors or outdoors depending on where the rape took place
- Fear of being alone
- Fear of crowds
- Fear of being followed
- Sexual fears
- Having problems in relationships, especially with your partner
- Having physical symptoms such as headaches, insomnia, or loss of appetite
In some cases, the emotional impact of a rape can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This is an anxiety disorder characterized by recurrent nightmares, flashbacks of the rape, social withdrawal, anxiety, depression, and emotional numbness. There are different types of therapy and prescription medications that can be part of a treatment program for PTSD.
Moving Toward Recovery
Recovering from rape can be a long and difficult process. Be patient with yourself. Each person has a different way of coping and healing. Some people want to carry on with their routine. Others find it helpful to take time off from work and other responsibilities. Here are some things you can do to help yourself heal.
Seek support from people who can offer comfort without blame or control. It is good to have a mix of people who can support you in various ways. For example, some people are better than others at dealing with intense emotions. Others may be good at the more practical things, like watching your kids while you go to an appointment.
A rape crisis center can be a good source of support for you. These centers usually have a hotline that you can call for information and guidance. Depending on the agency, you may also have access to individual therapy, support groups, and advocacy. Another option is to get a referral to a therapist who has experience working with people who have been sexually assaulted. Since being raped can trigger a range of difficult emotions, it is important that you talk to a counselor who can help you find ways to recover.
Most communities have support groups for victims of sexual assault. These groups help break down the isolation, secrecy, and shame felt by many victims. Members of the group are at different stages of healing. They share their experiences, coping strategies, and progress.
Recovery from rape can be a slow process. You may find that the rape has permanently changed your life in some ways. As you go through the stages of recovery, you will find that, in time, you think less and less about the rape. It will no longer dominate your emotions. As you set goals and achieve them, your life will eventually move forward.

Wells' impact for Yankees difficult to define
Outfielder's production dipped with Angels, may bloom again in Bronx
TAMPA, Fla. -- Vernon Wells might make the Yankees better, and after waves of bad news, it's at least a step in the right direction. He's a consummate professional and one of the most likable guys in baseball. In a different place and time, he might be a nice addition.
He's exactly the type of player who could find a comfort zone on a contending team. In similar situations, others have been invigorated by the environment and reborn by the lineup. That could be exactly what happened to Ichiro Suzuki after the Yankees acquired him last summer.
At this place and time, though, Wells is a puzzling move for the Yankees because even at a discounted price -- estimated to be between $5 million and $7 million each of the next two seasons -- he's no bargain.
At 34, he has struggled mightily during two years with the Angels, hitting a combined .222 with a .667 OPS. Last season, he batted .232 against right-handed pitching, .227 against lefties.
He might not even be an upgrade over Brennan Boesch, who has been penciled in to play left field for the Yankees. Boesch is seven years younger than Wells and has significantly better numbers the past two seasons: a .261 batting average and .726 OPS.
However, Boesch's decline has been dramatic. He was very solid in 2011 (.799 OPS) and not very good in 2012 (.659 OPS). The Tigers let him go this spring because they hadn't seen enough improvement.
The Yankees took a chance on him, and just when he seemed likely to be in the Opening Day lineup, he pulled a muscle in his side and may not even be available. His absence would put Ben Francisco in left. He, too, had better numbers than Wells the past two seasons.
Francisco has been with five organizations the last nine months, and given Wells' ability to play all three outfield spots well, he's a gamble worth taking unless the financial commitment keeps the Yankees from making a more significant move.
In the end, the Yankees probably are going to get better only if Derek Jeter, Curtis Granderson, Mark Teixeira and maybe even Alex Rodriguez get healthy and contribute this season.
At the moment, the Yankees believe Granderson will be back sometime in May. As for the other three, there's no way to know when they'll be back or how they'll play.
And now for a defense of the organization. The Yankees are going to be torched over the next few days for spending money now when they declined to spend it this offseason.
That's not fair. Had they known that A-Rod, Jeter, Granderson and Teixeira would all be on the disabled list on Opening Day, the Yankees' offseason might have been different.
Otherwise, they did everything they said they would do. They declined to get into bidding wars for Nick Swisher and Russell Martin and decided not to match the deals Raul Ibanez and Eric Chavez got with the Mariners and D-backs, respectively.
Their blueprint was sound until players started going down. Now they're in a nearly desperate situation, which has led them to acquiring Wells.
Things can still change quickly. Inside the organization, there's optimism that some of their best young talent -- including highly rated prospects Mason Williams and Tyler Austin -- will take big steps toward the Major Leagues this season.
They could end up being trade assets or part of a larger roster overhaul. Relying on them is a different way of doing business, but it's also the plan general manager Brian Cashman laid out more than a year ago because ownership wants him to have the payroll under $189 million by Opening Day 2014.
Given all the franchise's resources to spend on scouting and the Draft and on player development, there's no reason the Yankees can't still compete at the highest levels.
If $189 million doesn't buy a winner, then the organization has problems that have nothing to do with spending. For now, though, almost everything bad that can happen to a franchise has happened to the Yankees. Wells may not save this season, but he's not going to make things worse. All things considered, that's progress.

"I wish we had begun our website design with Entheos years ago…our old website was a basic template design and did not have many customizable options. The website looked dated and so boring to look at that I had not updated it in over a year. After completing our project with Entheos, I am finally proud to direct people to our website and we are hearing good things about our current site. Appointments are up and we have a lot more content on the site explaining our services and discounts. The team has always been patient and more than willing to do whatever we asked. Our business is fortunate to have worked with such a fine design team, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking to enhance their web presence… Many thanks…"

Amazon earnings disappoint, Juniper opens OpenFlow
Amazon's third quarter earnings disappointed almost everyone, and the fact that there were so many different views about just what was disappointing makes it all the more challenging to analyze. Many said the profit picture was the problem; Amazon's margins have been thin historically, and the Street wanted proof that they'd fatten up. They didn't get it. Others in the Street said that their revenue was light; they could have forgiven smaller margins if revenues were up. Probably the combination was the real problem: Weak revenue guidance for the holidays combined with a clear indication that build-out in EC2 and the cost of the Kindle Fire would be a problem for the bottom line.
Underneath this is the fact that Amazon has been a challenge for the Street. They're the drop-dead winner of the online retail game. They're the largest single provider of cloud computing today. They now have what is arguably the second-best tablet and the Android leader. But they've never really generated the profit that would normally be demanded of any company, and in terms of stock performance they've outrun even Apple this year. The Street clearly thinks they have momentum (which is key in the way traders make decisions) and yet…
The big question here may be the cloud. Amazon's cloud lead, as I've noted before, is somewhat illusory. Continued »
What's up, what's down: Oracle pushes into cloud CRM, hardware investments languish
Some things are up, some are down, I guess. That seems to be true with regard to tech signals this morning, anyway. Oracle is buying RightNow, a CRM cloud player, and the Street is reporting issues with hardware sales, both in the service provider and enterprise spaces.
The RightNow buy is interesting in a couple of dimensions. First, it shows that Oracle really wants a presence — a major retail-level presence — in the cloud. The company has been a provider of all sorts of interesting cloud tools and it made a recent push for the cloud in OpenWorld, but this deal is a here-and-now move with a big investment behind it. Second, the move shows that CRM may be a very critical app for the evolution of cloud relationships with users.
We're kind of past the early hype days of the cloud, and Oracle likely now realizes that players like Microsoft and IBM have a more established position in the PaaS and SaaS models of the cloud, where I think all the indicators say the real action will be. Part of the problem with being only a tool player is that you have no play in potential service revenues, but the real problem is that you have no tools to transition users or operators into installing your tools. You need to be a cloud services player if you're a cloud infrastructure player.
Salesforce may be the target of the second motive, or just "collateral damage." CRM is an application that lends itself to SaaS because it's largely contained; it doesn't have an impact on the big mission-critical core apps. That makes it easy to consume, and that means that Salesforce gets a lot of early adopter opportunity. You could see that in their numbers this quarter. So, this early lead could be a long-term problem for Oracle if Salesforce starts branching out into more and more stuff—which it has. I don't think Oracle thinks that cloud CRM in itself will keep the lights on, but it does likely think that it's a camel's nose that it doesn't want someone else sticking under an Oracle customer's tent.
On the hardware front, the Street is now saying that both AT&T and Verizon will be under-spending in Q4, with (no surprise) wireless less a problem than wireline. Operators have to show a profit like every other public corporation, and there is increased pressure on ROI for infrastructure, particularly with wireline. The quarterly reports from both AT&T and Verizon suggested that you can't make wireline work unless you can deliver multi-channel TV because people won't pay for premium broadband even if you can deliver it. I think it's pretty clear that operators are looking to shift more capex out of network equipment and into IT equipment, both to host "cloud services" and to host service features. This is what network equipment vendors should have been working to avoid for the last four years, but they didn't really start picking up on the shift until this year. I've seen a LOT of progress among the equipment vendors in positioning their service-layer offerings, targeting not only content and mobile but also the cloud in general. But "a lot" isn't enough because the momentum away from 'thinking of network vendors as service partners' has become pretty strong.
Clouds and on-ramps: Tying cloud services to the devices, networks
HP is now "officially" reviewing its decision to shed its PC unit, and I've got to admit that I'm not convinced here. As I've blogged before, the PC market is commoditized very thoroughly and there are few indicators that it's in any way symbiotic with the server and data center software spaces. IBM, the poster-child for success in the tech business, shed their PC business long ago. Why does HP believe it can justify retaining it now? Especially given that they've discredited the whole line to a degree with their earlier decision to spin it out?
The only way HP can recover from this is to articulate some brilliant strategy that creates a cloud ecosystem that includes the PC, and I wonder whether it's capable of something that radical, or even whether such a positioning could be articulated at all from the PC side. Apple, which has its own set of announcements in the cloud space, would have the pizazz to make a cloud appliance move, but that's because Apple has differentiable brand power behind its appliances. Google could do the same. HP? Come on!
The Apple iOS 5 and iCloud launch today, and while frankly neither are particularly revolutionary, they are still credible steps toward what might turn out to be a revolution. The iCloud mission seems now to be one of creating "unity" among the iOS devices, meaning to create a virtual iOS umbrella that covers everything Apple and essentially makes iOS a virtual operating system (OS) residing in part in every appliance and also in the cloud. What Apple has not yet done, but that I'm confident it will do, is to realize the potential of that model with services beyond collective iOS chatting.
We could call what's likely to emerge from the Apple/Google/Microsoft dynamic "social communications," but it's also arguably the first step toward network-supported behavior modification, something that's going to unite identity, location-based services (LBS), demography, buying/shopping behavior, advertising and promotion, and a bunch of other things. Why? Because it creates a kind of parallel universe in (dare I use the cliché) cyberspace where our alter egos have electronic tools and systemic knowledge they share with the real us through our appliances. That's the end-game for everybody.
Looking at, and through, clouds: A check of key vendors' cloud strategies
There are signs that the networking industry is doing a bit more weaving and bobbing as it looks for a position that sustains revenue and profit growth. One big item is the story that Sony is going to buy Ericsson out of their longstanding handset partnership. The deal here, as the story goes, is that Sony wants to spread its technology across its whole line of appliances, from phones to game systems, and get considerably more aggressive in the market. I'm told that Ericsson has not been excited about either of these points; conservatism has always been Ericsson's weakness, in my view.
Sony is right in this case. Apple has demonstrated that the notion of a separate smartphone/tablet/game system market is unlikely to prevail in the real world. What's really happening is that there's an appliance market that shows (at the moment) three distinct faces. Some users will accept them all, and others will gravitate to one of the group, depending on how they balance the various applications and issues. The point is that it's likely that all of these appliances will have a feature base in common, and that symbiosis among the devices will be important for players who want to keep multifaceted buyers in the vendor's product domain.
This is also reflective of what Apple needs to deal with now, in the world it created. Things like televisions are clearly going to join the appliance ecosystem, and other stuff probably will, too. But what's going to matter more is the experience that can be delivered through all this stuff, not the exact boundaries of the "stuff space." Apple TV isn't important except as a member of the Apple Ecosystem, and fleshing out that ecosystem is a job for cloud-hosted features, something that Apple is yet to demonstrate it grasps.
But then, Google hasn't demonstrated that, either. Only Amazon so far has any cloud reality — and even there it's not completely clear that they have a strategy or whether they just stumbled into a couple of gold coins from a pirate horde. Can they find the rest of the loot? We'll see. Continued »
Steve's legacy: Don't lose sight of the service layer
There's no way that any blogger in technology could not, today, offer a tribute to the greatest innovator that the technology industry has ever known. Steve Jobs was a true giant in a world of pretenders, a man who understood the technology and buyer sides of the coin when others simply flipped it. His genius was to drive the market and not just respond to it, which made him all the more a standout at a time when it's hard to find companies that can even keep up with change. Steve produced it, and loved that role.
Apple — and Steve — gave us the current market revolution. By marrying portable power with ubiquitous broadband he ushered in a new era where the average teen can have, literally at their fingertips, computing power that dwarfs what was the world's computational supply just a few years ago. We've yet to see where this can take us, and I'm personally saddened that we're not going to have Steve to help guide us in the journey.
The Carrier Cloud Forum at Interop New York this week is grappling with some of the issues that Steve Jobs created. Appliances demand back-end services to support them, and the way those services are created and the identity of those who offer them may well be one of the major issues in networking. I've noted that operators in my surveys have been steadily promoting the cloud services opportunity among the monetization projects they have been running, and it looks like it could be the top of the list this fall. It's not that the cloud offers operators the largest opportunity — mobile/behavioral services and content both outstrip it — but cloud infrastructure is what's likely to host those content services and mobile/behavioral services. Appliances have coalesced all of the opportunities of the future into one delivery point—what the user is holding. The cloud coalesces all the technology options into one, admittedly fuzzy, vision.
I think CCF demonstrates that we're still shadowboxing with the issues, though. The fundamental truths of cloud computing remain as they always have been. SaaS displaces the most cost and therefore offers the greatest benefit to buyers and profit to sellers. IaaS is the most flexible, but it presents both benefit-case and profit barriers to wide adoption. All the "-aaS's" will face a common issue of service- and application-level integration, which is something nobody is really looking at. That integration will likely set the pace for the question of how clouds and networks get along, because the general solution at the service layer would produce a flexible solution at the service/network boundary. We're not looking for this in the cloud computing space, but operators are looking at it in their own service-layer projects, which include both mobile/behavioral and content. Can all of this stuff be combined? Not yet.
More clouds, if that's possible!
Apple is expected to launch its iPhone 5 this week, and like all Apple events, this one is generating more than its share of speculation. It's like a red carpet event for the Apple aficionados, but rather than focus on that, I'd prefer to look at the industry implications of what's rumored to be happening.
First, the cloud. Amazon stole some considerable thunder from Apple with its Silk split-browser model because Amazon exploited a true cloud computing service to enhance a customer's service. That's the service layer model of the future. There are some indications that Apple will do more than just spin a "content hosting and sharing" model of the iCloud, including inter-iPhone messaging, but it's not clear that these offerings are going to be positioned as part of the cloud at all, which I think would be a further mistake on Apple's part. Amazon is a retailer, not a search giant, and thus a whole new kind of competition for Apple. They need to take these guys seriously.
Speaking of clouds, France Telecom has again said that the cloud is of critical importance to it and that it's looking hard at the union of IT and networking needed to create it. This fits with our general survey results: Operators are increasingly seeing the cloud as the thing that hosts the service layer and the thing that hosts specific cloud-computing services. The question is how the two get combined.
Kindle Fire launched as media cloud appliance with EC2 links, not mere tablet
Well, Amazon finally announced its tablet. The event itself might have offered some clues because Apple would have done this in the Superdome, and Amazon had something that looked more like a high-school auditorium.
Bezos set the tone for the launch with a long praise-fest for the Kindle and the ebook and e-ink concept. Then he jumped to talking about the Kindle Touch, which is an e-ink product that's an advance from the current Kindle but much more like Barnes & Noble's newest Nook model, a cross between a tablet and an e-reader, but much more the latter than the former. This new Kindle Touch has a $99 buck price point (for WiFi; $149 for 3G), which undercuts the new Nook.
But it's obvious that Bezos couldn't stop there. Ten thousand or more media and PC analysts would likely have stormed his castle and burned him alive. After blowing Android Kisses, then touting new media and app stores and Amazon Prime and even EC2, he finally got to the point. The future is media and cloud service offerings! It's Kindle Fire. It's not a tablet, but a Media Cloud Appliance!
Let's come back to earth for a moment for the specs. Fire will have a dual-core processor and a seven-inch screen, making it a less-than-iPad right there. The announcement is likely to be disappointing to many who had expected Amazon to field an iPad-like product for about the same price as the HP TouchPad sold at "after-the-market-exit" fire sale. Yes, that would have been wonderful, but as my readers know, I've never believed for a minute that was Amazon's intent, and clearly it was not. Continued »
The new IT and the new network: Stand or fall in the cloud
Well, Meg Whitman now has the responsibility for making the right move at HP, and frankly I'm not encouraged by some of her early comments. The only thing that seems to be on the table, of all the changes that brought down Leo Apokether's reign there, is the fate of the PC business. That may well be the only thing that was a smart move. What HP has to avoid above all is business as usual, and the second-greatest risk is looking indecisive. With one chance to get it right, Whitman seems to be getting it wrong.
PCs haven't been a great business for years now, simply because consumerism has driven down the prices and tipped the scales of innovation to the software side. The hardware platforms are all basically the same, no matter what Mac aficionados think; it's the operating system and software that matters. Even there, price pressures are formidable. Now with the onrush of tablets, we're seeing the web-client dimension of PC use vanish, and with it likely even more of the profits.
HP's problem was that it didn't see the tablet shift coming, not that it needed to be more of a software player. The thing that HP needed was a cloud vision, a vision of a future of network-connected appliances that could marshal a lot of power and knowledge and focus it on something a user was carrying around in a pocket, briefcase, or purse. Yes, software is an element of that, but it's not all of it.
I've learned by talking to users worldwide that everyone understands the pieces of the cloud, but it's the cloud as a conceptual whole that they don't quite get. As a whole, the cloud is the notion of a new ecosystem with new relationships, new value focus points, etc. HP might have shown us that conceptual whole, by dumping PCs and focusing on the cloud. Instead HP dumped PCs and dumped the cloud too, and Whitman is proposing to rethink the dumping PCs part. Maybe she thinks that's best now because it's too late to get the cloud back, but it's not going to work.
There's a lesson here in the networking side. The cloud is a symbol of the new age of communications-connected intelligence, the age that empowers every client because it's connected to every possible service. This is an age that networking has created; one that's not generating value to networking in proportion to its contribution. That's because network executives have been just as blind, dare we say as dumb, as HP was. The cloud should have been their vision, but they were simply not agile enough to grasp it.
Networking companies recognized, as HP did, that somehow software was involved in the solution, but they never realized that just as "hardware" encompasses both mainframes and smartphones, doorknobs and drawer pulls, "software" means too many things to be a useful goal. "Serviceware" or "cloudware" was needed, and that's middleware software built on the cloud model.
Another tie here is that HP is now terribly wounded, perhaps even fatally, and this pulls a major competitor off the field in terms of data center competition. HP might have been a leader here, and that's going to be very hard to achieve in the current situation. Autonomy is the wrong software; rethinking a PC spin-off is the wrong decision. Nobody could benefit here as much as Cisco, who has been punching out at competitors with edgy marketing because it needs to recover its own position.
The problem is that to succeed, Cisco still has to face and address the reality that HP didn't face—the cloud. There is no enterprise on this planet, no network operator, that isn't a potential buyer or seller of cloud services. I've seen this proven in major markets and emerging markets. The cloud is the symbol of the new IT, the new network. You stand or fall—in the cloud.
Cloud sweeps the field in new survey, while benefits questions arise
I sent out the survey material for our fall strategy sweep, and as usual I asked both service providers and enterprises to respond quickly with the answers to the following questions; "What's the hottest network issue", "What's your biggest surprise?" and "What's your biggest concern." The answers were quite interesting.
The hottest issue for both enterprises and service providers was "the cloud" by a large margin, larger in fact than prior surveys. In my own view, the broad fascination with the cloud is more than just the typical response to media hype. I's a reflection of the fact that cloud computing is an explicit marriage of a lot of technology trends, a kind of IT Unified Field Theory. Enterprises, in particular, need some strategic mantra to drive their project spending, some way of linking change to benefits, and "the cloud" seems to be even more favored in that role with each passing quarter.
The "biggest surprise" was a bit of a surprise to me. Both enterprises and service providers said that "the technical and business aspects of cloud computing are not what we expected". While I knew from prior surveys that there was a considerable shift in enterprise attitude about the cloud as companies advanced the state of their own cloud planning, I wasn't sure that the enterprises themselves saw this change. It was also interesting that enterprises listed "failure of the benefit case to prove out in our cloud projects" as a "biggest concern" enough times to give that issue the top spot among the technology responses.

What's really behind Apple TV, and how it relates to Netflix/Qwikster
Apple is always a wonderful target for rumors, and the current one is that the company is getting into the TV business for real, launching not only a service but a line of TV sets that would link to it. The idea has the media agog, of course, but no matter who is supposed to be fielding streaming substitutes for channelized TV, there are formidable issues involved, both technical and non-technical. So far, there's no indication that Apple is dealing with any of them.
The first technical problem is that about a quarter of U.S. households couldn't receive HDTV streaming properly because their Internet connection is too slow. That means that to save money by cutting the cord, they'd actually have to spend more money. And there's no guarantee that it would work for them anyway, because many broadband users streaming video at one time could congest networks. Users could also get whacked with usage-over-cap charges if they watched a lot of TV. Continued »

All things considered, Facebook is a wonderful innovation. Like it or loathe it, it will certainly be around for quite some time yet. It has set itself up as a social hub: we can see photos of ourselves and our friends, we can email our friends, we can play games with them, we can instant-message them, we can send them gifts (although if any friend of mine ever sent an electronic gift – or e-card, for that matter – I'd strike them out of my address book), and we can organise events through Facebook. It's this last one that can easily rile me.
For the benefit of non-Facebook users, let me quickly explain what exactly happens. Any user can invite friends to an event; on the event page they can list the time, place, date, and any other instructions for guests. Invited guests will see the invitation to said event when they log into their Facebook profile. Guests are then given three options as to how they wish to reply: Attending, Not Attending, or Maybe Attending. It is this last one that drives me mad.
I used to send out nice stiff white card invitations to my guests for my parties, but due to the cost of doing them for every party and the fact that a majority of modern guests wouldn't know what on earth to do with such an invitation, I decided to concede and use Facebook to invite people to my events. To be fair, it works a treat. But when I have guests that respond that they 'maybe attending' I hit the roof. In my opinion, you are either attending or you are not. Called me old fashioned but when I am invited to an event I get out my diary, see if I am doing anything already on that date and if I am not, then I respond saying I can do; if I am busy, I respond saying I unfortunately cannot. This conditional clause of 'maybe' seems to be designed for the socially far-too-busy. Some of my guests (who have subsequently been struck off my party guest-list) put 'maybe' because they are clearly thinking 'well, I shall go if I don't have anything else better to do that night', which is just rude.
People should make the effort, and decide whether they are going or not instead of floundering around in this new middle ground. If a host were going to the effort of putting on a party (probably with food and drink) for guests then said host would quite like to know for how many people they are catering.
You can see this clearly winds me up, and I do wish Facebook would remove the function. It is intrinsically bad mannered.
I am off for a lie down now.

Rabies infections in people are rare in the United States. However, worldwide about 50,000 people die from rabies each year, mostly in developing countries where programs for vaccinating dogs against rabies don't exist. But the good news is that problems can be prevented if the exposed person receives treatment before symptoms of the infection develop.
Rabies is a virus that in the U.S. is usually transmitted by a bite from a wild infected animal, such as a bat, raccoon, skunk, or fox. If a bite from a rabid animal goes untreated and rabies develops, it is almost always fatal.
If you suspect that your child has been bitten by a rabid animal, go to the emergency department immediately. Any animal bites — even those that don't involve rabies — can lead to infections and other medical problems. As a precaution, call your doctor any time your child has been bitten.
About 7,000 cases of rabies in animals are reported each year to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Raccoons are the most common carriers of rabies in the United States, but bats are most likely to infect people. Almost three quarters of rabies cases between 1990 and 2001 came from contact with bats.
Skunks and foxes also can be infected with rabies, and a few cases have been reported in wolves, coyotes, bobcats, and ferrets. Small rodents such as hamsters, squirrels, chipmunks, mice, and rabbits are very rarely infected with the virus.
Because of widespread vaccination programs in the United States, transmission from dogs to people is very rare. Outside the United States, exposure to rabid dogs is the most common cause of transmission to humans.
An infected animal has the rabies virus in its saliva and can transmit it to a person through biting. In rarer cases, an animal can spread the virus when its saliva comes in contact with a person's mucous membranes (moist skin surfaces, like the mouth or inner eyelids) or broken skin such as a cut, scratch, bruise, or open wound.
After a bite, the rabies virus can spread into surrounding muscle, then travel up nearby nerves to the brain. Once the virus reaches the brain, the infection is fatal in almost all cases.
The first symptoms can appear from a few days to more than a year after the bite occurs.
One of the most distinctive signs of a rabies infection is a tingling or twitching sensation around the area of the animal bite. It is often accompanied by a fever, headache, muscle aches, loss of appetite, nausea, and fatigue.
As the infection progresses, someone infected with rabies may develop any of these symptoms:
In the advanced stage of the infection, as it spreads to other parts of the nervous system, these symptoms may develop:
If your child has been bitten by an animal, take the following steps right away:
At the hospital, it is likely that the doctor will first clean the wound thoroughly and make sure that your child's tetanus immunizations are current.
To keep any potential infection from spreading, the doctor may decide to start treating your child right away with shots of human rabies immune globulin to the wound site and vaccine shots in the arm. This decision is usually based on the circumstances of the bite (provoked or unprovoked), the type of animal (species, wild or domestic), the animal's health history (vaccinated or not), and the recommendations of local health authorities.
You can reduce the chances that your family is exposed to rabies. Vaccinate your pets — dogs, cats, and ferrets can be infected by rabies. Report any stray animals to your local health authorities or animal-control officer. Remind kids that animals can be "strangers," too. They should never touch or feed stray cats or dogs wandering in the neighborhood or elsewhere.
As a precaution against rabies, call your doctor if:

Supplementation of certain nutrients, minerals, and vitamins is a common step to improving the health of mother and baby during pregnancy. It is well known that supplementation with folate, for example, lowers the risk of a baby developing neural tube defects. Many studies have recently looked at the effects of supplementation to prevent pre-eclampsia and its related adverse effects. Pre-eclampsia is a dangerous condition marked by high blood pressure and protein in the urine. It can lead to serious complications or death in mother and baby. The only cure is to deliver the baby. If the baby is not at term, the baby may need to be delivered prematurely. Prematurity can lead to health and developmental complications for infants.
Researchers from the Cochrane Database examined past studies to determine what, if any, association exists between calcium supplementation and a healthy pregnancy. The study found that calcium supplementation during pregnancy reduced the risk of pre-eclampsia, premature birth, maternal death, and other related serious problems.
About the Study
The study was a systematic review of 13 previous randomized trials. The trials evaluated calcium supplementation (at least one g/day) in a total of 15,370 pregnant women. Investigators found that calcium was associated with:
- Reduced risk of maternal death or other serious problems in an analysis of four studies
- Reduced risk of pre-eclampsia in an analysis of all 13 studies
- Reduced risk of premature births (birth before 37 weeks gestation) in an analysis of 11 studies
The greatest reduction in risk of pre-eclampsia or premature birth occurred with women who were at high risk for these complications.
How Does This Affect You?
The study was a systematic review, which takes a very particular approach to combining smaller, sometimes conflicting, studies to build stronger more reliable results. Not all study results could be combined, as studies differed in the results they collected, the women they recruited, and the supplement they gave. This combination of studies suggests that calcium supplementation is beneficial during pregnancy, especially among women at high risk and for women with low calcium intake. In addition, calcium was not associated with any harm.
Calcium supplementation is generally considered safe, easily accessible, and affordable. You can also improve dietary intake of calcium by including dairy products and leafy green vegetables in your diet. A balanced diet will help you get not only enough calcium, but a wide range of other nutrients and vitamins that will help you stay well and give your baby healthy building blocks. It is very important to talk to your doctor about supplements and dietary recommendations before conceiving and during pregnancy.

Palm Beach, FL – April 17, 2019 – The Executive Women of the Palm Beaches Foundation, Inc. hosted their 36th Annual Luncheon to honor women in leadership. Emmy Award winning foreign correspondent Lara Logan was the guest speaker for this special award ceremony, which brings together inspirational women in the private, public, nonprofit, and volunteer sectors of the community. The day celebrates and recognizes a select number of these women, and it awards the day's proceeds for educational scholarships for women who want to attend college and may not have the means to do so.
This year's event was held at the Kravis Center in Palm Beach, where founding members mingled with the younger generation of business women. Enjoying a three course lunch, the women discussed their line of work and many spoke of juggling family-life with careers. The master of ceremonies for the event was CB12 news anchor Liz Quirantes, who introduced the award winners. Each winner gave an account of their career and the trials and tribulations they had to overcome. It was fascinating to see and hear that the award recipients spanned a number of generations, all with a common thread: "Support one another, be kind and respectful and be determined."
Honorary chair Yvonne Boice delivered an inspirational speech stating, "As women we are expected to do it all and not be fearful. If you have never felt fear, you must not be human. I say analyze your fears, create a strategy and then a back up plan. Make sure you surround yourself with friends, mentors and advisors. We should not only discuss our failures and triumphs, but also our fears too."
The award winners included: Beth Walton (President and Chief Executive officer of Town of Palm Beach United Way), Elizabeth Hamma (Senior Vice President of Hubbard Radio Palm Beach), Mary Lerardi (a long time member of the community and volunteer for numerous non profits), and Dr. Lisa Williams-Taylor (CEO at Children's Services Council County). All delivered heartfelt and inspirational speeches, reflecting on their personal and career histories.
Lara Logan delivered an incredibly powerful speech that left a number of the audience humbled, appreciative, and even tearful. She shared incredible stories from her assignment in war zones, to her childhood memories. A mother of three, she feels very strongly about fighting for what you believe in and staying true to yourself, emphasizing, "I was raised by a very strong woman who constantly inspires me even though she died seventeen years ago. Even now when I have been through some tough times, she is the strength that I hold on to, a pillar in my life. My feet are so firmly planted in reality due to the house I grew up in. I was raised to know who I am, what I stand for, and we always knew that we were loved. I always think of that when I travel, and it's one of the main reasons I have been able to do the work that I have done, for as long as I have."
After hearing incredible stories from the award winners, founding members, the honorary chair and Lara Logan, many women in the audience felt a wave of determination and enthusiasm. Acknowledging that being a woman and succeeding is not just an issue of gender, but life stories, a truth and a belief that we all have within us.

Smaller spaces tucked away in the inner recesses of the home, the bathroom is the perfect place to release your inner artist and go a little design happy. With almost every surface up for grabs in terms of tiling, choosing can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. It is important to consider both the function of the bathroom as well as and the aesthetics, so that the end result is as pretty as it is practical.
Bathroom Floor Tile: your bathroom tile is definitely going to get wet, and things can get slippery fast. Choose textured materials or small tiles with lots of grout joints for traction to ensure that the floor remains slip resistant. Whether you opt to make the floor a focal point or use it as a thread to keep the room together, Glass Tile Oasis has the tile for the project.
Bathroom Wall Tile: while you might want to keep things traditional and play it safe in the rest of the house, the bathroom walls are an excellent place to shake things up a bit. Choose one statement wall or go wild with all four, and be it with an intricate glass mosaic, a decorative slab of stone, stainless steel staggered in sizes, or some ceramics played up for a pop of color- work those walls until you achieve the wow factor.
Shower Tile: the tiles on the walls of the shower are both an important element in the décor of the room, and serve as protection against moisture for the drywall underneath. Choose your shower tiles with both functions in mind, taking the actual feel of the tile into consideration as well. Always opt for small tiles when dealing with a curved space, but going jumbo in the shower can open up the room considerably and make a glass tile shower feel larger than it actually is.
Things to consider when choosing bathroom tiles:
Maintenance: bathrooms are constantly exposed to moisture and need to be cleaned on a regular basis. Any tile that requires special treatment is out of the running. A general rule of thumb to bear in mind: A smaller tile equals more grout which in turn equals harder to clean.
Glass Tiles: are considered the crème de la crème when it comes to bathroom surfaces, and are available in an infinite variety of colors, shapes, textures and finishes. Gleaming glass will illuminate the bathroom in wonderful hues and is ideal for the walls, floor, bathtub surround, or just an accent.
Natural Stone: wins the award in terms of durability and textured stone in neutral tones makes for a magnificent bathroom tile. Complete the look with a tumbled pebble tile for that natural rustic feel.
Metallic Tiles: While not what you would necessarily expect to see in the shower, metallic tiles are a hip and to the minute trend that is as sophisticated as it is sleek. Infuse your bathroom with a modern statement or work it in as a complement or accent.
Ceramic Tiles: lauded for its versatility and function, the ceramic tile offers bang for its buck. Hard working but easy to clean, they available in a plethora of shapes sizes and styles, and work well on any bathroom surface.
Color: While the bathroom is the perfect place to express color confidence, there still are points to consider. Unless the room has a significant amount of natural lighting avoid going too dark, or you will find it difficult to do things like put on makeup and shave. Also avoid any tones you would not like to see reflected on your face in the morning like say a delicate shade of green.
Glass Tile Oasis has the tile to meet your décor needs no matter your taste style or budget.
