Functionally adequate but UI needs improvement
Sam L.
Comentarios: The functionality is there for the most part and I really want to love Wrike, but the user interface is simply not as polished as some other major competitors (Monday, Asana, etc.). This hurts the user experience quite a bit.
Puntos a favor:
• The ability to view my projects and tasks in several views (list, table, kanban board, Gantt, etc.)
• The easy report builder
• The ability to have projects and tasks show up in multiple locations is fantastic. This means that projects and tasks aren't confined to only "live" in the location they were created. They can be displayed in multiple locations at once allowing different contributors and stakeholders to have access to the same items simultaneously without having to duplicate them. This was a big reason why I went with Wrike. Few other competitors have this architecture.
• The ability to add stakeholders without having it count towards your purchased user licenses. Wrike is a pricy platform so this definitely brings the cost down a litte.
• UI needs a lot of improvement:
- I should, at a glance, be able to immediately tell the difference between a folder, a project, and a task in every view that is available. Currently, they just blend together and it is very difficult to see any separation between these three items (in for example the Table view). This is THE biggest point of annoyance for me with Wrike. Other competitors in this price class have very clear visual interfaces with visually distinct screen elements. Adding an icon or other visual indicator to each item type would solve this very easily.
• The fact that the folder pane doesn't show in the List view by default when clicking a folder makes it difficult to provide folder information to a team. They simply won't know that a folder contains information unless they deliberately check. This is a big miss.
• The folder/project/task panel should be easier to open and close. The fact that I have to go into a submenu to close the panel is ridiculous. This seems like a small detail but UX/UI design issues like this can really drag down the user experience.
• Also, I should be able to do bulk changes from the Table view and not just the List view. These views are different enough to where this is an issue.
• Review and approval add-on feature is an almost necessary feature for creatives but way too expensive as an add-on. Wrike is already a pricy platform. These add-on costs feel very greedy.

Wrike truly delivers on its promise
Prince G.
Comentarios: Overall is simply one of the best team management and projects software out there in the market, even when you compare it to its peers and its competitors it holds its own, it simply does the job it needs to do and sometimes it does more in value considering the price. I'm futuristically it is a software to look out for because if it keeps improving the way it has done in the last two years I think he's going to just be an A+ software soon rather than later
Puntos a favor: For what is what Wrike has improved the way our team works, in fact, to put it simply he can simply change our level of efficiency. As a member of a team under a small business, we usually used to outsource team projects two other companies that will oversee how our team is working on projects and that used to accrued extra cost to a business that already struggling to compete and make it in the marketplace. But on discovering Wrike we were able to do things better, do things within the confines of the company overview and also save cost why being more efficient in all projects. It has helped reduce miscommunication, misinterpretation and common mistakes between team members have brought about more transparency and a better understanding amongst team members. Another thing I personally like is the fact that it is web-based and I can log in to assess what the team is doing, I can also send out weekly notification reports which come in handy whenever you're managing any projects, also the fact that I'm able to create custom folders and even subfolders, task, and subtasks, add users and include due dates is perfect for anyone who's trying to manage a project. I think it is a one-stop-shop for anything project management, and that's how much it has revolutionized the way we do business.
Contras: One of the challenges I face with Wrike is the fact that it is not really easy to set up. In our today's business environment where we are more in need of software and products that could assist us in being more effective such products being user-friendly both at setting up and during operation must be given more consideration. I also feel that there should be an offline version so that users don't need to always connect to the internet to be able to use it effectively. Another thing is that it takes a little bit of time to get used to, so businesses that are planning to use Wrike it must give room for an adequate learning curve. And in all these little challenges are few things that can you get around with time.

Highly Recommend
Michelle K.
Comentarios: We have been able to get organized and store a ton of information in one place. This has also given us great insight as to what everyone's workloads are like. Even if not everything is in the program, you can still get a good idea of what they're up to or have time to work on. It's a great way to group your tasks and you can create custom dashboards to make it so you see important tasks and what needs to get done at a glance. Despite some of the quirks, I recommend it.
Puntos a favor: For the most part, I really like this product. It has allowed us to easily organize, group and assign projects to our team and really helped us get more organized. I like that it has a nice, simple look with lists. It is easy to create a task and assign it to yourself or someone else, set dates, change priorities, add attachments, links, format text in your task description, and group them into folders. I also like that you can put the same tasks in different locations so, if it applies to 2 different categories, then it can live in both places. It is also great that you can set it up so that certain tasks set their dates according to other task dates.
Contras: There are some features that would really make this a great product and whenever I have contacted support, they basically try to upsell us to a different level plan that still doesn't solve the problem we're having. One thing that's funny is that it will gladly notify you when someone has assigned a task to you... but if you assign a task to someone and they mark it complete... it won't tell you. It'll wait until all the sub tasks are complete and then tell you after a certain period of time that you can mark the task complete. This has literally NEVER been useful to me. It also has a funky set up when it comes to grouping related tasks underneath another tasks so you have to play around with a set up that works for you. Lastly, they have a desktop app that they always prompt you to use when you click links to Wrike in other locations like your email. The app was just another thing I had to have open that did not help with my programs and it doesn't seem to allow you to not receive that notification each time you click a Wrike link.

Brought sanity and transparency to our work
Jessa D.
Puntos a favor: I choose Wrike specifically for the ability to submit project requests. 99% of our projects have to go through some sort of compliance approval, and auditing through a bunch of emails and folders that hopefully had everything was a recipe for disaster. Wrike allows us to have reporting and automatically assign tasks It's incredibly, almost overwhelmingly customizable, so I can have my own workflows to manage website issues while print projects can have their own process, etc, and these templates are automatically assigned, filled out, and dated when the requester fills out the form. The dashboards are nice so you can customize how you want to view your projects, and you can also monitor your team's projects to make sure everything is moving along, and easily step in and request help. Another pro is the collaborator user role, so coworkers not in our department can track, comment, and answer questions within tasks without seeing the other projects, and all of their communication is attached to the project and on record for everyone, including compliance, and not just trapped in one person's email.
Contras: Set up is daunting. Although we paid for someone to help us set up the process, we quickly realized that their orientation instructions weren't suited for our situation at all, so it took a few weeks for us to get everything into place. And I don't think our situation was particularly unusual, we're an in-house marketing department that needed to accept tickets. While Wrike is really good about constantly releasing updates, there are some common sense things that have yet to be ironed out, for example, someone requesting a project can set a due date in the past.

Wrike: A Great Tool for Small Teams (probably big teams too!)
Nicole H.
Comentarios: We're a small team of about 15 employees and were originally hesitant to bring on a project management software since email seemed to be working alright for our needs but after realizing things were getting lost in the shuffle, we decided to try Wrike out. I'm so glad we did. We've been using them for about three years and it's really helped us move forward in project planning and scoping. Right off the bat, Wrike held a training for our company. They did an in-depth training for those of us who were looking to learn the application inside/out and an overall training for the rest of the team. Sure, lots of people do training but then they followed up about 30 days later to uncover what we felt was lacking. From there they did a second training where they helped us customize our work space. I thought that was a really nice touch. Currently we use Wrike to manage internal and external team hours, create project scoping timelines, uncover potential roadblocks and to get everyone on the same page about changes/updates/etc. It's a great tool. One of my favorite features is that you can print individualized reports for a person or print out the total hours by project. I'd love for Wrike to add more color and font customization options just because it's hard to see changes sometimes in the comment boxes. I'd also like to see more customization options for the interface for individual users. Overall, I'd recommend Wrike if you're looking to grow your business efficiency.
Puntos a favor:
Multiple chart options for displaying timelines
Easy comment buttons (can just reply to an email and everything is captured)
Ability to create custom folders and other set up features
Can grab a visual of a project in under 30 seconds
Customized reporting options
Contras: If you don't do the training up front or keep up with updates you can easily get lost. Wrike has some awesome features but you have to stay on your toes to take advantage of them.

Why do we need to give our attention for this App?
Andrei P.
Comentarios: Wrike is my favourite Saas decision for my work and personal life. I have two accounts - one is for personal GTD and the second is for my teams, where I do my tasks, even if in reality there are no people in these projects - just for self-registration of completed tasks. - What are the features you like most in Wrike? 1. A flexibility of projecting regimes - you can do it under waterfall, or kanban (boards), or even scrum . 2. A flexibility of tasks views. 3. You can have a deal with numbers and a resource management inside your project management in Wrike. 4. http://club.wrike.com - a place where you can earn additional bonuses and a real money on amazon! 5. vote.wrike.com - a place where you can source the devs about new features and they usually respond! 6. wrike labs - a place where you can switch on/off the prototypical features - What are some of your favorite Wrike updates? Custom Statutes, Custom Fields, Reports, Dashboards/Boards - What would you add to Wrike features? Oh, there are many of them. A good normal integrated calendar, not a current one, a normal internal instant messenger, which will be a really instant - a current system of commentaries doesn't work properly with a really needed for a typical burst conversation without pressing f5, some lacks in the dashboards and widgets interface are needed to neutralized, a desktop client version is strongly needed, because chrome browser could have too many opened pages, including custom statuses feature in a professional plan is strongly needed for those who don't need the other functionality of a business version! - Who would take advantage of using Wrike? Pms, marketers, freelancers, small agile taskforces - How did Wrike change the way you work? I'm trying to register all my life in it from a moment

Aqsa Y.
Wrike privileged me with amazing project management software that helps in keeping a 3-
page layout that helps me in viewing data on the bigger screen. Moreover, this unique
product helps me by providing all the projects details on one certain page that helps me in
completing all the tasks with more ease. More specifically this application consists of
different pane so the left pane helps me in doing sub tasks as well. Moving ahead it enables
me to put things in different folders without any need of duplicating them. More
appropriately this application serves me through it's activity stream that gives a perfect view
of my tasks and also it can easily group my tasks accordingly. Furthermore, this application
has powerful analytics that helps me to easily create reports that could be use to share
progress. Moreover, it has a really useful performance chart that helps me to keep view of
all my tasks. Thus, this professional application is enough beneficial in keeping all my tasks
appropriately at one place.
Puntos a favor:
Different tasks can be managed through this application such as I can easily create global
reports on it that helps in showing all the tasks with a perfect view. Moreover, this particular
application allows me to plan everything by representing my data into a beautiful form of
charts and graphs. Moving ahead it helps me in creating sub tasks that are easy to complete
and also quite effective for the maintenance as well. More specifically this application helps
me to monitor all the updates in real time with basic features to timely feedback that
further provides an ease to properly manage all my projects. Moving ahead the dashboard
of the product is magnificent and also helps me in taking care of my all my projects with it's
amazing features that are easy to understand and also its really useful to comprehend
different tasks as well. Thus, this application is much more interesting that helps in easy
setup with no training that is helpful enough.
Apparently, each feature of this delicate product is quite useful and helpful as well. So, for
me there is nothing to worry for in this software only the notification system troubles
sometime by notifying me also for the useless notifications. Apart from this everything is so
much useful and demanding in order to make teamwork more efficient.

Wrike Project Management
Brian F.
Puntos a favor: Wrike has proven to be a capable tool for project management at our small company. It is very simple to create hierarchical structures for large projects, from major milestones down to minute tasks. Tasks can be easily linked as dependent, and assigning tasks and setting deadlines is very simple. It allows for constant monitoring of project tasks by stakeholders, and requesting updates from assignees. Files can be shared with data or results from various tasks, and being able to hit "complete" can help establish a sense of progress on large, multi-week or month projects. There are a number of ways to view the projects (like timelines and Gantt charts), which can help with communicating timelines to those interested, and also aids in identifying bottlenecks.
Contras: Adjusting timing within a project can be extremely difficult and/or tedious, and especially so when tasks are linked via dependencies. Moving some tasks can result in all other tasks resetting timing or decoupling. THis can be very frustrating, as with large projects even a one day adjustment can be tricky. Learning to use many of the features can take a while, and there are some quirks that can lead to confusion/miscommunications (like if someone fails to put a date for a task, it just sort of moves into purgatory). The number of alerts and communication can also get very unwieldy, and the ability to adjust them is limited (either no message or a huge number).

The Right Choice was Wrike
Comentarios: After using several different programs to track new products and customization projects, we have found Wrike to be a very efficient solution for our entire company. In Wrike, we are able to set up and assign tasks necessary to complete projects, we can project completion dates thanks to the gantt chart and are able to store vital information in such a way that it is easy to access in the future. Currently the e-Learning Content Department is the primary user of Wrike, but it is accessible by the management team, sales, engineering, and customer service which allows us to communicate and collaborate company wide.
Puntos a favor:
Gantt chart -- This helps with projects that are complex and require various tasks or phases to be completed in order to develop a final project. We simply could not plan product releases effectively without this!
Folders -- Organization is incredibly important when managing projects for several different facets (customer-driven, sales-driven, marketing-driven, etc) and the fact that I can manipulate and move projects into different folders helps me watch a project as it travels through our "workflow" from inception to delivery.
Tasks -- Not only developing unlimited tasks and sub-tasks with deadlines, but also being able to assign them to different people within our teams has allowed us to have a central point to work from. I highly appreciate the ability to duplicate folders with their included tasks as our workflow is often repeated for similar projects.
I would like to see different statuses saved in different folders. Instead, the status is changed and it affects all folders globally. This has caused me some confusion or irritation at times.
With sub-tasks, I find myself wishing that changing a tasks' deadline would also change the subtasks' deadlines. When I push things forward or backward with the Gantt chart, I then have to go into each subtask and adjust them as well. Sometimes, it seems easier to make everything tasks so I can use the cause/effect of dependencies.
Duration can be confusing at times given that sometimes a task will take a bit of time daily over several days, but not necessarily all day. Group several tasks like that together and planning resources becomes difficult because you cannot distinguish how much ACTUAL time on a given day is needed for a particular project. I find myself planning by dates and not durations. I think if there were a way to use these independently, that would be helpful.

Glad to Have Found Wrike
John T.
Comentarios: Keeping my entire project life in Wrike, and also linking to Evernote as my reference library (putting links in each project as needed), as well as Google Docs/Sheets - which are integrated right into Wrike. They also have a Zapier integration that's letting me add new Google Contacts right into a light CRM folder so I can follow up with them.
Puntos a favor: Very intuitive UI, allows me to work exactly the way I want. I tested/trialed a number of enterprise team collaboration product managers, which I was forced to do because I found the functionality of the task managers like Asana, To-Doist and others to be inadequate for my purposes. I'm also a David Allen GTD fan, so I am always looking for a way to incorporate that paradigm into my management tools. When the list manager I was using, NirvanaHQ, proved inadequate, despite its almost perfect GTD integration, I went on a search and found Wrike. Unique to Wrike is a drag/drop Folder/Project functionality that allows you to set up and nest projects inside folders to create a totally customizable working hierarchy. Whether you want to organize by client, by team member, by project, but function - however you want to do it - Wrike let's you set it up. But then, you can use any folder as a TAG by dragging and dropping it onto another Folder or Project. That way, you can instantly access projects and folders by pulling everything related to that Tag. Finally, Wrike lets you create Dashboards that lay out projects and tasks in infinite ways to make sure you are looking at the work you have to do - OR work that's due or in progress by the whole team. Plus, there is a messaging interface and an easy way to add people to your tasks/projects/folders as followers or assignees. And they were totally ready for me, with a well-developed GTD suggested setup.
Contras: Nothing really so far. The design is good, but not A+. It's functional, attractive, but will probably need a refresh in the next year or so. Compared to others out there, e.g. Teamwork Projects, Zoho, Monday, Podio etc., it holds its own.

It helps me get real-time visibility into everything my team is working on
Juan A.
Comentarios: I Found that scoping projects are very easy with this tool, the ease of use the tool is very fascinating and it helps me get a lot more done in a shorter amount of time ;)
Puntos a favor:
I think it's amazing to be able to have a tool that helps me collaborate, and to be surrounded by people that have the same vision and really want to get everything done, and done beautifully.
This amazing tool helps me to consolidate communication and enhance my vendor's visibility
It helps me get real-time visibility into everything my team is working on
It gives me reports to track the projects and my team performances or the Workload, it helps me to have a better view and to see who has bandwidth for the next projects.
It's a great way to Coordinate Across Teams, helps me to break down team silos.
Set up workflows for projects to notify tasks and when they should begin work.
Reduce miscommunication and mistakes when everyone has transparency into work. It's a great way to Develop Campaign Assets, the campaign development process requires collaboration and teamwork.
the Live editing, the threaded comments, document sharing and versioning simplify it's a great way to collaboration and reduce rework. It helps me to Manage Events, Campaigns and Launches It really helps me to deliver marketing programs on time with less stress.
Get plans out of my head so that I don't lose track. It really simplifies whenever I have my next advaertising campaign, I just duplicate the template that I already used and then I'm ready to go.
Contras: None

Wrike in an agency setting
Patrick M.
Comentarios: The main reason my organization needs a tool like Wrike is to compartmentalize tasks and projects in a much more detailed manner than is available through conventional means of communication like Email. For example, we can have a single project folder with subfolders for each key project deliverable - design, development, contracts and statements of work, meeting minutes, etc. It grants all project stakeholders, both internal and external, the means to access anything they need to keep the project moving smoothly. It also allows tasks to be assigned to specific people or groups at various times and with detailed, customizable statuses. Because of this, we're able to use Wrike seamlessly as a process management system.
Puntos a favor: Simply put, the number features and customizations. Wrike is a very robust tool that my development team, our larger organization and many of our clients use as our primary ticketing, process and communication tool. It is feature-rich, including things like timelines, Gantt charts, public or private data collection forms that submit into tasks in a manner you define, and a slew of customizable folders and permissions.
Contras: Permissions "trickle down" the folder structure to any and all subfolders. We've had issues where someone will add a client to a higher level folder with subfolders that were intended to remain private, but they also receive access to those subfolders without any warning or confirmation. I strongly suggest paying close attention to how you architect your folder/project structure to minimize the risk of this happening.

Robust Project Management Tool for Marketing
Usuario verificado
Comentarios: Overall Wrike gave my team a lot of time back and created efficiencies in all levels of our organization.
Puntos a favor: The Wrike support team does an AMAZING job. With just a few training calls, they helped my team create a customized workflow and setup our interface for our cross-functional teams and the rollout with the team was SEAMLESS. The dependents you can set with project timelines is my all time favorite feature. Overall takes a lot of manual steps out of project management, and ties together nicely with Invision which makes creative approvals SO. MUCH. EASIER.
Contras: The tool was significantly more expensive than other project management tools. For a small team like ours, it was quite an investment and difficult to get buy-in from upper management.

My to-go tool for Project management and reports
Shilpa H.
Puntos a favor:
I was dwindling between Wrike and another tool for my project management activities and decided to go with Wrike.
- I have been using both Project management and tracking features of wrike and have liked it so far. In comparison with another project management tool, I find this is a very lightweight and easy to use tool. -It is web based and I can login with SSO. -Sends out notifications with weekly reports -I can create private projects and assign my team. I liked this a lot when we planned to pilot a project and didn't want to publicize yet. -Able to create custom folders, sub folders, tasks and subtasks, add users and due dates -I have used mostly scrum based regime and it is very convenient -Gantt chart much similar to MS Project I used some time back, extensively helps me in complex projects identifying dependencies and scheduling
Contras: -Some training may be needed to new users who never used any project management tool before -Instant Messenger can help collaborate on the fly -Customizable options like status, out of office, custom fields, clear dashboards can help -No shared calendar option to view tasks on daily/monthly basis for resources and see their availability -User needs to be connected to internet all time and can't work locally -I use a paid version, but trial period may be a bit short for new users to familiarize and onboard subscription -May not be suitable for startups or small companies as learning curve may be too long.

Wrike is Great for Small Teams Looking for a Project Management Solution
Brett W.
Comentarios: I recommend Wrike for companies looking for a pure project management solution. If you or your company is looking for project management coupled with CRM and other business end functionalities, Wrike itself may not be the ideal solution.
Puntos a favor: While working with a team that eventually outgrew email and another product we were using, the team decided to give Wrike a try. Overall, Wrike is great for managing project planning and scoping. While I primarily used it for task management, it made my collaboration with the company a lot easier since the company was able to gauge accurate and more realistic timelines so that the team wasn't overburdened or given unrealistic or unmanageable deadlines. Aside from task management and creating effective project pipelines and timelines, Wrike has the ability to create custom folders so that projects and clients stay organized from the get go and project managers can get an overview of a project's progress in a very short amount of time.
Contras: This application offers a lot of features, almost too many in the project management realm, so I recommend that any team or organization that adopts Wrike into their workflow sign up for training. After training, you should be able to get some consulting from the vendor at how Wrike works best for your company and how it can help improve your current process.

Honest Feedback
Melissa P.
Comentarios: Wrike is a super efficient platform for collaboration and organization within a business. It can organize tasks, schedules, discussions and company files all in one shared place. It can also sync employees, and can even get clients involved. There are 3 main components to this app which consist of projects, folders and tasks. And while the benefits of this app far outweigh the negative, my biggest issue with Wrike has been that the setup seems a bit confusing to me, and outside of the Wrike webinar that I took, there are no tutorials available online to walk potential users through in order to make usage of the app more efficient.
Puntos a favor: The creation of projects with the ability to assign subtasks and dependencies is a really great feature. I also really like the "timeline view" which enables users to see the progression of a project, including all of the dependencies, so that if something is delayed in the process of a project, we are able to project how much time it will take us to complete the entire project now with these varying components and the change of events / due dates.
Contras: It does not have a shared calendar for employees to view a daily, monthly or yearly tasks divvied up, and there are no tutorials available online to teach users how to use the app. I also feel like I could be doing so much more with the app than I am currently aware of. But I am finding difficulty in navigating through it without any sense of direction. This is especially a little frustrating for people who are new to project management, and really have no idea where to begin, or even how to divvy up the tasks in a comprehensive manner for all of our current employees. It would help to have tutorials, offer one-on-one sessions, or even just to have little pop-ups that explain the app as you go, with helpful hints and tips.

Very good project management software, it has allowed me to simplify my work in a fast way.
Lilians C.
Comentarios: It has allowed me to work more efficiently, incorporating all the work team to have clear goals to work according to them and establishing the priorities of each area with their respective managers, which has allowed me to innovate within my organization in project management.
Puntos a favor: It is ideal for project planning, since it has tools that facilitate organization, one of the features that I like most about this software is that it allows to have a clear real-time view of the status of each activity and therefore takes the progress of the project updated with a series of diagrams that facilitate the interpretation and incorporation of the whole team, I can also set the priorities of my project to visualize them without the team deviating from the main objective. On the other hand, it is a software that is very easy to use, it also allows exporting the reports to other Microsoft or PDF packages to facilitate their visualization and printing on any computer.
Contras: Basically it is designed in a web context and therefore it is necessary to have access to the internet to be able to use it and this could be a limitation, in addition the free trial has a few days duration, which makes it necessary to pay monthly the license to access the account .

Wrike provides the most intuitive project and tasks management.
Mayra M.
Comentarios: Wrike has always been the most helping tool that have assists me in my every other project. I am able to get done most of my work through easy tracking and complete assistance. This has been the most easy and intuitive tool which has enables me to completely manage my work in a scheduled and organized manner.
Puntos a favor: Wrike has served for me as one of the leading tool to assist me in my most of the projects and assigned tasks. It has the most efficient tools and features which allows me to track the overall progress of the projects. I can easily schedule the tasks and even collaborate with the other employees on certain tasks. This allows me to stay organized and be more productive in my field work.
Contras: Although, Wrike has all the necessary tools and features to easily help me in my working projects. But i have slightly faced few issues while using it. Like for some long term projects, the tracking ability slows down and I lose the whole interest in that. Wrike plays its part at every step but due to some connectivity issues, I also lose the collaboration spirit with my team members.

Wrike is a right choice
Muhammad S.
Comentarios: I really like the automation features that remind you to complete the task if all of your sub tasks has been completed. It helps you not let the ball dropped.
Puntos a favor:
Its a great project management tool where you can log and track all activities and action Items of your team.
You can also log your working hours along with description of what you done (Your part of project)
You can create tasks under each project and sub task under each task and share them with appropriate team.
The time line and calendar integration are life saver.
Addition feature of launching meeting right from your task or calendar are bonus.
If task or project is not shared with you, you can't access it and cannot request the owner of task to share it with you if you don't know who is task manager. While in other application you have the option to request right from the screen where it tells you its not shared with you without letting you know who is the owner of task or project that keeps the project privacy too .
Meeting quality is not as good as other meeting applications

Wrike Makes it Easy to Stay Organized, But it Isn't a Magic Bullet
Andrew S.
Comentarios: There are a handful of ways in which I use Wrike: project management tool, personal organizer, and wiki. As a project management tool, it is useful to be able to create folders or projects full of tasks and share them with your team. I like that I can assign tasks to people and Wrike can automatically send emails to notify people that they're responsible for a task or subtask. Wrike has many of the features you would expect from a project management tool, such as dependencies and date constraints. Unfortunately, though, Wrike lacks a field that allows you to enter a workload in terms of hours. By default, you can assign date constraints and a duration. This is useful for viewing your project in the Gantt view, but it is useless for Workload view. Wrike has a great feature in Custom Fields, which can sort of be used as a workaround for the Workload shortcoming, but why not include it as standard? Since Wrike gives you the flexibility to make tasks as incomplete or as fleshed out as you'd like, one can imagine many useful applications. Tasks and folders are merely vessels and if they can be filled with objects and given handles that are useful to you, then they can serve different purposes. I have folders that I use for staying organized. Wrike is comparable to Microsoft OneNote in this way. Rather than covering my desk with Post-it notes, I create tasks in Wrike. Wrike is like a second brain that lets me forget about the note for the moment and come back to it later. Wrike has many features which make it easy to change a task into whatever you need it to be. Later, my note might turn into a project, or it might remain a private information repository. A useful feature to add would be optical character recognition (OCR), which would allow me to scan documents and turn them into content in a Wrike task. Since Wrike allows you to edit access down to the specific user or collaborator, it can be used like a wiki where you want to share information with other team members, but restrict access for others. I use Wrike tasks to keep track of useful information that I want to share with select few people, which I wouldn't be able to do if I put the information on the company intranet without considerable burden on the IT department. Beware of one major downside to using Wrike, which is that it is dependent on a fast internet connection. Without that, you won't be able to access or edit your information.

Used it years ago - and it's better now
Henry E.
Comentarios: Solving the problem of multiple groups in multiple locations quickly and easily communicating about all types of projects - quickly and easily and 100% online. Getting rid of email to boot!
Puntos a favor: Super flexible and FAST user interface. Best PM tool for speed and ease of toggling folder and projects open quickly and easily (in the left column). I think it's better than all of them out there.
Contras: expensive. We were quoted a large cost to go thru the onboarding. I guess you get what you pay for but this is not the 'free' or 'cheap' setup like you get with a Zoho or Trello type tool.

Wrike has helped me and my team to efficiently manage our projects.
Dipin R.
Puntos a favor: The best reason to use Wrike,is its request feature. Usually, we have to spend a lot of time in getting done with audits, requests, and proposals over tons of emails. But here, we get it done with ease! I just love the level of customization this application has allowed. The dashboards are very user-friendly, it has helped us to stay in track with the success of tasks and project. You can check out the chart options while you deal with different timelines. For example, a Gantt chart helps in the completion of projects that have quite a lot of tasks. Duplication of tasks and assignment of these to team members are all made simple. It has helped in improving transparency and eliminating errors that originate due to miss communication.
Contras: Actually, we had found that as far as concerned with users who doesn't have much technical knowledge related to project management, there ought to be some training given! I couldn't find a calendar which could be shared with the team members.

Lists, Boards, Gantt Charts galore!
Usuario verificado
Comentarios: My overall experience with Wrike was good! I appreciated that the project data could be show in a number of views e.g. lists, boards, tables, timelines, that way it could be tailored to the users preference. Some people visualize and process data differently, so having the option was nice!
Puntos a favor: A lot of project management software is alike. I think the two things that I appreciated most about Wrike is that ability to add dependencies to projects/tasks/substasks and the analytics dashboard. The dependencies are nice because if something in your project changes (which happens literally all the time), the plan will adjust accordingly, instead of having to spend time shifting tasks around manually. The analytics were nice because it helped us measure productivity and helped us make informed decisions when it came to resource planning.
Contras: This probably less of a software issue and more of an internal set up issue, but I would advise anyone planning on using this system to be thoughtful about how s/he sets up folders and users; I recommend designing nomenclature that makes sense for your team/company. We probably jumped in prematurely without guiding our users on naming conventions and organization.

Project management & collaboration solution!
Tony B.
Comentarios: I would highly recommend this tool to any team that needs a project management & collaboration solution. Wrike works well for startups and bigger companies, it's good for marketing, engineering, product, and almost any other team. You know, one of those awesome things that are just perfect almost anywhere.
Puntos a favor: I have had the chance to used several systems designed to help you manage a team, personal tasks, and projects, but none have been as robust and user-friendly as Wrike. With Wrike you can make task managing as easy or complicated as you need it to be. I really enjoy the ability that allows you to create dashboards to see specifically what you want to see and nothing else. At the same time, they provide you with great support as you get going with their product so you aren't left wondering how to use it.
Contras: the newest update for the project isn't my favorite. The overall appearance of the Inbox, Dashboard, etc. items looks clean, but as someone who deals with many small tasks rather than large ones, I would like to have the previous design where the category color of the task was highlighted over the bulk of the preview. This made it easy to scan through and find certain tasks that needed completing.

Wrike is my daily go-to project mangement tool
Usuario verificado
Comentarios: This is a great project management tool and provides an easy way to collaborate with others, share files, and manage a timeline to meet deliverables.
Puntos a favor: I love wrike! I use it daily to manage all of my event tasks and requests. Its easy to submit tasks and assign stakeholders, apply due dates, upload files (even files directly from google drive), and track progress. I have created my own event templates that I can copy and paste, that have all the general tasks that need to be completed for each event- so I don't have to recreate the wheel with every project. When duplicating event tasks, I can even apply same assignment rules and descriptions, which is a huge time saver since I often collaborate with the same core team on these tasks.
Contras: When I duplicate tasks, it often keeps the same old dates rather than adjusting to the current date, so I have to manually update those in each task. Also, if you don't manually mark a task complete, it can stack up and cloud the view of what needs to be done. However, this is something that should just be incorporated into best practices when using the tool...mark complete once finished to clear the queue.

Brown Cat with White Mustache
He's beautiful, isn't he? I don't think I've ever seen a brown cat, have you? He looks as if he has a white mustache and look at the size of those legs! Big and gorgeous. via

Must have a very interesting ancestry to present such a lovely brown color. A real sweetheart! I wonder if "he" is still somewhat a kitten; my Chaucer had big feet and he turned into a big cat--15 lbs.

I want so to pick him up and cuddle him. I read a bit about brown cats, and they are rare, pedigreed cats.

GBC Winstone was formed as the enveloping brand to oversee sales and bring added marketing impetus for Golden Bay Cement and Winstone Aggregates as well as the newly formed Winstone Transport.
BTL was approached to devise the new parent brand. Client expectations were that the logo would reflect the fact that all these companies were locally owned New Zealand businesses, and that the logo would reflect not just a visual similarity, but the GBC Winstone values of family, friendly and intimate connections both internally and externally.
Identifying a key way of creating this familial relationship was key. The one common visual theme existing latently within all 3 brand logos was the diamond. It was the common language all three shared, and therefore needed to be reflected in the envelope brand. The 'diamond connection' fit, and linked, but also offered consistency and the perfect connection from the parent company to its respective brands. From this I was able to draw New Zealand elements in, though a literal integration into the diamond, and also through identifying key colours of New Zealand and drawing these into the palette.
After the clients enthusiastic buy in, we were able to move to wider brand development, bringing the logo into corporate stationary, presentation documents and templates, and company diaries. Further concepts were proposed, which are still pending.
Logo Development
Corporate Identity items
Vision and Values Booklet
Powerpoint Presentation Template
Staff & Contractor Diaries
Website page – Linking to 3 primary sub-brand sites
Proposed other items (Apparel, Vehicle Signage)

Indoor Pet Containment
Dog Guard's indoor containment solutions provide a wireless dog fence for your home, and may be used to train your pets in a variety of indoor situations.
We offer an indoor system that allows you to keep your pet contained completely indoors. Or, if you have an indoor/outdoor pet and would like for your pet to be able to access the front or back yards while restricting access to certain rooms or areas of the home, the RT-2 Transmitter is the answer you're looking for.
Our wireless indoor pet containment system is like and indoor dog fence, and gives you indoor control of dogs and cats of any size!
RT-2 Room Transmitter
The RT-2 room transmitter is a small versatile device that is designed for containing or restraining pets in or from designated areas inside of the home. It can be used in the home, garage or basement. The RT-2 room transmitter is portable and can travel with you and your pet.
- The AC Adapter has a 10-foot long cord, so it should accommodate most outlet configurations in the home.
- The RT-2 room transmitter radiates a 360ª signal up to 8 feet.
- The RT-2 room transmitter is available in two frequencies.
- It has non-encoded or encoded mode settings.
- When the RT-2 room transmitter is set in the encoded mode, an ID code makes the system immune to all interference from stray signals and provides "DUAL ZONES", in the signal field. The dual zone establishes two signal fields. In the first signal field, the pet receives a warning level stimulus that has been preset on the front of the RT-2 room transmitter. Its purpose is to warn the pet to turn back. Should the pet enter the second signal field, the receiver will automatically increase to a stronger stimulus.
- The RT-2 room transmitter is a great way to keep pets off countertops, furniture, out of special rooms or out of the garbage!
- RT-2 room transmitter has a limited lifetime warranty.
- The green light serves as a power light and surge indicator. If there is a power surge, it will flash with an audible alarm.
- The correction level adjustment works only in the encoded mode. There are 32 levels of stimulation to choose from. This will set the amount of stimulation the pet will receive in the first signal field.
- The range control adjuster is recessed to prevent unwanted tampering. The field range can be easily adjusted by using a small screwdriver
Features and Technology
The Dog Guard indoor system uses the same dual-signal technology as our outdoor system. This means that the AM signal combined with our unique 88-bit digital code eliminates the possibility of a false activation from another signal source. In addition to the anti-alsing technology provided by the 88-bit code, the receiver can be set to increase the intensity of the correction as your pet continues into the signal field and gets closer to the transmitter.
Two handy adjustments and indicator lights help you to control the distance that the room transmitter projects its signal and the intensity of the correction that your pet receives if he should challenge this unseen barrier. What a simple way to keep your pet from getting into areas that are "off-limits"!
- Train your pets to stay where you want them when you are not home… WITHOUT special gates or cages!
- Keep your dog out of other areas of your home or apartment, such as the baby's room or the living room, and keep him out of the trash!
- Prevent your cat from using your antiques, sofas, chairs and other furniture as scratching posts!
DOG GUARD Indoor Dog Fence or Cat Fence: 100% Pet Safe!
The Dog Guard wireless indoor fence system is completely pet safe for your dog or cat. Using advanced wireless technology, Dog Guard's Indoor Room Transmitter creates a 360° "wireless fence" up to 16 feet wide with the RT-2 Transmitter at the zones center. This zone can be used to safely keep your pets safely inside or outside of it, as when keeping your pet out of the garbage or other areas of your home.
We will completely install and configure your indoor containment system, then we'll put our pet training skills to work with you and your pet to train them how to avoid approaching the perimeter of the system, whether approaching from the outside or inside of the containment area described above.
Contact us or call (330) 421-0986 for more information, or to schedule a FREE consultation to see how the Dog Guard wireless indoor pet containment system can give you the control you're looking for!
We'll be happy to answer any of your questions while helping you pick the best dog fence and containment solution for you and your pet.

- A Spin on Mom's Home Cooking (4/30/2017)
I truly love hearty homemade meals. The thing I hate is refined foods and the fact that hearty meals generally look like something that was quickly thrown together in a cafeteria line up. What I've done is made a regular ass meal and made it a little more visually appealing if you want to really impress your dinner guests.
I hope you didn't think I was gonna just talk about the food and not go on a longwinded rant about nothing. First of all, I have a confession… I'm on day 13 of Whole30 right now. Myself and a friend of mine wanted to see if we could do it on the DL. THE ONLY PROBLEMMMMM, is that I haven't written a post in over a week cause I'm eating like an actual caveman and you guys don't wanna see this shit. I've already gone through 2 jars of homemade mayo cause I just put it on everything. I pan fried leftover sweet potatoes for breakfast this morning and put mayo on top. Words can't even explain how weird my eating habits are when I'm on Whole30.
The other thing, relating to Whole30 ish… I got a tattoo last night and I was under the needle for like 2 and a half hours and I was so exhausted from the pain on my ribcage that I stopped at Moxie's restaurant on Bourbon Street to take a breather. I looked at the whole menu and obviously there was nothing I could eat. So I sat at the bar alone and drank a glass of water and then left. If you want people to think you're an asshole, go to a restaurant and order water. I NEEDED THIS OKAY.
What It Is:
Zucchini, thinly sliced using a mandolin and cut into circles using a food mould. I spread some truffle oil and sea salt over it and roasted it uncovered for 10 minutes.
Spiralized carrots with garlic powder and salt. Microwaved for 30 seconds to make it soft.
Free run chicken thighs, roasted with cumin, chilli powder and salt.
Drizzled with balsamic reduction.
Garnished with fresh basil and broccoli sprouts.
- Decorated Sweet Potato (8/13/2017)
I would have more to say if my fingernails weren't burning from cutting jalapeños for my lunches this week. These guys were potent af.
I bought the edible flowers from Reclaim Urban Farm, and the coconut bacon and cashew dill sour cream from Urban Pierogies. Even if you don't live in Edmonton, you could probably source something similar from a local organic grocer or a farmers market!
3 sweet potatoes
3 tsp coconut oil
A pinch of Herbamare Zesty Salt
5-6 fresh chives, chopped
8-9 flowers (WASHED)
3 tsp cashew dill "sour cream"
Preheat BBQ to 400F. Scrub sweet potatoes under cold water. Lightly salt with Herbamare seasoning and wrap in tip foil (shiny side in). Barbecue for 45 minutes or 1 hour depending on the size of the sweet potato.
Once they are soft, cut the potato open and lightly mash with coconut oil. Add "sour cream" and coconut "bacon" (lol) and begin placing flowers face up on the potatoes.
Side Dish
I sliced a golden beet with a mandolin and grilled them on the bbq. Sliced tomato. Topped with chives and balsamic reduction. Yummy!
- Inspiration and the Fruit Mug (3/13/2017)
"I get these insane ideas…"
I get these insane ideas and sometimes it doesn't work out, sometimes it's so good I don't tell anyone because it's how I plan on getting rich, and sometimes I forget if I don't write it down and it's gone forever. I created a new tab on my website called, "Inspiration". For those times when you just want to look at gorgeous photos of food and also because a lot of the time my recipes are more of an idea than a recipe.
I woke up Thursday morning in Seattle with a craving for fruit. I had no idea what I was going to make so I made my way to the farmers market to see what was fresh. I'm that disgusting human being that needs to touch every single fruit to make sure I LOVE it before bringing it home with me. It's an intimate thing. I grabbed a mango and my finger sunk into it and I yelled, "OH MY GOD ITS PERFECT!" The clerk that was working nodded at me like, "I know right". I instantly wanted to turn it into a flower. When I got home and made the flower I looked at the bowls and was disappointed that my fruit was prettier than all of the china. My coffee mug on the drying rack looked at me and said, "Maybe I can help?" Unconventional, but maybe he was onto something. I threw my combo of tangerines and orange slices into the bottom and placed the flower on top. I filled in the cracks with RAMBUTAN (not to be confused with lychee, you idiot Kayla) and then chopped up a few pistachios and put them on top.
What I'm getting at… I could say YOU HAVE TO MAKE A BANANA TANGERINE SALAD AND PUT A MANGO AND RAMBUTAN AND PISTACHIOS ON TOP OR ELSE UNSUBSCRIBE… but what I'm trying to say is that you should probably put your fruit in a mug because it will make you feel awesome and happy.
If you would like to be featured on my inspiration tab, send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com and you might see your art here too! 🙂
- Never Feel Restricted (4/12/2017)
<rant>If you've ever had the decency of clicking on my webpage, you'll see that the title/my mantra is "Never Feel Restricted" The meaning behind it is quite simple; if you have some kind of dietary restrictions whether it be implemented by your doctor or just for fun, don't look at it from this point of view: "I can't eat this this this, that, and definitely not this, my life sucks." Look at everything else there is to offer and roll with it.
Once you start looking at it from this perspective you can apply it to every aspect of your life. Never settle for anything less than exactly what you want.
Do you hate your job? Good. Put every ounce of effort you have into doing what it takes to get the dream job and don't lose sight of it. If you hate your living situation, for example; shitty roommates, stuck at your parents house… Newsflash. You're not stuck. Go on Kijiji or Craigslist and find a new place. If you can't afford it, go get a second job.
This especially applies to relationships. If you're in a bad relationship, whether it be abusive or as simple as "he didn't do anything wrong, he's just holding me back." Then leave. This doesn't just apply to my girls, this is for guys too. If she's gonna play the game and reply to your texts once every 6 hours, what the actual hell are you thinking? You deserve so much better. No matter how lonely it gets in the age of modern dating, when your ex messages you after 3 months of ignoring you, absolutely do not give them what they do not deserve.
I literally do not understand what the fuck you are waiting for.
If you want to get fit and haven't found time, that's bullshit. I've had 3 jobs for the greater part of my life and have always had time for being active, making food and having a balanced social life. I'm not privileged or special.
If you love makeup and have always wanted to start a Youtube channel, I literally do not understand what the fuck you are waiting for. Monetize that shit.
If we lived in a world where we stopped marinating in our own bullshit for even 6 months, imagine where you would be.</rant>
- Paleo Chicken Shawarma (9/30/2017)
I probably eat chicken shawarma 5-6 times a year and suddenly the world is ending because I can't eat it for 30 whole days. Holy shit. Anyway, so I made it whole30 compliant af. Also spent an entire morning studying Leb cooking to make sure I actually respected the process. Not entirely my recipe but I'll reference the appropriate websites!
First of all, the toum was the best part. It's a special garlic dip for chicken. I will refer to it as "garlic fluff" from now on because that's essentially what it is. If you make your own mayo, you already have a leg up on everyone else because you understand how oil can sometimes separate from a mixture and turn it into actual vomit. This is a little more finicky than mayo so I used this video to make sure I didn't waste anything. I read a lot of comments from people advising not to use olive oil because of the taste but I used a light tasting olive oil to make it paleo and it worked very well.
Pro tip: I used real lemon myself but while researching this, I read that using fake lemon will ruin it. Something about enzymes not being active in bottled lemon juice.
1 cup garlic
4 cups light tasting olive oil
1/2 cup real lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
While that's cooling in the refrigerator with a paper towel, I got ready to marinate the chicken. Using dairy to marinate it is undoubtedly the best option for tenderness but we had to kibosh that. I modified this recipe for marinade. Check out her website, she's the real dill.
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, peeled and halved
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pound skinless boneless chicken thighs
1 large red onion, peeled and quartered
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Marinate for 1 hour up to 24 hours. I roasted them all on a sheet pan at 400F for 30 minutes and then on broil for 5 minutes.
1 head of cauliflower
1 cup, freshly chopped flat leaf parsley
1 tsp sea salt
2 tbsp olive oil
Finely chop the cauliflower in a food processor. Combine all ingredient in a large frying pan and sautee on medium/high for 10 minutes. I also made a simple side salad because garden.
Side Salad
2 tomatoes
1 cup chopped cucumber
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp freshly chopped parsley
Bring it all in now. Lay the cauliflower rice down, place the chicken on top and scoop 2 tbsp of the toum next to it. Fill in the blank with salad and some homemade sugar free pickles on the side. Bone app the teeth.
- Potato Flower (4/2/2017)
*not an April Fool's joke*
Two things:
This fucking gorgeous display of potatoes I made today, drizzled with white truffle oil is out of this world. First person that comments "potatoes aren't paleo" is getting a slap. I recently found it very difficult to digest sweet potatoes so I'm experimenting.
Secondly, today marks 5 years since I stopped eating pork so I thought I'd just add onto that and make today the day I stop eating beef. It's time for me to stop being a hypocrite about my views on the world. I love steak and I live smack dab in the middle of Alberta so this is probably something I'm gonna get roasted for incessantly. I'm going to see if it's possible for me to cut it out for a year, and also eat ethically caught fish, and free run organic chicken, unless I'm at a restaurant it will be an exception for the chicken. So, yay cows! 🐮
2 white potatoes
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil infused with white truffle
Oregano for garnish
You will need a mandolin and a small cast iron pan to do this.
Preheat oven to 375F. Slice potatoes with mandolin. In a pre-seasoned cast iron pan, line the edge with the largest slices of potato first and gradually place the smaller ones as it tapers in. Lightly salt. Roast uncovered for 45 minutes or until edges start to brown. Remove from heat and pour truffle oil over potatoes and season with remaining salt and oregano.
- Pretty Breakfast (4/22/2017)
If I don't have any prior commitments on a Saturday morning, the kitchen becomes my oyster. If you are not cutting shapes out of avocados, you are not living! Unless you don't like avocados or are allergic, by all means carry on.
Weekend cooking is my favourite cause I can actually take my time and think of what I want. Generally on a week day, I work for 9 hours and then go to yoga and then spend 30+ minutes driving home and I'm so hungry I claw open a can of tuna and inhale a tomato and gulp a mason jar of broth and go sit on the couch and think about what I've done.
Anywho, no recipe here, just plain old morning cuteness. I'm off to acro yoga and then hitting up the Edmonton Motor Show today and practicing self control. Nine times out of ten, when I see a 370Z I wanna say fuck it and trade in my POS Lancer. It's a fucking struggle. Haaaaaave a GREAT day homies.
- Watermelon Coconut Stacks (6/26/2017)
I love that feeling when you get an idea and it's all you can think about until you try it!
I hate that feeling when you have to go to 3 different grocery stores to find what you needed to do it. Apparently watermelon was a hot commodity in Edmonton this weekend.
They look cute, but you should know I have about 16 of them sitting in the freezer because it took me a bunch of tries to get it to stack. I originally made it with banana nice cream (which was delicious by the way) and they kept melting like the worst ice cream sandwiches sitting on a hot table. Not cool man. Finally got it right! This is such an easy summer dessert worth trying!
1 watermelon, sliced 1/2″ thick
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup almond slivers
Use a food mold to cut several watermelon circles. A food mold is ideal because you will need the food press as well. I used a 2″ mold for stacks.
Blend shredded coconut in food processor or blender for 1 minute. You'll have a very thick consistency to your coconut. Place first layer of watermelon at the bottom of the food mold. Add 1 tbsp coconut and then another layer of watermelon and then press, hard enough that you'll see some watermelon juice come from the bottom. Repeat. Garnish with almonds. Enjoy!

Michigan MAC History
The MAC's activities initially
began in April 1931 with an expanding financial and fiscal crisis among many
cities, villages, schools and county governments.
There was no agency in the State of Michigan focused on resolving
conflicting interests of municipalities and creditors.
In fact, uniform standards of
disclosure or financial statement comparability were unheard of at the time. Complicating matters, municipal
records were hard to read, and state bond laws at times made interpretation
difficult, which led to frequent challenges in court.
As defaults occurred and
confusion grew, a number of banks, broker-dealers, trust departments and
insurance companies conceived the idea that an agency should be organized – to
bring facts concerning municipal bond defaults and key financial information
together in a centralized place. An
organized effort ensued – to underwrite an organization chartered with the task
of gathering and clarifying this information for creditors and debtors.
By October 1932, the MAC
incorporated as a not-for-profit membership association. The MAC initially began
to counsel distressed local governments on how to improve their business
operations. Other activities soon
included providing direct operating loans to school districts, cities and
townships. Refunding and restructuring
debt soon followed.
During the mid-1930s the MAC
cataloged the outstanding bond and note indebtedness of all municipalities in
southeastern Michigan. Reports
(bulletins) were distributed to Members when a new series of debt was to be
issued. A "bulletin" capsuled the
bond details of an offering and a summary of the economic characteristics of the
Issuer community – a novel idea at the time.
Consistency of format, including direct debt, overlapping and indirect
debt of an Issuer – for a fair comparative credit analysis from one Issuer to
the next – soon was a hallmark of the Securities Act of 1933. The new issue MAC Report of today
continues to embrace a consistent format of information for investors,
underwriters and analysts – an important benefit of membership.
Transition into the 21st
Prior to present day computers
and memory to store data on servers, the MAC annually produced soft cover 8
½"x11" books – distributed to Members – representing the debt of all Michigan's
general obligation and all revenue bond issues.
By the late 1990s the MAC was
investing in computers and the conversion of data into digital form. The first internet web site was
created in 1998. More recent
investments in hardware and software infrastructure has allowed the MAC to
expand data and reporting; improve firewalls; and create systems backup and
provide state of the art transmission as a benefit of membership.
The MAC's 8 ½"x11" soft cover
books, the once coveted cornerstone for every underwriter, investment banker,
financial advisor and credit analyst's desk top are now mementos of the past.

Natural gas industry backing Congress' efforts to speed exports, help Ukraine
The U.S. natural gas industry is backing Capitol Hill efforts to get the Energy Department to expedite gas sales overseas in a bid to undercut Russian influence, saying the U.S. government has dragged its feet.
Lawmakers have been pushing to speed up the export-approval process to help loosen Russia's energy grip over Ukraine and other countries, even if immediate changes might not do much to address the current crisis in Ukraine.
The Center for Liquefied Natural Gas -- which represents at least one company poised to start exportation -- acknowledged Wednesday that hastening the Energy Department's approval process is only a small piece of the puzzle toward making Ukraine and other countries less dependent on Russian gas.
However, the department for years has not followed its own rules and regulations on issuing permits, group President Bill Cooper said.
"Congress is trying to get the agency to do what it already should have done," Copper said. "To say we'd be selling gas today, that's not true. But the Energy Department needs to act. If it had, we wouldn't be speculating about Ukraine today."
Copper, a former House Energy and Commerce Committee lawyer, argues the industry isn't asking the agency to change its policies -- only follow its existing rules and regulations on approving permits at the end of public-comment periods.
And beyond the issue of whether such changes would get natural gas supplies quickly overseas, Jamie McInerney, an energy expert at Washington, D.C.-based FTI Consulting, said hastening the approval process would undoubtedly send a "huge market signal" to Russian President Vladimir Putin that he has only temporary control over Europe's natural gas supply.
He also said the debate alone about possible changes has already impacted energy markets and sparked overseas interest in import terminals.
The White House on Wednesday repeated what administration officials have said since Putin sent troops a few weeks ago into Ukraine's Crimea region.
"We continue to take steps to assist the government of Ukraine with its energy security and energy efficiency," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said.
The bipartisan effort to speed export approval on Capitol Hill has included several proposed bills including a bipartisan Senate plan announced Tuesday.
"We need to work with Ukraine and the European Union to forge a long-term and short-term strategy that includes … an energy plan," said North Dakota GOP Sen. John Hoeven, who is co-sponsoring the legislation with Virginia Democratic Sen. Mark Warner.
Debate on the bill and at least two similar ones in the GOP-led House will begin next week when Congress returns from break.
"It is going to take more than sanctions to stand up to Putin," said Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., who also has introduced an export-related bill.
The Energy Department has defended its approval process amid the recent calls for change, recently telling FoxNew.com that it "remains committed to an expeditious and responsible process."
As the United States emerged in recent years as one of the world's largest natural gas producers, only one American company is known to have all the federal permits for and to be close to liquefying and exporting natural gas --- Cheniere Energy Inc., at its Sabine Pass terminal on the Gulf Coast of Louisiana. The company did not return a request for comment Wednesday.
Close behind is Virginia-based Dominion, which hopes to start a similar operation in the near future at its Cove Point facility on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay.
Meanwhile, Warner and Hoeven say the Energy Department so far has approved just six projects while 20 applications remain pending, as Ukraine and the rest of Europe depend on Russia for about one-third of their natural gas needs.
Hill lawmakers and industry experts point out that Energy Department changes are only one part of the puzzle.
Among the other factors is that companies also need permits from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to build export facilities. And such projects cost $7 billion to $10 billion, money that must come from investors, likely including some still hurting from big losses in the natural gas import game that preceded the recent domestic boom.
Energy Department critics also argue the agency is slow in the export-approval process in large part because it was unprepared for the boom and is being pressured by a small-but-powerful coalition of U.S. manufactures that fears such changes will create a world market for natural gas that would end its ability to buy it cheaply.

Highlighting THE GREEN HOUSE Project® Team: Claire Lucas, Project Guide
By Baura Zia / Posted on October 14th, 2013
When Claire Lucas entered a nursing home for the first time, she was anticipating walking into a room filled with smiling faces with laughter echoing throughout the halls. She expected to see nurses walking alongside Elders as they'd wave hello to her, their faces gleaming with happiness and joy. She thought she'd see something resembling a real home. Instead, she was greeted by unpleasant fumes and the sound of someone calling numbers for bingo. A group of Elders were huddled around the nursing station and the atmosphere was unsettling. Almost instantly, Claire felt like leaving – but thankfully, she stayed.
Although gerontology was never a field Claire thought to consider, the need to bring cultural change to the field was something Claire knew she had to help to achieve. Growing up listening to her grandparents stories and witnessing their love and affection, Claire knew the current way in which traditional nursing homes were run was not acceptable. To Claire, Elders held a certain value for which they needed to be appreciated. Thus, she decided to dedicate her efforts to helping reshape Elder care by working toward empowering and helping them at a time in their life when they needed it most.
Throughout her years Claire has worked in various capacities to assist people in Elderhood and at the end of life. As Director of Facility Based Hospice & Bereavement for The Denver Hospice in Colorado, Claire oversaw hospice services including opening a new patient care center and helping The Denver Hospice apply for The Eden Registry. Prior to her work with The Denver Hospice, Claire served as the Vice President of Operations for Vivage Quality Health Partners. Today, Claire serves as a Project Guide at the Green House Project and continues to contribute her skills and experience to help establish Green House homes across the nation.
- 19 years of experience as a Licensed Nursing Home Administrator, opening new facilities and assisting in specialty program development
- Masters of Science in Gerontology, emphasis in Direct Service
- Regional Vice President for nine skilled nursing facilities in Colorado
- Eden Educator and LEAP Educator
- Presenter at numerous national conferences, including her special interest in Alzheimer's Disease and culture change
- Board Member Colorado Culture Change Coalition
Claire has been incredibly active in her passion toward assisting those with Alzheimer's. She has worked on developing some of the earliest Special Care Units and continues to remain active with those projects.
Claire enjoys international travel and visiting new places. She also enjoys theater, the arts along with the outdoors and hiking.
Building an Elder Friendly Future
By Baura Zia / Posted on October 1st, 2013
In a recent blog on ChangingAging.org, Kavan Peterson discusses the need to build an elder friendly future. According to Jim Diers, internationally renowned community-builder and former director of Seattle Department of Neighborhoods, it means that we've created a world in which we've separated "the built environment from the natural and social environment, even though that's not how we live. We separate our elders and our young people and people with disabilities. We can't create community when we're breaking up."
Under the Aging Your Way initiative created by Denise Klein, CEO of the Seattle non-profit King County Senior Services, individuals came together and were asked to envision the lifestyle they'd want as elders. While individual answers varied, there were several themes which matched those of the Green House homes.
One of the themes was the need to be recognized as more than just an elder with needs. Instead, they wanted to be seen as individuals who could contribute their knowledge and wisdom, continue to learn and also be able to participate in outdoor activities. Earlier this year, residents and staff of the Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community took to the outdoors and did some woodwork. The results were several pieces of furniture for each home in the Woodland Park neighborhood: a dining room table which seats 14, a hutch, a game table, side table and matching bookshelves. Green House homes empower Elders to actively participate in meaningful activities, giving them the autonomy and control to plan their day as they choose. Not only does this eliminate the structure of institutionalized care, but it also works to shape an elder-friendly world outside the home.
September as World Alzheimer's Month
By Baura Zia / Posted on September 27th, 2013
The effects of Alzheimer's disease hit close to home for many people and remain a global issue effecting over 35.6 million people worldwide. This September, World Alzheimer's Month focused on global advocacy with researchers in all parts of the world working to help people affected and their families in not only finding a cure, but also a way to help prevent the disease. Although the month is over, these efforts have continued.
As strenuous as Alzheimer's and other dementias may be on elders and their families, the financial burdens of covering treatments and other medical costs that come along with it can be more exhausting. According to the Alzheimer's Association, payments for treatment and overall healthcare costs for Alzheimer's and other dementias will increase from $203 billion in 2013 to $1.2 trillion in 2050. More than half of these payments will come from either middle-income or low-income countries whose citizens face other financial struggles along with the added Alzheimer's treatment costs.
As these statistics continue to rise, it's vital that those affected by Alzheimer's disease be seen as whole people, who are deserving of meaningful lives. The Green House Project has consistently recognized the unique needs of every Elder, including those living with dementia related illnesses. Residents of Green House homes experience a real home setting with smaller groups of 6-12 Elders. This feeling of being at home helps Elders to remember familiar patterns of behavior thus helping to reduce any anxiety or uneasiness they may have. A highly trained staff works alongside elders and caters to their every need. Specially trained with an additional 128 hours of education beyond what's typically required for the CNA certificate allows the staff to put more emphasis on person-directed dementia care.
Earlier this year, researchers in Sweden were able to detect changes within nerve cells which occur during the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. By discovering this, researchers may be able to fight the disease using new approaches and may possibly be able to create new treatments. More recently, researchers at the University of California Los Angeles found links between different proteins responsible for characteristic plagues and tangles in aging brains which may lead to Alzheimer's.
It goes without saying that these findings and those of other researchers around the world are due in large part to the donations and funding they receive. On September 21st, the World Alzheimer's Action Day sought to bring awareness and knowledge to this pressing global issue, emphasizing areas in which both time and monetary donations can help with Alzheimer's research. There is much that can be done to help with awareness campaigns and the growing need for increased research funding. Whether you wish to help at a local level or play your role in spreading global advocacy, there is plenty of opportunity available. Contact your local Alzheimer's organization or visit the Alzheimer's Foundation of America or the Alzheimer's Association.
