Map and Directions
Roy Nichols and his wife, A.B. are longtime supporters of children and Children's' Hospitals in both Alabama and Mississippi.
Roy is a former professional golfer and successful Christmas tree farmer with his first "choose and cut" tree farm in Mobile, Alabama in 1981. Success with the Mobile location led to expansion, and ownership of tree farms in North Carolina and Mississippi; and his first taste of philanthropy for a Children's Hospital at UAB Cancer in Birmingham in 1982.
In 2009, the Nichols met with Blair E. Batson Hospital Public Relations staff to discuss plans to introduce the best Christmas tree, both in quality and freshness, and use a portion of the proceeds to benefit the children at Blair E. Batson Hospital.
The first location was at the Mississippi Fairgrounds (Building 13) converting it to a "Christmas Tree Mall." In 2010, a second location was added at the former Rapids on the Reservoir. In 2014, it was moved up the road to the lot between Fred's Pharmacy and Dollar General. In 2018, we closed the Mississippi Fairgrounds location and opened our new location at the Greenfield Farm in Pearl Mississippi on Highway 468 W.
The two Retail Lot locations will benefit Mississippi's only Children's Hospital---Blair E. Batson, part of the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
Fresh cut Fraser Fir, direct from our farm in Ashe County, North Carolina ranging in height from 5' to 14'.

WHEN HIS SON was caught allegedly shoplifting at the Burlington Coat Factory in Upper Darby on Friday, Marvin Francis didn't just sweep it under the rug.
Instead, police say, he grabbed a broom from a sales display as he walked to the security office. Once there, he beat his son repeatedly with the broom before dragging him to the sidewalk and knocking him unconscious.
Now it's Francis who's being punished, as he sits in the Delaware County Prison on $100,000 bail, charged with aggravated assault and related offenses.
"He beat him like a piece of meat," said Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood. "It's one thing to discipline a kid, it's a another thing to feloniously assault a child and then not even get him medical help."
The incident started about 7 p.m. Friday, when loss-prevention officers at the store, on 69th Street near Chestnut, caught two 16-year-old boys stealing, Chitwood said. He didn't know what the boys – who are cousins – were accused of stealing, and he didn't release their names because they are juveniles.
The loss-prevention officers didn't call police about the thefts, which is not unusual, but they did call the teens' parents, Chitwood said.
Francis, 39, of Woodcrest Avenue near 76th Street, was the first to arrive.
"As he's walking in, he picks up a broom in the store from a sales display and walks into the security office and starts beating his son with the broom," Chitwood said. "Then he throws the broom down and punches, kicks and knocks the kid to the ground."
All this happened while the boy's cousin sat nearby. "He's sitting right there watching, scared to death," Chitwood said.
Security officers tried to stop the beating, according to police, but then they let Francis sign for his child and walk out of the store with him.
"The next thing you know, he's outside of the store and he starts punching him and beating him again," Chitwood said. "This time he knocks him down, stomps him in the head and knocks him unconscious."
After attempts to revive his son failed, Francis picked him up, threw him over his left shoulder, walked across 69th Street and tossed him into the back of his black Lexus, according to police.
Chitwood said officers were called to the scene by civilians on 69th Street who saw the alleged beating, and not by store security.
"As far as the retail theft, I can understand that they didn't call us, but when the father started beating the kid the way he did, that's when [store security] should have called police," he said.
By the time officers arrived, father and son were gone. Responding officers were able to get the child's address and went to West Philadelphia to check on his well-being, Chitwood said.
The boy lives with his mother and was there when police arrived. He was conscious and alert, but police tried to convince his mother to take him to a hospital to get him checked out. Chitwood said she was "reluctant" to do so. He didn't know yesterday if the boy had been seen by a doctor.
Although they don't live together, Francis allegedly showed up at the mother's house while police were there and was promptly arrested, Chitwood said.
Look.. let me tell you something about my parents; Julia and Stafford, God rest their souls. IF I was ever caught stealing and the police asked me if I wanted them to call my parents or the police, bytch better believe i'm taking what's behind door number 2 and going with the police. No way in hell would I have wanted to have either of my parents have to come retrieve me from some ol boolshyt like stealing?? Stealing?? Some ol n*gga shyt?? Maaan my parents could excuse a lot of things and they did. But doing some n*gga shyt was always the NUMBER ONE offense in our house growing up. We weren't even allowed to be late for shyt because being late was the ish that n*ggas loved to do. : shudders:: One day I'll tell y'all about the one and only time I was ever late in Stafford Caldwell's house as a teenager. :: cries at the memories ::
DOn't be late, don't get anyone pregnant, don't get arrested for stupid shyt. Those were the three big rules in our house that were met with SEVERE consequences.
The biggest one though? Don't ever embarrass my parents. So if I had been apprehended for stealing ( n*gga shyt violation) AND embarrass my parents? Please believe I would have just grabbed a gun from aisle 8 and started firing into the air in order for the police to lock me up and put me in a cell with killers and child rapists. Because i'd be safe ass safer there.
I feel bad for this kid, i truly do. Dude got amistad beat all up and down aisles 4-12 of that Burlington coat factory. That's a whole lot of Southpole, Rocawear and potpurri to see whilst being beaten. But…. i bet he never steals again. Just like I bet pops hopes someone is coming to put some money on his books for the commissary right about now. His behaviour was stupid as hell to do….in public.
Just saying….
I don't believe in ever BEATING a kid.
…..but…. just saying.
EVERYBODY learned a lesson THAT day.

If the PID was bigger than the variable `most-positive-fixnum', then that might well be the case.

"Shadow ban" - this is a sharp decrease in views on your Instagram account caused by the network putting limits on it. Specifically, under a shadow ban, everything appears to be in order with your account: posts are published and subscribers are not deleted. However, interactions and other metrics are cut in half or even more.
Experiencing a shadow ban can be a disaster. As a result, the account is made virtually invisible to searchers, limiting exposure to a new audience. Your photos no longer appear in the group of pictures attached to the hashtags you use when you post. If your account is new or small, it can be extremely difficult to build an audience while under such a ban.
Here is what Instagram itself has to say:
"Some users may experience problems finding posts using hashtags. We are working to resolve the issue".
How can I tell if my account has fallen victim to the shadow ban?
To find out if your account has gone "dark", contact 3-5 users that you are not subscribed to and ask them to check and see if your photo appears when they search using a hashtag of your choosing. For better results, choose less popular hashtags to make it easier to find your pictures.
If users do not see the photos, then you are likely under a shadow ban.
Why was my account "made dark"?
Officially, there is no information on this matter. We assume that the shadow ban is implemented due to suspicions of spamming. For example:
Using programs that violate the Instagram's user agreement. Perhaps you used bots to cheat your follower numbers, such as Instagress, Followliker or Mass Planner. It's also possible that you used services to grow your Instagram account, such as Boostly, Social Envy or Socially Rich.
Violation of daily and hourly Instagram limits. Instagram limits the number of actions that can be performed each day. Users are allowed no more than 150 likes per day, cannot write more than 60 comments, cannot subscribe to more than 60 accounts and cannot unsubscribe from more than 60 accounts per hour.
Using a compromised hashtag. Occasionally, innocent hashtags can be compromised - This occurs when users upload photos of naked bodies or engage in hate speech. If Instagram notices this, they either delete the tag or limit its use by placing snapshots of such a tag under the shadow ban.
Your account is receiving complaints. Account complaints - the fastest way to draw unwanted attention from Instagram and make them aware of violations to their terms of use policy. Usually this entails complaints about spam, violation of intellectual property rights, or offensive content. If this happens, Instagram can either completely ban the account, or use a shadow ban.
How do I restore my account back to normal?
Disable access to third-party applications. Do not use bots or third-party services to attract subscribers. You can deny access to any application that you do not trust. To do this, simply click the "Revoke Access" button:
Remove any incorrect or compromised tags from your tags set and from your old posts. Review each tag that you use individually, making sure that none of them are flagged or locked by Instagram.
If a tag has been limited, you either will not see the tag at all (it will have been deleted) or you will see several images and a notification that the tag was hidden due to a rule violation.
If you find any such tags, remove them and do not use them in the future. If you do not have a set of tags that you use on a regular basis, you will need to check any new tags before adding them to your post. Finally, if you find a "bad" tag, check all old posts and remove it from them as well.
Take a break for 48 hours, then make a post, making sure to observe all Instagram rules and limits. Take a break for two days, during which time you refrain from commenting or even just logging into your account. After two days you can start to engage your audience again.
Avoid using various "hacks" designed to aid audience growth. Abandon any semi-legal ways you may have used to circumvent Instagram guidelines.
Inform Instagram about the problem. It is usually difficult to get a response from a social network such as Instagram, but it's worth a try.
This can be done directly from the application: Your profile → Settings → Report a problem. Select "Something isn't working" and describe the problem. We recommend that you specify that your posts are not sorted by hashtags. You can do this several times a day. Do not expect Instagram to answer, but, if they do, any help they provide will come in handy.
Switch from a business account to a personal account. There is an opinion that the shadow ban is used to help stimulate commercial accounts; as such, they are allegedly being imposed as advertising tools on social networks. If you switch to a personal account, this may help you find your way out of the ban.

Weekly Winedown #12 Castello D'alba Douro
Welcome to the Weekly Winedown. Each week I selflessly drink wine for you offer a review.
Please don't expect anything professional, I consume a lot of wine but I'm no pro.
The only real 'rule' I'm putting in place is that the wine is to be under £8 a bottle. #keepitclassy.
Well, last week was a bit exciting wasn't it? What I strongly suspected would be dog biscuits turned out to be macarons.
In fact HUGE win. I happily chomped them into this week.
Last week also saw an impromptu 'Winedown' from York races.
If I went more places this would happen more often.
I need inviting to wine awards and cocktail shop openings!
This week is also pretty exciting, for me. I finally have a recommendation – in a fashion.
The wonderful Patricia from White Camellias is lucky enough to reside in warmer, more exotic lands.
She suggested that I try a Portuguese wine (she may be a little biased).
I hadn't even thought that Portugal made wine. I mean, everyone makes wine but I thought they just did a lot of Port, that they were good at it and so left it there.
But no, it's not the easiest to come by but I found a bottle and now am REALLY looking forward to it.
I'll admit, I'm going into this expecting that it will be just like Port.
I have no cheese though.
Mmmmmm port and cheese.
Back in the room.
This week I am supping Castello D'alba Douro from Portugal. £6.99 from Ocado but the internet tells me I can get it for under £4 a bottle!
The label is simple, a bit sexy in fact. Not simple in a CBA way but simple in a 'what's inside is so good we don't need to BA'.
It's confidence is intriguing.
The blurb
"Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional native grapes / Upper Douro schist soils."
That's it. No actual blurb. Just a list of grapes and something about
shit schist soils! (Schist is a type of rock, you're welcome).
This wine is so sure of itself, it needs no fancy label.
It needs no actual description.
It's so #zerofucks it's uber cool.
This wine is either going to be something special or the worst thing to ever pass my lips and trust me, I've consumed some crap. Not literally of course.
The smell is, once again, vague.
This bad boy is giving nothing away. I'm a bit hayfevery but I get pretty much nothing. Just a real hint of smokiness. Like when you walk through a village in autumn and their fires are burning.
The taste.
It's smooth and gentle with a light spiciness. It's veering toward being full bodied but with no bitterness.
I can't even say it's fruity because it is but it isn't.
It's just amazing.
Like the wines you get from the local vineyards in the South of France.
Sorry Rory. Sorry the kids. I think I just proper fell in love.
This wine has arrived in my life at the perfect time.
I've been in a funk this week.
Partly because we're getting ready to transition to Year 2 (Aoife, not me) and partly just because.
This little beaut has cheered me no end.
This is a wine I would give to people I really liked. And because it's so cheap I'd probably send it by the caseload.
Price – £6.99 but can be sourced at as little as £4 a bottle
Colour – The deepest red, like good furnishings.
Smell – Smoky.
Taste – Smooth with a slight spiciness.
Overall score – 5/5 Yes it's ACTUALLY perfect.Thanks you Patricia for the recommendation. Portugal is going to be on my holiday list!
She is doing a run with her cousins tomorrow for The Ickle Pickles
I'm super proud of them wanting to do something good 🙂
Share the love.
Good Manners Cost Nothing.

Some things never change. Not too long ago a very good friend of ours came to spend the weekend with us. I had to take a picture for a school assignment of something "exotic, humorous and mysterious. "...the results??.....we dressed up!
A grand time was had by all as I'm sure you can see by the light in our eyes. Ashley and my outfits were a couple of renaissance outfits we got from a friend, but Abbie's outfit ( last below) was made mostly from scratch at the time.
Abbie is wearing a petticoat from the past Victorian festival and a white Mexican dance blouse. Around her waist is a visor from a Battenberg lacy shower curtain as well as a pink scarf. In the end I did get my picture and we all had a lot of fun.

matchpathcon, matchpathcon_index - get the default SELinux security context for the specified path from the file contexts configuration.
#include <selinux/selinux.h> int matchpathcon_init(const char *path); int matchpathcon_init_prefix(const char *path, const char *subset); int matchpathcon_fini(void); int matchpathcon(const char *path, mode_t mode, security_context_t *con); int matchpathcon_index(const char *name, mode_t mode, security_context_t * con);
matchpathcon_init loads the file contexts configuration specified by path into memory for use by subsequent matchpathcon calls. If path is NULL, then the active file contexts configuration is loaded by default, i.e. the path returned by selinux_file_context_path(3). Unless the MATCHPATHCON_BASEONLY flag has been set via set_matchpathcon_flags(3), files with the same path prefix but a .homedirs and .local suffix are also looked up and loaded if present. These files provide dynamically generated entries for user home directories and for local customizations. matchpathcon_init_prefix is the same as matchpathcon_init but only loads entries with regular expressions that have stems prefixed by prefix. matchpathcon_fini frees the memory allocated by a prior call to matchpathcon_init. This function can be used to free and reset the internal state between multiple matchpathcon_init calls, or to free memory when finished using matchpathcon. matchpathcon matches the specified pathname and mode against the file contexts configuration and sets the security context con to refer to the resulting context. The caller must free the returned security context con using freecon(3) when finished using it. mode can be 0 to disable mode matching, but should be provided whenever possible, as it may affect the matching. Only the file format bits (i.e. the file type) of the mode are used. If matchpathcon_init has not already been called, then this function will call it upon its first invocation with a NULL path, defaulting to the active file contexts configuration. matchpathcon_index is the same as matchpathcon but returns a specification index that can later be used in a matchpathcon_filespec_add(3) call.
Returns zero on success or -1 otherwise.
selinux(8), set_matchpathcon_flags(3), set_matchpathcon_invalidcon(3), set_matchpathcon_printf(3), matchpathcon_filespec_add(3), matchpathcon_checkmatches(3), freecon(3), setfilecon(3), setfscreatecon(3)

On November 20, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled in favor of Gold Reserve, denying the Venezuela government's motion to dismiss or stay the proceedings regarding the petition to confirm the arbitral award dated September 22, 2014. In 2012, the company brought litigation against the Venezuelan government seeking compensation for the nationalization of gold assets in Venezuela.
The order confirmed the award and entered judgment for the company against Venezuela totaling $760 million. In a detailed 39-page memorandum opinion, the court considered and rejected each of the arguments raised by Venezuela in opposition to the petition to confirm. As far as Venezuela's request that enforcement of the judgment be stayed pending Venezuela's annulment application before the Paris Court of Appeal, the court rejected Venezuela's "effort to forestall defeat" and denied its request to stay enforcement.
"After a grand tour around the world of foreign and international law, the court ultimately holds that Gold Reserve may indeed have its award enforced right here in Washington [D.C.]," the court said. The judgment is immediately enforceable in the United States as a judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Gold reserve intends to vigorously pursue all available measures to enforce and collect on the judgment, in full. Venezuela has the option of appealing the judgment to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

Body shaming is something that has been widely discussed over the course of the last 5-7 years. As a society, it's slowly becoming less and less acceptable to body shame. In Carrie Fisher's case, she wasn't just body shamed, she was also age shamed. People were coming down on her for aging and becoming "softer" than he former 20 year old self.
This is something that hits close to home for all of us…
As a culture, we're expected to be bikini ready, age flawlessly, and always embrace our "true selves". How can we do the latter while doing the former? You can't always embrace your natural state if you're worried about how people will treat you if you're not bikini-ready. And let's also discuss that being bikini-ready shouldn't be a "thing". The idea that we don't look beautiful because we don't look like a Victoria secret model in a two-piece is an abusive social trend. These standards put WAY too much pressure on the average young woman. I can't even imagine what these standards do to the average aging woman, let alone the aging woman that was once a sex symbol among geeks of all kinds.
Why do we expect more from her?
This all boils down to people's perception of beautiful people around the world: beautiful people are inherently good, happy, generous, and age well. -This is obviously incredibly false. Beautiful people are human: they eat, they poop, they can be horrible, they can be wonderful, but most of all…they all age!
She IS our Princess Leia
A lot of "trolls" were commenting that it was almost as if our princess Leia (that we all know and love) was gone, and replaced by this older and "softer" looking woman. Well, trolls, do you think that Han Solo can be a grandpa-aged man, but Leia will stay in her 20's forever? -She's not a vampire, and Star Wars is Science Fiction, not Fantasy: people age in Star Wars. Take your vampire and werewolf anti-aging expectations elsewhere: you're in the wrong genre of geekdom.
Huffington Post covered a few of the hurtful comments that were tweeted directly to Carrie, and they also provided her classy shut down to all of the haters: "Youth and beauty are not accomplishments. They're temporary by-products [sic] of time and/or DNA. Don't hold your breath for either."
YESSSSSSSSSS. Thank you, Carrie Fisher, you classy classy woman. External beauty is NOT permanent, unless you're Cher. In her case, she's invested an immeasurable amount of money to appear as if father time has never been in her presence. Good for her, but also good for everyone else who greets him with grace.
Who says just because someone is a public figure that they have to invest money on anti-aging procedures? Shame on you, anti-aging trolls. Look to your parents and grandparents, and think about someone verbally attacking their physique, via social media, for altering over 40 years. It's cruel and COMPLETELY unacceptable.
What Carrie Fisher endured was horrifying. The original Star Wars movies came out 40 years ago. If anything, be impressed with the fact that she showed up to honor the original duo that is Luke and Leia. -Yes, she was every nerd's wet dream in the 70's: how does that mean she's not allowed to age as the rest of us do!? And why do nerds of 2016 expect hotness from someone who their moms and dads swooned over in the 70's?? -Your parents are old as fuck, why wouldn't a character from their era ALSO be aged??? -Keep this in mind when you allow your internal thoughts to become external thoughts. We're all human, it's not uncommon to think "holy crap… I didn't expect this character to age", but that's something we say to our friends, or keep to ourselves. Think before spewing hatred, Internet trollers.
Good for you, Carrie Fisher, for dealing with these cruel comments in such a classy way. I never took a liking to Princess Leia's character, but Carrie Fisher definitely has a fan in me. Bravo, Madam.
To Be Continued,

- This template adds a line below a warning to list: the original location (defaults to page-user's talkpage); original posting user; original posting time-and-date; and/or the diff of the original warning.
- This may be useful if you want to indicate the author and time-and-date of an unsigned warning; if you archive warnings off your talk page; or if you want to quote a warning anywhere else.
- This template takes four expected parameters (not required, but expected either in sequence or by named variable):
- location= The page where this warning was originally posted (without double-brackets). If you are using this template in your own userspace, for instance on your own /Warnings subpage, location defaults to your own talkpage. If you are using this template outside your own userspace, or referring to a warning posted on any other page, then specify the pagename (without double-brackets) as location=pagename.
- user= The username who posted it (without the "User:" prefix); if unsigned, see your talkpage history.
- time= The UTC time-and-date of the original warning, as seen first in its entry on your talkpage history.
- oldid= The "oldid=" number of the warning's diff, as seen in the URLs of the entry's "(cur)", "(last)", and time-and-date links.
- For the least typing, just provide the values in location - user - time - oldid sequence:
- Code:
- {{warningorigin|User talk:EVula|Ben|09:47, 26 February 2007|111045354}}
- Result:
- If the named variables are used, these don't need to be kept in the same sequence:
- Code:
- {{warningorigin|user=Ben|time=09:47, 26 February 2007|oldid=111045354|location=User talk:EVula}}
- Result:
- As long as the correct "oldid" is provided, the location is not really necessary:
- Code:
- {{warningorigin||Ben|09:47, 26 February 2007|111045354}}
- Result:
- If other values are left out, the template will simply bypass them:
- Code:
- {{warningorigin|User talk:EVula}}
- Result:
- —The preceding Warning was originally postedon User talk:EVula.
- If you want to have your own /Warnings subpage, you may also find {{warningsonsubpage}} helpful.

There's actually a veritable chance that I will have more time for blogging again in the next couple of weeks, and I still have some travel diary writing to do. I will mostly back-date these entries because in the future, I'd prefer to find them under the year/month that they actually happened, but I hope you'll give them a read if you're interested :)
For now, let's start with some super recent event - actually, this is just from today!
Today I went to Yuki Matsuri, a small convention in Vienna, with my boyfriend.
We met Dani and Margit from the local Lolita comm there and mostly spent time browsing the stalls. I ended up buying lots of stuff actually ;'D Porcelain Doll was there - a Lolita jewelry designer from Czech Republic, and she has such beautiful chokers and head wear! I bought two chokers (and embarrassed myself by miscounting my money, lol. I feel so bad about that X'D) and we took a photo together, like a Lolita group photo, as the four of us were (at least at that time) the only people in Lolita fashion at the convention :'D
Now, after our shopping spree, we chatted with one of the artists. Neophobica has such a versatile style, she has super cute and adorable characters, but also very dark, elegant illustrations. My boyfriend and I quickly made the decision to ask her for a portrait, as she offered commissions. So, we got the probably most amazing portrait of the two of us that will ever exist.
Anyways - it was a cool convention, I wish I had seen the program that I was interested in but ultimately I can say that for 10€ for a day ticket, I feel like I really had a blast, and also, I was super happy to have an opportunity to go out in Lolita and spend time with my boyfriend :3
I had a really rough time those last couple of months, constant stress and worry, basically one dead´line chasing the other since last September. There was little time to relax and have fun, and when I had free time I was just too exhausted to do anything.
Now, it seems like there is a little bit more free time ahead, and I already have many cool things planned, like going to some concerts this year and I really wanna attend more Lolita meet ups again :3
With that, I wanna wish you a nice week end!

What can you say about a man like Bill Emerson that hasn't been said?
Emerson, who will be 78 in January, is one of the most influential banjo players this side of Earl Scruggs.
His 60-year career in bluegrass began with Uncle Bob & the Blue Ridge Partners in 1955.
Two years later, Emerson joined with the late Charlie Waller and others to create The Country Gentlemen, one of the top acts in bluegrass.
In 1959, he began moving around. First, the Stoneman Family. Then, Bill Harrell, Red Allen, Jimmy Martin and Cliff Waldron's New Shades of Grass.
It was with Waldron in 1968 that Emerson's banjo turned Manfred Mann's folk-rock song, "Fox on the Run," into a bluegrass classic.
He returned to the Gentlemen in 1969 for four years and then began a 20-year career in the U.S. Navy, leading the Navy's bluegrass band Country Current.
Since his retirement from the Navy, Emerson has led Sweet Dixie.
"The Gospel Side" is his fifth album for Rural Rhythm.
Nine of the tracks — songs like "He Knows My Name," "Keep On The Sunny Side of Life" and "Little Stone Lambs" — were taken from previous albums.
Three — "What A Day," "Fifty Miles of Elbow Room" and "Drifting Too Far From The Shore" — were recorded for this album.
Vocals are provided by Tom Adams, Teri Chism, Wayne Lanham, Chris Stifel, Wayne Taylor, Randy Waller, Linda Lay and Lauren Mears.
Another good album by a master musician.

The narrative of two hopeless and disagreeable wedding visitors, Lindsay and Frank, who build up a shared friendship in spite of themselves.
Destination Wedding (2018) Full Movie Review:
Watching offensive characters onscreen isn't generally a fun activity, so throwing Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder is extremely shrewd. They're both charming. In their fourth film together, are plainly having an extraordinary science, and they prevailed upon me. Ryder is a skilled performing artist, and Reeves, figures out how to transform his mark woodenness into comic drama. Also, together? It's an intense power.

"Look past your thoughts so you may drink the pure nectar of this moment." - RumiAbout a week ago, I received a pair of Sutro Footwear leather booties from shoebizsf. Sutrofootwear is a San Francisco based company that sells beautiful handcrafted quality leather shoes for both male and female. Click HERE to check out their website and be prepared to be amazed by their shoe designs. My leather goodness is called the Young Lace-up Bootie and is in a gorgeous Redwood color. For today's post, I styled my outfit around these booties. I have on black pants, simple long sleeves tee and a maxi kimono. Added a belt around the kimono to add the illusion of a dress but the wind totally ruined that illusion. Threw on a dark brown hat and a yellow satchel to complete my some what bohemian look.
Happy Spring my fellow fashionistas.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Kobe Bryant has changed his look.
Gone is the teeth-baring, nose-flaring, eyes-on-the-prize scowl that the Los Angeles Lakers star showed again and again in Game 1 of the NBA finals. The intensity diminished after Game 2, his expression morphing into one of relief and sheer luck.
A botched layup by Magic rookie Courtney Lee is perhaps the biggest reason why these finals are not tied and why Bryant isn't smiling even with his team up 2-0. That level of seriousness might be cause for Orlando to grimace.
The Magic nearly returned from Los Angeles with the best-of-seven series tied. Instead, they're down 2-0, and now Bryant has a promise for Game 3 on Tuesday night.
"We're about to kick it up," he said. "You'd better believe it. We're close. You see what I'm saying? This is the finals. We're going to be ready to go."
For all the bravado, the Lakers can be careless, a team with holes and an inability to finish off an opponent as a champion must. They let Houston extend a series despite the absence of Yao Ming. Denver outmuscled and outhustled a Lakers team that seemed to lose its enthusiasm until Game 6 of the conference finals.
Los Angeles believes those days are over.
"We're playing tougher," forward Pau Gasol said. "We understand what it takes to go get the championship."
This is a franchise closing in on its 15th title. It is facing a Magic team still searching for its first finals victory. Bryants insists this is no time to get comfortable.
"What's there to be happy about?" he asked. "The job's not finished."
The Magic have had their shots - one in particular - to change the series.
Lee missed a wide-open, alley-oop layup that would have won Game 2 at the fourth-quarter buzzer Sunday night. It was another chapter in a long history of Magic misery, one that now has them 0-6 in finals games.
Call it the "alley-oops." This mistake, however, might hurt the most.
Orlando has been able to come back from seemingly every heartbreak this season - injuries, four last-second losses in the playoffs and series deficits in two rounds. But this could be too tough a challenge. Only three teams have won a title after losing the first two games in the finals, most recently Miami over Dallas in 2006.
"We've just got to go home and take care of business," Magic center Dwight Howard said. "The Lakers did a good job of protecting their home, and now it's our turn to do the same thing. We've been in some tough situations. We've just got to fight our way out."
Magic coach Stan Van Gundy led the Heat to start that 2005-06 season before stepping aside. He was still on the Heat payroll helping Pat Riley from afar.
"Dallas never won another game," Van Gundy said. "You know, series can change."
The Magic would need quite a turnaround. Their backcourt has been dreadful. Rafer Alston and Jameer Nelson, who returned for the finals after being out since early February because of shoulder surgery, were so inconsistent that Van Gundy benched them for most of the fourth quarter to have 6-foot-10 forward Hedo Turkoglu run the point.
The Magic had 20 turnovers, just 22 assists and no true ballhandler to make the Lakers pay for double-teaming Howard. With Nelson coming off the bench in place of reliable reserve Anthony Johnson and Alston having already said he wasn't pleased with his minutes in Game 1, Van Gundy might face another dilemma.
"We were just trying to see if we could get somebody out there who would make shots off of the double teams and off the pick-and-rolls and things like that," Van Gundy said. "I thought our guys fought hard, but we couldn't make enough plays. And the 20 turnovers crushed us."
The Lakers know the Magic, too, could change in a moment.
One of the streakiest teams in the league all season, Orlando has shot well at home. It plays with a carefree attitude, and Bryant says that's reason to be wary.
"This is a very loosey-goosey team we're playing against," he said. "You seen some of the shots they hit. Those are tough shots - supposed to be tough shots. For them it's like shooting fish in a barrel. They're just thinking about Game 3, and so are we."

How to Get Your Nonprofit Board On Board With Social MediaFundraising
Are your board members still doubting social media? Do they fail to "get it", even though you've built a thriving community on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook?
Well, take it from me, you're not alone.
But don't fret. Remember, board members are just like you.
Board members want the organization to have a bigger impact. But they want to proceed carefully and you want to dive right in. You're both on the same side.
So love your naysayers! And instead of sticking a pencil in your eye, try these tips for getting more nonprofit board support for social media:
1. Build your case
Use LinkedIn to research board members. Learn about their professional experiences, and what might be important to them.
Don't talk about cool Twitter tools or how awesome Snapchat is.
Instead, talk about how social media can help increase awareness and donor engagement.
2. Seek permission for a pilot
Some board members are risk averse. You know who they are.If this is the case, try presenting a pilot campaign that's focused on low-hanging fruit (achievable objectives) you've already identified.
If this is the case, try presenting a pilot campaign that's focused on low-hanging fruit (achievable objectives) you've already identified.
Once the pilot has been a success, leverage that achievement for greater buy-in.For example, if you can prove that
For example, if you can prove that smarter content marketing made the difference, get more resources (systems, money, time) for content marketing.
3. Focus on their objectives, not yours
Lowering your website bounce rate is not an objective board members will care about, or even understand.
Speak in terms of organizational objectives, like increasing donor retention and volunteer satisfaction.
4. Talk about your peers
An easy way to sway board members is to talk about the "competition"—organizations just like yours who are embracing social media in creative and powerful new ways.
Choose examples of recent campaigns, focusing on key takeaways that might apply to your next campaign.
5. Keep it simple
Powerpoint, less than 10 slides is perfect. AgoraPulse has a feature that turns Facebook Insights data into beautiful PPT presentations.
The key is to tell a story that board members can get behind.
Don't give up
You are smart and you are forward thinking. Give yourself credit, and don't give up!

After a two year development period, Akiko Audio has launched a power conditioner that doesn't rely on conventional power filtering techniques. Four internal units are responsible for an active reduction of high frequency noise. 'Power filtering is undesirable and should be avoided' says designer Marc van Berlo. ' The Corelli exclusively reduces noise, without any negative side-effects such as a loss of dynamics or an unnatural sound. This makes our product unique.' The Akiko Audio Corelli connects to the power strip or wall socket that your equipment is connected to. The power conditioner is named after the famous Italian violist and composer, A. Corelli. 'No coincidence' says the producer: 'the Corelli is able to render the high tones and rich sounds of violins and acoustic instruments exquisitely.'
Width 215mm, Length 311mm, Height 100mm
Weight: 6,3 kg
The Akiko Audio Power Conditioner Corelli is Hand Made.
All soldering is done with WBT-0800 Silver Solder.
Furutech IEC inlet with fuse holder.
Comes with an Audio Grade Hifi-tuning fuse with silver wire.

The game between MC Saida and USM Alger turned into a chaotic street fight when the Saida fans managed to get on the field and chase down the USM Alger players who themselves tried seeking the protection of their own traveling fans.
Unfortunate not all of them got the protection they needed as a few of them got injured. Laifaoui being the worst of the bunch after getting stabbed with a knife which missed his lung by a few centimeters.

deborah madison is one of my favorite cookbook authors. i have never made anything of hers that i didn't like. i mean, the good lady obviously loves her butter, so what is there not to like?! :)
normally i use the old standby, but her local flavors book is also a great treat, with beautiful photos of recipes organized by seasonal fare typically found at your farmer's market.
even though i hate the colder, darker days, i have to admit that i love dinner in the fall. everything becomes warm and hearty without being yet winter heavy.
strozzapreti ("priest stranglers") refers to the pasta's shape, which resembles folded and twisted ribbons of fettuccine. the strozzapreti i found at fairway was probably a little more twisted than what i'm used to but ms. madison also suggests gemelli if you can't find any.
ms. madison also suggests this serves 4 ... umm, maybe 4 paul bunyans. i did use a bit more pasta than her recipe (who buys 3/4 lb of pasta??) but even so, this pasta is quite rich, so it would easily serve 6, and maybe 8 if you had something else accompanying the dinner.
strozzapreti with black kale, sage, and potatoes: serves 6
adapted from madison's local flavors (2002, p. 101)
4 tb butter
3 large garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
10 sage leaves
2 bunches cavolo nero (black kale)
salt + pepper
2 cups finely diced yellow potatoes (about 3/4 lb)
1 lb strozzapreti
5 oz italian fontina cheese, cubed
freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano
1. bring large pot of water to boil. meanwhile, heat butter, garlic, and sage in small skillet over medium heat until butter is lightly browned and nutty smelling. turn off the heat and discard the garlic.
2. chop kale coarsely. when the water is boiling, add salt and kale. boil for 4 minutes, then add potatoes, and boil for 6 more minutes or until both are tender. scoop out, shake off excess water and reserve in bowl. in same water, cook pasta until al dente, then drain.
3. combine pasta, potatoes, and kale. pour the butter and sage over the mixture and using a pair of tongs, pick up some of the pasta to wipe out the butter pan. add the fontina and a generous grating of parmigiano, and toss well. season with pepper and enjoy!

the ER, daring bakers, and an award
if you are someone unlike me - someone who sees a deadline 30 days away and gets things done with 29 days left - then you wouldn't be writing this post.
but if you fall into the 30 days in advance means do it on day 29, well then a trip to the ER and a weeklong recovery means that the deadline is screwed.
such was my fate last week, which is why i do not have anything to share with you. natalie from gluten a go go and shelly from musings from the fishbowl picked an awesome recipe in peter reinhart's lavash crackers to be accompanied by a tasty vegan dip of one's choice.
what compounds my non daring baker misery is the fact that earlier this month lisa from magic sprinkles bestowed the brilliante award to me! even though i don't feel very brilliante right now, thanks lisa! now i'm supposed to pass on the award to 7 more bloggers. but i'm going to bend the rules and pass it along to the group of hundreds of amazing daring bakers. i've said it before, but every month they inspire me and humble me. so please, go check out these truly dynamite daring bakers!
best turkey burger for the end of summer
this relentless head sinus cold couldn't have come at the worst time - new york city weather has just been shamelessly gorgeous the entire week!!
but i've gone through three boxes of tissues. one pack of ricola and albuterol. lots of vitamin C and zinc. countless pill popping. add on to that ... the stress of getting everything ready for mr. mimi's big surprise party last weekend, all the math work i'm supposed to be doing for my economics class, the mess of papers on my desk (i hope there isn't anything important in that mail), i haven't played tennis in eons, i want to start training, et je veux prendre des leçons françaises ... what i need is a vaca and a detox, stat!!
well, the vaca is long over and the detox isn't going to be until next month. so i have to comfort myself by giving you a recipe to enjoy those last days of summer grilling. i have to admit that since i've been selectively eating meat again, the thing i seemed to most enjoy - you know, eating sensually with all five senses - were the hamburgers!
i never craved them before, but they were so good this summer, i just loved them. maybe it has to do with the context of lazy summer evenings with a grill and friends? how much of the food we like or don't like has to do with the memory of that food, with the context, with what we were doing or who we were with? it's like the memory of music, n'est-ce pas?
best turkey burger: serves 4
from martha's great food fast (2007, p. 123)
1 1/2 lbs ground turkey - note: try to get the best quality, from your local farm or farmer's market if possible, it truly does make a difference!
1/2 cup finely grated gruyère cheese
4 scallions, thinly sliced (we omitted b/c i hate scallions!)
1/4 cup dried breadcrumbs
1/4 cup dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
salt + pepper
vegetable oil for grill
1. heat grill to high. in medium bowl, use fork to gently combine turkey with cheese, scallions, breadcrumbs, mustard, and garlic. season generously with fresh salt and pepper. divide the mixture evenly and gently form four 1-inch thick patties.
mr. mimi tip: in order to avoid the shrunken flying saucer hamburger syndrome ... while forming the patty, press the middle so that it is thinner in the middle and wider on the outside. then when the meat contracts while grilling, it will shrink to a normal hamburger shape.
2. lightly oil the grill. place patties on hottest part; sear until browned, 1-2 minutes per side. move patties to cooler part of grill and continue grilling until cooked through, about 5-10 minutes each side.
salad days: mediterranean couscous and lentils
months ago the mimis were perusing the bulk items at fairway and came across lentils labeled "black beluga lentils." although they looked similar in shape and size as french green lentils, i wasn't sure what they would taste like. but with such a sexy name ... who in their right mind could refuse buying them?!
but then they languished on the pantry shelf, all pretty looking with nowhere to go. finally after a couple of days of takeout to compensate for a bare refrigerator, i was dying to make a home meal with whatever we had on hand. a little searching around epicurious and i found this wonderful, easy recipe.
mediterranean couscous and lentils: serves 6
from gourmet (sept 1995, via epicurious - click here)
1 cup lentilles du puy (french green lentils - or use black beluga lentils if you can find them!)
3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 1/4 cups water
1 cup couscous
1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large garlic clove, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves
1 bunch arugula, chopped (we only had some wild greens, but with some bitter herbs and arugula included so we thought it might work – probably better with all arugula though)
2 cups vine-ripened cherry tomatoes, halved (we used regular tomatoes, chopped)
1/4 pound feta, crumbled (about 1 cup)
1. in a small saucepan simmer lentils in water to cover by 2 inches until tender but not falling apart, 15 to 20 minutes, and drain well. transfer hot lentils to a bowl and stir in 1 tablespoon vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. cool lentils completely, stirring occasionally.
2. in a saucepan bring water to a boil and add couscous and salt. remove pan from heat and let couscous stand, covered, 5 minutes. fluff couscous with a fork and transfer to a large bowl. stir in 1 tablespoon oil and cool completely, stirring occasionally.
3. in a small bowl whisk together garlic paste, remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar, remaining 3 tablespoons oil, and salt and pepper to taste. stir lentils and dressing into couscous. chill salad, covered, at least 3 hours and up to 24. (note: we only chilled it to a warm room temp, for about 1 hour and it was still delicious!)
4. just before serving, stir in remaining ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
martha mondays: tomato tart
another round of martha mondays!
i hate the end of summer. shorter days, colder evenings. it all just means one depressing thing: crappy man winter is on its way. so you'll probably see me try to squeeze in every last drip drop of summer left here in the next couple of weeks. denial is a wonderful thing! ... and so is this tomato tart!
i bought martha's baking handbook back around the holidays last year, and this was one of the first things that caught my eye. the thought of using blah winter hydroponic tomatoes seemed a waste of the whole effort, and so i had to wait it out six long months!
there's nothing tricky about this tart, just your standard pâte brisée dough, tomatoes, garlic, fontina cheese, and basil for garnish. i haven't made dough in quite a long time so i decided to make it with half vegetable shortening, half butter to make it easier to work with (in case you're wondering, shortening doesn't melt so that's what makes it easier). but i still had problems rolling it out, mainly because it became a wee crumbly as i tried to stretch it to 13 inches. so the dough got manhandled when putting into the tart pan, although it still turned out pretty flaky. note to self: more practice with pâte brisée! hmm ... i see all sorts of pies in my baking future :)
you could say this is just a fancy pizza, and even though the preparation and assembly is easy, it is a bit of total time needed (with the garlic roasting, baking, and cooling). but pizza never looked so amazing, smelled so awesome, or tasted so delish! next time i will have to come up with a way to dry the tomatoes a bit before baking so that the crust can stay a little more firm. but make this your next lazy sunday and maybe you, too, will forget that cold weather is almost here.
it appears i also need more practice with my lovely camera and studio light set-up (there is no option for "natural" light since i ain't baking or cooking until well after sun down.) do you see all those blown highlights in the tomatoes and cheese?! ugh.
tomato tart: serves 4 as main (or 3 if you are anything like me!)
from martha's baking handbook (2005, p. 268)
1 head garlic
3 tb olive oil
1/2 recipe pâte brisée (follows)
3/4 cup grated fontina cheese
1 1/2 lbs ripe, firm tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
salt + pepper
12 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
1. preheat oven to 30F. place garlic on piece of aluminum foil; drizzle with 1 tb olive oil and fold foil to encase garlic, sealing folded edges well. place on baking sheet and roast until golden brown and top of knife easily pierces flesh, about 45 minutes. remove and let cool.
2. on lightly floured surface, roll dough out to 13 inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. remove excess flour and fit dough into a 10 inch fluted tart pan with removable bottom, pressing into edges. use rolling pin to trim dough flush with top edge of tart pan; chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
3. raise heat in oven to 425F. when garlic is cooled, squeeze cloves out of their skins and into small bowl. mash with a fork and set aside while tart shell is chilling.
4. spread roasted garlic evenly on bottom of tart shell. sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated cheese. arrange tomato slices in overlapping circular pattern on top of cheese, working from outside towards the center. season with salt and pepper. sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of grated cheese and drizzle with remaining 2 tb of olive oil.
5. bake tart until crust is golden and tomatoes are soft but retain shape, 45-55 minutes. cool on wire rack for 20 minutes. garnish with sliced basil leaves and serve warm. (you can make this a day ahead and reheat at 300F until warmed through.)
pâte brisée: full recipe (use half for tomato tart)
from martha's baking handbook (p. 224)
note: i used half shortening, half butter - but i'm giving the recipe as written
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
2 sticks (1 cup) butter, cold cut into small pieces
1/4 cup ice water, plus more if needed
1. combine flour and salt in food processor. add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some larger pieces. (to mix by hand, combing dry ingredients in bowl and cut in butter with pastry blender.)
2. with machine running, add ice water through feed tube in slow, steady stream, just until dough holds together without being sticky. do not process more than 30 seconds. test by squeezing small amount of dough together; if it is crumbly, add more water 1 tb at a time.
3. turn out dough and divide in half, shaping into flattened disk and wrapped in plastic. refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight. can also be frozen up to 1 month; thaw overnight in refrigerator before using.
salad days: classic chicken caesar
my motto: if i salad is complicated, it shouldn't be made. and if it isn't tasty, it's just a bunch of rabbit food. this caesar is perfect on both points. we forgot to make the croutons, but a little less carbo is always a good thing anyway.
chicken caesar salad: serves 4
adapted from martha's great food fast (2007, p. 119)
4 oz italian bread, cut into cubes
3 tb olive oil
4 chicken cutlets (each about 2-3 oz)
1 package romaine lettuce leaves (18-20 oz)
salt + pepper
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup soy mayonnaise
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 anchovy fillets, coarsely chopped (essential, not optional!)
1 small garlic clove
1. preheat oven to 375F. place bread on rimmed baking sheet. drizzle 2 tb olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. bake, tossing occasionally, until golden about 12-15 minutes. remove and let cool.
2. heat remaining oil in large skillet over high heat. season chicken with salt and pepper. cook until done, 1-2 minutes each side. remove and let cool. slice chicken crosswise into strips.
3. cut romaine hearts crosswise, wash and dry.
4. whisk together all ingredients for dressing until smooth (martha had you use a blender, but that is totally unnecessary).
5. toss all ingredients with a bit of drizzled dressing - a little bit at a time - caesar dressing is very strong and you won't need much for flavor. grate some extra cheese if you'd like on top of each plated salad.
salad days: light and easy
even though i'm currently a full-fledged omnivore, i still crave greenery and love having salads for dinner. here are two that were made quite a while ago, but would be perfect for the end of summer produce.
when mr. mimi first put some strawberries on one of our side salads, my first thought was creative but gross. and then i ate it. wowzers, i loved it. the sweetness complemented the tangy vinaigrette so well. and it felt so refreshing.
what i happily learned is you can basically add any fruit to a green salad and it is wonderful. this time we added nectarines to a romaine with tomatoes, avocado, red onion, and boca chick patties with a simple champagne vinaigrette for a big main salad. but really, you could use any summer fruits - plums and peaches (yumm, grilled peaches too) would be delicious!
another simple side salad we made was a mix of green and wax beans, tomatoes, and a spicy sesame-vinaigrette. if you've never used sriracha sauce, this is *the* spicy sauce - and now you can even get it on amazon! i bet you'll never go back to boring tabasco!
what do i think about sarah palin?
a family member has been forwarding me all sorts of anti-palin commentary. finally i responded with a snarky "i am probably not as anti-palin as you think" and i think she fainted with shock - you need to put it in the context that i am more left than most left democrats, and pretty much a diehard feminist - and she wrote back "but don't you think palin isn't ready to be president?"
i sat on it for a day and then this was my reply:
... actually i think the whole "ready or not?" question is not even necessary - and certainly ironic when it comes from obama supporters (not you specifically, i mean in general) who claimed the question was irrelevant for their candidate, but now somehow crucial for the republican side.
i have lots of opinions about this election, but they probably don't fall into the neat package that most democrats portray. and while it may grab headlines, i really can't take any author seriously when their title is "caribou barbie" - this is what represents meaningful conversation??! but then again, for most democrats - they actually don't want any meaningful debate, they just have knee-jerk reactions (democrats good, republicans bad) in which they'll believe anything that the left-side press will write.
honestly, of course i disagree with the vast majority of palin's beliefs, values, and positions on many issues. however, i think the democrats (or at least the left-side press) is rutting around for anything - which usually turns out to be nothing - to try to discredit her. and it's just not going to work. first, because the kind of stuff they are bringing up really doesn't matter. the hypocrisy of the democrats for what should be a "scandal" is embarrassing. and second, because what the democrat party fails to remember again and again is that not everyone in the country is a left democrat.
i think the party made a huge mistake when they didn't pick hillary to be the vp nominee. not only did she win 48% of the party itself, but she obviously won over people that palin is going to appeal to. could they not understand what the demographics in the primary results indicated? biden is just not going to be a match for that. that's the difference between the republicans and democrats - the republicans pick people to win, and the democrats pick people they like.
it doesn't say much when probably the only reason i'll vote along the democrat ticket this year is because of the supreme court justices and not because i actually want to vote for the democrat nominee. the democratic party had every single thing going for it this year to make it a real election, to bring real issues to the forefront. that they haven't done it thus far, and from the look of the stuff the left-side press is dishing out - they probably won't - is depressing.
but then again, two months is a long time and who knows what will happen! but if it continues like this and obama and the democrats that support him don't change their strategy, he will lose ...
i haven't gotten a response yet :)
update: her response was about the supreme court issue, which i agree is very important. but this was my reply ...
the problem is ... for most of americans - even women - the supreme court is not the most important issue. the more the democrats mention that, the more they are preaching to the choir and missing what palin appeals to. the thing is that pro-choice and pro-life are values that many voters won't cross. the republicans are smart enough to know that and they don't bother with that issue. instead, they go after the other "gray" issues which leave many voters undecided. i think the biggest problem with the democrats is they dismiss and devalue what palin brings to the republican ticket - it's easy to call her a "caribou barbie," no? - and they don't seriously look at what she's going to bring in areas like ohio and michigan. we watched bill maher last night and he made fun of her and her "small town" experience and values. what the democrats forget is that most of the nation does not live in LA or NYC. i'm not saying i agree with those experiences or values - but i don't underestimate them and i don't belittle them - because i know that the states that matter also live like that.

Project Planning and Management Decisions
The number of project planning and management decisions that are required to make a business opportunity turn into a successful project are numerous. In most instances, each decision will be the foundation for the following decisions that need to be made.
To begin with the project planning and management decisions, there must be a firm foundation for the following decisions to be set upon. To complicate matters, the business world does not wait for these decisions to encompass a great deal of time. This is where the project manager tools that arte available to the project manager play a significant part in being successful.
With the correct project management tools in place the project planning and management decisions can be implemented in the shortest time span. This will allow for the construction of the project plan to be completed so the deliverable can be on the market with the smallest amount of delay as possible.
The most often and productive project management tool used in the project planning and management decision making process is the use of project planning templates. This allows for the formal documentation of all the project process that is required in the modern business world.
The templates used in the project planning and management decision process include not only the project plan itself on the execution phase of the deliverable but many more. This should include the Resource Plan, Financial Plan, Quality Plan, Risk Plan, Acceptance Plan, Communication Plan, Procurement Plan, Tender Management Process documents, Statement of Work, Request for Information, Request for Proposal, Supplier Contracts, Tender Register and Phase Review Form of the overall planning process.
As evident by the long list of formal documents that must be created for each project, it is only a good business policy to make project planning and management decisions with the best possible project management tools that are at your disposal.
The thought behind the project planning and management decisions will weigh heavily on the outcome of your project. Once a path is chosen, then the use of project management tools make it possible to bring a deliverable to market as quickly as possible so you can grab the desired market share that is necessary for the project to become a success.

Lessons from Richie Incognito, Jonathan Martin and Public Reaction
- 1Share
|via cnn.com
The recent release of Ted Wills's report on Richie Incognito's bullying of Jonathan Martin brought workplace bullying to the forefront.
Sadly, what happened in the Dolphins locker room occurs far too often in our schools. In watching, listening and reading media and public reaction to the report, I've been shocked by how often I've heard the following two statements.
- People need to understand the context and the dynamics of a football team's locker room.
- Jonathan Martin will not be welcomed back into the Dolphins' locker room or any NFL team's.
Is it any wonder why schools have trouble preventing bullying and harassment when such drivel spews from the mouth of experts, former players and the common man?
Let's examine the two offending statements:
People need to understand the context and the dynamics of a football team's locker room. The actions of Incgonito and two teammates are never permissible. As an educator, I've heard similar statements echoed by parents, students and even teachers,"They're just teasing" or "Boys will be boys."
Whether it's a highly educated, intelligent 312-lb professional football player or a 65-lb, bespectacled, prepubescent boy doesn't matter. The treatment of Martin was offensive and unacceptable. Where Martin "should have the opportunity to pursue a career in the NFL without being subjected to harassment," students should be able to pursue their education at school and be who they want to be.
Jonathan Martin will not be welcomed back into the Dolphins' locker room or ANY NFL team's. Far too often the targets of harassment are vilified when they've done nothing wrong. According to Wills's report, "the fear of being labeled a 'snitch' or a 'Judas' played a role in Martin's decision not to report the abuse from his teammates. Martin believed that going to his coaches…meant risking ostracism or even retaliation from his fellow lineman." Attaching such a stigma to telling undermines everything we should stand for.
Like many schools, the Dolphins failed to protect the target of bullying. Organizations–be they Fortune 500 companies or elementary schools–must create a safe climate, one in which everyone is respected and where inappropriate actions are reported by either the bullied or by bystanders.
It's not enough to post anti-harassment posters and have a training session or two on proper conduct. Corporations and schools must establish a positive climate and culture where people can develop, be productive and pursue their dreams.

The Ghost Map, paperback and hardcover
Design by Ben Gibson
The paperback edition of The Ghost Map is a beauty, and is even more impressive in person. The title text is lightly embossed, and the small pink dot is spot varnish. I'll leave it to those with better typographic sensibilities and talents than mine to figure out if things are a bit too busy, and if the typeface used for the title seems a little out of sorts with the rest of the design. It seemed a little jarring to me, but I've only seen it once. Regardless: striking. Go check it out. Buy this book from Amazon.com
