So i would like to change my lifestyle, and incorporate juicing into it.
I have tried everything, and i don't think i want to do this as a 30 day diet, i would like to do this as a lifestyle if possible.
my family has a juicer, they don't use it very much, but i will start to, now that i am interested in this lifestyle and trying it out.
My questions are, How do i know what to juice, and what should i drink. I have a complete understanding that drinking the
"juice" is equivalent to eating a meal.
for example let's say for one day, how much juicing do i actually do. how many meals, and what different types of meals should i have.
Monday - What should i juice for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and is that enough? like what things should i juice, so that i don't get hungry an hour or two later and my stomach is rumbling making noises that people can hear.
how do you guys handle your juicing lifestyle, while at school and work?
where can i get juicing menus or schedules for weekdays.
I also heard that you can incorporate macro-nutrients into this lifestyle and that you don't have completely shut down
regular eating, for example perhaps two days a week, you can eat some regular food that you desire.

You may take it for granted that your company is a "small business." The distinction is important if you wish to register for government contracting as a small business. Once you register as a government contractor, you must adhere to industry size standards established by the U.S. Small Business Administration.
The SBA, for most industries, defines a "small business" either in terms of the average number of employees over the past 12 months, or average annual receipts over the past three years. In addition, SBA defines a U.S. small business as a concern that:
Is organized for profit;
Has a place of business in the US;
Operates primarily within the U.S. or makes a significant contribution to the U.S. economy through payment of taxes or use of American products, materials or labor;
Is independently owned and operated; and
Is not dominant in its field on a national basis.
The business may be a sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, or any other legal form. In determining what constitutes a small business, the definition will vary to reflect industry differences, such as size standards.
Size Standards
Since all federal agencies must use SBA size standards for contracts identified as small business, you need to select NAICS codes that best describe your business and then determine if the business meet size standards for the selected NAICS codes. Use our Size Standards Tool to find out if you qualify as a small business. Once you have determined you are indeed a small business, you can then register as a government contractor.

Awards and
These local students have recently distinguished themselves:
— Robert Leto of Schenectady has received The Teacher's College Scholarship for the 2012-13 academic year at Emporia State University in Kansas; and
— Vincenzo Polsinelli, Schenectady resident and Siena College senior recently organized and led a trip for Habitat for Humanity to Haiti. Polsinelli, a biology major, and seven other students, spent nine days in January volunteering in the small village of Fontaine. Fontaine is the hometown of former Siena student Pierre-Louis Joizil, who attended Siena on a scholarship after an earthquake-ravaged Haiti in January 2010.
The Siena students' main goal was to paint the newly constructed St. Gabriel Middle-High School alongside its students, who enjoyed working on their English in the process.
Polsinelli also worked with General Electric, which donated six solar panels, and Let's Share the Sun, an organization in Troy, that facilitates their installation in poor, disadvantaged areas of the world to bring electricity to Fontaine's school. The solar panels allow the Haitian students to use laptops that had been previously donated and to continue their studies at night. Solar lanterns were also donated so that students can bring electricity home to share with their families on a rotating basis.
Polsinelli plans to continue his relationships with Fontaine and return one day with medical experience, after going to medical school. He hopes to conduct research in the village and eventually create a clinic that will be run by the people of Fontaine.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Fontalloro is the yin to the Rancias yang. It is also characteristically beautiful, open and expressive at this stage.

CSO HRW Abuse Against Asian Domestic Worker in Saudi Arabia
Oct 05 2010
Download right click "save as"
Approximately 1.5 million women domestic workers, primarily from Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and the Philippines, work in Saudi Arabia. These workers, viewed at home as "modern-day heroes" for the foreign exchange they earn, receive less protection in Saudi Arabia than other categories of workers, exposing them to egregious abuses with little or no hope of redress. Domestic workers comprise less than a quarter of the eight million foreign workers in Saudi Arabia, but embassies from the labor-sending countries report that abuses against domestic workers account for the vast majority of the complaints they receive.
While many domestic workers enjoy decent work conditions, others endure a range of abuses including non-payment of salaries, forced confinement, food deprivation, excessive workload, and instances of severe psychological, physical, and sexual abuse. Human Rights Watch documented dozens of cases where the combination of these conditions amounted to forced labor, trafficking, or slavery-like conditions.

Tweak of the Week: Burn 100 Calories Anywhere
Exercise will help you reach your weight-loss goals — we know that. But a recent Scottish study of roughly 20,000 adults also found that exercise reduces stress, eases anxiety, fights depression, and boosts happiness and energy levels. The study found that participants could get these benefits with as little as one 20-minute workout per week.
While we recommend more than one workout per week for weight loss, anything is a good start. In fact, you don't even have to hit the gym to burn calories! The study found that almost any type of physical activity works: cleaning your house, gardening or brisk walking.
If you can't fit in a full-on workout, here's a list of activities that will burn around 100 calories. As an added bonus, most of these motions have to be done anyway, so by tweaking them just slightly you'll be burning more calories while cleaning your house, yard or car.
How to Clean and Burn Calories
Do these chores at a brisk pace. Try not to take breaks and use some elbow grease to get things sparkling. It might also help to turn on some tunes and time yourself, trying to do it a little faster each week.
Washing Windows — 30 minutes will burn about 150 calories.
Doing the Dishes — Skip the dishwasher and do them yourself to burn 75 calories in 30 minutes.
Rearranging Your Room — 30 minutes of moving furniture burns 225 calories.
Vacuuming — Burn about 100 calories in 30 minutes.
Painting — Tired of your beige bedroom? Pick a new color and burn roughly 100 calories per 20 minutes of painting (think Karate Kid).
Outdoor Fat-Burning
Cutting the Grass — Mowing the lawn will burn 160 calories in 30 minutes, as long as you're pushing the mower yourself.
Washing the Car — Burn about 150 calories in just 30 minutes (bikini optional).
Gardening/Raking Leaves – The digging and raking you do are big-time calorie burners. You can burn up to 100 calories in just 15 minutes!
Biking — A leisurely bike ride (approximately 10 mph) will burn more than 100 calories in 40 minutes. Grab the family and get pedaling!
Swimming — No need to go all Michael Phelps here. Just a 15-minute slow swim will burn about 100 calories.
Frisbee — A fun 30-minute Frisbee toss with your kids or friends will burn about 100 calories and hardly seem like exercise at all.
Pushing a Baby Stroller — Pushing a stroller burns about 60 calories in 20 minutes. Don't have a baby? I'm sure your relative, friend or neighbor will be happy to lend you theirs.
Walking — It's one of the simplest ways to burn calories because you don't need anything to get started. Fifteen minutes of brisk walking will burn approximately 100 calories. A brisk daily walk at lunch time or after work will make a difference.
Dancing — Who doesn't love to shake it? 20 minutes of dancing at a moderate pace will burn 100 calories. As Lady Gaga says, "Just Dance!"
*All of these numbers are based on a 150-pound individual.
MASTER THE BASICS! That's the golden rule for success in school, in business, in golf, in tennis, in exercise, in life and in nutrition.
I have learned that anything and I mean ANYTHING that claims to be the only way - my way or the highway - the only real way to get a result is a red flag! In nutrition there are basics - beyond that you need to know your body, know how certain foods work with or against you and how to change it all based on your current health conditions and physical goals- which are always changing by the way.
The basics, such a boring concept and yet the only way to begin.....
Basic Nutrition 101
• If you know the difference between the produce isle of your grocery store and the boxed/canned food isles you understand clean eating. Foods that are in their most natural state are clean.
An apple is found in produce isles, applesauce is found in the jar isle and apple cinnamon honey buns are found everywhere in the store!
• If you understand that sugar is an addictive substance you'll understand that the first week of avoiding sugar will leave you feeling worse than eating sugar!
I cannot tell you how many conversations I've had with people who say they can't lose weight because they can't stay away from sugar! They start a diet plan and 3 days later they feel terrible so they decide they CAN'T live like that. Let's be real- you won't be living "like that". You are in DETOX! Detox sucks!
Any food/drug/substance that leaves you feeling like a strung out crack addict if taken away isn't good for you! If I took away green beans or asparagus or lettuce from your diet you wouldn't immediately go into fits of rage, angst and anxiety! Let me take away your pot of coffee, cigarettes, Hostess cup cakes, Oreos, or sodas and look out!
Starting to get the picture?
• If you understand that your inner body NEEDS the 3 nutrients (Protein, Carbohydrate, Fat) every day to function and rebuild itself, to ward off disease, to feel alive and be healthy, you will know what to eat.
If you don't "get" what food is included in the nutrient groups I bet you can Google/Bing it, or look through one of your 50 diet books in the house! You can also make it super simple and go back to the 75 years old diet tip: Shop the Walls! That's the produce, bulk grains, meats sections. It's all right there! That your basic diet! You can even get my eBook if you really want some help".Those are tools to get the message out about the 3 nutrients we all need.
• If you get that a 250 pound man and a 150 pound woman cannot eat the same calories in a day you understand calorie restrictions.
If you sit down to a meal and you are with a member of the opposite sex you cannot eat exactly what they eat. One of you will have too many calories! - (Actually in today's world both of you are probably eating too many calories!) It's not a contest people and there is no prize for you ladies when you match your hubbies roll for roll! Ooohhh! There's a visual to remember - If you ladies match your male counterparts roll for roll (bread) you'll match his roll for roll (belly!)! I like that one!!
• If you log for a week what you currently eat (and you are either currently gaining weight or having no success in losing weight) you will know how many calories you need to cut.
Yes there is a scientific formula - yes its eventually a good tool to use but for Nutrition 101 you don't have to understand it or even count the calories to lose weight!
Log the foods you eat everyday for 7 days without trying to reduce anything. This is a picture of calories that are over your bodies needs to lose weight. The simplest thing to do is reduce the amount of those foods the next 7 days - you may even eliminate some of them altogether. There's your caloric reduction. It may not get you the body you want but it will get you off the "gaining weight" cycle. Simple math. Now it does get tricky based on individual responses to certain types of foods but for 101 - that's a good starter plan.
Remember years ago when Bob Greene was on Oprah and Oprah declared an "AHA" moment in her dieting quest? She said: I had an AHA moment and realized that I can't eat past 7:30pm. Bob Greene (her Trainer) quickly added that 7:30pm wasn't the magic time/number. He said its 2 hours before YOUR bedtime. The world went insane and once again took it all out of context. In a matter of 3 seconds of Oprah's AHA statement the world stopped listening and never heard what the trainer said to clarify. I have clients to this day that bring up the 7:30pm cut off time for food. I'm not even a big believer in that food cut off anyway" It's WHAT you eat if you eat after dinner. The problem is not the "eating itself" and then heading to bed .It's WHAT you eat. Again"I dare anyone to prove that having raw veggie sticks just before bed is a sure way to gain weight or belly fat. My point here is that more than likely 90% of what you think you have read or heard is out of context.
So, if you've gotten this far in my soapbox nutrition rant I applaud you! You have hopefully had at least one AHA moment yourself. My goal today was simply to make you hit PAUSE on your brain. I want you to stop going in circles and I want you to stop telling yourself that you don't know what to eat to be healthy. YOU DO! I know you do! Unless you have lived in a bubble you KNOW WHAT TO EAT! You may need further assistance developing a program that is suitable for your goals and body type and metabolism and current health but you do not need all that until you are living by the Nutrition Basics I've outlined. Everything else, all the details of your nutrition plans will be based on these basics!
Can diet foods make you fat? I realize that this sounds like a contradiction, but the diet industry is like that. You need to come armed with some savvy to weed through the hype. Just look at what happened in the 1980s, when "fat-free" was a fad.
"Fat-free" appeared on all types of foods, and consumers (not surprisingly) assumed that fat-free meant calorie-free. Au contraire! For example, fat-free cookies have just as many calories as the original, maybe even more.
Some health experts link the "fat-free" craze to the explosion of obesity in the U.S., and certainly consumers are confused about what's best, fat-free, carb-free, high protein, etc. Bottom line: You need to read the top line on the nutrition facts panel. Calories do count. Read the number of servings in the package or container, and then read calories per serving. When you know what you're eating, it all adds up.
The Skinny on "Diet Foods"
All foods can fit into a healthy diet in the correct portion size. Even healthy foods can be "fattening" if you eat too much of them. Here's the skinny on some "diet" foods you'd think would help you with your diet:
Juice: You've seen the ads: "100% pure juice with live enzymes and packed with vitamins and minerals." It is often labeled with claims for weight loss, increased energy and better immunity. Let the buyer beware! To balance the scale in your favor, consider this: People suffering a low blood glucose reaction are given juice because the fruit sugar (fructose) is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream.
Juice is not a diet food unless you're on a weight gain diet. It's one of the quickest ways of getting extra calories I know. Juice is extracted from the whole fruit; the beneficial fiber is left behind. Regardless of how pure the juice, it contains no inherent properties that will make you healthier or make you lose weight. Peel and eat an orange instead. See below for a tip about juice.
Enhanced Waters: Diet myths abound, displayed on labels of enhanced waters and sports drinks. Drink this for "energy, balance, performance." I want to paste 'Buyer Beware!" signs on the labels. These waters and flavored teas are certainly fortified" with caffeine and sugar, plus high-fructose corn syrup.
Before reading the front label and advertising hype, read the ingredient list. If you?re working out strenuously for more than an hour at a time, then a sports drink is OK, but choose one with less than 8 grams of sugar per serving. If you prefer, buy an artificially sweetened beverage.
Otherwise, drink water before, during and after exercising. Adding just a quarter-cup of 100-percent orange or grapefruit juice and a dash of salt to a quart of water makes the perfect sports drink.
Turkey Burgers: When dining out, have you ordered a turkey burger while your friends are all having steak? You may think you're eating diet food, but you may be better off with that sirloin. Turkey breast is an ultra-lean protein, but most restaurants don't serve ground turkey breast; rather, they serve ground turkey in their burgers, which likely contains the more fatty dark meat and even skin. Restaurant turkey burgers are also enhanced with mayonnaise and even cheese.
If you can't be certain the turkey burger is made from skinless turkey breast, order a grilled chicken breast sandwich or grilled fish sandwich sans mayo and cheese.
Breakfast cereals: Eating breakfast is one of the lifestyle habits that predict weight loss and maintaining that desired weight. I love my cereal in the morning, but exploring the cereal aisle can be a confusing experience, especially for dieters. Don't read the front of the package to get the scoop on cereals. Read the back first, namely the ingredient list and the nutrition facts panel.
Cereals labeled "smart" or "whole grain" or "fruit" are not necessarily smart for your waistline or your health. Often they contain a bit of whole grain, but there is no limit on the other ingredients, including sugar. Here's a tip: The first ingredient should be whole grain: whole wheat, whole oats, rye or other. Read the nutrition facts panel and note the serving size. The standard serving size is 3/4 to 1 cup, and you make your decision from there.
If one serving contains more than 4 to 8 grams of sugar (1 to 2 teaspoons), then move on. Kashi GoLean, Shredded wheat, All Bran cereals, Fiber One, unsweetened muesli and granola (fat-free) are good choices. Watch out for "code words" that mean sugar and fat have been added. Cereals that are labeled "Crunchy," "Frosted," "Honey" or "Honey Nut" may have more sugar added.
Add your own sugar; don't let the manufacturer add it for you. For example, a 1-cup serving of Cheerios with a half-cup of nonfat milk has 150 calories. A 3/4-cup serving of Cinnamon Toast Crunch has 170 calories; a smaller serving for more calories. Not a bargain.

Hi Everyone - - Another week closer to our goals - How is your HEALTHY eating coming along?Are you eating too many "healthy" nuts BECAUSE THEY ARE "GOOD FOR YOU"? What about healthy avocadoes, are you eating maybe ½ of an avocado, instead of a ¼ or less? Are you juicing only high fructose fruits because they are good for you but not adding protein? Are you buying expensive frozen yogurts because they have yogurt in the name? Or what about that fancy high calorie coffee drinks? Some foods off the top of my head that are "healthy" that I see on food journals but not necessarily going to get you closer to your goals of losing fat can include Trail Mix, Dried Fruit, Whole fruit juices, whole fruit jams and Frozen Yogurt.
Let's take a closer look at frozen yogurt.... Healthy - yes - but......when I compare the nutrition facts- In a ½ cup of yogurt vs. ½ cup of frozen yogurtSugar – Frozen Yogurt has 20g and Yogurt has 4.5gCalories- Frozen Yogurt has 100-120 and Yogurt has 75Protein- Frozen Yogurt has 3g and Yogurt has 10gSo for the calories I am much better off getting a lot more nutrition for less sugar in regular greek yogurt.
Question: What food or foods am I NOT willing to sacrifice or give up".. for the jeans challenge?
In a resent blog - a challenger wrote......
"One of the happiest days of my life was when I found out that chocolate (yes, chocolate!) was actually good for me. The rich, creamy candy I'd been surreptitiously snacking on since I was a kid was packed with heart <http://www.webmd.com/heart/picture-of-the-heart> -healthy antioxidants.
I gleefully loaded up my shopping cart with bars and bags of chocolate -- dark, of course -- and gorged myself silly.
Then I came to another realization. Dark chocolate, though undoubtedly healthy in small quantities, happens to also be loaded with sugar and fat. I owed my thighs a sincere apology".Think through your food choices.Do you rationalize eating foods that are "healthy" but may also be the very foods that are keeping you from fitting into your thermometer jeans?
Cheers - Patty
How do people successfully lose weight
and maintain that loss? To answer that question, the National Weight Control Registry (NWCR) tracks successful weight losers--individuals who have lost at least 30 pounds and kept it off for more than 1 year. Common behaviors that these individuals share include monitoring weight and food intake, maintaining a low-calorie and low-fat diet, eating breakfast almost every day, engaging in 1 hour of physical activity daily and limiting television viewing to 10 hours or less per week (NWCR).
Here are some tried-and-true weight management methods that may help your clients.
1. Monitor Weight and Food Intake
People who weigh themselves regularly are more successful at weight loss and weight management, as the monitoring process allows them to make adjustments if weight begins to creep back (Butryn et al. 2007). Since many people grossly underestimate the number of calories they consume, a record of food intake can be a useful management tool. Becoming more mindful of what, when, why and how we eat is important for changing and maintaining behaviors.
Weight Control Tip. For consistency, choose a day and time to weigh yourself weekly, and tune in to how your clothes fit each day. For people who are just starting out, it's wise to record daily dietary intake in order to learn about eating habits, triggers and where adjustments can be made. As weight is lost and new behaviors become habits, this may not be as necessary. Use a reliable online food record or a simple spiral notebook.
2. Adopt an Effective Eating Frequency & Pattern
When and how often one eats may determine weight. Studies show that eating four or five small meals/snacks throughout the day is associated with lower energy intake and reduced or no obesity risk, and eating less or more than this may actually increase the risk of obesity (Forslund et al. 2005; Ma et al. 2003), perhaps more so in men than women (Westerterp-Plantenga et al. 2003; Drummond et al. 1998). In addition, skipping breakfast is associated with a higher body mass index and increased obesity risk (Ma et al. 2003; Cho et al. 2003).
Weight Control Tip. Spread calories throughout the day. If you don't eat breakfast, start eating a single item, like a carton of low-fat yogurt or a banana, within 1 hour of waking and then aim for a daily high-fiber breakfast made up of two to three different food groups.
3. Control Portions
Paying attention to portion size is a proven strategy that can help people reduce energy intake and lose weight. Eating slowly and savoring the food will help control appetite and calorie intake. Shoveling food rapidly into the mouth blocks the body's natural appetite control process.
Weight Control Tip. Retrain skewed perceptions of what a serving is by measuring food for a few days with help from your hand: 1 cup = size of medium fist; serving of meat = medium-sized palm; cheese serving = two fingers; and a serving of oil = thumb tip. Teach yourself to slow down by choosing one meal a day (or week) that you purposely enjoy slowly, while sitting at a table.
4. Fill Up on Less
Increasing intake of nutrient-rich foods like fruits and vegetables is a positive strategy for controlling portions. Thanks to water and fiber, low-caloric-density foods offer larger portions with fewer calories, so you fill up without filling out. Examples include fruits, vegetables, beans and soups. High-fiber foods also slow digestion and absorption and stabilize blood sugar, which helps control hunger and further aids weight loss.
Weight Control Tip. Fill up on nutrient-rich, high-fiber foods to satisfy hunger and reduce caloric intake. Adults should aim for 25–35 grams of fiber per day and increase gradually. To control calories, choose fresh, frozen or canned fruits without added sugar over fruit juice and dried fruits.
Barefoot training has recently experienced a surge in popularity and has been shown to improve foot mobility, stability, and activity. Additionally, it has been linked to increased lower limb muscle firing and greater muscle activation patterns through the kinetic chain. In some cases, there is evidence that barefoot training can even decrease lower extremity, hip and low back pain.
When you go barefoot, your movements become the movements of a child—playful and sensitive, yet purposeful and confident. You experience the unbound joy of stepping, hopping, and running across any surface on earth, simply to get from here to there.
Vibram FiveFingers® allow you to relive that sensation. Unlike conventional shoes that insulate you from your surroundings, FiveFingers footwear deepens your connection to the earth and your surroundings. FiveFingers enhance your sense of touch and feel, while improving foot strength, balance, agility, and range of motion. Because wearing Vibram FiveFingers is so close to going barefoot, you'll enjoy the health and performance benefits of barefooting without some of the risks.
Outdoor enthusiasts have found FiveFingers to be the ideal crossover shoe for multiple sports and activities—from ChiRunning and bouldering to kayaking and windsurfing. Fitness enthusiasts use FiveFingers for core strength training, yoga and Pilates. Our customers continually discover new and creative uses for our alternative performance footwear.

(This statement is part of a Participation Agreement that all of the Society's core affiliates sign.I hope that you will read it carefully.Your comments are welcome. Please post comments you feel will contribute to a quality public dialogue below. You may send any questions or private comments to me personally at
While GO Society's associates and fellows agree to support the Society's purpose, we come to our organizational work from different disciplines, different sectors, different functions, different roles and levels of organizations, and different interests in improving organizational effectiveness.
What we hold in common is appreciation, knowledge, and experience in a systems approach to designing and managing organizations that is based on foundational concepts about understanding and organizing complexity in work settings developed by Lord Wilfred Brown and Elliott Jaques. This approach, over the years variously called "The Glacier Project", "Stratified Systems Theory", and "Requisite Organization" includes well-defined, researched, and tested concepts of levels of work complexity, levels of human capability, accountability, and effective managerial leadership practices.
We recognize the discovery that organizational systems have a direct and substantial impact both on the personal achievement of people at work and on the capacity of organizations to create wealth for society, and that as a consequence of this the design and implementation of such systems carry strong moral and ethical implications.
While we all appreciate this systems approach and these concepts, we again differ as to which and how many of the concepts we emphasize in our individual practices and how we may integrate them with other theories and skills that we use in our organizational work.A few examples:
In summary, we all have and celebrate our own educational foundations, skilled knowledge, and experience in improving organizations, and in this document we all agree to our common science based principles and concepts described above in general terms.
We also agree to participate in a continuing dialogue on the continuous evolution of these ideas both in a private area of the web and in face-to-face meetings, helping GO Society associates and fellows to come to broad agreement on what specifically is included and is not included in this commonly held requisite approach, and what we should encourage all Society affiliates to endeavor to master.
Wilfred Brown and Elliott Jaques spoke and wrote about their original concept breakthroughs as "The Glacier Project".
Do CEOs with foresight choose requisite organization, or
does requisite organization support executives in appropriate corporate foresight?
or both?
Requisite organization principles describe how Presidents at stratum V, EVPs at VI, and CEOs at VII ought to be capable of working on longer term tasks of 5-10, 11-20, and 20 + years to properly implement the organization's strategy.
Yet at the World Future Society* conference in Boston, July 7-10th, where future is defined as beyond five years, while there were many smart, grey haired people there I got the impression that a small minority of the many workshops were targeted at organizational settings and that a small percent of attendees or presenters were corporate executives.
Several futurist elders claimed that their organizational clients were interested in nothing beyond three to five years -- normally the work of vice-presidents. A popular futurist speaker being recruited to shake up a major conference of European CEOs said he was told that his talk had to be about short term shocks.
A major WFS conference focus was on the rapid rate of technological change, methods to forecast that change and the approaching Singularity when computers are predicted to be more powerful than human brains. However several presenters on these topics said that their methods were of interest mostly to senior engineers and attempts at introduction often lacked the support of VPs.
It appeared that much environmental scanning work important to effective strategic planning is being out-sourced to major consulting firms. Internal staff who prepare such scans in several global corporations reported their role was three levels from the top, that their outputs were power point presentations, that they did not know how or if they were used. They received few questions or feedback on their work.
One panel of corporate futurist staffers reported that none of them had any direct knowledge about how many hours or days their company's top team spent discussing the future and indicated that their impression was that top teams dealt extensively with shorter term operational problems.
Why are the futurists in such despair about corporate interest?
Are structural features of the trading of public companies and other forces causing senior executive work to be compressed?
Are CEO sponsors of major requisite organization projects different in their long-term orientation?
Sir Roderick Carnegie, long-term CEO of CRA said that he was searching in the mid 1970s for a management approach that would help transform Australia's labour relations and competitive position in the world. Other CEO sponsors of long-running RO projects have expressed similar long term views.
Or does requisite organization structure enable executives to do their appropriate longer term work?
Your comments are welcome.

A small group of passionate practitioners who want to change the world!
Stage One
For seven years we've worked hard and had some fun while building strong foundations for the society's future work.
We've established our legal structure, governance, banking, payment systems, insurance, auditors, by-laws, and policies in Toronto. We also established a legal office, bank account, a payment processor and an Amazon.com store, all in the USA to better serve that market and the world in US currency with world-class fulfillment services. And we have Ken Craddock's extraordinary comprehensive bibliography of our field and an enviable collection of donated books, articles, dissertations, videos of practitioner interviews and presentation -- all available 24-7 to the world through our web site.
Our accomplishments have earned broad credibility and built trust among our affiliates and corporate and university co-sponsors. These good works include three world conferences, two in Toronto in English, and one in Buenos Aires innovating with simultaneous translation and using SKYPE video to offer virtual speakers. Other accomplishments include a variety of special events, executive briefings, public professional development workshops, teaching clinics and video interviews with senior practitioners on four continents. We've published a major book and built a second-generation web site that can now support our substantial library resources, events, journals, on-line professional development programs, database management, emailing, surveying and on-line store sales.
Stage Two?
What will stage two look like?
What's desirable and possible given the environment and our vision, energy, capability and resources?
At this point, we need to refine and align our vision and goals, build a more robust and sustainable business model, and develop activities that engage, develop and support our affiliates at a higher level.
The board is scheduling a number of strategic discussions with consultation and input from our ABC (academic, business user, and consultant) affiliates leading up to our Organization Design Summit, October 22-25th .
Through our ABC synergies, we have amassed a mountain of resource materials. However, some say that our resource library is overwhelming and that they don't know where to start.
So for the time being we are beginning to organize our web site in three different ways:
Over the next five or so months we will be organizing new special interest web pages, and inviting you to participate in on-line discussions, surveys, and teleconferences as the board continues its strategic discussions.
Soon, we will invite you to log into the society web site and to edit your registration / profile to indicate your interest in the above special interest groups.
We have been busy these last few months designing our new society web site.
It's a Beta version and we should have Stage I complete and debugged in a couple of weeks.
Take a look and let me know what you think by November 30th.
What to expect from Stage I?
All the old material from our current site has been moved over and some new material has been added.
New features include:
Any and all comments will be helpful on:
Your comments best by November 30th, but we will keep making improvements and welcome anytime.
Then we'll be working on Stage II through April 30th - much more functionality and special features including member only collaborative projects and on-line learning modules.
Best wishes,
You will need to create a free account to view videos or download digital materials.

Hey Ya'll! Check out CodePen
I'm happy to announce that a new app that I'm working on with Alex Vazquez and Tim Sabat is ready for a little public Alpha action:
I'd love for all you lovely forums folks to check it out. This is just for you, we're not announcing it anywhere else (kind of a small public launch for now).
The idea is a cross between jsFiddle (building demos for education, bug reporting, funzies, etc) and Dribbble (exploration, inspiration, social, etc).
Fair warning: We really mean alpha. There will be rough edges and the feature set is very far from complete. But the team and I were very anxious to get some people using it to help us find bugs and let us know features you think would be cool.
We would love to get your feedback here or at our feedback form.
Oh, and post the awesome pens you build here so I can feature them on the homepage!this looks lovely :) i feel like working on aptana :PVery nice!Love it. Left feedback. Great Stuff, can;t wait to see the improvements in beta.I like the color xD
But when I save or reload the pages of my work, the results below does not loaded properly except when I start type something.Oh, and also, I hope you will add some features such as undo and redo.
Hehe :p
http://codepen.io/pen/14/2Love it!
Only quarms are that a js resource isn't loaded as default - had me stumped for a minute. Also that I can't type #.
Other than that it worked flawlessly.
Codepen example
jquery isn't my forte, dont judge : )Looks really nice so far!
I'm gonna have a good poke around it once i get home from work!The realtime update is very nice. Can I ftp from here? -=opDelete, Set as Base, or switch between revision URL.
Hmmm... that's my dream.my first attempt of CSS3 progress bar (sort of responsive, using %)
http://codepen.io/pen/krsiakdaniel/css3progressbar/12Breadcrumbs trick I use every time: http://codepen.io/pen/JamyGolden/1/2
Yes yes, IE7 doesn't support pseudo elements. I generally add IE7 styles and replace the breadcrumbs seperator with a border. It can be a good seperator and I think IE7 users get a great fallback.You guys aren't using the inbuilt -prefix-free option!
Also, CodePen seems to be having some issues with CSS animations.@joshua
I tried that but do not quite get how it works@krysak4ever Tick the -prefix-free option, and then don't use any prefixes when writing your styles (i.e.linear-gradient
instead of-webkit-linear-gradient
instead of@-webkit-keyframes
).ok, thanks
will check that outLooks HOT!Ohh thank you very much Chris for such BIG public work!!!Super cool looking, and I love the horizontal split!
I do wish there was some live JSLint/JSHint error reporting though, much like at jsbin. Would be super helpful to not have to swap windows just to locate an error.wow this is cool!
I will definitely use this a lot in the future!Game I made for my javascript class, the game of 15. Shift the tiles around to arrange them in numerical order.
http://codepen.io/pen/monstersaurous/gameof15/9Chris this is amazing, great work!! already started having fun with it. http://codepen.io/pen/142/1What happened to it?VERY sorry about this. It's been down about a week as we do unplanned move to new architecture. Definitely wasn't the plan. We just need to get it done before a more public Beta.The css is not working for me. Am I doing something wrong?

Fresh Salmon Salad with Homemade Boiled Dressing
Homemade Boiled Dressing
Fresh Salmon Salad
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...We're heading for the coast today. Pollen counts here in the valley are fearsome and a day of ocean breezes will help clear the head and get the holiday weekend off to a rousing start. I've organized a potluck of sorts and my contribution to communal feast is going to be a salad made with cucumbers and freshly poached salmon. This is not wedding or garden party food. The salmon will be served in chunks that are lightly tossed with a homemade boiled dressing and it will be accompanied by a selection of breads for those with trenchermen appetites or carb cravings. I made the dressing yesterday and it is happily chilling in the refrigerator. The salmon and I are communing as I write this. Once it is done, I'll break it into chunks and refrigerate it as well. My plan is to combine and toss the various elements of the salad just before serving. The combination is lovely and I plan to use the extra dressing for other salads this weekend. Mine will be just one of many dishes that we share today and I'm really looking forward to sampling all of them. Here are the recipes for the boiled dressing and the poached salmon salad. I know that those of you who try them will be really pleased with the results.
Boiled Dressing...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
1 tablespoon flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/4 cups milk
3 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons butter
1) Combine flour, sugar and salt in a heavy saucepan. Gradually whisk in milk.
2) Place over medium heat and cook, stirring, until mixture starts to boil. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
3) Gradually stir the hot mixture into the egg yolks. Pour back into saucepan.
4) Add vinegar and mustard. Stirring constantly, bring mixture to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in butter. Cool to room temperature. Refrigerate. Yield: 1-1/2 cups.
Fresh Salmon Salad...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
3-1/2 pound piece fresh salmon
1/2 lemon sliced
1-1/2 tablespoons salt
6 whole black peppers
1 bay leaf
Tops from 2 celery stalks
1-1/4 cups boiled salad dressing
1-1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoon fresh snipped dill-half that if using dry
1-1/2 cups peeled cucumbers cut in 1/4-inch dice
Optional garnishes
Leaf lettuce
Tomato wedges
Lemon wedges
Sliced cucumber
1) To make salmon: Wash salmon. Place in large kettle or fish poacher. Add just enough water to cover. Add sliced lemon, salt, black peppers, bay leaf and celery tops. Slowly bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer covered for 30-35 minutes, or until fish flakes when tested with a fork. Using a slotted utensil, carefully remove salmon from water and transfer to a plate. Let cool until it can be handled. Remove and discard skin and any bones. There should be about 2-1/2 pounds of salmon remaining. Break into large chunks and chill for several hours.
2) To make dressing: Combine boiled dressing, lemon juice, dill and diced cucumbers in a medium bowl. Mix well and chill for at least one hour.
3) To serve: Just before serving toss salmon with dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Line a bowl or plate with lettuce. Mound salmon in center. Garnish as desired. Yield: 12 servings.

I haven't seen a recipe for boiled dressing in ages. Just perfect for that gorgeous piece of salmon, Mary. Have FUN!!!

Mary, Great Salad! Relatively healthy too...with the salmon to satisfy someone like myself who really isn't crazy about any meal without meat or seafood. I could eat this once a week! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

I hope you had a good time! I could have this salmon salad every day for lunch and never get tired of it!

I've only used boiled dressing in coleslaw. Never thought of using it for anything else!
