But before the soup, I like to do something light, like oysters with gin and grapefruit juice and coriander, or a caprese. Usually something that doesn't need cooking. So this one is super fantastic as well. I like anything that looks like fun to eat. This little monster fits right into the category.
Don't be over-fussed by my quantities. Make it up as you go, and as long as it looks good enough so that you'd eat it, then your work is done xo
Serves 4
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, crushed and chopped finely
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
sea salt and cracked black pepper
2 tubs of large bocconcini balls, drained and patted dry
1 avocado
1 tub of store-bough char-grilled capsicum
50g rocket
8 slices prosciutto
Place the oil, vinegar, garlic, mustard, salt and pepper in a bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
Slice the bocconcini balls in 3 slices. Arrange on plates. Slice the avocado and layer on top of cheese, then top with capsicum, rocket and prosciutto. Have some fun here, and drape the stuff all around each other, maximising the colour.
Drizzle over the dressing and serve.

He hears so many noes - to have an experience that Make-A-Wish offered us was just amazing.
Jane, Scott's mom
For a kid who's been told "no" many times because of his bone cancer, 13-year-old Scott Baisden received the biggest "yes" of his life.
Make-A-Wish Oregon teamed up with the Portland Trail Blazers to grant his wish to meet point guard Damian Lillard. In addition to getting his own locker and name plate next to Damian's, Scott got to shoot around with Damian during practice. The next day - on game day - Scott was recognized before the game as the honorary captain and watched the Blazers beat the Boston Celtics from courtside.
The two-day wish experience will bring Scott some much-needed joy back into his life. Doctors diagnosed Scott with an aggressive form of osteosarcoma after getting injured in a football game when he was 11 years old. Since then, he has endured 10 months of chemotherapy and five surgeries, including one to remove part of his left upper arm bone.
A wish-come-true is more than something that's just nice to have. It reminds kids of all the amazing possibilities of life and helps them get through a difficult time in their journey.
This story makes me feel
Help wish kids take flight!

Emma shares her story through video.
I still to this day suffer periods of depression and/or anxiety; when life gets busy and a bit stressful my brain can simply brake down and needs help to recover and get well. After many years of feeling like I am on a 'roller coaster', where one minute I am happy and settled, then something happens and I become stressed, angry, impatient etc. I have come to the conclusion that mental health is just like any other illness. Like other illness i.e. the common cold, some people are more prone to get ill with that type of problem than others i.e. some people get colds more often than others.
We are all different, we are all human, and we all can get ill in different ways. I like many other people, just happen to have a mind that is prone to getting ill, and like treating a cold, I sometimes have to take to tablets and rest to get well again. So as well as taking the time to support other people to create stories for this website, I took the decision to take the time to make my own. I hope you enjoy this website and I hope it is useful!

Does your organisation have a group that will do anything for a sneaky nine holes on the golf course, whilst others find that too boring or difficult?
Well now you can cater for both in a fun and empowering charity team building program called Par For A Cause.
This fun, interactive and engaging team event can also be conducted in a variety of outdoor and indoor locations.
Firstly, teams will be assigned an area and then have to earn resources to build a putt putt golf hole. The challenge is that the props and resources will be non-perishable food items.
Teams will compete against each other to build the most creative, crazy, unique and fun putt putt hole.
They will then give their hole a par limit and submit it to the local planners.
The fun reaches fever pitch as teams then play the entire course in an attempt to record the lowest overall score and become the Par For A Cause champions.
With medals awarded and the champions basking in their glory, the program takes on a deeper meaning as the non-perishable food items used to create the course are donated to charity.
Par For A Cause is a charity team building event designed to develop team skills whilst also contributing items to a community organisation in need.
Contact us for a tailored proposal on Par For A Cause by completing the form on this page.

It has been so cold this week, but in the perfect it is really Fall kind of way. Its been perfect for casseroles, hot biscuits, and apples.
Some of the foods we've been enjoying…
-Corn and "fill in the blank" saute-I've been making the corn and zucchini with basil saute but using grape tomatoes, and spinach, or whatever other vegetable I feel like throwing in there. I really think I cannot ever eat corn without basil again, so good.
-Homemade Applesauce-we just made one jar by coring and peeling 6 very large apples from our picking trip. Then we chopped them into smaller squares and cooked them on the stove top with cinnamon and a dash of brown sugar. Once they were soft (and smelled oh so good) I ran them through the food processor. We enjoyed the applesauce with 2 meals and then it was gone!
-My Mom's Baked Mac n cheese-These smaller batches are better for our 3 people dinner nights. It makes enough to fill a small pan + one individual sized pan (which I don't bake but save as a leftover to be baked right before eating) In a saucepan melt 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp of flour. Then add 1 cup of milk and 1 cup of shredded cheddar. heat until a smooth creamy sauce. Pour over 8oz of elbow noodles which have been boiled and bake at 350F for 20-25 mins.
-Sweet Potato Casserole- I love using the individual size dishes for these because then I can use the Dandies vegan marshmallows on Tom's. They melt and brown just like regular marshmallows, they are really great!
and yes I do realize that we ate two potatoes (mashed and sweet) in one meal…but it was awesome, and the sweet potatoes are like dessert!

Tag: Park City Mountain Resort
Powder Paradise | Park City, Utah
The smell of white pine was striking, mixing in with the alpine air so perfectly that I felt I could bottle it and bring it home. It was just below freezing, the sun was out, the clouds puffy and white. A fresh snow had fallen and I was riding the ski lift, the jagged terrain falling away beneath me while being whisked thousands of feet up the mountain so efficiently, before letting gravity do the work on the way down. This was Park City Mountain Resort in January and all was right in the world.

More journalistic GIGO - garbage in, garbage out
Last week Mexico's sensationalist Proceso News Magazine, a checkout line tabloid rivaling the National Inquirer, published an article implying Mexico's federal government - all the way up to the president himself, perhaps - knew of the kidnapping and execution of 43 college students in Iguala, Guerrero on Sept. 26. in real time, as the brutal events were actually unfolding.
Here is an electronic redaction of that story in Spanish: Iguala: la Historia no Official.
The wild account - thick on icing but almost devoid of cake - was quickly picked up by some in the foreign press, including the always gossipy Huffington Post and the U.K.'s respected and usually reliable The Guardian, which carried the evidence-lacking story under the eye-catching headline, "Mexico authorities 'knew about attack on students as it happened'."
The only press source to get THE FACTS was the e-page Fusion, which ran this objective analysis Dec. 14. Key excerpts from Fusion's piece:
"Today's article in Proceso — an investigation by journalists Anabel Hernandez and Steve Fisher, in conjunction with the Program for Investigative Reporting at the University of Berkeley, California — offers a different account of what went down. The investigation claims the state and federal government were also involved in the crime, and the army was complicit. The investigative report, based on interviews, testimonies, cellphone videos, and apparently leaked documents from the government's investigation, mentions no evidence of Guerreros Unidos involvement. But the report alleges that at least five of the incarcerated gang members were illegally plucked off the streets and tortured before confessing to the crime.
"The reporters would not divulge how they obtained any of the information cited in their investigation, or allow Fusion to review any of their documents.
"An excerpt of the investigative report published Saturday night on Proceso.com claims "the attack was orchestrated and executed by federal police, with the complicity or collaboration of the army."
"However, two Ayotzinapa student survivors interviewed by Fusion say they didn't see any Federal Police involved in the attacks.
"The Proceso investigation found no indication that the military was directly involved in any of the shootings, but found evidence to suggest the regional army command was aware of what was happening at the time" (i.e., because law enforcement authorities in the area - local, state and federal - frequently share radio channels and frequencies).
"The journalistic investigation suggests that the way the events unfolded, and the degree of specialized training witnessed in the attacks, indicates it was a professional operation above the paygrade of the municipal police who took the fall for the crime," concluded Fusion - which did not remotely assess responsibility for the Iguala massacre to anyone in the federal government, at any level.
Today Mexico's ambassador to the United Kingdom delivered this justifiably terse response to The Guardian.
Your story (Mexico authorities knew about attack on students as it happened, 16 December) does not reflect the reality of the disappearance of 43 students in the Mexican state of Guerrero and the ongoing investigations around this event. Without any other source of information than a story published in a Mexican magazine . . . The Guardian admits that it has not been able to verify not only the alleged leaked government documents but the magazine's account.
The Mexican government is committed to a thorough transparent investigation, with the findings double-checked and assessed by different NGOs, independent groups and experts.
Diego Gomez Pickering
Ambassador of Mexico to the UK
Editor's note: Perhaps Proceso's imaginative, tabloid tale will be an object lesson for the J-School students at Berkeley, Calif. on how not to research and write a story. The rest of the world will be scrutinizing every word.

Worth The Price And TimeReviewing: Origins Modern Friction | Rating:
Modern Friction Nature's Gentle Dermabrasion by Origins
I discovered this product when I came in for a free facial. It was love at first sight! They gave me a sample which lasted about 3 weeks. This new form of dermabrasion is fantastic. All it takes is about six to ten minutes two or three times a week. It leaves your skin fantastically smooth like the product advertised.
The ingredients consist of rice starch that removes uneven patches and discolorations. There's also lemon oil that gives you a healthy glow! :) Aloe keeps your skin refreshed and calm. Bergamont and peppermint is also included to keep your skin bright.
The smell is very pleasant, it's not overly out there and very subtle. The product is very smooth and thick but it is not hard to use.
You don't have to use a lot. Less than a dime size on each cheek is enough. It's recommended to use the product two to three times a week, rubbing on dry, clean skin in circular motions, like how you would apply a lot of face products. Use a little water and it makes it faster. The longer you rub it into your skin the softer it is, generally about six minutes is good enough.
The price is hefty considering the size is net wt. 4 oz./125 ml. $37.50 is a lot to pay but I swear it will last you much, much longer than a year!
I have absolutely no complaints about this product! The warning I do have is to be careful around your eyes! It stings really bad!
Drop by your nearest Origins store and ask for a sample, its worth it!

So what happened yesterday has left myself and many other Conservatives/Republican's feeling very down. We saw a strong coalition come out for the President who pushed him pass the challenger Mitt Romney. So the question now has to be why did we lose and what does that hold for the future of the country. Has America switched from a Center-Right nation and become a Center-Left one? If so how long can we maintain the European welfare model? There is no doubt that much of President Obama's base was part of the moocher class, as Any Rand would have called them. President Obama's message was a small message basically promising free this and free that. Well we all know nothing given by the government can be free, someone has to pay. No society has the power to last where the primary economic philosophy is "take from the rich and give to the poor". It has failed everywhere it has been tried and will continue to fail. Today's Democratic Socialist societies are the modern day version of the "let them eat cake" philosophy,by giving the people "free" stuff they won't care that their nation is in decline. This way of governing only works for a certian period of time…and it's inevitable conclusion was best phrased by Margaret Thatcher's comment about Socialism: "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money".
The other major issue with this campaign as I see it was another mush head Republican was at the head of our ticket. The GOP "elites" who keep telling us that only a mush head "moderate" can win. These people like Karl Rove refuse to learn from the lessons of the past laid out before us by Ronald Reagan. Reagan was unashamed Conservative and he pushed his Conservative beliefs, but Rove wishes to tell us the era of Reagan is gone and only a big spending moderate mush head can win. If this is true then it may truly be over for America. Conservatives who believe in the individual, in property rights, and a true and just rule of law are not an outdated group…and if we are is that really an America we want to live in? Now the other issue is we need not only run Conservative candidates but we have to have articulate and intelligent ones. We need people who can capture the energy of the GOP as Sarah Palin did in 2008, but we need it in an individual who is smart, articulate and can appeal to the Independents and Reagan Democrats. If we keep having mush and bland people running for office, be it the House, Senate or President we will continue to lose.
In conclusion we must be prepared in the future for the "you can't beat Santa" approach of the Democrats. We must understand that they will promise the moon to win elections. This campaign has once again shown that you can be a totally failed candidate and still win by "killing" the character of your opponent, scare the crap out of the voters (i.e. Mediscare/and he will take away your abortions/pill), and out and out bribery (which man as President will keep the checks flowing). In four years from now the GOP's candidate will once more be running against Santa Clause and this time we must figure out how to win…
Keep Hope Alive my friends…for without it we are truly loss!

(Sunglasses - Ray-Ban, Esther Top - Trois, Backpack - Balenciaga,
I'm pretty sure my Mum had a similar top from the nineties. Her wardrobe was much cooler (and sexier) than mine, so I always snuck my favorites whenever I could. Found a high school photo last week and I was in a total look from my Mum's wardrobe — a crop top and high-waist shorts that were belted awkwardly at the waist because they were a few sizes too big. Man, the time just goes. xo

You know the kind I am talking about, right? Yep. One of THOSE weeks. Sigh.
But on the bright side....
October Afternoon blog today using the non-valentine line, Farm Girl. Would work good for a teacher or co-worker I think.
Project Life video for Two Peas and it will go up on Saturday! If you take a drink every time I say "Ummmm" it will make the video a lot more fun to watch. (Not that you should take a drink. Just an observation.) I'll also be over on the Two Peas general scrappin' board co-hosting a CHA chat with my pal, Marcy, that day if you want to join in. Should be fun.
Today as you read this I am probably at the hospital. See..I told you it had been a week. My sweet seven year old little guy is having surgery. If you could say a prayer for him we would certainly appreciate it.

Life is a hideous thing, and from the background behind what we know of it peer daemoniacal hints of truth which make it sometimes a thousandfold more hideous. Science, already oppressive with its shocking revelations, will perhaps be the ultimate exterminator of our human species—if separate species we be—for its reserve of unguessed horrors could never be borne by mortal brains if loosed upon the world. If we knew what we are, we should do as Sir Arthur Jermyn did; and Arthur Jermyn soaked himself in oil and set fire to his clothing one night. No one placed the charred fragments in an urn or set a memorial to him who had been; for certain papers and certain boxed object were found, which made men wish to forget. Some who knew him do not admit that he ever existed.
DESCRIPTION: In a passage from the short story "Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family" (1920), Lovecraft claims that recent scientific discoveries, specifically those related to human evolution, reduce the elevated status of the human race to an intolerable level.

June 10 — The IRS is dropping the coordinated industry case (CIC) designation and moving toward a risk-based approach to auditing multinational companies—a move practitioners say is driven by necessity and, for some taxpayers, likely to be welcomed.
Others aren't so sure, in part because it isn't yet clear how a taxpayer's compliance risk will be determined.
Robert J. Kovacev, a partner at Steptoe & Johnson LLP in Washington, told Bloomberg BNA on June 10 that the change might be unsettling to some taxpayers now in the CIC program.

In a magnetic air conditioner, the alloy acts as the "refrigerant," and plain old water provides the heat transfer, eliminating the need for the decidedly unfriendly hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) used in traditional air conditioners. While the earliest magnetocaloric alloys were either toxic or prohibitively expensive, the latest magnetocaloric materials are cost-effective and environmentally safe.
Magnetic air conditioners do require electricity, but the motor that spins the disk containing the magnetocaloric alloy is expected to be much more efficient than the compressor required to run a traditional air conditioner. According to a 2011 article in Scientific American, Astronautics hopes to have a prototype by 2013 that uses just two-thirds as much electricity as a conventional air conditioner to provide the same amount of cooling.

When looking at ABC's new the-higher-the-hair-the-closer-to-God send-up of Texas ladies, GCB (once known as Good Christian Bitches), we wondered what was the best way to judge the women in the central roles. After all, who is better at judging than these, err . . . belles? And then it came to us: God! Our god might be a little different than yours, but She definitely knows pretty much who's going to Hell and who's headed up to the Golden Gates. At least, for now. Herewith, a look at the first episode of GCB from the vantage point of heaven.
Within two minutes, we've learned the motivating plot point of the show: father and husband Bill Vaughn has stolen about "$5 billion more than Bonnie and Clyde ever had." He doesn't last long—this well-rounded jerk promptly dies after driving off the edge of a cliff with his lady friend's head in his lap. Talk about being easily distracted! Spoiler alert from God: Bill Vaughn is going straight to Hell—as if the fluttering cloud of cash on his way out weren't a dead giveaway.
Flash forward three months to widow Amanda Vaughn standing in her home as it's being emptied. She's surprisingly blasé about all of it. God to Amanda: let's see a little more self-reflection, please, and way fewer flowy skirts.
Amanda says she left Texas 18 years ago to get away from her mother and refuses to ever go back. However, she quickly changes her mind and we're road-tripping to Dallas. We meet her kids—Laura and Will (who are also surprisingly O.K. with the whole thing, but God appreciates that they aren't brats)—and shortly after, we encounter Amanda's own personal Satan—her mother, Gigi Stopper. God doesn't think she's all that bad.
Carlene Cockburn—whose last name really turns out to suit the very "spiritual" relationship she has with her husband—checks out the action across the street. She is decked out in diamond accessories. Earrings, necklace, rings, the whole deal. God thinks it's a little much, no? The nosy neighbor continues to spy throughout the episode, and soon calls up her girls—Sharon (the one who spends all her time eating), Cricket (who gives off a bit of a tough-girl vibe), and Heather (the real-estate agent; God likes her the best). Five minutes into the episode we have our first Bible reference—Psalms 18:39, which is about gaining strength before a battle. God is pretty sure this doesn't mean "strength to sabotage your neighbor because she was mean to you in high school." But God doesn't always remember what She was talking about when She was dictating things 3,000 years ago.
Back at the house of Stopper, things have all gone to Hell: Grandma (please call her Gigi) is teaching young Will how to mix drinks and has him set up in the Gun Room, which seems foreboding even though the cabinets are locked. Gigi reminisces over a yearbook about Amanda's mean-girl ways in high school (but she really has changed!), and we see just how large of a role doctors had in the rest of the girls' looks. Gigi discovers that her daughter, as it turns out, is 18 months sober. While this is very deserving of God's praise, She can't help but wonder how Amanda is possibly going to put up with everything in Dallas without a strong vodka tonic or at least a glass of wine in her hand. Kudos.
Then we learn that in Gigi's house, everyone goes to church. It's a rule. No matter that Amanda and Bill tried to raise the kids without the influence of religion—but really, Amanda, do you think Bill's opinion is something to go by? After that fiasco, maybe a little soul-searching is just what your family needs. God's just sayin'.
After an interesting church visit in which Carlene (formerly known as Kitten) says a catty prayer in honor of Amanda, the whole gang's reunited and it becomes clear that Amanda is still the class hottie, despite all the work Kitten's had done. She receives a slew of secret-admirer gifts (a car and $98,728.32 worth of clothing from Neiman's . . . God thinks this is rather over-the-top), which leads to everyone getting into a little bit of trouble. Amanda visits the car shop to find out who gave her the car, and Sharon's creepy husband tries to kiss her, which Carlene obviously sees. The girls visit Amanda and overwhelm her with a gift basket, then steal the Neiman's card to find out who it came from (this fails; Sharon is caught on film).
God side note: Carlene's outfits—the hot-pink Chanel terry jumpsuit, pink bedazzled binoculars, pink Bible with the diamond cross, and endless supply of Christian Louboutins—are a little too Legally Blonde meets Sunday school.
Amanda decides she needs a job, but Cricket has been bribing people with high, important positions of power (like head of the Garden Society) to keep poor Amanda away from an income. We find our heroine walking dejectedly down the street, when her heel breaks and the skies open up (God thought this would be a nice touch), and she seeks refuge in a restaurant named Boobies (God had nothing to do with that). You guessed it—Amanda finds a job flaunting what she's got. And God has no problem with this—she's making bank!
Amanda celebrates by drinking ginger ale with Heather (who actually is quite nice) and bumps into Blake, Cricket's close-talker husband, who is meeting his ranch foreman for dinner. Turns out this foreman is, well, "for men" (God likes bad puns, what?), and for Blake in particular. But let's keep that secret from the GCBs for now, shall we?
The episode rounds off at a Southern-hick carnival, where everyone wears ridiculous cowgirl outfits (Amanda's got on a little sparkly number that gives her Boobies costume a run for its money) and does generally Southern things like bull-riding (Will is obviously a natural despite his being in Texas for all of one week). Some confrontations are had when the girls find out that Amanda works at Boobies, but she obviously does not care, and afterward we learn that Grandma Gigi is, in fact, Amanda's secret admirer. God likes that.

I loved creating the little paper clips - they're digital pictures of Pop Vinyl toys that I fussy cut and then laminated. I also added some gloss and red stickles for blood and effect. When the figures were mounted with hot glue to paperclips I then added some chain. You see the two men where Michonne's partner and friend who became Walkers. So she chopped off their arms with her Katana and attached chains so she could lead them about. They worked a treat at keeping the other walkers away too!
The little 3D figure is a paper doll that I printed and fussy-cut, then put together. I haven't added any glue to this doll, as I will be including it in the letter when I post it. (But flattened).
The full page, showing the paperclips
This pocket is interactive - it has a swing action flap so you can see the before and after shots of the Michonne's Walker pets. It's amazing what some makeup can do!
This pocket can be removed so you can read all about Michonne and what she has done throughout the different seasons of the show.
This is the back page with various meme's a photo of the actress behind Michonne and a pic of her Katana.
These are my paperclips, a nice closeup so you can see them better.
Thanks for visiting!

As a child, a good portion of my time was spent splashing around in the clear water springs of Florida. Lately, I've been recalling those adventures of swimming alongside manatees in gorgeous mystic waters. I even suggested a road trip honeymoon to my fiance to go down and tour some of Florida's amazing natural parks. Whether for a honeymoon, a wedding, or a stunning photo shoot, the springs are a wonderful retreat with much beauty to enjoy.
Travel tip: Do your research when planning your getaway. Headed to the springs and want to see manatees? The Florida State Parks website shares information on the best time to see them, along with festival dates, and more. No matter where you're headed, there are great resources available to help you make the most of your trip!

Centuries ago, American Indians hunting plentiful game in the Moreno Valley saw the pink light of alpenglow on these mountains. They christened the valley "the land of Angel Fire."
Years later, miners searching for gold, silver and copper enjoyed the same incredible vistas. Today, skiers enjoying the pleasures of a winter vacation gaze out over the still pristine valley, the land of Angel Fire.
Angel Fire's ski terrain is expansive. More than 68 trails are serviced by six chairlifts.
Wide slopes cascade through stands of aspen and pine. Nearly 2,050 vertical feet of terrain means lots of ski time on the slopes.
The view from the summit is magnificent -- Wheeler Peak, New Mexico's tallest, towers over the valley.
The full-service base area is convenient. Everything skiers need is at hand.
Entertainment at the Village Haus Restaurant and Bar livens weekends and holidays. Special events punctuate the season with fireworks displays, fun races, snowboard competitions and our exciting annual snow shovel race.

Clearly Susan hand paints beer and Pilsner glasses as gifts for him in a wide array of sports designsand themes. There is the sports guy who loves to drink his beer....so why not have him drink out of a hand painted beer glass with his favorite sports team logo.
Or your guy might have a unique career so we can hand paint designs that represent that....stockbroker, lawyer, doctor......or your great guy may have a particular hobby that he loves to indulge in!
The Shape Does Matter
Have you ever wondered why beer glasses come in different shapes? It is not just in the marketing. It has to do with that there is more in a beer glass than beer, and as soon as the beer hits the glass, its color, aroma and taste is altered. The shape enhances that.
Why do beer drinkers always turn the glass sideways......to enhance the foam which releases compounds that make the beer richer in color and taste.

12 essentials for a Project Manager
12 essentials for a Project Manager
It is said that if you fail to plan then you are planning to fail. Planning, its importance and methodologies is covered to a great extent in the following posts.
Planning is an iterative process and there isn't a perfect plan to any project. Surprises are bound to happen while executing a project and the project managers should prepare himself and his team for any such surprises. The essence of good planning lies in doing things right the first time. Plan not only includes the activity schedule but it also includes a whole gamut of other activities like quality, communication, human resource, procurement, risks, project scope etc. Project Manager should never get bogged down by the constant pressure of the stake holders, but should allow time to his team to work out a workable plan that will form the basis for successful completion of the project. Project Managers are like business leaders they must plan but on the other hand they must also know when to change their strategy in order to achieve their goals.
(b) Leadership :
A project manager's leadership style should be flexible enough to respond to the needs of the project. Sometime an autocratic approach is useful but there are times when a more consensual approach is desired. Project Management is a leadership intensive undertaking, an effective leader can steer a project successfully through the most unforeseen and a number of external as well as internal problems. This is the second most important attribute that a project manager should try to develop.
(c) Time Management :
Time is the most precious commodity. A good project manager should identify and list down time killers in his day to day activity. Project Manager should assess how he is spending time and what is he doing profitably and unprofitably. If a project manager is able to plan his day and is able to stick to his schedule, this will automatically reduce inefficiencies in the project.
(d) Team Work :
Not all project managers have a set of team members who report to the project manager directly. In many projects, the team consists of cross functional members drawn from various functional departments. It is a challenge for a project manger to ensure that the team members remain together at all times and jointly work towards the fulfillment of project deliverable. Under such circumstances developing and maintaining a cordial team relations and fostering a healthy inter-group atmosphere often seems a full time responsibility of a project manager. Project Managers need to resort to both conventional and unconventional methods to check the motivation level of the team and to ensure that the team remains motivated during the course of the project work. A well motivated team means less conflicts during the project execution.
(e) Adaptability :
Most of the internal organisational decisions are influenced in one way or the other by departmental politics. A project manager should accept the scenario around him and try to maximize gains out this scenario. Project Manager should use the existing political system around him to negotiate, bargain or use influence to get the right kind of resources allocated for his project and ensure that the situation around him is not detrimental to the project.
(f) Conflict Management :
When individuals from diverse background team up to work together, conflicts are bound to happen. Project Manager should not react in panic as and when the conflicts arise in a team however the PM should investigate the reasons behind the conflicts and address them in a systematic fashion. Project Manager should avoid a knee jerk reaction to a conflict. Interpersonal conflicts are a result of personality differences while other conflicts are of a technical nature and can be addressed before a situation becomes serious. If a conflict is is allowed to fester it may erupt at a later stage and this eruption can have a far more damaging consequences to the project.
(g) Triple Constraints and more :
The undermentioned blog post states in depth of what are the other factors that influence the project success.
The world around us is changing rapidly and so is the expectations form a project manager. A good project manager should strive to achieve results that are beyond the triple constraints of schedule, cost and performance. Project Manager should also concentrate on the intrinsic value that a project brings to the organisation rather than satisfying the stake holders needs .
(h) Communicate :
Project Manager should avoid being a signboard of project success or failure. Rather than keeping the issues, problems, success or failure of the project to himself, a project manager should communicate with his team on a regular basis and appraise his team of the current status of the project. Joint project progress review meetings can work wonders if the project is marred with problems and issues. This will ensure that all team members are fully involved in the project and have a joint responsibility towards project success and failure. Regular communication with the team members will also keep the motivation level high.
It is very important for the project manager to know who the stake holders are and what they want. In large projects the number of stake holders is large and their demands may also be conflicting in nature. Project Manager cannot please each and every stake holder however, he can identify the stakeholders and work out a realistic assessment of the stake holders requirements during the early stages of the project. Project Manager should also work out an impact to the project if any of powerful stake holder remains dissatisfied during the course of the project execution.
(j) Avoid Comfort Zone :
A seasoned project manager should never become comfortable with the present state of the project. He should always challenge the accepted beliefs and motivate his team members to create wonders. A project manager should always ask the questions like, who, what, when, where, why. What if analysis is an important tool that a project manager should use to mitigate risks. For some projecting a skeptical eye towards the future may seem gloomy but when it comes to project management it makes a real good sense.
(k) Focus on deliverable :
Project Manager has to deal with a number of activities on a daily basis not all are related to the end product. Under these circumstances project manager is likely to loose sight of the final goal. No matter how complex the over all situation is, a project manager should always remain focused and concentrate on the big picture.
(l) Manage Internal Factors :
Organisational environment differ from organisation to organisation however one thing that is common in all organisations is that project manager needs to manage both external and internal variables with equal importance. Though this point is appearing in the end of the list and the primary reason behind this is that some aspects of it has been covered in points mentioned above. Team dynamics, internal politics with in the organisations, overall organisational goals and priorities are some of the factors that a project manager needs to monitor to exercise better control over his project.
To conclude project management is not a one solution that fits all organisations, it varies form project to project with in the organisation. The above list has been enumerated based on my experience, you may find some other variables more compelling and crucial to a Project Manager. Moreover apart form the above mentioned dozen essentials that a project manager should ensure there is a list of pitfalls that a project managers should avoid. Blog post 10 Project Management Pitfalls that a project managers should avoid clearly brings out this fact.

This week we are still reading boyd's It's Complicated. The chapter we read, "Inequality," discusses the networked lives of young people and how technology can widen the division between races, and social classes. Let's connect the boyd reading with some current events.
The points that boyd makes in her chapter, "Inequality," are very relevant, and can be applied in many situations online, and in real life. The talk about race has been prominent in the news lately with the Ferguson trials, and the shooting of Trayvon Martin. During these events, and other similar cases, there have been comments on social media that range from the extremes on both sides of the spectrum (supporting the officer, and supporting Michael Brown) and a variety of dialogue occurred on social media, both positive and negative.
**Disclaimer: this article does not represent my opinion on the matters discussed. It is merely an example used for analyzing how the Internet can cause increased levels of inequalities and prejudices in the youth's networked lives.**
After the shooting an infamous tag was born #blacklivesmatter. Positive, peaceful protests have occurred using the hashtag.
Even photos that tugged your heartstrings appeared:
However, violent riots, and support for these violent acts also emerged:
In response to this others have called for increased hostility towards them, and in turn, it incites a new kind of hate. (This point is made in boyd's example of Alexandra Wallace and threats she faced after posting her video)
These type of tweets continue to reinforce structural divides, and encourages racial segregation. This cycle continues as the web allows for freedom of speech and thoughts to be heard:
However, it doesn't stop there. I'm not saying that either side has a justifiable reason for their actions, however, the girl's personal information was released, she received death threats, and was suspended from school. Is this type of response acceptable? Sure she said some hateful things, however, was her action so bad that it in turn requires death threats? This type of interactions online show that each side is doing what the other condemns, and a growing divide in social and racial classes.
But how can we fix social divide caused by the Internet? Racism has had a long history in our country, and it doesn't just disappear overnight. Similarly with real life, it is hard to get rid of all prejudices as these are beliefs engrained into the minds of some people since they were young. As a result, I believe that the only way really combat this issue is through openness and awareness of other people from different backgrounds.
Sorry for such a heavy post this time, however, I feel that this is a very important topic that needs to be addressed. I hope ya'll enjoyed it, and let me know what you think!

There are certain doubts which a person may experience while offering prayers. For the prayers to be meaningful it is a must that skepticism which is a biggest impediment of our prayers is removed. Prayer to be of immense value it is must that it is done with single mindedness / concentrated and with right attitude.
Prayers to be more productive should contain answers to our own answers. Losing totally ourselves in Him; forgetting every other thing – even the contents of the prayer is the best sort of prayer. The prayer may be in any posture – sitting or standing that hardly matters. On sincerity counts.
The following are some of the paradoxes we face in our day to day prayers:-
- 1. Even Person Committing Criminal Acts/ Irrational Acts Invokes Go.: It is a strange paradox that even persons committing some unethical and immoral acts remember Him for fructification of nefarious designs. It is as though they want to associate our Creator too in their evil acts! If that act proves a failure person concerned feels despondent and if his alleged act gets accomplished that person may think that this success is due to the intervention of other forces and with it that person thinks reward from the acts as legitimate and not ill-gotten! Some people also give part of this booty to others in charity etc – a facade of purity on impure act! Is not it a moral dilemma of highest order?
- 2. Only some Days Assigned for Serious Bhakti. Then there are some special / chosen days for prayers. During these days the places of worship are overcrowded. It is difficult sometimes to properly focus on the prayers during those days due to much hustle and bustle. Contrarily on other days the places of worship have a deserted look – just forlorn. The God must be saying what sort of love is this for Him – only for a few chosen days! Sorry to say but it is am undisputed fact. Is it with the notion that our Creator is available only on the days assigned and not on other days?
- 3. Comparison / Competition in Prayer. Our God loves simplicity. Simple prayers. But some people use complex prayer methods in the form of Mantras etc as if God is only pleased / impressed with intricate prayers laced with difficult and long winding sentences. Occasionally there is onemanship in this too.
- 4. When prayers not Answered. The predicament of a person who prays only for getting his / her prayers answered and if the prayers just do not get answered or their task not successful due to some other reason then that person just goes haywire and even turns atheist. You must also have seen people asking different bounties from Him and not for Him and His Love. We should always know that our Creator is all knowing being; all powerful in every respect and knows everything which will happen or not happen or about to happen. Then why to go with a list of demands as if going for purchase of merchandise after having made payment.
- 5. Why not have total belief? Seemingly we just pray for the sake of a prayer only. Neither it is emanated from our heart nor with right attitude associated with it. It goes to prove that we have some selfish motive even in our prayer to our Lord. Bereft of total belief / faith / right attitude. And in the absence of these all; our prayer just passes above our head. If our prayer is lackluster then can its result be lustrous!
- 6. Some have more accessibility to our Lord? Some people hoodwink the gullible by promising moon. For this they may resort to some concocted tricks in order to impress general masses to make this commercial venture a successful one. Fact remains that there are people who can transform our lives by offering us suggestions / advices for following right path for getting His connectivity.
- 7. Questions asked: Then there are people who ask unreasonable questions to make the prayers and its results and to fill the people with more doubts about it all.
- Have you seen your God in person?
- What is His form?
For me our God is Omniscient / Omnipresent. He is our Creator and we are made in His mould. Then why to have any doubt?

WBA Junior Middleweight Champ Yuri Foreman Defending Against Miguel Cotto
New York (Wednesday, May 19, 2010) – While powerful swings and the pop of the glove is nothing new to Yankee Stadium, a boxing ring in the outfield is something that has not been seen there in over 30 years. That last fact will change on Saturday, June 5th, when the sweet science returns to the Bronx for WBA Junior Middleweight Champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KOs) to defend his title against Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KOs).
"I know it's going to be a tough fight for us, a tough fight for Yuri, too," Cotto said of the bout. "But we are owners of our own destiny, you know? We'll try hard, and I guarantee you we're going to make a great show."
Cotto, who is a former world champion in both the junior welterweight and welterweight division, last fought this past November against Manny Pacquiao, a fight in which Pacquiao won via TKO in the 12th round. When Foreman last stepped between the ropes, he defeated Daniel Santos by unanimous decision to win the WBA Super Welterweight Championship.
"When I won the world title on November 14, they told me to take a few fights, some easy fights, then get into something better," Foreman remarked. "Being a world champion is not just easy fights, it's fighting other world champions. And Miguel Cotto is another world champion."
The major question surrounding this fight is whether or not Cotto has enough left in the tank to stop Foreman. Cotto has been in the upper echelon of the sport for the better of the past seven years and has many notable victories on his resume, but two of his last four fights have ended in defeat. As mentioned earlier, his last loss came at the hands of Pacquiao, who many regard as the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world, and the first was a suspicious defeat to Antonio Margarito, who was later suspended for using illegal hand wraps in a bout against Shane Mosley. Undoubtedly, Cotto is an entertaining fighter who has not backed down from competition, but the physical nature of his own style and those he has fought in recent years would slow any boxer at this point in his career.
On the flip side, Foreman seems like a fighter who is just hitting the prime of his career. While he is nearly three months older than Cotto, the Israeli boxer seems to still have his best fights ahead of him. Foreman and Cotto have actually fought on the same card before, when Foreman split decisioned Anthony Thompson before an undefeated Cotto TKOed Zab Juddah in the main event of a card at Madison Square Garden in 2007. The positioning of each of those bouts shows where the fighters were at the time, but it almost more importantly gives a glimpse of where they are now.
Overall, it's tough to say exactly where Cotto sits right now in the sport, but he has more than earned this opportunity to prove he still belongs. This bout also presents a huge opportunity for Foreman to show the world that he is one of the best in the game. No matter which way fight fans are leaning in this bout, one thing is for sure. It should definitely be a very entertaining night.
Play ball.

Wu, Hui. "Historical Studies of Rhetorical Women Here and There: Methodological Challenges to Dominant Interpretive Frameworks." Rhetoric Society Quarterly 32.1 (Winter 2002): 81-97. Print.
Summary: This article examines theoretical premises of the historical study of rhetorical women, epistemological confusions caused by postmodernism, and challenges from the studies of black and Third World rhetorical women. On that basis it points out that the present difficulties in accepting discursive feminist methodologies in the study of rhetorical history are direct results of a continued adherence to certain established interpretive frameworks that dominate inquiry and knowledge construction in the field of rhetoric/composition.
- Wu draws attention to the fact that feminist rhetorical historiography is a relatively new subfield that is still trying to find its way. As such, the methodological approaches are often intertwined with particular ideologies and particular politics (81). Further, beyond feminist historiography for Western, often "white" women, there is little work being done in the feminist ethno-rhetorical historiography of 3rd World women.
- Wu references the "Aspasia debate" as a sign that the methodological basis for feminist rhetorical historiography is still hotly contested.
- Wu argues that for the important work of feminist rhetorical historiography to go forward a couple of fundamental methodological questions must be answered: 1) what is behind skepticism toward women's historical presence in rhetoric?; 2) If we agree that women do have a rhetorical history of their own, what materials do we document and analyze?; 3) What are the key concerns in documenting primary sources and gathering evidence?; 4) Is the historical study of women similar to postmodernism as both supposedly deal with discourse and knowledge construction? (82)
- Trajectory of article: 1) clarify theoretical premises of women's history writing by defining the purpose and meanings of its methodology to highlight the ethical and political concerns in said methodology. 2) distinguish between feminist studies of rhetorical history and postmodernism (an understandable confusion as both deal with language and discourse in constructed ways); 3) draw attention to the theoretical significance of the historical research on black and Third World rhetorical women by highlighting the challenges to the "established criteria of subject selection and archival evaluation" that traditional feminist rhetorical historiography makes apparent (82).
- Wu appreciates the "reciprocity" that Royster values – a reciprocity that provides opportunities for research (and alliance building) across the "other" by creating scholarship that is "theoretically sound, systematic, and generative" (Royster 254, Wu 83). Further, Wu also recognizes that gender hierarchy exists across all cultures. As such, her strategy of feminist rhetorical historiography will speak to all those involved in the community of researchers working at the intersection of history, gender, transnational theory, and rhetoric.
- While Wu appreciates Rich Enos's methodological dictates in "Recovering the Lost Art of Researching in the History of Rhetoric," she wants to push beyond it because: 1) techniques alone cannot highlight a feminist methodology because it is political and ideological; further, 2) "how-to" discussions don't highlight ethical and political concerns that distinguish feminist historiography from regular history writing (83).
- Traditional definition of methodology: it is a theory and analysis of how research does or should proceed; it includes theoretical explanations of general structure and applications of methods in a particular discipline (84). For historians the selection of subjects, period, and evidence is value-free – for feminist rhetorical historiographers this isn't the case. Every selection is a judgment call.
- The political and ethical commitments of feminist rhetorical historiography seek to return history to women, return property rights to women, and return human rights to women. Because the traditional historical research process has marginalized and excluded women the new configuration that Wu argues for must challenge that narrative by emphasizing women as an additional historical subject through challenging traditional research methods. (86-7)
- Wu criticizes Gale's correlation of postmodernism with feminist rhetorical historiography because she believes that postmodernism's "abandonment of notions of objectivity and reality" is at odds with the gendered standpoint in feminist methodology – a standpoint that seeks change by being responsible to historicity, collective civic actions, and transforming research practices (86).
- The history making project is one not of creation but reconstruction: recreate history from available and affirmable sources. As such, the political work of feminist rhetorical historiography is establishing the facts based on the sources in such a way that "more complete and fair truths of the past" than have been available unto now are reconstructed (86). This is a different operation that postmodernism: postmodern methods aren't necessarily accountable to anyone (according to Wu) because they are all about the relative satisfaction of an individual's own exploration; in other words, postmodern methods aren't necessarily accountable to anyone and as such aren't obligated to any particular politics (87).
- Wu adopts Thomas Miller and Melody Bowdon's five methodological concerns (1. Dialectical transaction between the rhetor and audience; 2) situational aspects of the transaction; 3) rhetorical purpose; 4) collective orientation; and 5) productive engagement with political action) because there is an obligation in research to the productive potential of collective political engagement (88). In fact, the centrality of collectivity is key for Wu's feminist rhetorical historiography – it points to the political benefits of historiography and makes steps toward recognition of a collective future history.
- Wu notes that feminist rhetorical histories of Third World women should not be limited to the deceased; rather, living women should be included as historical subjects as long as they are contributing to history building (90-91). This work often takes the form of translation. By considering the viewpoints of these living scholars we can get a new angle on the practice and history of our profession.
- Wu notes that 3rd World Women's work is often categorized as "essentialist" and, therefore, received short-shrift in the Western academic establishment; however, it is given this moniker because it is being critiqued from a Western feminist viewpoint. In other words, when feminist rhetorical historiography is only deployed as a starting point for theorizing a upper- and middle-class white women's gender politics then the broader goal of feminist historiography for women in the Third World and marginalized women in the West is betrayed (93).
Key Quotes:
"From a gendered point of view, feminist methodology of rhetorical history does not refer to an innocent research activity for research's sake, but rather an intentionally radical effort to exert transformative power over research methods" (85).
"The postmodernist beliefs in a masterful, self-conscious, and universal subject and in the segregation of justification and reason from power and force, as Alessandra Tanesini generalizes, do not agree with the goal of feminist research, for empowering women means engaging oneself in competing with the dominant force" (88).
From Royster: "Knowledge does indeed have the capacity to empower and disempower, to be used for good and for ill. As researchers and scholars, we are responsible for good and for ill. As researchers and scholars, we are responsible for its uses, and, therefore, should think consciously about the momentum we create when we produce knowledge or engage in knowledge-making processes. Our intellectual work has consequences. I believe the inevitability of these consequences should bring up pause as we think not just about what others do but about what we are obliged to do or not to do" (Royster 281, Wu 90).
"Like the transformations mainstream feminist works have brought to traditional knowledge making, historical writing of marginalized rhetorical women, in the forms of systematic critique of the subject's thoughts and deeds, documentation of primary sources, and translation, can provide more fresh perspectives on established definitions of who and what is worth rendering as history" (93).
"The accommodation of discursive feminist approaches to history is necessary if the goal of research is to construct human history as honestly, truthfully, and completely as possible. This goal has triggered feminist rhetorical historiography and renewed the definition of its methodology. Thus, cultural, racial, ethnic, or gender identities may not separate us from our common agenda to better society and our common identity rooted in rhetoric and rhetorical history that have formed and strengthened the discipline of rhetoric/composition. What may separate us and jeopardize historical works on rhetoric is rejecting unconventional research practices due to the affiliation with predominant, mainstream theoretical frameworks and methodologies. If progressive scholars can carefully acknowledge and come to understand the purposes and meanings of feminist methodology necessitated by the complexities of women's rhetorics and histories, then a fair and accurate assessment of historical studies of rhetorical women can be made" (94).

|Although in Jerusalem's mayoral elections of 2003 Uri Lupoliansky won a clear majority (52% of the valid ballots) over the other candidates, in most sectors of the city it was actually Nir Barkat who was victorious. In 100 out of the 188 statistical districts of the city (not including the industrial areas and other non-residential areas), Nir Barkat won a majority. Lupoliansky received a majority of the votes in 83 districts and Yossi Tal-Gan in 5. The candidates Yigal Amedi, Roni Aloni, and Larisa Gerstein didn't receive majorities in any district.
As one can see in the map, the areas in which Lupoliansky won a majority were those with an Ultra-Orthodox majority – Romema, Sanhedriyya, Ramat Shlomo, the eastern part of Ramot Alon, Neve Ya'akov, Har Nof, and Bayit VeGan. In addition, Lupoliansky won in most of the Arab districts in East Jerusalem, though it should be noted that the voter turn-out in these sectors was very low – only about 5%.
In the Jewish districts that are not Ultra-Orthodox, entailing 113,000 valid ballots, Barkat won 62% of the votes and Lupoliansky 32%. 74% of the Jews with the right to vote live in these areas, but the voter turn-out is low compared to that in the Ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods. In Ultra-Orthodox districts, out of 56,000 valid ballots, Lupolianski won 93% and Barkat 6%. In Arab districts, out of 4,500 valid ballots, Lupoliansky won 43% and Barkat 23%.
Overall, districts with high socioeconomic status were characterized by support for Barkat, and districts with low socioeconomic status – for Lupoliansky. In areas of the city with upper-middle and upper status (defined by the Central Bureau of Statistics as clusters 12-20), Barkat received 63% of the votes, while in the areas with lower-middle and lower status (clusters 2-11), Lupoliansky received 74% of the votes.

I am a big fan of Strobist which is a blogger who dedicates his blog to the art of good lighting.
The Strobist is so talented and I think he is so kind to take the time to teach and display his work so others may benefit.
I am currently working through some of his suggested techniques and I will be posting some of my outcomes.
However I will always be a fan of natural lighting conditions and this really is my style and preference of photography (of course I use flash when needed and I use it well) but learning some new lighting techniques with flash will be very helpful.
I am also looking for a new 1 or 2 day course to perfect my lighting technique and I plan on taking a few trips in the name of photography watch this space.
Check out his website below and I will also add more inspirational people I follow, books and websites.
