Vanity License Plates
How many of you out there have vanity plates on your car? You know the ones that spell out your name or have your favorite team, worthy cause, non-profit, Princess, slugger, and I am sure there are hundreds more.
Here is your question: What is the message you are sending?
First you send a message of support for your chosen group and the next thing you know you cut me off, drive up my tail pipe, or shoot me the bird. You, yes you! You are saying that the people in this car represent the cause on the plate and this is how every one of you that has these special plates acts on and off the road.
Why not create plates that say: I'm Rude, Knucklehead, Bad Driver, Bad Sportsmanship, Chief Bully, and the list I am sure would go on and on.
The two local colleges in the area would cringe if they only knew what the other drivers said about that such and such school, they all are @@@@@@.
If you are representing your cause, I am suggesting that you act as if you are representing them in a positive manner and be a courteous driver. In addition, oh by the way, become a better driver!

It is AMAZING, people.
If you have never been a part of a low country boil, you must.
What goes into the pot depends on what you like. Sometimes there are only one or two seafood items, along with the corn, sausage, potatoes and spices.
Our friends, on the other hand, go "all out" - or "all in" whatever you like to say. I get those terms confused. One is for life and one is for playing poker, I think. I can't remember which one is which. I like "all out." We will use that one.
They go "all out."
They go "all out."
In our pot we had onions, lemons, potatoes - fresh from the garden, corn on the cob, shrimp, clams, oysters and lobster.
Yeah, they do it up right. Outrageous in it's finest form.
There is no dress code but I must warn you...don't wear zippers, buttons, hooks or snaps. Bad news, people. Just don't do it. Expanda pants rock. That is the only way.
Okay, here we go.
We had big pot filled about two-thirds with water. We dumped in 3 Zataran's crab boil bags, salt, cayenne pepper along with a few other things. Don't skimp on the spices. We used more this year and found that "more" was definitely "better."
Yeah, the pants are going to get REAL tight. I can tell already from all the spices.
This spice is straight cayenne pepper.
Bring it on, baby!
This spice is straight cayenne pepper.
Bring it on, baby!
In my crazy world, if a recipe that says to use one garlic clove or 1/4 tsp of something...what the heck, why bother? I use about 4-5 garlic cloves or a teaspoon/tablespoon of the "something."
I mean, people, get real, a 1/4 tsp. of anything is virtually nothing.
I know people who are kinda scared of spices. I'm not. Look at it this way, spices are like parties - the more the merrier.
We kept pouring them in. It will be fine. Take a chance and something good may happen.
Next, we added the potatoes, lemon and sausage. They take the longest time to cook. Remember to set the timer.
Notice the "Charlie Sheen" shirt. Yes, I knew you would catch that. THIS is a "Charlie Sheen" type of guy so of course he would wear a "Charlie Sheen" shirt.
The seafood in the cooler waiting for their turn to get into the pot. Oh my. YUM-YUM-YUM in it's finest form, people.
It's time for the oysters. Notice the "blue shirt" guy guarding them and making sure they go down, just right?
The boys were on high alert.
Ahhhhhhh a ful pot of oysters....I wish they were all mine. Other than the lobster, the oysters are my favorite.
Set up the table while the timer it ticking. You need a big felt-backed plastic tablecloth and thick newspaper in the middle. The newspaper will soak up the bits the hot water after the "dumping."
Lemons, shuckers and oysters knives. Don't forget the salt, pepper and cocktail sauce.
Oh yeah, the BUTTER. We are going to need lots of butter.
If the pot gets too full, it may boil over and put out the fire. The boys liked this part because they got to play with fire again.
There was almost a fist fight over who got to re-light the fire. The "Charlie Sheen" guy won. Guess he is not that big of a weenie boy after all. The other boys watched in pure amazement as the fire was re-lit.
Be careful with this part. You don't want a big boom. See that tank of propane?
Once the boys re-lit the fire and the pot was boiling again, the clams were up next. They are so cute.
At this point you should put one of the boys on patrol. You don't want a masked man grabbing the pot and taking off with it. Don't laugh. It could happen. Keep your boys on high alert.
Lobster up next.
Look at all those pretty babies.
Oh no, the fire went out again. The pot is really heavy now. Maybe 40-50 pounds heavy. Notice the fire gloves? You will need those too. The pot is really hot.
The shrimp are up next but wait....there is no room left in the pot. We had to take out the lobster, a few oysters and a few other goodies to make room for the shrimp.
Like I said, our friends go all out. We should have had two pots going.
Is there anything in the world better than lobster? Don't think so.
We removed a few oysters and sausages along with the lobster.
We now have plenty of room for those shrimp.
In they go.
Everything is FINALLY ready to come out of the pot and dumped onto the table. Did I mention that the "waiting" can be pure torture? It is.
Notice this boy has on jeans. He is going to be sooooo sorry later because his pants are going to be way too tight.
Up, up and out. The boys had to hold the pot like this so the hot water could drain and not end up running off the table. Don't forget to put newspaper down before "the dumping." We forgot this important step this year.
The pot is sitting in a large bowl to drain a little more. It is almost time. I am starving.
We are all drooling at this point because we had waited so long.
"The Dumping" right in the middle of the table.
Everyone just grabs what they want.
Then... WE ATE LIKE WE WERE IN PRISON!
Yes, we did that. It causes pain later on but you can "work through" the pain if you try.
THIS is the aftermath once we finished eating. We had a few left-overs but not many.
The hubster got hung up on the garden-fresh potatoes. He ate 12 of those. Yes, 12. Lots of potatoes. He also had 4 oysters, 3 shrimp, 1 lobster and 1 hot sausage. He passed on the clams and corn this year. He is an engineer so he kept up with his intake. Engineers do silly stuff that that.
Me, well, I just ate. Numbers are not necessary when eating. I may have eaten 1 lobster, 5-10 oysters (YIKES), 1 corn, 3 potatoes and 2 hot sausages. Maybe more. I really don't want to know so I will just leave there.
Once everyone finished wolfing down the contents of the pot, someone has to start the clean-up process. Guess what? It is easy. Yes, an easy clean-up, imagine that.
With all the shells, cobs, claws, plates and everything else that is left on the table, simply pick up the felt-backed table cloth with all four corners and toss it in a trash bag. Wa-la...the table is clean.
Make sure your keys, sunglasses or anything else of value isn't left the table or it will go in the trash with everything else. That happened one time. We tossed a pair of prescription sunglasses. Not good.
We had this homemade strawberry pie for dessert.
We ate so much of the pot, we were unable to finish this beautiful strawberry pie.
There should never be left-over "sweet" anything. But we just couldn't do it. Sigh.
The evening was still young but "we called it" early.
Eating like you are in prison takes a lot of energy.
It was worth every bite.
Have you ever done a low country boil? If so, what was in your pot?
I am smiling at you

I rarely listen to rap.
I like "soul food" but I don't eat it often. But I will kill a chorizo and egg at any time. Wait that's not...nevermind. 210!
My shoe game is weak...and about 80%...no, 90% of the time I'm ok with that.
I don't like wearing jewelry. I'll probably never get my ear pierced, get a gold grill, or have a huge medallion hanging from my neck. Wait, it gets worse. I don't wear watches either.
I used to like car rims...shiny ones. But I think I started un-liking them when I kept running into pot holes and I got deeper into debt trying to maintain them. Now I like thick tires.
I don't normally wear hats and accessories when I go rap. And if I had it my way, I'd be looking rough half the time (ie faded jeans and old tees). Thank God for my wife :) ps - my wife saved the day in my White Rags music video shoot. Not so much in the God Belongs in My City music video shoot. I didn't properly plan for and I straight up rebelled on the day of!
I have strong convictions about "body art" aka tatoos. I walk in grace with those who have them (and advocate them as Christians) but uh...I think it's stupid.
How do I really feel about fitteds and snapbacks? I think I have nice hair when I get it cut. So no need for them...unless my hair is waaay out of control or I'm doing a music video and wanna represent my city, state...or something else that I feel needs to be promoted. In those instances the waves would have to take a back seat :)
I don't cut my hair as often as I should, and when I go back to my barber he always says the same thing: "Hey stranger! Whooooaaa!"
I don't own 1 CD from the 116 clique (Lecrae and friends).
That was fun! Might have to do that again sometime except next time give you the really shocking ones haha!

The Moment a Sinner Believes
The moment a sinner believes,
And trusts in his crucified God,
His pardon at once he receives,
Redemption in full through His blood.
Taken from "The Full Harvest" C.H. Spurgeon Autobiography Volume 2 page 237
LOOKING TO PRAISE AND WORSHIP JESUS THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD. 18 No man has ever seen God at any time; the only unique Son, or the only begotten God, Who is in the bosom [in the intimate presence] of the Father, He has declared Him [He has revealed Him and brought Him out where He can be seen; He has interpreted Him and He has made Him known].
The moment a sinner believes,
Spurgeon was counseling a woman at this point...He went on to tell her,"many, who had believed in Christ , had been black sinners one moment, and white as snow the next, and that, by casting themselves simply on Christ, they had instantly found peace, she could not but take to her heart the precious promises of Christ, and believing in Jesus, being justified by faith, she had the peace of God that passeth all understanding, and she went away rejoicing in Jesus."
The above was also taken from the same page as that of the post
Amen..the Blood will never lose its power! Praise the Lord

AgileProject Management
PMI's Pulse of the Profession In-Depth Report
It is difficult to be innovative when that innovation can potentially ruin your organization. The fact of the matter is the global market is becoming increasingly more volatile. This is the focus of a paper from the Project Management Institute. According to the paper, this new trend calls for increased organizational agility. Many organizations are accomplishing this by revising their inner workings in three ways:
- Rigorous change management to better adapt to shifting market conditions
- More collaborative and robust risk management
- Increased use of standardized project, program and portfolio practices
The paper goes on to note that organizations that are more agile are "twice as likely to see increased success with their new initiatives as their counterparts with low agility." It is important, of course, to understand precisely what organizational agility really means. The most popular answer researchers received when asking that question was that it meant quick response to strategic opportunities. Respondents also included shorter decision/production/review cycles, focus on change management, and integrating voice of the customer, among other things. Truly, there are multiple benefits to organizational agility:
Even before the economic downturn, the role of organizational agility in providing a competitive advantage was supported by a McKinsey survey. Nine out of 10 executives, spanning all regions and industry sectors, ranked organizational agility both as critical to business success and as growing in importance. In addition, nearly 90 percent of executives surveyed by the Economist Intelligence Unit ranked organizational agility as vital for business success. One-half of all CEOs and CIOs agreed that rapid decision-making and execution are not only important, but also essential to a company's competitive standing. Agility may also be linked to profitable growth: Research conducted at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology suggests that agile firms grow revenue 37 percent faster and generate 30 percent higher profits than non-agile companies.
It is important to remember, however, that simply declaring a company more agile does not automatically make it so. A company must make efforts to improve in the areas of change management best practices implementation, risk management best practices implementation, and portfolio, program, and project management practices standardization. The paper does state that "there is, of course, no magic bullet for staying ahead, especially during tumultuous economic times." This does not mean, however, that a company should at least try to achieve organizational agility.
Change, risk, best practices, and other areas of concern need to be kept in mind when trying to mold your business into a more organizationally agile one. Truly, these items should be kept in mind anyway in the business world, so why not mold the way your company addresses these areas around a goal of organizational agility? When company after company is showing the benefit of making such a change, it would be unwise to not try it for your own business. Remember, this is not simply a change in mentality. It takes work. However, as the research and respondents have shown, a little bit of work goes a very long way with organizational agility.

"North wind" in the role even before the release has caused an unprecedented boom — tickets sold out a few months before the premiere. Explanation — the name of the author and Director: Renata Litvinova plus singer Zemfira (Ramazanova), the allies as a composer.
photo: Ekaterina Tsvetkova
Renata Litvinova entered into the Director's territory.
Over the two day premiere of "North wind" was visited by many notable guests. "Yesterday we were Pugacheva", — not without pride tells me the employee of the Moscow art theatre. Well, with television a lot.
In General, the secular part of the premiere secured. But the theater — not show business, this is a fashion name is not a free pass to the art. In addition to showing off something more serious to show. Renata Litvinova presented "North wind", which did not catch a cold, and caused a lot of emotion, and variety. In General, collective freezing from his deathly blow never happened.
Notice that the second coming actress and screenwriter Litvinova at the Art theatre. A few years ago, the Director Adolf Shapiro surprise of many, asked her for the role (as much) Ranevskaya in "the Cherry orchard". Me she liked it then, despite the uneven and fragile for the stage voice, striking stage uncertainty and inexperience. But her personality won, and even the skeptics admitted that "Maybe". Now Renata has entered into the Director's territory, and here that is forgivable actress, not forgiven the Director. So, watch her directorial debut.
Through the dark curtain of slanting the snow flies, whistling wind. However, the curtain some not serious, thorough, and flimsy curtains, which that and look will blow away the most North — not South. However behind the curtain will be room, bathed in warm light. The table at which were gathered some family to celebrate the New year. What? Yes, from Christmas of some kind — doesn't matter. Even the clothes of the characters confused cards: whether it is 30 years with a female broad-shouldered jackets and wavy plates in hairstyles, whether at the beginning of the last century with velvet dresses. Maybe today's outfit flight attendants with alloy jackets and narrow skirts.
No, still loves Renata sky, flight attendants, aircraft — like screen at the Moscow art theatre moved some of her movies. In decorative window floating clouds, heard the roar of the engine, is a flight attendant. Of course, beauty in the costume color steel wing.
Her name is Fanny and she is the fiancée of Benedict, son of Margaret. However, for new year's table is much more family, and don't understand who who who have. Moreover, the text they say, makes even more confusion in the mind.
And as soon as I looked at you — I was amazed, how I love you though seen for the first time. The North wind, the cold brought us. Clenching his hand into a fist…
You are so beautiful, so beautiful that I'm ready…
I will love you all my life — to the grave and after the grave.
The flight attendant, the postman in the costume of a military pilot, an Opera diva in a sequin dress. Centenarian Alice (maybe from the looking glass, who knows) and her Shadow. I'm not talking about professors of the Flagellum, which is from the unrequited love of the surgeons-beauticians have turned into protectory stored on a memory preserved in alcohol nose sweetheart Ada and from time to time shows everyone a jar with him. From time to time death comes — beauty in strict male costume — and someone tidies up. In General, leads to another world.
One scene is the New year with a family toast about love to the grave and after the grave — unchanged. Eight or nine times she repeated, until a strange family would not fail, like snow under the sun in "the Northern wind", but there was no sun. His play indicates Litvinova as a real phantasmagoria, ruled by the unreal, but surprisingly clear, because that which lives is always with us in our subconscious — thoughts on love and death in different ways — as imagination and experience allows. "Madness is not enough," says one of the characters, giving the secret thoughts of the author. And follies of the author Litvinova takes revenge. But the main feature of her madness some domacnosti, humanity, reverence. The awkwardness in the end and that defines in many ways the life and its movement towards the inevitable end.
Where, if you believe the author of the play, the deadly blond leads his own expense, and surprised the chaos that make the people in her well-established economy. "Disappeared from the navigation on the vector of the 13th hour, she says, discouraged by the treacherous violation of the order, and they casescenario at the 25th hour. Horror when it comes, I twisted to 120 breaths ago…"
Oddly enough, but it is absurdist text Litvinova, funny in many ways, controls the action, change the picture if the same static scene — New year, the North wind, one by one all died. Live only one love — Benedict still Dating his Fanny, loved the entire life of a flight attendant, who died soon after their acquaintance and submission to the family. They are in the cockpit, the propeller of which is already running.
Amazing ensemble cast working on "North wind" — no entrance role, even the smallest. As a Director Litvinova showed the individuality of each and text, and drawing. Don't know whether it is collective work, or only the merit of the Director, but the result is excellent. Rare case when the ensemble works like clockwork and it is impossible for someone one to select. However… Renata Stands out, but not with the game, which seems a continuation of her existence in the scene (or she cleverly deceives?), and the fact that noticeable as her Margarita watching the actors only lip-reciting together with them the text not as a partner but as a Director.
photo: Ekaterina Tsvetkova
The play itself was written quickly, in a month.
The output when ended the applause and were given flowers, I have heard various opinions, from "thin," "cool," "the plague" to the outrageous — "something I don't understand". "North wind" and Litvinova will argue, but the fact that the production cut was not the standard patterns of modern theater, but technology is a fact.
Interview with Renata Litvinova after the performance.
— I wrote the play quickly, maybe for a month. And then set it under artists. Because I have one actor asked for a monologue, the second artist asked for something… Falling in love with artists, I've done their part. In the future, play I want to publish, because it is wider than what you saw on stage today.
— And why such a choice is North, not West or South. It is warmer?
Because we're not the South, and in principle, it conveys our mysterious territory. Grey fields where there is a curator who commit to control the chaos and to control it is absolutely impossible. What is this territory?
— You Russia mean? It seemed to me that you have it is life in General.
— Yes, it's life. You know, I don't like documentary — a specific time, a specific place. No, I'm always up for some tale.
— But you have such a fairy tale necrophiliac happened.
— Why do you not want to know this? After all, the two main themes of art — love and death. One without the other does not exist.
— Love and death — not news, right?
— Why-it's all very very turn a blind eye. In a sense, you show them the North wind. Remember: "Look in my eyes — they cry", and they don't want to look in the crying eyes. North wind. Can I tell you — it's very scary.
— You want to scare the audience?
I don't want to scare the audience. I just want to tell them that the eyes are crying.

I have finished the book "I'm Not Good Enough"... And Other Lies Women Tell Themselves. I started skimming through and taking notes for the GiG meetings we'll be having covering the book. The first section of the book is about getting to know who the real enemy is that whispers lies in our ears. Of course, many of us know it's that devil we call Satan. Sharon, along with many Bible teachers believes the fall of Lucifer (Satan) is recorded in Isaiah 14:12-15 and Ezekiel 28:11-19. I won't argue for nor against that teaching. We do know Jesus saw Satan fall from heaven (Luke 10:17-19). We also learn of the war in Heaven in Revelation 12. I know. I know. Revelation gets into prophecy and theological debates BUT there is a mixture of past and future in this particular scene. Kinda like a Reader Digest version of a bunch of events.
I have thoughts though! I should say, I pondered some thoughts. For instance, let's go with the popular thought Lucifer (aka Satan) was an angel. Why did he rebel? How did he possibly convince 1/3rd of Heaven's angelic host to rebel right along side of him? He had everything! Beauty. Talent. When God created him, it was like God gave him the extra special treatment. Everything God blessed Lucifer with wasn't enough! God's gifts weren't to him weren't enough. He wanted more! He wanted God's throne!
However, what kept the other angels from rebelling against God? You know ... Gabriel and Michael. Why didn't Gabriel rebel? Why didn't Michael rebel? What about the others? What made them decide to stay on God's team and not follow Lucifer?
Know what I think? Gabe and Mike were and are content (satisfied, fulfilled) with the gifts, talents, and task God gave them! They love God and desire nothing more than to be in His service.
Paul writes in Philippians 4:12-13 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength. (NIV). In Hebrews: Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." (13:5 NIV)
So, the question for you and me is: Are we content (satisfied, fulfilled) with the gifts, talents, and task God gives us? Is God really all you or I need? Can God ever be enough for each of us? Until the answer is "yes", we'll not feel at peace. God wants to give us good things! He doesn't want us looking around at what everyone else has and getting upset because we think someone else gift is nicer.
What are some of God's gifts He gives that we tend to be "dissatisfied" with? Singleness. Marriage. The house we live in. The car we drive. Our hair color (its ok to grin!). Our job. Our skin color. Our children. These are just a few! The list can be a mile long!! In Sharon's book, she covers the age old "I'd be happy if (you fill in this blank)". Until we see this as a lie that Satan plants in our brains and replace it with God's truth, we'll never be satisfied. The blessings God gives us will be unwanted gifts.
Last August, my mother wanted to give me a birthday present that I'd really like. She knows I like a certain store in the mall. I showed her the scents I like. When I opened my present, the wrong scent was in there! I was upset! I didn't get mad at her but I was thinking "This is NOT what I showed her!" I had showed her two. Then she explained what happened. The store didn't have one of the favorite scents and she couldn't remember the other one. The clerk talked her into the one she bought me. It still smelled nice. I felt like a complete jerk that I hadn't appreciated the efforts of my half blind mom who loves me so much to fight her way into that mad house to buy me a birthday present because she loves me.
How many times do we do that with the gifts God gives us? How many times do we open a gift from Him just to look at Him and say "You gave me this? I told You what I wanted." God knows better for each of us. He sees what we cannot. He knows some of the things we ask for might cause us harm. He also knows we have limited imagination. Some of the things we ask for aren't always very good and God wants to give very good gifts!
Is the gifts, talents, and task God has given you ... Are they good enough? Is God enough for you? Does He complete you? Does He satisfy you? Interesting questions ....

MARCH BOOK READTuesday, 13 March 2018
It was the cover image that captured my attention to pick up the book and lean in, the image of two black women in their beautiful black hair, smiling at each other. With closer attention, I learned that one of the familiar faces with one of South Africa's most decorated woman in business and leadership, Dr Judy Dlamini. It was the third point of observation, the title on the cover "Equal But Different: Women Leaders' Life Stories – Overcoming Race, Gender and Social Class" and paging through the pages and seeing the black powerful women leaders profiled that convinced me to eventually buy the book with much excitement.
"My interest in this area of study is based on my strong belief that people are born equal but different. It is a belief that equity across gender, race, social class and sexual orientation will be attained in my lifetime."
This is the opening quote of the first chapter of the book, where Dr Judy Dlamini unpacks the motivation for choosing the social identities of race, gender and class to carry the narrative of the book and the genesis of the book's conception. The strongly academic tone of this opening chapter (very well consistent throughout the book) is sweetened by a framework suggested by authors Dlamini fondly quotes Nkomo and Ngambi (2009), a meso-level approach to women leadership that is operational at Societal, Individual and Organisational Level.
I'm so incredibly excited to be affirmed every day I see a sea of women, and particularly for my societal identity, black women who are successful in business and technology. Representation matters, it does, and what matters within the confines and decoration of the politics of the image of your role models is also what they consume to inform their society. Taking into account the time period of Apartheid that these women grew up in, the socialism of not only gender but race played a role in how their lives turned out and ultimately, what class they managed to place themselves in, consciously and unconsciously.
In the chapter that followed, Dr Dlamini goes on to profile numerous leaders including United Nations Under-Secretary General and Executive Director of UN Women Dr Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, CEO of Barclays Africa's Maria Ramos, Founder of Fly Blue Crane's Siza Mzimela, and current President of the Republic of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa to name a few – this is where it got real for me.
The general consensus from the series of interviews confirmed this for me from the array of women leaders interviewed:
· Most of the women interviewed were black women, and the further education either in Europe or North America afforded them the entry point into the social class privilege that they enjoy today
· Men, and especially white men seem to be better mentors and sponsors to women at the start and peak of their careers
· Black women don't see white women as allies, mainly because as Gloria Serobe puts it "…. White women are struggling to accept that they were marginalised; the fact is that they were. They benefitted from employment equity."
From foreign perspectives of both women and men leaders, the consumption of feminism from both men and men to the strategy of quotas to enable more women into not only boards but also the transition from middle-level to senior-level management, this book peeled many layers to its honest core. The one unpleasantry of the book had to be the constant repetition of quotes from Chapter 2 "South African women's life journeys" throughout the book from Chapters 3 onwards through to the final chapter. The reference of the chapters were written in a manner as though the reader started reading from Chapter 3 and skipped pages, instead from the beginning.
"There was consensus among the interviewees that women tended to work in support departments, which did not expose them to leadership positions. Cora emphasised the importance of being in a revenue-generating position within the organisation as a success strategy, while Tomatoe Serobe, co-founder and CEO of WipCapital, emphasised the need for women to understand the business of their company as a whole rather than only the small division where they worked."
For a young woman starting out in her career and/or business, this is a book of great insights and a look at what not only successful black women representation looks like, but also a consultation on where and how one would draw the line in being an ableist of sexism, tokenism and other –isms in your career journey. Take heed of the strategies and advice supplied by these global leaders and do your best in your journey.

Speaking at the Heart of: Women, Diversity and InclusionWednesday, 27 December 2017
The first engagement to become a keynote speaker in 2017 came at the invitation of She Leads Africa (SLA) at their annual Cape Town edition of the SheHive meetup, and it was the opportunity to talk about being a woman in the space of technology and innovation and how to tap into being an intrapreneur in a multinational company. I accepted the invitation because of the crush that I have on SLA'S content and network, as well as because I was afraid as hell and wanted to take me on.
Innovation in Sustainability
Taking me on meant giving me another chance, a chance explained best by Marianne Williamson in her daily devotional entitled "365 Days of Miracles" when she says, "I have not always behaved in ways that have maximized my opportunities. But the fact that attracted them means that they were mine". So I needed to give myself a chance in my fear, and find a way to communicate and learn through that.
I define innovation as a social process that enables new ideas and perspectives to serve customers and the larger ecosystem to win in dynamic markets and develop the growth of an entity or economy, and through its creativity, become sustainable. It is through this definition that contextualises the framework of the speaking engagements that I take on, this through also being a part of organisations like Thomson Reuters, One Young World, GirlHYPE and my personal brand that grants me an opportunity to be a part of dialogues and events that are of impact.
Diversity and Inclusion Mansplained in Industry
The retention of talent and its creativity of an entity is reliant on the sustainability of innovation of the company - it's a talent attracting talent. The opportunity to be on panel discussions like the inaugural Standard Bank (JHB) and Facebook Africa (CPT) Women in Technology Conferences and being nominated for the Inspiring Fifty Women in Technology of South Africa 2017 allowed me some perspective on specifically, South Africa's agenda for the woman in technology, and there's still a lot of work to be done. In as much as we can lean in, there's still the open secret of the profit of having men as allies in the movement of leaning in and inclusion, because the reality is that our male (industry) colleagues have not only social capital, but the superpower of mainsplaining it into existence and action. And don't get me wrong, by no means is this a call to action to let us women lie low a little, it's instead what I'm hoping to be as Oprah Winfrey says, an "AHA" moment to leverage on this capital and take more risks.
The Women in Technology Opportunity
I am a young, black woman in technology working for a multinational, and this is my experience and lived perspective on what the concept of Diversity and Inclusion means for and impacts me. It's beyond gender and race, but systems put in place that need another social process (and policies) to develop the growth of the ecosystem that misrepresents them, to win FOR us (minorities) so we can win WITH them (capitalism). How can we all win? Through the Thomson Reuters Sustainability website, I shared some ideas on how to not only encourage young executives to become more acquintainted with SDGs but be more involved with innovation in the company.
After all, as author and entrepreneur Devon Franklin echoes, one must " … be willing to negotiate from a level of compensation from a commitment that you are able to keep. Never allow your life to be less than your worth – NEGOTIATE AND ARTICULATE."
I am so excited for the future of the woman in STEM in Africa because we're in the great hands of GirlHYPE , Africa Teen Geeks , Taungana Africa , Mawazo Institute and more that I can't possibly list all – but trust me, there's great women and men who are ensuring that the girl child, be it in the village or urban areas are educated. And like I always mention, that Women, Diversity and Inclusion is not just a moral but a business issue, and going forward into 2018, I'm honoured to be serving as a non-executive board director for Non-Profit company, GirlHYPE, to develop the next pipeline of African women in STEM!

Africa 4.0 Breakfast Innovation ExperienceWednesday, 24 May 2017
On the 2nd of May, Thomson Reuters Labs – Cape Town, in partnership with The Durban Innovation Hub and The Makerspace, and supported by the World Economic Forum Global Shapers hosted an Africa 4.0 Innovation Breakfast Experience with a focus on The Power of Co-creation and Africa 4.0 as a pre-cursor to The World Economic Forum (WEF) Africa 2017.
Unpacking Africa 4.0
The breakfast brought together corporate innovation panellists from Grinrod, Thomson Reuters and Kusini Water to unpack Africa 4.0 and provide insights into Africa's data scarcity gap, how corporate innovation has its role to growing the continent and exploring where Africa is going. Thought leader of industry and founder of WEF, Klaus Schwab describes the Fourth Industrial Revolution as a revolution that is empowering and human centred that is driven by the convergence of new technologies with the physical, digital and biological worlds. It is a revolution that will impact economies and industries, and will stretch itself to challenge ideas in how we communicate, consume and produce.
What does investing in the Fourth industrial revolution mean for Africa - dubbed Africa 4.0?
In understanding what Africa 4.0 is and its impact, Thomson Reuters' SVP, Head of Innovation for Africa, Saidah Nash Carter kickstarted the discussion by unraveling what was at the centre of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. "Humanity and the impact that technology has on people is the ultimately the heart of the latest revolution, and our role as Thomson Reuters can be to leverage its proven strength in data innovation to convene and empower the increasingly interconnected ecosystem." Nash Carter expanded on the concept, talking to the opportunity that Africa 4.0 presents for inclusive growth for developing markets.
Tapping the opportunity of Shared Business Value creation through Africa 4.0
"It is possible to do good business, profit and social impact are not mutually exclusive." Using the Port Maputo in Mozambique as a case study, panelist Cathie Lewis, Group Company Secretary of Grinrod, expressed the concern about shared business value creation when engaging in the commercial value of corporate innovation. Grinrod is a global holding company that operates in the freight logistics, shipping and financial services, and does so with the unique objective of servicing Africa trade flows.
Speaking to the company's customer relationship with Maputo Port, Lewis expressed the opportunity to create a shared business value chain in Mozambique since the aid-reliant country's financial aid cut by a couple of donors in 2016 meant unstable economic growth and activity. The opportunity in shared business value creation is in the World Bank's Mozambique's strategy in reinvesting the natural wealth and the country's build environment asset of the Port and decentralize it for human and institutional capital and do good business.
The value created from solutions of such challenges lies at the intersection of Africa 4.0 and its technologies and recognizing that value add needs to come from the corner of multi-stakeholder engagement. This ecosystem is one that recognises the stakeholders at Port Maputo, the Mozambican government to workers, and immediate communities. The objective of Africa 4.0 should aim to look at how we can harness these new technologies to share business value creation for all stakeholders involved
Investing in multi-stakeholder cooperation across all industry
Bringing the conversation to multi-stakeholder investments, Nash Carter recognised the value of entrepreneurs in empowering communities and economies, just as Murendeni Mafumo is with Kusini Water. Using nano-technology and solar power to produce water, Kusini Water thrives on sustainable business models of lease agreements, pay per litre of water used and sale of the systems. A passionate water scientist and entrepreneur, Mafumo echoed his conviction of decentralization of resources in industries, and using the opportunity of collaboration as a tool of accelerating innovation, and shared business value.
Collaboration of startups, private and public sectors is at the heart of innovation, this value creation should not only be empowering, but be built on self-sustaining models like Mafuno's business.
Harnessing the power of Africa 4.0
With a defined term of Africa 4.0 for us to understand, how do we leverage the potential of this revolution of humanity to achieve SDGs, Vision 2030 and the agendas of all stakeholders involved? This can be enabled with disruptive leadership that is both responsive and responsible, and continued investments in push strategies of partnerships that share the same purpose in value creation and empowerment for everyone involved in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

New renewable systems that provide enough energySat-18-2016
The Internet of Things (IoT) revolution will bring a rise in productivity and lower time spent on a single process, but something not factored into the surge in connected devices is energy consumption.
That may lead to an increase in carbon emissions, if smart city planners are unable to develop renewable systems that provide enough energy while not being intrusive to daily life, like wind turbines.
System utilizes both kind of energie
Fortunately, researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology and the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology in Beijing have built a renewable system that fits on top of buildings and utilizes both wind and solar power in one convenient system.
"To realize the sustainable energy supply in a smart city, it is essential to maximize energy scavenging from the city environments for achieving the self-powered functions of some intelligent devices and sensors," said the team in an ACS Nano publication. "Although the solar energy can be well harvested by using existing technologies, large amounts of wasted wind energy in the city cannot be effectively utilized since conventional wind turbine generators can only be installed in remote areas due to their large volumes and safety issues."
Two new nanogenerators that can scavenge solar and wind energies
"Here, we rationally design a hybridized nanogenerator, including a solar cell and a triboelectric nanogenerator, that can individually/simultaneously scavenge solar and wind energies, which can be extensively installed on the roofs of the city buildings."
The system is capable of harvesting 8 milliWatts of solar power and 26 milliWatts of wind power, enough to power 3,400 LED lights. For low power IoT devices, this is perfect as it doesn't require a huge amount of space and is fully renewable energy.
There are other ways to harvest wind energy without using turbines. Plenty of smart cities are adding small wind turbines to new homes, alongside solar panels, to harvest the most renewable energy possible.
However, wind energy has become a secondary cause for many, as solar panel sales skyrocket. Part of the reason for wind turbines lack of success is the lack of energy produced by small turbines, something that the team of researchers appear to have fixed with their dual setup.

Can I help you, Sir?
by Anhoni Patel on Sep 29, 2007
At first Todd is clearly unhappy with the situation. He's disheveled, has a bad case of the runs and is being forced to stay in a country he knows nothing about. There is, of course, the obligatory sequence of scenes showcasing all the cultural differences Todd has to suffer through. Most films turn these scenes into campy, slightly insulting reductions.
But here they are done just right. And the differences are not all the obvious ones seen over and over again; for example, the habit of eating with one's right hand instead of the left; language miscommunications, and violations of personal space.
But Todd, which everyone pronounces as "toad", perseveres. His arrogant attitude diminishes as he gets more and more exposed to the country and his co-workers at the call center outside of Mumbai where he is doing his training. Some of the best and most endearing scenes occur during these training sessions.
Its hard to imagine that the vast majority of the cast is "unknown" except for Todd, Asha (Ayesha Dharker), Todd's co-worker with whom he has instant chemistry, and Purohit N. Virajnarianan (Asif Basra), his replacement. The acting is right on and does not seem forced at all; except for a few tentative scenes with Josh Hamilton as Todd at the beginning of the film, which make you truly realize that this is indeed an indie film and not a big-budget Hollywood spectacle.
And thank god for that, as Outsourced is a little gem in the sea of highly marketed Fall films. It is both engaging and funny in a way that sets it apart from other movies this year. However, while the cultural elements are all on par, there is one plot turn which is wholly unbelievable -- that of the relationship between Todd and Asha, which seems neither genuine nor believable. With one fell swoop, the entire film's credibility is called into question. Why did co-writer/director John Jeffcoat tack on their relationship like that? By doing so he introduces a whole slew of sticky issues: exotification, interracial relationships, class dynamics, gender inequities, etc.
Nonetheless, Outsourced accomplishes what it sets out to do by taking a "hot topic" like outsourcing and turning it into a heartfelt cultural comedy. It could very well be the sleeper hit of 2007.

i guess theres always a certain amount of excitement that comes with airports; your either going somewhere or returning home. airports are fun. there's so many different people from all sorts of different places of the world speaking all sorts of different languages. i find it fascinating. i like people watching. i like airports.
over the years i've spent time in several airports and yeah, vancouver is my favourite. main reason is probably due to the fact that it has an aquarium. yes, it has an aquarium, which you get to see if your flying internationally. i get very excited about aquariums. i like sea life. i'm pretty sure if i hadn't followed the arts, i would have probably gone with biology and become a marine biologist.
|cool lights. think this was moxies...or milestones? maybe earls....all the same
|there's something very calming about airports when they are empty
|vancouver in the distance
|the plane that took me to europe
|if i hadn't followed the arts, i would have become a marine biologist
|i had an empty seat beside me. it was like traveling with an imaginary friend
|there was LOTS of babies on the flight
|vancouver lights; too bad it was still early-ish and cloudy

SOMERSWORTH — Jake Ducharme couldn't be stopped.
Locked in from the opening kickoff, the Somersworth High School forward served as the lone source of offense for the Hilltoppers' boys soccer team on Thursday, tucking in all three of their goals on the way to a 3-0 win over Division III foe Laconia.
"It was really all about teamwork and everyone playing their part," Ducharme said. "I couldn't have scored if I was the only one out there so I want to thank my teammates."
Ducharme's first goal (36th minute) came late in the first half. With the ball at his feet, Ducharme weaved his way through a number of Laconia defenders, found space just above the middle of the box and booted a strike to open up the scoring.
His second came on a nearly identical chance. Setting himself up in the middle of the pitch just above the box, Ducharme received a pass from teammate Nick Dalesio, settled the ball, aimed and fired, to give Somersworth (4-2-1) a 2-0 lead in the 50th minute.
"Our movement off the ball was much better in the second half," Somersworth coach Matthew Carrington said. "Our short passing game really held up for us in the second half and gave us a decent amount of opportunities."
Ducharme got one more look at the net in the 72nd minute when he was able to sneak behind the front line of the Laconia (2-4-1) defense with the ball. Dribbling down the left side, Ducharme had just one man to beat and faked outside before crossing back toward the middle, where he was able to kick it right above the outstretched hands of the goalie.
"I saw (the defender) running straight so I said might as well cut back and see what happens," Ducharme said. "And sure enough it was the right decision, so all I can do is be thankful."
Despite only one of his goals being assisted on, a lot of the credit should be given to the Somersworth defense. The Hilltoppers were solid on that end of the field, consistently cutting off Laconia's runs and clearing the ball out of their own zone to get things moving offensively. It started with both their backs and goalkeeper, Jimmy Dalesio, who had three saves on the day.
"Bryce Karcher had a phenomenal game today," Carrington said. "Very rarely was he beat today; he was in the right position and he was a wall on his half of the field. We got a great effort out of him and Dan Smith in the back playing behind him. It was two great individual efforts that played to a team shutout today."
"They have an outstanding keeper," Laconia coach Joey DiTommaso said. "He's very, very, very good. I knew going in it was going to be real tough to put a crooked number on the board. In the first half we had Kaleb Shumway and he was breaking free for a lot of runs and they really shadowed him and spotlighted him. They had two defenders on him the entire time and, unfortunately, we didn't have anybody else to step up and take some of that offensive load off of him."

December 13, 2007 08:30 ET
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Dec. 13, 2007) - Midlands Minerals Corporation ("Midlands" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:MEX) is pleased to report results from RC holes 29 and 30 on Sian (Ghana) confirm the extension of the gold zone which was discovered by RC hole 02 as reported in the Company's news release of June 11, 2007. Hole RC 02 was drilled in the first part of the drill program in April-May 2007. Holes RC 29 and RC 30 are follow-up holes which were located on either side of hole RC 02 to provide the orientation and to test for continuity of the gold structure.
The Company is pleased to report that:
- RC drill results to date show the existence of a significant new gold zone between Esaase and Esaase East measuring at least 400 meters in strike length;
- RC holes 29 and 30 were drilled 50 meters on either side of RC 02 and assay results have confirmed gold grade continuity (1.71 g/t over 7 meters, 1.34 g/t over 7 meters);
- Diamond drill holes 16, 17 and 18 were testing the Esaase deposit at depth. Assays from these holes have outlined another gold zone which is connected to RC 02, RC 29 and RC 30;
- RC 23 and RC 25 which are located 579 meters south of RC 29 are interpreted as the south extension of the new zone.
Please click here for map linkwww.midlandsminerals.com/press_releases/images/Drill_Intersection_12_07.pdf
Three zones (Esaase deposit, the HW Zone, the Esaase East gold showing) together with the interval holes RC 23 and RC 25, outline a gold trend 200 meters wide by 1.6 kilometres in strike length. The continuity of the zone from RC hole 02 has been confirmed by holes RC 29 and RC 30 and the Company's interpretation is that this zone is connected to a gold zone located in the hanging wall (HW zone) of the Esaase deposit which was intersected by diamond holes 16, 17 and 18. The Company's interpretation is that the RC 02-RC 29-RC 30 zone and the HW Zone are part of the same mineral zone. This gold zone connects the Esaase East gold showing to the Esaase deposit.
Sian is a fully permitted past open pit gold producer located on the Ashanti Gold belt, 30 kilometres northeast of Newmont Mining's 8+ million ounce Akyem gold deposit. The Sian gold mineralization type is a silica-carbonate alteration with disseminated pyrite similar to that found at Newmont's Akyem gold deposit. Sian produced gold between 2001 and 2004 with a mineral recovery of 91%.
The following is a summary of intersections:
Grade gold zones (cut off of 0.5 g/t Au) and anomalous gold zones (cut off of 0.1 g/t Au)
RC 029 1.71 g/t Au over 7.0 meters Grade Zone from 5.0 m to 12.0 m 0.19 g/t Au over 29.0 meters Anomalous zone from 64.0m to 81.0 m 0.19 g/t Au over 17.0 meters from Anomalous zone 86.0 m to 103 m
RC 002 1.50 g/t Au over 5.0 meters Grade Zone from 63.0 m to 68.0 m
RC 030 1.34 g/t Au over 7.0 meters from Grade Zone 76.0 m to 83.0 m 0.37 g/t Au over 39.0 meters from Anomalous Zone 72.0 m to 111.0 m
MEDD 016 2.67 g/t Au over 7.0 meters from HW zone 127.0 m to 134.0 m 2.96 g/t Au over 7.0 meters from Esaase zone 238.0 m to 245.0 m
MEDD 017 2.63 g/t Au over 1 meter from Grade HW Zone 45.0 m to 46.0 m 0.53 g/t Au over 7 meters from Anomalous HW Zone 39.0 m to 46.0 m
0.86 g/t Au over 2 meters from Grade HW Zone 149.0 m to 153 m 0.37 g/t Au over 7 meters from Anomalous Zone 146.0 m to 153 m
MEDD 018 0.78 g/t Au over 3.6 meters from Grade HW zone 19.4 m to 23.0 m 0.54 g/t Au over 30 meters from Grade HW zone 126.5 to 156.5 m
RC 025 1.35 g/t Au over 2 meters from Grade Zone 100.0 m to 102.0 m 0.20 g/t Au over 32 meters from Anomalous Zone 82.0 m to 114.0 m
RC 023 7.42 g/t Au over 1 meter from Grade Zone 126.0 m to 127.0 m 0.535 g/t Au over 17 meters from Anomalous Zone 112.0 m to 129.0 m

I want to talk to you about your water bottle carrier. You do it. I do it. None of us should really, especially in the summer time. We carry our fluids in a pack, on our horse. Ummmmmmm...really bad idea. I found myself in a situation a couple of years ago that came awful close to doing me in. I was only two and a half miles from home. Doesn't sound like much of a hike does it? My horse did a big 180 on an upward hill climb, hammered me to the ground, and the last I saw from her were hoof boots flying in the air and her at full gallop into the woods. (It was small tree limb that set her off btw)
So there I stand. It is hot, about 90 degrees. It is extremely humid that morning. My anxiety is pumping because I have no idea where my horse has run off to, and I set out on foot hoping to find her with the assumption that she will "most likely" run for home. No biggy right? 2 1/2 miles, easy hike right? Ummmm....wear is my water bottle? It is on the horse where most of us keep our water holder. So I start hiking those big hills towards home, I'm soaked in sweat, my heart is hammering like a caged bird in my chest, suddenly I get goose pimples all up and down my arms....goose pimples? Next thing I'm dizzy and my mouth feels like cotton. I'm have a heat related emergency and I'm still a mile and a half from home. That fast, that quickly I'm in serious trouble. It wasn't a fitness problem, it was a heat problem. Had I been wearing one of these
Or one of these:I'd have probably been okay.
But I was not okay. By the time I reached our back field and found my horse I was vomiting. I'm not sure how I got on the horse I was so sick. So sick that when I finally got home my saddle was left laying in the yard where I dropped it. Veins were standing up as big as my index finger on my face, I was beet red, and sicker than I've ever been. I got lucky. Lucky? Yes lucky. If I'd have not found the horse when I did, I don't believe I'd have made it home. My body would have gone into full blown heat stroke and I'd have probably died right there within visual distance of my home. My legs could not coordinate to carry me not ONE. MORE. STEP. I could have avoided that by having water on me, instead of my horse. I could have called for help, but guess what? Phone was in that saddle pack too. Use those saddle packs for things pertaining to your horse. For your personal essentials (water, phone, electrolyte packet, breakfast bar), keep them on your person in a fanny pack of some sort. It takes a little getting used to, but it is worth it. Just think about what could happen, out in the woods, five miles, ten miles, fifteen miles from anything or anybody? In most instances you are riding with a buddy and somebody has a water bottle, but some of us (me) ride out there alone. Be safe by being prepared. ~ E.G.
P.S. Wouldn't hurt to have an energy gel/ electrolyte in that pack.
P.S.S. I like the above pack called the Nathan Triangle it only has one water bottle, but one beats none, and I like the angle which would be more comfortable on the hip. If you went ahead and filled it with an electrolyte drink, drank out of the one's on the saddle, and reserved this one for an emergency 22 ounces of fluid would be real helpful.

We tend to ride with a fanny pack when bare-back, and tend to hang a first aid kit from the horse's neck (hmmmm?). Just didn't give it that much thought, probably because every time I've been dumped, I've opened my eyes to find my horse staring down at me, trying to figure out why I was there! Good thoughts.ReplyDelete

My old arabian mare was eyesight impaired and she'd spin back now and then and dump me in the process. She was one of those that would stop and stare down at me like "how'd you get down there?" At least she didn't run off like her offspring...ReplyDelete

This is my grandma quilt. I just finished "quilting" it right now. I used yarn, so it is kinda cheating. Right now it is 12:42 am easter morning and I didn't want this in my family room when people come over for dinner tomorrow - I mean today. When Grandma died, I went to her house after everyone had gone through all her stuff and picked out things that reminded me of her to make this fabulously ugly quilt with. She did have some interesting tastes! Included in this quilt are her bathroom towels, sheets, dish towels, the pink chair arm covers, the chicken tea cozy that was on her microwave (top right) and my favorites: the gold and green velvet chairs and the blue and pink housecoat she always wore. It is very, very ugly, but it holds a lot of memories! I can smell the bacon now!

That really was an incredible idea! I hope you have enough scraps to make one for each of us :) and that you recorded the memories associated with each scrap (wouldn't want to leave your grandchildren thinking you just made some random, ugly quilt!)

Intracranial Pressure VIII pp 511-514 | Cite as
Characteristics of ICP of Head Injury in the Elderly
It is well known that the outcome after head injury is related to the patient's age and score on the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) [1, 3]. On the other hand, the value of monitoring of the intracranial pressure (ICP) in patients with severe head injury has been well documented [2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10]. Teasdale et al. [10] suggest that ICP measurement is useful in all head injury patients with mass lesions, occult hematoma, postoperative swelling and in patients with a normal CT scan and any of the following risk factors: abnormal motor responses, hypotension, or over 40 years old. Little specific information is available concerning ICP monitoring of head injury in the elderly. This study presents the clinical aspects and characteristics of ICP in the elderly, head injured population.

As I alluded to in last week's post, I made another purchase for the portfolio at the end of February:
I picked up 70 shares of SDRL. Seadrill limited is a deepwater drilling master limited partnership. Its one I have had on my radar for quite some time. I bought the shares at a price of $36.30. This will add $59.50 per quarter to my dividend totals. With this purchase, my projected dividends in my taxable accounts for the next 12 months is $22,813.90. Awesome total; even with buying a house I still feel like I can hit my dividend goals for the year! I guess things are still going steady almost 3 months into the year.

Zamore Mobile Pizzeria food truck has grown up and found a home in downtown Fresno under a new name – Grizzly City Pizza & Pub.
Nestled between Chukchansi Park and Fulton Mall on Tulare Street, the family-friendly Italian pub-style restaurant opened its doors where Coney Island Restaurant once stood. The owner hopes to ignite downtown Fresno's nightlife by trading in the truck for a brick-and-mortar downtown property and providing a casual, affordable hangout spot to grab a drink, enjoy some handmade food and watch a game.
"We had so many unsatisfied people who were wanting our pizza," owner Sean Duquette said. "But they couldn't get it if they didn't know where the truck was. Now we have a home."
With sleek hardwood floors, the elongated rectangle of a restaurant features vintage lighting and a pizza kitchen in view of the tables and bar, which will start serving alcohol once a liquor license goes into effect in the fall. Although the walls are still decorated with murals from the restaurant's days as Downtown Hofbrau, a German eatery, the rest of the decor is modern, clean and classic.
The Duquettes made several aesthetic remodels to the restaurant, and said there are plans for both a front and back patio, as well as a second bar in the upstairs mezzanine overlooking the restaurant floor and kitchen. Sean Duquette said he thought it was important to make the place his own, with character, charisma and an atmosphere to match the food.
Before the renovations, the building was home to other restaurants, including the historic Coney Island, which was open for 77 years in Fresno before closing in 2000. Since then, Downtown Hofbrau and Thai Yum Yum were among the restaurants that tried the downtown spot.
Sean Duquette said the time, effort and money put into remaking the restaurant would be enough to drive customers. Grizzly City Pizza & Pub also delivers to downtown and the Tower District, which Sean hopes will anchor the business.
"The business is here," he said. "You just have to care about your food and care about your business. People want to eat something fresh and handmade, and that's what we have to offer."
The food is meant to be affordable, shareable and handmade from locally-grown, organic ingredients, which Sean thinks will drive traffic in the door, regardless of the sometimes short lives of other restaurants downtown.
Grizzly City Pizza & Pub serves sandwiches, sliders, appetizers and salads in addition to its specialty pizzas, like the Thai fusion option, which Micah Duquette, the 11-year-old pizza maker and nephew of the owner, said was his favorite item on the menu. He was excited to see more options added to the menu now that a full-sized kitchen was available to them.
The restaurant is family owned and operated, which adds to the welcoming homemade feel of the cozy downtown pizza joint.
"The best part of this whole thing has been spending time with my family," Micah Duquette said. He started making pizzas in the food truck when he was 9. "I want to own this place when I grow up."
The incoming seventh grader isn't alone in his long-term hopes for Grizzly City Pizza & Pub's success. Three generations of Duquettes work in the restaurant, and the family spent two years developing recipes, Sean Duquette said.
He and his father, Steve Duquette, look forward to being at the forefront of Grizzly City's role in the downtown area.
"I'm excited about downtown," Steve Duquette said. "I hope it becomes a nighttime hangout. I think we'll see a lot of changes in the years to come around here."
Although he thinks these changes may be a few years out, Grizzly City is working toward being at the forefront of the growth.
"We're offering something different than Club Brazil or Club One," Sean Duquette said. "There isn't really anything like this quite yet."
Adding a sports bar-style restaurant to downtown Fresno will give locals another option to spend an evening with family, coworkers of fellow sports fans in a welcoming environment.
Visit Grizzly City Pizza and Pub at 1920 Tulare St. between Chuckchansi Park and Fulton Mall on Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
