Movie Review: Disney/Pixar's Cars 2 (2011)
|Cars 2 is different from
its predecessor, but still very much the same
|When Disney/Pixar's Cars hit
theaters in 2006 , I had absolutely no desire to see it.
Although I do enjoy Disney/Pixar movies, in fact
one of my
favorite movies of all time is Finding Nemo, I have no
interest in car racing and my only interest in cars is that
they are a way to get from point A to point B. Even after my
young nephews became obsessed with everything Cars, I
Years later, I decided to give Cars a try. I popped a Cars DVD into my DVD player. I figured that I could pop it out again when I got bored. Instead, I was entranced. The movie wasn't just about car racing, or even cars for that matter, it was about friendship and finding one's self. Not only did I fall in love with the story, the songs "Find Yourself" and "Our Town" are now on the playlist of my iPod.
And so it was with great anticipation that I donned my 3D glasses in Disney's El Capitan Theater in Hollywood, California as the lights dimmed and the curtains parted for Cars 2. I was a little hesitant about the movie because I'd heard that it would incorporate one of my not-so-favorite genres: the spy genre.
Although Cars 2 looked very different from its predecessor, in some ways, it was exactly the same. To start, the movies share a director, John Lasseter, so his touch would be expected to be infused throughout both movies.
In Cars 2, racecar Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson) and his naive tow truck friend Mater (voiced by Larry the Cable Guy) travel far from home to participate in the World Grand Prix. This time, it is Mater that experiences the culture shock that McQueen experienced in the first movie. As Mater takes his personal journey, he, and the audience, explore Tokyo, Porto Corsa (a fictional Italian costal city), Paris, and London.
The beautifully rendered destinations are instantly recognizable, but reflect the fact that this world is a world for cars rather than people. The visuals are even more spectacular, and feel more real, in 3D. By the end of the movie, I felt like I'd taken a trip around the world.
I also felt that same sense of engagement with the characters that I'd felt watching Cars; I really cared about them. Cars 2 even had a few laugh out loud, funny moments. I didn't shed any tears (which is fine by me).
I fully expected to enjoy Cars 2, and I did. As is rarely the case for me when it comes to movies, I'd happily watch it again!
|Jen's grade:
Absolutely go see it!
Cars 2 opened in theaters on June 24, 2011.
Cars 2 is rated G.

Living in Ontario, Canada means we have an abundance of two key resources: freshwater and hardwood, which require the proper tools to travel efficiently and survive sustainably in the wilderness. A canoe is the best (and most fun!) way to get around with all that freshwater. Almost 160,000 square kilometers (62,000 square miles) or 11% of the province is water, while Canada has more area covered by lakes than any other country in the world. In order to harvest and process the vast amounts of hardwood, the right axe must be selected.
Picking the Right Axe
The axe is arguably the most versatile and effective tool anyone can carry in the wilderness. Before you head into the woods, make sure you've got the right axe for the job. The difficulty in selecting an axe for canoe tripping, or any other form of wilderness camping, is that it needs to be versatile. Axes are typically made for a specific task – whether felling a tree, splitting logs or other specialty tasks such as log-building or carpentry duties. A Forest axe – one that is made for everything from felling trees to splitting logs – is my weapon of choice for backcountry canoe trips. The Hults Bruk Akka Forester's Axe is the best forest axe I've had the pleasure of relying on. With a 1.5 lb. axe head, 24-inch curved handle and an overall weight of 2.2 lb., it is extremely versatile and compact enough to hang off your belt.
Packing for Portages
Although most of my time is spent paddling the pristine lakes of Ontario, there is the necessity to portage from lake to lake. This is not something most people enjoy and many avoid. However with the right gear and packing experience, portaging can be quick and painless. The Akka helps achieve this efficiency thanks to its size and design. When facing a 3km portage through the woods and over the rough terrain of the rocky Canadian shield, it is key to complete it in one carry to avoid turning that 3km into a 9km back-and-forth. The 24-inch handle means it can be easily strapped to the side of a canoe pack and the 2.2 lb. weight won't be noticed.
Felling Deadwood
One of the first tasks when setting up your camp is to ensure that you have an adequate stock of dry firewood to keep you warm and to fuel your cooking – specifically in the unpredictable Canadian shoulder seasons. This begins with selecting the right wood. If green or wet wood is selected you will have a difficult time sustaining your fire or will be smoked out. Finding a standing tree that is dead and manageable to process once it is cut down is key. Selecting a tree that is too large will either make felling it more dangerous or make sure you exert too much energy or time in processing it.
During the summer months it is easy to determine which trees are dead, but when your adventure falls in the shoulder seasons it won't be as easy as looking for trees that are lacking leaves. You will need to take a closer look at the branches and bark to determine the state of the tree.
Once you have selected a tree, you need to decide the safest direction to fell the tree and begin swinging at that side while watching for falling branches. Once you have taken the tree down you need to begin limbing the branches off and cutting the trunk into manageable sections that can then be carried back to camp. If you are camped on a small island, there may not be many deadwood resources to choose from.
Your best bet in these situations is to canoe to the closest dense forest and search that area. Once you have felled and processed the wood into sections, load up your canoe and paddle back to your camp.
Although I found the Akka to be surprisingly good at splitting logs, you need to remember that it is not a true splitting axe. You must process and split logs that are manageable to avoid damaging the axe handle and tiring or hurting yourself.
Proper technique is key – hurting yourself in the wilderness is extremely dangerous. Extreme caution needs to be taken when you are days away from a hospital, especially since your way out depends on your physical abilities.
Starting the Fire
Once you have selected the appropriate wood and processed it, you can start your fire and relax!

|There is a lot of records online about Milton Harold Heidelbaugh, but I do not have any contact with any of the Heidelbaugh family members. I just found out on Christmas that he was my Great-great great Grandfather. I wanted more information about the history of the entire family, names, deaths dates birth dates and marriage dates. I know the ancestors of the Heidelbaugh family came to America from the northern part of Germany early in the eighteenth century. The great-grandfather of Milton Heidelbaugh, who was a farmer, settled in the Octoraro valley, among the Quakers. The names I have acquired were from the wesite: http://www.pa-roots.org/data/read.php?31,103817 Beyond that I do not know much more. I would appreciate any information that you can provide.

|I believe it was my 6th-great-grandfather SAMUEL SCOTT who died intestate in Little Britain Township in 1757. His son John Scott was named administrator. Other sons were James (d. 1765), William, and (I think) Samuel Scott (my 5th-gg). Samuel was probably the first to leave the area, possibly for NC about 1763. John seems to have remained in Little Britain until 1773. This family is probably related to other SCOTT families in Little Britain during that period: namely, Thomas Scott (d. 1789), John Scott (to NC in 1763), Samuel Scott (d. 1777), and Alexander Scott (d. 1777). This John Scott died in Guilford County, NC in 1774. His widow and three sons migrated to Washington County, VA in the 1770's. Thomas Scott's sons Andrew, Matthew, and Gabriel all appear in Guilford County, where the first two died in the early 1780's; Gabriel also migrated to Washington County, VA.

Agua Fresca: A Wonderful Non-Alcoholic Watermelon Drink Recipe
Nothing quite says summer like a big slice of juicy ripe watermelon! Our watermelon drink recipe is cooling and delicious and is the perfect summer food.
The first evidence we have of people eating watermelons goes all the way back to ancient Egypt, where watermelons were recorded in their hieroglyphics. By the 10th century, China was cultivating this luscious fruit. Today, Russia, the US, Iran and Turkey are the main producers of watermelon. You know a plant must be really good when it so effectively spreads across the world.
We can love and revere watermelon for taste alone, but did you know it's also packed with nutrients?
Watermelon has the HIGHEST amount of the powerful antioxidant lycopene than any other fruit or vegetable. This antioxidant is well researched for its benefits against heart disease and several types of cancer, namely prostrate cancer.
It's rich in vitamin A, which supports eye health, and vitamin C, which is an important player in our immune system.
The heat of summer can easily lead to dehydration and watermelon is a great way to stay hydrated! Besides offering moisture in its juicy fruit (watermelons are 90% water!) it is also high in potassium. Potassium helps to maintain our body's electrolyte balance (an important aspect of hydration) and it also supports muscle and nerve function. Potassium is also well known for its ability to control blood pressure and prevent strokes.
Letting food be our medicine isn't all that rough when it means eating watermelon!
I love watermelon, but only when it is juicy and ripe. It's very disappointing to bite into a tasteless melon! Here are a few tricks for choosing a delicious watermelon.
First, look for one that has a yellow mark on its underside as shown in this photo.This lets you know that the watermelon was ripened on a vine and not picked too early.
Also make sure the skin is firm and the shape of the watermelon is symmetrical (either round or oval). You can also knock on the watermelon with your knuckles and the resulting sound should be hollow. Lastly, the watermelon should feel heavy for its size.
Store your uncut watermelon on the counter or at room temperature. According to a study published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry this increases the amount of lycopene in the watermelon. Once it is cut, store it in the fridge and consume quickly.
In the heat of the summer I love drinking chilled fresh beverages. This year I've been experimenting with fruits and teas and in this recipe I am bringing you one of my favorite recipes.
Watermelon and Strawberry Agua Fresca
To make this recipe you'll need…
- about 5 cups of cubed watermelon (no black seeds or rinds)
- about a pint of strawberries
- 1/4 cup water
- a handful of mint
Begin by preparing the fruit. Cut the watermelon into cubes and remove any seeds.
Next prepare some juicy strawberries by cutting off the green stem. Our strawberry plants are still producing! If you aren't able to find strawberries near you, simply omit them from the recipe.
Chop up a handful of mint.
Add everything, including the 1/4 cup of water to a blender. Blend thoroughly.
For this watermelon drink recipe to have a water-like consistency you can strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve. We leave ours as is for a slushy-like texture.
Serve with a sprig of mint and enjoy!
Happy Summer!

Any trait bred for in exclusion of all others oftentimes/usually leads to detrimental results. Examples include breeding for nothing but bone and subtsance, too much angulation, too much coat, and extreme behaviors (such as frantic obsessive-compulsive behaviors and excessive eye which locks a dog onto non-herding/predatory inanimate objects such as a leaf). In the case of the Border Collie, the OCD behaviors that make for a flashy trial performance also cause the dog to worry livestock, work themseves close to death in a nonsensical fashion, and can make them poor candidates as companion or performance sport dogs. I wouldn't care spo much ezxcept that BC people often trash the breeds of others, when their own breed has a lot of problems itself. Remember the saying, "Poeple who live in glass houses..." BC people were against AKC registration, but it isn't AKC registration that changed the breed. It was the choice of PEOPLE who either wanted a trial dog, or a show dog. Look at show-bred BCs. They have drmaatically changed during the past 35 years especially in England, istraloia and New Zealand. Now, there IS a separation in the BC breed between show and trial bred dogs. Look at the ads of US and Canadian show bred BCs -- the conformation is beautifl, but they are now show dogs. They are prettier dogs, with a level topline, nice head and expression, pretty eye (NOT the ugly glaring "eye" used in trials), good bone and subsance, and a calmer demeanor. They would probably suit the average citizen as a pet. Otherwise, look at all of the BCs being dumped at selters and rescue...why? Because their extreme herding behaviors which have gone beyond what is needed on a farm or ranch. The trial-bred BC is too much for most peopleto handle. I'm an experienced behaviorist and trainer, and I prefer not to work BCs. And, guess what, I do drive a Ferrari and I have no problem in handling it. But, I need to have control of it. Not all people can do that. I don't want to see extremes bred for in any email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-66378535173627002032008-10-30T21:00:00.000-04:002008-10-30T21:00:00.000-04:00COLLIESRTOPS,if you want a dog with an "off switch...COLLIESRTOPS,

if you want a dog with an "off switch" that is fine. I want a dog with an "off switch" as well. That is why I choose not to keep collies, and keep a different breed… one that is supposed to have an off switch.

Trying to dumb down the collie and then say, "Well that is the dog that suits -my- needs." is selfish in the extreme, and detrimental to the breed. The first, best and highest calling of this particular breed is that of obsessive stock tending. If you want a different kind of dog, that is perfectly fine. But don't try to change a beautiful working breed to suit -your- needs if they are not aligned with the breed's truest working purpose.

At hias core, he is still a good all-around farm dog whether it's herding, guarding hearth or fold, killing rodents or other pests, taking care of the children, or acting as a gun dog for his owner when he isn't working stock. My father-in-law's family used to have their Collie pull a card with large milk cans to help out. A friend who is disbaled has her Collie pull a travois full of wood to help keep the winter's fire going and, when going to market, he pulls his cart filled with groceries for her. His calm demeanor and bright intelligence provide confident reassurance that she needs -- he is helping her to be as independent as she can. Another friend's Collie protected her senior husband whenh he went down in front of an aggressive ram. Spectre took charge and moved the ram away from Jim and into a nearby paddock. It does not end, and simply gets better! I say have faith -- you would be surprised at what a well-bred dog with good genes can do whether it be Collie or Border Collie. And, as far as farm ers who have flocks of sheep...I think that region must have a lot to do with the acceptance of sheepmen (or women) to use dogs. Here in Indiana, at least my area, no one uses sheepdogs on a regular basis. When asked, some dismiss it while others laugh it off. Perhaps it's because they are small flock owners who have never been convinced of the value of a good stock dog. Perhaps ignorance, or perhaps no one in their family has ever had such dogs. Oh, and by the way -- herding is not the only type of work. We could get into a pissing contest but I'm simply saying that there are those who say that sled dogs (such as those running the Iditarod are the hardest wofrking dogs on the planet, while others say hunting dogs are, hering dogs, etc. Simply said, is infintessimal types of work and sport for our dogs to do with or for us. I think they should all be recognized and accepted (except for the horrid bloodbath called dog fighting!). That said, the abilioty of dogs to flex and adjust and evolve helps to ensure their survival in this human dominated world. I admire Border Collies, but do not want to deal with the typical obsessive-compulsive behavior that comes with the package.colliesrtopshttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-9866068609049769142008-04-12T06:55:00.000-04:002008-04-12T06:55:00.000-04:00Ha! The fact that you and the American Working Co...Ha! The fact that you and the American Working Collie Association seem to think agility is work tells you a lot. Here's a hint: a border terrier can do agility. A schnauzer can do agility. A spaniel can do agility. It is not what a collie is supposed to do. As for AKC herding certificates, they are not much are they? In these things, it's hard to get a shot of the dog without a fence in the picture less than 12 feet away. Not much open-field herding, eh??! Again, we see border TERRIERS that have won AKC herding titles. It's a bit like an elephant painting a portrait of itself -- the fact that a few animals have been taught how to do this for the amusement of the tourist trade in Thailand does not suggest this is a good way to make a living in the portrait art business. And a show collie is NOT a working dog anymore. In fact, the show collie people do not even seem to know what work IS anymore!!

As for the notation that "not everyone has sheep," that is true enough, but more illuminating is the fact that the folks who DO have sheep (and there are scores of millions of sheep in this great big world) has an kennel club collie working them. The Kennel Club "scotch" collie is now a dog for hair dressers and suburban matrons who want to win weekend ribbons from show-ring enthusiasts who do not own sheep themselves. Your evidence to the contrary only afffirms and underlines the case.

This is far from the truth!. Since the early 1900s, more and more were primarily companion dogs. HOWEVER, there were still pockets of these dogs being worked on a daily basis as farm dogs. Only a small handful were trialed such as Ormskirk Charlie who is represented as one of the Supreme Champions in the book, The Blue Riband of the Heather! Not everyone has sheep, and so many more dogs are now trained and trialed in obedience trials, agility, etc. Better some type of work or sport than none at all! For more information, refer to www.awca.net. This is an organization founded in 1979 for the promotion and preservation of the Collie as a working dog including herding.

FYI The two top winners of the first herding trial held in Bala, Wales were Collies, not Border Collies. The owner of the dogs was S.E.

She was smitten with THE Collie in his original form. Just as Border Collies undoubtedly have Collie, Whippet, and Springer Spaniel coursing through their veins, the Collie continued to be a very useful dog in a variety of work and as a superior companion dog. Agriculture, and the demand for dogs as herders, has dramatically decreased beginning with the late 1800s. While I realize that that the Border Collie is now obviously the best trials dog, he is not a good pet in what is now a predomiantly companion dog society. We are working on retaining the herding instincts and abilities of the Rough and Smooth Collie, cousin or possibly even ancestor to the Border Collie, but we will probably never be at the intensely bred obsessive compulsive behavior of a typical trial BC. Granted, a small number of breeders introduced Borzoi into the Collie,but it is felt that it did NOT make it into the mainstream of the breed. If you would see a wellmade and useful "working" Collie, they a a great breed that can any type of work -- they are believed to be the most versatrile breed around. I want a dog with an off switch, not one thaqt has OCD or is a biter as are some BCs.I get tired of BC people trashing the Collie.colliesrtopshttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-14802380324923223352007-10-11T08:46:00.000-04:002007-10-11T08:46:00.000-04:00Gack!

If the members of the AKC breed club gave a rat's patoot about the authentic border collie and the complex mix of traits that make it such a remarkable animal, they'd stop title-chasing long enough to demand a closed studbook.

That's the point of the debate: the standard for a Border Collie is the WORK not its looks. The AKC will NEVER, NEVER allow a performance standard. NEVER.

Nor will they maintain an open registry forever. The registry will close as sure as God made ittle green apples. If you think the AKC Border Collie Club can keep the registry open forever, then you are simply confused as to who runs the AKC; it's not the breed clubs. It's nameless faceless staffer in New York City. New York City? That's no place for a border collie!

Two weeks ago the ABCHA held its National Finals in Gettysburg, PA. I attended with my bitch and her four month-old pup, who are not border collies, but can pass, (because, who cares what they look like?) Unlike dog shows, agility trials, etc., the competing dogs and spectators' dogs were all well-mannered. Many (including several terriers and feists) wandered at will about the handlers' tent, minding their own business. It was not evident to whom they belonged.(Because, who cares about that if they are behaving themselves?)

I had the pleasure (among many others) of watching my friend Mr. McCaig and his June qualify for the semifinals, performing a refinement of farm work that is so delicate, so precise, so exacting, that it engenders the definite idea that what one is seeing is impossible. A dog and a human being cannot do what I am seeing them do.

I have never, not once, had that thought at a dog show.

Now that the border collie is eligible to compete in CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) events, including confomration, will be interesting to see who chooses to do so and with what kind of dogs (sport collies, AKC show collies, etc).

The one question that bugs me, that none of the KC folks can answer is: how does affiliation with the KC improve the email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-22918878487983843552007-10-06T22:37:00.000-04:002007-10-06T22:37:00.000-04:00I've ordered my copy, as well.I own and breed show...I've ordered my copy, as well.

I own and breed show dogs, but I admit - and it's a hard thing to admit - that I have no faith in the show ring, and little respect for it. However, time and again I have heard that no one will 'take me seriously' as a quality breeder if I give up (in disgust, might I add) on showing.

My dog was bred to be a companion - that's all. Unfortunately, our standard has created a dog that's riddled with health problems, which is hardly, in my opinion, something that the average person looks for in their companion.

So, I whine about it, and breed my own version of Frenchies, which still do a fair amount of winning. Given my druthers, I'd only compete in agility and obedience, but I don't quite have the guts to chuck it all in yet. I'm almost there, though...FrogDogzhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-43101685746882140932007-10-05T13:43:00.000-04:002007-10-05T13:43:00.000-04:00I came to read you due to the similarities between...I came to read you due to the similarities between your fight and the Border Collie fight. I'm a working BC person myself, although I'm down to one pet at the moment. My dogs come from working stock, and when I bred them, it was to other working stock, and the pups mostly all went out with Basque sheepherders and cowboys running cattle. None are registered, although the trials people have their own registries too. The stockmen I know just want a dog that will work, and if it doesn't, it's a quick shot to the head. Pulls that one right out of the gene pool. (The houndsmen I run with have similar policies, although they keep track of bloodlines more than I did.)firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-34198167632570343282007-10-04T19:54:00.000-04:002007-10-04T19:54:00.000-04:00Ordered!!

With so many ways to promote your business using mobile marketing, knowing some tried and true keys to success in the industry can help your campaign be successful the first time around.
Know the goal of the campaign.
Creating a successful loyalty marketing campaign starts with knowing the goal of the campaign. Do you want more unique customers? Do you want to reward repeat visitors? This is the most important thing – without knowing what you want out of a campaign before you begin, it's virtually impossible for that campaign to be successful.
Sometimes, even the most successful merchant will have great customers or regulars who suddenly stop coming in. This is particularly relevant in salons and the automotive industry, although it's a concept that can (and should) be applied to most loyalty brand marketing campaigns.
Utilize automated engagement messages.
Automated engagement messages are sent to consumers who have stopped checking in at the merchant's kiosk for a certain period of time. These customers are then specifically targeted by the system for a special offer the merchant sets up.
For example, think of a hair salon. Clients are recommended to come back every five to six weeks for a trim, and by the seventh or eighth week, if the client fails to come in, the system will automatically send them a specific, targeted offer – think "$5 off your next haircut" or "we miss u! come in and receive free shampoo w/ trim".
Use unique tiered rewards.
The key word here is unique. This reward system is based on the idea that at specific intervals of check-ins, a customer will get a different reward, leading up to better and better rewards each time. For instance, at the first check-in, a customer will receive a 10% off coupon, at 5 check-ins, they'll receive 25% off, and at 10 check-ins, receive a free item or service.
Know the success targets.
The redemption rate for these offers is what we look at to decide if the campaign was successful. Around 40 percent of automated engagement offers redeemed is considered very successful; that means of the number of inactive customers that received this message and would have otherwise stopped coming back to the salon for whatever reason, 40 percent came back and redeemed the offer. Those are customers that could potentially have been lost had the message not been sent.
Knowing what your particular success targets are can help you to update your plan as you go through your campaign and evaluate success during or at the end of the campaign.
Know what to avoid.
One of the most frequent issues merchants see in getting higher redemption rates is unrealistic expiration dates. Expiration dates on rewards are necessary; you don't particularly want someone to stack up offers indefinitely. However, if someone spends a year getting their reward, you don't want to give them a three-day window to redeem it.
Using these proven keys to success, you should be able to formulate a plan for loyalty marketing that is successful and will work for your business.

The number of bills introduced, debated and passed by the Parliament during a sitting week can vary greatly. The number of bills passed by both houses of Parliament and signed into law by the Governor-General over the life of a parliament also varies.
The House of Representatives has put together an interesting table of statistics about this topic, dating back to 1901. You can find the table by following this link and clicking on 'General statistics'. Using this table, you can see that the largest number of bills passed into law in one year is 264 (in 1992) and the smallest number of bills passed into law in one year is 12 (in 1907). The average number of laws made per year since 1901 is 108.
This table does not list how many bills have been presented to the Senate each year. You can find a record of all the bills passed by the Senate in each Parliament going back to the 31st Parliament (1978-80) here.
Lots of other statistical information about the Parliament can be found at Parliament Now, Senate StatsNet and House of Representatives Statistics.

Planning is crucial. It is crucial for organizations, communities, families, and individuals. I am an advocate of detailed planning of the kind that will model down to the dependencies of each step. I like knowing where my stress points are going to be and where I will go astray if a dependency doesn't materialize. I have planned all of my projects and I consider planning a key success factor. Nevertheless, I have never had a single project go entirely according to plan.
The fact that not a single plan completed without change is not to be confused with failure. Projects fail for a variety of reasons despite the best of plans. Neither should one associate plan revisions with poor initial planning. The point is that without a plan, the project is wandering without a roadmap. The plan provides structure to the endeavor as well as an understanding of the overall architecture of the process. Plans go awry almost universally because we cannot control or even anticipate all of the possibilities caused by human beings and random circumstance. We can merely assess probabilities and draw conclusions that are likely to guide us through most of the events.
The challenge, then, is learning to adapt as you go. Adaptation is a survival skill. I have written about this topic in the past (see Learn to Play the Doglegs), but will elaborate here on three key elements. These are recognition, detachment, and adaptation.
The best thing about having a plan is that it will tell you when you are driving into the weeds. Recognition that the project is off track is vital to success. Small deviations probably will not have a profound effect on a project, but when a major milestone is missed or a key stress point stalls – when the critical path turns red – it is time to re-examine the plan.
The plan, though, is not the only means of recognizing when a project is headed for trouble. Listening to people is just as important because one may be receiving indications that alignment is poor or that needs are not being met well before trouble shows up on the instrumentation. Some signs to look for are:
- Decisions continue to be re-visited
- Certain tangents recur from meeting to meeting
- Meetings are taking longer than they should
- Participants or stakeholders exhibit confusion
Leaders need to be passionate about their projects, but objective about their project plans. For me, I take a great deal of pride in my "brand spanking new" project plans where all the pieces come together just in time to meet a deadline. It is not unlike the feeling of solving a complex acrostic puzzle. Nevertheless, if I do not abandon my emotional attachment to it immediately I will be in trouble because the plan is already flawed. It cannot help but be. When the project begins to deviate – which it will – I need to be prepared to jettison some parts, add new ones, or reconfigure others. By the end of the project, the plan may resemble a tangle of worms more than my initial pristine creation, but we will have made it to the finish line together. The secret is in letting go of the details.
Reconfiguring a plan is where the rubber meets the road. This requires flexibility on the part of everyone involved, but most of all on leadership. Adaptation is a form of course correction and requires embracing change. Not everyone on the project may be affected, but some may be affected profoundly. The key inputs are:
- Objectives: keep the project objectives clearly in mind. What does success look like?
- Priorities: re-examine the priorities. Is this really needed? Is this really needed right now?
- Dependencies: interrogate the dependencies. Must all of these conditions be met in order to proceed? Can this be retrofitted later without detriment to integrity?
- Roles: challenge roles and responsibilities. Are roles still clear? Have they changed? Should they change?
In most cases, projects have the luxury of making these adaptations over a period of days, perhaps even weeks. This is certainly the case on large construction projects and IT projects that proceed using a so-called waterfall methodology. But what about smaller projects or projects utilizing the agile project approach? Indeed, these are more challenging because the adaptations need to be almost instantaneous.
In agile projects, adaptation is part of the intrinsic culture of the process. Objectives, priorities, dependencies and roles are in flux practically every day as part of the substance of the daily scrum meetings. Good scrum meetings resemble the stretch of the spandex leotard on a dancer, reconfiguring to every change in the shape of the underlying form.
Smaller projects that are not "agile" can have similar stretch. To be successful, that stretch comes from even greater detachment from the details of a plan coupled with a clear comprehension of objectives, priorities, dependencies, and roles. An example will illustrate.
I was working with a client some years ago to develop a roadmap for their company analytics. The effort culminated in a one-day retreat, the result of which would be a prioritized set of initiatives. To accomplish all of this in a day, we developed an execution plan scripting a series of exercises that would lead to the goal. At the retreat, the morning exercises stayed on track and the participants returned from lunch ready to tackle the rest of the work. Within an hour, it was clear that the plan was in trouble. There were hidden agendas that had not been exposed in earlier parts of the process. To put the process back on track, we had to abandon one exercise altogether and blend another into a later exercise, allowing more time to realign the participants. Because we had never shared the execution plan with them, they arrived safely at their goal without ever knowing of the course correction.
We could not have achieved that stretch without the structure of the underlying plan. Irrespective of the fact that it did not proceed perfectly, it was a good plan because the rationale for each component was clear and because we had thought about what each component should reasonably require in terms of time and resources to execute. Not all parts were interchangeable, but enough were to allow for adaptation when the need arose.
I have woven an analogy into this article that references a concept outside the topic at hand – in this case the dance leotard – as itself another layer of analogy. This meta-analogy operates at two levels. At the first, the dancer's stretch (the flexibility of the muscle) is analogous to the adaptability of the plan. At the second, the project reshapes like the spandex leotard as the underlying plan transforms. The analogy serves as a reminder that flexibility and the ability to adapt do not derive from just the plan of the day, no matter how good. Rather, they come from the larger picture that consists of all of the contents in our rucksack of life. The satisfaction is not in the perfect plan, but in the perfect stretch.
Does your organization have the knack for adaptation? What tactics to you employ to keep plans flexible?
