Today: Vegetarian chili for lazy people.

And busy people.  And people who are afraid to leave slow cookers on whilst they’re at work.  And people who would rather risk eating beans from a can than soak dried beans overnight.  And people who like tomatoes, a variety of beans, some onions, some garlic, and a kick of spice.  Because, really, that’s all it takes.

Lazy vegetarian chili

Yields 6-8 servings.  Sort of depends on how hungry you are.

  • One 16 oz. can of organic whole peeled tomatoes
  • Three cans or cartons of organic beans (I used dark red kidney beans, ranchero beans, and black beans)
  • Three cloves of garlic, finely chopped
  • One medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons organic olive oil
  • Salt, pepper, red pepper flakes

  1. Thoroughly rinse your beans.
  2. In a large stock pot, saute garlic and onions in olive oil over medium heat until onions are soft.
  3. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, and any other desired spices.  I like to add red pepper flakes for a little heat.
  4. Stir in beans and tomatoes, breaking up tomatoes with a large wooden spoon (This can also be done ahead of time, but why dirty up another bowl or pot?  Maybe you’re not so lazy after all?).
  5. Cover pot and reduce to a simmer.  Your lazy vegetarian chili is ready to enjoy as soon as your beans and tomatoes are heated through, but the longer it simmers, the more flavorful it becomes.  And the more spicy your condo smells.
  6. Serve piping hot with a bit of cilantro, red onions, or shredded cheese.

Sometimes laziness pays off.  Sometimes.

What’s On Tap for your weekend?

Today: A weekend at home.

Home Alone

My older brother and sister-in-law celebrated their wedding anniversary this week, which meant Nick and I got to babysit our niece for the first time.  We partied like animals, singing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star while changing into PJs at 6:45 PM and reading not one, but two books before bed.  She is just heaven to be around.

Home Improvement

Much of the rest of the weekend was spent working on wedding projects and trying to rectify the broken sink situation.  We made two trips to Home Depot and managed to sneak in a little fun between visits to the faucet aisle.  There is so much to see and touch (and break) in that store.  I was tempted to buy a pink ride-on pony from the Christmas section, but refrained.  Instead, we picked up some PVC pipe for mobility and Crossfit practice at home.  It will also come in handy when I want to turn off the light switch without getting up from the sofa.  Just kidding.  Mostly.

Home away from home

We spent this morning at Clark’s home away from home, the local children’s hospital where he does his therapy dog visits.  I can think of no better way to pass a rainy Sunday morning than watching the kids snuggle with the Frenchie, feed him treats, tug on his ears, and hold him in their laps.  It makes my heart swell.

Home cookin’

At the risk of tooting my own horn, I’m very excited to share that On Tap for Today was included in the North Atlantic edition of the Whole Foods Market 2012 Holiday Magazine’s “On the Web: Fresh Voices” feature, along with my pal Caitlin and the lovely We Are Not Martha girls.  I’m really grateful to the team at Whole Foods for including me, and was sure to pick up a few copies today after grabbing groceries at River Street.

On the menu tonight?  Enough vegetarian chili to feed an army.

What would Sunday night be without a do-it-myself manicure?

I live for rituals.  And weekends at home.

What’s your Sunday ritual?

Today: Give us this day our daily juice.

[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I bought a juicer a year ago, or so.  I used it a number of times, almost lost a finger once, got sick of cleaning up after myself, and then hid the whole thing away.  It lived under our sink with 9,000 reusable Whole Foods bags (I’m more likely to buy a few new ones that the store than endure the shame of requesting paper) and various other rarely used appliances until last week.  Nick and I have been going balls to the wall, proverbially speaking, with juicing as of late.  A man who will give you the choice of first shower or firing up the juicer?  I’ve got myself a keeper.  After a few weeks of struggling to get up and out the door on time, our new little juice ritual is working wonders.  Perhaps this #hulkjuice is turning me into the Incredible Elizabeth?

Drinking fresh vegetable and fruit juice in the morning is sort of like exercising at the start of the day.  It’s an insurance policy against all the naughty choices I might make later on, and great motivation to keep on the straight and narrow.  Whatever that means.  Even after just a single week of morning juice, I feel a difference.  I have more energy and fewer random cravings.  I don’t need to sneak Diet Coke.  I’ve made better choices at lunch and dinner (namely: more vegetables, in non-liquid form).  I haven’t given anyone the finger during my commute.  Did I mention my skin is glowing?  Oh.  Maybe that’s just the fluorescent overhead lighting.

It turns out the juicer is very easy to clean if you tend to it right away.  I am sure that was somewhere in the directions (why read them when you can promptly recycle them?).  It still takes up considerable counter space (the juicer isn’t getting any smaller, and our condo isn’t getting any larger), but we’re making do.  For people like me who have trouble following recipes, winging it is perfectly acceptable when juicing.  After making multiple trips to procure more kale, I finally just started grabbing whatever was in our refrigerator or on the counter.  A few combinations that have worked well:

  • 1 bunch of kale, 2 cups of spinach, 1 lemon, 1/2 cucumber, 3 stalks of celery, 1 inch of fresh ginger, 1 apple, 1 handful of parsley
  • 3 cups of spinach, 2 apples, 2 carrots, 1 lemon
  • 2 cups of spinach, 3 stalks of celery, 1 lemon, 1 apple, 1 orange, 1 medium cucumber, 1 cup of raspberries

Each batch perfectly fills two tall glasses.  Next adventure: make use of all that pulp.  And make fewer trips to the market.

What does your morning routine look like?

Today: Grown up snack packs.

[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I couldn’t help but think of Billy Madison on Sunday night, while whipping up lunches for the week.

Billy Madison: Where’s my snack paaaack?
Juanita: You got a banana, you don’t need no snack pack.

I don’t care what Juanita says.  I need both a banana and a snack pack to get me through the day.  I like variety.  And you know what they say: Good things come in small (plastic, likely hazardous) packages.

I’ve been following my RD’s recommendations to ensure I get enough protein.  Knowing now that lactose isn’t an issue, I’ve been back on the sauce low fat cottage cheese lately.  Though it looks rather terrifying in the photo above, cottage cheese can be a great source of protein for vegetarians.  I like to add a little ground pepper to spice it up a bit.  In addition to a bigger green salad, I packed up a few miniature caprese salads featuring teeny, tiny bocconcini, heirloom cherry tomatoes, and a heaping amount of fresh basil.  Also in my snack pack to start the week: fresh raspberries and carrots with hummus.

Check out my snack pack stack.  Or whatever.  Kids shouldn’t be the only ones to have fun at lunch time.

What was your favorite food growing up?

Today: The non-dairy queen.

[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Weather like this has me craving a Blizzard.  The ice cream treat, not the weather event.  There is only so much Lactaid a girl can take, though.  Fortunately, there are all kinds of frozen non-dairy “ice cream” available these days.

All it takes is three simple ingredients (four if you include the punchy straw): almond milk, mint chip non-dairy frozen dessert (also made with almond milk) and ice.

What’s your favorite summer treat?

Today: Freedom Trail mix muffins.

[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I was strolling down Main Street in Charlestown when inspiration for the HLS Breakfast Showdown struck.  With the Freedom Trail at my feet, and a kitchen stocked with Wild Harvest goodies, I knew what I wanted to whip up.

Wild Harvest, Gold Sponsor of the 2012 Healthy Living Summit, sent this year’s participants ten of their favorite products, with the challenge to create a fun and healthy breakfast using three or more Wild Harvest ingredients.

Freedom Trail Mix Muffins

Dry ingredients:

  • 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup turbinado sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups trail mix (I used WILD HARVEST organic animal crackers, WILD HARVEST organic raisins, dried Cape Cod cranberries, peanuts, and miniature dark chocolate chips)

Wet ingredients:

  • 2 WILD HARVEST organic eggs
  • 1 cup WILD HARVEST organic apple sauce

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and prep your muffin tins.  This recipe yields twelve regular sized muffins and 24 miniature muffins.
  2. Setting your trail mix aside, combine other dry ingredients and slowly incorporate wet ingredients.  Mix well.
  3. Add in trail mix and stir.  And try not to eat the batter.
  4. Fill each tin 2/3 full and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Why buy a pre-made trail mix when you can get creative and use what’s already in the pantry?  Dried fruit, nuts, and dark chocolate are sure bets.  I used Wild Harvest’s animal crackers as the base, and felt a bit badly breaking the head off an elephant and the butt off a bison.  Oh and yes, vegetarians do eat animal crackers.  Using apple sauce instead of butter or oil is a great way to keep your baked goods moist and light.  From a little idea on Main Street, these humble muffins hit the spot.

This little breakfast treats are perfect for a morning meal on the go, or for enjoying while sightseeing or strolling.  If you’re visiting Boston this summer, the Freedom Trail is not to be missed.  The 2.5 mile route covers sixteen historical sites and tells the story of the American Revolution.  Pack a snack.  Nerds like us shouldn’t have to choose between monuments and monumentally good muffins.

What’s On Tap for your weekend?

Today: Like the hippies do.

[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I am not especially pleasant when I am hungry.  It’s been a challenge to fill up while on an elimination diet, especially when some of my favorite sources of protein and fiber are off limits.

While whey protein isolate is on the okay, if you must list, the artificial sweeteners and other chemical brothers found in my protein powder of choice are very much on the don’t even think about it list.  My RD recommended hemp or rice protein, but I had no clue where to start.  Thanks to the magic of Twitter, I found myself on Hippie Butter‘s website.  And placed an order.  On 4/20.  (Sheer coincidence.)

After starting the morning like hippies do, I am feeling satisfied, energized, and not the least bit cranky.  Those happy people are on to something.

Vanilla, hemp and cinnamon protein shake

  • 4 tbsp hemp seed protein powder
  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1 tbsp organic cinnamon

(Extremely obvious and likely unnecessary) Directions:

  1. In a large glass or shaker cup, combine hemp protein and almond milk.
  2. Stir until liquid and powder are incorporated.
  3. Add cinnamon, and stir.
  4. Shake can also be served over ice, and makes a great post-workout drink.

While the hemp seed protein powder is dense, it is not at all chalky.  I imagine it would mix well with frozen berries, citrus, and any number of smoothie or shake add-ins, as the powder itself has a very mild taste.  I much prefer it to other flavored powders.

I am looking forward to continuing to experiment with my happy little hemp seeds (I bet Bob Ross would have loved this stuff).  Hippy Butter has a number of other interesting products, too, including hemp coffee and skin care.  Like everything else that is good in this world (namely sparkling wine and stinky cheese), hemp powder should be kept refrigerated.

[Yoga Journal, June 2012]

With a few minutes to spare before the morning craze set in, I continued to embrace my inner hippy with a quick meditation.  One of my favorite aspects of yoga is the emphasis on setting your intention for your practice, or your day.  There’s nothing like a healthy dose of perspective, gratitude, and hope to keep you on track.

Now, if only my peace moccasins matched today’s outfit.

What Can I Do If I Am Wrongly Convicted, Or My Sentence Is Unfair?

After conviction and sentencing, a defendant has the opportunity to file an appeal of his sentence. If the conviction results from a guilty plea, the defendant may have to ask for "leave" or permission to appeal the conviction. If the conviction results from a trial, the defendant has an absolute right to appeal. An appeal is not a retrial of the case, but is an examination of the trial record to ensure that proceedings were conducted in a fair manner. What Happens When I Appeal? The parties to an appeal submit written "briefs" to the appellate court, along with a copy of the trial court transcript and any exhibits that were used at trial. Oral arguments may be scheduled. Arguments are typically very short in duration, and tend to be academic in nature, focusing on legal issues. Appellate review of a conviction is a bit like watching a videotape of a football game, to look for errors by the referees. If the referees make a lot of errors in a close game, you may get the feeling that their mistakes changed the result of the game. However, even if they made a lot of errors, the score can be so lopsided that you conclude that the errors did not affect the outcome. The judges on appeal are looking for errors which may have changed the verdict, and will disregard "harmless errors," which they believe did not have an effect. They judges will also disregard what they deem to be mistakes of "trial strategy" - a concept that is akin to when the coach chooses a play that doesn't work out the way he intended. What types of "errors" occur at trial, and what do they mean for my appeal? Among the types of error you may hear described are the following:
  • Fundamental Error - An error which goes to the heart of the case, and which can be considered by the court "in the interest of justice," even if the appellant fails to properly raise the issue on appeal.
  • Harmful Error - An error which the appellate court concludes had a probable impact on the outcome of the trial.
  • Harmless Error - An error which the appellate court concludes had no effect on the outcome of a trial. For example, if a defendant confesses to a murder, and the prosecution has his fingerprints on the murder weapon, the use of inadmissible "hearsay" testimony is likely to be found "harmless," due to the "overwhelming evidence" against the defendant.
  • Invited Error - Where the appellant asks the trial court to make a ruling which is actually erroneous, that party cannot later appeal the trial court's decision on the basis of that error.
  • Reversible Error - An error which causes the appellate court to overturn the lower court's decision is a "reversible error."
What do they mean by "procedural due process" and "substantive due process"? On appeal, you may hear the alleged violation of a defendant's rights described as a violation of his "procedural due process" rights or his "substantive due process" rights.
  • Procedural Due Process - Procedural due process involves the safeguard's to a person's liberty and property, set forth in the Constitution, such as the right to an attorney, the right to appointed counsel if you are indigent, the right to compel witnesses to appear at trial, the right to confront prosecution witnesses at trial, and the right to obtain a transcript of trial proceedings.
  • Substantive Due Process - Substantive due process involves the broad notion that a person shall not be arbitrarily deprived of his life, liberty or property. If a person is deprived of the opportunity to appeal a court decision, or is convicted when the prosecutor fails to produce "exculpatory evidence" which tends to prove his innocence, his substantive due process rights have been violated.
What Happens If I Lose My Appeal? The first level of appeal, in most states, is to an intermediate-level appellate court. From there, it is possible to appeal to the State Supreme Court. Afterward, it is possible to pursue relief through the federal courts. (If you are convicted following a trial in federal court, your first appeal will be to the federal Court of Appeals, and your case will never be heard before a state court.) In most cases, after the initial appeal, you must request permission before you can file your appeal with a new court. An appeal to a federal court from a state court conviction must be premised upon "federal issues" - usually, violations of federal constitutional law. Your attorney on appeal must be sure to raise these issues with the state appellate courts, in order to "preserve" the issues for the federal appeal. What Happens If I Win My Appeal? If you win your appeal, the prosecutor will have the option of appealing to a higher court. Quite often, after a defendant wins an appeal, the prosecutor will offer a defendant the opportunity to plead guilty to an offense, with a sentence of "time served." This can be a good deal for a defendant, who may not want to risk being again convicted if the case is retried, and whose immediate priority may well be getting out of prison. However, sometimes the defendant will insist that he is innocent, and will demand a new trial. Other times, the prosecutor will refuse to plea bargain, insisting that the defendant belongs in prison. Are There Situations Where The Prosecutor Will Simply Drop The Charges, After An Appeal? Yes. If an appellate court rules that certain evidence, or a confession, should not have been admitted at trial, and it appears that the defendant cannot be convicted without the use of that evidence, sometimes the prosecutor will decide to dismiss the charges. It is rare that a prosecutor will decide that a defendant is, in fact, innocent -- but if that does happen, a prosecutor will refuse to retry the case. Can I Appeal From a Probation Violation or a Parole Violation? Yes. Depending upon your state, you may have to pursue an "administrative appeal" of a parole violation, before seeking an appeal to a trial or appellate court. An administrative appeal is heard by an officer of the legislative branch of government, called an "administrative law judge."

Business orientated resource diversification in smaller social service nonprofits : why some are adopting and others are not

One of the current key challenges for nonprofit social service organisations is how to diversify resource mobilisation practices in order to build sustainable organisations that can innovatively achieve social mission. Two approaches to resource mobilisation that are promoted within Australia are social enterprise and partnering with business. Both of these approaches involve a re-orientation toward business, either in management practices or through an enduring relationship. Despite an increased interest in business-focused resource mobilisation strategies there are few successful examples of social enterprise and partnering with business emerging across the nonprofit sector. There is also scant empirically based research to understand what it takes to adopt these practices, what the consequences of adoption might be and how governments, nonprofits and business stakeholders might support their emergence. This research aims to build an evidence base to provide greater understanding of these issues. The thesis analyses data from fourteen organisational case studies of nonprofit social service organisations located across Australia. Seven of these organisations were selected because they had adopted an enterprising form of resource mobilisation and had been recognised for their achievements in this area. The other seven organisations matched these adopters in terms of mission, location, size and stage of organisational development, though had less diversified resource streams and had not attempted or successfully managed to develop a social enterprise or business partnership. Case-orientated research and qualitative comparative analysis was used in order to achieve causal complexity and a 'configurational' view of the cases (Ragin 1999). The thesis details the conditions that are both necessary and sufficient for business-focused resource mobilisation .processes to be adopted. Organisational capacity and self-efficacy are critical conditions that open up resource innovation possibilities; there is a range of other sufficient conditions that work in combination with these. There are value and ideological challenges to be negotiated by nonprofit social service organisations as they are called upon, both internally and from without, to reinvent the means with which they achieving organisational sustainability. This tension creates the need for new thinking atthe level of policy and practice - across all sectors - in order that these critical organisations that bear responsibility for the social good can successful organise within the contemporary context.

Apserkahar (Chief Joe)

In the 1850s, Apserkahar, also known as Chief Joe, led one of the two principal bands of Native Americans living in the western Rogue River Valley. His brother Toquahear led the other band. Apserkahar means Horse Rider and is variously spelled Apserkahah, Apsakahah, and joapserkahar. Most sources refer to his people as Takelmas, although some state that they were Shastas and even Athapaskans

Historic tribal identities can be tricky, and early written documents are often vague or inaccurate. Many scholars, however, believe that Apserkahar’s band lived at the heart of the Takelma-speaking homeland. The historical record demonstrates that he had close ties to the Shastas (Hokan speakers) in southwest Oregon’s Bear Creek Valley and neighboring California. Native peoples in the region did not figure their primary identity using linguistically defined nations or tribes until formal relations with the United States made it necessary.

Factors such as decentralized polities, common intermarriages among bands and across language groups, and seasonal movements made indigenous identity more fluid than a fixed “nation” or “tribe” suggests. Strictly defined nations developed partly through treaty signings between 1851 and 1856, when EuroAmericans sought to clear property titles by getting representative signatures from Native peoples in the Rogue River Valley. Subsequently, tribes had to use these fixed treaty designations to pursue legal claims against the U.S., and tribal boundaries became matters for the courts.

Apserkahar signed treaties in 1853 and 1854 and likely in 1851. It is not a surprise that both Takelma and Shasta peoples have claimed Apserkahar as an ancestor; indigenous identities did not mirror those fixed by treaty, and colonization reduced complex resource-use privileges to an imposed system of individual property rights.

As a headman, Apserkahar held an elevated social status, which he maintained by making sound decisions in the face of imported diseases, raids by miners and other Native people, and taxed resources, as newcomers pressured and altered the local ecology. Apserkahar’s wife, known as Sally to Americans, assisted him, and her views carried considerable weight. The influence of Apserkahar and Toquahear stretched into northern California among Shastas.

Colonial incursions shaped the broad outlines of Apserkahar’s life. By the 1810s, the effects of the Columbia River fur trade and Spanish colonization in California were evident in the Rogue River Valley. As a child, Apserkahar would have witnessed the indirect influence of newcomers through fur-trade goods. In addition, Native people from the Columbia River and Klamath Basin raided Takelmas and Shastas for slaves, using horses and guns acquired from newcomers.

By 1851, when the California Gold Rush spilled into his homeland, Apserkahar knew to take a cautious and conciliatory approach to Americans, who referred to his people and their neighbors as “Rogues” and exaggerated the occurrence of occasional interracial violence. In 1850, former Territorial Governor Joseph Lane had accused Apserkahar’s band of robbing a party of miners. Lane’s group captured Apserkahar and compelled an uneasy arrangement from him, which allowed for the peaceful passage of future emigrants and miners in exchange for periodic gifts. Apserkahar found the guilty man, killed him to prevent further bloodshed, and recovered as much of the stolen goods as he could. Lane claimed that Apserkahar requested an American name and was pleased with sharing the name Joe.

Following a brief conflict in 1853, Lane captured Apserkahar’s children, Mary and Ben, to compel Apserkahar to sign the Table Rock Treaty. In 1854, as Apserkahar lay dying of tuberculosis, he ceded more territory to the United States in an attempt to protect his people and homeland. Nevertheless, the Rogues faced another war with the U.S. Army in 1855, which resulted in the forced removal of most of the Native survivors in February-March 1856 to the Grand Ronde and Coast (later Siletz) Reservations.

Before doubts about Capita’s renunciation of outsourcing were aired here, on May 10th the Post reported that Birmingham City Council’s £1 billion contract with Capita-Service Birmingham is to be closely scrutinised after senior Labour councillors voiced doubts about whether good services and value for money are being delivered. An independent assessment is to be made of this contract – which runs until 2020 – and of Service Birmingham’s performance.

More information from hoarded files

In March the the city’s accounts were resubmitted at a cost of £300,000 and in an article detailing serious accountancy errors, Cllr Barry Henley was quoted in the Post as saying: “I believe that the council is concealing revenue spending as capital as a way of hiding the disastrous costs of Service Birmingham and our involvement with Capita.”

After Capita Consulting formed the joint venture ‘Service Birmingham’  with Birmingham City Council in 2006, it caused a backlog two years later in the payment of nearly 30,000 invoices at Birmingham City Council.

But the joint venture continues despite the consultancy’s record – its less than perfect performance and policies.

Capita projects have had problems all over the country – not only in this city – but most prospective employers seem undismayed:

  • The group lost its contract to administer housing benefits in Lambeth
  • Schools were forced to close because of delays to a database run by Capita to vet teachers. The government’s Department for Education and Skills scrapped the individual learning accounts scheme run by Capita, following allegations of fraud.
  • Its £400m project for the Criminal Records Bureau suffered early setbacks, with the company failing to meet specific targets.
  • Its founder Rod Aldridge was forced to quit Capita amid allegations his relationship with government was too close, after he lent £1m to the Labour party ahead of the general election.
  • It experienced problems as primary vendor for Transport for London’s congestion-charging scheme, with systems initially misreading as many as four vehicle registration plates in ten. It lost its contract in 2007.

We can only hope for the best and check our smoke alarms on reading the news that the London fire brigade is to outsource its control centre to Capita . . . the FT reports that the London deal is expected to be followed by other brigades nationwide.

Part 1: Contentment day course, Sydney

This Sunday was my centre’s day course on Contentment. The following are some notes I took – I hope the words inspire you to change to a happier you!

This course resonated with me profoundly especially since I am reading the 2nd book called Affluenza (When too much is never enough) by Clive Hamilton and Richard Denniss. From this book I learnt a new word:  ” downshifter” someone who voluntarily reduces their income.

A few of my favourite lines from the book:

  • “in the coming decade most of our income growth will be spent on consumer products the craving for which has yet to be created by advertisers
  • “the 1960s and 1970s saw a flood of literature predicting a future in which technological progress would allow us to work only a few hours a week and our main problem would be how best to enjoy our leisure… a society able to devote itself to activities that are truly fulfilling”
  • “instead of our growing wealth freeing us of our materialist preoccupations, it seems to have had the opposite effect”
  • “people in affluent countries are now even more obsessed with money and material acquisition, and the richer they are the more this seems to be the case”
  • “no matter how much money people have they feel they need more”
  • “striving to become richer even at the expense of their own happiness and that of their families”
  • “most people cling to the belief that more money means more happiness”
  • “raising the threshold of desire creates an endless cycle of self deception”
  • “hedonic treadmill”
  • “the only way to win is to stop playing the game”
  • “Australia is in a collective psychological disorder – we indulge in the illusion that we are deprived”
  • “we complete ourselves symbolically by acquiring things that compensate for our perceived shortcomings… marketers understand much better than we do how we want to create an ideal self”
  • “increasing levels of materialism that characterises affluent societies has been shown to be associated with declining well-being and a rise in pathological behaviours”
  • the famous anon quote “in rich countries today, consumption consists of people spending money they don’t have to buy goods they don’t need to impress people they don’t like”
  • “Big houses serve to keep family members apart because there is less need to be together”
The teachings:
We all long for happiness and to be free from suffering. But we make the mistake of believing happiness is outside ourself; this belief causes us to create so much suffering.
Our mind has been mis-programmed! We crave for things and objects of desire. We need to rectify this mistake. Even if we can decrease this attachment just a little we will experience some freedom and liberation. Try to decrease attachment a little, which is more realistic than complete renunciation!
Our craving mind is a source of discontent. We must develop a determination to decrease that mind! It will be enough at first to decrease the excess attachment. Craving minds finally will not arise. We have a mind of desirous attachment.
We need a multi-pronged attack on our delusions. With 2 motivations:
  1. aversion to experience suffering and
  2. to pursue happiness.
Contemplating these ways, how to overcome our mind of discontent we experience results that make a difference in our minds.
The basic human wish is to be happy and free from suffering – it is an innate wish. The question is not if we want to be happy the question is where does happiness come from?  We are not experiencing the happiness we long for, we work so hard to achieve it! We turn to various objects: relationships, our career, people, friends, family, material possessions, homes etc
The satisfaction is what we desire but it seems like whatever our circumstances are, it eludes us …. sometimes short lived pleasure arises eg a new relationship but it wears off .. we don’t experience the same satisfaction we thought we would. We have a restless discontented mind that jumps from 1 situation to another hoping to find satisfaction but eventually we want something better. We get the desired object but we don’t get the satisfaction we thought we would. This is the tragedy of the discontented mind. We are human beings with limitation but we have spiritual potential which is capable of freeing the mind from limitation. We need to train the mind to be free from obstructions and faults until one awakens. Practice Buddha’s teachings to improve your life even if you do not want to be enlightened. When we start a relationship we are happy and excited and after a while we get bored; we say we chose the wrong person! I chose wrong house .. I should have waited for a better one, with better view !
We believe problem lies outside ourselves, that we we are innocent victims that we are surrounded with wrong objects. We look at our clothes in wardrobe and can’t find anything nice to wear … I need to buy more clothes.
Wrong mind – relationship between subject (mind) and object (world) is of a dreamlike nature; emptiness.
What the situation is for us depends on our mind, if it is a restless mind it is coloured by our mind, objects we perceive by this mind appear imperfect, not right, because nature of mind craving … we don’t have capacity, a mental muscle we never used. We need an intensive mental boot-camp on contentment. Wake up to the truth! we have a restless mind and this can be proved. Look at your own mind, situations in your past, objects you acquired, life changes, pursuit of happiness. But why don’t we experience contentment : I have enough, I have what I need, I can relax, I am at peace, settled. We won’t reach that point with the mind we have now, even if we are close to conditions we deem ‘perfect’ because of our discontented mind. Mind doesn’t let us recognise this. You can transform your life, give yourself ability to enjoy life instead of “this is not enough”. We always want something … we say “when I pay off debts I will be happy” … we manage to pay off and more may arise! We are anxious and dissatisfied. To do lists …. if we fulfill wishes we buy home etc then it is not long before we want something more. Temporary cessation of previous sufferings.
The late Sir James Goldsmith, on marrying his mistress, Lady Annabel Birley, declared, “When you marry your mistress, you create a job vacancy.”
You fulfil 1 desire you automatically have more unless you oppose the desirous mind. We know this from our life; we change goalposts for ourselves. We say when we make $1 million we will be happy … that is the nature of the mind. Basic contradiction in seeking happiness: we create causes of suffering.
We experience a life of desire and with it experience associated problems – attachment, anger…..
We develop negative minds when anything arises between us and our desire; we hurt other people in the process. the strong desire to fulfil our wishes causes us to experience anger towards anything that arises to stop us. We manifest  anger and aversion towards what stands between us and our wish. We end up feeling bad, regret, fracture in relationships. This arises due to strong attachment to the result – negative karma. WE WILL ALWAYS WANT
Buddha said we are “desire realm beings; beings of the unforgettable world” : we have inability to forget object of desire even for a moment.
Dust is covering our eyes – we can’t see the truth: humans always want. It is not a problem to desire happiness, it is wanting it from outside ourselves that is the problem. My human condition is to WANT.
Geshe-La, on seeing some cows in a field during an ordination ceremony at Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre, Ulverston, UK, said
 “see those cows? they have more contentment than you!”.
We want so many things! Unlike cows who want and need shelter, food and to reproduce. We want gadgets,  jewellery, fancy cars, reputations, status etc we have ENDLESS DESIRES: it is exhausting. Animals are more content. We have to learn to SEE this mind. We are like a thirsty man in the desert.
Atisha said “Friends, there is no satisfaction in the things you desire. It is like drinking sea water to satisfy thirst. Therefore be content.”
Practice contentment. Drinking sea water makes you thirstier. we search for the satisfaction  to fill the gap we feel inside us but we turn to the wrong things! We think: he/she will complete me! But they can’t! The gap is in our mind of discontent. We need to identify mind of discontent to stop searching for things outside ourselves. Whatever we have externally doesn’t matter. It is important to remember and share with others.
We know of examples of famous, wealthy people committing suicide. They think: “I’m not capable of being happy”. Because they have everything money can buy and still do not feel happy they despair.
Living with a mind of discontent is having a life characterised by a state of waiting. The mind of dissatisfaction and discontent: life hasn’t started! We desire something and if we get what we want, then we find something else to want. DESIRE BREEDS DESIRE.
Obtaining our wishes never leads to end of desire. In getting 1 thing we create conditions for more desire e.g. we get a bigger home and we have more rooms to fill and decorate ….Nature of desire: like gremlins, they multiply. Life becomes hard, overwhelming. The more we have the more we want.
When you are content with what you have and you know this is enough,, then you can focus on what is REALLY IMPORTANT … it doesn’t matter if you are single, unemployed etc as this cannot complete me. So we have a healthy focus – turn within: meditation.
Novelty wears off eg a new girlfirend ,after a while you realise you cannot chase other girls now, you have to be faithful…Doesn’t matter what we have, what we get.
We can enjoy life no matter what situation we are in; instead of desperately searching for happiness. Life becomes balanced and healthy and we have a healthy relationship to external objects as we know they don’t make a difference. As contentment is in my own mind. We get the external  object but don’t derive feeling of satisfaction FROM IT. We are after feeling of satisfaction. With our mistaken view we think this object is equivalent to satisfaction but it weans off. We are left with desire. Satisfaction is an INNER EXPERIENCE. An external object cannot give rise to feeling of satisfaction. Cause and effect. Pure and positive feelings from the mind are not external. Concentrate on love and patience. Internal not external : don’t fool yourself. Fundamental mistake. External objects can’t make a difference to your internal feeling. Western civilisation was founded on this! Rise above these impurities/mistakes of society.
Practice contentment to be rich!
Recognise within your life that all unpleasant things arise from the mind of discontent.  We are always convinced the grass is greener. Things WILL go wrong!
Make changes in your life with wisdom and realistic expectations. LEARN from situations – E.g. you buy something you do not really need or afford and then you get a massive credit-card bill – say “look what mind of discontent has brought me to!” Bad habits, addictions, war : instead of enjoying life.

The Trip from Tulkarm to Ramallah: 3 road blocks, 5 check-points, 7 cars

How long does it take to travel from the north-east of the West Bank, to the centre? In such a small area of land, you might think not long. A Palestinian ISM co-ordinator gives an account of the realities of trying to get out of the prison that the Israeli military is turning the north into.

by Abdel-Karim Dalbah

An average journey

  • Drive distance: 90 km
  • Drive time: 90 min max – directly in one car.
  • Cost: 15 shekels by bus or 20 to 25 shekels by car (service)

On the 23rd of April 2006 and for more than five months

  • Drive distance: more than 300 km
  • Drive time + walking + waiting at checkpoints: 5 hrs, 30 min
  • Cost: 65 Shekels

Because of the Israeli policies of closure and checkpoints and the fact that I am a Palestinian from Tulkarm (in the north of the West Bank).

I left my home at 8:30 am and walked to the bus station. There were no buses, and no direct cars so I had to take the sevice to Innap checkpoint (15 km east). Before we reached it, we were stopped by a flying checkpoint after 5 km. We waited about 15 min in a long line of cars before our driver decided to go back and take another road, going around the checkpoint. This added another 15 min as we had to go 200m east around the check point and continue to Innap (the main checkpoint). We reached Innap and waited there about 15 min when the soldier came and told our driver that it was forbidden for anyone to pass today. So the he had to use another road to drive around . We reached a road-block just 1 km east of the checkpoint. The cost had increased from 5 to 10 shekels by then.

The end of the first part.

When we reached the road-block we had to walk about 200 m to cross it. We started waiting for a car to take us to Ramallah. When one arrived the driver was asking for 50 shekels each which is too much – it’s normally 20 or 30 maximum. After 10 minutes, I took a taxi with four others to a village called Funkuk, halfway to Ramallah. This cost 10 shekels each. From there, a taxi driver offered to take us to Borgeen road block for another 10 shekels. We agreed to this but after driving for about 20 minutes we were stopped by another flying checkpoint near Haris. The soldiers prevented us from passing, so the driver took us back to Funduk. He offered another choice – to try another long road through different villages. Along the way we had to get out of the car several times because the parallel road we were taking to avoid the road-blocks was so rough. After driving more than an hour we reached the Borgeen road block – it cost 20 shekels to get there.

The end of the second step.

After we passed the road blocks, we felt like we were about to reach Ramallah, taking one last service. However, the drivers said not it would not be that simple. The soldiers at Attara checkpoint near Bir Zeit were apparently not allowing people from the north of the West Bank to get into Ramallah.

However, at the road-block before Attara, we would be able to pass and then get another car to Ramallah. What should we do? We agreed to this plan and drove (10 shekels each) to Attara checkpoint which we reached after 45 minutes, passing through some villages that I’ve never been though before. Instead of a car waiting on the other side of the road block there was a Border Police jeep which stopped anyone from being near by. We stayed there about 30 minutes, trying to pass though the main checkpoint, at first with a taxi and then by trying to speak to the commander. We tried to point out to him that we were all over forty years of age. After a long time he said “sorry. You can go and try to get in through Qalandya”. When we asked about going that way we discovered that it would cost 20 shekels more.

The end of the third part.

Eventually, we decided not to go that way but also not to go back since by this point we were less than 4 km from Ber Zeit [which is just north of Ramallah]. Instead, we decided to get past by walking. This meant we had to go over the mountain – but we would have to pass away from the checkpoint so that the soldiers at the military tower couldn’t see us. So after we had walked about 3 km, we finally reached Ber Zeit town, from which we caught a car for only 4 shekels each.

We finally reached Ramallah at 2:30 pm, tired and hungry, but happy.

The end of the fourth step.

The ministry of education was closed, where I needed to go to sign a paper for my sister. I missed it for today. I also missed the training of new ISMers, so I decided to go to my nephew’s house to have a rest for a while, but because I was so tired I slept for about 2 hours.

The day is over.

I spent the next day doing some work till 6.00pm before I went back to the car station to leave for Tulkarm. After 15 minutes the car filled up and we drove directly to Tulkarm. On the way we passed through the roads that were forbidden for us to pass on the way to Ramallah. Not one check-point stopped us! One of the men in the car said “it is very easy to get into the prison”.

This situation has lasted for over five moths for Tulkarm and Jenin residents – it is a collective punishment. The Israeli government claims this is for security reasons.

Back to the Future: Teaching Law Through Stories

25 Pages Posted: 17 May 2003

Paul L. Caron

Pepperdine University - School of Law

This Essay explains the pedagogical theory behind the new Law Stories series of books to be published by Foundation Press. The Law Stories series is intended to enrich the use of the case method of instruction in the law school classroom. By focusing on fewer cases and pausing for an in-depth review of the seminal cases in the field, the professor can empower students to construct their own schematic understanding of the area of law. Cognitive science teaches that such active learning produces more lasting value to students who are better equipped to process new information and solve new problems within the context of their self-constructed schemata. Professors thus should resist the temptation to do this work for students, conveying our schemata in a top-down fashion, with students playing merely a passive role in receiving this oracular wisdom. As a result, Professors should not sacrifice depth of coverage at the alter of scope of coverage; rather than rush through the signature cases in our subject in order to get to the latest hot topic or fashionable theory, professors should savor the opportunity to unpack with our students what it is that makes these cases central to a deep understanding of the field. The Law Stories series provides the raw material to enhance the study of the foundation cases in different subjects. As the initial book in the series, Tax Stories provides an in-depth examination into ten pivotal United States Supreme Court cases in the development of the federal income tax that provide fresh insights both into particular doctrinal areas of tax law as well as issues of wider application across the tax law.

Classic Play Kitchen

The play kitchen has become a favorite toy for Eloise. She is constantly opening doors, pulling play food out, and using utensils in the pots and pans.

It is great that it comes with the ice maker that drops plastic ice cubes down into the cup (ice cubes and cups included). The kitchen does come with two pots, a strainer, and two utensils but you will want more to use with any play food that you buy.

The base of the kitchen is wooden while the sink handles, burners, and stove knobs are plastic so it is very sturdy overall. It looks great and is very detailed for a play kitchen. As it is wooden, it does have many hinges and screws holding it together.

I had help, but with 100+ screws, it took about 4 hours. So if you are buying it as a gift and are going to put it together beforehand, give yourself time to do so. We got it at Sam’s Club, so check it out before they are gone!

A Tractor for Baby George

I was asked to create a matching onesie and bib for baby George whose Daddy works for the Royal Jersey Potato Company (well if those potatoes are tasty enough for the Queen then they can certainly go on one of my baby onesies!).

Nikki asked me to create a design that had a tractor in it and some reference to Jersey Royals if possible. Here is what I came up with and I have to say it is one of my favourite custom designs so far, I am really pleased with how it turned out!

PCS Child Care Options

Posted on .

There are several factors to consider when arranging child care. Quality child care is an important part of the support network for children of military families. When considering child care options, you should first consider your own child's unique needs. Children with special needs require special care and accommodations that must be considered when making child care decisions. Some children do better if they are in smaller groups and quieter settings while other children come alive in more active settings. It is important to make sure your child will be comfortable in the child care setting.
It is also important to consider location and hours. Do you want a child care location close to school or closer to where you work? Work hour are also an essential factor to consider. Most installation and community child care facilities offer Monday through Friday care with late fees if you need your child to be cared for beyond standard operating hours. There are some family child care centers that offer more flexible car hours.
Luckily, there are many child care options available to military families including child development centers, school-age care, family child care and installation referral services. The DoD has several programs to help with the unique challenges military families might face when seeking child care arrangements. There are usually one or more child care development centers located on your installation. Child development centers offer care for children aged six weeks through five years. The programs usually offer care during standard weekday hours, and some centers also offer part-time care arrangements. The fees for child developments centers are based on total family income calculation. Child development centers often have waiting lists, so be sure to find information about child care centers on your installation as soon as possible so you can make arrangements.
There are also often family child care centers available on most installations. This can be a good option for children who thrive in small group environments. Family child care centers are often located in the homes of child care providers. This is also a good option for those needing flexible child care arrangements, including extended or weekend hours. To get more information on family child care options on your installation, contact your installations child care center. In order to be certified by the DoD, each family care center must meet specific requirements, so you can feel at ease trusting the care of your child at a family child care center.
There are also school-age care programs available for children in kindergarten through 12 years. The school-age care program offers before-school care, after-school care, summer care and holiday care programs. If you find yourself in a position where it is difficult to find childcare, your installation may have an established Resource and Referral office that can help you find child care options available to you. If your installation

Information Security, IT & TECHNOLOGY

Insecure of Things

Internet of Things

During this exciting time of technological advancements, when there is an app for every facet of our lives, from letting you know the right time to take a bathroom break during a movie to how to build a space shuttle, why am I continually disappointed?  We have become a generation addicted to our apps and having the latest and greatest technologies, but that comes with a steep price. We have to continually ask ourselves with every purchase and click, what is my data and privacy worth if and when it is leaked, breached or stolen?

George Santayana wrote: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”  (The Life of Reason, 1905)

With all the massive security breaches that happen daily around the globe, why are we not learning from them and from each other? Why are we not taking the necessary precautionary steps as consumers and manufacturers? Maybe a better term for “Internet of Things” should be “Anyone Can Control my Things?”

Just because it is convenient to connect all your devices doesn’t mean you should.  The price for convenience can cost our privacy, our reputation, our livelihood, and even our lives. To the average user, a connected smart thermostat is just a thermostat. We would never imagine that it could be a fully equipped, connected and functioning computer that is able to influence the physical world. Through these in-home devices, an entry point is established to enter your home, access all of your connected devices, and ultimately your entire digital DNA. Over 70% of these devices are vulnerable to cyber-attacks, due to loopholes and backdoors that were left in the hardware and software and being exploited daily by anyone.

We, the consumers, need to band together to push these security threats back onto the responsibility of the companies that create them.  The best way to do that is by voting with our feet, our wallets and through legislation. We need to demand that companies build in security.  Not just in the beginning with the initial discovery phase when they are researching new products and services, but also carry it out all through the software/hardware development life cycle (SDLC) to include support and maintenance.

What can I do as a consumer?

  1. Research before you buy, and vote with your wallets. Read the EULA, security features and the privacy policies. Install patches, software updates and product upgrades when available.
  2. Don’t buy the first or beta version of the product. Let someone else test it out and wait for the manufacturer to rev the product.
  3. Become active with legislation to help create or change privacy laws for public and private companies to become more accountable for their products and services they bring to the market.
  4. Stop connecting everything. Don’t give up security for convenience.
  5. Use strong passwords and two factor authentication.

What can I do as an employee/manufacturer?

  1. Adopt a security focused approach, build and design security in, create use cases and test cases, write security related requirements through out every iteration. Develop threat models, pen testing and offensive security plans to test potential attacks. Ensure your Business Analysts, Project Managers, QA Engineers, Developers, Architects and Managers are measured on quality and security. Don’t be afraid to speak up if the product does not use proper encryption or privacy controls to secure user data and network services properly.
  2. Stop collecting so much user data, provide consumers with more choices to opt-out of data collection.
  3. Build in a line item into your budget just for security, and that does not mean buy more hardware and software. Invest in your employees, get them trained, cross trained or certified.
  4. Purchase and partner with key manufacturers for the memory, chips, sensors and processors who you trust, don’t pass the buck onto the consumers to pay for your laziness or cheapness.
  5. Don’t create backdoors or leave them open. Harden and secure endpoints.
  6. Listen to your customers, put quality first. Take the lead on creating a secure product line.
  7. Invest in systems that automate the detection of malicious activity so that it can be contained and remediated before data is lost or damage is done. Your network has to be configured to automatically prevent or detect these nefarious behaviors.
  8. Secure the data. Most data is unprotected in the cloud; personally identifiable information (PII) is open to anyone who wants it. The protection needs to start from the sensors and go all the way up to where the data is stored to cover data at rest and data in transit. Companies need to have and enforce a strict data retention policy and make sure they maintain a high level of security compliance.

I often get asked by friends and family, whose responsibility is security, isn’t it the companies that make it? The answer is a resounding, “no,” it is ours. It is our data, we own it and we should protect it. We need to become educated and aware of all the risks that come with surrounding ourselves with IoT connected devices. Companies are not good at securing their products or even their own infrastructures. They are starting to see and feel the effects of these poor decisions and security breaches by firing C-level executives or paying out millions in fines for lost consumer data. Security is every human’s responsibility to ensure that they are taking the necessary precautions to protect their own data. Do not rely on companies to do this on your behalf. As long as being first to market (quickly and cheaply) is their main driver, then security will most likely continue to be an afterthought and a reactionary gesture.

There is good news through all these breaches; the knowledge, experience and awareness is already here, we just need to learn from it. Listen and adapt to fit the constraints of IoT devices into our lives properly. Technology will continue to advance at a rapid pace and get better over time, but so will the bad actors.

Change your passwords frequently, install anti-malware, set up firewalls for your home networks, and most of all, never stop learning and educating yourself on security. Take control of your data and your lives, it is your responsibility. – – Wesley Simpson, COO, (ISC)²

REALLY QUICK LIST for my sanity.

1. I’m rushing nur ein.
2. I think this one is going to be riddled with WIN.
3. If I have acted CRAZY in any way in the past few months, I am so sorry. I haven’t been getting enough sleep. The situation will be rectified. I’ll be waking up now (metaphorically speaking). If you could do all you can to help me out with picking up the lost pieces of my life, that’d be great 🙂
4. One example, I’ve REALLY hermitted. That’s gotta stop.
5. Pizza and fudge shouldnt be eaten at the same time.
6. I’ve learned valuable things from song contests and stuff, but I think when I’m done I may start giving these things a miss for a while. I dunno. I’ve got to start working on an album or something, thinking about playing a LOT more.
7. Best lesson I’ll take with me is NEVER release things prematurely. That’s the best thing to know. I like my old perfectionistic ways. My gut instincts WERE correct, and there’s NOTHING wrong with them.

Sevens are lucky.

REALLY QUICK LIST for my sanity.

Pastel Wig

I wanted to shoot a headband I made and do just headshots for this post because…

a) my fashion-related talents are not just limited to sewing,

b) my wig collection is so big that it would be a shame not to showcase it, and

c) it gives me to opportunity to get back into the habit of using makeup as a form of self-empowerment.

This headband is one I made for my pair of lavender looks for Sacramento Fashion Week last year (fourth picture above).  I think making matching accessories to my garments really helps drive the overall message of a ‘look’ home.  It was one of the only headpieces I have that matches my most outrageous wig– this Rainbow Rock in Spring Bouquet by RockStar Wigs!  The wig was purchased about four years ago because I needed a wig in a raspberry pink in order to match an EGL ensemble.  I now want to use this wig in more shoots and fashion shows!

The wig is paired with Rock-a-Lash’s Lashing Out Loud (top lashes only).  My face is covered with foundation, hot pink and purple eyeshadow, purple eyeliner, black Wet-N-Wild liquid eyeliner, mascara, pinky blush, and a raspberry pink lipstick to match the pink in the wig.

I plan on making new headpieces soon for the shop– they will all probability be anywhere from $8 – $35 depending on how elaborate they are.  The whole shop is going to be revamped, so stay tuned to see what I will (literally) have in store for you all!

For those who still need their hands on some pastels or fashions with a butterfly motif, I’ve picked out a few items for you to view!  Enjoy~

Hedge Fund Manager vs. Portfolio Manager

by Geri Terzo ; Updated April 19, 2017

A hedge fund manager is a non-traditional asset manager who can be compared with a more traditional portfolio manager, such as a professional who runs a mutual fund. There are differences between hedge funds and mutual funds in the types of securities traded, strategies used and fees charged to investors. While traditional portfolio managers might take certain risks, hedge funds often maximize risk in order to outperform the rest of the markets.

In the U.S., investment companies must register with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Portfolio managers of traditional funds must disclose investment and strategy details in a prospectus. Hedge funds were not required to register with the SEC until new financial legislation was passed in 2011. Even then, only hedge funds with $150 million in assets or more were required to register, according to a January 2011 article in "The New York Times," and remain subject to lighter regulation versus traditional portfolio managers.

Traditional portfolio managers often adhere to a long-only strategy, which is to invest according to a strategy that stocks will rise in value. Hedge funds, however, are known to invest in a long/short strategy, which involves not only a bet on a stock's likelihood to rise but also a belief that another stock's price is over valued and will decline. This strategy dates back to the origination of hedge fund trading, when industry founder Alfred Winslow Jones applied long/short trading techniques in the mid-20th century.

Hedge fund managers often use leverage in trades, which involves borrowing financial securities from prime brokerages to place higher bets in the markets. It's a risky technique because if the trade fails, a hedge fund is still on the hook for the borrowed shares. In 2008, mutual fund managers began adopting a 130/30 strategy, which similarly adds leverage to trades, according to a January 2009 article in "The Wall Street Journal." Hedge funds face fewer restrictions than traditional portfolio managers must adhere to leverage allowances.

A hedge fund fee structure is typically two-pronged, including a 2 percent charge for fund management and a 20 percent fee for investment performance. Traditional portfolio managers, such as mutual fund managers, adhere to a somewhat opaque fee structure, although charges are typically outlined in a regulatory document, such as a prospectus, according to the U.S. SEC. According to a 2009 ABC News article, fees are assessed based in part on the size of assets managed and fund managers can lift fees discreetly.

Steak Quesedillas

This is our family's favorite steak quesedilla recipe. Pair it with a home-made pico de gallo and some good chips or a black bean salad. Yum!

serves 10 (7 points +)

  • 1 each green, red and yellow pepper, chopped
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 10  flour tortillas ( 8")
  • 2 c. reduced fat cheedar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cooked southwest flank steak or sirloin, chopped small

Marinade for Steak:

  • 1/4 c. lime juice
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 T. chili powder
  • 1 T. canola oil
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp. pepper
  • 1.5 lbs. beef flank steak

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first seven ingredients. Add the steak and turn to coat. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.

Drain and discard marinade. Coat grill with cooking spray. Grill over medium heat 5-7 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting. I cooked mine on a George Foreman grill for about 10 minutes total.

In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook and stir peppers and onions until tender. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the cooked, chopped steak and shredded cheese. Spoon onto 10 tortillas and fold in half. If you have a George Foreman, you can grill the quesedillas or if not, you can cook in the same large nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray. Cook 1-2 minutes per side or until cheese is melted. Cut each into 2 wedges. Serve with salsa, guacamole or sour cream if desired.

What Would Dale Carnegie Think of Humanity in the 21st Century?

In business networking, business relationships, career, coaching, communicating, communication, communication skills, Dale Carnegie, effective communicating, executive coaching, interpersonal skills, leadership, managing, networking, people skills, professional behavior, professional development, public speaking, sales, Uncategorized on January 3, 2012 at 4:07 pm

Dale Carnegie’s 30 Human Relations Principles were available to the world in 1936. They were introduced in his book, “How to Win Friends and Influence People,” which still reigns as the almighty in guiding people to value and act with humanity.  I owe Mr. Carnegie so much personally for how his brand of goodness has changed my life for the better, and will continue to be his champion until I leave the planet.

Not that I can pretend to know if he would have tweaked his principles for a world in which texting has replaced an actual conversation, but I will try to imagine what additional principles he might have added on to include the world we now live in. Assume the first 30 principles are still in tact, as is.

31.  Turn off hand-held devices when in the company of another human being.  Engage!

32. Be respectful, compassionate and responsible in honoring diversity: race, gender, sexual-orientation, ethnicity, culture, religion and politics.

33. Use cell phones in public only for emergencies.  Honor others needs for peace, quiet and space.

34. Ask for help when you don’t understand.  People love feeling that they have something to offer.

35. Offer personal help and support whenever and wherever you can.  You can forever change someone’s life with the smallest action and also become part of the “Pay it Forward” cycle in which someone will come to your aid.

36. Be generous about introducing people to others in your network.

37. When in a conversation, make direct eye contact and listen to understand.

38. Take full responsibility for your own feelings — never blame others for your circumstances.

39. Recognize the greatness in others and allow them to influence you.

40. Apologize, even when you have inadvertently hurt another’s feelings.

41. Build and look to work with teams of smart, devoted, dignified people who have complementary strengths to your own.

42. Say what you mean, be honest, and clear about your intentions.

43. Read the first 30 principles over and over and over.

Happy “Winning Friends and Influencing People,”
