1. Get excited
You have more options and thus more opportunities than ever before. This also means that you will have more choices to make. Take responsibility and get excited about the choices you will make now as they will determine your level of success and personal satisfaction in the future. Conversely, if you feel that you are "making do" or just settling for something, you can expect more of the same and set yourself up for possible failure.
2. Why versus how
One of the main reasons people fail in following through on their resolutions is because they have not developed enough compelling reasons why they should change. Once you are clear about what you want, whether it is a personal goal or business objective, create a strong "emotional awareness" for yourself. This means that you have to go beyond your thoughts and carry it over to your emotions. Fall in love with the process of reaching your goals.
3. Associate with the right people
Look for family, friends or co-workers who believe in you and support you. Seek the assistance from a personal coach who can give you the learning, strategies, motivation and accountability to achieve your goals.
4. Sweat the small stuff
Henry Ford once said that if you break a big job into small parts it will become easy. Ask yourself what activities are necessary each day and every week to move you in the direction of your goals.
5. Choose feedback versus failure
Many people don't set goals because they are afraid they might fail. Remember that failure is a concept that only exists in your mind. When you don't get immediate results, you have not failed, but you have only produced a certain result. So whatever the results are, consider it feedback and not failure. Ask yourself:"What can I learn from the result I produced?" It is within the answer to this question that you will discover new opportunities and learn better ways of creating the results you seek. At all times remain flexible.
6. What you focus on expands
Focus on what reaching your goal will mean to you, your family, friends or colleagues. Create a mental picture in your mind of the new and improved you and let go of the limiting beliefs and thoughts of your current situation. When you focus on what you don't have (yet) or focus on the voids in your life, you will only get more of it.
7. Teamwork makes the dream work
When you set goals, think how others will benefit as well. Selfish goals have little merit. Success in any endeavor can only be achieved with and through others.
Compelling goals will give you the ability to grow and stay focused in times of social and economic change. Goals will not only pull you in the direction where you want to go, but also influence the activities you get involved in and the people you meet along the way. You will find that the path you take, the direction you choose is what is most rewarding. It's not so much what you will get when you reach your destination or achieve your goal, it's the person you will become when you get there that defines you for yourself and others.
To your success in 2009!

Question # 1: "How Am I Committed?"
Why is it that we tell ourselves we want certain things but we don't take action? We might have the best of intentions to make certain changes in our lives, yet we do not follow through on our resolutions? Does that mean we are lazy or undisciplined? Are we afraid of failure? Are we holding on to limiting beliefs about ourselves? We get frustrated when we think and say we are committed to wanting something for ourselves, but no action follows that voice of commitment.
When you fully commit to something, action always follows thought. There is no question, no debate, no doubt or struggle. You don't wonder whether or not you will take action or not. Commitment goes beyond making a choice. I have never met a mother who had to think about and decide whether or not to feed her baby. People gain a mysterious strength and resolve when they make a commitment.
Commitment is a unique personal experience. As a personal coach I can offer you many possible commitment strategies, yet the best personal style of commitment comes from a deep emotional awareness within yourself. Often our commitments are invisible to us and we don't think about them as commitments, it is what we do naturally. And that's the whole point.
Recall a time in your life when you were committed to something. You were so deeply committed that there was no doubt in your mind, and taking action was almost automatic and effortless. Take some time to answer the following questions to discover the underlying structure of your own personal commitment strategy.
Understanding and modeling your personal commitment strategy will help you create resolve to meet your New Year's resolutions.
To your success in 2009!

Question # 2: "What Do I Want?"
The quality of your life's experiences amounts to the sum of all the decisions you have ever made.
The power to make decisions is what gives you freedom. The more freedom you have, the more options you can entertain. The more options you have available, the more opportunities you can create for yourself and others.
Have you ever been told what to believe? Have you ever had someone tell you what you should do, how you should feel or behave? Why would you have someone else decide for you in your life? What is the cost of living that way? Life is short, and time is your most valuable resource. Letting anyone else decide for you is a waste of time! No one else knows you as well as you do. You are the expert of your own life.
Think of yourself as the majority shareholder in your life. What are some of the strategic decisions that will help you grow and flourish in the New Year? What will you vote "yes" for in your life? What will you vote "no" for? Recognizing that you have a choice does not mean that there will never be any uncomfortable consequences. But not making a decision is also a decision which could have consequences that are just as negative.
Peter Drucker once said that whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision! In what department of your life's organization - relationships, money, health, fun, recreation, personal growth - do you currently experience the most challenge? Where do you feel trapped?
Whatever you believe is missing, it is yours, waiting to be claimed. The first step is to make a conscious decision about the things you would like to have more of and the things you will need to let go off.
Some people get trapped in inaction. They have a hard time saying yes, because that would mean that they have to close off other possibilities. In economics, this is referred to as the 'opportunity cost'. The same principle is true in life. Saying yes to one thing often means saying no to many other possibilities.
Don't just dwell in possibility. Dwell in reality!
Choose, decide, take action, and make 2009 your best year ever!
"Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.
Establish your priorities and go to work." (H.L. Hunt)

Life and carreer coach based in St Louis
Question # 3: "How Do I Honor My Core Values?"
Your core values express the essence of who you are. Although you may share similar values with others, you have a unique set of values. Many of the important decisions that you make, and the actions you take, are based on the values that you hold. Your values, together with the beliefs that support them, are an energetic driving force and provide meaning and direction in your life.
If you commit time and energy to something that violates or neglects one of your core values, you will most likely feel resentful and frustrated. If your values are not respected at your job or in your relationships, you will feel that something is missing.
While it is enormously helpful to know your core values, it is not always easy to identify them.
Often these things are so much a part of who you are, that they become invisible to you.
Create a list for yourself by thinking about the ideas and questions below. Don't worry about getting it right and capturing all of your values. Your list will be a work in progress. Also, your values don't have to be a single word; they could be a string of words or sentences or themes. Find the words that work best for you.
Think about the following questions:
For each of us, there are usually values that are so much a part of us that we don't even think to put them on a list. These are often our most dearly held values. A teacher might fail to include learning; an artist might forget to write down creativity, a business owner might overlook financial success.
Generate a list of values. Next notice which of these in your life you are honoring, which "get lost" or are neglected, and which you sometimes violate through behaviors or choices.

Take a moment and write down the unique qualities that define you?
What are the qualities that are at the core of who you are?

Question # 4: "Who Do I Spend My Time With?
The people you spend most of your time with have a strong influence on you. When you are surrounded by negative or angry people, you will absorb some of their negativity or anger. When you spend time with people who inspire you, support you and believe in you, their positive energy will boost your motivation, self-confidence and inner strength.
Do not underestimate the power of influence of the people you surround yourself with.
Make a mental note of the people in your personal and professional life with whom you most often associate and think of how they are influencing you, both positively and negatively.
Perhaps you've heard the story of the little bird. He had his wing over his eye and he was crying. The owl said to the bird, "You are crying." "Yes," said the little bird, and he pulled his wing away from his eye. "Oh, I see," said the owl. "You're crying because the big bird pecked out your eye." And the little bird said, "No, I'm not crying because the big bird pecked out my eye. I'm crying because I let him."
I believe that the quality of your life is greatly influenced by the quality of your associations and relationships. Be cautious of the people you allow yourself to associate with in your personal life and business.
Choose to surround yourself with people who will move you forward on your journey and let go of the negative influences that impede your progress.

Question # 6: "Where Do I Focus My Attention?"
Your life becomes what you focus on. Your thought patterns create the texture of your everyday life.
You are always focusing on something. The experiences you create in this very moment, and the next, are based on where your focus lies.
What you see depends on what you look for. What you hear depends on what you listen for and what you feel depends on the experiences you seek. Your expectations, based on what you focus on, blossom into self-fulfilling prophecies.
The results you create are a result of your focus. If you're not getting the results you are looking for, it is time to re-examine what you focus on. If you keep focusing on the same things and keep doing what you've always done, sure enough, you'll keep getting the same results.
Your mind cannot tell the difference between something you think about or focus on that you do want, and the stuff you think about that you don't want. Your mind is a very effective goal seeking mechanism and seeks to create precisely what you focus on. The key is to direct your focus on the goals and experiences that you do want in your life.
Think of your focus as a sticky boomerang. What you focus on comes back to you, with more strength that it has gathered along the way. If you send out anger, fear, negativity or jealousy, you will invite the same thoughts manifold.
What you focus on expands.
Focus on what is going well in your life right now and what is good for you moving forward. Focus on your innate talents and capabilities. Focus on what you believe is possible and you will see opportunities rather than constraints.

Question # 9: "What Would I Do If I Knew I Couldn't Fail?"
What if failure was not an option? The fear of failure holds us back more than anything else in all our pursuits in life. Many people don't even set goals because they are often so afraid of failing that they do not even try.
How many opportunities have you missed in the past because you lacked the courage to take a chance, to play full out, all because you were afraid you might fail? How much more pain and lost opportunities are you willing to endure by continuing to allow fear and procrastination to rule your life?
Failure is a concept that only exists in your ego's mind. If your ego would have a favorite slogan, it would probably be "Playing It Safe." Your ego operates in the emotional comfort zone of your mind and will do anything in its power to keep you there. It is that little voice in the back of your head giving you all the reasons why you shouldn't do this or try that …
The only way to create results in your life is by taking action. Realize that, succeed or fail, you will produce results from which you will learn.
Don't be afraid of failure; be afraid of not taking action!

We all have 24 hours each day. We cannot manage 'time', yet we can choose how we manage ourselves with the time we have. Time is your most valuable resource. You only have a limited supply.
What is your present relationship with time? Does it give you the satisfaction and fulfillment you seek? Do you feel there are never enough hours in the day to achieve what you want? Do you sometimes feel that others are managing your time?
How you choose to spend your time is how you spend your life.
The way you spend your time tells you much about your priorities and what you value in life.
Do you know what your core values and priorities are? Have you decided what the top ten things are that you want to spend your time on in the New Year?
"If you want to make good use of your time, you've got to know what's most important and then give it all you've got." (Lee Iacocca)
Take some time to reflect on the larger areas in your life, such as your work/career, health, relationships, finances, personal growth, fun and recreation.
How can you manage yourself more effectively allowing you to spend more time in those areas that are most important in your life? What choices will you make? What will you say 'no' to in order to gain more balance and experience more fulfillment in life?
If you choose to live a more balanced life, you must redefine your relationship with time, to shift the emphasis from quantity to quality, from frustration to fulfillment, from lack to abundance, from pressure to peace.
Managing your time is a choice!

It's that time of year when many of us formulate our resolutions for the coming year. Whether it is getting in shape, reducing debt, finding a better job, finding our soul mate, we all vow to become and do better in the future.
But how come so many of us fail to keep our well-intended New Year's resolutions?
Most goal setting seminars teach you that the first thing you have to do is become absolutely clear about what it is you want, create a plan and work the plan. While these are important steps moving forward, why is it that within 30 days, most resolutions will be no more than a vague memory?
We get discouraged when results don't come quickly enough or we find that we are not necessarily happier because of them. The main reason however is because we do not fully understand ourselves and we haven't learned how to manage ourselves more effectively.
Before setting any personal, business or career goals, it's important to get a better understanding of yourself, because unless you take control of all the stuff inside of you that is running your life, nothing you do or say on January 1st will help you get or achieve what you really want.
When you look at your life - from the inside out - as something you are creating, rather than having external circumstances or others create it for you, you can take full responsibility for your own life's experiences.
In order to follow through and successfully achieve your New Years resolutions, your goals must be aligned or congruent with your core values and beliefs; the stuff that matters most in your life. Without these things, you would not be the person you are today.
Values are basically ideals and principles that are important to you. They are usually expressed in abstract terms such as respect, freedom, love, justice, health, integrity, success and so forth. Beliefs on the other hand are essentially assumptions, agreements or judgments you have made (mostly subconsciously) about yourself, others and the world you live in. Limiting beliefs will hold you back, while empowering or positive beliefs move you forward. Often your values and beliefs are so much a part of who you are that they become invisible to you and difficult to identify.
Values and beliefs provide the foundation upon which your level of personal commitment, motivation perseverance and courage is built. If you build your goals or New Years resolutions upon a weak foundation, or you have cracks in the foundation, such as conflicting values or limiting beliefs, it will be difficult to overcome challenges and personal setbacks in pursuit of your goals.
Ultimately, the successful achievement of your goals will be a tangible expression of your core values and beliefs.
At a deeper level, what you value the most and believe gives you a sense of who you are – a sense of self worth. It is from this unique point of self reference that you see and perceive the world around you. Most people live their lives consistent with their self image and will do almost anything to operate within the boundaries they have created.
Every positive act of change in your life is fostered by a change in self-perception. This means that what is standing between you and your goals and dreams, are not circumstances – like the state of the economy – but the assumptions you have made about yourself.
Know Thyself!
Whether you want to lose weight, get out of debt, improve your sales, get organized, enjoy life more, spend more quality time with your family, start a business, or build a new career, identifying and clarifying your core values and inner beliefs is an important and necessary step toward personal achievement, fulfillment and success.

"Each decision we make, each action we take, is born out of an intention."
(Sharon Salzberg)
With the New Year getting closer, what choices will you make that will affect the direction of your life? In which area(s) of your life did you experience the most challenge in the past year? -relationships, money, health, personal growth or your career?
Whatever you believe was missing in 2008, it is yours, waiting to be claimed in 2009!
The first step is to make a conscious choice about the things you would like to attract, create or change and the things you would like to let go off. Consider all of your relationships, ways of being, beliefs, goals, attitudes, behaviors, perceptions, habits, and even material things. Identify the things in your life that are draining you, as well as the things that are nourishing you.
When we don't challenge ourselves to create or to grow, we get stuck in the present and feel anxious about the future. When we don't make a conscious choice, the past creates the future. That is also a choice!
When you set goals for 2009, the choice of intention is the most fundamental choice you will make. The experiences you attract into your life are determined more by your intentions than your actions.
One person may donate money to a foundation in order to obtain a tax deduction, while another may do so to further help the cause of that foundation. Their actions are the same, while their intentions are quite different.
Let's assume that your goal is to change careers. Possible intentions for this goal could be to make more money, to feel less stress, to make more time for your family or to use more of your creative talents.
It is the conscious decision of your intention that will determine the experiences you have, the results you create and the people you attract into your life. When your intentions are aligned with your core values and principles, you will experience more joy, success, balance and fulfillment in pursuit of your goals!
Take some time to reflect on the outcomes you would like to create for this upcoming year and feel what your real intention is for each of them.
Setting your intent is about directing your focus in the present moment toward a future outcome. Because of the constantly changing environment of your life, setting your intent is an ever renewing process.
Set your intentions deliberately and carefully! To your success in 2009!

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) Take a look at a complex off of Cherokee Trail boast five swimming pools, a fully equipped gym, computer lab, putting green and movie theater, and you may be surprised to find it filled with college students.
"I was sold immediately. You know, it's a college environment. It's fun. It's very nice," said UT junior Earl Whaley.
Most of the residents at the Woodlands of Knoxville are still on mom and dad's dime, and the luxury complex looks nothing like places that existed when mom and dad were in school.
"Even talking to my parents about places they were living when they were in college, they're just amazed about where I'm living up here," said UT junior Lydia Midgley.
"Everybody's wanting to live a more luxurious life as things go on. We try to spoil ourselves. You know, why not just live in some place that's very affordable and very nice," said Whaley.
The luxury includes everything from private bathroom to security systems.
"You know, when you're a student you go from living in the sluggish dorms and we want to live in a nice place where you have your own bathroom and it's clean. You don't really have to share anything with anybody," said Whaley.
It also includes plenty of place to take a break.
"It's just nice to have things to do, like extracurricularly. We're mostly students and going to school 5 days a week. You know, we like to take a break," said Midgley.
And as more complexes set to open over the next few years on campus, off of Aloca and in the Fort Sanders area, those in the business say luxury is the future.
"Times are changing and we want to cater to students. They know what they want," said Whaley.
Bedrooms at the Woodlands start at $475 a month, compared to more than $9,000 in housing costs in dorms at UT.

Flint, Michigan. Named the most dangerous city in America by the F.B.I. three years running.
One of them tastes like an old ash tray and the other one is a cigar....wait....what? Who talks like that????? :-OEggcelsior said:Plus they taste good. Wait... What? Ewww... :-SIt's like Cuban cigars and strippers... You want what you can't get.
A few years ago I bought a bottle of Pappy's 20 year old. Hard to get even then. Was it good? Yes. Would I buy another @ $200 a bottle? No.Fred19Flintstone said:I like bourbon. That being said, any booze you have to be on a list to get, keep calling somebody to check its availability and probably mortgage the house when it finally is available is not worth it. Gimme some Woodford or Makers and I'll be happy. Its plentiful, reasonably priced and very good.

When we ask our prospective clients what their group did for a team building exercise in years past, we sometimes hear "We went to a baseball game." or "We went wine tasting." or " We did a jazz aerobics, but some people couldn't keep up." or "We wanted to do paintball, but some of the team members did not like that idea."
A corporate team building activity must be something that EVERYONE on your team can participate in and enjoy. Yes, they may feel uncomfortable at first, but it should never be an activity where someone is downright scared or negatively singled out because of their lack of athleticism or daring. The people on your team were presumably hired, because they bring value and expertise to the team. Real team building should build on those skills and increase the ability of team members to interact and solve problems together. You do not need to belittle people or force them into something that goes against their nature in order to build a good business team.
So-- consider that not everyone likes to drink wine, not everyone is physically fit, not everyone feels comfortable with ropes courses or war games like paintball. These have their place, and small "homogeneous teams" with members that are very similar and have the same tastes can get a tremendous amount of enjoyment from them. However, 99% of the time, teams are very diverse.
Additionally, a good team building activity requires communication and interaction among the team members. Going to see a baseball game or on some excursion does not require people to talk to each other. Typically, people will sit with their friends and talk to them. They will not go out of their way to be with team members they really don't know well (which is the point of team building).
The best team building events, therefore, must have broad appeal, be an activity that every team member can participate in, require communication, interaction, encourage getting people to know others they are not familiar with, be fun and engaging, and ultimately perceived as being a good and valuable use of time. If the event or activity you select does not meet these criteria, you should rethink your choice.

How to ace an operations interview?ST
I have an interview for an operations position at a buy side investment management shop that is pretty large. Due to a lack of experience I am hoping to get my foot in the door by getting this operations spot that backs up the portfolio management and research groups. I know a lot of people say that this is a wrong way to try and do it but at this point I feel good about it because I met a few examples of people who have made the jump from ops to a different front office spot.
So, how do I ace this interview. I know about some operational stuff from a previous internship, but what sort of questions do I ask? How do I sound excited about the job and what how do I approach this? Not sure how to handle a different type of position interview when all I have ever been passionate about is equity/fixed income research which is where I hope this position leads me.
Thanks in advance!

I was in FO at a HF last year when I was an intern, all the Ops kids were like you. They wanted to get into Ops so they can transfer to FO, its not only difficult, but if you show any interest in FO, you will not get an offer. There was an intern who got let go because he kept talking to the FO people instead of doing his job.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Your guide to what's in, out this year
'Happening' things come and go each year
Once again we have arrived at that fortuitous time of year when, in a sincere and humanitarian gesture, I attempt to make you as cool as me.
I'm not saying you're not hip; I'm just saying that, unlike me, you are not openly embracing all the "happening" things the new year has to offer.
Which is why today, as I always do, I am riding to your rescue with my annual guide to what's in and what's out, what's hot and what's not in 2013, beginning with...
OUT -- The end of the world
IN -- The end of my diet
BECAUSE -- I can think of no better way to celebrate the fact the Mayans didn't know what they were talking about than with a double-cheeseburger with bacon and a large order of fries.
OUT -- Gangnam Style
IN -- Any (bad word) style you want
BECAUSE -- It's not that I am sick to (another bad word) death of that nerdy-looking South Korean singer prancing around and doing that stupid giddy-up move on his imaginary horse... no, sorry, that's EXACTLY what I'm saying. Telling the truth is in this year, too.
OUT -- Politicians
IN -- Zombies
BECAUSE -- It's high time that we, as a democracy-loving nation, started paying attention to the people with the most brains... in their stomachs.
OUT -- Watching NHL hockey
IN -- Watching your kids play hockey
BECAUSE -- It doesn't cost you thousands of dollars. OK, technically, it does cost you thousands of dollars and you have to get up wicked early in the morning, but at least you know your kids aren't going to sleazy nightclubs and blowing their cash on shooters and then tweeting embarrassing pictures of themselves doing wildly inappropriate things, right? I said, right? Look, as long as they don't end up playing for the Leafs, everything should be just fine.
OUT -- Vacationing on an Italian cruise line
IN -- Bumper-shining on the back of a city snowplow
BECAUSE -- All things considered, it's a lot safer. As far as we have heard, snowplow operators never drive up on the sidewalk and flip over while trying to impress their hot girlfriends.
OUT -- Elmo
IN -- Oscar
BECAUSE -- What with being a family newspaper and everything, we don't want to be too explicit, but it looks like Oscar can teach a few of his buddies some valuable tips about life in the can.
OUT -- The doomed penny
IN -- The beloved quarter
BECAUSE -- The penny's time has finally come. Next month, the Royal Canadian Mint will start collecting pennies for melting and recycling of the metal content. Sure, we're losing a trusted old friend, but we still have the plucky quarter, the most beloved of all coins. Why do I say that? Because whenever I go to a Bombers game I hear fans praying: "Dear God, we need a quarter back!"
OUT -- The Taliban
IN -- The Tally Man
BECAUSE -- Instead of blowing things up and shooting schoolchildren, the Tally Man brings us a beautiful bunch of ripe bananas. You know, six-foot, seven-foot, eight-foot bunch. We could go on, but daylight come and me wan' go home.
OUT -- Fifty Shades of Grey
IN -- Fifty shades of anything else
BECAUSE -- We fondly remember the time when "mommy porn" was just a woman watching her husband stop the car to ask for directions or, maybe, depositing his dirty socks and underwear directly into the laundry hamper as opposed to the floor on his side of the bed.
OUT -- Talking to an empty chair
IN -- Talking to Charlie Sheen
BECAUSE -- We love Clint as much as the next guy, but somehow Charlie seems a little less crazy now.
OUT -- Here Comes Honey Boo Boo
IN -- Jim Beam Honey Bourbon liqueur
BECAUSE -- If you're going to rot your brain, you might as well do it like a real man. Also, we have just Googled these two items and we got roughly seven million hits for honey bourbon and (wait for it) more than 66 million for Honey Boo Boo. Which makes us think, just maybe, the Mayans were right after all.

Dr Christie, an Aberdonian, graduate of Aberdeen University and Dundee University is the most experienced ultrasound baby scanning operator in Scotland. He has been at the forefront of ultrasound development and application since 1965 and is internationally recognised for his experience and expertise.

In 1991 Dr Christie was awarded the 'Ian Donald Silver Memorial Medal' by the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) for services to the teaching and clinical applications of ultrasound. He is the only holder in Scotland of this International award.
He was Head of the Department of Obstetric Ultrasound at the University of Dundee Medical School from 1970 to 1995..

Family children aged 5 or more may enjoy sharing the experience of viewing the new developing baby.
Recent experiences have emphasised that children younger than 5 years have shown no interest, and as a result, have invariably become disruptive and noisy. This makes concentration / scanning impossible at times.
Consequently, for Health and Safety reasons, and avoidance of wasted scanning times, we must request that children under 5 years of age should not be present at scanning appointments.
Thank you.
The FIRST NHS scans are scheduled for 13 - 14 weeks pregnant.
We offer Reassurance scans from 5 weeks to 12 weeks which is particularly relevant to clients who have experienced early pregnancy problems. No need to wait a further 8 or 9 weeks to find out if the pregnancy is viable.
Full details of ALL our SCAN OPTIONS can be seen on the 'Packages and Prices' page.
This is a family-run business, dedicated to offering a superior service at the lowest possible cost.
We do not use cheaper portable scanners, which may restrict image quality.

… these striped canvas wedges I've just come across while preparing another shoe-related post. First of all, these girls reminded me of my Donna Karan wedges. Then, naturally, I fell in love with the stripes and the beautiful flirty bows, the well-known weaknesses of mine. And lets not forget the cork platform – so light and comfortable for walking.
Just imagine wearing these shoes with a floaty or skater style dress or cropped trousers (or shorts) and beautiful loose silk blouse and for the trendy souls, mixed with a few other stripy garments and accessories.
Lets not forget that this season is definitely the time of the stripe and £45 is a great price to pay for adding something so pretty and stylish to any girl's spring/summer wardrobe. If it's your first purchase, you can also use the code NEW10 at checkout to receive £10 off your order and get the wedges for £35 – how brilliant is that?!

text: Celebrating CiCi: In Praise of Ciara's Underappreciated Gems Bradley Stern October 25, 2012 Ciara 17 Comments 214 First, the tea. Whether losing in battles on Twitter with Rihanna, volunteering at McDonalds and instantly sealing her fate for a lifetime of shady memes, putting the word "basic" in her own album title, tweeting photos of her oversized toes, achieving album sales that only Heidi Montag could covet, or climbing the Hot 100 in the past 2 years about as frequently as Karrueche Tran listens to Talk That Talk, Ciara has certainly set herself up for a fair amount of shade over the past few years. She's not exactly known for being a powerhouse vocalist either, nor has she really switched up her sound or ratchet-glam style since she first burst onto the scene in '04 (apart from the new hombre 'do this year, which looks quite nice.) But the fact remains that CiCi is still a very good pop star. Actually, she's a fantastic pop star. And one of the very best dancers in the game: "Get Up"? "Work"? And did you see that George Lopez performance of "Gimmie Dat"?! Those hips don't lie, and the girl never met a gravity-defying back-bend she didn't love. (Which, by the way, is not recommended for emulating at home. Trust me.) Aside from the dancing, she's also crafted a killer tune or two. From "1, 2 Step" to "Goodies" to "Like A Boy" to "Promise" to "Work" to "Ride" to "Gimmie Dat," CiCi's given us some genuinely twerk-conducive,sweat-inducing club cuts and slick, chilly slow jams over the years that rarely get the kind of love they deserve. And beyond her more well-known tracks, there's plenty of undiscovered gems hidden within in her oft-maligned discography. So today, on Ciara's birthday, and the day she premieres "Got Me Good," the freestyle-tinged second (or third?) single from her upcoming album, One Woman Army (coming "later this winter," the press releases dubiously declare), I've thrown together just a few of my favorite lesser known CiCi smashes in waiting. Let's proceed to break it down, shall we? "Echo" (iTunes) From the very first brag ("They say Ciara got the hood, Ciara got the 'burbs…"), there's no stopping CiCi's slay-tastic Fantasy Ride track, a ferocious explosion of searing synths and a wicked clang-a-lang beat. Every millisecond of the song simply begs for a proper choreographed routine. It's a stormer. (It's also sort of reminiscent of Godney's equally delicious Blackout bonus track, "Get Back.") The fact that it wasn't released as a single is already unjust, but the fact that it was subjugated to bonus track status? Criminal. "Turn It Up (feat. Usher)" (iTunes) "Turn It Up" is just one of the many unsung blazin' bangas on CiCi's ill-fated chart-bottomer Basic Instinct. The uptempo electro-R&B cut finds the R&B princess teaming up with fellow pop star Usher, promising complete club domination with their killer beats ("We can raise the dead!" The jokes truly write themselves.) Ciara's first verse especially is pure fire, as the thumping beat bursts into the speakers at the 30 second mark. It's yet another missed opportunity for an amazing single–and it probably would have been, had the album hadn't performed so poorly. "That's Right (feat. Lil Jon)" (iTunes) 2006: A time when Lil Jon was still relevant, and the term "crunk" was still a novelty: "I bet you gon' get crunk!" Lil Jon eagerly howls off the top of the track. From there, CiCi gets to bidness on top of a slapping, twerk-ready beat: "I was thinking hayl no, I already know what he wants," CiCi croons. There's tons of tongue-twisting treats ("Tap-tap-tap that booty") on the ultra catchy Evolution opener, making this one about as slap-happy as an early M.I.A. banger. And in true Ciara fashion, the track was kinda-sorta-almost selected as a single, and then just sort of sputtered out. But at least there's a video for the track! And it's fun (das right.) "Hotline" (iTunes) Before cutting "Sleazy" for Ke$ha or "Did It On 'Em" for Nicki Minaj, Bangaladesh was busy bangin' it up in the studio with CiCi. "Hotline" is a straight-up scorcher from Ciara's 2004 debut Goodies, which features some fancy telephone flirts ("I can be your operator") and a fluttery, sizzling instrumental. "Telephone" could never, basically. "G Is For Girl (A-Z)" (iTunes) Let's be honest: Any song with lyrics that run through the entire alphabet is kind of a sure thing. Rattling down her many assets from A-Z, Ci provided us with one of her most brag-ilicous cuts yet on Fantasy Ride. "P stands for Playa please, bow down when you're standing in front of a queen," Ci declares at one point, rivaling the heady delusions of Legendtina. But as soon as she runs out of letters and commands us to watch her break it down, the fun really begins: That beat is something sick. "Yeah I Know" (iTunes) "Yeah I Know" is another Basic track. (Sorry–it's just too easy sometimes.) Produced by Infinity, the minimal thumper strolls along a big fat slab of bass, as Ciara taunts and teases her way throughout: "Yeah, I know you want me, yeah I know/Tell me somethin' I don't know." It's big and bossy, and fairly cutting-edge in comparison to what's bumping on the radio at the moment. Missing out on this one? That's a no-no. "Pucker Up" (iTunes) Originally penned for The Holy Spearit (check out the amusing demo, as Darkchild yells: "New Brit!"), the Fantasy Ride album track is a killer, if not slightly overproduced burst of electro-fierceness. Much like the Bieber, CiCi's got more swag than she knows what to do with, so she's resorted to setting up a kissing booth: "If you don't like it, you can kiss my swag," Ciara taunts along the vaguely Blackout-esque scorcher. "I Run It" (iTunes) The super slick, slow-grinding and unbelievably underrated The-Dream and Tricky Stewart co-crafted finale of Basic Instinct is perhaps the most sexual offering in Ciara's entire discography. "Go ahead and tame me, brace me, hold me down/That's it…rough, soft, turn me around," CiCi delicately commands along the breathy, Janet-friendly affair. Between the warm tingles of electronica, the throbbing pulse and those ambient sounds lurking in the distance, you'll be turning down the blinds in no time: This one's a straight up boner jam. "I Proceed" (iTunes) "I Proceed" is essentially the kind of music Vanity 6 might be making in the 21st century. Full of bouncy, '80's-tinged synthesizers, aching purrs and a sickening electro pulse that just won't quit, the track is pure throwback with some modern dressings. "And therefore, I proceed to break it down and therefore, I proceed to break it down," Ci declares on repeat on the Neptunes-produced jam. "It's in the beat, boy/Aren't you hearing this?/Hit me so hard you feel the big…bass," she teases. Nasty girl. "Tell Me What Your Name Is" (iTunes) Taking down the BPM for a bit on Fantasy Ride, "Tell Me" is a deliciously midtempo space jam that sees CiCi CC'ing a stranger in the club. "I don't want to waste your time, I just want to make you mine, want to play with you all night…so tell me what your name is," she sensually purrs above dreamy electro-blips and a tripping synth beat, co-crafted by Dr. Luke and Benny Blanco. It's a gorgeous, almost Janet-esque production that's got a subtle way of working its way inside the mind. And assuming she's not wearing that hideous "FLY" fanny pack to the club, she's certainly worked into her mystery man's mind too. "Sorry" was released on September 25.

Cassie Fan Bradley, if you made a similar post concerning Cassie, I WOULD LOVE YOU FOREVER. http://www.muumuse.com Bradley Stern I'm only responding to this because it feels necessary: No record label, nor any PR company, has EVER paid me to write about an artist. Kiss my swag. x http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1079603415 Danyl Young I'm loving this post. And while I'm a big fan of Ciara, "Her toes are so long if she puts on Nikes she'd stretch them out to Nickelodeons." on that toes post just killed me. stfustrokes Let's not forget "Click, Flash" which was featured on the Sex & The City movie. CocoaBabe Oh, man. I am super late to this party… But I have to post here on these joints. Ciara's music is everything. She captures that thump like a lady which is the best way to describe how I like to jam. You have earned a fan of this site. I will be back to scroll thru past and future gems you have posted.
