Arizona project management certification
Project management skills still in short supply, CIO Council finds
The just do it program manager
The terms certification and credentialing are often used interchangeably, but it's important to understand the difference when designing training programs, according to the Project Management Institute (PMI).A certificate usually shows completion of a course or program that a participant takes, and those programs are designed to provide training, education and, in some cases, experience for individuals in an organization, PMI said. The programs might require an exam to complete them.A credential, on the other hand, grants formal recognition to certificants who meet certain predetermined, standardized criteria. PMIs exams identify how project or program managers do their jobs and test their knowledge, skills and experience as a project or program manager in those jobs.Many government certification programs allow for the equivalent of a PMI credential in their certification program. In turn, that exempts participants who have those credentials from certain courses or levels within certification programs, according to PMI.Credentialing is the higher power in project management education. For example, before qualifying to take a PMI credential, the applicant must have verifiable project management experience. Brian Robinson

It sounds as if either the CD drive is not registered as E; drive or the CD disk is not recognized.
Silly question: Are you putting a DVD in a CD drive?
Try the following, if you are on XP (unsure about window 7.)
Press the START and BREAK keys together to bring up the System Properties box. Select HARDWARE, then DEVICE MANAGER
Find the CD drive entry and right click, select uninstall.Close by X in right corner
Reboot machine and your system will now find the 'New' hardware and re-install it.
Open my Computer and have a look at the drive letters and try to open /close the CD drawer.

Birthday weekend
We are frequent visitors to Stratton mtn and we've always stayed in a hotel. For this weekend we decided to invite our friends to spend the weekend and celebrate my son's birthday. This is my first time to rent a house and organize a trip that involved 3 families! The experience was great!!! Thanks to Lucy and Mike who shared their house & were very responsive to my inquiries. We loved the open concept of the 1st floor. We were able to mingle without being on top of each other & the bedrooms were spacious. Definitely coming back
Great Experience and Close to the Mountains
My friends and I were looking for a quick getaway during MLK weekend. The owner was quick to get back to us with the details, and the price was very reasonable. It was exactly what we were looking for. It was very spacious and easily fit everyone comfortably. The fire place was a big hit with my friends. As the last reviewer mentioned, it was also close enough to the mountain without being too busy.
Fantastic Fall Break!
We loved the house. It was well located to ski areas and shopping, yet very private. A perfect place for a holiday week or seasonal rental. Well equipped. Very clean. Beds were comfy. Can't wait to go back! The homeowner made renting very easy as well. Lastly, the area right round the home was very nice and all the other homes were private and well tended. Thanks:)

More new to me - now for ID?
As usual, no name tags (bought in well known nursery).
Anybody - help? Could #2 & #3 be divided?
1. 2 3
The 1st looks like a Graptoveria hybrid. The next is Echeveria 'Doris Taylor' or setosa??? and the last is Echeveria shaviana.
As for dividing the last two, I'd wait until the pups are larger and extend out more to give you something to stick in the ground and root. When you do, make sure you callous them for a week or so.
Adding to Howard's IDs, I think the first may be xGraptoveria 'Royal Flush'. When it flowers you can get a more positive ID.
2nd-may be Echeveria 'Pulv-Oliver' or Echeveria harmsii. Again, blooms will help ID.
3rd does look to be a form of E. shaviana.
Congrats on your new plants Rina!
Got few cacti today & one succulent, but again no name tags. I tried to figure out how to id them, but obviously I don't have an idea where to start.
I know I have seen pics here at least looking very similar, but can't find them now.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Would close-ups help?
Rina, I couldn't see your first photos :(
Don't know anything about cactus except yours look so healthy. Seems like you have a blossom forming on the bottom left one and the top right one. They are going to reward you with flowers for taking them home.
I have no idea what happened with the pics in first post; they are on photobucket-didn't remove them.
The new ones I just got today, maybe Howard knows - any other cacti collectors???
I grabbed those two with buds, hope they will flower soon. They do look healthy, hope they stay healthy with me too...
The succulents has 2 flower spikes, there is lots of "branches" from main flower stalk & under magnifying glass they look scale-like.
Hey Rina, nice haul! =)
Back left is a type of Mammillaria. There are so many, I'd have to research-but I don't have time on my hands now. Just jumping in & out of the forum! :) Middle, back, same thing~maybe Jordi will come along & help (or others).
Right back is Peperomia ferreryae. That is not a bloom stalk, but a stem of the plant. Blooms are skinny catkin-looking things (conical spikes). They have a neat stripe of a window on the top of the leaves!
Two cactus in front: they might both be Gymnocalycium. When they bloom, that will help in IDing them. Repost pix then please. It will be a beautiful bloom! Don't miss it! =D
Regarding your disappearing pix above. I did some detective work...you renamed your album, adding "- cacti 2012". That's why it seems the pix have been moved or deleted. In the future, you should just make new sub-albums instead. :)
Here they are again:
1. 2. 3.
You are so kind to take time!
And what a detective - I had no idea that renaming the album would cause this but I guess the original HTML does not match new, right?
Thank you again and do not worry about researching. I will try since now I know it is Mammillaria....not sure I'll sucesseed, but definitely will try.
This "world of cacti & succulents" is all new to me; everytime I see new photos, am very tempted to get some.
Wishing you Happy Easter.
And I'm glad that RoRo ID'd it as a Pep - I was going to put le shoebox in when I would have ID'd it as a funny-looking Dudleya.
Rina, there are hundreds of Mamm species/subspecies/varieties - while I heartily encourage you to look at all of them for an ID, that ID will be definitely more easy to determine when it's in flower.
And the plant we're discussing is Peperomia, amirite?
As you imply, it's always good to spell things correctly if we're going to spell them out.
I did not know about the rotted wood connection. Anything to do with kimchee is all right with me.
From Wikipedia
Peperomia (radiator plant) is one of the 2 large genera of the Piperaceae family, with more than 1000 recorded species. Most of them are compact, small perennial epiphytes growing on rotten wood. More than 1500 species have been recorded, occurring in all tropical and subtropical regions of the world, though concentrated to Central America and northern South America. A limited number of species (around 17) are found in Africa.
I've never knowingly grown one myself, but you're in a subtropical region of Ontario, right?
Thanks for catching & correcting the spelling on the Peperomia ferreyrae, Rina!:) That's what I get for copy/pasting from a site where it was misspelled. I did not double check in my rush! (And just to tweak some more, hee hee, Rina...there is no double p in Peperomia, as Jeff indicated.) All good info, folks!!
Jeff, Rosemarie-
yes, I misspelled peperomia...
I had no idea about ferreyrae until I googled it to see more pics.
(I probably misspell more often than not, English is my second language - but please, correct me any time you notice, anybody!)
Jeff, I am in subtropical region of Ontario, Canada - right in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
What is your first language, please? Mine's English, but I have a lot of problems with it.
We should do some trading sometime - I have some plants you could grow there, home of the world's best market (according to National Geographic). And the way the Blue Jays played last night (a new record for longest Opening Day game, which they won with a home run by the catcher, who had gone 0-6 in the game so far), I say, up with subtropical Toronto!
it's Slovak (and maybe English is my 3rd since we had to learn Russian when I was in school - from 3rd grade on - and just about all of us were really fluent in Russian...)
The market is pretty good, I don't think they sell any plants there?! Never thought to check it out, should make trip just to make sure.
My collection is very begginer-like, not sure if I can offer anything you don't have already. But open to suggestions...
I'd be happy to send you some cuttings / extra plants of mine, with no need for you sending me plants. You can donate the postage cost to the SPCA. If that's OK with you that's fine with me, if you don't mind waiting until the summer. Send me an email via my username and we'll iron out the particulars.

Drew Stafford returned to the lineup last night and scored all three goals for the Buffalo Sabres in their 3-2 victory at HSBC arena.
Drew Stafford returned to the lineup last night and scored all three goals for the Buffalo Sabres in their 3-2 victory at HSBC arena.
Granted, Sidney Crosby brought his point streak to 18 straight games, but taking a look at the score sheet it was Pittsburgh's no-namers that ended up beating the Sabres 5-2.
The Goose was loose and Thomas Vanek continued his personal Hot Streak as the Buffalo Sabres dominated the Sharks last night winning 6-3. Thomas Vanek's hot streak pales in comparison to Sydney Crosby who has a point in 17 straight games
A bonehead pass by Mike Weber cost the Sabres a point against the Bruins. Nathan Horton's goal with 6:21 left tied the game and Mark Recchi ended it in overtime. Sabres host San Jose tomorrow night at 7.
The Hockey News is reporting that Billionaire Terry Pegula has signed a letter of intent to buy the Buffalo Sabres. The Sabres are currently owned by (other Billionaire) Tom Golisano, who saved the franchise from bankruptcy after The Rigas Family (former Billionaire's, now prison residents) drove the once proud franchise into the ground
The Sabres gave the Washington Capitals an early 3-0 lead, but managed to climb back into the game with goals from Derek Roy and Jordon Leopold. But an empty netter sealed the Sabres fate, losing 4-2 last night. They're back at home against the first place LA Kings tomorrow and host Tampa Bay on Saturday Night.
Just because the Sabres are stinking up the joint, doesn't mean head coach Lindy Ruff doesn't deserve to be inducted into the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame.

I know we've all had our share of giggles about Robert Pattinson and his longstanding dream of a music career. Ha, ha! But stop your laughing and dry your eyes, because Hugh Jackman will have you know that Young Mister Pattinson has a "really soulful, very pure, very beautiful singing voice."
Jackman signed up to work with Pattinson on Unbound Captives way back in 2009, but they first met in 2008 on a flight to Tokyo. The story about Jackman, Pattinson, and Australia director Baz Luhrmann all hitting a Japanese "karaoke box" together might be old news, sure, but this is the first time Jackman has talked about the experience.
Revelations abound!
1) Robert Pattinson has a beautiful singing voice!
2) HUGH JACKMAN WORE A SCHOOLGIRL COSTUME. (Teehee!)
From MTV's Rough Cut, with perennially easygoing interviewer Josh Horowitz:
Josh: "Have you ever met Rob? Or have you—"
Hugh: "Yeah! I actually did karaoke with Rob."
Josh: "What?"
Hugh: "Right? That's random, isn't it."
Josh: "What did you guys sing?"
Hugh: "We were on our way to Japan, and he was promoting, and I didn't talk to him at all on the flight, because it's just this really tall guy with a hood over his head." [slumps in chair]
Josh: [giggling] "That's Rob!"

THE ORGANIZATION Hamdard 'the global house of herbal products' is a household name in Pakistan and is known worldwide having a very large product range. Hamdard is engaged in production of medicines under Greco-Arab System of Medicine. Herbal medicines are natural medicines, simple to use and have no adverse side effects. The great man HAKIM SAYEED established "Hamdard" in 1948. MISSION STATEMENT • To preserve and promote eastern system of medicine. • To establish the principles of pharmacy, its furtherance and standardization. • To teach and publicize the principles of health hygiene and medical sciences. • And through these serve the people selflessly. It is quite evident that the organization has actually implemented its mission statement in the business practices that it carries out. Also, the mission statement has been an important guideline for all the SBU's. SBU,s OF HAMDARD Right now Hamdard has about 300 products. The products are produced in three different forms i.e. liquids, solids, and semi solids. The products range fulfills the health requirements from all age groups i.e. from infants to aged persons.

The revenues earned from cash cows and stars, like Rooh Afzah, Joshina and others are used for the betterment of dogs and ?'s like Peelo toothpaste, Amline hair oil and others. CURRENT MARKETING SITUATION REGARDING STRATEGIC BUSINESS UNIT OF ROOH AFZA The current marketing situation of one SBU of Hamdard i.e. Rooh Afza is described as follows: THE TARGET MARKET The target market of Rooh Afzah includes all the people who can afford it. Which includes children, youth and all aged people regardless of gender discrimination. The target market has been decided after market segmentation. MARKET SEGMENTATION The marketing plan recognizes the various segments of the market for Rooh Afza, instead of marketing a product in one way to everyone. The segmentation is based on various criteria such as those listed below. Demographics: This is the study of the distribution, density and vital statistics of a population, and includes such characteristics as • • • • • • • Sex = no gender discrimination, its for all. Age = all those who can drink it. Education = both educated an uneducated. Marital status = for the people of all marital statuses. Size of family unit = for all families.

MARKET RESEARCH Before launching a new product, in the market, it is very important to know that whether people need that product or not. Further more, the company needs to estimate that whether people will welcome their product or not. Similar is the case with us. We also have tried to find out whether our product would be appreciated by people or not. The marketing research process comprised of four steps: 1) Defining the problem and research objectives. 2) Developing research plan. 3) Implementing the research plan. 4) Interpreting and reporting the findings 1)Defining the problem and Research objectives: Defining the problem and research objectives is often the hardest step in the research process. The manager may know that something is wrong, without knowing the specific causes. As we were to introduce an innovation in Rooh Afza. So our primary objective behind the market research was to describe things such as market potential and attitudes of customers towards the Rooh Afzah ready to drink packs. 2)Developing the research plan: - The second step of marketing research process calls for determining the information needed, developing a plan for gathering its efficiently, and presenting the plan to marketing management. The plan outlines sources of existing data and spells out the specific research approaches, contact methods, sampling plans, instruments that researchers will use to gather new data. . Survey research is the approach best suited for gathering descriptive information. A company that wants to know about people's knowledge, attitude, preferences or buying behavior can often find out by asking individuals directly. We made a number of surveys to offices, educational institutions and markets to know people's response towards ready to drink Rooh Afzah. Approximately ( %) responses in Rawalpindi and ( %) responses in Islamabad were in our favor. Research Approaches: - Research Instruments: - The instrument, which we used for our research, was questionnaire. We collected the primary data by distributing questionnaires.
