Leadership & Beyond! - The tread-mill impact.
Thank you for a great Convention.
How effectively can we leverage our "Leadership" to sustain our success in a fast changing environment is the buzz-strategy for every determined-to-grow leader.
One way to analyze the environment or market-place is to compare it with the "treadmill effect". The quintessence is simple. Our speed on the belt must match the speed of the belt. The two corresponding speeds complimenting one-another ensures safety. When the speed of the belt grows faster - we are compelled to increase our own pace. Interestingly, despite this hi-speed, we are yet in the same place. How do we go beyond is the real challenge.
Challenges of our living are similar. Due to the fast changing environments, it becomes increasingly important for us to evolve. Our inability to change can badly affect our success-levels.

Greenland Transportation
Poplic transport is very limited in Greenland (There is really only the busses in Nuuk) so if you need transport you need a pickup or a cab. They all run on meters like in Denmark but all do not take credit cards so it is good to have some cash at hand, that is Danish kroner. As English is not a generally spoken language among cabdrivers it is a...more

A transport form that is an adventure on its own is the boat trips you can make around the coastline in western Greenland. And do take the slow boat if you have time it is cheeper and you get more time to enjoy the splendid nature. It is a good idea to book your tour some time in advance as it can be full on some dates.

Heavy rains, snow or wind and dense fog may put everything...more
Visit Greenland from Iceland

Travel agency specializing on Greenland

The coast line
The coast line is sailing from Narssarssuaq and reach the cities at the westcoast. It is a spectacular trip with magnificent views. I prefer sailing in the summertime in sunshine and high temperatures among 15*C. But it is not allways like that. Also you now can cruise with a norwegian ship called MS FRAM.

How to get to Greenland?
Unless on a charter boat package from Svalbard, Canada or Iceland, or on board your own sailing vessel or cruiser, you will most likely be flying into Greenland.

Cost of flying to Greenland
The cost of flying (cheapest rates) from Copenhagen to Kangerlussuaq (north at the west coast polar circle) or Narsarsuaq (in the south) is about 4500-5000 DKR return. Internal return flights from Kangerlussuaq to -Ilulissat or Nuuk will come to about 3000 DKR. Roughly speaking a domestic 45 min -1 hr flight will come to about 1500 DKR one...more

"we ordered this particular design for our daughter's first birthday and they came out even better than I could've hoped...and the compliments we've received!! so easy to do and they came even faster than stated. Love***"
"Not only did I love the invitations for my son's first birthday party, but the customer service was FANTASTIC. I was personally called by Tiny Prints concerning the placement of my photo (the "ONE" was so big it covered my son's chin in the picture), and the employee created an alternative version for me to view with smaller lettering so that my son's chin was not covered. ALSO, the invitations arrived extremely fast and are beautiful!!"
"When I received this card in the mail I couldn't have loved it more. The quality of the paper as well the quality of the pics was amazing. The design itself is very beuatiful, I would recommend this card to anyone who wants a beautiful card featuring their beautiful child"
"The pictures I chose turned out great. They arrived 3-4 days earlier than the date given to me on the confirmation e-mail. I've already had 4 compliments on them from family/friends who have received an invitation. I definitely plan on using tiny prints again in the future."
"This card looks absolutely stunning! I ordered with the pearl look and I cannot be happier. The design goes great with my vintage chic theme. Thank you Tiny Prints!"

Re: carrier change in response to minero2002
I'm confused by what you're describing.
All you have to do is turn iMessage off and then turn it back on to get the new number registered.
To note, the carrier has to support iMessage and Facetime to make it work.
Or if you change SIM cards, just tap OK on the notification that pops up about using the number with iMessage.

Bistrot Le Zinc
3714 Macomb Street Northwest
Washington, DC 20016
(202) 686-2015
Cuisines: French
Opening Hours:
Tuesday through Friday 10 AM to 11 PM, Saturday and Sunday 5 AM to midnight
Price Range: Moderate
Reservations: Not Needed
Website: http://www.bistrotlezinc.com
With restaurants, simplicity is an often-underrated virtue. But that's what keeps drawing us back to this bistro--us and plenty of neighborhood regulars. The butter-yellow dining room, crammed with a ragtag array of pictures (a black-and-white shot of Bill Clinton and Madeleine Albright, a Steve McQueen poster), tends to be busy even on weeknights.
Chef/co-owner David Ashwell, Robert Wiedmaier's longtime right-hand man, is turning out such straightforward but soulful bistro fare as excellent steak frites, crocks of mussels, and a rich onion soup. There's not too much tinkering with tradition, but the terrific lemon tart is like nothing we've had--its tender crust holds faintly citrusy custard covered with brûléed sugar and, atop that, translucent slices of raw lemon.
What to get: Mussels Bolognese; sweetbreads with grainy mustard sauce; escargots with Stilton and apples; rockfish crusted in brioche crumbs and served with tapenade.
Open Tuesday through Sunday for lunch and dinner. Moderate.

Trent Richardson is gonna be the next great running back at Alabama. The guy can run through you like Glen Coffee or run past you like Shaun Alexander. He was one of the top speeds in the 100 meter sprints in Florida and that my friends is saying something for a guy who ways 220 pounds. He is gonna be the type of guy who will be a nightmare in the fourth quarter for opposing team defenses. Rivals.com has him rated in the top 5 in the best bruising inside runners and in the top 5 in the top home run threats. I think Trent or possibly Julio Jones will hopefully bring the first Heisman Trophy to Alabama but if we can just win a national title while they are there that will be good enough in my eyes.
