Congratulations Alaine
Congratulations to Alaine Chartrand on her Bronze medal at the Rostelecom Cup in Moscow, Russia. Alaine won the short program and finished 3rd in the long to earn the Bronze medal overall with a new personal best score of 172 points. She achieved her goal for this event which was to improve on her score and standing from Skate Canada Int'l , just two weeks earlier in Kelowna BC, where she was 7th with 165 points. To earn a medal in her first season on the Grand Prix circuit is a huge accomplishment and a big breakthrough in her skating career. No Canadian woman has reached the podium at Cup of Russia since Joannie Rochette won bronze in 2007.
Join us this Wednesday November 19th at 6pm at the Leo Boivin Community Centre to congratulate Alaine!!

Realty Byte: Ryan Serhant Dishes On Jeremy Renner's $25M Holmby Hills Flip
Besides being a proud new papa, The Bourne Legacy action star is in the middle of a pending sale on his over-the-top $25 million Holmby Hills mansion.
The sprawling spread was originally a $7M investment and remodeled floor-to-ceiling. And after just six months on the market, it's nabbed the right (and super rich!) buyer.
The listing specifically advertised that the 1920s style Art Deco masterpiece would be perfect for a 21st century Howard Hughes. (Curious minds want to know who plunked down the millions, but one thing we do know... he or she definitely has to come with Hughes's serious deep pocket$.)
So if you're wondering what that kind of cold hard cash will get you -- two lush acres, over 10,000 square feet, 6 bedrooms, 11 baths, 5 fireplaces, pool, spa and theatre.
And the new owner can call neighbor Hugh Hefner at the Playboy Mansion for a cup of sugar.
Just let Million Dollar Listing New York's Ryan Serhant take you on a tour of Renner's pricey flip in the CB! video above.

Manchester Crimewatch: Woman accused of throwing steak knife at boyfriend
A police prosecutor said there is a 72-hour probation/parole hold on Shaw, who has several convictions including drug possession and stalking.
Lyons set bail at $3,000 cash/surety. A probable cause hearing on the felony was set for Oct. 30 and trial on the misdemeanor was set for Nov. 17.
Manchester Police officers who arrested Nathaniel Addo-Gyang, 33, of 26 Wellington Terrace Drive, Thursday on a New Hampshire State Police warrant for sale of a narcotic drug, reported Addo-Gyang was in possession of several prescription pills of acetaminophen and codeine.
Addo-Gyang was shot multiple times in a retaliation incident March 11, 2006, as he sat in a vehicle in an Amory Street parking lot. The two men convicted of shooting Addo-Gyang and a young man who was not involved in the dispute, are serving lengthy prison terms. Anthony White, who was partially paralyzed when hit by a bullet, died six years after the shooting at age 26.
Police said Amber Blackman, 22, of 274 Douglas St., tossed a syringe into the bushes when she saw Officer Scott Ardita approaching on patrol Thursday afternoon on Queen City Avenue, west of South Willow Street.
Police investigating a report of marijuana being grown in an apartment at 24 Donald St. said they found 15 suspected marijuana plants growing under lights in a dining room closet, marijuana seeds, about 116 grams of suspect marijuana, scales, currency and a loaded 12-gauge shotgun in the apartment of Adam Browning.
Sara Douglas, 31, of 372 Manchester St., pleaded innocent Friday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to misdemeanor charges of prostitution and contempt of court. The contempt charge was filed because Douglas was out on personal recognizance bail on an earlier prostitution charge that is scheduled for trial Nov. 6.
Police said Tori Loranger, 24, of 19 Ivywood Lane, provided the vehicle for her boyfriend to burglarize a Maynard Street residence and then sold a ring that she knew, or should have known, was stolen to Cash for Gold.
Bail was set at $3,000 cash/surety, with conditions barring her from the Maynard Street burglary site and from Cash for Gold.

To Have and To Hold
Lessons Learned
Categories: Documentation, Lessons Learned
In one of my previous posts, I suggested ways to maintain documentation. And as you know, documentation is very important -- it's the essence of knowledge transfer. The beauty of documentation is that it allows us to avoid the pains of reinventing a series of events that may only reside in a person's mind as a singular experience. It can also lead us to extract some aspect that may move our project from uncertainty and unknowns to more useful information.
So, once we have taken the precautions I mentioned in my previous post for generating clear and valid documentation, the question becomes: What project documentation should we always have and hold on to? I would suggest, at a minimum, the following:
The charter. It is the closest disclosure to everything the project should touch on. It includes a high-level look at the project: resource list, budget, timeline, assumptions, constraints, risks, other areas of impact and dependencies, a brief description and an immediate focus.
Budget background and expenditures. This information typically details the budget spending and directs you to possible future support, if any can be used again.
Sources. These include contacts and stakeholders; where information is stored; direct lines of contact; contacts who would be next in the succession; who and where to reach out to in case of additional needs; and where information stemmed from, and how it should be categorized and even prioritized.
A status report of risks and issues in their most recent form. These items show the progress that has or has not been made and is especially helpful in communicating to a new project manager (or yourself, if returning to a project) where to pick up. This status report can even help determine the project's resource needs.
Scope. This tells you what should have been the focus of the project. It also helps determine whether there needed to be an extension to this scope or if something different should be embarked upon, such as a total new project or maybe a revamping of the current scope.
Are there any types of documentation you find significant to have during a project and to hold on to after a project closes?
From Lab to Hospital, More Lessons Learned
Lessons Learned,
Categories: Lessons Learned, Stakeholder
In my last post, I discussed my experience at the lab and insurance desk at a hospital. Now I'd like to share the remainder of the story and my analysis on the lessons learned from the hospital stay.
A nurse on my first evening in the hospital asked me to sign some papers. As I read the papers, there was a note that said I should not sign if the paperwork was not explained to my satisfaction. I looked at the nurse and said, "No one has explained anything to me. How can I sign?" The nurse looked at me and asked me to hold on for a moment. After some time, a doctor came, explained the process and situations that could arise during the operation. I asked some more questions that he answered, and I signed the papers.
Thursday morning, the operation was completed successfully, with follow-up visits by the doctor and nurse. On Friday, the process continued. A group of three senior staffers came in the room, introducing themselves as administrators, and asked if the air conditioning, food and other services were okay. In the evening, the doctor visited again and told me all was well and he would discharge me the following day. He said he would start the process in the morning and requested my patience as the billing and insurance-approval process might take many hours, even perhaps the whole day.
On Saturday morning, the administration staff visited again and asked if all was well. At noon, the staff took my signature on the bill and asked me to wait for approval. I sat around and inquired about the approval few times, but no luck. I finally got approval by 7 p.m. -- but by that point I had had dinner at the hospital and afterward moved to my house.
My experience at the lab and at the hospital were quite opposite. At the lab, the work at hand was minor, but it escalated. However, at the hospital the work at hand was greater and there were more opportunities for issues to arise, yet all went well. I think it was the hospital's well-defined process and disciplined execution that allowed for a smooth experience.
Takeaway 1: Words Have No Meaning, Only Action Works
At the lab, the manager was trying to defuse a situation by promising and explaining, but actions were missing, and therefore the matter became heated. At the hospital, when I was asked to sign papers without explanation, I raised the concern -- and the nurse and doctor both handled it well by doing what was expected without uttering a single word to the contrary.
Takeaway 2: Keep the Ego Under Control
The manager at the lab appeared to possess a big ego. First, he did not accept the problem; moreover, he defended his and his team's actions. Second, as he was also a doctor, he could have collected the blood himself but chose not to, perhaps because it wasn't in his job description. He missed the opportunity to win over customers and set an example for his staff.
Takeaway 3: Set Expectations
If the hospital staff had not set expectations that it would take two hours for approval on the estimated cost and a whole day for approval on the final bill, I would have waited impatiently and probably fought with the staff over the delays. But setting expectations in advance helped them control customer reactions and achieve satisfaction.
Takeaway 4: Have a Process, Maintain Discipline and Re-evaluate
The most interesting thing I found is that the administration staff visited my room twice and personally asked if all was going well. They were monitoring that discipline was being maintained and if anything in the process needed to be fixed. I think this was critical in ensuring foolproof processes and disciplined staff.
What's the top customer service lesson you've learned from an unlikely source?
Customer Service Lessons -- From a Hospital?
Lessons Learned,
Categories: Lessons Learned, Stakeholder
Recently, my doctor advised me to go in for a minor surgery, so I had the opportunity to visit a clinical lab and stay at the hospital for three days -- an unlikely place to learn some customer service lessons.
Before the surgery, I had to undergo blood tests. There was only one attendant at the blood collection center and a long queue. A woman at the back began complaining about the queue until a nurse came out, took that woman to a room and drew her blood sample. This upset others in line and led to more complaining. The manager came out from his office and asked people to calm down. But after time passed with the queue remaining as long and the manager offering another assurance, people became agitated again. This time, the manager told some people they were unnecessarily raising their voices while he was trying his best. This continued until another staff member (possibly late to his shift) came in.
This experience made me think: Do mere assurances work all the time? Don't we need to apologize for unfair treatment and take action to correct the wrongdoing? Perhaps our egos do not allow us to do all this. So what does it take to control our ego?
After finally getting my test, I scheduled the surgery. The hospital suggested I come in beforehand to complete the formalities of cost estimation and approval from my insurance (a procedure in India for cashless treatment at a hospital).
When I arrived at the hospital's insurance counter, the attendant in charge took me to a room, asked me to fill out a form and told me that a few people are involved in the process, so it might take up to two hours. I filled out the form in a couple of minutes and waited for 30 minutes for a doctor to appear. He asked me a couple of questions, filled out the remaining form and gave it to the attendant. She asked me to wait for another half hour while she conducted some office formalities. Half an hour passed and I became restless. I approached the woman, and she promptly explained, "I said it would take around two hours. Hold on for some more time." After half an hour, she appeared, took my signature on a form and asked me to leave.
My experience at the insurance desk taught me a simple lesson. If I don't set expectations (as the attendant did), a customer is free to expect anything based on his or her own experience. For better customer service and satisfaction, it is important to set expectations at the beginning and then exceed those expectations.
In my next post, I'll discuss the lessons I learned from my hospital stay, and how those could be applied to project management. What customer service lessons have you learned when you least expected it, and how have you applied them in your projects?
Getting Out of Trouble
Project trouble can hit from a blind spot, even though you tried as much as possible to prepare for issues. You did a risk analysis when you took the project on, and even tried to be ready to mitigate unknown issues.
As I advised in my previous post, do an assessment to determine the problem. Figure out what needs to be fixed, or if the situation is even fixable. If the project seems to have reached a point of no return, here are some tips on how to pull it out of trouble:
Finally, keep in mind that not all trouble devours all. Before panicking, calmly look to areas that will guide you to a solution. You may even find your project is more sound than it seems.
How do you confront trouble on your project?
First Steps Toward Recovery
Lessons Learned
Categories: Lessons Learned
In my previous post, I discussed points to help prevent problem projects. Here, I'll talk about what to do when you realize an existing project is headed for trouble.
Let me try to explain it like this: If you are driving a vehicle, what happens when you see a red light? You know that when you come to it, you will stop. After the light turns green, you will look both ways before proceeding. When our projects hit red lights, we as project managers must also stop and assess our environment.
As you look at the big picture, review your inputs, factors and the overall sanity of the project. Examine your risk register or issues log. Is the status of risks or issues showing something that was missed and needs to be addressed immediately? For example, something easily overlooked is when the schedule for applying security patches is on the same timeframe as the testing phase. This sort of impact can cause testing to grind to a halt, with the team unaware of the source of conflict. A review of the risks or issues log would have highlighted these events.
Another source to review is your budget plan. Have unplanned circumstances arisen, such as the need to produce more prototypes? Does the acquisition of resources require additional time? Is equipment becoming obsolete or in need of repair? Expenses such as these caution you to slow down and reevaluate your budget. Be aware that ultimately, you may need to secure a renewed budget approval.
Consider client relationships as well. Are your clients becoming unsatisfied and impatient, regardless of how well you're completing deliverables and meeting milestones? If so, you may need to allay fears or even compromise on a feature of your project. Perhaps that means reconfirming a budget forecast, or something as simple as picking up the phone and calling the client with an impromptu status report.
One last piece of advice: Take a look at lessons learned. It's very likely a previous project manager may have outlined specific pain points on similar problem projects. These will provide valuable insights that even the most technically experienced project manager can lean on. They're good for figuring out what to do in grey-area situations: when it was difficult to get management signoff on a needed budget increase; how a concern was handled when a client change request was denied; or how to garner support when team conflicts arose.
After you recognize there's trouble ahead, how else do you assess the size of the problem?

"With the number of salmonella illnesses linked to Foster Farms chicken climbing to more than 600 cases this month, two members of Congress introduced legislation Wednesday that would require food recalls in such circumstances."
"Does this seem fair? A plant breeder at a public university manages to grow a long-necked broccoli that, for easy cutting, stands tall above its leaves. Then a company that has used his creation to breed a slightly different broccoli submits it for a patent, claiming ownership over the very idea of long-necked broccoli."
"Fresh fruits and vegetable prices will go up an estimated 6% in the coming months, the federal government said Wednesday, as California's ongoing drought continues to hit price tags in grocery stores across the country."
"U.S. EPA's nine-year effort to document air pollution at livestock operations is likely still many years from completion and unlikely to be as useful as industry and environmental groups had hoped."
"Food companies have spent billions of dollars to cover up the link between sugar consumption and health problems. That's the conclusion of a new report from the Center for Science and Democracy at the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS)."
"The first of a new generation of genetically modified crops is poised to win government approval in the United States, igniting a controversy that may continue for years, and foreshadowing the future of genetically modified crops."
"Neonicotinoid pesticides are causing significant damage to a wide range of beneficial species and are a key factor in the decline of bees, say scientists."
"Babies whose moms lived within a mile of crops treated with widely used pesticides were more likely to develop autism, according to new research published today."
"Florida taxpayers have been left shouldering most of the $2 billion Everglades water pollution cleanup cost, despite a constitutional amendment passed by nearly 70 percent of voters that calls for the sugar industry to pick up its share of the tab."

John Stossel: It's the spending, stupid
Listening to progressive media pundits, I'd think the most evil man in the universe is Grover Norquist, head of Americans for Tax Reform. His crime? He heads a movement that asks political candidates to pledge not to raise taxes.
I think Grover accomplished a lot. But I wish he'd convinced politicians to pledge not to increase spending.
President Obama says raising taxes to cut the deficit is a "balanced" approach.
Balanced ...
But what's "balanced" about raising taxes after vast increases in spending? Trillions for war, Medicare, "stimulus" and solar panels. Tax receipts rose - after tax-rate cuts - from $1.9 billion in 2003 to $2.3 billion in 2008, the year the recession started. That increase couldn't keep up with the spending. The deficit doubled - actually, more than doubled - as politicians increased spending to nearly $4 trillion! Our debt, at more than $16 trillion, now exceeds our gross domestic product.
Ludicrous, irresponsible spending is why we're in trouble. As columnist Ron Hart points out, Bill Clinton's balanced budget spent $1.7 trillion. "Adjusted for inflation," he writes, "our federal government would (have) a $200 billion surplus. But instead of increasing government spending in line with normal inflation, under Bush and Obama we are spending $3.8 trillion today. Democrats, who believe we have a 'revenue' problem instead of a 'spending' problem, must also think they have a bartender problem, not a drinking problem."
The media obsess about tax rates, but spending is more important. As Milton Friedman taught us, spending is a far more accurate gauge of the government burden. If government spends a dollar, that dollar is taxed away from someone. If it's borrowed, it's removed from productive use, setting the stage for higher taxes later. If the government prints more dollars to fund spending, our purchasing power falls. Transferring purchasing power from the people to the government via inflation is a form of taxation.
If Republicans and Democrats reach a deal, the tax increases will be real - but spending "cuts" probably illusions. If they actually happen, they will only be reductions in already planned increases. The Wall Street Journal notes that when the two parties talk about cutting spending by $4 trillion over a decade, "those numbers have no real meaning because they are conjured in the wilderness of mirrors that is the federal budget process. Since 1974, Capitol Hill's 'baseline' has automatically increased spending every year according to Congressional Budget Office projections ... . Tax and spending changes are then measured off that inflated baseline."
Given our growing debt, can't they even slow the growth of government to the rate of inflation? Or inflation plus 1 percent? Or even inflation plus 2 percent? That might balance the budget within a decade.
But the spenders won't even give me that. They want more. Always more.
Jonathan Bydlak, founder of the Coalition to Reduce Spending, has a good idea. "It's important to do for spending what Norquist has done for taxes: create a means for voters to hold elected officials accountable when they break campaign promises of fiscal responsibility."
Bydlak has no time for any politician who pledges not to raise taxes without pledging to cut spending. He praises Doug Collins, representative-elect from Georgia, and Ted Cruz, senator-elect from Texas, for signing the Reject the Debt pledge and thereby promising voters they would:
"ONE, not vote for any budget that is not balanced nor for any appropriations bill that increases total spending;
"and TWO, consider all spending open for reduction, and not vote to authorize or fund new programs without offsetting cuts in other programs."
Well, sure. Good luck to him.
But people are reluctant to give up their favorite programs. Or any programs.
Let's not fool ourselves about how dependent politicians have made people on government.
To succeed, the crusade to cut spending needs an ideological understanding of how unsustainable our current course is, not just a narrow appeal to short-term self-interest. People will have to see the wisdom of giving up government benefits now - in exchange for something more abstract: a future free society in which our children won't be burdened by debt and taxes.
John Stossel is host of "Stossel" on the Fox Business Network. He's the author of "No They Can't: Why Government Fails, but Individuals Succeed."

The image we outdoor-writer types often have of ourselves is that of an old, grizzled sage. Well, at least for some. As for me, I know only too well that I am a stumbling, fumbling, half-crippled old flatulent that is forgetful, ornery, opinionated and bucolic. Let me give you an example:
As mentioned previously, and particularly where trophy-class animals are required, antelope hunts are generally of short duration. But, with a full day to spare, Henderson, myself and a couple other hunters decided to visit local attractions, including gun shops. On the way into Gillette to drop of the antelope meat, we stopped by T&T Guns & Ammo and perused the inventory. The business, which has been family-owned for 59 years, has an excellent assortment of new and used firearms, ammunition and accessories. It's nice to see these smaller businesses succeed.

The fact that Kevin Sorbo portrayed the heavily muscled demigod Hercules from 1994 to 1999 on the WB's hit Hercules: The Legendary Journeys might have led fans to assume that he was in the prime of his health. But the 53-year-old actor reveals in his new book True Strength: My Journey from Hercules to Mere Mortal and How Nearly Dying Saved My Life that he actually suffered from an aneurysm and three strokes during that time.
As Sorbo tells Neurology Now, he began experiencing troubling symptoms, such as intermittent pain, aching, tingling and cold sensations in his left arm and hand, while working out to achieve his Herculean physique for the TV series back in the summer of 1997.
Despite frequent trips to the doctor and continued symptoms, Sorbo, who was then 38, was told that what he was experiencing was benign and would pass. Things took a turn for the worse, however, when he suffered a searing pain shooting down his left shoulder during one workout. Sorbo went to his chiropractor, who cracked his neck (something the actor had never done before) in an attempt to alleviate some of the tension.
As a result, Sorbo experienced blurry vision, dizziness and buzzing in his head. Actress Sam Jenkins, who was his Sorbo's fiancée at the time and is now his wife, quickly took Sorbo to the hospital, which is where he learned that he'd had an aneurysm in an artery near his shoulder and had suffered several strokes as a result.
"Apparently, the aneurysm had been producing blood clots for some time. I had blockages all down my arm that were making my fingers cold, tingly, and numb," Sorbo tells Neurology Now. "I began to wonder whether having my neck cracked had somehow exacerbated my condition."
His doctors described him as something of a medical anomaly, and still aren't sure about the precise cause of his strokes.
"I was told clots don't typically travel 'upstream' -- in reverse to the brain -- so my doctors were unsure whether the aneurysm was related to the strokes," he says.
According to Sorbo's doctors, someone of his age and physical health had about a 1-in-75-million chance of experiencing both an aneurysm and strokes. And the road to recovery wasn't an easy one.
"I felt like I had been transformed overnight from a youthful, carefree jock into someone who needed to grasp the backs of chairs and counters for an arduous five-yard trip to the bathroom," Sorbo recalls. "I went through two years of hell before I began to feel like myself again. I was depressed and frustrated and had a bad attitude."

Religious Groups Criticize Houston VA for Respecting Families' Wishes
The Houston Chronicle reports that some Christian groups have filed suit against the constitutional policies of the VA cemetery administration. The nation remembers Richard Tillman, who jumped on stage to stand up for his brother Pat Tillman's wishes. The Veterans Affairs Cemetery Administration protects the family when it restricts the religious speech of volunteers, and volunteers can opt out of funerals where the family has not requested a religious service consistent with the religious interests of the volunteer.

This reference comes at a time when sovereignty has been steadily running out of steam; it will be a test of the recent resilience of federalism in Quebec.
It does not mean Conservative strategists will be burning the midnight oil to engineer their own defeat, but it does mean Stephen Harper has no cause to bend over backward to avoid an election
Unless the Grits' intellectual vacuum is addressed, the Liberal machine in Quebec will continue to rattle on empty.
It is virtually impossible for an opposition leader to dispose of caucus deadwood. Given that, finding attractive ridings for star candidates amounts to looking for a needle in a Quebec haystack.
But since the Liberal leader has gone on the election warpath, he and his strategists have largely recreated the dynamics that led to their party's demise last year.
On the plus side, though, Brian Mulroney, Jean Chrétien and Stephen Harper all came from behind to win. And the Liberals are hardly the only ones for whom a potential fall campaign amounts to a big leap in the dark.
The Liberals are also convinced the longer they keep the government going, the more they are enabling Harper to mature in power.
'In the wake of a convention where talk of moving the NDP into power dominated the proceedings, less substance than ever stands in the way of a post-election flirt between the Liberals and the New Democrats.'
To this day, the Bloc Québécois has regularly thrived on the miscalculations of its opponents.
The day will likely soon come when the Liberals decide that a risky leap into an election is preferable to the misery of continuing to extend the Conservatives a lifeline. But that day is unlikely to spell the end of the need for creative arrangements bet
With an eye to the next election, neither of the two national opposition parties is eager to get on the wrong side of an Ontario-driven bailout.
If anything, the issue stands to backfire on the Liberals in Quebec.
Putting satisfactorily to rest the suspicions that gave rise to a public inquiry into his dealings with the German Canadian lobbyist was always going to be a quasi-impossible mission.
It may be that if the Prime Minister had seen action first-hand on the unity front, he would be more wary of salting the federalist earth in Quebec for his own electoral purposes.
The new Liberal tack on EI is just one of many ways in which the perfect economic storm that has overtaken Canada's former richest province is also changing the national discourse.
A leadership campaign would certainly give the NDP the much-needed pre-election exposure it has so desperately come to crave since Michael Ignatieff has become Liberal leader.
Almost every past Prime Minister has hurt his party by overstaying his welcome, but, as he considers his diminishing options, Harper is faced with the opposite predicament.
If the past is any indication, the cultural community should take advantage of this moment in the Commons sun.
The door to a Conservative election campaign fought on Quebec's back has been left open.
There was a time, when GM and Chrysler enjoyed immense sway on the Hill, holding a virtual veto on policies such as the way Canada addresses greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.
At 9:52 a.m., the first calls came in of shots fired at the National War Memorial. Five people tried to save Cpl. Nathan Cirillo's life who was standing guard at the National War Memorial. He later died of gunshot wounds.
The people who tried save Cpl. Nathan Cirillo's life were later identified as Margaret Lerhe, a nurse on her way to work at the Elizabeth Bruyere Hospital; another corporal, a soldier, National Defence employee and former Naval officer Martin Magnan; and lawyer Barbara Winters who told Cpl. Cirillo that his family loved him while he lay dying.

Continuing with National Marmalade Week posts, Great British Chefs guest blogger, Essex Eating, shares his beautiful recipe for a winter salad of blood oranges, ewe's curd and marmalade croutons.
Photography by Essex Eating
In celebration of National Marmalade Week, here's a simple, fresh citrusy winter salad recipe featuring the orange preserve. I've served it a few times at The Montpelier Basement, the Bristol based supper club I run with my partner, and it's gone down really well. As well as marmalade, the recipe also features Homewood ewe's curd, a superb, soft creamy cheese with a hint of sharpness.
It's a local South West ingredient that featured on the Pony & Trap tasting menu when I ate there recently. If you're unable to lay your hands on ewe's curd, I reckon this recipe would also work well with a fresh young goats cheese such as Dorstone, or failing that, use Feta which you'll be able to find easily.
Blood Oranges are available right now in the UK, and give a nice tangy bite to the dish.
Ewe's Curd & Blood Orange Salad with Marmalade Croutons and Dressing
Serves 4
You'll Need:-
2 x Little Gem Lettuce – leaves washed, dried and roughly broken up
1x Blood Orange – peeled, trimmed of pith and thinly sliced across.
2x slices of stale white bread - crusts removed and cut into 1cm cubes for croutons
150g Homewood Ewe's Curd (or alternatives as above)
2-3 tbsp marmalade
4 tbs olive oil
1 tbs sherry vinegar
Salt & pepper
2 tsp pumpkin seeds – lightly toasted
To Assemble:-
Arrange the little gem lettuce in a large serving bowl.
Scatter the lettuce with blood orange slices, toasted pumpkin seeds and then crumble over the Fresh Ewe's Curd.
Make the marmalade croutons by melting a large knob of butter in a frying pan, when foaming add the bread cubes. Toss in the melted butter and fry until crisp and golden. Add a heaped tablespoon of marmalade to the pan, and coat the croutons as it melts. Remove from the heat and allow to cool briefly to firm up before sprinkling the croutons over the salad.
To make the dressing, pour the olive oil into the same frying pan, with the sherry vinegar, and a heaped tablespoon of the marmalade. Cook over a fairly high heat until the marmalade has melted and then drizzle the warm dressing over the finished salad. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

AFC West: Alan Faneca
AFC West mailbag
Tom from Kansas City wants to know what I think of Scott Pioli's draft in Kansas City.
Bill Williamson: I think Pioli did a solid job in his second year as the Chiefs' general manager and top draft decision-maker. He played the board pretty straight and didn't make too many wild decisions. He took four players from the SEC, which has been his history. I think the Chiefs got faster at key spots, and they continued to improve this offseason during the draft.
Ben from Columbia wants to know what I think of the Broncos signing Akin Ayodele, a veteran from Miami.
BW: I think it was a decent pickup, Denver jumped on him late during the final rounds of the draft Saturday. The Broncos didn't draft an inside linebacker. Ayodele was the team's top remaining veteran choice. He will compete with Mario Haggan for a starting inside linebacker job. Haggan has moved from the outside. At the very least, Ayodele will be a solid situational player.
AFC West draft odds and ends
Oakland coach Tom Cable is not ready to make Jason Campbell the starting quarterback yet. He does expect JaMarcus Russell to be at the team's minicamp next week.
The Broncos are bringing in former Miami linebacker Akin Ayodele for a physical Sunday and will sign him barring any issues. He will provide depth at inside linebacker. Denver did not draft a front-seven defender. Coach Josh McDaniels said Denver has moved Mario Haggan from outside to inside linebacker.
McDaniels said the team will not add any veteran receivers. The team drafted receivers Demaryius Thomas in the first round and Eric Decker in the third round.
The only team in the division I see making a run at guard Alan Faneca is Oakland, but I'd say that is a long shot at best.
Defensive tackle Gerard Warren, cut by Oakland this offseason, has signed with New England.
Denver sent a fifth-round pick next year to Tampa Bay for two seventh-round picks this year.
All-decade offense: Brady leads packed roster
|ESPN.com Illustration
|Pro Bowlers, Super Bowl winners and league MVPs headline our all-decade offense.
Posted by ESPN.com's Bill Williamson
To fully appreciate the star power of ESPN.com's all-decade offensive team, consider who did not make the cut: Peyton Manning. Randy Moss. Orlando Pace. Terrell Owens. Will Shields. Antonio Gates. Larry Allen.
They are Hall of Fame names and they didn't make the cut. The decade has been that good.
With training camps beginning next month for the final year of the decade, we thought we had sufficient evidence to determine our all-decade teams. ESPN.com tapped into the knowledge of coaches, players, scouts and other league observers to compile the squad. Criteria included statistics, impact on the player's team, Super Bowl wins/appearances and Pro Bowl berths.
It was inevitable that several superstars would be left off. Here are the 11 players who made it:
But Brady's successes could not be denied.
Since replacing an injured Drew Bledsoe in 2001, Brady has been the face of the NFL and has nearly attained royalty status. He is a living legend.
Brady is the consummate winner. Manning may be more gifted and have more impressive numbers, but Brady has won three Super Bowls and is widely considered one of the most cunning players ever to suit up.
"You're talking about a guy that was a sixth-round draft pick," said former Jets and Chiefs coach Herm Edwards, now an ESPN analyst. "He wasn't a first-round pick. I love Manning. I think he's great for the league, an ambassador for the league, but he was the first player picked. Either one would be great, but [Brady] has won Super Bowls and was a sixth-round pick. Nobody really knew who he was."
eague this decade. Tomlinson, 30, may be nearing the finish line, but he was immediately a special player after entering the league in 2001.
Tomlinson won the NFL MVP award in 2006 when he set an NFL record with 28 rushing touchdowns and gained 2,323 yards from scrimmage. He has amassed at least 1,110 rushing yards in each of his eight seasons.
"I think my consistency, that means more than anything." Tomlinson said when asked what he is most proud of about his career to date. "As an athlete, you set out to be consistent over a period of time. When you're consistent, your teammates and coaches know what they're going to get from you each and every week."
Neal was Tomlinson's lead blocker for five years in San Diego. The Chargers clearly missed him last year after releasing him. In Baltimore, Neal gave the Ravens' run game an instant boost.
"Neal is a sixth offensive lineman," Seahawks coach Jim L. Mora said. "He relishes that job. He can't wait to go out and block you."
We couldn't go wrong with any of these choices, but Harrison and Holt were just too good to deny. Each made seven Pro Bowl teams (which was a league high this decade for receivers). Harrison won a Super Bowl ring this decade and Holt, who won a Super Bowl in the early days of 2000 after the 1999 season, played in a Super Bowl this decade.
Over six consecutive seasons (2000-05), Holt had at least 1,300 receiving yards. Harrison, who is not in the league right now after being cut by the Indianapolis Colts, had 95 touchdowns this decade.
"You cannot just look at the stats and get carried away with that stuff," ESPN analyst Keyshawn Johnson said. "I look at that list of names, and Holt and Harrison have to be at the top. Both of them won Super Bowls -- and they weren't in there getting cheap touchdowns like some guys. Too many guys in the media just look at those numbers. You can't put an all-decade team on the field without Holt and Harrison."
Gonzalez, who was traded from Kansas City to Atlanta in April, is still playing at a high level at age 33.
He has been to nine Pro Bowls this decade and has four 1,000-yard receiving seasons in his career.
"Tony has been dominant for such a long period of time," Arizona Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "He's just the best."
Both players were named to eight Pro Bowls this decade and Jones is still playing at a high level. Ogden won a Super Bowl and Jones played in a Super Bowl this decade. Former Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren has said Jones was the greatest offensive player he ever coached. Holmgren coached Brett Favre and he was an assistant on San Francisco 49ers staffs that featured Joe Montana, Jerry Rice and Steve Young. Pace was great, but he couldn't quite match what Jones and Ogden accomplished this decade.
"It's a great honor," Jones said. "You look back at your career, and you come in, just hoping not to get cut as a rookie. But I've listened to my coaches and still try to get better every year."
In the end, it was too difficult to deny those two players. Faneca, who is now with the New York Jets, has made eight Pro Bowls this decade and won a Super Bowl with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hutchinson, now with the Minnesota Vikings, has been named to seven Pro Bowls and he went to a Super Bowl with the Seahawks.
"Those guys set the tone," Atlanta Falcons coach Mike Smith said of Faneca and Hutchinson.
Added Jones, who played with Hutchinson in Seattle for five years: "There has been great guard play, but I have to say Hutchinson wins a spot. He has been dominant for two teams. He was a great guy to play with."
Center, Olin Kreutz: This was a three-way toss-up between Kreutz, Kevin Mawae and Matt Birk. All three players have been to six Pro Bowls.
The tiebreakers: Kreutz appeared in a Super Bowl with the Chicago Bears and more league personnel named him than Mawae or Birk.
"You look at a guy like Kreutz and you really appreciate his consistency," San Diego Chargers general manager A.J. Smith said. "He is an all-decade-type player."
Tim Hasselbeck and Michael Smith break down the all-decade offense.
