MORE CHILE PEPPER PHOTOS

If you want to see more chile pepper photos, go to my gallery at Buzznet. I will start the new year with tasting a Hot Tepin fruit. The experts are discussing if this is the hottest chile pepper in the world.

KAROLINA VUCIDOLAC AND FUSION JAZZ RESTAURANT

I have enjoyed listening to Karolina Vucidolac's album, Brasil. Now it was time to go to the Horticultural Gardens in Gothenburg and see her playing live. It was a great performance. I hope she will play at the Fusion Jazz Restaurant in the near future.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

I recently finished my studies in project management (international project coordinator). I am interested in international job opportunities in the field of project and supply chain management. Here is an excerpt from the article, Overdue and over budget, over and over again.

Some companies have gone so far as to become more like project co-ordinators than producers of goods or services. The "business-as-usual" bits of their operations have been outsourced, leaving them free to design and orchestrate new ideas. Nike, for instance, does not make shoes any more; it manages footwear projects. Coca-Cola, which hands most of the bottling and marketing of its drinks to others, is little more than a collection of projects, run by people it calls "orchestrators". Germany's BMW treats each new car "platform", which is the basis of new vehicle ranges, as a separate project. Meanwhile Capital One, a fast-growing American financial-services group, has a special team to handle its M&A "projects". For all these firms, project management has become an important competitive tool. Some of them call it a core competence. (Economist.com, 06/09/05.)

WINE TIPS BY JOHN CLEESE

In an earlier post I mentioned John Cleese's wine program, Wine for the Confused. I got a chance to watch the program the other day. I enjoyed it very much. John Cleese was in a jolly good mood and he invited his friends to test wines in different ways:

• Describe the wines with a few words.
• Blind taste, deciding if it was red or white wine.
• Putting a price tag, $5 - 200.

He went to different vineyards and tested wine from six different grapes:

1. Riesling
2. Sauvignon Blanc
3. Chardonnay
4. Pinot Noir
5. Merlot
6. Cabernet Sauvignon

Have you been to the following places in California?

• Lucky's in Montecito.
• Los Olivos Grocery in Santa Ynez.
• Byron Winery in Santa Maria.
• Gainey Vineyard in Santa Ynez.
• Vogelzang Vineyard in Santa Ynez.
• Foxen Vineyard in Santa Maria.

To end this post with a twist, read a story on how a small Scottish hotel and the holy grape saved John Cleese's life.

NEW MUSIC ADDED TO MY WISH LIST

After reading this review of Chiara Civello's album, Last quarter moon, I added it to my wish list at Amazon. Have you heard about Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band? I heard about this band from Robert Tracinski's TIA Daily.

Here is a good sign for the culture: a small but growing trend among young people is an interest in Big Band music--which is an esthetic universe away from the unmusical shouting of "rap" thugs. Could this be the beginning of a cultural trend away from the nihilistic "grunge" and violent "hip-hop" trends of the past few decades? (TIADaily.com, Big Band Is Back?, 03/10/05.)

Read Mireya Navarro's article, The Definition of 'Phat': Big Band With Young Fans. I have added their album, Property Of Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band XXL to my wish list.

ASSEMBLY OF THE WONDROUS HEAD

Today I added a new music album to my media list.

WINE-PENTAGON.COM

I went to a great wine tasting on January 21. I tested eight different wines (White Pepper 2003, Újra Együtt Kékfrankos 2003, Kékfrankos Barique 2002, Zweigelt 2003, Merlot 2002, Cabernet Sauvignon 2002, Shiraz 2002, and Pentagon 2002) by Pfneiszl - United Vineyards.
