Overdoing listening
- May spend too much time listening
- May avoid necessary action
- Others may confuse listening with agreement
Essential questions
To improve your proficiency, ask yourself the following questions on a regular basis:
- Can I accurately restate what I just heard someone say without editorializing?
- When I listen to someone, am I thinking about what I am going to say when he or she is finished?
- Do I allow others to speak without interrupting them or finishing their sentences?
- Did I drum my fingers or pencil, fidget, or stare while listening to someone today?
- When getting negative personal feedback, do I listen without getting defensive?
- Has anyone thanked me and told me I am I good listener lately?
To avoid overdoing listening, ask yourself:
- Am I trying too hard to appear attentive?
- Am I conveying agreement rather than just listening?
- Am I avoiding taking action?
Interview questions
- Listening involves hearing the speaker and understanding the speaker's point of view. Describe how you do this.
- Effective listening includes patiently hearing people out and absorbing the speaker's message before responding. Describe a time when you were able to do this despite it being difficult to do so.
- One of the most difficult aspects of effective listening is to accurately restate the opinions of others even when you disagree with the speaker. Share a time when you effectively did this.
- Listening Interview Worksheet (37 KB Microsoft Word document)
Learning on the job
- Show that you are listening with your behavior: Keep your mouth closed, make eye contact, take notes, and refrain from fidgeting. Paraphrase what was just said to the speaker's satisfaction.
- Restrain yourself from interrupting: Wait until the speaker is finished before commenting. Allow people to finish their own sentences.
- Ask questions: Good listeners ask probing and clarifying questions to get a good understanding of what they hear.
- Listen equally to everyone: Practice listening to those you don't usually listen to, and listen for content.
- Listen to those who waste a lot of time, but try to help them: You may need to interrupt someone who rambles and try to help that person communicate in a better way. Summarize what he or she has said; help him or her categorize to stop rambling; tactfully tell this person to be shorter next time.
- Listen under duress: If you are being verbally attacked or criticized, keep calm. Consider your task to accurately understand what is being said, not to accept or refute. Try to absorb the energy of your opponent to manage him or her. Ask clarifying questions without hitting back. Allow others to talk until they run out of venom.
- Work on your listening non-verbals: Work at eliminating the non-verbal signals that indicate you are not listening (furrowed brow, blank stare, body agitation, finger or pencil drumming). Ask others who know you well what your non-verbals may be.
- Listen to people you don't like: Look for the good in everyone, and try to see the positive things others may see in them. Give them a second chance.
- Listen to people you like: It may be necessary to tactfully interrupt someone to keep a discussion focused. Listen to problems completely without offering advice. Ask chronic complainers to write down their problems and solutions. If someone is complaining about others, suggest he or she talks to them instead, without agreeing or disagreeing.
- Find and spend time with an expert to learn something new to you.
- Go to a campus as a recruiter.
- Go on a trip to a foreign country you've never been to before.
- Interview outsiders on their view of your organization, and present your findings to others in your organization.
- Become someone's assigned mentor, coach, sponsor, or champion.
- Make peace with an enemy or someone you've disappointed, had trouble with, or don't get along with.
- Learning to learn better:
- Consult with an expert in an area of concern to you. Describe your situation, and receptively listen to this person's advice and counsel. Try the advice before you reject it.
- Interview a model of what you need to learn. Observe this person performing successfully, and ask him or her how he or she became good at it. Ask this person how he or she assesses situations to determine when and how to use his or her skills.
- Form a learning network with others working on the same problem. Look for a variety of people inside and outside your organization. Give feedback to each other; try new things together; share successes and failures, lessons, and learning.
- Debrief others after a successful or non-successful event. Ask them about the decisions they made and what they might do differently.
- Learning from experience, feedback, and other people:
- Be a student of others. Study the behavior of other people. Determine what behaviors are effective and ineffective, and incorporate what you can in your own behavior.
- Learn from ineffective behavior. Distance yourself from your feelings, and explore why the ineffective behavior didn't work.
- Learn from remote models. Read a book or an article about someone, and observe what he or she does or doesn't do well.
- Get feedback from your direct reports. Set a positive tone, and don't retaliate if you don't agree.
- Learn from limited staff. Look for ways to bring out the best in others who may lack skills or experience. Motivate by being a positive force, even in negative situations, and by giving feedback. Recognize when to stop trying something and start over.
- Learning from courses:
- Participate in insight events. Take a course designed to assess skills and provide feedback to help you develop self-knowledge

But you're not!
Patanjali's Yoga Sutras are super clear on this one. When the mind is still and quiet, ie, in a state of YOGA, then we have the capacity to see ourselves for all our luminous wholeness. But, say the sutras (specifically 1.4), most of the time, we misidentify with the stream of thoughts passing through the mind.
Referencing the post from a couple of weeks ago, we think we are the glitter shaking in the snow globe, when really we're the unicorn in the center. And it's not that there's anything wrong with glitter, aka your thoughts, it's just that that's not who you are. But it's hard to tell when the glitter is just everywhere, and you know it's always everywhere. Glitter, like your mind, is hard to control.
A more traditional metaphor is this: You are the ocean. Waves happen on the surface of the ocean. They roll and roil, splash and crash, but ultimately, they settle back into the broad expanse of ocean. They are part of the ocean. But they are not the ocean. In the same way, when thoughts and feelings arise, we often get confused and think we are those thoughts. We think, I AM sad, I AM angry, I AM blissful, I AM anxious, when we really only FEEL sad, angry, blissful, anxious.
And this misidentification makes us suffer. The waves of our thoughts toss us around and we go under, flailing. Eventually we emerge, sputtering and breathless. But we're really much more vast and spacious than any one particular wave. The waves settle, and we can see clearly again.
So this then, is why we practice, to find moments in which the waves subside, or in which we can dive beneath them, to be held in that vast, calm, spaciousness that underpins our existence.
Much love,

On Mother's Day in 1961, the Klan attacked 13 Freedom Riders by firebombing their Greyhound bus outside of Anniston, Alabama. We close our first season by talking with Anniston Mayor, Vaughn Stewart, and Vice Mayor, Seyram Selase, about the Anniston Freedom Rider's Memorial currently up for National Monument status. Stewart and Selase retell the story of the Freedom Riders and the bus burning and describe why recognizing this important landmark is significant for Anniston, the state of Alabama, and the nation.
The current request for National Monument status includes two sites: a former Greyhound bus station built in 1952, and the bus-burning site, which is located four miles outside of the Anniston, on what used to be US Highway 78. The bus station advertised separate facilities—waiting rooms, restrooms, and lunch counters—for black and white customers. It ceased to operate in 1967, when a more modern station was built at another location. Currently, it's home to a vintage sign company, but the city has a sales contract to buy the building back from its current owners.
While the bus depot is remarkably unchanged, the second location where the bus was bombed has been reconfigured. Some of the houses remain, but the Forsyth Grocery store where the bus pulled over is no longer there, and that portion of Highway 78 has been closed. Anniston officials are hoping to create a five-acre permanent memorial at the site.
Selase describes their project as an important way to preserve the overall story of the Anniston Civil Rights Trails, and to protect a sense of place. On the day before our interview, officials from the National Park Service and the Department of the Interior toured the two sites, listened to the stories of those who remembered the event: Hank Thomas, one of the Freedom Riders on the bus in Anniston; Mr. Emerson, a local resident who was on his porch that day and saw the attack, and Janie Forsyth McKinney, a young child who brought water to the wounded Riders. Stewart emphasizes that as the Freedom Rider generation is passing away, no one is going to have a memory of what happened unless we create a space to educate future generations. He argues that these places are important reminders of the dark path we once took, and provide a cautionary tale because bullies and hate-mongers still exist. Our guests note that Anniston's nickname is the "Model City," and after the attack, the community came together to create COUL, the Council on Unified Leadership, a biracial council to address violence and racial issues. They hope that gaining National Monument status will provide a model for how other communities might come together after horrific acts of violence to have real conversations and develop real solutions.
We would like to thank our special guests today, Anniston Mayor, Vaughn Stewart, and Vice Mayor, Seyram Selase. We wish them the best of luck in their endeavor to recognize these important landmarks. We encourage our listeners to visit the current Anniston Civil Rights & Heritage Trail. We'd also like to thank Jaye Price for the music.

Since the Sept. 11 attacks and the subsequent war on terror, many Muslim-Americans report they've been victims of harassment and discrimination, violence and vandalism.
We explore their fears in a six-part series entitled, "Afraid in America."
Part 1: Sikh-Americans describe in graphic terms slurs often directed at them on the street presumably because of their Middle Eastern appearance.
Part 2: Are hate crimes on the rise? A new report from the Council on American-Islamic Relations says yes. The report's author outlines his findings, which Muslim-American community leaders describe as "disturbing."
Part 3: "Flying While Muslim." The ACLU discusses lawsuits it has brought on behalf of airline passengers who claim they were "profiled" by security personnel on planes. ACLU claims U.S. security measures go too far and civil liberties are "under attack."
Part 4: The FBI dismisses allegations, saying it doesn't profile and has in fact successfully prosecuted a number of hate crimes. FBI says airline passengers are questioned or detained because of suspicious behavior, not simply because they are Muslim.
Part 5: Conservative groups deny an anti-Muslim bias. They defend the Bush Administration's war on terror and dismiss Muslim complaints that conservative radio talk show hosts fuel hatred with anti-Muslim rhetoric.
Part 6: Muslim-American community leaders are pushing for passage of a bill pending in Congress. Republicans think the "End Racial Profiling Act" is unnecessary; Democrats who support it proclaim it dead as a doornail.

The Stairway To The Sun and Dance of the Comets by Paul Scheerbart
I picked up this book at Farewell Books while in Austin. Every time I go to that book shop I always make sure to pick up something by an author I have never read or heard of before. Paul Scheerbart was one I hadn't been familiar with but picked up because I cannot pass up on a book of strange fairy tales. (Recently I read Michael Cunningham's A Wild Swan: And Other Tales.) I've been reading about his life and interests. Definitely someone I would be interested in, fascinating really. This is what I like best about book shops. Discovering some thing or someone new. I am enjoying this one slowly.
"The Stairway to the Sun & Dance of the Comets brings together two short books, originally published in 1903, by the antierotic godfather of German science fiction, Paul Scheerbart. The Stairway to the Sun contains four fairy tales of sun, sea, animals and storm, each set in a different, fantastical locale, from the giant palace of an astral star to a dwarf's underwater glass lair in the jellyfish kingdom. Scheerbart's sad, whimsical tales provide gentle though unexpected morals that outline his work as a whole: treat animals as one would treat oneself, mutual admiration will never lead to harm and if one is able to remember that the world is grand, one will never be sad.
Dance of the Comets, though published as an "Astral Pantomime," was originally conceived as a scenario for a ballet, which Richard Strauss had planned to score in 1900 (and which Mahler accepted for the Vienna Opera). Though the project was never realized, Scheerbart's written choreography of dance, gesture, costume, feather dusters, violet moon hair and a variety of stars and planets outlines a sequence of events in which everyone--enthusiastic maid, temperamental king, indifferent executioner, foolish poet--seeks, joins and, in some cases, becomes a celestial body: a staging of Scheerbart's lifelong yearning for a home in the universe.
Paul Scheerbart (1863–1915) was a novelist, playwright, poet, critic, draftsman, visionary, proponent of glass architecture and would-be inventor of perpetual motion."

If you clicked on this link to find THE answer to raising good kids, well I'm going to be very upfront. I do not have the answer for you. In fact, you have been misled to believe that there is ONE way to raise good kids. Well, I suppose there is ONE way to raise kids, but not the "how to raise GOOD kids" mentality.
As parents, we are raising our kids in an environment when I think there is an incredible amount of pressure on HOW to parent. Do this. Don't do that. Feed them this, how dare you EVER feed them that! You let your baby sleep with YOU? They ate mac 'n cheese HOW many times this week? And it wasn't organic? Dessert when they didn't even eat their supper? How dare you!
This may all sound comical when read in one paragraph, but you know what? These are the exact questions that our culture has answers to, on how to raise good kids.
Do I have some news for you!
Let me repeat, there is no one RIGHT way to raise GOOD kids.
Is there a way to raise kids? Yes, but I believe in fact, it doesn't even start with US.
It starts with God. It starts by giving them back to the Lord in surrender, acknowledging that we do NOT have all the answers as parents, but are going to wholeheartedly try our best, our deepest best, to raise them the best we know how.
Have you ever looked at the parenting section of a bookstore and wonder ugh, where to even start? How about the "What To Expect When You're Expecting" book? Talk about feeling like ya know nothing when you crack open that book. Though I will fully admit, that book I read from cover to cover and probs made me the parent I am today, thanks to the practicality of that book. I'll be the first to admit that when our daughter came into this world, I didn't have a clue what I was doing, but it's amazing how our natural instincts kick in. But ya know what? I still don't have a clue what I'm doing, but then I wonder, according to whom?
My child did eat mac 'n cheese twice last week. My child did sleep with me after my husband got up for the day, after she couldn't fall back asleep. My child hasn't eaten vegetables in over 1 1/2 years because she refuses to eat them. She asked for carrots one day and I started to sing the Hallelujah chorus, but realized she only wanted to lick the ranch dip off of it. My child struggles with constipation and yes, if she ate more vegetables, she wouldn't be as constipated. Am I raising a "good" kid? Well, according to the cultural standards, no. But the more I experience life, I could really care less. I am doing the best I can, without getting caught up with what the books tell me to do.
Why do I worry about what she can and can't do, when she's not even 3? How many of us have created a "I'm a good parent if my child knows how to…" you fill in the blank. Who created this "good and successful" kid measuring stick anyways? Well, you want to know who did? WE DID.
We do it to ourselves. We run around with our heads in tailspin, trying to create this perfect life for our children. Well, newsflash, we don't live in a perfect world so therefore, our kids will NOT be perfect. Again, our kids will NOT be perfect. Doesn't that thought just offer an incredible amount of freedom? We can strive and strive for perfection, but it will only lead us to a dead end every. single. time.
There is research and articles on the internet for any answer you are looking for. If you want to find support for how YOU are raising your child, you will find it. But in the end, what we do, is we end up creating this defense for everything we do. We feel we need to stand up for what we allow, for fear of judgment from our fellow moms. Let me free you from that bondage by telling you this too: NO ONE HAS IT ALL TOGETHER. Really. Everyone has been spit up on. Everyone has had a blow out. Everyone has woken up in the middle of the night and I'm sure, had bags under their eyes. Everyone has had a hard day.
The only way to raise "good" kids is to realize that there is no ONE right way to do so. The only way we can raise our children is to give them back to God and daily ask Him, how HE wants us to raise OUR children. And I can guarantee you, it will be a different calling than what your neighbor was given. You see, God created each of His children uniquely, with different gifts, different desires, different backgrounds. Therefore, how we raise our children, will reflect that and no family is the same as the next. Therefore, there is no ONE right way to raise good kids! Every kid will fail you in some way. We all failed our parents in some way because we live in an imperfect world.
We need to free ourselves from the bondage of perfection. We need to free ourselves from the bondage of needing to have it all together. We need to free ourselves from the belief that there is a certain way to raise good kids. And we need to fall into the arms of the One who created us. Who created our children. And Who loves us for who we are.
Not who we are not.

http://valdezrestaurant.com/ 416.363.8388 mon-sat $$ 5pm-late
http://panamfoodfest.com/2014/ – August 8 to 10, 2014
The second annual Pan American Food Festival – the only festival in the world that celebrates the best food and culture of the Western Hemisphere – returns to Toronto, August 8 to 10, 2014 at Daniels Spectrum, a vibrant new cultural hub in the heart of downtown Toronto. This year's festival features a roster of impressive chefs, fun food competitions and entertainment for the whole family. Valdez restaurant is central in these events, and after a short introduction to the games and Latin food menu, I had to come back to enjoy some of the menu from the kitchen.
Walking through the doors of this renovated space still stirs up good old memories of 606 and Cheval. Now this vibrantly decorated spot and reminds me of being down south. Just to the left of the entrance, a rich trail of aromatic smoked wood leads one up to a sunshine and rainbows rooftop patio. Love the beats and the sexy servers – there just when you need them.
House made root chips accompany, creamy, just-enough-zest guacamole and fresh mouthwatering salsa, however the $11 is little high. Arepa and huevo served softly fried with cracked pepper is slightly sweet and chewy. Drunken shrimp (3 pieces) must be balanced properly with the pineapple and smoked jalapeno salsa, otherwise its spicy as hell – BUT the heat does not linger.
Grilled swordfish adobo marinade with lime is spiced rightly, unfortunately the fish is a touch dry. Fatty Umami-rich beef short ribs with Chimichchurri are a favorite. Blackened grilled quail is super moist, caramelized tamarind and sweet chili is nice and the butterflied presentation is lovely.

Renting your first apartment, things you should consider?
Renting your first apartment can be exciting and frustrating. You have worked all summer saving your money, you and your friend have decided to move in together. Now you just need to find a place. It is that simple right? Here are some things you need to consider that most people don't tell you about:
What can you afford?
Before you start looking for an apartment you need to sit down and figure out your budget. What can you afford? Roommates help with splitting expenses, but roommates move out, can you afford an apartment on your own? You also want to factor in utilities – Electricity, trash, gas, water, and sewer. Some utilities are included when you rent an apartment and some are not. Most often Internet and Cable are not. You need to consider Deposits also. A deposit is usually a sizable amount that the property owner or property manager hold in trust for you until you move out. It is used to cover any damages you may cause to the unit. The utility companies are going to want deposits also to establish new accounts with them. Usually, after a year of good solid payments, they flush these deposits back to you through your account.
Credit and rental references
Most places you apply for are going to require rental references and good credit. Since this is the first time you have rented you may lack references and you probably have not started establishing any credit history either. Therefore, you may want to line up a possible co-signer for the apartment. Keep in mind, this person is doing you a huge favor, they are putting themselves on the line saying you will care for the apartment and pay your rent. If you fail to do so, you will injure the co-signer as well as yourself.
Job history
Property owners and Property managers are also going to want to see at least 6 months to a year of job history. They like to see stability and responsibility. They want to know you can pay your bills. You can also provide copy's of bank statements showing you have money put aside for emergencies or to cover the rent if a roommate moves out.
What type of lease terms are you willing to commit to? Month to Month, 6 months, a year lease? Being that this is your first apartment you may want to look for a month to month. Which basically means that if something goes wrong, you and your roommate are clashing, you lose your job, you can simply provide the property owner or property management with a 30 day notice in writing and move out of the apartment and your financial obligation to them ends, of course you want to remember to close all your utility accounts and provide forwarding address but that is a whole different blog.
Taking Possession
Once you have found your apartment, you have agreed to all the terms of the rental agreement, paid all your deposits and you are ready to move in. Take some time to walk through the apartment while it is vacant, take pictures, take notes of the condition of the property, keep a copy for your records and provide a copy to the property owner or property manager. You are setting the foundation for when you move out and the return of your deposit. (To read more on the return of your security deposit /2015/06/12/return-of-security-deposit/)

In December 2017 the Vhembe District municipality mayor was pleading for a "Christmas" for her and the speaker of the municipality as they were the ones making sure the money deposited in the VBS Mutual Bank was kept by the bank for six months.
"Christmas" is often used in local lingo during the year-end holiday season to signal a request for a monetary gift.
The Reserve Bank placed VBS under curatorship in March after withdrawals by municipalities led to a cash crunch. The Bank then appointed a team of forensic investigators led by Werksmans Attorneys and advocate Terry Motau, to establish what exactly had precipitated the failure.
The forensic report describes a criminal enterprise led by executives of the bank who were supposed to be its custodians, starting with the chair of VBS, Tshifhiwa Matodzi, who was identified as the kingpin. It recommends that they face criminal charges.
A WhatsApp message from politically connected middleman Kabelo Matsepe to Matodzi on December 20 2017 shows one example of the "rampant corruption and bribery that occured", Motau said in his forensic report.
"We gave her 300k and she cried [local lingo for complained] and said we gave juniors R1.5m and we give her 300k.… We said we will consult with you and will sort her out on Friday morning … If we can let's give her 1% or 2% on a level of trust because she did keep her promise that she will block the money from being withdrawn," the rest of the brazen WhatsApp message reads.
The report shows how bank executives allegedly bribed municipal officials to deposit public funds in VBS.
The deposits made by municipalities in Gauteng, Limpopo and the North West were only one facet of the sordid mess which has emerged from the dealings of the bank.
Read the full report
The report reveals that R3.4bn was deposited from January 27 2015 until the bank was placed under curatorship, and that payments made to municipalities amounted to just more than R2.3bn. On April 30, R1.2bn remained from 14 municipalities, and this amount included fees and interest.
The report found that VBS went on a "concerted and deliberate" campaign to attract "very substantial" deposits from the municipalities by paying "commissions" in order to solicit the deposits.
Andile Ramavhunga, CEO of the bank, testified that there was "nothing at all wrong" with the bank paying commissions to middlemen to solicit the deposits, but denied that he had any knowledge of bribes being paid to municipal officials to make deposits with VBS or to roll over funds that were due for repayment to the municipalities.
Phophi Mukhodobwane, GM of the treasury at VBS, gave more detailsof the "commissions", saying in some cases agreements were in place to give a 2% commission of the sum deposited. The bank kept records of these commissions, in invoices as well as on e-mail.
He said there was initially no direct contact between VBS and the municipalities, and that all payments were made to the consultants, who would then deal with the payment to the officials in question. However, he testified about a municipal official who complained that he had only received "a can of Coke" for his efforts, while the consultant raked in R1m.
From that point onwards the bank started making direct payments to officials, whom the report said were mainly dealt with by Ntendeni Nemabubuni, who is the GM of sales at VBS. However, it was impossible for VBS to cut out the consultants, who Mukhodobwane said had political ties to "very powerful people" within the ANC structures in the particular region.
On one occasion the acting CFO of the Capricorn District municipality, Mariette Venter, had resisted depositing money at VBS and demanded that the funds be returned, since municipalities were not allowed to deposit money in mutual banks in terms of the Municipal Finance Management Act.
But she was accused of just being a "white lady" who had an issue of banking with a black bank. The report said she stood firm, and the municipality stopped making any new deposits at the bank, and it ended up as one of a few municipalities in Limpopo not in "serious financial difficulty" after VBS was placed under curatorship.
Players such as Matsepe scored big in the process of effectively bribing officials. The report details that his company, Moshate Investments Group, received R27m for doing "consulting" work for the bank. He testified that he was paid commission by virtue of initial introductions he made at the Ranch Hotel in Polokwane between mayors, municipal managers and CFOs of municipalities and VBS.
The biggest losers are the residents of some of the country's poorest municipalities, which had to table budgets without the money they had deposited. It is unclear if and when they would ever see it again.

The Orient Express
The Orient Express.
The most famous cross-continent luxury express train service is the Orient Express. It was inaugurated in 1883 by Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits and ran from Paris to Istanbul, but was decommissioned in December 2009. Its route were taken over by the Venice-Simpion Orient Express, a private venture by Orient-Express Hotels Ltd (now renamed Belmond Ltd), but it runs from London to Venice only. However, it is connected to other destinations in Europe, including the original route to Istanbul.

Defensive co-ordinator Mike Benevides wasn't the only member of the Edmonton Eskimos football operations staff to part ways with the club Friday.
Postmedia has learned long-time staffer Rob Ralph will no longer be their director of Canadian scouting, a position he was promoted to by then-general manager Ed Hervey the day after the 2016 CFL draft.
Prior to that, the native of London, Ont., spent four years as an Eskimos scout after moving over from video duties, while also working as an offensive assistant and draft co-ordinator, all of which adds up over a span of two decades with the club.
As far as finding a replacement for the aforementioned Benevides, one name that's come up belongs to former Eskimos linebackers coach Phillip Lolley, who spent two seasons in Edmonton before he and the rest of the Eskimos coaching staff followed Chris Jones to Regina after winning the 2015 Grey Cup.
The 64-year-old native of Alabama was most recently the Hamilton Tiger-Cats defensive co-ordinator.

Ask the Doctors March 2017 Issue
Ask the Doctors: March 2017
I had bypass surgery many years ago after a heart attack when I was in my early 50s. I will need another bypass. What should I know going into my second operation?
A "heart reoperation" is not an uncommon occurrence-since individuals with heart disease are living longer—especially if the first operation was done when much younger.
Many issues with the first operation, including extent of heart injury, medical conditions such as kidney disease or diabetes, are important factors at the time of reoperation. But one important difference that may influence reoperation risk is increased age. Recovering from any type of surgery, particularly heart surgery, is usually more complicated when performed in older individuals. Age itself may not be as important as other problems associated with advancing age such as additional medical conditions and medications required to treat them. The good news is that age may be less of an issue if you have otherwise taken good care of your health and remained physically active.
Prior surgery does introduce some distinct concerns such as adhesions or scar tissue in the chest cavity creating technical challenges for the surgeon. Others may include more diffuse coronary disease making bypass more difficult or new valvular disease which may need to be addressed surgically at the same time. With the first operation the best available blood vessels were likely used to create the grafts. Finding additional acceptable vessel segments to create new grafts may be harder.
Because all these issues may combine to make a second operation a greater challenge be sure to select a surgeon who has done several reoperations and don't hesitate to ask questions no matter how trivial you think they may be. In hospitals were second and third surgeries are commonplace and surgeons work closely as a team with cardiologists other procedures such as stents or catheter placed valves may be alternatives if reoperation risk is very high. The good news is that with every passing year the experience of surgeons and surgical techniques improve, as does success and safety of these procedures.
After the death of actress Carrie Fisher there seemed to be mixed reports about whether she died of a heart attack or cardiac arrest. How are they different?
Carrie Fisher's cardiac related death and that of her mother Debbie Reynolds from a stroke the next day underscored in a sad way that cardiovascular disease is a concern for women as much as it is for men.
The official cause of death was cardiac arrest, but it is a term that is often used interchangeably (and incorrectly) with heart attack. Think of the heart as having a plumbing system—arteries, veins and valves—and an electrical system with continuous electrical signals to keep the heart beating in a steady rhythm. A heart attack is a plumbing problem. The arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle become blocked preventing oxygenated from reaching it. Within a short amount of time, heart tissue starts dying. If the heart attack is large enough the blood supply to other organs and muscles starts to diminish and may lead to collapse. Unlike a heart attack, which presenting with chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea and sweats, cardiac arrest may occur without any noticeable symptoms. It's a sudden electrical event in which the signals that control the heartbeat become chaotic or disrupted by an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia). The body's organs cannot survive for long without healthy circulation and unless treatment is administered soon, death is often the result. A heart attack can immediately precede cardiac arrest. But not all heart attacks cause cardiac arrest and not all cardiac arrests are the result of heart attacks. A primary heart arrhythmia or one secondary to other structural heart muscle, valve disease or drug use may be to blame.

If you listen to the news on TV, radio, the newspapers or on the Internet, you start to think that the US is the only country important enough to warrant any attention. But when it comes to modular home and commercial construction and factories, most of our factories are behind the rest of the world.
Here is an example of how a German modular factory is marketing and selling their products throughout the world including at least one builder in the US. Huf Haus is a modular company that has the capacity to build just about anything a client or builder would need.
Take a few minutes or maybe an hour and go through their website. You just might find some interesting things you can use. Also, look at their homes. Can you say "Alpine" looking? There's even a blog dedicated to all things Huf Haus by a fellow named Bob.

Coach, I do not think Huf Haus is what we term a "modular" manufacturer. They are more in the timber frame - post & beam and panelized discipline.
I have followed this company for years and recently saw a rerun of their operations on the "How it is made" tv program.
You can learn more about this company by visiting their web site at http://www.huf-haus.com/en/the-huf-house/post-and-beam.html

I agree, they are not true modular but how I love them! Other countries seem to embrace modular and system built housing much more than we do.

I got it!!!!! Market a modular brand made in the good ol' USA to the Germans. We can call it the "Hassel Hoff"

This telecom company rebrands just after Y2K and gets a few leadership changes — and all the new bosses are friends of the new CEO and not very technical, reports an IT pilot fish working there.
"My new boss was in charge of running all of the data centers and infrastructure operations," fish says. "He was a nice guy, but added very little value to a highly technical company.
"At one of our first meetings with him, we were reviewing the final approval to purchase a new storage area network, and he was shocked at the cost of the new storage hardware. So during the meeting, he decided to show his true level of technical experience."
After fish's team discusses the configuration and pricing options, the new boss stands up and asks, "Why do we need this SAN in the first place? In the IT storage area we have boxes of unused floppy disks. Why can't we use them in place of a new SAN?"

As Dorothy Parker once said:
"… Wherever she went, including here, it was against her better judgment."
Hello World! ! I'm blogging! I know, scary :} but there comes a time in everyone's life, when you just have to yell "Screw IT!" and hop on the cultural bandwagon before you get trampled by the Joneses (forget about trying to keep up).
This is my moment.
So…Enjoy. I don't know what I'll be blogging about, mostly myself, my family, and my friends, and what I'm currently interested in. *Heads UP–If you are in one of those groups, you should probably stop reading NOW!!–I mean IT!* Ok, Don't say I didn't warn you!
Anyway, I'm new to this whole BLOGOSPHERE thing-a-ma-jigga as my Aunty Jeanette would say, and I'm not sure how things will work. So PLEASE bear with me, and if I screw it up, TOUGH COOKIES, you'll just have to deal with it until I learn better.
Thanks for reading *hugs*

I didn't have poster art for my first two films. I contacted someone to work on art for my first film, but that fell through. Since I normally can't afford to pay people properly, I designed this poster art for my third short film (it was a very experimental effort for me and is dear to my heart), A Hammer Fell in Jerusalem: Anathema (be forewarned, it's half an hour long and is a silent film.) I can't draw and I'm not a fan of Photoshop posters where it's just heads looking pensive blah, blah, blah… While it's pretty obvious I'm not that kind of artist, I think it turned out pretty awesome.
I'm super glad that Bonni Reid's doing my art for Stella Buio, though, you have no idea. There's no way I could put out something that I would be happy with for this film.

The draw of prizes will be the most transparent ever: the winners will be drawn at random and the draw will be transmitted online on LiteForex's site.
It's worth mentioning that one and the same client may participate in the contest as many times as he wishes – it's enough to make another deposit of $1000 or more, and your account will be added to the list of participants one more time.
The advantage of this contest is that a client is not excluded from the list of participants even if he has already won a prize in the first 3 stages - he still can continue to contend for the main prize Mercedes Benz S 400 Hybrid.
