Beating the Babushka by Tim Maleeny
Location: San Francisco, CA USA This is one of my North American selections for Dorte's 2010 Global Reading Challenge.
Private Detective Cape Weathers is hired by movie producer Grace Gold to investigate the death of another producer and former lover, Tom Abrahams. The police think his fall from the Golden Gate Bridge is a suicide. No way, says Grace. Cape takes the case and is soon dealing with the Russian mafia (hinted at in the title?), high grade heroin, a mob war between the Italians and the Chinese, the intricacies of producing a movie, and the eccentric owners of the movie studio. And people are trying to kill him.
This is the second Cape Weathers novel though it is set just before the the first, Stealing the Dragon. Cape was a newspaper reporter with a skill for finding people before he decided that he would rather directly affect events rather than passively report them. He falls into the wisecracking category of detective and there is some excellent black humor; early in the story he is at a murder scene in a butcher shop discussing what sausage would make the best blunt instrument with one of the detectives.
The Asian woman on the cover represents Sally, half American/half Japanese, and Cape's friend. She is a martial arts expert who was raised as an assassin by the Triads in China and one of the few people to quit that life. She is Cape's deadly backup when he needs it.
I've visited San Francisco several times and enjoy the way Maleeny works the city into the story, particularly North Beach and China Town. Given that the story involves a movie production, you might expect to see the city figure as a character and Maleeny doesn't disappoint but you'll need to read the book to see how.
In the FriendFeed Crime and Mystery Fiction room we recently discussed the "if you like X then you'll enjoy Y" type of recommendations, something I don't normally do. I'm going to give it a shot here and say that if you enjoy Robert Crais' Elvis Cole & Joe Pike stories then you should give Maleeny a try. On Maleeny's web site there is a blurb from Bookgasm comparing Cape Weathers to Travis McGee. That's a wee bit of a stretch to me but there are a few similarities: he gets personally involved in cases; has a code that doesn't let him give up; has a habit of taking on cases that involve attractive women. I'm reading a Travis McGee story now so I will be alert for similarities.
I've enjoyed the plotting, characters, writing, and humor of the two Cape Weathers novels and Tim Maleeny is on my "I'll read anything he writes" list
The third Cape Weathers novel is GREASING THE PIÑATA which won the 2009 Lefty for Best Humorous Mystery.

Thanks for the review Mack,

Thanks Jose and Margot,
I suggest starting with Stealing the Dragon. The story is meatier. I got interested in the background and Maleeny does his research. His books fill a need for hardboiled action with humor.

It is not always easy to deal with all the aspects of a fully functioning campus. There is so much activity going on and some of the energy you cannot deal with. Maybe it is the schedule, maybe you have a reason to stay home and need to be there the whole time, maybe you cannot deal with the people, or maybe the setting is just too active for your attention. That is why there is the possibility of going to school online with today's technology. When an online degree course is discussed in today's world, it usually makes you think of an online college program. These programs are including but not limited to college. Online degree courses are now for high school and middle school as well. The courses are usually easier to navigate and there are instructors waiting by for any questions or help you may have. You get to learn in your own environment and learn whenever you are comfortable. The paces are usually easier to handle because it is based on the time that you need to learn the materials. Most online classes can be done whatever time of the day or night you are ready to do them. This means that if you are not a morning person, you do not have to worry. You can go to school dressed in whatever you want and there are always online resources standing by to help you practice and learn further in your classes. For most online courses, you can also take the tests when you are ready. The speed and consistency in which you do your work can usually be discussed with an instructor. Going to school does not have to be hard or boring; sometimes it just takes a different environment for each individual.

Lawmakers there voted to strip $43 million from the governor's Texas Enterprise Fund, the "deal-closing" fund the state uses to lure businesses from elsewhere, and divide it into two equal pots: one for Child Protective Services and foster care funding, the other for a program that pays for disabled children's physical, occupational and speech therapy services.
The budget passed 50-48 and is now awaiting negotiation between House and Senate leaders.
Numerous amendments will come forward Thursday, with Democrats proposing plans to win over moderate Republicans and the most fiscally conservative members looking for ways to slash spending.
Rep. César Blanco, D-El Paso, filed an amendment that would cut $145.6 million from border security to fund a program that offers free tuition to veterans and their children at public universities.
The amendment filed by Plano Republican Rep. Matt Shaheen would take $16 million from the Texas Department of Agriculture to fund the same program.
For the first time in modern memory the House has failed to pass a state budget, effectively removing the 400 legislators from the process for now and erasing the work of their Finance Committee over the past several months. " ... It isn't going to work unless these other measures prevail".

About $20 million will be taken out from the state's environmental agency to fund an "Alternative to Abortion" program for low-income pregnant women. More than $2 billion in proposed cost cuts to Medicaid is also on the table, and many state agencies are under a hiring freeze.
"A large faction of this group only focuses on the fact that government really should be much smaller than it is, regardless of the consequences that that has on their fellow man", Jasper said.
"That's a pretty big difference, but it's one that I think we'll easily be able to figure out in conference", said Zerwas. "It's time to funnel the money to the principle functions that our government should be doing".
A proposal by Rep. Jonathan Stickland, R-Bedford, to cut funding for feral hog abatement drew a sharp response from a fellow Republican, Rep. That's half of the $3 million he initially requested for the program, which has been in place since 2012. State Rep. John Zerwas, R-Richmond, thanked lawmakers for exhibiting "true leadership" with their willingness to tap the fund, "instead of electing to use an unconstitutional transfer from the transportation funding". The funding could still be removed since the final House budget will have to be reconciled with the Senate's budget. But tempers flared in the immediate aftermath.
Rep. Leslie Herod, D-Denver, proposed an amendment that would provide tampons to inmates.
Lawmakers in the midst of what promises to be an hours-long slog debating the state's spending plan for the next biennium voted 103-44 in favor of an amendment expressly stating state money "may not be used to pay for or support a school voucher, education savings account, or tax credit scholarship program or a similar program through which a child may use state money for nonpublic education".

Semesa Rokoduguni is perfect wing man to have when coming under fire
Bath player's military background allows him to pass on parallels between war and sport, writes Daniel Schofield
The biggest game in Semesa Rokoduguni's season was not last night in the Amlin Challenge Cup final against Northampton. Nor was it in the 19-16 defeat away to Harlequins that cost Bath a place in the Aviva Premiership semi-finals. Instead it came three weeks ago when the Fijian wing was not representing Bath or even being paid for his considerable services.
For Lance Corporal Rokoduguni, of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, the most important fixture in the calendar was, and always will be, the Babcock Trophy, a prize that barely pricks the consciousness of the wider sporting public but resonates deeply with this country's service men and women.
Contested by the Army and Navy at Twickenham, this year it attracted a larger crowd than the…

Sarah Paulson Drank Tequila To Film Snake Scene
Actress Sarah Paulson guzzled tequila to calm her nerves before she had to film a scene with a snake for American Horror Story: Coven.
The 12 Years a Slave star had to shoot a racy sex scene surrounded by snakes and fire and she was so worried she'd lose her nerve as the cameras were rolling she knocked back tequila to give herself the strength to get through it.
She says, "I was very nervous about it at first and the director came up to me and said, 'We want to do this full out, it's American Horror Story, we're gonna go for it. How do you feel about having a snake on your body?' I was like…, 'I don't feel good about it…'"
The tequila clearly worked because when her snake co-star attempted to escape, Paulson tackled her fear of the reptiles, wrangled it and wrapped it around her body. She recalls, "There was this albino snake named Butter that I got very close to… We were also in a ring of fire, (which the snakes) don't like (and) they were trying escape."
"The camera operator was like, 'We're losing the snake, we can't see the snake', and I was like, 'What do you need?' I turned into, like, a crazy drill sergeant… and I pulled the snake and put it around (me). I turned into, like, a crazy snake person."

Brave Image
Distorted media images around teens result in a skewed reality of self, a preconceived notion of societal labels and this is caused by promotion of an "ideal" body image. Our team has built a site to provide a safe space for men and women who suffer with body image issues and learn how to be more accepting of themselves and their body types.
Chicago Pollution Patrol
Pollution in cities leads to a poor quality of life, so we need to reduce fossil fuels, find ways to use more renewable energy, and reduce water waste. Our site provides educational information on how you can help make Chicago a more sustainable energy user.
Do Right for Animal Rights
In order to reduce the amount of animal abuse that takes place in many homes, we have built a site to educate users on how to find the right dog for them, find training resources in their area and who to reach out to if you know an animal in need of help.
Safe Haven
Safe Haven is on a mission to make adolescents feel safe by sharing coping methods and helping them realize they are not alone. Safe Haven does this by providing multiple chat rooms that can help people talk to people around their age. These people have many aspects of their struggle in common. Also, Safe Have has inspirational quotes, a place where people can ask questions, and a variety of coping methods.
Chance is on a mission to help Middle School and High School teens with less opportunities by providing them with free programs to expand their learning. Chance was created by kids for kids, and all the work we put in was done to help our peers find opportunities, like we found with BraveCamp.
SafeRace is a place to share experiences of racism and segregation in Chicago through social media. It helps youth find opportunity to help change their community and city and hope to abolish ignorance among youth to help inform them of segregation that happens in their own city.
Beautiful Like You
Beautiful Like You is on a mission to empower and encourage teenage girls by teaching them about self-love through body empowerment and building a community of like-minded individuals to support one another and talk through their problems.
Get Your Food On
Get Your Food On is on a mission to educate youth (ages 8-14) with a game that encourages healthy eating and begins to build better eating habits. Each user of the game will have an avatar that can compete with real students and people in their community to encourage them to make well-informed decisions about their eating decisions.
CommuniTEACH is a program that helps students, teachers, and parents be better connected by providing access to nearby tutoring centers, allowing teachers from all over the nation to connect, and by providing translation services to eliminate the language barrier families may encounter.

What Does FDIC Mean?
Over the years I've been in the habit of keeping certain things in my car. I'm of the attitude "just in case I need it" so I'll be prepared. I've got an extra baseball hat in my car trunk should I want to take a walk in the midday bright sunshine. (I don't always wear sunglasses and besides, I adore wearing hats). I also throw a light jacket in the car on nice days in case it gets cold later. Planning ahead even on the little things can make life just a tad less complicated. In a word, it's putting certain protections in place to give me peace of mind.
It was back in 1933 that an independent agency of the U.S. federal government was started to really serve a similar purpose – to give peace of mind to bank depositors. The agency that was created is called the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or "FDIC." The FDIC was created because of the many bank failures that occurred during the 1920s and 1930s. Prior to the existence of the FDIC, if you had money in a bank that failed, your savings were long gone.
Today, the FDIC "insures the deposits in banks and thrift institutions for at least $250,000." According to the FDIC, "no depositor has lost a single cent of insured funds as a result of a failure." Now, that certainly can bring peace of mind to customers keeping money in a bank. (1)
We are going to discuss the history and various aspects of the FDIC in coming Posts. As a money-smart consumer, it will be very important to have an understanding of the FDIC and its role in the banking industry and to the consumer.
As a way of introduction, your homework today is to visit the FDIC website and read the one page article "Who is the FDIC?".
Also, we referenced the notices you need to see at a bank. The FDIC notice is one of those if a bank is insured by the FDIC. See the Post at: Public Notices You Should See At a Bank.

Sex, drugs and surveys
TO WHAT extent are young people experimenting with sex and drugs? For kids in the US, we'll know this week. Every two years, some 14,000 teens fill in a questionnaire on various risky behaviours, and the results from 2007 are now ready for public scrutiny.
This snapshot of the vices of America's teens comes from the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS). Recent trends are mostly encouraging, with kids reporting falling use of alcohol, tobacco and illegal drugs, and that they are becoming less likely to have sex. Yet according to Gavan Fitzsimons, a psychologist at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, those who take part in such surveys may later pay a price for their participation. Merely responding to questions about risky behaviours can increase the likelihood that they will indulge in future, he claims in the Journal of Consumer Psychology (vol 18, p 82).
The YRBSS is one of several similar surveys worldwide. The European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs, for instance, canvasses some 100,000 16-year-olds every four years. If they are affected as Fitzsimons claims, it would be a serious concern.
Asking people questions about their intentions is known to make them more likely to make purchases or indulge in desirable behaviours such as voting. Fitzsimons bases his controversial warning about similar effects with risky behaviours on studies from his own lab. In 2006, his team claimed that asking about future drug use increases subsequent drug-taking. Students asked how many times they would use illegal drugs in the coming two months subsequently said they did so an average of 2.8

The biggest secret to success is to always have a competitive edge in everything you do. This seems to go without saying but staying ahead of the competition is less frequently practiced in business.
Removing the risk for failure results in a powerful advantage for your business and success. So how do you do that? You eliminate the primary obstacles causing you to fall behind your competition. Don't let these obstacles prevent your team from outthinking and outperforming your competition.

Hello everyone out there. I want to really thank all of you for joining me on this webinar. I'm really excited to have this opportunity to be with all of you today. I had the fortunate opportunity to play on 2 CIF Championship High School teams with CIF player of the year, my senior year in high school and I was on 2 NCAA Championship college teams. I also competed internationally, representing the U.S. in water polo. You can see a picture of me when I was young up on the screen. Competing at this elite level has taught me life and business lessons that continue to bless me as an executive coach, an E.R. physician and a person. Today I'm excited to share a few of these lessons so that we can all be better competitors.
When you think of seeing a field most of you think of a football field or a baseball field, but when I think of a field I see this field. I see a field of water. I see a water polo venue, this is a venue from Stanford University where I went to college and this is a field I see. One of my bestfriends was an incredible competitor in and out of the water. He excelled at everything that he put his mind to. One of his competitive skills that he was renowned for was his uncanny ability to see the entire field. People would joke that he had eyes in the back of his head because he always knew where the open man was. He always knew where the ball need to go and he made spectacular passes. His awareness of the entire field was key to our successes is imperative as competitors that we step back and we are aware of the entire filed. We can only accomplish this if we pause and take the time to look out over our entire business, our industry and our lives. The athletes that could see the entire field would also be the ones who could create the winning opportunities because they knew what need to be done to succeed.
Unfortunately, I have also seen how not seeing the field can be very dangerous. As a senior doctor in training at Stanford, I had the opportunity to oversee the busy E.R. at San Francisco General Hospital. This place is a busy, busy inner city trauma center. I remember walking by the trauma room where a surgeon in training was sewing up a trauma patient and I noticed that the blood pressure marker was blinking as I walked by. I stopped and walked up to the surgeon in training who was very focused on stitching up the trauma patient, who had been almost completely scalped. This surgeon was not seeing the entire field as he was sewing. His patient was bleeding to death. The patient's blood pressure was critically low and there was a very large pool of blood at the surgeon's feet. Not seeing the entire field can be deadly to you and your business.
The key here with seeing the entire field is to create opportunities and awareness and we need to take the time to see the entire field before us and the only way to do that is we time out from the craziness, from the putting out the fires and the death by meeting office work. The best competitors take the time to develop their Life Plan and Business Vision so that they can gain awareness to succeed in life and business. With this awareness comes the ability to create winning opportunities.
How do we accomplish this? How do we accomplish seeing the entire field in action? How can we learn to see the entire field and in turn be able to create opportunities and heighten our awareness? It is with on-time. On-time is a term that we use in Building Champions to put aside time every week to pull our head out of the water and swim with our head up so that we can see the entire field. I urge you to schedule today on your weekly calendar time to see the entire field. We recommend a 4-hour block but many of my clients will take 2-hour blocks per week. This on-time is filled with reviewing Life Plans, Business Visions, collecting our thoughts, working on strategy, vision and other big picture projects. I keep a folder titled "on-time" in my computer and that folder I fill with projects that I will tackle during my next on-time opportunity. I strongly urge you to do that, to have that time every week to pull your head out from underneath the water and look out at the entire field.
Another key to being a successful competitor is knowing that culture wins. The way that culture wins is with attitude and with celebrating failure. Many of us have been on or seen teams that have the talent to win but the negative attitudes cause them to lose. We, as a culture in general, have a bad attitude. We don't emphasize the positive. We have been trained to point out the negative. Great competitors possess consistent winning attitudes. I have also been blessed to be on teams that may not have had all the talent in the world but they saw all the missed shots and poorly executed plays as being steps towards success. These are the teams that saw failure as something to celebrate, knowing that each failure led to becoming a champion.
One way to create a culture that wins is by practicing the Gottman 5:1 rule. Dr. Gottman's a clinical psychologist who has scientifically shown that successful relationships have a 5:1 ratio of positive to negative comments. In fact, he has shown that marriage relationships with a 5:1 ratio have an incredibly low divorce rate when compared to those with a 4:1 ratio. The ones with the 4:1 ratio have a divorce rate as high as 30% and those with a 3:1 ratio believe it or not have a divorce rate of over 50%. This has been shown to apply to our business relationships as well. To create a culture that wins, it is essential to turn up the volume on your positive attitude and compliments. The very lowest effective positive working relationship, the very lowest, are those with the 3:1 ratio.
I have heard it explained in this way, that everytime you have a negative interaction with someone, it affects them so much that it would take at least 3 positive interactions to shift your relationship to neutral. You deposit 1 coin with each positive interaction into your relationship bank while you withdraw 3 coins with each negative interaction. How well is your bank doing in your key relationships at work and at home? Are you running on empty? It doesn't take great effort to deposit a positive in an interaction. It could be really simple. It could be as simple as a "Well done" in the middle of hearing a report or "What I like about that idea is–" in response to a great idea or any idea or it could be a 10-second expression of appreciation or gratitude. Instead most of us as parents, spouses, leaders tend to take the positive things for granted. We assume the other person is already aware that they have done a good job and that we have noticed and appreciate them. This means that every time we open our mouth to say something, the other person is already cringing and on the defensive because the relationship bank is empty and because they have already anticipated a negative.
Dale Carnegie's famous phrase, "Don't criticize, condemn or complain." Compliments are key but we unfortunately criticize, condemn and complain far, far too much. We seem to talk to people only when there are bad things to say. Just yesterday I watched my youngest son's flag football practice and I heard his coach say, "You've guys are zero for 5 on pass completion so far today." He went on to say, "You guys are being shown up by a third grader playing defense." I don't think the kids need to hear that if the coaches even know that he's really, truly saying these negative things, but we really need to take the time this week in our offices, in our work places to really listen and observe how many positive to negative comments are flying around. I guarantee you the results will really surprise you and shock you.
Another way to win, when I'm wearing my doctor hat I can see this competitive advantage of the 5:1 rule. My nurses and staff work more efficiently and are more productive if I lead with a compliment rather than a critique. Create a system to use consistently praise and compliment your team. Brainstorm ideas. Think about a way that you can create a system that consistently praises and compliments your team. We have something called a "drop in the bucket" in our emergency department. There's a small bucket and there'd be paper drops in a bin next to them that you see. Any time that you want to compliment and praise someone, you're encouraged to fill out one of these drops, explain a great thing that the person did and then you deposit that, slip a paper that dropped into the bucket. I ask you now, what's a system that you have at work place that to give a drop in the bucket? What's the system that you can use to help your team use the 5:1 rule to your advantage?
The other action to make you and your culture more competitive is to celebrate failure. I bet it's rare that you ever see these 2 words put together: celebrate failure. Very few times that you see these 2 words put together and it's unfortunate. I think of the Toyota assembly line end-on cord as a great example of celebrating failure. Anyone on any assembly line in the world is encouraged to pull the end-on cord to stop the entire assembly line if they see a failure in the process. When they do, the team gathers around to learn from the failure. You can see the cords and these are the cords, and they're encouraged whenever they are making these cars to pull the cord. Everything stops, the assembly line stops and they take the time to really understand what went wrong. I would ask what it would look like in your team, in your culture to celebrate failure. What are the things that you can do in your culture to allow failure to be celebrated?
The next thing that I really think is key to compete at the highest level and be successful is to know and communicate with your team. This picture you see on your screen, a picture of a water polo venue, is a picture taken from Cuba and I'm reminded of the power and comfort in team to give you a competitive advantage when I recall when I was in Cuba playing for the U.S. water polo team. We're in the quarter final game against Italy and one of the Italians was literally punching me repeatedly as I tried to drive past him to get open. As I got out of the pool at the end of the quarter, one of my teammates leaned down and said, "Hey, I'll take him out for you." Now I don't recommend this approach but it's certainly is a competitive advantage if your team has your back and if each of your team members know that you have each other's back. There's a significant competitive advantage in knowing that. Any team that knows each other's strengths and proper roles on the team and can speak each other's language is likely to be on the winning side, so team is a pivotal part of success in competition.
A great way to have your teammates' back is to know them and be able to work with their strengths and to speak their language. I met a head coach for a college football team who's really excited because he recruited a top running back for his team. When this kid showed up to the pre-season, the coach would encourage him using words such as win, compete, succeed, dominate, but these words seem to go on deaf ears with this new star recruit. So the coach wasn't sure how to proceed and how to motivate this new star recruit. This coach had this young man and his entire team take an assessment like DISC. The DISC assessment showed that unlike his coach, lo and behold his coach was a high D on the DISC assessment and this running back was a high C on the DISC assessment. If you're not familiar with the DISC assessment, it is a behavioral assessment that we use at Building Champions to help know each other better. It's a spectacular tool to work with teams and individuals. It helps us to speak each other's behavioral language to know ourselves better and to know each other better and therefore to lead better.
I like to simplify things and I've heard it said for those of us who aren't familiar with DISC and even for those who are familiar with DISC, a fun way to kind of remember each of the behavioral styles in DISC is to think of bird types. What I usually do is when I think of a high "D" type behavior type, I think of an eagle. Someone who would be a high "I" behavioral type, I think of a parrot. A high "S" behavioral type, a dove and a high "C" behavioral type is an owl. In this example with this coach and his new star running back, the coach's behavior type is a high D which is dominant and he used the language, he spoke the words that often times high D-type people will speak. If you were thinking of a bird, he'd be an eagle, but he needed to speak to his running back. The way to speak to his running back, who is a high C- behavioral type in the DISC profile or an owl if you're thinking of a bird, he needed to speak in the language of an owl. His coach proceeded to talk owl to him or to talk C to him with words such as calculate, analyze, detail and perfection. His recruit came alive. He was able to motivate his recruit using his DISC behavioral style to have incredibly successful season. So if you don't know your team's DISC, you're at a distinct competitive disadvantage. The DISC assessment is a simple, elegant tool to help you speak your teammates language.
Another key to a successful team is to over communicate. I can often determine, when I'm watching water polo now and even back when I was playing water polo, which water polo team was going to win the game very early on in the game by listening to the amount of chatter. The teams that were talking and over talking and chattering the most were consistently the team that was likely to win so it's definitely a competitive advantage to over communicate.
This is a picture of me, this is actually from last weekend before our level 1 trauma arrived in the emergency department that I work at. The trauma patient that we were waiting for had decided to pick a fight with a guy in the car. Our patient was standing in front of the other person's car pounding on the hood. The guy in the car was mad enough to press down on the gas pedal and run over our trauma patient, crushing his pelvis. The lesson that day was clearly not to pick a fight especially with a guy in a car. Our patient still survives and is recovering.
To successfully save this patient's life and the lives of countless trauma victims, we all stand in our designated places and communicate what our roles are. In this case, I always stand at the head of the bed to control the airway and the trauma surgeon stands next to me on my right. Before a major trauma, the trauma surgeon or myself will announce what is everybody's role. We all know what the roles are. We know where we're supposed to stand, we stand in the same spot every time but it's a review. It sounds repetitive but over communication leads to a tremendous competitive advantage. Over and over again, very simply even though it seems route and repetitive, it will save lives so we communicate to each other what are our roles today, what are we going to be doing today and that over communication saves lives and will be a distinct competitive advantage for you and your team.
As I continue to build my coaching muscles over the years, I found the more I communicate the better coach I am and the better doctor I become. One trick that I use to over communicate for a competitive advantage is to use what we call close-loop communication. In a trauma situation where it's loud and hectic, it is imperative that we administer the right medication and the right amount so we use close-loop communication to do this. Last week for instance, when I wanted 20 mg of etomidate and 100 mg of succinylcholine, I looked directly at the pharmacist and said I need 20 mg of etomidate and 100 mg of succinylcholine. She then said, "20 mg of etomidate and 100 of succinylcholine,." I said "Yes, 20 mg of etomidate and 100 mg of succinylcholine,." The medication and dosage was then repeated again by the nurse as she administered the medication to the patient. This close-loop communication process is an incredible competitive advantage and saves lives and will save your business in many ways.
In a business setting, it may not look like the diagram and the close-loop communication diagram but it might be simply a quote that says, "I heard you say," and this can be done simply. It is a very effective way to get clarity and to really know what the other person is trying to say. Often when you repeat what you heard them say, the other person will say, "Actually I was actually saying this and this," and it's amazing how often times we don't clearly understand what the other person is trying to say. The key is to remain curious and open to what the other person's response is because it's often not what you heard them say at all and yes you are probably thinking this, this method is great to use in all of your relationships. When I teach on this and other methods of communication at the hospital, I point out that this method has been really helpful in my relationships not just at work but with my wife, friends and kids.
Another team competitive advantage that I use at work consistently is we use something called "huddles" and it's a very effective tool in the emergency department and trauma room as a key to communicating and over communicating in these situations that we're in. The way we use this is we huddle at a set time at least twice per day to check in, we get clarity on whatever our deliverables are for that day and that shift and we will call audible huddles throughout the day to help with critical situations and when a course correction is needed in our management of our patients. I would ask and challenge you again, this is a great competitive advantage is to use a huddle in your business situation once a day, twice a day and when there are critical situations in business. It's a really helpful and useful tool to gain a competitive advantage.
I hope that these lessons that I've learned from competing at a very high level at water polo and by working in a really high volume trauma center will really bless you and help you in gaining a competitive advantage in your work space. If you have questions, you could see on the screen that you can reach me at email@example.com. There's much more to say but in our little bit of time that we have remaining, I would just ask that if you have any questions you need clarity, please reach out to me, reach out to us at Building Champions because we're here to serve you and help you be as competitive as possible in the work that you're doing. We really appreciate your time.

Peach Crisp (Cookie Mix)
Recipe by flower7
From Betty Crocker. Feel free to experiment with other fruit or fruit combos (I used peaches & blackberries my first time making this). In place of the canned peaches you can also use 5 cups frozen peaches (or other fruit), thawed and drained. There is a lot of crumble topping on this crisp so you may wish to use a larger pan (11x7 perhaps) and a bit more fruit, but I liked it this way :)
Top Review by Sydney Mike
Now how much easier can it get than making this most enjoyable dessert! Very, very satisfying! I did use frozen peaches, since I had them on hand, & now I'm looking forward to buying that bag of frozen blackberries I saw last time I was at Cosco! Thanks for the great treat! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's round of Pick A Chef]

Whole Broccoli SaladPosted by Megan | Lunch, Vegetarian
Let's be honest-typically we all eat the floret part of broccoli. The pretty little flower like top part. And there's nothing wrong with that because who really wants to the stem? Quite honestly, Will and I usually just buy fresh frozen broccoli, so it's never really bothered me until I read this recipe and the author talks about wasting the stem of fresh broccoli. Since Will and I both like broccoli, we figured why not give this whole-broccoli recipe a go for our lunch this week? Well we tried it and our assessment is that the pesto got a little dry and bland since we had made it on a Saturday and didn't eat it until Monday/Tuesday, but the broccoli flavor was still strong and good by the time we ate it. The blandness disappears if you just add salt!
