Doctors Advise Against the Use of Some NSAIDS After Heart Attacks
Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs or NSAIDs have proven to be effective painkillers for decades. Many of us reach for NSAIDs like ibuprofen without thought or hesitation, but a new report in the Journal of the American Medical Association, JAMA, states we may want to re-think how we look at NSAIDs, particularly after experiencing a heart attack, stroke or other bleeding disorder associated with the heart. A new study conducted at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark found that patients, who used prescription blood thinners like, aspirin or clopidogrel as well as NSAIDs like ibuprofen or Celebrex, were at a substantially greater risk for bleeding issues.
Dr. Charles Campbell, the chief of cardiovascular medicine at the University of Tennessee Erlanger Health Systems, states that there has been an increasing concern over NSAID use among heart attack and stroke patients. Dr. Campbell and his colleagues believe the concern over NSAID use among heart attack and stroke goes beyond the risk of increased issues of bleeding. It has long been known that long-term NSAID use can lead to decreased function of the kidneys. An increased risk of adverse kidney function and an increased risk for bleeding after only three days of NSAID use led Dr. Campbell to make the statement, "I would absolutely minimize your NSAID use if you are a patient in this category".
Given the fact that often times patients that have had a heart attack or stroke have been or are currently on a regimen of either an over the counter NSAID such as ibuprofen or a prescription NSAID like Celebrex or Voltaren for chronic muscle or arthritis pain it is difficult to simply tell patients to stop taking NSAIDs. Clearly, Dr. Campbell states, another solution needs to be implemented for patients that fall within the risk group. However, the answer to the solution may need some additional thought, particularly since the risk of NSAID use among heart attack victims is far too high.

Jared Kushner flew to Aspen same day as 'one of Putin's closest confidants' whose wife is pals with Ivanka
Flight logs show that President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, travelled to Aspen, Colorado on the same day as a Russian oligarch with strong ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
As the president's push for health care reform went down in flames last week, Kushner and his family were reportedly skiing in Aspen. Trump was said to be unhappy about the timing of the vacation.
Photojournalist Eric Rosenwald examined flight logs from airports in the area and found that Kushner arrived in Aspen on Saturday, March 18 — the same day as Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, who has been described as "one of Putin's closest confidants." Abramovich is known to own a home in Aspen.
According to Politico's Jake Sherman, Abramovich's wife, Dasha Zhukova, attended President Trump's inauguration as a guest of Ivanka Trump.
Rosenwald goes on to point out that two days later Abramovich's plane flew to the Caribbean just as two planes linked to Michael Cohen, special counsel to the president, arrived at nearby airports.
On Thursday, March 20, Abramovich's plane flew to the northern Lesser Antilles, a group of islands in the Caribbean Sea. On the same day, two aircraft linked to Michael Cohen did the same – one via Palm Beach, Florida, home of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort. It's important to note that Caribbean nations are famous for their tax haven status, and it's possible that these trips are purely coincidental.
Abramovich's aircraft landed in St. Maarten, while two smaller Beauty Central LLC-owned Gulfstream jets landed in Anguilla (one of which stopped in Palm Beach, first.) St. Maarten, St. Martin, St. Barth and Anguilla are nearly the same destination. The islands lie several miles apart and have close economic and social ties. St. Maarten (formerly Dutch) and St. Martin (formerly French) are actually two sides of the same island. Each island has an airport, but they differ in their size and ability to serve large aircraft.
"It's unclear whether or not any of these flights are related, but further investigation is certainly warranted," Rosenwald concludes.

"At what precise moment...
...does an individual stop being who he thinks he is?
You know, I don't like complications.
Cut off my arm. I say, "Me and my arm."
You cut off my other arm. I say, "Me and my two arms."
You...take out...
...take out my stomach, my kidneys,
assuming that were possible...
And I say, "Me and my intestines."
Follow me?
And now, if you cut off my head...
...would I say, "Me and my head" or "Me and my body"?
What right has my head to call itself me?
What right?"
Excerpt from the film "The Tenant", 1976, by Roman Polanski.
Michael Antkowiak (Warsaw, 1977) is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design, and completed his MFA from the New York Academy of Art in 2003. He has since exhibited in public and commercial galleries in Canada and abroad, including the Queens Museum of Art, in New York City, and Carrie Secrist Gallery, in Chicago, Il. Michael is a recipient of several artist's grants and residencies, including the Toronto Arts Council Grant, and the Joan Mitchell Foundation Fellowship. Michael lives and works in Toronto, and in addition to his studio practice, teaches as a drawing and painting instructor at OCAD University.

Investigating the correlation of sobriety and artistic output, Dawe's current practice illustrates parallels between recovery and the act of re-covering. What if we could step into ourself like we do our front door or favourite sweater? Or read oneself like we do a book? Buildings, dresses, and other vessels figuratively stand-in for the self, alluding to how slow transformations can be reflected in layers of mistinted paint, swatches of mended fabric, or patches of drywall. These manifestations of repair are poetic indicators of effort: the more layers, the further the journey.
Buildings I Feel Like depicts something in-progress without the implication that it is somehow incomplete or undone. Some people are sturdy Victorian homes or cozy basement apartments. Others are new condos, perpetually under construction. The house presents various rich metaphors of; interior and exterior, covered and exposed, private and public. The weightless compositions of Dawe's 'dress portraits' - both intimate and surreal - offer a place for poetic speculation. Culled from her experiences, the drawings - revealing, bold and approached with an unresting vigour - stake an unashamed tone. Devoid of wearer, the clothing becomes animate, declaring itself a subject free for interpretation.
Dawe's paintings, drawings, and installations celebrate the adaptive, sometimes messy, and meandering paths taken in search of self-actualization. By presenting a journey at its midpoint, her installations reveal that these finite markers - that of beginnings and ends - are fictitious when talking about self-betterment. Reminders that the pursuit of balance and happiness is inherently, and perpetually underway - valuing progression rather than perfection.
The Globe and Mail published a touching tribute to artist Rob Gonsalves, written by his sister, Debbie Gonsalves. Gonsalves attended OCAD University and Ryerson University's Architecture program, practicing architecture briefly before returning to painting. After exhibiting at Toronto's Outdoor Art Exhibition in 1990, he decided to pursue his art full-time.
He became known for his fantastical paintings that combined surrealism, illusion and elements of architecture. His work appears in the 2007 book Masters of Deception: Escher, Dalí & the Artists of Optical Illusion.
Gonsalves passed away in June, near Brockville.
A short documentary about him can be found online.

OCAD U congratulates Shelley Niro (AOCA 1990) on receiving a Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts. Each year, the awards honour seven artists for their artistic achievements and one person for their outstanding contribution to contemporary visual and/or media arts.
A member of the Turtle Clan of the Kanien'kehaka (Mohawk) Nation, from the Six Nations of the Grand River territory, near Brantford, Ontario, she has demonstrated her dedication to producing art that contributes to Indigenous identity in Canada.
Niro creates complex visual experiences in a variety of media, including beadwork, painting, photography and film. Her work has been exhibited widely, both nationally and internationally, and she has received considerable attention for her films.
Known for challenging conventional, colonial representations of Aboriginality with directness and humour, Niro crafts and retells Indigenous narratives by drawing on lived experienced, as well as themes of identity, self-determination and liberation.
Her short film, The Shirt, was presented at the 2003 Venice Biennale and the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. In 2009, her first feature film, Kissed by Lightning, premiered at Toronto's imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival and won the Santa Fe Film Festival's 2009 Milagro Award for Best Indigenous Film. Niro's work can be found in the collections of galleries and museums across Canada.
A graduate of OCAD University, Niro also studied at the Banff School of Fine Arts and received her MFA from the University of Western Ontario. To view some of Niro's work, please visit her website.
Rae Johnson began teaching drawing and painting at OCAD in 1988. She has also taught as a sessional instructor at Guelph University; Arts' Sake and the Toronto School of Art. She has lectured about her work across Canada in universities and art centres including: The Banff Centre for the Arts, Alberta; Plug In, Winnipeg; Bishop's University, Sherbrooke, Quebec; Concordia University, Montreal; Hart House, University of Toronto; Mount Allison University, Sackville, NB.; York University.
Becoming an artist I consider not so much a career choice as the recognition of an inner compulsion: one is aware that creating art is and always will be an essential, vital part of oneself. Those artists who throughout history have defined a certain culture have traditionally learned their craft from experts as students or apprentices. Discussion and the exchange of ideas with their teachers and peers has helped shape their artistic views and philosophies.
Phil Delisle is a painter and writer exploring various methods for representing artistic process. His works explore the conventions of framing; often having many paintings within paintings. In recent works he has sought to leave evidence of process by allowing areas to be fragmented or suggestive.

Work Programme
As part of the process to develop a regional water resources strategy, the WRSE has set up a Regional Modelling Project. This is exploring opportunities for sharing existing and new resources while meeting environmental objectives. At the same time, it is evaluating alternatives for managing demand for water – all of which are intended to minimise the cost to customers.
Computer modelling is a complex process by which a wide range of factors is fed into a program to determine various outcomes. In simple terms, it's forecasting the likely demands for water and comparing this with the supplies likely to be available.
Each WRSE member has an important role to play in supplying data for the model. The key areas of work of are as follows:
- To develop a new regional 'peer-reviewed' least-cost optimization model to explore options and various scenario solutions to balance supply and demand across the South East of England
- To provide consistent and appropriate cost information so that options can be assessed (in regional modeling and in discussions) on a 'like for like' basis
- To complete consistency reviews of this data and use it to refine option cost information as appropriate
- To consider new and existing water resources, and water supply and demand management options, including inter-company transfers or other resource sharing options
- To review the barriers to progress of WRSE work and its implementation and work to remove these barriers
- To recognise the potential impact of sustainability reductions that may be necessary to satisfy the requirements of the Habitats and Water Framework Directives (these are intended to protect water environments)
- To take account of social and environmental costs, and wider benefits including willingness to pay and value of water, to ensure an overall cost benefit approach to finding long term solutions.
Water Resources Management Plans
Every water company must have a Water Resources Management Plan and update it every five years. Vital statistics from these plans are incorporated into the computer model, as is data supplied by other stakeholders (For example, water companies on the boundaries of our combined region).
The result of all this work is that a range of scenarios can be tested and evaluated, and critical decisions made which will ensure a resilient yet affordable water supply for years to come.

I excelled in in a lot of ways and my experiences are the foundation for who I am as a professional today.

Today, there are more digital recording and editing programs available than ever before, but it can still be difficult to find unique and interesting samples to use in your songs. Samples are synonymous with Baltimore hip hop and finding the right sample can totally transform your song. How can you start finding and using samples in your Baltimore hip hop songs?
Look for Sample Packs
Sample packs are available on many different websites and they typically contain single hits of many different percussion elements including hi-hats, bass drums, snare drums, claps, tambourines, and percussion. Some sample packs also feature samples of noises like fire, rain, or ambient street noise. Other sample packs feature short clips of stringed instruments, piano chords, and more. Need a little extra help incorporating samples into your Baltimore hip hop? Purchase a sample pack that comes with longer clips of drums and melodies. It will give you less creative freedom, but it helps a great deal when just starting out.
Spend Some Time with Vinyl
Vinyl is the most traditional way of sampling that all of your favorite artists did when they were on their way up. Go visit your local Baltimore hip hop record store and search the dollar bin or sale section for old records. Buy as many as you are interested in and rip them to your computer once you get home. Find the interesting parts that you want to sample and keep them organized in a folder.
This approach to sampling does take longer than simply searching online for samples, but you will be able to get very specific samples that might not even be on the internet. It's also a great way to get your feet wet listening to different music styles for elements that you can incorporate into your own sound.
Check Out YouTube
YouTube can be a big waste of time, since there are so many videos to sift through to find what you are looking for. However, if you know exactly what you want, you can reduce the search results down to a manageable number quickly. YouTube is also a fantastic resource because it has so much content that you are guaranteed to find what you are looking for.

In addition to traditional competitive issues, OEMs face a myriad of challenges associated with managing the multitude of suppliers involved in a complex design and manufacturing process. With continued pressures (both internal and external) to reduce costs while accelerating products to market, OEMs often find that they no longer have the internal resources in place to efficiently manage all of the product development and supplier requirements internally.
MPE has an established and robust supplier base as well as a sophisticated and formalized design and manufacturing process. Our team of materials specialists are involved early in the development process and help select the ideal supply chain for your product requirements. We remove many burdens associated with managing product-specific supply chains, ensuring quality and accelerating the product development cycle. Each MPE supplier is scored and ranked on quality, delivery, price, flexibility, and ability to scale. This data is reviewed with the individual suppliers biannually utilizing our Supplier Status Review process.

Day 115 15.08.12 Fuengirola
After another quick trip to the shopping centre we were back on the road, this time to the holiday resort of Fuengirola. Our friend Rich who lives nearby had suggested we visit and meet up with him there. We found a parking spot beside a large shopping centre whose free wifi is disappointingly almost useless L
We stocked up on food at a nearby Lidl and had lunch before meeting Rich. He took us through town and down to the beach. Again the beach here is superb but rammed full of holiday-makers. The promenade is packed with English and Irish pubs as well as chip shops and trinket sellers. In its defence, Fuengirola isn't as tacky as I'd expected (but it isn't far off!). There certainly are a few more fountains and attractive buildings than I would have expected which go some way to redeeming the Blackpool-esque sea front. The castle was another pleasant surprise, high up on the hill top with some pretty (if a little arid) gardens leading up to it. The inside was however decked out for a massive beer festival that was winding down after its week long stretch. It made the whole place a little eerie and it felt somewhat like we were crashing a party by being there. The views from the top however were lovely.
After some more exploring of the centre we went to grab a drink with Rich who we both know from Nottingham. He came out to the region 7 months ago and works as a dog trainer just outside of Malaga. It was lovely to catch up over a couple of drinks (including a freebie from the kind owner of Moochers). From only having each other to talk to for the last 4 months, it's been a rather sociable fortnight for us!

|Prevalence and predictors of esophageal varices in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 17544879 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND & AIMS: Esophageal varices and bleeding are among the most feared complications of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). We aimed to determine the prevalence of esophageal varices in patients with PBC, to evaluate noninvasive markers of esophageal varices in this population, and to validate the results in an independent set of patients. METHODS: Data were collected on all patients with PBC seen for the first time at the University of Florida (study group) and at Case Western Reserve University hospitals (cross-validation group) during 7 consecutive years. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent predictors of esophageal varices. The best cut-off values were calculated based on receiver operating characteristic curves. The diagnostic accuracy of the independent predictors of esophageal varices identified in the study group were retested in the cross-validation group. RESULTS: Of 210 patients with PBC seen at the University of Florida, 113 had an endoscopy and 49.6% (56 of 113) were found to have esophageal varices. After excluding 22 patients with a history of variceal bleeding, data on 91 patients were analyzed. Thirty-four patients had esophageal varices (37%). Multivariate analysis revealed that a platelet count of less than 140,000 (odds ratio, 7.6; 95% confidence interval, 1.6-37) and a Mayo risk score of 4.5 or greater (odds ratio, 10.6; 95% confidence interval, 1.8-62) were independent predictors of esophageal varices. The diagnostic accuracy of these predictors was confirmed in an independent set of patients. CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with PBC, a platelet count of less than 140,000 and/or a Mayo risk score of 4.5 or greater appears to identify those patients more likely to benefit from a screening endoscopy.

heavendenied is now
today is the comeback stage of Super Junior… and it was GREAT!!! wahahaha… but Kibum was missing… and Heechul just appeared near the end of Sorry Sorry… >.<
and meanwhile.. Girl's Generation is still rocking the charts and just made their 9th consecutive win on Music Bank!! and its fun to hear ELF supporting the girls too… and SM Love always gets me… i want to see more interactions!!! how about a collab?? ^—-^ and Tiffany said "Listen Shawty Shawty Shawty… Super Junior's back!"… and then the encore was fun!!! Kangin and Donghae were shouting "So Nyuh Shi Dae!" and Jessica said "Super Junior!" and i see ELF giving thuimbs up to the SM artists which is love!!! they're finally warming up to the girls and hopefully, the girls will have lesser antis from now on… then Heechul was dancing to Gee!! ROFL! and the other guys started singing… oh.. it was so much love… ^———-^
FIRST: EUNHAE and DANCE INSTRUCTORS
this is one of the reasons why i like Super Junior a lot… and it's mostly spearheaded by EunHae pair.. obviously because of their crazy friendship and their crazy dance skills… aaaaarghhhh… and also because i miss Super Junior a LOT!!
this is the vid where they dance "Because of You"… eeeeeep… they're such good dancers!!
"MY LOVE"… but this is mostly the DIs since the two only showed up a little bit in the middle coz i don't think they know the steps for the dance yet… (and accdg to sources… it's Nick Bass and Trent Dickens, dance extraordinaires responsible for Justine Timberlake's 'My Love' choreography… omgeee… SM, i praise you for making friends with these two… they're awesome choreographers!!)
NEXT: DBSK and SMAP collaboration of Purple Line and Doushite…
seriously… it's weird to see the hand movements in Doushite and i even think that the dong bang boys are fighting the urge to laugh at what they're doing… and it's nice to see SMAP dance to Purple Line… hmm… but they're like, the counterpart of H.O.T. (korean boyband of the 90's), right? or not? anyway, just watch the perf, i think the vocals for Doushite is flawless and the best live ever, except for the fact that they added the rough voices of SMAP, and some of them don't sync so well.. but overall, it's good.. ^-^
Yes, i know!!! omgeeee…. as;lkfdjsa;lkgj;dlfajgjsdhgldhga… it's Super Junior's THIRD album!!! and it will be released next week!! waaaaaaaaaah!! but noooo… i don't want to be hasty and buy it immediately.. we all know what will happen after a few months… SM will release the REPACKAGED album!!! so.. i think i'll wait for that… (but buying the latest album won't hurt… eeeeeeeeep… i should really make up my mind FAST!) haaaay… but their comeback perf hasn't been scheduled yet so i'll have to wait for that… credits to various people from soompi for the links… ^—–^
i seriously cried when i watched this performance.. Tiffany is still sitting in this perf since she sprained her ankle.. but their vocals are so amazing.. and they said that Taeyeon cried in this performance… i really love this song… waaaaaaaaaaaah!! I LOVE YOU MOMMY!!! ^———–^
i just watched Kara's first perf of Honey and i found it to be good.. though the steps are really really simple.. i think i will be hearing this song in my head later… Gyuri is still my fave! ^——–^
this is the MV teaser…
i'm seriously outdated with the kpop news… i dunno what SHINee is doing right now.. >.< but thank god i have subscribed to randy19972 and still be updated with their latest videos… which makes me kind of miss going to soompi but oh well… i have my studies to attend to.. but here's the latest cf which i find to be really cute!! and they're growing already!! they're hitting on girls now.. >.< CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!
Taemin's version:
Minho's version:
Love Triangle (Full) Version: omgeeeeeeeeeeeee!! i love this version!!!
ok now i will be spazzing because of the love triangle version!!!! wahahahahaha!!! i just watched it now and gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! oaishfoawhgopw;enl;bvkdsanvoaehoeap;snba!!! I was already all smiles when Taemin touched her hand.. and then giggling when Minho kissed her cheeks… and now im SPAZZING SO MUCH when Taemin suddenly got jealous and stood up from his table and got her and then led her out of the room…… waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! ;alsejhfgpoawhgpoareb! i just can't get over it… they looked so…. waaaaaaaaaaaaah!! cuteness much????? eeeeeeeeeeep… i know i'll keep on replaying this till later….

IT staffing ratios benchmarks should be checked each year against your own IT staffing ratios to be sure you still match up with current IT staffing trends. As important as it is to check industry specific IT staffing ratios benchmarks, you should also consider the cross-industry benchmarks because your industry may be lagging overall trends.
This is especially important if you have made more progress on virtualization than your peers, but maybe have not yet rightsized your IT staffing ratios to reflect the efficiency gains that virtualization brings. It is also important if you have been moving more applications to cloud services than the average organization in your industry, but have not yet adjusted your IT staffing ratios.
Here is one set of cross-industry IT staffing ratios benchmarks you can use as a one checkpoint against your own IT staffing ratios.

Words from DrainWorks'® Founder & Owner
Terry Cord, the owner, founder, and author of the plumber blog says DrainWorks® is a drain and plumbing company that is dedicated to delivering quality and professional plumbing service. Yet, he still considers DrainWorks® to be a customer-service company first.
Through over 20 years of hard work, DrainWorks® is confident that they have raised the bar for plumber and drain services in Toronto, having won the Consumer's Choice Gold Award Winner for Drain Service Excellence for 13 consecutive years up to 2013. The company is proud to be so highly regarded for their dedicated team of professional plumbers and drain cleaning technicians.
Book a Plumber or Drain Technician Now
DrainWorks® has a slightly different take when it comes to how they operate. Here's how it helps you, the customer:
- All their plumbers are full-time, salaried employees – meaning, they don't operate by commission. Thus, their goal is not to up-sell you, which can be an unpleasant situation when dealing with freelance or commission-based plumbers.
- In fact, the main goal of a DrainWorks plumber is to assure you are educated as a customer and fully-satisfied (if not more) with the level of service you receive. Their plumbers are always on time and fully prepared with what they call 'mobile warehouses' (their trucks) which have all the tools, pieces, and fixtures they need to be able to complete a job on the spot – unless your problem is truly unusual or the scope of work dictates a second visit.
- DrainWorks® plumbers are renowned for their cleanliness. They have little slippers they wear over their shoes when working in your home, and when they leave, they always leave your home exactly as they found it (or cleaner!).
- To be completely satisfied with the work you need done, you need a service-oriented company to solve your problem properly. DrainWorks® is that company.
- DrainWorks® is also a dedicated member of the community, donating their time and money to charity organizations such as the SickKids Foundation. Giving is part of their nature, and they have also been proud supporters and participators in the Easter Seals Telethon for the past several years.
DrainWorks® is all about respect to the customer, whether it be the way they explain the problem and your options, or show you clear, up-front pricing. Terry Cord guarantees that no one is going to work harder to earn your trust than DrainWorks®. Expect your expectations to be exceeded.

Wow, chic and elegant! One of Victoria's best looks, I really like this blouse and jacket.ReplyDelete
Victoria looks great here. Very elegant and timeless look.ReplyDelete
Love the jacket but not those pants. Maybe if they were a less looser on the bottom.ReplyDelete
Gorgeous and so elegant! Victoria looks like she was born to wear that Chanel jacket - it's stunning on her.ReplyDelete
Very elegant (although I would also have preferred the pants to be slimmer). So she raided her mum's wardrobe?ReplyDelete
And I am still regretting the return of the neck bow.😰Replies
She and her sister borrow from the Queen. I actually love the pants because they are lengthening; I like slim fit pants but they can make her look boxy.Delete
Me too - I think the wid-legged trousers are perfect for this short jacket. A beautiful silhouette. If she had tight trousers or cropped trousers, the whole look hade been unbalanced, and as if she had outgrown it (size-wise).Delete
At first I thought the chanel jacket with the bow blouse looked too matronly on Victoria, I was expecting a black skirt, but with the trousers it gets a modern twist.ReplyDelete
Love this look! Darker shoes and it would have been perfect.ReplyDelete
She looks elegant and chic with her timeless Chanel jacket. The trousers fit perfectly. I still think she really should get a good grip on her skin - even with makeup one can see the very poor state of it. Get a good dermatologist, she surely can afford itReplyDelete

My rug and my cabinet exterior are both made from recycled soda bottles. Many of my choices are fueled by my desire to live more environmentally friendly.
So, when I was shopping last week and the lady after me in line at the grocery store got my attention to say "You know, it's a small thing but you really should be using cloth bags!" it really pushed my buttons!
I felt a compulsion to explain, justify, make her realize that she had no idea who she was saying that to.
Of course I use cloth bags, most of the time. She was doing what we all do. She was making assumptions about me based on a small snippet of her experience of me.
One of the most powerful outcomes of practicing asking open-ended questions is that it provides a safeguard against assumptions we may be making. In coaching training we talk about "clean questions".
A truly clean, open-ended question has a few key qualities:
1. It truly is a legitimate question, not a suggestion pretending to be a question
It does not contain my opinion. (What do you think of starting the new year with a habit of cleaning your desk every Friday?" is not a clean open-ended question.)
2. It is judgment free
Ideally a clean question is asked in a way that does not illicit a defensive reaction. "Why" questions usually trigger a feeling of a need to justify or feel defensive. (E.g. Why do you think you leave things to the last minute?) Shaming and criticizing are not effective ways to motivate!
3. It is expansive
Making a question really "open" is a skill in itself. One of the easiest ways to practice this skill is to start with "what" or "how" instead of "when", "why" or "who". The more expansive the better if you are wanting the person to explore ideas openly.
When we make assumptions about others and communicate those to them, they have a number of choices. Explain. Justify. Get defensive. Give up. Shut down. Try to prove us wrong. Not much about these choices is positive.
When we refrain from including the assumption in our questions or interactions we allow for growth, exploration and encouragement so much more easily.
Where are you most tempted to communicate based on assumptions?
What new habit would you like to incorporate into your communication for 2018?
Whatever holiday celebrations look like for you, I sure hope you get refreshed and renewed!

the Garage was open again
I was thinking
that the Scala was way too big for that bill
No fair...
Really, really would like to go to this but live about 552 miles away, give or take. I'm really thinking of picking up sticks from this town and moving to 'the big smoke'. Anyone want a new flatmate....?
Boo. Hiss
we had to reschedule the event due to the routing going haywire and the scala wasn't available on the new date unforts but the garage is reopening in april so everyone is a winner! Supposedly it's had a total facelift now and I've heard rumours of a balcont area and the capcity has gone up to 600 now tooooooo - this i have to see.

Now, Lancelot is one of the characters I do know from the legends of Arthur and the Knights. However, it's a name, there have been so many tales of him that it's hard to know which, if any, are true!
We do know that he was French by birth, the son of King Ban of Benoic and his Queen Elaine (not Elaine of Carbonek). He was, in many people's eyes, the perfect Knight. Strong, brave, heroic, unswerving in his actions. He was also known as Lancelot du Lac because of his fostering in the other-worldly realm of The Lady of The Lake. He took over from Gawain as the Queen's Champion and fell in love with the same Queen, Guinevere. It was this romantic feelings that drove him to be away from Court. He couldn't betray his King, so he stays away from temptation to keep his, and his King's, honour.
Honour is something Lancelot prided himself on, so when he was tricked by Elaine of Carbonek, he went totally mad. That look a lot out of him, but he healed and went in search of the Holy Grail. Being surpassed by his own son and banished from Court probably didn't help him either and it is said that he died within hours of Guinevere's death.
He seems to know when trouble is afoot, like he has a sixth sense for it. He has a lot of strength, determination. However, his understanding of love is tainted, so if you're looking this week to deal with love, best not ask Lancelot. If however, you need the heroic skills to overcome an obstacle, foe, challenge, he's your man. He can stand shoulder to shoulder with you, or he can lead you into the greatest test and trials you're about to face. It depends on how best you need to answer the challenge of the week ahead.
What are your challenges for this week? Do you need such a warrior by your side? Or do need him to guide you? My suggestion is that you be as confident this week as this warrior is: call on him when you need him to either battle alongside you, or before you. Be heroic, fabulous and like Lancelot, fearless.Deck used is the Camelot Oracle by John Matthews, illustrated and (c) by Will Worthington.
