These are very important times, the public are standing
up to the three Ps - press, politics and the police.

It is striking that
Sir Paul has taken responsibility
and answered
questions about the appointment of the
Deputy Editor
of the News

whereas the Prime Minister still refuses to recognise
his misjudgement
and answer questions on the appointment of the

Sir Paul Stephenson resigns:
this is grave news for David Cameron
By Damian Thompson - Guardian - July 17th, 2011
The resignation of Sir Paul Stephenson, Commissioner of the Metropolitan
Police, is
a shocking blow to David Camerons credibility
as Prime Minister.
Theres a sense now of
a tidal wave of scandal surrounding the entire
British establishment
. The flood waters are slowly rising and it doesnt
seem theres a damn thing anyone can do about it.
Heres blogger Ian
putting into words
what many people are thinking:
I cant believe I am even writing this, but
it is no longer an impossibility
to imagine this scandal bringing down the Prime Minister or even the
OK, some of you reading this may think that last sentence is a deranged
ranting, and you may be right. Indeed, I hope you are. But Sir Paul
Stephenson launched a thinly veiled attack on David Cameron
in his
resignation statement and the Prime Minister is already on the ropes
about the propriety of his relationship with Andy Coulson.
This talk about the severely weakened position of the UK
prime minister David Cameron is right on the money.
Especially after news came out yesterday that Cameron
had been about to appoint someone else as his PR spin
doctor --but bowed to a pressure phone call from none
other than
Rebekah Brooks
, and instead gave the job
to former News Of The World Editor Andy Coulson.
It confirms that despite his holier-than-thou attitude
now to this scandal, Cameron was quite happy to
play ball with Murdoch:
Rebekah vetoed BBC man and told Cameron
he should give No10 job to Andy Coulson
By SIMON WALTERS - 16th July 2011
Disgraced former News International boss Rebekah Brooks intervened to persuade David Cameron to make ex-News of the World editor Andy Coulson his spin doctor, it was claimed last night.
She is understood to have urged Mr Cameron to scrap plans to give the job to a senior BBC journalist. Mr Cameron was told it should go to someone who was acceptable to News International.
The disclosure increases pressure on Mr Cameron over his close links to Mrs Brooks and the Murdoch empire.
It follows the revelation that Mr Coulson stayed at the Prime Ministers country residence, Chequers, two months after he was forced to quit as Downing Streets head of communications over the phone-hacking scandal.
Cameron met News International executives 26 times in 15 months
Mr Cameron had been on the brink of appointing the BBCs Guto Harri as his media chief when he was Opposition leader. Mr Harri and his family spent a weekend with the Camerons in 2007 to discuss the job offer.
However, it went to Mr Coulson after Mrs Brooks got involved, according to sources in the Tory party and at News International.
She is said to have told Mr Cameron that the post should go to Mr Coulson to strengthen links between the Tories and News International.
He had resigned a few months earlier as News of the World editor over the phone-hacking storm.
An individual intimately involved in Mr Coulsons recruitment said: Rebekah indicated the job should go to Andy. Cameron was told it should be someone acceptable to News International.
'The company was also desperate to find something for Andy after he took the rap when the phone hacking first became an issue. The approach was along the lines of, If you find something for Andy we will return the favour.........

Brooks reportedly figured she was merely meeting police
on a voluntary basis - but she was, in fact arrested.
Worth bearing in mind that by making a formal arrest
the police would also be able to carry out searches.

Sean Hoare was the unsung hero of the hacking scandal
and was key to renewed media coverage which directly
led to the hacking issue breakthrough
News of the World Phone Hacking
Whistleblower Found Dead
Death of Sean Hoare who was first named journalist to allege
Andy Coulson knew of hacking
being treated as
Amelia Hill, James Robinson, Caroline Davies
guardian.co.uk, Monday 18 July 2011 18.04 BST
Sean Hoare, the former News of the World showbiz reporter who was the first named journalist to allege Andy Coulson was aware of phone hacking by his staff, has been found dead, the Guardian has learned.
Hoare, who worked on the Sun and the News of the World with Coulson before being dismissed for drink and drugs problems, is said to have been
found dead at his Watford home
Hertfordshire police would not confirm his identity, but the force said in a statement: "At 10.40am today [Monday 18 July] police were called to Langley Road, Watford, following the concerns for welfare of a man who lives at an address on the street. Upon police and ambulance arrival at a property, the body of a man was found. The man was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after.
The death is currently being treated as unexplained, but not thought to be suspicious. Police investigations into this incident are ongoing.
Hoare first made his claims in a New York Times investigation into the phone-hacking allegations at the News of the World.
He told that newspaper that not only did Coulson know of the phone-hacking, but that he actively encouraged his staff to intercept the phone calls of celebrities in the pursuit of exclusives.
In a subsequent interview with the BBC he alleged that he was personally asked by his then-editor, Coulson, to tap into phones. In an interview with the PM programme he said Coulson's insistence that he didn't know about the practice was "a lie, it is simply a lie".
At the time a Downing Street spokeswoman said Coulson totally and utterly denied the allegations and said he had "never condoned the use of phone-hacking and nor do I have any recollection of incidences where phone-hacking took place".
Sean Hoare, a one-time close friend of Coulson's, told the New York Times the two men first worked together at the Sun, where, Hoare said, he played tape recordings of hacked messages for Coulson. At the News of the World, Hoare said he continued to inform Coulson of his activities. Coulson "actively encouraged me to do it," Hoare said.
In September last year he was interviewed under caution by police over his claims that the former Tory communications chief asked him to hack into phones when he was editor of the paper, but declined to make any comment.
Hoare emerged back into the spotlight last week, after he told the New York Times that reporters at the News of the World were able to use police technology to locate people using their mobile phone signals in exchange for payments to police officers.
He said journalists were able to use a technique called 'pinging' which measured the distance between mobile handsets and a number of phone masts to pinpoint its location.
Hoare gave further details about the use of 'pinging' to the Guardian last week. He described how reporters would ask a news desk executive to obtain the location of a target: "Within 15 to 30 minutes someone on the news desk would come back and say 'right that's where they are.'"
He said: "You'd just go to the news desk and they'd just come back to you. You don't ask any questions. You'd consider it a job done. The chain of command is one of absolute discipline and what's why I never bought into, like with Andy saying he wasn't aware of it and all that. That's bollocks."
He said he would stand by everything he had told the New York Times about 'pinging'. "I don't know how often it happened. That would be wrong of me. But if I had access as a humble reporter ."
He admitted he had had problems with drink and drugs and had been in rehab. "But that's irrelevant," he said. "There's more to come. This is not going to go away."
Hoare named a private investigator who he said had links with the News of the World, adding: "He may want to talk now because I think what you'll find now is a lot of people are going to want to cover their arse."
Speaking to another Guardian journalist's last week, Hoare repeatedly expressed the hope that the hacking scandal would lead to journalism in general being cleaned up and said he had decided to blow the whistle on the activities of some of his former News of the World colleagues with that aim in mind.
He also said he has been injured at a party the previous weekend while taking down a marquee erected for a children's party. He said he had broken his nose and badly injured his foot when a relative accidentally struck him with a heavy pole from the marquee.
Hoare also emphasised that he was not making any money from telling his story. Hoare, who has been treated for drug and alcohol problems, reminisced about partying with former pop stars and said he missed the days when he was able to go out on the town.

Twitter is going nuts on news
of the unexplained death of
Sean Hoare:
http://twitter.com//search/Sean Hoare
Hoare was disgusted at the whole Fleet St scene,
had the dirt on the whole mob, and would have sung
like a canary at the forthcoming judicial inquiry
-had he survived.
Nick Davies of the Guardian recounts:
Explaining why he had spoken out, he told me: "I want to right a wrong, lift the lid on it, the whole culture. I know, we all know, that the hacking and other stuff is endemic. Because there is so much intimidation. In the newsroom, you have people being fired, breaking down in tears, hitting the bottle."
He knew this very well, because he was himself a victim of the News of the World. As a showbusiness reporter, he had lived what he was happy to call a privileged life. But the reality had ruined his physical health: "I was paid to go out and take drugs with rock stars get drunk with them, take pills with them, take cocaine with them. It was so competitive. You are going to go beyond the call of duty. You are going to do things that no sane man would do. You're in a machine."
While it was happening, he loved it. He came from a working-class background of solid Arsenal supporters, always voted Labour, defined himself specifically as a "clause IV" socialist who still believed in public ownership of the means of production. But, working as a reporter, he suddenly found himself up to his elbows in drugs and delirium.
He rapidly arrived at the Sun's Bizarre column, then run by Coulson. He recalled: "There was a system on the Sun. We broke good stories. I had a good relationship with Andy.
He would let me do what I wanted as long as I brought in a story. The brief was, 'I don't give a fuck'
He was a born reporter. He could always find stories. And, unlike some of his nastier tabloid colleagues, he did not play the bully with his sources. He was naturally a warm, kind man, who could light up a lamp-post with his talk. From Bizarre, he moved to the Sunday People, under Neil Wallis, and then to the News of the World, where Andy Coulson had become deputy editor. And, persistently, he did as he was told and went out on the road with rock stars, befriending them, bingeing with them, pausing only to file his copy.
He made no secret of his massive ingestion of drugs. He told me how he used to start the day with "a rock star's breakfast" a line of cocaine and a Jack Daniels usually in the company of a journalist who now occupies a senior position at the Sun. He reckoned he was using three grammes of cocaine a day, spending about £1,000 a week. Plus endless alcohol. Looking back, he could see it had done him enormous damage. But at the time, as he recalled, most of his colleagues were doing it, too.
"Everyone got overconfident. We thought we could do coke, go to Brown's, sit in the Red Room with Paula Yates and Michael Hutchence. Everyone got a bit carried away."
It must have scared the rest of Fleet Street when he started talking he had bought, sold and snorted cocaine with some of the most powerful names in tabloid journalism.
One retains a senior position on the Daily Mirror.
"I last saw him in Little Havana," he recalled, "at three in the morning, on his hands and knees. He had lost his cocaine wrap. I said to him, 'This is not really the behaviour we expect of a senior journalist from a great Labour paper.' He said, 'Have you got any fucking drugs?'"
And the voicemail hacking was all part of the great game. The idea that it was a secret, or the work of some "rogue reporter", had him rocking in his chair: "Everyone was doing it. Everybody got a bit carried away with this power that they had. No one came close to catching us."
He would hack messages and delete them so the competition could not hear them
, or hack messages and swap them with mates on other papers....
Hoare spoke to the NY times back in September, 2010:
Sean Hoare
, a former reporter and onetime close friend of Coulsons, also
recalled discussing hacking. The two men first worked together at The Sun,
where, Hoare said, he played tape recordings of hacked messages for
Coulson. At News of the World, Hoare said he continued to inform Coulson
of his pursuits. Coulson actively encouraged me to do it, Hoare said.
Hoare said
he was fired during a period when he was struggling with drugs
and alcohol. He said he was now revealing his own use of the dark arts
which included breaking into the messages of celebrities like David and
Victoria Beckham because it was unfair for the paper to pin the blame
solely on [NotW Royal reporter] Goodman. Coulson declined to comment
for this article but has maintained that he was unaware of the hacking.
In recent days Hoare made
fresh allegations
in the NY Times
and spoke to the Guardian reiterating his assertion that News
of the World reporters could illegally buy the current location
of a target's cellphone by using 'pinging' to triangulate via the
cellphone network:
Senior journalists at the News of the World paid police officers to find celebrities or other people they wanted to write about by tracking their mobile phone signal, it was reported on Tuesday.
The technique, which was know as "pinging" in the paper's newsroom, pinpoints handsets by using mobile phone masts to measure the strength of their signal, according to the New York Times.
Its use normally has to be authorised by the police and security forces with the mobile phone networks on a case-by-case basis under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Ac
t (Ripa), in which a request signed by a senior police officer is sent to the network authorising the location of the phone.
Using those powers to locate individuals who were not the subject of a police surveillance or serious crime investigation would constitute a breach of Ripa - which was the basis for the jailing of the News of the World's royal editor Clive Goodman in 2007.
The New York Times quoted an anonymous senior Scotland Yard source who said it could have been carried out for the paper by a senior officer, or a more junior officer who persuaded a higher-ranking colleague to carry out the search on their behalf.
He said it would have constituted a "massive breach" of security.
The New York Times said Sean Hoare, a former reporter at the News of the World, had established the location of a contact in Scotland by using the technique.
Hoare said to the Guardian on Tuesday he had obtained the information through Greg Miskiw, a former news editor ahead of a trip to Scotland.
"If you were told to find someone you could go to the news desk, who would give Greg a piece of paper. Greg would sort it. It would cost £300," he said.
Hoare added "Within 15 minutes or half an hour he'd come back and whack it on the table and say: 'There you go'."
He said that he didn't know exactly how the information was obtained by he suspected it was from police officers.
The New York Times quoted another unnamed former News of the World reporter who told it: "I knew it could be done and that it was done."
"Pinging" uses real-time data from cellphone masts to locate phones. Within each mobile network a handful of people with maximum security clearance are allowed to process Ripa requests, which total about 1,000 across the four networks annually, and are audited annually by the interception of communications commissioner's office. Each of the 56 police forces in the UK will have a similarly small number of people authorised to send Ripa requests to the networks but that means there are around 200 people who could initiate requests. A source at a UK mobile network told the Guardian that it was "unthinkable" that one of their own team could have run a Ripa-style request without being spotted.
Pinging works on any mobile phone that is switched on, and relies on the fact that every few minutes the phone will try to contact mobile cell masts in the vicinity to determine which offers the best connection, to minimise the power needed when placing or receiving a call. A phone can ping a mast up to 35km away; since 2005, many masts have incorporated software that can calculate the approximate direction of the phone. Given the data from two masts, simple trigonometry will give its location to within a few hundred metres.
However real-time pinging requires access to the phone network's data stream, and is generally only used in terrorist cases or serious criminal investigations....

Little detail on Sean Hoare's death so far,
but it seems the police are investigating
it from the perspective of likely
Police were tonight probing the possibility that Mr Hoare
had killed
and said that his death was 'not thought to be suspicious'.
Police are investigating the death of Mr Hoare after his
body was found at his home in Watford, Hertfordshire
Within hours of Hoare's death,
a Daily Mail reporter seems to
have hit pay dirt.
Speaking to an
neighbor who fortunately
just happens to offer us a plausible excuse for "suicide"
and who simultaneously undermines Hoare's credibility:
Two police officers were on duty outside Mr Hoare's flat last night where curtains had been drawn.
One neighbour said Mr Hoare's personality had changed in the last few months.
The man, who did not want to be named
, said: 'I've known him on and off for about a year.
'We used to have a chat outside and a smoke and would talk about football. It is shocking he is no longer with us.
I feared the worst a couple of months ago. He wasn't looking in great shape physically. He was not his usual, bubbly, friendly self.
The neighbour said it was difficult to read Mr Hoare and at times '
hard to believe half of the things he said
The neighbour said when he asked how he was, Mr Hoare replied: 'Don't worry about me.'
Well that Daily Mail reporter
sure lucked out when he found
a neighbor of Hoare's!!
Now we can all furged-abou-did because we have it on
good authority that Hoare "
wasn't looking in great shape
and also
wasn't "his usual, bubbly, friendly self"
- besides
it being "
hard to believe half of the things he said
What do you mean it
a genuine neighbor??!
What do you mean it was a British Intelligence goon hanging
round in the street waiting for reporters to show up --so he
could steer them right on what happened??!
You goddamn conspiracy theorist!

The Guardian is reporting
that detectives are examining a computer,
paperwork and a phone discovered in bin in an underground car park
near Rebekah Brooks's west London home.
A spokesman for Mrs Brooks's husband, Charlie, claimed the bag
belonged to Mr Brooks and said
it may have been accidentally
put it the bin by a cleaner
The bag was
discovered at around 3pm and handed in to security,
who turned it over to police

Sean Hoare, Journalist -
Hat's off to you Sean.
Ultimately, a conscience was your only undoing.
Contrast the remarks of the
neighbor in the
Daily Mail above, with these accounts from 100% verifiable
neighbors in the Guardian:
None of these mention that Sean Hoare "wasn't looking in great
shape" or "wasn't his usual, bubbly, friendly self."
On Monday evening the curtains were drawn at his home, a first-floor apartment in a new-build block of flats.
A neighbour, Nicky Dormer
, who lives opposite, said three police cars and two ambulances arrived at the property at 11am.
Police left at about 3pm, shortly after a man and a woman, believed to be grieving relatives, arrived at the premises.
She and another neighbour described Hoare as a jovial man
who would often sit on his balcony, overlooking the entrance to the block, and talk to residents.
They said he lived in the block with his partner, a woman called Jo, who they believed had been away on holiday.
Neither had seen Hoare for a few days.
Paul Pritchard, 30, another neighbour
, said Sean Hoare was "
the most sociable" resident
, and they would regularly see him watering the communal front lawn or clearing out the bin shed.
"It is just such a shock. About a month ago he said he felt unwell and he said he went to the doctors for a checkup. Then
I saw him again and he seemed well
Note that Hoare had remarked
to his Guardian colleagues that:
There's more to come.
This is not going to go away."
Note also the comments in bold below
and realize how
downright dangerous
a bastard he was
- from the British
establishment point of view, that is:
Speaking to another Guardian journalist last week,
Hoare repeatedly
expressed the hope that the hacking scandal would lead to
journalism in
general being cleaned up
and said he had
decided to blow the whistle
the activities of some of his former News of the World colleagues
that aim in mind
He also said he had
been injured the previous weekend
while taking down
a marquee erected for a children's party. He said he had broken his nose
and badly injured his foot when a relative accidentally struck him with a
heavy pole from the marquee.

Dr. David Kelly & Journalist Sean Hoare -
Suicided on Same Date
July 18th,
Sean Hoare

dead of apparent suicide
July 18th,
Dr. David Kelly
, WMD Inspector found
dead of apparent suicide
Well How About That!
18th of July
for both Kelly, and now: Hoare.
Dr. Kelly
's suicide turned out to be
certain murder
Will Hoare's death prove the same?
Here's my
investigative article
about Kelly's murder/suicide - written 21st July, 2003:
Dr. David Kelly
21st July, 2003 by Fintan Dunne,
Editor gulufuture.com
It was absurdly easy to murder Dr. David Kelly.
His regular habit of walking through the quiet fields
to nearby Longworth Hill saw to that.
The killer was waiting there, amid the trees near the hilltop. As Kelly arrived he moved into plain sight, pretending to admire the view while reading a map.
He casually asked Dr. Kelly for directions. But once he got close, he sprayed a mist in the scientist's face. Kelly collapsed and was instantly unconscious.
With a fast deft movement, he slit Kelly's left wrist, standing well clear to avoid bloodstains on his own clothing. While the still unconscious Dr. Kelly bled to death, he pressed a packet of Co-proxamol, a prescription painkiller, into Kelly's right hand, then shook it onto the grass nearby.
The tablets were mere window dressing designed to enhance the suicide scenario.
As the post mortem would later confirm, Kelly died as a result of the massive hemorrhage.
There was no other choice.
In Washington,
had just made a tactical appeal to the judgment of history for his action in invading Iraq, as US politicians cheered him on.
Meanwhile, the BBC Board was living on borrowed time:
Dr Kelly was supposed to have been the joker in the pack that would end the long-running battle with the BBC. He was supposed to have knocked down Andrew Gilligans claims once and for all, allowing Mr Blair to head off to Washington with the affair all but finished.
The Scotsman, 19 July, 2003,
Prime Minister faces his biggest challenge
Kelly was clearly the BBC source for Gilligan's story on the "sexing-up" of evidence of Iraqi WMD.
Soon Alistair Campbell would no doubt claim Gilligan exaggerated Kelly's comments and the BBC had backed him in a lie by claiming their source was in the intelligence services.
Tony Blair would then piously condemn sloppy journalism and insist his Iraq dossier was soundly based overall
. As he had done in Washington, he would appeal again to the court of history to judge of his actions.
The campaign to oust Blair would be over.
That outcome was preventable. By murdering Dr. Kelly.

Raw oatmeal recipe

Recipe Directions
- 1. OPTIONAL TO SOFTEN: The night before, throw the water, raisins and then the steel cut oats into your blender. Let them sit overnight.
- 2. In the morning, start your blender (and if you didn't soak the night before, throw the water, raisins and then the steel cut oats into your blender). While the water and oats are blending, chop the apple and then add it to the blender, too.
- 3. Continue blending until the oatmeal is a nice, smooth texture.
- 4. Eat! I love to top this oatmeal with more whole raisins and a sprinkle of cinnamon. This recipe for raw oatmeal makes for a very filling breakfast.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The RawtarianIn the morning, my raw food breakfast is almost always either fresh fruit, a green smoothie, or--my favourite--raw oatmeal.
This recipe does take a bit of preparation because it should be soaked overnight, but, with only a few ingredients, it's so easy! (PS: You can do it without soaking but it won't be as smooth)
If you click on this photo you can see the high-resolution version, which shows you how smooth and creamy this oatmeal is.
All this without "cooking" anything.
Of course, like any good oatmeal, top this recipe with fruit or whatever suits your fancy!
PS: It has recently come to my attention that the rawness of steel cut oats and even oat groats in this recipe is disputed! Check out this discussion on the raw nature of oats.

Dorothy Dukes's Review
Raw oatmeal recipe
Made this and loved it! I think I'll skip the blending next time as it's very smooth.
Could there be a typo on the ingredients? I was preparing to soak my oats tonight to try this for tomorrow and I noticed the cooking directions on my steel-cut oats are 1 cup oats to 4 cups water for 4 servings. Should the ingredients be 1/4 cup oats instead of 1 1/4 cup for 1 serving? Thanks.
Janice DeWalt's Review
Raw oatmeal recipe
All of these recipes look so very good. There is not a recipe of yours that I have tried and did not love. I am so excited to try them all. Thank you so very, very much for your generosity.
i've never heard of steel cut oats. I have jumbo oats, is there a big difference. I'll start on them and then look for steel cut oats then.
Sounds good! I enjoy the coarse texture of steel cut and enjoy mine after an overnight soak:)
This looks delicious! I'd love to try this with some of our sprouted groats- especially the comment about the "oatmeal hot chocolate"! Yum! Montana Gluten Free Processors produces raw oat groats and raw oatmeal that hasn't been steamed, steeped, or heated. Plus, our oats are higher in protein than conventional oats! If you have any questions regarding the "rawness" of oats, please feel free to reach out. We'd love to help educate raw foodies about all the benefits of truly raw oatmeal :)
On the other hand... I was emptying the extra oatmeal out of the blender and some was stuck at the bottom, so I put some water in and whizzed to clear it out, and was struck by inspiration - added a couple of teaspoons of raw cacao powder and some honey, whizzed again until the jug felt warm and lo and behold! Creamy, frothy raw 'hot' chocolate! Every cloud....

Raw oatmeal recipe
Oh dear, Is everyone going to hate me for only rating this 3 stars? Usually I love your recipes, Laura-Jane, but for me, this was too sticky and gloopy. The taste and creamy quality were fine, just the texture wasn't right (for my taste) I think I'll try it again with less oats and more apple - I really would love to love this!
I wonder if it would work without blending? I mean, let the oats soak in the liquid and just eat it without whipping it all up? Just a thought. I love raw oatmeal. I am going to try this one tomorrow and was wondering from the picture about the texture of it. I usually just use raw oatmeal (not the steel cut but the regular flakes) and soak it overnight in water then blend it just enough but not all the way and add banana slices, cinnamon, a few almond slivers, and almond milk to it. Perhaps it's just the type of oats that you are working with, Jeni.
Jeni, yours is a good way too, but keep in mind the steel cut oats are much more nutritious.
it works. you can eat it without whipping it. i soak the oats in water over night and i eat it with honey, cinnamon and anise.
Hi Lisa, I had the same thought. I have used regular oatmeal the same way you do, soaking overnight in water, then adding fresh fruit etc. in the morning. Done that for years and I love it too. But this time I was using the steel cut oats and have the coarse cut variety, so I followed Laura-Jane's recipe. I'll try soaking the steel-cut ones and see how that goes. :-)

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
So, I spend time on my Bronson, a BMC team elite and a couple different Time road bikes. Best ride, bar none, is the Bronson. I'm not setting any personal best times on the climb, but my happiness quotient is always maxed, and I am shredding the downhills. Don't get me wrong--the bike does climb well, just not as well as a hardtail that weighs 5 pounds less, although when you hit some real technical stuff, the Bronson seems to iron it out like a dress shirt. As long as you supply constant power, this bike will crush almost anything. When you're ready to point the bike downhill, wow. It flies. I'm not a downhill rider, but the Bronson's pretty much a magic carpet on the way down. And I have to give props to Santa Cruz for making the best looking bike ever. With Enve everything and full XTR . . . WOW. I mean, roadies in the shop have to drool (and they do). Killer bike; if you can afford it, there's no buyer's remorse.
Super fast, fun bike!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Bought this bike December 2013, in anticipation of getting back into mountain biking after years on the road. Call it a birthday present to me.
I considered the various shapes and sizes. I've owned numerous mountain bikes over the years. From several years prior, I had memories of feeling like my Turner 29er felt like a cruise liner trying to navigate switchbacks, but i also remembered how it handled obstacles on the straightaway. I'm 6'4", so I knew it had to be 29" or 27.5".
I read about the Bronson on a couple review sites. It sounded intriguing. I bought one, and I have not been disappointed. First of all, the bike looks killer. I opted for the black and orange Halloween surprise. It gets plenty of attention (although not as much as the tennis ball special, no doubt). More importantly, the bike flies. The suspension is tight on the climbs and the descents. I don't bother making any adjustments. All in, I love it; this bike has made a mountain biker out of me once again. I'm leaning towards taking this bad boy to Leadville this year. I think it will do just fine.

Cain returns to oppose Mets' rolling Niese
Giants right-hander coming off DL for opener of 10-game homestand
The rich get richer Friday.
Owners of baseball's best record at 39-21, the Giants are set to regain the services of right-hander Matt Cain on Friday night. The three-time All-Star returns to the mound recovered from a strained right hamstring that caused him to miss two starts, further bolstering a staff that boasts the league's third-lowest team ERA.
On the heels of a seven-game Midwestern road trip that saw the Giants go 5-2 against the Cardinals and Reds, Friday night's matchup against the visiting New York Mets opens a 10-game, 10-day homestand for the Giants, who have dominated inside AT&T Park this season. Their 19-9 home record is tops in the bigs.
Manager Bruce Bochy said Wednesday that Cain was "good to go" for Friday night's start, following Cain's 70-pitch bullpen session early in the week.
Cain, 29, was injured May 21 when he pitched three hitless innings at Colorado. That injury forced him onto the 15-day disabled list for the second time this season. He was sidelined in late April with a cut on the tip of his right index finger.
Having missed four starts during his stints on the DL, Cain is 1-3 with a 3.66 ERA in eight starts this season. He's 5-5 with a 3.57 ERA in 12 career starts against the Mets.
He'll be opposed on the mound by lefty Jon Niese.
Through 11 starts, the 27-year-old is having a career season, with just a 3-3 record but a career-low ERA of 2.69 through 70 1/3 innings. His 1.1180 WHIP (walks plus hits per inning pitched) stands as the second-best mark of his career.
Niese has been a consistent force in New York's rotation, throwing six-plus innings in eight of his 11 starts. He has yet to allow more than three earned runs in an outing this season.
Niese is 1-2 with a 2.96 ERA in five career appearances [four starts] against the Giants. He last faced the Giants last September, allowing just two earned runs in seven innings.
Giants: Niese previously not too nice to Giants hitters
Driving to the park is easier for a batter on days when he knows he has the opposing starting pitcher's number. Friday won't be one of those days for many Giants.
That's because the hitters on San Francisco's roster have hit a combined .244 (22-for-90) against the left-hander during the last five seasons.
San Francisco outfielder Hunter Pence rues his at-bats against Niese, hitting a woeful .115 (3-for-26).
"He's just a great pitcher," Pence said. "He has a good fastball, a good curve, a good changeup. He just has good stuff."
Other Giants regulars who have struggled against Niese are Michael Morse at .200 (3-for-15) and Angel Pagan at .125 (1-for-8).
Mets: Shortstops one-upping each other
On Wednesday, two days after Wilmer Flores hit a grand slam against the Phillies, Ruben Tejada hit his second home run in a week.
After the Mets promoted Flores early last month to take Tejada's starting shortstop job, both players have been performing at a high level, giving manager Terry Collins a welcome problem to grapple with on a daily basis: who to start at short?
So far, Collins sees no reason to give the job to one or the other, preferring to use the opportunity to give both regular at-bats and regular rest.
"I hope they keep swinging the way they're swinging," Collins said. "[I can] give them a day off, keep them fresh."
Collins also lauded Flores' defensive work, which most scouts perceived as a significant weakness heading into the season.
Worth noting
• Giants bench coach Ron Wotus had to leave the club Thursday to attend to a family matter. Bochy said Wotus would rejoin the club Friday in San Francisco.
• Home runs from Brandon Crawford and Michael Morse on Thursday upped the Giants' tally to 68 on the season. Through June 5 last season, the Giants had hit 43; they finished with 107 dingers.
• The end of Dillon Gee's time on the disabled list with a lat strain is not yet in sight. He was shut down after suffering a setback late in May, unable to throw a bullpen session due to discomfort. Gee's last start was May 10.
"Obviously it was more than we thought it was going to be," Collins said. "When his body tells him it's time and he's OK, he'll resume. When that is, I don't know that anybody knows for sure."

You may have noticed that the trailers for "Gangster Squad" are peppered with hyperbolic review quotes provided by syndicated critics of dubious merit. They're a sure sign of a movie's mediocrity, and my favorite blurb hypes "Gangster Squad" as "the best gangster film of the decade!!" Man, what a drag. If that's true, the next seven years are going to be lousy for the world's favorite crime genre.
To be fair, this tawdry dose of pulp fiction ("inspired by real events") is not a complete waste of time. It offers the marginal pleasure of an all-star cast slumming their way through a thicket of routine plotting, almost laughable dialogue and the constant blaze of tommy guns. The latter also resulted in a postponed release: A scene involving machine guns in a movie theater was cut after last year's tragic "The Dark Knight Rises" multiplex killings in Aurora, Colorado, and other scenes were rewritten and re-shot to fill gaps in the narrative.
Not that it mattered much. No amount of tinkering could repair the film's tonal inconsistencies. A comedy specialist stepping into semi-dramatic territory, director Ruben Fleischer scored a modest hit with 2009's giddy, satirical "Zombieland" (he is currently filming a sequel), and delivered plenty of laughs on TV, directing segments of HBO's "Funny or Die Presents" and working with Jimmy Kimmel, Zach Galifianakis, Michael Cera and Will Ferrell, among others.
In "Gangster Squad," however, Fleischer seems out of his element. His film has the familiar look and feel of a gangster classic, with plenty of dark, burnished hardwoods, shiny vintage cars and meticulous attention to period details of costume, architecture and interior design. Cinematographer Dion Beebe, who earned an Oscar for his work on "Memoirs of a Geisha" (and was nominated for "Chicago"), bathes "Gangster Squad" in a rich palette of smoky shadows and dazzling night-life opulence. Yet for all the production's post-war gloss and moody atmosphere, you still get the sense that Fleischer is barely suppressing an urge to spoof the genre.
It's late 1949, and as the holidays approach, former-boxer-turned-Chicago-mobster Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) has expanded Meyer Lansky's Jewish mafia to Los Angeles, where's he's planning to monopolize drugs and gambling and squeeze his bosses out of the equation. He means business, too: As the movie opens, Cohen sends a message to Chicago by chaining one of Lansky's soldiers between two revving sedans and pulling him apart like a bloody croissant.
Early on, there's still hope that "Gangster Squad" might at least aspire to the crackling volatility of "L.A. Confidential," the brash brutality of "Mulholland Falls," the verbal and visual eloquence of "Miller's Crossing" or the classy opulence of Barry Levinson's "Bugsy" (partially set in nearly the the same place and time, and featuring Harvey Keitel as Cohen). That's just wishful thinking. If anything, "Gangster Squad" is an "Untouchables" wanna-be, as Irish LAPD sergeant John O'Mara (Josh Brolin) is given carte blanche orders by incorruptible LAPD Chief Parker (Nick Nolte) to recruit an off-the-books squad of crimefighters to topple Cohen's empire without the benefit of a David Mamet screenplay.
It's all good fun at first, even when it's obvious that each of these stock characters is introduced with a single attribute that shallowly defines them for the rest of the movie. O'Mara is a no-nonsense strategist with a punishing right hook and a supportive, pregnant wife (Mireille Enos, from AMC's "The Killing") waiting for him at home. Sgt. Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling) is a ladies' man who's reluctant to get involved until he meets Cohen's red-dressed moll Grace (Emma Stone), who wonders "where've you been all my miserable life?" –- a line Stone nearly chokes on as her chemistry with Gosling in "Crazy Stupid Love" curdles into lukewarm mush.
Grizzled officer Max Kennard (Robert Patrick) is a legendary sharpshooter; his young Mexican partner Navidad Ramirez (Michael Peña) drives a mean chase car; and officer Conway Keller (Giovanni Ribisi) is an expert in post-war surveillance -- a techie version of Charles Martin Smith's ill-fated accountant from "The Untouchables." Each of them gets a moment to shine, usually accompanied by a crowd-pleasing quip or throwaway sight gag.
Those scenes benefit from Fleischer's comedic sensibility, but whenever "Gangster Squad" gets down to the serious business of cutthroats and killers, its jarring shifts from light humor to heavy bloodshed reflect the movie's tonal identity crisis. We're ultimately left with a few action highlights (including a technically impressive car chase) and some dazzling recreations of vintage Hollywood landmarks, including Slapsy Maxie's nightclub (a frequent Cohen hangout) and the infamous Garden of Allah apartment complex.
We're also treated to occasional (muzzle-) flashes of brilliance from Penn. His Cohen is like a corked-up volcano, always on the verge of eruption. At one point, Cohen grows so murderously vile that evil has contorted his visage. Penn, at 52, has acquired facial cracks and crevices that deepen his formidable presence, and his already heavy eyelids look like they're almost melting over Cohen's cold, unforgiving gaze.
So while the cast has a field day, Fleischer seems content to equate flashiness with quality, employing such visual tricks as variable slow-motion when bullets and bodies are flying, and digital wizardry designed to give explosions and other pyrotechnics a dynamic, almost three-dimensional life of their own. And while the ultra-slow-mo image of a Christmas tree ornament shattering in a hail of bullets may look pretty cool for a few seconds, it's merely a brief distraction from the shortcomings of Will Beall's screenplay, adapted (loosely, we can assume) from the book of the same title by Paul Leiberman.
Beall's script reaches its nadir, oddly enough, with Brolin's closing narration, which is so sentimentally sappy that it deservedly drew groans from a preview audience. By the time it fades to black, "Gangster Squad" has squandered most of its early promise. Here's a telling comparison: I recently happened upon a showing of "Mobsters," the Christian Slater vehicle that's been a cable-TV staple since its release in 1991. Packed with B- and C-list costars like Richard Greico and Costas Mandylor, it's still a marginally better film than "Gangster Squad," and that's faint praise indeed.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

O's need Saunders to again keep season alive
This is a truly significant responsibility, for Saunders or anybody else. But less than a week ago, this same situation presented itself for Saunders and the Baltimore club, and both prospered.
The left-hander had the starting assignment for the Orioles against the defending American League champion Texas Rangers in the AL Wild Card playoff game at Texas, where Saunders had never won a game.
No problem. Saunders, who had come to the Orioles from the Arizona Diamondbacks in a late-August trade, pitched superbly against a truly difficult Texas lineup. The left-hander worked 5 2/3 innings, giving up just one run on six hits with one walk and four strikeouts to earn the victory and keep Baltimore's season alive.
Saunders is being asked to do that again on Thursday night with the Orioles down, 2-1, in their AL Division Series matchup with the New York Yankees. Game 4 will be telecast by TBS at 7:30 p.m. ET on Thursday.
The Orioles had more than one option for this assignment. They were also considering Chris Tillman, who pitched well for Baltimore during the regular season, going 9-3 with a 2.93 ERA in 15 starts.
Saunders will face Phil Hughes, an undoubtedly talented pitcher, but one whose work has not yet settled into a comfortable pattern of consistent success. It was telling that when Hughes was asked on Wednesday how to characterize his 2012 season, he focused on his ability to bounce back from inadequate starts.
"Well, I was happy with the way I was able to rebound from some tough starts, and that was something that we really emphasized, just not letting things snowball and get out of control when they were bad," Hughes said.
"Obviously, some things I was disappointed with. I had a bad start to the season, had some bad starts mixed in. But looking at the positives, I felt like I was able to get the ball every five days and give us a chance to win as much as I could. I had kind of an up-and-down season, but you can't really look at the regular season when it comes to times like this."
The Yankees, with the series lead, won't be under the same pressure the Orioles will face in Game 4, but their choice of Hughes for this start does represent a vote of confidence. New York could have chosen to pitch CC Sabathia on short rest for Game 4, but a loss on Thursday night might have tempted the club to turn to Andy Pettitte on short rest for Friday's Game 5. Manager Joe Girardi said that with Pettitte at age 40 and already coming back from a left fibula injury, that would not be a viable option.
Orioles: Not an easy decision
As of Wednesday afternoon, Saunders and Tillman were tied in the race for Baltimore's Game 4 start. At a pregame media session for the Game 4 starters, Orioles manager Buck Showalter sent both pitchers to meet with reporters. When reporters asked which one was starting Game 4, Saunders smiled and said: "We were kind of hoping you would tell us."
By Wednesday night, after a 3-2 loss in 12 innings, Showalter had made the decision in favor of Saunders. This was not surprising, considering that Saunders has much more Major League experience than Tillman and is coming off the pressure-packed but successful performance against Texas.
"We feel good about both of them," Showalter said. "Joe, obviously, is coming off a real good start in a pressure situation, a game that we had to win, and he'll find himself back in that spot again. Joe is a guy that gives you a chance to win, and he'll compete. We feel good with him out there."
Yankees: All eyes on A-Rod
One big question for the Yankees will be the role of Alex Rodriguez for Game 4. Girardi did the unprecedented in Game 3, lifting A-Rod for pinch-hitter Raul Ibanez with one out in the ninth and the Yankees down, 2-1. Ibanez homered to tie the game, then homered again in the 12th inning to win it.
Rodriguez responded positively to this otherwise surprising development, saying all that mattered to him was what was best for the team. Girardi declined to speculate about what his lineup would look like on Thursday night.
"Let me sleep on this one," Girardi said.
The presence of the left-handed Saunders on the mound for Baltimore would appear to increase the chances that Rodriguez will be back in the Yankees' starting lineup.
Worth noting
Ibanez became the first player in postseason history to hit a home run in the ninth inning and extra innings of the same game, and he's the first Yankees player to hit a game-tying home run in the ninth inning or later of a postseason game since Rodriguez in 2009.
The only extra-innings games the Orioles have lost this season have come against the Yankees. The O's are 0-3 against New York in extra innings, having lost Game 3 of the ALDS, 3-2, on Wednesday night and games in Baltimore on April 10 and 11. Those were the Orioles' first two extra-innings games of the season. Aside from those losses and the Game 3 defeat, the O's have won all 16 of their other extra-innings games in 2012.

Nationals right-hander Dan Haren will return to the mound for Monday's series opener against the Phillies -- the only Major League team he has never beaten -- while hoping that two weeks of rest was the answer to his early-season struggles.
Haren, who had been sidelined for the past two weeks while dealing with right shoulder inflammation, will toe the rubber for the first time since June 22. The righty was placed on the disabled list following that outing, which lasted just 3 2/3 innings and resulted in Haren's sixth straight loss. He is just 4-9 with a 6.15 ERA in 16 starts.
Despite not making any rehab appearances, Haren completed a three-inning simulated game on Wednesday, a bullpen session on Saturday and played long toss on Sunday. With no issues in any of those activities, Haren's return was bumped up to Monday in place of scheduled starter Ross Detwiler, who in turn took Haren's place on the DL over the weekend.
"With the rest, I was going to feel fresh. Hopefully that's what I needed to get back doing some good things in helping the ballclub," Haren said after last week's simulated game. "I'm getting the ball to where I usually do. Before, the last couple of games, I always long tossed between starts and before the game, and it was a struggle to get the ball there. My arm is moving faster."
For Haren, his return also comes just in time to give him his third chance this season -- and seventh overall -- to defeat Philadelphia. Haren, who will be countered by former Nationals starter John Lannan, is 0-3 with a 5.82 ERA in six career starts against the Phillies.
Haren will look to get off the schneid in Monday's series opener, while also helping the Nats extend their winning streak. Washington is coming off its first sweep since April 9-11 and has won four straight, one shy of its season high.
"I mean, we've had some bumps in the road with injuries and stuff, but the character and makeup of this club is great," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "Even through the rough times, I haven't seen anybody getting overly concerned. Everybody's starting to swing the bats and that's been a big concern, [and] the bullpen's straightened out."
Nationals: Detwiler returns to DL
Instead of starting Monday's series opener as expected, Detwiler finds himself in the midst of his second stint on the disabled list this season.
Detwiler, who missed nearly a month earlier this year with a strained oblique, was placed on the DL this time around after experiencing discomfort in his back during a bullpen session on Saturday. Detwiler is 2-7 with a 4.04 ERA in 13 starts this season, but 0-3 with a 6.31 ERA since returning from his first DL trip on June 13.
"He didn't look the same in his last start, either," Johnson said. "Hopefully if he has to miss a couple starts, he can get some more time off with the [All-Star] break. We just want him back 100 percent."
Phillies: Lannan looking for consistency
Facing his former club for the second time in three weeks, Lannan will be hoping to bounce back from a rough outing Wednesday against the Pirates.
The lefty conceded a season-high 11 hits, while allowing four runs, over just five innings of work. Since returning from the DL on June 17, Lannan is 1-2 with a 4.50 ERA, to go along with 14 strikeouts and eight walks over four starts.
That June 17 outing was also Lannan's first against the Nationals, with whom he spent his first six Major League seasons. He allowed two runs off six hits over five innings and settled for a no-decision against his former club.
Worth noting
• Nationals first baseman Adam LaRoche is 0-for-12 with five strikeouts lifetime against Lannan.

Feldman, Cubs seek series split against Lynn, Cards
St. Louis enters four-game finale with best record in Majors
As a catcher, Welington Castillo works hard to prepare for every new opponent. When facing the Cardinals, however, the Cubs backstop says he needs to be a bit more studious than usual.
"If we make mistakes, they hit the mistakes," Castillo said. "That's what makes them good. They don't miss too many mistakes. They take advantage of every mistake we make. They play the game the right way -- I'm not saying we don't. I agree with [Jeff] Samardzija. It's hard to get through that lineup. Even the guys who come off the bench, they take advantage of every mistake."
Looking for a split in the finale of a four-game series on Thursday, it's Scott Feldman (6-5, 3.05 ERA) facing the Cards, who boast the Majors' best record and the National League's top offense in terms of runs and runs per game.
The right-hander tossed one of his best outings of the season against the Mets his last time out, going seven innings and allowing just one run on two hits to earn the victory. After a bit of a slow start, Feldman has pitched into the sixth in each of his past 10 starts.
While the Cubs certainly respect the Cardinals, Castillo was quick to point out that it doesn't mean they're tentative when it comes to playing their first-place arch-nemesis.
"We can't play them with any fear," Castillo said. "We just have to go and play and make our pitches."
Opposite Feldman will be right-hander Lance Lynn, who allowed a career-high seven runs against the Marlins on Saturday in his last outing. Still, Lynn earned a victory in the game and improved his record to 9-1 on the season to go with his 3.56 ERA.
Lynn has won eight straight decisions at Busch Stadium, and he is 5-0 with a 2.54 ERA at home this year. The Cardinals have consistently provided him with solid support. His 6.9 runs of support per game are the most for any St. Louis starter this season.
The Cardinals' offense gets a boost with the return of David Freese after he received a night off Wednesday. Freese is batting .359 in June and has hits in 24 of his past 26 games.
Cubs: No hard feelings from slide
Shane Robinson's slide that resulted in a game-ending interference call Tuesday left no hard feelings in the Cubs clubhouse on Wednesday.
"I hope our players would do the same thing in the same situation," manager Dale Sveum said. "You know the game's over. He just slid too far away from the bag."
After the game Tuesday, Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro said: "I couldn't throw the ball because he tried to kill me."
Cardinals: MVP case for Molina
Yadier Molina's solid play on both sides of the ball has the catcher squarely in the early NL MVP Award discussion.
"He's turned himself into one of the better hitters in the game," Sveum said. "The adjustments you've seen Molina make, whether it's different stances, different approaches and all that -- that's what it takes sometimes. That's why Molina is, if not right now, the MVP of the league. Each year, he gets better and better as a hitter."
Molina finished fourth in the NL voting last season and is hitting .365 this year with 41 RBIs. He launched a go-ahead two-run homer Wednesday night, and the Cards never looked back.
Worth noting
• Anthony Rizzo and Alfonso Soriano have matching .375 lifetime batting averages against Lynn. Darwin Barney, meanwhile, has just one hit in 12 at-bats against the right-hander.
• The Cubs have a winning record against teams outside their division this year at 20-18. They're just 9-23 against NL Central clubs, the worst record by any team against its own division.
• Cardinals utility man Ty Wigginton has seven hits in 14 lifetime at-bats against Feldman.

Modular Home Consultant - Kent Stichter
Hello, I am Kent Stichter, your Modular Home Consultant for Findlay, OH. If you have any questions, please call me toll free! — 877-419-9858
How to Begin on A Modular Home
With modular construction, your new Findlay, OH dwelling will need essential and thoughtful preparation that should be carried out at the beginning of the project strategy. Your dwelling is going to comply with all local building codes but you'll still need to arrange for the border line locations, and obtain virtually all usual construction permits. On top of that, you must determine soil type and conditions, water table as well as frost line in an effort to create the design. The planning should include obtaining the real estate along with deciding the best place to set the structure on the site. As the property owner, you also need to create a plan for development of the perimeter foundation wall structure, which has to be perfectly aligned so as to support the modules upon arrival. One particular essential item of your program is to plan a 30-foot diameter space positioned near the perimeter foundation that is totally free of trees and wires that's perfectly level to be able to place the building crane utilized to set in place all of the components in position around the foundation.
The design of a new modular home will begin with establishing the Wind Zone, Thermal Zone and Roof Load Zone of the construction location. These have to be integrated within the layout from the beginning, as well as included in the engineering step in the plan. You will want designs for your attached garage areas, verandas or outside patios since they are not an element of the modular home plan. is vital for you to list what you need to design for your residence so that it can be established that these can be incorporated in the design. There are no limits to the size of to the design using modular homes; presently there are layouts as large as 1500 to 3000 sq ft constructed in Thirty-two components, with the common range from 4,000 to 6,000 square feet within 10 to 12 components. Each and every design Express Modular sells are built in this way, including our log homes and our many green home options.
Prefab Home Construction Process
The development phase of a modular home begins with acquiring the title for the property, with no restrictions, plus acquiring all permits and approvals. Followed by your site structures including water wells, septic/sewer, water lines and electric power are put in place, followed by installing the perimeter footing that will support the components. All of these items need to be finished prior to building begins at the module production site, where modules are made within an indoor setting with a crew of skilled specialists, with no weather slow downs or building location material losses in comparison with traditional construction. The last building stage would be to prepare for installation of the thirty-foot zone that is completely level which is then utilized for the staging area for the construction crane equipment used to place all of the components on the perimeter footing.
Installation of The New Structure
When the construction of your modules is completed and they are brought to your property location we start the crucial phase of the assembly - the setting of your components by the assembly team utilizing construction crane equipment. As soon as they are positioned, the final stage of your set up would be the completing the installation of utilities, painting, installing the floors, as well as the installation of the home appliances. Cleaning top to bottom and testing ensures all things are in excellent working order and the last home inspections and occupancy permits will be secured. Usually, the external perimeter drive way, patios, walks along with patio decking are set up to complete the work and the house is ready for moving in.
Building Green
Express Modular properties are constructed "greener" and are even more energy-efficient compared to conventional residences of the past. All the insulating material as well as other supplies employed in manufacturing are manufactured in the home right from inception. Energy-efficient appliances seem to be common and, using upgrades,your home will become even more eco-friendly. The climate-control production setting and re-cycled supplies offer further possibilities for an environmentally friendly abode. Using low flow fixtures on faucets, shower heads and sinks, your totally green modular home environment is completed.
Approximately fifty green home labeling programs around the country offer interesting and important aspects to building green. Check them out to see if one can help provide you more information.

Epiglottitis is severe swelling of the epiglottis. The epiglottis is a flap-like tissue located in the throat. During swallowing, the epiglottis folds over the windpipe and vocal chords to prevent food and liquids from entering the lungs. Swelling can quickly seal off the airway and make breathing difficult.
Epiglottitis is rare and requires immediate medical attention. If you think you, your child, or someone you know has epiglottitis, go to the emergency room right away.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Factors that can cause epiglottitis include:
Epiglottitis spreads easily. It is passed much like the common cold , through droplets released when sneezing and coughing. Anyone can develop epiglottitis.
This condition is more common in:
Other factors that may increase your risk include:
Symptoms may include
Symptoms appear suddenly and worsen quickly.
When you arrive at the hospital, the doctor will first make sure you are able to breathe. After this is known, you will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. If you are not having trouble breathing, a mirror may be used to look down your throat.
Your bodily fluids and cells may be tested. This can be done with:
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
The doctor will first stabilize your airway and then give proper medication depending on the cause. You may also have other illnesses that need to be treated depending on the cause of the epiglottitis such as blood infections.
If you CAN breathe, you will be closely monitored in the intensive care unit.
If you CANNOT breathe, the options include:
After the airway is stabilized, you will be monitored and started on IV antibiotics. Antibiotics help kill the organism causing the infection and swelling. At first, a variety of antibiotics may be given if the identity of the germ is not yet known. After the laboratory test results are known, a specific antibiotic can be given.
After swelling decreases, the breathing tube can be removed. Usually, there are not any lasting side effects of epiglottitis, and the outlook is good.
Vaccination with the Hib vaccine is the only way to prevent epiglottitis. Currently, infants born in the US are given one of these vaccines at two months of age. Since vaccination began, adults have been at even lower risk of developing epiglottitis. If you have a weak immune system or are on medications that may make you more prone to illness, speak with your doctor about getting vaccinated.

A birth certificate error left a Georgia woman forced to prove she's female to get a driver's license.
Nakia Grimes, 37, told Atlanta TV station WAGA she was horrified when state workers told her she'd need a doctor's note verifying her sex because her birth certificate listed her as a man.
Grimes said she'd never looked that closely at the document, and had never noticed the error before.
"You only look at the name, the date and the year," she told WAGA. "I've never seen that."
State workers told her she'd need a pelvic exam and a note from her doctor verifying her "female parts" before they would renew her license.
Angry and upset, Grimes went to the media, who contacted state authorities.
The state eventually cleared up the matter by examining the birth certificate of her son, which listed Grimes as his mother, according to WAGA.
