Airlines rethink in-flight medical care
When a New York woman died aboard an American Airlines flight returning from Haiti last month, her death raised concerns among passengers about the level of medical treatment available at 30,000 feet.
An inquiry is still underway in the death of Carine Desir, 44, aboard American's Flight 896 on Feb. 22, but it has already prompted airlines and passengers to review the current protocol.
What happens if a passenger has a heart attack onboard? How well-equipped is the plane? What kind of training does the flight crew have?
Medical emergencies happen on planes more often than you might think. MedAire, a Phoenix company that provides cabin crews with medical advice, received 17,084 in-flight calls last year. Most were minor in nature, involving fainting or an upset stomach.
But 649 planes were diverted for medical reasons, and 97 people died onboard, says the company, which advises 74 commercial carriers, including Continental,
"We fly more than a quarter-million people a day on average, which would easily fit a medium-size city," said Tim Smith, a spokesman for American. "Just about anything that can happen on the ground can, and will, happen on an aircraft."
So how prepared are the airlines for medical emergencies? It depends on the carrier. The Federal Aviation Administration's rules are pretty thin: Planes are required to be equipped with a first-aid kit, a defibrillator and, for all but the smallest planes, an emergency medical kit that includes a stethoscope, needles, epinephrine, and an intravenous set.
But beyond being trained in basic CPR, and being drilled every 24 months on how to use a defibrillator, flight crews aren't required to know much more than where the medical equipment is kept. A 2006 FAA advisory states, "Flight attendants should not be expected to administer medications or to start IVs."
Candace Kolander, a flight attendant and the health coordinator at the Association of Flight Attendants, said: "Although we have the equipment onboard, the reality is we aren't trained as medical hospital personnel. In reality, it's minimal first aid."
Attendants can open a first-aid kit to dole out bandages, and they can administer oxygen, and use the defibrillator. But they are not supposed to use the stethoscope and syringes, or even administer aspirin without the direction of a medical professional. Rather, they are typically instructed to call upon medically trained volunteers from the cabin.
So, in the event that a medical crisis strikes miles up in the sky, passengers are generally at the mercy of who happens to be onboard.
"People think they have the same resources in the air as they do when they call 911, and it's just not that way," said Joan Sullivan Garrett, the founder of MedAire. "They're ignorant of the fact that there are many challenges of flying outside of their control."
What happens, for example, if a passenger experiences cardiac arrest? Getting the passenger to a hospital may seem like the obvious priority, but which hospital and how are tough questions: Should the plane be diverted to the nearest airport? Is that runway long enough? Is it faster to proceed to the planned destination? How urgent is the condition?
These weighty decisions are ultimately left up to the pilot.
Although the FAA doesn't require it, most US airlines contract with companies like MedAire or medical institutions like the Mayo Clinic for medical counsel from doctors on the ground for flight attendants and pilots albeit remotely. Some go further: American has its own in-house doctors who provide medical direction to flight crews.
But no matter how knowledgeable the doctor, the medical care is limited by distance.
"We're often getting the story told to us from the passenger, maybe to the flight attendant, maybe to us," said David W. Claypool, a medical director at the Mayo Clinic Medical Transport, which advises
Perhaps better medical judgment can be deployed before the plane takes off. For instance, if gate agents notice that a passenger in the boarding area is in distress - say, coughing uncontrollably or writhing in pain - they can alert their airline and consult with on-call medical professionals to determine whether the passenger poses a risk. A passenger with full-blown chicken pox, for example, may be denied boarding.
But there's a flip side to empowering flight crews to play the role of public health officials. Discrimination lawsuits, for example, have been threatened against airlines that ejected HIV passengers.
It's also generally up to the crew to make the difficult decision about what to do with a body in the event of a death onboard.
Some airlines offer more training and more medical equipment onboard than others. American, for example, has offered defibrillators onboard since 1997, long before the government required airlines to carry them. The airline said the defibrillators have saved 81 lives.
American also stocks additional medications that aren't required, including Valium, used for seizures and other conditions. And its flight attendants undergo recurrent performance drills in the proper use of defibrillators and CPR every year, instead of the FAA-required every 24 months.
Some airlines like Virgin America have hired MedAire to teach its crew not only basic CPR, but also altitude physiology lessons and how to handle common in-flight illnesses.
But international carriers seem to be leading the way with in-flight medical care. Lufthansa tested a so-called telemedicine system that transmits a passenger's vital signs, including blood oxygen levels and electrocardiograms, to doctors on the ground using the Internet. And at least one airline, Singapore, actually has a makeshift morgue on its Airbus 340-500s, which fly its longest routes, including an 18 1/2-hour flight from LA to Singapore. Each aircraft has a compartment where a corpse could be stored, if necessary.
But no matter how prepared an airline may be, passengers with health concerns should consult with their physician to determine the risks involved in flying.

Malcolm Stewart Sidelined With Illness
Lucas Oil/Troy Lee Designs/Honda rider Malcolm Stewart will miss this weekend's Millville National due to a severe case of dehydration that has affected his kidney function. This is the first race Stewart will miss since making his professional debut, and in a casual phone conversation yesterday, we were shocked to learn that Malcolm was actually in the hospital as we were chatting! Here's what our August issue cover boy had to say about what's going on with his health…
We were surprised when you said you were going to bed and couldn't talk last night at 9 because you were so tired…
Yeah, I've been really, really, tired for the last three weeks or so. Last night when you texted, I was literally laying in bed, wiped out and it wasn't even 8:00 p.m. here. I normally stay up pretty late, but recently, I've been falling asleep before it was even really dark outside.
So what exactly, is going on?
You know, they told me the name of the condition that I have, but I can't even pronounce it, much less remember it. Basically, it's like small particles of my muscles are shredding off and flowing through my bloodstream and getting trapped in my kidneys. My liver and kidneys are all packed up full of it, and they are starting to go into fail mode. This has been happening for the last month or two. These last three weeks at the races, I haven't been feeling good. This last weekend at Budds Creek, I couldn't even finish the moto. I was tired after like 10 minutes. My kidneys are all swelled up and full of bacteria, and it affects the way I feel and it kills my energy level.
Are you in a lot of pain?
No, there's no pain really associated with it. I just feel like crap and I have no energy. I can't finish a moto strong because it makes me so tired. It's strange because I recently hurt my thumb, and I've been taking Ibuprofin for it, and it does nothing for me at all.
What brought on this condition?
They say that dehydration caused it. Which it strange, because I've been drinking like two bottles of Pedialyte every day. The dehydration, combined with exhaustion because I have been working so hard, is what caused it. I've been working out hard, but it's not like Epstein Barr, which is brought on my over training. Mine feels completely different, even though it may sound the same as Epstein Barr. I have a low count of red blood cells and it's kind of like my whole body is shutting down.
How do they treat your condition?
There's only one way, I guess. They have been pumping me full of fluids. Today alone I have had seven bags of IV fluids and I have only peed once, and that was barely a dribble. They say that if the IVs don't help rehydrate me, they will have to operate on my kidneys and that's scary. If I would have gone on the way I was for a couple more weeks, they say I could have died.
What were the symptoms? Extreme fatigue?
I was real tired. I rode a 30-minute moto on Monday and I could barely finish it. I mean, barely. I was so tired that I could barely stand up afterwards. My heart rate was really high, and my muscles and my tendons were sore. The other day I felt like I pulled the tendons on the backside of my knee. They hurt so bad that I thought they were torn, but I didn't crash or anything.
I basically woke up this morning and felt so bad that I decided to go in to the hospital and get looked at; to get some blood work done. I guess there's some sort of level that they measure called CPK (creatine phosphokinase…Editor) and the average level is between 100-200. Well, mine was 3000!
What is the recovery time?
They said I was not racing this weekend, but maybe next weekend if I make a great recovery. But they told me that I wasn't leaving the hospital until that COK level was normal.
Oh, you're still at the hospital!?!?
Yeah, they are keeping me overnight and not letting me go until I am better. I'm stuck here! I ain't leaving until I am back to normal. This is serious shit! If my kidneys don't get better, I am gonna have to get surgery, man! You're gonna have to fly out here and donate a kidney to me! (Laughs)
Oh man. But will an Asian kidney work in a black man?
(Laughs) I think so. And you guys live longer than we do, so I will be all good. (Laughs)
Are any of the nurses hot, at least?
No. None of mine. I mean, there are a couple hot ones floating around, but I am in no condition to be showing them what my Instagram is all about.
Is this something that is pretty rare?
Yeah, it's rare. I should have never gotten this. Hands down, for this to happen to my body, they say that I must have pushed my body to its absolute limit. For this to happen, you have to have had something happen to you. When you just overtrain, you get Epstein Barr, but that's not what this is. I wish I had that.
Changing subjects a little, how do you feel about your season up until now?
Well, the last three weeks were terrible because I've been dealing with this feeling, but before that I was happy. It's been nice to get on a 450 that I am comfortable on. The start was good because I was staying healthy and didn't have any bad races until these problems started. I am confident in my ability to ride a big bike and hopefully I will be on a 450 next year, too.
How is that going? The hunt for a new ride?
There's no offers yet, but I am talking to a few teams. I am really hoping to get a 450 ride for Supercross. Riding a 450 indoors will be fun, but a lot more challenging, too. All the top guys are there, unlike the 250 class where they are split into two coasts. Being the heaviest guy in the 250 class was tough, and I am looking forward to not being at a power disadvantage indoors.
Since you've been sick, you've not really been able to cash in on the fame that comes with your newest magazine cover…
(Laughs) Oh I know. I have not been able to. I had one girl come by, but I was just too tired, man. (Laughs) I am not even kidding you. This last week, I have been going to sleep at like 7:00 and sleeping over 10 hours and still taking naps during the day. It was gnarly. I am really glad that I came in today.
Me too, buddy. Please keep us posted on how things are progressing, will ya?
Oh for sure, If you don't hear from me tomorrow, you'll know that something went bad and you better start checking the newspapers! (Laughs). But seriously, thanks for the call. It's boring in here!

LOS PALACIOS, Cuba – A pair of storms that devastated Cuba have prompted calls by hard-line exile groups for the United States to end its long isolation of the island.
For the first time in the 47-year history of the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba, Washington has offered direct aid to the island's Communist government, long dominated by Fidel Castro and his younger brother, Raúl, who is now in charge.
But even the most hawkish Cuban exile groups are pushing the Bush administration to go further. Traditionally a voice for greater isolation of the Castro government, the Cuban exile lobby, including the Cuban American National Foundation, has asked Congress to lift four-year-old rules that limit Cuban-Americans to sending $300 every three months to immediate family on the island and to making just one trip to Cuba every three years.
Some groups have even proposed a temporary suspension of the U.S. trade embargo.
The Cuban government has rejected the U.S. aid offer, preferring instead to rely on relief arriving daily by the planeload from Russia and other more sympathetic countries to help the victims of hurricanes Gustav and Ike. The Cuban government has mobilized the military to help in the reconstruction effort while legions of volunteers work to pick coffee beans and other crops to salvage this year's harvest and to repair damaged homes.

Heaveist rain through noon has been in RI, but Boston and MetroWest catching up as heavy t-storms continue there. Heavy rain has ended for now in RI.
Computer models having a tough time handling the where and when of the scattered showers and thunderstorms over SNE. Best bet through mid-afternoon is for showers to pop up inland. After that, there may be more that develop closer to the coast. Bottom-line is the weather will stay unsettled through Labor Day.

Adrien Broner TKO's His Way to Impressive Victory over Gavin ReesFebruary 17, 2013
Adrien "The Problem" Broner showed why he is considered boxing's next big star Saturday night, beating tough Welshman Gavin Rees by TKO in Round 5 to retain his WBC lightweight title.
After a strong start by Rees (37-2-1, 18 KOs), even being scored ahead of Broner (26-0, 22 KOs) on HBO's Harold Leaderman's card, Broner was toying around a too much in the first couple of rounds without much action. Broner then took charge of the fight in Round 3 and never let up.
In the fourth round Broner displayed his impressive knockout power by flooring Rees for just the second time in his career with a vicious uppercut. Rees showed heart and made it out of the round, but his corner almost stopped the bout.
Broner then overwhelmed Rees again in Round 5, although Rees landed his fair amount of shots and eventually caused Rees to take a knee after a huge upper cut to the body. The end of the bout was only matter of time.
Opening up on Rees as he came out of the standing eight-count, Broner caused Rees' corner to throw in the towel, giving Broner the TKO win.
Broner took some good shots with little effect and should send even more of a message to the boxing world that not only can Broner land a power shot, he can take one as well.
With no real big names in the lightweight division, the best thing for Broner to do is to move up to the 140-pound junior welterweight division. The junior welterweight division is full of names that will excite fans and add more lure to Broner's star power.
As Broner entertained on his way to the ring, while in the ring with his superior boxing skills and devastating power and through his cocky, but fitting taunts, "The Problem" should have no problems being one of the biggest stars in boxing for many years to come.

Stuart Sutcliffe was the original bassist of The Beatles from May 1960 to August 1961. Though Sutcliffe was much more of an artist/painter than a musician, his friend John Lennon convinced him to buy a Höfner bass guitar with money that Stuart earned from an art exhibit.
When the Beatles played in Hamburg, Germany, Stuart met and fell in love with fellow artist and photographer, Astrid Kirchherr. In November 1960, Stuart and Astrid got engaged. Sutcliffe decided to leave The Beatles and concentrate on painting again. He stayed in Hamburg with Kirchherr and enrolled at the Hamburg College of Art. Stuart lent Paul McCartney his bass until he could buy his own and Paul became the permanent bass player for The Beatles.
While he was studying in Hamburg, Sutcliffe started suffering from debilitating headaches. His condition worsened and he died of a brain hemorrhage on the way to the hospital on April 10, 1962. He was only 21 years old.

" Brand: Weight Watchers / Type: Ice Cream "
As many of you will know, I am currently doing the Weight Watcher's diet. I have to say that at times it can be quite difficult as I do like my naughty treats. It's not all bad though, especially when I found these Weight Watchers' Chocolate and Toffee Swirl Minipots at just 2 points each per point!!
The chocolate one is definitely my favourite - it's so smooth and luxurious. If I did not know beforehand that it was a 'diet' product then no way would I have guessed because the ice cream is just so chocolate-y that it feels and tastes naughty. I love the chocolate-y pieces.
The toffee one is quite sweet; you can smell the sweetness as soon as you peel back the lid. I do like this one, although it is very sweet and so you may find that this does get a little bit sickly after a while. I love the toffee pieces and the toffee sauce as it just adds to the flavour of the ice cream and also creates a nice texture. I do find that for me they are the right amount, as I do find that they do get a bit too sickly towards the bottom. I think if there was more in the pot I probably wouldn't be able to finish the whole pot.
I love these deserts! They are just so tasty and do not taste like a low fat product. They are lovely and light yet at the same time quite filling; there's a good amount in each pot which lasts a while which is good as I had expected them to be smaller.
All in all, I would definitely recommend these! They are a lovely treat, whether you are on a diet or not!
Thanks for reading!
October 2013
My partner and I decided to try these Weight Watchers Swirl pots after realising they are a lot less in points value than some other low fat deserts. They are an impressive points value of 1.5 per pot.
There are 4 mini pots in the box, 2 chocolate and 2 toffee. Both have great flavour to them, with actual fudge and chocolate pieces inside (which is a bonus for us dieters!)
The pot size is quite small but enough to satisfy any hunger or sweet urges, with roughly one scoop of ice-cream to each pot.
In terms of value for money, they are priced between £2.20-£2.40 per box of 4 mini pots.
The ice-cream taste is of good quality, with a great consistency. They easily rival the main ice-cream brands. The chocolate pots are pure chocolate heaven, tasting like good quality chocolate not a cheap version. The chocolate swirl sauce tastes quite delightful, even better as you know it's low fat!
Personally I prefer the chocolate pots, being the chocoholic I am, but the toffee pots are pretty good too. The toffee pots have real fudge pieces and a toffee sauce swirled through the pot. The flavour is very sweet but yummy!
Both flavours are great for a pudding or simply a snack. I would definitely recommend!
Having purchased and reviewed the Weight Watchers Chocolate Mini Sticks this week. I am now reviewing the mini pots of ice cream that I bought at the same time in a 2 for £4.00 offer (usual retail price is £2.20).
What you receive is a square box which is now mainly brown in colour. I must admit I preferred the packaging shown above, it looks fresher, and more appealing to me somehow, anyway I digress.
The box contains four little pots of reduced fat ice cream. Two of chocolate and two of toffee flavour. They are described on the front of the box as: Chocolate flavour iced dessert with chocolate covered honeycomb pieces and a chocolate flavoured sauce swirl. Sounds divine! The toffee is described as: Toffee flavoured iced dessert with fudge pieces and a caramel flavoured sauce swirl. Yummy indeed!
Before I go on to the best bit - the taste, I need to inform you of a few bits and pieces regarding the nutritional information. These pots are 1 and a half Weight Watchers points each. Have two - I do!
The Chocolate variety contains per pot:
89 calories
2.0g protein
16.9g carbohydrate
14.3g of which are sugars
2.2g of fat
1.5g of which are saturates (most important when following a weight watcher plan)
The toffee variety is much the same, per pot:
88 calories
1.5g protein
18.3g carbohydrates
13.1 of which are sugars
1.9g fat
1.5g of saturates.
Allergy advice: contains milk, soya and barley, and may also contain traces of nuts!!!
Right, now that's the boring bit out of the way! These little pots are individual portions (ie. one scoop) of pure heavenly delight, oops I mean ice cream. The come rather like the little pots of cornish ice cream you can purchase from ice cream vans and vendors and they supply you with a little scoop to eat it with. These are just like those but very definitely only one scoop sized.
The chocolate one, mmmm, is rich and thick and luxurious. You would never know it was reduced fat etc. Usually with a diet product whatever it may be, you reduce the fat, reduce the sugar, and also reduce the taste, but not with these. This one is chocolatey and velvety and scrumptious. The chocolate coated honeycomb adds another dimension to the treat. It's wonderfully crunchy, but not too much, neither is there an awful lot in there, there's just enough. For me it's just perfect.
Onto the toffee, lifting the lid and revealing the contents, you are greeted with the sugary smell of toffee. This too, has a wonderful texture, creamy without being heavy. The fudge pieces are just right. There are just enough of them in there to taste them, and provide another texture. If it was purely ice cream this would just slip down a treat, but the added fudge and toffee sauce make this feel indulgent. Mmmm.
Considering this is a diet product, healthy eating aid, call it what you will, there is no discernable difference between these little pots and those made by Ben and Jerry's or Hagen Daz whatever it's called. I have happily eaten both pots (for reviewing purposes) and have loved them immensely. I shall definitely be buying them again.
Five out of five. Another premium Weight Watchers product.

Stephen Kavanagh, chief constable of Essex Police, promised a crackdown on sickness levels in his force, where each officer takes an average of 12 days' sick leave a year.
Mr Kavanagh said a "small group" of officers were abusing the process, including some who would telephone in sick after what he described as a "heavy night".
"If you look at the overall numbers, compared to other forces, there is a group - a small group, but a group nonetheless - abusing the process," he said.
"If they can't get time off, they take it sick. If they have a heavy night, on occasions they are taking days off.
"If anyone abuses the sickness management process, then they will be challenged."
The chief constable added: "I am concerned the current levels of sickness mean some officers have to pick up the work of those not in.
"What I want to do is have a sickness management process that supports those who are genuinely in need."
He pointed out that in comparison nurses at a hospital in his area - Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford - took an average of just seven days off sick a year.
"Policing can be a stressful occupation, but so is being a nurse or a member of any other emergency service or the military," said the chief constable.
Mark Smith, chairman of the Essex Police Federation, which represents rank-and-file officers, blamed high stress levels for the absences.
"Police officers are suffering - they are under pressure and more is being heaped on," he said.
"Managers don't have time to follow sickness procedures and we are not on top of it. There is no welfare system and the stress is too much."
Mr Kavanagh said he would be working with the police federation to improve the system and support officers who genuinely had stress-related illnesses and other conditions.
Nick Alston, Police and Crime Commissioner for Essex, said: "Compared with many other organisations, the sickness level is quite high.
"I recognise many police officers are involved in physical work and I am also aware that officers are sometimes injured in the course of duty, protecting our communities and keeping us all safe.
"The force must support those officers in their medical and welfare needs, and in their recovery."


text: This temple was built in 1324, making it even older than the city of Ayutthaya. Legend has it that a king who lived in the region sought the hand of the Chinese emperor's daughter in marriage. She was brought by boat from China and presented to the king, who found her disappointing and eventually had her killed. This temple was built to honour her soul. It's a beautiful temple, near the river. On the left are several stalls selling souvenirs, and straight ahead there are images of gods and incense. The temple architecture has impressive details, colours, and beautiful gardens. Inside is a 19m statue of Buddha.

Start A Home Based Travel Agency
Written by: Amanda Bates on December 01, 2010
Although owning and operating your own business has its rewards, it is often easier and more profitable to start a home business travel agency instead. Usually, most small businesses fail within the first three years, but these statistics do not apply if you decide to become a travel agent. There are three main reasons why it pays to become an independent travel consultant: you will always have plenty of customers, you will make money around-the-clock, and you will enjoy travel discounts for yourself, your family, and your friends.
Plenty of Customers
Without customers you have no business, and one of the reasons why most small businesses fail in three years is that they run out of leads, prospects, and customers. This, fortunately, is not true in the travel business because demand far exceeds supply. When you're a work at home travel agent, you will get customers from the city you live in, from all over the country, and from all over the world. What's more, you can make reservations day and night and your travel software applications make it easy to handle this stream of business. Unlike other businesses which are restricted to local customers or seasonal variations, these limitations do not apply to a home-based travel agency.
Make Money Around-The-Clock
In the travel business, the phrase "making money-around-the clock" is used literally, not figuratively. The influx of customers will not be limited to banker's hours, but you will be open for business 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Your customers will be booking cruises, honeymoons, family reunions, and travel packages at all hours of the day or night. A work at home travel agent is someone who makes money all the time.
Travel Discounts
Those who love to travel themselves love this aspect of the business. It's routine to receive deep discounts on travel expenses, ranging from air travel to staying in a luxury hotel or dining in a fancy restaurant. Your business is paying you to be in business!
These deep discounts not only apply to you when you become a travel agent, but also to your family and friends. Moreover, since you are booking them, you will get paid for it, too.
Start a home based travel agency today and get plenty to customers, make money around the clock, and enjoy deep discounts on your own personal travel. When you become a travel agent, you step into a new world full of profit and excitement. For more information call Burt Kramer at 877-220-9260.

If orange normally scares you this is a good option. As another reviewer stated, it isn't too pastel or opaque. Nice color on my dark (nw45) skin tone. This is one of my 1st Orly polishes and I'm impressed so far.

This is the best orange polish: it's not too loud and not too pastel. It reminds me of the color of orange sherbert, and it the perfect happy polish color for summer. 2 coats and it's perfectly opaque.

I readily admit I bought this polish for no other reason than that it was supposed to be the exact shade of an orange creamsicle, and I love orange creamsicles. "Crush on You" is part of Orly's spring 2008 Love is in the Air collection which features many orangey creme shades, but this one is the real deal. As you can tell from the picture I've uploaded, it is indeed the color of a real orange creamsicle. No orange creamsicles were harmed (much) in the making of this picture! As Sarasotagirl mentioned you will need two thick coats or three thins coats for complete cover. Very glossy finish.

The colour of this is just fantabulous and complements my fair skin very well, the consistency is nice and stays put a good few days before chipping. But I have to say, the thing I liked most about this NP is the brush is such a perfect fit for my nails and I could even do my right hand with no random overside spillage. Great nail polish and recommend if you like the colour

I am in love with corals and oranges this summer and had nothing in my collection like Crush on You. I get lots of compliments when wearing this especially on the toes. Like another reviewer mentioned, you do need 2-3 coats to get it opaque.

It's the perfect orange for me. It's a jelly orange that reminds me of fresh squeezed orange juice (minus the pulp). It's not too loud or subtle. Just a happy medium of orange polishes. I think it needs three coats to look like the bottle and it is a little watery.

From the "Love Is In the Air" spring 2008 collection. Crush On You is the color of a Creamsicle -- exactly. (Also the color of many orange sodas.) It's a bright yellow-orange that is nevertheless not neon. The application is good but sheerer than you might expect, so plan to do three coats to even out the coverage. Also, plan to use a good ridge-filling basecoat to cut down on streakiness. The wear is excellent and the gloss good. I imagine this is a color that will appeal mostly to the warm-toned, though this is bright enough that a cool-toned girl with moxie could still rock it.

Flooding has also been reported in parts of the South Bay. Among the roads overrun with water: San Miguel in Bonita, Airway and La Media in Otay Mesa and Hollister Road in the Tijuana River Valley.
Residents were using equipment to move mud away from corrals along Hollister Road Monday morning. Excess rain flooded a section of the road measuring about a quarter of a mile but there was no call for evacuations.
This area of the South County often gets hit hard by sudden storms. Last December, close to two dozen horses were rescued near Saturn Avenue when rising water trapped some horses still stuck in their stalls.
Members of the San Diego SPCA stopped by to check on the condition of horses and other livestock in the area. Residents told the SPCA they were not interested in rescue as of early Monday afternoon.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Studer Recorder
Book your flights to Cleveland now. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is getting ready to unveil a new exhibit that will feature one of the 4-track recorders used to record the legendary Beatles' classic, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Studer, the manufacturer of the recorder, is loaning the J37 to the music museum, timing it with their own 60th anniversary of being in the pro audio business.
The J37 is one of a pair used in the sessions at the studio now known as Abbey Road in London. The Beatles spent 129 days in the studio working on this machine. At the time, it was the first studio quality recorder with four channels, allowing the Beatles to easily layer and bounce tracks. The album was released on June 1, 1967, the eighth studio album for the lads.
Studer is now owned by Harman, Int'l. Back in the day, Studer tape decks were legendary in the recording business. Any studio would achieve instant street cred if they had a few Studers lining their walls.
More recently, two of the original J37s by Studer were used to re-engineer a tribute album for the 40th anniversary of Sgt. Pepper's. The engineer on the original sessions, Geoff Emerick, was asked to run the console again, 40 years later. Two of the original EMI mixing boards, now owned by Mark Knopfler and Lenny Kravitz were also used for this session.
While this might only be of interest to true Beatle-holics and audio geeks, a visit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame should be on everybody's 'Must See' list. We hope you will enjoy the show. -Leslie Shapiro

Wow. I moved to this apartment in 2004. It was a terrible time when I did. My daughter had 4 surgeries the first year we lived here. I started having big allergy problems, an eye infection and bronchitis for the first time in my life. Needless to say I would move out in a breath if I could. I simply stuck some things away and forgot. Really forgot. Everything started to calm down a little and my Dad died unexpectedly in 06. Not that most people expect death, he just sat down and never got up. No warning.
Wednesday night I decided to go through a box I had stuck in the back of the closet. I was looking for something and ran onto the box and remembered putting it there, just not what was in it. So I had a look-see. All the things on top were breakables/collectibles I had forgotten about. There were clay items made in school by my eldest daughter, namely an owl and a sugar bowl and creamer. Most were just little nick-knacks that I could live without seeing again. But, and this is the big one, there was another quilt that was made by my paternal grandmother. This one was blue and yellow. That is a favorite color combo of mine! It is not in the greatest of shape and the colors have faded. But all her quilts were used well and loved that is why she made them. I want all the quilts I make to be well used and loved too. It was quilted, not tied. It is a hand pieced whirligig pattern, the name of which escapes me at the moment. It is a small quilt, so most likely made for one of the kids beds, probably one of the girls (my aunts) I vaguely remember my dad bringing it to me when we were getting ready to move. Everything that happened after that is just a blur. I didn't even remember it at all until I pulled it out of the box.
So, I must get photos and do a careful inspection of my old/new treasure.

How much do you want to run?
Where you are running into?
Is it into a Marathon Race?
Destination is same
The moment you are born
Running race begins.
Ready, All set..Go..
Starting point of each one is different
But the ending point is same.
So where are we running?
To kiss the line of death.
Which is our finishing point.
Whatever we do...
Whatever we make...
Whatever we earn...
Eat a food to either to fill our stomach
Or just to satisfy hunger.
To wear only one dress, at a time...
Only one cot to sleep.
At the End...
We require Only One Coffin of just six feet
Below the soil,
To sleep.....
Even the last journey can be
full of near ones.
Or very few ones
Or can be cremated in a lavish way
Or in ordinary way too..
Or burnt to ashes
Which will mix with soil.
Life is one only
Life is worth if your presence could make others Happy!
And your absence is also felt by others.
Good deeds are often remembered even after death!

Slow Club: Complete Surrender
Daniel Radcliffe is a huge fan of the Sheffield duo who are among the beneficiaries of money set aside by the government to help bands make it overseas. Their third album will do a lot more than any grant to help increase their popularity, here and abroad, being an accessible collection of expansive indie-pop with much broader appeal than their "twee-folk" origins. Suffering You, Suffering Me channels 1960s girl groups, and the title track is an uptempo pop gem, embellished with dramatic strings. The stunning piano ballad Number One shows just how much they've grown.
(Caroline; out now)

Around the Rink
This might be a lead sentence you see a few more times this year: Jaromir Jagr has carved out new space in the record books for himself. With a goal last night against the Ottawa Senators Jagr passed Gordie Howe for the all-time game-winning goals mark with 122. It was also his 693rd career goal, which moves him past Steve Yzerman and into sole possession of eighth place all-time. That's only one goal behind Mark Messier in seventh.
Oh, and he also leads his team with 12 goals at 41-years of age. Not bad. More on Jagr later.
- Josh Harding, arguably the best tender in the NHL so far and easily the best story of the year, was placed on the IR by Minnesota late Wednesday night. Harding is going to take a week away to "make a minor adjustment to his treatment protocol" for MS, according to Wild GM Chuck Fletcher. The team expects him back for their game against Winnipeg on December 27. That there's a timeline on his return has to make owners and Wild fans feel good. It would seem to indicate that they genuinely believe he will return on the 27th.
Johan Gustafsson, and not Darcy Kuemper, has been recalled from the Iowa Wild of the AHL to take over back up duties while Niklas Backstrom takes the reins for Minnesota. Backstrom began the season as the presumed number one—and has the potential to take his job back at any point—so he's probably not available in your league.
But even if Backstrom is available in your league, he may not be the best fill in right now. Backstrom has been hit and miss this season and faces a tough three-game road trek in his guaranteed starts. That begins tonight in Pittsburgh and will end with back-to-backs Sunday and Monday at the Rangers and Flyers. The Wild are stodgy on defense, but have struggled on the road this year and facing a red hot Penguins team tonight, I wouldn't be starting Backstrom.
As far as Gustafsson, it's possible he sees action in the back-to-back, but he has little value unless Josh Harding misses significant time. But Backstrom is no stranger to carrying a heavy workload as he did last season when Harding missed the majority of the year due to complications from MS, so it's possible Backstrom takes both of those games. Also, as the team has done a number of times this year, Gustafsson may be on the bench for emergencies only. They've called him only to send him back down and get Darcy Kuemper on the bench when they really thought they were going to need someone. The idea being, presumably, that you can keep Kuemper warm by getting him games in Iowa until he's likely to see some pucks in the NHL. Nonetheless, unless you're desperate, it's probably best to avoid the goaltending situation in Minnesota for the rest of December, unless that goaltender is carrying a league best 1.51 goals against, a .939 save percentage, and is named Josh Harding.
- The Blues locked up breakout forward Alexander Steen on Wednesday, signing him to a three-year contract extension Wednesday, worth $17.4 million. Steen leads the Blues with 22 goals, tied for second in the NHL with Corey Perry and just trailing Alexander Ovechkin's 28. In just 33 games this season Steen is two goals from breaking his season high 24 goals in 68 games in 2009-10.
I only now see the connection for today's Around the Rink: Jagr, Steen, and Harding may be some of the best values for their average draft position this season. In ESPN fantasy leagues Jagr went at 144 (two after Nail Yakupov), Steen at 157, and Harding at 230.

Jonathan Quick, G - Quick (groin) worked out on the ice for the third consecutive day Wednesday, skating and facing shots, Elliott Teaford of the Los Angeles Daily News reports. (12/18/2013
Sergei Gonchar, D, DAL - You could be forgiven for writing off Gonchar after he tallied only a single assist over the first 15 games of the season. But things have changed. Gonchar is on a three-game point streak and has eight assists over the last seven games. His minutes have fluctuated some over the season, but he's crossed the 20-minute threshold in four straight games now. He's no longer a top tier d-man, but he has a history of going hot for long stretches. It's possible this is just the start of a solid run for Gonchar.
Jaromir Jagr, RW, NJD - Jagr is up next on this week's edition of grizzled veterans who are turning it on in December. At 41-years old, Jagr has 29 points (12 G, 17 A) over 35 games. That's especially impressive considering that New Jersey ranks 22nd in scoring right now. (They're up four spots after a five-goal showing last night.) Jagr has been especially good over this last five-game stretch where he's got a goal, six assists and a plus-2 rating. He's currently on a five-game point streak and is not showing any signs of slowing down.
Ryan Johansen, C, CLM - Watch this space. You may see Johansen's name pretty often if he keeps playing like he is. Johansen is slowly making the case that he will be this team's leader for years to come. He's on a nine-game point streak with six goals and eight assists over the last 11 games. It's unlikely he's available on the waiver in your league, but if you got him off the waiver earlier in the season after he tallied just a single assist in the season's opening five games, he could be a difference maker for you.
Daniel Briere, C, MTL - The former Flyer has been as hot as a sno-cone lately. He's seen some time on the fourth line and has been bumped down the lineup when management thinks the Canadiens need added toughness on their top lines. Briere hasn't put up a point in seven games and hasn't scored in ten. His ice time has been cut in a big way as well. Not like he lost a few minutes here and there...cut as in he played 4:27 in Tuesday's win over Phoenix. (That's not even his season low.) He's been under ten minutes of ice time in four of the last nine games and is only averaging 12:38 ATOI this season. It's hard to find the argument to keep Briere in your lineup right now.
Brent Burns, RW, SAN - Burns started the season with eight points in eight games before missing some time with a mouth injury. He scored in his return on November 21 and then had three goals and an assist three games after that, giving him six points in his first four games back from injury. Since then, Burns has been lackluster. He scored his first goal over the nine-game stretch that followed on Tuesday and has a single assist in those nine games. Burns should recover though. He's a high-energy troublemaker with great hands and one of the longest sticks in the NHL. His struggles have coincided with San Jose's offensive woes. No reason to believe both San Jose and Burns won't be back to early season form soon.
Dany Heatley, RW, MIN - There was a moment this season when it seemed like discussion of Dany Heatley's demise was overblown. He started scoring, looked a little tougher. We may be back to the point where we can discuss Heatley's fading star. Coach Mike Yeo has been hinting that he's considering making Heatley and his $7.5 million cap hit a healthy scratch soon. He's been playing on the fourth line, has been under ten minutes of ice time in two of the last four games, and hasn't scored a goal in nine games. In fact, he just has a single point over that stretch, despite the fact that he's been seeing time on Minnesota second powerplay unit — a powerplay that is ranked seventh in the NHL. Heatley could certainly recover — he's got over 700 career points, he knows how to score — but that the Wild would consider benching him is a sign that even the team is losing faith in Heatley's ability to recover.
Recommended Pickup
Damien Brunner, RW, NJD – The second-year forward turned in a solid 26 point (12 G, 14 A) campaign in 2012-13. His pace this year has not been as good, though the move from the Red Wings to the Devils (as previously mentioned: 22nd in scoring) can't help that. However, Brunner is picking up the pace lately. After a 17-game stretch without a goal, Brunner has four goals and an assist in his last four games. He's a plus-2 and has 13 shots in that stretch as well. That's the best stretch of production he's had since the season opening when he had three goals and two assists in the first five games. He's playing on the second line centered by Patrik Elias (eight points in last seven games), with Adam Henrique on the other side from Brunner. This line may have begun to cash in on their potential. Brunner's no guarantee, but things are looking up for the second line who has had their struggles this year.

The Silents @Railway Hotel Fremantle 07/06/08
Check out Stuo's Gallery HERE
There were high hopes for the sx-headed lineup at the Railway Hotel on Saturday, headlined by The Silents, a band everyone has seen live by now, and who have a reputation for encouraging a shout-along among fans. Uncharacteristically though, they ended up – "rockin' the Railway' to sleep and living up to their name for a change.
Third on the bill, Mile End sounded awesome -from halfway down the street. Wailing vocals and plaintive guitar riffs, underscored by a relentless, searching rhythm that matched the longer-than-anticipated trek from the train station to the Railway Hotel. It also had the effect of spurring the walkers to pick up the pace so as not to miss any more of the gig. Unfortunately, however, once inside, all the beautiful and skilfully sculpted elements of Mile End's music became little more than a muddy wall of sound, which is impressive as far as it goes, but this band has skills that surpass a simple wall of sound, and regrettably, for them on Saturday, the mixing desk was unattended.
Kill Teen Angst played their usual strong set, although they seemed surlier, if that's possible, and maybe it was just loud in the venue, but it sounded like they called one song Shithead and one Poof. It was difficult to tell however, because the singer insisted on singing and speaking into his hat. He has an awesome voice full of power and tragedy, and nowhere was this fact demonstrated more clearly than in their outstanding performance of Death to Rio, which seems to get more intense every time they play it live.
Musicians will often tell you that the lyrics aren't the most important thing in a song, however if they are a part of the song, they are important, otherwise, don't have them at all. Perhaps they don't want their audience to understand what words they are singing, but they should, because the few lyrics that can be distinguished are like gold. That said, it is entirely possible that some of the lyrics being lauded as gold are actually misheard... "Sweetness, fortune, things we never had. Fuck off, really, thanks for everything." Well, if they aren't the real lyrics, they could be.
Fronting the Embers, is Will Stoker, another dedicated front-man not hiding behind an instrument. With his Jim Morrison-esque wriggling and writhing against the mic stand, his Nick Cave hairdo and tight, mustard, wing-collared shirt with wooden beads, anyone would expect him to be one of those wanker types, and yet, despite all of his homagic affectations, something rang true about it. Stoker jumped off stage and ran down to dance with a man in the crowd, whose dancing style would have a chiropractor rubbing his hands together in glee. Will Stoker and the Embers got the biggest response from the audience that night, at least two people ran outside to tell their smoking friends that they neeeeed to come inside and watch this band. Whilst all members are accomplished musicians with a very definite musical style, it is not a new style, and nothing they did was particularly inspiring. A pleasure to watch, with lots of interaction with the audience, or at least, attempted interaction, (The audience was in its comfy winter couches again, so not very animated) but nothing they did stoked the musical fire, rather banked it, perhaps in an effort to slow the cooling of the embers.
Psychedelic garage they once were, but perhaps they were tired or disappointed by the smallness of their audience, but The Silents just didn't seem to be feeling it on Saturday night. Either that or they have taken their music in a new suburban carport direction of late. They did manage to get one or two people almost dancing, but mainly the audience was just having shouted conversations with each other during the set.
One lacklustre gig should not write this band off, since in the past they have delivered truly inspired performances and are about to unleash themselves on the UK. The last show in Perth before they leave will be at Metros Fremantle; a venue that is perhaps better able to hold their sound, and equipped with lighting and smoke machines to feed the psychedelic ambience. If you missed the Railway gig, it is probably all for the best, but if you want to see them before they really hit the big time, and it is certain that they will, England will love them, you should grab a ticket to the Metropolis on 22nd June.

text: After Real McCoys, plans are in the works for many of the other properties SFM controls. Wyatt Earp, Joey Bishop Show (including the first season!), Make Room For Daddy (except seasons 1-3 of course). Maybe down the road even some of the lesser know shows they license, like The Californians. Hopefully this all comes to fruition but that's what they are planning to do.
