Every Record Tells A Story
Thank you for visiting.
Every Record Tells A Story is the name of an eclectic music blog covering a variety of music including rock, indie, blues, metal and vintage R&B with particular interest in used vinyl and live performances.
The writer, Steve, (that's me, writing awkwardly in the third person) has written for Classic Rock Magazine, Team Rock online and Record Collector Magazine. Steve has also appeared on the Radio 4 programme The World Tonight and on TV with BBC4's Pop Charts Britannia: 60 Years of the Pop Charts, which looked at the history of popular music.
Since 2012 Every Record Tells A Story has looked back at rock and pop's quirkier stories, myths and legends, re-telling them in a humorous and fun way.
A unique feature of the blog is Steve's forays into the world of record collecting, some of which have involved a wager. For example, could you build a collection of original Beatles vinyl for less than the price of the reissues? How much would a complete set of David Bowie's classic albums cost? Could you make and sell on eBay a deluxe box set of Neil Young albums using the original albums? And if, instead of buying a box set by Oasis, you spent the same money on buying second-hand albums, what records could you end up with?
ERTAS also features live reviews, photography, the occasional interview and general music-related nonsense.
For those seeking a bit more information, below is an excerpt of an interview I did which explains what Every Record Tells A Story is all about. Click this link for the full interview.
Hi Steve! "Every Record Tells a Story"– excellent name, and very true, what can you tell us about it?
The genesis of the whole thing came in 2001, when I stumbled across the newly released book Fargo Rock City by Chuck Klosterman. Here was a guy who grew up in the middle of nowhere, listened to a derided genre of music – heavy rock – and could still talk about it with enthusiasm and with his critical faculties intact. It was brilliant. Wouldn't it be good, I thought, if I could do something like that, but talking about life in the UK? There were similarities: Klosterman lived in a part of the world that I pictured as a wilderness, whilst in the UK I grew up in a cultural wilderness, musically speaking, thanks to the national radio stations that played non-stop Stock, Aitken and Waterman.
Of course I did nothing about actually writing a book, but the idea remained. I can't review new records as well as Pitchfork or Drowned In Sound and I can't approach an artist and say: "I'm from Rolling Stone and can I have an interview?" But not many people write about heavy rock, and those that do tend to (rightly) take it quite seriously, and tend not to write about other genres. So I had something different, because all I want to do is make jokes and write about other bands as well as Whitesnake. The Blogs-With-Jokes-About-Heavy-Rock-And-Other-Bands-niche is not a large or particularly strongly contested niche in the blogosphere, so I think I have a free run at it. I am trying to make a virtue of a lack of focus.
I like to think that blogging is to writing what punk was to music – a DIY ethic – that whole "here are three chords, now go form a band", only with words. It isn't of course – it's basically me, typing into a computer, which is about as far removed from punk as you can imagine. However, my blog is the culmination of years of just being a fan of music, reading countless music biographies, storing up all these ideas and events – things that happened at gigs for example, and then gobbing them, carefully, onto the page.
I still have doubts about the name, but you have to call it something – and you should have seen the other ideas – they were far worse.
Has your taste changed much over time?
It has widened. In his book 31 Songs, Nick Hornby wrote that Led Zeppelin and loud music generally is something you grow out of. I disagree. I now find something to enjoy in most genres, but there's still nothing quite like the sound of a Gibson Les Paul plugged into a Marshall Stack.
How do you view the role of the rock writer, and the 'blogger' in particular?
If I have a role, it is to entertain people with the writing, make people laugh and hopefully get them to dig out a new or old record. That's all. Every Record Tells A Story will appeal to gig goers, vinyl lovers, and fans of indie, rock and metal. It's like a poor man's Mojo Magazine, only not as well written, but with (hopefully) better jokes.
There are many very good music blogs out there, much better than mine, a lot of which tell you about new music and new bands, and they play a great role in promoting new bands. Well, that's not the kind of blog I write. Who wants to only listen to new stuff when you haven't heard all the old stuff? It gets exhausting to keep up with. I start to doubt someone when they recommend their eightieth new band of the year as being something special. So I'll write about say, six new bands a year, and I'll really like them all.
Of everything you've presented on the site, is there anything of which you're particularly proud?
I once took on a bet that I could buy all the Beatles albums on vinyl in a limited time and budget – that was a good series and was as much fun to do as it was to write. I had to do a fair bit of research, which I enjoyed. It ended up being part record collecting, part Beatles history and part comedy caper. Well, I thought it was funny anyway. I enjoyed it so much I did a follow-up with Bowie's records six months later. As a consequence, I now own a lot of Beatles and Bowie vinyl. Which is no bad thing. My most popular post was a joke article I wrote about a university that offered a degree in record collecting, which went modestly viral…
Has the Every Record Tells a Story site led to any other opportunities?
One of the first pieces I wrote for the blog was a jokey thing about my memories of taping the charts off the radio. Somehow a BBC researcher found it and invited me to take part in a BBC documentary called Pop Charts Britannia: 60 Years of the Top Forty. They found a boom box and got me to tape a recording of the top forty countdown from the early Eighties. It was a lot of fun.
More recently the editor of Classic Rock magazine got in touch to ask if they could publish one of the 'Rock on Trial' articles about sexism in rock. I pulled together a few Pie Charts to illustrate the point, so it had a quirky visual element to it. There are very few Pie Charts in music criticism, I find. It was very flattering to rub shoulders with "proper" writers. It was encouraging. Maybe, I thought, I should carry on doing this blogging thing just a little bit longer …
I had no expectations or ambition that blogging would lead to anything else, so these things are nice to do when they come up.

Has business intelligence (BI) technology become a commodity?
While the concept of business intelligence (BI) has been around for years, adoption of BI technology may just now be hitting the mainstream, according to Mark Madsen, a consultant with Third Nature in Rogue River, Ore. At the same time, BI technology itself has become commoditized in recent years, Madsen said.
But how can a technology that is just now achieving mainstream adoption already be a commodity? To find out, watch this video Q&A with Madsen, recorded at the TDWI World Conference in Las Vegas in February 2010. In addition to BI adoption and commoditization, Madsen also discusses how he thinks BI vendors are failing to live up to the expectations of end users and data management pros, why he thinks the usability of BI tools is "horrendous," and why communication and other "soft" skills are vital to BI success.

I read a Tweet this week by Kristen (@OmahaBabyLady) that made me take pause. She said, "Why will people plan for a year for their wedding but 12 weeks of childbirth classes is too long? WTF?" I'd never thought of it in that way before, but it resonated with me. Many people spend a year or longer planning and preparing for their wedding, but how much time do they spend preparing for the life-changing and life-giving event of giving birth to their child?
Kristen, who is a Bradley childbirth educator and doula, was prompted to Tweet and blog about this after a potential client reacted to the news that the birth classes Kristen offered would be 12 weeks long. "Twelve weeks!," she exclaimed. "You expect me to spend 12 weeks on something so simple as giving birth?" Kristen was at a loss for words and reflected on this for a few days before she made the analogy between preparing for a wedding and preparing for a birth. She said on her blog Baby's Best Beginning that she planned for her wedding for more than 15 months, including visiting wedding message boards, interviewing people and spending "countless hours agonizing" over all of the details and says most of the people she knows did/do the same. "Of course at the end of the day all that really matters is that they are able to marry their partner but very few people say 'well, the minister/priest/rabbi etc. is the expert on marriage I will just do whatever they say in regards to my wedding,' yet when it comes to birth so many couples simply defer to whatever their doctor tells them is best even when there is no medical evidence supporting those choices."
So is 12 weeks too long to spend preparing to give birth? Kristen obviously doesn't believe so. She feels, "When it comes to bringing your child into the world this is truly not a case of less is more."
Not everyone agrees though. @SybilRyan argues that the two events (wedding and birth) are "not even remotely similar" and shouldn't be compared. Genevieve is taking Bradley classes now and thinks 12 weeks is too long, but eight weeks would be perfect. "I love my teacher, the other parents, etc., but 12 weeks is a really long commitment when you have so much else to do to prepare for your baby." @Reecemg who blogs at Metagestation said she took an eight-week class and it was the perfect length. Others, such as Heather who blogs at Christian Stay At Home Moms thinks an intensive four to six hour one-day class would be good, as "its difficult to find time to go to a class 1x per week for 12 weeks."
Mary, who blogs at One Perfect Mess, said on Twitter, "The length [of the class] probably depends on the quality. For us four meetings was plenty."
Merry With Children also commented on Twitter and said, "I know there are things to learn but so much of it [birth] is going to go how its going to go. Too much info is just scary."
Rebecca thinks people put more time preparing for their wedding than childbirth for exactly that reason — fear. She commented on Twitter, a "wedding is fun, childbirth is scary. 'Experts' will take care of everything when you show up at hospital."
Andi who blogs at Confessions of a Judgmental Hippy agrees with Kristen and thinks, "if a woman can commit to 12 prenatal appointments (average) then 12 weeks (sessions) of [childbirth education] should be easy."
Whitney blogs at The (Un)balancing Act of Motherhood took Bradley classes and thinks the length of time was "perfect," although admits she gave birth before attending the last two classes. She added, "I can't imagine learning about what happens in birth, what to expect, what to do, etc. in one class or even four classes. But like I said, that's just me. Others would be fine with one or four classes."
What do you think? Can the two events – a wedding and a birth – be compared? What is the "right" amount of time to prepare for giving birth?
I planned for more than a year for my wedding, and although I didn't attend a 12-week Bradley Method session, I feel like I put a good deal of preparation into childbirth. I took Hypnobirthing classes before my first child was born, which were six two-hour classes if I remember correctly. I also read a lot and practiced the Hypnobirthing techniques.
I agree to some degree with Merry With Children in that no matter how much one prepares, birth is "going to go how its going to go." But I also think the more you know and understand about birth, the better informed you will be to make choices along the way. Knowledge is power.

Ah the miracle of medicine, look how much you've done for women and babies. Birthing in the Western World is no longer fraught with danger, thanks to your hand.
The oh-so convenient Christmas miracle story splashed internationally across mass media headlines of a Coloradan woman and her baby dying through childbirth and then "inexplicably" being revived held readers spellbound. It was the perfect gift for editors – as a front page, it sold papers.
But media did not report the facts – they just told a good story.
In birth, medicine has moved beyond monitoring women and fixing stuff that goes wrong to getting in there and making birth a "medical procedure." Whether a woman is likely to birth successfully without intervention or not is not considered when offering everything from epidurals to c-sections to "patients" who are armed with the gift of choice, but not the gift of a full education about the side-effects each of these interventions carry.
Do they know that as soon as you introduce one intervention, the likelihood of more being required is exponentially higher? Epidurals lead, often, to more intervention. Why? Because blind freddy can tell that if you can't feel your body, if you muck around with its ability to do the work it was naturally trying to do, then it's going to be more likely to repay you in kind. Epidurals are not headache tablets for birthing. Too many women believe they are. Too many women give their birthing up to medicine with no reasonable or rational cause. They're missing out on the most powerful experience of their lives – and often recovering from major abdominal surgery. Society is also paying through the nose for these unnecessary surgeries. Over 30% of American women now have c-sections. Before long it will be the "normal" way to birth.
Media did not question the fact that Tracy and Mike Hermanstorfer were being "prepped for childbirth" in a medicalized setting with pitocin delivered and an epidural being inserted, and that apparently coincidentally Tracy's heart stopped after the epidural. (There is real research into the side-effects of epidurals… this link to the American Pregnancy Association states more than 50% of American women have epidurals – but if you read to the end, the very real possibility of cascades of intervention and medical trauma directly related to the epidural, including severely lowering heart rates of both mother and baby are basically outlined. And that's if they put it in correctly.)
Henci Goer reported on this story yesterday, for Lamaze International. She outlines the details of potential medical responsibility in the trauma endured by this family. Additionally, in ABC News's video interview with the doctor and Hermanstorfers, the cascade of intervention is described – but the reporting does absolutely nothing to question further about those interventions.
Traditional media are failing us in reporting on birth. We are so accepting of medicalised birth that media do not question medical responsibility in this family's trauma. Instead, it celebrates the "Christmas miracle" that sells its papers – and the UK's Daily Mail even went so far as to credit the doctor for bringing back lifeless Tracy. Again, the business model gets in the way of good journalism. Find the quickest story that sells the paper and pulls a heartstring, not the story that takes research and investigation.
I know many religious people have already adopted this story, calling it God's hand at work. Others will say "thank goodness she was in a hospital (where our human-made gods are) – what would have happened if she were at home?"
What indeed.

Kierkegaard and the self
"A human being is spirit. But what is spirit? Spirit is the self. But what is the self? The self is a relation that relates itself to itself or is the relation's relating itself to itself in the relation." (Kierkegaard, The Sickness Unto Death, p. 13)
I am taking a brief respite from blogging on the spiritual/psychological/human consequences of our American economic system. The purpose of this hiatus is to discuss Kierkegaard's notion of the self. "Self" is a term I use quite a bit in my blogging, so it seems worthwhile to discuss and dialog on what I mean by "self." Kierkegaard is a great place to start. For Kierkegaard, "the self is a relation that relates itself to itself." This carries with it the idea of a self as a process of understanding itself. A self has a certain consciousness of being a self. As human beings, we contemplate our place in the universe and the cosmos, we form a sense of identity, we look for meaning, try to discover our purpose, and we reflect on ourselves. We ask the "who am I?" questions. This capacity represents our capacity to be a "self." In Heidegger terminology, we are beings for whom our very being is an issue. However, my understanding of Kierkegaard is such that even though we can begin to ask ultimate questions and contemplating existential issues of our individuality and personhood, this only represent the beginning of the possibility of discovering our self.
The self is a relation that relates itself to itself. But this process of understanding and becoming self is easily hijacked in the world. "Most men live without ever becoming conscious of being destined as spirit—hence all so-called security, contentment with life, etc., which is simply despair." (p. 26)
We recall that Kierkegaard uses "spirit" and "self" interchangeably. Self/spirit is a process of "becoming conscious," a process that most do not truly engage. We might ask questions of purpose and meaning, but these frequently remain somewhat trite, and they are often insignificant when compared with the securities and entertainments that life has to afford. In other words, we are easily distracted from deep knowledge of self. However, knowing one's self and engaging the process of self-consciousness and self-awareness does not simply mean that one becomes the stereotypical brooding existentialist. This kind of brooding does not mean that the self is relating itself to itself in any meaningful way. (It could be a meaningful process, of course, but not necessarily so.) In fact, a person might live "full" lives, experiencing the wide range of emotions that human existence has to offer and yet still remain very unconscious of who one is as a self.
"…only that person's life was wasted who went on living so deceived by life's joys or its sorrows that he never became decisively and eternally conscious as spirit, as self, or what amounts to the same thing." (p. 26)
Consciousness is a key component of self. There must be a recognition of a deeper connection that one can have with one's self, a sense that there is a "me" that is much deeper than merely cruising through life, experiencing it's joys and sorrows. Theologically speaking, I think that "self" also has to do with the imago dei, the image of God in all of us—the sense that as an individual, each person has a beautiful and majestic self; that we are capable of connecting with something divine within us, the "Inward Light" as the Quakers termed it.
"The self is composed of infinitude and finitude. However, this synthesis is a relation, and a relation that, even though it is derive, relates itself to itself, which is freedom. The self is freedom….
"Self-consciousness is decisive with regard to the self. The more consciousness, the more self; the more consciousness, the more will; the more will, the more self. The person who has no will at all is not a self." (p. 29, emphasis added)
Will, freedom, and self are connected. To understand one's gift as the image of God, a reflection of the divine—to appreciate the wonder of human existence—it is necessary to engage the process of becoming self, of being aware of self. In some sense, one's ability to be human is at stake. "The world" is the environment where the self gets forgotten, where the deeper exploration of one's soul is lost in the economics of daily life and the indulgences of the ego. No one cares about the loss of self. "Such things do not create much of a stir in the world, for a self is the last thing the world cares about and the most dangerous thing of all for a person to show signs of having. The greatest hazard of all, losing the self, can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all." (p. 32)
In Kierkegaard's philosophy/theology of self, God is an important aspect of self-hood, however, to lose one's relation to their self means that the God relationship will be warped and perverted. To be related correctly with God means that one must be related correctly also with one's self.
It is easy within the world to lose the self. It is quite common to get distracted from thinking and contemplating the self. It is often the case in this world, that we allow ourselves to become swept away and defined by the world, and to lose our sense of self and freedom. We lose our connection with ourselves, and we become fragmented. Or perhaps we define ourselves (by the standards of the world, of course), and believe we have some sense of identity. But the tragedy of the loss of self remains.
In the next post, we will look more closely about Kierkegaard's insights about how a person's relationship with "God" can become distorted if that person does not understand their self. That is, sometimes religious folk believe that they have escaped "the world," but because they have still have no self/spirit, their view of God is, as Kierkegaard calls it, a fantasy of the infinite.

ICD: Living Well With ItSkip to the navigation
An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) helps protect you against dangerous heart rhythms. It's important to know how this device works and how to keep it working right. Learning a few important facts about ICDs can help you get the best results from your device.
You may have a device that combines an ICD with a pacemaker, which keeps your heart from beating too slowly. To learn more about pacemakers, see Heart Problems: Living With a Pacemaker .
- Avoid strong magnetic and electrical fields. These can keep your device from working right. Most office equipment and home appliances are safe to use. Learn which things you should use with caution and which you should stay away from.
- Know what to do when you get a shock from your ICD.
- Be sure that any doctor, dentist, or other health professional you see knows that you have an ICD.
- Always carry a card in your wallet that tells what kind of device you have. Wear medical alert jewelry that says you have an ICD.
- Have your ICD checked regularly to make sure it's working right.
- It's common to be anxious that the ICD might shock you. But you can take steps to think positively and worry less about living with an ICD.
How do you get the best results from an ICD?
When you have an ICD, it's important to avoid strong magnetic and electrical fields. The lists below give some safety guidelines for pacemakers and ICDs. They show some electrical and magnetic sources and how they may affect your ICD. For best results, follow these guidelines. These safety tips also apply to devices that combine an ICD and a pacemaker. If you have questions, check with your doctor.
Your doctor or the manufacturer of your ICD can give you a full list of things that you need to avoid and things that are safe to use.
Stay away from
- CB or ham radios
- High-voltage power lines. Stay at least25 ft (7.5 m)away.
- Large magnets
- MRI machines, unless you have a device that is safe in an MRI machine. An MRI uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make pictures of organs and structures inside the body.
Use with caution
- Cell phones:
- Do not carry a cell phone in a pocket directly over the pacemaker or ICD.
- Hold the phone to the ear on the side away from your device.
- Keep a phone at least 6 in. (15 cm) away from the pacemaker or ICD.
- MP3 player headphones:
- Do not keep headphones in a chest pocket.
- Do not drape headphones over your chest.
- Security or anti-theft detectors (metal detectors):
- Walk through the detector at a normal pace.
- Don't stand near or lean against the gates or archway.
- Keep the following devices at least12 in. (30.5 cm) away from the pacemaker or ICD:
- Arc welders
- Battery-powered cordless power tools
- Industrial power generators
- Magnets
- Magnetic wands used at airports
- Stereo speakers
- Radio transmitters (including those used in toys)
Safe to use
- Kitchen and bathroom equipment:
- Bathroom appliances (electric razors, curling irons, and hair dryers)
- Kitchen appliances (such as toasters, blenders, electric can openers, and refrigerators)
- Microwave, gas, and electric ovens
- Other household items:
- Electric tools (such as drills and table saws)
- Lawn and garden equipment (such as mowers and leaf blowers)
- Heating pads and electric blankets
- Washing machines and dryers
- Phones (land-line phones including cordless models)
- Remote controls
- TVs, VCRs, CD players, DVD players
- Office equipment:
- Computers
- Copy machines
- Fax machines
- Printers
What to do if you get a shock
If you get a shock from your ICD, follow the plan you set up with your doctor. In general, your plan depends on how you feel after you get a shock and how many times you get a shock.
After one shock:
- Call 911 or other emergency services immediately if you feel bad or have symptoms like chest pain.
- Call your doctor soon if you feel fine right away. Your doctor may want to talk about the shock and schedule a follow-up visit.
After a second shock within 24 hours:
- Call your doctor right away, even if you feel fine right away.
- After a shock, do some breathing exercises. They may help you relax.
- Sit or lie in a comfortable position. Put one hand on your belly just below your ribs and the other hand on your chest.
- Take a deep breath in through your nose, and let your belly push your hand out. Your chest should not move.
- Breathe out through pursed lips as if you were whistling. Feel the hand on your belly go in, and use it to push all the air out.
- Breathe in and out like this until you feel more relaxed.
Call your doctor if an alarm goes off
Some ICDs have an alarm system that can tell you when to call your doctor. The alarm does not mean that your ICD is not working. It means that your doctor needs to check something on your ICD. For example, an alarm might mean that the battery needs to be checked.
Your doctor can tell you what your alarm will sound like or feel like. You might hear beeping. Or you might feel a vibration, like a cell phone vibration.
Call your doctor right away if you hear or feel an alarm.
Having medical tests and procedures
Most medical tests and procedures won't affect your ICD, except for MRI, which uses strong magnets. To be safe:
- Let your doctors, dentists, and other health professionals know that you have an ICD before you have any test, procedure, or surgery.
- Have your dentist talk to your doctor before you have any dental work or surgery.
- If you need physical therapy, have the therapist contact your doctor before using ultrasound, heat therapy, or electrical stimulation.
You can travel safely with a cardiac device. But you'll want to be prepared before you go.
- Bring a list of the names and phone numbers of your doctors.
- Bring your cardiac device identification card with you.
- Know what to do when going through airport security.
If you have an arrhythmia or an ICD that makes it dangerous for you to drive, your doctor might suggest that you stop driving, at least for a short time. You probably don't have to stop or limit driving if your arrhythmia doesn't cause bad symptoms.To learn more, see Heart Rhythm Problems and Driving .
Letting others know
- Carry an ICD identification card with you at all times. The card should include manufacturer information and the model number. Your doctor can give you an ID card.
- Wear medical alert jewelry stating that you have an ICD. You can buy this at most drugstores.
Going to follow-up visits
- Go to all your appointments with your doctor to make sure that your device is working right .
- Your doctor and/or the device maker will contact you about what to do if your device is recalled .
- If you take heart rhythm medicines, take them as prescribed. The medicines work with your ICD to help your heart keep a steady rhythm.
If you think you have an infection near your device, call your doctor right away. Signs of an infection include:
- Changes in the skin around your device, such as swelling, warmth, redness, and pain.
- An unexplained fever.
Exercising safely
Ask your doctor what sort of activity and intensity is safe for you. ICDs are set to shock at a specific heart rate. So your target heart rate during exercise will probably be at least 10 to 15 beats below the ICD discharge heart rate.
You doctor can help you learn how to use a rating of perceived exertion (RPE) as a way to tell how hard you are exercising. This can help you keep your heart rate at a safe level during exercise.
Stop exercising and call your doctor if you have:
- Pressure or pain in your chest, neck, arm, jaw, or shoulder.
- Dizziness, lightheadedness, or nausea.
- Unusual shortness of breath or tiredness.
- A heartbeat that feels unusual for you: too fast, too slow, or skipping a beat.
- Other symptoms that cause you concern.
- A shock from your ICD.
Having sex
Most people who have an ICD (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) can have an active sex life. If your doctor says that you can exercise and be active, then it's probably safe for you to have sex.
After you get the device implanted, you'll let your chest heal for a short time before resuming sex. If you or your partner is worried about resuming sex, talk with your doctor about your concerns. Your doctor or another health professional can give you support and advice.
What if I get shocked? Many people with ICDs worry that the ICD might shock them during sex. The risk of getting a shock during sex seems to be the same as during any other similar level of exercise. If you get a shock during sex, you will follow your plan about when to call your doctor.
Will my partner get shocked? Some people worry that if they get shocked during sex, their partner might be hurt. But your partner will not be shocked or feel any pain if you get shocked.
Coping with worry about ICD shocks
You may feel nervous about living with an ICD, and you may worry about getting shocked.
The shock can be uncomfortable. It may feel like you are being kicked in the chest. For many people, getting a shock can cause anxiety and depression.
It's common to be worried about living with an ICD. After all, you don't know when a shock might occur, and a shock could be a reminder that your heart is not as healthy as it could be. But if you take a few simple steps, you can feel better about having an ICD.
- Try to replace a negative thought about the ICD with a positive one. For example: When you start to worry about getting a shock, remind yourself that the ICD is there to help save your life. Or try to focus on the positive things in your life, such as loving relationships, pleasant activities, or good friends.
- Talk to your doctor about making an action plan for what to do if you get shocked.
- Don't make changes in what you do. You may want to avoid an action because you think it caused the shock. But a shock can occur at any time, and you can't prevent shocks by your actions alone. Don't stop doing things you enjoy to try to avoid a shock.
Planning for the future
As you plan for your future and your end of life, include plans for your ICD. You can make the decision to turn off your ICD as part of the medical treatment you want at the end of life. You can put this information in your advance directive .

Washington mudslide death toll climbs to 28
ARLINGTON, Wash. — The official death toll from Washington state's mudslide has increased to 28, and the Snohomish County medical examiner's office says 22 of those victims have been identified.
That's up from 27 dead with 19 identified Tuesday morning.
The latest names added to the victims list are 65-year-old Thom E. Satterlee, 60-year-old Lon E. Slauson and 23-year-old Adam Farnes. Like the rest, they died of blunt force injuries suffered in the March 22 slide northeast of Seattle.
Satterlee and Slauson had been on the missing list. Officials say the number of people who are missing now stands at 20.
Officials say receding floodwaters near the rural community of Oso are helping in the search for human remains by exposing more sites that can be examined.

When the heart's ability to work is greatly reduced for a prolonged time, a life-threatening situation can arise. This may result from ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, an extremely fast, chaotic rhythm during which the lower chambers quiver and the heart can't pump any blood, causing cardiac arrest. This is sudden cardiac arrest, which is a medical emergency.
If the heart can continue to pump normally, though, some ventricular tachycardias may be tolerated without fainting (syncope) or cardiac arrest. Tachycardia may be nonsustained (lasting only seconds) or sustained (lasting for minutes or hours).
Tachycardias also can cause serious injury to other organs. For example, the brain, kidneys, lungs or liver may be damaged during prolonged cardiac arrest.
Blood clots can form in the heart's upper chambers because of atrial fibrillation, a disorder in which the atria quiver (like a bowl of gelatin) instead of beating effectively. Blood that isn't pumped completely out of the atria when the heart beats may pool and clot. If a piece of a blood clot in the atria breaks free, it can enter into the circulation. Then it can flow within the bloodstream until it lodges in a narrowed artery leading to or within the brain, causing a stroke. Such clots can also damage other organs.
What is sudden cardiac arrest?
Sudden cardiac arrest is the abrupt loss of heart function in a person who may or may not have diagnosed heart disease. The time and mode of death are unexpected. It occurs instantly or shortly after symptoms appear.
The term "massive heart attack" is often mistakenly used to describe sudden cardiac arrest. While a heart attack may cause cardiac arrest and sudden death, the terms don't mean the same thing. The term "heart attack" (or myocardial infarction) refers to death of heart muscle tissue due to the loss of blood supply, not necessarily resulting in the death of the heart attack victim.
Recognizing the signs of sudden cardiac arrest
Causes of sudden cardiac arrest
Arrhythmias can cause stroke (View an animation of arrhythmia)
Stroke is a cerebrovascular disease that affects the blood vessels supplying blood to the brain. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel bringing oxygen and nutrients to the brain bursts or is clogged by a blood clot or some other particle. Because of this rupture or blockage, part of the brain doesn't get the blood flow it needs. Deprived of oxygen, brain cells in the affected area can't function and die within minutes. And when brain or nerve cells can't function, the part of the body they control can't function either. The devastating effects of stroke are often permanent because dead brain cells aren't replaced.
There are two types of strokes:
- those caused by a blocked blood vessel to the brain (ischemic stroke)
- those caused by a ruptured blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke), blood within the brain tissues)
The most common cause of stroke from an arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation can cause blood clots to form in the atria (top chamber of the heart) where they can be pumped out of the heart, to the brain, blocking a blood vessel and causing a stroke.
Treatment for atrial fibrillation focuses in part on reducing the risk of stroke. It's important to know and manage all your risk factors for stroke, including atrial fibrillation.

"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm.

Investing In Competing Companies
Bijan has a really good blog post up today about Spark's approach to investing in competing companies (they don't). He says:
I'm quite sure that we will miss a few important investments and i'm sure we could be more aggressive with and flirt with the gray line that we are trying figure out every day.
Our firm takes an almost identical approach to Spark on this topic. Back in early 2007, I wrote a blog post at USV.com on this topic. After reading Bijan's post, I went back and re-read my blog post. I wouldn't change a word four years later. Which feels really good to me.
I believe that VC is a service business and our customer is the entrepreneur. Our shareholders are the limited partners who allow us to invest their capital. And I believe that in order to service the entrepreneurs we work with to our fullest, we cannot and should not have competing investments.
I know that there are VC firms out there that don't share this view. And I am sure they have found a way to make it work for them and the companies they invest in. But we haven't and I am sure we never will.

The biggest barrier to gaining access to the Colorado medical marijuana registry is most likely to be cost. Because there are no general funds allotted to the program, users are required to pay around $100 in fees to be a registered user. Also, all applications, renewals and requests for change must be submitted as a hard papery copy via mail, with changes made in blue ink and must include a copy of the patient's Colorado identification.
Not all applications will be accepted, however. Recently, four applications were denied due to lack of scientific evidence that medical marijuana usage provided any beneficial effect. Among those rejected were cases of Parkinson's Disease, Asthma, Anxiety and Bi-Polar Disorder. Although acceptance is carefully screened, Colorado has currently used over 6,700 registry ID cards. The renewal rate is 56 percent.

SKF Customized Interfacing integrates condition monitoring data into business management systems
2015 September 30, 10:00 CEST
New SKF Customized Interfacing from SKF connects SKF @ptitude suite with business management systems to make critical condition monitoring data available for review in one location and enable better decision making.
Gothenburg, Sweden, 30 September, 2015: SKF, the knowledge engineering company, has launched a new SKF Customized Interfacing that integrates the SKF @ptitude condition monitoring suite with customers' existing ERP and CMMS solutions. This allows businesses to review all condition monitoring data in their existing business management system, helping to ensure better decision making for improved performance, efficiency and reliability of systems.
To date, process and condition monitoring data has been widely available, but has traditionally been stored in different and separate data silos. This has made strategic decision making a difficult and complex task. Now, the new SKF Customized Interfacing allows data from multiple condition monitoring and asset management systems to be integrated with information from enterprise-wide resource planning and programming platforms.
This new approach from SKF allows companies to take a far more holistic view of their plant-wide operating technologies. In particular, the improved integration of data, often in real time, creates the potential for greater business automaton, new performance improvements and reduced operating costs.
SKF is in a unique position to help customers in this area, as it is the only specialized global supplier that offers a full set of solutions. These include: condition monitoring and asset optimization hardware and software, management tools and in-house consultancy plus, with the new ESB interface, the knowledge and technology to integrate operational data with strategic business planning.
Bjoern Robel, Development Manager with Industrial Mobile Solutions at SKF explains, "This is an important step forward, and the first time that such a system has been available to harness the power of SKF's @ptitude suite of condition monitoring technologies with the strategic management potential of ERP platforms. We see this as a critical tool to help customers enhance their business processes still further, while gaining a vital edge in increasingly competitive global markets".
