A civil air patrol officer is now taking the blame for the confusion surrounding a house fire rescue.
9 on your side was the first to bring you the story.
Cadet Emily Watson's actions were called into question after Officer David Nelson sent out a news release crediting her with saving three people from a burning house in Nashville.
The homeowner's daughter told us it never happened but Nelson provided us with the 9-1-1 call he says the cadet made.
In an email, Officer Nelson says he is the one responsible for notifying the media after Watson posted a photo of the fire on her Facebook page. Nelson tells us Watson was not boastful or trying to seek recognition for the rescue. In hindsight, he says the release he sent should be restated that she "helped" save the people in the house.
While it is still unclear whether Watson physically went into the house, Nelson says he is still proud of her actions. However characterized, he says she saw an emergency and responded appropriately.
The full email is below:
It has been asserted that Civil Air Patrol Cadet Emily Watson fabricated elements of her involvement dealing with a house fire in Nash County. The notification of the media, following her posting of a photograph on Face Book, was exclusively done by myself. Her posting was not boastful or seeking aggrandizement and my notifications sought an acknowledgement for this young woman and her character which has subsequently been called into question.
At 1:16 it appears that Mr. Brian Murray re-enters the house, by 1:30 he is back with the caller. At 1:42 it's known that there are two people still in the house and their location is reported at 1:47. At 1:52 she appears to say "I've found them." and at 1:55 she asks a woman "is everybody out, ma'am?" and relays that to the dispatcher. At 2:14 she starts yelling for everyone to "go across the street" and at 2:22 someone starts repeatedly yelling "No". At 2:30 she informs the dispatcher that "something just collapsed." At 2:59 she reports "there's an elderly woman here, I think she's having trouble breathing.... She says she's alright." At 3:24 she acknowledges the dispatcher's instructions and says " I'll guide the emergency crews into the area."
All in all, I remain extremely proud of her actions - however characterized: she saw an emergency and responded appropriately, alerted 911, ensured that all were out of the structure and kept one from going back in, kept bystanders away from the danger, informed dispatchers of the condition of the parties and the scene, and left upon instructions to guide help in. Substantial credit and acknowledgement of the actions clearly should go to the neighbor (the third party in the house) believed to be Gary Baker and the men and women who responded from the various fire agencies.
C/Capt Watson, neither trained nor equipped as a firefighter, did exactly what she should do in this situation, but more than many would. Whether she entered the structure or not from 1:40 to 1:55 seems to be the question. She asserted that she did enter the kitchen area by the back door and that smoke and flame were present in the room, we cannot know that at this point. If her presence hastened their exit or the fire department's response is a question which is unanswerable at this point.
The notification I sent, with the additional information available now, clearly should be restated that she helped save the lives and I deeply regret the absence of that adverb. That should not, however, detract from the fact that this cadet acted unhesitatingly and properly to ensure all people were out of the house in a situation where lives were at stake.
The assertion by Mrs. Murray's daughter, who was not on scene, that cadet Watson played no role in this situation, furthered by denials of knowledge by the Nashville Fire Chief, have deeply affected and discouraged us. She did intervene and her actions deserve acknowledgement, as do the actions of the neighbor. There seems to be enough bad news right now, particularly regarding 19-year-olds, that this should be revisited and mitigated.
David Nelson
A bizarre story out of Nash County.
A young cadet's actions were called into question after a member of the Civil Air Patrol sent out a news release crediting her with saving three people from a burning house.
9 On Your Side began investigating after the homeowner's daughter called to tell us it never happened.
It appears the whole thing was blown out of proportion. We talked with Alice Watson. She's the cadet's mother. She tells us her daughter, Emily, was at the scene of the fire but it was never her intent to seek any recognition.
Around 11am Saturday, Nashville firefighters were called to the home on Exum Street.
"Before the first truck got here, we had what I really believe was a smoke explosion. I was pretty close to the building but the witnesses that were further away say it lifted the roof about a foot and came back down," said Fire Chief, Randy Goodbrod.
The home was a total loss but the homeowner and her son got out of the house unharmed. Shortly after it happened, 9 on your side got a news release from the Civil Air Patrol crediting Emily Watson with saving their lives. In the release, Watson, is quoted as saying she got everyone out of the house. But the homeowner's daughter, Karen Letchworth says there's just one problem with that statement.
"I don't really know what to think of it. It really upset us because that's really not what happened," she said.
Letchworth says a neighbor first saw the flames and alerted her mother and brother, who were able to get out of the house on their own.
"We are getting some conflicting reports, I don't know if you can confirm this at all that there was a civil air cadet that came and helped rescue?" asked 9 on your side's Kristen Hunter.
"I'm not aware of that. I just talked to the homeowner. She was able to get out of the structure on her own. So I would say that there was no credible report as far as that goes," said Chief Goodbrod.
But the cadet's mother, Alice Watson, tells us her daughter was there. She tells 9 on your side her daughter was driving by the house, noticed smoke and called 9-1-1. She says her daughter made sure the people inside the house got out okay and waited across the street until firefighters arrived.
Firefighters have not determined the cause of the fire but it does not appear to be suspicious.
As far as the discrepancies about how the family got out of the home, the person who originally sent the press release, Officer David Nelson, did not return Hunter's calls by air time.

Several Inland Northwest schools accepted "Rachel's Challenge" this week.
Rachel Scott was the first person killed in the Columbine shootings. After hear death, her diaries revealed her vision: if one person went out of their way to show kindness, it could start a chain reaction. Her lessons of kindness, not how she died, fuel the program, which promotes attendance and have proven to reduce bullying.
Many of the students have been sharing there feelings through social media.

What makes you yourself? What experiences throughout your life have shaped you into the person you are today?
I am doing a project for school and my essential question that needs to be answered is What shaped your true sense of self? I used the movie Perks Of Being A Wallflower and the novel Looking For Alaska in my research. I would greatly appreciate other opinions and comments on this questions pertaining to the sources i used or your own personal experiences.

Jun 8 2013: I spent thirty five years trying to figure out what made me - me. I believe that we are everything that we have been through, everything that we have seen, everything that has been done to us, and everyone that we have had relationships with. My particular story began well before I was born. My father was a first child and his mother died giving birth to him. His father resented him and hated him from the moment he was born, because he lost his wife because of this baby. His father then remarried in order to have someone home to take care of this child. She was crazy, and I mean that in the true sense. She spent the last thirty years of her life in the mental institution. So my father was raised with an angry father and a nut for a step mother - and this is the man who became my father. Having never been shown love in his life, he knew not how to show it to his family. His only emotion was anger and hostility, the same traits he grew up with. I was abused and made to feel worthless by this man, all while my mother did nothing. (I think that she was scared of him also.) I always tried to make him proud, thinking that his anger would stop. On the day that I purchased my first brand new car, I drove to my father's home to show him and take him for a ride. I thought surely he would be proud of me, but he had a stroke and died that day before I got there. He was 55 years old. I never got a chance to figure out and make sense of my childhood, and I will never hear the words I'm sorry from him. But I can move forward in other ways, such as being a good calm and caring mom to my son. As much as I have tried to overcome my upbringing, the fact of the matter is it made me who I am today. I am a scared person who will not trust anyone and who still shakes when I hear someone yelling. We are where we've been. We are what we've been through. And we can try our best to overcome our past, but we will never be able to change it.

Crystal clear audio and extra radio stations from these wireless wonders
New era of quantum computing hailed
Current computer chips will be replaced with super-fast quantum versions it is claimed
Silicon chips that exploit the weird properties of quantum physics could be common components in laptops and smart phones within a few years, say scientists.
British-led technology is set to revolutionise computing using circuits that operate with light instead of electricity, it is claimed.
For the first time, they will offer a practical way of harnessing subatomic interactions so strange they spooked Albert Einstein.
The result could be blindingly fast search engines, encryption systems that cannot be cracked, and computers vastly more powerful than anything in use today.
Super-secure communication devices expected to appear in the next three years could effectively end hacking and identity theft.
In another decade, quantum computers could be outperforming their conventional counterparts. And by 2525 quantum circuits might be everywhere - sitting inside laptops and phones, helping to design new drugs and smart materials, predicting the weather with unprecedented accuracy, and keeping bank accounts and sensitive information safe.
"It had previously been thought that a large-scale quantum computer will not become a reality for at least another 25 years," said Professor Jeremy O'Brien, director of the Centre for Quantum Photonics at the University of Bristol. "However, we believe that, using our new technology, such a device, in less than 10 years, will be performing important calculations that are outside the capabilities of conventional computers."
An ordinary computer relies on logic gates - essentially switches - that are either on or off and which encode data into "bits" represented by ones and zeros. But a quantum computer's switches can be on, or off, or simultaneously on and off.
A "qubit" can exist as a zero, a one, or a "superposition" of both these states at the same time. Multiple qubits can be in numerous inbetween states. This is possible because of quantum effects only seen at the subatomic level that appear to defy common sense.
Particles such as photons, packages of light, can be in two places at once or "entangled" so they influence each other instantaneously, no matter how far apart they are. Einstein found entanglement so hard to swallow he dismissed it as "spooky action at a distance".

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) Two skiers from southern Wisconsin were killed over the weekend in an avalanche in Colorado. Authorities have not identified them -- but WISC TV in Madison said they were Jarrard Law and 32-year-old Justin Lentz, both of Portage.
The avalanche occurred Saturday about 120 miles southwest of Denver near Independence Pass, at an elevation of 11,000 feet. Lake County Emergency Management spokeswoman Susan Matthews said a total of seven skiers were swept away -- and investigators believe they triggered the slide in an area with steep and treacherous conditions.
The bodies of Law and Lentz were found yesterday afternoon at the top of the avalanche. A friend of both victims told WISC that Law worked at the Cascade Mountain ski area near Portage, and Lentz was a snowboarder. Three of the other skiers survived with injuries -- one with broken ribs and a lacerated kidney. The other two were buried in the avalanche but escaped unharmed.
Lentz and Law were the second-and-third Wisconsinites to die in Colorado avalanches this month. 26-year-old Joshua Lesniak of Berlin died last Monday, after he was buried in up to 20-feet of snow while snowmobiling with two others near Crested Butte Colorado.

[Update at 2:10 p.m.: We have our winner! Congrats to "David," who was randomly chosen to recieve the tix to tomorrow's show. Thanks, everyone, for playing and sharing your memories. Barbie Dream House! I had one of those, too. And to have Don Henley/Tina Turner as your first concert is a rather cool thing. Glad to see I'm not the only one who still appreciates the '80s. Looks as if I'll have some stuff to give away next week, too, so make sure to check the blog for updates.
Susanna Hoffs started the week with some '80s nostalgia (even though she's promoting a wonderful new solo record) and there's a wicked cool '80s bill coming to Buckhead Theatre to cap things off.
A Flock of Seagulls, Naked Eyes and Gene Loves Jezebel will take the stage at 7 p.m. Saturday, bringing their respective rundown of hits ("I Ran [So Far Away]," "Space Age Love Song," "Always Something There to Remind Me," "Promises, Promises," "Desire" and "Jealous" to name a few).
So get out the hairspray if you want to try to emulate Flock singer Mike Score's famous hairstyle because I've got a pair of tickets to give away to a synth-lovin' fan. (If you want to buy tix, go here.)
All you need to do is leave a message below with your favorite '80s memory and I'll randomly choose a winner at 2 p.m. Friday (the winner can pick up the tickets at will call the night of the show). So no, the stories don't factor into whether or not you win, but I'd like to read them!
Good luck.

I was born in 1989 so that wasn't pretty much my happiest memory from the 80's. Other than that I thoroughly enjoyed Transformers and GI Joe growing up!

Born at the beginning of the decade so I had plenty of time to enjoy living through the 80s! My favorite memories consist of watching all the amazing kids' TV shows (Punky Brewster was one I was especially obsessed with), wearing mismatched neon clothes, crimping my hair, wearing slapstick bracelets, and rolling down my socks. And of course with awesome 80s music as my life's soundtrack!

The thing that strikes me about the 80s is that the music seemed much more innocent. While it may have lacked the deep political themes of the 60s and early 70s, the music did reflect a somewhat radical shift in the paradigm of popular American culture. From the big hair to the power ballads to Ghost Busters and ET, the 80s were my teenage years, and all those memories (good and bad) will forever remain an integral part of my identity. I mean, I still tear up when thinking about Pat Benatar fight dancing in "Love is a Battlefield." And I remember watching the JoBoxer's "Just Got Lucky" and Dexy's Midnight Runners' "Come on Eileen" on TBS's Night Tracks!!!

My favorite 80s memories- hanging out in Savannah from 2-6 am. The city was ours with nary a soul stirring. We would climb to the rooftops of the buildings and look over our "kingdom" and talk about life, love, and the future. We would hang out by the river, on the steps of the cathedral, and at the cemetery with Button Gwinnett- there we would play hide and seek. A time before cell phones, internet, and locks and barriers to prevent you from exploring. We had many adventures- oh the tales I could tell. I would not trade these memories for anything in the world. Music takes me back to this time- even if it is just for a moment.

That was my time… 1983… new wave bands, falling in love for the first time, music vids that hardly exist today. I went to punk dances at school, where we jumped around to Devo, Flock of Seagulls, GoGo's etc. but unfortunately wasn't allowed to go to concerts until I went away to college. When I finally got free, my first concert was Iron Maiden/Quiet Riot… really wanted to see Quiet and Maiden was quite scary to me. I missed a lot of the new wave concerts because I didn't have the money. So my experience has been that I now get to see the bands that I missed at that age… kind of sad in a way, but cool at the same time.
I guess I would have to say that my fondest memory is visiting my cousins in Detroit and getting to watch all of the vids at the time and sitting around singing the songs which of course included Flock of Seagulls, Wall of Voodoo, Naked Eyes, Culture Club, Duran Duran.. etc. It was so freeing to be there and to be happy in that time. I also remember skating with one of my cousins to Little Red Corvette….ah the memories.
In college, we dressed up as Vanity Six for Halloween because we were all obsessed with being them and hoping to meet Prince…
I could go on, because there are so many memories of the 80's that are pretty cool and certainly shaped the person that I am. But more importantly I think the music of that decade (though unfortunately made fun of) is truly something that is now becoming evident in the significance of the music scene. And as I said earlier today… vindication.. sometimes it just takes time.

The 688 Club! Saw a bunch of bands there including REM and Jason's Nashville Scorchers one cold January night. Also, was on business in NYC in 82, and saw A Flock of Seagulls at the Peppermint Lounge. Would love to revisit those days.

Well my favorite 80s memories are being relived in my 12 year old daughter who dressed up as Madonna for Halloween. She thinks 80s music is wonderful and is a big fan of Michael Jackson (of couse we had to go see the Cirque show "Immortal" so she could hear and see all of his music and dance moves being performed. I've share with her all of the things I did growing up as a teenager graduating highschool in 1986. Our homecoming theme was Purple Rain, so Prince was dominating the airwaves my Senior Year.
On the movie front, we have allowed her to see some of the classic movies of the 80s – "Ghostbusters", "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", "Sixteen Candles", "Back to the Future" just to name of few. It is so neat to have kids enjoy the things that their parents loved. Long live the 80s!

I recently had to rank my 10 favorite songs of all time. A solid handful,we're from the 80's, and on my iPods/phones/pads, I am repeatedly drawn to that decade. First off, I consider R.E.M & The Replacements as the two best American bands ever. Their influence is all over countless bands that have evolved from their true respective indie, and garage, styles. Second, the Clash & the Smiths produced some of my favorite music ever – and for totally opposite reasons. I never got to see the Clash, but when I saw Joe Strummer, he played some of those great Clash songs. It was goosebump inducing. I did see the Smiths, and Morrissey still can get there when you see him. Johnny Marr made some of the most melodic Britpop ever, and Morrissey's lyrics remain some of the funniest ever written, with a biting, Oscar Wilde-esque wit that was an apt critique of this side of the pond as much as that side of the pond. And how about Elvis Costello? His catalog is almost without parallel. Even though they came out in the late seventies, his first two records remain linchpins in the new wave genre, and sound as fresh right now as they did then. The 80's will likely be the last decade with a significant number of bands to last for decades. It's output already surpasses the 90's, and I highly doubt that many artists starting out in the new millennium have the chops to last for as long as many artists have from the 80's. Sure, there were many one hit, or one album wonders, but the decade that gave us XTC, Police, Madness, B-52's, Pretenders, Squeeze, U2, X, Joe Jackson, Graham Parker, Echo & the Bunnymen, Psych Furs, Church, Go-Go's, Depeche Mode, OMD, New Order, Midnight Oil, and countless others, is a decade that might get less credit than is deserved.
If you win the drawing, have fun!

Of the entire decade, one would be hard pressed to find a more perfect pop song than "Wishing (If I Had A Photograph of You)". Tons of bands work their entire musical career and never create a song closer to musical perfection than that gem.

The look on my Advanced Calculus teacher face was priceless. Oh, to be young and clueless…

Oh the 80's!!! What a great time. Some of the things that come to mind when I think of the 80's are big hair, lace gloves (like what Madonna wore-had at least 3 pair-LOL), leg warmers and those plastic charm braclets-oh and the jelly braclets and shoes. Wow, as I write I keep thinking of more, I could go on and on. Have you noticed that some of the 80's items are making a comeback? Like Neon??? I don't think we will ever get back to the Big Hair days though. Such good times and good memories!

For me the memories of the '80″ is all about music. I remember going to see the Hooters at the sold out Tower Theater in Upper Darby PA. The opening band was an English Band called The Outfield. It was a great show. There were lot's of other great show and bands. Good memories!

My favorite 80's memories are about high school dances, big hair, whitewashed jeans and dancing to Madonna's Lucky Star with a giant bow in the front of my hair. I still listen to 80's music now with my kids and we're making new memories all the time! Also, my first concert was Hall & Oates in 1983! It was fantastic!

My parents bought tickets and took me to see the Jackson's in Neyland Stadium in Knoxville for the Victory Tour! I was about ten years old and loved it! This was on the heels of my first concert – Culture Club!

For nearly 50 years, Joan Woodbury has been dancing, explaining and promoting the work of modern dance pioneer Alwin Nikolais.
Nikolais, who was born in 1910 and died in 1993, is the choreographer and impresario recognized as the founder of multimedia dance, drawing upon his experience as a puppeteer and a pianist for silent movies.
Color me a 'Kaleidoscope'
Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company presents "Two," a family show of the works of Alwin Nikolais, including pieces such as "Gallery," "Tensile Involvement," "Noumenon Mobilus," and "Kaleidoscope."
When » Friday and Saturday, Feb. 1-2 at 7 p.m.; and 2 p.m. Feb. 2.
Where » Capitol Theatre, 50 W. 200 South, Salt Lake City
Tickets » $30 ($15 students/seniors; with family and group discounts), at arttix.org or 801-355-2787.
Also » In addition to public performances, the company will perform five free student matinees to 7,000 students and teachers, thanks to funding from the Utah State Office of Education POPS Program, the Utah Arts Council, the Salt Lake Arts Council and company sponsors.
More » Nikolais' multimedia dances influenced contemporary performers such as Blue Man Group, Cirque du Soleil, Pilobolus, and Momix.

At age 22, Woodbury met and studied with Nikolais, later returning home to Utah where she taught his technique at the University of Utah. Her friend and colleague, Shirley Ririe, also studied with Nikolais. When Woodbury and Ririe founded their Salt Lake City dance company in 1964, they continued to promote his legacy.
"He challenged me as a choreographer to think more deeply, to work poetically, and to use the technology at hand — which at that time was rear-screen projectors and slide projectors — in my own work," Woodbury says. "His choreography was the vanguard of works that were being made in the '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s and '80s. He created works that have transcended his life on this Earth, and are as current today as they were when they were created."
But that's not why arts lovers should turn out to see Ririe-Woodbury's "Kaleidoscope," a concert-length show of Nikolais works. "Nik said he was making dances for the common man," Woodbury says. "I remember him always saying, 'I want Aunt Minnie to see my dances and enjoy them.'"
Elizabeth Kelley-Wilberg, who danced with the company from 2006 to 2012, is returning to perform in next weekend's show. "I've been doing a lot of these pieces for seven years, but you have to be ever-so-present, with either the props or the counting, because something could go wrong," she said. "That helps me not get too comfortable. As a performer, I find that so gratifying."
Gratifying, too, is the work of Nikolais' dances, some of which require the dancers to wear masks. "It helps you to be a bigger performer," Kelley-Wilberg said. "You're filling the whole space in each piece. You're so used to being who you are — but when you are disguised, what you have to do is to make yourself appear big. You still have to make your individual movement unique, even though you are disguised and you're doing something that's very uniform."
For Mary Lyn Graves, the newest member of Ririe-Woodbury, learning Nikolais' work is challenging, as it's unlike any other genre of dance she's studied or performed. After all, "you're creating illusions with the human body that don't necessarily look like the human body," Graves says. "How do you do that in a clear and impactful way?"
And then there's Nikolais' complicated use of props and masks. "Performing in a mask changes how you think about things," says Graves, a 23-year-old dancer originally from Tulsa, Okla. "You realize how much you use your face and things like peripheral vision. When you're in unison, you're truly in unison. Even if you can't see each other, you're still moving in one organic body."
One work that requires particular attention is "Tensile Involvement." "'Tensile' is one of those pieces — with the elastics — where I never feel safe," Kelley-Wilberg said. "I don't want to feel safe with it. I want to feel excited, that adrenaline rush."
In collaboration with the Nikolais/Louis Foundation, Ririe-Woodbury is the only professional dance company in the world allowed to present full-evening performances of Nikolais' works. To celebrate the centennial of the choreographer's birth, Ririe-Woodbury recently toured nationally and internationally.
His works are often performed for family shows, and kids in the audience often are inspired to respond to the theatricality of the work, to the black light effects, to the illusions and the colorful costumes. Oftentimes, kids in their seats in the Capitol Theatre will mirror the shapes and motions the dancers are making onstage.
"I love doing the children's show," Kelley-Wilberg said. "It's always in January or February, and it's always freezing cold outside. But that show week, there's something magical at the Capitol Theatre. We bus those kids in, do two shows a day. During the night shows, we go out into the audience, and they want our autographs. For me, it's gratifying."
As for Graves, she's come to appreciate how far Nikolais' influence spread beyond the dance world. Her boyfriend, a musician and visual artist, was aware of Nikolais' work with synthesizers, sound, projectors and technology.
Fans of "Tron" and video games should respond to Nikolais' work, the dancer says, because of the way the choreographer brings simple elements together, as well as his use of both shock and whimsy.
"Truthfully, if he were making work now, Nikolais would be working with video games in some way," Graves said. "You look at the older video games from the 1980s, and the visual makeup is the same coloring as a work like 'Gallery,' the same sharp movements."

Which of these common travel maladies have you suffered from? Vote in our poll!
Sarah Schlichter
Senior Editor
Independent Traveler
I don't usually get sick or jet lagged, but I have on more than one occasion had horrific allergic reactions to mosquito bites abroad. My most vivid memory of visiting Bulgaria is stumbling into a tiny pharmacy where someone thankfully translated well enough for me to score the local version of Benadryl, the instructions for which I could not read (lovely cyrillic alphabet). Now, I bring bug spray everywhere I go!
I have a history of occasional colitis and almost always get an attack on a longer holiday. The cause is eating stuff I should not eat. I always carry medication to resolve. I always get jet lag if the time change is more than 2-3 hours. I am flying home from Australia in a week. Talk about jet lag. . . .
As I've got older, I've started to suffer from jet lag after overnight flights- the last being from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, which landed in Manchester at 6am- but of course, I was ready for bed with a midnight clock! We reached home around 11am, and fell into bed.....and our dog sitter arrived an hour later with two excited dogs! She stayed for a long chat, during which time my OH managed to tip a mug of coffee all down my newly painted walls...
I've been struck with homesickness in some poverty stricken countries; I find it difficult to accept the misfortunes of some others, and, unable to do anything nor discuss it, find myself longing for my own country.
All but altitude sickness and heatstroke -- just give me a few more trips, right?
"I haven't been everywhere yet, but it's on my list." -- Susan Sontag
I didn't even know it existed until I did some searching ... but I get what I call reverse sea-sickness. I am fine while on a cruise ship, but a few hours after disembarking I am dizzy and a bit off kilter. It usually lasts for about 5 days. I think the medical term is mal de debarquement.
Last edited by JennK; 01-15-2013 at 10:23 AM.
I have actually had something similar to that post-cruise unsteadiness after a really long plane flight -- I often feel like I'm still moving.
It's never lasted more than a few hours though. Is there anything that helps the condition when it lasts so many days? Maybe something for motion sickness?
"I haven't been everywhere yet, but it's on my list." -- Susan Sontag
I believe that some doctors prescribe something similar to sea sickness pills if it's long lasting- in a few, rare cases it continues for weeks and even longer.
I feel it more after long car or train journeys, but it's never lasted for longer than a day or two.
I have heard people use seasick meds for it but I just deal. It never really effects me badly enough so that I can't get through my day.

Nuance Communications: Trader talks up Siri
This company's Siri technology is proving to be a killer app for Apple's iPhone 4S.
By Mike Cintolo, Cabot Top Ten Report
It's always good for sales when a product has an engaging spokesperson, and Nuance Communications (NUAN) has found a great one in Siri, the voice-activated personal digital assistant on the new iPhone 4S from Apple (AAPL).
The Siri feature is proving to be the killer app for the iPhone line, generating huge buzz.
And the engine behind Siri is Nuance Communication's Dragon speech recognition software, which has long been recognized as the best in the business, enabling voice dictation that's accurate and fast.
The company has more than 35 regional offices and sales representatives in more than 70 countries.
In addition, the company has a promising new Swype technology that allows word creation on touch-phone screens by continuous tracing over the virtual keyboard without lifting your finger, but Siri is clearly in the driver's seat.
Post continues below:
Investors are intrigued, and when Nuance reports Q3 earnings on November 22, results are expected to be impressive.
We don't advocate betting on results, but Nuance has been the Editor's Choice in three of its five appearances in Cabot Top Ten Trader, so we clearly like the story.
NUAN has been on a roll since it corrected to 16 in early August. The stock has been rising steadily since early September, with a big-volume day coming on October 18 after the company raised its Q4 outlook.
The stock has paused under resistance at 27 for a little over a week, which may indicate some wait-and-see action among investors.
With the 25-day moving average keeping pace at 24, we think NUAN looks buyable anywhere under 26. If you decide to get in before earnings, keep it small, with a stop at 22.

This year has been extremely hard on people with allergies. Here in the Ohio Valley, the tree pollen was higher than in previous years! Even people who have not had allergies in the past were exhibiting symptoms including myself. I was pretty symptom free during the day, but at night my throat got really scratchy and even somewhat sore.
But, it's my 8 year old grandson who really suffers who allergies. He started about 2 years ago in the spring. His eyes get red, watery and itch terribly. In fact, the school called last year two days for him to be picked up because of it. It got so bad that my daughter took him to the doctor and they prescribed a children's anti-histamine drug. But the drug didn't help much. He still had symptoms. In the previous 2 years my daughter used Young Living's Essential Oils like Lavender to help with his allergies and got very good results.
So, she decided to start using them again. She applied the oils on his feet morning and evening, and also on his chest and back. She DIFFUSED Lavender and the blend of R.C. at night in his bedroom as well. She also gave him Young Living's Super C Chewable Tablets to boost the immunity. Vitamin C is also a natural anti-histamine. With this protocol he was virtually symptom-free. As for me, I diffused the same oils in my bedroom at night and did not have the scratchy sore throat.
I am so pleased the Young Living Oils worked so well and that we have options other than drugs that have NO side effects. So if you have allergies of any kind, I would suggest trying the Young Living Essential Oils. You can also find more information about allergies in The Essential Oils Desk Reference Book.
Be sure to get my free report to learn more about how to use these oils. They truly will change your life!
Carol is an essential oil educator and a certified reflexologist. As a distributor of Young Living Essential Oils, she teaches the importance of using genuine, authentic essential oils for health and healing. She has been an advocate of natural health and wellness for the past 35 years. Among the things she has studied includes, the use essential oils, iridology, muscle testing, nutrition, tapping and other forms of energy medicine.
As always my thoughts are for general educational purposes only.

A man suspected of sexually assaulting young immigrant boys and forcing them to distribute drugs was booked this week into the Salt Lake County jail.
In a case that spotlights the state's immigrant-crimes task force — even as legislators debate its future — Victor Rax, 42, was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of human trafficking, distributing controlled substances, child endangerment and sexual activity with a minor, according to jail statements.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Rax has long been under investigation by multiple agencies, who say he has targeted teenage immigrant boys for sexual abuse and coerced them to deliver drugs in their high schools by threatening their families, who live in Utah illegally, said Ken Wallentine, chief of law enforcement for the Utah attorney general's office and investigator for the office's SECURE Strike Force on immigrant crime.
Three victims have come forward: a 15-year-old who was 14 when the abuse began, an 18-year-old who was 16 when the abuse started, and a 17-year-old, jail documents state. They have been given meth, cocaine, marijuana and spice, police wrote.
"He's been able to intimidate and threaten victims," Wallentine said Thursday. "He says, 'I own you; I own your families.' "
In recent years, one agency — Wallentine wouldn't say which — was ready to charge Rax when the victim backed out. Officers even threatened to deport the victim if he did not testify, and still he refused, fearing for his family.
"He said, 'Deport me to hell,' " Wallentine said.
This time, the task force has set up a number of protections for the victims, though Wallentine would not describe them.
The task force also took a more sensitive approach to the victims' immigration status, Wallentine said. When it was created in 2009, officers who were handpicked for cultural sensitivity and language skills began building relationships in immigrant communities, contacting religious leaders and amassing a track record of honoring promises to not arrest or deport witnesses who cooperate, Wallentine said.
One of those clerics happened to be the minister of one of the victims in this week's arrest and persuaded the boy to go to the task force.
"A seed planted four years ago led to the fruition of this case," Wallentine said. "[Without those relationships] you don't get to a point where someone trusts you to talk about Victor Rax."
Officers arrested Rax in his car Tuesday near 4100 South and 900 West, Wallentine said. One of the victims was with Rax at the time, and another told police he had been given two pounds of marijuana to take to high school the next day.
Wallentine was among several law enforcement officers who joined Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes and a number of legislators at a news conference to discuss the strike force's successes — 200 prosecutions in cases involving drugs, forgery, fraud, piracy and human trafficking, according to strike force prosecutor Greg Ferbrache.
Meanwhile, lawmakers are debating a bill to transfer the strike force from the attorney general's office to the Department of Public Safety.
Rep. Richard Greenwood, R-Roy, sponsor of HB100, said the current organization opens the state to accusations of conflicts of interest.
"When you have the investigators and prosecutors in the same office serving the same boss, I think there could be a perception among the people we serve ... that there's not a good check and balance."
For instance, a suspect could claim he is being targeted because of a personal conflict with the attorney general, said Greenwood, who is a retired state trooper.
"They have not been doing anything wrong at all," he said of the strike force. "But it's a public policy issue. I think it's more transparent."
Ferbrache said keeping investigative and prosecutorial functions together is a major factor in the strike force's success. In particular, it enables the unit to make guarantees to cooperative witnesses that they will not be punished for working with law enforcement — an important promise in the Rax case, since the victims technically have committed drug crimes.
"We're having this conversation not when a case is filed, but when victims are identified," Ferbrache said.
But Greenwood said there is nothing stopping police and prosecutors from making those arrangements if the strike force moves to DPS.Next Page >

NCI's Ann O'Mara Receives American Pain Society Award
The American Pain Society recently awarded the John and Emma Bonica Public Service Award to Dr. Ann O'Mara, head of palliative research in NCI's Division of Cancer Prevention.
The award is named for John Bonica, a leader in the pain treatment movement, and his wife, Emma. The award honors outstanding contributions by an individual or organization to further knowledge about pain through public education, dissemination of information, public service, or other efforts.
Dr. O'Mara has conducted research on end-of-life care and on the education of nurses and physicians about palliative care. Her publications have focused primarily on quality-of-life issues facing patients with cancer and their families through all stages of the disease. She manages a portfolio of symptom management, palliative care, and end-of-life care research projects. Most of these projects cover adverse effects associated with cancer and its treatment, including pain, chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and psychosocial issues such as distress, anxiety, and depression.
Cancer Classroom Webinar: The Social Determinants of Health
As part of the Cancer Classroom Series, NCI will offer a webinar titled "Social Determinants of Health: Implications for Cancer Control" on June 5, 2:00–3:00 p.m. ET.
Dr. Shobha Srinivasan will provide an overview of the complex social structures and economic systems that are responsible for most health inequalities, their influence on cancer, and implications for cancer control. These social structures and economic systems include the social and physical environment, health services, and structural and societal factors.
At the end of the presentation, participants will be able to
- identify factors related to social determinants of health;
- describe the relationship between social determinants of health and health inequalities;
- discuss how social determinants of health may influence cancer and cancer control; and
- identify NCI resources for cancer screening, education, and outreach.
The Cancer Classroom Series provides early-career public health professionals and those new to oncology the educational guidance, tools, and resources necessary to address cancer as a public health issue.
Workshops are free, but preregistration is required and space is limited. To register for "Social Determinants of Health" or to find out about upcoming sessions, visit the series website.

sage mode
Why isn't this a poll? But Sage Mode for me.
[QUOTE=psukkar;3397836]Sage mode will be Naruto's truimp card becuase Madara maynot know what sage mode is so this could be the frist time we see madara not knowing how to counter something. QUOTE]
I'm pretty sure that the fight with Pein was revealed to Madara as well as Sage Mode.
It would be best if Naruto entered the battle in Sage mode and destroyed everyone. Then when his Sage mode wears off go Kyuubi Mode and destroy everyone who survived. But knowing Naruto he is just going to go in there in Kyuubi mode and have the Kyuubi eat away at him. If he was able to combine the two that would be awesome, but it seems he would need to train a lot to be able to do it. If Kishi does somehow makes Naruto go both modes without training I'll be a little upset
You can't learn Kyubi mode, you can always learn sage. And if he didn't have the kyubi, he more then likely wouldn't have sage mode, or actually he would but wouldn't be able to hold it as long. You can just to do so much more with Kyubi mode, especially when you learn to control the beast.

CHOC Children's (Children's Hospital of Orange County) (CHOC) is pleased to offer up to 3 one-year, full time, postdoctoral fellowships in the Department of Pediatric Psychology. The training year begins on August 25, 2014 and ends on August 21, 2015. The postdoctoral fellowships are a part of the Psychology Training Program that includes an APA accredited internship. The postdoctoral fellowships at CHOC offer advanced training in the area of pediatric and/or child psychology. The goal of the training program is to allow fellows to further their professional development so that they can function independently as a psychologist across a wide variety of settings. The training program is designed to allow for the natural progression from internship training, where a variety of new clinical skills are learned, to a greater focus on the application of these skills with an increasing degree of independence. Along with this focus, training increasingly focuses on the development of professional skills necessary for independent functioning (areas include serving as a consultant within specific medical teams, program development, and/or grant writing). Fellows will receive training in assessment and consultation within a medical/clinical setting as well as additional experiences with more traditional intervention or assessment outpatient cases. ?

Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz thinks that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton might be running away from President Obama's rocky record on Obamacare.
Today on Fox News, Cruz pointed to former President Bill Clinton's remarks about Obama failing to keep his promise to Americans that they could keep their health care plans if they liked them.
"That was certainly revealing and it suggests perhaps that Hillary Clinton is looking to run away from President Obama and Obamacare and that ought to be a signal to Democrats -- this thing isn't working," Cruz said.
More people have lost their health insurance as a result of Obamacare, than people who have successfully enrolled in the program, Cruz noted, suggesting that it was a signal to both parties to start over.
An estimated 50,000 people have either paid for or put a particular health insurance plan in their shopping cart on healthcare.gov since its launch Oct. 1, but five million or more have been told their health insurance policies are being cancelled because they don't comply with Obamacare.
"I don't think it's fixable," Cruz said. "The White House is coming in with all of these fixes and bells and whistles but they're not going to work. It's fundamentally flawed."

Infertility: Navigating the Emotional Journey
By the author of A Couple's Handbook for When You Want to Have a Baby (More Than Anything Else)
Questioning why infertility happens is normal. We live in a country that upholds the "cause and effect principle," therefore, searching for answers comes naturally. So the ability to accept randomness is foreign and often uncomfortable. Infertility often poses the first threat to our belief that we can control life events. This desire for control is not uncommon. Typically our past efforts have always led us to believe we do have control over life events. Infertility experiences bring our control into question, and can lead to increased anxiety about other areas of life. I call this the mushroom effect.
In order to prevent the mushroom effect from occurring it is beneficial to acknowledge areas of your life that you do control and accept those that you can't. For some individuals turning toward spirituality can provide comfort and support in the process of letting go of the need to control. Often one of the benefits of infertility is the opportunity to develop a greater appreciation for life. The knowledge that sometimes bad things can happen often inspires an increased enjoyment in good things when they occur.
Many times the quest for an explanation for the infertility can lead to self-blame. Individuals who have experienced a sexually transmitted disease, abortion, sterilization, or thoughts of never wanting children are at increased risk for feelings of blame or guilt. Taking on feelings of blame and guilt can lead to decreased self-esteem. Therefore, it is important to challenge negative thoughts. Remember that it's always easy to come up with a better answer after we see the result of our previous decisions. Yet, second-guessing does more harm than good.
For some couples unspoken feelings of blame and guilt can lead to marital sabotage. Sometimes one partner makes a decision that the other deserves a better life and an opportunity to parent. In an effort to make this happen they will either ask for a divorce, or make life so difficult that the other partner is forced to leave. Remember that you are together because you love each other and wanted to share your lives, not for each other's reproductive capacity. Unresolved blame and guilt can cause you to feel stuck. This can lead to an unending pursuit of treatment for self-punishment, or refusal to try treatments because of a belief that you don't deserve to be a parent. When feelings of blame and guilt are deeply ingrained, it is beneficial to explore counseling in an effort to better understand the impact these emotions can have on you and your relationship.
Infertility is a personal experience. Often couples are uncomfortable discussing their fertility with others. Issues of embarrassment talking about sexuality and reproduction, and feelings of inadequacy or shame can lead to cutting off potential support of others. Many times being around others who have children can be a source of pain. The reminder that "they have what I want" often leads to sadness and jealousy, and, ultimately, a distancing in the relationship. Unfortunately, elimination of social connections can lead to increased isolation and lack of support. Be aware of your reasons for distancing yourself from friends, family and colleagues. There certainly are people who "just don't understand" and can say hurtful things. With some education and direct communication you will find that friends and family do want to help, but just don't know how. Remember that direct communication of your needs benefits both you and those who wish to help. I certainly don't advocate discussion of your situation with everyone. It is a good idea to consider which individuals are support systems, and which are systems that you are supporting. Typically if someone is willing to just listen and respond to your needs, they are supportive. On the other hand, if you find yourself "acting fine" or saying "I'm doing great" when in fact you're not, that is someone you are supporting.
Support groups can be very helpful in decreasing the feeling "that we're the only ones who can't get pregnant." Often you may feel that no one else has ever been infertile. Support groups can be helpful in normalizing the prevalence of infertility and your emotional responses to this experience.

An off-duty pilot is facing charges after he was accused of groping a 14-year-old girl who was seated next to him on a flight from Detroit to Salt Lake City, Utah.
45-year-old Michael James Pascal works as a Delta Connection pilot and was charged with abusive sexual contact on an aircraft according to a felony complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City. The teen was flying as an unaccompanied minor and was seated next to Pascal on the flight Saturday evening.
The girl told police she woke up during the flight to find Pascal had lifted the armrest between them and had his hand under her buttocks.
According to FOX 13 in Salt Lake City, the teenager told police she hit Pascal in the right arm with her elbow. 'What the hell are you doing?' she asked. Pascal, reportedly apologized and told the girl he was asleep. He then left to use the restroom. The girl reported the incident to the flight crew and requested another seat.
Airport Police met the plane when they landed in Salt Lake City.
Pascal stated that he fell asleep with his hands in his lap and does not recall where his hands were when the girl awoke him. He stated he believes it's possible for his hand to have fallen in the victim's seat while he was asleep, the complaint stated.
Pascal was being held at the Salt Lake County Jail and was taken into custody by the U.S. Marshal's Office Tuesday.

Inside The Lovely Studio Of Adore Vintage
Studio Tour
Name: Rodellee Bas- owner of Adore Vintage
Location: Fashion District – Downtown Los Angeles, CA
Size: 300 square feet
Years worked in: 2 months
Rodellee moved into her downtown workspace just a couple months ago, as she's expanded the audience of her online vintage shop. She needed to have an official space to get all her e-commerce shoots done, and a place to have shoppers actually come in to try things on. She's taken over this wonderful loft space, adding gorgeous nostalgic accessories and vintage furniture to a room already blessed with the most incredible windows full of natural light.
The last time we visited with Rodellee was when we toured her incredibly stylish studio apartment, which is not much larger than her current workspace. She is a fashion stylist and also owner of an online vintage shop aptly titled Adore Vintage. Her workspace is a gorgeous showroom which displays her fondness for beautiful, feminine furniture and clothing. She has made plenty of space for photographing all the pieces, a shipping station for packaging, and putting clothing on display for customers. Visiting her work loft is like visiting a vintage Parisian atelier. J'adore for sure! She even did a tap dance for me before I left. :)
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: Industrial warehouse meets vintage pretty.
Inspiration: My apartment is very feminine and vintage, and I wanted my workspace to have some more neutral and masculine elements but still stay true to my vintage aesthetic. I also wanted the space to feel very sparse and open and really have the focus be on the vintage garments and wares I carry.
Favorite Element: The industrial workbench and the large lockers, which I picked up from the Long Beach flea market.
Biggest Challenge: Storage is a bit problematic. When all my vintage stock was stored my apartment I had plenty of closets and cupboards to put everything away in. Here in my studio everything is left out in the open, and I really despise clutter and a mess. So I am constantly color coding my racks and arranging things on the shelves so that it always looks neat and pleasing to the eye.
What Friends Say: That I should throw parties here. Which I respond to with a worried look, imagining people spilling cocktails on my collection of Edwardian dresses. But maybe a tea party, that would be lovely. With hats required!
Area where there is room for improvement/future projects: I need storage options. I have my eyes set on a few vintage curios at various antique shops, but I might have open shelving built from metal piping and recycled wood materials. I also need to install curtains to keep the sun away from my vintage stock, as sunlight can be really damaging to fabric, especially delicate dresses from the turn of the century.
Proudest DIY: Painting the studio! Two of the walls were painted this eyesore shade of turquoise blue. It took three coats of primer to get rid of this blue! The walls took me an entire week to paint. Luckily I had some help.
Biggest Indulgence: Probably my vintage dress forms. I just love these old forms. I've added to my collection of vintage dress forms since you last saw me!
Best advice about organizing: I color code to keep things looking organized when you can't put things away somewhere. Little things I place in small boxes, which I store in my lockers.

I love the green bench and chair.
Such a pretty pose! Judging from her foot position I would guess she's had dance training. Will check out online shop.
Web shop link says it is no more?
@Rural and Rueful - I think they just fixed my url link (it's the etsy link)
And yes, I have had dance training. I started ballet training when I was 9 when I moved to the States.
@Lyonstill - Thank you :D
It just occurred to me that you don't need those cardboard backing boards on the Billy bookcases. They simply take on the color contrast of the walls.
Thanks Rodellee!
Rodellee, I have really enjoyed all your tours and your new space is beautiful. That green bench is amazing! Lots of prosperity and blessings to you in your new work home :)
Rodellee you look so young to have your own business. Go girl!
On throwing a tea party there, with hats...
Contact some local tea shops, or perhaps a tea shop and a small pastry shop. Work with new or smallish ones that need exposure, and use your space for a paired tasting. Limit admission, charge in advance ($25? $30?). Require hats. :)
I have that same bench. And I LOVE IT - My Bench
She's lucky, her fabric looks original… mine was recovered in a particularly ugly print. I've procrastinated redoing it; tufted upholstery is not something I have the patience to tackle.
I think I was on her etsy site last week looking for an outfit to wear to a Speakeasy party!
Pretty photos!
How does one afford a shop and an apartment in Los Angeles, tho? I grew up there and know the $$$.
Yay Rodelle! Have really enjoyed seeing your many beautiful creations featured here over the years. Keep it up. You radiate grace - inspirational! ;}
The dress are so amazing !!!
@MAYNELANDER - Thank you for the great suggestion! I am thinking of just using really sheer white curtains for my windows. I really love lots of natural light too so I want to keep my windows looking as "naked" as possible. :)
@Cara100 It's in the genes, I'm not as young as I look ;)
You are in a great locale to use the resources of the theatre community. There are places that have very wide fabric (for stage) that could be adapted to those windows. I love your idea of the board and pipe shelves. The first time I saw them on AT I "swooned" :-). Enjoy your new space.
So happy to see another tour of yours, I was so inspired by your studio tour. The shop is divine!
Beautiful space and things, but you lost me by the 15th pic!!!!
Lovely shop and lovely owner.
You are unique and adorable. Your shop fits you! Best of luck.
Could she come design my house for me? This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I can't imagine what her house looks like.
