French (not Death) Valley Flyout: March 31, 2013
Talk about the need to be flexible when flying - well, more than when flying a commercial airline, at least!
David Werntz, one of the instructors at the Caltech Aero Club, had tried to arrange a flyout to the Furnace Creek Airport (L06) in Death Valley, CA. Over the last few days, we had noticed that the weather in and around the SoCal area was steadily deteriorating, and last night we realized from the weather forecasts that not only was the cloud cover over SoCal going to make it difficult for us but that the winds in the desert were going to be picking up pretty bad. For example, current (at the time of this post) winds at Edwards Air Force Base are from the West-Southwest (240 degrees) 19 knots with gusts of up to 25 knots.
To make a long story short, most of us were uncomfortable with flying in such high winds and, potentially, the associated turbulence. So, this morning, we met up at El Monte to figure out what to do. Now, as any one who knows pilots will admit, when the best laid plans of pilots are defeated by weather pilots (akin to toddlers) are bound to sulk, mope and, in occasional cases, throw a tantrum - the primary objective being a flight somewhere :-)
Thankfully, there were no tantrums this morning, but we all figured we should fly somewhere closer than Furnace Creek so that we could return to El Monte if the weather started taking a turn for the worse. After a little bit of discussion, consensus was arrived upon in favor of flying to French Valley Airport (F70) near Murietta. The airport restaurant was open and that's all that we needed.
So, off we went - a crew of 16 club members in 5 aircraft - 3 C172s, a C152 and a Piper Archer.
Flying to French Valley was relatively uneventful. We headed east from El Monte, found the I-15 just southeast of Chino and followed it all the way to Murietta close to where it merges with the I-215. SoCal Approach informed us that the Lake Elsinore parachute drop zone was active and so we stayed east of the 15 freeway. On seeing so many aircraft heading from El Monte to French Valley the controller at March AFB approach (rather wistfully, in my opinion) asked us whether we were part of a flying club. I replied with the affirmative and that was that. Weather at French Valley was excellent - sunny skies, a little windy, but just amazing.
Here's a picture of our flight path to French Valley.
Brunch at French Valley was excellent. I particularly loved my veggie burger, which seemed custom made as opposed to the Boca Burger junk that many restaurants seem to peddle.
Flying back from French Valley was not as uneventful as I'd hoped. The clouds were moving in from the west and the cloud base was at 5,000 feet on departure from French Valley. I wanted to go to 4,500 feet, but decided to only climb to 4,200 feet to avoid getting too close to the clouds. As we cleared Lake Matthews and started to have a better look at the LA Basin, we noticed the cloud base had dropped even further, with El Monte reporting cloud bases at 3,400 feet. We dropped to 2,500 feet near Chino airport, after letting SoCal Approach know. I followed the I-10 all the way back to Chino, was cleared left base for runway 19 and landed. Not my best landing, but as they say, "any landing that you can walk away from is a good landing :-)"
Here's a picture of our flight path from French Valley.
All in all, it was an excellent flyout. A lot of fun and camaraderie with a bunch of great people.
I'm still sulking about not making it to Death Valley, but as all toddlers (and pilots) do, I'll get over it :-)
Happy Easter!

One of the best kept secrets in modern crime fiction are the books of the French writer Fred Vargas. Trained at the Sorbonne as an archaeologist, her doctoral thesis was on the Black Death. Since then, she has written eight crime novels, most of them featuring the Paris policeman Commissaire Adamsberg of the Serious Crime Squad, whose major gift is his unconventionality and a willingness to suspend belief. In this latest installment of Adamsberg novels, THE GHOST RIDERS OF ORDEBEC, he leaves Paris for rural Normandy, where a woman has seen a vision of ghostly horsemen, which since the Middle Ages have been associated with violent crimes in the community. Adamsberg is prepared to take the paranormal seriously, although as it turns out the violence has a quite human face. Like all Vargas novels, this one is rich in French atmosphere and a foreboding sense of the irrational.
One of Jack's favourite Italian detectives of the 1990s was Commissario Trotti of Florence, in a series written by the Englishman Timothy Williams. Trotti disappeared from the scene after the fifth in the series, entitled BIG ITALY, published in 1996. A couple of years ago, Whodunit? received a letter from Williams explaining that his crime fiction career had ceased when his publisher had stopped publishing, but promising a new series soon. ANOTHER SUN fulfills that promise. It is set on the French Island of Guadeloupe, where Williams has lived since 1980, and features a female judge named Anne Marie Laveaud, who is an Algerian married to a local. In the French legal system, judges are responsible for much of the detecting, especially outside the urban areas. If you have ever wanted to learn more about the island of Guadeloupe, which was the sugar island many advocated should be retained by Britain instead of Canada at the peace treaty of 1763, here is your chance. Indeed, the book suffers to some extent from a superabundance of descriptive material about the setting, which is fascinating but sometimes gets in the way of the plot. Nevertheless, this is a worthy entrant in the international sweepstakes of crime fiction.

The other day I mentioned that I got some samples in my Good&Bad of the week so far 20/11/2013 post. I thought I would do a post showing you what I got and my first impressions. Then after I've tried them I will do some reviews. So without any further introduction, these are my samples...
NP Set Luscious Lip Shine
RRP $22.00, Colour: Marrakesh
When I first saw this sample I was really happy that it was a full-sized product however the colour made me step back. However I have tried this briefly and it looks really nice over a pink or red lip.
25% off voucher :) This is a good thing for NP Set to send especially as they can get a big pricey.
Waxaway 'Freedom for Sensitive & Delicate Skin' pack
I'm looking forward to trying this pack. It came with SO many things to try and looks fantastic.
Schick Hydro Silk
I was extremely impressed with the full size sample and the $5 off voucher. Good work Schick, it's these kinds of samples that really give you an idea of the product and make you go back for more!
As promised at the beginning of this post I will give more in-depth thoughts and reviews in a future post but just really wanted to show you what I got!
Do you have any good sample companies you use? I'm always looking to try new products :)

The Inaugural Post
We are praying this blog will be a blessing to others and a witness. We purposely chose to place our family blog on blog spot in order to reach people that would not enter into Christian blogs intentionally. I know I have been blessed and spurred on toward love and good deeds from the many other blogs I have been on the last few years.
Now, the pressure is on to have something to say.....
9 comments:
I'm thrilled to see you have a blog. Now I can keep up with the Wilsons...especially my nieces and nephew. I don't know where you find the time. :) I hope you all have a blessed and Merry Christmas, if I don't talk to you before then. Love, SReplyDelete
Congratulations, fellow blogger! I look forward to reading and keeping up with your crew.ReplyDelete
Yay!!!! So thrilled and impressed that you are totally jumping in with both feet!! Technology is amazing if used in a positive way!! Trust me, you will find things to say when you get accustomed to having this new "voice"! Or else just talk about the Wilsons! That works, too! :) BTW, what is a "dazzle"? I'll add you to my blog list, and follow you! Look forward to your insight!! :) Merry Christmas!! :)ReplyDelete
I look forward to reading your blog!ReplyDelete
A Dazzle is a machine that will transfer all of your VHS, Super8 and Hi8 to DVD. You can edit out all of the things you don't want-like hours of carpet when you thought your camera was off. You can add titles and fade in/out, and music. It is fun to get the kiddos onto the DVD so they can watch it.ReplyDelete
LOOKS AWESOME SWEETHEART!!!!!!!ReplyDelete
Look at you! I'm impressed. I enjoy reading blogs in my "spare time" (note the time I'm writing this!). My favorite blog is inashoe.com; I think you'd enjoy it. I'll add yours to my mental list of blogs to read when I'm ever on a computer. Now maybe instead of writing you long emails asking you about how you homeschool, etc., I can just come here?ReplyDelete
Ok., just clarification; that was not Christopher but Audrey! But you probably already knew that!!ReplyDelete
Welcome to the world of blogging! I too am looking forward to hearing from you on a more regular basis and am glad that you visited our blog. You are always welcome!ReplyDelete

well i missed last week, ummmmed and ahhhherd about whether to commit to something like this and guessed that i should finally commit to something in my life. So here goes off out to take my first pic!!
Just pretend that its last week and go for it!
here earlier today
Hey Mark you're not the only one who needs a bit of a shove sometimes. Personally, I thought this project would be a great place to motivate myself to do some of the things that I think about but never get around to.
Hope you stick with it and hope to see that first shot soon
Ok got off my fat behind and went out to try something ive never tried before (well thats the idea i suppose). I have to admit that im a bit of a gear head and can be a bit lazy about using the gear, thats sooo easy to buy!!
I bought a Light craft workshop variable ND filter last summer but have never used it before, i was in for a bit of a shock! Im in Genoa at the moment and in the central square there is a fountain and i thought id go and try to get some of those ghost like motion blur images. Easy yes? NO!
For some reason when i stopped down the filter i got uneven exposure across the frame you can get this with polarising filters ( which this is essentially 2 of mounted together) so i changed my angle to the sun, but still the same problem. After much huffing and puffing i noticed that the effect was more pronounced at shorter focal lengths with higher amounts of stopping down. The effect disappeared by the time i was using 60mm focal length, by then i was a little frustrated because i wanted to use my ultra wide to get the perspective that i wanted. im going to email LWC to confirm my suspicions but can feel the purchase of a set of ND filters and mounts on the way!!
This is the effect i was getting shot at 18mm f14 for 13 seconds with 8 stops of ND
This one worked was shot at 34mm f14 for 13 seconds with 4 stops ND
This worked as well and was shot at 18mm but i stopped the lens down to f18 for 2.5 and used less on the ND filter
I swopped to my ultra wide for this and stopped way down to f22 with just a 2 stops of ND 5 second exposure
For this one i used f 22 for 20 seconds at 18mm with 2 stops ND what i found interest is that as the people got closer to the camera and their angle became more oblique to me they essentially speed up and disappear off the image. Logical i know but id never thought of it before.
Lessons i learned today:
Variable ND filters arnt all they are cracked up to be and a good set of normal ND filters are probably easier to use and when you consider that you may need grads anyway, you will already have the holder dont waste your money like i did.
When you use these filters use manual focusing
Dont forget your remote release!! i used self timer, ok but not perfect
When the exposure finished i couldn't hear the shutter close, but the data writing light came on i found that useful
If you do use a variable ND remember that there is a correlation between focal length and the amount of stops you can use on the filter to get an even exposure you can check this by using live view.
When taking photos in public using a tripod lots of tourists will ask you to take their pics with their cameras for them they will all assume your local and speak to you in the local language........
there we go week 1 done...... now what shall i do for week 2???? suggestions on a post card please.
Last edited by Mark von Kanel; 8th January 2012 at 06:36 PM.
An update! just been on LCW's website and it now says that the stops gained are subject to focal length! problem solved. they also point out it can be used for hdr without altering camera settings..... interesting, might be a project for next week!
Some great shots there Mark and it also sounds like some good lessons learnt! I've been wondering about ND filters so it was great reading about what you'd learnt.
Wonderful use of Project 52 as a learning exercise ....... as well as shown a rather nice set of images..
Hi Mark! Even though the sky is blown out a bit, I really like what you've done in the 4th shot. Please keep posting images and writeups like this as I (and I'm sure, others as well) are learning from your experience. Thank you!

The Rushmore Report: Four Things You Need to Know About Conflict with North Korea
The rhetoric between leaders of The United States and North Korea escalated this week, when North Korea's Pyongyang threatened Guam and President Trump threatened with "fire and fury" if the rogue state continued its nuclear tests and verbal threats. Despite United Nations sanctions (including support from China and Russia), North Korea has yet to soften its tone or threats. All military analysts agree we are on the precipice of disaster – unless something happens to avert war. There are four things you need to know about the current conflict.
1. Does North Korea have nuclear weapons?
The simple answer is yes. Worse, the Korean military has figured out how to miniaturize a weapon, meaning they can deliver a bomb to a distant target such as the U.S. mainland. The North has been building and testing missiles for years. They have conducted five nuclear tests, each signifying greater capability than was previously known.
2. What is the rest of the world doing?
The UN Security Council has adopted a resolution that imposes new sanctions. This is the eighth set of sanctions in the last 11 years. To date, sanctions have done nothing to divert the North from their intentions. And North Korea's economy has somehow continued to expand and prosper despite these sanctions.
3. What has President Trump said about North Korea?
The president has called North Korean President Kim "a smart cookie." He has said of their nuclear aspirations, "It won't happen." And on Tuesday, he threatened "fire and fury such as the world has never seen" if Pyongyang endangered, or even threatened the United States. Yesterday, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson tamped down the rhetoric a bit. He said, "I think Americans should sleep well at night, have no concerns about this particular rhetoric of the last few days." But clearly, Mr. Trump stands ready to respond, and has been presented with multiple military plans of action.
4. What happens if war breaks out?
Any U.S.-led military action would be met with an aggressive response from the other side. Korea has threatened to send missiles to Hawaii and even the U.S. mainland. Clearly, South Korea, where thousands of U.S. soldiers are based, would be at great risk. Military analysts estimate that 30,000 civilians would be killed in a non-nuclear strike by North Korea on its southern neighbor. Should nuclear warheads be engaged, the number of lost lives would be counted in the millions. Is the U.S. mainland at risk? While the United States certainly has the capacity to shoot down any incoming missile, such a response has never been tested. Let us pray it never will be.

It doesn't.
A super bad movie which spelled disaster in each and every frame. Pretentious and predictive. If not for the Sathyam popcorn I don't know how I'd have been able to digest the movie. What's worse is this is only one half and the second one is coming.
The movie has a proper horror film opening with kids, darkness, attic, sewer etc. In other words uses every horror film template in those initial few minutes. Anyways it was nice. When the elder brother says that he's going to die soon, the unsympathetic attitude was good.
The Clown does a decent job in whatever time he gets. But this film works better as a teenage story than a horror one. Horror part were all jump cuts and only that. But the kids' story was fabulous. Wish had made that as a movie.
The fact the second part is gonna have them as grown-ups is even more horrifying. Hoping to not see it.

Minister good afternoon.
Good afternoon Luke.
Tell me about Harold Holt, now there's been a million conspiracy theories, but we'll start at the beginning – how did he get the top job in the land and tell us a bit about the man.
He was the very first Federal Member for Higgins in 1949 and he served in that capacity right up until his disappearance on 17 December 1967. He was a very accomplished man, he had been in the parliament for about 32 years, he served in a variety of different capacities, as Immigration Minister and obviously when he was Immigration Minister he was actually responsible for ending the White Australia policy. He was also actually a Federal Treasurer and the seat of Higgins has actually had two Federal Treasurers, also with Peter Costello, he was the Federal Treasurer from 1956 to 1959 and he established the Reserved Bank, which of course is absolutely critical to our whole financial infrastructure in this country. He introduced the decimal currency. He is someone who I think made an enormous contribution to this country and unfortunately, he's remembered very much in terms of the great disappearance, when he went missing at Cheviot Beach in December 1967, but an extraordinary man.
You might be the third Federal Treasurer, just quietly, from that seat, but I won't let you comment on that.
Well there's actually a Sharks fan who is currently the Federal Treasurer right now.
I know all about him, I had him on last weekend and he was, anyway we'll leave all that alone. Tell me about the disappearance because Kelly, there have been, haven't there, lots of different theories about this. What have been the accepted or established facts around it?
There have been lots and lots of theories. There were theories that he was murdered, theories around being kidnapped by the Chinese in the submarine, theories, actually, that he was also taken by a shark, believe it or not, which goes into the famous Jack Gibson quote there. Look, the conventional view is that he died from an accidental drowning, because it was pretty rough surf and it was pretty fierce on the day that he disappeared. He was well-known to have had a sore shoulder on that day that he was down at the beach. He loved to go for a swim but as we know, it can be very dangerous in some of our beaches, actually going for a swim, and so it's accepted that it was an accidental drowning.
But, you see, there's been no remains, no indication that…it does leave the whole thing open doesn't it?
I think that's why there's been so much mystery to it, because his body was never recovered, and it's a pretty shocking thing to lose a Prime Minister in those circumstances, particularly one as extraordinary as Harold Holt. And that's why I think there have been so many theories over the years, but as I said, he is someone who achieved incredible things during his many years in the Parliament. He introduced mandatory secret ballots for unions, he introduced the child endowment family payment scheme, he oversaw the referendum that gave the Commonwealth power over Indigenous Australians and to include them in the Census. These are pretty extraordinary achievements.
They certainly are. When you were my local member a few years ago, and I wanted to go for a swim, and I don't want to make a joke of it, but it struck me as odd that there was a Harold Holt swimming centre.
Well in the true Australian style, that's right. In the electorate, our most famous swimming pool is actually named after Harold Holt – the Harold Holt Memorial Swimming Pool. It's named in that capacity because he was known to love going for a swim, he was the first Member for Higgins, very significant Australian, our Prime Minister, and so when people, when generations of Australians who grow up in my electorate first learn to swim, they often learn to swim at the Harold Holt Memorial Swimming Pool.
They certainly did. You enjoying your work?
I love my work, I love my job and every day brings something new.
Good to talk to you Kelly, take care.
You too Luke.

This came from my friend Eva at work. I made her tell me the ingredients 'off the top of her head.'
"This is an attempt at a recipe for chicken burgers. The beans are a good way to stretch a pound of meat for that hungry family 😉
I do the same when making meatballs. The quantities are all guestimation. 1.5 cans seems like an odd amount for beans, but I usually have cooked beans in the freezer so I dump a bunch in the processor. "
1 lbs ground chicken
1 lbs ground chicken
1.5 cans black or navy beans
1 medium onion
1 egg, scrambled
3 tbsp olive oil
seasoning (I use 1 chipotle pepper, but different herbs & spices)
bread crumbs (plain or use herbs & spices in here instead of in the meat)
toppings (tomato, lettuce, pickle, avocado, condiments)
In a large bowl, mash beans with potato masher or in a food processor until almost smooth
Finely dice onion and mix with beans, or put in food processor and buzz a few times
Add in meat seasonings
Mix egg into bean mixture
(empty contents into large bowl if using food processor)
Combine ground chicken
Add oil and mix
With wet hands, form patties. Pat burger in bread crumb mixture. Place on oiled aluminum foil lined pan and drizzle little bit more olive oil on top. Cook in 350 degree oven 30 mins.

As we have received many requests for oral presentations, a substantial number of them will have to be moved to the poster sessions. A decision concerning this will be taken by the SOC after receiving all abstracts and the results will be known in early June.
The authors may send their proceedings by e-mail BEFORE the conference, or bring their manuscripts to the conference, ready for publication on paper and disquette in the required format. No papers will be accepted after the conference.
All texts have to be prepared in LaTeX following the Kluwer style used in Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy. Figures should be enclosed as PostScript, GIF, TIFF, BMP, PCX or CDR files. If sent by e-mail, all binary files should be UUENCODED. There is also a possibility to upload binaries using ANONYMOUS FTP. In that case connect to FTP.ASTRO.AMU.EDU.PL and leave your files in the directory '/incoming' (remember to use a 'bin' option if sending from a non-UNIX machine).
Approximately 40 invited papers will be given, covering the areas described in the Scientific Program. Participants are asked to submit contributed papers, as either oral or poster presentations. Papers are subject to refereeing by the SOC. Oral papers will be limited to 15 minutes for presentation, with five minutes for questions and answers. The invited and contributed papers will be published in a proceedings volume, edited by I. Wytrzyszczak.

Episode Description
Join Kathryn and Bill Tancer CLICK: What Millions of People Are Doing Online and Why It Matters. "What time of year do teenage girls search for prom dresses online? And how does the quick adoption of technology affect business success (and how is that related to corn farmers in Iowa)? How is the Internet itself affecting the way we experience the world? Search data appears to tell us that Internet searchers are more interested in the image of the candidate than they are in the candidate's stance on issues or his or her voting record. Tancer takes us behind the scenes into the massive database of online intelligence to reveal the naked truth about how we use the Web, navigate to sites, and search for information—and what all of that says about who we are. After all, we are what we click. Tancer writes a weekly column for Time.com and was named one of the 12 people to watch in the television industry by TVWeek. "

Briefly then.
three five years ago, while driving North on Interstate 91, just shy of the first exit for Greenfield, I heard a voice. Clear and fluid, unmistakably feminine, it said, "What if everything you think you know is wrong?"
I was a month shy of forty then, a spiritual dilettante. Sincere but prone to drifting, earnest but naive. I was a lector at a Catholic church, counted my breaths on a buckwheat hull-stuffed zafu. In a vague, never fully-articulated way, I was devoted to God. But despite periods of intense and dedicated prayer through the years, I had never had such a direct and profound experience of the Divine as I did on the highway that day.
The voice didn't name itself.
It didn't return – or hasn't yet anyway. It was a time of intense dreams while sleeping and, while waking, a sense that some deep interior shifting was underway, as if some ancient foundation was being rapidly dismantled. In favor of what, I couldn't say. A number of doors opened; some closed. My writing, always the better part of me, grew simpler, clearer. I discovered that I loved teaching and was good at it. Some healers showed up in my life, and I invited some others. I had no idea where any of this would lead. Grandiosity remained – remains – a risk. I knew I was called, but to what and by whom? Three Five (or so) years later, I still can't say. No – that's not true. I can say a little. I know that I am called to write, as plainly and directly as possible, about how my life is changing. I must stand witness to a process I barely understand! And – in the broadest sense of the word – I must teach. It's not clear where and how to do this, though students of different stripes and needs do appear. I recognize them by the need they awaken in me: for ever more guidance, ever more learning.
In all of this has come peace and – in a natural, serious way – joy. There is no mystery, no secret. So long as I have been a guest in this body, I have been writing – often about the terms and conditions of being a guest. And once I understood teaching to be a process of mutual sharing and exploration wherein the traditional hierarchy of student/teacher grows dim or becomes obsolete altogether, I saw that I have always been a teacher, because I have always been learning.
What is this blog then, this website? What is the point of a virtual way station, even one that longs to be helpful to a spiritual degree? Confusion always attends! Thank you for visiting, for sharing the way. Say hello as you pass if you'd like, take whatever blessing you might find, and fear no umbrage if you need to shake the dust off your shoes and move on. We're in this together. We'll figure it out.
If you're interested in more blog gazing (including a few technical details), I mused on the subject a while back.

OneWalk. One Day. ALL Cancers.
In September 2016, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I went through surgery followed by 5 weeks of daily radiation and was cancer free UNTIL THIS WEEK. I went for a follow up mamogram and ultrasound and they discovered and unrelated new breast cancer in the other breast To say I was shocked was an understatement. How could this have happened to me again. All the doctors were also in shock as this was such an unusual and rare situation. OMG not again.. I had lost my brother, mother and maternal aunts to different forms of cancer, so this news really hit close to home. So over the next 9 months I will be couragous and strong, and put my life back into the hands of the skilled and knowledgeable nurses, oncologist, surgeons and radiation teams at Princess Margaret Hospital.
I am grateful to the tireless work, heartfelt commitment, compassion, superb care and tireless dedication to finding a cure and humane treatments for not only breast cancer, but all cancers. We are so blessed to have the Princess Margarett Hospital in our own back yard. For this reason, I have formed Hesty's Besties and will walk to support this important fundraiser.
OneWalk to Conquer Cancer™ is The Princess Margaret's next-generation fundraiser to conquer ALL cancers. The funds I raise through OneWalk support Personalized Cancer Medicine at The Princess Margaret, one of the top 5 cancer research centres in the world, enabling its world-leading clinicians and researchers to detect cancers earlier, diagnose with more precision, target treatment for each patient and support patients and their families throughout the cancer journey.

Saturday was hotter than any day in January last year in Mumbai
Doctors say fluctuating temperatures affect immune system, worsen respiratory ailmentsmumbai Updated: Jan 24, 2016 00:38 IST
While most of the week witnessed a drop in day temperatures, Saturday saw a sudden spike in maximum temperatures to beat last year's hottest January day.
According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), maximum temperatures at south Mumbai rose to 4.7 degrees above normal at 34.2 degrees Celsius while it was 3.7 degrees Celsius above normal in the suburbs at 34.3 degrees Celsius. In 2015, January 31 was the hottest day at 33.9 degrees Celsius.
The all-time hottest January day was recorded in 2006 at 37. 4 degrees Celsius.
"For the past couple of days the sea breeze is setting in much later than its normal time, which is around 2pm. The south-easterly and easterly winds have been prevailing before that," said KS Hosalikar, deputy director general, western region, IMD, explaining the rise in day temperatures.
The minimum temperature recorded in Colaba was 20.2 degrees Celsius, which is 1.7 degrees above normal, while Santacruz recorded a temperature of 16.9 degrees Celsius.
The weather bureau has forecast a maximum temperature of 33 degrees Celsius and minimum temperature of 17 degrees Celsius on Sunday.
With the fluctuation in temperatures, doctors warned of a rise in respiratory ailments. In fact, several doctors are treating an increasing number of Mumbaiites complaining of cough and cold. At least 40% of the patients treated by Malad-based general practitioner Dr Madhukar Garodiya in the past few days were having cough and cold.
"The temperature fluctuations lead to exacerbation of symptoms for people who have asthma and other respiratory conditions," said Dr Garodiya. He treats close to 100 patients a day.
"When the temperature drops, the dust particles settle down aggravating respiratory conditions such as asthma. The fluctuation in the temperatures adversely affects the body's immunity," said Dr Pratit Samdani, physician, Breach Candy Hospital.

Belgium Hospital Hosts Successful World-first Procedure
Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies announced today that Biosense Webster, a worldwide leader in the diagnosis and treatment of heart arrhythmias, has enrolled and treated the first patient in its QDOT AF Study. The study will evaluate the delivery of high power, short duration ablation with QDOT MICRO, a novel radiofrequency (RF) ablation catheter for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). The first AF patient was treated at OLV Hospital in Aalst, Belgium, one of eight centers in Europe part of the study that will be enrolling up to 50 patients.
AF is fast becoming one of the world's most significant health issues – affecting 14 million people across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, as well as placing a critical burden on healthcare systems with up to 2.5% of total healthcare expenditure associated with the disease.
QDOT MICRO is a next generation catheter designed to treat AF in a catheter ablation procedure. In what will be a world-first, it delivers 90 watts of RF power in a four-second temperature-controlled catheter ablation session. Its optimized temperature control and micro-electrode technology is designed to provide more efficient and consistent lesion creation with advanced diagnostics, while simplifying the technique and reducing total ablation time.
"The concept of high power short duration ablation is novel and a potentially groundbreaking advancement for the industry," said Tom De Potter, MD, FEHRA, Associate Director, Cardiovascular Center Department of Cardiology, Electrophysiology Section at OLV Hospital. "The new modality could result in improvements in clinical outcomes and procedural efficiencies and I look forward to further investigation." Dr De Potter performed the first QDOT MICRO procedure, and is one of the study clinical investigators.
QDOT MICRO, which is only available for investigational use in Europe, is a steerable multi-electrode catheter with a deflectable tip designed to facilitate electrophysiological mapping of the heart and to transmit RF current to the catheter tip electrode for ablation purposes. In addition to force-sensing technology, the catheter incorporates six thermocouple temperature sensors and three micro electrodes embedded in its tip.
"For over 20 years Biosense Webster has pioneered the development of atrial fibrillation treatment" explains Gabriele Fischetto (Vice President of Johnson & Johnson Cardiovascular Specialty Solutions in EMEA). "QDOT MICRO continues our commitment to deliver solutions that help clinicians heal more hearts and has the potential to increase the standard of treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation".

Catch 22 featuring Paul Sinha and Ben Schofield and MC Dave Ingram appears at Stockton Arc on Thursday, February 9, at 8pm, tickets £7/£5.
Paul Sinha - the funniest Bengali doctor in the world? Possibly. Paul doesn't just walk the line between controversy and outrage - he uses it as a skipping rope!
Claims to fame include being voted fourth off on The Weakest Link and being interviewed for the BBC One O'Clock News, only for it to be cut at the last minute.
From an early age Ben Schofield used his keen sense of humour and quick wit as a defence mechanism against the bigger boys at school. His predilection for mirth-making thrives to this day, which, considering he lives in Bradford, is just as well.
Ben is the only known comedian to have a joke about Galvanising Dustbins.
Compere for the evening is MC Dave Ingram.

Uggs remain popular in winter mainly as a consequence of warmth from the sheepskin lining, the rubber soles, as well as the style which makes them a staple in fall boot trends for 2009.
