Each year, nearly 5,000 people in the United States are treated in hospital emergency rooms for carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. This number is, however, believed to be an underestimate of those poisoned because many people exhibiting the symptoms of CO poisoning mistake these symptoms for the flu or are misdiagnosed. CO is a colorless, odorless, toxic gas. It is produced by the incomplete combustion of solid, liquid, or gaseous fuels. Appliances fueled with gas, oil, kerosene, or wood may produce CO. If such appliances are...

As families gather together to celebrate the holidays, there is an opportunity to ease senior family members’ fear of losing their independence by explaining how a reverse mortgage can help. Loss of independence is the greatest fear for seniors according to a recent “Aging in Place” study by Prince Market Research. Moving out of their home and into a nursing home was the next greatest fear. For the majority of seniors (89 percent), aging in place (in their home) is very important. However, more than half (53 percent) are c...

Michael Torke, a contemporary classical music composer, quipped, “Why waste money on psychotherapy when you can listen to the B Minor Mass?” Music regulates our moods, lifts our spirits, gets our heart pumping, and articulates heartfelt emotions we could not normally express without sounding foolish. If you wake up to a blah day and wonder how you will ever get through the morning, put on some music that has a quick beat and it will elevate your frame of mind. I was so cranky on a recent Saturday that I was ready to evi...

Part 1 of a 3-part series This is the first in a three-part series by Tim and Margaret O’Leary, whose Fallbrook home was destroyed by fire in November 2003 and has since been rebuilt.

As for the chowder, let us be quite specific from the start. I mean the creamy chowder made with clams, potatoes and cream…with dozens of variations on that theme. In fact, this week I was going to make just plain clam chowder. However...
