The accent makes her even hotter.
Can you introduce me?
Umm she talks an awful lot about her husband and family in the vid. I agree though she is adorable. I wish these folks the best of luck. I went to their petition page but didn't sign since I don't even live in the same country.

This made me lol
Went to get food today, and saw a sign next to the menu on the wall that said "CPR Available" with an arrow pointing to a plastic bag taped to the wall.

Finally sprung for a radio strap. Anyone know how it's supposed to ride on the body? (right on the side or more on the butt/back) Worried it might be a little too long since it rides on my butt..might have to punch some new holes in it.

That's the plan!
Then again, getting a gig at Macquarie (or a peer) right out of undergrad with limited experience is gonna be a s-t-r-e-t-c-h...

I'm under the impression that those are supposed to be worn like a hall monitor strap...

Hahahah yeah I know. The length of the strap is so long that when slung over my shoulder it rests near the small of my back.
I can't even imagine how you thought I was wearing it based on my description hahaha

Thats what I was figuring...punch a few more holes it in to shorten it up a bit and bring it more to my side. I'll embrace my inner whacker...but I actually enjoy this method better....easier to hear radio traffic on a loud scene and not having to take the radio on and off the belt...I know its more a fire thing, but seems to be pretty popular with both EMS and fire in my area.

This seems like a good time.
PA's got 3 full crews out there, it's interesting to follow the updates on this end... as of the other day, one was on the Jawbone Complex fire, and 2 were working Ramsey.
Sounds like fire season is in full swing. I can't seem to open NIFC's site today... not sure if it's having issues, if I'm having issues, or it's just too busy.

Personally, I wear mine low on my left (non-dominant) side. It rides slightly lower than it would if belt-mounted (top of radio is either in line with my belt or no lower than my belt).

A. I feel so sorry for this guy. Not because he ate those peppers that was just stupid. I feel sorry for him because he has a self esteem issue so bad that he would do this to himself on video to try and fill that hole. Very very sad.
B. That said I think rapid transport and keeping a very close eye on airway would be the way to go. If his airway was to become compromised from the swelling you might have to RSI but I suspect he'll survive without much in the way of medical help. Maybe stop and buy him a big jug of half and half? People do stupid stuff like this all the time and rarely die.
ABC's, transport, and sit back and enjoy the show. I don't believe that hot peppers normally cause airway compromise unless there is some type of allergy. That said, you might need to coach down the respirations. When something gets spicy, people tend to hyperventilate thinking that the passing air will cool their mouth off. It doesn't.
I have never personally had success with dairy products myself, but I have a friend that swears by lemon juice. I have yet to try it.

Its an irritator that can cause inflammatory response "over sensitivity" in extreme cases it can cause bronco constriction, get ready for albuturol, I wonder if using olive oil may it completely remove the burning sensation since it's an organic hydrophobic compound that triggers receptor, if you use hydrophobic orgabic oils "olive oil" will it cause the cause the burning sensation to stop faster? Sounds like a job for BBG lol...
