In his career as a licensed general contractor, Doug Williams decided to take a slight detour and open Fallbrook Energy Consultants. “We’ve been in business for a few years and I really like what I do,” said Williams. He decided it was important to take this career path because he had seen how important of an issue energy was becoming in the building industry. “Energy has become increasingly important in our lives,” said Williams. “And in the last few years it has grown in im...
As the country’s workers continue to multitask, companies may think they’re continuing to get more and more for their money as a result. While this is true to an extent, it’s not necessarily as cut and dried as it seems. In general, the more people have on their plate, the more disorganized that plate is going to be. When looked at in that light, companies could be losing more money than they’d care to know. So what’s a company to do for its disorganized workers? Unfortunately, it’s hard, if not impossible, to impose a ma...

Cowabunga! I have heard my surfer friends use this term but I wasn’t exactly sure what it meant. My closest guess is that it means something is not just awesome, but surpasses awesome all the way to becoming totally awesome. I think that can be used to describe the compact, but full of life, California Surf Museum in Oceanside. I am not qualified to write this story as an insider, having only bodysurfed. However, by association I have been exposed to the surfing culture s...
On February 16 a group of volunteers met at Fallbrook Skilled Nursing Facility on Potter Street to beautify the yard for the patients and staff. Local resident Jerry Weiss spearheaded the project after having spent two weeks in physical therapy at the facility.

In 2002, Jennifer Lynne was 35 and the mother of two young boys. An avid jogger, she began to feel out of breath and shaky at the slightest exertion.

A trip to the emergency room and heart tests, however, showed Lynne’s heart was fine. “The doctor told me I had the heart of a 16-year-old!” said Lynne. “I couldn’t believe it. What was going on?” Two years and five trips to the emergency roo...
Eating disorders are complex, serious health problems that affect seven million women and girls in the United States. They can occur in women – and men – of all ages and backgrounds, but most often develop in young women between ages 11 and 20.

They often have a distorted view of their body shape, have low self-esteem, are depressed and feel ashamed or guilty about their eat...
As the aging process runs its course, it is expected the body will go through certain changes. One frequent development as people grow older is a loss of vision. According to the National Eye Institute (NEI), by the age of 80 more than half of all Americans either have a cataract or have had cataract surgery. Such figures illustrate the importance of understanding cataracts and what can be done to avoid them. A cataract is a clouding of the lens that can impair a person’s vision. The lens helps to focus light on the r... Full story
