The second “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie has been released, but “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” is in need of a sequel. The first movie, “Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl,” was a stand-alone movie which didn’t require a sequel. It was successful enough to cause production of the second — and, fortunately, the third — movies. However, the “Dead Man’s Chest” segment is more of a setup than a movie matching the first film in the series. In “Dead Man’s Chest,” Johnny Depp returns as Captain... Full story

`The year was 1950 and the cookbook was Betty Crocker’s Picture Cookbook. It was a best seller! Not only was it the top cookbook of the year…it sold more copies than any other non-fiction book that year! It was also a cookbook ahead of its time with “key” recipes and variations plus lots and lots of photographs that demonstrated steps of recipes as well as the finest food photography of the time. For many, this was their “culinary Bible”. Recently it has become available again through Rodale Cookbooks, 33 Minor Street, Emm...

WASHINGTON, DC — Being in and around water is a big part of the summer for many people, but while you and your family enjoy yourselves, the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) has some advice on how to limit the possibility of summer water fun turning deadly. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 782 children younger under the age of 15 died from drowning in 2003, making it the second-leading cause of injury-related death for this age group. “I can’t urge parents often enough to keep a...

Whether you’re commuting to work or running the kids to soccer practice, getting stuck in today’s traffic can leave you not only tense but stiff and hurting in your neck, back, hips or legs. As we spend more time behind the wheel, pain complaints are accelerating faster than a Porsche on a winding road. Laurie complained of numbness in her right thigh when driving for more than one hour. Rose felt she was taking her life in her hands each time she changed lanes on the freeway because it hurt too much to look over her sho... Full story

A family day at the beach may be eagerly anticipated by children, but it can be a big headache for mom. She’s the one most likely to pack the sandwiches, snacks and drinks, lather the children with sunscreen to prevent them from getting sunburn, and make sure the littlest ones do not eat sand or rub suntan lotion in their eyes. But going to the beach with the kids does not have to be a nightmare - if you have the right gear. Here are some conveniences that can make your beach outings less stressful so you can have more f...
It wasn’t that long ago that we equated a golden suntan with health, youth and vigor, and would spend hours slathering on lotions and baking in the sun to achieve that perfect hue. Nowadays, we understand that sun and skin aren’t always the best of friends. In fact, health professionals are warning that even minimal sun exposure any time of year can be detrimental to unprotected skin. Due to the depleting ozone layer and other environmental assaults like smoke and contaminants in the air, our skin is under attack. These env...

CAMP PENDLETON — Karla Comfort received a lot of looks and even some salutes from people when she drove from Benton, AR, to Camp Pendleton in her newly painted custom Hummer H3 March 2. The vehicle is adorned with the likeness of her son, 20-year-old Lance Cpl. John M. Holmason, and nine other Marines with F Company, 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, who were all killed by the same improvised explosive device blast in Fallujah, Iraq, last December.

Along with its previously restored Crossle’ 32, Holladay Racing Enterprises of Fallbrook introduced its newly restored Crossle’ 35 vintage Formula Ford at the recent HSR-West event at California Speedway in Fontana.

During Sunday’s warm-up, Andy found that he had no power to the rear wheels. The thinking was that one of the drive shafts’ splines was probably sheared. The car was... Full story
FALLBROOK — Many of us take things for granted in our community. The Senior Volunteers of our Fallbrook Sheriff’s Substation are indeed a rare breed and go somewhat unnoticed in their daily routine.

They are responsible for administering the YANA (You Are Not Alone) program. Every morning and on pre-scheduled days once a week, a volunteer makes telephone contact with those shut-in seniors who h... Full story
