'We feel comfortable saying chest compressions alone, when performed by a layperson, will provide at least the benefit that conventional CPR, with rescue breathing, will provide," researcher Thomas D. Rea, MD, medical director for King County, Wash., Medic One, tells WebMD.

While at the Fireworks in Toledo we saw this ship (The Kiska) and my daughter, Petrea sent this article along..

Toledo Fireworks

Boy Howdy!

The Toledo, Oregon fireworks outdid last year, just as they do every year. We were all bundled up in coats and blankets except Carmen Dean who was mummified in one of those Snuggie things you see on TV. We could see two little eyes and a nose peaking out that was it. My family was there and the typical , "Awesome!" and oooo ahhhs were going on all around
