Emergency medical physician dispels myths about the ER
The waiting area for the emergency department at Memorial Hospital is almost filled to capacity with people needing help. While doctors, physicians assistants and nurses are already attending to the patients needing urgent care, everyone there has a reason to believe the ER is where they need to be, and each person has brought a unique medical issue for the staff to resolve.

Your entire group should blog
?“You should blog.”
?I looked up from the papers strewn before me on the table of the Starbucks to which I had ventured to escape the distraction of my usual writing space. It was Tuesday, November 2, 2010, the day of midterm elections.
I however, had not yet voted, and was concentrating on a proposed acquisition summary.

Time again for farm and city cousins to meet
Since November has arrived, most of us are starting to think about the next holiday coming up that will involve a lot of eating. In fact, after we finish watching Snoopy float across New York City in the Macy’s parade, many of us will sit down to gobble up – pun intended – 45 million turkeys in this country on Thanksgiving Day.

A new fiddling master
Fiddling has always been part of my life, since the earliest tunes that I looked up at my great Uncle Tom and heard him play to this very day. I have come to know and learn from some of the greatest fiddlers in history. They have richly blessed my life.
Case Digests: Tennesse Court of Appeals Syllabus
Federal Insurance Company, A/S/O Robert and Joanie Emerson v. Martin Edward Winters, D/B/A Winters Roofing Company.
Hamilton County – Plaintiff insurer of insured brought this action as a subrogee of the insureds, who had been paid under plaintiff’s policy for a fire loss to their home. The insureds had employed a roofer to replace their roof, whose subcontractor caused the fire which destroyed the home. Plaintiff brought this action to recover from defendant roofer who filed a Motion for Summary Judgment and the trial court ruled defendant could not be held liable in tort for the negligent acts of his subcontractor under the facts of this case, and plaintiff could not recover under the theory of contract, because plaintiff could not show that the loss was caused by the contractual services or foreseeable. On appeal, we hold that summary judgment was inappropriate, because under contract law the defendant had a non-delegable duty to see that the work he was contractually obligated to perform was done in a careful, skillful and workmanlike manner. The case is remanded with instructions to proceed in accordance with this Opinion.

Trick or treat
Halloween was pretty much a non-event at our house this year. I think we just had six or seven groups of the little sugar-worshippers who climbed the steep stairs to our front door, to get to the Snickers and M&Ms, which I picked out Saturday morning at Kroger while buying ingredients for chili.

Writer's block visited
At Merlin Mann’s “43 Folders” Web site, I found a little anecdote that the host thought was apropos of writer’s block:
It seems that, during the filming of “Marathon Man,” Dustin Hoffman showed up one day looking like death warmed over, to borrow a phrase. Beyond his appearance, he was clearly exhausted, to the point of being and practically delirious.
River City Roundabout
Classic rock done right
The Tivoli Theatre was packed all the way to the very last row of the upper balcony when the classic rock band, Styx, came back to Chattanooga for a powerful performance.
I first saw Styx at Riverbend when I was 16 years old, and was mildly impressed in my teenage way with their sound. Having had a few years of musical experience since then, I was absolutely floored by the Styx performance at the Tivoli.
The Bookworm
“On Hallowed Ground”
He was somebody’s baby once, and treasured.
His mother carried him nine months, anticipating the day she’d meet him; his father secretly hoped for a boy. His arrival was heralded, his childhood happy, his adolescence fleeting. He grew up to be a fine man, loved by family and friends, known for valor and conviction.
Local car dealers revved up about Volkswagen coming to town
When a new competitor moves into town, established businesses usually do a little sweating. One would think that would be the case with Volkswagen ramping up operations in Chattanooga. Conventional thinking would suggest the company’s presence would translate into big sales for the local VW dealership and diminishing returns for its rivals. But instead of perspiring, veteran car dealers are preparing for what they believe will be some of their best years in recent memory.
Plasma donations provide economic benefit, aid fight against disease
Cold season has begun, and everyone knows how miserable it is to feel under the weather. Yet the feeling associated with a life-long illness is harder to imagine, and finding a way to help these individuals seems almost impossible. However, helping those with rare, life-threatening diseases locally and nationally begins with a simple visit to CSL Plasma Services on Amnicola Highway.
Limerick reflects on the journey that brought her here
Carolyn Limerick is standing outside an elegant brick home in Hixson, Tenn., scenic river and mountain views extending in all directions. The house isn’t hers, but one of a small selection of listings she’s managing as a real estate agent for The James Company. As she surveys her surroundings, she thinks back to her childhood, which she spent riding horses across majestic Northern Michigan farm country, admiring the stylish architecture of the homes around the Great Lakes.
Cornerstones aims to preserve architectural heritage
When workers raise a building from the ground up, they create a unified structure. Over the years, as the owner changes elements of the original design – such as the doors, windows, or another component of the exterior – he changes the character of the building. It might look more modern, but it’s lost part of its personality.
Real Estate Facts
Multiple choice
If you’re looking for a bargain and considering purchasing a foreclosure, you’ll first have to decide what kind of foreclosed property to pursue. The three categories are pre-foreclosure, sherriff’s auction, and repossession (or a bank-owned REO).
Kay's Cooking Corner
Swiss Chard. Funny name. Is it a chard plant derived from the Switzerland? Well, my younger sister called me with a recipe this weekend using Swiss Chard, so that is what I have for you today, but first, I gotta find out about that name!
Once I started my search, I found two different stories on the origin (of course!), so I’m not sure which one is correct - or if either one of them is real. Actually, I think one is trying to say what the other one says, it’s just not as clear.
The Critic's Corner
Rather than review a new theatrical release this week, I’m going to take a detour down a quiet country road to look at a new DVD. “That Evening Sun” is like the small towns that pepper the back roads of this nation, and of which people say, “If you blink, you’ll miss it.” You might need to hunt it down, but it’ll be worth your time.
Coach's Corner
Moving through the steps to champion agent status
When a real estate agent begins their career, they usually work with more buyers than sellers. This pattern or business mix can often continue for the agent’s entire career. To be a true Champion Agent, your personal mix of business needs to be dominated by sellers. You have to do more transactions on the seller side of the business than the buyer side. agents who have more transactions on the buyer side of the business end up working harder, having less time control, and having a lower quality of life.
