Easy New CPR method
Easy New CPR method
This is very, very important. The Mayo Clinic has just released a video about an easy new CPR method. This easy new CPR method is called Continuous Chest Compression CPR which is easier to learn, easier to do and you don’t have to blow in someone’s mouth. The goal is to generate blood flow to the heart and the brain, no need to count compressions or breaths and no mouth to mouth resuscitation. If you see someone collapses, you can save his or her life by applying this easy new CPR method. First you need to call 911, then start pumping by pressing hard on the sternum & continue until help arrives.
I never master the standard CPR but this easy new CPR method convinces me that I can jump in and help to save someone from cardiac arrest. Just remember that this easy new CPR method is ideal for adults. For children under 8 or in case of respiratory failure or drowning, standard CPR is still the best choice.

Truckee Community Christmas
It is the time of the year that we all get into the spirit of gratitude for what we have and also the spirit of giving for the less fortunate ones. I will be standing outside Safeway this Sunday December 6 from 1-3pm to help collecting food so please stop by for a chat and make a small donation. Dickson Realty also has barrels collect clean coats & toys in the lobby area so please go through your closets & bring down extra warm coats that you have not worn in a long time.

Makes about 16

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or parchment paper; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients and about 3 tablespoons water to form a dough. Roll out mixture between two sheets of plastic wrap to 1/4-inch thick; remove plastic wrap and cut out biscuits with a 3 1/2-inch bone-shaped cookie cutter. Reroll scraps and continue cutting out biscuits.
