February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partn February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partnered with @MedIQCME and Duke Health to raise awareness about atrial fibrillation (AFib), also known as irregular heartbeat which affects 12 million people.My father was diagnosed with AFib and my family has a history of this condition, so I do my best to learn as much as I can about it.

I’ve learned that when the atrium’s squeezing becomes irregular, blood doesn’t flow as smoothly through the heart and clots can form. Those clots can travel to the brain, disrupting the oxygen supply and causing a stroke. People with AFib are at approximately 5 times greater risk for stroke than those with regular heartbeats. Stroke is a leading cause of death and also of serious, long-term disability. It is essential to get to a hospital quickly if you suspect a stroke in yourself or others.Learn the acronym FAST to recognize the signs of stroke: 

F = Face. Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

A = Arms. Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? 

S = Speech. Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is the speech slurred or strange?

T= Time. If you see any of these signs, call 9-1-1 right away.

Tablet Talk: Unboxing the Amazon Kindle Fire Tablet


As you know, I like to be up on new gadgets and whatnot. When I first heard about the Kindle Fire, I didn’t know if it was a good purchase or not, since I was equating it with the Amazon Kindle reader. After a little bit of research and talking to friends who had one, I figured it would be a good buy. I was looking for a birthday gift for my better half and since he didn’t have a tablet and is always traveling, thought this would be a fab gift.

The Amazon Kindle Fire tablet is a 7 inch tablet with color graphics. It’s a lot smaller than my Xoom (the Xoom is 10.5 inch), and very lightweight. Almost too light! It works as most tablets do—you can surf the web, download music, books, check mail, etc. It doesn’t have a camera for pictures of video—but still, for surfing and playing games on the go, it’s a great tablet.

For someone who isn’t ready for an iPad, Xoom, or Samsung Galaxy tablet, then this is the next best thing. Only $199.00.

Here are a few photos of the unboxing of the Amazon Kindle Fire tablet. I will be bringing you more information as it relates to the usability of the tablet, speed, and wifi connection.

You can also check out the comparison in size between the Kindle Fire and my Motorola Xoom.

    Alright now…..I need to follow this and see what the final report is. I have a Kindle also and not ready, nor do I really want to upgrade to an iPad at the present, but the Kindle Fire sure is tempting. 🙂

      We fired it up tonight and added a few apps. Wifi works flawlessly. App download process is easy and fast as well. So far, so good.

    Very nice sum up of the Kindle Fire. Definitly a lot cheaper than other tablets currently on the market and the sales figures don’t lie that it is worth the money. For a more technical review go here: http://www.thekindlefire.org
