Man Uses T-Shirt to Aid Birth in Subway
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) -- A high school history teacher took the T-shirt off his back to catch a premature baby as a woman pregnant with triplets gave birth in a subway stairwell.
Lanitta Lewis, 30, was on her way to a doctor's appointment Monday when she felt the first birth pains and called out for help. She was largely ignored by commuters in the Bay Area Rapid Transit station until Biko Eisen-Martin took notice.
Eisen-Martin, on a break from Berkeley High, ran to a nearby cafe to call an ambulance and returned in time with his T-shirt to catch a 3-pound girl, he said. Paramedics rushed the baby to Children's Hospital & Research Center Oakland.
The other two girls were delivered by Caesarean section at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center in Berkeley. The first baby was reunited with her younger siblings at Alta Bates Summit and they were attached to feeding tubes but listed in good condition Wednesday, hospital officials said.
Lawzy, we got to have a doctor. I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' babies.[/b]
Good morning all, I'm at LaGuardia getting ready to go through security and head back to the heartland. What a fabulous trip, but I'm ready to go home now. I have tons of photos and will post some tonight.
I spoke to my mother last night, she said she saw us on the Today Show! I think her exact quote was "I used to say look at all those idiots smiling and waving for the cameras....and there you were" It was said in jest and taken as such. She hates Katie Couric, so for her to sit through the entire show to see us, meant she was really watching for us.
Eisen-Martin, on a break from Berkeley High, ran to a nearby cafe to call an ambulance
But at Penn Station during the start of morning rush hour, some subway riders commented on a lack of visible police presence and said no one had searched their bags.
The most amazing thing I saw in that article derB postedHe didn't have a cell phone? SHE didn't have a cell phone? No one around them had a cell phone?
But what happens when you call 911 from your cell phone is not the same as when you call from a landline phone. All 911 phone calls from cell phones are forwarded to the California Highway Patrol dispatch center, which receive more than 6 million calls a year statewide, up from 29,000 in 1998. As a result what will happen most often is that the caller will be greeted with a recorded message saying all operators are busy. Once you do manage to get through you will need to convey all of the information related to the emergency you are reporting, then you will be transferred to the appropriate local dispatch center, where you will be requested to repeat all of the emergency information again. All of this takes time, too much time.
I need help! I had a brain fart yesterday - not only did I not record Alias, I didn't even realize that it was on until this morning. Did anyone record it??
Thank you, DR Hisaka, for the great pics. The food looked mouth-watering. How any of you folks manage to keep trim is beyond me. If I lived there, I'd weigh 500 pounds.
A cybic would suggest that the photographer waited for the right "special" customer to be searched.
A real cynic would suggest the paper hired an extra for the event.

Jose: What time are your auditions over today? Our office is closing at 3:00...

I'm supposed to be done by 4:00. However, it looks like I may be heading out to dinner with some of my "new" Damn Yankees' cast mates around 5:00. No definite meeting place has been decided upon yet, but once I get word...
-And I'm still waiting to hear back from Amanda about tix for tonight. I'll make some phone calls and call you back.
-Did you remember your cell phone today?
Sadly, DG Ann is sound asleep, so I fear there will be no pancake trek tonight.
DR RLP will no doubt be pleased to know that my copy of "Cinderella" did not arrive in today's mail. Maybe Monday.
Had I said "Come Monday" I would of course have mentioned Jimmy Buffet.
I don't know if Jose will be able to lead us in a tour next year , unless he travels in disguise, as all his Lestat groupies will, no doubt, be following him wherever he goesDon't be silly; Lestat groupies only come out at night.
Well, sometimes you just gotta get out of the house and take a walk or run... even when it's drizzling, hot, humid, etc...

That's why I've stopped preordering long in advance at Amazon. I go in on Thursday before the Tuesday release date, and almost never have a problem. Of course, sometimes things are delayed strangely, but I don't preorder things way in advance any more.
Sorry you're having these problems, DRs Ron and Tom.
DR TPunk, I taped ALIAS last night (since i was watching Survivor). If you can't find a copy (and really want to see it) i could either a) send you the tape after i watch it or b) copy it to dvd, which is very easy. Let me know.

Sometimes, their prices are better than Amazon's (as with CINDERELLA at Circuit City this week). Sometimes not, especially with boxed sets and if you consider local sales tax and gas to the stores added in. With Amazon, there's no sales tax and free shipping with certain amounts or for PRIME customers.
I am fortunate to have the time to shop around for the most reasonable price, and that's what I do.
I understand others don't have this luxury and do what they have to do.
DR RonP, these customer service agents at amazon.com do not seem to be the brightest. The reply with form letters most of the time. I don't think getting upset with them helps, especially since they do not seem to really think when answering (they merely use the closest form letter).
I've found either a) asking them to forward your message to their supervisor or b) continually responding to them no matter what lame form letter they give, usually helps. Eventually you will get the answer you need.
So did they finally respond to you (i missed that part?). If they didn't write back with 24 hours i would write again. Or do what BK did and call. I'm sure calling helps.
I know that all these internet places must get tons of emails. But they must realize how obnoxious it is for customers to receive form letters. Especially ones that barely even relate to the topic originally mentioned.

On the local news last night, they ran a story on an amazing new piece of software that run on cell phones with digital cameras. If you want to buy something in, say, Best Buy and you wonder if you can get it cheaper elsewhere, you take a picture of the bar code and e-mail it to the software company. They immediately send back a list of other stores with price comparisons for the item. They even provide driving directions to the other stores listed and, if the item is on sale on-line, allow you to click to the item on the site so you can purchase it immediately.
Here's a link (http://www.nbc10.com/consumeralert/5066479/detail.html) to the story.
I have been putting off upgrading to a cam cell phone, but I think it will now be worth it just for this particular feature.
OK...as a customer service representative myself, I'm going to take my life in my own hands and stand up for the poor folks who actually have to READ those 2 million pissy emails that everyone sends when they don't get what they want when they want it.
Sometimes things don't ship out. Sometimes there's a delay at the warehouse. Sometimes there's an unexpected delay in the receipt of the goods, therefore preventing turnaround and shipment of goods to the consumer. Sometimes the stock just isn't there. Is there a kink in the system? Apparently so, but is that a reason to send an email, write a letter or make a phone call every day (or, in some of my customer's cases, every hour)? No. The customer service rep to whom you are writing cannot walk to the shelf, pull down a copy of whatever it is you want, pack it up and ship it out. All we can do is check into your account, do what we can to speed up the process and pass your concerns on to the appropriate management. One email is sufficient. And I can tell you this from experience - the more emails you send and the more terse they are, the less likely you are to receive 1) a personal response or 2) what you want any faster. If I get nasty or multiple emails from the same person, they tend to get filed in the circular file, AKA the trash can.
Ron, I understand that you are frustrated and pissed off that you didn't get what you ordered when you were supposed to. Don't take it out on the customer reps. You want to give a dig to Amazon.com? Cancel the order and drive yourself to WalMart or Target or any other retail store and buy the DVD there. Take your business elsewhere - that's the only way you'll make any difference, and you'll get the face-to-face customer service that you desire/require. In these situations it is also helpful to remember that the items you're waiting for are not medicines or human organs - you can survive another day or two without them. Take a breath. Cancel the order. Buy it at Suncoast.
Thanks for the link DR Dan, you are truly The Man! The story says the software is free to T-Mobile users, I am a T Mobile user!! Yea!!
I must find out how to get the software now.....hmmmmm
DR Vixmom, there is a link to the software company at the bottom of the page of the news story.I missed it. I'll go back again and find it. Thanks!
Michael, so you got to see CONDOMANIA! (how will I ever forget the Condom Store! )As we commented on our walk to the restaurant, what with the high rents in NYC driving everyone out of business, it might be easier if the entire city just went on line and closed up their actual stores.
Ah, the wonders of Greenwich Village. I'm surprised the store is still there. Things are closing up so fast you don't always know what will be there and what won't.
Re: Degustation:Well, I totally understand the menu. What's my prize?
As Jose pointed out, while at Columbus Circle we picked up a copy (or two) of the menu at per se, one of the newest and most foodie-beloved restaurants in NYC. The following is the "Chef's Tasting Menu."...
I'd offer a prize for the transation of everything that was put, by the writer of the menu, in quotes, but right now I can't even afford the service (included)!
"If I'm going to make a mistake you can rest assured it is on the side of being cautious," Bloomberg said at a news conference, flanked by Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. But he stressed that he did not think that any mistake had been made.
"We did exactly the right thing," Kelly said.
His remarks came after authorities briefly closed part of Penn Station and commuters headed to work under the watchful eyes of police.
A discarded soda bottle filled with an unidentified green liquid was found at the station during morning rush hour, Amtrak officials said. Kelly said it was a type of drain-cleaner substance.
A majority of the station was reopened by about 10:45 a.m., more than an hour after it was closed.
Officials in New York revealed the threat Thursday, saying an FBI source warned that terrorists had plotted to bomb the subway in coming days. But Homeland Security officials in Washington downplayed the threat, saying it's of "doubtful credibility."

Considering the Fed's reaction to a Security Memo with a title to the effect of "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike Inside the US", I must say I prefer Bloomie's approach
Well, I totally understand the menu. What's my prize?And your list of the quotationed items, defined in English, is where?
;D
Well, I totally understand the menu. What's my prize?You get to buy us all dinner there!! When will you be collecting your prize?
;D
First off, no one at Amazon.com has come close to seeing me get "pissy"...not yet, anyway.
Second. As I wrote in my note to amazon, they HAVE THE ITEM IN STOCK. They were offering one-day delivery on it yesterday.
Third: Why on earth would anonymous customer service reps take any of my frustrations personally? I'm not blaming THEM for anything. There is a glitch in Amazon's system and it needs to be corrected.
I wrote them THREE DAYS IN A ROW and nothing has changed. No effort has been made to fill my order...but as Matt said, if he ordered it Tuesday, he'd have had it by now.
I ordered it August 29th and it hasn't shipped yet.
I also paid up front for prime member service and I think that deserves some attention.
Fourth: I don't want to buy it any place else.
Fifth: I'll be frustrated and disgusted and pissy if I want to.
:D
Oh... As far as Amazon.com's lack of response... Does anyone know just how many customer service reps they have now? With millions of potential customers, and thousands upon thousands of potential problems, I just have to wonder how well-equipped they are to handle customer service requests.
Considering the Fed's reation toa Security Memo with a title to the effect of "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike Inside the US", I must say I prefer Bloomie's approach
I'm sure they must have many. I seriously doubt that all of any one person's emails go to the same person. In fact I'm quite certain that they don't.
But I thought amazon had a policy to respond within 24 hours.
Jrand, are you still tapping your foot? No to both questions. I haven't seen North By Northwest yet and I don't skip your posts.
And DR RonP, that is really odd that you did not get a response. I've gotten a response to every email i've ever sent to amazon.com. Although maybe DR Jason was correct, cause if you sent the email that was anything like what you wrote, I would be too scared to respond if I was them. :)
Stops tapping foot. ;DDon't forget that screenplay by Ernest Lehman! Wowsers!
I am just anxious for your opinion, the movie is so good. 8)
With Hitchcock, Saint, Grant, and Mason - how could it NOT be?

I guess I don't understand how priority customer RLP's DVD could NOT be shipped when they are obviously shipping current orders like mad!
I understand, DRJASON, but what is a customer supposed to do when he sends an URGENT email and gets NO response at all? Wait...and wait...and wait? Reps should also understand that customers send emails because there is a problem with the service (usually, although sometimes it is their fault, too) or a situation as arisen that needs attention. And it is NOT always the customer's fault.
But it is the old "us against them" mentality that always surfaces - and there are TWO sides to EVERY story. Even though MY side is the side that should be dealt with first.
I understand why DR RLP won't go buy the DVD someplace else - he paid EXTRA for a special service and he followed the rules (that Amazon.com set up) to get his product. Why should he be inconvenienced?
Oh well. I have been on BOTH sides of the situation.

DRvixmom, no, I don't believe so. There's been too much tension on this production, beginning with the lady producing this version in Chicago, and continuing with resistance to my efforts to protect the composer's interests.
Well for goodness sakes make sure they don't read the last few posts or they'll get the wrong impression entirely!! :DGood, that means you'll be back again soon! You have to come in the summer so I can show you the Long Island beaches or Montauk Point or the wineries

I'm back in rainy Salem, Oregon! Got back to the home environment around 2 am and it was good to see Freddy again, but I miss New York and all the wonderful DRs that I met whilst I was there! I had such a fantastic time while I was there and I have to especially thank Elmore3003, Rodzinski, and TPunk for providing shelter and pretty much taking care of me and making sure I had a safe and fun trip in the big Apple! And JoseP for taking so much time to show me around (how will I ever forget the Condom Store! )...four of the finest people I have ever met and I really appreciate all you guys putting up with me and helping make this a trip to remember!
And to all the other DRs I met along the way during my NY stay...holy cow, what did I ever do to earn such good karma that I should get to meet and hang out with such a wonderful group of people!!!!

Wonderful! Oh, the celebration to be had in the Pacific Northwest a year from now!
~~CINDERELLA DVD VIBES~~~~~I fear my post was too subtle!! I was concerned for Ron feelings that my copy would arrive - despite the distance etc - before his did. It is not late nor am I particularly anxious. I "shop around" for best prices locally for most items of interest but not all DVDs are released in OZ and certainly we often have to wait months. I have found Amazon and some of the "other sellers" to be very efficient.
for DR's Ron & Tomovoz
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling thru
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true
That DVD WILL be delivered tomorrow!!
Now I must go home and check my tape!!!
Thank you Ron
And of course we know that Jose works for Amazon and is to blame.
Geez, this has been a chatty day.
With sincerest apologies to fans/friends of "I Do! I Do!"
No apologies necessary. I LOVE the show and I like that song very much.
My favorite song in the score is "What Is a Woman?"
DR George - Re FRIENDS AND FAMILY: There's a song sung by a singer at a banquet about an hour into the movie called "You Can't Surprise Me" sung by Elisa Heinsohn of TV's FAME fame. Skip wrote that song. (He was using the name Walter Edgar Kennon in those days; he's back to Skip Kennon on LAST STARFIGHTER.)

Hmmm, DR RLP, I've never emailed them as a "customer comment". I've always gone to the help/customer service page and clicked on changing or placing an order. Then I've clicked on "i have a question that is not listed above" and then i send them an email. Is it possible that you are writing to the wrong place?

The Little Blue Engine
by Shel Silverstein
The little blue engine looked up at the hill.
His light was weak, his whistle was shrill.
He was tired and small, and the hill was tall,
And his face blushed red as he softly said,
“I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.”
So he started up with a chug and a strain,
And he puffed and pulled with might and main.
And slowly he climbed, a foot at a time,
And his engine coughed as he whispered soft,
“I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.”
With a squeak and a creak and a toot and a sigh,
With an extra hope and an extra try,
He would not stop — now he neared the top —
And strong and proud he cried out loud,
“I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!”
He was almost there, when — CRASH! SMASH! BASH!
He slid down and mashed into engine hash
On the rocks below... which goes to show
If the track is tough and the hill is rough,
THINKING you can just ain’t enough!
For the Babs fans (who may have missed it), the DVD set of the 5 TV specials is now on pre order.
All right, Jennifer!
I found the way to e-mail. I wrote a very polite, measured e-mail.
Perhaps I'll finally hear something back. The other place, however, is a bottomless pit from which nothing ever returns.
Of course, Jason probably knows that my customer comments will be common knowledge by now and that my e-mail will just be sauce for my cooked goose!

I didn't know they were selling the films separately. I thought you could only get them in the box. Great news!

Back from rehearsal and supper with shocking news. The Good Guys is going out of business. They say that GE will honor extended warranties, so I'll be calling GE first thing on Monday, since I paid five hundred bucks for a five-year extended warranty last Feb for the new TV. What a world.How is this shocking news? Good Guys was sinking back when I was living in California, two years ago. The operations they had running with Tower, called WOW!, in both Glendale and Long Beach, ended up with the Good Guys part of the stores almost devoid of equipment to be sold.

I guess the vaseline was for the camera lens to soften those photos of the Stars.

Colin and I are in the minority with the movie "Beyond The Sea". We loved it and Mr Spacey.
Of course we also really enjoyed "D'Lovely".
And we made it to page 17 as well.
