The people who fall sick due to cough and cold often and cannot withstand a cool atmosphere which freezes their nasal passage, makes it impossible to work efficiently. Many times, the people even fall victims to fever in case adequate care is not taken. Hence, they get irritated and also do not feel like eating due to throat aches and uneasiness. However, skipping meals and starving does not answer any of their problems of flu, instead aggravates the problem, as the body gets deprived of the essential nutrients and to topple that the antibiotic pills also ruins the immune system which is strengthened by the intake of healthy and nutritious food.
Antioxidants- a perfect natural medicine
The antioxidants are present in a number of food products which are high in vitamins C, E and have excessive amount of beta carotene in it. Hence, people who are under false assumption that eating fruits like orange can increase the cold in the body definitely need to update their general knowledge. The fighting spirit of the immune system is bolstered and activated to fight the free radicals away and protect cells and body from deteriorating health and fever.
Remain away from cooked food
The essential nutrients from the food evaporate when exposed to heat; hence it is better to catch with raw fruits and vegetables when the body is in a dilapidated state. Fruit juices, raw spinach are majorly recommended. Before you knock the doors of the doctors, such home remedies can make you feel better and recuperate you sooner without side effects. Following this appetite when you are healthy will give less chances of giving excuses for not attending the office and will also save you from the doctor visit expenses.
The warmth imparted by food
The body tissues and the passages of air are choked and freeze especially during winters. Hence, the doctors recommend all warmer therapies like steam, having peppermint; applying eucalyptus and so on. Eating food not only nourishes the body, but also imparts sufficient warmth to the body and reduces the chances of the problem aggravation. When there is no food, the body temperature will still be low and free radicals get an open chance to enjoy and make you feverish and much more irritated. Also, drinking sufficient water is necessary to keep the nasal passages from drying. The running noses are a self defense activity to fight the disorder which becomes rapid with more water in the body. Keep away from tea, coffee as these contain caffeine which can act like dehydrate.
The consequences of starving for employees and students
Simple coughing can lead to fever which can make a person bed ridden and this chain of reactions are possible with starving. This can be dangerous for an employed person who will need to take excessive and repeated leaves. Also, the students will have to resort to doctor notes often. The best medicine is keeping your body full but you do not need to overeat too.

Comments about Alvin Erasing Shield:
This actually works quite well. The tiny circles aren't as useful since I don't have an eraser that tiny or that pointy. It's very light weight and flexible.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

How excited can you get over an eraser shield? LOL! Hey, it works and is a good deal for me . I use it doing tech type drawings. Yes, I actually DRAW with pencil and paper. Works great with the powered eraser.
I had to purchase more
By jhteacher
from Idaho
I purchased six for my drawing students to try. It was such a hit that I had to purchase enough for my whole class. It helps them clean up around their edges in a way that you can't achieve without an eraser shield.
I love this product
By Crafti Artist Terrie
from I'm visiting OK but I live in CA
It's really easy to use and durable product. If you don't want to use the the whole area to erase you can use a partial of any of the area to use. It's so much fun to use in any area of art.
inexpensive and indispensible....

Some days are better than others
Morning Journal/Patti Schaeffer
It was not the easiest of winters for workers constructing a network of natural gas pipelines across the county. Months of cold weather was followed by some muddy times. Weather has improved and work has continued, as on this stretch of pipeline near Leetonia Road in Salem Township. Though it may not be so nice outdoors today.

nice post. did not know that there is town by name Raipur in Rajasthan . looking at subject i thought you would be talking about capital of chhattisgarh.
After spending a peaceful night at Lakshman Sagar I was ready for sight seeing. The agenda for the day was to visit the nearby village and in the evening the Raipur town. This was half of my room at Lakshman Sagar.
And as I was the only women around at that time they used to tell me I was the princess of the place! Here is the other half of my room.
And this was not all. Each hut (actually a villa) had a splash pool to itself apart from the main swimming pool.
With so much peace and luxury around I hardly needed to go anywhere else but I was willing to get out after the good night's rest. I have been to villages before but when you go there after a while you realize how different it is from my city life. Now that my daughter is growing up I am reminded that how much 'stuff' we in the city tend to accumulate. In the villages people do things! I told Gajendra ji that I should probably send my daughter for a month to a village!
The kids at the village enjoyed getting clicked and would mob me to see the pictures on the LCD screen. One of them asked me, "What is your name?" I was quite pleasantly surprised. So I asked him where did he learn English from and he said from his school. In another house I was told that a 5th daughter was born and they were not happy at all.
I visited the local temple too. There was a child standing on top of it! Apart from a few people who I think lived nearby it was empty. I came back to a good lunch and a few hours to myself. In the evening we were heading to the Raipur town.
Our first stop was the chili market at Raipur. It was just the beginning but I was told that the entire market becomes red in season. How I would like to photograph that! I was so excited about this small patch itself!
Raipur is a small but bustling town and we walked through the narrow lanes up to the local Haveli. It has an impressive facade but as of now it is closed and locked. Gajendra ji told that the owner plans to convert it into a hotel. I bought some bangles for my daughter from a lady selling it on the pavement.
When I came back it was time to watch the sunset while having tea. I had an early dinner and then I had the leisure to read a book in my room. While going back the young lad who dropped me to my room with a torch asked me in Hindi, "Madam are you not afraid?" To be honest the previous night I was not at all but once he asked me I did started to think that I was alone (on my side of the open space) and there was no one around for miles! That night I kept a few lights on when went to sleep!
Read Day 1 account of my visit to Lakshman Sagar here.
nice post. did not know that there is town by name Raipur in Rajasthan . looking at subject i thought you would be talking about capital of chhattisgarh.
Mridula, wow! that room is soooo very beautiful. I am so 'j' reading this post 😛 And talking of you being afraid, next time let me know…. I can accompany you 😉
so why dint u take the litt one along??
Wonderful resort! It is always memorable to spend a few days every year in a village. A blissful experience. Loved the post.
Room decor is excellent and so is the laal mirch !
Lovely sunset, and that looks like a great place to stay. But was the bathroom in the upstairs or downstairs part of your room? I think I might have tumbled down the stairs in the dark!
So jealous of the room 😉 Enjoy!!
Hope I am not dreaming!
Dear Mridula
Thanks a lot of the wonderful blog, and great shots of the place.
We (Sahil & Sarthalk) have finished designing this property in Dec 2010, and It was one of best projects we have worked on.
Came across your blog, following a picture taken by you.
We love the take on the property, and we hope to follow your blog to see what else you explore in future.

MATLAB and Simulink tools are widely used in communication system design. This includes system-level design and analysis, modeling of communications channels, simulation using standard-compliant waveforms such as LTE, and rapid prototyping using FPGAs. In addition, mobile communications engineers use MATLAB and Simulink to:
Early exploration of the system behavior of analog/mixed-signal and RF is a time-consuming process when done with low-level tools. MATLAB and Simulink enable easier early exploration of system behavior including mixed-signal and RF elements. Mobile device engineers model systems at a higher level of abstraction, incorporating blocks for digital signal processing and other domain-specific behavior when needed. This enables them to rapidly simulate the system with realistic environmental effects to improve the overall system design. The algorithms and other component models facilitate collaboration between the teams and can be reused for implementation and verification.
Integrating analog and baseband subsystems with system-level models via cosimulation allows early identification of design flaws within subsystems and at their interface boundaries. In the MATLAB and Simulink environment, communications engineers can connect subsystems modeled in different forms and different levels of fidelity (such as HDL models using Mentor Graphics® ModelSim®, C code for DSPs using Texas Instruments™ Code Composer Studio™, and analog circuit models using Cadence® Virtuoso®). Thus, they are able to ensure that subsystems will work together and that the designs match the original specifications.
Mobile devices are now the primary vehicle for streaming video, surfing the web, and listening to music. As such, mobile devices must incorporate the latest hardware and software algorithms for real-time video, on demand, and audio processing algorithms. Engineers use MATLAB to develop many of these multimedia algorithms, which can then be deployed to the latest mobile platforms.

Robson Crew Sweater 10-23-2016
Awesome quality & comfortable, worth the money.
Would say it fits true to size, definitely not 'slim' but it feels right for a sweater. Also, it's knit cotton so it's incredibly soft and not itchy.
Great For The Fall Parties 10-02-2016
Great for going to those Fall parties!!
Volcom Robson Crew Sweater 08-11-2016
Great sweater with a slightly slim fit. Love the color and it is made with quality that is fairly heavy. My only gripe would be the leather volcom logo towards the bottom, I judt think it is unnecessary and taints the classic look of the sweater. Also wish there was more than two color choices. Overall great product.

Stem Cells Used to Grow Hearts: Cool New Pics and Vid
When you're heart is broken, you'll do anything to fix it. Even replace it with a pig heart. Scientists at the University of Minnesota have been working on stripping down hearts, removing much of the muscular and vascular tissue. What you get is a semi-translucent "decellularised" heart. Add some stem cells, and a new heart can be grown on this scaffold. A new heart that your body won't reject, at least in theory. When Singularity Hub first brought you this story last year, researchers at UM were using the technique on rat hearts. Now, they've moved on to pig hearts and we've got a hold of some cool new pics and a short video from New Scientist. Check them out before and after the break.
The biggest problem is making sure that each heart grown is fully functioning and able to be transplanted. After being decellularised, each heart has to be recellularised by applying a coating of stem cells and having blood pumped through the heart scaffolding. Along with chemical signals from the scaffold cells, the blood allows the stem cells to specialize into the various needed tissues. Looking at the rat hearts in the pumping machine, it's hard to believe that you are looking at a living, autonomous organ outside a body. Check out the video from New Scientist:
The ultimate goal, as you would guess, is to radically increase the availability of hearts for transplant in humans. While pig hearts provide a good scaffold, we may see human hearts (from cadavers) as the finalized product. Similar techniques are being used for livers, kidneys, and lungs. Using a patient's stem cells, and either pig or cadaver scaffolding, doctors may be able to "grow" organs for transplant. Organs where most of the cells share the same DNA as the patient. It's the ideal situation.
But we are years away from that case at the very least. The University of Minnesota first released information on their research on rat hears back in January 2008. Eighteen months later, and we're just now seeing pig hearts in various stages of decellularisation. If and when recellularized pig hearts can be transplanted into pigs and keep them alive (the test already passed with rat hearts) we may hear talk about starting human trials. Judging by the slow but steady progress so far, this may be three to five years away. Fortunately, heart transplant patients have some experience with waiting and hoping.

So how much will one organ replacement cost?
So how much will one organ replacement cost?
How much will it cost you ask? Well if we continue to let the blood sucking insurance companies rule the healthcare world.. It will cost you everything you have and you'll either pay or die.. Insurance executives love rolling around in blood money.
How much will it cost, including the plane ticket to Mexico, Brasil or India? Cheap enough to bring down prices in the USA and similar countries?

Johnny Frigo: Johnny Frigo's DNA Exposed!
Take the violin, for instance. A beautiful instrument to say the least. One of the best 'supporting actors' so-to-speak in a musical settingparticularly a Jazz ensemble. The Johnny Frigo comes along and shows what a violin can be with the right person at the bow. I am sure many of us have watched Sherlock Holmes movies/episodes where the famed detective pulls out a violin and plays a hauntingly beautiful piece. This album is what Holmes would be playing if he were alive today. It is rife with a beautiful variety of tunes from melancholy or bitterssweet to just plain fun. The Supporting cast for the album does what such a cast is supposed to dobe one with the lead. This is a beautiful album, and Johnny has shown that being 80+ does not necessarily hamper one's ability to perform at the top.

Brief Summary
Linanthus parryae (pronounced "parry-eye") is a tiny annual plant living in deserts and dry regions of California (U.S. A.). In years with lots of rain, so many L. parryae germinate that the ground is covered with the little white-flowered plants, whose common name is "desert snow." But in some places, the "snow" is purplish-blue, because, though white-flowered plants are more common overall, L. parryae can also be blue-flowered. And there are some populations that are almost all blue-flowered. This has made them very interesting to evolutionary biologists who want to understand the forces behind genetic differences within and between populations. Since flower-color is a genetic difference we can easily see, L. parryae is a good organism for those kinds of studies.
Why are some populations of L. parryae almost all white, some almost all blue-purple, and some mixed? Does natural selection favor white-flowered plants in one place and blue-flowered plants in another? Or maybe flower-color (and any traits that might be linked to it) is neutral, i.e., it doesn't affect the plant's survival. If that's the case, than it must be the randomness of genetic drift that has resulted in these L. parryae color mosaics. In the 1930's the geneticist Sewall Wright developed mathematical models that showed that in small populations one type of a gene can become "fixed" as a result of randomness in who survives and reproduces. In the early 1940's, Carl Epling and Theodosius Dobzhansky, the first to study L. parryae, concluded that genetic drift was responsible for the flower-color patterns they saw, and they cited Wright's models (Epling & Dobzhansky 1942). Wright analyzed their data and agreed that genetic drift was the answer (Wright 1943).
But Epling and others returned to the desert and collected more data. Their conclusion this time was that it's natural selection, not genetic drift acting to create and maintain the flower-color differences: "The conclusion seems warranted, therefore, that the frequencies of blue and white flowered plants are in the long run the product of selection operating at an intensity we have been unable to measure…" (Epling et al. 1960). However, Wright still believed that genetic drift was responsible (Wright 1978). Wright "won," and Linanthus parryae became a textbook example of genetic drift acting in natural populations. But no one had yet collected any data actually measuring fitness, i.e., survival and reproductive success, in L. parryae to see if there were differences in how well white-flowered plants did vs. those with blue flowers. So beginning in the early 1990's, evolutionary biologists Paulette Bierzychudek and Douglas Schemske began many years of data collection and experiments to figure out whether Wright was really right (Schemske & Bierzychudek 2001, Turelli et al. 2001, Pennisi 2007, Schemske & Bierzychudek 2007).
After over a decade of detailed, meticulous, (hot, dry, & dusty) work in the Mojave Desert and in their laboratories, they concluded that Wright was wrong. It's actually natural selection, varying in space and time that has created the differences in flower-color among populations of L. parryae. In years with overall high seed production, white-flowered plants make more seeds. But in bad years, blue-flowered plants make more. That explains the mixed populations. Schemske and Bierzychudek also found that there are some places where ecological differences between different areas favor one flower-color over the other, and these areas can be separated by very short distances, explaining the all white and the all blue-flowered populations. So though genetic drift can still explain differences among populations of some species, we now know that flower-color in Linanthus parryae is not an example.

United States
Origin: Unknown/Undetermined
Regularity: Regularly occurring
Currently: Unknown/Undetermined
Confidence: Confident
Endemic to California (U.S.A.). Occurs in deserts and dry regions of the southern half of the state: southern Sierra Nevada foothills, San Joaquin Valley, eastern south coast ranges, western transverse ranges, Mojave Desert, and desert mountains (http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/get_JM_treatment.pl?Linanthus+parryae)
Physical Description
Stem: decumbent [prostrate along surface of ground] or very short-erect concealed by leaves, 2–10 cm, glandular-hairy
Leaf: lobes 5–15 mm, linear, hairy
Inflorescence: crowded leafy; flowers sessile [having no stalk; growing directly from the stem]
Flower: calyx 6–8 mm, tube obscure, membrane extended along lobes; corolla funnel-shaped, white or blue-purple, tube 1 mm, throat 1–2 mm, lobes 8–12 mm, generally jagged at tip, dark purple kidney-shaped arch at base; stamens included
Height: Sources vary, with the range between 1 and 10 cm (Epling & Dobzhansky 1942; Epling et al. 1960; Schemske & Bierzychudek 2001; http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/get_JM_treatment.pl?Linanthus+parryae).
Flower: 1 to 1.5 cm long; 2 cm wide (Schemske & Bierzychudek 2001).
Sandy desert flats and hard soil of arid slopes at elevations between 2000 and 6300 ft (610 to 1920 meters) (Jepson 1925).
Seeds drop to the soil at the base of the dried mother-plant. Pollen is dispersed by the plant's only pollinator, the beetle Trichochorous sp. (Melyridae). Gene-flow studies show that genes are moving (via pollen dispersal) at least 500 m (Schemske & Bierzychudek 2007).
Trophic Strategy
Primary production (autotrophy) via photosynthesis
Linanthus parryae's only pollinator is the beetle Trichochorous sp. (Melyridae) (Epling et al. 1960; Schemske & Bierzychudek 2001).
Life History and Behavior
L. parryae is self-incompatible, out-crossing via pollination by Trichochorous sp. beetles (Epling et al. 1960; Schemske & Bierzychudek 2001).
Flower number and seed number are highly variable. In dry years, plants produce an average of 1 or 2 flowers with a total of 10 to 30 seeds. In contrast, wet years may result in many more flowers and ten times the seed production (Schemske & Bierzychudek 2001).
In years with low overall seed-production, blue-flowered plants produce more seeds than do white-flowered plants, and vice versa. In years of relatively high seed production, the white-flowered plants out-produce the blues (Schemske & Bierzychudek 2001).
Molecular Biology and Genetics
Diploid number (2N) = 18 chromosomes (http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/get_JM_treatment.pl?Linanthus+parryae)
Breeding studies by Epling et al. (1960) suggest that the flower color polymorphism is controlled by one gene, with "blue" dominant to white. However, some of their results indicate that the system may be more complicated (Epling et al. 1960). And field observations of a range of intensities among blue flowers support this possibility (Schemske & Bierzychudek 2001).

Linanthus parryae
Linanthus parryae is a species of flowering plant in the phlox family known by the common name sandblossoms. It is endemic to California, where it occurs in sandy, open habitat types in several regions from the Central Valley to the Sierra Nevada foothills and the Mojave Desert. This is a petite annual herb producing short stems just a few centimeters tall surrounded by hairy, needle-lobed leaves. The inflorescence, which often appears to sit directly on the ground tucked amidst the leaves, is a cluster of funnel-shaped flowers about a centimeter wide. The flowers are self-incompatible and are cross-pollinated exclusively by a Melyrid beetle, Trichochorous sp.[1] Seeds germinate after winter rains in January to February, producing flowering plants in April and shedding seeds in May to June.[2] Seeds are passively dispersed and remain viable for at least seven years, with no germination in dry years.[1] The flowers on a plant may be white or blue. Flower color is mainly controlled by a single gene locus, with the allele for white flowers being recessive and the alleles of the blue flower being of the dominant type.[2] Most populations have predominantly white flowers, with some populations mainly blue flowers, and some others with both blue and white flowered plants occurring at intermediate frequencies.[2] The proportions of each color remain quite stable over time and in some locations there are sharp transitions from blue to white flowered populations.[2] This uncommon phenomenon has made this species a model organism in studies of genetic variation.[3]
For many decades a long line of geneticists and botanists, including Sewall Wright, Carl Epling, and T. G. Dobzhansky, have studied populations of this flower to determine the factors that influence this polymorphism. Color frequencies may vary for many reasons, including genetic drift and pure natural selection. Wright built his isolation by distance and Shifting Balance theories on genetic drift in this flower using data collected by Epling and Dobzhansky in the Mojave Desert.[1] More recent studies place greater emphasis on the effects of natural selection on color frequency.[1][4][2]

Bill Maher Hit With Palimony SuitEx accuses HBO star of physical abuse, "degrading racial comments"
NOVEMBER 11--Comedian Bill Maher was slapped yesterday with a $9 million palimony suit by an ex-girlfriend who alleges that the HBO star subjected her to physical and verbal abuse, including "insulting, humiliating and degrading racial comments." In the below Los Angeles Superior Court complaint, Nancy Johnson, a centerfold model and former flight attendant also known as Coco Johnsen, alleges that Maher, 48, reneged on promises to pay her expenses and purchase a Beverly Hills home. Johnson, who says she dated Maher for 17 months before splitting from him in May, also c
(Excerpt) Read more at thesmokinggun.com ...
Not the first time. He has a history of this.
... and she believed him?
they should toss her out of court just for being so stupid
Bill Maher is a slut.
date on article ... November 11, 2004
No, I stand corrected. This story is from 2004, and the case has long been settled. The poster should have mentioned that.
Haven't we been here before with Maher?
You stole my comment by a minute. Anyone woman who sleeps with this bastard should be declared certifiably insane.
He's 56 now. Article is from 2004
Duck Quacks! News at 11:00
Did he slap her around with that shnoz of his?
The fact that he can't keep a woman for more than 17 months without offering her houses etc tells us he's not much... but then again we suspected that from his comments about Sarah Palin...
I can believe that Maher is a real bass turd to be around. He comes across to me as being a real, obnoxious pig.
Maher likes girls? Who knew?
so the misogynist actually physically hits women? just another freak in the Obama circus.
He was joking
People like Maher are insecure to the extreme. Always putting others down because it makes them feel good, big and strong. He must have had an abusive father. He's a vile little man.
Your theory fits the man. What does that say about America that he can make money at it though? Tenebrific sign of the times.
She "dated" him for 17 months and now thinks she deserves nine million dollars in court ordered compensation for her own stupidity and poor judgment?
Ironic that Bill Maher just might end up being the winning test case for tort reform!
Can we gather a group together to file a class action lawsuit against people who file lawsuits for publicity stunts?
Whew I thought for a minute it was going to name Ann Coulter.
Hey Mahar!! Whos the "Bitch" Now?
It's funny (probably to me only) that his name spelled backwords is (almost) 'lib re-ham'. All right, I have series problems.
Actually she's sort of cute.
First thing I've agree with Maher about, in fact.
Sweet. He should have treated her better. IMO.
Gawd man, his face looks like a hollywood latex mask from a cheep 70's thriller movie laid loosely over his head. One day, some gal's husband is going to walk up to this clown and flatten his nose across his face, I only hope it will be caught on camera....
No, you don't have 'series' problem - spelling names backwards. Cause if you do, then I do. And I don't!
I see words backwards all the time! (emit)
Like: tips - spit, stop - pots, Tums - smut, and so on!
Go on - try it!
It says NOTHING about America but it says a lot about elite liberals - his audience - an audience that gets all worked up by his filthy mouth and hatred of conservative women...
Little on the sick side...
Soros - soros
He looks 86.
All the hate and negativity have taken their toll.
Maher . . . not Nancy
Bill Maher's straight?
Stop not on pots, my friend, stop not on pots! My kids think I am a freak.
He is the world's ugliest man, inside and out.
Now tell me he hasn't got a male organ for a nose, Peen Maher
I like these:
Napoleon: "Able was I ere I saw this crappy little island."
Ferdinand DeLesseps: "A man, a plan, a canal: Suez."
'Soros - soros'
Egg - celent!
Your example, I mean. . .
What is a word (or sentence) called when spelled the same forwards and backwards - - -
It won't come to me - - - rrrrrr
Wait - 'palindrome' - yes.
'Stop not on pots - ' My kids think I am a freak.'
They should be so talented!!!
It's a man.
You're right - he's 'team Obama'...
So is Laz. See his tagline.

Okay, this is strange but I really need help and want to get this resolved. For about the past 2 years I feel sick immediatly after walking outside into warm/humid/hot air. I feel like someone would if their blood sugar was droping but the problem is - as soon as I walk indoors - I am fine. It is sooo sudden and so strong I am worried. It doesn't take but 15 seconds of walking out the door and I feel sick, dizzy, lightheaded, like I need to eat something. If I turn around and walk back indoors- I'm fine.
I live in PA so in the winter - this doesn't happen. It happened to be bad today & it isn't even what I'd consider "hot" out.
Anyone with suggestions? I can't find anything on the internet besides symptoms of sensitivity to long heat exposure...nothing about instant suffering as soon as outdoors.
Thanks in advance!!

The Sailor and the Whale: Survival at Sea
A 40-ton gray whale lunges onto the deck, and Max Young seems sunk. What follows is the fight of his life.
A dozen years after he set out to sail around the world, Max Young was entering the homestretch—an 850-mile haul from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, to San Diego, then a 500-mile hop to San Francisco. On a moonless night in June 2012, his 50-foot cutter, Reflections, cruised northward, propelled by a steady breeze, its rudder guided by autopilot. Young, 67, sat in the pilothouse, gazing out at a magnificent conflagration of stars. The retired schoolteacher wished that his wife, who'd skipped this leg of the trip, were there to share the beauty.
A yawn escaped him. Usually, Young slept all day when he was sailing solo so he'd be fully alert to meet the challenges of nighttime navigation. Today, however, he had only catnapped: The ocean had been full of whales—grays, he guessed, migrating toward Alaska. He'd seen dozens, more than he'd ever observed in such concentration. Lolling and flourishing their flukes, they were wonderful to watch, but he was relieved when he'd gotten past them. Now he stretched and glanced at the autopilot gauges. The chronometer read 10:12 p.m.
Suddenly, Young heard a tremendous whoosh from beneath the hull. His adrenaline surged. An instant later, a whale easily as long as the boat rocketed out of the water in a cascade of silver spray, just off the stern. It seemed suspended upright above Reflections, the barnacles on the underside of its head glimmering in the vessel's running light. Next came a cacophony of crumpling metal and cracking fiberglass as the head and upper body of the 40-ton animal slammed onto the rear deck. The bow tilted skyward. For a moment, the sailor and the whale made eye contact. Young toppled forward into a pile of bags. As the creature struggled to free itself, the boat turned sharply to the left. When Young looked up, the beast was gone.
The tower that held his wind generator and radio antennas—ten feet tall, made of two-inch steel tubing—swayed, then collapsed into the sea. The stern railing was mangled, but the craft was still afloat. Young presumed that its inch-and-a-half-thick hull had survived the event.
His first concern was to get back on course. He was now headed southwest, toward Polynesia. Young figured the collision had thrown the autopilot out of adjustment, so he tried to reset it. But the boat continued on its wayward path.
Perhaps the problem was with the steering. Young went below to check the lines, but they seemed normal. In the stern cabin, he noticed that the floor and mattress were wet. Then, on his way back up the steps, he heard an ominous sloshing. Lifting a hatch beneath the small stairway, he was shocked to find three feet of water in the bilge, an area between the floorboards and the hull. Some accumulation was normal, but a set of pumps usually kept it to a few inches.
Young began checking the most likely sources of a leak: the pipes that ran from the galley and two bathrooms through the hull and the spot where the bilge pumps emptied into the ocean. Everything was sound. When he checked the bilge again, the water was still rising. Returning to the top deck, he tried steering the boat by hand, but the wheel would turn only a few inches.
Now Young was fighting panic. He quickly set off two emergency beacons. For good measure, he flipped the switch on his pocket-size beacon, which had a much smaller range but a signal that could provide rescuers with more precise information about his location. Only U.S. Coast Guard facilities could pick up the beacons' frequencies, and the nearest base was in San Diego, 450 miles to the northeast. He wasn't sure if the alert would make it that far, and, if it did, whether Reflections would still be afloat by the time help arrived.
Hoping to summon assistance from nearby, he grabbed a portable two-way radio—able to transmit over just a few miles—and shouted, "Mayday! Mayday!" There was no response.
Young sat down and took a deep breath. It's been a good life, God, he prayed. I'm not a young guy. But my 23rd wedding anniversary is in two weeks, and my granddaughter's third birthday is the same day.
She's got leukemia, God. I'd really like to make it home.
Thanks! You're on our list.
