Kenneth Alan Hultquist II, 61, of Lahaina, passed away on December 12, 2012 at Maui Memorial Medical Center of complications after having gall bladder surgery.
He was born February 19, 1951 in Germany, the second child of a romance between the colonel's daughter and an air force basket ball star; ?also living in France and then Yuma, Arizona. ? Going to high school in Pennsylvania, Kenny wrote the first of many songs-Buttermilk Falls. Later, in California, he went to college in the redwoods and wrote for the school newspaper. He managed the band LAZER BOY ?and also was a roadie on a tour with Huey Lewis and the News. For a while he drove taxi in L.A. and had many stories about passengers he picked up from Hollywood to Malibu and up into Laurel Canyon. He and high school friend Vicki reconnected, got married, and moved back ?to the Fairfield area. Daughter Arika was born and then son Nils.?
In 1996 Kenny joined Maui Live Poets Society reciting the many songs he had written as poems. It was there that he met another unique artist, Ellen Levinsky, and they spent the next 16 years living in a quaint cottage in Lahaina. As a group, the poets made the 'longest piece of paper' at Kenny's workshop and with contributions from many it ?became the 'longest peace poem' and was presented at the U.N. ?
In 2006 Kenny decided to take some video classes at AKAKU, the public access TV station on Maui. Kenny loved his Sony camera and would ride around town with it mounted on his bicycle filming whatever and whoever was in sight. He has had over 50 of his videos shown on AKAKU and Honolulu TV stations; the subjects including Maui County meetings, politicians, children's activities, art shows, musicians performing, motorcycles on Front St., whales at birthday parties, the Surfboard Fence, fires filmed from a helicopter, the sinking of the Brig Carthaginian, and many ?other ?community events. ?
Kenny was a fearless activist testifying at many meetings, writing letters to the Editor, and filming county meetings for Maui Tomorrow to help preserve the future of Maui and educate the public. He also played guitar and sang his songs at open mic venues including Hard Rock Cafe, Lahaina Cafe, Maui Brews, Moose McGillycuddy's, Coolers, Life's A Beach, and under the Lahaina Banyan Tree. ?Many Maui musicians enjoyed performing with Kenny and the P. E S. T. S.; ?playing along with his most popular song, Concerned Citizen. ?
Predeceased by his son Nils, and brother Kirk; Kenny is survived by his parents, Harriet Hultquist and Kenneth Alan Hultquist, sisters Jane and Gail, ?his companion of 16 years Ellen, daughter Arika, and grandchildren Makena and Kieren-Kawai. ?Cards may be sent to the family-Hultquist, P.O. Box 1121, Lahaina, Hi. 96767.
There will be a celebration of Kenny's life in January, date and location to be announced.

When taken together, and ONLY when taken together, the proprietary ingredients in N-MET act as metabolic modulators and significantly reduce emotional stress, which in turn releases energy (versus consuming energy).
Stress fatigues because it depletes your body's ATP. ATP is necessary for productive purposes (like thinking and working).
Reducing stress releases ATP for use by our tissues for their specific function. Energy to the brain makes it possible to focus and think.
Energy to the muscles lets us work.
But there is more to the N-MET energy story.
Generating calming neurotransmitters requires ATP energy as well as the starting materials tryptophan, glycine, glutamine, and trimethylglycine.
You can't build a house without a foundation, and your body cannot produce the required neurotransmitters without sufficient ATP.
So, we must produce optimal amounts of ATP in our cells. N-MET insures the sustained production of optimum levels of ATP energy by supplying N-acetyl-carnitine, which is required for efficient conversion of fats into ATP.
By supplying the complex mixture of folic acid, Vitamin B12 and Trimethylglycine necessary to remove damaging homocysteine from the cell, we protect and optimize the cell's ability to make ATP.
Again, administration of individual, simple metabolites such as B-vitamins and folic acid is NOT SUFFICIENT to drive ATP energy production or the synthesis of calming neurotransmitters.
It is the balanced action of all of the N-MET components together that results in the natural calm and sustained energy that comes from a balanced metabolism.
Finally, we must recognize that a repaired physiology brings with it a healthy psychology.
A calm mind + abundant energy = confidence.
The self-confidence to blow past confusion and fear of the unknown to fulfill our respective destinies. N-MET works equally well for children of all ages above 2 years, and I count myself as an overgrown child.
By Dr. Joel Pardee

If you have any questions please leave a comment below.
The brain needs sufficient Serotonin and L-Glycine to shut down an overactive amygdala. People with low levels of brain Serotonin and Glycine are stuck in a perpetual state of anxiety, fear, and unrest...Otherwise known as Sensory Overload.
Location of the Amygdala in the Brain. The tiny amygdala is located on top of the spinal cord. Nerve signals from the eyes, ears and skin are transmitted to the amygdala where they are analyzed for potential danger.
In our brain fearful emotions are controlled by a tiny organ called the amygdala. It is often referred to as the Anger Management Center.
Here, sensory inputs such a sights, sounds and touch are analyzed for their "danger quotient" and appropriate responses are mounted to escape any perceived danger.
Unless the reasoning part of the brain instructs the amygdala that the sensation is not dangerous, the amygdala automatically triggers a "fight or flight" response.
We have all experienced the effects of being startled and scared. It's an adrenalin rush. In an instant we are on high alert. We panic and are overpowered with an intense urge to fight or run. At the instant we perceive danger, we are thrust into a state of Acute Sensory Overload.
N-MET brings calm and focus by stimulating (enhancing) the production of calming neurotransmitters in the brain, and by removing destructive metabolites already present.
The result is improved brain function that allows us to better control our emotions.
Most supplements taken orally (or by other means) do not contain components that make it past the blood brain barrier and into the brain.
This is where N-MET is different.
The most famous calming neurotransmitter is Serotonin (the "feel good" hormone), but there are 2 others that are just as important: Glycine and GABA.
(note: there are many others that play a very important role in the synthesis of these neurotransmitters. More on this later).
Elevation of the neurotransmitters; Glycine, GABA, and Serotonin, as well as removal of the destructive metabolite homocystine all contribute in a different way to control runaway emotions.
Naturally, it is necessary to know how these neurotransmitters work. Basically, they work by damping down sensory overloads. Take serotonin for instance:
1. A loud noise occurs = this is a sensory overload to our sense of hearing.
2. We feel Immediate stress (fright). Startle Reflexes respond to help us escape. Cover ears, duck for cover, yell to others, etc.
3. Brain quickly analyses the situation. Determines if there is danger to us.
4. If no danger, the brain triggers an inhibitory response from neurons that contain serotonin. These directly damp down the excited neurons in the brain and thereby relieve the stressful startle response. We become calm.
5. Here's the critical point. In order to relieve the stress and panic of the startle response, we must have sufficient quantities of serotonin circulating in our brains to damp down the excitation.
And each and every one of us has slightly different levels of circulating serotonin; calm people have a lot, nervous people have less. People who suffer from acute anxiety and sensory overload have the least.
We all know that one of the hallmarks of autistic behavior is to cover the ears and find a quiet dark place even in normal ranges of sound and light. They are experiencing sensory overload. They are stuck in the startle response mode, because they are not making enough serotonin to damp it down. The result is anger, frustration, an inability to concentrate, and emotional stress (and a number of other behaviors we have seen).
N-MET works by enhancing the production of serotonin in the brain, so that sufficient quantities are present to modulate and balance our reactions to stress. It brings the brain back into metabolic balance. Enhancement of serotonin reduces anxiety by producing a calm and accepting mood. It also induces sleep (more on how N-MET helps with sleep later).
The other neurotransmitters glycine and GABA work in a similar manner. Enhancement of glycine levels in brain and reduction of homocysteine significantly reduces fear, anger and aggression (which in men especially is a normal response to danger).
In the same way, elevation of GABA moderates uncontrolled muscular movements, such as self-stimulation, hand flapping, pacing, etc.
In Part II we'll go into more detail on GABA and Glycine. Stay tuned.
If you have any questions about N-MET please feel free to contact me at CONTACT US on the homepage.
-Dr. Joel
Differences in behavior should be quickly noticeable. Anger, panic attacks and general agitation are noticeably diminished within a day. General mental confusion and lack of focus take longer (a week or so). Improved sleep about the same.
As you see the beneficial effect, you may want to increase the dose from 2.5ml to 5 ml AM and PM, or not, if the starting dose is working well. Always take the Minimal Effective Dose. Do not give N-MET within 2-3 hours of bedtime because it contains sustaining energy components that are needed to drive the metabolic synthesis of the calming neurotransmitters, serotonin, glycine and GABA.
The effects are not cumulative or additive, but do require steady use of N-MET. If you miss a dose, just continue with the same regimen.My wife and I experienced exactly the same sensory overload behaviors with our son, and they were quickly and dramatically relieved after starting him on N-MET.
Remember to be mindful of sufficient carbohydrates in your diet to prevent hypoglycemia. Some sugar is beneficial because it is the brain's primary energy source, and with N-MET to calm, sugar will not result in hyperactivity (given within reason).
If you have any questions at all please feel free to contact me at my personal email address: firstname.lastname@example.com or simply visit the Contact Us page and fill out the form. It will be forwarded directly to my email.
It sometimes goes unnoticed that HEAT is a major cause of SENSORY OVERLOAD.
As the temperature rises, body metabolism works harder to keep body core temperature cool. This leads to both physical and emotional stress. We become agitated, lethargic, frustrated and often downright angry.
Those who are susceptible to SENSORY OVERLOAD feel doubly stressed and out of control. The solution is to stay hydrated, keep cool (AC is a help), lower the lights, find a quiet spot, and keep metabolites replenished.
We find that spacing a dose of N-MET out in 4-5 hour intervals works best. In this sweltering summer, we must be alert to the damaging effects of HEAT on our sensitive children.

Q: I have a 7 year old daugther that has autsim...[we are] having problems with her getting upset and trying to bite herself or stomp her feet very hard, some times she gets out of control. [I] Would like to now more about the product. Looking forward to hearing from you thanks.
Dr. Joel's Answer: I believe your daughter is the perfect candidate for N-MET. My wife and I experienced exactly the same Sensory Overload behaviors with our son, and they were quickly relieved after starting him on N-MET. As detailed in our website, N-MET contains only pure, natural metabolites that are used everyday by our body and brain. I urge you to try it at your earliest convenience. Start with a dosage of 2.5 ml in the morning and late afternoon. Dilute it into a sweet, non-dairy drink that your girl enjoys.
N-MET is extremely tart because there are no sweeteners (neither sugar nor artificial sweeteners) in it. Watch her behaviors. You should see beneficial effects within a day or two of the first dose (no kidding). As you see the beneficial effect, you may want to increase the dose to 5 ml AM and PM, or not if the starting dose is working well.
Always go for the Minimal Effective Dose. Do not give N-MET within 2-3 hours of bedtime because it contains sustaining energy components that are needed to drive the metabolic synthesis of the calming neurotransmitters, serotonin, glycine and GABA.
More details on the mechanism of action and metabolic enhancement are posted on the N-MET.com website. Also be mindful of sufficient carbohydrates in your daughter's diet to prevent hypoglycemia. Carbohydrates are beneficial because sugar is the brain's primary energy source, and with N-MET to calm, sugar will not result in hyperactivity (given within reason). All our best wishes, and keep us apprised of your girl's progress. We are here to help.
Q: ...What is in this medication?...With my autisic son I have to be very carefull of his diet and regulate any other changes. So what is in this that can make me confident that it's safe?
Dr. Joel's Answer: Thank you for your inquiry and your rightful and careful concerns for your guy. We were just as cautious when we began to introduce components of the formula to our son. A complete list of N-MET components can be found on the Ordering page of the N-MET.com website, along with common allergens that are NOT in the formula.
In general, N-MET contains only the components that are listed, and each component is in pure form (>99% pure). All of the ingredients are natural metabolites that we take in through our diet, and are used every day by the body and brain. They enter normal metabolic pathways and if not used are excreted within 4-6 hours (the normal turnover rate for these metabolites). There is no accumulation with repeated dosage, and so no overdosing can occur.
(editor's note: N-MET is manufactured in the USA, you can have confidence that we use the highest quality ingredients and manufacturing processes.)
The secret to N-MET is that the metabolites in the formula have been carefully chosen to selectively enhance the metabolic pathways that produce the inhibitory neurotransmitters; serotonin, glycine & GABA essential for modulation of Sensory Overload. The mechanisms of action are documented in more detail in the website under the various headings of "What is Sensory Overload?", "Defeating Sensory Overload", etc. N-MET has a very tart taste because we purposely do not include sugar, artificial sweeteners or preservatives. So, it must be diluted into any sweet, non-dairy drink that your son enjoys. We have learned from our son that sugar is an essential in his diet because it is the brain's primary source of energy, and because low blood sugar results in hypoglycemia with all the very debilitating behaviors attendant upon it.
I hope this helps, and if you have any further questions/concerns at all, please don't hesitate to Contact Me. We are here to help. Best of Luck to you and yours. It worked wonders for us. Here's confidently hoping it will for you.
Q: Both my husband and I are in the medical field. We have a 22 year old son with autism. His episodes of rage are becoming more violent and all evidenced based medication appear to be ineffective....It is a leap of faith for two scientists to try this product, despite your remarkable credentials....We are close to despair at this point, but still cautious about buying a product over the Internet.
Dr. Joel's Answer: Thank you for your candid and informative inquiry. Here is my equally candid reply. You and yours are in exactly the same position as my wife and I were with our son, now 20 years old. N-MET was the answer, which is precisely why we decided to offer it to the public at large.
As with you, all drug and behavioral therapies failed for him. With testosterone driven emergence into adolescence, his rages, panic attacks, and insomnia reached epidemic proportions, and with increasing size and strength, he was getting dangerous. I invented N-MET out of the same sense of desperation that you are experiencing. N-MET worked wonders for our guy. He is now a happy, loving young man who is gaining self-confidence and is interacting with others beautifully (See "Dan's Story") on our N-MET.com website. There you will also find descriptions of Sensory Overload and the physiologic mechanisms employed by N-MET to modulate it.
N-MET is safe. It is composed only of pure metabolites used every day by our body and brain. I am not a business man or sales person. I am a professor of medical science, a research scientist, writer, teacher, former dean, father and caretaker of an autistic child. So I'm not good at self-promotion. But I am compelled to recommend this formula that changed all of our lives for the better. Try it. Start with a lower dose (2.5 ml in the AM and PM) and observe. You will then be in position to increase the dose as you see fit. We do 5 ml at 4-5 hour intervals (the normal turnover rate for these metabolites).
The effect of N-MET on quelling anger and agitation should be evident within an hour or two of taking the 1st dose (I'm not kidding). Do not take N-MET within 2-3 hours of bedtime, since it contains components to enhance the sustained production of ATP energy to drive the synthesis of the inhibitory neurotransmitters, serotonin, glycine and GABA. Every physiology is unique, so the effect will vary with individuals. However, we have many, many success stories that convince us of the general applicability of N-MET to calm, focus and energize.... As for the drugs, I am dead set against them....It is not at all clear to me that [they are] beneficial for autism or ADHD. My very best to your family and especially your guy. There is a fine person waiting to be released into his true self. Finally, Keep the Faith and let me know how you are progressing.

Today I'm starting what I'm calling the "Butter 30". Originally I'd planned to do the Whole30 but I realized that the purpose of my experiment isn't to tackle possible food allergies but to avoid "addictive" food. So with this in mind the objective is to eliminate sugar, grains and all dairy except butter and double cream but I won't be too bothered about trace amounts of stuff in otherwise OK food.
Also going to stay low carb (only consume starch/fruit after extended exercise) for the period since I've never stayed low-carb for that long. I've been critical of low-carb before but I'm curious as to the long-term effects.
Plan is to eat two meals a day (I despise breakfast) with no more than 400 g of meat per day in total. I don't have a 'fat target' but just going to keep it generally high with plenty of fatty meat, butter and cream for sauces etc.
Wish me luck!

Writing political commentary around here is like hunting in a game preserve.
Carnella Greene-Norman is really in a runoff for a Circuit Court judgeship? Blam!
Dr. Robert Bentley really changed his first name to "Dr." in a failed attempt to have his title included on the ballot? Blam!
It's too easy. Just point and shoot.
But since Alabama has trimmed its herd in the primaries, it's time to take a closer look at the survivors. Look out for these races. And when I say that, I mean ... Look out!
- The first is the runoff between Greene-Norman and Denise Pomeroy for Jefferson County Circuit Judge, Place 23. Greene-Norman, I must remind you, used to be presiding judge at Birmingham Municipal Court. She lost that gig after a series of people stepped up to swear she was not only inefficient and vindictive, but openly racist.
That was 10 years ago. Now -- forgiving as we are -- we're about to make her a circuit judge.
Heads up, Bambi!
- Birmingham City Councilman Johnathan Austin faces former Jefferson County Commissioner George Bowman in Commission District 1.
Bowman didn't embarrass us when he served on the commission. He didn't solve our problems, either.
Austin, though, is more proof that Birmingham voters have a forgiving nature. He won election to the city council, and led the pack in this race, despite his 2003 youthful indiscretion of pleading guilty to possessing marijuana -- and scales to weigh it. What were the scales for? I guess they speak to his ... precision.
- In County Commission District 2, former Birmingham City Councilwoman Sandra Little-Brown faces Midfield Mayor Gary Richardson. Little-Brown wrote the handbook on council smack talk. As she famously told former Mayor Bernard Kincaid, "You are a little, little man."
Richardson used to work as a consultant to help a bond dealer get city of Birmingham business -- which is a worry in a county drowning in bond-dealer-induced debt. He is best known, though, as a radio personality. I guess he's trying to follow the media-to-commission trail blazed by Larry Langford and Shelia Smoot. We know how well that worked.
- And then there is Bentley, sitting in second place in the GOP governor's race as they count provisional ballots. His campaign confirmed Thursday he really did have his first name legally changed to "Dr."
Is that as wacky as it sounds?
I don't know. Turns out his campaign felt his ads made an impact. But while people wanted to support "that doctor," they couldn't remember the name.
So he changed it to make sure the "Dr." got on the ballot. It was an extreme act, and all for nothing. The Republican Party still wouldn't put it on the ballot, so in the primary he was plain old Robert Bentley.
Yep. The game is so plentiful around here that I sometimes feel guilty pulling the trigger.
No I don't.

Joseph A. Suozzi, a Member of the firm at Meyer, Suozzi, English & Klein, P.C. located in Garden City, Long Island, N.Y., was the third of Glen Cove's City Court Judges when he was elected in November 1949. He was 28 years of age and was said to be the youngest elected or appointed Judge in the United States. Today, as an active member of Meyer, Suozzi, English & Klein, P.C., Judge Suozzi counsels clients on personal, business and legal matters.
Born in the obscure medieval southern village of Ruvo del Monte located in the province of Potenza, Italy, Judge Suozzi and his mother, Rosa Ciampa, immigrated to the United States in 1925. They joined his father, Michele, who had preceded them to the United States arriving here in 1913. Before returning to Italy in 1920 to marry, Michele Suozzi had served in the U.S. Infantry and had become a naturalized citizen. As a result of this, Judge Suozzi was a citizen of the United States.
Judge Suozzi attended elementary and high school in Glen Cove and Oyster Bay. He volunteered as an Aviation Air Cadet prior to his graduation from college. He entered military service with the United States Air Force during World War II and became a navigator assigned to a B-24 bombing crew of the 15th Air Force. Based at Torretta Air Field in Cerignola, Italy, he was less than 50 miles from his birthplace. He completed 35 bombing missions in Austria, Yugoslavia, Germany, and Italy, for which he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal with three Clusters.
After attending Harvard Law School, Judge Suozzi was admitted to the practice of law in the State of New York and joined with then Glen Cove Mayor Luke Mercadante as a law partner with an office in Glen Cove. The law firm became Mercadante, Suozzi, and Sordi, with the addition of Nicholas A. Sordi, and later Suozzi & Sordi, until his election to the Supreme Court in 1960.
Elected to the bench of the City Court of Glen Cove 1949 and re-elected in 1953, Judge Suozzi resigned in September of 1955 to become a candidate for Mayor of Glen Cove and Supervisor of the County of Nassau. He served as Mayor from 1956 until 1960. In 1961 he was elected to a fourteen year term as Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, and was re-elected in 1974 for another term with bipartisan support. In 1976, then Governor Hugh Carey appointed him Associate Justice of the Appellate Division, Second Department. In 1980, he left that bench and resumed the general practice of law as a senior partner in the law firm of Meyer, Suozzi, English & Klein, P.C.
Judge Suozzi is the father of former Nassau County Executive Thomas R. Suozzi, who followed in his father's footsteps when he was elected the Mayor of the City of Glen Cove at the age of 31, and became the youngest person ever to hold the Nassau County Executive position, which he held from 2002-2009. Judge Suozzi has four other children, the late Joseph M. Suozzi, attorney / accountant who was associated with Deutsche Bank in Europe, daughter Rosemary Mancini Lloyd, who is a Unitarian Minister and is presently Assistant Pastor of the First Church of Boston, Dr. William Suozzi, a doctor of internal medicine, and Christopher Suozzi, who is associated with Credit Suisse First Boston.
Judge Suozzi is rated "AV Preeminent" by Martindale-Hubbell, the highest level in professional excellence.
