Day 4 - 136 nautical miles. 730 miles from here to Opua, New Zealand, as the crow flies. Of course we can't just sail a straight line there. Our course will zig and zag depending on which way the wind is blowing and what we think is in the future based on grib files, weather reports from the experts at Russell Radio, NZ, and position reports from fellow cruisers in the area. Currently about 30 boats are out here all on their way to Opua! So we've got something like 800+ miles to go. I'd like to be there by Thanksgiving. What date that is in New Zealand is a guess because we've just crossed the dateline and there's a bit of confusion over the UTC times as will. Suffice it to say I'm hoping we'll be there in 7-8 days. Lately we've been sailing southwest, riding along the top edge of a high pressure system. It is great sailing right now. We've got 15 knots from the southeast and our current heading is 210 degrees. Happily, there's not much swell either. We've got a lot of sail up because if ever there was a time to go as fast as possible it's right now. The longer you're out in this southern ocean the more chance you have that something will go wrong or some weather system will pop up and pop you! These high pressure systems go in a anti-clockwise circular motion. Problem is we've got to be heading a bit more south now and that might put us in the middle of the high where there's less wind. I KNOW, it's a lot of thinking all the time and I'm ready for a break from watching the weather. But not now, it's super important right now to get it right or you could get your head handed to you on a platter by Mother Nature. Sometimes she's kind and sometime she ain't. (You other cruisers reading this - you know what I mean!) A few side notes before I close...as we sail along there's lots of pumice floating by in the water. Areas of little pieces and some that are the size of an apple or orange. Proof again of what a volcanic area this is. Because of this, it's important to keep an eye on your water strainer going into the boat and keep it clean. One more job for Donald, as if he doesn't have enough to do as it is. Also, after being out here for over 4 days now, getting enough sleep becomes super important. We're doing 3 hour watches at night which seems to be working OK. But during the day, like right now typing this, my eyelids are drooping and I could lay down for another nap...I just got up!
Day 3 - 105 nautical miles. Light winds for most of the day today, and it's just beautiful out here. Blue skies, deep blue water and white puffy clouds marching along in a row in the distance. We passed a pod of some kind of whales yesterday which was a real treat. Last night the wind died about midnight and we motored towards Minerva Reef most of the night, thinking we would pull in this afternoon. We got within 45 miles. But then this morning southerly winds kicked in and now our course is a lot more west and I think we'll miss it altogether. We wanted to stop, and our friends on La Fiesta are waiting for us there but with the nice wind we have right now, it's hard to tack back to the east to get back over there. We would not have made it in tonight and would have to heave-to and go in in the morning. So now we are on route to New Zealand! The chatter on the radio today is all about the weather (so what else is new?) The weather routers that some people are using are calling this a really good weather window. Yet, they also say that there is very little wind just south of us for several days so be prepared to motor...I'm confused. I thought a good weather window meant it's a good time to sail to New Zealand. But I think they mean that it's 'Good Weather' right now since there's no big weather systems to worry about out there (like the cyclone-like Tropical Low a week or so ago). The thing with light winds is that the seas are lovely and flat, really comfortable sailing out here. Buena Vista just loves 10-12 knots of wind and can make 5-6 knots of speed over ground in those light conditions. Maybe other bigger boats are looking for 20+ knots of wind to go fast but not me! That just means bigger seas and a harder life on board.
Day 2 - 110 nautical miles. After the rough conditions yesterday, today was a breeze. We cruised along at about 6 knots under beautiful blue skies and sunny conditions. Don put the fishing lines out and we hooked up two mahi mahis at the same time. For a few minutes I was working one rod and Don was on the other. What a blast. Alas, mine got away so we focused on Don's. It took 30 minutes to get the thirty pounder to the side of the boat. I had to roll up the headsail to slow the boat down which always wears me out. As Don was pulling in the fish it had a huge burst of energy and flipped and took the lure and broke the line. Bummer. Let's try again. Only about ten minutes later we hooked up another huge fish, but the same thing happened. He got away just as he was getting close to the boat. I made some lunch and as we are eating another fish hit the line. This time we're already buggered so we keep eating and just drag the fish along behind the sailing boat while we eat. We hope this will wear him out enough for us to actually land the fish. This fish wasn't quite as large as the first two but probably twenty pounds just the same. It was still alot of work but we got him on board. Yippee! Sashimi for dinner tonight!
A quick note to say Happy Birthday to my good mate Sue off the catamaran 'Waveglider' who is probably celebrating with the folks on 'Juce' in La Paz, Mexico. Don't get in to too much trouble you guys! Happy Birthday to Gilly off the sailing vessel 'Destiny' who lives in beautiful Punta de Mita, by Puerto Vallarta. Hope it's a wonderful day for you. Happy 23rd Birthday to our niece Cara in Auckland, New Zealand. We'll be seeing you soon. And last but not least...to my dear friend Sheree who is caring for her sick mother in Encinada, Mexico. I love you and hope you have a great birthday too. Best wishes to you all.
Day One - 143 nautical miles. We left the very protected waters of Neiafu Harbor at 9am, knowing that once we got offshore the conditions would be quite different. The weather forecast showed only a few days of good winds to get down to Minerva Reef but the caveat was that the first day would be strong winds and boisterous seas. We went anyway and they were right, it was pretty rough out there. The seas weren't that big, only about 2 meters, but they were close together and choppy. We took wave after wave over the boat, covering us with salt and finding interior leaks we never knew existed. Water went in the navigation area and my primary computer got wet and I think it's dead. Bummer, thank goodness I have a backup which I'm using now. It was difficult to move around and forget about cooking. But as the sun set that evening the seas were starting to calm down and we saw light at the end of the tunnel. We left with Ladybug, Cheers, and La Fiesta. There were also others out there. As the sun went down it felt a bit crowded and you had to keep an eye out for masthead lights in the distance. At about 7pm, as the sun was setting I spotted something...it looked like a ferry or large ship since I knew there weren't any islands out where we were. But hey - OMG - it's an island. Have I made a mistake in my charting? I knew there was a shoal out here but an island? I check the charts again and Metis Shoal does have a note on it that there's been volcanic activity in the area in 1995. Wow - that must be a brand new volcanic island. What else is just under the surface around here?
The big blow has passed us to the SE and the wind has veered completely around as it does when a Low passes by. Now we've got a moderate southeasterly and the swell is slowly coming down from 3-4 meters to 2 meters. That's a sea we can handle...not the 4-5 meter seas that we've heard were out there recently. The weather gurus are telling us that we have a really nice weather window right now for sailing the 400 miles to Minerva Reef, and if we're really fast we might make it to New Zealand before the next big Low hits the north island. The idea of trying to beat a Low into New Zealand just makes me cringe. So, hopefully we can stop for a few days at Minerva Reef, take a break, then take off again a few days later. We'll see. Today we did lots of chores to get ready to leave tomorrow morning. I made a big bowl of potatoe salad and a big pot of spaghetti sauce to eat on the passage. We did one last shop at the farmer's market, stocking up on veggies and especially the wonderful apples they grow here. Jim on 'Sockdolager' let me use his cell phone and I was able to make several calls to my best friends in the states. That just made my day! We've said our goodbyes and compared notes with our mates that are also leaving Tonga tomorrow. There's a nice fleet taking off from here and we'll all be checking in twice a day on The Drifter's Net on SSB frequency 8133. We are ready to go...first thing in the morning!
The 'Fiji Low' (my name) that is passing just to the south of us is still being called a 'Tropical Depression'. My mates in California that are sending us weather updates say that what they are looking at is clearly a cyclone. Even so, the weather gurus that be have not given it a name as of yet. This cyclone was centered about 300 miles south of us last night and moving to the southeast. At it's strongest it is predicted to cover a rough circle of about 1,000 miles wide. We had reports from 160 miles south in Nuku'Alofa that yesterday they saw 50+ knots and gusts to 70 knots! We've had reports this morning from the folks that are on passage to New Zealand . Currently 33 boats are checking in to the Drifters Net - about half arriving to NZ in the next day or two. They have been on passage from either Tonga, Fiji or Vanuatu on their way to the North Island of New Zealand, many of them friends of ours. Only about 8 are in the danger zone, feeling the strong effects of this storm. Several that are as far away as 30 S and 178 E are currently hove-to and waiting for the 30 knot winds to subside and the 3-4 meter seas to calm down before trying to continue. One boat, 'Adventure Bound' left far too late (in our opinion) to outrun this storm. Yesterday he was running bare-poled with 40-50 knots and just barely hanging in there. His position was 25 S and 179 E. This morning we learned that there was another boat out in the shit with him. This boat called 'Windago', a Benataur 40 we think, was reported to have 'rolled' last night and the two people on board are currently in a liferaft. The RCC-NZ, the New Zealand Rescue Squad has sent an 'Orion' (what kind of plane is that?) out to patrol and has been circling their position all night. This morning we heard that 'Adventure Bound', even in the vulnerable position they are currently in, has been asked to turn around and make their way back 30 miles to try and effect a rescue, bringing the folks on the liferaft onboard. With the current seas, they are only making 2 mph and are not sure they will even make it today. So, 'Adventure Bound', instead of being the loose nut of the day will hopefully be the heros of the hour. It's all very dramatic. Another EPIRB signal has been received, an unregistered EPIRB, so they do not know who it is, but the position was recorded as 23S and 175W...approx. 130 miles south of Tongatapu the southernmost island of Tonga. New Zealand Rescue may send a Hercules aircraft to spot them (what kind of plane is that - does anybody know?). We are at the northern edge of the storm hunkering down in Neiafu Harbor with about 35 other boats. Yesterday it was quite calm in here but was very, very hot and humid. There was no doubting when the storm finally hit this area. We had Angelina and her daughter Natalie on board Buena Vista when it started to rain. They jumped into their dinghy and got back to their boat 'La Fiesta' just in time. Pretty quickly we had 25-30 knots from the north which later veered to the northwest. A terrific lightning and thunder storm passed directly overhead about 9pm with heavy rain as well. I heard the thunder just off to the west and saw a faint flash of light from inside the boat so I came up into the cockpit to take a look. Well, as soon as I got there a clap of thunder hit just over head. It was louder than heck and just a moment later lightning struck right on top of us. I screamed and jumped back inside the boat, quickly grabbing our computers and putting them in the oven. Ten seconds later there was another very loud thunderclap and more lightning at very close range but obviously now just east of us. It continued like that for twenty minutes as we watched and listened to that cell move quickly past us and away. For the next five or six hours there was a beautiful lighting storm off in the distance but from our point of view it was not bolts of lightning but the kind that seem to flash from all around, lighting up in silhouette the many dark clouds that were flying by. It wasn't the best night's sleep I've ever had but when we woke this morning it was a warm and sunny day. We do now have pretty strong wind from the west at 20 knots, sometimes gusting to 25. That means that the storm south of us is moving to the SE since our wind is slowly veering around the clock. Our mooring ball is close to the eastern shore of the harbor so now we're on mooring watch...if something should happen we'd have to bug out and motor across the harbor to get protection from the strong west winds.
All the best

We were not the only ones who 'went backwards' and sailed north back up to Neiafu's safe harbor for the upcoming storm. Including us, there are eight boats that I know of that came in from the Ha'apai Group and one catamaran that sailed up from Nuku'Alofa. Incredibly, Neiafu Harbor is full again - all the mooring balls are taken. And, strangely, with a big storm on it's way, it is totally calm in here right now. Winds are expected to start late tonight and should be blowing like stink tomorrow with lots of rain too. We just got a VHF call from 'Ladybug', the ones I was worried about, who we thought had decided to hunker down further south. After re-reviewing all the information they could, they also decided to sail back up here. Unfortunately, their trip up was a lot more boisterous than ours a few days ago because the seas and winds have been building for a few days. But - the important thing is that in a few hours they will be anchored at Nuka Island. It's right around the corner and they will be able to manage the storm alot easier from there - within the safety of Vava'u's outer islands which will provide alot more protection. Hey - Guess What! Today was the Melbourne Cup in Australia. The famous horse race held in Melbourne...duh...but I bet you didn't know that it's a holiday there, even schools are closed for the big event. Well, a restaurant here had a Melbourne Cup event which of course we attended. We wore crazy Aussie hats, mine had corks hanging all around the rim (used in old time Australia to keep the flies off your face). Anyway, we split a $50 bet with another couple and OUR HORSE WON...GREEN MOON from Ireland went off at 16-1 and in a field of 23 horses GREEN MOON crossed the line first. We took 60% of the entire pool of $1,800 so we split $1,080 for first place...DON AND I WON $540 ($540 pa'anga - which is about $300 US dollars). My throat is sore from screaming. Jim on Sockdolager bought a $10 ticket and by random choice it was also for GREEN MOON, and he won $90. We had an excellent meal and celebrated our luck and good fortune. Then, back to Buena Vista to prepare for the big blow which should start in a few hours.

It may be a bit of a surprise that the defending Conference USA Champions started the season 0-5, but that doesn't give UCF head coach George O'Leary any reason to take the Southern Miss Golden Eagles lightly in this weekend's contest.
The Knights' head coach said he is focusing the same amount of energy on this game as he does any other because every game is important.
"I have a great respect for Southern Miss and how they play the game," O'Leary said. "I think they're a contact football team and I think we've always had a great rivalry and respect for each other from that stand point. I anticipate a whale of a ball game Saturday night."
The Knights have had many close and exciting contests against the Golden Eagles and O'Leary expects to see much of the same when the lights come on in Bright House Networks Stadium on Saturday night. Last year's contest came down to the wire. The Knights went for the win on a 2-point conversion down by one, 30-29, and unfortunately came up short.
That memory is still etched in the Knights' minds. UCF would like nothing more than to earn its second Conference USA victory to close out a four game home stand.
"It's a team that you throw records out the window," O'Leary said. "What I see on film is they do a lot of things that can cause defensive problems or can cause your offense problems. I think they're well coached."
O'Leary is familiar with the new look Golden Eagles Coaching staff led by first year head coach Ellis Johnson. The two coached against each other more than 15 years ago when O'Leary was the head coach at Georgia Tech and Johnson was the defensive coordinator at Clemson.
"I think Ellis Johnson has done a good job with the squad he has," O'Leary said. "He has some young quarterbacks and he's trying to find the right mix. A lot of the names I see and the players I see on the field are a lot of the same ones from last year."
This will be the Knights' final battle with the Golden Eagles as a member of Conference USA. The last time UCF defeated Southern Miss was back in 2007, which was the first time the Knights won a Conference USA Championship. It was a 34-17 victory in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Then senior running back Kevin Smith ran for 175 yards and two touchdowns in the historic victory.
"I think they have the same respect for us as far as contact, speed and a tough line of scrimmage game," O'Leary said. "It's a team we've played good football [against]."

While the goofball stoner antics of "Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay" and the sheen of the new Kevin Spacey vehicle "21" might help raise the profile of the South by Southwest Film Festival, its soul comes from filmmakers operating out of sheer creative impulses. Many of the entries contain little in the way of mainstream temptations, lacking both star power and strong budgets. The resulting productions frequently come closer than their heftier brethren to constructing authentic human experiences.
Reactions to "21" were fairly mixed, but those who chose to check out "Humbolt County," one of the alternative opening night films, discovered a singularly enjoyable coming-of-age story. The movie, part of the Emerging Visions section, sports two of them: Dual directors Darren Grodsky and Danny Jacobs, whose insightful, warmly entertaining look at Peter (Jeremy Strong), a young medical student whose harsh father (Peter Bogdonavich) rejects his less-than-perfect professionalism. Lazily following a fleeting paramour to her family in the insular community of marijuana farmers that gives the film its title, Peter initially follows the moral inclinations he gets from his father and tries to leave.
When transportation issues force him to stick around, he gradually comes around, learning to appreciate the settled existence and whimsical philosophies of the tranquil setting. The bittersweet pull of "Humbolt County" owes much to the subtlety of this transition; rather than transforming into an all-out pothead by the finale, Peter gets inside the problem of a lackadaisical existence and emerges with a greater understanding of how to battle it. If the narrative rhythm weren't slightly upset by an unneeded tragedy near the end that distracts from the central thematic development, "Humbolt County" might be a classic--but it's almost there.
Although it retains a sense of smallness to its scope, "Humbolt County" is one of the largest productions at SXSW dealing with being young and confused, second only to "Explicit Ills," which would make a great companion piece on a double bill. The ambitious directorial debut of talented performer Mark Webber ("The Hottest State"), "Explicit Ills" follows a series of interlocking stories (the press notes tell me there are four, but it feels like a lot more) amid the untamed backdrop of urban Philadelphia. Asthmatic seven-year-old Babo (Francisco Burgos) deals with his poverty-riddled mother (Rosario Dawson) while absorbing the neighborhood grime.
Meanwhile, a spacey drug dealer (Lou Taylor Pucci) romances a sheltered art student (Frankie Shaw); a couple tries to stay together while running a grassroots agriculture business; their son (Ross K. Kim-McManus) tries to win a bodybuilding competition. A lot happens from the very beginning of "Explicit Ills," and occasionally it becomes difficult to unite all the disparate threads, but Webber employs a clean, energetic plot with consistent forward motion and a wealth of diverse actors (Paul Dano has a standout role playing a depressed pothead).
Jim Jarmusch produces, but you'll find no patient minimalism here: Webber is always ready to move to the next big development, and he builds to a powerful finish, brimming with fury and conviction. "Explicit Ills" was submitted to the Cannes Film Festival just a couple of days ago, and it would make a great entry in the Directors Fortnight, considering its epic scope.
Whereas "Explicit Ills" creates a massive representation of social concerns, some of the smaller youth-centric SXSW movies get cozy with tangled personal struggles of growing up. "Natural Causes," a Brooklyn-based production directed by brothers Alex and Paul Cannon along with Michael Lerman, boils down to an intensely detailed study of an ill-fated relationship, chronicling both the charm of seduction and the pain of extinguished lust. Its star-crossed leads (real life couple Jerzy Gwiazdowski and Leah Goldstein) commit to each other and gradually lose traction in this generally well-paced, containable account of Romance 101. Beautifully shot and authentically tapped into hipster cadences, "Natural Causes" has the breezy engagement value of a great short story -- until its stunningly dramatic finish, that is, which resonates as the credits roll.
The SXSW companion piece to "Natural Causes" might be "Up With Me," another ultra-low budget take on post-teen breakups and burgeoning adulthood. Directed by Greg Takoudes and starring minority residents of New York's East Harlem, it tracks the difficulties of Brandon (Brandon Thorpe) and Erika (Erika Rivera, who gave birth to her child with Thorpe the day after the festival premiere), whose relationship becomes problematic when Brandon heads upstate for school. His close confidantes think he's betraying them; she's just worried about the long distance relationship. The early sections of "Up With Me," filled with queasy shaky-cam shots and stream-of-consciousness dialogue, make it a tough viewing experience -- later, however, the characters' arcs expand and so does the nature of the production, with strong compositions and a credible trajectory. The filmmakers acknowledge the boundaries of the project, and it works best as a nuanced study of inner-city realism.
Hardly realistic despite its attempts to ape documentary form, the narrative feature "A Necessary Death" tracks the insensitive project of a California film geek intent on tracking a suicidal subject during his last few days. Directed by Daniel Stamm, "A Necessary Death" has a remarkably convincing cast of twentysomething college grads uncertain of their own artistic endeavors. The emerging fake doc genre -- radically distinct from the mockumentaries pioneered by Christopher Guest -- stormed Slamdance this year, and the slow developments of "A Necessary Death" might have lead to it getting buried there. At SXSW, it's an intriguingly unique premise with plenty of thoughtful dialogue on the nature of staying alive. I'm troubled by the incongruity of these sweet, seemingly harmless characters and the vile scheme they concoct, but "A Necessary Death" (which is produced by Brian Udovich, whose previous credits include the Jonathan Levine-directed films "The Wackness" and "All the Boys Love Mandy Lane") immerses you in its originality. The concept and resulting movie are easy to like as they are to deride, but that, one could argue, is the haunting paradox of the human condition.

A Monroe man says thieves made off with $900 while he took his family out for Thanksgiving dinner -- money he had planned to use to pay rent and buy his daughter Christmas gifts.
Ransey Taylor tells WSOC-TV that the money, stolen from a dresser drawer in his home, was all he had saved.
Taylor says he reported the burglary to police and received a kind gesture from the officer who came to investigate, however.
The officer, Sgt. Rhett Bolen, told the TV station he offered Taylor $20 to buy his 18-month-old daughter a couple of Christmas gifts.
Bolen says he was touched by the man's emotional response. He says he helped Taylor because he's fortunate and got into police work to help others.

PESWiki.com -- Pure Energy Systems Wiki: Finding and Facilitating the Best Exotic Free Energy Technologies
Directory:Exotic Free Energy Technologies for TV
From PESWiki
The following listing was prepared on Apr. 23, 2010 by Sterling D. Allan as an abridged version of Directory:Best Exotic Clean Energy Technologies for a couple of groups who are considering doing a TV series on free energy technologies, as well as for some others with development and business interest in the sector.
Will any of these technologies emerge this year? Who will arrive in the maket next year? How might they transform society?
If you have production skills or financial resources, you might consider getting involved in this TV initiative by Christopher Toussaint of Free Spirit Productions in Santa Monica, California; and John Rickey of Future News Network in Hawaii.
Sterling's Short List

- JET Energy is Developing Cold Fusion Technology - Having brought cold fusion through many generations of advancement, Mitchell Swartz' company is in process of developing the technology to the point that it could be commercialized. They made history in 2003 by running a large public demonstration for five consecutive days at MIT.
- These are the furthest along in the cold fusion quest that I know of.
- Featured: Electromagnetic / Solid State >
ERR Fluxgenerator by Noah's Ark Research Foundation - Inventor, James B. Schwartz of the Philippines, has come up with a device that allegedly puts out six kilowatts of electricity from the surroundings, using a solid state arrangement in a panel made from "left-handed material" -- Aluminum and Bismuth interwoven with coils -- tying into the Earth's frequencies. (PESWiki; Aug. 15, 2009)

- Featured: Papp engine / Plasma >
Plasma Expansion Motor Could Revolutionize Renewable Industry - Nobel (inert) gas engine patterned after the Papp Engine, would cost 1/3 what a comparable output engine would cost, while its fuel would cost a few dollars per month -- negligible; totally revolutionizing the renewable industry. Six test engines expected to be completed soon. (PESWiki; Dec. 26, 2008)
- This one could be the holy grail.
- Steorn Electromagnet Orbo - Irish company made a big splash a few years ago announcing they had a free energy technology that could change the energy landscape of the planet. They got a jury of scientists to review the technology, who said they were not convinced, but the company still maintains that they will yet be proving their claim. They have a group of scientists helping in the R&D. They are presently allowing third parties in for independent testing and licensing.
- Their recent solid state version is compelling.

I'd say your pregnant! :)posted 05/29/2013 by akgheart
Well, the least accurate test is supposed to be the urine one, while blood considered definite. At least that is what I thought. So if they said you are pregnant then you ARE. And unless you are irregular in your periods, you would have noticed that you aren't getting a regular menstrual period every week. The ABSOLUTE test is of course, and ultrasound. Congratulations on your new pregnancy!!!!!!!!posted 05/27/2013 by keilahrose

The Many Side Effects of Blood Pressure and Cholesterol Drugs
Uncontrolled hypertension is quite dangerous because it increases your risk for heart attack, stroke and premature death. But blood pressure drugs carry their own dangers and may actually shorten your lifespan, according to a University of Florida study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The authors write: "In this observational study, we have shown for the first time, to our knowledge, that decreasing systolic BP to lower than 130 mm Hg in patients with diabetes and CAD was not associated with further reduction in morbidity beyond that associated with systolic BP lower than 140 mm Hg, and, in fact, was associated with an increase in risk of all-cause mortality. More over, the increased mortality risk persisted over the long term."
Allow us to translate the medical lingo here. "Poor outcomes" mean a lousy quality of life due to the side effects of these drugs.
This can include:
- Chronic headaches
- Dizziness
- Shortness of breath
- Nagging cough
- Fatigue
- Constipation
- Frequent urination
- Weight gain
- Insomnia
- Depression
- Erectile dysfunction
And these aren't the worst that can happen. More serious complications include:
- Gout
- Elevated blood sugar (and even diabetes)
- Congestive heart failure
- Shortened longevity
- Sudden death
Some of the side effects that blood pressure drugs produce are a direct result of the action they encourage. Beta-blockers, for example, weaken the strength of the heartbeat to decrease blood pressure. In doing so, they can weaken it too much and cause heart failure.
Other side effects occur because of indirect consequences. For instance, diuretics (or any blood pressure drug containing hydrochlorothiazide) reduce the volume of fluid in the blood by encouraging frequent urination. But this also flushes away valuable vitamins, nutrients, and minerals such as potassium, which has an important role in regulating sodium and magnesium.
Suzy Cohen, a retired pharmacist and popular author of The 24-Hour Pharmacist (HarperCollins, 2007), calls anti-hypertensive drugs "vitamin and mineral muggers" because they rob your body of the nutrients it needs for proper functioning and optimal health.
One way to protect yourself is to make sure you're taking in more of the vitamins and minerals than are being "mugged" by these drugs. You can also replenish potassium by consuming more bananas, orange juice, figs, bran, apricots, raisins, squash, beans, baked potatoes with skins, watermelon, and spinach.
Foods rich in magnesium include dark chocolate (yum!), halibut, nuts, oatmeal and oat bran, pumpkin seeds, and artichokes. You also may choose to take a powdered magnesium supplement called Natural Calm (www.calmnatural.com) just before bedtime. Some people find it helps them sleep better, remain calmer during the day and regulates their bowels. (Too much magnesium produces a runny stool, but given the choice, it certainly beats constipation!)
Another reputable magnesium product is Magnesium Infusion (www.activationproducts.com/ magnesiuminfusion) or Dr. Norm Shealy's Magnesium Gel at www.normshealy.com. These do not go in your mouth; instead, you rub them on your skin. Your body absorbs only the amount it needs — and there are no loose stools to deal with. Since it is applied topically, you're able to get your magnesium level up to peak very quickly, even from a very low starting point.
Beta-blockers, another large class of blood pressure drugs, are known to decrease protective HDL cholesterol levels and increase fatty triglycerides.
Furthermore, for those with borderline or mild hypertension, reduction in blood pressure by medications alone has not been found to decrease the rate of coronary heart disease. This is contrary to what your doctor may tell you, since one of the primary goals in controlling hypertension is to reduce your risk of a heart attack or stroke.
Beta-blockers are high on our list of drugs to avoid for a lot of reasons. They contribute to fatigue. They slow down your metabolism. They can even trigger asthma attacks. And as if all that wasn't enough, one new study shows that they're practically useless, too.
These medications (which include Atenolol, Lopressor, Metoprolol) are designed to lower blood pressure. But after following 45,000 patients in NYU Langone Medical Center's data registry for 44 months, researchers have discovered that the drugs don't ward off heart attacks or stroke.
Among patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), 12.9% died of a heart attack or stroke despite being on beta-blockers. Those who didn't take the blood pressure meds died at a rate of 13.6%, not even one full percentage point of difference.
Of the patients taking beta-blockers due to CAD risk factors (like diabetes or high blood pressure), 14.2% suffered a negative outcome — as opposed to 12 percent among those not on the drugs. That's still only a 2.2% difference. We would not risk a bad hair day on a "success" rate like that — never mind our energy levels or waistlines.
Researchers did find a slight benefit among patients who had suffered a heart attack within the past year. But even so, it's clear that the majority of heart disease patients have no good reason to take beta-blockers.
So why are doctors still prescribing them?
One nutrient-mugging that may occur with beta blockers is the depletion of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). The main job of this naturally occurring substance is to help convert your food into adenosine-5'-triphosphate or more simply, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the life force that animates us.
The highest concentrations of CoQ10 are found in muscle cells, particularly the heart muscle. A randomized double-blind study published in the European Heart Journal (September, 2007) found that CoQ10 supplementation (100mg three times daily) improved blood flow to the heart by relaxing blood vessels in patients with coronary artery disease. Recent research also supports this heart-healthy benefit in diabetics.

Slimming Girdles for a Slimmer You
These days there is a huge focus on looking thin and some of the extremes that women will go to in order to achieve this are pretty unbelievable. Crash diets, weird workout routines, operations, and pills with ingredients we can barely announce are so often the methods that women use to look the way that they want to but there are easier solutions.
Not all of us necessarily have much weight to lose but rather problem areas that seem to worsen when you do. Others have areas where the fat just refuses to burn so you to have to find a different solution to use. Slimming girdles are an easy solution to such problems and you can get the look you want without having to spend a fortune or undergo surgery.
And garments such as these are not only effective for slimming the waist but for slimming other areas as well. Depending on the type of girdle you choose you can slim everything from you waist to your upper thighs instantly and with little work from you.
Slimming Girdles – Full Body Girdles
Some girdles will slim your body from your bust to your thighs and many women are amazed at what they can really do. A girdle of this style can do wonders for smoothing out the area in between but because of the type of material they do wonders for slimming the thighs too. In addition to making you look great without having to spend a fortune some girdles of this type will even provide certain support benefits as well.
Many women report, as the companies that make them do to, that certain garments support the spine which may result in better posture. Getting two benefits from one product is something that all of us would mind doing.
Slimming Girdles – Panty Girdles
Panty girdles are another great option and are a terrific remedy to stubborn belly fat that so many of us have trouble getting rid of. Many people can lose pounds and pounds from every other area of their bodies but may have particular difficulty losing the fat in their bellies.
Some individuals will go have the fat removed from their bodies with liposuction, others will do hundreds of crunches every week in an attempt to rid themselves of extra belly weight. A slimming girdle though is a much easier, and more instant, fix that anyone can use. Not everyone can afford expensive surgeries and diets and many people wouldn't even if they could. For much less a girdle can be used to get rid of those stubborn areas.
Slimming Girdles – Plus Size Girdles
Finally, these days they don't only make girdles for women looking to smooth everything out but women looking to lose actual inches too.

I think Kimbo Slice was involved in this somehow. it made front page news on several MMA websites…
In early 2010, Tyler Chanel Evans, a 19-year-old exotic dancer, took under her wing a pretty, homeless girl who said her name was Bieyanka. The girl had been standing for hours outside a convenience store with an overstuffed duffel bag. A few days later, the waif stole Evans's expired learner's permit and copied her social security number.
The samaritan stripper filed a police report, but nothing came of it.
Then Bieyanka ran wild, adopting Evans's identity and racking up criminal charges including possession of a stolen vehicle and grand larceny. The girl skipped court appearances, so Evans was arrested twice. Once she was even jailed for 13 hours.

The reason I'm still writing about Women of the Wall and the Kotel compromise (you can see last week's posts on this matter here and here) is because I truly think it's important and even dramatic. What Natan Sharansky proposed is going to change the status of progressive/egalitarian/ moderate/non-Orthodox – call it whatever name you want – Judaism in Israel. Since all sides essentially said that they support the deal, it should be only a matter of time until it's implemented. That is, if there are no new obstacles to prevent it and if the Israeli government is serious.
What are the possible obstacles to implementing the deal?
- Outside opposition: the plan is to build a new construction in the Kotel area. That's a sensitive area and one could envision a scenario in which Palestinian, Jordanian, or Saudi opposition to the presumed change in the status quo makes this whole thing much more complicated for the government.
- Opposition within the government: Sharansky has spoken to everybody, but when the deal is officially presented some players might change their minds, especially members of the Habait Hayehudi party. If rabbinical pressure is put on the heads of this party to ask for changes and amendments and oppose the deal as a package deal – it will not work.
- Opposition within Israel: Here I'm talking about the public, mainly about the Haredi community. See Nathan Jeffay's article for more detail about possible (in his view even probable) Haredi opposition to the plan. Haredis can disrupt the plan in many ways, and since they are not bound by ties to the coalition they can now do whatever they want.
- Progressive change of heart: I don't think this is going to happen unless changes are made to the plan as the leaders of Conservative and Reform movements understand it. If they see, though, that the government is dragging its feet, they might lose patience and decide that going back to court is the only way to make something truly happen. If they go to court, the deal is in danger.
- Netanyahu's possible reluctance: Talking to many of the people involved in this process one gets the impression that this is the big unknown of the Kotel compromise. Everyone is convinced that Sharansky was mediating in good faith; most think that while the deal is not ideal it is very good or at least satisfying under the circumstances; and very few believe Netanyahu will eventually go along with it.
Since the compromise is built around the expansion of the Kotel and the construction of a new "platform" that will serve as its southern section, it must take time to get to the actual implementation. A lot of the preparatory planning work is already done, but more work is needed, and the process can't be very short, even before we count the construction work. A lot could happen between the current planning phase and the point in which people can actually pray in the southern section. How can progressive supporters of the deal make sure that they are not deceived, that the government truly means it, and that they aren't paying with patience for a product that will never come to fruition?
There are answers, but they all begin with a simple acknowledgment: the leaders of the battle – both grassroots and established – are still very much in doubt as to the true intentions of Prime Minister Netanyahu. They don't trust him. They won't count on Sharansky's word, not even on Bibi's word – they want proof. Some of them call it "down payment", others are talking about a "seriousness fee". The idea is the same: while the government can't provide the ultimate arrangement instantly, there are things that can be done to demonstrate its seriousness and commitment. Three examples of such possible demonstrations:
- A ceremonial commitment: Netanyahu can arrange a ceremony in which he and the leading figures of the Kotel battle – heads of the Conservative and Reform movements in Israel and abroad, leading rabbis, Women of the Wall – come together at the site where the new platform will be built. He can wear a kippah and pray with the (women) rabbis that will be leading a short service. He can make a speech promising a new chapter in the relations between Jews of non-Orthodox convictions and official Israel. If Netanyahu is photographed near the Kotel with a woman wearing a talith, he means business.
- An interim arrangement: I don't think this one is very likely to happen, but it would have been nice if the government would let WOW pray for two hours a month near the Kotel until the new platform is built. Why? Because it will give WOW an even more tangible triumph (I think they are winning anyway); and because it will tell the Orthodox that if they don't play along with the Sharansky plan they'll have to live with an even worse situation (worse from their viewpoint); and because it will be tough on the government, thus showing that the government is serious and putting pressure on it to complete the construction in a timely fashion (to end the interim arrangement as soon as possible).
- An actual measure taken: One of the least discussed but still very significant changes that are part of the Sharansky plan, is the change in the way The Western Wall Heritage Foundation will be managed. Currently, it is to a large extent controlled by the Orthodox, but under the agreed compromise, the Foundation is going to be handled by a body in which Diaspora Jews and progressive Jews will have a much larger voice (there are two options for the exact way this will be done: the Jewish Agency handling of the Foundation is one of them). This part of the plan requires no construction and no building of platforms. So the government can just go ahead and do it – if it is serious about the new plan, that is.
Thus far, all parties involved were smart enough to accept the deal, but not all of them did it because they think it's wonderful or because they think it will be executed. Some of them just didn't want to be the naysayer and hope that the government can be trusted to botch it – saving them the trouble of being seen as trouble makers. One would hope that the dynamics of this process will make it harder for these participants to suddenly turn on their heels and oppose what they now say they support. Clearly, if this deal fails, the next move for Israeli progressives will be to head right back to court, and this time they will be armed with even more proof that the government doesn't have clean hands and isn't doing enough to find an acceptable solution to this unacceptable reality.

Coke-bottle parking brake
Work of the Devil? Note the bottle of Coke as the Devil's parking brake. You don't want that giant bike he built rolling down the Tourmalet when he's jumping up and down with his pitchfork cheering Tour de France riders! Photo: Lennard Zinn | www.VeloNews.com
Chris King staff commuters
The Cielos of the Chris King crew made the rainy commute to the show every day. Note the beer in the bottle carrier to soften the ride. Photo: Lennard Zinn | www.VeloNews.com
Reynolds carbon clinchers
Deep, fast, and clinched-on: Reynolds new aero carbon clinchers come in 58mm, 72mm and 90mm depths with aero shapes derived from the wind tunnel mated to the tires. The sharp point allows the DET (Dispersive Effect Termination) to work and reduce drag, while the CTg layup on the braking service combined with Reynold Cryo-Blue brake pads, dramatically reduces braking temperatures. Weights are 1580 grams/pair, 1680 grams/pair, and 1875 grams/pair, respectively; all have DT Swiss hubs. Photo: Lennard Zinn | www.VeloNews.com
Chris King R45
All Chris King hubs now are available with hybrid ceramic bearings. Also, going forward, all King hubs will have 11-speed freehub bodies (still with 45 points of engagement); simply put a spacer behind the cogset if you're running 10 or nine speeds. The R45 is now available down to 16 spoke holes. Photo: Lennard Zinn | www.VeloNews.com
Enve wheelsets
Enve for the King. In part due to the fact that both wheelsets have five-year warranties on the hubs and on the rims, Enve Smart System 3.4/Chris King R45 and DH wheelsets won the Eurobike awards for 2012 for best road wheel and best mountain bike wheel. Photo: Lennard Zinn | www.VeloNews.com
SKS S-Blade
Stiffening ribs under the SKS S-Blade fender keep it stiff over the rear tire with low weight. I still managed to put a twist in the tail of it in my bike box on the way home. Photo: Lennard Zinn | www.VeloNews.com
SKS S-Blade
The SKS S-Blade fender was a great benefit to the two buddies I rode with from the show to Lugano in southern Switzerland. We encountered much rain, and this was a worthwhile 115 grams added to the bike. It clamps securely around the seatpost with an adjustable cam lock, and it's hinged at the clamp to conform to the rear tire. Photo: Lennard Zinn | www.VeloNews.com
Selle San Marco Ass Saver
Saved my ass: Selle San Marco's Ass Savers were exactly that for me at Eurobike. Commuting in the rain on my bike 30-90 minutes each way, plus a three-day ride afterward were much better with this little fender. The short end slides under the saddle above the seatpost clamp; the hooks grab the rails, and the tip can be trimmed depending on length of the saddle. It weighs just 15 grams.

Fizik has redesigned its entire shoe line for 2013, both road and mountain. The $400 R1 weighs 230 grams and has a kangaroo-leather upper complementing its carbon sole. Photo: Lennard Zinn | www.VeloNews.com
Fizik R3
The Fizik R3 is dubbed "the race machine," because at 220 grams and $300, it's cheaper and lighter than the R1 top model. A mesh upper replaces the R1's kangaroo leather upper, and it has the same carbon sole as the R1. Photo: Lennard Zinn | www.VeloNews.com

Love Is The Answer
Released By: Ninja Tune
release description

He is the vocalist with the Pharaoh Sanders Quartet and is also the vocal director for the Los Angeles instituition, the Horace Tapscott Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra. Continuing on this remarkable career, on Love Is The Answer, Dwight worked with Carlos Niño of Ammon Contact for your listening pleasure). Nino enlisted the likes of SA-RA Creative Partners, Madlib, Daedelus, members of Platinum Pied Pipers, Jay Dee and more to provide the backing on which Dwight's message could be heard.
Dwight Trible's Love Is The Answer is a record of unique sounds that could only come from this inter-generational collaboration. From "Equipoise"where SA-RA revisit 80s synth funk and give it their signature loping twist, through "Freedom Dance" with its Stetsasonic-meets-Fela vibe, from the sheer oddness of Madlib's "Waves of Infinite Harmony", to the beautiful "Constellations," Love Is the Answer is a record which truly believes that "love is the answer" to the world's ills. And perhaps it is.
"Love Is the Answer" is a 2CD set, with disc 2containing instrumental versions of select songs on disc 1.
CD 1: Waves Of Infinite Harmony
CD 1: Rise
CD 2: Otherwordly

Part of what makes a profession a profession—and not just a job—is that a professional is, or should always be, trying to grow in their job knowledge and skills. For me, part of this growth process involves lots and lots of reading. The web has exploded the availability of professional reading for crime analysts.
A while back I posted on using Google Alerts to search the web for news stories that interest you. Tools like Google Alerts, RSS feeds and email lists can generate tons of articles that you need to read. For me, I find that my workflow is best if I segregate activities like professional reading to certain times of the workday. But it seems like new stuff to read comes at me all throughout the workday. How best to generate a reading list for later in an easy, non-intrusive manner?

For those who don't know, stank face is a reflexive facial expression from playing an instrument which resembles an expression of smelling something bad.
Asside: for a brief history lesson, the term "funk music" came from musicians making stank face, as in "you are all playing that funky (smelly) music".
I became aware of my reflex last year when my wife caught me making stank face while recording a clav track for a funk song.
Since then, I have been semi-aware of when I go to stank face, including when I play certain songs on Rocksmith.
My question is this: do you make stank face (as a reflex, and not just to create the illusion that you are into the music) and for which songs?
If you have a candid photo of your stank face, post it.

Re: Got to have IS for a 24-70/F2.8 (FF sensor)?
Ive got a Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 VC on my 5DMKIII. With this lens i can hand hold at 1/6th sec and get sharp shots. I dont do that a lot but its nice to have the chance to have both clean shot and large DOF (for close up shots).
I dont miss it on my primes but sometimes ill use my Tamron for low light shots, even though its slower, because for static objects i can get slower shutter speeds but sharper shots.
The high ISO's on the newer cameras are great but i still find its better to keep it as low as possible.
Depends on what you shoot though.

Why Diets Don't Work: Lose Weight the ADHD Way
Scientific studies demonstrate a link between ADHD and obesity. But that doesn't mean it can't be broken -- these tips will help you break the cycle of seeking stimulation, eating for the wrong reasons, and fighting frustration or low self-esteem.
The ADHD-Obesity Link
Medical research shows that obese individuals are five to ten times more likely to have ADHD than are members of the general population. The link between attention deficit and obesity is very real -- though not yet fully understood. Certainly impulsivity, poor planning, and high-intensity emotions don't help in the fight to lose weight, but there could be more at play here.

In an unprecedented move in Indias aviation sector, pilots of JetLite, the no-frills carrier owned by Jet Airways (which will soon cease to exist) have been told that their previous flying experience will not hold any value as and when they are absorbed into the parent airline.
The move has created a lot of anxiety and uncertainty among JetLite pilots regarding their future. Jet Airways chief executive-designate Cramer Ball is scheduled to meet with JetLites 230 pilots on September 9 and shed further light on the companys future plans.
Some pilots of the low cost-airline that Jet acquired from the Sahara Group in 2007 told FE on condition of anonymity that they may quit following the meeting, if the managements explanation doesnt satisfy them.
Indias third largest carrier by market share had said on August 13 that it will operate all flights under a single brand, Jet Airways, and the loss-making low cost carrier JetLite will cease to exist.
In an internal memo dated August 19, the companys human resources department intimated JetLites pilots that they would have to resign and from their employment at JetLite and apply for a job with Jet Airways afresh. A copy of the memo has been reviewed by FE.
When contacted, a Jet Airways spokesperson said that the pilots movement to Jet Airways will open career opportunities not only for a command upgrade but also for exposure to flying international routes and also movement to wide-body aircraft.
During October-December 2013, 50 pilots from JetLite were inducted laterally in Jet Airways for pilot in-charge and first officer vacancies based on operational requirements. This permanent movement of pilots was on a voluntary basis, the spokesperson said. He confirmed that Ball will be meeting JetLite pilots on September 9.
An aviation practice leader with an international consulting firm stated that the terms and conditions put in place by the airline to absorb JetLites pilots may be driven by cost considerations. He declined to be identified.
While their current salary would be protected, JetLite pilots are concerned about their future prospects at Jet following the memo, since their promotions and pay hikes are likely to get deferred due to the new structure.
The 9W career progression policy as applicable will apply, the memo said. Only flying hours logged on 9W aircraft shall be counted for the purpose of pilot movement within 9W for career progression. This shall include the hours logged

Question for you single speed riders.
All but one of the posts I've seen in the Fixed & Single Speed forum have to do with light weight high dollar bikes either converted to single speed or fixie, or are actual track bikes from a manufacturer. The one exception was a thread about coaster brakes.
Does a single speed mass marketed "Big Box" store $99 ~ $120 coaster brake beach cruiser count as a single speed for the purposes of this forum, or is the forum limited to the high dollar (forgive the terminology here, please) "Snob Appeal" bikes, and the cheap bikes are a C&V (if even there) subject only?
For what it is worth, I have several geared bikes, including a top of the line KHS "Montana Summit" (triple butted lugged steel frame) from 1989 in perfect condition, and a 2003 Giant Cypress DL, but my "go to first bike" is an old coaster brake Huffy "Key Largo" beach cruiser.
