Jaws 2
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water Hollywood made a butt load of money on the first one so here we go again. Much like that other Speilberg animal attack film series with a handful of sequels, while the first one was a classic the follow ups tend to range from "ok" to dookie.
This happens to be one of the just "ok" ones. While Chief Brody is back the films lack of other adult characters hinders this one. Quint and Hooper are sorely missed. Instead the film is populated with younger faces most notably Brody's son Michael and his friends. They feel like the same kinda generic non-descript camp counselor fodder in a Friday the 13th film. They should of have just thrown a hockey mask on the shark (I know I know this predates F13). Seriously I kept forgetting which one was Michael and which one was the Mayor's son since they all just shaggy haired white boys.
Brody's characterization in this might be the best thing this movie has going for it. He's a haunted man from the events of the first film and absolutely dead set on not letting this happen again much to the detriment of his job, family, and friends. Brody's gone a little shark crazy and many believe he's overreacting. Of course we know he's right.
This also though leads to one of the weirdest aspects of this film. Since none of the deaths can be obvious shark attacks since then Brody will be proven right, all the deaths are like tangentially related to the shark. It's like the shark is gaslighting Brody. There's one scene where a woman hilariously pours gasoline all over herself before exploding.
It's not terrible but often feels like a half hearted retread that can't hold a candle to the original. Its still better than 99.99% of SyFy original shark attack movies.
And while I'm not the first person to point this out its absolutely worth reiterating that THE MAYOR FROM JAWS IS STILL THE MAYOR IN JAWS 2!!!!! That asshole knew and didn't close down the beach. This is why it's crucial to always vote.

A little over a week ago, I passed my FAA Part 107 test. I now have a Remote Pilot Certificate! In other words, I'm now licensed to fly drones.
Here are a few interesting facts about drones:
1. In my first semester of Property Law at law school (my previous life was as a lawyer), I learned about the ad coelum doctrine. That's short for "Cuius est solum, eius est usque ad coelum et ad inferos," which translates roughly as "whoever's is the soil, it is theirs all the way to Heaven and all the way to Hell." This is the legal reason why your neighbor can't dig a tunnel under your house or extend his third-story over the top of your house. You own that wedge from the center of the earth all the way to infinity. Kinda. Actually, you just share that bundle of rights we call "property" with the Federal Aviation Administration and NASA. Inside your house, you can fly any aircraft you want between the floor and the ceiling without getting the government's permission. But that area above your roof–it's a different matter. It's not completely your property any more. It's what the government calls the National Airspace System. It is illegal for you to fly any aircraft in the airspace above your home (or anywhere else, for that matter) without getting permission from the FAA.
2. How do you get FAA permission to fly a drone? The FAA doesn't really talk about drones. It talks about "Unmanned Aircraft Systems" ("UAS"). What is a UAS? The term includes model aircraft, such as remote-controlled drones (quad-copters) and radio-controlled airplanes, which are used for hobby or recreational purposes. All drones weighing more than .55 pounds and less than 55 pounds must be registered. If you're a hobbyist, you can register as a "modeler," pay a $5 registration fee, and write your registration number on your drone. You can use the same registration number on all drones you fly, without paying any additional registration fees. If you fly a drone for any commercial purpose, however, you must obtain either a Section 333 grant of exemption (something that really doesn't apply to most of us) or a Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate, and you must register separately each drone that you fly and pay a separate $5 fee for each one.
3. Why is it important to follow the FAA rules? Because if you don't, you can be hit with a $27,500 civil penalty, a $250,000 criminal penalty, or even 3 years in jail for each time you fly a drone in violation of the rules. There's a recent case of a photographer who had been taking real estate photos for decades using helicopters. He switched to using drones, but he didn't get a Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. He never had an accident, and he never flew in a restricted area. All he did was make 65 unauthorized flights, take pretty photos, and sell them. The FAA found out and imposed a $1.9 million civil penalty. The FAA eventually agreed to reduce the penalty to $200,000. He will owe an additional $150,000 if he violates FAA regulations within the next year, and an additional $150,000 if he violates the settlement agreement. He also has to make 3 public service announcements in the next year. Yikes! He'll have to sell lots of photos to pay for that.
4. Four months ago, the FAA announced that there are more than 1 million drone users in the US. Of that number, 878,000 are hobbyists and 122,000 are commercial and other users. The FAA has predicted there will be more than 7 million drones flying over the US in another year-and-a-half.
5. DJI, a Chinese company, manufactures 78% of all drones used commercially in the US. In fact, DJI drones outnumber every other type of aircraft in service in the US today.
Okay, so what?
Same-old/same-old photographs are frequently boring. Good photographers are always looking for a fresh way of looking at what they're photographing. Some portrait photographers will lie on the ground for a different viewpoint. Others will climb on ladders to make overhead shots. Ansel Adams frequently climbed on the roof of his station wagon to get a fresh perspective on a landscape. Drones are merely another way for a photographer to make an image in a way that nobody has ever done before.
I know that there are probably a lot of unlicensed photographers who sell photos they've taken with their unregistered drones, and I realize that the chances of ever getting caught are slim. However, I didn't want the risk of having my photography business slapped with multiple $27,500 civil penalties. You might be willing to take the risk.
So, I decided to go through the licensing process and get a Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. Here are the steps that I went through:
First, I called Computer Assisted Testing Service, Inc. and paid a $150 fee over the phone to register to take the FAA Airman Knowledge Testing Exam at a flying school in Addison, Texas.
Next, I prepared for the exam by attending a one-day class with Robert and Kathy Norwood. Robert is a commercial airline pilot and both he and Kathy are professional photographers. The class made for a very long day, but it was definitely worth it. That night, I reviewed what we had studied in class using an app on my iPad called Remote Pilot, by Prepware.
The next day, I went to my assigned test date at American Flyers School in Addison. I was told that I could not enter the test room with notes, a cell phone, smart watch, or other smart device. I was given 3 pieces of paper, a hand calculator, a pencil, and a test book with charts. I was allowed to bring my own magnifying glass, which was absolutely essential. I was seated at a computer terminal and given two hours to complete the test. I don't think anyone used more than an hour. In fact, the testing center was scheduling tests only one hour apart, although they would allow anyone who needed it the full two hours. I could have finished in 45 minutes, but I took extra time answering the questions that needed a magnifying glass, so I think I finished in about 55 minutes. After the test was over, I was required to return the 3 pieces of paper, calculator, book, and pencil to the testing authority.
There were 60 multiple-choice questions on the test. Approximately half involved regulations, a couple required reading and interpreting weather reports, one or two were questions about wing stresses on airplanes (which has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with flying a drone!!!), and the rest involved reading and interpreting airport approach charts. A 70% grade on the test was required to pass. Everybody who took the class taught by Robert and Kathy Norwood passed the test. I made a 92. I suspect several others did even better.
So what did I learn from the test-taking process? Four things: (1) It's a real advantage to be able to take a course under people as knowledgeable as Robert and Kathy Norwood. (2) The Remote Pilot app recommended by Robert is an excellent review tool. (3) If you take a course like the one I took, be sure and take the test the next day while the material is still fresh in your mind. (4) Did I mention that you should take a magnifying glass with you to the test?
If you decide to get your Remote Pilot Certificate, I wish you well. Hope you have clear skies!

Letter of the Day | Three easy things for Government
THE EDITOR, Sir:
When the Government announced the lifting of the ban on women wearing sleeveless garments into government offices, there was not a single voice of demurral in Jamaica. This shows that there are things that are easy to do in our country, particularly when those things are a carryover from the inglorious past.
It is not inappropriate for a woman to enter government building in a sleeveless garment. Moreover, which sane person could insist on banning women from wearing sleeveless garments in a country where the average temperature is well over 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Buoyed by that success, the Government might wish to consider doing three more easy things that are also a relic of that inglorious past. These measures, I suggest, would win the support of every Jamaican.
First, the nomenclature, 'Throne Speech', should be replaced by 'The Marcus Garvey Policy Statement'. Marcus Garvey is the greatest policy craftsman produced by our great country. By this change, we honour Jamaica's first national hero.
Second, the designation 'Queen's Counsel' should be replaced by 'Norman Manley Distinguished Counsel (NMDC)'. Norman Manley is indubitably the greatest lawyer produced by our great country. By this change, we honour another national hero.
Third, Lady Musgrave Road should be renamed 'George Stiebel Road', if the popular story about the origin of the name is verified as a historical fact. It is said that Lady Musgrave, the wife of Governor Musgrave (1877-1883), so resented the fact that in going to downtown Kingston from the Governor's House, her carriage had to pass the splendid mansion, now known as Devon House, but then, owned by George Stiebel, the first black Jamaican millionaire.
The road, now Lady Musgrave Road, was, therefore, built to bypass Mr Stiebel's grand mansion. If this story is true, the road should be renamed for George Stiebel, an industrious black Jamaican who had made his fortune in Venezuela. Why should Lady Musgrave's racism be celebrated in Jamaica with a road named after her?
But there is another story to rival the popular one. It is of more recent origin. The story is that the governor, suspecting that his lady had taken a fancy to Mr Stiebel, took the precautionary measure of having a new road built so that her carriage would not have to pass Mr Stiebel's house. I do not credit this story, but I will not say why. In any event we should ask our historians to provide us with the true origin of the name Lady Musgrave Road.

Benoit Charpentier: Co-Founder and Director, MeilleursHonoraires.com
#BakersDozen is a series of interviews with leading professionals in the fields of law, consulting, finance, tech, and more.
Tell us a bit about yourself and how you came to be in (or a customer of) the legal business?
My name is Benoit Charpentier. I am 35 years old. I was a practicing lawyer for 5 years. I also worked as an in-house lawyer for 5 years. I gained my professional experience mainly in the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg.
What do you do for a living right now?
I am co-founder and MD of MeilleursHonoraires.com, a web platform that allows any user (natural or legal person) to select a lawyer through a tender procedure. This "app-as-a-service" has been designed to facilitate the access to lawyers. We launched our Web Application back in December 2016. Our panel is open to lawyers practicing in France, Belgium and Luxembourg. Our users are French speaking citizens residing in the EU.
The business model? The service is completely free for lawyers. The receipt of all anonymized service offers is free. Only if the user wishes to select a service offer, a broker commission of 20 € (VAT excluded) is requested. The contact details of the selected lawyer are then transmitted to the user.
What has been your greatest triumph and your greatest success in the legal services field and what did you learn from each?
The development of www.MeilleursHonoraires.com is certainly the greatest achievement of my professional career. It took us (my co-founder Astrid Lesguillons-Charpentier – who happens to be my spouse as well – and I) 2 years to develop and implement an expert solution that is easy-to-use and fully complies with the ethics of the legal profession. I learned that implementing a complex project is like a slow decanting process. Ideas re-arrange themselves with the time and one might end-up with a completely different project than the one originally anticipated.

Skillet Couscous with Fish & Herbs
Cook Israeli couscous in sautéed green onions, garlic, broth, sun-dried tomatoes, and parsley. Add seasoned fish to the skillet, and bake until flaky.
Beef with Snow Peas
This recipe moves really fast, so read the recipe in advance and have your ingredients ready. Keeping an eye on the timer and following Ree's directions results in mouth-watering, perfectly cooked thin slices of beef.
This is so good, your coworkers will be jealous when you take leftovers for lunch.
Shrimp & Grits with Roasted Red Bell Pepper
In 2006 I vacationed with my cousin Laure at her condo on the beach, where we made this dish. Garlic, green onions, and fresh thyme are sautéed in butter and then simmered with the grits, chicken broth, and a bit of heavy cream. Roasted bell peppers, feta cheese, and shrimp finish the dish. That day we used Royal Reds, a deep-water variety of shrimp found in the Gulf.
Pork Tenderloin with Ginger-Soy Sauce
Slice and sauté pork tenderlion, and then serve it with a warm pan sauce for an easy weeknight meal.
Leesa's Thai Spicy Noodles
This is one of my favorite recipes, one that I used to make often for family and friends. Rice noodles, lime juice, ground peanuts, and fish sauce are a delicious combination. I typically omit the bean sprouts. And yes, you really use a whole tablespoon of red pepper flakes. Trust me.
Jeff's Salsa
This fresh salsa relies on serrano peppers to bring the heat.

In my last post, I wrote about Oklahoma's low per pupil spending rate when compared to other states and argued against the old conservative claim that the state's low cost of living means schools here are actually funded adequately.
Another conservative argument, especially in relation to the recent and no doubt future tax-cut proposals, is that we, in the words of Gov. Mary Fallin, need to "right-size government." The claim assumes that state government here is bloated, a common conservative complaint, which is not based on empirical evidence.
The anti-government rhetoric here is more often than not met with stoic silence by state workers, many of whom are paid low salaries and do some of society's most challenging jobs, such as guarding prison inmates or helping abused children.
But the "right-size" mantra is political sloganeering. The reality is that Oklahoma government has shrunk considerably in recent years, calling into question whether the state can offer adequate services and function effectively.
In a recent blog post, David Blatt, director of the Oklahoma Policy Institute, a Tulsa-based think tank, shows that the number of state workers has dropped from fiscal year 2009 by 3,804 or 9.8 percent. Going back even more years, the number of state workers has dropped by 1,633 or 4.4 percent since 2001 while the state's population has grown by 330,000, Blatt points out.
The question becomes whether the decline in state workers given our population growth is threatening vital services. As Blatt writes:
. . . overall, the sharp drop in state employment shows the deep strains created by the state fiscal crisis of recent years. With positions being eliminated and vacancies remaining unfilled, fewer state employees are left to shoulder greater responsibilities. This can have serious consequences for the Oklahomans whose safety, health and welfare it is the mission of public employees to promote and protect.
Blatt's research speaks for itself, and I encourage everyone to read his post, but I want to address the issue from a more personal standpoint.
I'm friends with a number of state workers, who continue to do their jobs with professionalism and integrity despite knowing that any type of substantial raise or benefit increase is unlikely for them in the immediate future. For some of them, even the most cynical, it's because they have been called in some way to help the less fortunate people in our culture or have dedicated their lives to service.
Many of these state workers have demanding jobs and their terms and conditions of employment are now controlled by people openly hostile to even the concept of government or at least dedicated to cutting government at whatever cost. That this creates a morale problem for state workers is a given, but an even deeper issue is whether the quality of life here, despite political cheerleading, is actually in a serious decline.
Fewer state workers and fewer teachers as the population grows substantially and school enrollment goes up means that eventually something has to give. The idea that the state can somehow prosper in this environment is only wishful thinking or a political campaign trope. Let me be clear: Overall, the state needs more state workers and more teachers, and they should be paid adequately, provided with decent benefits and given regular raises.

Notes from Wee Make Music
Di Farmer Visits Wee Make Music
Was a treat to have Di Farmer call in to our Bulimba classroom. She is very supportive of small business in the local area and she was very encouraging and enthusiastic about sharing what we have to offer. I think we even taught her a little about beat and pitch...
Your Child Is Watching
As parents and carers we learn very quickly that you can't hide anything from a toddler's attention. They don't miss a thing! It proves that they are constantly switched on…ready to go…they are always listening.
How Early Childhood Music Classes Prepare Your Child For School
Sound early childhood music programs are holistic learning experiences. They offer foundational level musical elements (to prepare the child for future musical pursuits) but in presenting these in an effective learning environment, provide for the general development of the baby, toddler or young child.
Getting Ready for Prep
The first five years of a child's life are critical to their development. They learn more proportionately in this time than any other time in their life. This is the foundation period that shapes the child's future heath, happiness, growth, development, learning achievement including structured learning (school), learning for family and community life and future life in general.
Music for Prep
As far as activities or bubs and young children we are spoilt for choice in Brisbane. There is such a fabulous variety on offer across all parts of the city. It comes down to making choices – but how?
The BIG Step to Prep
While many of us are counting down to the last drop off of the year, those with children starting school next year are experiencing varied emotions. It is both an exciting and daunting time for parents and children, and well worth reflecting on how to best prepare.

Creativity in SEO also incorporates enhancing and adding freshness to the website design for improving factors associated with usability and accessibility, while maintaining consistency, related to brand image and brand personality. The basic concentrate of the creative SEO is to constantly enhance the visual and intuitive elements that keep the marketing communication constant. Even SEO masters face difficulties. They are to create new/improved keywords and test the various techniques of content generation. They need to do that while producing informative, good quality, yet website-focused content. Do you know Why is SEO so Lucrative?. If no, then read this post till the end.
These types of creative thoughts blend with scientific skills to improve experiments. The creative aspect of SEO involves the artistic strategy to chart new ways in which backlink, content generation, social media, and the design factor can improve and become more targeted towards a common purpose.
The creative aspect devises new ways. The scientific tools test with algorithms for desired listings and improved audience engagement.
The Perfect Combination
The dual nature of SEO can be well understood by SEO experts who are familiar with the techniques used to analyze websites. Choosing the perfect keyword is as crucial as optimizing the website on that keyword. Businesses who seek to manage the dual aspect individually may take longer than the expected time. Properly analyzing the website and falsifying effective strategies to get to the most notable listing in Google can be done by professional experts in a much better way.

My Tuesday nights are no longer spent running, they are now back in a College classroom studying. Something I never thought I would want to do. Someone at work recommended a course at a local college, called an Introduction to Mental Health. So far its fascinating, the mix of people studying and their reasons for wanting to be there, as well as the course itself.
From the definition of mental health and the stigma related to the phrase itself, to the history so far. In my head mental health sounds a lot more positive than mental illness. Health seems to indicate wellbeing, whilst illness a disease and fear. I am still a firm believer in suffering from a mental illness or poor mental health, is as a result of being resilient for too long. So often we are taught to take care of ourselves physically, but not emotionally.
One of the case studies we looked at was the asylums that existed in the 1900s. Including, how treatment and understanding is vastly different to what it is today. Watching the BBC documentary sent shivers down my spine, particularly for the use of drugs with such little knowledge of the long term effects.

Kingdom Tower megastructure plans revealed
A company backed by the Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal will build the world's tallest skyscraper in Jeddah as a "mega structure" building boom returns to the Middle East.
Kingdom Holding secured a $1.2 billion (£737 million) deal with the Saudi BinLadin Group to build "Kingdom Tower" – a more than 1,000-metre (3,280ft) skyscraper close to the Red Sea in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia's second largest city.
At more than a kilometre tall, it will replace the Burj Khalifa, which is at least 172 metres smaller, as the world's tallest building and will be more than 500 metres taller than the Willis Tower in Chicago and "The Shard" in London.
Jeddah Economic Corporation, part of the Kingdom Group and responsible for the development, said that the skyscraper was inspired by the "folded fronds of a young desert plant".
Kingdom Tower, designed by a Chicago architect AS&GG, will house a Four Seasons hotel and apartments, condominiums, offices and the world's highest observation deck.
It was conceived around 2007 as the first phase of a $20 billion urban development, Kingdom City, which marks the gateway to the holy city of Mecca.

The esteemed medical personage Dr. H.R. Frillweed of Dropsy Lane, Wainscott, reports that he was on Thursday night awoken from his sleep by loud pounding upon his chamber doors. He was astonished to find without "a runtish, dirty boy, no more than 6 years old, clad in rags, gasping for breath" who bade him come quickly to the Wainscott Workhouse, as an inmate at that grim location had become dangerously ill.
Frillweed demanded of the child to explain why Master Finn Razorwire, Warden of the Workhouse, had not himself come to request assistance, and was told that Master Razorwire was "overcome with drink and could not be roused." Hastily gathering his bloodletting equipment, Frillweed accompanied the young messenger back to the Workhouse, and there found a scene of squalor. Locating the sick child, little Charlie Tipp of Sag Harbor, who had been delivered to the workhouse by his parents in response to his "insolence and sloth," Frillweed was dubious of the usefulness of medical science in improving the poor boy's condition. Nevertheless, he bled the patient copiously and hoped for the best.

What is a Cardiac Diet?
Many people with cardiac problems, or a predisposition to them, need to follow some type of cardiac diet to treat or prevent cardiovascular disease. Typically, this medical diet consists of heart-healthy foods such as whole grains, fiber, fruits and vegetables. Cardiac diets usually are created by dietitians, and they prohibit harmful foods, including different types of fat, sodium, cholesterol and sometimes caffeine. In the United States, they often follow the basic guidelines of the National Cholesterol Education Program.
Some people utilize this diet to improve overall health and promote weight loss. A typical heart-healthy breakfast includes some form of whole grains and fiber, such as low-sugar cereal or oatmeal and fruit. Lunch might consist of a grilled chicken breast sandwich on whole-wheat bread with carrot sticks on the side. Snacks throughout the day usually consist of fruits such as apples or grapes. A dinner example might be a piece of grilled fish, grilled or steamed vegetables such as asparagus or broccoli and small side salad with lime juice as the salad dressing.
One of the main features of a cardiac diet is eliminating unhealthy fat from meals, including saturated fat, monounsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats and trans fats. Saturated fats are known to contribute to high cholesterol and triglycerides, which typically cause plaque buildup on blood vessel walls and make it more difficult for the heart to pump blood. Trans fats can increase low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and decrease high-density lipoproteins (HDL), and they often are found in processed foods. Typically, the diet will cut out the consumption of bacon, luncheon meats, cheese, high-fat milk, high-fat red meat and many bakery products, such as donuts.
Many doctors and dietitians believe that sodium should be restricted to 2,000 mg to 4,000 mg per day on a cardiac diet. Sodium has a natural tendency to increase blood pressure and can have a negative diuretic effect when consumed with medicine. A heart-healthy diet usually will restrict salty snack foods and table salt. Some people think that any foods with more than 140 mg of sodium should be avoided indefinitely.
Restricting foods with high cholesterol is another feature of a typical cardiac diet. This type of food can include butter, red meat, high-fat dairy products and egg yolks. Too much bad cholesterol (LDL) can contribute to fatty deposits in the blood vessels, which can cause a heart attack. Cardiac diets usually suggest that a person consume no more than 200 mg of cholesterol per day.
Caffeine intake on many cardiac diets is restricted to less than two caffeine-containing items per day. It is a stimulant and can increase one's heart rate, which puts many people with cardiovascular issues at risk of a heart attack. A person on this diet might consider drinking green tea in place of other caffeinated beverages.

I had been having issues for 12 years. I've been getting dizzy, and had heart palpitations and shortness of breath. In that time, I had had three stress tests and all were normal. I had one breathing treatment, a colonoscopy and an endoscopy because the doctor in the chest pain ward figured I had aggravated my vagus nerve.
My family doctor put me on meclozine for the dizziness. Come on. A drug for motion sickness? I was even sent to an ENT for a balance test and was told I had lost 27 percent of the low tones in my right ear, but my brain would make up for it -- when? I had my fourth stress test here in March 2014. My wife took me to the ER because I was having trouble catching my breath.
This time, they had to do an angiogram and place a stent in one of my arteries since it was 90 percent blocked and I have others that are 40 percent blocked. I am still short of breath but am not dizzy anymore.
I had been having chest pains off and on for about three days. I suffer from daily heart palpitations but the chest pains were new so I thought I might be having a heart attack - especially knowing I have high "bad" cholesterol. Better safe than sorry, so I went to the ER. While I didn't have a heart attack, they kept me over night for monitoring and to do some other blood tests.
Upon release, I was gifted with print-outs full of information for a cardiac and low sodium diet but no meal plans, naturally. Finding pre-planned meals for a cardiac diet on-line does prove difficult but I finally found some online.
In order to determine what we can use in our meal plans, it really comes down to reading labels on the food we buy. Although one would think so, you don't have to become a complete vegetarian to eat better and stay healthier, but you do have to commit to avoiding some of those things that are really bad for you - those food you really love - my downfall is chocolate ice cream and Hostess "Ding Dong" brand chocolate cake snacks. I think it would be safe to say that while on a cardiac diet, it wouldn't be a big deal to have just a little of it 1 percent of the time but the other 99 percent of the time you have to avoid it. You have to learn to find a substitute that you can enjoy the rest of the time while you're thinking about that chocolate. It's hard, I know.
That's where I am: learning to stick with it. On top of that, I have to quit smoking. It's a very bad habit and while I've gone cold turkey twice in my life, I only recently started smoking again in late 2013 due to some very stressful family issues that were going on. I'm still in that situation but have implemented using meditation and yoga when I'm feeling really bad and as long as I'm keeping myself busy, I don't think about cigarettes as much and I've already cut down to about five a day.
I will continue researching the web for cardiac meal plans - I know they exist somewhere. If I find nothing, then I will have to use my own creativity and knowledge to make one that benefits me. Good luck everyone.
Can anybody give me some good recipes for the cardiac diet listed above? My father has just been diagnosed with heart disease, and we're trying to help him transition into a healthier diet.
Of course, every time I search for cardiac or heart diet, I end up with the cardiac three day diet or the cardiac soup diet, so I'm hoping for a little better luck here.
Do you guys have any good recipes? He won't eat tofu or anything like that, by the way, so you can save those. Just, maybe lower cholesterol versions of typical foods would be nice.
Thanks so much!
This actually sounds like a good diet! I was thinking that it was something like the three day cardiac diet, which is really pretty extreme.
I've never really gone in for fad diets anyway, but that one seems particularly crazy to me -- you really basically barely eat for three days.
Call me crazy but I'm not exactly sure how that helps your heart...of course, I've heard that there's a cardiac diet based on soup too, which might be a little more healthy, but still, I think that I'll stick with my normal, healthy diet/exercise plan. Then maybe I won't need a cardiac diet (of any kind) when I'm older!
Thanks for this article -- my doctor recently told me that I'm at risk for cardiac disease because of my diet, and that I'm going to have to start following a cardiac diet plan at least three days out of the week.
I've looked at a bunch of different sites, but all I seem to find are those fad diets, like the 3 day cardiac diet, which just isn't what I need. This article was really really helpful, and actually provided information rather than a sales pitch.
Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Among the short films selected to screen during the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, is one from a local filmmaker: writer-director Jesus "Chin" Beltran's debut, The Grass Grows Green. The Sundance Web site says of the movie only this: "A Marine's complicated relationship with life and death, from behind the recruiting office desk." So we'll rely on a press release we received last night to fill in the blanks; it's after the jump.
But make no mistake: This is a most impressive feat, for any first-timer or veteran. The Fort Worth-based Beltran's movie is among 71 shorts screening at the fest; there are directors from 19 countries joining him in Utah next month. And The Grass Grows Green was among 4,445 submissions; them's some long odds. And if you can't make the fest, fret not: As it's done in previous years, from January 18 to April 18 Sunance will screen the shorts, gratis, at www.sundance.org after they've premiered at the fest. And, of course, it will be eligible for the Short Film Jury prize in American and International Short Filmmaking given to movies under 30 minutes in length. --Robert Wilonsky
"The Grass Grows Green" selected for 2007 Sundance Film Festival
First-time writer/director native of North Texas
Mountain View, CA — Zumpango Films announced the selection of "The Grass Grows Green" to the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. A debut for writer/director Jesus "Chin" Beltran and his newly formed production company, Zumpango Films, "The Grass Grows Green" is one of 80 short films selected out of 4500 submissions for competition in the 2007 Shorts Program.
"I was definitely aiming for Sundance, but to actually make it in is insane. It's hard to describe how I feel without a few choice expletives really." says Beltran. "I'm thrilled to screen this film with other Sundance filmmakers and I hope it gets an audience all over the world. It's a neighborhood tale that reaches beyond borders."
"The Grass Grows Green" is the first Suandance selection for Beltran, but lead actor and Kansas City resident Santiago Vasquez and Director of Photography Aaron Platt have enjoyed success at the acclaimed film festival in previous years. The Sundance Film Festival is scheduled for the end of January 2007.
About "The Grass Grows Green"
Marine Corps Drill Instructor: What makes the grass grow green!?!
Marine Corps Recruits: BLOOD! BLOOD! BLOOD!
"The Grass Grows Green" explores the often-forgotten reality that each life sacrificed in war is more than just a number.
The film opens in a working-class section of FORT WORTH, TX. STAFF SERGEANT LOBOS (Santiago Vasquez), a Marine recruiter with an unshakable sense of honor, awakens to the news that one of his recruits has died in IRAQ. For the first time, Lobos begins to question his life as a recruiter. Wracked with guilt and mourning the loss of a young man he thought he'd saved from the familiar violence of the "hood," Lobos attempts to clear his head as he follows his daily routine. But a seven-mile run and pushing papers at the office do nothing to purge his mind of the specter of the dead recruit.
As the day ticks slowly by, his coworker, STAFF SERGEANT WORTHY (Anthony Neil Moss), pressures Lobos to seal the deal on another young recruit. Confronted with conflicting meanings of honor and duty - to country, family, and self - will Lobos be broken by his awakened conscience or does he have what it takes to be "one of the few?"
About the Writer/Director — Jesus "Chin" Beltran
Writer/Director Jesus "Chin" Beltran, a native of Fort Worth, Texas, debuts his first independent short film at Sundance Film Festival, January 18 — 28, 2007 in Park City, Utah. The Stanford '00 graduate currently lives in the Silicon Valley and is a mechanical engineer for one of the leading computer manufacturers in the world.
Inspired by the domestic impact of the war in Iraq, in early 2006, Beltran decided it was time to turn his long-term pipe dream of writing and directing films into a reality. Drawing from his own observations of life in a Mexican-American working class neighborhood and his brother's experiences as a U.S. Marine, Beltran wrote the first drafts of "The Grass Grows Green" during long red-eye flights as he traveled the world for his day job. With an inspired original screenplay in hand and an engineer's eye for detail, Beltran assembled a gifted and skilled cast and crew, took a leave of absence from the real world and didn't look back.
Filmed on location in Fort Worth in July 2006, "The Grass Grows Green" is the first-time Director's vision-turned-reality and his proudest accomplishment to date.

97 years go by in a flash
An afternoon lasts an eternity
Riksteatern presents
By Inspector Sands
97 years go by in a flash.
An afternoon lasts an eternity
In a care home lounge somewhere off the A1, 97 year old Sigrid Duncker's begins the last day of her life. But she cannot go quietly. As the radiators burn and Jeremy Kyle blares, rivalries, relatives and murderous impulses jostle for space on the Axminster carpet.
By teatime, a riot is brewing.
The award-winning Inspector Sands (A High Street Odyssey, If That's All There Is, Hysteria) shine a spotlight on how we cope, or fail to cope, with growing old.
Following on from the success of 'The Lounge' in Edinburgh and at The Soho Theatre in 2015/16, Inspector Sands have been commissioned by Riksteatern to develop a cultural adaption of the show by the original creative team with a Swedish cast.
Riksteatern is the National Touring Theatre in Sweden and will tour the show to venues across the country throughout 2019. The cultural adaption will see both companies work in a new way to translate and adapt the text so it becomes culturally relevant to audiences in Sweden. Inspector Sands will work with Riksteatern to recreate some of the development process involved in creating The Lounge, including working with local medical experts, care homes and care workers.

Loved ones of Gilgo victims thank police
Suffolk police ended a fifth day of looking for Shannan Gilbert in the marshes of Oak Beach Monday without success but planned to return Tuesday.
As the search goes on, relatives of Gilgo Beach serial murder victims scheduled a candlelight vigil Tuesday to mark the first anniversary of the discovery of the first four sets of remains. That find occurred during a fruitless search last December for Gilbert.
Family members from Maine and Connecticut arrived near the Oak Beach search site Monday morning and thanked Suffolk police for their efforts.
Lorraine Waterman Ela, mother of Megan Waterman, and Melissa Cann, sister of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, walked to the entrance of the Oak Beach community where officers are searching for Gilbert.
Gilbert's disappearance has not been linked to the 10 sets of human remains found to date, who are thought to be victims of a serial killer. Police say they believe Gilbert, who worked as a prostitute, died accidentally after fleeing a house where she met with a client.
"They have a hard investigation and they are the ones trying to catch the person that killed our family members and I really appreciate it," Cann told a Suffolk police officer. "Don't ever feel like our families don't appreciate it."
"We just want to thank them for everything they've done," said Waterman Ela, who lives in Maine.
Later, she added, "I hope to get the word out -- whoever knows what happened to please come forward before this man hurts somebody else."
Vigil planned
The families are planning a vigil Tuesday from 2 to 5 p.m. near the site where the bodies were found. A benefit fundraiser is scheduled for 6 p.m. at Behind Bars, on Merrick Road in Wantagh, to raise money to help the families defray the costs of traveling to Long Island as they follow the investigation.
Waterman Ela, 44, and Cann, 27, said that at the vigil they will represent the families of the first four women whose bodies were found a year ago along Ocean Parkway.
Cann said she came from Connecticut with her husband and two youngest children. The family arrived Sunday and visited the sites where the bodies of Barnes, Waterman, Amber Costello and Melissa Barthelemy were found on Dec. 11 and 13, 2010.
She said the reality of her sister's death sets in every time she returns to the area. "All the emotions come back and it hits you like a ton of bricks," said Cann, adding that the family sold a television set so that they'd have enough money to travel.
She said she's aware of the comments made by some criticizing the victims, who worked as prostitutes.
"It really shouldn't matter," she said. "They were human beings. They had families."
Search resumes
The relatives' visit Monday came as Suffolk police resumed their search for Gilbert, 24, of Jersey City.
Last week, searchers found Gilbert's pocketbook and what they believe are Gilbert's jeans, cellphone, lip gloss and shoes.
Crime scene investigators Monday used metal detectors in the marshy area, while workers used weed trimmers to clear the terrain.
Investigators believe Gilbert may have run wildly into the marshy area in the dark and drowned, according to Chief of Detectives Dominick Varrone.
They believe she may have ended up in a drainage trench.
The entrance to Oak Beach has been under guard since Gilbert's belongings were discovered. Only residents and those with prior permission from the residents are allowed into the area, now considered a crime scene.

Perhaps we're finally getting our Blackout 2.0.
Britney's new album Glory is shaping up to be her best record since Blackout, and she's paying tribute in the best way possible.
A couple of Glory tracklists have been circulating since Britney announced her new album will hit August 26. So far, it appears they're all inaccurate, but with that comes the revelation of two possible song titles included on the Deluxe version of the record – possible bonus tracks.
According to one Britney fan who's accurately revealed things in the past, the Britney Army has two purported song titles in their grasp: "If I'm Dancing" and "Coupure Électrique," which stands for "Blackout" in French.
Exclusive for Britney Army!! 2 songs from the deluxe edition:
16. If I'm Dancing
17. Coupure Electrique
— Nickos (@nickosfassas) August 11, 2016
Only time will tell, but if Britney is making light of the dark, an ode to her 2007 masterpiece Blackout, then her ninth studio album is going to be her best in a decade.
I heard Happy Birthday Blackout was trending earlier… thank u all for loving the album as much as I do. Blackout 2.0?
— Britney Spears (@britneyspears) October 27, 2012

There's a new poll of New Yorkers out from Quinnipiac University that indicates New Yorkers overwhelmingly support the introduction of Vegas-style casinos to the state. The same poll also found a willingness to consider nat gas drilling (via the controversial fracking technique) in NY's section of the Marcellus shale.
Here's the New York Post:
Poll respondents supported the creation of Las Vegas-style casinos by nearly 20 percentage points, 56-37 percent, but only narrowly favored upstate natural gas drilling known as hydrofracking, 45-41.
Support for casinos was virtually identical in all regions of the state, though union households were nearly 2-1 in favor, 61-32 percent. By a slightly wider 64-31 percent margin, respondents said casinos would be good for the economy.
Respondents narrowly favored drilling for natural gas in the Marcellus Shale because they think economic benefits outweigh environmental concerns. But upstate, where the drilling would occur, voters oppose injecting a high-pressure mix of water, sand and chemicals to fracture the shale and release vast stores of natural gas by 47-43 percent.
New York City voters were evenly split on drilling, 41-41 percent, with the strongest support coming from suburban voters, 56-31 percent.
By the way, if they get the casino thing done you can basically say "good night" to AC and Foxwoods...
For the record, I'm for both. As long as I don't live in the part of New York where the gas deposits are (I don't) and so long as the dreck that tends to set up shop in the surrounding area of a casino strip is nowhere near me (it won't be).
The reason I'm not a passionate advocate for these two items that could boost the state's economy is that there's no trade-off or sacrifice for me; in fairness it simply isn't my battle as I live a the disconnected enclave of Long island that would be environmentally unaffected by both initiatives.
But my fellow New Yorkers are speaking loudly.

The stages for the 3DS version will include:
- Reset Bomb Forest (Kid Icarus: Uprising)
- 3D Land (Super Mario 3D Land)
- Spirit Train (The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks)
- Gerudo Valley (The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time)
- Arena Ferox (Fire Emblem)

Each of the 3DS stages will feature two musical tracks, while the Wii U stages will feature several selectable tracks, just as in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Most interestingly, some stages will feature boss battles that pop up in the middle of a round. One example shown was the giant Yellow Devil boss from Mega Man 2 popping up in Wiley Castle. Players had to gang up on it to take it down, but the player that deals the final blow will be able to use the subsequent explosion as an offensive blow against other players. Other bosses were teased, as well, as viewers were treated to what appeared to be a Ridley shadow flying by.

text: Hi all, I asked a while back about finalization cycle warning messages, and I've solved my problem. I was declaring a class something like this: class X: public gc_cleanup { typedef std::map<int, int, gc_allocator<std::pair<int, int> > > map_t; private: map_t m_map; }; The finalization cycle warning would occur because there's a pointer back to m_map from the data allocated by m_map. On Linux w/GCC 4.1.3, std::map<> is a red-black tree, and there's a pointer in each tree node to its parent. The top tree node is pointing back to class X. gc_cleanup appears to be doing the right thing registering finalizers using the _ignore_self variant. However that doesn't eliminate the pointer cycle, and the loop in GC_finalize is still picking up the pointer cycle because X has a finalizer, even though m_map's nodes technically do not. My fix was to change m_map to be a pointer and allocate the map in the constructor for class X. Question: If the warning is printed, even though there doesn't appear to be a _finalization_ cycle (though there is a pointer cycle), will the finalizer for X run? To help debug this I made a small fix to GC_print_callers in os_dep.c. GC_print_callers was taking the LOCK() so as to increment and decrement the reentry_count. I changed reentry_count to AO_t and used the libatomicops operations to get rid of the lock. I then added a #ifdef'd GC_print_backtrace() right after the warning in GC_finalize(). I also removed the UNLOCK() and LOCK() around GC_generate_random_backtrace() in GC_notify_or_invoke_finalizers() as it was no longer needed. Attached is the patch, though it isn't yet perfect. Question: How do I get GC_print_backtrace() to stop when it's printing a cycle? I currently have to ctrl-C the program when it catches a finalization cycle when I have debug turned on. One more question: Is my sending of these patches useful to anyone? Will they be applied, do you think? Are they in the right format? -- George T.

Briefing on Gold
Gold fulfils the conditions of a perfect "medium of exchange" (or money). It cannot be created or destroyed by human whim, it has few alternative industrial uses, which might affect its value and it has a very low weight to value ratio (and so is easily transportable). Throughout history it has been universally accepted by humans as possessing intrinsic value, being universally understood to demonstrate wealth and power.
It is different from other financial investments (like bonds, equities and real estate) which can be valued by a calculation of the discounted stream of future cash flows. These assets can be valued by human logic; gold however is valued more by human emotions, be it for its ability to demonstrate and display wealth, to protect against political uncertainty or to act as a hedge to paper currencies being devalued. To some investors such as Warren Buffett, the lack of an income stream means that gold is not really an investment, but to others, gold is considered the ultimate investment, since all financial securities are merely paper claims on cash flows, which can be overridden in extreme circumstances, by governments or by force.
Economic Background
There are today approximately 5 billion ounces of gold in the world (and 7 billion people); supply from gold-mine production averages about 80 million ounces per year, so supply of gold grows only by about 1.5% per annum. With supply relatively fixed it is changes in demand for gold that are the key to understanding changes in the price of gold.
Since owning gold produces no income, and indeed may incur a storage charge, the opportunity cost of owning gold is that of earning interest on paper currency instead. Thus gold has historically been strongly correlated with the level and direction of real interest rates. When paper currency can earn a high real interest return, the demand for gold tends to be low, and when the real interest return is low then the demand for gold tends to be high. The real interest rate in the Western world peaked in the early 1980s when the US Federal Reserve decided to stop inflation (even at the cost of recession and unemployment) and pushed up interest rates to almost 20%. Since 2000, interest rates have been kept low (now at essentially zero) while inflation has remained steady so that real interest rates have fallen sharply and are now negative. Current central-bank policy is concerned with maintaining very low interest rates even at the cost of this leading to higher inflation and so the real interest rate seems set to stay very low and possibly move lower in the future.
Gold Today
The global financial crash of 2008 and the subsequent economic policies have generally contributed to greater desire among many investors to include gold as part of their overall portfolios. The crash demonstrated that the entire financial system is massively interconnected – governments realised the danger and were able to backstop the system, before confidence in the entire banking system was destroyed. It did though make many realise just how dependent their wealth was on a functioning banking system and that the creditworthiness of banks does need to be considered. Lower confidence in the international banking system translates quickly into a greater desire to hold "money" outside of that banking system.
Since then, the policies adopted by the central banks in the West following the crash (specifically Quantitative Easing in very substantial amounts), have caused investors to realise that the supply of paper currencies can be expanded significantly and at will. Control of the supply of money is no longer a key tenet of central banking but instead can be discarded easily to pursue other economic objectives. The actions of the Federal Reserve, in particular in promising open-ended QE until the economy is much stronger, are a clear reversal of the Fed's priorities from 1980 onwards. The search for a currency whose supply cannot be increased so easily, quickly leads to investment in gold.
In the Eurozone, the problems of sovereign debts and the consequential series of bailouts have begun to undermine confidence that the Euro will survive as a stable currency. This has caused much European (and in particular German) investor money to find its way to banks in Switzerland and converted into Swiss Francs and gold.
The Arab Spring and its consequent potential for radical, political change in the Middle East have caused many wealthy Arabs to reconsider the allocation of their wealth and contingency plans should they feel the need to move to a different part of the world. Holding more of their wealth in gold, which is easily transportable, is a straightforward decision for many.
The Future for Gold
China and India, due to their sheer size and rapid economic growth, are fast becoming much more important fractions of the global economy, and both have long histories and associations with gold ownership. In India, buying gold has long been the default investment strategy for every section of society – as incomes and wealth build, so too will Indian demand for gold.
Until just a few years ago, individual Chinese were not allowed to own gold, but throughout history the Chinese have revered gold. This hiatus extends to the national level, where gold forms less than 2% of its central-bank foreign-exchange reserves. This contrasts with 76% for the USA and 74% for Germany. China is relatively light in gold reserves (and relatively heavily exposed to US Dollars) when compared with most other countries in the world, and they have made very public their concerns with the QE policies adopted by the Federal Reserve. China (both nationally and individually) looks likely to be a major source of demand for gold for many years into the future.
In a world where all paper currencies are being actively printed, it is not surprising that investors are seeking a currency where supply is strictly controlled – in recent years gold has become that default currency, and looks set to maintain that status for some time.
Gold Mining Equities
Before the introduction of exchange-traded products on gold bullion, it was difficult for individual investors to own gold directly, other than in the form of coins and jewellery. The natural alternative was to own shares of gold-mining companies, the assets of which were, in effect, their discovered (and undiscovered) bullion reserves in the ground. In addition, the nature of the profit and loss account meant that their earnings were operationally geared to the gold price giving scope for share price volatility in both directions. These shares were in relatively limited supply and became very expensive in relation to their assets and earnings. In the first decade of this century, the rising gold price would normally have seen the shares outperforming the underlying bullion price. However, this did not occur as investors used the exchange-traded physical gold products to get their desired exposure to gold. Instead gold-mining shares underwent a steady de-rating as their scarcity value diminished. Their valuations are now in line with those of other equities, and once again offer an exposure with higher returns (and risk) than bullion for those investors bullish of gold.
Most of the feasible scenarios that might arise from the combination of Western Central Bank printing, enforced austerity throughout peripheral Europe, continued Middle East tensions both within and between countries, and the rise of China and their lack of gold holdings relative to the other major powers, lead to conclusions that the demand for gold will increase, a commodity which remains limited in supply. This underpins a long term bullish perspective on the gold price, even after a 10-year bull market. The most negative scenario for the gold price is that the world's problems resolve themselves slowly and peacefully over time, and growth and interest rates return to their pre-crisis levels.

The Adventures of Phoebe Zeit-Geist
"The Adventures of Phoebe Zeit-Geist" was an American comics series, written by Michael O'Donoghue and drawn by Frank Springer. From January 1965, it was serialized in the magazine Evergreen Review, and later published in book form as a Grove Press hardcover in 1968 and trade paperback in 1969. It was reissued as a trade paperback in 1986. (Ken Pierce Books, ISBN 0-912277-34-3, ISBN 978-0-912277-34-9).
The comic detailed the adventures of debutante Phoebe Zeit-Geist as she was variously kidnapped and rescued by a series of bizarre characters, such as Nazis, Chinese foot fetishists, and lesbian assassins.
Doonesbury comic-strip creator Garry Trudeau cited the strip as an early inspiration, saying, "[A] very heavy influence was a serial in the Sixties called 'Phoebe Zeitgeist' ... It was an absolutely brilliant, deadpan send-up of adventure comics, but with a very edgy modernist kind of approach. To this day, I hold virtually every panel in my brain. It's very hard not to steal from it."

2017 boys golf All-Area Preseason Team
Westlake, Senior
Wolff has been a pivotal part of Westlake High School's three consecutive CIF State golf title appearances and is on a mission to make it four consecutive. The Oklahoma State-signee will make a run for an individual state crown in May.
Campbell Hall, Junior
He doesn't have the high school resume Wolff has, but that's because Maruyama makes headlines on the PGA's Junior Golf circuit. Maruyama has professional skill already.
Thousand Oaks, Junior
Doyle can be the best player on the course when he's on. The underclassman shot a par-71 at Los Posas Country Club for the CIF Southern Section individual championships last season, which shows he can perform on the big stage.
Harvard-Westlake, Senior
Calvin-Smith has a great mental approach to the game: Have fun. Despite his easy-going attitude, this USC-bound golfer has a very serious game. The ball explodes off his clubs with ease, which is impressive to watch.
Harvard-Westlake, Senior
Kewalramani's calm demeanor provides a sound and finesse game that looks effortless. In last year's Oak Park Invitational Kewalramani shot a 2-under 69 to win the tournament. He used his driver only three times.
Westlake, Junior
Heatherington is Westlake's No. 2 golfer, behind Wolff, but he is capable of turning the order from No. 1 and No. 2 to 1A and 1B. Earlier this week, Heatherington shot an even par-72 at the Coyote Invitational, finishing third.
Oaks Christian, Sophomore
Gretzky has a "big league" presence about him, and his golf game backs it up. In Oaks Christian's first match of the season, he shot a 2-under 70 at Rustic Canyon. He opened the round with an eagle, birdie and birdie.
Oaks Christian, Junior
A new addition to the Oaks Christian team from Georgia. Ackerman brings a championship pedigree after helping his previous school to two state championship runs.
Oaks Christian, Junior
Marek is one of the top juniors in the area that plays in a lot of events outside of high school. These competitions are likely to get him a Division I scholarship.
El Camino Real, Senior
Kyaw was one stroke from tying and two strokes from winning last year's CIF L.A. City Section individual championship. A future collegiate player, Kyaw is set on making another run at the City title and is likely to represent the City Section come the SoCal Regional championships.
Birmingham, Senior
Lingamen was the 2015 L.A. City Section champion. The Birmingham senior needs to prove to himself that the pinnacle of his high school career isn't behind him, but in front of him.
Hart, Junior
Scheller is one of the Foothill League's best. He started the season off with 1-under-71 at Calabasas Country Club to win the Coyote Invitational.
West Ranch, Junior
Renteria always looks like he's having fun on the course, but as great as his smile is, it's no match for his impressive short game, which can help him keep his scores low.
West Ranch, Junior
He's a solid golfer that hits the ball long off the tee. "Hits the ball a mile," West Ranch coach Jeff Holen said.
West Ranch, Sophomore
Young and talented. Busnawi could be a big factor for West Ranch's hopes of a deeper postseason run.
Chaminade, Junior
Draper is a fierce competitor that usually stays in the 70s, but can put himself in trouble with bold shots. Although sometimes his gutsy shots pay off.
Chaminade, Senior
A senior leader that sticks to what he knows: Fundamentals. Aronson will play for Hofstra University next year.
Chaminade, Junior
The team's No. 3 golfer could easily be a No. 1 golfer on most teams in the area. Ray adds much-needed depth that Chaminade will need to get a Mission League title.
Sierra Canyon, Junior
A rare combination of unmatched focus and gregarious attitude. Winfield had a huge growth spurt over the summer that now allows him to hit longer off the tee and from the fairway. The kid can play.
Valencia, Senior
Bright is outstanding in the classroom and is still waiting to hear from Stanford. On the course, he's Valencia's team captain and relies on his solid iron game to hit a lot of greens.
Valencia, Sophomore
Scully has a lot of potential, but needs to learn to shake the nerves. He shot a 69 at Woodley Lakes three weeks ago, but then shot an 86 at the Coyote Invitational this past week. New to the game, he has a rare combination of power with soft hands.
Alemany, Freshman
He has been on the golf radar for a while, but stamped his name on the high school scene when he won the Spanish Hills Country Club Invitational less than a month ago. He also shot 2-under in the Mission League's first tournament at Wilson Golf Course. We could be living in the "Stiles Era" the next three years.
Calabasas, Junior
Behind Westlake and Oaks Christian, Davidson could be an anchor for a Calabasas team that should see postseason golf.
Calabasas, Sophomore
Stiller looks like a golfer, long and thin. Stiller, along with Davidson, are the one-two punch for the Coyotes.
Granada Hills, Freshman
The most talented golfer on the Granada Hills golf team. Ruaysungnoen is a quiet youngster, but his game is big. It wouldn't be a surprise if Ruaysungnoen made a run at the individual City crown.
Granada Hills, Senior
A returning member of last year's City championship team. Kim may not be the most talented in the section, but having a City title in your back pocket counts for something.
1. Can Westlake make a fourth consecutive CIF State title appearance?
Westlake is led by the area's best player, Matt Wolff, who is already committed to play for Oklahoma State next year, but that may not be enough.
Westlake won back-to-back CIF State titles in 2014 and 2015, a first, and was just two strokes short of a third consecutve title in the 2016 State final to Torrey Pines last May. The core players for the three consecutive state appearances have all graduated, including three-time Daily News golfer of the year Spencer Soosman, along with key contributors Justin Egelske and Brandon Jacobs.
"It's obviously hard losing all those great players (from) last year," Wolff said. "It would be great to make a fourth straight run at the state title. A lot of teams in our area lost good players last year. Anything can happen."
Second to Wolff is junior James Heatherington, who "has a lot of game, but just needs to work on his consistency," Wolff said.
At the prep and college level, it's more about team golf, but as a player such as Wolff advances, the sport becomes more individual.
"I'm definitely looking to win an individual state title to finish off my career," Wolff said.
Although Westlake has talent, look for Wolff to make a strong push for an individual state crown.
2. Are Wolff and Campbell Hall's Sean Maruyama the area's best?
The area's best? How about some of the nation's best junior golfers.
Wolff is a big fish in a big pond and everyone knows it.
Each time Wolff's name is brought up in conversation, the immediate response is a head shake quickly followed by the eagerness to move on to the next topic because Wolff's talent is never up for debate.
Among a slew of low scores, Wolff impressed those at last year's CIF State Southern California Regionals at Brookside in Pasadena when he drove the ball to the fringe of the green on the par-4 first hole of C.W. Koiner Course, then chipped in for eagle effortlessly.
He hits the ball a mile, strikes the ball impressively with his irons and rolls putts that make onlookers believe the ball is going in every time.
Golfweek rankings put Wolff as the No. 63-ranked junior golfer in the nation and No. 9 in the state.
Maruyama is still a junior and already committed to UCLA, but many have the opinion that he's closer to a pro career than Wolff.
Everything about Maruyama's game makes even the weekend golfer salivate.
World-class golf runs in Maruyama's blood. He's the son of Shigeki Maruyama, a 10-time winner in Japan and three-time champion on the PGA Tour. Sean is constantly making headlines in national tournaments.
Golfweek ranks Maruyama at No. 32 in the nation among junior golfers and No. 10 in California for the class of 2018.
3. Will Chaminade's "#BannerSeason" motto work?
It's been five years since Chaminade won the Mission League title and seven years since the program's CIF-SS Division crown, so why is the team's motto for 2017 #BannerSeason?
"We have nine seniors on this year's team," coach Brian Durham said. "We've invested a lot of time and energy into the offseason and preseason. We have the talent to make this a special season."
The team's schedule is much more than just work on the driving range. In fact, a lot of the work doesn't involve a golf club. The weekly rundown has a mixture of conditioning and yoga twice a week, team meetings that are labeled "mental games" and the occasional team hike.
"It always comes down to just playing golf, of course," Durham said. "But in regards to preparation and coming together as a team, we feel it makes us better."
Loyola is the team to beat in the Mission League and a team such as Harvard-Westlake, with Owen Calvin-Smith and Brandon Kewalramani, makes less room for a team such as Chaminade to make a run at the league title.
But the Eagles are deep and talented.
Senior captain Alec Aronson is the team's most consistent player, although junior Will Draper is the squad's most talented golfer who can score low and has no fear when it comes to hitting the shot when the time calls for it.
Senior Andrew Lazo and freshman Ethan Kim will be key contributors to the Eagles' hopeful #BannerSeason.
4. Will Oaks Christian win the Marmonte League this year?
Coach Tom Placke said his Oaks Christian team is the strongest he's ever had, including the 2013 team that finished third in the CIF State final.
"Certainly it is the deepest squad we have ever assembled and there will be a lot of vying for the top 6 spots," Placke said.
Depth is always good, which has been the biggest factor for Westlake, winner of four consecutive Marmonte League titles, but losing five of its six best players last year will give Oaks Christian the edge to put Westlake's Marmonte League dynasty to an end.
Led by super sophomore Tristan Gretzky, juniors Andrew Ackerman and Jake Marek, with two impact freshman Blake McGovern and Ryan Duswalt, the Lions are the favorites on paper to take the league this year, but no one can never count out Westlake.
The league's best golfers are likely to be Wolff (Westlake), Gretzky (Oaks Christian) and Seldon Doyle (Thousand Oaks).
Although the Marmonte League is top heavy in individual talent, the whole league qualified for the playoffs last season, which also includes Agoura, Calabasas and Newbury Park.
5. Best individuals and teams in the CIF L.A. City Section?
L.A. City Section golf is very top heavy, especially in the San Fernando Valley. Birmingham's Christian Lingamen and El Camino Real's Ryan Kyaw are the best golfers in the area. Both strike the ball very well and are likely to compete at the collegiate level.
Kyaw shot a 1-over-par 73 in last year's City championship at Wilson Golf Course to finish second.
Lingamen was the 2015 City champ as a sophomore and finished with a 2-over 74 last year.
The head-to-head matchup between Kyaw and Lingamen is worth watching.
"Ryan (Kyaw) is continuing to get better," El Camino Real coach Eric Choi said. "He's very confident in his game right now and I think he's really anticipating his college choice."
Granada Hills is the reigning City champion after beating out heavily favored Palisades by two strokes in 2016, which was shocking because of Palisades' dynasty run of three consecutive City titles.
The Highlanders' No. 1 golfer is freshman Ryan Ruaysungnoen, who has a combination of endless natural talent and relentless work ethic. Granada Hills has just two returning seniors.
"It's a hard working group, a never-quit attitude kind of team," Granada Hills coach Chris Ancheta said. "They have a desire to improve, and I love that about this year's team."
6. Will we see a lot of impactful freshman this season?
Last year the L.A. Daily News Newcomer of the Year was Oaks Christian freshman Tristan Gretzky, who shot impressive scores all season. But it's likely we'll see more of that young talent contribute in bigger tournaments and league matches this season.
The following freshman are ones to lookout for, and will be key contributors, some even as their team's No. 1 golfer:
Alemany's Kris Stiles, Granada Hills' Ruaysungnoen, Chaminade's Kim, Harvard-Westlake's Grant Choi and Golden Valley's Tyler Richardson.
Stiles is the front-runner for this year's Newcomer of the Year honor after he burst onto the scene at Spanish Hills, winnning a three-hole playoff against fellow local Luke Winfield of Sierra Canyon. They both shot an even-par 71.
7. PGA Tour player comparisons?
A fun way of expressing how much talent is in the area is by comparing prep players to pros.
Jason Day: Wolff, Westlake (Good at everything; always a threat to win)
Billy Horschel: Draper, Chaminade (Ultimate competitor; always "goes for it")
Kevin Na: Kyaw, El Camino Real (Consistent. Lots of pars; a leaderboard mainstay)
Rickie Fowler: Maruyama, Campbell Hall (One of area's best; small in stature, but big game)
Patrick Reed: Calvin-Smith, Harvard-Westlake (Hits very long)
Dustin Johnson: Doyle, Thousand Oaks (Great off the tee; can catch fire)
Paul Casey: Winfield, Sierra Canyon (Outstanding short game; laser-like focus)
Justin Rose: Gretzky, Oaks Christian (Tall and thin; hits the ball long, can score low)
Phil Mickelson: Renteria, West Ranch (Can get himself out of jams with mind-boggling scramble game)
