Thanks da yw wyth for your update on the Buddle. It has always been one of my favourite pubs on the island and I knew it had changed hands a year or so ago. I fondly remember the previous owners had a friendly cat called Daisy. It's good to know it is doing well and I shall look forward to visiting in the summer after a walk around St Catherine's Point.

Glad to report that the atmosphere is as good as ever, with obliging friendly staff. Ordering process is a little lengthy and the food does not arrive promptly, BUT any wait is very well worth it as the food is succulent, tasty and superb! Beautifully judged flavours and textures, and everything has the hallmark of quality. The vegetables are cooked perfectly, the potatoes – that acid test of any pub meal – were done to a turn and melted in the mouth. Desserts – exquisite!
All-in-all the place just oozed the feel-good factor from every pore – and a full programme of live entertainment to add to the warmth of the venue.

Took our son and d-in-law to the Buddle for lunch last week.
Son described gammon as 'not very nice' Daughter in law's crab salad was 99 % salad with a small spoon of crab on the side. Husband's pie was 'ok' My ham,eggs and chips was horrible.Chips edible. Eggs tiny. Ham was slimy , slightly green in colour and obviously dumped straight out of a pack of cellophaned supermarket (basics level) v thin cut ham.The slices were still all stuck together.
On pointing this out I was told that the ham was maybe a funny colour because of the heat in the kitchen.
When going to pay my husband brought this matter up again he was told he could have a free half pint. Resisting this he was eventually grudgingly given a £5 refund.
We are residents and will not be returning.
I should add we were warned !

Apparently the managers from the Plough & Barleycorn in Shanklin took over the Buddle from this Monday and someone from the Buddle has gone to the Plough…

Had lunch here, very disappointed with just about every aspect of our visit. Not pleasant at all.

we lunched at the Buddle yesterday & were not impressed. Prawn jacket potato & crab sandwiches were delivered as tuna jacket potato & prawn sandwiches. When corrected potato was nearly cold, wrapped butter was underneath!
We got a distinct impression the place is relying on its' so called reputation & recent exposure on Clare Balding TV cycle programme. We will not be returning

Visited the Buddle Inn for an evening meal last week. The pub was warm and welcoming. Choose the staple steak and ale pie and chips. All served hot and in a timely fashion. Pie was great but there was a lack of chips and different vegetables!! Appears only peas were on the menu. The only issue with the pie was also the variety in cut size across the table. One large, a medium and aslightly smaller than medium. The fella with the small pie looked longingly to the other end of the table at the big pie. Generally a good pub meal.

Went there recently for Sunday lunch. Had duck and my friends had steak and roast beef. Although the food looked like the usual sort of stuff your mum would serve up if she worked in a pub, I have to say we all finished our plates and found our meals very tasty. The food was cooked correctly- the requested rare steak was actually rare, the vegetables weren't overcooked or crunchy, and I found the staff very friendly and attentive. Definitely worth a visit now and again.

we visited the Buddle inn last October to meet the famous Marc Tuckey for a ghost walk down to the lighthouse.We were very impressed with the service and found the staff polite and friendly.We are hoping to visit again on valentines day to have a meal there as we were so enchanted with the pub and it's surroundings.
Bushy1st November 2009 #11 Author
Our in-laws went last Sunday having liked it on a previous visit, and while the food was OK the service was slow and chaotic. Still a decent pub but they need to smarten up their act on the food side of the business.

For years and years we have been going to The Buddle Inn and it's always been our favourite pub on the island, mainly due to the location and it is a lovely building.
I must say the food is no longer like it use to be I had fresh fillet of Haddock and Chips but to be honest with you I have had better box jobs. £9.25 I would expect a decent bit of fish for that also the Mrs had a jug of Prawns they were tasteless they must have been frozen for ages.
The only good thing I can say is that the pub was decorated the best for Halloween
unlike most other places which did not seem to do much for Halloween.
We will return because of the setting of The lovely Buddle Inn but it would be nice
if the food could improve, we may only return for drinks in the future and crisps.

Hi Neil,
My legs in shorts are such a sight that people have been known to loose the power of speech!!!
My local here in sunny Norfolk has been an inn since the 14h century & is very "Traditional" with small windows & little natural light but the landlord has invested in really good lighting which really adds to the general atmosphere of the place. When I visited the Buddle last week it really was very dim – not sure if any lighting was on, but it seems to me that the natural light is just not enough especially on a cloudy day.
As you know we really wanted to eat here but when I saw dirty tables & grubby floors with bits of food (crisps?) scattered around, it did put us off……………may be we caught them on a bad day.
Neil (local)19th August 2009 #14 Author
Sorry Norfolk Nick but from my experience of the Buddle I have to disagree. The pub is not 'dark & grubby' as you put it… it's simply an old traditional pub which obviously has a 'traditional' atmosphere. I'm not sure what you mean about your comment about 'legs in shorts' so you must please enlighten us.
Norfolk Nick18th August 2009 #15 Author
Walked in & walked virtually straight back out.
The pub was dark & looked grubby. We asked if children were welcome in the bar area & despite us being the only people at the bar, we were totally ignored……now I know that my legs in shorts can be distracting but manners please!!!
Even the front beer garden looked untidy with weeds growing at the side of the pavement.
Maybe the new owners need a little time to sort things out…….
Will try again next year on my 19th Wedding Anniversary (see previous comment)
Norfolk Nick16th July 2009 #16 Author
Thanks for the info Neil.
18 years ago, this was the first pub my wife & I dined at whilst on honeymoon.
I would like to take her again but is it any good?
Neil (local)16th July 2009 #17 Author
Yes, it changed hands a couple of months ago.

What an arrogant pompous person Pompey Frigate is. Typical southerner who thinks anyone living north of Watford is a neothandral. I know some very ignorant southerners who take pleasure in fleecing old people…but thats another story.
My own experience (I am a northerner and proud of it) of the Buddle is that although the food is passable the staff can't handle the amount of people who want food. We waited 50 minutes to be served and another hour until we got our food. Can you blame people being a little irate?
Pompeyfrigate5th April 2009 #20 Author
A nice little country pub. Gets full of tourists though, its quite funny to listen to them with their agressive Newcastle and Liverpool accents, asking why theres no 'real food' on the menu, like triple offal burgers, slabs of chocolate for their numerous government funded children, lard fried chips, mushy peas and pork scratchings etc. They always go ' its all so'vern poncy muk in 'ere'. And of course 'it cost 'undred quid to get here an its rained every day'
Its a good thig the ferry prices are high with this crew around.
The Bakers9th July 2008 #21 Author
Wasn't impressed at all with our meal or the atmosphere of the place, although it looked lovely from the outside.We were so disappointed with the main course that we didn't bother staying for desert.
We were there on a Tuesday for dinner and the place was so quiet we were really self conscious talking as the few diners were seated very closely.
I ordered the lemon sole and it was inedible, the fish on the top was wet and the underneath looked like tripe! which put me right off, so I left it and filled up on my friends left over scampi. My husband had a crab salad which he said was 'ok but not great'. The plus points were the nice chunks of fresh bread and the starters of whitebait and garlic mushrooms were quite tasty. We were so disappointed with the main course that we didn't bother staying for desert.
Service was friendly but uninterested.

Hi The Virtual Ranger,
While sitting on the patio supping on our ales (Kim was surprised to see Foster's even though she was 10,000 miles from home – she's a delectable Aussie babe!) and looking out to sea, we saw a chap park up, walk across to the Inn and enter by a side door. We saw him again while waiting for the ferry back to the mainland -he was one of the car passengers waiting in line to get on. He was so interesting looking that we knew we had to give him a similarly unique name so my partner Kim settled on Cicero Treacletops!!!! And that's how that came about. Good eh?
All the best,
Jon & Kim 🙂

The Buddle Inn is where we first met Cicero Treacletops! The Buddle Inn is a charming place, the beer is good, the locals friendly and the patio looks out over the bay. We intend to go back at some point, that's how impressed we were with it.

From the Back Cover
Sixty years ago, on October 15, 1952, E.B. White's Charlotte's Web was published. It's gone on to become one of the most beloved children's books of all time. To celebrate this milestone, the renowned Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo has written a heartfelt and poignant tribute to the book that is itself a beautiful translation of White's own view of the world—of the joy he took in the change of seasons, in farm life, in the miracles of life and death, and, in short, the glory of everything.
We are proud to include Kate DiCamillo's foreword in the 60th anniversary editions of this cherished classic.
Charlotte's Web is the story of a little girl named Fern who loved a little pig named Wilbur—and of Wilbur's dear friend Charlotte A. Cavatica, a beautiful large grey spider who lived with Wilbur in the barn.
With the help of Templeton, the rat who never did anything for anybody unless there was something in it for him, and by a wonderfully clever plan of her own, Charlotte saved the life of Wilbur, who by this time had grown up to quite a pig.
How all this comes about is Mr. White's story. It is a story of the magic of childhood on the farm. The thousands of children who loved Stuart Little, the heroic little city mouse, will be entranced with Charlotte the spider, Wilbur the pig, and Fern, the little girl who understood their language.
The forty-seven black-and-white drawings by Garth Williams have all the wonderful detail and warmhearted appeal that children love in his work. Incomparably matched to E.B. White's marvelous story, they speak to each new generation, softly and irresistibly.
About the Author
E. B. White, the author of such beloved classics as Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little, and The Trumpet of the Swan, was born in Mount Vernon, New York. He graduated from Cornell University in 1921 and, five or six years later, joined the staff of The New Yorker magazine, then in its infancy. He died on October 1, 1985, and was survived by his son and three grandchildren.
Mr. White's essays have appeared in Harper's magazine, and some of his other books are: One Man's Meat, The Second Tree from the Corner, Letters of E. B. White, Essays of E. B. White, and Poems and Sketches of E. B. White. He won countless awards, including the 1971 National Medal for Literature and the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, which commended him for making a "substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children."
During his lifetime, many young readers asked Mr. White if his stories were true. In a letter written to be sent to his fans, he answered, "No, they are imaginary tales . . . But real life is only one kind of life—there is also the life of the imagination."

The Aldrich Alert
A Publication of the Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty
by Gary Aldrich - Volume 1, Issue 47
November 13, 2001
This article ran exclusively in the Washington Times - Forum Section on Sunday, November 11, 2001.
I've flown several times since September 11, 2001 and I can truthfully admit that I was not that comfortable with getting on any airplane when I knew that the lowest bidder had won the airline contract to screen the passengers and secure the working areas of most of our nation's international airports.
As I sat in the waiting room I looked at each waiting passenger. I had promised my wife - also a former FBI Agent - that I would do as much as I could to assure my family that I would return safely. Of course they did not want me to go.
As I scanned the crowd looking for odd people, violent looking people, or those who might match a terrorist profile, I suddenly realized I was back on the job!
Two federal marshals walked down the corridor and stopped in my area to do the same thing I was doing. They scanned the group, including me. They were in uniform, and were armed. I was younger than both were, and I knew from their appearance that I was more physically fit. I mention this only because the thought occurred to me that except for the gun, I had everything they had to protect my flight against a terrorist attack.
When I entered the plane, I looked at each sitting passenger and attempted to establish eye contact. Some people will not look up no matter what's going on, because they don't want anyone to see their eyes. Often they behave this way because they're shy. Sometimes they avoid the look because they are trying to hide something. It is against human nature to not look at the arriving passengers. Some are handsome and pretty, some unusual, but all humans are interesting to law enforcement officers - on the job, or retired.
Everything looked good, but I saw no sign of any air-marshal or other official who might be armed and in a position to defend the flight. Most law enforcement types can spot each other in a hurry, and I saw nobody who resembled a cop, or a federal agent. Soon, one of the pilots came out of the cockpit and walked to the back of the plane. He tried to look casual, but he was doing the very same thing that I had done. He looked at each passenger. After he returned to the front of the plane, the second officer took a stroll to the back, and then returned to the front.
Having done as much as I could to spot a dangerous person, I went to the back of the plane to get a magazine. Two stewardesses were in the galley, speaking softly. I leaned in and whispered that I was a 26-year veteran of the FBI. They requested my row and seat number, and it was obvious they were quite pleased to hear about my presence on the plane. Even though it had been years since I'd carried a gun and a badge, I was confident I knew a lot more about security and self-defense than most of the passengers and the crew.
After we landed safely, the crew came up to me and thanked me profusely. I had really done nothing more than let them know I was on the plane. But if things had turned bad, I could have drawn upon my years of experience and training to assist the crew to the extent that anybody could when faced with odds that multiple terrorists would probably have some weapons, whereas the crew and I were thoroughly frisked and disarmed at the magnetometer.
As I drove home I began to wonder why the federal government doesn't tap into the enormous pool of former law enforcement and military personnel who are part of every community. There must be thousands of us in every major city, and I know that the smaller towns have numerous former military, because that's where a great number of our fighting men are recruited.
And, so far our terrorists have lived in larger cities - New York, for example - where it is impossible for people like me to own and carry weapons. Think of it: Thousands of former law enforcement and military personnel, trained in security most willing to do whatever it takes to protect our women and children, and our facilities. Yet, federal and state governments have disarmed us.
Moreover, in the case of at least one federal agency - the FBI - they are turning down the good faith offers of former FBI agents to do volunteer work - any unpaid work - including answering the phones, or even taking out the trash - just so that a contribution of time can be made to fighting the terror that faces us all.
Why are these obvious good resources being ignored? Simple. As a society and government we are still thinking inside the box of pre-911, before we were so terribly attacked on our own soil. The ramifications of that attack have not fully sunk in. Everyone should be on the look out - but trained law enforcement officers, now retired or in another profession, can do more.
Lots of eyes and ears watching and listening is a good thing in wartime. Thousands of former law enforcement officers armed and engaged would be a terrific infusion to the already over-taxed law enforcement agencies, now straining under the weight of enormous terrorism investigations, trying to back-fill the vacancies in the ranks caused by military call-up.

Pottery & Porcelain Marks – Bowl & Urn: Simple designs of bowls, circles with a neck and topped with a line, were used in the 19th century when these marks first appeared. They were also used during the early 1920s on art pottery. Very elaborate urns and vases were marks in the early 1900s and continue to be used today. Factories in the United States and England were the main users of these marks, but those in Germany and Czechoslovakia also used them.

BERKELEY — Flag-waving demonstrators far outnumbered a group of peace advocates who were protesting a U.S. Marine Corps recruiting center in downtown Berkeley on Wednesday.
But groups on both sides of Shattuck Avenue slowed traffic and jammed sidewalks as they shouted back and forth at each other.
Police kept the two competing groups across the street from each other and there were no arrests.
One protester who was burning something was cited by police after he was warned by officers not to burn anything in public, said police spokeswoman Sgt. Mary Kusmiss.
Protests in Berkeley are nothing new, but a protest against a protest is unique — even in Berkeley.
On one side of the street were CodePINK, Grandmothers Against the War, Berkeley East Bay Gray Panthers, Women in Black and other peace groups holding "no war" signs and chanting "out of Iraq."
On the other were military veterans, mothers and fathers of soldiers, members of the University of California, Berkeley, College Republicans and Melanie Morgan, whose conserva
tive talk show airs on KSFO. They waved American flags and chanted "USA, USA, USA."
But at times it was difficult to hear what either group was saying because each was trying to drown out the other as men on Harley-Davidson motorcycles and frustrated motorists gunned their engines on the street between the groups.
"This is 2007 and we supportour troops. We are not going to let CodePINK disgrace our military heroes," yelled Deborah Johns, a Granite Bay woman whose 23-year-old son is preparing to head to Iraq for his fourth tour of duty. "My son is a hero and so are all the others who served this country."
One of the peace advocates, Sheila Goldmacher, a Berkeley woman with Grandmothers Against the War, said she was pushed and shoved by the flag-wavers. "They have a right to be here, they do not have the right to be thugs," she said.
The military recruiting center at 64 Shattuck Square, just south of University Avenue, opened its doors in December 2006 after moving from an Alameda building that was slated to be razed.
But objections didn't begin until last month when CodePINK, an anti-war group, began protesting the center.
"Our message is very clear. We are peaceful people. We don't want to send our sons and daughters into this war. I think the sentiment of Berkeley is on this side of the street," said CodePINK co-founder Medea Benjamin.
Statistics show that Berkeley is sending fewer sons and daughters into the military. In fiscal year 2001, which ended three weeks after the Sept. 11 attacks, 22 Berkeley residents joined the armed forces, according to Department of Defense enlistment data. By 2006, with the Iraq war in full swing, just 15 signed on, nearly one-third less.
Berkeley's drop mimics a California-wide trend. The Golden State in 2001 was the nation's largest source of new enlistees, with 23,503 residents joining the military in 2001. But in 2006, 2,400 fewer residents heeded the call, and today California ranks second behind Texas in recruitment.
The recruiting office, which has been defaced with graffiti in recent weeks, was closed during the protest Wednesday and a representative was not on site to comment.
However, in a recently published editorial in the Berkeley Daily Planet newspaper, Capt. Richard Lund, the Marine Corps' officer selection officer for the northern Bay Area, said he chose the Berkeley site because "of its proximity to UC Berkeley and to the BART station."
Staff Writer Douglas Fischer contributed to this report.

earMUSIC and Saga are happy to reveal details about the release of "Spin It Again - Live in Munich", a live document that captures the final night of the 2013 successful sold-out tour by the Canadian band in Germany, following the critically acclaimed album "20/20".
"Spin it Again – Live In Munich" will be released as 2CD, DVD and Blu-Ray on September 27th, 2013 via earMUSIC.
Saga's historical singer Michael Sadler surprised everybody rejoining the band just a few days before the recording of their recent studio album "20/20" took place. All of a sudden the magic was back.
With this album, Saga charted in the German top 10, sold out nearly 20 concerts in Germany and brought its music into cities and countries where they had never been before.
2012 and 2013 have been very intense years for Saga.
The joy of the original band being back together again, the warmth of the audience and the critical acclaim were accompanied by hard moments on the road and private tragedies...
"Spin it Again", recorded and filmed in Munich, historically a second home for the Canadian prog rockers, features recent songs as well as all the Saga classics.
Two hours of prog and melodic hard rock at its best.
Michael Sadler declares: "After nearly 5 years apart, this show celebrates SAGA as we are, together again. Filmed at the end of our European 20/20 tour, it captures a truly special night among friends. This film not only serves as a reminder to those of us that were there, it also allows others a glimpse of what we do, LIVE."
Ian Crichton adds: "We've played Munich for many years, it keeps getting better… Munich, ich liebe dich!!"

Baseball Reminiscences: Dodger Bat Girl
Christmas is but two days away. My sister and her fiancé will start their drive in from Las Vegas this evening and my husband and I will be celebrating with my side of the family tomorrow night. This time of year always beings so many great memories bubbling to the surface – holidays past, time spent with family, childhood fun. Between starting this blog, enjoying all of your blogs and pumping or shaking my fist over the various offseason rumors, baseball is very much on my brain right now and playing an even larger role in those memories than usual. And for me childhood baseball memories mean memories of the Dodgers…
In 1988 my sister got to be the Dodger's honorary bat girl for a day. To be honest, I actually liked this a lot better than if I was the bat girl myself – I got to tag along and meet everyone with her, but I didn't have to stand near the plate on the field in front of everyone and have my face on the Jumbotron. I would be okay with it now, but at that age I was painfully shy. This was a very special day and the Dodgers organization were wonderful hosts. In those days, they picked a bat boy and bat girl for every game but you wouldn't have known it from the amount of individual attention they lavished on my sister, of course, but also on the whole family.
Our guide took us to meet then manager Tommy Lasorda who was warm and friendly and cracked jokes about the players. He asked if there was any player we would specifically like to meet and we both really wanted to meet Orel Hershiser. But that was not to be. Lasorda explained that Hershiser was pitching that game and he really didn't like to be bothered with anything outside of the game once he got to the field. I remember we were disappointed but also understood. Who wants to bother their favorite pitcher if it might keep him from pitching at his best? Our second choice was Mike Scioscia, another family favorite. My sister and I both have a huge soft spot for catchers. She was a softball catcher. For me it's more of an admiration for players who both play and manage on the field, combining athletic skills with the strategy side of baseball. Scioscia was an absolute sweetheart. He signed baseballs for both of us, chatted with everyone and even had my sister show him her eight year old's catcher's crouch when he found out what position she played. He was a really great guy and I remember thinking that he must have daughters because he knew just how to talk to us not down to us.
After that a young assistant, who I think was a ball boy, who had been standing with Lasorda came back up to us and handed my sister a baseball obviously newly signed by Orel Hershiser. Wow! He had gone to the bullpen to get it for her. In my youth, I was appreciative but the enormity of this gesture didn't occur to me – this kid, who probably wasn't that much older than me, had to disturb the Bulldog before a game to get the autographed baseball. I truly appreciate it now. I wonder what he said to him? Did he just hand him the baseball and hope he would sign it? Did he make a joke about demanding fans? Or did he tell him there were two little girls who knew all the Dodgers by name, number and stats, who thought he was just fantastic (my sister even wore his number 55 in softball) and would treasure a signed ball? Whatever he said, it worked and meant a lot to us. Players who are inclined to do such things must do them all the time and probably don't remember each individual good deed, but I will always remember that and think extra fondly of both Hershiser and the ball boy, wherever he is. This weekend I will have to ask my sister if she remembers this…and if she still has the ball.
Later we got to tour the press box. At the time my sister wanted to be a female Vin Scully when she grew up and I wanted to be a news reporter so it was neat to see all the audio equipment and watch some of the reporters prep for the game. Vin Scully himself was there, but he was well into his game prep and, understandably, could not be disturbed. Still he looked up from his work to smile and wave at us as we toured the booth which was awfully nice. Instead, we met another one of the Dodgers broadcasters. I looked up, and up, and up some more and there was Don Drysdale with a friendly smile, extending his huge hand to envelope first my sister's and then mine in a welcoming handshake. He would have dwarfed me at my adult height, and I am a tall woman. As a little girl, he seemed like a friendly giant…well he was in his civilian attitude. I know from history that batters who faced him probably would not have described him as friendly on the mound. Don Drysdale would consider an intentional walk a waste of three pitches. If he wants to put you on base, he can hit you with one pitch. I adore this quote, usually attributed to Cardinals broadcaster Mike Shannon. It's quintessential baseball in the great "bad" old days. Drysdale was also a lot better at answering a bunch of questions from excited little girls than his reputation might have led you to expect. I actually shed a few tears years later when he died, remembering how kind and hospitable he was.
We had excellent seats that night in the field boxes and I remember enjoying the game but cannot for the life of me recollect any additional details about it. Getting to go behind the scenes and meet some of our favorite players and the people who worked with them, however? Those details I will remember forever.

In Reply to: Re: My experience with HBP and anxiety posted by Sue on November 26, 1999 at 17:11:03:
: : Tom,
: : My doctor told me if you think you have high blood pressure you have it. I have been trying to forget about it & go on with my life. I have seen it signficantly lower in the past month (in the 130 over 85 range). It was 150 over 101 for 2 straight months. Have you been taking Potassium, Omega 3, and Garlic? These supplements have really helped me. Also, be sure to lay off caffeine. I was drinking way too much coffee and experienced a panic attack one night after having a double latte. My heart was pounding and I could barely breath. I started sweating profusely. I really thought I was going to die. I called paged my doctor and he said to calm down because this happens to people all the time. My doctor told me if my bp does not go down in the next 3 months, she wants to put me on medication. I don't think I want to. Good luck and stay calm! (Try Yoga, this really calms your mind)
: : : I was diagnosed with HBP about 2 years ago, my whole family suffers with this too. I was given 10mg of something: : : back then and watched my BP carefully over the 1997-1998 year ... always seem to stay the same about 170/90,: : : well I got lazy and stopped taking medication and just kept an eye on my BP every once in a while. Still 170/90 average.
: : : About two weeks ago, I was settling down to watch Sunday Night Football, grabbed some pretzels and some: : : steamed shrimp leftover in the fridge from the night before. I caught myself saying 'sheesh, I hope the shrimp isn't bad: : : or tainted by now', after eating about 15 of them. Well, within seconds, I caught myself having my first ever PANIC : : : attack. Had to lie down and catch my breath. Well, for the next week I was constantly feeling light headed and: : : getting panic attacks about 4-5 times per day, especially when I started thinking about sickness, death, tumors,: : : you know, the 'what's wrong with me' syndrome. I could feel my BP rising.
: : : I made an appointment at with my Doctor and went. Sitting down the Nurse took my BP and it was 180/102. Yea, high,: : : but maybe normal for me being in a Doctor's office being that I have white coat syndrome. I was OK with that: : : though. Upon entry of my Doctor into the examination room, he preceeded to tell my that I was a great candidate: : : for heart attack, stroke, my liver could be blocked etc. OK I was scared. I was sweating and feeling faint. : : : Then he took my BP.
: : : Yea, right ... It was by this time 240/120 ... he wanted me to go to ER ... I said nope, I am going to lay down on: : : this table for about 10 minutes, calm down and then take my BP again. He did and it was 180/105. He prescribed: : : Norvasc 5 mg, and sent me on my way with an appointment a few days later. Of course, I felt terrible the remainder: : : of the day, had a few panic attacks etc. (This was 19 November 1999) ... My next appoinment is Monday,: : : 22 November 1999. This time I am going to tell him to take my BP before he says anything at all. Then he is free: : : to scare me to death.
: : : Anyway, my BP is averaging about 160/105 right now and I am sure that it fluctuates wildly, especially when thinking: : : about it. When I feel my BP is higher, I lay down and meditate, try to control my pulse and my thoughts a little,: : : and after about 1/2 hour seems to work somewhat.
: : : My experience with Norvasc so far is that my body seems have more of a fluid feel to it, in the arms and: : : legs/feet. And I feel tired more now, since the visit Friday to the Doc, than I have before. I am going to ask him: : : to change it to a beta blocker, which too, may help me with the panic attacks.
: : : I think that one of th main battles with HBP is in the mind. Or that is what I think ...
: : : Tom
: I have anxiety and panic attacks. The panic has been under control for several years but I still have anxiety over almost anything and everything.: I recently had my first experience with an episode of atrial fibrillation which, I'm told, was brought on from high blood pressure. I am now on atenelol 50 mg. in the mornings and 25mg.: in the evenings. I told my doctor that I thought that my hbp was caused by my almost constant anxiety about something. He agreed that it sounded like a good explanation. I know for a fact that when my anxiety is high, my bp goes up right along with it. I believe that I must control the anxiety along with the hbp in order to be successful with lowering the bp.
Sounds to me like you need something to control the anxiety and then maybe the blood pressure would regulate. Ever think of trying XANAX. Just a thought, since I have the same problem.

- Special ASTRONOMY TALK
- "The Cosmological Challenges of Dwarf Galaxies"
- Time: 3:45 pm
- Place: 4421 Sterling Hall
- Speaker: Julio Navarro, University of Victoria
- Abstract: A prime challenge to our understanding of galaxy formation concerns the scarcity of dwarf galaxies compared with the numerous low-mass halos expected in the current LCDM paradigm. This is usually accounted for by assuming that energetic feedback from evolving stars confines dwarf galaxy formation to relatively massive halos spanning a narrow mass range. I will highlight a number of observations that may be used to test this assumption and discuss the puzzles and challenges that arise from this analysis.

Dickies Contest Winners - Total Transformation
Before & After
We know that your 4x4 rarely looks the same as it did the day you got it. After all, a huge part of our hobby is modifying our rigs to make them work better for our needs. From salvaging barn finds to transforming daily drivers into dedicated wheelers, the evolution of any given 4x4 is anything but typical. We knew that many of you had great before and after shots of your rides, so a few months ago, we put the call out to see what you had.
To sweeten the pot, we teamed up with the rugged work and leisure clothing team at Dickies (www.dickies.com), which agreed to throw in any jacket of choice to our top three before and after submissions. After going through all of the entries, we've finally picked our top three. More than anything, what made the top trio stick out was they were all DIY builds on varying budgets. All three also represented a great balance of form and function.
Think your rig could have been a contender? Well, we would love to check it out.
To submit your ride, simply send a high resolution before and after photo (at least 1600x1200 or 2MB) to email@example.com with the title "Before/After". Be sure to include as much information as possible about the vehicle and a little history on how and why the build took place. Don't worry if your beater still looks like a beater, this isn't a beauty contest. So, dig through those photo archives and let us see what kind of progress you have made. Who knows? Your ride might end up in the pages of Four Wheeler, too.
Dan Gotobed, Shawnee, Kansas
1974 Ford Bronco
The story of Dan Gotobed's early Bronco is a great one and definitely a family affair.
Gotobed says "I bought this Bronco in 2001 off of eBay in Maryville, Missouri. It was a farm truck with a snowplow, a little rust, and only 46,000 miles. My intent was to build an off-road toy with a little bondo, a lift, and wheels and tires. OK, I got a little carried away. As Bronco guys know (I didn't at the time), a little rust visible means terminal cancer within. I started replacing panels, which (meant) I had to teach myself to weld.
I then built a rotisserie and completely restored the frame and bottom of the body, rebuilt the engine, changed gears, and so on. I sent my son to UTI where he learned to paint and he painted (the Bronco) in his garage. My wife reminds me it was in (our) garage for nine years. The finished product reflects the labor of love." Gotobed adds a "special thanks to my son Stephen for the paint job and airbrush art by my other son, Brad."

John Klafin, Gilbert, Arizona
1982 Jeep CJ-10
John Klafin says his build "started out as a CJ-10 from the Air Force that a friend of mine bought at auction. After five years, he got tired of it and gave it to me. It took 16 months, and I did all the work myself in a three-car garage in a subdivision." That's a lot of building in a short time! We dig what Klafin did with the Jeep and figured you would, too.

Tyler Jones, Burlington, Kentucky
1989 Chevy Blazer
Tyler Jones wasted no time transforming his '89 Blazer into the wheeling machine that he wanted it to become. He states, "(I) bought it bone stock other than some aftermarket wheels and tires a little over a year ago. It was no showroom queen when I bought it, but it had low miles and was in pretty decent shape for an old Chevy from the Rust Belt. Now, it is a trail ready rig."
Since Jones was looking to run a high-pinion driver-side front axle, he had to ditch the stock NP241 transfer case for a NP241 transfer case. This also required a custom transmission crossmember and a few other driveline adjustments. Jones says the Blazer "is a never-ending project" and hopes to one day build a link-suspension system front and rear and even add larger tires.

Written by: Lisa Phelps for Student Choice
During my senior year of college, I worked 25-hours a week in our financial aid office, planned my wedding (which happened to be the day before my graduation), served as an officer in my sorority and was president of an on-campus club. This was the beginning of my family nickname: the overscheduler! However, I learned a lot that year about how to juggle multiple priorities.
I can hear the words of an old boss of mine very clearly: "You have to pay to play." This is the same idea that I try to impart to my kids as they constantly look for ways to spend more time playing video games or watching funny YouTube videos in lieu of doing their homework or household chores. Back in my school days, there was a method to my madness. I found that if I got my course work knocked out early in the day, I had time to go out and experience the really fun parts of college life.
I ended up having to go "inactive" or take a semester off from the sorority my last semester as there were literally not enough hours in the day. I also had to trim back some of my other activities to focus on higher priority items. Saying "no" can be difficult to do, but knowing when it is required to preserve your sanity or just keep you at the top of your game is important. This is true not just during your college years, but throughout life.
One of my favorite memories from college was a rock climbing day trip in the desert. It was totally spontaneous as a friend of mine saw me in the cafeteria that morning and mentioned they had an extra spot open. I had never been before and it was totally outside of my usual activities and my normal group of friends. It was an absolute blast. I may have broken rule #1 a bit, but sometimes you have to make room for the unexpected!
Over the years, I have learned that achieving a perfect balance (or at least keeping a perfect balance) is pretty close to impossible. As you try to find the best path for yourself, remember that life is a balancing act that is always shifting. You may need to adjust, re-adjust, and then re-adjust some more. I know that I still am!

My name is Michael Lynch. I'm an East Tennessee native with a B.A. in History from Lincoln Memorial University and an M.A. in U.S. History from the University of Tennessee, where I'm currently a Ph.D. candidate in early American history. I'm back at my alma mater as the director of the Abraham Lincoln Lincoln Library and Museum and an instructor of history.
I'm developing a dissertation on the intersection of authority, manliness, order, and allegiance on the Appalachian frontier during the American Revolution. My M.A. thesis examined evolving interpretations of Revolutionary War militiamen who fought at the Battle of King's Mountain and the forces that shaped the way Americans remembered that event. (If you'd like to know more about my research and my professional/academic background, check out my other website.)
I spent a few years doing adjunct professor gigs, but a lot of my career has been spent in public history. In previous stints at the ALLM I helped research, write, and design exhibits in addition to assisting with collections management, publications, and various other duties. I also spent a year running a historic house museum in Kentucky, and I was a graduate assistant for academic programs at the McClung Museum of Natural History & Culture. I'm currently on the board of the Gov. John Sevier Memorial Association, which provides support and oversight for Marble Springs State Historic Site in Knoxville, TN.
This site is basically my personal soapbox for expounding on matters relating to American history, primarily from the colonial era through the Civil War. Historical books, sites, exhibits, debates, myths, personalities, and preservation are all fair game. I'm especially interested in the American Revolution and the early history of Tennessee. As a longtime dinosaur fanatic, I tend to post about matters prehistoric and paleontological, too, so don't be shocked if you find me meandering into the really distant past.
As John Lawton said, "The irony of the Information Age is that it has given new respectability to uninformed opinion." I hope you find my opinions here to be informed, but not too respectable. And it should go without saying that the opinions expressed on this blog are solely mine, and not those of any institutions or organizations with which I'm affiliated,
If you'd like to email me, the address is email@example.com. Feel free to follow my dual Twitter accounts, too. My professional Twitter handle is @mlynchhist, where I keep my early Americanist hat planted firmly atop my head. My other handle is @mlynch5396, where anything that piques my interest is liable to pop up.

June 6, 2002
By Mark Purdy
Mercury News Staff Columnist
As America slept, Brandi Chastain screamed.
``Are you kidding?'' she yelled at the television set. ``Are you kidding?''
Oddly enough, that's also the new national motto of Portugal, as of Wednesday.
Yeah, baby. We're Americans, and we rule the futbol planet. For one night, anyway. Or rather, for one morning. The United States' soccer victory over heavily touted Portugal in the World Cup was historic -- perhaps the country's biggest win ever. So it was pretty cool to watch the whole thing unfurl in the wee hours with somebody who knew exactly how historic it was.
Or, if you would allow me to quote Chastain at 2:38 a.m., after she watched the U.S. score its final goal in a stunning 3-2 victory:
``YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAH! World class! World class! World class!''
In other words, she was quite pleased.
These are wonderful times for the soccer mammals of America. Normally, I wouldn't be classified as one. Normally, you'd never get me out of bed at 2 a.m. to watch 11 men in shorts kick a ball across a South Korean lawn for two hours. But if you have a chance to watch the United States' first World Cup game of 2002 with the Bay Area's first family of soccer . . . well, you definitely take it.
That first family is, of course, Chastain and her husband, Jerry Smith. Three years ago, she made the penalty kick that won the Women's World Cup. Then she helped start up the Women's United Soccer Association. Smith coaches the Santa Clara University women's team, which won the NCAA championship six months ago, and the national under-21 women's team.
Several weeks ago, I asked Chastain and Smith if they would be staying awake to watch the game Wednesday. Are you kidding? Of course they would. Then I asked if they would mind me coming over to their house as they watched.
Amazingly, they agreed, without hesitation. Chastain and Smith aren't just soccer mammals, they are the SWAT team sales force of their sport. They will do anything to help promote their game. They are also very nice people who baked a cake and decorated it with strawberries and blueberries to make an American flag when they knew I was going to stop by their San Jose house at such an ungodly hour.
``And,'' Smith said, ``you've also got to put on this stuff.''
He threw me a blue USA Soccer T-shirt and a pair of red USA Soccer shorts. He was donning the same outfit. Chastain wore her U.S. national-team jersey. They were watching in their combination kitchen/den with three of Chastain's CyberRays teammates, who also were decked out in red, white and blue. I still hesitated.
``You sure it's not an ethical violation for me to wear this?'' I asked.
``Put it on,'' Smith said firmly.
I pulled the shirt over my head and was in the process of explaining why the shorts would not be a good idea when . . . huh? The Americans scored their first goal.
``What a start!'' Smith said.
What a stunner. Portugal came into the tournament ranked fifth in the world; the Americans a 300-1 oddsmakers' choice to win the Cup. But now our plucky lads were leading a team that was supposed to rout them.
``Who can I call right now?'' wondered Chastain, who refused to sit down. She paced behind the kitchen counter. ``If people miss this, they're going to be so sad.''
At times like these, you really understand how much the South Bay is at the epicenter of American soccer. Two of the 11 starters Wednesday were members of the Earthquakes: Landon Donovan and Jeff Agoos.
``Landon can score a goal in this game,'' said Chastain, who then flatly declared: ``I think Landon will score a goal in this game.''
A few minutes later, Donovan found himself to the right of the goal and booted a cross toward the the goalmouth. But the ball hit a Portugal defender in the head and deflected into the net. United States 2, Portugal 0.
Chastain practically ran a lap around the kitchen island.
``I have the chills,'' she said. ``I really have chills.''
Seven minutes later, Brian McBride put his head on a cross and made it 3-0. Now, Smith was up out of his seat, too.
``The first two USA goals,'' Smith said, ``you could say were mistakes by Portugal. But that was just a great, great goal.''
Unfortunately, Portugal answered quickly with a scrambling goal six minutes before halftime. We broke out the cake. By then, it was around 3 a.m. At the intermission, Santa Clara player Aly Wagner and her dad suddenly showed up -- frontrunners! -- because they were getting too excited to watch the game at home by themselves.
Nobody believed victory was in the bag. The second half, as predicted, was all about the U.S. defense. Chastain finally pulled up an ottoman and sat down, as she watched a closeup of a frustrated Portugal forward. With 15 minutes left, U.S. Coach Bruce Arena pulled Donovan from the lineup and sent in Joe-Max Moore.
``No!'' erupted Chastain and CyberRays teammate LaKeysia Beene.
``He's taking off youth and adding experience,'' Smith explained. ``The last 15 minutes of a game like this one is not about playing soccer. It's about making good decisions. This is Max Moore's third World Cup.''
``Yeah, you're a coach,'' Chastain said. ``Landon is cuter.''
``Landon is cuter,'' Smith said. ``But Joe is more experienced. That's what you want. He's also better in the air'' jumping for contested balls ``than Landon.''
Maybe so. But Portugal kept pressing until . . . oh, no! Agoos accidentally volleyed the ball into the Americans' net. United States 3, Portugal 2 with 19 minutes left.
``No way!' Smith shouted.
``Oh, my God!'' Chastain screamed.
``Come on, boys,'' Wagner said.
``Come on, hang on,'' Smith said.
Which they did. At the final whistle, more high fives. Many more.
``I feel like going out and playing,'' Wagner said.
``Me, too,'' Chastain replied.
At 4 in the morning? Yes, at 4 in the morning. Who knows? They may have gone out and kicked around the ball. I said my thank yous and goodbyes, then headed out the door all pumped up and saw . . . a totally quiet, dark, neighborhood that didn't even realize that the United States had become the earth's newest and greatest soccer power. Or, at least, a World Cup sleeper.
Somehow, that seems appropriate.

Organizing For Dummies
Table of Contents
Author Information
No matter what life stage you're in, getting organized can make every day better and help you achieve your long-term goals. Organizing For Dummies is for anyone who wants to
- Polish his or her professional reputation
- Experience less stress
- Increase productivity
- Build better relationships
- Maximize personal time
Organization isn't inherited. With the human genome decoded, the evidence is clear: DNA strings dedicated to putting things into place and managing your time like a pro are nonexistent. Instead, organization is a learned skill set. Organizing For Dummies helps you gain that skill with topics such as:
- Understanding how clutter costs you in time, money, and health
- Training your mind to be organized and developing a plan
- Cleaning house, room by room, from basement to attic (including the garage)
- Creating functional space for efficiency and storage
- Time-management strategies for home, office, and tavel
- Scheduling, delegating, and multitasking
- Making time for your family
- Managing your health – physical and financial
- Finding time for love
- Organizing and cashing in on a great garage sale
Getting organized is about unstuffing your life, clearing out the dead weight in places from your closet to your calendar to your computer, and then installing systems that keep the good stuff in its place. Organizing is a liberating and enlightening experience that can enhance your effectiveness and lessen your stress every day – and it's all yours simply for saying "No" to clutter.

Air Transportation! No form of U.S. transportation has changed and grown more rapidly in the past 60 years!
People and cargo - the U.S. Air Transportation system is absolutely crucial to the movement of both.
Pilots and flight attendants may be the most visible employees, but did you realize that 2 out of every 3 workers in this industry work in a ground occupation.
Aircraft mechanics, service technicians, cargo and baggage handlers, reservation and ticket agents - these are just some of the occupations needed to run today's commercial and charter airlines.
Many mechanics learn their jobs in one of around 200 trade schools certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). About one-third of these schools award two and four year degrees in avionics, aviation technology, or aviation maintenance management. For various customer service representative occupations, a high school diploma or its equivalent is the minimum entry-level educational requirement. In addition, these positions require strong communications and problem-solving skills.
Career opportunities in Air Transportation are worth a closer look! The links that follow will help learn more about careers and jobs in the Air Transportation industry.
Three sites have information on air transportation. We highlight the sites and the content we think you'll find useful as you explore your career options in this area of transportation.

With helmeted riot police looking on, some 10,000 protesters chanted "Russia without Putin!" and called for the release of activists who face long jail terms over violence at a protest against his inauguration to a third presidential term last year.
Critics accuse Putin, in power since 2000, of clamping down on dissent after he weathered the biggest protests of his rule and returned to the Kremlin following a stint as prime minister.
"We have no democracy here, we have what Putin calls sovereign democracy. That means there is democracy for them, not for us," said protester Andrei Rusakov, 53.
Protesters chanted "Putin is a thief" and held pictures of 12 activists who are being tried over clashes with police at a rally the day before he was sworn in.
A bridge leading across the Moscow river toward the Kremlin was blocked by police lines, bulldozers and water trucks. Police said they detained nine members of a suspended opposition group.
Shortly after the march, Putin, 60, was chosen to lead the Popular Front at a highly choreographed congress of the group he created in 2011 as a source of support to supplement the ruling United Russia, which many Russians mistrust.
In a spectacle that mixed elements of Soviet Communist Party meetings and Western-style political conventions, members chanted Putin's name after a speech full of patriotic rhetoric.
"We are united by values that are higher than political passions," Putin told the gathering, which included cultural and religious figures, stylish young women and medal-bedecked World War Two veterans.
Putin spoke of freedom, human rights and the rule of law in his address but protesters said he has trampled on those values since starting his six-year third term.
Putin has signed laws restricting demonstrations and labelling U.S.-funded civic groups "foreign agents". Protest leaders are under investigation or on trial in what they say are trumped up charges.
Marchers, hoping to revive flagging protests, focused on the plight of 12 lesser-known activists who face up to eight years in jail over clashes with police in what critics call a Stalin-style show trial meant to scare away ordinary Russians.
"This is a political trial ... it is all clearly falsified," said Natalya Kavkazskaya, whose son Dmitry, 26, is among the defendants and has been in pre-trial detention since last July.
"Mother Russia is in tears, crying like all mothers over their children in this country," she said at the protest, which took place on a holiday called Russia Day.
More than half of Russians polled by the independent Levada Centre last month said the case was meant to intimidate Putin's foes.
Some posters targeted Putin's announcement last week that he and his wife Lyudmila were divorcing: "He wants someone else - and so do we."
Putin remains Russia's most popular politician by far, but his job approval rating fell to a 12-year low of 62 percent in January, according to Levada Centre.
"We want the authorities to stop fabricating criminal cases against opposition leaders and activists," Dmitry Gudkov, an opposition lawmaker and protest leader.
"Those in power are not changing but society is, and if the authorities do not catch up with that the same thing will happen to them as with leaders in some Arab countries," he said.
While the protests have waned, they exposed fatigue with Putin an dissatisfaction with the dominance of United Russia, his main source of support and instrument of power.
Opposition leaders have dubbed it the "party of swindlers and thieves" and its majority in parliament was cut sharply in the December 2011 election that set off the wave of protests.
