2013 Volcom Pipe Pro: Day 1 Highlights
After a few "lei days" here on the North Shore of Oahu, the Volcom Pipe Pro (a $130,000 WQS 5* event) kicked off in draining 4-6 foot barrels (with the occasional 8-footer) at the Banzai. With a growing West/Northwest swell conditions were ideal for both Pipe and Backdoor.
Day 1 standouts included Makua Rothman, JD Irons, Kawai Lindo, and 16-year old Oahu phenom Josh Moniz. Makua Rothman used both Backdoor and Pipe to win his heat, but had some extra motivation, "Bra, I couldn't let my little brother Koa do better than me," he said. His brother Koa advanced through the round of 112 battle, but Makua had the highest heat score of the morning with 16.86 points. Young Josh Moniz was equally as stoked after beating veterans Sean Moody, Roy Powers, and Maui's Makena Elogram. His Dad, Tony, was a big time pro in the 80s and apparently the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree. Watch out for this kid in the future...
JD Irons (cousin to Andy and Bruce Irons) won the sponsor wildcard round with a scrappy performance, beating out Pipeline locals Dave Wassel, Mark Healey, Gavin Beschen, Tom Dosland, and Kawai Lindo. Speaking of Kawai, the lanky goofyfooter from Kauai had the wave of the day with an eight-foot bomb that barfed him out into the channel to the cheers of the beach and team houses. For his efforts, Kawai netted $1,000 from Electric for the "Electric 10-Point Ride." Unfortunately for Kawai, his 10-pointer wasn't enough to get through, and JD will be pitted against the higher-ranked seeds when in the next round.
With the higher seeds entering the draw and a quickly building swell, tomorrow figures to be an epic day of competition here at Pipeline.
ASP Press Release: Steely Day At Pipeline Signals Start Of Volcom Pipe Pro
North Shore, Oahu, HAWAII (Jan. 31, 2013) — Pipeline was not friendly today with its gray skies, an unusually chilling wind, and a gnarly lineup of shifty waves. There were the occasional flashes of blue, but it was the kind of day that could only appeal to warriors of the $130,000 Volcom Pipe Pro, and they had no hesitation getting things rolling after four days of waiting for a start. The Volcom Pipe Pro is an ASP 5-star event that runs through February 7.
Conditions were temperamental, ranging from head high to more than double-overhead, and delivered everything from mean wipeouts to a perfect 10 tube ride. Wave selection was critical and more than a few athletes struggled to find their two mandatory scores.
Waialua's Kawai Lindo experienced both sides of Pipeline's hand today, finding the only $1,000 "Electric Perfect 10" score of the day for a barrel that reeled off flawlessly. But at the end of his battle for a wildcard in a stacked heat that included Mark Healey (HI), Dave Wassel (HI), and JD Irons (HI), it still wouldn't be enough. Kauai's JD Irons trumped him to move on.
North Shore local Makuakai Rothman posted the highest two-wave heat score of the day: 16.86 points out of 20 (8.93, 7.93). His backhand tube riding was brilliant and delivered a satisfying return to the water after a recent torn calf muscle that had him couch-ridden.
"It felt great, actually," said Rothman. "It was a pretty heavy tear, blew it up, but no problem today so I'm heading home to rest up." Rothman's younger brother Koa also advanced today. Ex-pat Australian Anthony Walsh first surfed here at the Pipeline more than a decade ago, at the age of 16. He says he was hooked from that day on and is now married to a local girl and surfs Pipe whenever he can. His experience showed today and gave him an early round win.
"There's definitely good ones out there, there are tens," said Walsh "But with this wind, the backwash and a rising swell, it's definitely tricky. Putting in time out there definitely helps with knowing where to sit when it's like this or bigger." Other top scorers today included JD Irons (Kauai) – 14.93 (9.0, 7.93), Nic Von Rupp (Germany) – who came close to an Electric Perfect 10 with a needle-threading tube ride of 9.93 points, and a similarly satisfying grab-rail backside tube for Brazilian Sidney Guimaraes that saw him throw the biggest double-fisted pump of the contest so far (8.0).
With waves still rising late into tonight, organizers will reconvene at 7am tomorrow morning for a call on whether competition will resume. Seven days of the holding period remain, with three days of surfing remaining. Surfline.com reports that Pipe will be maxed out Friday morning with some sets washing through, but gradually becoming more manageable through the day as the swell eases.
Top seeds will enter the draw in the Round of 64 on the next day of competition: Kolohe Andino (Ca., USA), John John Florence (HI), Tanner Gudauskas (Ca., USA), Nat Young (Ca., USA), Jamie O'Brien (HI), Alex Gray (Ca., USA) & Josh Kerr (AUS).

Matsui was an immediate hit with the Yankees
He hit a grand slam in his first regular-season game at Yankee Stadium. Along the way, he quickly convinced a bunch of Yankees that he was the real deal. Derek Jeter liked him immediately. So did Roger Clemens and Bernie Williams and plenty of others. If they ever doubted, even for a minute, that his Japanese accomplishments would translate to success in the United States, they soon became convinced otherwise.
Still, that's not the thing they remember about Matsui, who announced his retirement on Thursday after 10 seasons in the Major Leagues, including seven with the Yankees. Matsui, 38, was an accomplished Yankee, averaging 28 doubles and 20 home runs a season. He didn't miss a game his first three seasons and was a two-time All-Star. He was also a World Series Most Valuable Player for hitting .615 in the 2009 Fall Classic.
Inside the Yankee clubhouse, he left another legacy. That was his personality and his sense of humor and his humility. It's unlikely any Yankees player has ever tried hard to be a good teammate and to fit into the fabric of the clubhouse. As Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner said in a statement, "Hideki Matsui, in many ways, embodied what this organization stands for."
Upon learning of Matsui's retirement, Jeter released a statement calling him one of his favorite teammates. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman added, "People naturally gravitated towards him, and that's a direct reflection of his character."
Matsui's humor and grace extended off the field, too. In those first years, he was covered by a contingent of Japanese reporters that sometimes numbered more than three dozen. Matsui worked hard to be accommodating to the reporters while also attempting not to be disruptive to his teammates as they went about the business of preparing themselves to play.
He'd been a rock star of sorts in Japan. In the United States, though, he was a rookie trying to prove himself. He understood the difference.
The Yankees surely would tell you they got everything out of his seven seasons. He helped the Bronx Bombers win their 27th championship, but he also introduced the franchise to the millions of Japanese baseball fans.
He made the pinstripes cool in Tokyo, and in doing so, he gave American fans a reminder of good the baseball in Japan is. Matsui said his decision to retire, which came after he hit .147 in 34 games for the Rays last season, was based on the reality that he simply couldn't do things the way he'd done them when he was younger.
Matsui's enduring star power was on display Thursday in Manhattan, when an estimated 60 Japanese reporters showed up for his retirement announcement. He decided to walk away even though he said several Japanese teams had offered him a chance to play.
During his 10 seasons with the Yomiuri Giants, he seemed a sure bet to manage once his playing career ended. If that ends up happening, the Yankees who played with him, coached him and admired him wouldn't be surprised.
He carried himself with the confidence of a great athlete, but as Cashman said, he was a personal magnetism that would make him a natural fit for a leadership position. For now, let's savor his 10 seasons in the United States.
He was a guy who worked hard to be at his best when the stakes were the highest. He was also a guy who understood that good teams are composed largely of players who put the team first and who understand what's really important in the grind of a nine-month season.
Matsui won't be remembered as the greatest Yankee who ever lived. He just was a guy who produced some special moments and was absolutely beloved by the people who knew him best. As legacies go, that's about as good as it gets.

Warning: this smells incredible while it slow cooks all day!
Pulled pork is one of those dishes you can serve all year round. It's perfect for pot lucks or large gatherings because you can feed a crowd without slaving in the kitchen. I came up with this leaner version using boneless pork tenderloin and homemade BBQ sauce which gave me complete control of what was added.
I'm not a fan of pulled pork that is swimming in sauce, so I use just enough to flavor the pork along with the reserved juices of the pork and serve the extra sauce on the side. I found these delicious whole wheat potato rolls, only 100 calories/2 points plus by Martin's. and made a simple slaw with a little vinegar, salt and a touch of olive oil and it was a perfect meal.
I used the smallest loin I could find since I was making this for my family. Depending on the size of your pork loin, you will have to alter how much BBQ sauce to add. Keep in mind the pork shrinks after it is cooked, so you will want to weigh it cooked. I basically added 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce for every 3 ounces of cooked pork along with some of the reserved juices from the pork. (If your kids don't like BBQ sauce, set some of the pork on the side for them before adding it back to the crock pot)
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
Servings: 8 • Size: 3 oz pork + 2 tbsp sauce • Old Points: 5 pts • Points+: 5 pt*
Calories: 206 • Fat: 5.5 g • Carb: 12.3 g • Fiber: 0.6 g • Protein: 26.4 g • Sugar: 10.2 g
Sodium: 554.1 mg
- 2.5 lb boneless pork loin roast (center cut, trimmed of all fat)
- 2 tsp red wine vinegar
- 2 tsp Hickory liquid smoke
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 cup Homemade Kansas City BBQ Sauce
Place pork in the slow cooker and season with salt, vinegar, garlic powder and liquid smoke. Cover and set to high 6 hours. Remove pork and transfer onto a large dish; reserve all the liquid into a cup and set aside.
Shred the pork with two forks and put it back into the slow cooker along with about 3/4 cup of the reserved liquid and the BBQ sauce (for every 3 oz cooked pork, I used 2 tbsp BBQ sauce). Cook on high one more hour.
*Nutritional info is for pork only, bread is extra.

Now it was a little funny earlier this year when a high level person at Rich King* Casting started quoting sub-minimum wages for extras in that new Contagion movie starring, I don't know, everybody, you know, these people right here (and let's throw in Famous Movie Director Steven Soderbergh too – he's a luminary as well):
But then somebody, no not somebody from the local Film Commish and not any MSM reporters (who don't seem to be aware of what the minimum wage is in the place where they live and work), but somebody up here in the 415 got word down to Los Angeles County about The Law 'n stuff.
So fine, the RKC people changed their minds and decided to pay extras "$80" for up to eight hours (and then they finally did the math and decided that $79.36 would be the wage, cause, you know, después de todos, dinero es dinero.)
But now word comes that RKC thinks it's OK to pay people up to six weeks** later?
And the extras still haven't all been paid?
And RKC is ignoring contact attempts from said extras?
Could all this be true?
Well let's hear from a Real Life Contagion Extra:
"I got in the film as well, but its now mid April, and I have not seen the payment in the 6 weeks that the casting company stated. Got my work receipt right here – would be nice if someone from this casting agency would follow up with my contact attempts.
"It was still a really cool day either way. I got to see an amazing set up of the set @ Candlestick and didn't mind standing/sitting around all day. That is what background extras do. All of these girls were being very rude that day saying "when are we going to meet the stars", and "I can't believe they are making us stand around", and "come on! I wan't to be in the movie already!! Shortly after one of the assistants heard those remarks, our group was dismissed for the afternoon. It is like they never listened to what they told us at the casting meeting at Fort Mason, or the information the casting directors told us over the phone when they offered us the part. I did not get an email confirmation after that day, but a personal phone call.
"Would be nice to see my check, but I will give them a bit more time to respond since I bet the other 5,000 are hounding them as well. I mean come on – I am on unemployment – it would be nice to have the $79 bucks right now, but I can wait a bit"
Now, isn't it ironic, dont'cha think, that a company what has a cavalier attitude about at least one kind of wage and hour rule would drag its feet about making payments? (Well, maybe not, in my experience.)
Anyway, all you non-union extras ought to form a union or something so you can start playing hardball with the Hollywood vanga vanga.
So why don't you pay all your extras ASAP, Rich King Casting? Like posthaste or something.
Now, speaking of Hollywood, wouldn't you like to see a list of all the movies that Steven Soderbergh has seen the past twelve months? Sure you would. See it after the jump.
*Forget about Obama's birth certificate – I want to see the one with "Rich King" printed on it, and oh, Sandy Beach too, I want to see one of those as well – I think Hollywood still has a few guys around with that name.
**I should make a horror film – it'll be about the horrors of Regular People dealing with Hollywood People. It'll be called 42 Days Later.

People with metabolic syndrome are at increased risk of:
Metabolic syndrome is believed to be due to a combination of:
- Genetic factors, which you inherit from your family
- Environmental factors such as diet and physical activity level
The more risk factors you have for metabolic syndrome, the greater your likelihood of developing it. The risk of having metabolic syndrome also increases with age. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
Examples of these risk factors include:
- Ethnicity—Mexican American women, Caucasians, and African Americans have a higher risk.
- Obesity—You are more likely to develop many of the underlying conditions of metabolic syndrome if you are overweight, especially if that extra weight is around your waist or if your obesity began at a young age.
Having disorders or conditions associated with metabolic disorder such as:
- Type 2 or gestational diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Cholesterol problems
- Coronary artery disease—A heart condition where the arteries that supply blood to the heart narrow, increasing the chances of a heart attack.
- Polycystic ovary syndrome—A hormonal disorder that occurs when a woman produces an excess of male hormones.
- Genetics
- Physical inactivity
- Poor diet—Eating a diet high in calories, sugar, saturated fats, and starchy foods and eating a diet low in dietary fiber increases your risk.
- Unhealthy habits, such as smoking
- Certain medications, such as atypical antipsychotics
