Medicine's deadly gender gap
by Anne Kingston for Macleans
New research on pain, medical devices and even PMS reveals big holes in our knowledge of the female body.
In 2004, Barbara Colbourn began experiencing pain in her legs when walking. The 61-year-old London, Ont., office manager tried to ignore the discomfort at first. Six months later, she went to her doctor, who diagnosed peripheral artery disease, or PAD. Colbourn had never heard of it—and was shocked to learn it was a chronic disease caused by atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, of the legs, feet or arms that puts people at higher risk of stroke, heart attack and death.
When she was asked to participate in a 24-week international treatment trial organized by London clinical trials nurse Marge Lovell, a PAD awareness advocate, she agreed. Like many women over 60, Colbourn's health concerns were fixated on breast cancer and heart disease. "Hardening of the arteries was something my grandma had," she says.
Now 69, Colbourn takes baby aspirin and a cholesterol-lowering drug and exercises daily to prevent the disease's progression and stave off invasive surgery. There were warning signs she ignored, she says. She had to give up curling in her 50s because her feet were always cold. "Never in my wildest dreams did I think it could be serious."
Just how serious was made clear in a study in the January 2012 American Heart Association journal Circulation: it called PAD an unsung "pandemic" that afflicts more women than men, contrary to previous assumptions. Research in women has lagged behind, says cardiologist Alan Hirsch, a professor at the University of Minnesota medical school who chaired the study. Just as heart disease manifests itself differently in women, so does PAD, says Hirsch, whose study revealed that women with PAD, which afflicts some 800,000 Canadians, are more likely than men to have a limb amputated.
Diagnosed by a simple test that compares arm blood pressure to leg blood pressure, PAD is the "most common, deadly and costly cardiovascular disease that the public hasn't heard of," says Hirsch; in 90 per cent of cases, it's asymptomatic. That so few women have heard of PAD doesn't surprise Hirsch, who says women have been routinely overlooked in vascular research: "It is embarrassing how many hypertension, lipid studies, and stent trials were done with low [female] enrolment. Every vascular disease I know of except aortic aneurysm is more common in women—venous diseases, lymphedema, PAD—yet we don't know why and we don't talk about it."
A lot of recent research exposes how little we know about the XX body. A report in the February 2010Annals of Internal Medicine found that women with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are more likely than men to develop complications. The reason? Testing was done primarily on men, who tend to be physically larger. Stephanie Brister, a surgeon at Toronto's Peter Munk Cardiac Centre and one of the report's investigators, would like to see women-only randomized clinical trials for ICDs, though she's not optimistic. "It's not cost-effective," she says. "More likely we'll try to increase the number of women, then hopefully we'll have a substantial representation with real information."
It may not seem that surprising to many that women have been so overlooked in vascular research. After all, it wasn't until 2003 that the American Heart Association issued separate guidelines for women based on the fact that heart disease manifests itself differently in each sex. More shocking are the holes in our fundamental knowledge. A Stanford University School of Medicine study in the January Journal of Pain, for instance, found women reported more intense pain than men in virtually every disease category, and recommended stronger efforts to recruit women in clinical studies to find out why.
And the biggest eye-opener: emerging research suggests our entrenched assumption about PMS transforming women into erratic harridans is based on research that didn't even use women. Rather, to peg hormone levels to mood, most researchers have used theoretical "menstrual cycle phases" which can be wildly imprecise given vast differences between individual women, says neuroscientist Gillian Einstein, a professor at the University of Toronto. Einstein is one of six female authors of a study, "The Role of Ovarian Hormones in Daily Mood," which was presented as an abstract at the Society for Neuroscience conference in Washington last November.
Measuring women's reported moods directly with their estrus cycles, they found a correlation between mood and hormonal levels exists, but that mood fluctuations are more linked to stress levels and general physical health. The research, which has yet to be published, could be groundbreaking—and not only in ending PMS jokes. It paves the way for a new understanding of half of the population.
The female body has been subject to rapt scrutiny for millennia—in painting, poetry, even beer commercials. But in terms of scientific research, women remain an unmapped continent. That may seem improbable given the seemingly relentless focus on "women's health": nine editions of Our Bodies, Ourselves, pink-ribbon campaigns, advances in breast-cancer screening technology, an HPV vaccine, government-funded studies. Yet female under-representation in scientific research mirrors that in politics and executive suites, with two significant differences: it puts women's health directly at risk; and it limits our scientific knowledge.
The imbalance has been discussed for decades, notably in Rebecca Dresser's landmark 1992 essay, "Wanted: Single, White Male for Medical Research" (one of her examples is a pilot project studying the role of obesity in breast and uterine cancer that featured only white men). The bias is "nakedly discriminatory," Dresser wrote, given the knowledge that even "gender-neutral" conditions—heart disease, depression, AIDS—manifest differently in men and women. Twenty years later, the gap remains, despite legislation in the U.S. and less enforceable "guidelines" in Canada. As Anne Zajicek, a clinical pharmacologist at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), put it in 2010: "Things have been tested in 70-kilo, 22-year-old men since forever, basically."
Back in the 1980s, the NIH established a policy that all research it funds must include female subjects when appropriate; Congress made it law in 1994. In 2000, when Canada's scientific funding body, the Canadian Institute of Health Research (CIHR), was founded, so too was an Institute for Gender and Health. Joy Johnson, scientific director of the latter institute, says there's a long way to go in terms of educating people about the importance of studying differences in sex and gender, but she's optimistic: "My experience has been that once you make the case and explain that this is not ideologically driven, that this is about good science, then people get it."
Yet even with more women being included in trials, we don't have good data, Johnson says, because sex-specific results don't have to be reported separately. That's also the case in the U.S., where a 2010 Institute of Medicine report concluded that progress in women's health has been slowed as a result. A 2011 study from George Washington University spells it out: average enrolment of women in clinical trials rose to 37 per cent between 1995 and 2010. But only 28 per cent of publications referred to sex/gender-specific results.
Hirsch blames an entrenched status quo for some of the bias: "Middle-aged white male physicians have not made the effort to make clinical trials representative—whether it's women, Native Americans, immigrants. We tend as clinicians to recruit people who look like us and speak the language we speak." Ruth Faden, executive director of the John Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics, has put it more bluntly: "Scientists need to realize women are not men without penises."
Even the influx of female doctors and scientists hasn't made a dent in some fields. Stephanie Brister says that when she started as a cardiac surgeon 25 years ago, only 20 per cent of her patients were female. That hasn't changed, despite awareness campaigns. "It's retrograde," says Brister. "For 25 years we've been trying to get the message out that more women should be [given] more aggressive treatment because if they are, they do well. Yes, the risk might be higher than for men, but it's not so high that it negates the benefit [for women]."
A similar gender imbalance exists in surgery referrals for osteoarthritis, a condition afflicting far more women than men. A 2008 study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal that sent a man and a woman with moderate osteoarthritis to 67 different physicians found that orthopaedic surgeons were 22 times more likely to recommend surgery to a man than a woman and that GPs were twice as likely to recommend surgery to a man.
The issue is complex, Brister says. One of the limitations of her ICD study was that researchers couldn't determine whether doctors use different criteria to refer men and women to cardiologists. "It's hard to sort out whether it's a referral bias or a protocol bias, even in drug trials," she says. "Perhaps women aren't interested in participating—maybe they have too many demands. Or they're not available for follow-up. It's not clear."
Janine Austin Clayton, the acting director of the NIH's Office of Research on Women's Health in Bethesda, Md., sees the medical gender gap as systemic. "I don't believe it's a malevolent exclusion in most cases," she says. It begins in basic science, she adds, where tissues and animals studied are predominately male. A 2009 report in Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews looked at nearly 2,000 animal studies and found a bias toward the use of male animals in eight of 10 disciplines: neuroscientists used 5.5 males for every one female, pharmacologists used five and physiologists used 3.7. And though women are twice as likely to be diagnosed with major depression, fewer than 45 per cent of animal studies on these disorders used females.
The reason? Using male rats is easier, faster and less expensive. They don't have an estrus cycle, they don't get pregnant, they cost less than female rats and they offer more bang for the buck by providing both Y and X chromosomes. Testing on females is not commensurate with doing science as science is set up, Einstein says—where you have one variable and everything else is kept constant. To properly figure out where a female lab rat is in her estrus cycle, for example, a researcher must go into the rodent colony and do a vaginal smear every single day.
The biggest complication women bring, of course, is also the biggest sex difference: pregnancy. After DES and thalidomide given to pregnant women in the 1950s and '60s caused birth defects, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned any woman who could become pregnant from participating in clinical trials in 1977, then revoked the ruling in 1993 under pressure from women's groups. Yet unless a trial specifically mandates female participation—say, testing a new birth control pill—pharmaceutical companies have little motivation to recruit women due to fear of litigation related to pregnancy or breastfeeding risks.
As a result, women remain unknowing medical guinea pigs in some areas. One problem is the fact that a "standard" dose for a man can be excessive in a woman. Also, female QT, or heart rhythm, is slower (we don't know why), which makes certain drugs—antipsychotics, antibiotics, even heart medications—that prolong the QT rate more dangerous for women. The FDA removed 10 drugs from the market for safety reasons between 1997 and 2001; eight posed greater risks to women.
Yet women are routinely prescribed more drugs than men. A study presented last month at Women's Health 2012: The 20th Annual Congress in Washington found that women are prescribed an average of five medications, compared to 3.7 for men, even after accounting for prescription contraceptives. It also found women are less likely to be prescribed drugs according to clinical guidelines, or "off-label."
Attitudes to studying sex and gender in medicine are changing, says Einstein, pointing to the example of high-profile scientist Irving Zucker decrying the male-animal bias in the June 2010 Nature. "When it was just women talking about it, it didn't make a difference," she says wryly. Governments are also making noise. Last December, the FDA released a draft guideline recommending sex-specific analyses and calling for more women in clinical studies. Canada, which takes its regulatory cues from the U.S., followed suit.
Last year, the CIHR ruled all funding applicants must say whether they're investigating both sex- and gender-related factors in the research and, if not, why not. In January, Health Canada sent out a draft of a policy paper, "Considerations for Inclusion of Women in Clinical Trials and Analysis of Data by Sex," for feedback. The first update of the paper since 1997 has broadened its scope to include women of all ages, as well as more therapeutic products. Still, critics contend it's toothless. "It's not enough," says scientist Abby Lippman, a professor emeritus at McGill University. "Plans to 'suggest' but not make mandatory the inclusion of women and the treatment of all data with intersectional analyses are not likely to fill the holes that need filling in our knowledge."
One of the biggest gaps surrounds pregnant women, says Françoise Baylis, a professor of bioethics and philosophy at Dalhousie University and an advocate for including pregnant women in clinical trials. "Pregnant women get sick and sick women get pregnant," she says. "And we have a moral obligation to recognize that women are as entitled to health care while they're pregnant as when they're not." Without research, you can't give good advice, she says, citing the H1N1 vaccine as an example of pregnant women being prescribed a medication that hadn't been tested on pregnant women.
"If you were pregnant and your doctor told you to take it, wouldn't you have rather been told 'This works' or 'This doesn't work?' " she asks. Baylis is working on proposals that would allow pregnant women to be integrated into trials after safety and efficacy have been established, though getting regulators, scientists, corporations and women on side will be a challenge, she says, noting Health Canada's new draft guidelines provide vague "initial guidance" on the inclusion of pregnant and breastfeeding women in trials.
Pregnant women use a swath of medications, many of which are untested on them, says Barbara Mintzes, an assistant professor of pharmacology and therapeutics at the University of British Columbia. Mintzes, who believes testing on pregnant women is ethical but urges caution, is concerned about creating an incentive to extend the marketing of unnecessary products. "There should be good suggestive evidence that a treatment is going to have a real benefit in pregnancy before starting a randomized trial," she says, noting that 12 per cent of pregnant women are prescribed selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) for depression "off-label," even though limited scientific evidence suggests that neither pregnant women nor their babies benefit.
Studying sex differences provides new insight into disease, says the NIH's Clayton, an ophthalmologist. Women comprise two-thirds of the visually impaired or blind population worldwide, she says: "We know autoimmune eye diseases are more common in women. What's less known is that retinal diseases are too. We don't know why. Age is a risk factor for ocular diseases, but that doesn't account for all of the difference."
Mapping the female brain is also rich uncharted terrain, says Einstein, that could provide vital clues into Alzheimer's, which afflicts more women than men. Wilder Penfield's famous "homunculus" brain map is based only on men; a corresponding "her-munculus" doesn't exist. "We don't know how the female brain changes with the ovulatory cycle and age," she says. "We're already seeing evidence that ovaries are playing a protective role, even post-menopause." Walter Rocca, a professor of neurology and epidemiology at the Mayo Clinic, has found women who have their ovaries removed prior to natural menopause have a higher risk of all causes of death.
The power of estrogens has been vastly underrated, says Einstein, who believes they've been given a "bum rap" by science, especially after hormone replacement (HRT) trials were shut down in 2002 when estrogen and progestin taken together were found to increase the risks for heart disease and breast cancer. Subsequent studies, including one in the April 2011 Journal of the American Medical Association, found estrogen-only HRT actually reduced the risks of heart attack and breast cancer. Yet getting funding to study estrogens remains difficult, she says: "They're treated like a toxic chemical." It's an attitude based on ignorance, she adds. "It irks me when people say that estrogen is a female hormone. It's also incredibly important in males."
Einstein's currently at work on a "re-theorizing" of women's health, investigating biological and societal factors. The biomedical model in place now is a car-mechanic model, she says: "If something's wrong with the carburetor, you replace it." But that approach doesn't work as well on chronic "autoimmune" conditions—multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis—which are far more common in women. Studying women can teach us a lot about the treatment of and care for chronic diseases, which place far more of a burden on the health care system, she says.
It could also yield new measurements for subjective complaints dismissed as "psychological" because they don't match objective measures based on men, such as poor sleep. "More women than men complain of poor sleep, but when they have [a sleep study], their sleep architecture is fine, so people interpret it as women just complaining when maybe the measurement isn't what it should be."
A call to action is required, says Hirsch, who cites PAD as an example: "If women got the message, attitudes would change within one or two years because women would demand it." Women's risk of breast cancer is one in 11, and women can't imagine not being screened, he says. "But the risk of PAD is higher and no one is warning them. Women should be aghast." He has a point. But for women—and men—to be aghast requires knowing what we don't know. Barbara Colbourn, for one, says her PAD diagnosis has made her more militant about her health. "We don't know enough," she says. Even knowing that is a starting point.

Beat Cravings With These Foods
By Isadora Baum
We know the drill. You always feel hungry, constantly think about what your next snack or meal will be, or have the munchies for a sugary donut, salty chip, or gooey cheesy pizza because you're tired, stressed out. Luckily, there are some types of foods that can actually curb your appetite for longer stretches and keep the munchies at bay so that you don't resort to that 990 calorie frozen mocha latte.
If afternoon cravings are an issue, grabbing a cup of tea or coffee can help. "Caffeine has been shown to decrease the feeling of hunger among dieters and improve their tolerance to starting a diet," Davis says. But, "just make sure not to load it up with high fat, high sugar add-ins," warns registered dietician Lauren Harris-Pincus. The sugar especially can stimulate appetite, so you lose the benefits of the caffeine. Having a cup should do the job—too much can result in anxiety and jumpiness—but you should pay attention to your body first to decide when to cease consumption, she says. People differ in tolerance, so while someone might be able to drink a cup at 4 p.m, others might need to cut back starting at noon.
Plus, "while coffee is a natural appetite suppressant, for some people this may result in eating less at breakfast and finding yourself hungry sooner than you expected. Therefore, if you consume coffee in the morning, try pairing it with eggs," says nutritionist Jennifer Insel.
Be sure to incorporate fats "like those from fatty fish, nuts and seeds, avocado and healthy oils," which are "slow to digest and help increase feelings of fullness," says Kacie Vavrek, registered dietitian at Wexner Medical Center.
Chia seeds in particular, which contain omega-3 fats, "are a fantastic way to curb your appetite," says Harris-Pincus. "They absorb approximately 10 times their weight in water, so they fill you up and keep you satisfied longer. Add them to smoothies, oatmeal, baked goods, yogurt or your cereal bowl."
VEGETABLES & FRUIT
Yes, mom was right (again) about eating your vegetables. Because fresh produce is packed with fiber and high in water content, it fills you up and keeps you satisfied, explains Natalie Stephens, a registered dietitian at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. Research suggests that a type of soluble fiber known as ursolic acid, found in apples, prunes, and herbs such as basil and oregano, promotes muscle development and fat burning. Plus, ursolic acid has also been shown to regulate appetite and increase satiety.
What's more, "fiber has great volume without adding calories, so it stimulates stretch receptors in our stomachs that tell us we're full," says Structure House dietician Benjamin White. "It stabilizes blood sugar responses to carbs, so we can avoid the 'crashes' after eating that are usually associated with greater appetite, more cravings and general grumpiness."
Some good choices that are especially high in fiber and water content, include celery, tomatoes, bell peppers, watermelon, grapefruit, cucumbers and zucchini. Of course, all fruits and vegetables are super heart-healthy and slimming, so incorporating a medley at each meal can really help you achieve your wellness goals.
BEANS & STARCHY VEGETABLES
Fiber-rich beans, legumes, and starchy vegetables are slow digesting and naturally suppress appetite. Legumes are also a good source of protein, White says. He recommends snacking on roasted, crunchy beans. "You can also add beans or lentils to lots of dishes, use them as salad toppers, or as the foundation for soups or dips," he adds.
"If you are trying to curb your appetite, think about spicing up your diet. Several studies show that adding chili peppers to food helps to decrease appetite and reduce food intake," nutrition expert Dr. Lisa Davis tells Clean Plates. "When you pair appetite control with the boost in energy expenditure chili peppers are also known for, having a bottle of Tabasco sauce around might be the easiest diet strategy you ever tried."
Good news if you enjoy scrambled eggs for breakfast: Research shows that eggs can suppress ghrelin, the "hunger hormone," and increase production of two other hormones that can increase satiety.
Plus, they're high in protein. "Protein is digested the slowest and will, therefore, keep you feeling full throughout the day," Vavrek says, so be sure to get enough all day.
"At lunch and dinner, aim for filling one-quarter of your plate with protein, and for snacks or an on-the-go breakfast, opt for a hard-cooked egg or food that contains nut butter," suggests registered dietician Jessie Shafer, editor-in- chief of Delicious Living magazine.
"Eating whole grains, such as rye, steel-cut oatmeal, pumpernickel, and quinoa, as opposed to white or refined grains, may help you stay fuller longer," because they're rich in fiber, Insel says.
And if you're having a bowl of oatmeal or another grain, "try replacing any use of milk with unsweetened almond or cashew milk, as these milks are slower digesting than dairy milk, because of their lack of lactose," she adds.
OTHER WAYS TO AVOID THE HUNGRIES
Distraction: One way to curb hunger is to distract yourself and wait it out, to determine if it's really hunger that's driving your desire to eat. "Take a shower, go for a brisk walk or fold the laundry," Davis says. "Distracting yourself for about 20 minutes is enough time to allow the craving to pass." Chewing gum can also help; research suggests that gum chewing can suppress hunger and snack cravings.
Water: Vavrek also recommends drinking plenty of fluids throughout the day, such as water or tea. "Water helps to fill your stomach up so that there is less room for solid food," she says. "Thirst is also often confused with hunger or food cravings, so consuming adequate fluids throughout the day can control portions consumed and help prevent overeating while also contributing to hydration status."
Eat Often: Try having 4 to 6 small meals and snacks daily. "Having regular meals and snacks will help to prevent blood sugar drops, which can increase hunger and lead to poor food choices," Vavrek says. "We tend to 'lose control' when we're hungry."
Chew: Follow the "many bite rule," Shafer suggests. "Perception can be reality, especially when it comes to how your bites of food relate to your fullness levels. Nutrient-dense foods, such as veggie- and protein-topped salads, avocado-topped toast, or air-popped popcorn, force you to take more bites."
Sleep: "Regular sleep disruption increases the hormone ghrelin, the body's resistance to insulin, and results in greater appetite and a tendency to overeat," White warns. "Fortunately, reestablishing a regular sleep schedule helps restore hormonal balance."

Non-Self as the Revolutionary Praxis of Anonymous
[No Self, Not Self and 18 Forms of Emptiness, Pt. 2]
Since Buddhism has arrived in the west in the age of post-modernism, neo-liberalism and global capitalism, it's time that we put aside traditionalist dharma born in the Iron Age of the Near East. We need to liberate buddhemes such as no self, emptiness and karma from their status as devotional relics and repurpose them as revolutionary praxis for the hyper-linked, hyper-textual age.
The push-back against the global corporate state has moved past identity politics and the notoriety of the individual activist. It has evolved into the anonymous post-identity of hacktivist groups like Anonymous, Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army (CIRCA), and the masked feminist protest group, Pussy Riot. These groups use mask to hide their individual identities and amplify their solidarity as a group. Masked anonymity is redeployed as a revolutionary non-self.
We Interrupt this Message
"We are Anonymous and we are everywhere—you just never know where we're going to show up next." The revolutionary performative is deeply collective and marks the group as dissident. Yet it can also be deployed anonymously and virally, until it emerges as a disruption of the expected. The revolutionary as masked non-self unleashes the courage of the hacktivist to boldly confront armed police and fascist regimes.
Anonymous pioneered the use of the V for Vendetta mask to hide the individual identities of group members. Besides shielding activists from police surveillance, it also works as a performative non-self as protest.
Hacking is the insertion of a shocking substitute message for the expected 'real' one at a site of networked distribution. Anonymous hacks into global computer and surveillance systems to disrupt commerce, government surveillance, and retrieve high-security information.
The Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army (CIRCA) is a United Kingdom-based anti-authoritarian left-wing activist group that uses clowning and non-violent tactics to act against corporate globalisation, war, and on other issues. (Wikipedia).
Pussy Riot, a Russian feminist punk band, engages in forms of anonymous protest. All the members of the band wear a balaclava for their public performances, which, although it masks their individual identities, strengthens the impact of their collective protest. They use shocking performance to uncover structures of power, disrupt relations of oppression, and scream for a liberated, autonomous yet relational form of life. They devise performances that use common tropes (punk rock) in ordinary environments (church), yet remix and reinterpret them to shock audiences into the realization of their place in the power structure and the possibility of liberation.

Justice Kennedy: A Wretched Jurist, and a Treacherous Catholic with Blood on His Hands -- May President Trump Learn from President Reagan's Mistake
Contact: Michael Veritas, 304-289-3700
WASHINGTON, June 27, 2018 /Christian Newswire/ -- Randall Terry, Founder of Operation Rescue, and Host of Voice of Resistance, Issues the following statement regarding the resignation of Justice Kennedy:
When President Reagan appointed Anthony Kennedy to the Supreme Court, our hearts were high with hope that the scourge of Roe vs. Wade would soon be overturned.
Instead, the blood of innocent babies continued to be shed after Kennedy betrayed God and His innocent children by affirming Roe in Planned Parenthood vs.Casey.
Because of Kennedy's treachery to God, the babies, and his oath before God to uphold the U.S. constitution, tens of millions of babies have been discarded in sewers and landfills, where their blood cries to God for vengeance, and cries as a witness against Justice Kennedy, and all his comrades in judicial fiats.
Kennedy then confirmed his audacious belligerence against God and man by overturning the laws of nearly all 50 states regarding the definition of marriage. His Obergefell opinion was - as Justice Scalia declared - a "judicial Putsch;" a literal overthrow of the system of laws and traditions that define America as a nation of laws. With Kennedy in the lead, Americans became the subjects of tyrants.
As Justice Scalia Stated:
"This practice of constitutional revision by an unelected committee of nine, always accompanied (as it is today) by extravagant praise of liberty, robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776: the freedom to govern themselves."
Kennedy's Judas-like betrayal of eternal Truth insured that Americans will not be allowed to govern themselves as "one nation under God," and that those who seek to do so will be considered the enemy of the new hedonist orthodoxy.
As Justice Alito stated:
"Today's decision usurps the constitutional right of the people to decide whether to keep or alter the traditional understanding of marriage...It will be used to vilify Americans who are unwilling to assent to the new orthodoxy...I assume that those who cling to old beliefs will be able to whisper their thoughts in the recesses of their homes, but if they repeat those views in public, they will risk being labeled as bigots and treated as such by governments, employers, and schools."
Mr. Terry concludes:
We would do well to remember that of the four sins that cry to God for vengeance, the "shedding of innocent blood" is first, and "sodomy" is second. If America reaps the judgment it beckons, Justice Kennedy could find himself in the front row of the guilty defendants appearing before God's Judgment Seat where Kennedy's Supreme Court opinions and rulings will only serve as a witnesses against his immortal soul.

Unless you're willing to go second hand, and most likely pay a prmium. This is probably you're only option if you don't want a plain black one. The Men in Burning Red.
Edit - this site still has a few in stock.

That white Riseman looks awesome!
Please stop posting anymore photos, you'll all make me buy another G !
I think these look ace, and I really like the GPS feature. But it's a little more than I'm willing to spend on a G at the moment. I hope you enjoy yours.
That's all you need. Love it!
Never owned a G, or even tried one on, but I keep thinking I should. I do worry about the size of most of them and with the digi displays I hate that the date format is stuck on MM-DD. Perhaps then an analogue G is the way to go, but not one of the bulkier designs.
with the digi displays I hate that the date format is stuck on MM-DD.
That annoys me too. It should be technically trivial for them to make it alterable.
Perhaps the growth of smart watches will create competitive pressure on Casio to make them re-think their MM-DD-only layout decision.
My Favourite - I never realised just how tough and robust the G-Shocks looked. Any ideas on where to best get one of these online?
Since this thread started I've been looking at a few Gshocks on Ebay, where is the best place to buy one from? As I see there's quite a few American sellers.
Can anyone advise where NOT to buy from as I hear there's a lot of fakes about, over the years ive only ever bought from Argos, but their selection is poor.
I wouldn't worry too much about fakes - I've bought plenty from Creation and Amazon over the years and all have been genuine. Usually most models apart from the really sought after limited editions can be bought much cheaper than shop rrp's.
Thanks, the two models that interest me are the DW 6600 and 6900 i had them in my teens and would like to buy them again, i cant believe the price the 6600 go for now! i must have owned ten or so Gshocks over the years, god knows where they went bin i think after some of the pushers failed.
Edit; Just had a look at Creation great selection and good prices, thanks RobDad.

It really depends on what you want. If you want the Japan only models, then you will need to go through either Seiya Japan, Creation Watches or Shopping in Japan.net. I've used Seiya and Shopiing in Japan without any issues at all. Creation is well respected on this forum, as I'm sure you know.
If you want to buy from the UK, Goldsmiths have a decent selection. You can also try Amazon, where the normal/standards models can be had as a saving.
If your in London you can also visit the G-Shock shops in Covent Garden or Brick Lane.
Otherwise eBay is ok for second hand models. Only the really rare models are faked. Run of the mill models will not often be faked.
You can buy direct from casio in the UK, from their casio online UK shop. I have bought a couple of limited edition G Shocks from the at RRP from them, good quick service.
Also bought a few from hennie Haynes, great service and good deals.
Cheers guys, just looking at the smaller retro models for now 6600, 6900 found Creation have the 6900 at a decent price.
I would like one of those composite bracelets that I've seen on some of the watches, can anyone advise where or are they still available to buy.
Which model is this Rod? I have an orange 3500 Aviator but the lack of second hand bugs me more than I ever thought possible! I need an analogue G that's solar, multi-band and has a second hand, so this fits the bill perfectly!
Thanks very much. It's a cracker.
What's the sensor all about?
Pressure sensor for barometer and altitude functions.
I believe these GPW-1000RAF are made only for the UK market and limited to 500 so I had to pay full RRP of £850, if you don't care about the RAF connection there are other models available in the GPW-1000 range.
Love the red 5000, awesome!
I have just pulled the trigger on a GW-9300-1JF Mudman from Creation. My first G Shock and my first Creation order too. Solar and atomic were my main requirements - there seemed to be cheaper ways to gain these features but I wasn't fond of the G-Lide aesthetics and nor did I want an analog dial.
This is going to be a new DIY/gardening/stag weekend beater. Lately I have been using the term 'beater' in reference to my Orange Monster, but not sure that it will ever be so out of favour that I am willing to cover it in mud, paint and beer!
New picture of my G from yersterday's camp.
I wonder if I really need anything else sometimes.
Deepsea_Dweller, welcome aboard. From your posts on G-Shock Zone I know you've got plenty more than that 1 Froggy. Get them posted on here as well.
After seeing gw5000 I'm tempted by them! I've got a gw5600bc. Is it worth getting the gw5000 considering they r so similar to each other?
The GW-5000 compared to the GW-Ms is much more solidly built, having a steel case and case back. Functionally they are almost identical - but for me the 5000 is THE best G out there.

"From which" is speaking of the words of verse 4 which included "love from a pure heart," "a good conscience," and "sincere faith." It is these "from which some" have strayed. The term, here translated as "having strayed," is a word used three times, all by Paul, and only in 1 & 2 Timothy. It means specifically, "off target." It is a deviating from God's target (a line) by walking off of that line. It further "emphasizes the divine disapproval that goes with walking 'off (God's) line'" (HELPS Word Studies).
What we are being presented here are true Christians, some may even have been once sound teachers, but they have strayed off of the right path. This must be true because if they were not true Christians, then the elders would have no authority over them. But Paul has told Timothy that he is to correct their ways. The intent is to bring them back to the correct line, and to bring them back to a state of approval in accord with God's will.
For now though, the reason for their departure is that they "have turned aside to idle talk." Here Paul uses a noun found only here in Scripture, which is well-translated as "idle talk." It is that which is vain and foolish, like a random babbler. It is the use of words which are unproductive and godless. He will use the adjective form of the word in Titus 1:10.
Paul will further define what this idle talk means in the coming verse. For now, just think of the countless websites and YouTube personalities who make up stuff right out of their own heads, and which have no bearing at all on what is found in Scripture. With these new means of communication, anyone can say anything no matter how unfounded it is. And with a generation of biblically illiterate people who are hungry to be told what to do, there is always a receptive audience ready to swallow their teachings up. This was a problem all the way back at the inception of the church, it is a problem which has continued unabated until modern times, and it is a problem which has literally exploded in scope with the advent of each new type of invention which has arisen.
Life application: Today, there is almost no end to the amount of contradictory information concerning biblical teachings one can choose to listen to. The only way to avoid being completely misled by any of these misguided souls is to actually pick up your Bible and read it – constantly. The more it is read, the less likely one will be duped by crazy ideas which are put forth for public consumption.
Lord God, technology has allowed Your word to reach throughout the world. From the printing press, to the internet, to YouTube, each step has made this precious gift more and more available. But along with this, those who mishandle its precepts have been able to obtain wide audiences. And this for one particular reason – the audiences are filled with people unwilling to pick up the word and to read it for themselves. No wonder the church is in such a state of chaos. The blind are simply leading the blind. Help us, Lord God, to place a high priority on reading Your word day in and day out so that we will be able to discern that which is right from that which is wrong. Amen.
Amen, Charlie! It is sad many (including me, at one time) forget to go to the very handbook the Lord gave us for Christian living – our Bible! How better to understand how to live, as it says in Hebrews 4:12 'For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.' Talk about having divine revelation on how to live and discern what is right – the only avenue to that end is immersing ourselves in His word, daily. Thank you, pastor!
Amen Jacqui! I sure hope you have a most blessed week ahead.

Top Issues: Budget, Pandemic Relief, Election Reform
Chamber' Holds Virtual Pre- Legislative Forum
The state budget, election integrity and COVID-19 relief were among the top issues in a prelegislative forum sponsored last Thursday by the Toombs-Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce.
The forum, originally planned as a luncheon, was held online because of precautions against the health pandemic. State Sen. Blake Tillery, R-19, and State Representative Greg Morris, R-156, both of Vidalia, made statements and fielded questions from an audience joining the forum online. The forum was moderated by John Koon, continued from page
Communications Director for the Vidalia City Schools.
Senator Tillery outlined the top concerns he expects to dominate the 2021 legislative session which began Monday. "There are three major issues this session: the budget; COVID 19 relief; and election integrity."
Tillery, who assumed the duties of chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee following the death of Senator Jack Hill in mid-term last year, observed in an interview following the forum, "Going into 2020, state revenues were not all that strong, but the national economy looked good. Now, we are in this weird spot where exactly the opposite is happening. The national economy doesn't necessarily look that strong but the state's numbers look strong because of all the federal dollars that have been infused into the economy."
The Senator explained that one out of every four dollars in the state economy is federally infused "whether that be through PPP (federal Payroll Protection Program) payments, enhanced unemployment benefit payments, or any other federal means through extra payments to schools, doctors and hospitals."
In order to balance the state's $26 billion budget in 2020, legislators asked state agencies to trim their budgets, but Tillery does not anticipate having to repeat that action in 2021. "I think we reduced the budget enough last year that we won't have to do that. That was the goal. But I do not think we will be in a position to add everything back that we had to take away. I imagine the budget will be pretty close to flat."
Tillery said additions to the budget will likely be in three areas: adding funds to education; accommodating and facilitating public health needs; and broadband expansion in the state. "Those three areas have the best chance of seeing money put back when the economy is stronger." He pointed out that there are other concerns outside these three priorities. "We still have people in our district who are having trouble with unemployment payments that they have been requesting since summer. I imagine you will see some legislation to address that."
Tillery said of COVID- 19 relief, "It is everything from making sure we are putting businesses in a position where they can stay open and are not forced by the federal government to close, that there is access to capital to keep small businesses open, that they have PPE (personal protective equipment) and vaccine distribution as well for those who want it."
With the controversy of the recent Presidential and Senate runoff elections fresh in everyone's minds, Tillery said about election integrity. "That is the thing my office has heard more about than any other issue ever. The people of Georgia deserve to know that those who were supposed to vote were able to do so and that those who were not supposed to vote didn't. We have got to make sure as we continue to go through this when we find any loopholes, whether they were exploited or not, that these loopholes are closed."
Representative Morris agreed that the top priorities for the 2021 term of the state Legislature will be election reform; adopting a "balanced, conservative and financially prudent budget," and "doing what we need to do to protect our citizens from COVID and doing what we need to do to protect our businesses from unwanted intrusion, in terms of shutdowns and lockdowns."
He stressed, "Shutting down the economy is not an effective way to slow or get rid of COVID." The answer is the long-term availability of a vaccine, he noted.
Morris emphasized, "We are going to fight intrusion on capitalism and free enterprise in the state of Georgia. We are going to try to protect Georgia businesses and working men and women. If we look after those folks, everything else will take care of itself."
Noting he has been getting upward of 2,000 emails a day during the election process, he said to his constituents, "It is always good to hear from you, even if the news is bad and even if you are angry. We are angry, too, about some things. It is your right to question us about the actions we take or don't take. Thank you for your input."
Morris said the upcoming legislative session will look very different because of COVID, "just legislators socially spread out, no lobbyists or visitors. We will be tested for COVID twice a week."
Morris said the state and the nation took a hit when COVID-19 arrived, but the state economy is sound. He alluded to the state's Triple A bond rating and Georgia being named in 2020 as "The Top State for Doing Business" for the seventh year in a row. In 2020, the Port of Savannah was named the top port for the U.S. in exports from January through May, and Georgia had a total of more than $7.4 billion in new business investments made in the state during FY 2020.
"We have made more activity in the last five years in building state infrastructures than in the last 15 years," Morris added.
Senator Tillery pointed out that agriculture is still the number one business in Georgia, the port in Savannah is the most efficient port in the United States, and the state has the natural resources the rest of the world needs. "On the local front, we saw real estate sales triple in 2020. Whether it was low interest rates or people wanting to leave densely-packed areas, we have seen land and home purchases soar." He said the only pull-back is sporadic broadband services. "And I would be remiss not to mention that in some areas I represent, citizens don't even have good cell phone service."
Tillery said of broadband expansion, "We're working on that." In addition to the negotiations going on between private companies and Georgia EMCs to add broadband lines to existing poles, a project being negotiated by the state Public Service Commission, the state is attempting to leverage retiring military technologists from the military's Fort Gordon cyber communications center to join the state cyber communications facility and to expand this technology statewide.
Regarding the issue of broadband expansion, Morris said, "Having broadband is critical, not only to business growth, but to educational opportunities in rural Georgia."
Both legislators praised the area school systems' innovation and ingenuity in keeping the educational process going while maintaining safety during the pandemic, but expressed concern about the long-term effects of prolonged virtual learning. "We have some systems in our state meeting twice a week virtually and that's it. Those students will be a year or a year and a half behind by the time we are done with this pandemic. It is not fair to students and not good for our state," Tillery said.
What the state will be able to accomplish in educational funding, though a priority, remains to be determined. But Tillery was optimistic about future federal funding for Georgia schools. "The federal government outweighs what the state can do. Our entire state budget is $26 billion and we had to cut $950 million from our Quality Basic Education formula to balance the budget. The last bill we saw come out of Congress includes $7 billion coming to Georgia and K-12 schools, twice what we had to reduce by. We are a much smaller player in the funding formula."
Responding to a question about tax credits for movie companies filming primarily in the metro Atlanta area and how that benefits other areas of the state, Tillery commented, "To be fair to both sides, these revenues not only benefited Atlanta." He noted the revenue goes into state coffers to trickle down to the entire state. He added, "But I have issues with tax credits generally, particularly when they are not time specific. Tax credits deserve extreme scrutiny."
Representative Morris offered, "Every penny we get in tax credits comes back to us. It (the movie industry) is another opportunity to put Georgians of the next generation in an evolving business."
On the issue of health insurance, Morris said he thinks the state was right not to opt into the Medicaid expansion. "I think we were right. I still don't believe it's the answer. We anticipate a push to try to get us to move in the direction of Medicaid expansion. No matter what the federal government promises in supporting us, they failed on what they have done so far. We would be looking at an $8 to $10 billion investment," he said.
Steven McComas, incoming chairman of the board for the Chamber, welcomed the audience for the online forum. "Our Chamber of Commerce was pleased to offer this opportunity to hear directly from our area legislators addressing critical business issues facing our members. From tax policies to business regulations to financial support for public sector capital improvements to programs supporting business growth to educational initiatives that impact workforce development, our political representatives make a difference that will impact our members in 2021." McComas noted three takeaways from the presentation that he would like to see the legislators target. "First, we need to ensure the State of Georgia Tax Code allows business expense deduction of payroll and other allowed expenses supporting the Federal Payroll Protection Forgiveness Program for our members. Next, I would like to see if they could help reduce our members' increasing health insurance premiums. Finally, I am encouraged to learn that our representatives are focused on getting high-quality broadband to our members for increased access required for success." McComas added, "My prayer is that soon our darkest days will be behind us and 2021 will be a year that we see economic growth at national, state, and local levels. I share Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's recently-released optimistic 2021 economic forecast of 4.2% annual growth up from a negative -2.4% in 2020." He enthused, "Together we've got this! Our Board is focused on our members' success in 2021, and we are all praying for peace and good health for all in 2021."

If you're a PAYG customer, you're in the right place. If you're a Pay Monthly customer, you'll be joining OVO and you can find FAQs here.
Got a question about what's happening?
See if we've already answered your question.
What is my supply start date with Boost?
We started supplying your energy on the 12th of January, but you'll see a later supply start date included in your welcome comm and other communications from us. This is simply because we took over your energy supply before we could move your account to our systems, and it won't affect your supply.
If you have a traditional meter you should keep using your usual electricity and gas key/card to top up. We'll be sending you a new gas card soon, but you'll be keeping your current electricity key.
If you have a smart meter, you should continue to top up with your existing top-up card(s) or through the online top-up portal if you use it. This means we won't be sending you new cards for now.
If you've lost your traditional meter key/card, or smart top-up card, please visit Boost Help and search 'problem with my meter key card'.
How will my energy supply be affected?
Don't worry – as long as you continue to top up, your supply will not be affected.
If you have disconnected because you have run out of credit, please top up as normal.
If you have a smart meter, you can reconnect your meters after topping up by pressing A, A and then B. As usual, you might need to wait 30 minutes after reconnecting your electricity meter to reconnect your gas meter.
If you've got an energy emergency and are off-supply, we can book an emergency appointment with one of our meter engineers. Please give us a call straight away on 0330 102 7428.
What's happening with my old contract and rates?
You are being switched to Boost's standard variable PAYG plan.
The prices are the same no matter what type of meters you have, but if you do have smart meters your plan will be called Smart PAYG (all online).
You'll find full details on your energy rates in our welcome comm on the 'Plan Overview' page; the rates in the yellow boxes don't include VAT – but VAT is included on the rates on the 'Your Tariff' information page.
What has happened to the credit on my meter?
If you have a traditional meter(s), your credit will have remained on your meter(s) for you to use.
If you have a smart meter, your old balance has been transferred to Boost, so you don't need to call for a refund.
Why has my available balance gone down?
You might notice that your available balance is lower since you switched to Boost – don't worry, you haven't lost any credit from your top-ups. Your available balance is made up of your credit plus emergency credit. As Economy Energy had £10 emergency credit and Boost offer £5 emergency credit, your available balance is now £5 less than before.
What about my Warm Home Discount payment?
So long as you applied through Economy Energy and received an acceptance letter, or the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) told you that you were eligible, Boost will be honouring all Warm Home Discount payments. There's no need to call us, as we'll get all the details we need from the DWP and Economy Energy.
If you've got any further questions about Boost, or anything energy related, check out Boost Help or visit our Forum for speedy answers from our customers.
There are plenty of benefits to staying with Boost – if you haven't heard much about us, feel free to have a look through our website to find out more.
If you'd still like to switch, you can do so without paying any exit fees – but it's best to wait until your account is fully transferred to us, or your switch might take longer than usual.

The Germany international withstood an impressive 12 attempts on his goal from Eintracht Frankfurt as Leverkusen extended their unbeaten run in the Bundesliga to eight matches and climbed up to sixth and the UEFA Europa League qualification position. It was a third clean sheet of the season for the goalkeeper who has missed just one Bundesliga game since November 2012.
The Greek Colossus oversaw a flawless defensive performance from Hamburg as the Bundesliga's only ever-present club moved out of the relegation play-off place. Winning a massive 19 challenges up against Hoffenheim's dangerous attackers Sandro Wagner, Mark Uth and later also Andrej Kramaric and Adam Szalai, the 25-year-old Greece international can be pleased with his day's work at the Volksparkstadion.
The 19-year-old Frenchman has become Ralph Hasenhüttl's first-choice partner for club captain Willi Orban in the centre of defence and put in yet another eye-catching performance in the win over Bremen. Up against Fin Bartels and Max Kruse on the back of a hat-trick against Hannover, Upamecano limited the visitors to just nine attempts on goal with his 19 challenges won.
Watch: Meet Leipzig's brick wall from France!
An ever-present in a Freiburg team who have lost just once at home all season, the left-back chalked up his second assist of the campaign when he set up substitute Florian Kath to make it 2-0 and secure the three points. However, the 24-year-old's points total was really bolstered by the 15 challenges he won up against a physical Mainz team.
Oddly enough, Caligiuri is the only Schalke player to feature in this Team of the Week – rather fitting of the madness of the Royal Blues' historic comeback at Borussia Dortmund. However, the 29-year-old certainly played his part in that scintillating 4-4 draw. His second goal of the season with four minutes remaining on the clock moved the Royal Blues within striking distance of history at 4-3. Minutes later Naldo's header ensured the game's place in the record books.
When Keita scores, it tends to make the difference for Leipzig. Of the Guinea international's ten Bundesliga goals, six have put his side 1-0 in the lead and on the way to three points. That's exactly what happened against Bremen as the Roten Bullen maintained their unbeaten status at home this season and extended their impressive run of never having lost a Bundesliga game following a UEFA Champions League fixture. The bustling midfielder bolstered his points by winning 20 challenges – more than anyone else on the pitch.
A persistent thorn in the side of Hoffenheim defenders, only Gotoku Sakai covered more ground and no one else had more attempts on goal as Hamburg recorded their biggest Bundesliga victory since February. Also throwing himself around with an impressive 15 challenges won, the Serbia international settled HSV nerves with 15 minutes remaining as his swerving free-kick from 35 yards got the better of goalkeeper Oliver Baumann to give the hosts a two-goal lead.
The iceman was on fire against Wolfsburg and was the difference for Augsburg against the Wolves. The 28-year-old set up Michael Gregoritsch to bring Manuel Baum's side back on level terms before his sixth goal of the season saw Augsburg over the line for their fifth win of the season. It now puts the Bavarians on 19 points, which is already more than they had in the whole first half of last season.


SALEM, Va. -- KJ Evans did everything he could possibly do, and then some, to bring Wisconsin-Whitewater a NCAA Division III national championship Saturday.
Evans had 22 points to lead the Warhawks to a 75-73 victory against Williams, a game that ended the way every big game should end. A driving layup by Quardell Young with just nine-tenths of a second remaining on the clock decided the victory.
It was an electrifying conclusion to a Division IIII championship weekend in which there were plenty of incredible moments for Evans, who was named its Most Outstanding Player. That honor was nice enough, of course, but it was the title trophy that meant everything to Evans.
Five of Wisconsin-Whitewater's core group -- Young, Alex Merg, Cody Odegaard, Eric Bryson and Steve Egan -- were part of the school's 2012 national championship. Two others, Evans and Reggie Hearn, had to yet to earn their rings.
"It's definitely good to get that award, but coming in, the ultimate goal was just to put a ring on my finger," Evans said. "That was the most important thing to me. That was the most important thing to the rest of the team."
Evans' uncle, Duane Vance, won also won a national championship for Wisconsin-Whitewater in 1984. Thirty years later, Vance remains among the school's career leaders in games played, points scored, assists and free throws made.
"[Evans] comes by it naturally," said Pat Miller, the Warhawks' head coach. "We grew up ten miles apart, and I played with his uncle. He was one of the best players who ever played at Whitewater. He learned from the best."
After the buzzer, Evans took off into the stands to celebrate with his parents, Kenneth and Deann. It meant that much to him to be able to share the moment with them.
"It's been a long road," he said. "My mom and my dad … it's always been my dad, day in and day out, having me in the gym seven days a week. It's good to finally bring this home to them. I wasn't able to do it in high school. It's great to finally do something like this."
Evans had ten points through the first half of Friday's semifinal game against Illinois Wesleyan, and nine Saturday in the national championship game. He poured it on in the final twenty minutes Friday, doubling his scoring output in Wisconsin-Whitewater's 71-63 victory.
According to Evans, that's been his modus operandi for most of his career.
"I'm not sure what it's been throughout the year, but I play better in the second half," Evans said. "That's how it's been the entire year and most of my career, honestly. I just feel like our back's against the wall. There is no tomorrow, so I'm just going to come out and do whatever I can."
Miller now has a title to his credit as a Warhawks player in 1989, and two as a coach. Players like Evans helped put him over the top.
"He's a great competitor," Miller said. "He wants to win. He has an incredible work ethic. He's improved his game tremendously over the two years he's been in our program. Every day in practice, he gives a great effort."
That's not to say, however, that Miller believes Evans' game is perfect in every way. In Friday's semifinal game, the junior guard made a particularly poor pass that led to a turnover and a couple of points during a Titans comeback attempt.
Both coach and player were asked about it following the seminfinal game, and when Evans started to answer, Miller interrupted him.
"That question was directed towards me, KJ," Miller said, a grin spreading across his face before he continued. "I've coached a lot of different types of players. I could run a thousand drills about not throwing that pass, and I guarantee you he'll throw it. That's what he does."
That's not necessarily a bad thing, Miller was quick to add.
"He has that aggressiveness, that intensity," said Miller, who played for the Warhawks from 1986 to 1989. "He wants to make plays. It leads to a lot of success. You also have some of those [bad] plays, and throughout my career, I've always been willing to live with those because the positives outweigh the negatives."
Before he was finished with the thought, Miller had one last parting shot. The pass in question, he concluded, might have been the worst pass in school history and if not the worst, then definitely in the top five. Again, he smiled.
No harm, no foul. Not this weekend. A championship tends to make up for a lot of things.


I understand that it is legal to redrill the rudder blade so the forward edge is more nearly vertical, and that this will reduce weather helm when heeled over. Does it also reduce pointing ability? If it is a good idea, where should the new hole be drilled?
I understand that this was once popular.

Adjusting the rudder blade angle does not reduce weather helm.
Submitted by HarryC on Wed, 09/06/2006 - 21:30.
Adjusting the rudder blade angle does not reduce weather helm. If you move the blade to a more vertical angle, you move the center of resistance in the blade closer to the rudder pivot point. This increases the leverage the tiller has over the resistance of the blade and you feel less pull on the tiller. The rudder is only the transmitter of weather helm. Adjusting the blade angle does nothing to affect the root cause. In the Scot, weather helm is usually caused by heeling too much. In most cases, the best way to reduce helm is to sail the boat flat. We have also found that pulling the draft forward in the main with the cunningham can help balance the helm. You can also adjust helm by moving the mast rake, adjusting the centerboard or shifting the crew weight. I have always felt that sailing with the blade angle at a more vertical position makes it easier to sail with a lot of weather helm without realizing it. With the standard angle, you feel that big tug on the tiller and you know to ease the main to reduce the drag of the rudder. With a more vertical blade, you can drag the rudder with a lot less pressure on the tiller and sail along blissfully ignorant of how much the drag of the rudder is slowing the boat.
