I didn't know this and, from what I understand, most Japanese don’t know this either. I guess things just are forgotten over time. Come to think of it, it’s pretty scary things like this are forgotten. I guess I’m getting older, but I believe that traditions should be kept alive and not watered down, so to speak, so we remember our roots and where we’ve come from. Keiko and I were invited by the family to celebrate the New Year’s and Spring Festival at the “Dai Jinjgu,” the main shinto Shrine. To celebrate this we stood on a 10-feet-tall walk way and threw roasted soybean called fortune beans and all types of candy to several hundred of people below. This is a ritual to cleanse away all the evil from the former year and bring in luck back in. After the ceremony we sat down in the Shrine with the priest and elders to listen to them sings songs from the Samurai days. I can speak Japanese, and I didn’t even understand the songs. The oldest person in the group at 95 years old stood up and sang two songs, then he preached about his big come back. He suffered a stroke eight years ago. After the stroke he started to go downhill with his memory slipping and mobility going down. But he was told by several doctors to start doing karaoke on a regular basis and make sure he stood up and sang. Now, years later, he can walk and remember things with no problem. He swears it was his will to recover and the singing that helped him tremendously.
It was ironic that he said that because just that morning I was watching something on TV about how karaoke is used to help people diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and how some are getting good results. They are still trying to understand how karaoke helps. 320 Ward Ave Tel (808) 597-9055 Open: Mon - Sat 10:30-7:00 / Sun 10-6 www.hawaiiansouthshore.com

Hawaiian South Shore Your Surf Boutique For the Finicky Surfer and Clothing Junkie The 4 Most Filling Foods for Weight Loss If you were to describe The Perfect Food, it might go something like this: healthful, delicious, bigger than a morsel, and filling enough to fight hunger for hours. "Foods that promote satiety"—a feeling of lasting fullness—"do exist," insists Dr. David Katz, founder of the Yale University Prevention Research Center. What makes some grub extra satisfying? "Fiber and protein can help," says Barbara Rolls, author of "The Ultimate Volumetrics Diet." Getting more bang for your bite matters, too: Low-energy-density foods, which yield big portions for few calories, "allow you to eat more without gaining weight," Rolls says. Want some of that? Make room for these secret-weapon picks.
Baked potato The potato has been unfairly demonized -- it's actually a potent hunger tamer. In a study that measured the satiating index of 38 foods, including brown rice and whole-wheat bread, people ranked boiled potatoes highest, reporting that they felt fuller and ate less two hours after consuming them. Though potatoes are often shunned because they're considered high in carbohydrates, they shouldn't be. Whether baked or boiled, they're loaded with vitamins, fiber and other nutrients. Result? You get steady energy and lasting fullness after noshing on them. Feel even fuller: Eat baked and boiled tubers skin-on to get more fiber for just 160 calories a pop. Bean soup "Soups have a high water content, which means they fill your stomach for very few calories," says Rolls. Brothbased bean soups, in particular, contain a hefty dose of fiber and resistant starch -- a good carb that slows the release of sugar into the bloodstream -- to make that full feeling really stick. "Once in the stomach, fiber and water activate stretch receptors that signal that you aren't hungry anymore," Rolls says. All this for a measly 150 calories per cup. Feel even fuller: Resist the cracker pack on the side in favor of a bigger soup helping. Beans are starchy, satisfying and caloric enough on their own, Rolls says. Hate soup? Throw lentils, black-eyed peas or kidney or navy beans into a vinegar-based salad. Greek yogurt Harvard researchers examined the eating habits of 120,000 people for 20 years and found that yogurt was the single best food for shedding pounds: Over time, people who downed more of the protein-packed stuff lost pounds without trying. Meanwhile, a Nestlé Nutrition Institute study review found that consuming dairy proteins increases satiety, reduces food intake and keeps blood sugar steady. "Greek yogurt, which is strained to remove liquid whey, contains double the protein and less sugar than regular yogurt," Dubost says. Apples Apples are one of the few fruits that contain pectin, which naturally slows digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness, according to a study in Gastroenterology. In fact, people who ate an apple as part of a meal felt more satiated and ate less than those who consumed a calorically equivalent amount of juice and applesauce. "Whole apples take a long time to eat for very few calories," says Susan Roberts, professor of nutrition at Tufts University. Your body has more time to tell your brain that you're no longer hungry. That means you can eat lots of this low-energy-density, high-satiety fruit and avoid feeling deprived while losing weight, adds Roberts. -Article appeared on Health.com-

Hawaiian South Shore Your Surf Boutique For the Finicky Surfer and Clothing Junkie Not stoked on your surfboard because it doesn't surf they way you want it to? Want to give your board new life? Change your fin! Fins have a huge impact on the way your board moves. Just by changing the fin to a different template or moving the fins (on longboards) to a different position, your board will feel and move totally different. A board you once hated could become your favorite board just because you changed the fins. Or if you don’t have the luxury to have several different boards, just change the fins to match the conditions that day, and I guarantee you’ll enjoy your session a lot more. We have a good selection of demo fins that can be demoed for FREE, so you have no excuse not to come down and try them out. If you have questions give us a call at the shop. We’re open seven days a week! Our number is 808-597-9055. New 3DFINS After 7 years of R&D, the breakthrough came while golfing. Using CAD design and computer-aided flow dynamic testing, designer Courtney Potter was able to improve speed and drive by 15%. The dimples are much like a golfball, with dimples on the outside foil and on both side of the rear. Prorider Josh Kerr is impressed at the speed he was able to generate. Now with Josh as a team rider 3DFINS are being tested to the limits. Check out Hawaiian South Shore for the new 3DFINS available in Futures and FCS.
The 5 fin set up is quickly becoming a big favorite for all types of surfers. You can use it in small 2’ days to well overhead waves. Nubsters come in a variety of sizes and for just about all the fin boxes: FCS, Future, and center fin boxes for SUP and longboards. Pictured above are the most common fin plugs and placements. Since Jan. 2014, FCS have new fin plugs called FCSII that look similar to the Future fins box and fit the older two plug FCS fins.
The fifth fin is small enough to not create a lot of drag in the middle when you need speed down the line. It allows you to drive deep off the bottom without it slipping or bogging the board down. When you drive back up the face and hit the lip, the fin is small enough to release at the top.
The Nubster is a good all-around fin for someone who wants the speed from the quad set up and the performance combination of a FCSII Adapter Kit thruster. 320 Ward Ave Tel (808) 597-9055 Open: Mon - Sat 10:30-7:00 / Sun 10-6 www.hawaiiansouthshore.com
