Our Rating Out Of Four Stars- Drama

Based On A True Story-

Open Water might be best described as Blair Witch Project meets Jaws, only instead of our central characters being lost in the woods, they're alone in the ocean and instead of the terrorizing force being a supernatural presence, it's a school of hungry sharks.

Based on a true story, the premise of Open Water is quite simple, yet horrifying with a shocking ending. Director Chris Kentis shows the married couple setting off on a Scuba Diving trip with nine other couples. Once at the diving spot, the adventurous actors beautifully played by Susan (Blanchard Ryan) and Daniel (Daniel Travis) are having the time of their lives as they discover breathtaking underwater vistas. Overwhelmed by all there is to see, they lose track of time and are slightly late getting back to the rendevous point. As they swim to the surface, they are horrified to discover that the boat is gone. Open Water spends most of it's running time depicting a terrifying twenty-four hour period of self preservation under the most intense circumstances.

The True Story-

The movie is based on the following true story-

© Lions Gate Films

It has been six and a half years (January 25th, 1998 ) since the two American tourists (From Baton Rouge, Louisiana) disappeared diving on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia. If one thing has become clear in this bizarre case it is that Tom and Eileen Lonergans' story will never fade and haunts many to this day.

Tom (33) and Eileen (29) Lonergan had just finished three years in the Peace Corps in the South Pacific and were on their way to Hawaii to re-enter college to obtain masters degrees. Diving some 40 miles offshore, the Lonergans were experienced divers enjoying a three-week vacation in Austraila before heading off to school. They had met and married at Louisiana State University, where Eileen had taken up scuba diving and persuaded Tom to join in her hobby. For two years they had taught for the Peace Corps in the Pacific island country of Tuvalu, before spending a further year in Fiji.

During a diving expedition near St. Crispin reef off Port Douglas, Tom and Eileen had been the last divers out of the water on the other dives that day, so it was not hard to assume they may have been a little tardy on the final dive.

The Lonergans advised a diving instructor employed on the Outer Edge, Ms. Katherine Traverso, that they would "go off and do their own thing" (quote from Mr. Richard Triggs of Cairns, a diver on the trip. This action by the Lonergans is nothing unusual as most experienced divers would know, but of which some media made adverse comments soon after the incident.

When they did surface after less than an hour underwater, they either saw the boat (Outer Edge) leaving or saw nothing but open seas.

© Lions Gate Films

Outer Edge Dive Co. did not report the couple missing until two days after they were left at sea. When the boat had docked, the crew apparently noticed that there was at least one bag left behind by the passengers but they do not appear to have investigated this further and simply moved the bag to another location on the boat. In fact, there were two bags. One was a plastic bag containing the Lonergans' dry clothes and Mr Lonergans' glasses. In addition, there was a nearly empty dive bag and the boat was missing two tanks and two weight belts!

It was two days later, when Jack Nairn (Skipper of the boat) claimed to have found a bag containing the Lonergans' wallet and passports on the boat, that the alarm was raised. He called the Police, 51 hours after the Lonergans disappeared. On January 28, 1998 a search by 17 aircraft, helicopters and boats, Police, Navy and civilian divers began.

A massive search ensued. Documentation of their fist night was evidenced by what fishermen 100 miles north of the site found: a dive slate which records their thoughts as dawn broke that morning. In a wobbly scrawl faded by months in the water, Tom Lonergans had written: "Monday Jan 26; 1998 08am. To anyone who can help us: We have been abandoned on Agin court Reef by MV Outer Edge 25 Jan 98 3pm. Please help us come to rescue us before we die. Help!!!"

Being experienced divers, the normal procedure would be to inflate the BCD (Buoyancy Control Device for diving) and dump the weight belts.

The day after the incident the Outer Edge brought another tour party to the area, and one diver found six dive weights resting on the bottom. Oblivious to what had happened the previous day, a crew member described the find as a bonus.

When the boat failed to return, the next course of action would be to discard the tanks. Exposure to the water and the heat from the sun rapidly accelerates dehydration.

One of the few criticisms of the movie was that it was hard to believe that the boat just left the couple, however it is true and this is what the official investigation of this incident discovered-

~ No proper head count was performed before the dive vessel left.
~ The Lonergans were not checked back on board by the crew.
~ The Lonergans' dive details were not recorded in the divemaster's log book
    at the end of the dive.
~ No dedicated lookout was on duty at the time of the relevant dive.
~ The boat left at a time when it was reasonable to assume that divers could
    still be under the water.

Former Skipper, Jack Nairn still lives in the area despite losing his business as a result of the publicity and debts surrounding his trial. He initially refused to talk about the case, and would only discuss how the fallout from the case had affected him. "The reality of it is that the thing creates emotional turmoil for all of the people involved," he said.

We will avoid providing more details on the true story at this point so as not to ruin the movie for those who wish to see it.

But What Is Amazing Is That It Happened Again-

After the Lonergans went missing in Queensland in 1998, you'd think it could never happen again. But it seems it has. An 80-year-old American woman went missing after an excursion to the Barrier Reef in 2000. Police in Port Douglas in far north Queensland once again had to search the coastline.

Primal Scream-

The Discovery Channel recently showed a veteran underwater photographer Valerie De La Valdene in the Galapagos Islands as she re-lived her most harrowing adventure in 17 years of diving. She came up to find herself alone in the ocean after having been pulled by underwater currents far from her fellow divers and the diving boat.

What was terrifying was that she had her underwater video camera with her which shows the entire situation as it unfolds. You can see the first shark approach her as her video camera is innocently capturing the scene under the water as she is above it unaware and discovering to her horror that she is drifting out to sea with nothing in sight. You can hear the camera capturing her "primal screams" as she begins to call out for help and as she pushes the first of many sharks away from her with her fins.

Shown during their "shark week" the show Primal Scream shows the mass number of sharks circling her shortly after she surfaces and she finds she is alone in the water, with no land in site, no boat and absolute primal fear setting in.

This video is available on the Discovery Channel via DVD and VHS.

The Art of Female Ejaculation

Lisa,

I have been having ejaculatory orgasms since my 20s. I am now 48 years old. I have been married to my husband for 11 years and we have a very active sex life. I have had only a couple of ejaculations with him. I will usually have clitoral orgasms.

I ordered your female ejaculation video and left it out for him which I knew out of curiosity he would watch. We talked about me having orgasms like that and he said he enjoyed watching me come like that since now he visually had proof I was having an awesome orgasm (instead of him thinking I was urinating).

Thanks for making educational videos that open up discussions about completely natural responses in women's bodies. It doesn't have to be an embarrassing thing. Thanks again.

Deb in Florida

HI LISA,

I AM WRITING TO YOU BECAUSE I KNOW THAT YOU DO TRY LOTS OF ARTICLES IN YOUR NEWSLETTER. THE THING, I WAS WONDERING IF MAYBE YOU COULD ADD SOME KIND OF ARTICLE TO HELP US WOMEN THROUGH EMOTIONAL ORDEALS. YOU SEE I JUST LOST MY BABY BECAUSE OF AN ECTOPIC PREGNANCY A MONTH AGO. THINGS WITH MY BOYFRIEND WERE GREAT BUT THEN HE GOT FIRED AND ECONOMICALLY ITS BEEN HELL ALSO BECAUSE OF THE HOSPITAL BILLS. SO YOU SEE I AM IN MOURNING FOR MY BABY AND MY BOYFRIEND JUST BROKE UP WITH ME ON TUESDAY UNTIL HE GETS BACK ON HIS FEET. SORRY TO BOTHER YOU BUT I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE AND ARTICLE ON HOW TO COPE WITH THESE KINDS OF THINGS WILL ACTUALLY HELP US FEEL BETTER ABOUT OURSELVES EVEN BOOST OUR SELF ESTEEM AND EVENTUALLY OUR SEXUAL LIVES CONSEQUENTLY.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

LUCINES

Dear Lucines,

Thank you for your candid eMail. There are unfortunately many women whom have experienced this trauma and we will do articles in the future about such issues. I thought it would be nice if any of our readers wanted to their stories about this as a way of letting others like you know that they are not alone and that is why I will be posting it in our newsletter. Hopefully this will allow for others to know that it happens to many women and that they can talk about it as a way to cope with such a tragic event.

All my best to you!

Lisa

Hello Lisa-

I write this simply to thank you for making me feel more normal. I have had these episodes since my 20's. I was not fully understanding them and thinking there was something wrong.

Your newsletter is quite informative. I am glad to know that I am NOPh.D.AL...

Oh, it has been a long journey with the embarrassment and horrible feelings.. Yes, indeed.. I am a squirter!! Looking forward to your monthly letters..

Thank you,
Leona

Hello Lisa,

I always enjoy reading your newsletter as they are well written and educational. We are never to old to learn new things about ourselves. When I first saw your site, I was trying to research the topic of Prostate Massage (or Male G-Spot) and Holistic Medicine for men.

One of the things which I seen on the net is groups and people making claims that they know what they are doing and are discreet. If you do a little research and ask a few questions, you many times find your communicating with a person who has no idea what their are talking about and is anything but discreet.

I'm looking for a Holistic source in Central Florida that deals with just this topic. Can someone on your staff give me a hand with this?

Thanks,

Bob

Dear Bob,

Thank you for your compliments! I do not know of a group in your area, but will post your comments in our newsletter in case someone reading this knows a good clinic to refer you to. I wish you the best in your search and endeavors!

Lisa

Hi Lisa,

I have viewed your website and love it. I have a masturbation technique that I enjoy allot. I have this hand massager that is incredible. I adjust the vibrator to fit snug between and under my erect shaft on my perineum. I straddle the machine so the handle goes between my legs and put the vibrator on full heat and vibration. I let the handle touch my anus so I get that extra sensation and my eyes roll back in my head when I am about to reach volcanic eruption stage. I actually dig my fingers into my carpet when I orgasm. To get that extra sensation, I pull my cock upwards and the vibrator is almost dangling between my legs as I pump my ass in and out as if I was fucking a tight pussy. Its an amazing session.

Love,
Brad

A topic that need be raised is "breast implants" and the difference between over the muscle and under. Working in a doctor office showed me the need to show ladies the need for breast exams and implants. Going under the muscle with the implant will allow a easier and safer breast mamy and over may not see all cells of imperfection or cancers because of the sack being in the way to proper read the breast x-ray. Get the research and let ladies and especially the young gals know what to look for. Implants are for life and most are needing rebuild in 18-25 years, and should be planned on and the other dangers of implants and the surgery it self. need to be told . Research is the key to a good Plastic surgeon and success and not damage to your body. Those seeking butt implants and others should know the dangers.

Debbie

Hi Lisa,

Thank you for the dvd I purchased on female ejaculation. Several of my friends have placed orders as well. I am a 48 year old single female who has always done this but thought it was dependent on a man. I was divorced 4 years ago after 23 years of marriage and figured out on my own that it was not. I just did not have any consistency with it. Now that I have reviewed the instructional dvd, I am accomplished.

My one concern, the wetness. The first time I experienced this with a man, after studying your informative dvd, I had to have my mattress steam cleaned the next day. Certainly can't afford to do that every time! or want to.

Now, I have purchased a waterproof crib mattress cover and used it once. I feel awkward with this. And it appears that one gentlemen loved squirting at the time, but afterwards looked like he did not know what had happened to him and looked at me like I was a voodoo queen. And the other gentleman enjoyed it immensely. But it is so wet.

Do men really enjoy it? And now that I can accomplish it with each orgasm, I don't think I can go back to not doing it as it is nirvana. And I know you cover these issues in the dvd. Perhaps I need to view again for those parts.

What is the feedback from men? Your husband for instance? Does he find it exciting and does he desire it?

Thank you for the beautiful way you presented this insightful information. Every guy friend that I have told about this dvd has placed an order with you and the promise is that each time they do this with a woman, they are to bow to the goddesses!!!!!!! us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for sharing it with them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I look forward to hearing from you and look forward to those waterproof linens you may be offering.

Thanx,

Teddi

Dear Teddi,

Most men do enjoy female ejaculation (including my hubby). However, there are some men that it is not a big turn on for them or it actually is a turn off. Communication is the best way to address that before hand so that there is no surprise.

I know about the amount of fluid as I have ejaculated well over two cups and soaked our mattress... that is why Lawless Linens will be out soon and hopefully provide a great way to keep the sheets dry and sex wet!

Lisa

Wow!!!!

I just got your video and am watching it right now. First let me say how beautiful you are. This is a great video I'm so glad I got it. I love the shots of the spaying on the man's cock what a great way to lube up. I agree with you on the liberation factor. We had a Fem. Ejac. workshop this weekend. It was wonderful. The sheets were quite soaked.

Thanks so much.

Namaste,

Steve

Hi Lisa,

I just had a quick question. Last year you had developed a squirting DVD, which I bought and found extremely interesting. You had mentioned in an eMail that your next DVD was going to be a compilation of squirting videos from people who were sending them in to you. I was wondering if that was still in your plans, and if so when you were going to release it.

Thanks for your time.
Carl

Hi Carl,

Thank you for your inquiry. I think like many entrepreneurs I always have about 50 projects in the works at one time. From time to time I get over extended and have to cut back.

I am focusing right now on our Lawless Linens and Passion Pillows products and getting their full production underway in addition to a couple other projects. With the new additions of other female ejaculation videos to our web site (other than our own) we are going to hold off on making a new one for the time being.

Thank you for your interest, and stay tuned to our newsletter for any new developments, products and information as that is where we will provide the most updated additions to our product line. Have a wonderful weekend!

Best,
Lisa

Sign the pledge and make a difference!

On September 25, 2003, Lifetime Television delivered more than 5 million petition signatures to Capitol Hill, urging Congress to ban "drive-through" mastectomies- the practice in which women are forced out of the hospital sometimes only hours after breast cancer surgery.

Sign the petition now to help end drive-through mastectomies once and for all. Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) introduced bipartisan legislation that mirrors the House bill sponsored by Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) which would end this horrific practice. The petitions were collected by Lifetimetv.com as part of Lifetime's campaign against this practice with DeLauro, Landrieu, the National Alliance of Breast Cancer Organizations (NABCO), physicians, advocates and survivors across the nation. Lifetime Television, NABCO, Rep. DeLauro and Connecticut physician Kristen Zarfos, M.D., have been fighting for this type of access to quality care for all women since 1996.

The legislation would require insurance companies to cover a 48-hour minimum stay for mastectomy patients and a 24-hour stay for a woman undergoing a lymph node dissection. The legislation ensures that a doctor and a patient will make a decision together about staying at a hospital after a mastectomy. While both the American College of Surgeons and the American Medical Association believe that most patients require a longer hospital stay, "drive-through" mastectomies have become an unwelcome reality for women who are battling breast cancer.

Against the advice of their doctors, thousands of women must leave the hospital while still in pain, groggy with anesthesia and with drainage tubes still in place. The House version of the Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act is co-sponsored by 153 members of Congress from both sides of the aisle.

The legislation is supported by the American Medical Association; NABCO; American College of Surgeons; American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons; Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses; National Council of Jewish Women; Society for the Advancement of Women's Health Research; Susan G. Komen Foundation; Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization; and Families USA.

If you agree that women require more than one night at a hospital after undergoing a mastectomy, here's your chance to make your voice heard. With the strength of these petition numbers behind us, we will get this legislation passed.

Kiefer Sutherland Strips

Kiefer Sutherland shocked a group of small-town New Zealand women with an impromptu strip show at a club in the North Island community of Raetihi.

Sutherland slipped out of his socks and whipped off his shirt, waving it above his head to the tune of the Tom Jones' hit ``You Can Leave Your Hat On'' at Raetihi's Cosmopolitan Club. The women were watching Men of Steel - a male revue act - and Sutherland was drinking at an adjoining bar before deciding to join the act.

The 37-year-old actor, star of television's action-thriller ``24,'' was then ushered off the stage. He had an enjoyable evening and so did everyone that was here. He's going back in August and his next visit is highly anticipated.

Sutherland is in New Zealand filming ``River Queen,'' which tells the story of an Irish immigrant during the 18th-century wars between indigenous Maori and colonial settlers. His movies include ``Taking Lives,'' ``Flatliners,'' ``Young Guns'' and ``Stand by Me.''

Housework and Sex

How much housework he does may determine how much sex she wants. Cooking, grocery shopping, vacuuming, dusting, laundry, and the dirty dishes can be a fertility booster or a contraceptive.

Striking that balance between work and family is always a challenge--even for the most organized couples. But studies show that sharing the load of housework helps a woman to feel appreciated and better able to relax.

Not a bad way to not only promote intimacy but to get the house clean!

Americans Fear AIDS For Kids

Fewer people believe the overall threat of AIDS is very serious these days, but a majority of Americans say they worry about the impact of the sexually transmitted disease on the nation's children.

Teaching safe sex should be a high priority to curb AIDS, as promoting abstinence is likely to get a cynical reaction from teenagers: ``Yeah, yeah, like I'm going to do that.'' A lot more people are having sex younger and they're not as aware of the risks. When asked what health problem should be the federal government's highest priority for spending on medical research, people were most likely to say cancer. AIDS, Alzheimer's and heart disease tied for a distant second. Efforts to raise private money for research have struggled as AIDS faded from the media spotlight. For example, in May, Pittsburgh held its last annual AIDS walk to raise money to fight the disease because of declining public interest and participation.

Sperm Donor To Pay Child Support

A Pennsylvania state appeals court in Harrisburg ruled that a verbal agreement between a woman and her sperm donor was invalid, and ordered the man to pay child support for the woman's twins.

The three-judge panel ruled that the deal between Joel McKiernan and Ivonne Ferguson, in which McKiernan donated his sperm and would not be obligated to pay any support was unenforceable because of "legal, equitable and moral principles."

Despite an agreement that appeared to be a binding contract, the father is obligated to provide financial support, the court decided. "It is the interest of the children we hold most dear,"' wrote Senior Judge Patrick Tamalia. McKiernan's attorney said he may appeal.

The decision could have implications for sperm and egg donors who expect anonymity, said Arthur Caplan, a professor and medical ethicist at the University of Pennsylvania. "Anybody who is a sperm donor ought to understand that their identity could be made known to any child that's produced, and they could be seen by the courts as the best place to go to make sure the child has adequate financial support," he said Friday.

According to the trial judge's opinion, Ferguson and McKiernan met while working together and had a two-year affair. The relationship waned by late 1993, when Ferguson convinced McKiernan to act as a sperm donor with no responsibility for any child born as a result, the opinion said. McKiernan, who has paid up to $1,520 a month in support since losing the case at trial, said he was not pleased with the ruling, but declined to comment further.

Ferguson's lawyer, Elizabeth Hoffman, said there was never evidence of an agreement between the two in which McKiernan would not have to pay any support. "There was no evidence except his word and her word and it was a matter of credibility," he said.

Olympic Athletes Get Free Condoms

Athletes at Athens Olympics are expected to go for gold in the bedroom as well as on the field, with 130,000 free condoms being made available throughout the Games.

Condom manufacturer Durex has donated the prophylactics as well as 30,000 sachets of lubricant for the August 13-29 Olympics, "to smooth the performance of the world's elite sports people in the arena and under the covers," it said in a statement.

The condoms will be available to over 17,000 athletes and officials at the pharmacy of the athletes' Olympic village. "The condoms will come in an individual pack, with an instruction leaflet in various languages," said a spokeswoman for Durex Greece. "We have discussed the numbers with the organizing committee and we think they are realistic as we know from previous Olympics that athletes do come into contact during the Games."

In the Sydney 2000 Games, each competing athlete was given 51 condoms on arrival at the Olympic Village, but another 20,000 had to be shipped in when supplies began to run low.

MRIs Better For Detecting Breast Cancer

MRI scans beat mammograms for finding tumors in women at high risk of breast cancer, but at a far greater cost and chance of unneeded biopsies, new research suggests.

Those drawbacks make MRIs unsuitable for screening average-risk women, who are still advised to get regular mammograms starting at age 50. But the benefit of better detection from MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, makes it worthwhile for women with faulty genes or a strong family history of breast cancer, like a mother or sister who had the disease.

``Women who are at high risk should consider getting MRI besides mammography,'' said Dr. Stephen Feig, a radiology professor at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York and past president of the Society of Breast Imaging. He had no role in the new research, which was done by doctors at six cancer centers throughout the Netherlands and was partly funded by the Dutch Health Insurance Council. Results were reported in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine.

In the study, MRIs caught nearly twice as many tumors as mammograms did in women at high risk of breast cancer. For them, the value of screening is not as much of an issue as it has been in recent years for women at average risk.

An MRI scan costs $700 to $1,000 - about 10 times the cost of a mammogram. Some large insurers already cover MRIs for women at high risk. Women were screened three ways: a breast exam by a doctor every six months, annual mammograms and annual MRI scans.

However, the scans also give more false alarms. MRI's led to twice as many unneeded additional examinations as did mammography (420 vs. 207) and three times as many unneeded biopsies (24 vs. 7). Both kinds of screening did find cancers early.

Women must be counseled carefully about whether to try intensive screening instead of having their breasts or ovaries removed. If women do get an MRI, they should time it for midway through their menstrual cycles when results are best, and they should go to centers capable of performing MRI-guided biopsies if a scan shows something that needs follow-up. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women after skin cancer. About 216,000 new cases will be diagnosed this year, and it will cause about 40,000 deaths.

What Men & Women Want-

Here are the results of the Leger Marketing-Canadian Press survey of 1,052 adults that was conducted in January 2004. Participants were asked to choose the three attributes they most valued in a potential mate, so the numbers add up to more than 100 percent.

What women want most in a man:

1. Faithful partner: 54 percent
2. Respect the other person's independence: 40 percent
3. Ability to listen: 35 percent
4. Physical attraction: 13 percent
5. Being good in bed: 6 percent

What men want most in a woman:

1. Faithful partner: 47 percent
2. Respect the other person's independence: 36 percent
3. Ability to listen: 35 percent
4. Physical attraction: 26 percent
5. Being good in bed: 13 percent

The best place to meet that special someone:

1. Introduced by friends: 40 percent
2. Chance or luck: 17 percent
3. Introduced by family: 11 percent
4. Sports or social clubs: 7 percent
5. Work: 3 percent
6. Bars: 2 percent
7. Internet: 1 percent
9. Newspaper classifieds: 1 percent

Here's something that should gladden every heart: Fully 90 percent of those polled believe it is possible to be happy with the same person for a lifetime.
