Secondary fermentation of red wine.
Can someone tell me when i will know secondary fermentation is complete. I have made the wine as natural as i can only adding yeast and yeast nutrient during primary fermentation. It has now been under airlock in an oak barrel for 6 weeks and is still slowing bubbling away. How much longer should i wait before racking and at what hydrometer reading.
Also, should i or can i introduce a malolatic bacteria at this late stage ?
Hello Mike.
If it is bubbling, it is still in primary fermentation. Unless you have been very very careful (and very lucky) you will need to add Campden tablets. If you want to be 'natural', add as little as possible. If you add none, it will just go sour !
More details, please. What is it? How much have you got? Do you have hydrometer readings for the beginning and for now? Have you done an SO2 test? etc. Whatever you are able to provide will make it easier for people to give advice.
Hi Trevor,
Thanks for your reply.
In regards to the additional details, the grape variety is Shiraz and i have approximately 100 litres in a new french oak barrel. Specific garvity upon crushing was 1.120. A reading taken today showed it to be 1.002.
When i said the wine was bubbling, i meant you could hear some crackling when putting your ear to the barrel but it was not really visible when looking into the barrel.
No other tests have been done.
A taste of the wine today seemed ok but it was still raw with a fruity and slightly sweet taste. It is not ready for drinking but was ok on tasting as well.
The grapes were quite sweet when we crushed and for reasons outside my control it was only left in the primary fermentation stage for 7 days and the SG at time of pressing was higher than i would have liked. I expected secondary fermentation to take longer and based on todays reading i dont think it is quite finished. Based on the above do you think at this stage and the current SG of 1.002 it is worth considering the addition of a malolactic bacteria?
In the past my father has not added the malolactic bacteria but some ( not all) of his wines have had a harsher mouthfeel and i would like to avoid this in my batch. None of his wines have ever soured so im hoping the same applies this time.
Finally the barrel is stored in an underground cellar with a fairly constant temperature ( approx 64 F) but with the recent onset of winter in South Australia i am not sure whether the malolactic bacteria will survive at this temperature.
It is not quit done fermenting I think. It should get on down to 1.000. But watch it and see if it stops dropping.
I think you have waited to late to inoculate with culture. Your ABV should be to high for the culture to get started.
I am more interested in hearing how it comes out in this small barrel. They are supposed to overdo things.
Bob is right. Keep an eye on SG. It is too late for MLF.
With a new French barrel, you should get a lot of flavour from the wood. Not only tannin but also vanilla.
Wood tends to allow in a small amount of oxygen (but not enough to spoil the wine) and this often improves the flavour.
Yep but this is a 30 gallon barrel I am guessing. If using the smaller barrels dont you have to watch how long it is in the barrel. Is it not the same as using oak block or chips. You have to limit the time due to to much surface area.
Correct again, Bob.
With a smaller barrel, more of the wine is in contact with the wood and more of the wood flavours will be absorbed. So, when the wine has finished fermenting, it is a good idea to check the taste every 14 days and then decant the wine into another container when you like the taste of the wine.
I had thought about trying that. Those barrels are not cheap. That size is around 250 dollars. But thought it might some benefit to secondary in one and like you said after it clears just taste it then rack to carboy to finish bulk aging.
Thanks for all your advice. I will take it all onboard and keep checking the SG until it falls to 1.000. I hope with the drop it will also lose some of the sweetness.
My main question regarding adding the Malolactic bacteria has been answered as you do get differing opinions on when it can be added. Deep down i wasnt comfortable with adding it at this late stage. Also, the high alcohol content and drop in temperature led me to believe it wouldnt have been succcessful.
In regards to the new barrel i understand what you are saying as the same happened with my fathers first batch of wine in a small Hungarian Oak barrel. As i do not have another vessel to put it into, what else can you suggest? Would putting it in his older Hungarian oak barrel be an option. The wine is all the same but the quantity of grapes we had were not enough to fill both his American and Hungarian Oak barrels. The difference is his barrels are not cellared.
Again thanks to both of you for your advice.
once it gets to a good degree of oaking you will have to go to a glass or plastic fermenter or I guess you could use it to top up the larger barrels when it comes time to rack them.
Hi Mike
I'm really impressed that you have taken the trouble to buy a new barrel - getting them ready for first use is such a pain.
This may be OTT; but, if you are going to do this on a regular basis .... apart from 'the big boys' I have a 100 litre stainless steel container that I use for 'specials' or 'experiments'. It was about 100 euros. You could decant your wine into one of those.
Otherwise, try your winemaking shop and see if they have any good ideas.
Holly cow that is cheap as heck, trevor. I can not find anything now days in stainless that size. I would like to double my beer cooker but a pot ,25 - 30 gallon is 220 dollars.
Hi Trevor,
It was a bit of work preparing the new barrel but i see it being all part of the wine making process and actually enjoyed it. If the wine turns out to be nice then it will all be worth it.
I'll look into the stainless steel option but like Bob I doubt i will be able to find anything at that price here in Australia.
Thanks again.
yep shoot mike I looked a good 30 gal pot with bells and whistles looks like 400 dollars. Gosh I might be brewing in aluminum for years.
becareful with that alum. bob. they say u shouldnt even drink out of cans or cook in it.
i worked in a alum. casting plant for years. its a big concern.
i was told to eat alot of fatty meat. ****! i just hate that! lol. not.
cheers mates!
Hi guys,
Quick update on the wine.
Tested it last night and SG has fallen just below 1.000. Taste has also improved on last time as not as sweet so overall i am pleased with its progress.
Thanks for letting us know. Now this is where Trevor will have to help out a little as I am not quit sure of processing in a barrel. I know you need to add some Potassium Metabisulphite to it. I use carboys and would rack at this point. But I think in a barrel you just wait till it clears.
No worries.
I'm thinking of racking in the next few weeks.
When the wine has settled and separated (usually quite soon after fermentation has stopped) and you are happy with the taste, it is time to rack it off into containers where it can settle out.
You will probably find sludge at the bottom, wine in the middle and grapes at the top.
Just open the spigot and run out the wine (you may have to poke around to clear the way) into containers. Then put the barrel on its side, scoop out the grapes and put them through the press. This will give you a lot more wine !
Check SO2 level and add metabisulphite if needed.
Store in demijohns or whatever you are using (with an airlock or sealed top - even plastic and elastic bands)until it clears. Keep the wine in a dark cool place.
Rack off after about 6 weeks and, if necessary, after another 10 weeks or so
How can you make it stop a second fermentation. We made several types of wine, cherry, pear, peach blackberry. Some of it is fizzy, some is like it should be. Why is some okay, others aren't? Very confusing to us!!
To stop fermentation. First, you need to add Campden tablets (sulphite) then you need to add Sorbate. Suggest you get advice from the shop where you buy you wine stuff.
Fruits ferment at different speeds that is probably why some are still fizzy and others are not.
Mary trying to stop a ferment is hard and takes a lot of practice. That is why most just finish fermenting then as Trevor stated above add SO2 and Sorbate then just add sugar and citric acid if needed. If you don't have a PH meter for acid and are doing it by taste add enough acid to make it a bit tangy as it will decay over time.

Command Cyber Readiness Inspection coming to MacDill
Command Cyber Readiness Inspection coming to MacDill
Posted 3/17/2011 Updated 3/17/2011

MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla.
-- It used to be that a pair of loose lips, or maybe failing to secure a folder stamped "TOP SECRET" could lead to the loss of valuable military information. These days, with the Internet and computer networks, there are nearly countless ways information can make its way into the wrong hands.
How well MacDill is securing that information is what a team of inspectors from the Defense Information Systems Agency will be evaluating April 11 through 15. The Command Cyber Readiness Inspection DISA's newest tool to ensure connections to the Global Information Grid are secure.
Pam Hartnagel, 6th Air Mobility Wing Information Assurance manager, has just a few simple words about this critical inspection: "It's coming; be prepared for it."
The CCRI is on par with the Operational Readiness Inspection in terms of the potential impact, and should not be treated as just a routine once-over of how MacDill is handing information, she said. Computer network protection, security procedures, protocols in classified areas right on down to whether an Airman removes a common access card from a computer when leaving their desk for lunch will be scrutinized.
"It's a serious inspection, and we have to prepare," she said, adding that a series of information bulletins and guidance for preparing will be rolled out over the coming days. A team from her section will also be visiting all units on base to assess compliance and advise MacDill members regarding information protection and issues related to the inspection. It can be the "little things" that people forget, and the goal is to ensure everyone pays attention to details," Ms. Hartnagel said.
"Removing CAC cards, sanitizing your area, making sure people entering secure areas are properly signed in; all these things are important."
Now that MacDill has migrated its computer network to Air Force control, many of the network control and management issues no longer reside locally. That means there are fewer areas of responsibility on base, but that means inspectors will focus even more on "physical security," said Ms. Hartnagel.
"Expect to put in some time preparing your workplace," she said. "They (inspectors) will be taking a good look at physical security issues, so it's not just computers."

Vastu sleeping direction
The Vastu sleeping position with head in the North direction is strongly opposed. It might cause major illnesses and sleepless nights for the person sleeping in such a position.
Vastu Shastra highly recommends this direction as your usual sleeping position with head towards the South. This is believed to provide sound sleep and increase the wealth and prosperity in the household.
Sleeping with head resting in the East enhances memory, health and spiritual inclination. It is usually advised by Vastu Shastra Consultants to plan the children's room in such a way that their Vastu sleeping direction comes out to be east. This leads to higher concentration and retention power.
This is not a very advisable sleeping position. Vaastu Shastra says sleeping with head resting in West might cause disturbed sleep due to nightmares, some major illness and tendency towards violence.
In this Vastu section of Indiahousing.com, we aim to cover every detail of Vastu Shastra and intent to provide you a comprehensive collection of articles answering all your searches on Vastu Vidya.

One of the best times to buy shares of a company's stock is at an IPO. Many major companies traded at their lowest prices during their first public offering and have never traded at these levels since. Google is a perfect example of this. Google's stock was priced at $85 per share during its IPO and has never since returned to those levels. Today the stock trades at over $520 per share.

Blue Chip Dividend Stocks
There were a lot of companies announcing earnings over the past few weeks. Along with these earnings announcements, a couple of blue chip dividend stocks have recently decided to increase their dividends. This is good for investors that are looking to make some income in a choppy market. Giving more cash to shareholders is a good strategy for attracting new investors. Here are 4 blue chip companies that are increasing their dividends

What Are Mutual Funds?
A lot of people are often confused about the differences between a stock and a mutual fund. The two terms are often used interchangeably despite the fact that they are two completely distinct investments. Both asset classes can provide investors with growth but their are different risks and rewards for each.

My Dividend Picks Beat Wall Street
I was contacted by a reader about the performance of 5 dividend stocks that I selected last May.The original article focused on Companies with outstanding dividend yields. He judged the performance of the five stocks over a one year time period. The 5 stocks that I selected were BP, Altria, Verizon, AT&T, and Total. Let's see how my dividend picks did.
Don't Buy LinkedIn Shares
The LinkedIn (LNKD) IPO has made a ton of money for early investors with the social media company seeing its price more than double in a few days. A lot of investors will be tempted to buy shares because of the price momentum. This would be a mistake. Early investors have made their money which means leaves one investor that will likely buy shares now and is always late to the table.
Too Big To Fail
I watched an interesting movie on HBO last night titled Too Big To Fail. It was a docudrama about the financial collapse that took place in 2008. It was based on a book by Andrew Ross Sorkin. I always find investing related movies fascinating because the financial sector is one that I am so interested in. In the past, I thought that Wall Street and Boiler Room were two pretty good works of fiction.
Investing For Income
When investing in the stock market, many investors only focus on the capital appreciation of investments only. While there is nothing wrong with seeking to make money over the long haul; many investors are sacrificing the possibilities of earning short term income. This income could come in the form of quarterly distributions.
Value Stocks Or Value Traps?????
The recent market pullback has caused a number of companies to see their share prices fall. These pullbacks are creating a few more values in the marketplace for investors. It is however important for investors to differentiate between value stocks and value traps so they don't catch a falling knife. Let's take a look at a few companies that have dropped in recent days and see if they are value stocks or value traps.
A Property Insurance Company With A 5% Dividend Yield
The insurance industry has been taking a beating in recent weeks as natural disasters have been unfolding all across the world. Property insurers and reinsurers have been forecasting losses from an expected rise in claims over the next few months. This will affect the cash flow of these companies and there ability to increase dividends for the year. There is however a medium sized insurance company that has a history of increasing its dividend in both good and bad economic environments.

According to David Lennon of Newsday, It appears the Mets will be bidding for Francisco Rodriguez or Brian Fuentes.
The one they get will be determined by the length of the contract each desires and of course the amount. The Mets are waiting for the medical reports for Rodriguez whom they have not seen..
K-Rod is 26 years old and Fuentes is 33 years old. The Mets here are probably looking for the younger of the two, which would be Rodriguez. They also can market Rodriguez in their new ballpark, Citi-Field...
Joe DeMayo of NYBD said yesterday in his rumor report, that the Mets are in fact targeting Francisco Rodriguez.
In Other Notes:
Lennon also points out that the Mets still remain interested in Raul Ibanez, but many teams will be bidding for his services.
They also appear to be interested in Oliver Perez and Derek Lowe, who I mentioned both will be considered.
The Price is right: Either Fuentes or K-Rod...

UMass Amherst Research Develops 'Second Skin' Military Fabric to Repel Chemical and Biological Agents
UMass Amherst polymer scientists Kenneth Carter and James Watkins, collaborating with team leader Francesco Fornasiero of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), recently received a five-year $1.8 million grant to design ways to manufacture the new material as part of a $13 million project funded by the U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency. It's estimated that the new uniforms could be deployed in the field in less than 10 years.

Quotes & Highlights
Inside Music, an informative talk free to ticketholders, begins one hour prior to concerts.
Meet Simon Trpceski for a CD signing in the Symphony Store following the concerts.
Former Music Director Edo de Waart returns for the first time since 1997, introducing many listeners to the music of Franz Schreker, whose lush and dramatic work could be considered a precursor to the rich film scoring we know today. Rachmaninoff's sophisticated Fourth Piano Concerto is characteristic in its enormity, but with an unexpected modernness of sound. In a climactic work suitable for de Waart's return, thundering Organ Symphony provides abundant thrills.

Being the first of the month, it is the time to honor One of Hardin County's Finest Cooks, and what a pleasure it is to honor someone I have known for some time.
Nominated by her daughters, Amy Horn Meredith and Monica Horn Iler, this month's honoree is Norma Goodman Horn of Howevalley. Not only did I have Norma and her husband in class at West Hardin High School, I also had her two daughters, Monica and Amy, at Central Hardin High School.

Hardin County's recycling trailer in Stephensburg may have vanished, but it is not a permanent disappearing act.
The trailer — once at the corner of U.S. 62 and Eastview Road — was forced to relocate once the landowner sold the property, said Bob Hall, county solid waste coordinator.
The previous owner allowed the county to place the trailer there because he was not using the corner, Hall continued, but the new owner has identified a use for the property.

By MARY ALICE HOLT This is another recipe from Barbara Watkins of Bonnieville, and, luckily for us, it's another really good, really easy recipe. This tastes like something you've spent a good deal of time making, sweating over a hot stove. In reality, it just takes a few minutes of "prep time" and then 30 to 40 minutes of cooking time.
Phyllis Ann Kampe Atteberry, 63, of Bonnieville, died Sunday, June 27, 2010. The funeral is at 11 a.m. CDT Thursday at Brooks Funeral Home in Munfordville with burial in Weldon Cemetery in Bonnieville. Visitation continues from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. CDT today and from 9 to 11 a.m. CDT Thursday at the funeral home.

Even in a tough economy, there are some bright spots. For example, many expensive purchases have gotten a lot less costly because of industry problems, a steep decline in consumer spending or both.

"I'm proud to join UC Irvine Extension and look forward to working collaboratively with my campus colleagues and the community," said Loble. "I am excited to be a part of an organization with a long history of innovative instructional technology development, design, and delivery, and to have the opportunity to build upon that success."
Loble succeeds Jia Frydenberg, Ph.D., an industry veteran who played a critical role in establishing UC Irvine's Distance Learning Center in 2001. Today, the UC Irvine Distance Learning Center serves nearly 14,000 students in online classes each year.

Westmoreland Argonaut Candy Dish
- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category: Glass
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: Mar 24, 2007
- Channel: Auction House
This lovely covered dish is signed Westmoreland and is truly very pretty with it's irredescent amethyst lid and irredescent white base. It looks just like mother of pearl. It is the argonaut pattern and is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or repairs and the luster is also in very good condition with minimal wear to it. I don't know if this classifies as carnival glass but it has the same irredescence.I do accept paypal but please understand that even though the money is taken out of your account immediately - it does not clear in my bank until three business days later and the paypal echecks take even longer. I prefer checks because of the cost of paypal so please keep that in mind. I will email invoices at the completion of the auction and would appreciate an email stating that you received this information. My shipping costs reflect the cost of bubble wrap and shipping peanuts so please understand that I do have to pay for these supplies and they are part of the cost of shipping. I DO NOT use newspaper or shredded paper to pack with because these are antiques that have lasted this long and I would prefer to have them continue to be enjoyed as a part of history. If payment is made through paypal, then I will guarantee the item to be shipped within three business days which is the length of time it takes for the payment to clear to my bank. If it is not shipped within that time period, then shipping is free. This applies to all transactions! If it is paid for by check, then it is still guaranteed to be shipped within three business days of receipt of the check and I will notify you when payment is received. I list most of my items on Saturday or Sunday each week and really like primitives and early glass or pottery. IF I DO NOT GET A BID ON AN ITEM BY LATE TUESDAY EVENING< THEN I WILL MOST LIKELY END THE LISTING AND TAKE IT TO A LIVE AUCTION!

- Article
- References
- Cited By
In this article, we investigate the welfare consequences of disclosure of vertical contracts. When much of retail competition is among products provided by a dominant supplier, disclosure provides a means through which the supplier can use its prices to coordinate the retail behavior of its wholesale customers. From the retail consumers' perspective, such coordination is unwanted, leading them to favor opacity of contracts. When retail competition is across brands made by different suppliers, disclosure becomes a conduit through which suppliers compete indirectly via their retail surrogates. Consumers welcome the increased competition accompanying such disclosures. In short, the efficacy of disclosure standards depends critically on the suppliers' market reach and the relative intensity of intrabrand versus interbrand retail competition.

AbstractTechnical abstract 13.1-005 Today there is no sub-sonic ammunition currently type classified for use in the calibers provided by any DoD Service. Although sub-sonic rounds exist for some calibers, these rounds are not cost effective and exhibit excessive deviations in velocity (affecting accuracy), incomplete chamber sealing, absence of clean propellant burn, and inability to cycle the action on gas operated weapons. For 5.56mm, 7.62mm, and 0.338 calibers, we propose to investigate the feasibility of producing cost effective, functional and accurate sub-sonic rounds. This study will expand on a similarly focused feasibility study our company conducted during the year prior to the release of SOCOM13-005. We will reconsider the technical approaches that were rejected and critically review our proprietary technologies (Patents Pending) related to incorporating into the manufacturing process the rapid production of interior case volumes, optimal for sub-sonic calibers and projectiles. This feasibility effort will include evaluation of viability of polymer casings, case volume to projectile weight balancing, projectile shape, brass case interior sleeves, and propellant bonding. By recommending commercially feasible methods to manufacture reliable sub-sonic rounds, this study addresses a need to improve the survivability of Special Operations Forces and other Governmental Agencies in the Global War on Terror.

recipe for mediocrity:
take old pictures, do google=celan, skim his poems. every time you see a line which vaguely, and by huge vast leeways of interpretation, could go along with an old photo you have previously done, copy and paste that sucker onto that jpeg.
kinkos will make pretty glossies for less than 2 dollars apiece.
sensitive artistic poetic flimflammery o'connors for all. i fear that i will be asked to present these in person though, which might involve emoting. shit.
i did do one new picture, which i put in the large format...everything else is in cute little thumbnail links. *ahref href* sounds like someone has a cough!
so, if anyone likes Paul Celan, they might be interested in these thingies. if only to laugh at how completely unrelated the pictures really are to the text. wait. maybe Celan fans should stay far, far away from this-a-one... :P

Ratings for Dr. D.G. Seibel
Immensely impressed with Dr. Seibel! I have only had ONE doctor in my life who has taken my pain seriously. I have Fibromyalgia and the pain (and other symptoms) have not only become worse through the years of Many other doctors neglecting to address or even Test where and how this pain is originating. Asked my previous doctor about possible arthritis in my neck. Her response was simply that yes I probably do, but there's nothing to treat it except surgery and won't do it on such a minor condition. She Never even TOUCHED my neck, let alone muscle or other testing. Been through many physicians over 30 years trying to get this sorted out. Dr Siebel listened, has tested, and indicted that a key ligament in my neck has actually been torn and separated (car accident), and is now beginning therapy. This may not be the cure for all my ills, but he took me seriously instead of dismissing my increasing disability due to pain.
I found the doc very helpful and knowledgable. As an athlete facing retirement due si joint problems, I can confidently say after trying EVERYTHING he paved the way for my recovery ! 100% and competing again at even a higher level due to the 2nd chance. Very thankful.
Some of the comments on here seem to be from people that will complain about anything and everything.Very smart and knows chronic pain.He truly cares.Most doctors wouldnt take on his patients as they are in dire situatio.ns .Smartest pain doctor .
Came to see him because he is cheap treating with prolo injections. That was 2009. Went with huge doubt because this doctors qualification are such as *only* B.Sc., M.D. Had been warned actual by former patient of his when Dr. D. Seibel worked at MAYFIELD MEDICAL SOFT TISSUE PAIN CLINIC, 11056-156 street, Edmonton. Dr. Seibel actual was forced by authorities and license to close the clinic. Anyhow, I went regardless in 2009 to him in now the area of 50 st and 38th ave in Edmonton. I was one of the first patients there since he re-opened in Millwoods. Well, what can one say? Dr. Seibel was SO sick himself, puked constantly in front of his patients, popped pills like inhaling air but preached about natural approach. I recall him once getting upset with me when I insisted YES, there a nerve called SCIATICA. He stubbornly told me that my knowledge is misguided by doctors and that there is NO, sciatica nerve??? I kept going because true he has charm BUT only on his pain - free days. Which is rare! Indeed he listens! People who are in pain want to be listen to. I had nothing much more to loose when it came to my pain. It had taken over my life and I was afraid of to much cortisone injections for a female. Also narcotic medicines I am no friend of. So, he Dr. Seibel seem to be my best alternative. !!!! At the time his receptionist Dawn (btw. the office changes receptionists like one changes underwear, often) was doing work for the doctor ONLY a trained medical assistant should ever do. For example LASER therapy, acupuncture. Anyhow I received many, many injections in to my back, neck, skull, through ears, face, foot , tummy and even Labia majora (Female External Genitalia. OUCH, indeed. Again my body was a mess and I felt HOPE, and so went for all. ~~~ During the time and over many years to be exact 6 years Dr. Seibel maybe 7 times used sterilization before injections. NOT *ONCE* have a seen Dr. Seibel wash or clean his hands between patients. MY own family expressed sincere concern about his hygiene and showed deep worry about the cleanness of this medical office. Again, I was in such pain; all I wanted was to be pain-free. Dr. Seibel goes in with patient, does his preaching' injections' TALKS, and out back he is in to his little office where he popes his pills, and does trading COINS on eBay. His true love.~~~ I seen blood on the floor, sheet, old used syringes he missed throwing in to the garbage lying on the floor, and tissue swipes with blood laying around. There is absolutely no confidentiality in the doctors office. At one point there were files over files laying stocked up the waiting room for anyone to peruse through. Dawn, the receptionist had orders to clean up and shred old files. That's a great idea but not when privacy of patients is at stake. Dr. Seibel's new wife Naydia calls herself office manager. Very money hungry women pushes Dr. Seibel to work, work when truly his wish as he expressed is to retire. Money, money, money! Oh and did I write one time *SHE* injected me in my lower back because at time of my appointment the doctor puked and could not do it? There is so much against all norms of a clean doctors office going on one can fill pages. The office will give out for the extra, additional pay of patients receipt for Acupuncture because legally he be otherwise in trouble. So, each patient actual participates in a illegal way of doing business. Finally I stopped going to Dr. Seibel. It clicked in my brain that I could easy be paralyzed by his dysfunctional shaking hands, and actual his mood changes were getting to me. More important after all these years and bi-weekly treatment the result of my health showed no improvement. I learned that prolo injection when done proper will work between 3 - 9 treatment. I consider Dr. Seibel a Frankenstein who reckons with framed participation's lecture events on his office walls and truly has only one degree, that is family medicine. Anyhow, his no hygiene office cost me medical huge problems for which now I am treated. WHEN people are in desperate situations such as huge pains people go for HOPE, and since Dr. Seibel lets you talk people think he is HOPE. Look around the office, check credentials, look for hygiene, watch the physician himself if he is healthy/shaky with body from his own medical problems , and if that's ok with you make your choice. Shaste', and good luck and NO I am no bitter or have ill feelings for the office. I am writing because I speak the truth and you now have the opportunity to make your choice.
Dr. Seibel is an extremely knowledgeable and intelligent doctor who listens to what you feel is going on physically and possibly emotionally, and then explains what really is happening with your body and how to fix it. He has repaired so many issues for me from small tears in my shoulder, to ankle problems that I had for three years and no one could do anything for it. He treats chronic and very painful situations, patient after patient yet he remains like a rock being there for each person looking for solutions that are achievable. He is a very warm, gentle person who treats me with respect and leaves me hopeful for the future, which he has proven to work several times already. The office is extremely well kept and clean and the patient room is cleaned behind each patient. The Doctor is very clean and follows medical protocol when needling, by using alcohol swabs before injecting etc. The office staff are very kind and compassionate as well as organized and efficient. I have seen Doctor Seibel for many, many years and he is not only my pain Doctor but he is my Family Doctor. He tends to my needs as a patient like I was a dear friend. You can't get that kind of treatment any where else in this day and age. kudos to Dr Seibels office as I rate it extremely high in all applicable categories.
I have been receiving treatment from Dr.Seibel twice a week since 2010. In all that time there has NEVER been a BLONDE receptionist!!! The RECEPTIONISTS, ALL BRUNETTES, are professionals who keep the office immaculately clean and always clean the exam room each and everytime. I receive injection therapy weekly and this office charges patients a fraction of the cost that other practices do...why? Because Dr. Seibel understands that myself and others are living on pittance of support and without cheaper therapeutic charges, we could not afford the neccessary life altering treatments. Dr. Seibel, with his vast medical knowledge, would not endanger his patients by not following proper procedure. Dr.Seibel is clean, uses new needles and disinfects injection sites everytime. Yes, this Doctor is unorthodox..but that is what makes him extraordinary! For nearly 5 years, Dr. Seibel's committment to treating me has never faltered, he has NEVER given up or been frustrated with me. Dr. Seibel and his staff have always shown me genuine kindness, compassion and give me hope for my future. It has been a privilege to be a patient of Dr. Seibel and I am grateful to him for giving me a fighting chance at life.
I have just started with Dr. S, I have found a Dr. Who listens to me completely, what I am feeling, how I'm sleeping and he explains what he is doing and why. I found the office very clean and I saw the staff clean the room after the patient before me. I'm not sure what the other review is about I did not find any filth on any of my visits. I would recommend Dr. S to anyone looking for a Dr. who really listens.
I had a car accident in 2001 and was in very poor condition. I went to physio everyday for a year with no results of getting better. Dr Seibel consulted my case based on the physio recommendation cause they had no ideas left. After 4yrs of going to him regularly I still have headaches due to the MVA but I can now left my arms over my head and have no severe pain and Im not on medication except advil once in awhile. He totally saved my life. Yes I had long waiting times, the staff was not the most professional, but I will take that any day to be healthy.
Dr. Frankenstein on duty. Filthy, unorthodox and a place to get ill rather getting well. No wiping, no hand washing by doctor, no sterilization wipe before injection. This place is a incubator for transmitting bacterias. The heavy set female with blonde hair is giving out much to many personal information which as a patient i don't care for. Her name is Nadeya, or something similar. She discussed open her way of getting her days so she can retire . Counted days and month! Unprofessional like I care. I was referred there because that doctor is cheap. Well, you get what you pay. I pay for health, absolutely . I don't pay for a bacteria infested environment. The bed btw was not redone but the receptionist flattened the paper out. I am reporting this GP for unhygienic medical practise. People in desperate need will stay. But be aware you just might walk out with more than you bargained for. HIV/AIDS easy is transmitting when no hygiene is in place. Horrible hygiene standards.
Dr. Seibel's office has a slightly unorthodox feel to it, but I had received a strong recommendation that this doctor could get results where so many others had failed. My hip flexors were getting so tight that it was pulling everything from my hips down out of alignment. Stretching and IMS were proving futile. I was losing ground no matter what I tried and I was scared that my future was going to cripple me. I have only been seeing DR. Seibel for 3 weeks now, but his incredible knowledge and therapy has had impressive results and relief. Not to mention, he has been able to explain to me what is happening in my body, and how we can correct it, which has helped so much in explaining away my fear. His staff have been very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. I have only been kept waiting for my appointment by 1/2 hr one time. Every other time has been prompt and on time. I have really enjoyed everything about my experience at Dr. Seibel's office, and I would recommend him to anyone seeking improved physical well being, and a fresh perspective on the root of their health challenge. Thank you so much for everything Doc!

Not for the bike or helmet, but something to let me see while walking.
If we get any snow here, it's going to be safer for me if I get the bike of the streets and hike in the grass. Don't want to have to carry/hold a flashlight for the 2-3 mile hike home after work. Also will come in handy on those days that I walk due to bike being down for repairs.
Might be something for the touring crowd who camp, but figured I'd post here first.

text: It's typically a given that undervalued stocks come with a "but". In other words, there's usually a reason that a stock is trading below fair value and it's up to investors to decide if the prevailing sentiment is overlooking the longer-term opportunity. In the case of Turkcell (NYSE:TKC), that's a very difficult question to answer. On one hand, the company's improving post-paid subscriber base and generally more rational competition bode well for profits. On the other hand, Turkey is going through a very dangerous time and the the squabbling between Turkcell's major shareholders have prevented the company from paying a dividend for multiple years now. When Grown-Ups Act Like ChildrenThe biggest issue for Turkcell is that its major shareholders do not get along in the slightest. It is a complicated situation with a lot of history, but the gist of it as is follows. More than half (51%) of the shares of Turkcell are owned by Turkcell Holding – a consortium owned by TeliaSonera (Nasdaq:TLSNY) (47%) and Cukurova Holdings (47%), which is in turn owned by Cukurova (51%) and Altimo (49%). Unfortunately, Cukurova took out a loan from Altimo years back and used its 13.8% net stake in Turkcell as collateral. Cukurova defaulted and Altimo has claimed that the stake belongs to them. Cukurova has argued that they should have the right to repay the loan and reclaim the stake, the U.K. Privy Council has agreed (and why a U.K. body even gets a say is another long story...). SEE: The Value Investors Handbook The long and short of it is this – control of Turkcell Holding (which is the majority owner of Turkcell) is up in the air and none of the parties are willing to agree upon a proxy representative and allow an annual shareholder meeting to occur. As such, there can be no dividend payment. While the Privy Council's ruling in favor of Cukurova back in January was thought to pave the way to a resolution, that proved a vain thought – TeliaSonera has filed suit against Cukurova in New York for over $1 billion in damages and the Privy Council has not yet decided the interest that Cukurova owes Altimo, nor is it certain that Cukurova can afford the total bill which is likely to be in excess of $2 billion. In theory, this could all be resolved quickly. There have been two failed shareholder meeting attempts this year, and Turkish law states that the Capital Markets Board can name independent directors "if the governance of the board is not functioning". Unfortunately, this law seems to be more of a theoretical instrument designed to threaten/cajole companies into better governance. It has never, to my knowledge, been implemented and it seems like Turkish officials aren't quite sure how to proceed. With the Privy Council not likely to rule on the interest question before August, it may be difficult to resolve this situation and have a shareholder meeting unless the government steps up, and suffice it to say the Turkish government has more pressing issues today. The Base Business Is Getting BetterTurkcell has certainly taken its licks in the market. Vodafone (NYSE:VOD) and Avea (owned by Turk Telecom) have competed fiercely on price, and regulatory changes have generally been quite adverse for Turkcell. Along those lines, new on-net tariffs represent yet another threat to Turkcell's 50%+ market share. But things are looking up. Revenue rose 13% back in the first quarter on a 9% increase in ARPU and the first increase in revenue per minute (up almost 2%) in many years). Likewise, EBITDA was up 15%. Importantly, Turkcell is doing a very good job of recruiting post-paid customers (where ARPUs are 25% to 30% higher) and getting more high-value 3G/smartphone subscribers. Smartphone penetration is still below 15% in Turkey, but Turkcell has a great network. Turkcell's download speed is not only 3x better than that of Vodafone or Avea, but is actually twice that of the 4G networks of Verizon Wireless (co-owned by Verizon (NYSE:VZ)) and AT&T (NYSE:T). Couple that with only 38% nationwide penetration of post-paid plans, and I believe Turckell is well-placed to benefit from an increase in the most valuable Turkish mobile subscribers. It also doesn't hurt that Turkcell's rivals have substantially lower margins and have realized that they cannot afford to compete with cut-rate pricing indefinitely. The Bottom LineIf investors want to take advantage of the turbulence and worry in Turkey, I'd suggest buying the iShares Turkey (NYSE:TUR) ETF before Turkcell. That said, I do think Turkcell is meaningfully undervalued. On the basis of just mid-single digit revenue growth, I believe Turkcell is worth more than $16 per share today, and that does not include the possibility of upwards of $1.5 billion in cash (or nearly $2 per share) going back to shareholders in dividends once the ownership situation is resolved. Likewise, I think the company will pay a dividend around 4% on an ongoing basis. It's up to each investor if that's enough compensation for the hassle. Sooner or later this situation will be resolved, Turkcell will have its meeting, and dividends will be declared. In the meantime, it is likely that the shareholder drama and the backdrop of political instability in Turkey will overshadow the operating improvements at the company. Disclosure – As of this writing, the author owns shares of Turkcell.

Quinoa with Pomegranate and Pistachios

A great side dish for Holiday dinners that is healthy and oh so delicious. My quinoa salad with pomegranate, roasted almonds and pistachios, cilantro and green onions. It's also great with feta cheese. The onions and cilantro fresh from the garden.
To dress the table I love to add a bowl of persimmons and baby roses in little mason jars. The colors are so vibrant and rich. Some watermelon radish with salt from the farmer's market add to the colorful palette and are yummy to snack on.
- 1 cup red, white or a mix of both quinoa (I like to soak the quinoa for better digestion)
- 2.5 cup water
- 1 cup pomegranate (seeded)
- 0.5 cup feta cheese
- 0.5 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 green onion, chopped
- 0.5 cup almond
- 0.5 cup pistachio
- 5 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 lemon
- sea salt
- olive oil (the better the brand the better the taste)
- Drain the soaked quinoa and boil it with two cups water. When all the water has boiled away, let it cool.
- Chop cilantro and mix with pomegranate, green onion.
- Saute almonds and pistachios in olive oil on the stove top.
- Mix all the ingredients and add lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper.
