How Amla is Useful?
Amla or Indian Gooseberry is undoubtedly one of the richest sources of vitamin C. It has been a practice since ancient times to use Amla in many Ayurvedic medicines. Though all the parts of the herb are useful, the fruit has maximum medicinal properties. Amla itself or in combination with the other parts of the plant is used for nursing many ailments like common cold, cough and indigestion. It is used as a laxative, hair tonic, liver tonic and even as a digestive.
Clinical research has shown that Amla has antipyretic, analgesic, adaptogenic, antiatherogenic, cardioprotective; wound healing, gastro protective, antianemia, antihyercholesterolemia, neuroprotective, hepatoprotective and nephroprotective properties.
Research has also shown that several of its phytochemicals like ellagic acid, Gallic acid, pyrogallol, elaecarpusin, prodelphinidns B1 and B2 have antineoplastic activities. Scientific studies have further proved that Amla possesses radio-modulatory and chemo-modulatory effects, antioxidant, free radical scavenging, anti immunomodulatory activities and anti-inflammatory properties that are effective in management of cancer. This research has made Amla a reliable medicinal herb, which is quite effective and safe.
There have been many studies conducted to find whether Amla helps in controlling the cholesterol levels. A study in Japan has proved that Amla powder or extract helps reduce cholesterol and LDL levels. A study was conducted in rats having high cholesterol levels. They were either given Amla powder or Amla supplement. It was noted that the herbal fruit considerably reduced their cholesterol and LDL levels.
Another study, which was conducted in Japan, was to check the effect of Amla on renal or kidney diseases caused due to age factor. They concentrated on oxidative stress in the kidney of elder rats. The rats were fed Amla powder or tincture (Amla based) for 100 days. The rodents showed an improvement in urea nitrogen level and creatinine. Thus, it was concluded that Amla to an extent controls kidney disorders arising because of age.In addition, amla helps to refresh the body from within and even aids in healthy aging. Regular usage will surely help to maintain the overall health of the body.

Yes, Morpheme Amla capsule contains the extract of pure and organic amla fruit and certainly safe for consumption. These capsules are made using the latest technology and in hygienic conditions, which give you the purest form of the fruit, so that you can avail maximum benefit of the product.

3 reviews for Morpheme Amla Caps
I needed extra dosage of vitamin C, but I wanted to get it from a natural source, not from synthetic vitamin C supplements. I don't like the sour taste of citrus fruits. So I chose this Amla supplement. It not only met my daily vitamin C requirement, it also helped in energizing me and reduced stress.
Excellent quality Amla capsules. Daily I take two amla capsules to stay healthy. It has improved my digestion, reduced frequency of cold and cough, boosted stamina, lowered cholesterol number and caused significant improvement in the overall quality of my health.
Amla is the source of my Vitamin C need. Everyone knows the importance of Vitamin C and its positive effect on the body. Amla comes in capsule form.

Natural antioxidant
Emblica officinalis is a powerful natural antioxidant. It could inhibit cellular damage induced by reactive oxygen species or free radicals. The antioxidant activities of the Emblica officinalis fruit are primarily owing to ascorbic acid or vitamin C and tannins known as emblicanins A and B. Amalaki is one of the richest sources of vitamin C. Moreover, the 'Svaras Bhavana' method of processing the Emblica officinalis fruit according to Ayurveda, further boosts the therapeutic property of Emblica officinalis.
Almost 45 to 70% of the antioxidant activity of Emblica officinalis is attributed to vitamin C present in the fruit. (Scartezzini P, Antognoni F, Raggi MA, Poli F, Sabbioni C. "Vitamin C content and antioxidant activity of the fruit and of the Ayruvedic preparation of Emblica officinalis Gaertn." J Ethnopharmacol. 2006 Mar 8;104(1-2):113-8). Because of the antioxidant activity of Amla, it is used in the cosmetic industry as a popular ingredient in anti aging products. (Adil MD, Kaiser P, Satti NK, Zargar AM, Vishwakarma RA, Tasdug SA. "Effect of Emblica officinalis (fruit) against UVB-induced photo-aging in human skin fibroblasts." J Ethnopharmacol. 2010 Oct 28;132(1):109-14).
Reduces risk of cancer
The antioxidant property of Emblica officinalis might reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancers. Experimental studies suggest the medicinal fruit inhibits tumor growth and helps to kill the malignant cells. The chemopreventive property of Amla makes it a suitable adjuvant in cancer treatments. (Ngamikitidechakul C, Jaijoy K, Hansakul P, Soonthornchareonnon N, Sireeratawong S. "Antitumor effects of Phyllanthus emblica L: induction of cancer cell apoptosis and inhibition of in vivo tumor promotion and in vitro invasion of human cancer cells." Phytother Res. 2010 Sep;24(9):1405-13). Emblica officinalis extract could protect the body from radiation-induced cellular damage. (Jindal A, Soyal D, Sharma A, Goyal PK. "Protective effect of an extract of Emblica officinalis against radiation-induced damage in mice." Integr Cancer Ther. 2009 Mar;8(1):98-105).
Reduces risk of fungal infections
Amla could help to ward off Candida yeasts infections. Studies suggest that the Emblica fruit obstructs the yeasts from adhering to the epithelial cell. It could inhibit oral yeast infections. (Thaweboon B, Thaweboon S. "Effect of Phyllanthus emblica Linn. on candida adhesion to oral epithelium and denture acrylic." Asian Pac J Trop Med. 2011 Jan;4(1):41-5).
Helps accelerate wound healing
The antioxidant effect of Emblica officinalis accelerates the wound healing process. Presence of oxidants at the site of wounds, produced by the scavenging activities of macrophages and neutrophils, tend to delay the repair process. The antioxidant compounds in Emblica officinalis accelerate the wound healing process by boosting the antioxidant activity at the site of the wound. (Sumitra M, Manikandan P, Gayathri VS, Mahendran P, Suguna L. "Emblica officinalis exerts wound healing action through up regulation of collagen and extracellular signal-regulated kinesis (ERK1/2)" Wound Repair Regen. 2009 Jan-Feb;17(1):99-107).

so i am in the market for a decent (light) touring bike that i can also use for commuting (about 20 miles/day)
i have seen a few of trek's that are from the early/mid 80s and would like some feed back about how fun/reliable they tend to be
i am also curious as to the worth of these bikes
1984 Trek 620 touring bicycle
they said the wheelset has been upgraded from the original Helicomatic to a set of 700c clincher wheels with Specialized hubs and the rear derailleur is a Shimano XT.
but im not sure if i like where the shifters are located,
i was wondering if anyone has found the shifters being located at that particular area of the frame is at all cumbersome while mashing through the streets?
is this bike really worth $500?
if i can find a cheaper one, is there any notable issues with a 30 year old trek?

In response to Philip S. Parker's Sept. 23 letter, "Project derailed by defeatists," I strongly disagree with his point. I have no desire to be connected to downtown Portland, nor do I consider myself to live in the greater Portland metropolitan area. I live in Washington, not Oregon.
It seems that supporters of light rail to Clark County seem to forget (or don't really care) that Clark County is more than just Vancouver. Here in northern Clark County, things are a little more spread out. If Vancouver wants to add light rail so bad, let Vancouver pay for it. I have a hard time supporting something that will be run by an entity based in another state. TriMet can't run the light rail lines they have already without tons of money subsidizing them.
I have no problem with another bridge, but until Oregon fixes the bottleneck at Interstate 5 and Interstate 405, we could build a bridge with 20 lanes each way and still have traffic issues.
Now Oregon is trying to force its will on our state and jam light rail into Clark County whether we like it or not. Maybe Washington should force its way into downtown Portland and fix the bottleneck ourselves. Seems fair.
The simple solution for Parker would be to move to Gresham, Beaverton, or Hillsboro.

No to all of them, I like the life I'm living and it would be horrible to just leave everything I've done behind and live the life of another person, I don't have the perfect life but nobody does and no matter how well you know someone if you walked a mile in their shoes you're going to find something bad, the outward appearance of a person can hide a whole number of issues, sure, they may seem to be of average ability in everything and there's certainly nothing wrong with that, you can always improve if you work hard enough, but there is always something which is lying unnoticed, and you're going to find that eventually if you step into the life of someone else.
So uh yeah, no I wouldn't swap lives with someone, I'm fine with the cards I've been dealt thank you (And anyway

Well the nets certainly did get that "one day
pop�on Friday, which I said Thursday might may happen.
The question is�what now? Wow is that a tough one. My
take on the sector is that it desperately wants a big
rebound run, but will the Street
allow it? Here is my
thinking�If the overall market tone firms up and there is
strength in the Techs�the nets will participate. But I
think that even if we get a nice run, it won't be quite
the same as past internet runs have been. The
analysts are still a bit leery of the nets because of weak
or non existent
earnings. So be careful here but
nibbling on some of the best ones should reward you. CMGI
has earnings coming out soon and could spark some
buying there, DCLK is getting a lot of contracts and
looks good, MSPG has a split coming and is fairly cheap
now so it is a buy, BYND got a lot of attention over
their government contract and should be good for a
while, ABOV is "cheap" here, CNET and GNET have a lot of
ground to make up, LCOS has filed to triple the number
of shares
outstanding, PSIX is still the purest
net play of all, and ELNK is extremely attractive at
59 bucks.
One last note here� AOL, YHOO,
and AMZN don't look like they have the same strength
they used to have, because of the earnings problems at
AMZN, the bandwidth problems
at AOL, and the
concern over future revenues at YHOO. Be cautious until
this feeling

I meant it.
Iomega at least produced
products that is protected by
licenses and patents,
what did Ebay got?
The question I always asked
before I put my money into a stock, is, What do they
sell? Would I buy something like that, and, How is the
product affect the ways of life?
Ebay surely has
changed our ways of buying and selling, but only limit to
junks, outdated, one of a kind products(including
collectible). In another word, Ebay is a swap meet in a
national scale. Ebay makes a commission(some 6%) by doing
What stopping others to enter the Auction business?
None other than lots of cash(for advertisment, not for
What Ebay has done wrong is to
concentrate on develope/expand the core business, instead of
using the highly valued stock to
buyout other
companies(like global crossing does). And now, it might be a bit
too late. That is because the insiders are so eagerly
holding to their shares of the stock since IPO.
Just wait 'til the day investors/insiders start
dumping their stocks, and it will make the Iomega tale
look a lot better.
There are two ways to make money from holding a
stock: (1) dividends (2) capital gain. Fundamental
analysis can really only hope to price the former. There
is simply no reason to expect fundmaental analysis
to capure things that go into price appreciation,
because such things depend on investor sentiment,
bubbles, voodoo, and god knows what else.
fundamental analysis can really only give you a price floor.
If your one who thinks the fundamental value of Ebay
is low then (1) I agree with you, and (2) your only
prediction should be that Ebay won't fall below that price.
If technical analysists think they can predict the
whims of the market, then more power to them - but I
have never seen convincing evidence.
thoughtful answers to the question I posed last
night. Unfortunately I am running sick right now (a bad
feever brought by a friend all the way from Caracas), so
I won't be as active as normally in my postings -
I'll go home, and get some sleep, and be a little
I do enjoy though how people come right back at you

yet, HP?)
Signing off for today...
>>I hope to god the agency's are
monitoring this.
>> (Not your god, Poo!)
Oh, pooh pooh! I've already told you that Ebay is
unstoppable, and many have read the warning signs of the
coming financial apocalypse when the harbinger of the
antichrist will be realized fully against the Ebay short
sellers. This day of great woe is dawning, at the end of
this year, when Ebay will remain the only stock still
standing and Ebay, Inc. shall be the global supercompany
the whole world will turn to for financial salvation.
In that great day, no person will be able to buy or
sell except that he have an internet connection to
Doubt Ebay no longer! Repent of financial blasphemy,
and put your fiscal faith in Ebay!
As I just
heard on the ART BELL radio show
(http://www.artbell.com) "how did you live before Ebay?" Good question!
>>...I cannot sell everything I own and
follow Ebay.
You don't have to sell everything,
just your other stocks. Of course, you can keep other
stocks, but you must really concentrate on buying as much
Ebay as you can afford.
If you do consider
liquidating personal belongings, why not start auctioning
them off on Ebay? Ebay can change your life, you may
suddenly be the owner of a personal auction business, and
gain money to buy Ebay stock which is guaranteed to
give you untold riches.
a lower $ priced stock (i.e., a $14 stock v. $100
stock) has less risk than a stock with a higher stock
price. an example that comes to mind is Berkshire
Hathaway's class A shares. this stock has less risk than an
EBAY or a Yahoo.
Very good post but I don't think you can save these fools they still havn't figured out You can buy a good $14 stock that goes to $19 and it's the same as 140 to 190 with less risk.
I can see why you didn't have the mental stamina
to read all of my post. I mean after all, it must
have been at least ten sentences long, probably more!.
I can't even imagine how investors can actually
read all the sentences in a 10-Q. So many big words,
and all those graphs too. Oops, gotta go. Don't want
to miss Geraldo! He's great. He always tells me what
to think, so I don't even have to think for myself!
What's your favorite TV show?
fell asleep on your post
EBay is not the first bubble stock, and it won't
be the last. There is nothing miraculous about the
fact that the fundamentals seem to be denied in a
bubble stock. As seasoned market veterans know, the
surest sign that self-delusion is reaching a crescendo
in a bubble stock is when the players start saying,
"but this time is different!" I remember the big
Iomega bubble. Everyone thought growth was unbounded
with Zip drives replacing floppies and yes, folks,
even China came into the story. But of course,
eventually reality brought the stock to its knees and a lot
of naive investors lost a lot of money. So when will
the fundamentals take hold? No one can say for sure,
but there usually is some precipatating event that
shatters the myth. In EBay's case all it will take is for
growth to slow a little bit. As soon as investors
realize the exponential growth promised by the hypsters
is not a reality, then the illusion will be
shattered. I can't tell you when, but I can say that the
growth necessary to justify the current valuation is not
possible, and eventually this will show up in the numbers.
Once disappointment is in the air, this stock will
tumble hard and fast. History repeats. I sleep very,
very well at night with my short position in EBay.

Disability Living Allowance – sometimes referred to as DLA – is a tax-free benefit for children and adults who need help with personal care or have walking difficulties because they are physically or mentally disabled.
The information in this section is a guide only. The office dealing with your claim can answer any questions you may have about claiming and getting Disability Living Allowance.
Who can get Disability Living Allowance?
You may get Disability Living Allowance if:
- you have a physical or mental disability, or both
- your disability is severe enough for you to need help caring for yourself or you have walking difficulties, or both
- you are under 65 when you claim
You can get Disability Living Allowance whether or not you work.
It isn't usually affected by any savings or income you may have.
You can use the benefits adviser to find out if you are eligible. However from 8 April 2013, Personal Independence Payment (PIP) started to replace Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for people aged 16 to 64 with a health condition or disability.
If you're aged 65 or over, you may be able to get Attendance Allowance.
Special rules – if you're terminally ill
If you have a progressive disease and are not expected to live for more than another six months there are special rules to help you get the benefit quickly and easily. You must:
- complete a DLA claim form
- include a DS1500 form – you can only get these from a doctor, specialist or consultant
You can do this on behalf of someone else without their permission. The letter about the money awarded won't mention 'special rules'.
Medical examinations
You might get a letter saying you need to attend an assessment to check your eligibility. The letter explains why and where you must go. Your benefit may be stopped if you don't go.
At the assessment, you'll be asked for identification. You can use a passport or any three of the following:
- birth certificate
- a full driving licence

How much do you get?
Disability Living Allowance has two parts called 'components':
- a care component – if you need help looking after yourself or supervision to keep safe
- a mobility component – if you can't walk or need help getting around
Some people will be entitled to get just one component; others may get both.
The care component and mobility component are paid at different rates depending on how your disability affects you. FInd out more about what you'll get on the GOV.UK website.
How it's paid
Disability Living Allowance is normally paid directly into any account of your choice that accepts Direct Payment of benefits. This might be a bank, building society or other account provider.
You may be able to get someone else to collect your Disability Living Allowance – for help contact your bank, building society or other account provider.
Effect on other benefits and entitlements
If you start to get Disability Living Allowance it might increase the amount of other benefits you're entitled to, for example:
- Income Support
- income-related Employment and Support Allowance
- Pension Credit
- Housing Benefit
- Council Tax Benefit
- Working Tax Credit
- Child Tax Credit
Disability Living Allowance is ignored as income for working out these income-related benefits and tax credits.
Rates and how to claim
Claim straight away – if you delay you may lose benefit.
You can claim online or get a claim pack by:
- phoning the Benefit Enquiry Line: Telephone: 0800 88 22 00, Textphone: 0800 24 33 55 Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm
- contacting your local Jobcentre Plus office or local social security office
- downloading the form here:
- Download 'DLA claim pack – child'
- Download 'DLA claim pack – child interactive'
- Download 'DLA claim pack – adult'
- Download 'DLA claim pack – adult interactive'
What else you need to know
To get Disability Living Allowance you must generally be in Great Britain or treated as living here, and meet certain other conditions about your residence and presence.
Also, changes to your circumstances can affect the amount of Disability Living Allowance you get or whether you get it. For example, this could be a stay in hospital or if your disability gets worse or better.
Usually your DLA won't be affected if you:
- go into hospital or a care home for less than 4 weeks (or 12 weeks if you're a under 16)
- go abroad for less than 13 weeks
- go abroad for less than 26 weeks to get medical treatment for a condition which began before you left

Wettest day in March since 1984
Over a hundred millimetres of rain drenched Sydney's CBD and outer suburbs on Thursday with the heaviest downpour soaking commuters during peak hour.PT0M0S 620 349
New South Wales is on flood watch again today, with a series of warnings issued overnight after yesterday's downpour in Sydney.
Minor warnings have again been issued for the Hawkesbury and Nepean river areas, with the North Richmond and Windsor bridges predicted to close later today.
Flooded ... the centre of the town of Forbes. Photo: Reuters
The bridges remain open for the morning commute and will likely remain so until early afternoon. The Yarramundi bridge shut overnight.
The Hawkesbury River is set to reach 8.0 metres at North Richmond about midday and 6.2 metres at Windsor a few hours later.
If these peaks eventuate, the river will be higher than last weekend, when both bridges were closed.
Sydney Submerged
Sydney has suffered its heaviest rainfall in five years, bringing the city's transport system to a halt and causing hundreds of rescues and evacuations. Pictures by various Fairfax photographers. Selected images available from www.fairfaxsyndication.com. Follow us at http://twitter.com/photosSMH. Photo: Ben Rushton
Further downstream, both the Lower Portland and Sackville ferries remain closed.
Menangle is likely to be the worst affected area on the Nepean River and was expected to flood this morning.
On the south coast, the SES was forced to evacuate 100 Bega residents in the middle of the night, with flood levels predicted to peak at 3am this morning.
The Bega River is set to hit 6.4 metres and areas of the town will reach 6.1 metres, including the NSW ambulance station.
Nowra is also on alert, with residents along the Shoalhaven River preparing for minor flooding.
Meanwhile, about 1000 residents of Forbes in the state's Central West remain evacuated, with the crisis unlikely to evaporate today. The Lachlan River remained steady overnight but is expected to rise again later today.
The Murrumbidgee River is also expected to peak again today and more than 1000 residents from the Griffith region have already left their homes.
At Narrandera, southeast of Griffith, the Bureau of Meteorology has warned of major flooding. Nearby townships of Darlington Point, Carathool and Hay have also been told to expect inundation.
No heavy rain is forecast for NSW during the next week, though there is a chance of showers in Sydney from tomorrow to Tuesday.
A bureau climatologist, Aaron Coutts-Smith, said higher-than-average rainfall was likely for NSW until May, particularly west of the Great Dividing Range.
The main cause was an unusually warm eastern Indian Ocean. "It's providing extra moisture in the atmosphere which can then fall as rain."
Heavy rain yesterday morning caused transport chaos in Sydney as flash flooding closed main roads and railway lines, inundated railway stations and prompted a flood warning for the Cooks and Georges rivers.
Observatory Hill yesterday recorded its highest daily rainfall - 109 millimetres - in almost five years. Lucas Heights, in the south, received the highest in Sydney - 134 millimetres in the 24 hours to 9am.

This lightweight, spray-on sunscreen lotion provides sufficient UVA protection thanks to its in-part titanium dioxide sunscreen. It is recommended for normal to dry skin, but would've been rated higher if it contained appreciable amounts of antioxidants. The more ingredients in a sunscreen that help protect skin from environmental damage, the better!
Contains a blend of mineral and chemical sunscreens to provide broad-spectrum sun protection and to moisturize skin.
Active: Octoxynol (10%), Octinoxate (7.5%), Titanium Dioxide (3.8%), Other: Water, Glycerin, Polydecene, Cyclomethicone, Dimethicone, Lauryl Glucoside, Polyglyceryl-2-Dipolyhydroxystearate, Butylparaben, Disodium EDTA, Ethylparaben, Fragrance, Isobutylparaben, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Methylparaben, O-Cyman-5-Ol, Phenoxyethanol, Propylparaben, Tocopheryl Acetate, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Trimethoxycaprylylsilane, Xanthan Gum, Zinc Oxide
Eau Thermale Avene At-a-Glance
Strengths: Some excellent cleansers; well-formulated sunscreens; moisturizers that help to treat very dry, fragile skin; praiseworthy lip balms.
Weaknesses: Can be on the pricey side.
Eau Thermale Avene's most prominent claim to fame is the thermal spring water in its products, which the brand maintains is curative due to both historical and scientific evidence. Unfortunately, there isn't much evidence that we could locate that was in the form of published, peer-reviewed research. Without the research, thermal water is ultimately more about marketing than fact—however, the good news is whatever the factualness of their claims about the ingredient, at least thermal water isn't going to harm your skin in any way.
Thermal water aside, what is clear is that Avene's goal is to provide formulas for those who battle sensitive skin concerns. With that in mind, we can say there are quite a few successes among the brand's range of offerings. There are also a few products we saw as missteps for reasons noted in their respective reviews.
Overall, Eau Thermale Avene's more praiseworthy qualities is the range of options provided for those that have exceptionally sensitive skin, i.e. who may have been unable to tolerate more advanced anti-aging formulas. While we would have liked to see more in the way of complexity of anti-aging formulas from Avene (and fewer claims about thermal water), the particular direction the brand takes towards skincare is one that has its audience.

The Panorama Room: "We've Hit the Jackpot!" Top 5 Page for this destination Sky 360 Restaurant Tip by Bwana_Brown
Sky 360 Restaurant, Calgary: 7 reviews and 8 photos
Due to a strange set of circumstances that transpired one floor above on the Observation Deck of the Calgary Tower (see Off the Beaten Path for details), we found ourselves sitting in the The Panorama Room revolving restaurant only 1 hour after leaving our disasterous breakfast at Nellie's Kitchen. Since our stomachs were still a trifle full, our server, Stephane, recommended that we start with sample plate of their various appetizers. We fully agreed with his choice!
Favorite Dish: While waiting for the appetizer plate, the three of us ordered fresh strawberry daquiris to sip on while we congratulated ourselves on our good luck at landing this free meal! I briefly contemplated ordering a bottle of their US$190 Dom Perignon champagne, but didn't really think that would be in keeping with the spirit of things!
The plate, when it arrived had quite a selection of choices: grilled prawn, scallops, smoked salmon, shaved duck, air-dried buffalo slices, Indian candied salmon, wild berry chutney and lemon slices with dill and mustard mayonnaise to boot. We took our time nibbling away because we were in no big rush for the main course just yet!
A platter for two like this normally costs about US$15

A good friend of mine is heavily into organic food and drink and is constantly talking to me about it. Inspired by a recent conversation with her combined with a recent trip to see The Corporation and all the attendant guilt associated with supporting large corporate interests in just about everything we consume, I thought I might dig up some information about organic wine and see what was in the offing.
I've had some organic wines before, which range from the lousy (shall remain nameless) to the pretty good (Yorkville Vineyards). I was surprised to find that a few large producers like Niebaum-Coppola actually produce a large number of organic or partially organic wines.
Organic is cool, but then there's biodynamic, which when I heard about it recently seems more like witchcraft than a legit farming method -- as if a bunch of high(ly) new age spiritualist vegans got together and came up with a set of practices that would ensure their vineyards would always have the right aura. According to the Biodynamic Farming and Gardening Association of America: "Biodynamics is a method of agriculture which seeks to actively work with the health-giving forces of nature." Sounds kooky right? Well it turns out that this isn't just some small movement, but some serious, big time wineries are starting to go biodynamic, including Benziger which is in the 3 year process of transitioning to a Certified Biodynamic system, and Fetzer, which established several biodynamic vineyards in 2001. Several of France's largest producers have been using biodynamic techniques for decades.
Regardless of whether they are organic or biodynamic or simply adhere to a few tenets of either, an increasing number of winemakers are moving towards these ways of cultivation, not because of a serious commitment to the environment, surprisingly, but because they think it simply makes the grapes taste better.
Here's a listing compiled by the Bay Area Town Hall Coalition of organic wineries in Sonoma, Napa, and Mendocino.
This list has been updated in PDF form and can be downloaded here.
Here's a great series of articles on Biodynamic wine and Biodynamic winemaking from the Wine Anorak, a UK based wine site.
Here's another good article on Biodynamic Winegrowing from the New York Times.
This is a beverage industry article written by Sandy Block, one of the USA's few Masters of Wine on organic and biodynamic wine and consumer perceptions and misperceptions.

A Lesson on Google's Webspam Guidelines
Posted on Tuesday, March 12th, 2013 by Kirby Burke Print This Post
Categories - Featured, SEO
In my previous article, I gave an overview of the Google Search Quality Rating Guidelines and how users rate the quality of Google's search results. During the rating process, every page is also checked and flagged for inappropriate and malicious content, including spam. Understanding these guidelines is important to prevent having your pages flagged as spam.
What is Webspam?
According to Google, "Webspam is the term for webpages that are designed by webmasters to trick search engines and draw users to their websites." Google checks for technical signals of Black Hat SEO practices to increase page ranking, spam webpages with little value and pages created for only commercial intent. Google also provides criteria about what good pages contain.
Google states, "Pages that are merely annoying, junky, or low quality, such as pages with lots of pop-ups or ads, are not necessarily spam." The page quality rating is not affected by the spam flag. It is possible for pages to be graded as "relevant" to a query and also flagged for spam.
Technical Signals
Hidden Text and Links are not visible to users and exist only to add value to the page when it is crawled. Text and links with the same color as the background, a tiny font size (like 1pt), or that are shifted outside of normal viewing area are typically flagged as hidden. Hidden text is usually used to facilitate keyword stuffing.
Keyword Stuffing is using an excessive number of keywords on the page to draw search traffic. Using keywords that are irrelevant to the page content is also considered stuffing. For example, using keywords like "mortgages," "cell phones" and "gambling" for an automotive page is spam. Page content and URLs that appear to have automatically-generated text are also flagged.
Sneaky Redirects send the user to a URL on a different domain, with the intent of delivering spam. This includes pages that redirect to pages with irrelevant content, through several URLs before hitting the landing page, and/or to a different URL on every visit of the original page.
Cloaking is the method of showing different content to users and search engines. This can be done by serving content to users through JavaScript to hide it from the search engines, or playing with frames to hide content from users.
Spam Webpages
Pages with PPC ads that were obviously created to only drive ad revenue are considered spam. This includes pages that use scraped or copied content to appear relevant. Some examples of these pages are wikis, blogs, message boards and search pages that are fake or copied from another source. Legitimate blogs and message boards are not typically flagged for user-generated spam in comments and posts.
Commercial Intent
Thin affiliates are spammers that use sites with very little useful or original information to earn commissions. Affiliate sites that provide relevant content and offer useful features such as shopping carts, return policies and functional forums are not considered spammers.
Pure PPC pages contain only ads or links to other spam pages. Fake directories are also in this category.
Parked (expired) domains are expired domains from legitimate companies that are purchased by spammers to leverage the existing name and link value. The spammers use pre-existing links for driving traffic to their spam site. These pages typically contain all paid links and have no relevance to the original domain name. Registering a domain with a similar spelling to a legitimate domain to drive revenue from accidental visitors is also considered spam.
Good Pages
Good pages are organized well, contain ads that are clearly identified and not distracting, and provide value to the user. Google provides the following criteria for determining good pages. If you can answer "yes" to any of the following, the page is probably not spam:
- Does the page provide the user with a good search experience?
- Does the page contain original content that would be helpful to users?
- Do you think the page should be included in a set of search results?
- Is the page designed for users? Is there a human element to the page?
- If you removed the PPC ads and copied text from the page, is there useful content remaining?
As mentioned before, Google's page ranking process is not completely transparent. However, these guidelines provide brands with valuable information to ensure their website pages align with Google's recommendations and requirements.

D-backs beat Padres for 4th straight win
PHOENIX Kicking off an important homestand, the NL West-leading Arizona Diamondbacks wanted to be aggressive early, hopefully put some pressure on San Diego to keep their momentum going.
Arizona did just that - got some plenty of help from the Padres, too.
Josh Collmenter pitched effectively into the sixth inning and the Diamondbacks took advantage of San Diego's shaky defense to beat the Padres 5-0 on Friday night.
"We came out very aggressive, we stole four bags on them, and kind of forced some action," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "We'll take it like that when it's available. We'll take runs any way we can get them."
Arizona put pressure on San Diego early with aggressive baserunning and the Padres had no answer, fumbling and bumbling their way to three errors in the first two innings.
Collmenter (8-8) had his fourth straight solid outing, allowing six singles in 5 1-3 innings, and combined with four relievers for Arizona's second shutout during a four-game winning streak that has the Diamondbacks three games ahead of San Francisco in the division.
"Anytime you can get a few runs before you go out for the second is huge," Collmenter said. "A lot of times, one run can make the difference, help your confidence."
The Diamondbacks, with San Diego's help, gave Collmenter a nice cushion, scoring all of their runs off San Diego starter Wade LeBlanc (2-3) in the first two innings. The Padres never fully recovered, holding Arizona without a run the rest of the way, but going 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position.
"I don't know if I ever have seen and inning go like that first inning," LeBlanc said. "Obviously, it put us in a big hole. There wasn't a whole lot hit hard in that first inning, but they put them where they needed to put them."
Arizona had surged to the top of the NL West, only to slide back with a six-game losing streak.
In danger of spiraling downward, the Diamondbacks recovered to make it a respectable road trip, closing it out with three straight wins over Washington for their first division lead this late in the season for the first time since 2008.
Heading home for a crucial six-game homestand against NL West opponents, the Diamondbacks hoped to keep it going behind Collmenter.
The over-the-the-top-throwing rookie did his part, retiring the first eight batters he faced while allowing less than two runs for the fourth straight start.
The Diamondbacks - with plenty of help from San Diego - made sure Collmenter didn't have to work too hard, scoring four runs in the first.
Arizona had five hits in the opening inning and Padres catcher Nick Hundley sent two runs across the plate with throwing errors - the first coming when he hit Ryan Roberts' swinging bat while trying to throw out Willie Bloomquist as he attempted to steal third.
Right fielder Will Venable also had a not-so-graceful belly flop attempting to catch Paul Goldschmidt's pop-up down the line and left fielder Kyle Blanks went down awkwardly on Aaron Hill's double, adding to the ugliness.
It continued in the second inning, when first baseman Jesus Guzman dropped a throw by Logan Forsythe to allow another run, making it 5-0.
Those early problems helped wear out LeBlanc, who threw 91 pitches in four innings while allowing five runs - four, somehow, were earned - on seven hits. In his fifth stint with the Padres this season, LeBlanc hadn't allowed more than three runs in seven previous starts.
"The difference today was they bunched their hits in the first inning and got their runs," Padres manager Bud Black said.

Special Education Mediation: A Formula for Success
Mills, Guy E., Duff-Mallams, Karla, Teaching Exceptional Children
Does this sound possible-for due process issues to be settled so amicably? It can-and does-happen. During the past 2 years, the state of Missouri has used mediation in special education disputes between parents and school districts in Missouri to attempt to defuse due process hearings. Mediation allows for less formal discussions, facilitating resolution early in the complaint process. Under the 1997 Reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), every state is expected to offer mediation as an intervention strategy whereby parents and districts might resolve their disagreements related to children with disabilities.
This article discusses recent experiences with successful special education mediations. Specifically, we examine several cases, focusing on common elements that may have contributed to successful resolution.
History of Mediation
Special education disputes involved mediation as early as the 1970s (Schrag, 1996a). For example, in 1975, both California and Massachusetts offered mediation as an alternative dispute-resolution opportunity. It was a voluntary option for parents and educational agencies for handling special education issues (Symington, 1994). Several other states soon followed the initial models. In fact, 39 states offered mediation as an option by April 1994 (Ahearn, 1994). Now, as a result of the reauthorization of IDEA regulations, school districts in every state are required to offer mediation to parents of children with disabilities in every state when due process disputes arise. Either the school district or the parent may request mediation; however, the district must make it available (see box, "IDEA Mediation Guidelines").
What Is Mediation?
Mediation, as used in special education, is a process in which a mediator, serving as a neutral third party, assists disputants in reaching a mutually satisfactory agreement regarding educational placement, program, identification, evaluation, or other services to be provided for a child with disabilities (Schumack & Stewart, 1995). Mediation is informal but has structure, with a beginning, a middle, and an end. The process stresses communication and creative problem-solving (Schrag, 199Gb). The mediator does not make decisions for the disputants; the mediator facilitates a negotiation process between parties who have reached an impasse (Dobbs, Primm, & Primm, 1991; see box, "Typical Characteristics of Mediations"). Because the process is voluntary, all participants must agree to negotiate a resolution.
Conflicts Often Leading to Mediation or Due Process
Most conflicts leading to mediation or due process result from discontentment with a child's individualized education program (IEP; Singer & Nace, 1985). Additional issues may result from identification, evaluation, and placement of a student with a disability (Schrag, 1996b; Fielding, 1990). Such issues may include:
* Whether a student should be identified as having a disability.
* The specific disability classification.
* Eligibility of a student to receive special education and related services.
* Appropriateness of the programs and services the student is designated to receive.
* Appropriateness of the designated type and amount of related services (e.g., speech-language therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy).
* Whether the educational placement designated for the student is in the least restrictive setting (Schrag, 1996b).
Certain cases are more appropriate for mediation than others. Mediation is helpful in the following situations:
* Broken lines of communication are the main problem.
* Insufficient information has been provided to one or both parties.
* Noncompliance with statutes, regulations, or procedures are present.
* A dispute arises regarding the basic level of trust and good faith between parties.
* Private school placement is not an issue. …

- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category: Textiles, Clothing & Accessories

- Sold Date: Jul 19, 2009

This is a coverlet by H.F. Stager & Son . He did coverlets in the early to mid-1800's. Colors are green-red-beige-navy. A little deeper than portrayed-flash lightened appearance a bit. The design consists of a flower medallion in the center-grapes-leaves-something that looks like tassels and eagles in the corners. Bottom says: Manuf. by H.F. Stager & Son Mount Joy Lancaster County Penn. Condition overall is nice considering its age. However, please note condition issues and refer to pics. T is almost no fringe left on the top edge-except for a few scraggly pieces. The rest of the piece has some fringe-but and t The bottom 1/3 of the coverlet has the following issues-a couple of small rust spots, a dark stain near one of the bottom tassels-about 3 and 1/2 inches-and this one can be seen on the other side-though not as pronounced. Also t is a 2 and 1/2 area that is threadbare-but it is not worn all the way through. But when viewed from the other side-light comes through. The middle section does not have any holes or stains-but t are areas w thread is missing. The top third of the piece has a stain about 2 inches in diameter. On the top right side edge-t is a 1 inch rust stain-and a 1 inch rip along the edge near the stain. The top right side edge has a rust stain about an inch long with a light staining near it. The top left edge and corner down 6 inches has the most damage. This area includes a couple 1 inch rips along the edge. T are more threadbare sections-but they do not go thru to the other side. On the reverse side-last pic-t is a 2 inch rust stain thart you cannot see from other side-near the top 1/3-4 inches from side edge. T is also a green thread running along the reverse side-about 24 inches in length-but it cannot be seen from original side. This looks to be something done during its manufacturing process. Nice piece of Americana. Please e-mail questions before bidding and thanks for your time!!!
