The Organic Wine Company
What you need to know about Organic WineIsn't all wine organic?
No. This is a common question I get because, I think, wineries are romanticized. True, wineries and tasting rooms are often fun and attractive places to visit, but the source of wine is wine grapes: an agricultural product. Conventional wine grapes are chemically treated like many other agricultural products to deal with pests, viruses, weeds, fungi, and to increase yield. There are known carcinogenic pesticides applied to wine grapes. Wine grapes, unlike many products, cannot be rinsed; therefore the pesticides end up in your glass. It's that simple. Want to see the list of chemicals? Click here.
Wine labels are not required to declare the use of animal by-products in the winemaking process. Animal by-products often used in clarifying or filtering wine include Isinglass (derived from fish), gelatin (derived from animal hooves) casein (a milk protein) and egg whites. Vegan wines are not produced with an animal product and are clarified with bentonite clay.
Low in Sulfites
Sulfites, also known Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), are a naturally occurring by-product of fermentation, and are also added to prevent the growth of unwanted bacteria and to preserve the quality and shelf-life of the bottled product. This makes the wine stable so the taste will not change during transportation or storage, and also allows the wine to age. Conventional wines may contain sulfite levels up to 350 parts per million (ppm) while wines made from certified organic grapes are required to contain less than 100 ppm. This translates to 100 mg per Liter, or less than 20 mg per glass. Our wines contain an average of about 60 ppm or about 0.00038 ounces per glass.

I believe that Easter is about the most important event in the history of the world. I believe that there is someone who was willing to do whatever it took, to save me, to save you, to save us all. I believe that He loves me, more than I can possibly understand. I believe that He knows exactly how I feel at my darkest moments. I believe that He knows exactly how I feel at my loneliest moments.
I believe that He rose on that third day. I believe that He does, indeed, live. I believe that He paid the price for every sin, He suffered for every pain and weakness that we feel. I believe that He is there, for all of us, that He will not leave us comfortless, as long as we seek Him. I believe that I am strong enough to get through anything, because He is there for me, knows exactly what I feel, and because He was willing to do whatever it took to save me, you, and every living thing that has and will live upon this Earth.
I believe that we need not suffer from the pains of sin, heartbreak, loneliness, if we only lean on Him. I believe that all of us can return to Him again. I believe that He knows and loves every single one of us. I believe that He knows and loves you. I believe that I will meet Him again one day, and that will be a very important day.
My heart is full. Of gratitude, peace, and hope.

The Oslon Black Flat is the new LED from Osram Opto Semiconductors for automotive frontlighting systems.
Equipped with a ceramic converter, the new LED contains a UX:3 chip that delivers high light output even at high currents, according to Osram. With a power draw of 2.3W and an operating current of 700mA, the Oslon Black Flat achieves a typical luminous flux of 200 lm (at 25 degrees C). If operated at 1.2A it can achieve up to 270 lumen - despite an application temperature of 100 degrees C in the chip.
The Oslon Black Flat was developed in Regensburg and has been designed to function without a lens. Its light can therefore be injected very close to light guides or lenses, said Osram. Its luminance, in other words what the human eye perceives as the brightness of a particular surface, is 2-5 times higher than comparable LEDs in its class at 70 -100 Mcd/m2 (million candelas per square meter).

toddler sleeping routine/pattern
Hello Everyone!
I've been having difficulties in my LO's sleeping pattern. She doesn't have a regular sleeping routine and lately she's been staying up very late (past 12 midnight sometimes until past 2 in the morning) and consequently she wakes up late as well.
I tried to establish a routine and eliminate some factors that may affect an early sleep but to no avail. But there are times she sleeps earlier - 9 pm and wake up early in the morning, this is just for a week then she goes back to staying up late. She does get her nap (approx 2 hour ) in the late afternoon.
Is this normal for toddlers? Does anybody has the same issues as I do?

Do you have an established routine such as bath, books, brush teeth bed. Starting the routine by turning down the lights and turning on soft sleepy music can get her in the mood for bed. You can also try some of the tips mentioned in this article How to get your Child to Beg to Go to Bed.
How old is she? If nothing works you may want to cut out her nap. I know that can be rough but she can still have rest time in her room for a little while and it just might help. Some children need to cut out their afternoon naps in order to get a nice long stretch of sleep at night. Some of my friends' toddlers stopped naps as early as 2 but on average 3-4. My boys still nap and they are almost5 but they go to bed at 8pm every night ans sleep until 7. Once that stops (or school starts) naps are going bye-bye
Good luck and keep us posted on how she's doing.

I love the suggestions DoubleSunshine made. Did you read the article How to get your child to beg to go to bed? Did you find any helpful suggestions there?
If your daughter truly has a hard time going to bed earlier than 9PM, you can try putting her to bed 15 minutes earlier each night. If that's midnight the first night, it will be 11:45 PM the next night and 11:30PM the next, until she's going to bed at 9PM or earlier, each night.
It might help for you and daddy to go to bed when you put her to bed. If that's 11PM, then you go to bed at 11PM too. Every mum and dad needs time together without children, in the evening. It can give you more patience and make parenting much more fun when you are all well rested and you have some "down time" without baby in the evening.
What one thing do you think you could do differently this week that will help to work towards your daughter going to bed earlier?
Post back and let me know.
Warm regards,

what is a ring girl? we need pictures!
Valley of Kings - Coming Soon
edited for i will surely get my head kicked in / wasn't aimed at you bro
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
There is a blonde who does leeds shows who is half decent.
Retired 2k and out.
ring girls are great, but to be honest if your going to put ring girls on your show, get good looking ones, seriously dissappointed in the standard of them these days.
When your booking a ring girl for your show, just ask yourself one question, are they training as hard as the guys and girls who are competing on show? if the answer is no then why are they getting paid more to do less!!
I remember a fitness instructor ring girl at amma. Christ, she was as fit as a butchers dog. Crazy abs. She would have suplexed me, no problem
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
just as long as I don't know anything about them. I hate myself for even knowing the UFC ring girls names. I just want to look at them at that's it.

#2 prospect Rafael Devers linked to the Red Sox Story/Scouting Report/Video from March
July 2nd-Themed Podcast with Jorge Arangure & interview with #4 prospect Micker Zapata
Top 10 Prospect Rankings With One Sample Full Writeup
Complete Top 32 Prospects List
July 2nd Wrapup With Complete Signings List & Updated Pools
Top 5 Prospects With Scouting Reports, Tools Breakdown, Video & Predictions/Bonuses ($)
More Scouting Reports, Tools Breakdown, Video & Predictions/Bonuses ($)
Top 32 Projected/Actual Bonuses & Notebook ($)
Two clubs worth keeping an eye on in terms of bonus pools are the Chicago Cubs and Texas Rangers. The Cubs are rumored to be near a $2.8 million deal with Dominican RF Eloy Jimenez and only have $2.17 million in remaining bonus money. They could still add a little over $1 million in bonus money via trades, but may not have another club willing to give up their pool money and the Cubs can't obtain more pool money once they go over the limit. The Cubs have hinted that they aren't afraid of the tax on the overage or possible limitations on bonuses they can hand out next year if they go far over the limit. That said, the holdup on Jimenez's deal sure seems to be the Cubs trying to buy time to find more pool money to only have a tax to pay for the overage rather than incurring international bonus limitations next season.
Ideally, the Cubs should be looking to get to beat the bonus pool by less than 5% to only have to pay the tax. Anything 0% to 5% over the bonus pool results in a 75% tax on the overage, 5% to 10% results in the same tax and a $500,000 cap on the top bonus to give out next year with two more notches at 10% to 15% (100% tax, $500,000 max bonus) and over 15% (100% tax, $250,000 bonus). These penalties would be slightly tweaked if we have an international draft next year, with the same tax system and no pick penalty at 5% or under, but the next three notches, respectively would cost a club their first round pick, first and second round pick, and next two first round picks.
A club with a much bigger problem in this scope is the Rangers. They are already over $3 million over their pool amount, detailed below. Obviously, Texas is planning on far overshooting their pool and getting their money's worth for incurring the biggest spending penalty, which the Tampa Bay Rays incurred last season, limiting them to a $250,000 maximum bonus this year.
It's easy to see the motivation to go all-in one year and far outspend your competition, then have a leaner year. The amount of talent acquired may be the same in the two-year window (likely more for Texas given how far over they went over this year), but getting that talent a year earlier is another boost. I wouldn't be surprised to see other clubs copy this strategy in future years with all amateur money now on a fixed, MLB-mandated budget and shooting the moon internationally, if done right, yielding a competitive advantage.
One more club to watch are the New York Yankees, who have roughly $1.3 million to spend and are tied to Dominican CF Leonardo Molina (who is eligible to sign on his birthday, August 1st) for that amount or possibly more. The Yankees have some time to trade for bonus money between now and August 1st and were rumored to be on other six figure talents and shopping for money late in the process. Look for the Yankees to possibly make some moves to this end in the coming month with some solid players still on the board.
Updated Bonus Pools with Confirmed Signings, Bonuses and Scouting Reports
To see my top 32 July 2nd prospects with projected and actual club/bonus with links to reports, click here.
Teams are ordered by initial pool amount, players are all currently 16 and previously ineligible to sign unless noted otherwise and bonuses & scouting reports are specified or linked where available. Clubs get six bonuses $50,000 or under that are exempt from the bonus pool and any bonus $10,000 or less is automatically exempt. Contracts that aren't finalized (like Eloy Jimenez) aren't included below but will be added when official. Players are ordered by actual/projected signing bonus.
Here are five prospects that I've projected to sign for a big bonus that either are rumored to be close to a deal or will become eligible to sign later in the summer and are heavily tied to one club. This list and the signings listed below account for all the seven and high six figure prospects I'm aware of.

Australia's latest Boeing Co. Globemaster C-17 has left the Long Beach nest.
Officials on Thursday delivered the company's sixth C-17 aircraft to the Royal Australian Air Force at its final assembly plant in Long Beach.
The C-17, which will be assigned to No. 36 Squadron at RAAF Base Amberley near Brisbane, will be used to aid military, humanitarian and peacekeeping missions.
"I am delighted to accept the sixth C-17 on behalf of the Royal Australian Air Force," said RAAF Chief of Air Force, Air Marshal Geoff Brown. "The C-17 (has) a capability that has improved Australia's reach locally, regionally and globally."
Last year, the Australian government announced that it would buy a sixth C-17 during the arrival ceremony for the fifth airlifter.
"Today we're celebrating the delivery of this magnificent airplane and the partnerships that made this possible only five months after the contract was signed," said Bob Ciesla, C-17 program manager.
Australia is one of several international customers Boeing has been pursuing in the last decade as declining U.S. Air Force orders for the C-17 threaten to close the Long Beach plant, California's last aircraft manufacturing facility. The current orders will keep the production line that employs some 4,000 people going until late 2014.
So far, 30 C-17s have been delivered to Australia, Canada, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the 12-member Strategic Airlift Capability initiative of NATO and Partnership for Peace nations.
India has 10 C-17s on order for delivery in 2013 and 2014.
Ciesla was optimistic that the orders will help extend the line for multiple years to come, with interest in the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific Rim.

Welcome Centers are located throughout the hospital and in Children's Clinics Building. Welcome Center staff can help you with directions.
An identification band will be placed on your child as soon as he or she is admitted to the hospital. Our staff must use that band to check your child's identity before all procedures, including giving medication or giving blood. This is an important safety check to make sure your child gets the correct treatment.
Identification badges must be worn at all times by family members and visitors in the hospital. A parent/grandparent/guardian badge will be given only to adults who are directly responsible for the patient. A visitor badge will be given to others on the visitor list. Badges are available at our Welcome Centers and nurses' stations. A new badge is needed every day. They can be turned in to a Welcome Center when you leave.
Parents or guardians create a visitor list when their child is admitted. Only the parent or guardian can add names to the list. All visitors, including family members, must be on the list to visit your child. For safety reasons we may remove people from the list. These people will not be allowed to visit. Some units have restrictions on visitors. Check with your child's nurse.
Visiting hours are from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Parents, grandparents and guardians may visit anytime.
For more information about visitors, go to the Visitors section.

Why do students come to Counseling Services?
Messiah students come to see us for many different reasons, such as feeling depressed or worried, friend or family concerns, eating and body image problems, sexual assault, self-esteem problems, academic stress, pre-marital counseling, etc. One of these may be a problem for you, or yours may be something quite different. Students sometimes worry that their problem isn't "big enough" to see a counselor, but we're here to support you at whatever level you need!
What about confidentiality?
Counseling Services maintains strict standards of confidentiality. We will not release any records of your counseling or discuss your case with anyone, unless you give us your written consent. No record of counseling goes into your administrative school records, and school officials are not notified that you are receiving counseling. Family members will not be notified that you are in counseling unless you request us to, and we will not speak to them about your counseling without your permission. Under very extraordinary conditions, such as when a student's life is in danger, or when the safety of others is at risk, confidentiality may need to be broken. Feel free to discuss any concerns about confidentiality with your counselor.
What does counseling cost?
Counseling is free for full-time Messiah undergraduate students.
How do I make an appointment?
- To schedule in person just call stop by the Engle Center and speak with our receptionist. She will help you complete some information forms that help us know a bit more about your concerns.
- You may also request counseling online from the privacy of your room or any on-campus computer. Go to http://titaniumweb.messiah.edu/WCMenu.aspx and click on the Counseling Intake button and complete the information requested.
After we review your information we will contact you to set up an appointment with the counselor who is best suited to meet with you for your initial appointment. We are usually able to arrange for you to meet with a counselor within a week of receiving your information.
For urgent assistance please come directly to our office or call during regular office hour and let us know you need immediate help. For after hours and additional emergency resources, click here.
What happens during counseling?
During your first appointment the counselor will speak with you to get information about your current concerns, as well as additional background information that will help us to better understand your needs. Usually you will continue to meet with the counselor you saw for your first appointment, but the counselor can also help arrange for you to meet with someone else on our staff or off-campus who might be better suited to help you with your concerns.
Although the specifics of your particular problem will make your counseling unique, there are some general characteristics to be found in all counseling sessions. We view the counseling process as a partnership between the counselor and the student. We are here to help you meet your goals and we believe students benefit most from counseling that helps them develop skills for creating your own solutions.

PAOLO Di Canio has decided against bringing in a defender on loan to Swindon before the transfer window shuts next week after being boosted by the return of Aden Flint to full fitness.
The former Alfreton skipper has not played for Town since the 1-0 win over Macclesfield on January 21 after suffering a groin injury.
Di Canio had feared Flint would miss the rest of the season and, with skipper Paul Caddis having also injured his ankle recently, the Town boss admitted last week that he planned to dip in the loan market and bring in a versatile defender as cover.
But Flint has surprised all with the rate of his recovery and has been training normally with the rest of his teammates for the last 10 days.
Consequently, Di Canio is not only confident the 22-year-old will be available for the Johnstone's Paint Trophy final against Chesterfield a week on Sunday, but hinted that he could also be included in the squad for the trip to Crewe tomorrow.
"Aden has recovered quickly and we are happy," said Di Canio.
"He is available, even for Saturday but whether he plays depends on me. I will make that decision.
"I don't think I need to bring anyone else in now. Flint is back and Paul Caddis is nearly fit again and so the main part of my transfer activity is done.
"Anything can happen but we do not have a plan to bring in other players."
Mehdi Kerrouche is back training with Swindon after returning from his loan spell at Oxford earlier this week, and Di Canio has not ruled out the striker having a part to play in the Robins' end of season run-in.
"He is back training with us and he will need to train hard," he added.
"It is obvious now that I have many players and it will be difficult for him to play. However, in football anything could be possible."

Some, indeed, there met an untimely fate—seven men, among whom were the brave and noble-hearted Inge and Sacket.
And bow-happiness is a girl named Inge Klohbel now that you're almost a man.
King Inge took the vessels, and sailed with them outside of the isles to Viken.
What Dr. Inge, who quotes these words, says of Plotinus declares his own character.
Then King Inge came a second time, and pacified them; and both agreed that he should mediate between them.
King Inge drove Hakon and his followers up the country, and took all their gear.
King Inge was the largest and stoutest, and, from his age, of the most dignified appearance.
King Inge and King Sigurd had twenty ships, which were all large.
Inge Crookback was the only one of Harold Gille's sons who was an honorable man.
This saga describes the feud between Hakon Sigurdson and his uncle Inge.

Say the name 'Enron' and most people believe they've heard all about the story that imperiled a presidency, destroyed a marketplace, and changed Washington and Wall Street forever. But in the hands of Kurt Eichenwald, the players we think we know and the business practices we think have been exposed are transformed into entirely new, and entirely gripping, material. The cast includes but is not limited to George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Paul O'Neill, Harvey Pitt, Colin Powell, Gray Davis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Alan Greenspan, Ken Lay, Andy Fastow, Jeff Skilling, Bill Clinton, Rupert Murdoch, and Michael Eisner. Providing a you-are-there glimpse behind closed doors in the executive suites of the Enron Corporation, the Texas governor's mansion, the Justice Department, and even the Oval Office, Conspiracy of Fools is an all-true financial and political thriller of cinematic proportions.
This audio also includes an exclusive interview with the author and a "cast of characters" list.
©2005 Kurt Eichenwald; (P)2005 Random House, Inc. Random House Audio, a division of Random House, Inc.
"As an unadorned attempt to get into the heads of some major manipulators, this book can hardly be bettered." (Publishers Weekly)
"Conspiracy of Fools is a splendid achievement. Mr. Eichenwald has an encyclopedic grasp of a watershed business collapse, and has turned it into a gripping read, a true tale for our times." (The New York Times)
"A page-turning financial thriller....This book compares with Liar's Poker and Barbarians at the Gate in its breadth and depth of coverage of esoteric corporate culture and financial practices, recognizing the compelling human drama beneath the scandal." (Booklist)
"Conspiracy of Fools"
This is one of the best books I have ever "read". It's a great crime novel, unfortunately a true story. The author makes it very easy to understand all of the theft and fraud that took place at Enron. Do not feel daunted by the length of the book. It is a compelling listen.
"what a story!"
Eichenwald does a great job of putting the listener right into the picture of what was going on at Enron. You feel as if you were looking over the shoulders of the key players as it was happening.
"Amazing story, superb narrative"
The narrator is brilliant, and very well connected to the way the story is written.
The whole experience is thrilling. The book evolves as a mastery novel, enriched by real life details.
I have over 800books in my library
Again this is one book that the detail is absolutely supreme,Very well reconstructed! Absolutely two thumbs up great work Kurt Eichenwald !!!!!!!!!!
"What a book! History was never so interesting."
Riveting. The factual details used in the "story" and the way the author built the plot, step by step, made it hard to imagine how this could have happened -- it is no wonder our economy took such a shock from this and the other corporate scandals that took place in that era.
Fascinating! Highly recommended!
"Soild View"
This is a review of the factual elements of the building and decline of the now household word:
Enron. Appropriately titled - it's a modern version of the Emporer's New Clothes
"Good Introduction to Enron"
The book is very well read, but the author focuses a little too much on pinning the blame solely on Andrew Fastow. It's hard to believe that he fooled everyone. Could have been more balanced by holding the other characters accountable (Skilling, Lay, board members), and should have focused more on Capitol Hill support / involvement in this whole mess. Nevertheless, the book does offer insights into a series of complex actions and transactions that led to the demise of Enron. Jury is still out, though (literally). I gave it only 3 stars as I feel the material only covers 60% of the "real story". Great reader, though.
"Want to get an education?"
Then get the audio book Conspiracy of Fools: A True Story by Kurt Eschewal. Listening to this won?t get you a degree, but it will let you know what is going on?and it will keep you awake too.
The writer has done a fantastic job?and I say this as a fellow-writer. It is practically a movie script written as a novel?including settings, actions and expressions for the actors. The narrator should get a medal too.
This could be a TV series?but this won?t happen because it is too embarrassing. It wasn?t just some Enron executives who were fools, it was America itself. The dot-com boom was the biggest foolishness America ever experienced, an experience it may never recover from. It destroyed some of our basic values. It put the system firmly in control.
It?s easy to see what happened from a distance, or at least it seems easy. But when you look at the details, as this book does, you see how many people were involved?some of them striving mightily to keep it from happening; some of them, like Ken Lay, so enraptured with his power he couldn?t see what was going on under this nose; and the white-collar criminals who thought they would get away with it?and almost did. And everything in-between, including accountants who looked the other way, while holding out their hands.
Reality is very complicated, and it is tempting to simplify it into a morality play, and just through the bastards in jail. But if greed and stupidity were crimes, no jails would be big enough. And greed and stupidity are becoming bigger, not smaller?becoming global.

PROPERTY owners who made a windfall when the Baillieu government rezoned old industrial land for the Fishermans Bend project are steaming ahead with plans for apartment towers, despite no master plan in place or public consultation begun.
Fairfax Media has learnt that about 10 owners of industrial sites in the proposed new residential suburbs have floated proposals for apartment towers of about 30 storeys with the Department of Planning and Community Development.
The early proposals are possible because of the government's unusual step of rezoning the land in June before a master plan, planning controls or developer's infrastructure levy had been drafted.
It extended the capital city zone to the more than 200 hectares of land next to Southbank and Docklands that will form five new suburbs.
Port Melbourne consultant David Parsons, who previously worked as a development general manager for Becton and Macquarie Bank, said he alone had three clients with five sites in the urban renewal area who had put forward proposals of apartment towers.
''There are no mandatory height limits and DPCD doesn't appear to be preoccupied with height at all,'' he said. ''We've been looking at relatively tall buildings, which seem not to be a major problem.''
He said department planning officers had been ''reasonably supportive'' of the proposals, ahead of a formal planning permit application.
Embattled government developer Places Victoria is at present preparing a draft master plan that includes provisions for community infrastructure and affordable housing.
The draft plan will go out for public feedback through the City of Melbourne and City of Port Phillip some time next year.
University of Melbourne fellow in urban geography Kate Shaw said the landowners were now ''sitting on a goldmine with virtually no planning controls''.
She said it was unlikely they would volunteer the affordable housing or mixed-land uses the government wanted without intervention, and such things are almost impossible to deliver in retrospect. ''They will be after the tallest and most upmarket apartment blocks,'' she said. ''This will set a pattern for the rest of Fishermans Bend.''
Outgoing chief executive officer of Places Victoria Sam Sangster said the agency was at present doing a ''needs analysis'' to discover how land could best be used and the staging of community infrastructure, such as public transport, libraries and schools.
Fishermans Bend is very different from Docklands in that it's not government-owned land, it's privately held.
''Fishermans Bend is very different from Docklands in that it's not government-owned land, it's privately held,'' Mr Sangster said. ''Private owners decide what's best for their land, within the strategic framework plan.
''In many circumstances, developers want to contribute with community facilities because it adds value to their own development.''
Mr Parsons said no landowners were considering uses other than apartments for their sites as yet because of a lack of public transport, a depressed commercial office market and limits on parking.
''With this zoning, on any given piece of land, an owner can apply for almost any use apart from noxious industrial use because capital city zoning is so wide open,'' he said.

The fallopian tubes are a part of a woman's reproductive system. This is the passage through which the egg travels to meet the sperm and attach the end result to the lining of the womb or the uterine lining. In many cases, the fallopian tubes may get blocked, which can cause a series of complications, including infertility and other issues.
Read on to know more about the complications as well as the diagnosis.
Fallopian tubes: These are two thin tubes that flank either side of the uterus. It helps the matured egg from travelling from the ovaries to the uterus.
Blockage of fallopian tubes: Sexually transmitted diseases or STDs, as well as endometriosis, can cause a blockage in the fallopian tubes. The tubes can get blocked from one or both sides.
Complications: Blocked fallopian tubes can lead to major complications like early pregnancy loss as well as infertility. Every month, the ovaries release eggs during a cycle known as the ovulation cycle. During this period, the eggs leave the ovaries and travel through the fallopian tubes in order to reach the uterus, where they can possibly get inseminated with sperm, after which they will get fertilised and attach themselves to the uterine lining or the womb. In case the fallopian tubes are blocked, the eggs gets blocked and do not get a passageway to travel from the ovaries and into the uterus. This can lead to infertility as it will prevent fertilisation of the released egg. Furthermore, blocked fallopian tubes can also lead to tubal pregnancies, which will have to be terminated as it can lead to severe health risks.
Symptoms: So how can you find out whether your fallopian tubes are blocked? There are a number of symptoms that may be caused in the course of this condition. It is important to be even more careful about the symptoms because they may not be as obvious as other conditions, where irregular periods and heavy bleeding may point to the problem at the very onset. Pain in the lower abdomen and unusual discharge usually point to the problem. Also, loss of pregnancy due to the blockage is also a clear cut diagnosis.
Diagnosis: The diagnosis of the condition is done with the help numerous tests and imaging examinations conducted by a gynaecologist. A specialised X-ray called hysterosalpingogram or HSG is used in order to diagnose the issue. In this kind of examination, a dye is inserted through the uterus. This dye has a lens at the end, which shows the blockage and its extent. The doctor then conducts tests to find out the causes of this condition so that proper treatment may be followed. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult an IVF Specialist.
The skin has the largest surface area and is most exposed to the external environment. This exposure causes a lot of wear and tear, and one of the worse complications including melanoma, which is a form of skin cancer. Read on to know about its causes, caution signs to stay alerted and how to take care of the skin.
The skin has cells known as melanocytes which give it the color. Generally, the more the number of melanocytes, the darker is the person's complexion. This pigment is also present in skin, hair, nails, and eyes. The moles are skins are areas of higher concentration of these cells. Africans moles can be a precursor to melanoma, but not all moles turn to melanoma.
- Exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun. Fair-skinned people are at greater risk than darker complexioned people. A single sunburn experience can also increase the risk of developing melanoma
- Use of tanning beds, especially in people below 30, ups the risk of melanoma. Indoor tanning beds is classified as having the highest record by WHO
- Family history
- Ethnicity, with Hispanics at the greatest risk and African-Americans at the least risk
- For those who have risk factors for developing melanoma, a monthly self-exam is advisable. A formal annual exam with a dermatologist is also advised. This will help in early identification of the condition and lead to early treatment and containment.
- Melanoma is not restricted to the skin, can also occur in feet, eyes, and scalp
- Use a mirror to check all over the body
- If you have moles, watch for change in their size, shape, and regularity. Any change should be immediately checked for.
- If you see any new irregularities on the skin anywhere, get medical attention.
- Any sore that has not healed
- Any swelling that is near the mole or has not regressed
- Change in sensation including itching or pain
- A quick way to remember is to check for ABCDE: Asymmetry of the lesion, irregularity of the borders, change in color, diameter greater than six mm, and speed of evolution. Watching for these can help in early diagnosis.
Melanoma is directly linked to sun exposure, and so reducing sun exposure and taking adequate precautions can help in prevention.
- Avoid or reduce exposure to sun
- Use sunscreen religiously. The SPF should be at least 30 and should be reapplied every two hours
- Use a hat or cap, sunglasses, and cover up when out in the sun
- Be extra careful when out on the beach or in the mountains
- Avoid sun if possible between 10AM to 4PM
- Use tan removal agents after a sun exposure
If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult an Oncologist.

Fact: Sperm can live for 5 to 6 days in fertile cervical liquid.
4. Myth: A woman must wait for three months for conceiving after stopping the use of birth control pills.

Fact: A woman reaches her peak fertility stage during her 20's. Fertility keeps on changing all throughout her life. While some women remain fertile until their late 30's, some experience problems at an early age. The chances of conceiving decline after attaining the age of 35.
Another common belief is that single embryo transfer lowers the success rate of pregnancy. This is baseless, as women have limited eggs. When they run out of eggs, menopause occurs. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Gynaecologist.
It is very important to take care of your physical well-being as it may have a direct relationship with your sexual performance. Having unhealthy eating and lifestyle habits can put you out of shape sexually, emotionally and physically.
Here's how being out of form can affect your sex life:
- It can affect your confidence levels - Problems with your body weight can seriously affect your confidence levels, and consequently your sex life. Being confident of yourself and what you do is vital for having great sex. Issues with your confidence and a negative perception of yourself can make you feel inadequate, thereby causing problems in your sex life.
- It can suck out all your energy - In order for you to enjoy or have longer sex sessions, you need to be at your fittest levels. Being overweight or not in shape can prevent you from enjoying the sexual activity or sustaining the session as you would be all out of energy.
- It can affect your thoughts - Getting caught up in thoughts about your weight or what is going on in the mind of your partner can have a serious impact on your sexual performance. In fact, your weight can hamper the healthy thoughts that may form during these moments that you share with your partner. Ideally, your thoughts should be focused on the act so that you're able to fully enjoy the activity.
- It can affect what you experience - Your weight issues can hamper your ability to have quality sex and cause you to have short sessions. The quality of what you experience with your partner can get affected if you lack confidence and don't focus on what is happening in front of you. More importantly, one shouldn't mistake quality sex as the number of sex positions known or the duration of the activity. Quality sex takes place only when both the partners enjoy the act and derive maximum pleasure and satisfaction out of it. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Sexologist.

1. Avoid picking and squeezing them
Before you start treating the marks, it's extremely important to note which is the most effective way to reduce the likelihood of acne scarring. When you start picking on it, it automatically increases the chances of the marks staying back because of the trauma you inflicted on it.
2. Use targeted treatments
The best way to treat acne marks is by preventing it during the healing process. You should ideally target the acne and use a spot treatment that will prevent it from breaking out further.
3. Choose the right products
Another way to treat marks left by pimple is by opting for skincare products that cater to sensitive skin.
4. Never forget your sun protection
Exposing an acne scar to the harmful UV rays of the sun will darken it all the more. The rays of the sun stimulate pigment-producing cells which makes the scars much more noticeable.
5. Treat hyper-pigmentation
If you notice your scars becoming red and bigger, this results from hyper-pigmentation of the skin.
6. Do not scrub too often
Scarring happens the most when you use exfoliating agents too much on your skin. The rough granules which are used to get rid of blackheads irritate the acne and thereby lead to scarring.

Healthiest butter substitute options
1. Coconut oil and coconut butter
Coconut oil may be getting a bit of a bad rap lately with new studies that have been published by the american heart association claiming it's unhealthy to eat. In moderation, though, coconut oil is a healthy choice — perhaps the problem is people are overdoing it.
However, it's delicious to cook with and makes a great spread on muffins or toast. Equally, it's great in homemade recipes, such as my energy balls. Like coconut oil, coconut butter is delicious and can add just the right sweetness and toasty coconut flavor to most any dish.
2. Shea butter
Yes, you read that right. Shea butter does more than help promote healthy skin. It's an alternative to butter and often used instead of cocoa butter. It's edible and filled with antioxidants, essential fatty acids and vitamin e.
If you're a label-reader, you've probably noticed it in the ingredients list of some dark chocolate treats. You can simply use a small amount of shea butter in place of regular butter in just about anything. Make sure to purchase pure, unrefined versions, and I suggest purchasing small amounts as it tend to go rancid quickly.
3. Cocoa butter
Cocoa butter is another alternative to butter and is considered a healthy fat. It's used to make chocolate and is high in antioxidants, providing amazing polyphenols. According to one study, the polyphenols are so great that it may actually help lower the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Some of the other benefits are improved immunity and lowering inflammation within the body. Like shea butter, make sure to get 100 percent pure versions with no additives. Try using it in baking instead of regular butter.
4. Mashed avocado
Mashed avocado is one of my favorite healthy fats, and with the recent popularity of avocado toast, i'm not the only one who loves it. Avocado makes a nice spread when mashed, is delicious on eggs and adds an amazing creaminess to your smoothie, all while offering the nutritional benefits of fiber and loads of phytonutrients. Additionally, research has shown it may help reduce the growth of cancer cells and inflammation.
5. Hummus
Hummus is one of my favorite ways to flavor just about anything and is part of a healthy mediterranean diet. It's typically made from chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic and tahini as the main ingredients, offering tons of fiber, protein, vitamin b6 and other nutritional benefits, but it can be made from black beans, lentils and even vegetables. It's a great topping on sauteed vegetables, eggs, mixed greens or as a snack with raw vegetables. Hummus is commonly eaten with pita triangles, but you can skip the bread and opt for celery if you're watching your wheat and gluten intake.
6. Extra virgin olive oil
Extra virgin olive oil is a great way to add a little flavor to sourdough bread, toast or grilled meat, to name a few. While you don't need much, it's a great way to gain some added benefits, such as lowering inflammation, the risk of heart disease, depression and dementia.
With all of that in mind, unfortunately, not all olive oil is created equally. Just make sure you get the real thing; there is a lot of fake olive oil out there. Watch out for virgin olive oil that costs less than $10 a liter, look for a seal from the international olive oil council and check for a harvesting date on the label. Additionally, if it's labeled light, pure or a blend, it isn't real, pure virgin olive oil.
7. Applesauce
Applesauce is great for baking or to add a little flavor to your oatmeal or chia pudding. You get fiber, vitamin c and that perfect touch of sweetness without a lot of calories. There's some sugar to think about, however. Read the label and be conscious of how much you use. Try spreading thinly or mix it with a little nut butter for a delicious, healthy blend.
8. Dairy-free yogurt
Dairy-free yogurt, such as coconut yogurt or almond yogurt, blended with a little cinnamon can be delicious on toast. There are many of options out there for anyone who really needs to watch dairy consumption. Dairy-free yogurt can be a great alternative and helps strengthen bones.
Regardless, watch the label. I cannot stress this enough, especially with new foods popping up everywhere trying to cash in on a trend, such as no dairy. Most of the dairy-free options still have added sugar and more. You can easily find the plain, no-sugar versions if you look for them, however. Go for those and you can create an amazingly, healthy, dairy-free chia pudding, use it on your favorite mexican dish like sour cream and more. Also, many have the probiotics that can help treat leaky gut.
9. Chicken stock, vegetable stock and bone broth
Chicken stock, vegetable stock and bone broth are great for sautéing. You won't even miss the butter! the stock or broth can help keep foods juicy and tender while adding delicious flavor and nutrients, even helping with digestion, arthritis and cellulite while boosting the immune system.
10. Nut butters
Nut butters, such as almond butter, cashew butter and peanut butter, are great on celery sticks, bananas, toast or even a vegetable sauté for a quick and easy thai dish. Almond butter, for example, contains vitamin e, iron and magnesium.
The key here is to be conscious of just how much. Two tablespoons is a serving, which comes in at about 180 calories. Also, you need to read labels since most add tons of sugar and oils. Either grind your own or purchase those that contain nuts only. Sea salt is fine, but avoid added oils and sugars.
11. Pumpkin puree
Pumpkin puree is a great option to add to plain yogurt, breads, coffee cakes and muffins. You gain nutrients like vitamin k, potassium and fiber with just a few extra calories. Use ¾ cup of pumpkin puree for every cup of butter called for in a recipe.
12. Nutritional yeast
Nutritional yeast is often forgotten but is great for seasoning most anything if you want a cheesy flavor. It also contains nutritional benefits, such as being an immune booster and contains protein, b6 and b12, making it a vegan must-have. It's quite the superfood, but what is nutritional yeast? it's an inactive yeast made from sugarcane and beet molasses. It's found in most health food stores on the shelf or in the bulk section, typically as a powder of flakes.
In today's world, we are going back to basics with a conscious effort to eat organically grown and home cooked food for a fit body. This is due to the fact that there has been a revival of many age old wellness movements like Ayurveda. Ayurveda is an ancient medical field that relies on the use of massages, oils and herbs for the resolution of various ailments. As per Ayurveda and other arms of holistic medical fields, green tea is an ingredient that is highly beneficial for the health.
Read on to know more about the health benefits of green tea:
- Antioxidants and Bioactive Compounds: Green tea consists of a number of bioactive compounds that can improve one's health. These bioactive compounds include polyphenols like flavonoids and catechins which are best known as antioxidants. The formation of free radicals in the body is curbed by these substances which can further prevent aging and other ailments. The EGCG or Epigallocatechin Gallate is one of the most powerful antioxidants that can be found easily in green tea.
- Brain Function: There are also a number of brain boosting minerals and compounds found in green tea. These substances improve the brain function and keep away the signs of aging when it comes to this area. Caffeine is one of the key ingredients in green tea. This ingredient acts as a vital stimulant, which keeps the brain well functioning. Also, it has a positive effect on the neurons and neurotransmitters that are released by the brain. These neurotransmitters include dopamine and norepinephrine. In this way, green tea also reduces the risk of falling prey to conditions like Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease.
- Fat Burning: Green tea is an excellent fat burning supplement that is fast gaining popularity in the weight management market. The various elements of green tea help in boosting the rate of metabolism and increasing the fat burning process. This is due to the fact that it increases the expenditure of energy to a great degree. Green tea is also credited with the mobilisation of various fatty acids that can be found in the fat tissue of the body.
- Cancer: Green tea also reduces the risk of cancer because it has a number of antioxidants. It helps in the prevention of various kinds of cancer including prostate cancer, breast cancer and even colorectal cancer.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/8/2014 (1083 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
For those of us who are used to fishing the flatlands, wading a rushing mountain stream in pursuit of cutthroat trout with a fly rod in hand, is a bit of a shock.
For ten days last month, southwestern Alberta near the Crowsnest Pass region provided just such a backdrop. Packing up a motorhome, four of us drove fifteen hours from Winnipeg to set up camp.
Our first stop was the Castle Falls Campground located on the shores of the Castle River, a glacier-fed stream that holds cutthroat trout, whitefish and a few rainbow thrown in for good measure. Friend Phil Brake had been fishing this part of Alberta since 2001, a semi-annual pilgrimage that went back to his childhood. Growing up in southern California, he learned to fly fish at an early age, hiking the mountains near his home in Fresno. When he invited me along, I figured why not revisit this part of the world. During my days filming The Complete Angler television series, I shot three different shows in this region. That was close to fifteen years ago. While my stream fly-fishing skills were a little rusty, Phil had me back in the saddle right away.
Alberta has some incredibly scenic campgrounds, the one at Castle Falls Provincial Recreation area is no exception. Our site was serenaded by the sound of moving water 24 hours a day, a bonus when falling asleep after a long day on the river. One thousand metres away, a series of waterfalls tumbled down the valley, attracting tourists from far and wide.
There have been some changes to the booking system for campgrounds in the region. Our site was now in the http://rockymountaincamping.ca/ reservations system. This meant you had to book in advance online.
That usually wouldn't be a problem, except there was no cellphone service upon arrival. Fortunately, the campground manager had a cellphone-signal booster and I was able to muddle through an almost impossible reservation system. Still, the price was right at $18 dollars a night with no power and no running water. There were outdoor toilets though, and a pump to collect water for dishes. The scenery made up for any possible inconvenience. We spent four days headquartered there, visiting a number of different rivers and streams within a 30-km radius. On our first full day, we tried the Carbondale with limited success. For the next three days we fished various sections of the Castle River, including the west arm.
It was on the evening of our third day I hooked and landed my biggest fish of the trip, a beautiful cutthroat that came out of an undercut bank to take my small Prince nymph fly, fished on a dropper rig below a Terranasty (big stone fly imitation). Stone fly hatch in May and early June, but still show up in July. These fish switch over to mayfly hatches during July.
Most of the rivers we fished were small-to-medium sized on this part of the trip and almost all were total catch and release.
On day four, we packed up camp and headed up Highway 507, once again crossing the Castle River as it widens out in its lower stretch. We also crossed over the Crowsnest River, just south of the town of Bellevue. Here we turned onto Highway 3 and headed west where we stopped and visited the two great fly shops that were along the way. At the Crowsnest Angler, friend Vic Bergman has a day off, so we head up to visit Susan Douglas-Murray at the Crowsnest Café & Fly Shop. It's here we get the latest information on the rivers and streams we are about to fish, Susan hand-picked the flies we needed. This chosen selection would dramatically increase our success ratio the rest of the way.
We then went north to the Racehorse Creek campground, which is to be our home for the next five days. This well-treed and spacious campground was centrally located to where we wanted to fish. From here we had access to a multitude of different small rivers, creeks and larger rivers, including the Oldman River. After setting up camp we walked from the campsite to Racehorse Creek, which was only a stone's throw away. While small in stature, this creek provided us with some great evening angling over the next two days. On the second evening, I landed four cutthroat in two different pools, all on pale-morning dun fly, commonly called among fly fishers, a PMD.
The next three days werr mostly spent fishing the Livingstone River, a very popular choice among fly fisherman. There are many roads that lead to the riverside, but finding a stretch (of river) to yourself is tough. The first two days we didn't have too much trouble finding peace and quiet, but come Friday things were crowded.
Since Saturday was our last full day, we decided to head down the foothills to the Oldman River in a section near Highway 22. I had my best day using two different presentations, a Terranasty dry fly along with a Prince nymph dropper. Six fish later the action slowed down... then on the last pool of the day fish started to rise and I caught two beautiful trout on a royal coachman, a satisfying end to an awesome adventure.
Summary: There is much to do in this part of the world and you don't have to be fly fisher to enjoy the breathtaking scenery and crystal-clear streams. Many people just camp wherever they want, usually in a meadow beside any of the rivers I have just mentioned. Some bring their horses, some their ATV's, but most all have a fairly large fifth wheel parked in groups of three or more. We did see wildlife including elk and quite a few deer. Luckily we didn't bump into any bears on our stream adventurer, but that's always a possibility. One thing to keep in mind though, if you do plan to fish, contact one of the fly shops I mentioned to plan your trip. Most of the streams and rivers don't clear up until late June, which makes the fishing that much better. Fall is also an excellent time to come, with fewer people and hungry fish.
