Dean Smith Honored With Presidential Medal of Freedom TodayPosted by Brad Jenkins (@bradjenk) on November 20th, 2013
Today, President Barack Obama will honor 16 individuals with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, including former North Carolina head basketball coach Dean Smith. Due to health reasons, Smith will not be attending the ceremony in Washington. He will instead be represented by his wife, Dr. Linnea Smith, his children, long-time coaching assistant Bill Guthridge, and current UNC coach Roy Williams. If anybody would be fine with not being there to receive such an individual honor, it would be Smith. As a basketball coach, he taught his teams to be unselfish on the court. As a private citizen, Smith was legendary for trying to avoid the limelight and always squirmed uncomfortably when others tried to publicly praise him. Selflessness is a core value to the Hall of Fame coach.
Dean Smith is mostly remembered for his great coaching record over 36 seasons at North Carolina. He took the Tar Heels to 11 Final Fours, winning two national titles, and when he retired in 1997, he held the men's basketball all-time wins record of 879. In addition, almost all his players graduated and under Smith's guidance the North Carolina program was never investigated or sanctioned for NCAA rules violations. All in all, it is arguable that Smith was as successful as any college basketball coach in the history of the game, considering the consistent excellence his teams achieved for such a long period of time and the universally-recognized classy way that he ran his program. Let's not forget that he also coached the 1976 United States Olympic Team to the gold medal under intense domestic and international pressure after the controversial U.S. loss in the 1972 Munich Olympics. In those days, the United States was still sending college players to compete against foreign professionals. All that success over so many years made Dean Smith a popular leader in the sports world for the better part of three decades. But that isn't why he is being honored by President Obama today.

A small town in the North-West of England. Formerly part of the County of Lancashire, St Helens is now unfortunately part of Merseyside, although remains a quality town. St Helens is heavily criticised by their neighbouring city of Liverpool who remain bitter and obnoxious and only love their own people. Although St Helens is small, there is plenty to do and this attracts people from all over the North-West and further for the excuisite cuisine, quality nightlife and superb shopping. St Helens happens to be the Capital of the World for Glass-Making, aswell as the home of arguably the best Rugby League team in the World, St Helens RLFC. Although many (Widnesians, Warringtons and Wiganers) are quick to make negative comments about St Helens, they must ask themselves what their towns are good for; nothing. They all want to live in St Helens; the home of class.
Scouser1: "Fucken hate St Helens me Lird!"

St. Helens is one of the best towns in the north west of England. It used to be part of Lancashire but sadly now is part of Merseyside. The town is built on its heritage in the coal mining industry rugby and world class glass making. We are often out to shame because we are so close to the shit hole called Liverpool. It has a booming night life and great rugby by our world class team St. Helens RLFC.
You should come it's better than any where else in the northwest! Fuck the haters 😂
You should come it's better than any where else in the northwest! Fuck the haters 😂
Hahahahaha St. Helens might look like a shit hole but it's got the best community and I would never feel as welcome in any other town !

A small town in the North West, which has an consistant increase of chavs in the population. These scum tend to go schools like Cowley and De La Salle, and love to wear cheap jewelery from Argos, such as sovereigns and silver chains. St Helens is also the second worst place in the UK for underage pregnancies. Almost everyoe is related too, other than Christopher Moorst. There many celebrities at St Helens, such as Johnny Wellyman and Joey Bogroll.
by Christopher Moorst May 11, 2006
Not a small town at all. It has a population of just under 200,000. But the other entries about it being a shit-hole are right.

I'm an old guy, and I've been pushing a plane for fifty years. I've got a table saw, a jointer, etc., but when I'm a slosh shy of a fit (r a square), I can be done and moving on with another part of the job before I would even break out the electrics.
Question for those who take bench planes, #3 and larger on site on site. What do you do with them? I used to carry a jack plane which I used for dressing edges, mostly doors and lumberyard 1X stock. After buying my first track saw I no longer saw the need. John
Thanks. I agree, the door edges need to be tidied up and eased. I usually use a block plane as it only takes one or two swipes to remove the saw marks. A longer plane would be quicker and more accurate.John
Maybe this is sacrilegious, but what would be the right type of plane for tuning 3/4" plywood edges? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Quote from: indyjumper on January 28, 2017, 08:06 PMMaybe this is sacrilegious, but what would be the right type of plane for tuning 3/4" plywood edges? Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkLow angle planes with the bevel up work best on plywood. I have a low angle jack from Lie-Nielsen, which I think is a totally overrated tool, but the one thing it does do better than a regular old jack plane is plywood edges alternating end and edge grain. There's an argument that low angle planes work better on end grain than regular planes but I'm not persuaded. I know my argument doesn't make sense but I've tried out the plane in a lot of different situations and that's my conclusion.
My experience has been the same as the OP. I only own one plane, A low angle Stanley (a nice old one too). When I get it out someone always comments on my age (which is funny because Im not 50 yet). Although I use it for a hundred different tasks, one of the things it really excels at is scribing baseboard. I can cut a room, carry it in and scribe the whole floor while other guys are dragging each piece outside to use power planers and sanders. I would like to expand my collection too, starting with and most importantly a smoothing plane. Planning on doing some Luthier work and want one for thicknessing and smoothing. Anyone have one they recommend ? Traditional or Japanese doesn't really matter as much as effectiveness.
I pull out my hand plane and know he back off a panel to get a snug fit to some casing. The builder was like what the heck are you doing? Fitting this panel. He yells at the out side guys and asks if any of them have a hand plane. They all laugh.

Courtesy Tufts University Sports Information
MEDFORD, Mass. - Engineers' captain Andrew Bishara tallied the game-winning goal in the 78th minute of a tightly contested match with non-conference foe Tufts University on Tuesday evening, as MIT downed the Jumbos, 2-1. The decisive strike came less than seven minutes after freshman phenom Christian Therkelsen had tied the contest up with his fifth goal in three games.
With the victory, the Engineers remain perfect at 3-0-0, marking the squad's most prolific start to a season since 2001, when the Cardinal and Gray won its first four matches. The loss drops Tufts, a member of the New England Small College Athletic Conference, to 0-1-1.
Though the teams played a scoreless first half, the action was anything but dull. The Jumbos fired nine shots towards Tech keeper Tom Caldwell's net, six of which forced the East Berlin, Pa., native into saves. The traffic certainly wasn't all one way, however, as Tufts goalie David McKeon was forced into four stops of his own in the opening 45 minutes.
It was the Jumbos who ultimately broke the deadlock early in the second half, as Bear Duker's long pass off of a free kick near midfield found senior tri-captain Greg O'Connell, who finished to put Tufts in front, 1-0. O'Connell has scored all three of his team's goals through the first two games of the season.
MIT pulled even in the 71st minute when Therkelsen, the reigning NEWMAC Player of the Week, headed home an unassisted tally following a Tufts turnover at the top of the box. The rookie has now scored in each of his first three intercollegiate games to give him a conference-leading total of five goals.
Bishara's game-winner also came via a header, as he nodded home a free kick from freshman Matt Talpe.
Duker hit the post late on for the Jumbos, but the hosts were ultimately unable to find an equalizer.
Caldwell finished with eight saves for the Cardinal and Gray and maintained his impressive 1.00 goals-against-average, while McKeon ended the night with four stops.
The Engineers will return to Steinbrenner Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 15, when they will host Clark University in each team's New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference opener at 10:30 a.m. Tufts will also return to the field on Saturday, as they will welcome conference opponent Middlebury College to Bello Field at 1:00 p.m.

The election is over.
We the people had our say.
And Chuck Norris' prognosticated "1,000 Years of Darkness" has begun.
Or it's simply the end of daylight saving time.
So now that that's over with, let's get to a debate that truly matters, one I know you've been eagerly awaiting, a vote that will impact your life more than which president's picture you'll be throwing darts at for the next four years: Who makes a better sub sandwich? Mario's Deli in Glendale? Or the Handy Market in Burbank?
As a Glendale son and Burbank resident, my heart belongs to both cities. And this column appears in both newspapers.
In my efforts to rile up residents of both burgs into emailing me over something other than my political, religious and social views, I threw down that truly savory challenge to readers a few weeks ago.
It's not exactly Hatfields and McCoys, or even high school football. But no lives were lost.
The results are in. And the response was abundant, much like the contesting sandwiches. Overall, both earned rave reviews — each on their own was a favorite.
Aisle 3 at Handy Market is one of the few lines I don't mind standing in, given its view of the choice meats at the butcher counter and its friendly and courteous people. Their Italian sub is a meal in itself: a foot-long concoction thick as Peyton Manning's forearm; a masterful mélange of hand-sliced mortadella, hard salami, pastrami, mayo, mustard, red onion, pickle, shredded lettuce, tomato and Provolone.
At Mario's there is no line. You take a ticket and wait. Which is a glorious thing. Because if you didn't have to mill around waiting for your number to be called you'd miss seeing the selection of premium meats, cheese, wine and imported goods; the refrigerators and freezers filled with Italian delicacies, pastas and sauces.
Oh, the clam sauce! Heaven.
The Mario's house combo sub is a double-layered symphony of salami, mortadella, capicolo, ham and whatever other meats they have available that day, plus lettuce, onion, tomato and mozzarella cheese. Coating the bread is a sauce that combines mayo and mustard.
"Two votes for the Handy Market in Burbank," Rachel emailed me. "Fresh and tasty. Not as expensive. While Mario's Deli had a great special sauce and delicious meat, we didn't like the three layers of bread."
For others it was that special sauce that set Mario's apart.
Pat offered this assessment: "Meat: good quality. Dressing: delicious. Bread: not too dry or too mushy. Sandwich almost, but not quite, too messy."
Jim felt that the Handy Market offering was a "Fairly straightforward sandwich. Good. But it doesn't stand out like the Mario's sandwich does."
Jake disagreed.
"I liked the quantity of meat and pickles on the Handy Market sub," he said. "Lots of flavors, and it was easier to handle than the Mario's one. Plus I don't like mustard, and with the Mario's sub it's in the sauce."
Of the Mario's sub, Jason said, "A little too much bread. Otherwise a terrific sandwich. I really enjoyed it. I give it an 8/10."
And James liked the Handy Market sandwich because he thought it had "fresh bread, meat, veggies and was nice and cool. I would put this sub in my good sub category, and at $5.99 it jumps into my very good sub category."
But in a head-to-head competition, only one sub can reign supreme. And based upon the highly suspect swing-state polling methods used on my family, co-workers and readers, the winner is:
Mario's house combo sub.
Though most felt the triple layers of bread made the sandwich cumbersome, its balanced flavors, authentic deli meat quality and special sauce set it apart from the more traditionalist Handy Market sub. But that shouldn't take away from the value and overall great taste delivered by Handy Market.
If this were a barbecued tri-tip sandwich competition, there would be only one choice.
In our frenzied times, it can be all too easy to hit the fast-food drive-through or buy meals ready-to-eat from the supermarket. There are abundant choices for great, affordable food from independently owned shops in our communities. Do yourself and your neighbors a favor by visiting them a little more often.
Which leads me to my next challenge: Where is your favorite (non-chain) burger joint in Glendale and Burbank?
Drop me a line, let me know and look for another Food Fight in the coming weeks.

Butterflies are probably the most popular insects ever! But what about moths? What's their story? Why are they less popular than butterflies, considering the fact that there are nearly 250,000 species of them compared to only about 20,000 species of butterflies? This is one fact among a plethora of others that I'm sure you all would like to know about moths!
The question we get asked the most here at the CBC is what is the difference between butterflies and moths? It can be a little tricky to explain. They are two completely different types of insects. However, the characteristics that define them are not always so clear-cut. For example, butterflies are diurnal, meaning that they fly during the day. Most moths are nocturnal, but some can be crepuscular (meaning they fly at dawn and dusk) and some are even diurnal. Butterflies and moths can both have thin antennae, but only moths have feathery antennae. Butterflies have thinner bodies with less hair while moths are chunky and hairy! Although, I have seen some stalky butterflies, and hairy ones too. Butterflies tend to be bright and colorful, whereas moths are normally cryptic and drab. But what is thought to be the most beautiful lepidopteran in the world is actually, a moth. So sometimes, you need to take a second or third look to determine which one it is.
As different as they are, they are similar in many fundamental ways. They both have scales covering their wings, they feed on flower nectar with a proboscis, and they have complete metamorphosis that includes a larva, pupa, and adult stage. These life stages are given specific names. The larva of both are known as caterpillars and the pupa is called a chrysalis. Some moths build a silk covering around their chrysalis for protection. This is known as a cocoon, and despite what some people think, butterflies do not make cocoons.
Moths do get some recognition, unfortunately, it's not all good. Several moths are serious pests in gardens, in forests, on farms, and even on clothes and in stored grains! If you have tomatoes, you may be familiar with the tomato hornworm.

This is a huge and beautiful caterpillar but it has a very big appetite that most people don't appreciate! It is a member of the Sphingidae, or sphinx moth family. These moths are often large and impressive, making them one of the most popular families. The caterpillars can be pesky, but can be deterred by planting marigolds around your tomato plants. The Gypsy Moth is another famous caterpillar that has caused a lot of problems. They originated in Europe and Asia but were introduced to the United States in the 1800s. Since their arrival, they have defoliated millions of acres of forest. Although they are better controlled now, they continue to be a major pest of hardwood trees. We all remember the smell of moth balls in our grandma's closet. We can thank the common clothes moth for that wonderful smell! The caterpillars of these tiny moths are big fans of natural, proteinaceous fibers such as silk and wool. Luckily, they will not eat artificial fibers, so a lot of our clothes are safe now.
So, I know you're thinking: "why should we like moths?" Look at all the trouble they cause! Well, like all other insects, the pests are a tiny minority and the rest make up for it in so many different ways! So, a couple of them eat silk, but where do you think we get that silk to begin with?? The silkworm (bombyx mori) is the world's only domesticated insect. It is farmed for its silk and these little guys produce a ton of silk worth millions of dollars every year. They are not the only ones. There are several types of moths in the family Saturniidae (giant silk moths) that are used for their silk as well.
|Hummingbird Moth

What about pollination? Butterflies do well during the day, but there are so many night blooming flowers. Moths have those covered! Hawkmoths (a.k.a sphinx moths or hornworms) are lovely evening pollinators. They are excellent fliers and some, like the hummingbird moth, are able to hover next to flowers to get nectar. They are often mistaken for hummingbirds. They are awesome to watch! You can plant a moon garden in conjunction with your butterfly garden to attract moths like these. They are attracted to flowers with white blooms that open or are most fragrant in the evening.
One last thing to mention is the beauty of moths. Everyone raves about butterflies, but some moths rival and depending on who you ask, surpass the beauty of butterflies. There are several breathtaking species of sphinx moths such as the Oleander Hawk Moth. All sphinx moths are known for their distinctive wing shape, very thick bodies and amazing flight capabilities. The larvae have a horn at the end of their abdomens during their earlier stages – giving rise to the name hornworm.

Saturniids, or giant silk moths, are perhaps the most well known moths. They are very large with butterfly-like wings that often have eyespots and brilliant colors. Perhaps the most well known is the Luna Moth. They are a beautiful light green color with graceful, flowing tails. Even more amazing is its relative the Madagascan moon moth or Comet Moth. Some other common saturniids that can be found around here include the Cecropia, Polyphemus and Io moths. Unfortunately, these beautiful giants only live for a couple of days as adult moths. They emerge as adults with no mouth parts, so they do not feed. They live off of food stored from their caterpillar stage until they find a mate and then they die. We do display a species of giant silk moth here at the Cockrell Butterfly Center, the Atlas Moth from Southeast Asia. This is actually the largest moth species in the world and it is amazing!
Finally, there is the Uraniidae, the family that includes the world's most beautiful lepidopteran, according to some. This family contains several beautiful and colorful moths but the most famous is the Madagascan Sunset Moth. They were originally grouped together with swallowtail butterflies until 50 years after its discovery. I'm not sure if it's the prettiest, but it is certainly a sight to see!
Whether they're large and colorful or small and cryptic, I think moths are fascinating and beautiful insects that are just as important as any other beneficial insect. Next time you see one resting during the day, take a closer look. You may be surprised to see the intricate shapes and patterns that make up its "drab" camouflage. Until next time, happy bug watching!

Danny Davis and Kelly Clark win 2014 Mammoth Grand Prix #3 pipe
Part of the Five Stops To Sochi series presented by Mammoth
This morning marked the third of five Olympic pipe qualifying events, just two days before the majority of the US Olympic pipe team is decided on Sunday, and the level of riding was noticeably elevated. Ordinarily, anyone scoring in the 90s would be looking a podium spot but today seven out the 15 riders ranked in that range. With only three official Olympic spots being announced on Sunday, it was clear the riders were holding nothing back. That forth and final spot on the team is being decided at the discretion of the US team coaches and will be announced possibly after X Games.
To make up for the cancelled Breckenridge Grand Prix, the day was packed with two standalone finals—one in the morning, one in the afternoon—almost guaranteeing change-ups in the US team qualification standings once it was all over.
Yet with so much on the line Shaun White, who was qualified seventh for the US team before today, decided not to ride in the first contest. This meant that suddenly there would be a greater chance for other riders to earn a much-needed win before the US team is picked. Not that Shaun is unbeatable in pipe, as we saw when Greg Bretz took the top spot from him at the 2013 Dew Tour in Breckenridge back in December, but he's got a pretty good track record of winning. In fact, the last pipe rider to beat Shaun in the last four years other than Greg was Danny Davis at the Mammoth Grand Prix back in 2010.
Danny has been going huge and tossing out double corks since the Dew Tour, which was the first Olympic qualifying stop, but he couldn't find his way onto the podium. By the Copper Mountain Grand Prix a week later he was taking a different approach and mixing some little-seen switch tricks into his run—he was going for a switch frontside air to switch backside 540 on his final two hits but couldn't get that last trick.
Those runs at Copper were just a warmup for today. Halfway down Danny's first run he threw a frontside double cork 1080, which was a setup for an alley-oop switch backside rodeo 540 to switch backside 720. The judges rewarded that run with a 95.20, which held him the rest of the contest.
"Switch riding's something that, for some reason, doesn't get explored in halfpipe that much," Danny said of his win. "It's just more flips, more spins—you know, let's go 12, let's go 14, but there's a whole other way to ride and that's your un-regular stance."
Coming in hot behind Danny in second place was Taylor Gold with a run that included his nearly perfected frontside 1260. Matt Ladley picked up the third spot after narrowly edging out Louie Vito with his second run.
Going into today's first pipe event the top three pipe riders qualified for the US team were Greg Bretz, Taylor Gold, and Ben Ferguson, but the new placements shuffled the rankings putting Taylor Gold in the top spot. Greg was bumped to second and Danny Davis moved to third—temporarily that is, until the second men's final took place in the afternoon.
Kelly Clark undefeated in Grand Prix series so far
There was little surprise when Kelly Clark took the top women's pipe spot today—she's won everything since Dew Tour and will undoubtedly being going to the Olympics. With that knowledge and nothing really riding on the contest for her, she changed up her run and went with a more risky frontside 1080 to start things off.
"If you can do your most difficult trick up high, you're going to get rewarded for it," said Kelly. "Not only am I doing the 1080 first, I'm also doing my Cab seven out of it, which is my next most technical trick."
While Kelly's setting the bar for the rest of the field, she's still hoping to one-up herself at the final Grand Prix on Sunday with back-to-back 1080s.
Chloe Kim picked up second place and even though the 13-year-old is too young to go to these Olympics, she proved she'll be a force in the future after beating some women more than twice her age. She was grinning the whole time.
The rider to benefit the most from this morning's event was Hannah Teter who took the third spot. Hannah had been sitting in ninth on the US team list but the finish started her climb up the standings.

text: Iran could not attack Israel without an "annihilating response" [GALLO/GETTY]Santa Barbara, CA - In his important article in the New York Times on March 17, 2012, James Risen summarised the remarkable consensus of the intelligence community in the United States that Iran abandoned its programme to develop nuclear weapons in 2003 and no persuasive evidence exists that it has departed from this decision. It might have been expected that such news - based on the best evidence on which billions was spent due to sensitive security issues - would produce a huge sigh of relief in Washington and Tel Aviv. On the contrary, it has been totally ignored, including by the highest officers in the government, and the opposite reality has been confirmed. The US president has not even bothered to acknowledge this electrifying conclusion that should have put the brakes on what appears to be a slide toward a disastrous regional war. We must insistently ask "why" such a prudent and positive course of action has not been adopted or at least explored. And we must tentatively answer that there must be some reason other than the supposed fear of Iran possessing a few nuclear bombs that explains the war fever, but what? No credible evidence Given that the American debate and Israeli pressure proceeds on the basis of the exact opposite assumption - as if Iran's quest for nuclear weapons is a virtual certainty. The contrary finding that it is a high probability that Iran gave up its quest of nuclear weapons almost a decade ago is quite startling and is opposed by no credible evidence. People & Power - Iran and the Bomb Listening to the Republican presidential candidates or Netanyahu and even to President Obama makes it still seem as if Iran is without doubt hell-bent on having nuclear weapons at the earliest possible time. With such a misleading approach, the only policy question being posed - and it is a false one - is whether to rely on diplomacy backed by harsh sanctions to achieve the desired goal or that only an early attack to stop Iran from crossing the nuclear threshold. Because Obama prefers for now the diplomatic option he is presented by supporters as a "moderate" and criticised by the extreme war hawks as an "appeaser". It seems perverse that this public debate on policy toward Iran should be framed in such a belligerent and seemingly wrongheaded manner. After all, the US was stampeded into a disastrous oil-driven war against Iraq nine years ago on the basis of deceptive reports about its supposed stockpile of weapons of mass destruction, trumped up exile allegations and media hype. I would have assumed that these bad memories would make Washington very cautious about drifting toward war with Iran, a far more dangerous enemy than Saddam Hussein's Iraq. It would seem that at present, the politicians are distrustful of reassuring intelligence reports and completely willing to go along with the intelligence community when it counsels an unlawful and imprudent war as "a slam dunk". Reinforcing this skepticism about Iran's nuclear intentions is a realistic assessment of the risk posed in the unlikely event that the intelligence community's consensus is wrong and Iran after all succeeds in acquiring nuclear weapons. As former heads of Mossad and others have pointed out the existential threat to Israel even then Iran's threat would still be minimal. It should be obvious that Iran's few bombs could never be used against Israel or elsewhere without producing an annihilating response. There is absolutely no evidence that Iran has any disposition to commit national suicide. There is a further troubling aspect of how this issue is being addressed. Even in the Risen article it is presumed that if the evidence existed that Iran possesses a nuclear weapons programme, a military attack would be a permissible option. Such a presumption is based on the irrelevance of international law to a national decision to attack a sovereign state and a silent endorsement of "aggressive war" that had been supposedly criminalised back in 1945 as the principal conclusion of the Nuremberg Judgment. Better policy options This dubious thinking has gone unchallenged in the media, in government pronouncements and even in diplomatic posturing. We need to recall that at the end of World War II when the UN was established, states agreed in the UN Charter to give up their military option except in clear instances of self-defence. To some extent, over the years, this prohibition has been eroded, but in the setting of Iran policy, it has been all but abandoned without even the pressure of extenuating circumstances. Talk to Al Jazeera - Hans Blix: The Iranian threat Of course, it would be in some respects unfortunate if Iran acquires nuclear weapons given the instability of the region and the general dangers associated with their spread. But no persuasive international law argument or precedent is available to justify attacking a sovereign state because it goes nuclear. After all, Israel became a nuclear weapons' state secretly decades ago without a whimper of opposition from the West. And the same goes for India, Pakistan and North Korea's acquisition of weapons which produced only a muted response that was soon dropped from sight. There are far better policy options that are worth considering, which uphold international law and have a good chance of leading to enhanced regional stability. The most obvious option is containment that worked for decades against an expansionist Soviet Union with a gigantic arsenal of nuclear weapons. A second option would be to establish a nuclear weapons free zone for the Middle East, an idea that has been around for years and enjoys the endorsement of most governments in the region, including Iran. Israel might seem to have the most to lose by a nuclear-free zone in the Middle East because it alone currently possesses nuclear weapons. And Israel would benefit immensely by the reduction in regional tensions and probable economic and diplomatic benefits, particularly if accompanied by a more constructive approach to resolving the conflict with the Palestinian people. The most ambitious and desirable option, given political credibility by President Obama in his Prague speech of 2009, expressing commitment to a world without nuclear weapons, would be to table a proposal for complete nuclear disarmament on a step-by-step basis. Each of these approaches seem far preferable to what is now planned, prudent, accord with common sense, show respect for international law, a passion for the peaceful resolution of conflict and at minimum, deserve to be widely discussed and appraised. As it is, there is no legal foundation in the Non-Proliferation Treaty or elsewhere for the present reliance on threat diplomacy in dealing with Iran. These threats of a military attack violate Article 2(4) of the UN Charter that wisely prohibits not only uses of force, but also threats to use force. Iran diplomacy presents an odd case, as political real politik and international law clearly point away from the military option and yet the winds of war are blowing ever harder. Perhaps, it is naïve to expect political leaders in the West to awake and realise finally that respect for international law provides the only practical foundation for a rational and sustainable foreign policy in the 21st century. This is highly unlikely to happen until American leaders can conceive of security outside the military box that has so often in recent years led to disaster for others and failure for the militarists.

From the Early modern period, County Leitrim is named after the village. Leitrim has the smallest population of the counties of Ireland. In 1925, Leitrim village comprised 30 houses with 5 being licensed to sell alcohol. Liatroim was a strategically important ford of the River Shannon connecting Ulster and Connacht. The Irish Annals makes mention of Leitrim village many times. In 1270 the Battle of Áth an Chip between Normans and Connacht probably occurred on Drumhierney townland beside Battle-bridge.
The population of County Leitrim is roughly 485 people.[1]
Archives and Libraries
General County Research Information
Further information about County Leitrim is available at;
Genuki Leitrim
A nation-wide compilation of headstones was created some years ago. Visit the FamilySearch Catalog (online) under "Ireland" and Cemetery records - Indexes" for availability.
- 1901 - Ireland Census, 1901 at FamilySearch — index
- 1911 - Ireland Census, 1911 at FamilySearch — index
Church Records
Church of Ireland
The Representative Church Body Library has all surviving Church of Ireland registers. Some copies are held at:
- the local parish
- local archives and libraries
- FHL (Family History Library) has few transcription copies of Church of Ireland parishes
The vast majority of Presbyterian chapel registers have never been centrally archived, and thus are found in various locations. [Regretably, preservation of these precious records and the rich Presbyterian heritage of local Presbyterians as well as descendants of same, at large whose roots originate from Ireland, are at risk unless and until such time as when these registers are all copied into at least microform or, better--a digitized format.]
You must conduct exhaustive, thorough studies to determine to which Presbyterian denomination your ancestor belonged; and to then, determine the whereabouts of surviving registers--if any. The following most likely places to start your search to find and search Presbyterian registers starts with checking at the following locations:
- the local Presbyterian church/chapel (if still in use)
- distant Presbyterian chapels (if the local chapel closed) as registers transferred usually to the next nearest chapel
- town libraries
- county archives/libraries
- PRONI (Public Record Office of Northern Ireland) - has significant collections
- The National Archives, Dublin
- The National Library of Ireland
- Presbyterian Historical Society, Belfast - has older registers for some chapels/congregations
- for Presbyterian ancestry for especially earlier years after the church was created, be sure to look in the Church of Ireland parish registers for vital events.
- The excellent RootsIreland web site for County Leitrim has a few Presbyterian chapels' data now available online; some from as early as 1829.
- Search FamilySearch Catalog (FamilySearch Catalog) to determine availability of transcription copies of Presbyterian chapels.
Most Methodist Church registers of baptisms and marriages are still held locally at the Methodist churches. You must contact the minister office of each chapel, bearing in mind that they may or may not conduct ancestral searches on your behalf.
PRONI (Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, Belfast) possesses the largest collection of Methodist registers which is mostly available only on microfilm.
The Wesley Historical Society Archives, at Edgehill College, in Belfast also has significant record holdings in both microform format of records and hard copy registers. You may initially contact them; however, they will not perform genealogical searches for you. You will likely need to contact a professional researcher or a record agent on your behalf. Here is the contact information for:
Edgehill Theological College
9 Lennox Vale
Belfast BT9 5BY
United Kingdom
Tel: 028 9068 5870 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
RootsIreland.ie has 7 chapels' data available online currently, from as early as 1842. In the future this web site might have some Methodist data available to researchers online. Keep checking back often.
Roman Catholic
The FHL (Family History Library) has several copies of the original Roman Catholic parish registers of County Leitrim parishes in its collection. You can identify these listed online at FamilySearch.org. IF you know the name of the civil parish in which your Catholic ancestor resided, or was from, click "Catalog" and type in the name of the parish and then highlight/click on "Church Records".
The National Library, Kildare Street, Dublin, is the custodian of all available Roman Catholic parish registers from throughout the country--including County Leitrim.
The rootsireland.ie web site has data from numerous Roman Catholic parishes now online for searching. There are fees attached (about $7 for each entry).

Estate Records
Estate records may provide names of households in such records as leases, rents, and mortgages. These ought to be consulted and used when extant, especially when church registers do not exist for the time period being researched. Here are some web sites which hold estate records and some transcriptions of same:
- findmypast
- Connacht Province Landed Estate Database (online)
- Freeholders Records - many Irish freeholders

Here are two important place-name aids/tools for locating your Irish place and its parish jurisdiction[s]:
- List of All Townlands, Towns and Townships in County Leitrim. - click county "Leitrim"; then click "Submit" to view a complete alphabetical listing of all townlands, towns and townships and the parishes in which they reside
- Topographical Dictionary of Ireland by Samuel A. Lewis; at LibraryIreland.com - provides a rich 1837 historical perspective of each Ireland parish and large township; great for determining which churches existed in each parish--Church of Ireland or Nonconformist
Here are two online County Leitrim probate sites to visit with data from early to at least 1810:
The Family History Library (FHL) has "Abstracts of Some Ardagh, Clogher and Kilmore Diocesan Wills. Alphabetical list of Wills proved mainly 1739-1810, in the above Diocese. Article in The Irish Ancestor, vol.VI.no.2.1974. pages 112-121, Family History Library Ref. 941.5 B2i v5-6. Possibly also available in most major university, research libraries and some larger public libraries.
Family history societies often publish helpful journals, transcripts, compiled genealogies and host helpful websites. They may have ongoing projects to transcribe records and create indexes. Most societies publish queries in their journals and maintain lists of members' research interests that may be helpful to you. You may want to join one of these societies, reap the benefits of their expertise and resources or support its efforts.

A French isle, less visited than Martinique, Guadeloupe is sometimes called "the butterfly island" due to its shape that loosely resembles that beautiful insect --the two "wings" of the butterfly are Grand-Terre (on the eastern side with rolling hills and sugar plantations) and Basse-Terre (on the western side dotted with banana plantations and mountainous landscapes that are dominated by the 4,104-foot peak of still-active, La Soufriere Volcano). A drawbridge over a river, the Riviere Salee (the Salt River) that flows between the Caribbean from the Atlantic connects both sides of the island.
Discovered by Columbus in 1493, Guadeloupe became a French Overseas Department in 1946, and a Region in 1974. Other islands that belong to Guadeloupe's archipelago include Marie Galante, Isles Des Saintes (sometimes called Les Saintes), Petite Terre and La Desirade. Isles Des Saintes, a cluster of eight islands about six miles from Guadeloupe, include Terre-de-Haute and Terre-de-Bas which attract some cruise ships for their beautiful bay, beaches and diving.
On Guadeloupe, some cruise ships call at Pointe-a-Pitre on Grande-Terre, where the main attractions include shopping in the outdoor market, walking along the waterfront and enjoying the "Grand-Terre Riviera" resorts of Sainte-Anne, Saint-Francois and Gosier. Pointe-a-Pitre's town center, La Place de la Victoire, is shaded by palms and royal poinciana trees. Some of the trees in this square are said to have been planted by Victor Hugues, who was the colonial administrator of the island in the 18th century and emancipated the slaves under orders of the French National Convention.
Some cruise vessels, like the computerized mega-sailboats of Windstar, stop at Basse-Terre, the capital of Guadeloupe. Walking tours sold onboard typically start in the Quartier St. Francois, a stone's throw from the cruise ship's pier and visit the main plaza, Nolivos Square on Cours Nolivos. The plaza dates from 1767 and has as its focal point the stately Town Hall built in 1889 in Neo-Classical style and surrounded by some restored late 18th and early 19th century buildings.
Other points of interest on Basse-Terre walking tours include the old slave market at the Place du Soldeur where slaves were bought, sold and punished and where the guillotine was installed during the French Revolution; and the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Guadeloupe on Rue du Docteur Cabre, built in 1736 in Classical style, with statues of Sts. Peter and Paul in the façade and baroque and classical side chapels.
At the Maison du Patrimonie (Heritage House) on Rue Baudot, visitors can see a typical 19th century Creole upper middle class house, a two-story home with red steel roof and kitchen wing and slave quarters flanking a central courtyard. From its second story there is a view of traditional 18th and 19th century houses with wrought iron balconies. The colorful city market on Rue de la Republic --bustling with people buying produce, fish, crafts and other merchandise is yet another point of interest.
A lush rainforest, Parc Naturel National Park, on the flanks of La Soufriere Volcano is another highlight for visitors to Basse-Terre, which can be toured independently if your time in port allows. It is a lush, peaceful, green world with hiking trails to enjoy giant ferns, waterfalls, hot springs, cool mountain pools --and of course, the volcano.
Other organized shore excursions available on cruise ships include snorkeling in the Cousteau Reserve, named in honor of Jacques Cousteau who dived in these waters, and to a working plantation.
Iles des Saintes, a dependency of Guadeloupe, sometimes visited by small cruise vessels, is an unspoiled, green and hilly Neverland-like cluster of islands where one almost expects to see a mermaid lagoon. Tenders take passengers ashore to the small pier in Terre-de-Haut. Settled by people from Normandy and Brittany, the island is very French, with a monument marking July 14, French Independence Day, steps from the pier, and a Town Hall adorned with French flags and the words "Liberte," "Egalite," and "Fraternite" inscribed on the façade.
Signs like "Tabac," "Boulangerie" and "Patisserie" identify some of the stores and a "Transport Touristique" van is available to take people to Marigot Beach or to do an island tour.
A 20-minute walk from the pier via the Rue du Marigot to Pompierre Beach, the best beach on Terre-de-Haut is rewarding: the way to the beach passes pastoral scenery of grazing sheep and cattle and an iguana or two --the island is overrun by them.
Pompierre Beach itself is an idyll with an ample bay with wind-sculpted rock formations in front that almost enclosed it. Palm trees provide shade. Calm, aquamarine waters are invitingly warm, ideal for swimming and snorkeling with sergeant majors, parrot fish, angelfish, eels and other marine life often spotted.
Island flavors include Creole cuisine -- try the crab with hot pepper and coconut in Guadeloupe; on Iles Des Saintes, the grilled fish or a lamb stew at one of the waterfront cafés.
Cruise lines that call on Pointe-a-Pitre include Seabourn, Silversea and Windstar. Lines that call at Iles Des Saintes, a dependency of Guadeloupe, include Holland America, Seabourn, Star Clippers and Windstar.

Make this charming pillow with your favorite selvages! It's quick and easy.
Wouldn't it look great in your quilt studio, or make a sweet gift for a quilter friend?
The back of the pillow could be simply a solid fabric, or you could sew leftover strips to a foundation as shown below. (Instructions are for the front of the pillow only.)
One Moda Scrapbag (containing selvages)
Foundation fabric, 16″ x 16″
Backing fabric, 16″ x 16″
Purchased pillow form, 16″ x 16″
Pen or pencil
Step One: Measure each side of your foundataion square placing a mark in the center as shown. Draw lines to connect these 4 marks. The lines will serve as a guide in placing your horizontal selvages. Cover these lines as you attach each selvage.
Step Two: Trim the selvages to your desired width as you work. I cut mine about 1.5 inches wide, so that some of the printed pattern shows. Some are wider because I wanted the cherries or something special to show. Starting at the bottom, lay your first selvage near the edge of the foundation and topstitch along the bound edge, as shown below. Perfection is not critical here, as you will see later.
Step Five: Now (peeking behind your foundation to see where your center marks are) arrange selvages on the diagonal and topstitch.
Continue on, adding selvages on all four corners.
Step Seven: Place your selvage block and your backing right sides together and sew along the outer edge using a quarter inch seam allowance. Leave an opening along the bottom edge about 7 inches long, reinforcing your stitching at each end of this opening. You may want to round the corners as shown below (so your pillow won't have little points sticking out). Trim the corners. Turn right side out. Insert pillow (it helps to have another pair of hands at this point). Hand sew the opening closed. You're done!

Last night, Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto told the AP that he is not the Satoshi Nakamoto listed as the creator of Bitcoin.
That is contrary to a Newsweek cover story reported by Leah McGrath Goodman, along with at least two forensic analysts, arguing that he is.
Now, the "real Satoshi" may have surfaced to further confirm he is not Dorian Nakamoto.
Last night, a social network account known to have been used by the Satoshi credited with Bitcoin suddenly came alive after nearly five years of dormancy (by the user himself). Here is what was written:
The social network is called Ning, and it's used on the Peer2Peer Foundation's site.
Josef Davies-Coates, the creator of Ning, confirmed that whoever has access to the Satoshi account there uses the same email address listed on the original Bitcoin spec paper.
proof reg'd email of #SatoshiNakamoto on @P2P_Foundation@Ning same as one in #bitcoin paper https://t.co/5WFdE087x1pic.twitter.com/kNkaEtdcDq— Josef Davies-Coates (@jdaviescoates) March 7, 2014
Newsweek and McGrath Goodman continue to assert that Dorian Nakamoto is the Satoshi of Bitcoin, telling CBS This Morning Friday, "with me he definitely acknowledged Bitcoin."
It remains possible Dorian Nakamoto could be the person with access to the account, and is just confusing everyone.

Ducks: Randy Carlyle canned… Bruce Boudreau hired
Multiple twitter media types are reporting that Randy Carlyle has been fired as coach of the Ducks and Bruce Boudreau has been hired as replacement. At this point, I think that puts a stop to the Bobby Ryan rumors, for now. Have to give these guys all a chance under a new coaching strategy.

Rick Perry's new ad is so gross, and has more dislikes on YouTube than 'Friday', which is no small feat. I actually like Friday (haha my shame) but I am glad that people have the sense to give Perry a thumbs down. It makes me believe in this country and the good feeling and smarts and fine taste we possess as a nation.
When I worked in Austin years ago doing club sets at Capital City, people would tell me that the best way to get the audience going was to talk about how Rick Perry was gay. They said he was closeted and that this was an open secret and a familiar joke that had been bandied about the gay community for Perry's entire political career.
Also, back then, Perry had very recently fired several openly gay government officials who worked in his office, and the people of Austin were angry about it. They said it was an attempt to hide his true identity. He didn't want people working with him who knew about him. That's real closet case behavior. You take measures to ensure that you are the only one, because the fewer who know, the fewer you need to protect yourself from. you can keep the charade going for longer if no one is on your team. It seems lonely. That is sad that a gay man has to hide who he is to the point of hurting those he is, but isn't that how it goes when your live/work space is in the closet?
The ad is insane, like he's walking in Narnia, the deep dark foresty depths of the closet, wearing the brokeback jacket of all things and talking about how gay rights somehow interferes with Christmas. Did the gays steal Christmas? Is GLBT the new Grinch?

A most significant contribution to the Orange County landscape by businessman-philanthropist Henry T. Segerstrom, that is also possibly the least recognized, is his artistic vision, and the elevated standard demanded by that vision.
Last week in Laguna Beach in association with the Laguna Art Museum, Henry and Elizabeth Segerstrom representing the Segerstrom Family Foundation served as presenting sponsors joining forces with corporate sponsor Hurley and additional donors for the opening of "Noguchi: California Legacy."
The formidable exhibit will be on display through October 2.
Henry Segerstrom met Isamu Noguchi, born in Los Angeles in 1904, nearly 50 years ago. The Japanese American, who passed away in 1988, was considered one of the 20th century's most acclaimed sculptors.
His artistic work grew to include large-scale public installations encompassing garden design, first in Mexico, then in Japan and China. In the late 1970s, in association with his friend and patron Henry Segerstrom, a remarkable urban project began to take form for a Costa Mesa garden between office buildings.
For Costa Mesa, the creation of California Scenario, otherwise known as Noguchi Garden, was nothing less than revolutionary. Ground broke in 1980 and the South Coast Sculpture garden was completed in 1982. It could never have been created without Segerstrom's artistic vision.
Nearly 30 years later, California Scenario is recognized as world-class urban landscape art. The museum exhibit traces the evolution of a remarkable career of Noguchi's life through his work, including California Scenario, "The Courage of Imagination" (Akari Light sculptures), and additional sculpture multiples he created in the 1980s. During that time he was associated with Gemini G.E.L., the L.A.-based artist's workshop responsible for publishing and duplicating limited editions of a selected class of work by highly regarded contemporary artists and sculptors.
The distillation of the artistic equation is simple. The great artist must have patronage with vision. And the patronage must not only have the vision but also the tenacity and the clout to lead those in community seats of power to abandon their fear and their provincialism — all in order to open the door to uncharted artistic territory.
In Henry Segerstrom's case, Costa Mesa is now a world-class suburban community that has become a standard bearer of American quality of living. It would not be so without the Noguchi Garden or any number of endeavors encompassing art, design, culture, education and community centers of opportunity — all resulting from exemplary leaderships and, yes, artistic vision far beyond the ordinary.
Visit the Noguchi Garden and treat yourself to the exhibit at Laguna Art Museum. For more information call (949) 494-8971 or go to http://www.LagunaArtMuseum.org.

Are You a Fixer?
My friend's wife admitted she is a fixer. I mean she fixes everyone's problems. She says she has a tendency, when" I see someone with a problem, to try and help them fix it or just fix it myself."
She realized she's working on at least six different issues right now and not one of them is her own.
Are you the same? You don't like seeing people sad, mad, upset, and hurt.
In the process of "fixing," she ends up carrying much of the other person's stress on her own shoulders.
Does this sound like you yet? What advice do you have? She admits to her husband she may have an issue. How the heck do you let that stuff go?
I found from some conversations with others this advice. Quit fixing and start believing in others. Be curious to see what they know before you offer your advice. Determine if their ideas have value and they need more courage than direction. They may know the right answer but are afraid to take the next step. Share stories about times you faced similar situations and how you learned from your mistakes. You can give them the benefit of your experiences but you can't give them the experience. They need their own experiences and lessons to develop.

130 x 150 cm, Oil on canvas
When we go to sleep, we dream. Our dreams are so colourful, so powerful and full of emotions that they sometimes lose any resemblance to the physical world that we know.
This is what Mitkov's paintings placed in this category are: mystical and enchanting with their bright colours at the speed of time. They offer a reality lingering on the verge between waking life and a reverie.
And awake, you can enjoy the harmony of his dream, her dream and our dreams.
Every now and then, there looms a familiar shape, which, though, is far from real enough to be the wake-up call.
Nevertheless, dreaming is a treasure, and putting a dream down in a painting is even more so.
The most fascinating period is from 2012 on. Mitkov highlights two particular dates in it: 21.12.2012, supposedly the end of the world, and 10.02.2013, the beginning of the Age of Aquarius and the Chinese New Year. According to the artist, that was the time when the mankind chose its future 2000-year cycle and the good prevailed. Always positive, always filled with a lot of energy, Mitkov turned his latest period into a life mission. It is not about just composing paintings but rather about creating and putting enormous love into canvases. The painter believes a painting can make a real difference in a man's life.

I looked into doing something like this on 50-node cluster to synchronize several hundred GB of semi-static data used in /scratch. I found that the time to build the torrent files--calculating checksums and such--was *far* more time consuming than the actual file distribution. This is on top of the rather severe IO hit on the "seed" box as well. I fought with it for a while, but came to the conclusion that *for _this_ data*, and how quickly it changed, torrents weren't the way to go--largely because of the cost of creating the torrent in the first place. However, I do think that similar systems could be very useful, if perhaps a bit less strict in their tests. The peer-to-peer model is uselful, and (in some cases) simple size/date check could be enough to determine when (re)copying a file. One thing torrent's don't handle are file deletions, which opens up a few new problems. Eventually, I moved to a distrbuted rsync tree, which worked for a while, but was slightly fragile. Eventually, we dropped the whole thing when we purchased a sufficiently fast storage system. -- Jesse Becker NHGRI Linux support (Digicon Contractor)

Starting Jan. 1, residents in Corte Madera, Larkspur and San Anselmo will begin seeing police officers wearing their new Central Marin Police Authority patches.
The Twin Cities Police Authority Police Council approved the agreement Friday that will transform the Twin Cities Police Authority into the Central Marin Police Authority, adding San Anselmo's police force to its ranks.
Twin Cities Police Lt. Mike Norton said his colleagues are excited about the change.
"The bigger the police authority, the more opportunities there are for specialized positions and promotions," Norton said. All of the participating agencies have approved the agreement, which will provide public safety service for a total population of 33,875 in the three communities. The authority will have an annual budget of about $9.6 million, which will include 58 full-time workers, including 45 sworn officers.
The Police Council voted unanimously Friday, with member and Larkspur Councilman Len Rifkind absent, in favor of the consolidated service plan.
Police Council Chair and Corte Madera Town Councilwoman Carla Condon said the shared services agreement is the first of its kind in the state. While other cities might contract for services, the new police authority is technically a joint powers authority — an agency governed by state law that is made up of smaller agencies that have joined together to address similar issues.
"We have really set an example to the entire state," Condon said. "Everything has been vetted through so carefully."
Larkspur City Manager Dan Schwarz said the details of the transition are in place, including the compensation and benefits issues associated with incorporating San Anselmo into the mix.
He said part of the agreement involves employees paying more into their pensions. New hires will also have a different retiring and medical program. He said the changes will still allow them to hire qualified cops.
"We can bring in entry level officers at a competitive rate," Schwarz said.
One of the new police authority's first tasks will involve crafting an updated contract for Twin Cities Police Chief Todd Cusimano, who will be chief of the new agency. The JPA agreement establishes a six-member police council that includes two council members from each community to decide such issues.
Condon said the consolidation has attracted attention from the League of California Cities — an advocacy group focused on common issues in cities throughout the state. She said the league is impressed, requesting the new police authority make a presentation at its next general assembly meeting in September.
Schwarz said residents in all three communities will still be able to dial the same phone numbers for police and dispatch services that they're used to. He said the new police authority doesn't anticipate adding any new numbers.
The new authority will operate out of the Twin Cities' Police Department office on Doherty Drive in Larkspur. The police station in downtown San Anselmo will remain open.

Phyllanthus emblica
|Phyllanthus emblica
|Scientific classification
|P. emblica
|Binomial name
| Phyllanthus emblica
Phyllanthus emblica, also known as emblic,[1][3] emblic myrobalan,[1] myrobalan,[3] Indian gooseberry,[1][3] Malacca tree,[3] or amla[3] from Sanskrit amalika is a deciduous tree of the family Phyllanthaceae. It is known for its edible fruit of the same name.
Plant morphology and harvesting
The tree is small to medium in size, reaching 1–8 m (3 ft 3 in–26 ft 3 in) in height. The branchlets aren't glabrous or finely pubescent, 10–20 cm (3.9–7.9 in) long, usually deciduous; the leaves are simple, subsessile and closely set along branchlets, light green, resembling pinnate leaves. The flowers are greenish-yellow. The fruit is nearly spherical, light greenish yellow, quite smooth and hard on appearance, with six vertical stripes or furrows.
Ripening in autumn, the berries are harvested by hand after climbing to upper branches bearing the fruits. The taste of Indian emblic is sour, bitter and astringent, and it is quite fibrous. In India, it is common to eat emblic steeped in salt water and red chilli powder to make the sour fruits palatable.
Cultural and religious significance
The tree is considered sacred by Hindus as God Vishnu is believed to dwell in it. The tree is worshiped on Amalaka Ekadashi.
In other Hindu beliefs, Amla is said to have originated from the drops of Amrit which spilled on earth accidentally, because of the fight of Gods and Demons after ksheera sagar manthan. And hence also this religious belief makes claims that it almost cures every disease and is also good in extending the longevity of life.
In the Sanskrit Buddhist tradition half an amalaka fruit was the final gift to the Buddhist sangha by the great Indian emperor Ashoka. This is illustrated in the Ashokavadana in the following verses:
"A great donor, the lord of men, the eminent Maurya Ashoka, has gone from being lord of Jambudvipa [the continent] to being lord of half a myrobalan." (Strong, 1983, p. 99)[4] This deed became so famous that a stupa was created to mark the place of the event in modern-day Patna and was known as the Amalaka stupa.
According to Hindu tradition, Adi Shankara of Kerala composed and recited the Kanakadhara stotram in praise of Mahalakshmi to make a poor Brahmin lady get wealth, in return for a single amla presented to him as bhiksha on an auspicious dwadashi day. Contemporary poet/philosopher Ravi Teja Yelamanchili wrote a book titled Amalaki. The book is based on Advaita Vedanta of Sri Adi Shankaracharya.
According to a Tamil legend, Avvaiyar (Tamil: ஔவையார்), a female poet, ethicist and political activist of the Sangam period was gifted with one amla by King Athiyaman to give her long life.
In Theravada Buddhism, this plant is said to have been used as the tree for achieving enlightenment, or Bodhi by twenty first Lord Buddha called "Pussa - ඵුස්ස".
Traditional uses
Traditional medicine
In traditional Indian medicine, dried and fresh fruits of the plant are used. All parts of the plant are used in various Ayurvedic/Unani medicine (Jawarish amla) herbal preparations, including the fruit, seed, leaves, root, bark and flowers.[5] According to Ayurveda, amla fruit is sour (amla) and astringent (kashaya) in taste (rasa), with sweet (madhura), bitter (tikta) and pungent (katu) secondary tastes (anurasas).[5] Its qualities (gunas) are light (laghu) and dry (ruksha), the postdigestive effect (vipaka) is sweet (madhura) and its energy (virya) is cooling (shita).[6]
According to Ayurveda, amla balances all three doshas. While amla is unusual in that it contains five out of the six tastes recognized by Ayurveda, it is most important to recognize the effects of the "virya", or potency, and "vipaka", or post-digestive effect. Considered in this light, amla is particularly helpful in reducing pitta because of its cooling energy.[5] It also balances both Pitta and vata by virtue of its sweet taste. The kapha is balanced primarily due to its drying action. It may be used as a rasayana (rejuvenative) to promote longevity, and traditionally to enhance digestion (dipanapachana), treat constipation (anuloma), reduce fever (jvaraghna), purify the blood (raktaprasadana), reduce cough (kasahara), alleviate asthma (svasahara), strengthen the heart (hrdaya), benefit the eyes (chakshushya), stimulate hair growth (romasanjana), enliven the body (jivaniya), and enhance intellect (medhya).[5][6]
In Ayurvedic polyherbal formulations, Indian gooseberry is a common constituent, and most notably is the primary ingredient in an ancient herbal rasayana called Chyawanprash.[7] This formula, which contains 43 herbal ingredients as well as clarified butter, sesame oil, sugar cane juice, and honey, was first mentioned in the Charaka Samhita as a premier rejuvenative compound.[8][9]
In Chinese traditional therapy, this fruit is called yuganzi (余甘子), which is used to treat throat inflammation.
Culinary use
Maharashtra is one of the largest producers and suppliers of Indian gooseberries. In this region the fruit is commonly pickled with salt, oil, and spices. The amla fruit is eaten raw or cooked into various dishes. In Andhra Pradesh, tender varieties are used to prepare dal (a lentil preparation), and amle ka murabbah, a sweet dish made by soaking the berries in sugar syrup until they are candied. It is traditionally consumed after meals.
In the Batak area of Sumatra, Indonesia, the inner bark is used to impart an astringent, bitter taste to the broth of a traditional fish soup known as holat.[10]
Other uses
Popularly used in inks, shampoos and hair oils, the high tannin content of Indian gooseberry fruit serves as a mordant for fixing dyes in fabrics.[5] Amla shampoos and hair oil are traditionally believed to nourish the hair and scalp and prevent premature grey hair.[11]
In Kerala, well beds are lined with Emblica timber (നെല്ലിപ്പലക) to get clean and sweet water for drinking and cooking.
Pharmacological research
In vitro (on cells)
Indian gooseberry has undergone preliminary research, demonstrating in vitro antiviral and antimicrobial properties.[12] There is preliminary evidence in vitro that its extracts induce apoptosis and modify gene expression in osteoclasts involved in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis.[13] It may prove to have potential activity against some cancers.[14]
In vivo (in animals)
One recent animal study found treatment with E. officinalis reduced severity of acute pancreatitis (induced by L-arginine in rats). It also promoted the spontaneous repair and regeneration process of the rat pancreas occurring after an acute attack.[15]
Experimental preparations of leaves, bark or fruit have shown potential efficacy against laboratory models of disease, such as for inflammation, cancer, age-related renal disease, and diabetes.[16][17][18]
Emblica officinalis tea may ameliorate diabetic neuropathy due to aldose reductase inhibition.[19][20][21]
In rats it significantly reduced blood glucose, food intake, water intake and urine output in diabetic rats compared with the non‐ diabetic control group.[22]
Another recent study with alloxan-induced diabetic rats given an aqueous amla fruit extract has shown significant decrease of the blood glucose, as well as triglyceridemic levels and an improvement of the liver function caused by a normalization of the liver-specific enzyme alanine transaminase activity.[23]
Clinical studies
A human pilot study demonstrated a reduction of blood cholesterol levels in both normal and hypercholesterolemic men with treatment.[24]
Chemical constituents
Although these fruits are reputed to contain high amounts of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), up to 445 mg per 100 g,[25] the specific contents are disputed, and the overall antioxidant strength of amla may derive instead from its high density of ellagitannins[7] such as emblicanin A (37%), emblicanin B (33%), punigluconin (12%) and pedunculagin (14%).[26] It also contains punicafolin and phyllanemblinin A, phyllanemblin other polyphenols: flavonoids, kaempferol, ellagic acid and gallic acid.[7][27]
