Of the various approaches to slow down the aging process, calorie restriction is considered the gold standard. As Life Extension surpasses its 35th year, the scientific community, the government, and even the news media are slowly recognizing that our concept of extending life is in fact technically feasible. This change in perception represents an enormous transformation in how humans view their role in the universe. Although none of the therapies in this section have been proven to slow aging, there is suggestive scientific evidence that they significantly suppress damaging free radical and inflammatory reactions that are linked to underlying aging processes.
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is an adrenal hormone that is the precursor for steroid hormones such as testosterone and estrogen. DHEA declines precipitously with advancing age in both men and women. In 1981, Life Extension introduced DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) to its customers through an article that described the multiple benefits that this hormone might produce. However, the general public did not learn about DHEA supplements until 1996, when the benefits of DHEA were touted by the news media and in several popular books. DHEA became credible to the medical establishment when the New York Academy of Sciences published a book entitled DHEA and Aging. This book provided scientific validation for the many life extending effects of DHEA.
The hormonal stimulus for sex drive in both men and women is testosterone, which declines with advancing age in both sexes. Testosterone also plays an important role in maintaining muscle mass and strength and bone density. The hormone is often administered to aging men and women as a topical cream, but oral testosterone supplements and injectable forms are also available.
Estrogen and Progesterone
The "female" steroid hormones estrogen and progesterone play important roles in maintaining bone density and strength, sexual function, mental function and, in women, in countering the effects of the menopause. Recent studies indicate that estrogen may be an effective treatment for age-associated memory problems.* Both estrogen and progesterone are available in a variety of forms -- natural or synthetic, oral or topical. There is considerable interest in the use of plant-derived phytoestrogens, which have weak (but safe) estrogenic activity as a possible replacement for drug forms of estrogen. One product, Natural Estrogen, has been specially designed for this purpose.
Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland, which is located beneath the brain. Melatonin is a highly potent antioxidant, which has been described as the pacemaker of the aging clock in humans. It is released every night as part of our time-dependent biorhythms to help induce sleep and recuperation from fatigue. Published studies indicate the importance of maintaining youthful levels of melatonin to help protect against age-related degenerative diseases.
Pregnenolone is known as the "mother hormone" because it is the precursor of a number of hormones including DHEA, testosterone and estrogen. Studies have demonstrated that the neurosteroid Pregnenolone has a stimulatory effect on memory.
B Complex Vitamins
Folic Acid, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12
Cardiovascular disease, the number-one killer of men and women, claims the lives of almost 40% of the more than 2.4 million Americans who die each year. Today, about 64 million Americans have some form of cardiovascular disease. Homocysteine a nonessential, sulfur-containing amino acid, is an independent marker of risk for the development of cardiovascular disease. Back in 1981, we first recommended that customers reduce homocysteine levels by taking folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12. Some researchers consider homocysteine as important a cardiovascular risk factor as low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Homocysteine can make blood clot more easily than normal, increasing the risk of both heart attack and death by heart attack. Inadequate levels of folic acid and vitamins B6 and B12 can lead to increased homocysteine levels.
Anti-Aging Supplements
Coenzyme Q10
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an essential component of healthy mitochondrial function. It is incorporated into cells' mitochondria throughout the body where it facilitates and regulates the oxidation of fats and sugars into energy. Aging humans have been found to have over 50% less CoQ10 on average compared to that of young adults. This finding makes CoQ10 one of the most important nutrients for people over 30 to supplement with. About 95% of cellular energy is produced in the mitochondria. The mitochondria are the cells "energy powerhouses" and many maladies have been referred to as "mitochondrial disorders." A growing body of scientific research links a deficiency of CoQ10 to age-related mitochondrial disorders.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine Arginate
The amino acid acetyl-L-carnitine boosts mitochondrial energy production through its ability to facilitate fatty acid transport and oxidation in the cell. Since 1995, Life Extension customers have been supplementing with acetyl-L-carnitine and deriving the many benefits this form of carnitine has shown in published studies. With the discovery of acetyl-L-carnitine arginate the benefits of acetyl-L-carnitine can now be greatly augmented. Acetyl-L-Carnitine Arginate is a patented form of carnitine that stimulates the growth of neurites in the brain. Studies show that acetyl-l-carnitine-arginate stimulates the growth of new neurites by an astounding 19.5% (as much as Nerve Growth Factor itself). Acetyl-l-carnitine-arginate acts together with acetyl-l-carnitine to increase neurite outgrowth.
The most common cause of disability and death in the United States is an abnormal clot that develops inside an artery to cause a heart attack (blocked blood vessel in the heart), or a stroke (blocked blood vessel in the brain). Aspirin has an immediate and lasting effect on blood platelets, making them less likely to clump together and making blood flow smoothly.
Carnosine is a multifunctional dipeptide made up of a chemical combination of the amino acids beta-alanine and L-histidine. It is found both in food and in the human body. Long-lived cells such as nerve cells (neurons) and muscle cells (myocytes) contain high levels of carnosine. Muscle levels of carnosine correlate with the maximum life spans of animals. Carnosine levels decline with age. Muscle levels decline 63% from age 10 to age 70, which may account for the normal age-related decline in muscle mass and function. Since carnosine acts as a pH buffer, it can keep on protecting muscle cell membranes from oxidation under the acidic conditions of muscular exertion. Carnosine enables the heart muscle to contract more efficiently through enhancement of calcium response in heart myocytes. Aging causes irreversible damage to the body's proteins. The underlying mechanism behind this damage is glycation. A simple definition of glycation is the cross-linking of proteins and sugars to form non-functioning structures in the body. The process of glycation can be superficially seen as unsightly wrinkled skin. Glycation is also an underlying cause of age-related catastrophes including the neurologic, vascular, and eye disorders. Carnosine is a unique dipeptide that interferes with the glycation process.
Fish Oil
Studies on omega-3 fatty acids are so impressive that an agency of the National Institutes of Health published a report stating that fish oil can help reduce deaths from heart disease. The FDA itself states supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may actually reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. There are several mechanisms attributed to fish oil's beneficial effects. The latest government report cites the triglyceride-lowering effects of fish oil on reducing heart and blood vessel disorders. Another beneficial mechanism of fish oil is to protect healthy blood flow in arteries.
Green Tea Extract
What makes green tea extract such an important nutrient are the large volumes of published scientific findings that validate its multiple biological benefits. The most significant findings involve studies showing that green tea extract helps maintain cellular DNA and membrane structural integrity. Decades of research shows that green tea inhibits the development of undesirable cell colonies. The active constituents in green tea are powerful antioxidants called polyphenols (catechins) and flavonols. Several catechins are present in green tea and account for the bulk of favorable research reports. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the most powerful of these catechins. EGCG functions as an antioxidant that is about 25-100 times more potent than vitamins C and E. One cup of green tea may provide 10-40 mg of polyphenols and has antioxidant effects that are greater than a serving of broccoli, spinach, carrots, or strawberries. Theoretically, the high antioxidant activity of green tea makes it beneficial for protecting the body from oxidative damage due to free radicals.
Lipoic Acid
Lipoic Acid is a highly potent antioxidant that counteracts reactive free radicals in the mitochondria, the power plants of cells where energy for all cellular activities is generated. Some scientists believe that mitochondrial free radicals play an important role in human aging, and have theorized that extra amounts of free-radical inhibiting compounds such as lipoic acid may be able to help slow aging. Lipoic acid is also effective in recycling other antioxidants such as Vitamin E back into their original form after they detoxify free radicals. There also is evidence that lipoic acid can reduce glycation damage due to excess glucose in the blood, which may be involved in aging. Lipoic acid consists of two different forms (isomers) that have vastly different properties. The "R" form is the biologically active component (native to the body) that is responsible for lipoic acid's phenomenal antioxidant effect.
L-Alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine (GPC)
L-alpha glycerylphosphoryl-choline (GPC) is a byproduct of phosphatidylcholine and helps to boost acetylcholine. It aids in the synthesis of several brain phospholipids, which increases the availability of acetylcholine in various brain tissues. The GPC form of choline has been shown in studies to help protect against cognitive decline normally seen in aging.
Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ)
Until recently, the only options for aging individuals to promote replenishment of the declining numbers of mitochondria (the cell's "energy powerhouses") in their bodies were long-term calorie restriction or exhaustive physical activity—difficult or impractical for most aging people. Now there is a viable alternative. PQQ activates genes that promote the formation of new mitochondria. It also beneficially interacts with genes directly involved in mitochondrial health. These same genes support healthy body weight, normal fat and sugar metabolism, and youthful cellular proliferation.
Findings from published scientific literature indicate that resveratrol may be the most effective compound for maintaining optimal health and promoting longevity. Resveratrol is a phytoalexin, a polyphenolic compound which is produced by Vitis vinifera as a response to attack by molds. Research funded by Life Extension showed that a combination of low-dose (20 mg) resveratrol plus grapeseed extract mimicked many of the favorable gene expression changes seen in calorie-restricted animals. Other studies, however, indicate that higher doses may be needed to obtain all of resveratrol's positive benefits including promoting healthy insulin sensitivity, enhanced mitochondrial function, reduced expression of inflammatory factors, and protection against the effects of a high-fat diet.
Whey Protein
Many people think of whey protein as a supplement only used by athletes wanting to increase their muscle mass. But evolving research suggests the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine, and valine and other fractions found in whey can mimic the longevity benefits of calorie restriction. Whey protein can also have a positive impact on muscle construction and immunity due to its BCAA profile and naturally occurring lactoferrin and immunoglobins.
Calorie Restriction
Since the 1930s it has been known that a diet restricted in calories, but otherwise rich in nutrients, dramatically extends the life span of experimental animals. Over two thousand studies have confirmed the effectiveness of calorie restriction (or "undernutrition without malnutrition," as gerontologist Roy Walford, MD called it) in a wide variety of species. While the effectiveness of this antiaging regimen is likely far greater than others currently available, the difficulty of the regimen for most people is also far greater. Serious life-extensionists should nevertheless consider trying at least a mild version of the diet.

The Tim Tebow effect aside, it's a weekend made for pro football fans and their Barcaloungers with two NFL playoff games each on Saturday and Sunday.
We kick things off late Saturday afternoon with the New Orleans Saints in San Francisco to take on the 49ers (4:30 p.m. ET on Fox). Rookie head coach and former NFL quarterback Jim Harbaugh has the 'Niners back where they used to be every year in the 1980s and 90s - in the playoffs.
But instead of just offensive firepower, San Francisco has played stout defense in winning the NFC West, allowing just over 14 points per game. The defense is led by linebackers Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman. It features linemen Justin Smith and Aldon Smith, who have combined for 21.5 sacks this season.
San Francisco has a home field advantage, and they may need it. Quarterback Drew Brees has the New Orleans offense humming. The Saints are the top-rated offense in the NFL, averaging just over 34 points and 467 yards per game. New Orleans is arguably the poster child for today's NFL formula that "offenses win championships."
Brees has a variety of targets to throw to, including tight end Jimmy Graham and wide receiver Marques Colston, each of whom gained over 1,000 yards receiving in 2011.
Saturday night, the New England Patriots host Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos (8 p.m. ET on CBS). Once all the pre-game 'Tebowing' subsides, Tom Brady and his high-powered offense, ranked No. 2 in the NFL, will take to the Gillette Stadium turf.
This is an offense that scored 41 points on the Broncos defense when the two teams met last month in Denver and averaged 32 points per game over the course of the season.
In 2011, Brady enjoyed perhaps his finest season as a pro since his MVP year of 2007, throwing for more than 5,000 yards and 39 touchdowns. However, the Patriots have needed an MVP-type year from their quarterback, as defense - measured by the yards given up per game ranks statistically next to last in the league.
That gives Tebow and the Denver offense a chance to send the Patriots to their fourth consecutive playoff defeat, dating back to the 2008 Super Bowl. Led by running back Willis McGahee, the Broncos can control the ball with an NFL-leading rushing attack.
Sunday afternoon in Baltimore, the Texans play their second-ever playoff game against the Ravens (1 p.m. ET on CBS). Ever since this century began, Baltimore has been known for its defense. And this season is no exception, as the Ravens are ranked third in total defense in the NFL. Linebacker Ray Lewis is the veteran leader of the group, ably supported by Terrell Suggs and safety Ed Reed.
However, the Texans have improved steadily, so much so that they are the second-ranked defense in the NFL, just behind the Steelers in the regular season.
Houston started the year with Matt Schaub at quarterback, but lost both him and backup Matt Leinart to injury. Third-stringer T.J. Yates, a rookie out of North Carolina, gets the start with former Carolina Panther quarterback Jake Delhomme backing him up. Pro Bowl wide receiver Andre Johnson and running back Arian Foster are the main weapons at Yates's disposal.
These two teams met back on Oct. 16, with the Ravens winning, 29-14.
The weekend wraps up late Sunday afternoon when the New York Giants take on the Packers in Green Bay (4:30 p.m. ET on Fox). This could be a shootout, as the Packers average 35 points per game on offense while New York's passing attack could feast on the Green Bay defense, statistically the worst in the league, as measured by yards allowed.
Back on Dec. 4, the Packers edged the Giants, 38-35.
Like Brady, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has enjoyed an MVP-like campaign, throwing for more than 4,600 yards and 45 touchdowns. His receiving corps includes seven players with at least 20 catches this season and has been featured on the cover of 'Sports Illustrated.'
Eli Manning of the Giants had perhaps his best season, statistically, in 2011, throwing for nearly 5,000 yards and 29 touchdowns. His two primary targets were Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks, both of whom exceeded 1,000 yards in receiving this season.
All in all, it should be another great NFL playoff weekend. Just make sure you get out of the Barcalounger and stretch some during the games.

Another pre-publication review:
With depressing persuasiveness, the author argues that we haven't achieved racial integration, because, well, we don't really want to. He looks at several social institutions—schools, real estate, advertising, churches—and finds just one faint glimmer of hope in a Catholic parish in Louisiana, a place where the separate black and white congregations, after decades of debate and nastiness, eventually merged.
There is a personal dimension to most of the narrative. Colby visited the Alabama public school he attended as a child, and he looks closely at the case of Kansas City and its struggles to integrate some neighborhoods. A former copywriter, he examines Madison Avenue's glacial acceptance of blacks into the world of advertising, a process that's been both slow and icy. He also explores the irony of profoundly segregated Christian churches. School integration, he writes, came at enormous economic and psychological cost—and even in schools where both whites and blacks attend in large numbers, they tend to stay separate. Rapacious and amoral real-estate agents and complicit civic officials engaged for years in the gross practices of "red-lining" and "block-busting." Madison Avenue was clueless about how to sell to black markets and hired black personnel only under enormous pressure—and didn't know what to do with their new employees, many of whom left, some to establish all-black agencies. Intransigence and even violence have characterized attempts to blend church congregations; beneath it all flows a deep, turbulent river of white entitlement.
Occasionally thick with statistics and explication, but the author's personal voice is compelling and his thesis is most disturbing. Recommended reading for anyone who still thinks we live in a post-racial America.

NCL: Free Tours For Kids 2012by Paul Motter | 04.16.12
NCL is offering free tours on any cruise to kids 12-under, 50% off for 13-17.
Norwegian Cruise Line has just announced a new incentive for booking a family cruise with the line - free tours for every child 12 years of age or younger on any cruise sailing in 2012 - for any cruise of any length to any destination on any itinerary. Kids aged 13 to 17 get all tours for 50% off the regular adult price.
The only stipulation is that the tours must be booked pre-cruise through the cruise line web site, but this should not be a problem since this has always been an option with NCL. All kids booking these special tours, whether teens or younger, must be accompanied by an adult guardian.
I guess it comes as no surprise that helicopter and fixed wing flight-seeing tours, golf, Orlando theme parks and Atlantis in the Bahamas are excluded from this promotion. I just took the Atlantis tour from Norwegian Epic and it was $189, and worth every penny. These Orlando and Atlantis tours are tailor made for kids and it just wouldn't make sense to give them away - no one would go to Disneyworld if NCL was giving the tickets away.
To Comment on this article go here: NCL: Free Tours For Kids 2012
This offer is good for all cruises sailing in 2012 - anyplace in the world including Europe and Alaska, but the cruises and the shore tours must be booked by May 13, 2012.
What a great way this would be to take your kids to see Europe. Some of the tours there are priced at well over $200. To be able to take your two kids to Rome, Florence and Pisa, or the Pyramids at Giza, at no added cost would be a boon to any family. In Alaska the flight-seeing tour over the Mendenhall Glacier would be excluded, but you could still do whale watching, sea-life and other great Alaska tours.
All together, it is not unusual to spend as much as $400 to $500 person on tours when sailing to more exotic destinations like Europe, and having kids along always makes the cost of a cruise go higher, especially the tours, so I would not underestimate the value of this offer.
Shore excursion must be pre-booked with all participants prior to departure through Norwegian's website at www.ncl.com or through the line's call centers. The applicable promotion code KIDSHORX will be automatically added to the reservation if booked within the booking window.
Shore excursion reservations are accepted on a first come, first served basis and are subject to availability. Cancellation fees for cruise, air, land and other charges will follow Norwegian's schedule listed in the brochure and website, which includes different schedules for Suites and Villas.
Offers are based on availability, are capacity controlled, and combining with other offers is subject to change or cancellation at any time per Norwegian Cruise Line's discretion.

Every season, the NFL's old-school rules prevent incoming rookies from participating in organized team activities and offseason workouts until their class graduates from college.
This year, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports that the the highest picks affected by the rule include Miami Dolphins defensive end Dion Jordan, Chicago Bears offensive guard Kyle Long, Atlanta Falcons cornerback Desmond Trufant and Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz.
Another first-rounder who would have missed OTAs is Green Bay Packers defensive end Datone Jones, but he already graduated from UCLA. So he's in the clear.
It's worth remembering that Andrew Luck was delayed by the rule last year. It didn't seem to hurt him too much.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

Greece To Get Billons in Long-Awaited Payments
Euro-zone finance ministers on Thursday backed the release of long-delayed aid payments to Greece, saying the first batch of money will be sent to Athens in the coming days. WSJ's Charles Forelle reports on the News Hub. Photo: REUTERS.

Seib & Wessel: The Immigration Mystery
WSJ's Sara Murray says the dynamics in the House remain the big question mark on the immigration bill – as there is currently little incentive for lawmakers to throw their support behind an overhaul until the Senate acts.

A man police described as a "person of interest" in the killing of Colorado prisons chief Tom Clements has been captured, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office confirmed.
Police had been searching since last week for Thomas James Guolee, 31. They say he had been in contact with Evan Ebel in the days before Ebel is suspected of killing Clements on March 19 at his Monument home. Both men are members of the white-supremacist prison-gang 211 Crew, which has been a focus of the investigation.
Guolee was arrested by Colorado Springs police at 5:30 p.m. He was wanted on outstanding felony warrants unrelated to the Clements killing.
The sheriff's department offered no other details about the arrest.
Police have not said what role, if any, Guolee played in the case except to say that he is an associate of Ebel, 28, who is also the suspect in the fatal shooting of Denver pizza-delivery driver Nathan Leon. Texas sheriff's deputies killed Ebel during a March 21 shootout. A gun found with his body was used to kill Clements.
Colorado Springs police captured another Ebel associate, James Franklin Lohr, 47, on April 5. He was arrested on outstanding warrants but has not been charged in connection to the Clements case.
Guolee's mother, who had urged him to surrender, said she was relieved by the news of his arrest.
"My heart was just breaking because I thought I'd be getting a call that he was dead," Deborah Eck said.

It may not be the best, but the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is really close.
America's first boardwalk is also its best.
That's the word from National Geographic, which has named Atlantic City's boardwalk the best in the nation.
Another New Jersey boardwalk, in Wildwood, took 10th place.
National Geographic calls Atlantic City "the grandfather of boardwalks," adding that it anchors the seaside gambling resort.
New York's Coney Island came in second, followed by Myrtle Beach, S.C.; Ocean City, Md.; Venice Beach, Calif.; Rehoboth Beach, Del.; Santa Cruz; the Sandwich boardwalk in Massachusetts; Virginia Beach, and Wildwood.
Atlantic City's boardwalk was built in 1870 as a way to keep beachgoers from tracking sand into oceanfront hotels.

Mauer squashes no-hitter in ninth for third time
DETROIT -- It's a situation Joe Mauer would rather not be in.
After all, who wants to be on the wrong side of a no-hitter?View Full Game Coverage
DETROIT -- It's a situation Joe Mauer would rather not be in.
After all, who wants to be on the wrong side of a no-hitter?View Full Game Coverage
But after Mauer came through with a one-out single up the middle to break up Tigers right-hander Anibal Sanchez's no-hit bid with one out in the ninth on Friday night, it marked the third time in his career he'd broken up a no-no in the ninth.
Mauer also did it in on May 6, 2008, against the White Sox when he ended Gavin Floyd's no-hitter with two outs in the ninth, and did it again in on Aug. 23, 2010 against Rangers reliever Neftali Feliz with a one-out single in the final inning.
"Every time I go up there, I try to get a hit or get on base or do something positive on the offensive side," Mauer said of his propensity to break up no-hitters late in the game. "I think everybody is aware of it. You just try to go up there and have a good at-bat and put a good swing on it."
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said he isn't surprised Mauer has been able to break up potential no-hitters late in games simply because of Mauer's natural hitting ability. The catcher is the leader among active players with a .324 career average in more than 1,100 games.
"He's just a great hitter," Gardenhire said. "I'm sure on their side, he was the one guy they didn't want to come up in the ninth inning."
Gardenhire was right, as Tigers manager Jim Leyland echoed that sentiment that they'd rather be facing just about anyone else than Mauer in that situation.
"He's one of the best in baseball," Leyland said. "There's no question about that. He's a great hitter. It's certainly no disgrace to give up a hit to a guy like that, particularly that late in the game when you're getting a little tired and your pitch count's getting up a little more than it normally would be."
Sanchez, who was still able to throw a one-hit shutout with 12 strikeouts, simply tipped his cap to the former American League MVP and three-time batting champ for his hit on a 1-1 curveball.
"It's really hard to face that guy four times or five times in one game and dominate," Sanchez said. "This guy, he's so smart. I tried to make my best pitch. I strike him out with off-speed. I tried to throw early. I didn't want to get in the count and throw it again. But in the end, he got the hit. But I feel good. I'll take my nine innings."

How to Buy 'Authentic' Amish-Made Wood Cabinets
The quality and craftsmanship of the Amish worker is well known, especially by many local homeowners in the Ohio Valley who share the area as neighbors. The locals are their best customers.
Despite the fact that the Amish do not advertise or promote themselves or their products they enjoy a steady stream of business. The demand for fine quality furniture, cabinetry, doors and traditional crafts is becoming increasingly popular, especially in a day and age when machines are taking jobs where human hands came before.
Anything Amish can be just a Label
Today, many consumers will get into their cars and go out of their way to purchase Amish-made products. The usual stop is found somewhere along a road, sometimes a dusty rocky lane where one can hear the clippity-clop of horse-drawn carriages and watch as these omni-present vehicles draped entirely in black whisk the Amish passengers about. There one will usually find in or near the heart of the village a country a store with a sign "Amish Goods".
At first sniff when steeping out of the car and taking a deep breath of farm-fresh air it can feel like you are at the right place, an inducement of sorts to walk on in and stock up on Amish-made goods. But as many people who came before and learned of this experience it may not necessarily be an authentic destination for 'anything Amish', even in light of the fact the shopkeeper may be a soft-spoken, bespectacled kind man with a white beard and a straw hat.
Getting the Goods to the Market is a Challenge
The mode of transportation for the Amish is a horse-drawn buggy. The buggy is not designed to transport trailer loads of products. Since they also do not employ Conestoga wagons of the sort that hauled their ancestors and everything they owned from points east to these fertile hills and valleys, plus the fact they don't opt-in to the automobile let alone the electric grid.
When it comes to delivering their handmade goods to the marketplace they are at a disadvantage. The apparent dilemma is such that on the one hand they rely on one another for commerce, but more importantly they depend on the non-Amish customer, the 'Yankee', a term they use when referring to the outsiders. When it comes to the sale of their cabinets, doors and other merchandise the Yankees are the bread and butter of their enterprise.
Think and Look for Small
The typical Amish woodworking craftsman may specialize in one or two specific products -be it doors, windows, cabinets, furniture or arts and crafts. A small shop behind his house might consist of father and son or a couple of brothers who earn enough income to take care of their families, the community and the church. Their chief method of obtaining a sale is when a customer happens to stroll in the door, as long as it is not on Sunday mind you.
High Volume is not the Amish Way.
The individual craftsman and his shop are not large volume producers of wood products, it is not "their way" so to speak. Their primary goal is to produce and sell their wares in amounts sufficient enough to maintain a modest lifestyle, not necessarily to grow the business into a massive Sears catalog. Yet, any visitor to the area can usually find some retail stores that carry this locally made merchandise. The challenge for the retailer is to keep up with the demand and the small 2-man shop is not equipped to produce and deliver the merchandise fast enough.
On the other hand what is more commonly found in the retail stores is furniture and cabinets that come from large modern manufacturing facilities that may be located in or near an Amish community. The factories may employ scores of Amish workers from the nearby village and supply them with jobs -not to craft products by hand but but to push buttons, control levers and flick switches on modern CNC (computer numerical control) machinery. The Amish factory workers have a hand in the production of merchandise, but are not necessarily employed for the ability to hand-make anything. Nevertheless the finished factory product can be a fine piece of merchandise and usually is, the quality of which is limited only to the extent of the capabilities of the machines or lack thereof. The machine in a factory in the Amish village can spit out product in relatively the same manner whether it is found in an Amish community, Portland Oregon or based in China. Since there are no requirements that any Amish product be 'authenticated' in any manner it is only with asking the direct question to the shopkeeper for example, as to how the product was manufactured in the first place.
How to Find 'Authentic' Amish Products
It is one thing to finally find authentic Amish-made products as just about every Amishman makes something with his or her hands. It is another thing entirely to find a specific quality of goods as there are no rating agencies or a Better Business Bureau or Angie's List (thank you) of which one can turn for assistance.
Just as the students of Picasso will not all become world class painters, the same holds true in the Amish community. Not all Amish craftsman are cut from the same mold and the level of quality can vary widely. If it were violins, for example that one sought to purchase from an Amish shop it is not enough to automatically assume that all violins found in an Amish shop are 'Stradivarius-like', more likely one will find the violin to be satisfactory for the string section of high school orchestra. However, that is not to say the exceptional product is not there, quite the contrary.
Exquisite Quality is Out There, Now go and Find it
The primary means that most Yankees acquire quality Amish merchandise is about as old-fashioned as the workshop itself -word of mouth. Word of mouth advertising in the Amish community is unlike anything that can be offered up in the high speed digital world of google and the internet. The Amish manage to sell millions of pieces year in and year out and not once rely on the internet, for the Amish do not build websites! Because of this anyone looking for 'authentic' Amish products must be wary of that which is found online (present company excepted of course.)
Today, one can find online all sorts of 'Amish' offerings but again the authenticity remains a question. Should it matter? The answer to that is really up to the consumer. The writer of this piece has had business dealings within the Amish community for over 25 years. Within the community one can find some of the finest craftsman skilled enough to carve meticulous Swiss watches out of wood. Then again there are some Amish who simply are better at farming than crafting, yet in lean times may hang up the yoke and take up a tool box to make ends meet.To find great quality shops is as much about research as it is for the archaeologist to unearth an ancient artifact- albeit a much easier task than unearthing a Ming Dynasty vase, yet as equally rewarding to the discoverer.
For anyone who has had the opportunity to acquire fine quality hand-crafted cabinetry or furniture from an Amish shop can appreciate a good find while at the same time simply smile to oneself that good fortune practically lives down the street or next door.

Sarah Palin is busily trying to sell "conservative feminism" to the masses, but her idea of feminism certainly doesn't include reproductive choice or sexual freedom. Meanwhile, even the Pope has decided that it's better for sex workers to use condoms than to risk getting HIV or other sexually transmitted infections. So why does the new Congress include more new members opposed to women's right to control their bodies?
Katha Pollitt, Nation columnist and longtime prochoice activist, joins Grit TV's Laura Flanders in studio for a conversation about the latest on reproductive and sexual justice, Palinism and more.

BREAKING NEWS: Shearer to expel Cunliffe? UPDATE:
It doesn't look like Cunliffe is about to be punished and demoted over the media's beat up of his supposed leadership challenge at the conference (note Cunliffe has pledged his support) - the rumors are flying that Shearer is going to expel Cunliffe from Caucus.
The anger the leadership felt about being forced to be more democratic is going to be used to crucify Cunliffe and throw him out of the Party. Labour may with this move just convince all those left wing voters to fill in Green Party membership cards.
If only Shearer could put this kind of energy into defeating Key.
The ramifications of this move to expel Cunliffe will reverberate until 2014.
The difference between a Japanese nuclear reactor and the Labour Party is that Japanese reactors know when to stop melting down.
UPDATE: That nasty little piece of work, Chris Hipkins has come out defaming Cunliffe with slurs that he's been disloyal to two leaders. I say nasty little piece of work because Hipkins fought hard to deny members and unions a democratic voice in the party, and he made that debate far more bitter than it needed to be.
The constant attack on Cunliffe by the Labour leadership is the ugly thing now. They are trying to expel Cunliffe rather than fight Key.
This is revenge for being forced to become more democratic. It's hideous to watch. Cooler heads in the Party need to reign the caucus in now, this is bordering on feral and crazed.
As for this ominous threat that Cunliffe supporters will also be punished - isn't that a bit North Korean for the NZ Labour Party?

Singer Keri Hilson has criticized the heavy-handed treatment of a fan who jumped on stage during her show in Paris, France insisting she "didn't appreciate" how he was "handled."
The unnamed man caused chaos when he climbed onto the stage at Hilson's concert in the French capital earlier this month and was punched and dragged away by bodyguards as he attempted to kiss the star.
Hilson was embroiled in the scuffle as the security guards pulled the man away and she has spoken out against his treatment.
In a series of posts on Twitter, she writes, "To the guy who ran on stage & stole a kiss, I love you too. Didn't appreciate how u (you) were handled. But next time, enjoy from the audience… I just learned that dude jumped from the 2nd story (sic) balcony for the task… OK, so maybe he was a lil (little) crazy! Just jokes. I love my fans…"
She later added, "I hear it looks like I got hit during the fan incident? Oh please. Not a scratch. But I felt kinda bad for dude…"

Buddy Miller - Does my ring burn your finger lyrics
Does my ring burn your finger by Buddy Miller
When I gave you my heart
It was not what you wanted
Now the walls say your name
And the pictures are haunted
Does my ring burn your finger
Did my love weigh you down?
Was the promise too much to keep around?
I remember your words and I can't keep from cryin
I could never believe that your kisses were lyin
Was there somethin from the past
Buried in a shallow grave?
Did you think that it was too far gone to save?
Please tell me baby
Please tell me now
You say that I should just go on
Now please tell me how
Now it's just me and the night and I'm so broken hearted
I just wait in the dark here for my dearly departed
Did my ring burn your finger?
Did my love weigh you down?
Was the promise too much to keep around?

Fools on the Hill
We used to have a ship of state, and now we have a ship of fools.
To call what happened on Capitol Hill over the past few days Kabuki is to insult Kabuki. What actually happened was more like ancient farce when actors used to come out and hit each other over the head with socks full of cowpies.
Story Continued Below
Contrary to what you have heard, we did not face up to a financial or economic or budgetary crisis. All Congress and the White House did was slog through another political crisis.
And the way they did it was comical: a 2 a.m. vote in the Senate followed by an 11 p.m. vote in the House. This is drive-by government.
That the White House was going to win was never in doubt. Barack Obama won reelection in November by nearly 5 million votes. According to CBS News, his approval rating is at 57 percent.
The members of Congress, on the other hand, are close to being put in stocks and pelted with vegetables. According to CBS, congressional job approval is at 11 percent. Any lower than that and Congress might as well move to Canada and try there.
One of the reasons our politicians are held in such low regard is that what they do is so divorced from reality.
What was the No. 1 issue of the last election? What did both sides promise the American people? As I recall, it was jobs, jobs and more jobs. But what did the recent fiscal cliff law do about creating more jobs? Nothing.
Some politicians like nothing. Nothing is why they went to Washington. They want to shrink government, in the famous words of Grover Norquist, "down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub."
Why? Because as Mitt Romney said in the campaign, 47 percent of voters "believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it."
(If you haven't heard much from Romney since the election, it's probably because he has been down in the Cayman Islands visiting his money.)
In this view, the government spends far too much on "entitlements" like Medicare. Medicare costs are strangling America, we hear, and according to the Congressional Budget Office, spending for Medicare in 2012 was a very hefty $555 billion.
But Medicare recipients are not exactly rolling in dough. In 2006, the last study my ace research team (Wikipedia) could find, the "average household income of Medicare enrollees was $22,600 compared with a U.S. median income of $48,201."
Yet these people are viewed as greed-heads sucking up precious dollars that could be better spent on … defense contractors!

Subscribe To The SAG Awards: Snubs, Surprises And Snoozes Updates
I've already subscribed
Kicking award season into gear, the Screen Actors Guild unveiled their nominations for their award ceremony this morning, spurring lots of talk about what the Oscar line-up might look like, as the two tend to have lots of crossover. Looking over the list, I was a bit disappointed at how predictable it was overall. I mean, some of these films we figured as contenders as soon as they were cast.
The strongest example of this is in the category for Outstanding Ensemble, which nominated 12 Years A Slave, American Hustle, August: Osage County, Dallas Buyers Club and Lee Daniels' The Butler. All five are positively stacked with already acclaimed stars. Then a couple feed into the major physical transformation trend that so often earns awards.
Dallas Buyers Club had Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto shed a ghastly amount of weight to play AIDS patients, while American Hustle had Christian Bale switch-up his Batman burliness for a comb-over and an impressive potbelly. Now I am by no means saying these casts aren't incredible. They are. But it seems the deck was already stacked in their favor with big names alone. I mean really, how was a movie with Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts not going to get a nomination? Personally, I was pulling for the indie wonder The Spectacular Now's cast, but apparently historical drama is too damn enthralling this year.
There are few surprises in the other major film categories. This is partially because of SAG's love of their stars, and partially because some performances this year are just clear standouts. Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmine), Sandra Bullock (Gravity), Tom Hanks Captain Phillips), Chiwetel Ejiofor and Lupita Nyong'o (12 Years a Slave), and Bruce Dern and June Squibb (Nebraska) seemed dead locks on nominations as each and every one drew wild praise upon their film's release. Meryl is practically engraved on every nominee ballot at this point, because she is Meryl fucking Streep! And the late James Gandolfini seemed guaranteed a spot in honor of his career's work if nothing else. Thankfully, he got this nom for a role he absolutely deserves it for, as he is entirely wonderful, vulnerable and heartbreaking in Enough Said.
But despite all the predictable picks, there are some surprises. Jennifer Lawrence is the only star from American Hustle to get a solo nomination, and many are already calling Amy Adams' exclusion here a snub. Barkhad Abdi for Captain Phillips is a welcomed surprise as he did as much of that drama's heavy lifting as Hanks' did. And it's downright shocking that Julia Roberts' role in August: Osage County is being dubbed "supporting" instead of "leading." But that's award season strategy for you.
The other surprises are more flat out snubs. Despite early buzz, Martin Scorsese's upcoming The Wolf of Wall Street got nothing, leaving Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill out in the cold. Will Forte, despite much praise for his dramatic turn in Nebraska, got nothing. But the most resounding snub is Robert Redford for All Is Lost, especially considering Sandra Bullock got a nomination for a pretty similar role. In case you're one of the many people who hasn't seen J.C. Chandor's shipwreck drama, allow me to explain that it relies almost completely on Robert's nearly wordless performance for its entire 106 minute runningtime. While I personally thought it was a failed experiment, I'll admit I thought Redford's efforts here locked him in for a SAG nom at the least. But it's possible that the outcry over this snub could help Redford get more notice come Oscar nomination time.

Has Robert Pattinson Decided to Take Kristen Stewart Back?
Twihards, maybe you can finally snuff out those funeral pyres. Seems Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are speaking again, which has set the tabloidsphere (it's a word because we say it is) ablaze with chatter that the two could be getting back together.
The couple split in messy fashion earlier this summer after Stewart was caught sucking face with her married 'Snow White and the Huntsman' director. But now both EOnline and PEOPLE are reporting that maybe they're trying to sort things out.
Stewart and Pattinson apparently had a sit-down in Los Angeles last weekend. A PEOPLE insider says that while Pattinson was "heartbroken" over the indiscretion, the source "thinks they'll be a couple again."
Meanwhile, EOnline's tattletales say "they are definitely talking" and have met up at "two different locations."
No word from either star's camp on whether this means an actual reconciliation is in the works, but Summit Entertainment, the studio behind the endless string of 'Twilight' films, is probably thrilled either way. All this buzz is great press for the final installment of the saga, which hits theaters in November.
As for us, we're thinking maybe Pattinson just missed his ex's armpits.

Jewels stolen during film festival
Thieves allegedly broke into the hotel room of a Chopard employee.
CANNES, France -- Thieves broke into the room of a House of Chopard employee at the Novotel hotel and stole jewels that were being kept in a safe.
The robbery took place just hours after the cast of director Sofia Coppola's new film The Bling Ring walked the red carpet Thursday night for the premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. The Bling Ring is a true story about a group of teens who broke into celebrity homes to steal their valuables.
Chopard was hosting a gala event across town at the same time.
"It's horrible that someone went out and did that," The Bling Ring producer Youree Henley told USA TODAY. "The fact that it happened on the night of our premiere is kind of amazing. I guess there are a lot of Bling Rings out there."
"I can see someone snatching up the movie rights and doing a movie on it and having the premiere here. It will be Bling Ring the sequel."
Coppola told USA TODAY, "I was going to say that it's a publicity stunt (for her movie). I feel very Bling Ring just being here. Everything is so glittery. It all feels connected."
Coppola and her cast have an alibi, she joked. "We were at a premiere and a party."
Chopard loans expensive jewels to actresses who are walking the red carpet at the festival. Actress Julianne Moore already has appeared in Chopard jewelry.
"The jewels stolen are not part of the collection of jewels that are worn by actresses during the Cannes Film Festival," said Chopard's Raffaella Rossiello.
"The value of the pieces stolen is far lower than those in the figures circulating in the media," she said. Rossiello would not say why the jewels were brought to the Novotel during the film festival.
Cmdr. Bernard Mascarelli, spokesman for judicial police in nearby Nice, said the jewelry could be worth approximately $1 million. "There must have been either an inside complicity, or people who were in contact with this person and knew that the person had jewels."
Chopard, the Swiss-based watch and jewelry maker and one of the sponsors of the film festival, also manufactures the crystal and gold Palme d'Or trophy and has put the precious item in a safe, undisclosed location.
The 120-room Novotel caters to businessmen and is well off the Promenade de la Croisette, where many expensive shops, restaurants and hotels are located. The lobby is decorated with red and green fake leather furniture and a refrigerator with a selection of food that guests can take to their rooms.
The manager of the Novotel confirmed an internal investigation is underway. One employee described the situation as "surreal." Another, who would not give his name because he is not authorized by the hotel to talk with the press, said, "It's crazy right? Nothing happens here."
This isn't the first time that there has been a robbery at Cannes. In 2009, a lone gunman walked into a Chopard jewelry store and made off with $8 million worth of bling. Also in 2009, a group of armed men wearing Hawaiian shirts and masks riding motorbikes nabbed $21 million in jewelry from a Cartier store in Paris.
Bulgari also lends significant jewels to actresses for appearances on the red carpet at the film festival. Next week, Jessica Chastain will wear jewelry from Elizabeth Taylor's collection at a screening of the restored Cleopatra. No changes are being made for the event, according to a spokesman.

AN overwhelming response greeted the publication of a school photograph from the Verdin County Grammar School in 1957.
We have covered the pupils and their lasting memories of the school rules and their classmates.
In the second of our Remember When two-part features we look at the teachers that made schooldays memorable in 1950s Winsford.
'A HAPPY SCHOOL' is how a retired teacher remembers the Verdin County Grammar School in 1957.
Whitegate man Bill Shambrook spent his 32-year teaching career at the Winsford school, from 1950 to 1982.
He taught religious studies and was one of a number of long term teachers there.
"It was a very happy school," he said.
"In those days teachers stayed at the school and it's the long stayers that make a school – you had to deal with your own mistakes and if you did something wrong you had to put it right.
Former pupils remember all the school rules, from no running in the corridors to always wearing full uniform until you are at home, but Bill said teachers were lucky with pupil behaviour.
"We didn't have that many discipline problems at all," he said.
"A lot has to do with the homes and they were good kids who were disciplined at home.
"By and large I think the kids who went to grammar school had the right kind of background, which made life easier for us."
Bill, 91, thoroughly enjoyed his time at the school, which became a comprehensive in 1970, but had been destined for a very different career until the Second World War changed his life.
"When I left school originally I was going to go into mining engineering," he said.
"I was in the war in Australia and came back by ship, which incidentally took us six weeks, and on the journey there were a lot of evacuated children.
"My commanding officer put me and friend in charge of the children – keeping them happy and motivated.
"I enjoyed it so didn't go back to mining engineering but went into teaching, which wasn't my intention before I joined up."
Bill must have made the right choice as he is still fondly remembered by his former pupils.
He said: "I get recognised a lot, for better or for worse.
"It's very satisfying in a way that they don't mind speaking to you and coming up to you – I take it as a great compliment."
- MANY former pupils have very vivid memories of the teachers at the school.
A number of people have been in touch with the Guardian and named the headteacher Mr Bellamy, art teacher Mr Morris, geography teacher Mr Pearson, woodwork teacher Mr Walton, PE teacher Eric Rowley, physics teacher Mr Rutherford, English teacher Mr Parker, maths teacher Mr Hatton, chemistry teacher Mr Cooper, maths teacher Mr Parry, English teacher Mr Reece, French teacher Mrs Reece, domestic science teacher Mrs Sergeant, and music teacher Mrs Wise.
Former pupil Niel Hodkinson said: "A long lasting memory of Mr Bellamy was queuing up outside his study with around 40 other lads waiting for a couple of strokes of the cane.
"Our sin was throwing wet clay balls at the lads from the adjacent High Street school.
"What we would have got if we had hit anyone, who knows."
Niel remembers being in Mr Walton's woodwork class stirring a vat of wood glue when the death of King George VI was announced.
He also remembers Mr Rutherford cracking a piece of rubber gas tube on to the wooden desks to startle sleepy students and Mr Parker's wooden stick that he called Polyphemus.
"I don't think he ever used it ,but it was there as a threat," he said.
He added: "Though the teachers look stern most of them could bring a sense of humour into class."
He also remembers Mr Shambrook and described him as 'one of the nicest men you could meet."

Hallmark Reveals Mothers' Day Cards for Gay Moms
Do you have two moms? Well, Hallmark has a card for that.
Officials from Hallmark Cards Inc. revealed recently that they've created Mothers' Day cards for kids with gay moms. According to Today.com, one of the cards reads, "Moms are second to none," and on the inside it says, "How does anyone ever get by with just one?"
A spokeswoman for the company said it created two cards for gay moms.
"One card 'for two moms' and one card 'for my partner,'" Kristi Ernsting said.
Hallmark also made Valentines' Day cards for same-sex couples this year. Ernsting said those cards "were well received."
Kathy Krassner, director of communications for the industry trade group Greeting Card Association, said the progressive cards reflect the nation's views on the LGBT community.
"With last year's Supreme Court ruling bolstering gay marriage, more companies are offering same-sex wedding cards, and we're likely to see an increase in same-sex cards for Mother's Day and Father's Day going forward," she told Today.com.
Hallmark, along with its rival American Greetings, have cards for same-sex weddings and anniversaries. Today.com notes, however, American Greetings has not created Mothers' Day cards for same-sex moms.
"We don't because really it's about a one-to-one relationship," spokeswoman Patrice Saad told the website. "You have a unique relationship with both [parents]."
Brandon Ruiz, lead analyst at IBISWord, told Today that from a business perspective, not including same-sex couples in cards could hurt the industry, adding the greeting card industry is "already declining as it is."
"I think Hallmark, in particular, has that 'first mover' advantage," Ruiz said. "They've been the trend-setter in the industry," he said. Hallmark has created cards for stepmothers, birth mothers and adoptive mothers.
"They're being more specific and they're trying to cast a wider net, so to speak," Ruiz added.
Hallmark came under fire from conservatives last year when it removed the word "gay" from its Christmas ornament, which featured lyrics to the famous Christmas song "Deck the Halls."
