The US has confirmed China has successfully blocked one of its spy satellites using a ground-to-space laser.
The high-powered light was able to blind onboard cameras, acknowledged National Reconnaissance Office director Donald Kerr, responding to a report in Defense News. He said: "It makes us think."
Alluding to wider concerns about the vulerabilities of communications satellites, Air Force space commander general Kevin Chilton said: "We're at a point where the technology's out there and the capability for people to do things to our satellites is there. I'm focused on it beyond any single event."
The incident is likely to reignite the debate over the US's own anti-satellite programme, for which the House of Representatives attempted to block funding.

Good assessment Scott! I hope Marrone turns the Bills around!

Marrone could turn out to be a great hire, but I see two negatives: 1) At this point the Bills need instant success from a proven coach. You're right about all the retreads available not being the answer, and maybe the Bills couldn't get one of the "elites". 2) It's a terrible blow to Syracuse football. Just when the program is showing signs of a return to greatness (or at least respectability), combined with the move to the ACC, the last thing SU needed was to lose Marrone.

I think it is a great hire. I hope he has kept in touch with his friends in the NFL because putting his staff together is going to be the make or break for his tenure.
At the end of the day Chip Kelly will go back to Oregon.

The second day of BarCamp was illuminated by several conversations about the future of Social Networks (is there one? will multiplicity kill them off? is Facebook past it or you ain't seen nothin'yet? what about identity sharing with XFN and similar frameworks?).
I learned a bit more about Twitterbots. Twitter is one of those services which I know about but would, I think find overly intrusive into my working day. Partly that's just me being older, I guess, but there's a personality element to those sort of choices as well. There were a couple of people at least who are doing research into social network analysis: Aleks Krotowski of Linden and The Guardian's tech team, and Beth Granter of Sussex Uni. I suggested a connection with Peter Gloor who's a guru of this stuff at MIT's Sloan School, who I met on a company IT Field Trip I organised to MIT last May.
Jeff Barr ran a session on Cloud Computing, for me an update on what Amazon Web Services has added to its portfolio since I first met Jeff on a Study Tour two and a half years ago. AWS lowers the entry barriers for startups, and enables enterprise IT to test things out or do big short-term projects without major capital investment on infrastructure.
So overall, what a great event! From the initial publicity, it could have seemed like a geekfest for students, but the great value was the whole spectrum – people with that kind of sharp insight, established hi-tech companies, start-ups and more – and the chance to absorb a much younger IT culture than the one I've spent the last twelve years in. And for free, thanks to the sponsors! If you get a chance, go to one!

Não pude deixar de pensar na coleção de alta-costura da Chanel para Primavera 2009, particularmente no que diz respeito aos statement headpieces. Fiquei apaixonada por sua exuberância e nem mesmo consegui escolher um favorito!
O combo calça + casaco foi outro ponto alto, com seu padrão de flores bordado com fita, trabalho manual do qual sou fã. Dos meus vestidos favoritos, está faltando aqui apenas o modelo com cintura império que postei com a Composição da semana passada. Espero que você goste da seleção abaixo!
Following yesterday's post on Oscar de la Renta's Spring 2010 bridal collection, I was very glad to see short dresses still prevalent and as beautiful as last season's garments. The approach taken for this part of the collection was a happy surprise, with the addition of elegant short dresses and coats to suit more age groups (or people like me, who can't have enough of sleeves, tulle and embellishments). You know you are dealing with a master when even his short dresses are democratic!
I couldn't help but think of the Chanel Spring 2009 Haute Couture collection, particularly when it came to the statement headpieces. I am utterly in love with their exuberance and couldn't actually decide on a favourite!
The pants + coat combo was another highlight with its flower pattern created with ribbon embroidery, a craft I am particularly fond of. Out of my favourite garments, the only one missing here is the Regency-inspired one that I posted on last week's Composition. Hope you like the selection below!

Our Signature Life Balance Ritual channels the Mayan understanding of the universe through therapies that integrate the whole being. Knowledge and practices provided by traditional cultures offer insight into maintaining inner balance and harmonizing with the external world. The contemporary mental, emotional and physical stressors that impact us on a daily basis are the canvas on which we construct or dilute our well-being. Drawing on traditional Mayan wisdom, this Ritual focuses on calming the nervous system, purifying the body, and opening the emotional pathways to result in the inner tranquility necessary to live a life in balance. The experience begins with a Chablé Welcoming ceremony with Mayan Ritual elements to balance the energies of the five cosmic directions of the Earth and orient our guest in time and space. This is followed by our skin nourishing Herbal Salt scrub and Volcanic Clay Wrap to encourage deep cleansing and release. The Chablé Precious Stone Massage helps release stagnant energy and promote grounded stability, while an anointment of the crown with aromatic oils brings about a calm awakening. The ritual concludes with a special Chablé closing oriented towards continuing the circle of life.

The powerful energy and vibrations that are at play in creating health and wellbeing in the body are the same frequencies that work in Nature, helping the flowers to bloom, birds to sing, seeds to sprout and rain to fall. In this ritual we celebrate this connection to Nature's divine wisdom and our position in the cosmos according to Mayan Cosmogony. Nature possesses the innate wisdom to restore balance where balance has been lost, and we are equipped with the same wisdom. This unique treatment incorporates a variety of specialized vibrational therapies with tones, percussion and song to create energetic shifts, and a therapeutic Mayan Rebirth massage to create profound shifting in the body. The treatment ends with an aromatic anointment and the Chablé Circle of Life Closing Ritual to seal and release. The philosopher Nietzsche once said "Song elevates our being and leads us to the good and the true" and this Ritual will certainly have a lasting elevating effect.

**Losses caused by floods or tidal waves, backup through sewers and drains, water below the surface of the ground, and seepage or leakage may be excluded.

If any type of restaurant immediately conjures visions of luxury, lush draperies, plush carpet, wine cellars overflowing with expensive options, it is the steakhouse. The experience is all about excess. Huge slabs of beef, brought sizzling to your table, accompanied by rich sides such as home fries and creamed spinach. Think about that, even the spinach is luxurious, the addition of cream creating a dish so smooth and comforting, it is the culinary equivalent of a warm blanket on a cold night.
Westchester residents have no shortage of options when they're in the mood for beef. Famed nationwide names such as Morton's, Ruth's Chris and BLT Steak, as well as respected New York City restaurants such as the Benjamin have have all opened outposts in our fair county. We also have many local favorites such as Flames and The Willet House. Steak aficionados tend to be willing to debate the relative merits of their respective favorites whenever the opportunity arises. I've seen heated arguments arise over which was best, "Sparks?! Are you nuts?! Have you ever even eaten at Peter Luger?!" Whichever your favorite, we here in the 914 are lucky enough to have many options.
However, we are also lucky enough to have the best option.* That's right, we have the best steak with the added benefit of it being famous. A steak that put the Hudson Valley on the culinary map, defeated an Iron Chef and is exclusively ours. And it won't be found at a steakhouse. No, the steak I'm talking about is Peter X. Kelly's Cowboy Rib Eye and it can't be had in New York City, Vegas or South Beach, only right here at Xaviars X2O in Yonkers and Restaurant X in Congers.
First, some history for those unfamiliar. Peter Kelly has been amazing Hudson Valley diners for thirty years, since opening his own restaurant at only 23 years old. Now the owner of four restaurants, Xaviars at Piermont, Freelance Cafe, Restaurant X, and Xaviars X2O, Chef Kelly has racked up a nearly unimaginable list of accomplishments and accolades: 29 out of 30 in Zagat, a rating of extraordinary in The New York Times and, in 2010, a James Beard Award nomination for Best Chef: Northeast.
Dining at one of his restaurants is an experience. There is attention to every detail about your meal. Indeed, the restaurants are a true extension of Chef Kelly himself. To meet him is to find a warm and gracious man in whose company you always feel welcome. Given the ratings, it is easy to see he is an accomplished chef, but just as importantly, he is a natural host who believes that it is always easier to satisfy a happy diner. He is a restaurateur who reminds that the root of the word restaurant is restore, and not just restoration of calories, vitamins and minerals, but restoration of spirit. Every member of his staff that you interact will tend to be pleasant and attentive, ensuring that no negative experiences impede upon your enjoyment of the stellar food.
Accolades aside, what put Peter Kelly on the map nationally was his 2007 appearance on Iron Chef: America where he defeated Bobby Flay. With a grilled steak. Let us allow that to sink in for a moment. Chef Kelly beat a chef, famous worldwide for his grilling acumen, with a grilled steak. Specifically, his grilled Cowboy Rib Eye.
The Cowboy Rib Eye at X2O and Restaurant X is what you get when a hugely accomplished chef brings his talent and attention to detail to bear on steak. Aged anywhere from 28-35 days, the steak itself is a gorgeous, bone-in behemoth. It is rubbed with a combination of brown sugar, cayenne, salt and cracked black pepper, then left to marinate for two days. The result, after a pass under a 900 degree steakhouse broiler, is a beautifully charred exterior with a hint of heat and a slight sweetness to balance the smoky flavor from the char.
Initially presented whole before being whisked away for carving, it returns to you glistening and inviting, the interior ruby red but firm, the way only dry aged steak does. One bite and you immediately taste the bold beefiness of a well marbled, dry aged steak, but also the subtlety of the the spice rub. There is another factor that sets this steak apart. Every steakhouse seems to have branded their own line of steak sauces which accompany your selection. Chef Kelly practices Contemporary American cuisine, pulling inspiration and techniques from many of the world's cuisines. Many of his dishes possess a French flair. His Cowboy Rib Eye is served with a classic Bearnaise sauce, the sweetness of fresh tarragon and tang of vinegar help create a rich sauce which perfectly compliments both the meat and its crust.
I began this story by discussing the link between steakhouses and luxury, and for good reason. The Cowboy Rib Eye served at X2O and Restaurant X is, indeed, luxurious. The steak, juicy, kissed by smoke and awash in creamy Bearnaise sauce needs to be as bold and assertive as it is because the side dishes accompanying it are stunning.
The steakhouse standard creamed spinach is there and just as comforting and satisfying as mentioned, but there are no mere home fries here. Instead, the classic American accompaniment also gets a bit of French treatment (no, not French fries) in the form of Gratin potatoes. Covered in blistering Gruyere cheese, the aroma hits you like the world's most delightful freight train. You're there for steak but man, oh man do you want to dive right into the potatoes. I wanted to maintain manners (and also some sense of dignity), but still came close to hoarding that dish.
Bread comes in the form of three softball sized popovers. On the exterior is a buttery, crackly crust that could make a croissant cry tears of envy. Ripping one open will lead to ethereally light wisps of sweet, soft bread and a pocket of warm air that was the very essence of fresh baked bread. Though intimidating in size, these popovers are so light and airy that you will be in no danger of filling up on bread even though you will desperately want to.
Successful chefs know the mixed blessing and curse of being forever linked to a classic dish. David Chang's Pork Buns, Wolfgang Puck's Smoked Salmon Pizza and Thomas Keller's Oysters and Pearls, ask them about these dishes and they may roll their eyes with a "Oh, that again" look on their faces. But they also recognize that these are the dishes that made them famous and wildly successful. So it may be that Peter Kelly is linked to his Iron Chef toppling Cowboy Rib Eye. I know that if I were linked to something so eminently satisfying as that dish I would consider myself successful indeed. It's a classic 914 Eat!
*Cue the yelling and screaming. Proclaiming a "best" in something that people feel as passionate about as steak is just begging for abuse. Bring it on, I can take it.

Jenna Glazer, left, with her wife, Elise Bacolas outside family court in Brooklyn. The couple was celebrating Glazer's adoption of their 5-month-old daughter, Maya, whom Bacolas gave birth to through artificial insemination. The couple married last year on July 24, the day same-sex marriages became legal in New York.
NEW YORK -- Jenna Glazer had long waited for the moment she would legally become the second mom to her infant daughter, Maya, erasing any uncertainty about her ties to the child she had with her wife.
That day came in mid-July, just before Glazer marked the one-year anniversary of her wedding to Elise Bacolas, Maya's other mom, on July 24, when same-sex marriage became legal in their home state of New York.
After a few minutes before a family court judge in Brooklyn, the adoption was approved, and a beaming Glazer held up Maya in the air as loved ones offered congratulations and cheers. No longer would the name of Maya's second parent be blank on her birth certificate.
"It's the same thing like with marriage, you know. We were committed for 12 years, but being married felt differently," Glazer, 40, said through tears outside the court in mid-July. "The minute that she was born, I thought that she was mine, but it feels really nice. It feels really nice to have it final."
The couple is one of many across the country who are raising some 2 million children in same-sex households, according to advocacy and research groups. But though the path across the marital threshold is easing for same-sex couples, they are still facing a complex route to parenthood.
For lesbian couples, donor insemination is one option, though potentially expensive, while for gay couples, some choose surrogacy, though that can cost more than $100,000 and is clearly allowed only in some states, advocates and researchers say.
With those challenges, the more common way to become a parent today is through fostering or adoption, but some states explicitly ban same-sex couples from doing so, said Laura Deaton, policy research director at the Movement Advancement Project, a think tank focused on the LGBT community.
"The complexity and the difference in state law is what renders LGBT parenthood very uncertain and challenging," Deaton said. Even states geographically next to one another, such as Iowa and Nebraska, "couldn't have laws that are farther from each other in terms of how they define marriage and family."
Twenty states and the District of Columbia allow same-sex couples to obtain stepparent or second parent adoptions (which is what Glazer did), according to the American Civil Liberties Union.
But in at least one state where they don't, North Carolina, the existing legal parent would have to give up their parental rights for an adoption to occur. Same-sex couples are suing to overturn that ban.

Jenna Glazer , left, and Elise Bacolas with their daughter Maya when she was two days old.
"Many of our families carry huge packets of paperwork with them any time that they travel so they have their powers of attorney for each other, so that they have their guardianship papers or adoption judgments," Deaton said. "Most families don't think twice about proving that a child is theirs, but LGBT families are constantly in fear that they are not going to be able to do so."
Deaton said her organization had found that the tough impediments to becoming parents for same-sex couples hadn't dictated where they live. But Glazer, a director at a nonprofit helping young women with breast cancer, and Bacolas, a senior project manager at an online marketing firm, said they couldn't imagine leaving their supportive corner of Brooklyn, where they recently joined a play group for same-sex families.
"... we hope for people to see that progress is going to happen whether they like it or not, and that it's really time to stop thinking that it's OK to discriminate against people," Glazer said. "People are going to have families whether people agree with it or not. We're going to love each other whether people agree with it or not. And instead of creating divisiveness and discord and anger and hate … be a part of a positive change."
The couple is hoping that the shifts in attitudes toward same-sex families will come nationwide before Maya can understand the differences, and recent polls show that may already be taking place.
A Pew Research Center survey published Thursday found a steady increase in support for allowing gays and lesbians to adopt children, from 38 percent in favor in 1999 compared with 57 percent opposed, to 52 percent in support in 2012 and 42 percent against.
"In many ways divisions in views about gay adoption mirror those of gay marriage," Pew said in its analysis. "People who believe that gays and lesbians should be allowed to marry legally also tend to believe gay and lesbians should be allowed to adopt children. And people who oppose allowing gays and lesbians to marry often also oppose allowing them to adopt."
Support for same-sex marriage has continued to grow, too. In May, a Gallup poll found that 50 percent of Americans believe same-sex marriage should be legal and bestow the same rights as traditional marriage, compared to 48 percent who don't. It was the second time in the poll's history that a majority of Americans supported same-sex marriage.
The Supreme Court is also expected to take up one of the few cases that have made it through the lower courts, where judges have separately ruled that California's ban on gay marriage and denial of federal benefits to same-sex couples are unconstitutional.
But supporters of marriage between a man and a woman have vowed to continue to push for constitutional amendments that define marriage as such. They recently won such a vote in North Carolina in May, bringing to 31 the number of states that ban same-sex marriage, and are campaigning to overturn same-sex laws in Maryland and Washington.

At the Bacolas-Glazer home on a recent evening, the couple alternately tended to Maya, who babbled and smiled often, and later watched her on a night-vision monitor after putting her in her crib as they talked about their path to parenthood.
On their first try at donor insemination a few months before same-sex marriage became legal in New York, Bacolas became pregnant. They began the adoption process when Bacolas was six months pregnant, and had to go through a home evaluation with a social worker, submit to a background check and supply letters of recommendation and good health (Glazer, a three-time cancer survivor, had to get a letter from her oncologist), among other things.
Though second parent adoptions are allowed in New York, making it less difficult compared to other states where it is not, it still was not a simple process and showed their commitment to having a child, the couple said.
"You have to go out of your way to create this family, and that just goes to show how much we want it and how much we fight to get here should speak volumes to the fact that we want … to have a family and we are a family," Bacolas, 40, later said outside the court.

The couple said they hoped that such heated and hard discussions they hear in the national discourse today about same-sex families would soon be a thing of the past, or take on an increasingly positive tone, as Maya grows up.
"When she is old enough to understand the news, if this discussion is still going on, I think it's difficult not to take that personally. I don't want her to grow up thinking that there's something wrong with her family or that she has to be worried what if something happens to one of her mommies," Glazer said. "I really hope she doesn't have to hear it and feel that her family isn't as good as another family because ... we are and she's lucky, she's got two parents who love her."

Turns out some guy named Edgar Wright directed "Shaun of the Dead". I was 99% sure Simon Pegg did so egg on my face. And now there's news that Edgar has been placed in charge of telling Johnny Depp what to do in the new film "The Night Stalker". The movie revolves around a reporter who hunts down all kind of fun beasts like vampires, monsters and aliens. Sounds like a hoot if you ask me. You didn't though. Cause you're a jerk.
There's so many horror related shows being worked on right now it's hard to keep up and 75% of them revolve around cults. "Midnight Sun" is one of those shows and we've learned today that Michael Raymond-James of "True Blood" fame, will play the second in command of the police force trying to uncover the mystery surrounding the disappearance of a cult in Alaska. Cults are so hot right now. We should start one or something.
Bianca Kajlich is officially joining the cast of the new monster movie "Dark Was The Knight". Kajlich will play the wife of a small town sheriff trying to fend off a band of monsters that have been unleashed on the world. For those of you not familiar with her work she's on the TV show "Rules of Engagement" and was the lead in "Halloween: Resurrection". That's all I can say about her because my wife reads this and I'd like the locks to be the same when I get home tonight.
If I was Disney and I was looking for a guy to write the script for the movie based on the Matterhorn ride my first pick would be the guy who wrote "Scream 3". Hands down. I kid of course but Ehren Kruger has been confirmed none the less. Are you excited? I'm not. I'm sorry. I just can't lie to you.

Considering this, I think all the food turned out pretty dang good. In fact, I've been enjoying the leftovers immensely!!! (And we only missed our target eating time by about 30 minutes!)
I made the Turkey, Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Green Bean Casserole, and (of course) Peanut Butter Pie. Chef D and his cooking side-kick/assistant, Max, made the pie crusts, Jell-o and delicious (very labor intensive) Parker House Rolls. (I'm salivating just thinking about it.) Happily, we had some good friends over to help us celebrate the day and eat some of the food!
The day after Thanksgiving, we got busy preparing for Christmas! First, Bargain Shopper D got up at the crack of pre-dawn to hit a few sales and get some shopping done. Someone had to stay with the boys and since I'm a BIT early-morning-waking-up-challenged, that job fell to me. He came home with some very nice things for himself and instructed me to wrap them. (Way to go Me, for getting him just what he wanted!)
Later in the day, all the pumpkins disappeared and red and green boxes were retrieved from the storage room and dusted off.
Saturday morning we headed to a tree farm to pick our tree* and then spent all afternoon and evening decorating it and the house.
Let me amend that a bit...I decorated all day, my husband went to watch the BYU/Utah football game THEN came home and helped. (F.Y.I. BYU won. "and there was much rejoicing...yeaaaah!")
We got 700 lights put up and then the boys joined in to help put on the ornaments. (While simultaneously staring at "The Polar Express" d.v.d.)
(Ahh...that's a great picture. The little posers!)
I have to say I love our tree. The next picture just doesn't do it justice. It's so pretty!!! I know my friend Ginger will say I'm a tree murderer, but I say, our tree is fulfilling the purpose of its creation. And doing it quite splendidly I might add. (The same goes for the Thanksgiving turkey we just ate. umm....turrrkeyyy!)
After all that work, now we get to sit back enjoy the Christmas holidays! So bring on the Neil Diamond Carols and fruit cake! The Dubs are ready for the Christmas season to begin!
*If you'd like a fabulous description of the experience, see this blog. You'll have to search the Nov. archives to find the November 11th entry but it's worth it. No need for me to duplicate effort.

Reasons why garments often end up at sample sales:
• As you've probably guessed, designers create a line of clothing for each season.
• Samples of all garments are produced then sent from the factory to the designer for approval. Styles are chosen and more samples are made until the color and fabric are just right.
• The samples (whether chosen for the line or not) are kept for reference, just in case they need to be referred to in the future.
• After a few seasons, the samples aren't needed anymore. That's why clothing companies have sample sales.
• Other garments also make it into sample sales such as leftover production that got returned, sent back for damages or garments that just didn't do well in the stores.
• Bottom line–a company's loss can truly be your gain!
Look for sample sales in larger cities where most fashion companies are based – we're talking primarily New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami and Dallas.
SAMPLE SALE RULES TO LIVE BY 1. It's All About TIMING
Like the saying goes, the early bird gets the discounted Diesel jeans… When you find a sample sale that entices you, tackle it at the beginning of the day on the first day, and the end of the day on the last day. It's always wise to make your selections before the vultures attack. And when you go 2 or 3 hours before the end of the sale on the last day, sometimes the prices will be lowered to get rid of the picked-over merchandise. This doesn't always happen, but when it does, it sweetens the deal even more.
2. Start Wheelin' and Dealin'
BEFORE you approach the counter to pay, find out who is in charge. Ask if the prices are negotiable. Keep in mind that the more you buy, the more willing they'll be to work with you. You never know unless you ask! As with most things in life, a pleasant attitude goes a long way for good future shopping karma. Even if you get turned down, you might have broken the ice for the next person.
3. Make New Friends
While you are shopping MAKE NEW FRIENDS. Become buddies with whoever is shopping next to you. Smile, be friendly and offer a positive surprise comment whenever the right moment strikes. Why?
If your shopping neighbor just swiped the top you just envisioned yourself going out to dinner in, a smile will go a long way. If your new top is now in her pile, casually mention to her that you would "love to try that on" when she is finished. With this now implanted in her brain, she should have no problem handing it over – if she even tries it on at all. The odds are in your favor as there are probably other things she wanted more anyway. Most people won't care and are happy to oblige, but not if you are elbowing people in the ribs down the rack! (No, I have never done that.) This situation does come up quite often so express your gratitude thoroughly (lay it on thick) and consider it good shopping karma for her (remind her of this).

Coming Up With Something New to Say at Christmas
At this time of year, preachers the world over are faced with the daunting task of finding something new to say about Christmas. The details of Christ's birth are repeated in Christmas story-books, television specials, and Peanuts cartoons, so everyone in your congregation—even that guy who can only be expected to show up again next Easter—is at least somewhat familiar with the story. It's true that a preacher might focus on exploring the poetic paradoxes and profound implications of the incarnation, but how can he say anything that hasn't already been given eloquent expression in some Christmas carol?
One way to get a fresh perspective on the Christmas story is not to look for novel interpretations, but to look back to the perspectives of past interpreters. It may be true that there is "nothing new under the sun" (Ecclesiastes 1:9), but the astute preacher can draw on ancient perspectives which have all but been forgotten by modern students of the Bible.
IVP's Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture (ACCS) can provide just this kind of help. Look up different parts of the Christmas story and you'll find various church fathers offering ancient perspectives on the text which can be surprisingly fresh and relevant. For example, Origen reflects on the angels' message to the shepherds that "a Savior is born for you," by pointing out how the church's "shepherds" (that is, its pastors and overseers) must depend on the "good Shepherd" who was born for them. The Venerable Bede hones in on the fact that the angels said, "born today" rather than born "this night." He then reflects on how Christ's birth signified the inbreaking of eternal day into a fallen world of darkness. Augustine, who seems to have a penchant for paradox, contrasts the eternal generation of the Son by the Father with his temporal birth by a virgin mother. Those are just three of the many interesting perspectives on this one passage. The ACCS offers just as many interesting perspectives on the other Christmas passages (as well as the Bible as a whole), so that the harried preacher who needs a jolt of inspiration will find plenty and to spare.
If the ACCS strikes you as exactly what you need right now, you can get it for more than 35% off during our current Holiday sale.

Exciting opportunities at Ho Leprosy village, Ghana
By Ian Birbeck – Recruitment Director
Before visiting our volunteers in Ho I had been in touch with Ailsa Murray who was a medical volunteer working in Ho. Ailsa has been a regular volunteer with Projects Abroad, previously working in Sri Lanka and Moldova. It turned out that Ailsa had worked with Boris Topor who had hosted me as a volunteer in his family in 1992. It was great to be able to meet up.
Ailsa had organized a meeting of volunteers at the Projects Abroad Ho office. She explained clearly her ideas. The Leprosy village is very close to one of the clinics Projects Abroad works with in Ho. On visiting the village Ailsa quickly recognized the neglect and poverty in this area. Schoonhoven village was built in 2006 to house a group of lepers and their families. Ailsa felt volunteers on other projects would also be able to contribute not only the medical volunteers. A trip to the village was organized.
The problem that medical volunteers have started to address is regular cleaning of the wounds that come along with leprosy. There is no chance of catching leprosy. Other volunteers spent time with children related to the lepers. The volunteers have now painted a room where medical materials can be stored as well as food donations. It can also act as a treatment room.
The volunteers found many of the lepers were sleeping on the floor so they got together and donated a mattress for every leper. They also paid for medical insurance for every leper for the next year. This is something the government used to pay.
The Ghana Projects Abroad team is keen to make this project sustainable. The project was publicized on the main news program in Ghana although the person who really got the project going was camera shy!
Even though she has returned to the UK and her studies at Aberdeen University Ailsa is remaining involved in the development of the project. Well done, Ailsa.

THURSDAY, Dec. 23, 2010 (HealthDay News) -- Here's another reason not to pile on too many excess pounds: A new study finds that the obese and very obese are at raised risk of death in severe car crashes.
According to the research, published in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine, a moderately obese driver is 21 percent more likely to die in a severe motor vehicle crash compared to non-obese drivers, while being severely obese hikes the risk of death by 56 percent.
However, being just slightly overweight seemed to lower the odds for death in a severe crash: these drivers were actually less likely to die than either underweight or normal-weight drivers, according to researchers at the University at Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
In the study, the researchers analyzed data from the national Fatality Analysis Reporting System involving almost 156,000 drivers in severe motor vehicle crashes occurring between 2000-2005. The researchers included all fatalities occurring within 30 days of a crash.
The link between obesity and death risk was found for both men and women, the researchers noted.
The study's lead author said the findings could have implications for car design and car safety testing.
"The rate of obesity is continuing to rise, so is it imperative that car designs are modified to protect the obese population, and that crash tests are done using a full range of dummy sizes," Dr. Dietrich Jehle, professor of emergency medicine, said in a university news release.
"Extending the range of adjustable seats would be helpful, as well as encouraging moderately and morbidly obese individuals to buy larger vehicles with more space between the seat and the steering column," he said.
"We also recommend that manufacturers design and test vehicle interiors with obese dummies, which currently are not available."
The study was funded in part by the U.S. Federal Highway Administration.

Hey, if you aren't interested in the kitten, just don't click for more!
Inkwell got his first serious dose of catnip today when I dropped a baggie of it on the floor when I came home for lunch. He reached the mess before I did and started to roll around in it. I cleaned up what was left while he watched from a couple of feet away, occasionally licking the catnip in his fur. When I went after him to brush off the catnip, he dashed away, unwilling to let me touch him.
Then he started running. He's a little galloper, and we are treated each night to him galloping up and down the stairs a few times before he settles down. This was like that only about 10 times faster. He was literally moving faster than my eyes could keep up with. And he was attacking things that were not there. And my feet. I think there may have been some catnip on my feet: he wouldn't stop attacking them. Running up, tapping them, yowling, then running away.
As I watched, bemused and a little concerned, he knocked over his toybox and scattered his toys around the ground floor of the house. It was a little like watching an explosion in slow motion. I went around and picked them up while he tried to scatter more.
He finally slowed down a bit and jumped up on my lap. There he proceeded to dig in with his claws every time I moved, yowling a little. I finally got him off me, and he started to gallop around the house again, a little slower than before. I hastily took my opportunity and went back to work.
When Eric and I got home (I sort of accidentally picked him up at work, since I was over there for other stuff) the cat had mellowed out. Eric gave him some munchies, and when he finished those he draped himself across my face while I tried to get on the computer. He does not appear to be any worse for the wear after his catnip adventure. He's now sleeping it off next to the sliding glass door (he attempted to shred the curtain over the sliding glass door, but the damage looks minor).
Here's some pictures of him playing with a toy I got him at Amazon.com. He's not figured out that the center is for scratching, but he likes the spinning ball.

White sox announce Bo Jackson to throw ceremonial first pitch on Opening Day
Members of Renown Chicago Broadcast Media Family - Phil, Anthony and Dan Ponce - Will Perform National Anthem
The Chicago White Sox announced that Bo Jackson, former Sox outfielder and designated hitter and member of the 1993 American League West Division Champion White Sox, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch on Opening Day, Monday, April 1.
Bo Jackson, recently designated the "Greatest Athlete of All Time" by ESPN's Sports Science, played for the White Sox from 1991-93. In 1993, Jackson dramatically returned from hip replacement surgery to homer in his first at-bat of the season vs. the New York Yankees at Comiskey Park. On September 27 that same season, Jackson belted a three-run home run off of the Seattle Mariners at Comiskey Park to help the White Sox clinch the AL West Division title.
This season's Opening Day National Anthem will be performed by three members of a Chicago broadcast media family and lifelong Sox fans - the Ponce family. The Studs Terkel Award-Winning Host of Chicago Tonight Phil Ponce, along with his sons Anthony (from NBC Chicago) and Dan (from WGN Television and the hit vocal group Straight No Chaser), will sing the Anthem prior to the opener at U.S. Cellular Field.
The White Sox will face Kansas City in the season opener at U.S. Cellular Field on Monday, April 1, 2013 at 3:10 p.m. The game will be televised on Comcast SportsNet, broadcast on WSCR-AM 670 The Score and broadcast in Spanish on 97.5FM ESPN Deportes.

For the most part spirit contact is a deliberate visitation of someone who is familiar to you. They come and see us, ask questions, talk to us, and try to make us feel their presence. Sometimes it is a "feeling that you are not alone", which is their Auric field touching yours. It can be a scent that you actually smell, as in perfume or tobacco smoke that they manifest. You can also see them and converse directly with them, or just hear sentences spoken inside your head.
Surprisingly there is very little distance between our world and the Other Side. The Fifth Dimension which is where Heaven is, is actually three feet above the surface of the Earth, only it's in a higher dimension. Remember Earth is the Third Dimension and also Fourth. The Fourth Dimension is where negativity is housed. Why is negativity housed in the Fourth Dimension? For every action there is a reaction. When someone does an evil deed, that negative energy emits a vibration that transfers into the Fourth Dimension, as it is then placed there beside the Auric Field of the person who has done this deed. So in essence it is with the Soul of the person and is also placed in such a way as it congregates in order to be used for discharge when there is a good deed given out, as in a loving release. So Earth is a plane where we dwell, experience, and work through issues.
Spirit communications are generally from loved ones who are primarily group soul family members and friends on the Other Side. We reincarnate over and over with our group family who have been with each other for eternity. Does it surprise you to learn this? It might sound strange having a family for that long, but then again, we love each other and love grows. There are instances where some Spirit contact is from total strangers and is uninvited, and one of the reasons for this is that it is "allowed by the Guides" as they want you working through issues dealing with the newness of being psychic. I've found that when this is occurring, there is a basic-level awareness of the psychic person there and they are having difficulties overcoming the "fear of the unknown" issue. There are always variations, of course.
What about someone, for example, who was your relative two lifetimes ago and is currently a Spirit up in Heaven? Do they stop by for a visit? Yes, they sometimes do. They have your Auric field in their hearts. They just think of you and sense where you are, then visit you if it's an appropriate time. They don't come when it is inconvenient, but they do have their "regulars" that they like to see and check up on. Sometimes they also like to "advise" however, that is only allowed by the Guide. In other words, they don't stop being your family and friends, even though the different dimensions have us separated. They are very much still involved in your lives, even though they are now in Spirit. Believe me, I have given many readings where I start out with a Guide giving me very tactful and pertinent information on a certain person who asked for a reading, followed by a Spirit family member stopping by and putting in their very frank "two-cent's worth"! Sometimes they are very funny with their off-the-wall humor, as well as with straight-to-the-point advice which I need to ethically sense whether or not to relay to the subject. If you've ever heard of the phrase "Dutch Uncle" then you'd be sensing what I mean here with their advice given! Just try to realize that people are people, whether or not they are now living on the Spirit Plane.
When a person becomes a psychic, it is clear to God that they are going to do good with it, as it is shown in the person's aura, and they are delegated additional Spirit Guides who are capable of assisting when the person is doing work with their spiritual gifts. The Guides are also told that the reason for doing this is for Highest and Best Good, and if the person is charging for their spiritual gifts, then there is the lessening of the gift somewhat. (This pertains to accuracy.) The reason for this I am told is that spiritual gifts are freely given to them, so if they chose to use it as a way of making money, then the ability is altered some (depending on how much they charge, etc. and how their attitude is). Lord Jesus Christ told his disciples, "freely have you received, therefore, freely give". So you can see how Spirit views dispensing of these spiritual gifts to those down here on Earth.
Why is it necessary to have a Spirit Guide" when you are doing spirit contact for others? Mostly because there are crowds that gather in Spirit when someone is doing readings like here on the Internet. LI once went to see a well-known psychic giving a lecture at a woman's fair in my city. After the lecture she did readings and I watched a Spirit Guide stand behind the subject she was giving a reading to and placed his hands on the person's shoulders. Another Guide stood behind the psychic and a little to the left, assisting the psychic by giving her names of the Spirits who were there. All was clearly organized and well planned by the Guides assisting the psychic. So you see, the Spirit Guides do their jobs helping psychics for accuracy, even though they aren't always visibly seen but just "sensed" by the psychic. They want as much as the psychic does to make a good contact.
When you have an open group of people wanting to have a reading, and you as a psychic "open to Spirit", your Auric field is clearly sending out a huge signal saying that you are wanting to make contact. Thought travels instantly you see, and your Guides come immediately and are there to maintain the Highest Good for all concerned. Remember they are there for the Spirits as well as for the people on Earth. When the psychic is asking for a particular person, such as someone who is close to the person wanting a reading, the Guide will say something like "all those who are family of this person (named), please come here". If someone else comes (clearly a stranger) and is causing a disturbance, the Guide asks them to leave, which they usually do. Often if they are not causing a disturbance Guides won't resort to removal of them, though. Often new readers will get a Spirit who seems to be telling them exact descriptions about themselves, showing them visual pictures, and giving them enthusiastic information, but then no one recognizes this Spirit. Those are the types who enjoy this type of contact, even though they are not connected with the people in the group. As soon as you sense that no one is responding to a recognition of this Spirit, bless and release these Spirits when this happens, and remember to be polite to them. In most cases, they will retire.
There is no set "best time" when a person can become a psychic. People have noticed their abilities occurring at all times of their lives, even late adulthood. My mother although psychic most of her life hadn't done psychic contact before until she was 85 years old. I might add that she was very successful, too. Many times God gives us this gift of psychic ability after we have lived some and are more clear in our thinking. It is after living and experiencing that intuition has a better use, as it brings out understanding.
When children are experiencing psychic abilities, more often than not, their parents and peers don't have an open-minded nature. These intuitive children who are discouraged to use this natural ability start blocking the gift. Later on in life, this gift can and does come back, if allowed. There are issues with this, too, as so often these children have psychic experiences around the age of as young as three and up. They, too, need understanding about how all this relates to their particular situation and to have that comfort of knowing how to handle it in the simplest of terms.
Another issue I would like to address is about accuracy. The information you are receiving from the Spirit during a reading could be altered from their view of the situation, as they are people just like us and their memory of the past isn't always clear or from their viewpoint it was a bit different. Some Spirit people will remember fond feelings about a certain thing, but then the loved one who is having a reading might not remember how they felt about it and will regard that as a "miss" with your contact. So try for the overall message, since there will be other things that they will tell you that will be clues. Often people remember back on the reading and then ask other family members later about what was said and the subject the Spirit mentioned is verified. We don't always hear back on those things, so don't feel like you are making an error in stating what the Spirit tells you...just remember that you are the "go-between" as it comes through you not from you. A good phrase to use with these situations is "I'll leave that with you" and then release that particular incident that is told. That way you are not hampering the flow of information with the contact, but allowing both the Spirit and the person here to be dealing with it. It is hard for the readee to instantly remember all past incidences between themselves and the Spirit off hand, and with the nervousness of being in contact with their Spirit Loved One, that, too, plays a part in it.
Another myth about Spirit contact is that this ability can be dangerous, and that only well-trained psychics should be doing Spirit contact. No, this is not true. What people don't understand, they usually become fearful of. It is important to pray first, asking God to bless this to the Highest and Best Good, and to surround you with the white light of protection, making sure you ask with a sincere heart. Praying with a sincere heart is the key, as it opens up your heart chakra to Divine Oneness, allowing God to sense this and bring forth Light Energy to block negativity. Also, when you doubt what you are sensing, right away it sends a negative blocking signal to your sixth sense, making it hard, if not impossible to receive accurate communication. Remember fear blocks. When you think of it, fear is the root cause of all negativity. Basically there are only two emotions, love and fear. Everything else stems from those two basic emotions. Having doubt about what you are receiving will stop immediately Divine Guidance, as well. You need to feel absolutely certain that you are psychic and are doing this out of highest and best good. This confidence will bring with it trust.
I would recommend practicing on those in your immediate family and friends who are receptive to this. You can immediately sense how they feel about it when you ask, believe me. They show it in their continence and their reaction if they are warm to the idea. Don't force it on anyone if they are not wanting to be read, even though they are close family members and intimate friends. Once you gain that much needed confidence in what you are receiving, the energy level will soar with your connection being better and the energy drain much less. Nerves play a lot in this as it is on a level of Spirit, Higher Self, plus the emotional level, so when you are nervous it definitely causes you further energy drain. Confidence takes care of that as you can relax and just do what know you are capable of doing well. So practice, practice, practice.
Lastly, discernment is important, as common sense and logic gives you the benefit of knowing what to relate to a person during a reading and what not to relate. The word discernment is one that I use often, and I've been asked more than once to define it when giving a reading. The description I like the best is "to use keen understanding, insight, perception and judgment." So you can see that by being psychic and using that ability to affect either your own life or the life of another in terms of giving a reading carries with it a responsibility, as it needs to for Highest and Best Good Always.

Hours before Pink's recent show at Staples Center, creative director Baz Halpin is crouched beneath the stage in the dimly lighted corridor he calls "the underworld." That night, Pink's fans would witness the star scale a giant gyroscope, somersault from bungee cords, dangle precariously from silk ribbons and fly over the audience at dizzying heights.
Hours before Pink's recent show at Staples Center, creative director Baz Halpin is crouched beneath the stage in the dimly lighted corridor he calls "the underworld." That night, Pink's fans would witness the star scale a giant gyroscope, somersault from bungee cords, dangle precariously from silk ribbons and fly over the audience at dizzying heights.
Halpin points to crash-landing pads that swell from a trap door to protect the singer, an ornate silver rig for one of five aerial numbers and a small tank filled with water for a finale that blurs the line between circus and pop performance.
Pink's Truth About Love tour may set a benchmark for fiercely ambitious staging, and she's not alone. Pop divas including Madonna, Beyonce and Lady Gaga have upped the ante in bringing performances to the public, launching live spectacles that are as physically taxing as they are daring. Even performers such as Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood, not exactly known for their flamboyant stage presences, are joining the action.
"There's been such a great heritage of incredible women performers from Tina Turner to Cher," said Halpin as he watched a dancer test the bungee-aided aerial number that opens the show. "Women were the first to bring real theater and storytelling into (concerts)." But now, he says, women have quite literally taken the concert experience to new heights with "elements of theater and Cirque du Soleil packed into a pop/rock shows."
Lady Gaga was one artist savvy enough to turn to Cirque and Broadway for inspiration onstage. Her massive Born This Way Ball tour was a master class in spectacle with a sprawling, three-story medieval castle and extravagant set pieces such as a mechanical horse, the infamous Grammy egg and a motorcycle that doubled as a costume.
With album sales flagging as compared with the record industry's glory days, live shows now play a more crucial role than ever when it comes to engaging fans. As ticket prices have continued to rise — good seats at Beyonce's upcoming shows are $260 — so, too, have fans' expectations for a show to offer more than just music.
But why is it that women are bearing the burden of taking big risks onstage? For one, the pop landscape has become more and more competitive. Gaga, Katy Perry and Rihanna have dominated radio over the past couple of years and are talked about as much for their music as their constantly evolving costumes and stage designs.
Pink, born Alecia Moore, decided to introduce acrobatic elements into her American shows a few years ago. Though she was already breaking tour records in Australia, the U.S. market was less convinced. Then she hung upside down over a vat of water at the 2010 Grammys, and everything changed. The performance showed the tough gal known for brash, unconventional pop anthems could also pull off killer, high-concept numbers.
But when is it too much? The ferocious choreography of Lady Gaga's recent tour led to a hip injury that required surgery and the cancellation of remaining dates. During Pink's 2010 Funhouse Summer Carnival tour the singer had to be rushed to the hospital after she was flung into the audience barricade because of an improperly attached harness.
Nearly 30 years into her touring career, Madonna is still breaking ground, and last year's MDNA Tour saw the singer push physical boundaries. Madonna tapped Cirque du Soleil artistic director Michel Laprise to direct the show that was an astonishing display of technological innovation that found the singer engaged in near-extreme sports that included scaling a wall and slack-lining.
"It had to be something that's unpredictable and surprising — like she's been the last 30 years," Laprise said.

The stress of the attacks on 9/11 caused an estimated one million former smokers to pick the habit up again, according to a Weill Cornell Medical College public health study.
The research is the first to look at the net costs to society of terrorism-induced smoking in the United States after 9/11 and the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.
Though there is a general consensus that stress is a "very large motivator for individuals to use substances," the stress effects of large-scale events on substance use has not been widely studied.
"This study provides the first unbiased estimate of the effect of stress on smoking, and the finding that there was such a big increase in smoking nationwide, seemingly due to one event, is extraordinary, and surprising," said study author Dr. Michael Pesko, an instructor in Weill Cornell Medical College's Department of Public Health.
While the Oklahoma City bombing didn't affect cigarette-smoking rates in the U.S., Pesko suggests that 9/11 caused a significant 2.3 percent increase nationwide.
Data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey, gathered by health departments in each state and compiled into an annual report by the Centers for Disease Control, includes questions about seat-belt use, smoking and drinking habits, and doctor visits.
Pesko compared 1,657,985 responses to the survey, and extrapolated that from the fourth quarter of 2001 through 2003, when the study ended, between 950,000 and 1.3 million adult former smokers resumed smoking cigarettes, representing a 2.3 percent increase in adult smokers across the country.
"I was really surprised to find that former smokers across the nation resumed their old habit," Pesko said. "I was expecting to see impacts just in the New York City area -- or, at most, the tri-state area."
The study estimated the public cost of 9/11-induced smoking to be between $530 million and $830 million -- potentially higher if the smoking continued beyond 2003.
Pesko said the study "sheds light on a hidden cost of terrorism."
Pesko suggests updated potential public health response to future stress-inducing events, including programs that offer free nicotine replacement therapy soon after. "Another strategy would be to alert health professionals to do more substance abuse screening during regular medical appointments following terrorist attacks, or any such event that is likely to stress the nation," he said.

A collection of recent studies shows that exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) — including many longlasting pesticides — can slow growth rates of human embryos and shrink the genitals and weaken bones of polar bears.
The World Health Organization (WHO), meanwhile, is asking health professionals around the world to do more to protect children from the health effects of POPs.In a comprehensive overview of exposure, WHO highlights the long term impacts of in utero and early childhood exposure to persistent chemicals:
Some effects may manifest only after a latency period, during adolescence or adulthood. These later effects may be difficult to attribute to POPs exposure because of the long period of time that has passed.
WHO then calls on public health officials worldwide — and specifically pediatric professionals — to educate families about the risks of exposure to POPs chemicals, with the goal of protecting women of childbearing age, pregnant women and children.
Impacts on birthweight & fertility
Earlier this spring scientists published a study in Reproductive Toxicology linking POPs exposure during pregnancy to intra uterine growth retardation, a serious complication of pregnancy, affecting an estimated 5% to 10% of newborns.
And last week, a Danish wildlife veterinarian and toxicologist warned of "shrinking balls and degrading bones" of polar bears in East Greenland. Fertility and reproductive capacity of the species could be severely affected.
Ovary size and weight of female bears also decrease as POPs exposure levels rise, according to the scientist, who notes that "people, as well as other animals, in the Canadian Arctic may also be at risk of similar effects from these pollutants."
So it is conform the book written by Theo Colborn : Our stolen future.
Realy , it does n't mean so much to us homo sapiens.
We are plenty, pentyfull on this earth.
But it is a shame and outrage to our innocent brethren , the animals are once again ,the victim.
Without them live will be boring
I have also studied it. Not only for polar bears, but these pesticides also harmful for every type of mammals. I have experimented it on many other mammals and found that this pesticide produces different diseases in these animals.
