Storm snarls roads in South
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A snowstorm blanketed the South yesterday, with drivers warned to stay off slippery roads as officials worked to clear a mess of wrecks and downed power lines.

Nearly a foot of snow had fallen in parts of western North Carolina, and nearly 10 inches had fallen in some areas north of Memphis, Tenn. A central Tennessee woman was killed when a tree weighed down with ice crashed into her mobile home, a fire department official said.

To the northeast, the Washington-Baltimore area was preparing for 4 to 8 inches of snow. About a foot of snow was reported in the Richmond area, the National Weather Service said. In northern Virginia, the storm caused several multi-vehicle crashes along Interstate 81, state police said. Four people were hospitalized with injuries that were not life-threatening. - AP

Fire kills at least five in Brooklyn
NEW YORK - A deadly fire tore through a building that housed Guatemalan immigrants, gnawing gaping holes in its backside, partially collapsing the roof, and killing at least five people yesterday.

The early-morning blaze at the Brooklyn building is being investigated as a possible case of arson because it started behind the door of the first-floor entrance to the building, New York City Fire Commissioner Salvatore Cassano said.

Four people in the building were injured, including an infant and an older child who were tossed out the window by a woman frantically trying to save them. The infant was in critical condition with a fractured skull after bystanders below failed to catch him, officials and witnesses said. The other child landed on an awning. - AP

There was a familiar voice booming into the microphone during the Duke-Georgetown basketball game - that of Barack Obama. The president, attending as a fan, provided about seven minutes of nationally televised hoops commentary in the second half of yesterday's matchup at the Verizon Center near the White House. Seventh-ranked Georgetown topped No. 8 Duke, 89-77.

The Washington Times has appointed Sam Dealey, 36, a journalist and fellow at the conservative Hoover Institution, as its next top editor, the newspaper said yesterday.

Skating On Rough Surfaces

Nancy Kerrigan - Unlike those lucky Paris Skaters with their smooth wide pavements and even smoother wider roads, us poor neglected London Skaters aren’t so lucky, with our bumpy narrow pavements, potholes, overcrowded roads and miles upon miles of rough surfaces. Ok, so it’s not that bad everywhere in London, but for the most part it isn’t too far from the truth.

But if you follow this simple guide and combine it with regular street skating practice you’ll master skating on rough surfaces in no time:

1. Keep your strides short, maintaining a long stride on rough surfaces isn’t easy and can lead to some embarrassing tumbles.

2. Bend your knees more to absorb the impact, this will also improve your overall balance.

3. Go faster not slower, it’s much easier to cross a rough surface going fast than it is slowly, plus if you go too slow you risk walking in your skates and it will be difficult to get a decent stride going again.

4. Bring your skates back under your body as quickly as possible (Higher Cadence) after each stride, this again helps with balance and overall control.

5. Keep those toes loose and wiggly, because less weight on your toes means greater control for your skates and it helps you to move more naturally over rough surfaces.

6. If the rough surface is only short and you think you can cross it in one push, then get that speed built up and cross it with one skate in front of the other (aka the Scissor), you should also make sure that your legs are roughly one fist width apart, not too far apart or you’ll lose your balance. Remember to keep those knees bent!

7. Ultimately the only way to master rough surfaces is through practice. Rough surfaces are a major hazard though, so please be careful and wear your protective gear.

I neither hate nor love Apple, but the company tends to have those that are at each extreme of the love hate relationship. I have an iPhone I really like, but I am not a fan of Mac computers. If you are a Mac fan and have wished for more screen sizes in the iMac line, your wish may be coming true.

A rumor floating around has Quanta building a new 22-inch iMac computer for Apple that is set to hit this year. There are no hard details on the rumor, but the screen size would fit in between the two existing models.

The part that makes me wonder is that I can’t see the trouble of a new model being warranted for an extra half-inch of screen space compared to the existing 21.5-inch model. Only time will tell if the rumor is true.

The Law of Attraction, Goal Setting and Magic

Ramalan Nama - Ever since the movie & book 'The Secret', the Law of Attraction has gone from a little known tool used by just a few, to a term known by millions of people around the world. There are thousands of web-sites and dozens of Gurus all proclaiming there knowledge of this ancient law.

So, what do the law of attraction, goal setting and magick have to do with each other, what are the common denominators? Simple, the law of attraction states that what you focus on with desire, and hold in your mind as being true, will eventually come about. All of these terms are just systems of acquiring something, that you desire. It can be material, emotional or mental.

Why do some people use magick to achieve their goals? Why all the symbols and rituals? If you have any knowledge of goal setting or the law of attraction, you probably use one or more of the following methods;

* meditation
* visualisation
* affirmations
* motivational music or surroundings
* pictures and vision boards
* writing out your goals
* good luck charm or lucky item
* asking for help from God or the Universe

It has been documented many times that using more of your senses (i.e. sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch etc) when goal setting & visualising will increase your chances of obtaining your desires and anchor your goals strongly into your unconscious mind.

Seriously, a goal that is focused on regularly using positive emotion, most of your senses and firm belief in a positive outcome, will be much more likely to succeed than a few mumbled, half-hearted words.

Using magick, especially ritual magick to achieve your goals is a powerful tool. No belief in actual witchcraft is required. You can send your requests to any powers or source that you feel right about, gods, angels or just the infinite universe. Oddly enough, you can practice magick and be from almost any religion or even an atheist.

With ritual magick you can use costumes, props, symbols, music, incense, wine or food, images and of course, the spell or rite itself. The spell uses words or rhyme to set your goal. Using magick like this allows you to cover all the senses and really put yourself in a powerful place to ask for and accept your desires.

Back to the law of attraction and goal setting. If you're uncomfortable with anything at all to do with magick or spells it doesn't matter, you can still ad a little ritual to your goal setting and vastly increase the chances or receiving your desires and dreams. Just a few minor additions will turbo charge your attraction ability. Try some of the following;

* perform your visualisation at the same time every day (this sets a routine for your mind)
* use affirmations written in present tense, speak & repeat them aloud if you can
* play positive music that lifts you up
* use a vision board or something else that has images cut-out and pasted of the things you desire
* write out your goals using positive emotions and make them believable
* carry a good luck charm of any kind that represents your current desire, focus on it during the day to remind yourself of your goal
* try to avoid negative thoughts and people
* re-affirm your goal everyday for as long as it takes to achieve it

Whether you use magick or traditional goal setting techniques, the more of yourself that you put into it, the quicker you will realize your dreams. Never rubbish anyones method of using the law of attraction. Negativity of this kind will rob you of your own success and block your ability to attract. Use what works for you and drop what doesn't. Don't be afraid to try new techniques to boost your efforts.

The more you practice, the better you will get and the faster your results will come. At first you may think that nothing is happening, but believe me, as soon as you begin to focus on a goal you have already begun to attract it. What stops the process from finishing for most people is; doubt, negativity and impatience. Give it a chance and you will be rewarded!!!

There is No Google AdSense Magic Package

Google In China, You heard me right, There is no Google Adsense Magic Package! I know there are so many success stories of Google Adsense Publishers making waves online. The stories are quite interesting and tempting. Savvy online marketers are using such story to sell software and courses which they claim can reproduce such success stories overnight. Newbie Online Entrepreneurs are dreaming of becoming millionaires via Google AdSense publishing. They have heard the success story, they want their own share of the pie, but they want it now, not later.

Scammers are taking advantage of the ignorance of such newbies. This is one of the reigning SCAM in Africa. Too many African Entrepreneurs who are desirous of making money online are being swindled. The scammers offer digital products and services which they claim will bring the dream of the newbie entrepreneur into reality overnight. Who will not like to become a millionaire overnight? Unfortunately, it is all SCAM! Too many wannabe online entrepreneurs have parted with their hard-earned cash for such "GET RICH QUICK PACKAGES". Several months after buying such packages (which they expected to be a CASH COW that will keep generating income even when the owner is sleeping) they are yet to receive the first cheque from Google. They have been unable to generate $100 which is the minimal pay-out!

Now, many are asking "Is it really possible to earn 6digit income per annum from Google AdSense Publishing?" The answer is YES! But not via GET RICH OVERNIGHT MAGIC PACKAGES! Those instant solution packages are SCAM. If they work, nobody will sell them. Instead, the inventor will keep it as a secret. Ask around and see if you will get at least one person that have used such instant package and become a millionaire overnight.

So, what is the right thing to do? First we ask the successful Google Adsense Publisher how they got their success. We do not need to re-invent the wheel. We can learn from their experience thereby avoiding the mistakes they made. That will shorten the time period required to achieve success. One of such Successful AdSense Publisher that I will recommend is Lisa Irby. She produced a little ebook which spelt out the basic factors responsible for her success in Google AdSense Publishing (it is a good read for any beginner). Since the ebook is free and she gave permission for it to be re-distributed, I will be willing to send it to you via email upon request.

After reading that ebook, I will suggest you start a blog or website and open an account with Google as an AdSense Publisher. The earlier you start your own hands-on learning process, the better. You need skills and the earlier you start gathering experience the sooner your success story will come. There are many things to learn. There are great tools (some are free, some require payment) that will enhance your work and simplify difficult tasks. However, you still have a great role to play. None of those tools will take up your responsibility and make you a millionaire while you sleep. Wake up to reality. Nothing good comes cheap. If you are not ready to work, then forget about Google AdSense Income. It is not for lazy people.

Even though there is no Google AdSense Magic Package, you too can earn good income from Google AdSense publishing if you are willing to work consistently for success. Internet rewards patience. Wishing you success in your online ventures. Cheers

The Symptoms Menopause Changes Estrogen And Progesterone Levels

Caitlin Crosby, The symptoms of menopause are caused by changes in estrogen and progesterone levels. When estrogen drops suddenly, as is seen when the ovaries are removed surgically (called surgical menopause), symptoms can be more severe. Perimenopause begins several years before menopause, when the ovaries gradually produce less estrogen. Currently, hormone replacement therapy (estrogen with or without progestin) is the primary treatment for the symptoms and long-term risks associated with menopause. The work is the latest salvo in a years-long back and forth about memory, menopause, and estrogen. During menopause, the ovaries produce less estrogen than during the reproductive years. As a result, many problems women have with menopause relate to low estrogen levels.

Perimenopause is the span of time prior to menopause when the ovaries' production of estrogen begins to slow down. Women experiencing peri- and postmenopause have found that supplemental estrogen provides the hormones they need to produce and maintain physical and emotional well being. During postmenopause, the depleted level of estrogen can increase other health-related risks such as heart disease and osteoporosis. The lower amounts of estrogen that come with menopause will cause changes in your body. Other Therapies Women also can take selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) to help prevent some of the bone problems that can occur during menopause. Generally in the past when a woman advanced into menopause, a doctor would routinely prescribe estrogen or progesterone in various strengths. During menopause, it is believed that when estrogen levels drop, this decreases the amount of serotonin available to the brain. Many physicians recommend estrogen replacement therapy to: Reduce the undesirable symptoms of menopause.

At this stage, many women experience menopause symptoms (see below). Middle-aged herself, Northrup writes from experience and, more important, from her professional expertise as a physician who has treated many women and researched menopause. A population based survey of women's experience of the menopause. You may begin to experience signs and symptoms of menopause well before your periods stop permanently. Prior to the onset of menopause, a woman can experience major changes in her moods and attitude. Prognosis Although menopause is a difficult period for some, most women will experience menopause without long-term problems. Women in perimenopause transition typically experience abnormal vaginal bleeding such as erratic periods or abnormal bleeding patterns. Women who smoke experience the menopause at an earlier age than non-smokers. However, many women experience major life changes during their middle age including menopause and sleep disturbances, which can increase the risk of developing depression. In the past, menopause was shrouded in mystery and often viewed as a negative experience and a precursor to death. Most women experience menopause between the ages of about but some go through it years earlier or later, as well. "But some forty something women are beginning to experience menopause and many find their desire for sex declines," Gupta informed us. Some experience menopause problems that their friends never do. In the western world about 12% of woman don't experience symptoms of menopause and about 14% experience intense physical or emotional problems.

Women and physicians have questions and concerns about the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) during and after menopause. Like Sheehy, she reassured women that menopause encourages a journey inwards towards wisdom and serenity.%u201D Menopausally-provoked spiritual insight continues to strike publishing gold. Several generations ago, few women lived beyond menopause. In some women the early menopause occurs spontaneously. The same may be true of women approaching menopause, many of whom live a life filled with stress and worry. Malnourished women begin menopause about 4 years earlier than well-nourished women early onset of menstruation. Each week nearly 30,000 women of all ages and stages find their spirits lifted by the show's light-hearted look at menopause. While some women choose to live with their symptoms, there are many therapies for the conditions associated with menopause. Today, women can expect to live one third of their lives after menopause.

Ramalan Bintang China, The Chinese horoscope Ox, the Zodiac is classified as being stable and preserving. Amongst the eastern and western countries, the Chinese horoscope has gained a bit of popularity. We must say, when we look at the fast, the Chinese are the individuals that first predicted the future for people. Did you know that?

If so, then the Chinese Horoscope is the best way to go.

If you were born under the Ox symbol, then you are stable and fortunate. You may also be preserving. Typically, the Ox is a person that comes from a strong character and is tolerant. When decided upon how to accomplish a goal, they do not have any fears.

We used this wonderful creature a long time ago in order to work in our fields day in and day out, do those Ox people work through their responsibilities of life. Do they complain? No, they do not gripe or complain about what they have to do. They know what they need to do and they go for it, head first. They do not stop, until their tasks are complete. If you are born under this, then you know just how true this is. Right?

The year of the Ox comes around ever twelve years. It would be best if you check the calendar in order to find what the exact date on the year that it begins. Those individuals under this sign do not depend on their friends or anyone else.

Music As Treatment

Good Girls Go Bad Music Video, Music is very pleasant - even for those who are not particularly fond of it. It has the ability to relax the mind and body as well as generate positive energy. Music, as some studies show, increases the production of serotonin, which is responsible for the feel-good sensation in you. This is why many workplaces where they have strenuous work, introduced soft-playing background music. The results were amazing even when improvements were expected. Productivity went up by a huge margin and absenteeism came down. The inter-collegial relationship improved and overall the atmosphere of these workplaces improved considerably. As a direct result of these changes, staffing turnover also came down and with it the cost in training and orienting personnel in their jobs.

There is no special music associated with relaxation. What works with you might not work as well with another - so there are no rules or specifications here. There is no particular level of noise attached to it either. Some people find the drums (the louder the better) relaxing, some find violin or piano, some would rather enjoy a quiet classic symphony, while other would prefer hard rock. Anything goes, as long as you find it relaxing and pleasing to your ears. Themes also help sometimes. You would find at times that the lyrics of the song along with the music create a wonderful scene for you - tie it up with the visualization exercise. Be open and look for the combinations that work for you best. As I said earlier, there are no rules other than the fact that it should make you happy and relaxed.

In order to get the most out of the music de-stress technique, use the following steps:

1. Identify your type of music - take your time and choose the music that makes you happy. Do not stop at one, two or even ten. Keep adding to your collection of ‘favorite’ songs, one at a time - and classify them according to the mood these evoke. Sometimes, you would like a sad song more than a happy one, and sometimes you would enjoy a peppy one. Have the songs indexed for easy identification. It is important to mention here that when I say music, I do not really mean songs only. Sometimes, the term ‘sound’ is more appropriate. There are instances where people feel tranquility when hearing the sound of waves crashing in the sea or the chirping of a bird, or the sound of children’s laughter, the sound of someone’s voice, and so on. Owing to this discovery, many CDs are available today with sounds of nature - which are extremely pleasant and relaxing to hear, even if these CDs do not get onto your favorite list.

2.Identify a place - like all other types of relaxation, for this one too you would need a place where you could have a little privacy so you could enjoy the effects of the music without disturbing others. You could also dance if you felt like it. This could be a room where you can turn your stereo volume up and let the sound surround you, or it could a corner where you can enjoy a few minutes of solitude listening to music over the headphones. You could indulge in your favorite music even while you jog, walk or meditate. In fact, it was found that when music is combined with other therapies, it enhances the effect, quality and depth of relaxation.

3. Have an image/ scene to match your favorite sound with - it is not that you need to be stuck only with songs or sounds to induce relaxation. Sometimes, it becomes better if you add an imagery to it; something that would improve the pleasant feeling that the music generates. Let the music wash over you, while you visualize your scene in the mind. Enjoy the feeling created by synchronizing sound and vision and relish the beautiful feelings this combination generate.

4. Repeat it often - as with other methods of relaxation, in order to have it work for you, you need to repeat it as often as you can. Have a sound bath often, as someone put so expressively. Relaxation is a very vital part of your life; ensure that you allot enough attention and time to it.

Junus Aditjondro

Buku Gurita Cikeas akan dibeberkan Aditjondro Penulis buku Membongkar Gurita Cikeas, George Junus Aditjondro, akan hadir dalam diskusi yang membedah buku karyanya di Doekoen Coffee, Jakarta Selatan, Rabu (30/12/2009) sekitar pukul 12.00.

George yang dihubungi Kompas.com, Selasa malam tadi, mengatakan, ia akan tampil sendiri memaparkan apa yang dituliskannya dan menjadi kontroversi dalam beberapa hari terakhir.

“Besok (Rabu ini) akan ada diskusinya. Saya diminta datang untuk membedahnya dan menyampaikan apa isinya karena banyak yang belum bisa memperolehnya,” kata George yang ketika dihubungi sudah berada di Jakarta.

Ia mengatakan, sudah banyak permintaan untuk mendiskusikan dan membedah buku yang menyinggung keterkaitan aliran dana Bank Century dengan dana kampanye SBY-Boediono tersebut. Selain dirinya, ujar George, tak ada narasumber lain yang dihadirkan. “Hanya diminta menyampaikan isi buku,” kata ahli sosiologi korupsi ini.

Buku Membongkar Gurita Cikeas diluncurkan di Yogyakarta pekan lalu. Selang beberapa hari, buku yang sempat dijual di sejumlah toko buku itu menghilang dari pasaran. Hilangnya buku ini dari peredaran justru membangkitkan rasa penasaran masyarakat. Apa yang akan disampaikan George atas bukunya itu hari ini? Kita tunggu saja siang nanti!
