It's always good to have an assortment of reusable bags on hand, I keep a few in my vehicle, in my diaper bag, and clipped onto my stroller so that I will have one handy even when I didn't intend on needing one when I left the house. They can be used for everything from shopping to school books and the best part is that they stay out of the landfills.
The DayPack20 rePETe™ is the first product in our line of elite, pouch-able, lifestyle packs. The DayPack20 rePETe™ is an advanced, ultra-lightweight backpack made of durable, recycled PET ripstop fabric and is designed for the adventurer in us all. The DayPack20 easily stuffs into an integrated zip pouch, which turns into a hidden pocket when the DayPack is opened into its full size. With adjustable straps, flexible lycra bottle pockets and a unique closure system, this compact backpack is perfect to throw in your suit case or under your bike seat. The DayPack20 has a new sternum strap accessory (sold separately) for added support and stabilization.
Like all ChicoBag™ brand rePETe™ products, the DayPack20 rePETe™ is made of recycled content. This industry-leading DayPack is produced of 95% recycled content and lists the recycled materials used in production on the backside of the pouch. This lightweight DayPack is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, urban shoppers committed to the environment, and those of us dedicated to commuting by bicycle and reducing our carbon footprint.I love the assortment of colors and styles that are available from Chico Bag. I also own one of their Messenger Bags, and while I prefer the Messenger over the DayPack they are both of excellent quality. They are machine washable, durable enough for a heavy load and look great too. They even have super cute, limited edition Halloween bags available right now or you can request custom made bags too!

Vietnam: A long S shaped country that is still lost in time. From the hard living cultures of the far north to the Mekong delta and it's tributaries known as Cu Long - the 9 Headed Dragon, a spine made up of mountains, cities with towering buildings adorned with useless helipads and tunnels under the earth, enormous caves in her belly and a snaking, immense coastline.

In 1999 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a report on what might happen if a pandemic virus – similar to the relatively mild virus of 1968 – struck the United States. It estimated that between 89,000 and 207,000 people in the U.S. would die. Why so many?
John Barry responds in The Great Influenza: The Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague in History (Penguin, 2005):
"The reason for this high toll is the same reason that the CDC has concluded that, despite medical advances, more Americans are now dying from ordinary, endemic influenza than in the past: in 1918, 1957, and even 1968 relatively few people alive had impaired immune systems. Today a large and growing number of people do – primarily the elderly, but also cancer survivors who have undergone chemotherapy or radiation, transplant recipients, those infected with HIV, and others."
The figures in the first paragraph appear in Barry's fine book, and his endnotes give their source as "Modeling the Economic Impact of Pandemic Influenza in the United States: Implications for Setting Priorities for Intervention," by Martin I. Meltzer, Nancy J. Cox, and Keiji Fukuda. (See Figure 2 under "Results – Deaths.") Meltzer's paper has other information about the possible scope of a pandemic, including the percentages of deaths expected in different age groups.
Barry also writes that "the World Health Organization estimates that a virus akin to that of 1968 would, in today's world, kill between 2 million and 7.4 million people worldwide." The Washington Post reported in 2006 that WHO estimated that a virus akin to that of 1918 would kill 62 million people worldwide.
The CDC's projected figures are much lower than those in a United States Army War College Program Research Paper "The 1918 Flu Pandemic: Implications for Homeland Security in the New Millennium," which you can find easily by pasting the phrase in quotations into the Google search bar (though I can't seem to link to it). That paper puts the estimated death toll for a flu pandemic at 1.7 million Americans.

This past Thursday, December 10th, I had the pleasure of being the exclusive guest of Chef David Kolotkin at Prime Grill. As I've mentioned in past postings, this eatery is one of my favorite meat restaurants.
Chef David's special menu did not disappoint. I started the meal with a House Cured Duck "Prosciutto" served with light frisee, dried fruit, almonds and a citrus soy reduction.
I found it delightful, subtly tart, with the individual flavors coming to the fore with each bite.
The House Potato Gnocchi with Duck Sauce followed next, served with tomato in a delicate herb sauce. It looked blissfully tasty and tasted even better. It left a very pleasant, unusual, aftertaste.
The third course was Southern Style Veal Sweetbreads & Grilled Tongue; which came with home-style grits, collard greens and a piquant horseradish coulis.
The synchronicity of flavors was superb, but merely part of the buildup to the crescendo of the main dish, a 60 Day Dry Aged Reserve Steak. It was served with truffle scallion and whipped potato. Personally, I prefer my steak medium well done, but Chef David insisted I order it medium. He was right. It was tender, juicy and just perfect – in every sense of the word!
I sipped a very nice 2008 Teal Lake Shiraz throughout the four courses. When I first came the Chef asked me what I would like, I told him to surprise me. And he did, deliciously, scrumptuously so. The meal was fit for a very fortunate king or… this most fortuitous food critic.

It is the country's most downloaded social network application, with more downloads that the top social networking sites such as Weibo or WeChat.

Cross-posted from the CUNY Graduate Center Advocate.
If you followed the halting progress that the New START nuclear treaty made towards ratification at the end of last year, you know missile defense was a bone of contention. Russians fear its implementation while American conservatives fear the implications on national security of its lack of implementation. Nevertheless, Republican senators swallowed their pride and ratified New START while the Obama administration managed to win Moscow's acknowledgment that current U.S. missile defense systems were no threat to Russia.
Wait, missile defense is still around? "Star Wars" gained infamy at the 1986 Reykjavík summit when it became the security blanket that Ronald Reagan couldn't relinquish in return for the prospect held out by Mikhail Gorbachev of the abolition of nuclear weapons. Replete with lasers, particle-beam weapons, and space-based systems, hasn't it since been laughed off the national security landscape?
Besides the experimental nature of the weapons, it was obvious that, during the Cold War, a system that could stop Russia's prodigious ICBMs from raining down on the United States was decades from coming to fruition. But, thanks in part to relentless lobbying by the likes of right-wing defense think tanks such as the National Institute of Public Policy, once the Cold War ended, the defense establishment decided that, instead of turning a crisis — peace — into an opportunity — cutting back defense spending — it would turn the newfound lack of a crisis into one.
In other words, at least for the purpose of the missile defense discussion, it conceded that Russia's nuclear weapons were no longer a central concern of the United States. Instead, it reconfigured the concept of missile defense as a way to halt nuclear attacks from rogue countries with their starter kit nuke programs, such as North Korea and, ostensibly, Iran. Russia, of course, wasn't buying that. For instance, while the missile defense program on U.S. soil has been winnowed down to Ground-Based Interceptor missiles, they're based in the region of the United States in closest proximity to Russia — Alaska and California.
Meanwhile, in September 2009, President Obama announced that the United States was scrapping plans for missile-defense sites in East Europe, in favor of the sea-borne Aegis system. But the United States still harbors long-range plans to to install missile-defense systems just to the west of the former Soviet Union. Besides, though temporarily mollified enough to sign New START, Moscow has long doubted that missile defense is meant to intercept missiles from North Korea and Iran because it knows full well both states are a long way from fielding missiles that can reach Europe. Russia, of course, deploys its own missile-defense, such as the S-300 anti-ballistic missile. In fact, it had planned to sell the system to Iran until a recent round of U.N. sanctions against Iran forced Russia to abandon that idea.
The fundamental question that the controversy over missile defense evokes is: How can a nuclear power, such as Russia, object to the wish of another nuclear power, such as the United States, to defend itself with weapons intended solely to block Russia's weapons once launched, not target its soil and people?
In other words, how can a state be faulted for attempting to erect a shield to shelter it from nuclear weapons? Turns out, conventional thinking on nuclear strategy holds that missile defense upsets — "destabilizes" — the whole nuclear-deterrence apple cart.
Here's how it works. A state — Russia again — is considered vulnerable to a first, or initial, strike by the United States, during the course of which many of its surface (as opposed to those based in submarines, which are, of course, mobile) nuclear weapons would be wiped out. (This argument requires a suspension of belief that Russia would refrain from launching a counterattack on warning, that is, while the U.S. missiles were in the air, instead of waiting until they struck — still the only sure-fire method of verifying a nuclear attack.)
Russia's retaliatory force would be further diminished if much of it was destroyed while in the air by U.S. missile defense. (This requires a suspension of belief that the day when missile defense is that effective will ever come). The crux of this theory is that since Russia knows that under this arrangement it's going to lose missiles both on the ground and in the air it's motivated to build more to compensate. (Why Russian missile defense isn't considered destabilizing to America's "deterrent" is a question seldom, if ever, raised.)
That's what nuclear strategists mean when they make the claim that missile defense destabilizes deterrence — it disturbs the fragile "balance of power." I know: you're incredulous that in the same year in which we toast the Cold War's two-decade-old demise that the United States and Russia still relegate themselves to such old-school thinking. The other supposedly destabilizing characteristic of building a missile defense system is that it's a red flag to Russia signaling the United States plans to mount a first strike. (Of course, Moscow knows the unlikelihood of that scenario; it's just playing politics.
Ironically in the 1960s and 1970s roles were reversed. The United States feared Soviet anti-ballistic missile defense and consequently fortified its ballistic missile offense. But the two superpowers realized that it was to the benefit of each to refrain from running what's been called a "missile defense arms race." The 1972 ABM Treaty set a limit to missile defense systems and offensive warhead totals were reduced in kind during the 1980s and 1990s. But, in defiance of the common wisdom that held that reductions in nuclear weapons required keeping missile defense to a minimum, the Bush administration withdrew from the ABM treaty in 2002.
Again, it must be asked: why does the burden fall on the designated victim to keep its defenses to a minimum lest the aggressor augment its armaments? It's like saying the best defense is a bad defense.
Counterintuitive to a fare-thee-well, this argument provides ammunition for conservatives. First, though, we need to mention that many of those who support missile defense share Reagan's child-like fantasy of an umbrella that will shield us from the very same weapons that we're still allowed to wield. Second, consciously or not, many are only too glad to see the other side build up its offensive capabilities to justify the continuation of the U.S. nuclear-weapons industry.
Granted, steeped in game theory, nuclear strategy is not for everybody. But faulting a party for defending him or herself not only encourages passivity, it's a form of blaming the victim. Imagine holding someone who's been attacked responsible for his fate because, in the act of putting up his dukes or even just adopting a defensive crouch, he's provoked the bully into not just attacking with his fists but upping the ante and bringing a baseball bat to the affair.
In other words, those of us opposed to missile defense should cease and desist making the case that defending ourselves tips the nuclear scale. Not only do neither conservatives nor the public understand the argument, it provokes them. While polls on missile defense are few and far between, back in 2006 a pro-missile defense group found that over 70 percent of New York state citizens supported missile defense and in 2004, 84% of Floridians.
In effect, this approach resembles another mistake made by progressives: reciting the mantra that the U.S. presence in the Middle East creates terrorists. Even though, these days, realpolitik types ring in with this refrain as often as progressives, the reaction of conservatives runs something like this: since when does the United States worry about making enemies when (in their eyes, anyway) it's in the right?
But opponents of missile defense, who, by definition, are also disarmament advocates, still have a great fall-back position, right? When you get down to it, what good is this curtain of the heavens if it fails to protect us when we most need it — against states like Russia with formidable nuclear arsenals? In fact, as missile defense stands, it's questionable whether it would even prove effective against North Korea's nuclear weapons.
But making that case is walking into a trap. It caters to conservatives all too eager to stand in judgment of a state, because of its perceived potential for mounting such an attack, as insufficiently "rational" enough to be allowed to develop a nuclear weapons program. In other words, despite failing to sign the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), Israel and India, yes. Iran and North Korea, on the other hand, no. Worst of all, it encourages a recent tendency on the part of nuclear-weapons advocates to deny the link between nonproliferation and disarmament. States deemed unworthy of nuclear weapons are to be denied them, by force if necessary, without reciprocity in the form of substantive disarmament (beyond the tepid New START), as ordained by the NPT, on the part of the large states.
Missile defense is ultimately a more defensible investment than nuclear weapons. But it's best for disarmament advocates to keep their eyes on the big picture — nuclear weapons themselves, as well as the overarching subject of massive casualties. Missile defense is just a subdivision of nuclear weapons and when the rationale powering their acquisition runs out of steam, the umbrella of missile defense will collapse upon itself as well.
In the interim, one argument remains to which we can avail ourselves. If, however unlikely, we ever succeed in building the perfect missile defense, why would we need nuclear weapons any longer?

Industrial Manufacturing Food Hygiene Training
SGS's food hygiene training services ensure that your organization complies with industry-standard food hygiene regulations.
Our food hygiene and safety training minimizes the chances of food contamination or food poisoning, protecting both the public and your reputation.
Working with Highfield, a global supplier of food safety training materials, we offer training to food processors, retailers, restaurants, caterers plus various organizations involved in the food supply chain. If your company is within any of these categories, you have a legal obligation to:
- Implement a food safety management system
- Ensure that all members of staff attend appropriate food hygiene courses
- Maintain adequate food hygiene standards
We issue a food safety hygiene certificate to those attending our courses, which are organized into three levels of training:
- Level 1: Courses intended for low risk food handlers, who do not come into direct contact with food (e.g. bar staff, servers, kitchen porters)
- Level 2: Courses intended for high risk food handlers, who do come into contact with food, or those with responsibility for a critical control point – as highlighted within your company's Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) scheme
- Level 3: Courses intended for those in a supervisory or management position, who are responsible for food handlers
Training your staff and managers in hygiene best practices is an important step to developing a culture of food safety. Failing to do so increases the risk of food contamination and the public's poor health. In turn, this can lead to customer dissatisfaction, potentially huge legal costs and the loss of your good reputation and market share.
Contact SGS now to discover how our food hygiene training can help you avoid these problems, ensure your regulatory compliance, and protect consumers.

Boerewors is a South African sausage, the name is made up of two Afrikaans words: boer (farmer) and wors (sausage). Biltong, is a cured meat, also of South African origin. This past week I got to taste both, after I found them on an expatriate's website. Joburg Kosher, makes them both and is certified Kosher Glatt by the OU
David Libesman, arrived in the US in 1989 from Johannesburg ("Joburg"). Unable to find either Boerewors or Biltong, with the taste and texture he was used to, he finally decided to make his own. With the recipes given him by his father, perfected over forty years as a butcher, he finally produced these delicacies. His family and friends loved them and Joburg Kosher Foods, LLC came to be.
These Boerewors are marinated and seasoned, made from beef (including the edible casing!). The package includes four sausages, I grilled them in the oven and found them superbly delicious and very juicy. With a beer they were a perfect meal. I ordered their Traditional flavor, next time I'll try the Peri-Peri and the Garlic flavors.
Next I tried their Black Pepper Biltong. Biltong's look is reminiscent of beef jerky; it is typically made from raw fillets of meat and unlike beef jerky it is never sweet, the seasoning also differs. Biltong is made up of two Dutch words: bil (rump) and tong (tongue).
I had the Biltong by itself and liked it, I also tried it in a salad where it gave it a little kick that greatly enhanced the overall taste. I found both Joburg Kosher products very tasty and will order them again and again.

Tesla's mission is to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy.
Tesla was founded in 2003 by a group of engineers in Silicon Valley who wanted to prove that electric cars could be better than gasoline-powered cars. With instant torque, incredible power, and zero emissions, Tesla's products would be cars without compromise. Each new generation would be increasingly affordable, helping the company work towards its mission: to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy.
Tesla's engineers first designed a powertrain for a sports car built around an AC induction motor, patented in 1888 by Nikola Tesla, the inventor who inspired the company's name. The resulting Tesla Roadster was launched in 2008. Accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and achieving a range of 245 miles per charge of its lithium ion battery, the Roadster set a new standard for electric mobility. Tesla would sell more than 2,400 Roadsters, now on the road in more than 30 countries.
In 2012, Tesla launched Model S, the world's first premium electric sedan. Built from the ground up to be 100 percent electric, Model S has redefined the very concept of a four-door car. With room for seven passengers and more than 64 cubic feet of storage, Model S provides the comfort and utility of a family sedan while achieving the acceleration of a sports car: 0 to 60 mph in about five seconds. Its flat battery pack is integrated into the chassis and sits below the occupant cabin, lending the car a low center of gravity that enables outstanding road holding and handling while driving 265 miles per charge. Model S was named Motor Trend's 2013 Car of the Year and achieved a 5-star safety rating from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
In late 2014, Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled two dual motor all-wheel drive configurations of Model S that further improve the vehicle's handling and performance. The 85D features a high efficiency motor at the front and rear, giving the car unparalleled control of traction in all conditions. The P85D pairs a high efficiency front motor with a performance rear motor for supercar acceleration, achieving a 0 to 60 mph time of 3.2 seconds – the fastest four-door production car ever made.
Tesla owners enjoy the benefit of charging at home so they never have to visit a gas station or spend a cent on gasoline. For long distance journeys, Tesla's Supercharger network provides convenient access to high speed charging, replenishing half a charge in as little as 20 minutes. Superchargers now connect popular routes in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
Tesla's vehicles are produced at its factory in Fremont, California, previously home to New United Motor Manufacturing Inc., a joint venture between Toyota and General Motors. The Tesla Factory has returned thousands of jobs to the area and is capable of producing 2,000 cars a week.
The company is expanding its manufacturing footprint into other areas, including in Tilburg, the Netherlands, where it has an assembly facility, and Lathrop, California, where it has a specialized production plant. To reduce the costs of lithium ion battery packs, Tesla and key strategic partners including Panasonic have begun construction of a gigafactory in Nevada that will facilitate the production of a mass-market affordable vehicle, Model 3. By 2018, the gigafactory will produce more lithium ion cells than all of the world's combined output in 2013. The gigafactory will also produce battery packs intended for use in stationary storage, helping to improve robustness of the electrical grid, reduce energy costs for businesses and residences, and provide a backup supply of power.
Tesla is not just an automaker, but also a technology and design company with a focus on energy innovation.
Tesla is accelerating the shift toward sustainable transport and energy consumption by producing the world's best electric cars and energy storage systems. We hire the world's best and brightest people to help make this future a reality.
We work in small, focused teams that are agile, efficient and focused on excellence. The pace is fast, the work is stimulating, structure is limited and innovation is expected. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Tesla has satellite offices in Los Angeles and Amsterdam plus over one hundred retail and service locations around the world.

The Watergate scandal of forty years ago was too complicated to recount here in all its details. Suffice it say that it was a very big deal.
And while I'm no huge fan of George Will and was even less an admirer of the late Robert Bork, I have to recommend THIS COLUMN in which Will invokes Bork's last book to make the point that nothing going on in Washington today is nearly as bad as what happened during Richard Nixon's second term as president:
Watergate now seems as distant as the Punic Wars. Nixon, born 100 years ago in ...

101 Ideas: Kitchen lighting that sizzles
Six tips to improve task lighting in the kitchen:
-- Use recessed lighting to focus light. It's important to have a lot of light on work surfaces, such as countertops, stoves and the sink area, and this type of lighting can be aimed exactly where you most need it.
-- Under-cabinet lighting will focuses the light onto the countertop, which is the main work surface. This type of lighting is also an inexpensive add-on for existing kitchens.
-- Different light bulbs -- such as halogen, xenon and fluorescent -- can give your kitchen a completely different effect. Halogen and incandescent light are best.
-- In-cabinet lighting is a great accent. It can make finding what you need so much easier and can also make for a great look if you have glass-paneled cabinets. A bonus is that this type of lighting brings great illumination to the room.
-- Track lighting is the most multipurpose lighting. Each light can be positioned to focus on a different area.
-- Pendant lights are both decorative and effective, creating pools of light over surfaces.
Choose light bulbs with different beam spreads for different effects. Floods are wide and create a more general lighting, while spotlights work well to highlight specific items.

Creative Expression as a Coping Tool
"I feel left out because I can't participate in most of the activities that others can. I feel as if most people would think I was a freak. I don't share my emotions easily so nobody knows how I feel."
"Art was my passion; it's who I was. Then, in a heartbeat, everything changed. I found out I was in the 'severe' stage of PH and was 'knocking on death's door.' When I first got out of the hospital, I lost everything, including my desire to do so much as pick up a pencil."

How Has Life Changed
It is not easy to be a teenager: Your body is changing, you are learning to be your own person independent from your parents, you might be feeling the tug of peer pressure and you probably have a million things on your mind. If you have a chronic illness like pulmonary hypertension, you may feel fear and anxiety when the needs of your illness intrude on all the other things you are trying to juggle in your teen years.
So, what challenges do you face as a teen with PH? Independence is a big one. You are learning to be your own person separate from your parents, but you still need to rely on them for help in managing your disease, and sometimes your parents might be afraid to let you be too independent because they want to protect you and take care of you. Parents of teenagers with a chronic illness often find it harder than other parents to let their children be independent, and this can feel frustrating.
Fitting in with other teenagers can also present many challenges. You feel different: You might not be able to play sports, you might have to wear a pump, you may have lots of medication to take, and you may have to miss school or plan activities around doctor's appointments. Trying to fit in with other teenagers who do not face the same obstacles can add a lot of pressure to your life.
You can probably think of lots of other things that are difficult about your life as a teen with PH, and they can all add up to stress. The signs of stress can look different in everyone. Some people get irritable or moody, others get stomachaches or headaches. Lots of people feel sad or depressed, and when you are stressed, it can be difficult to sleep at night.
Sometimes stress can be good and encourage us to get something done (like when we're stressed out about a school assignment, so we pay extra close attention to it and work really hard to complete it). Stress is an emotion we may feel when our bodies are responding to different demands in our lives. It's our body's way of rising to a challenge and preparing to meet that tough situation with focus, strength, stamina and heightened alertness. A little of this type of stress can help keep you on your toes. You are ready to meet whatever challenge comes, and then afterwards, your nervous system quickly returns to normal and you can relax.
Other times, stress can be really bad for us. Long-term stressful situations – like situations where you are constantly dealing with the demands of a chronic illness – can produce a lasting, low-level stress that's hard on you and your body. Your nervous system remains on high alert, and you can't relax.
Since our bodies are not meant to be on high alert all the time, we need to find ways to deal with the stress and relax. What can we do?
Moving Forward: Finding Ways to Relax through Creative Expression
Think of stress as a boiling pot on a hot stove. The steam is building up, and you need to find a way to release the steam before the water boils over or the pot explodes. That's what we need to do with stress – find a way to release it before we find ourselves with a stress overload. Keep in mind that sometimes we do need to look to others like our parents or our doctors to help us deal with stress. If you are about to boil over or explode with too much stress, you might need to ask for help.
At other times, however, we can deal with stress on our own. Many teenagers in the PH community turn to creative activities to help them blow off steam and clear their minds. You can listen to or create music, journal and write about your feelings, meditate, create artwork or write poetry. You can be as creative as you want to be! Studies show that any type of creative expression can improve your physical, mental and emotional well-being by helping you to relax. When you engage in calming activities, you trigger your body's relaxation response; it's your body's opposite of stress, and it creates a sense of well-being and calm.
Here are some examples of creative techniques that you can use to help you get started and trigger your body's relaxation response:
Music: Music can be therapeutic and stress relieving, whether you listen to it or create it yourself. Jack, age 15, loved to play baseball, but when he received his PH diagnosis in 2009, he had to give up the sport. "I thought my whole life was over," Jack says. "I thought I was really restricted." Instead of focusing on what he could not do, Jack discovered music and began taking guitar lessons. He wrote his first song in May 2011. "I was surprised how easy it was to express myself through lyrics," he says. "It was pretty easy to come up with lines." The song, "You Are My Everything," became a hit, and Jack was asked to perform it live in November 2011 in New York City alongside hip hop artist Proclaim.
Journaling and writing: Becca, age 19, finds writing to be a therapeutic form of expression. She says, "I want to take my feelings and gift for the written word and transform lives and bring awareness to this disease." Through her writing, she has even found ways to educate her classmates about PH and the way she feels as a patient: "For English class we had to write a poem about food. I chose my favorite place to eat, which is KFC. Since I am on a low salt diet because of my PH, I decided that it would have a lot of emotion behind it, along with the memories of when I used to be able to eat it." Becca writes regularly on her blog, My Life as a Chronically Ill Teen.
Artwork: Expressing yourself through art – such as painting, drawing sculpting – can give you an outlet for feelings that you just cannot put into words. Katie has always been an artist. When she received her PH diagnosis at age 19, she discovered that art could also be therapeutic for her: "Art has a way of freeing the spirit and bringing peace and tranquility to the soul. It is a non-judgmental form of expression. It accesses the parts of our brain that feel but cannot use words. Everyone can experience the amazing healing qualities that come from making art, whether you consider yourself an artist or not."
Cartoons: Nicole, age 17, created a cartoon character named Alfie to help her deal with her PH. She says, "My message to all is that even though you're sick, that doesn't mean you can't do anything. It doesn't mean that you have to isolate yourself. It doesn't mean that you are a freak. It doesn't mean you have to give up. When I feel alone, I think of those others who have chronic illnesses, and I feel better knowing that they know how I feel and that gives me hope."
Photography: Julie, age 15, has been living with PH for four years. She enjoys taking pictures and finds photography to be both relaxing and therapeutic: "By doing photography, I forget about PH and the difficulties of life, and I focus on what's in front of the lens. I'm capable of pausing time and capturing the wonders of the world."
Meditation: While meditation is not an outward form of creativity in the same way as the previous examples, meditation can help calm your mind and allow you to refocus your energy to tap into your creative side. Try to make meditation part of your daily routine (like washing your hair or brushing your teeth). Sit quietly for a few minutes each day. Take deep breaths and try to clear your mind. If thoughts come into your mind, that's okay. Acknowledge them, and then send the thoughts back out again. If music helps you, turn on some quiet, soothing tunes as you meditate. Sometimes, when you are first learning to meditate, it might be helpful to follow along with a meditation recording. Your local library may have meditation recordings.
These are just a few of the many ways you can use creative outlets to express yourself and relieve stress. There's no wrong way to be creative. As long as you are enjoying the experience and feeling more relaxed, you are doing it the right way. What types of creative activities do you participate in?

Chicken, slow baked over rice and bacon, in a flavorful cream sauce.
Bacony Chicken and Rice BakeThis chicken and rice dish is one of my personal favorites and a site favorite and it is awesome! Now I know that we've all had the usual condensed soup with rice and chicken bake, but this one is just a bit different. It's loaded with flavor from the bacon and seasonings ... I'm tellin' ya the rice is just over the top! You really gotta try it.
It's my adaptation of a recipe by Her Majesty Jill Conner Browne, THE Sweet Potato Queen, from her book Sweet Potato Queens' Big-Ass Cookbook (and Financial Planner). I love Jill, well first, cuz she's a Mississippian - matter of fact, she's from Jackson, our state capitol - but I think that I love her the most because she loves food. Especially bacon. And butter. In other words, she ain't afraid to eat! Gotta love a gal like that.
I like bone in chicken thighs here, and I wrote this recipe for only 4 of them for me and The Cajun, however, I sometimes do increase it to a 9 x 13 inch pan. You can use a whole chicken, large bone-in breasts, all thighs, leg quarters, or thighs and legs - pretty much whatever your heart desires, though I don't recommend boneless, skinless breasts. Here's what I do to increase the recipe.
Lay out 6 to 8 slices (or more) of bacon in the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Sprinkle 1 cup of long grain, raw rice on top of the bacon. I do not double the rice. Add chicken on top of rice and season as in the recipe. I don't double any of the seasonings either. Mix 2 cans of cream of chicken soup, instead of just one, but still only use 1 cup of water, mixed with the remaining seasonings. Cover tightly with one layer of aluminum foil, repeat with a second layer. Bake as directed. This works out perfect.
It cooks low and slow so the chicken is falling off the bone tender, and it and the rice are so full of flavor it's a sin! One thing to note, especially if you do increase the size, and especially if you are not certain your oven is accurate - you may need to go longer on the time. Check the rice in the middle and if it is still not done, recover it, and return it to the oven.
Give it a try sometime - I just know you'll love it!! Here's how to make it.
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F. We start off with that bacon. In a 9 x 9 square I used 4 slices, cut in half, but whatever pan you're usin' just make sure that it covers the bottom.
On top of that add 1 cup of uncooked rice. Yes. I said uncooked. Don't you especially love that?!
Now lay whatever chicken you're using on top of the rice. I don't recommend pulling the skin off of the chicken - I think it really needs to stay on there to flavor the dish, but you can certainly pull it off when you eat it.
Now sprinkle the chicken with a bit of salt and pepper.
And some paprika and Cajun seasoning - to taste - a lot or a little, however much you like.
Now in a separate bowl, dump in one can of cream of chicken soup. Yes, you can use the reduced fat version if ya like. Add a cup of water to that. Then add a sprinkle of garlic salt, a pinch of nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of oregano, and a palmful of dried parsley.
Whisk that all together real good.
And pour it all over the top of the chicken - don't stir anything up though!
Cover tightly with heavy duty aluminum foil or use a double layer of regular foil, adding one layer and sealing it, then another layer and sealing it separately. Put it in the upper or middle level of your oven at 300 degrees F and bake for 2 hours and don't check on it, don't peek at it, just leave it to cook.
Now you might be thinking you'll up the temp and go for a shorter cooking time. Don't do it. You'll end up having to cook it this long anyway for the rice to be cooked and then you'll burn up your bacon. Ask me how I know. This might work for the crockpot, though I can't attest to the success of that either since I've not done it that way. Cooking the chicken itself would probably work fine, but since the bacon in this baked version crisps up in the bottom of the baking dish, so that you get bits and pieces of it as you scoop out the rice, I'm not sure how that would work out in a crockpot. I've also never had much success with rice in a crockpot either. This dish is so good just as it is written, that I'm of the thinkin' that if it ain't broke, don't go tryin' to fix it!
After 2 hours (or a little bit longer if you double this), carefully uncover, check the rice in the center to see if it is cooked through. If not, cover it back up and let it cook a little bit longer. When it's ready, smell the wonderful goodliness of it and serve it up. Be sure to scoop down into that rice and snag some of that bacon when you plate it though for sure!!
Doesn't that look so good? It is just so melt-in-your-mouth-tender and loaded with flavor that I swear you are gonna pick that bone up and just chew it dry!!
And the rice. Oh my goodness, the rice. It is just so delicious you will roll your eyes back in your head. I swear I could just eat a whole plate of the rice!!! Hope you like it too - now go make some and let me know what you think.

Recipe: Bacony Chicken and Rice Bake©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 2 hours
Total time: 2 hour 10 minYield: About 2-4 servings
- 4 slices thin bacon, cut in half
- 1 cup long grain, uncooked rice
- 4 chicken thighs
- Couple pinches Kosher salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper grinder
- Couples shakes paprika
- Couple dashes Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama)
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup water
- Sprinkle garlic salt
- Pinch nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1-1/2 tablespoons dried parsley
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Cut 4 slices of bacon in half and layer them on the bottom of a 9 x 9 inch baking dish. Pour the rice on top. Add the chicken over the rice and season with the salt, pepper, paprika, and Cajun seasoning. In a separate bowl add the cream of chicken soup, water, garlic salt, nutmeg, oregano, and parsley and whisk together well. Pour over the chicken. Cover tightly with heavy duty foil, or add one layer of regular aluminum foil, seal tight and repeat with a second layer. Bake in the middle or upper part of your oven, at 300 degrees F for 2 hours - without peeking!
Cook's Notes: If you're thinking of this as a traditional chicken and rice dish with crispy skin, this is not that. This is a covered baked chicken. Okay to use lower fat cream soups, however, do not use a thick cut bacon. Use a regular thin sliced bacon for best results, however the bacon is primarily for flavor and generally will not be crisp. You may parcook it if you like. If you use the recipe as is in a 9 x 9, but only white meat chicken pieces, and especially boneless, skinless breasts, I would also suggest adding some chicken broth to make up for the fat loss/moisture from the dark meat.
How to Double: This is what I do. Use 6 or more slices of bacon in the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Sprinkle 1 cup (I do not double the rice) of long grain, raw rice on top of the bacon and add chicken on top of rice. Season as above in the recipe text. Mix 2 cans of cream of chicken soup, with 1 cup of water and remaining seasonings and pour over top. Cover tightly with one layer of aluminum foil, add a second layer of foil and seal tight. Bake at 300 degrees F for 2 hours.
Tip: A reader passed this tip on to me and I think it's a great idea. When you mix up the soup, reserve about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the soup mix. Mix all of the rice with the remaining soup mix and pour over the bacon. Add the meat on top, then pour the reserved soup all over the top of the meat. This helps to ensure that the rice is cooked through and flavored well. Thanks CW!

Dr. Arnold Peter Weiss, a prominent Rhode Island hand surgeon and dealer in ancient coins, pleaded guilty in New York City Tuesday to three counts of attempted criminal possession of ancient coins he believed had been recently looted from Italy.
"Attempted" possession because the coins in the case were not actually looted — nor ancient. In Tuesday's court hearing, the New York District Attorney's office revealed that all three coins in the case were in fact modern forgeries.
Weiss was arrested at the Waldorf Astoria hotel on January 3rd while trying to sell ancient coins at the 40th annual New York International Numismatic Convention. According to the criminal complaint, Weiss believed at least one of the coins had been recently looted and smuggled out of Italy. "There's no paperwork, I know this is a fresh coin, this was dug up a few years ago," the complaint quotes Weiss telling a confidential informant. "This was dug up two years ago. I know where this came from." Weiss told an undercover investigator that he also knew the coins belonged to the government of Italy, which claims state ownership of all antiquities found since 1909.
On Tuesday, Weiss entered a guilty plea to the three misdemeanor counts and was sentenced to 70 hours of community service, which he will serve as a physician treating under-insured patients in Rhode Island. He will pay a $1,000 fine for each of the three coins in the case and forfeit another 23 ancient coins seized from him at the time of his arrest.
The court also required Weiss, the former treasurer of the American Numismatic Society, to write a detailed article in the society's magazine detailing the widespread practice of dealing in coins with unclear ownership histories. It will describe the corresponding threat to the archaeological record and propose solutions for reforming the coin trade. In a statement, a spokeswoman for the Manhattan District Attorney's office said, "Thanks to today's disposition, the article to be written by the defendant for a coin trade magazine will raise needed awareness about unprovenanced coins, and will promote responsible collecting among numismatists." We've asked Weiss' attorney for a comment and will post anything we receive.
We were the first to report the details of the criminal complaint here, and have written about Weiss' ties to the Rhode Island School of Design, where he was board chairman and a prominent donor; to Harvard University Art Museums, where he was a member of the collections commitee from 2006 until his arrest in 2012; and to the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, where one of his partners at the Swiss coin dealership Nomos AG got his start. We also reported the case had started with federal investigators with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
We'll have more information about the case and its implications soon.
UPDATE: The DA's office informs us that the New York Post report that the fake coins would be destroyed is inaccurate. The coins will be preserved and the investigation is on-going.
UPDATE: Paul Barford makes a good case that the fake coins seized by the DA should be retained for future investigations
rather than destroyed, as the court has ordered. [See clarification from DA's office above.] Given the facts of this case, numerous private collectors and museums that did business with Weiss must be wondering how many other ancient coins that passed through his hands could also be forgeries.
UPDATE:Rick St. Hilaire has an interesting analysis of the legal implications of the Weiss case, calling it "a breakthrough for the successful application of state criminal laws, as opposed to federal criminal laws alone, to combat international cultural property trafficking."
NOTED: Peter Tompa, the numismatist and lobbyist for coin collectors at Cultural Property Observer, has yet to mention the Weiss verdict — or the existence of the case at all. The Ancient Coin Collector's Guild has not mentioned the verdict either. Paul Barford has a longer list of ancient coin-oriented websites with no mention of the verdict. Why?
NOTED: Larry Rothfield has some good questions about the next steps in what the DA's office has described as "an on-going investigation."
