Photo essay: Wild Ko Surin
Many who come to Thailand are still looking for one thing and one thing only: that idyllic, isolated, unspoilt island. I've been to more than a few of Southeast Asia's pristine islands, but none have quite had the sparkle of Ko Surin.
While it lacks the creature comforts of more developed islands, Ko Surin, which actually consists of two islands — Ko Surin Tai (south) and Ko Surin Neua (north) — has remained a safe place for wildlife of all kinds both on land and in the sea, and is protected as part of Mu Ko Surin National Park.
Green sea turtles are regularly seen around the islands, small reef sharks are found every day hunting in the shallow surf at low tide, and vibrant tropical fish and crustaceans, including angelfish, parrot fish, and spiny lobster, dwell in the extensive coral around the islands. Even the mighty whale shark is often sighted near tiny Ko Satok, just off the coast of Ko Surin's northern island.
Make no mistake — Ko Surin and its surrounding area is Thailand's premier diving and snorkelling destination.
On land, it's common to see monkeys strolling casually through the jungle, and Surin is home to countless birds, snakes and a healthy population of monitor lizards.
While a small number of people are usually found enjoying Surin's stunning white sand beaches, they're far outnumbered by a colourful and rather quirky community of small crabs. Especially after dark, the beach can feel like a metropolis for the crustaceans.
Apart from a tiny village on Ko Surin Tai, the southern island is strictly off limits to anyone other than park rangers. Ko Surin Neua hosts the national park headquarters and campsites, but even here most of the island is covered in dense jungle and is only passable on foot via a rugged path, or around part of the coast during low tide.
Longtail boat is still the main means of transport around the two islands, and unlike nearby Ko Similan there is little speedboat traffic around Ko Surin. Despite a steady number of visiting tourists, Ko Surin retains a quiet, natural atmosphere. It's the perfect place both to forget the world for a while, and to experience the nature and wildlife of the Andaman Sea firsthand.
Ko Surin lies some 60 km off Thailand's west coast and is reached by daily speedboats from the town of Khuraburi. Many choose to visit on a day trip as part of a tour, but if time allows we'd suggest paying the minimum 1600 baht for an open round-trip ticket (this still must be booked through a tour company) and take advantage of longtail shuttles around the islands. These are arranged both by the national park and a handful of tour operators, and are a relatively cheap way to see the islands without giving up the freedom to spend a full day or two just lounging on the beach.
Along with a handful of comfortable cottages, camping tents on a couple of Ko Surin Neua's beaches are the only options for accommodation. Between the two sites, we found the more secluded Mai Ngam Beach to be the better choice for camping. Tents cost 400 baht per night, but act fast if you want to get here this season: the islands close to visitors between April 30 and November 1 each year.

Looks great David! Will try head there in my next break.

"Along with a handful of comfortable cottages…"
Ha ha, the cottages may be comfortable but beware, the beds in them are rock hard! Mind you, so is the sand under the tents if you don't bring a mattress. The last time I was there the bungalows cost 2000B/night, not particularly cheap and they were usually full. (Best to reserve in advance) If I remember right the tents were 300B for the smaller ones (still quite roomy) and 450B for the larger ones. If the small tents now cost 400B then does that mean that the bungalows are more expensive too?
How's the coral??? There was a major bleaching event in 2010. I decided to skip the Surins in 2010 and 2011 because of this so I can't confirm how bad it was but some reports said almost all the coral was dead. I'll maybe go and have a look see next season though. Did you notice any signs of regrowth?
# LAbackpackerChickon 24 Apr 2012 at 4:50 pm
I LOVE the Surin National Park! It's one of my favorite places in Thailand.
Thank you for sharing your pictures.
I am also curious about the coral. I went in April 2010 and apparently the coral was destroyed at the end of the year. How bad was the damage?
# Davidon 24 Apr 2012 at 8:35 pm
Hi guys, sorry for the late reply here. I'm no expert on coral but from what I could see it was still bleached and pretty lifeless. From what I understand it's not actually dead, just dormant, but if the sea water temp doesn't go down it will die eventually. That said, I'm not a huge diving/snorkeling enthusiast but the marine life I did see was still fascinating to behold, bleached coral or not. By the way, the coral I saw at the Similans pretty much looked the same — bleached — but I just did casual snorkeling and I've heard there are still areas of live and vibrant coral there.

Follow-Up Postings:
We'll have to include this in the information about next year's swap, but it's outlived its usefulness for this year, so I'll respond and maybe it will sink from the top of the page. :-) Already looking forward to Spring! |
I see DEAD posts! Thanks Alice, if further postings will make this thread disappear I'll make a small contribution toward that end. It's too bad that on GardenWeb you can't delete a post that has outlived it's usefulness. So...what about spring? It's never too early to decide on a date, especially since we have to reserve a pavilion. |
Is it time to start a thread? |

Common Mistakes Writers Make by Eva Marie Everson
Many times I have been asked, "Will you look at my manuscript and give me your opinion?" Or, "Will you look at my manuscript and edit it?" I did that for a while, at no cost. Until the day I realized I spent more time editing other people's work for free than I did writing my own, which was my bread and butter.
And with that, the editing arm of my company grew fingers.
I find editing issues in nearly every manuscript, especially those of new writers. I made the same mistakes early on. After discussing the situation with a few of my conference director friends, I decided the time had come to offer Common Mistakes Writers Make as a conference workshop. And so I did.
After one of those conferences, an editor wisely asked, "Have you thought about putting this workshop into the form of a book?"
I had not until that moment. (Insert smile here.)
What you are about to read is not rocket science. These pages are not filled with English Grammar 101 lessons (although one of the best things you can do for yourself as a writer is to find an old seventh grade English grammar textbook, read it, and complete the exercises).
I don't claim to be the final authority on all the issues, but I know what I know. This book is but a small collection of editing mistakes I often find in the work that comes across my desk (and sometimes by my own hand). It shouldn't take long for you to read it, but when you reach the end of it, I hope you ll have had some aha moments. I'm writing conversationally, by the way, because I pretend I am speaking directly to you as I write, my friend. I'm basically telling you what I think I know.
If you'd like, you can let me know what you think (that is, if you are nice about it) by going to my website EvaMarieEversonAuthor.com and selecting the contact tab.
Writing in Obedience – A Primer for Christian Fiction Writers by Terry Burns and Linda W. Yezak
This book is for the new Christian writer or the writer looking to decide how God wants them to incorporate their faith into their writing. How do we know what the Lord wants us to do? Are we being called to write or do we want to write for Him as an offering? What is required of the author using their writing for the Lord and how do they go about it? What do we really want to achieve with our writing, and how do we define success?
Proofreading Secrets of Best-Selling Authors by Kathy Ide
Learn how best-selling authors proofread their manuscripts to avoid typos, inconsistencies, inaccuracies, and errors in punctuation, usage, grammar, and spelling.
Proofreading Secrets of Best-Selling Authors, by professional freelance author, editor, and proofreader Kathy Ide, is the essential go-to tool for aspiring and experienced writers and editors. This book includes all of the material from Ide's popular Polishing the PUGS book (now out of print), with added PUGS guidelines and helpful tips from multi-published authors on how to catch typos and other common mistakes.
In Proofreading Secrets of Best-Selling Authors, Kathy Ide identifies the industry-standard references for books, magazines, and newspapers (which are different from the guidelines for other types of writing, such as college term papers). Using these official references, she highlights the most common mistakes writers make in the areas of punctuation, usage, grammar, and spelling (for which she uses the acronym PUGS). She also includes guidelines from The Christian Writer's Manual of Style for authors and editors who work in the inspirational market.
Murder of a Manuscript: Writing and Editing Tips to Keep Your Book Out of the Editorial Graveyard by Andrea Merrell
Winter 2014
Few things are more heartbreaking for a writer than giving birth to a manuscript and handing it over to an agent, editor, or publisher—only to see it killed in its infancy. How do you prevent your prodigy from taking a bullet to the heart? By learning the basics and making sure your manuscripts are as clean and professional as possible.
Whether you're a new writer or a seasoned author, the ability to edit and proofread your own material is crucial. Along with recognizing common errors, a writer should know the lingo of the writing and publishing industry, and have a good grasp of plotting, POV, crafting dialog, and so much more. Murder of a Manuscript will test your knowledge and give you the tools to polish your prose so the epitaph won't read: Here lie the remains of my first book. It never had a chance to show the world how wonderful it could have been.

This beginner's guide will walk you through some crucial ethical considerations, a formula for writing that works and specific ideas that will give your article flair.
Packed with solid advice, interesting examples and useful exercises. Particularly valuable is the huge list of story ideas .. sure to spark an idea in any creative mind. ~ Doug Trouten, journalism professor, Northwestern College, and FORMER director of a 400-magazine association.
Write To Be Heard: Write Like You Talk: Help With Voice, Character, Dialogue… and more!, by Aaron D. Gansky and Diane Sherlock
Learning one skill will improve everything you write. Ready? Here it is: Write like you talk That's it? Yes, that's it. But it's not as easy as it sounds. It's a skill and like any skill, it can be learned and with some practice, you can master it. What's in it for me, you ask? First, writing will be easier, less of a chore. Instead of fighting the page, you will sound like you. You might even find you really like to write. Who knows. You might have a story inside you that other people really need to read. Topics include tips on: Voice Character Plot Structure Dialog Conflict Sensory Elements Setting Beginnings Endings
Firsts In Fiction: First Line Hooks, Hints & Help, by Aaron D. Gansky
The fisherman may sit in his boat and contemplate bait—night crawlers or a lure? Maybe something fancier? What he never considers, however, is throwing a line in without a hook. He never thinks, "My cord is so well made, so strong and beautiful, what fish wouldn't want to wrap itself up in it and jump into my boat?" But countless writers do just that when they ignore the first sentence. For many, it's just sentence one to move them to sentence two—a means to an end, rather than bait. What they don't realize is that the first line's purpose is to compel the reader forward, to push them to the second, to create a sense of urgency to read on. For the writers who ignore this, there is no literary seduction in their fiction. There is only the story, which may or may not be read fully. Likely, the reader may not even make it to the second line.
Maybe you struggle with the first line, and that's okay. To a large extent, we all do. It's hard to find a line that's going to entice readers and propel them onward with eager anticipation. But crafting a stellar first line doesn't need to be confounding. A fisherman has many types of bait. A writer has many ways to open their fiction—character, setting, voice. More often than not, the best bait is the unexpected, the question-proposing line that skims across the surface of the water to attract impatient readers slogging through the river. The first line has become organic and has breathed, and the reader can smell its breath. These are the lines that live in our memories—the stuff literary dreams are made of.
You can use this book in any way you see fit. Nothing says you have to read it straight-through even. Feel free to skip around, browse each section, work on whatever you feel you need to develop. But the ideal reader of this book (at least in my mind) is going to have pen and paper handy, or at least be near their computer, so they can scrawl out a few lines as they go through each section. Bottom line—first lines take practice, and like any artists, we've got to write some real stinkers before we find the right one. Roll up your sleeves, and let's get cracking.

A Novel Idea: Story Structure Tips for the Break-Out Novelist, by Eddie Jones
The author is an acquisition editor of fiction for Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas. Writing conference students often ask what editors look for in a novel. The information contained in this book are the BASIC elements the author believes every good novel should include and in no way is meant to be a full-blown writing book. The intent of this book is to present the basic elements of writing a novel in UNDER 60 MINUTES. Estimated word count is 15,000. In other words, it is a SHORT book. (We keep saying this because some reviewers skim over the book's description and are surprised to find it is a SHORT book.)
We remember characters; we pitch plot. In Plotting Simplified you'll learn how to map your story using the "passage markers" that shape every story's journey. From introduction and motivation to your Lead's moment of maximum angst, you'll see how easy it is to develop a story line and keep your characters on the path to a compelling climax. Learn how to introduce the Great Disturbance, what 4 Questions you should ask of your plot, how to map-out your story, manage your key scenes, the 7 Keys to every good plot, whyWorry, Conflict and Disaster spells success for the writer, and how to introduce your Major Dramatic Question.
Been There, "Scene" That!
Making a scene is as easy as: ABCD. A good scene reveals information that moves the story forward (new goals, old secrets, hidden motives), shows conflict between characters (adds tension), deepens the character's development, and creates suspense (introduces a new wrinkle that leaves the reader hanging). Learn the three keys to scene summary, how to create memorable moments in your story, what 4 questions you should ask of each scene. Learn professional secrets and begin crafting great scenes in just five minutes.
Dramatic Dialogue
Dialogue can breathe life into any fiction or non-fiction story. In this class we cover: Scene & space – A scene is: Doing (Action) Thinking (Narrative) and Talking (Dialogue). Tools- A writer has a number of tools for story building: narration, action, description, and dialogue Stickiness – How dialogue sticks with us Tags – When to tag, when to skip tags & where to place tags Types – Direct, Reflective, Misdirected, Modulated, Descriptive, Breathless, & Compressed Tips – When to circle back, go silent, & add gestures Punctuation – Where to put those marks and quotes.
Creating Compelling Characters
Compelling characters are larger than life. They risk more, laugh often and love with passion. In this session you'll learn how to invent both likable and loathsome characters, winners and losers, heroes and villains. In this class you'll learn how to build motivation, focus flaws, and and explore the feelings or your characters. You'll see how conflict, crisis and consequences shape your characters. We'll show you how to find the right character for your story, motivate your hero and heroin, and how the "off-beat sidekick" can provide comic relief for your story.
Turning Personal Experiences into Parables: Writing Devotions for Impact, by Eddie Jones & Cindy Sproles
Have you ever wished you could write a devotion but didn't know how? Do you feel as though God is calling you to a writing ministry but you're not sure how to begin?
"When you write for God, and you really mean it… your work may never show up on the shelves at Lifeway. It may never find its way into bound print at all. But when you write for God, when you write with the heart of a servant…you may find that your words are only meant for the guy sitting next to you. If you can accept this…live with it…grasp it…then you can write for God as a ministry." – Alton Gansky
In Turning Personal Experiences into Parables, you will learn how to write devotions for church newsletters, periodicals, websites and books. A devotional ministry can complement the advancement of a building campaign, mission work and church projects. Learn how to draw readers in with the "Hook, Book, Look, Took" method: a time-tested technique used by best-selling authors. See how to "Write From Your Wound to Their Pain," craft stories with the authority, speak as a prophet of God, discover your writing ministry, learn the six key secrets every successful writer knows, and much more.
For some, a devotion may be their only Bible for the day, so learn how to touch hearts, teach His Word and change lives.

I recently planted some muscadines (2 Black Beauties and an Ison) in my back yard and as I've researched, I understand that I need to work on training them in the first couple seasons. When i look at diagrams and training literature, I see that most train a single trunk up to the wire and then train to have two cordons going in opposite directions. Simple enough. But it looks like the muscadines that I bought were trained by the grower to have two trunks? See attached picture. Should i cut one of the trunks away? Should I leave both and train them both up to the wire? Any recommendations on what to do given with what I have to work with. Thanks! |

Not a grape expert but if it were mine...yes you definitely want just a single trunk. I would remove the trunk on the left. If you already have your trellis up I would tie a string from the wire to that right side and start pulling it up to get it a LOT straighter. It will never be 100% straight and does not need to be but you want it to be a lot straighter than it is now. You also need to remove those side vines. You want to concentrate the growth up so you reach the wire and can then snip the vine to get your arms started. If the plant wants to uproot itself from the pulling upward you can lay a board across the ground next to the vine and put bricks on the end to help hold the vine down. Pull up gradually over the coarse of a couple weeks. If you do not have your wire up yet get the wire up lol......or a post or something but that zig zag vine needs some work. |
Thanks bamboo_rabbit! Time to start putting in some posts! :) |

And a tip....be smarter than I was:) Go with good posts the first time. I ended up having to replace my posts a year in with much beeffier ones..6" diameter round posts. It was double the work and I should have known better instead of using what I had on hand. |
I used 4x4x8 pressure treated posts and 9 gauge wire. It was overkill but I wanted it to still be there in 20 years. You will want to cut one (left) trunk. I don't know why the nursery left it like this. Also cut the side shoots off as well. I chose to use a four arm kniffin trellis. Some say that muscadines do better using only a one wire system (with one arm going in each direction) but I decided to go with a two wire system. If I find that yields are lower than expected, I can always cut off the bottom two arms. I applied 10-10-10 once per month from April through August. This is a Summit muscadine that I planted last year. I planted it in March and it was about 2' in length after planting. The picture below was taken in August. |

All of the other guys are giving you great info, just follow their advise. Just a note: most growers don't train their vines before selling them. That is why your vine has 2 main trunks. The best of luck to you. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Musadines And More
Wow, Poolecw, I don't think I've ever seen a more perfectly trained muscadine vine. |
Thanks garymc. I spent a lot of time with them during establishment. Too bad the nursery sent me the wrong vines. This vine ended up being some other type of grape (unknown). So, I am going to dig them up and order some more from a reputable muscadine nursery line Isons or Bottoms Nursery. |

The first front will be moving through the region today bringing rain and winds with it. The heaviest rain and winds will be in northern California today and in Curry and Coos county, but winds will be the story across all of our area today. Strongest wind gusts so far have been at Squaw Peak, with the strongest at 90 mph and Crescent City reported 77 mph wind gust, those are hurricane strength wind gusts! The strongest so far has been in Mt. Shasta at 158 mph, that's a category five hurricane wind gust! Strong winds will be with us today with several watches and warnings in effect, the video on the home page shares a quick look at the weather hazards in the area today.
With all the rain we'll see over the next several days means that flooding of local streams, creeks, and rivers is likely and thus the National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch that will go into effect tomorrow for Curry, Coos, Josephine, Siskiyou, Jackson and west Klamath counties.
This is going to be a strong storm system that will bring heavy rain and winds to the area through the weekend and should not be taken lightly. Be weather prepared and weather aware over the next several days because flooding, debris, structure damage, and power outages area all possibilities during these storms. Check road conditions before heading out and be prepared for road hazards, and be prepared for power outages by having plenty of batteries, water, a flashlight and a way to stay warm if power is out in the overnight. Find out more on what you should have at home for power outages here, and on the weather page watch the winter weather special segment on travel safety to find out what you should have in your vehicle.
I'll be updating my Facebook and Twitter with weather and road reports and photos from the next several days. If you have a weather report or a photo you'd like to share, follow me and post them on my page!
Thanks for logging on and stay safe out there!

Recent past performance ratings of HMOs predict good performance in the future
Research Activities, June 2009, No. 346
Although health plan performance measures remain relatively stable over time, recent past ratings in particular can predict how plans will perform in the future, concludes a new study. Such information about past performance can help consumers make informed decisions about whether or not to enroll in a particular plan, note the study authors. They looked at quality assurance data for six indicators of childhood immunization between 1998 and 2002 from a national database of both publicly and nonpublicly reporting health plans. The researchers used an approach that combined the six indicators into one index of quality and examined the stability of the rankings of this underlying index over time.
Nearly two-thirds of health plans ranking in the upper tier of performance in 1999 continued to maintain such high performance in the following year. Among plans that remained in this upper tier for 2 years in a row (1998 and 1999), nearly three-fourths of them stayed at this level in 2000. The probability of being in the upper tier in 2000 depended on the health plan's state of performance in earlier years. However, ratings from the recent past (2 to 3 years) were more predictive of future performance than ratings from the distant past.
The study also found that performance was not a permanent feature of health plans. More than a quarter of plans deemed upper tier in 1998 and 1999 ceased to remain there in 2000. Health plans that performed well over multiple time periods were most likely to be good performers in the future. The study was supported in part by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (HS10771).
See "Persistence of HMO performance measures," by Shailender Swaminathan, Ph.D., Michael Chernew, Ph.D., and Dennis P. Scanlon, Ph.D., in the December 2008 HSR: Health Services Research 43(6), pp. 2033-2049.

Ok, still do not see how it is a fair dual when someone can heal themself with magic and it is OK. But hunters, mages and the like can't heal themself. To me that gives healing classes a edge. Just my take. I do not duel that much.

This Shaman ask me to duel. I'm a hunter. We start, I send the pet on him and fight. When we are in the fight he is healing himself with spells. At on point I used a Potion to heal myself. I have no spells like that. In the end I win and he start wining about the fact I used a potion in the fight. Calls me a noob and such. It's ok to use spells but I can't heal myself with potion when my class has no spells for healing myself? Please.. people like this can make the game suck sometimes.

Steve Nash is healthy
Steve Nash was a part of the big blockbuster moves that shook up the sports world last season, but the two-time MVP ended up as another symbol of what went wrong. At 37 years old, the eight time all-star only played in 50 games last year, averaging 12.7 points and just 6.7 assists (four assists less than in his last year in Phoenix). After a season with injuries to his leg, back, hamstring, hip and back, Nash spent this summer away from hooping and stuck to rehabbing.
To make sure the veteran guard gets his rest, the Lakers brought in L.A. native Jordan Farmar to come off the bench with Steve Blake, a sturdy combo to keep the pressure off Nash and let the the now 39-year-old playmaker get in-game rest and, hopefully, not breakdown.

Jeff Immelt on His First Days Running General Electric

"It was my second day on the job, and I was in Seattle to speak at a Boeing (BA) conference. I was working out on the stair stepper, watching live on TV when the second plane hit. It wasn't the classic worry you have in an airplane crash—whose engine it was and such. This was different."

It took me a few tries to figure out what Jeow means.
Turns out Jeow is a lot of things, but mainly any sort of dipping sauce, typically made with char-grilled veggies. Sometimes spicy. Sometimes not.
It could be vegetarian or it could be made with crushed beetles. Or anything in between.
I'll skip to the chase: my version is beetle free.
And it's also really easy.
Recipe for a Simple Jeow
3 tomatoes
3 Thai bird chilies
1 head garlic
pinch of cilantro
And, if you're not vegan, add several shakes of fish sauce.
Roast tomatoes, chilies, and garlic over a campfire, on a grill, in a comal (flat pan available at Latino markets) over medium heat or in the oven until blackened and soft. Be sure to continually turn the garlic so it cooks evenly.
Peel and puree wit cilantro, fish sauce and salt.
That's it! Enjoy…
Simply fill in your details below.

I have overeager hostas taking over my front garden. I've already dug up eight 15" clumps (that's 15" diameter across new growth barely sticking up out of the soil) and have another six to go. Last year these plants were each about four feet across because we were new to the house and hadn't yet figured out what to do with Hostas. Now I know, and I'm digging them up. I'll have at least four gallon-size plants out of each clump I dig up and might be willing to keep four, so that means I'll have 20 or more to give away.
Let me know if you'd like to partake. I'm digging them up this weekend--April 21/22. I've posted picture below so you can see the varieties we have. |

tulips sold to the highest bidder at Alkmaar February 15th 1637.
Item 't lof-dicht van
Calliope, over de godinne Flora, etc.
In the Netherlands during the first half of the seventeenth century, tulip bulbs were sold at outrageous prices. Speculation rose in the year 1637 to an extent that bulbs were sold faster than they could grow. Prices spiraled to a extremely high level for bulbs of which neither buyer nor seller had seen the flower. This tulipomania got out of hand so badly that bulb growers themselves asked the government to ban the trade.
Many pamphlets were published by well-meaning, God fearing citizens, warning in strong words against this hype. This pamphlet argues against the tone of the mockery and pleads for the opposite: "Soo 't God geeft, moet 't ons behagen" if God gaves us the tulip to be admired and to try our luck trading it, why don't we take pleasure in it?
The Special Collections Department of has a substantial collection of these pamphlets.
You can search the tulipomania pamphlets in the catalogue of the Special Collections.
Or have a look at the Wageningen Tulip Portal for more information on tulip history and the tulipomania.

Dentist Shortage Looms in Some Areas of California
Posted on June 2, 2014
A lingering recession, the elimination of Medicaid dental reimbursements, and a glut of established dentists in wealthier, populated areas may explain why more new dentists are practicing outside California, according to a new policy brief from the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research.
"Good access to dental care depends on having a robust supply of new dentists in California," said Nadereh Pourat, PhD, MSPH, director of research at the center and lead author of the study. "We need a new generation of dentists to replace the many dentists who are close to retirement."
While California had more licensed dentists (35,000+) than any other state in 2012, the number of those licensed to practice in California who opted to reside or work out of state grew 6% between 2008 and 2012. The migration is especially noticeable among new dentists. In 2012, 86% of those licensed within the previous 5 years practiced in the state—a 10% drop from 2008. In addition, new dentists in 2012 made up a smaller share of the state's overall supply.
"There is a lopsided distribution of dentists," Pourat said. "They cluster in areas like San Francisco and Southern California, but don't settle in rural and underserved areas. Many areas of the state don't have enough dentists."
The report says that although economic conditions in the state are likely to improve, it is critical to motivate new dentists to practice in underserved areas such as the San Joaquin Valley and the Northern and Sierra counties. The full report is available at dentalaegis.com/go/id1059.

"It was the most incredulous moment that you'd never want to happen … I couldn't find [my teeth]! Did they fall into the soup? These things are so expensive they could feed a small village. I was like Lucille Ball on crack, diving under the table like a porpoise … Age sucks. And thank God my boyfriend wasn't there."
—Janice Dickinson, who we so wish would return for the next season on "America's Next Top Model," tells Page Six an amazing story about losing two false teeth while at a super shmancy restaurant in the Hamptons. In the end she found her teeth on the floor, washed them off, and popped them back her mouth. I dunno, I think her boyfriend—who is 24 years her junior—might have been amused. Maybe he would have sung a round of "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth?" [NY Post]

CAIRO - While employers are favoring the dominant ethnic Hans, China's Uighur Muslims are facing discrimination in the job market, allowed only in low-status and low-paying jobs, a new study has found.
There is a clear tendency for Uighurs to hold low-status and low-paying positions, Dr Reza Hasmath from Melbourne University's Faculty of Arts said in a study on its website.So they are generally enduring lower employment rates and wages than their Han counterparts.
Favored Hans Discriminated Against Uighurs
9/11 Deepens Anti-Uighur Discrimination
The study, published by the University of Melbourne, found a combination of a jobs market that favors the dominant Han ethnic group.
Where Han Chinese are over-represented in high status and high paying jobs such as in education, health and public management, Uighur are over-represented in agriculture, where over 80 percent of the group's working population is present, Hasmath said.
China's changing economic landscape made the situation worse.
While workers now have greater freedom to join their employer of choice, it has increased migration to urban areas.
Migrants rely upon their hometown connections to gain an entry into urban life and given the job discrimination seemingly in place, this migration negatively reinforces the problem, said Dr Hasmath.
Uighurs, a Turkic minority of eight million, have long complained of discrimination in the job market in favor of ethnic Hans.
Though they are a small minority of Xinjiang population, Hans control the employment market in the area.
Han migrants often get free transportation, insurance, housing and help in finding jobs or starting businesses.
Estimates say that there are 1.5 million Uighur workers -- the equivalent of half the adult males in Xinjiang -- are unemployed.
The rife discrimination has sent thousands of Uighurs into the streets to protest the government policies in their region.
In 2009, at least 184 people were killed when Chinese police launched a massive crackdown to quell Uighur protests.
The deadly crackdown drew worldwide condemnation, with Turkey voicing the most alarm by labeling the plight of the Uighurs as "a kind of genocide".
Government Problem
The study blamed the Chinese government for failing to deal with the increasing discrimination against Uighur Muslims in the job market.
From the government's perspective, a heightened conflict in Xinjiang is not something they want to deal with, as it is to one of the nation's largest and most important natural gas and oil reserves, and occupying one-sixth of China's total land mass, Dr Hasmath said.
Though economic incentives provided by Chinese authorities to Uighur Muslims have been helpful, they do not solve the problem, the study says.
Muslim Uighurs continue to watch the better-paying jobs go to Han Chinese, while the more labor-intensive, poorer-paying positions are assigned to them, Hasmath said.
Until this situation has been corrected, the current divisions will remain and the Muslim Uighur-Han Chinese conflict will continue to play a significant role in the history of Xinjiang.
Xinjiang has been autonomous since 1955 but continues to be the subject of massive security crackdowns by Chinese authorities.
Rights groups accuse Chinese authorities of religious repression against Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang in the name of counter terrorism.
Muslims accuses the government of settling millions of ethnic Han in their territory with the ultimate goal of obliterating its identity and culture.And analysts say the policy of transferring Han Chinese to Xinjiang to consolidate Beijing's authority has increased the proportion of Han in the region from five percent in the 1940s to more than 40 percent now.

Of course with the season after his retirement marked more by chaos than playoffs there would be speculation that long time captain Jason Varitek could return to manage the Red Sox. The rumors are out there with many in the Sox fan base either not liking Bobby Valentine from the outset or turning on him during the season.
The idea that Varitek could return to manage the current Sox roster is silly. Even after a trade that may register a 7.8 on the Richter scale he is simply too close to too many players on the team. Separating friend from employee would be difficult and unfair. More importantly Varitek needs managerial experience.
Varitek could get that experience in Greenville.
Flying under the radar of Red Sox news in recent days was a visit by Varitek to Fluor Field at West End to watch the Greenville Drive take on rival Asheville (NC) Tourists. Varitek took in the game from the owners' box. It's almost 1,000 miles between Fluor Field and Fenway Park, certainly a long way to drive just to see a single-A ball game.
Adding substance to the speculation was Cherrington's company while watching the game: Ben Cherrington.
At season's end when the Red Sox announce their annual organizational reshuffling, don't be surprised when a seat in the Drive's ownership box is given to Varitek.

Is it hard to calm down your female dog when she is in heat? We remember when our dog was in heat for the first time. It was driving her crazy, and even worse, it was driving crazy us, as well. We had to keep her inside for a reasonable amount of time, and, even if we let her out, we had to go with her. No matter the night or day.
You've probably been there, and maybe are right now. Can we hear some barking and whining in the background? It's not like there is a ton of things you can do to calm her, because it's the nature, and when it calls it is hard to resist. Or isn't it?
- Attention – there are several ways to provide an attention to your dog. This includes talking to your dog, walking, playing, brushing and other. Even sitting in a same room may work. Unfortunately, it may be necessary at night, as well. We have noticed it's easier to calm our dog when we invite her to sleep in our bedroom, or one of us sleeps on a couch, closer to a place whee she sleeps. It's a possibility to be near her, and talk or pet her if she gets nervous.
- Exercises – exercises are good. They help you (and your dog) to stay in shape. But most important, they help her to rid the excess energy. Dog, who had enough activities, sleeps better. Exercises may include walking, running, throwing a ball, training and other. However, outdoor activities, like walking, calls for extra precautions when dog is in heat. Don't let her run off leash, and if possible, drive her in your car to a distant area. Also, don't get her too tired. If your dog is totally exhausted, she will beg to gout out for air, will drink more water and eventually will ask out again, to relieve. However, if your dog is exhausted, and does not want to exercise, don't push.
- Chews – not every owner is able to spend quality time with his dog to calm her when in heat. Some dog owners even have to go to work, can you imagine? This is where chews come in play. Choose one that is not eaten in one take, but may be chewed, chewed and chewed for as long as possible. Bully sticks (yes, the dried out bull penis) and others of a kind would be a good choice. They last long, are tasty (to dogs, not humans) and natural. Try other chews, as well, and check which are preferred by your dog, and which are keeping her busy longer. Please note, real bones, especially poultry are not good. Bone removal from the throat or stomach of the dog is not rarity, unfortunately. As well as lethal outcome of allowing the dog to play with bone.
- Toys – toys are another alternative to keep your dog busy and give her an opportunity to focus on something else, other than the heat. Good choices are squeaky and food dispenser toys, that may be stuffed, so the dog gets a small amount of food every now and then, if she keeps playing. To keep your female dog's attention on toys longer, you may get more than one and take them away, when not needed.
- Medicine – When most of the above is not working, you may try herbal or homeopathic medicine. Like "Rescue Remedy Pet", "PetCalm" or similar. They are intended for comforting dogs in stress situations, like driving in a car, vet visit or holiday fireworks and should work for dogs in heat, as well. You may get them at pet stores, vet clinics and online. However, while vet visit is a single act, being in heat lasts a bit longer, and long term usage of these medications must be applied carefully. Make sure to read manufacturer's instructions, and consult a vet if necessary.
- Spaying – it is not a technique to calm your dog when she's in heat, but a way to prevent her from cycling, at all. If you are not planning to use your dog for breeding, we recommend you considering spaying her. It shall save you both a plethora of trouble. However, spaying a dog while she's in heat is not recommended and you should wait till it ends, before performing the surgery. Consult a vet if you have more questions.
Most likely, it gonna take more than one of the methods mentioned above to calm your dog during the heat. And regardless if you choose long walks, running, buying tons of toys for your dog or even medicine, we know the most powerful weapon when a dog is in heat is patience. Good Luck!
This post is a part of series about dogs in heat.

Sin City: Chocolate Mousse to Die For
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Forget counting calories -- it's National Chocolate Mousse Day.
To celebrate, TravelsinTaste has selected some of the most decadent mousse-based creations across the country.
Ginger Chocolate Mousse Cake at Japonais in the Mirage (Las Vegas) |
We begin with over-the-top desserts in sin city, Las Vegas. Japonais in the Mirage is serving a Ginger Chocolate Mousse Cake with raspberry sauce and gold leaf. Executive Chef Sean Collins told us his secret.
"We start with a layer of decadent dark chocolate sponge cake that we soak in our homemade raspberry sauce," he says. "We top that with our creamy, fluffy chocolate ginger mousse. We make layers upon layers and let it set overnight. What we get is a mini-layered cake that is to die for, but we don't stop there. We then spray the whole cake with a layer of melted dark chocolate and cocoa butter. And to top it off, we put more chocolate syrup on top and some 24-karat gold flake to give it the elegance it deserves." Phew. Meanwhile, Samba, also in the Mirage, is serving a Crunchy Chocolate Mousse Cake, a combination of dark chocolate mousse, and a layer of hazelnut and milk chocolate crisp. If you are more inclined for take-out, World Pastry Champion Jean-Philippe Maury's Jean Philippe Patisserie in the Bellagio is for you. You'll be dazzled with the breathtaking chocolate fountain at Las Vegas' first truly European-style pastry shop. Here you can pick up an Intense Petit Four: dark chocolate mousse, chocolate cremeux, and chocolate glaze. The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is not one to be left out. Scott Conant's D.O.C.G. and Holsteins are holding up their end with the Chocolate Mousse Bar with a malt shake at D.O.C.G. next to Conant's wildly popular Scarpetta and Chef Anthony Meidenbauer's Junk Food Candy Bar with milk chocolate caramel mousse, potato chip pretzel crust and malted milk anglaise at Holsteins. In Beverly Hills at Tres by Jose Andres in the SLS Hotel, you can dine on Chef Jose Andres' irresistible Chocolate Mousse either at your dinner table or in the Patisserie, which is centered on an open kitchen lined with a dazzling display of confections including not only the mousse, but also bon bons, chocolates, candies and more.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Bob Bruner
Employer: City of Birmingham, MI
Graduation Year: 1999
Current Position: City Manager
Biography: Bob Bruner was recently selected as the new city manager for Birmingham, MI. As the 8th person to serve as its manager, he runs the day-to-day operations of a community with over 20,000 residents. He is also the youngest person ever to serve as the city's chief administrative officer.
Bob graduated from Albion with a dual major in Political Science and Economics & Management. He was also a member of Alpha Phi Omega, the volunteer corps, and served as the music director for WLBN, Albion College's radio station.
"Being at a small liberal arts college allowed me to participate in numerous extracurricular activities and campus events," he said. "Attending another school would not have afforded me these same opportunities."
As part of the Ford experience, Bob worked in Washington, D.C., as a White House Intern. Under the supervision of Gene Sperling, director of the National Economic Council for Presidents Clinton and Obama, he worked on mergers and acquisitions, like the Daimler-Chrysler partnership that developed in 1998.
"Serving as a White House Intern was not only a phenomenal experience, but the internship and my Albion education have led to several career opportunities in public service," Bob remarked.
Since graduating from Albion College, he has completed a Masters of Public Administration from Wayne State University and a Graduate Certificate in Local Government Management from Eastern Michigan University. He has worked as a consultant for Accenture, assistant city manager for Ypsilanti, MI, and city manager for Ferndale, MI.
"Local government is the level that affects people the most. I enjoy my work because it is meaningful and connected to the greater good."

Dry Skin Lotion is a problematic toner for all skin types, and only minimally moisturizing for dry skin. Among its problematic ingredients are St. John's wort, lavender extract, and sage oil, which cause their share of problems for all skin types. None of these ingredients can control dryness or heal skin.
This aromatic Dry Skin Lotion completes your cleansing process. Alcohol-free, it helps control dryness while hydrating your skin. Healing Aloe and soothing Chamomile combine to refresh and soften for a true cleansing delight!

Pevonia is a spa/salon line of skin-care products that has been around since 1991 and, like countless other spa lines, speaks of its unification of natural ingredients with advanced scientific technology. Its vast range of products showcases all manner of gimmicky ingredients, including caviar, numerous essential oils, marine DNA, and products said to oxygenate skin. Many of their products make mention of being triphase and homogenized. Although that may make them sound special, those terms are common to cosmetics chemists involved in mixing various ingredients. For example, many moisturizers (and emulsions in general) have multiple phases as they are being manufactured. One phase gets a certain blend of ingredients, those are mixed, and then the next phase is added. Hardly anything to brag about.
You may hear aestheticians selling Pevonia products speak of the outstanding results the products provide, all due to the company's fastidious selection of holistic, natural ingredients. It can be a spellbinding speech, but the reality is that many of the natural ingredients Pevonia uses (including lemon oil and arnica) are documented problems for skin, and many synthetic ingredients are included and some are also problematic. Sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate and methylisothiazolinone aren't the least bit natural, and their inclusion in these products is further proof that Pevonia's self-proclaimed title of skin-care leaders in the spa industry is on par with McDonald's spearheading vegetarianism. Of course, the overall message is to not let yourself get caught up in any cosmetic company's grandstanding until you have examined the proof behind the proclamations.
As expected, not everything is plant-infused smoke and mirrors with Pevonia. They deserve credit for their mostly succinct ingredient lists and do have a handful of remarkable products that are, surprisingly, fragrance-free. This is definitely a line to shop very carefully, and note that none of their routines are recommended because not a single one of them has a group of problem-free products (and all of them omit sunscreen, yet several products claim to offer UV protection, which is dishonest and misleading).
