Thanks for fighting back!
As he surges in the polls with 12 days left, they are trying to smear Eric Griego with whatever they can -- no matter how absurd.
Can you chip in $10 to help Eric fight back? Together, we can send a signal that if you try to smear progressives, you'll just make them stronger.

Datsyuk has been uninspired in the shootout this season. He has tried pretty much the same old stuff. I miss his unpredictability.
Also whos idea was it to have Quincey and Cola on the ice at the same time? and against Toews too. I can't count the number of times I have seen a goal go in with a Red wing dman laying on the ice in front of howard.

Re: Schichttorte
You can buy corn flour as it is also gluten free. I also questioned the oven temperature, I baked it at 450-480 degrees and the bottom of the cake was burnt.

Re: Schichttorte
I used vanilla extract added to the egg yolks and used vanilla sugar(place a vanilla bean in a container of sugar)

Re: Schichttorte
After making the schichttorte, it was okay except for determining what to set the oven at. What is the equivalent of setting a British Grill on High to an American oven setting? I set the oven at 450-480 degrees but the torte is very dry & burnt on the bottom.

I so appreciate not having to endure the constant interruption of commercial done

Alessandra has completed online and offline ID verification.
Before the holiday Alessandra was always very quick to respond to my questions and queries by text/ email. The host provided lots of useful info prior to our arrival although finding the house in the village wasn't very easy without the help of Valeria and another neighbour who came out to guide us because we'd said by text when we were likely to arrive. (It's very much last house up a steep track which is picked up to the right, once you've gone through most of the village). Shopping (food/bottled water) on the way from the airport to the house (Olbia airport) was relatively straightforward. The house itself has a brilliantly stocked kitchen, slightly confusing rubbish/ recycling arrangements and there was an unfortunate breakage (broken loo seat which had not been fixed) but overall the views were fantastic, cold shower (outdoor) great for hot afternoons/ refreshing starts and the online pictures we found to be very accurate to what is there. It was nice to be able to watch cable, eat on the terrace, watch DVDs we took and generally chill out. The area is beautifully quiet whilst also being very close to lots of good small shopping centre, excellent beaches and interesting sites (ancient archeology, museums and fun ice cream parlours, big rocks, etc!) overall I would love to return- there's so much more to explore and the price of the accommodation was very reasonable considering what we had available. Alessandra said as we were leaving she plans to head to the house this week to fix the things we flagged as broken. Great job, thank you greatly
Alessandras home was the perfect start for our sardinia trip. In front the view above the coast, behind deserted nature. A 15 minutes trip to the most beautifully beaches ... we highly recommend this cosy place!
Wir waren 14 Tage auf Sardinien unterwegs und Alessandras Haus war unsere letzte von 3 Stationen. 5 Tage durften wir dort verbringen und haben diese Zeit sehr genossen. Das sehr schöne, gemütliche und detailverliebt eingerichtete Haus hat ein wunderbares Panorama. Man schaut weit in die Landschaft bis zur Küste. Direkt vom Haus kann man auf Entdeckungstour gehen und kleine Wanderungen unternehmen. Die Ruhe war sehr erholsam – genau das Richtige um sich zurückzuziehen und zu entspannen. Gleichzeitig sind Ausflugsziele, Strände, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restaurants, ohne Probleme und schnell, mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Alessandras Haus liegt tatsächlich ganz oben und ist das letzte Haus an der Strasse – also, auch noch die letzte Steigung hinauf fahren. Die Kommunikation mit Alessandra verlief ohne Probleme und wir hatten mit Valeria (Hausverwalterin) einen Ansprechpartner vor Ort. Valeria spricht kein oder wenig Englisch aber das war überhaupt kein Problem. Einige Anmerkungen hatten wir uns laienhaft auf italienisch übersetzt :) Ansonsten ist Alessandra auch per Telefon/SmS erreichbar. Fazit: Sehr empfehlenswert! Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit.
We stayed in Alessandra's house for the second time and will certainly return a third time next year - I think this statement illustrates best how much we felt at home again. We can fully agree to all positive remarks that other visitors already made, no need to repeat the obvious, this location provides a superb recreation factor! Thank you Alessandra and Valeria!
Die Unterkunft war genauso wie sie beschrieben wurde. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen und wir haben uns dort wohlgefühlt. Wir hatten direkt vor Ort einen Ansprechpartner und dieser war auch SOFORT zur Stelle wenn wir Fragen oder kleine Probleme hatten. Die Wohnung war sauber und gut ausgestattet. Von der Terrasse aus hat man einen wunderbaren Blick ins Tal und zur Küste hin aber auch genauso in die unberührte Natur zu den Schafen. Alles in allem ein wunderschöner Urlaub und traumhafte Strände. Die Lage des Ortes bietet einen guten Ausgangspunkt für den Norden und den kompletten Osten der Insel zu erkunden. Einfach herrlich und wir kommen wieder .................................
On our trip around the island of Sardenia Alessandra's house was our first stop - we (a couple with a small child) stayed 4 days. Location: 1+ / A+ Wonderful location for an relaxing holiday: Tiriddò - the mini village - with no shopping possibilities at all - that was absolutely ok for us, as we were travelling by car anyway (tip: Auchan, Olbia). The view from the two front terraces was spectacular and stunning! Thanks to the fresh breeze from the ocean we didn't miss an air condition at all. The house was very quiet, no neighbor or road noises. Finding the house was a bit tricky, but Valerie guided us by mobile phone... Don't visit this place with a (way too) lowered car = bumpy road. Features: 1+ / A+ Alessandra has a great interior taste - typical Sardinian decoration. The kitchen was very well equipped. The nice garden had fresh herbs like rosmary, which we used for a pasta (yummy!). We didn't miss anything: washing machine, TV (we didn't turn it on at all, but it was there), magazines, lots of storage options, bed linens, towels, laundry and rinsing agent, even small versions of soap, shampoo, conditioner, body milk, toys for our daughter, etc. were provided. However, we didn't use the tiny shower in the bathroom as we preferred the 'open air' shower on the rear terrace. BTW: We didn't run out of water although we took a shower daily. Cleanliness: 2- / B- It was clean and tidy, but the kitchen accessories were sticky, so we only cooked once. The bed linen, bathroom, floors, etc. were perfectly clean. Contact: 1+ / A+ Alessandra was a great host. She prepared everything perfectly for our visit and Valerie (her cleaner and property manager?) explained everything in detail (in Italian - thank god, my husband speaks Italian ;) ). Conclusion: 1- / A- Absolutely and without restrictions recommendable!
Magnifique maison au calme avec une vue plongeante sur la mer! Je vous la recommande vivement on s'y sent "comme a la maison" . Merci pour tout!
Hi Alessandra, Thank you for the possibility to stay at your appartment in beautiful Tiriddo. The view was magnificent and your appartment was very well equiped! It actually had everything we needed.
Das ist ein wirklich wunderschönes Ferienhaus an einem Fleckchen Erde, den man gar nicht mehr verlassen möchte. Das Haus ist super süß eingerichtet mit liebevollen Details, einer top ausgestatten Küche und auch der Grill und die Außendusche waren sehr nützlich. Das Haus hat drei große Terrassen, so kann man sich je nach Sonnenstand immer draußen aufhalten. Es liegt sehr romantisch am Rande eines kleinen Dorfes im Hinterland mit Blick auf das Meer -sogar beim Abspülen! :-) Man fährt ca. 5min von der großen Küstenstraße über eine kleine Straße gefühlt ins Nichts, das Haus ist das allerletzte des Dorfes, wodurch man es sehr ruhig hat. Wir hatten zunächst etwas Angst, dass uns der Wassertank zu viert in 10tagen ausgeht, aber das war trotz täglichem Duschen kein Problem. Alles in allem war es sehr schön und wir können es wirklich nur empfehlen!
We loved the stay in Alessandras House very much and would have loved to stay longer. It is quiet, cosy and offers a fantastic view over the Sea. The beaches are not far and realy nice. (There exists a map, e.g. in the well sorted Library at San Teodoro, where all beaches are described by photo). Alessandra offers a lot of helpful Informations and we felt very well at this place. It was the greatest holiday we could have! Thank you very much, Alessandra!
I am very pleased to write about Alessandra. I have known her since the past 8 years. She is really the kind of woman that gets into your life with that enchanting smile and contagious love for life. She is really someone who makes the difference as a friend, very lighthearted but clever and sensible at the same time. She travels a lot and she is very fond of people, furniture and design items which she chooses very carefully. Her cottage is the perfect place to be confortable. It's quiet and out of the usual tourist stream and I really suggest her place because you will have the chance to live your personal holiday quite close to an incredible blu sea with magic sunsets...
Conosco personalmente Alessandra e casa sua! Iniziamo dalla proprietaria: attenta e precisa per gli ospiti si attiva a 360 gradi affinché il feeling si a quello di casa... E' una persona dai mille interessi, colta ed elegante; così è casa sua, colta ed elegante! La casa della Sardegna è un "nido", confortevole e caldissimo, you will feel at home! Ha particolari e dettagli che rendono la vacanza unica e indimenticabile. Non è una semplice casa di vacanza impersonale….la ricorderete dal carattere particolare e inconfondibile…piena di oggetti provenienti da ogni parte del mondo, cose semplici e bellissime come anche la natura e la realtà sarda direttamente dentro casa. Andate a vederla! E la casa dei tramonti da vivere in grande serenità interiore…. dei profumi del luogo e sopratutto grande tranquillità. Una casa da vivere all'aria aperta, con tanti spazi e le comodità cittadine a portata di mano. Le fotografie colpiranno nel cuore! Questa è la casa di Alessandra!
casa stupenda nelle vicinanze di un mare spettacolare. persona simpaticissima allegra e di compagnia.
Alessandra is first of all one of my best friend than a collegue and also my travel mate She's really nice girl , honest and reliable , she payis lot of attention to details and she's really well organized , i've been in his house in Sardegna personally and i've no doubts you will really enjoy that place . She carefully chose everything she put in the house nad the result is AMAZING . You will love her place
Alessandra is a perfect host: I've known her for years and she is very caring about the others, careful to details and respectful. She loves houses and interiors so she pays attetion to any details. She's very good at resolving any problem it may arise. Stay at her house, it's worth!!!

Who Is That Leggy Blonde?
Who is that tall leggy blonde busting to pee, it's debut girl Goddess Sophia! This is her first time peeing on camera and as you'll see she isn't shy. I caught up with Sophia on a video shoot recently and after chatting to her I soon persuaded her that you guys would love to see her looking vulnerable and awkward as she pees. So I kept her waiting and longer than planned so that she was really desperate and it worked because once Sophia starts she gushes a torrent!

Rebekah - Summer Field Pee
It's a lovely summer's day and I'm out to do a little exploring, although not necessarily geographical exploration. I'm in the mood to explore my pee fetish today, I feel like taking a chance with a risk of being caught as I drop my panties in an open field with the long summer grass brushing against my legs as I take a satisfying pee. Lots of low reverse angle action in this scene for you to enjoy.

Tiffany & Chloe - Swamping in Pissy Shoes
What a treat I have in store for you, Tifanny and Chloe have another willing gimp who enjoys swamping. The girls are in a particularly bitchy mood today and they're out to enjoy themselves at the explense of the gimp whose clearly enjoying himself, his hard cock is testament to that. But Chloe is pissed off because her swamping efforts have resulted in a wet pair of heels. You can probably guess what happens next..

Rebekah - Pee Pub Naughtiness
Oh my what an exciting video this was to bring to you, I'd been out enjoying a Sunday walk in the countryside when we took a drinks break in a quiant pub. A beer festival was on so the only seats we could find were located behind the beer tent. The temptatino was too much couple with the bravado that a couple of beers gave me I was quickly taking a brazen pee within ear shot of the other revealers! So exciting...
Video No. 264 - 16:9 Widescreen
Roadside Mayhem
There is something very exciting about peeing in a situation where you have no control. If you want to experience this get close to a road with cars whizzing past. I guess it's the adrenalin that starts to course its away around the body, whatever it is if you combine it with the excitement of peeing in public the feeling can be amazing. In this video I get within a few metres of some speeding cars for exactly this rush!
Video No. 263 - 16:9 Widescreen
Nikki & Chloe - Gimp Swamping
What a treat I've got in store for you here. First up let me introduce Chloe Lovette, making her NP debut. She certainly isn't shy and she joins firm favourite Tiffany for some gimp swamping. These two stocking clad Minxes are in a real mean mood, remorse and empty their bladders on their victim. Chloe is a real natural and if you like her then look out for future updates featuring this stunning starlet!
Video No. 262 - 16:9 Widescreen
Fooling Around After Dark
There is something about the very naughty Minx Nikki that brings the wild side out in me. On a recent holiday after a few drinks at a local pub we were wandering back to our accommodation and when I suggested I have a quick pee she whipped her camera out and after daring me the fun began! I just hope those guys in that cabin didn't see me squatting and peeing just a few feet from their window!
Video No. 261 - 16:9 Widescreen
Coffee Break
It's time for me to introduce my latest victim, his name is Gimpy and he's a lot of fun. When recently I got together with Nikki Whiplash and Ms Nikki he had the temerity to ask for a coffee. He got a coffee alright but I suspect he didn't quite have in mind what we did because the coffee we gave him was pissed into his mouth half an hour after we drank it. Gimpy didn't seem to mind though or was he just afraid of upsetting us?

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Such a beautiful invitation! I love the purple and white on black--it makes it so elegant. We went with the envelopements and love the way they turned out. One thing to remember is to put the tape on the back of the invitation itself, not on the envelopment, as this is the only way the invitation will stay in place."
"I loved the style of writing on the front and how well organized and set apart each piece of information appeared. I thought it was very easy to read. I could have done with a different pattern on the back: it was too busy for my liking."
"I was very pleased with the font and design on the back. I believe invitations should be easy to read and very informative. This invitation is perfect for our guests and fits perfectly with our black/ white/ floral theme!"
"I love the design of the invitation. It is so lovely and unique- I have never seen anyone else with an invitation like this. My only complaint is that it is a little smaller than I had hoped and my longer name required them to make the font even smaller than you will see on a sample, but for the amazing price, it it far worth this small compromise. I got the regular paper that does not cost extra which is fine, but nothing special. If you can afford an upgrade to the paper, it would be even more special. The design specialist I worked with was great and overall I am very happy with my invitations."
"The invitation was just what I customized. It was very pretty and I love the colors. The invitation was shipped very quickly to me. I recommend this product!"

NFL Players Mocked Replacement Refs During HOF Game After Repeated Errors
Published August 7, 2012
NOT A BIG DEAL: In Detroit, Carlos Monarrez notes replacement refs have "officiated Lions practices, and most players have said they haven't noticed much of a difference." Lions C Dominic Raiola said, "I think they've been fine. ... I think they've been doing a good job" (DETROIT FREE PRESS, 8/7). ESPN's Adam Schefter reported people around the league "believe the NFL is fully prepared to use replacement officials for the first couple of weeks of the preseason … before we really sit down and get serious about a new deal at that point in time between the two sides" ("NFL 32," ESPN2, 8/6).
LADY AT THE LINE: The AP reported college ref Shannon Eastin "will become the first female to officiate an NFL game when she works as a line judge" for the Packers-Chargers preseason game Thursday night. Eastin has "worked in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference" and comes with "16 years of experience" (AP, 8/6). ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert wrote this is "an important moment, and Eastin's assignment will generate relevant discussion on a number of levels." Seifert: "Hopefully there were no barriers for qualified women to reach the top of the football officiating ladder, but if there were, you would hope that Eastin's accomplishment would negate them." There is no "list of every replacement candidate, but reportedly, most of them have come from the Arena Football League and lower-level college conferences." Their performance "will provide leverage to one of the sides in this contract dispute" (ESPN.com, 8/6).

A harsh work environment including psychosocial job demands might cause adverse events due to medical mismanagement, but the association has not been explored. The purpose of the study was to investigate whether some types of psychosocial job demands are associated with adverse events due to dental mismanagement experienced by general dental practitioners.
A self-administered questionnaire was mailed to members of a local branch of the Japan dental association. A total of 261 dental practitioners responded anonymously (response rate 53%). Psychosocial job demands were measured by a Japanese version of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire, which comprises five sub-scales: quantitative demands, cognitive demands, emotional demands, demands for hiding emotions, and sensorial demands. The outcome was defined according to whether the respondent's patients experienced one of the following adverse events due to dental mismanagement at least once during the previous one year: dropping of dental instrument or broken injection needle, soft tissue or nerve injury, accidental bleeding, loss of a tooth root into the maxillary sinus, and emphysema. Associations between each demand index and experience of adverse events were examined by logistic regression analyses adjusting for potential confounders.
Emotional demands and sensorial demands were significantly associated with the experience of adverse events (odds ratio = 3.9 for each). Other than the indices, male gender, younger age, practice alone, many dental chairs (five or more), and many patients (30 or more per day) were the risks. Working hours per week and number of paramedical staff had no significant associations.
Emotional and sensorial job demands are a potential target for the reduction of adverse events due to dental mismanagement.
Injury or complications in patients undergoing medical mismanagement has become a significant social concern, as the consequences are often very serious [1]. Thus, the benefits of preventing such adverse events are large for the appropriate health services.
It has been reported that dental practitioners experience higher levels of occupational stress than general working populations [2-5]. As classifications of dental work pressure, rising patient expectations, aggression exhibited by some patients in the practice, the risk of cross-infection, litigation and working as a team member are recently identified stressors [6]. Furthermore, dental practitioners experience a distinctive type of job demand due to the relationship with their patients [2,7]. Although a harsh work environment including psychosocial job demands is suspected to cause adverse events through practitioners' errors [8-12], there are few studies that have proven this association in the context of medical mismanagement, including dental mismanagement.
The purpose of this study was to examine the association between psychosocial job demands and experiences of adverse events due to dental mismanagement among a group of Japanese dental practitioners. It was hypothesized that dental practitioners exposed to a higher level of job demand would experience adverse events more frequently than those with a lower level of job demand. To date, few studies have implemented questionnaires comprising scales measuring distinctive job demands among dental practitioners [6]. Evidence based on such scales would provide insight into preventive measures against adverse events. In this study, we used the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ) – a newly developed, comprehensive instrument to measure psychosocial job demands [13].
A self-administered questionnaire was mailed to all members (n = 490) of a local branch of a Japanese dental association in the Kagawa prefecture, Japan (431 men and 59 women). Although this is a small region, the members constituted a representative sample of the dental practitioners of the prefecture. The questionnaire was anonymous. Informed consent was obtained from the respondents by including a question in the questionnaire as to whether they agreed to participate in the study.
An adverse event was defined as any injury or complication in a patient due to dental mismanagement. The outcome was defined according to whether the respondent's patients experienced one of the following adverse events at least once during the previous one year: dropping of dental instrument or broken injection needle, soft tissue or nerve injury (numbness), accidental bleeding, loss of a tooth root into the maxillary sinus, and emphysema.
Psychosocial job demands
Psychosocial job demands were measured by a Japanese version of the COPSOQ [13]. COPSOQ was developed as a comprehensive tool for assessment and improvement of the psychosocial work environment. The reliability, validity, and applicability of the original Danish version have been discussed [13]. COPSOQ has been translated into several languages. The Japanese version was developed by the translation and back-translation procedure [14]. The Japanese version comprises five sub-scales: quantitative demands (seven items, e.g. "Do you have to work very fast?"), cognitive demands (eight items, e.g. "Does your work require that you remember a lot of things?"), emotional demands (three items, e.g. "Is your work emotionally demanding?"), demands for hiding emotions (two items, e.g. "Does your work require that you hide your feelings?"), and sensorial demands (five items, e.g. "Does your work require a high level of precision?" and "Does your work require that you have to control your movements, e.g. your arms and hands, consciously?"). The scales of the COPSOQ are formed by adding the points of the individual questions, giving equal weight to each question. The questions have five response options and the weights are 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100. The scale value is calculated as the simple average, and all scales range from 0 to 100. Respondents who answer less than half of the questions in a scale are regarded as missing. If a person has answered at least half of the questions, the scale value is calculated as the average of the questions answered. In our study population, Cronbach's alpha coefficients of the scales were 0.88, 0.87, 0.85, 0.65, and 0.82, respectively. In this study, dental practitioners with a score of ≥ 75 points (from 100) in each sub-scale were defined as the group exposed to respective job demands.
The study design and procedure were reviewed and approved by the Human Ethics Committee for Epidemiological Research at the Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine and Dentistry, Japan.
Statistical analyses
A series of cross-tabulations of sociodemographic and work-related variables with the five job demand indices was performed, using the χ2 test. To examine the association of job demand indices and adverse events experienced, logistic regression analysis was conducted by entering each job stress measure separately. Sex, age (≤ 40, 41–50, 51–60, ≥ 61 years), working hours per week (≤ 40, 41–50, ≥ 51 hours per week), and the numbers of dentists (1, 2, ≥ 3), paramedical staff (≤ 3, 4–5, ≥ 6), patients per day (up to around 25, around 30–35, around 40 or more), and dental chairs in the clinic (≤ 2, 3, 4, ≥ 5) were selected as confounding factors in the logistic models. Ordinal or discrete variables were represented by dummy variables. All associations were inferred with an α level of 0.05. These were performed using the SPSS computer program, version 13 (Chicago, IL, USA).
A total of 261 dental practitioners responded (response rate 53%). Table 1 shows the profile of the study population. We found no significant differences in the proportions of gender, age groups, and specialties in our study population compared with the total population of the branch (data not shown).
Table 1. Profile of the study population (N = 261)
The prevalences of experiences of adverse events during the previous year were as follows: soft tissue injury 27%, accidental bleeding 18%, dropping of dental instrument 10%, emphysema 3%, nerve injury (numbness) 2%, dropping of broken injection needle 1%, and loss of a tooth root into the maxillary sinus 1%. Of the respondents, 113 dental practitioners (43%) experienced one of the adverse events at least once during the previous year.
Table 2 shows the relationship between sociodemographic and work conditions and psychosocial job demands. The psychosocial job demands appeared to reflect the hectic work condition of the dentists. Quantitative demands were associated with working hours per week, and the numbers of patients per day, paramedical staff, and dental chairs in the clinic. Cognitive demands were associated with the number of patients, paramedical staff, and dental chairs in the clinic. Cognitive demands were more prevalent among younger dentists than older dentists. Emotional demands were associated with the numbers of patients per day and paramedical staff in the clinic. Sensorial demands were associated with the number of paramedical staff in the clinic. There were no statistically significant associations between demand for hiding emotions and selected work conditions.
Table 2. Sociodemographic and work conditions and psychosocial job demands
The associations between psychosocial job demands and experience of adverse events due to dental mismanagement are shown in Table 3. Except for 'Demands for hiding emotions,' dental practitioners exposed to higher levels of job demands had higher odd ratios of experiences of adverse events due to dental mismanagement. Of the psychosocial job demand indices, emotional and sensorial demands were significantly associated with the experience of adverse events (odds ratio = 3.9 for each).
Table 3. Psychosocial demands and experience of adverse events due to dental mismanagement
Other than the job demand indices, males, dentists younger than 40 years, single-handed, 30 or more patients per day, and five or more dental chairs were identified as being high risk for adverse events (data not shown). Working hours per week and the number of paramedical staff had no significant associations with adverse events due to dental mismanagement.
Using a newly validated comprehensive job demands questionnaire, this cross-sectional study of dental practitioners revealed that two types of psychosocial job demand – emotional and sensorial – were associated with experiences of adverse events due to dental mismanagement. Since research suggests that stress management programs lead to a reduction in medical malpractice incidents [15], our findings imply that the indicated job demands are an important target for the reduction of adverse events due to dental mismanagement.
It is possible that clinics with more beds or more patient contact hours may have higher demand levels and are more likely to be at risk of medical errors or malpractice. Even after adjusting for these possible confounders, emotional and sensorial demands were independently associated with experiences of adverse events due to dental mismanagement. There is empirical evidence that the type of job demand is associated with occupational accidents or injuries. Swaen et al. observed that high psychological job demands, emotional demands, and conflicts with the supervisor and/or colleagues were risk factors for being injured in an occupational accident [12]. Experiencing a high degree of ergonomic stress was reported to be a risk factor for occupational injuries [16]. Too many such demands might lead to distress, fatigue, or poor cognitive performance, including difficulty in giving constant care or impaired health care judgments and decision-making among dental practitioners [17,18], which in turn increase the risk of errors.
Other than the psychosocial job demand indices, conditions of the workplace such as the number of patients per day and the number of dentists were also associated with experienced adverse events. A previous study revealed that dentists were more likely to report high levels of emotional exhaustion and low levels of personal accomplishment if they worked in practices with few other dentists [19]. Furthermore, social support in the workplace, measured here by the number of dentists in the practice, appears to have a protective effect against some aspects of burnout [19]. Similarly, a survey in general practitioners revealed that having little free time from practice work was associated with depression [20]. Lack of resources (help) and the consequences might be associated with adverse events due to dental mismanagement.
The demographic characteristics that were shown to be associated with adverse events due to dental mismanagements seem to be compatible with the related literature. Employees who were injured in an occupational accident were more likely to be male [12]. Younger workers tend to have higher occupational accident rates than older workers [12,21]. The number of patients per day was associated with adverse events, but working hours were not. Rather than just the length of working hours, the intensity of demands might be a more important quantitative predictor of occupational accidents [13].
Measurement of distinctive job demands would allow us to consider concrete preventive measures of adverse events due to dental mismanagement. Both emotional and sensorial demands tap the psychological aspect rather than environmental or organizational. Individual approaches, including coping or relaxation, would be an appropriate measure to counteract the consequences of such demands. Ergonomic measures, such as a supporting devices for the arms, are also applicable against sensorial demands. Furthermore, the findings suggest the importance of fostering a supportive environment.
There are some limitations of our study. Firstly, the subjects were limited to members of a local branch of a Japanese dental association, thus restricting the applicability of the results to the general population. Furthermore, as the response rate of this study was slightly low, we cannot deny that dental practitioners who were extremely busy and those who had perpetrated medical errors might have not responded to the questionnaire or under-reported their experiences, which could lead to underestimation of the associations. However, attrition analysis supported the view that our study population was representative of the dental practitioners of the prefecture. Secondly, the present study was a cross-sectional study using a self-administered questionnaire, and thus a causal relationship between psychosocial job demands and experienced adverse events could not be determined. High levels of job demands may have led to a high incidence of adverse events, but it is also possible that dental practitioners with a history of adverse events may pay more attention to their working situation; that is, they may perceive greater job demands. However, the reverse association, such as increasing patient numbers after adverse events, is less likely.
Despite the above-mentioned limitations, our study sheds light on the importance of psychosocial job demands as a target for the prevention of adverse events due to dental mismanagement. More specifically, coping against emotional and sensorial demands could be a worthwhile strategy. The implications of our study also include the observation that enhanced support resources within the workplace could be effective in reducing adverse events.

Vietnam appears to be ripe for development. But a lack of infrastructure, as well as an unwieldy structure, bureaucracy, high risk, and in some cases, itchy palms of public officials, makes it a daunting undertaking for all but the most risk averse. By J.R. Musbach and S.A. Jacques, reprinted from Lusk Review, Fall 1995.

Lest We Forget...
The citizens of Houston and Harris County need to be watchful of the Sports Authority because of their contracting procedures. We all need to remember that the selected "nonbid contractor" is Brown & Root ... the same contractor that designed, built and inspected the South Texas Nuclear Power Plant for Houston Looting & Plunder! We know how well that turned out.
The stadium being built in Phoenix is similar: It is currently costing $300 million-plus, and they had construction plans!
Given the choice of attending a game at the Ballpark at Union Station or watching it on TV, I'll opt for TV every time. The beer is colder, the restrooms cleaner and less crowded and the parking is free.

The Scrap-Iron Connection
Thanks for the excellent article on the Sports Authority. I have one more question. As noted in your article, Sports Authority board member Carol Garner is married to Phil "Scrap Iron" Garner, a former Astro. "Scrap Iron" is the manager of the Milwaukee Brewers, a team owned by acting-for-life Commissioner of Baseball Bud Selig. Thus, it is fair to say that Ms. Garner's family's continued prosperity depends on the goodwill of Mr. Selig. Am I the only person in town who thinks that common sense would counsel against appointing a person in Ms. Garner's situation to a board whose major responsibility is to represent the interests of Harris County taxpayers in negotiations with major-league baseball? Of course, as pointed out in your article, common sense is a rare commodity in the stadium business.

Jack Rains, Don't Read This Letter
As someone who has known Jack Rains for years (and can't stand him), it doesn't come as any surprise to me to hear people characterize him as a "bull in a china shop," because it describes him perfectly. I have to admit I was surprised when he was appointed to head the Sports Authority, because it's a delicate position requiring tact, patience and the ability to listen as well as speak -- attributes Rains does not have. It's hard for Jack to be a team player, because he is only interested in doing things one way -- his way. It shouldn't surprise anyone that all of his "good-ol'-boyisms" involve bullfighting, football or the Army: Rains believes in winning, winning at all costs, and watch out if you get in his way! He's nasty, crude and he is known to hold a grudge.
I think most Houstonians would love to see Houston have a bustling downtown life, including a new stadium. We just don't like feeling as if it's being crammed down our throats. Jack's demeanor always implies that he knows what's best for us and that if we'll just follow his lead we'll be happy and grateful to him in the end. I, for one, am tired of his condescending, know-it-all attitude.

My Dad the Genius
Never before has anyone truly captured the genius of my father so perfectly, nor his incredible ability to read 20,000 words per minute ["Pat Greene Has a Marvelous Scheme to Conquer the World," by Randall Patterson, November 20].
Your headline was absolutely right. Can the presidential campaign be far behind?

The LeAnn WeItanschauung
I was a little amazed that the only mention of the LeAnn Rimes concert was in the Roadshows section [November 20]. It's just that this young lady has not had a really good live show in Houston since the summer of 1996, at AstroWorld, and she has become a real recording and touring sensation in the last 18 months. In fact, she is arguably the hottest thing in American music right now.
You did a story at rodeo time, but it was obsessed with the "Lolita factor" ["The Reason of Rimes," by Matt Weitz, February 13]. I asked myself what was so different about LeAnn now that would make you want to totally ignore this enormous talent (I speak from experience, having seen her live and close-up at the Trail Dust Steak House last August). The answer I came up with is the same one I found when assessing the trashing of Miss Rimes's most recent album by Entertainment Weekly and People: The people in the "Coast" media and at the Houston Press share a common Weltanschauung, which views as abhorrent the mere mention of God or Jesus, and, of course, LeAnn's latest album has five really bedrock hymns.
I guess that your types would probably like LeAnn a lot more if she were a "young lesbian-in-training" or a 15-year-old boy!
A fan of the great LeAnn Rimes
Still Aiding and Comforting
I am writing in response to The Insider article "Aid and Comfort," by Tim Fleck, in the October 30 edition of the Houston Press. I would like to correct any misconception that may result from a statement made in the story. The United Way of the Texas Gulf Coast has no plans to withdraw funds from the American Red Cross-Houston Chapter.

Created in this Craftsy Course
Awe your friends and family by creating delicate hydrangeas with Jacqueline Butler's skilled instruction and easy, effective techniques.

Offer some kudos...
Join the conversation...
Ask a question...
Add your comment...
Here are some details about my project: | |
Category | Cake Decorating |
Material | Gum Paste |
Style | Whimsical |
Share a little about the materials, processes and techniques used to create this cake: Gumpaste, ball tools, flower foam for thinning edges of petals, hydrangea and rose petal cutters, florist wire and tape, Dummy foam 10inch, 8inch and 6 inch or cake in the same size, and half a foam ball for topper. an Extruder and fondant, royal icing, small offset spatula, cornflower blue and violet wilton gel paste
What are you most proud of? I was so proud to be asked to make a cake for cake central for a start but when i decided to make sugar flowers for the top i thought id bitten off more than i can chew. I had no idea to arrange them so to have the arrangement come out the way it did i was soooo happy and to get the cake published was just an unbelievable proud moment for me.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Dont be scared to try something out of your comfort zone. This was only the second time id made hydrangeas, buds, leaves and roses and i felt like i had no idea what i was doing but have confidence in your abilties and ideas and remember that if you have to change your design just go with it. The only person that knew the initial design was you, so dont beat yourself up about it. Also go back and watch your craftsy tutorial again and again. I cant even tell you how many times ive watched Jacqueline Butlers handcrafted sugar flower's. It might be embarrasing to admit how many times actually but the craftsy course's have given me so much more confidence because if i noticed anything about all the teachers on craftsy is they are all not scared to try something new because failiure is the next step to sucess so never be scared to fail because if at first we dont suceed we try again and again and agian if we need to :-)
may i ask what cutters did u use?
hi Lora82. I used hydrangea cutters and rose petal cutters and the lilacs are made similar to Jacquline Butlers filler flowers with no cutter. I hope that helps :-)
oohhh love this cake!! How did you do the wood grain? Hand painted?
hi thatsCAKE thaank you for your lovely comment and yes the effect in the middle tier is hand painted :-)
Really stunning. I love this cake and the purple and blue shades. Really gorgeous.

What are all the changes that have to be done in the gingerbread rom to make it work with i9003?
Can we take the drivers for i9000 from its original firmware and merge it with gingerbread.
I know if we flash the wrong firmware it wont go past the samsung logo. But what is making it to stop there??
1.Hardware Drivers?.

We have now stayed at this hotel many times over a period of more than a decade. It's a lovely place and has a huge, green, site that no other hotel in Hua Hin (and few in Thailand) can match. Really friendly and helpful staff, some have been there more than 10 years (sign of happy staff and good management). The pools are enormous and great fun, and there is a quiet, garden pool for those who want to get away from other people's children, with pool-side massages under the palm trees. The availability of horse riding as part of the hotel adds an extra dimension and the stables are clean and well organized. Food is fine - they have recently pushed it up a level. The hotel is a bit outside Hua Hin itself (in Cha Am,) but there is a cheap shuttle bus into town and back.
