Qinghai Lake Travel Guideline
Posted by: Herzog (IP Logged)
Date: September 14, 2011 11:08PM
Qinghai Lake, lying in the food of Sun-Moon Mountain and the northeast of Qinghai Plateau, is the largest inland salt water lake in China with a circumference of 360km and a surface area of over 4,500km squared. The beauty here lies in its salty vastness and the remote peace that it instills. The colors that can be found around the lake are of purity and contrasts, from the deep yellows of oil seed rape against the cold blues of the lake to the dark greens of distant mountains against the fluffy white of bilious clouds.
Admission fee: RMB 50/person, RMB 45/person for boat and RMB 15/person for Bird Island)
Transportation: In Xining City taking shuttle bus at long-distance Bus Station to Heima River which is far from Egg Island about 50 kilometers is about RMB 20/person lasting 5 hours. Then Rent mini bus to Egg Island is about RMB 50.
Accommodation: There are basically two options, one in Gonghe and the other on Bird Island. The Qinghai Lake Tent Hotel is a two star hotel that lies around 30km from the Sun Moon Mountain, in Jiangxigou Township, Gonghe. The hotel has about ten cabins and a restaurant. A Mongolian cabin for two costs RMB 280, a double with bath is RMB 240, without bath is RMB 160. The hotel also offers dorm beds for RMB 30 in a triple. The Bird Island Hotel is on the island, a little rough but cheap. Doubles are RMB 120, dorm beds are RMB 25. It is also possible to rent tents from the locals around the Bird Island. Generally these are pre-set up, with beds within, and will cost around RMB 10-20.
Bird Island
Bird Island, where thousands of birds inhabit, lies in the northwest corner of Qinghai Lake. It is a heaven of the reproduction of Asian birds, and the top among the eight bird reserves in China. Every May and June, the best time of bird watching, migratory birds fly from faraway mountains and deserts to breed here. It is quite a spectacle of thousands of birds flying over the sky, with their nests thickly dotted and colorful eggs interspersed all over the island. Besides, Haixi Shan, Shadao (Sand Island), Sankuaishi (Three Rocks), Erlang Sword Peninsula, and Qinghai Lake Fishery are scenic spots in Qinghai Lake that are worth visiting.
Sand Island
Like a crescent floating on eastern Qinghai Lake, Sand Island is formed by sand blown by wind. It is connected with the dunes on the east bank of the lake. At present, the scenic spot has been equipped with some recreational facilities and sports establishments.
Haixin Mountain
Haixin Mountain is an isle shaped like a spiral shell located in the middle south of the lake, covering an area of 1 square kilometer. The body of the isle is made up of ivory white granite and gneiss. With the coverage of green vegetation over 50%, the isle is a good place for horse-raising. What's more, temples and other subsidiary buildings well suit the lake and the hill, and on the peak of the hill the panorama of the Qinghai Lake can be overlooked.
Zeng Gao
Zeng Gao is a traditional snack for breakfast In Central Shaanxi. It is made from glutinous rice and dates in a steamer which is developed from an ancient cooking vessel Zeng, hence the name Zeng Gao. Dates have a lot of medicinal functions such as enriching the blood and calming the nerves and Zeng Gao has a strong flavor of dates and Is soft, sticky and tasty.
Dried Beef Cubes
"Snow Mountain" Dried Beef Cubes are made of fresh yak meat from Qinghai Plateau. It is a nourishing food with good color and sweet smell.
Many tourists will be impressed by a kind of kebab called "Leiba" in Xining. This is actually turkish toasted meat.
1. Keep away from dogs when you get along with herdsmen, and pay attention to wolves when you camp at night.
2. Do not go through dangers in order to be close to the lake, for some places are wetlands and swamps.
3. Do not swim in the lake or leave rubbish there.
4. The sunshine is very intense in the plateau through the temperature is not so high. You are suggested to bring PA+++ sunscreen.
5. The temperature differs greatly from day to night. Check the weather forecast before a trip.
6. Moisture-proof when camping. If you don't have a special dampproof mat, plastic cloth will do instead.

He also earned the Michigan State team awards for scholarship and sportsmanship after his senior season. He led MSU in assists and steals each of his final three seasons and finished his career third in assists (599).
Snow earned the 2005 J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award presented by the Professional Basketball Writers Association. He was also honored with the NBA Sportsmanship Award for the 1999-2000 season and was selected as the Atlantic Division winner of the 1998-99 NBA Sportsmanship Award.

I mentioned earlier this week that my little spitfire has been depressed lately. I've been making every effort to cheer her up, because it's been breaking my heart to see her so sad. Apparently my efforts were not as futile as I thought: she brought a little bag of dog treats for my dog, and I have never seen her as excited as she was to give them to me and discuss my dog's taste for bacon-flavored dog treats. Furthermore, she did this despite being sick. She threw up before school, but her mom was gone already and wasn't answering her phone, and her step-dad was still asleep, so she did what she knew she was supposed to and walked to school. She ended up vomiting again at school, and her grandma had to come pick her up, but to come to school - sick - and give my dog treats? Adorable. I am so proud of her today.
This small victory, along with the mother of my other diabetic randomly thanking me for teaching her son how to draw up his own insulin and being patient with him (duh, that's my job!), help me get over the other rudeness I encountered this week, including a mother talking to me as though it was my fault I hadn't done anything about her son's peanut allergy and epilepsy conditions she'd failed to mention to me previously. You can't please everyone.
Cue the "awwww"

I am looking for a reliable, friendly, flexible and MOBILE notary who would be willing to travel to my home office in Kensington. I would love to support my local notary so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Sarah
We are at the beginning of the International Adoption process. There are MANY documents that need to be notarized. We are trying to find a way to avoid the $10-$12 per signature fee. I would appreciate any recommendations/ideas and/or names of adoption-friendly notaries who would likely give a 'bulk discount.' Thanks so much. adoptfriendly
If you are looking for a traveling notary, we used Olin Covington (http://www.notaryto-go.com/) and he was very reasonable (I think his rates depend where you are, as he is out of the Tri-Valley area).
My one other bit of advice is to make sure whichever notary you use really knows what they are doing. I made the mistake for one of my documents to use a ''friend of a friend'' at work for free who was a licensed notary but didn't do it all the time. What do you know -- it was done wrong and got rejected.
Good luck with the ''paper chase!'' China Mom
We are in the process of putting the dossier together for our China Adoption. Our first step is to have many documents notarized. Do you know of any notary public that is knowledgeable with notarizing documents for international adoption? Possibly a discount for adoption documents or multiple signatures? The notary's seal will have to be certified by the Secretary of State (which is our second step). Thank you!
Hello, Does anyone know of a notary who can come to your home in the evening? I need someone who could come after 6:30 when my husband is home from work. Thanks for any help... heidi

2009-12-21New GMBA book: Data mining for global trends in Mountain Biodiversity
Thanks to advances in electronic archiving of biodiversity data and the digitization of climate and other geophysical data, a new era in biogeography, functional ecology, and evolutionary ecology has begun. In Data Mining for Global Trends in Mountain Biodiversity, Christian Körner, Eva M. Spehn, and a team of experts from the Global Mountain Biodiversity Assessment of DIVERSITAS explore two of the hottest subjects in science and technology: biodiversity and data mining. They demonstrate how to harness the scientific power of biological databases for furthering ecological and evolutionary theory.
Electronic databases can open new pathways for testing evolutionary and ecological theory across the world's mountain ranges. The new GMBA book examines global trends in mountain biodiversity using electronic biodiversity databases. GMBA experts provide examples of successful mining of geo-referenced data, methodological approaches, and comparisons of mountain regions on a continental scale.

The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) has recently produced a new public interest booklet on 'Mountain Biodiversity and Climate Change' developed from the contributions made at the International Mountain Biodiversity Conference in November 2008 in Kathmandu, Nepal. The publication uses a question and answer format with beautiful illustrations to introduce a selection of the ideas presented and discussed by representatives from the eight countries of the Hindu Kush-Himalayas region and a variety of global programmes and others. It highlights the need for cooperation in research and data collection to help address the impacts of climate change on this mountain system which includes parts of four global biodiversity hotspots. The full conference proceedings is packaged on a CD-ROM included with the booklet.

2009-05-04New paper: Global Statistics of ''Mountain'' and ''Alpine'' Research
Using the Web of Science, a bibliometric analysis of the worldwide research activities associated with mountains — or the alpine part of mountains — is presented, according to country, institution, and subject. Half of the human population depends on mountains in one way or another, and mountains cover (depending on the definition) between 12 and 26% of the ice-free terrestrial area. About 20% of the human population lives in mountains or their immediate forelands. One third of all protected areas are in mountains, and they supply water to nearly one half of the world population (Körner and Ohsawa 2005). Which are the countries that are contributing most to scientific research in mountains? Which are the leading institutions? How much are various fields of science contributing to the international scientific mountain literature?

2009-03-23Job announcement: PhD position in plant ecology in an interdisciplinary research project in the Swiss Alps
The interdisciplinary research project (5 disciplines involved: Plant ecology, Soil science, Hydrology, Environmental Economics, and -as cooperative partner- History) aims at assessing the significance of land cover and related land use for water balance and soil stability. The team will quantify effects of land cover/land use changes on biodiversity, water yield, soil erodibility, flood risk, and the indirect assets for tourism, and agriculture under a sustainability perspective for alpine regions. Monetary values will be attributed to the observed and projected changes (last and future 50 years, respectively; past changes will be evidenced by historical trends). The research project will be carried out in the test region Ursern Valley (central Swiss Alps) at different spatial (plant species to catchment) and temporal scales (current; last and future 50 years).
Entrance: immediately; start of the project: 1st of April 2009

2009-03-12New book: The Biology of Alpine Habitats
The book provides a global overview of alpine habitats that occur above the natural tree line, describing the factors that have shaped them over both ecological and evolutionary timescales. The broad geographic coverage helps synthesise common features whilst revealing differences in the world's major alpine systems from the Arctic to the Tropics.
The book considers habitat-forming factors (landforms, energy and climate, hydrology, soils, and vegetation) individually, as well as their composite impacts on habitat characteristics. Evolution and population processes are examined in the context of the responsiveness / resilience of alpine habitats to global change. Finally, a critical assessment of the potential impacts of climate change, atmospheric pollutants and land use is made and related to the management and conservation options available for these unique habitats.

Feb. 22, 2000
STANFORD, Calif. - QB Teyo Johnson and RB/LB Amon Gordon, two of the most highly-coveted recruits in the nation, today signed national letters-of-intent to enroll at Stanford University in the Fall of 2000 and join the Cardinal football program.
The addition of Johnson and Gordon brings Stanford's 2000 recruiting class to 14. Twelve other student-athletes signed national letters-of-intent on February 2. Both Johnson and Gordon were prep All-Americans, bringing to nine the number of prep All-Americans who committed to Stanford.
"The addition of Teyo Johnson and Amon Gordon adds to what we believe is a very good overall recruiting class," said Cardinal head coach Tyrone Willingham. "Both are tremendous athletes who possess great character and leadership abilities. We feel both will make a positive contribution to our football program."
Both Johnson and Gordon attended Mira Mesa High School in San Diego in 1999 after transferring from Mariner High School in Washington. Johnson, 6-7, 256, played quarterback, tight end, wide receiver and defensive end in high school, but comes to Stanford as a quarterback. Gordon is a 6-4, 280 pounder who played both linebacker and running back last season.
Johnson, brother of current Cardinal senior Riall Johnson, will also play basketball at Stanford. He is considered by some as the top two-sport recruit in the nation. A year ago, he played both offense and defense at Mira Mesa. He finished the season with 1,068 yards passing and 11 touchdowns to go along with 48 rushes for 411 yards and four TDs and 24 receptions for 386 yards and three touchdowns (1,865 yards in total offense, 18 TDs). Defensively, he registered 60 tackles, 14 sacks, eight quarterback hurries, eight pass deflections, four forced fumbles, and two interceptions, one returned for a touchdowns
Johnson was a consensus First-Team prep All-America as an "athlete." PrepStar ranked him as the No. 2 athlete in the nation while SuperPrep ranked Johnson No. 4 on their list of "jumbo athletes." In basketball, Johnson was also a highly-sought after recruit. He participated in the '99 Nike All-America Camp and the Olympic USA Basketball camp. A year ago, Dick Vitale named him as one of the top 20 juniors in the nation.
Gordon rushed for 1,353 yards and 19 TDs last season at Mira Mesa. He was a consensus First-Team prep All-America as a linebacker, however. PrepStar named him to their "Dream Team" as one of the nation's top 100 recruits, ranked him third among linebackers in the nation and the No. 6 recruit in the west. SuperPrep ranked Gordon No. 22 on their list of the nation's top 50 recruits.
Both Johnson and Gordon played football and basketball at Mariner High School in Washington in 1997 and '98 before moving to San Diego and playing at Mira Mesa in 1999.

Use of novel synchrotron-based techniques to explore the connection between metal speciation in soils and plants [abstract]. American Chemical Society. Div. Geochemistry. Abstract 722254. Technical Abstract: We investigated the speciation of Ni in smelter contaminated soils in order to discern what effect Ni speciation has on the availability and compartmentalization of Ni in the hyperaccumulator Alyssum murale. Using a combination of techniques including SEM, micro-XAFS and SXRF it was found that the primary phases present in the soils were NiO and Ni(OH)2 with minor solid phase Ni associations. Preliminary results identified Ni-citrate and Ni-histidine complexes as the primary interplant metal species. To ascertain the partitioning of metals within the plant tissue, SEM and SXRF as well as micro-fluorescence computed tomography were employed. Additionally the novel application of transmission computed tomography was used to quickly determine metal partitioning within freshly excised plant leaves and stems. These techniques revealed that Ni is concentrated in the periphery of the leaves and stems as well as indicating an association of Ni with Mn at the base of the trichome.

By Julie D. Griffin
Hitsville U.S.A. 1958: A teenage boy, Otis Williams of Detroit without a lot of choices for a city guy. Factory worker or music. "I aint going to work on some assemblies line. That's for damn sure ~ I'm sorry. But I'm a singer now, and that's just the way it is." One day he thinks a boy from Otis Williams and The Siberians a lot of trouble at first. But like the other boy who chases him down tells him. "I don't want no trouble." He just wants him to join the singing group. An APB from W.C.H.B. brings the group from out of hiding and for a first surprise gig on a live radio show.
St. Stephens Community Center 1960: Otis Williams and The Distants, the original name for the Temptations. Diana Ross and The Supremes show up at the musical competition and look TheTemptations up and down. That's street talk for intimidation. Two of the members of the group shown confront Berry Gordy, founder of the Motown record label and of all places, according to the film make a deal for a recording in the men's bathroom. "Smokey better watch out." Smokey Robinson who shows up for the big night keeps close contact with the group through time, even shown singing at the funeral of Melvin Blue Franklin who passed away after a time as the eventual result of gunshot wounds when a man stole away with his car. In the late 50's and early 60's and the land of the aqua blue auto the guys survive a shallow agent who takes away a car earned by singing and all of the money too. All sheisters and hard earned bucks gone aside, the proud narrator of the film gladly brags at the shining year of 1961 that, "Now we had a group." The man who ends up as the main Temptation of the group, David Ruffin, speaks with a secretarial version of Martha Vandella. Wait A Minute Mr. Postman plays on the background speaker. They sing Mother of Mine, a song inspired by their mother for Mr Barry Gordy.
New Years began and the year the songbirds go fame after Ruffie and his fiery charisma join the group. The narrator said everything felt right for the first time. Just two years before and around 1963, Otis had felt like giving up. And now the charm of the group to make a woman feel like the only one as they sang bloomed full ~ As pretty as you are, you coulda been a flower. The way you do the things you do. But performance concert places south promised whites on one side and blacks on another, a confederate flag right down the middle. And as a more historical Cairo, one scene with two white hoosiers and a shotgun show the era of time here.
Summer 1964 brought marriage trouble to Otis, and yet New York City also offered the opportunity to record the new style of the group who now merged transition with the times with perfect sync. I've got sunshine on a cloudy day. When it's cold outside, I've got the month of May. I guess you could say, what can make me feel this way...my girl." Hitsville U.S.A. and the Copacabana bring new hope to the group for all of this. By August 1967, the group begins singing Get Ready Cuz Here I Come with the blues fascination of the best of the Fox Theater. Amidst a lot of good white smoke and the enthusiasm of the band on the rise after Ruffin sadly found dead, the film portrays him as a man who seemed to hit a bottom with drug addiction and things just got worse. On a more positive note, the day of a performance artist wearing a sharp suit with complete color coordination, the group just sparkled. And as if costuming alone did not prove that black is beautiful, living on Cloud 9 and with a back home Detroit concert, and a surprise appearance by Ruffin, before he died, and he begged the band Please don't leave me sweet darling. He says he straightened out and asked for another chance. You aren't the same without me.

Making your own orb balls is easy to do, but it does take some patience and the right equipment. Start by buying a glass ball of the same size and shape you want your orb ball to be. Make sure it has a removable stem cap. This is usually a small metal piece that is used to close off the stem of the ball. Most people find suitable balls in craft stores. Empty glass Christmas ornaments are ideal for this project, but a lot of people also special order their glass balls from the internet.
Once you've found the size you want, think for a few minutes about the colors you want displayed in the ball. Also think about glitter, small pictures or other items that you want your orb ball to show. Assemble these items along with acrylic paint in the colors you want.
Next, remove the stem cap and spray adhesive into the ball. While the adhesive is wet, use tweezers to insert any small pictures into the ball. You will need to roll up larger pictures and then unroll them to get them to fit through the opening. The picture should adhere to the side of the orb ball. Use the flat side of your tweezers to secure it, however. After this, sprinkle in any glitter that you want to use. Make sure the picture has completely adhered to the side of the ball before moving onto the next step.
Next, place about a teaspoon of paint into the ball. Roll the ball around to get the paint to coat the inside. If you want a swirled effect, add teaspoons of different paint colors to the inside of the ball and then roll the colors together. If you want a speckled or splotched effect, wait for the paint to dry completely before adding a different color. If you're using a picture, the paint may seep around any edges that are not completely secure.
It's important to note that it can be very difficult to get the paint exactly where you want it using this method. If you're very picky about where the paint goes, use a small paint brush with a long handle to apply paint to the inside of the ball. This method can take a while to master, so expect to go through several different balls before getting it just right.
Leave the cap off when getting the ball to dry. After everything is dry, replace the stem cap and display your orb ball wherever you want.

Your Intrepid Pharmacist has been meaning to do a series about cold and allergy medications. We are heading into cold and flu season, and already Tennesseans call or come by the Consultation Window to ask your Intrepid Pharmacist what medications they need for stuffy heads, runny noses and other achy cold-related inconveniences. So, now seems like a good time for some clarification and patient education. The problem with "the crud," as it keeps being called, is that patients coming into the pharmacy (or calling for help) are overwhelmed by the myriad of treatment choices and ads on television for "new" OTC medications that are not really new, just a reformulation or different combination of the same drugs or a different dose form (melting strip versus tablet) of what is already out there.
For those who just want the quick read without the necessary details, your Intrepid Pharmacist has provided a summary below of the primary drug type/uses that will appear in each subsequent column. That said, he cautions you not to prove Gene Hackman's assertion in The Birdcage that "Americans don't read details. They don't even trust details. They read headlines!" as the details here are important. So take the time to read each column in the series. And above all, before commencing your Robotrip (your Intrepid Pharmacist looks sharply in the direction of the teen age readers), do not buy into the fable that just because something is over-the-counter (OTC) rather than "prescription only" it is somehow safer than a prescription medication. This is absolutely not true.
The five drug areas we will be examining over the next several columns are:
Antihistamines: take one of these many flavors if you have a runny nose that needs drying up, itchy watery, eyes, sneezing, etc. or a rash or poison ivy/oak/sumac. It can also help you sleep.
Cough Suppressant: take this for a mild cough
Decongestant: does just what it says and opens up and drains the sinus (so your nose will run).
Expectorant: helps loosen "Crud" (e.g. mucus) in the chest so you can cough it up.
Pain and Fever: antipyretic (fancy med-speak for "lowers your fever") and anti-inflammatory drugs do just what they say, but which one and where are they found?
Today's column looks at the "what drug(s) do I need?" question in the big picture sense. "What drug(s) do I need?" is also the question your Intrepid Pharmacist is asked a couple dozen times a day. And the seemingly overwhelming task of picking the right medication from the imposing wall of drugs in eye-catching pretty colored boxes is easy if you remember three basic rules:
Rule #1: There are a limited number of FDA approved OTC drugs. All manufacturers are stuck with the same limited number of drugs and the same maximum strength doses of those drugs. Thus, everything is mixed and matched by various manufacturers the way women mix and match their wardrobe. Your Intrepid Pharmacist is not being sexist here. When it comes to taking a limited wardrobe and making it seem three times larger than what it is, women cannot be beaten for their mix and match expertise. The same may be said of drug makers about OTC cold and allergy medications.
Rule #2: Be skeptical about advertising. Why is that people know they should be skeptical about adverts but then still allow it to cloud and confuse their thinking? Here's a quick example: Tylenol PM versus Advil PM, which are marketed to help you sleep. What's the real difference between them? One has Tylenol (an anti-fever and pain medication) and the other has Advil (ibuprophen), an anti-imflammatory. But as for the actual active ingredient that causes the drowsiness? Well, that is the antihistamine diphenhydramine (better known by its brand name Benadryl). And it is in both "PM" medications.
Rule #3: Chemical structure is an exact science. Something either is the molecule or it is not, and there is no sliding scale of quality as with clothing and televisions. If you change one atom of a molecule it is now a different molecule and a different drug. Get the version of what you need that is on sale that day.
Your Intrepid Pharmacist tells his patients to think of it as buying milk in really pretty boxes—you just have to turn the box over to see what kind of milk it is. Come back and reread this opening column after finishing this series and it will all come together nicely. Now, on to the milk!!!
There are essentially five types of "milk" in those pretty boxes: antihistamines, a cough suppressant, an expectorant, decongestants, and pain relievers. Each type of "milk" may be mixed with others in a combination package, which usually produces the most confusion among patients. Many patients are also confused about which medication (or "milk" for our metaphor) has what effect when you take it. To clear things up your Intrepid Pharmacist is providing a look at of what each type of "milk" is, what it does, and if there are other flavors of that particular "milk." He will also be providing some helpful information on appropriate use in children. Be prepared for a few surprises along the way.

Miranda Kerr avoids awkward encounter
Miranda Kerr narrowly avoided running into her alleged love interest's ex-wife and child at Sydney airport as she flew out of the country.PT0M0S 620 349
It was almost the most awkward of rendezvous.
James Packer's ex Erica Baxter flew into Sydney from Los Angeles on Thursday morning, narrowly avoiding her former husband's rumoured love interest, Miranda Kerr.
Baxter, 36, who divorced the billionaire casino baron last year, is now based in the United States and has barely been seen in her home country since the split.

Carrying one of the couple's children on her hip, Baxter passed photographers wordlessly as she exited the airport just before 7am.
A few minutes later Kerr arrived at the same airport to leave the country, wearing a beaded jacket and dark glasses.
She has been in Australia less than a week with her son Flynn, and is believed to have spent time with family and caught up with friends.
Kerr has denied she is dating Packer, saying she is not interested in a relationship following her split from movie star Orlando Bloom last year.
Neither women has commented on Packer's bizarre curbside punch up with his long-time friend David Gyngell outside his Bondi Beach on Sunday.
One of the photographers who captured the angry brawl told Fairfax Media he had been hoping to catch a photograph of Packer arriving home - instead he got the two business heavyweights trading punches and wrestling on the ground.
The images were bought by News Corporation Australia for close to $250,000.

Now here's the best kind of gift: the kind you can steal for yourself. We recently tested the men's Black Fleece EDT from Brooks Brothers ($125) and while we think it's a great scent on a guy (thanks, model, you know who you are), we don't see why a daring gal couldn't wear this spicy, slightly incense-y fragrance. It smells just a touch burnt, but in a very good way. The vetiver, we think, cleans it up a little bit.
If you buy it for your guy, make sure he keeps it somewhere accessible. If you're a guy, hide the bottle. A great co-gift with this.
