Before answering the question in the title, we should clarify what the difference actually is. A blog, after all, is a website, and some websites that are exclusively blogs are quite successful. When it comes to launching an online presence for the first time, it is important to understand the subtle differences.
When we say "whole website", it means your site does something beyond publishing. It may have an ecommerce shopping cart, an interactive community registration system, or any other focus. Blog hosting is best for publishing content, and since "content is king", as they say, some websites include blogs in addition to their other services.
In my days as a web designer, I met many clients who said they wanted websites. Most of them wanted something very simple, a virtual business card that they could show to their customers and say, "Hey look, I'm technologically advanced because I have a website." Some probably just wanted customers to stop asking them if they had one. For those people who have no intention of keeping a site up-to-date, having a blog will only make their site appear stale and old. A blog that says "Hello World!" and has a 2009 timestamp will have that effect.
For those clients who were launching online magazines, news sites, or even just sites to give them an outlet for their self expression, having a blog made sense. Those clients need blog hosting that gives them a wide range of features out of the box, while also giving them the flexibility and scalability (in case they decide to have more than a blog) that most free blog hosting services cannot provide.
A blog content management system like WordPress is an excellent choice because it is free, open source, and extensible. If you are in the market for blog hosting, you should look for a web host that will install and manage your blog software as part of your hosting package.

Home Care for the Vomiting Dog
Vomiting is one of the most common symptoms dogs have. It can be a minor problem or a very significant major problem. As a pet owner, you may not know what to do when this happens, so this article will focus on what you can do at home for your pet, and help you decide when and if veterinary care is needed.
Here are some common questions pet owners ask about vomiting.
What is vomiting?
Vomiting is the act of expelling contents from the stomach through the mouth.
What causes vomiting?
Vomiting can be caused by a variety of problems including eating too quickly, eating too much, eating something that is not digestible, eating a different type of food, eating spoiled food or eating garbage. Some dogs even vomit from drinking too much water! Vomiting can also indicate a systemic problem such as cancer, diabetes, kidney failure, and other infectious diseases.
The BEST thing to do is to call your veterinarian and have your pet examined.
What can I do at home?
Specific home treatments are dependent on the cause of the vomiting.
Here is the general approach to treat a vomiting dog:
• If your pet vomits once and then eats normally with no further vomiting, has a normal bowel movement and is acting playful, then the problem may resolve on its own.
• If you can find any predisposing cause such as exposure to trash, change in diet or eating plants, try to eliminate the source of the problem immediately. Getting rid of the temptation can help to keep your pet from ingesting undesirable items.
If your dog vomits several times and you cannot take your dog to your veterinarian (which is recommended), then you may try the following:
• Administer only prescribed medications. Please check with your veterinarian before giving ANY medications as some can exacerbate the problem.
• Withhold food and water for three to four hours. Often, the stomach lining may be very irritated. Some dogs will want to eat regardless, and they will continue to vomit. Give the stomach time to rest for a few hours.
• After waiting the three to four hours, if your pet has not vomited, offer small amounts of water (a few tablespoons at a time). Continue to offer small amounts of water every 20 minutes or so until your pet is hydrated. Don't allow your dog to over-drink as this may lead to more vomiting, and can make dehydration worse. If there has been no vomiting after the small increments of water are offered, then you may gradually offer a bland diet.
• Small frequent feedings of a bland digestible diet such as: Hill's Prescription Diet i/d, Iams Recovery Diet, Provision EN or Waltham Low Fat are usually recommended. You can make a homemade diet of boiled rice or potatoes (as the carbohydrate source) and lean hamburger, skinless chicken or low-fat cottage cheese (as the protein source). Feed very small amounts at a time. Try not to over feed them as your dog may eat too much and vomit again. Feed a meatball-size portion to start.
• If there is no vomiting, offer a small amount more about one hour later. Give small amounts frequently every three to four hours for the first day. You can gradually increase the amount and decrease the frequency as your dog begins to tolerate it.
• Feed a bland diet for two days, then gradually return to regular dog food over the next one to two days. At first, mix a little of your dog's regular food into the bland diet. Feed that for one meal. Then feed a 50/50 mix for one meal. Then feed ¾ dog food and ¼ bland diet for a meal. Then, half dog food, half bland diet. Using this gradual progression, return to feeding your dog's regular food.
• Leash-walk your pet to allow observation of bowel movements, normal urinations and any additional vomiting that may otherwise occur without your knowledge.
NOTE: Many veterinarians recommend Pepcid AC® (generic name is Famotidine) to decrease stomach acid. This helps many pets. The dosage most commonly used is 0.25 to 0.5 mg per pound (0.5 to 1.0 mg/kg) every 12 to 24 hours.
A 20-pound dog should get about 5 mg to 10 mg total dose once to twice daily.
This is an oral medication, which can be found at most pharmacies in the antacid section. Pepcid (Famotidine) does not require a prescription. It is often used for three to five days.
This is important!
If vomiting continues at any time or the onset of other symptoms is noted, call your veterinarian promptly If your pet is not eating, acts lethargic, has continued vomiting or has any physical abnormalities mentioned above, or others it is important to see your veterinarian. Your pet needs your help and the professional care your veterinarian can provide. If your pet is having the clinical signs mentioned above, expect your veterinarian to perform some diagnostic tests and make treatment recommendations. Those recommendations will be dependent upon the severity and nature of the clinical signs.
When is vomiting an emergency?
• If the vomiting continues after your pet eats, or if your pet acts lethargic or doesn't want to eat, then medical attention is warranted. See your veterinarian.
• If your dog is losing weight, if you see blood in the vomit or if your dog has ineffective vomiting (he is retching but unable to product vomit), this is an important medical emergency. It can be caused by a life-threatening medical emergency called "Bloat". Seek veterinary treatment immediately.
Disclaimer: Advice given in the Home Care series of articles is not meant to replace veterinary care. When your pet has a problem, it is always best to see your veterinarian as soon as possible. But in some cases, it is not always possible to seek veterinary care. You could be traveling, it could be after hours and there are no 24-hour clinics near you, or maybe you simply can't afford it. Whatever the reason, when your pet has a problem, you need answers. Most vets will not give you any information over the phone – they will tell you to bring your pet in for an office visit. So, when these difficult situations arise, many pet owners don't know what to do – and they end up doing the wrong thing because they don't have sound veterinary advice. When your pet has a problem and you can't see your vet, the information in this series of articles can help guide you so that you will not inadvertently cause harm to your pet. However, this information is not a replacement for veterinary care.

text: It's pretty hard to make a case for Johnson being a first round prospect but I wouldn't be surprised at all if he had a 2nd round grade. Looking at draft history, there has only been one small school running back taken in the the past decade, DeAngelo Williams. Williams is the career rushing leader in C-USA and one of the only players in NCAA history to run for over 6,000 yards...he was drafted 27th. That said, there have been a lot of cases of teams drafting unproven players in the first simply because of their 40 times; Matt Jones and Troy Williamson immediately come to mind as two guys who were drafted in the 1st despite a lack of proven production in college. If Johnson is one of the first 6 RBs taken then he'll almost certainly go in the 2nd round. I think he offers too much versatility to last to the third though. With the production Reggie Bush has shown possible as a receiver and with the huge impact guys like Cribbs and Hester have on the return game I think a team who doesn't need a starting RB will jump all over Johnson hoping he can fill those same roles. I don't think it would be great value if we took him in Rd 1, but I wouldn't be upset.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I am a Permanent Resident of the US. I would like to change my legal name, but this might not be the right option since I am still a Citizen of another country and would probably be better to keep everything as is for the other country. I would like to be able to use a new legal name for everything in the US though. It might have been easier if I were a US Citizen, I could just totally change my name legal. I would like to see whether there is an option such as legal alias that I could use for all US related paperwork. Could you give me some advice as to what I could do and how? Thank you in advance.
You should check at the local district court as the process to change your name is relatively easy if it is not done for fraudulent purposes. Then, you can show this certificate when you apply for citizenship.Ask a similar question
Hello, I like your comment. This is the first time I see such a helpful advice about changing permanent residents' name legal in the U.S. I would love if you could give further details as to the following: In case the court approved the name change, can the permanent resident change all his legal U.S. document based on the court order? If so, one of the things he will be able to change is his Green Card which is issued by the USCIS. Also, How does the name change affect the person's children? Can he change their names based on his name change court order? Thanks very much for your valuable advice.

Thanks for helping us sort this video!
Thanks for helping us associate the correct Pornstars to this video!
Help Us: Do these Pornstars appear in this video?
Pornstar Name:
This marvelous scene features two of the most beautiful women who have ever lived being pleasured by one of porn's underrated studs. I give it 4 erections.
Yes, the brunette is hot. I like them both. Nothing better than natural women. I can't understand why the current porn stars shave their pussy hair (no mystery) and defile their bodies with tats and piercings. Even many of the males shave their balls.
Oh yes! That is what I want...hmmm
Who is the brunette... she is stunning!
The film is Air Girls - my dad had it on VHS when I was a kid
I don't know who the sexy brunette is. Seka's the platinum blonde. The guy is David Morris during his hetero phase. At several times during his porn career(from 1976-1995) according to IAFD he was a 'top' in gay porn.
Some errors occurred, please try again later

Gap Analysis
Identifying What Needs to Be Done in a Project
Imagine that you've just been asked to improve call-handling in your organization's contact center.
You already have some possible solutions in mind. However, before you choose a best solution, you need to identify what needs to be done to meet this project's objectives.
This is where Gap Analysis is useful. This simple tool helps you identify the gap between your current situation and the future state that you want to reach, along with the tasks that you need to complete to close this gap.
Gap Analysis is useful at the beginning of a project when developing a Business Case, and it's essential when you're identifying the tasks that you need to complete to deliver your project.
Gap Analysis is not specifically mentioned as a technique in PMBOK or in PRINCE2. However, it's a useful tool that you can apply when working with both of these project management methodologies.
Using Gap Analysis
To conduct a Gap Analysis for your project, follow these three steps:
1. Identify Your Future State
First, identify the objectives that you need to achieve. This gives you your future state – the "place" where you want to be once you've completed your project.
Simple example:
|Future State
|Current Situation
|Next Actions/Proposals
|Answer 90 per cent of calls within 2 minutes.
2. Analyze Your Current Situation
For each of your objectives, analyze your current situation. To do this, consider the following questions:
- Who has the knowledge that you need? Who will you need to speak with to get a good picture of your current situation?
- Is the information in people's heads, or is it documented somewhere?
- What's the best way to get this information? By using brainstorming workshops? Through one-to-one interviews? By reviewing documents? By observing project activities such as design workshops? Or in some other way?
Simple example:
|Future State
|Current Situation
|Next Actions/Proposals
|Answer 90 per cent of calls within 2 minutes.
|Approximately 50 per cent of calls are answered within 2 minutes.
3. Identify How You'll Bridge the Gap
Once you know your future state and your current situation, you can think about what you need to do to bridge the gap and reach your project's objectives.
Simple example:
|Future State
|Current Situation
|Next Actions/Proposals
|Answer 90 per cent of calls within 2 minutes.
|Approximately 50 per cent of calls are answered within 2 minutes.
Pitch your Gap Analysis to provide an appropriate amount of detail. If you present too much detail, people will be overwhelmed, but if you don't give enough detail, you won't tell them what they need to know to sign the project off.
When you analyze your future situation and current state, use metrics where information can be quantified (such as "Salary costs account for 50 percent of the cost of the product."), and general statements when metrics aren't available (such as "Creativity is valued within the organization.")
Also remember that your assessment of the current situation and the desired future state can be both quantitative and qualitative.
For instance:
|Assessment Type
|Current Situation
|Future State
|Total costs are $100 per unit.
|Total costs will be $80 per unit.
|Team members work in isolation.
|Team members will work collaboratively.
While this article illustrates a very simple example, this approach can be very extensive and complex, for example, when it is used to identify software modifications needed as part of IT projects. Don't underestimate how much work your Gap Analysis may involve!
Key Points
Gap Analysis compares your current situation with the future state that you want to achieve once your project is complete. By conducting a Gap Analysis, you can identify what you need to do to "bridge the gap" and make your project a success. You can use it at any stage of a project to analyze your progress, but it's most useful at the beginning.
To carry out a Gap Analysis, first identify your project's objectives – this is your "future state." Then analyze your current situation, making sure that you gather information from the right sources.
Finally, identify how you'll bridge the gap between your current situation and the desired future state.

Worst Client Comments Turned Into Posters
Dealing with clients - for better or worse - is an inevitable part of the process if you are a Creative; and as in any other industry, every now and again you're going to come across one who will struggle to communicate exactly what they want. And then there are some who are just plain dumb...
Celebrating client idiocy in all its technicolour glory, Irish designers Mark Shanley and Paddy Treacy in collaboration with Ad creatives, designers, animators, directors, illustrators and more, turned their favourite worst client feedback into a series of posters, which were then exhibited and sold in aid of Temple Street Children's Hospital.
Which is fabulous and a very lovely thing to do and everything but...um... "Can we make the pig sexier?".

It depends, below is a comparison of both weapons.
M4 carbine:
Pros: 1.Lighter, and more compact.
2.Customizable to a higher degree
3.Specificaly designed for CQC
4.Telescoping butt-stock can be adjusted to fit ones liking, and can extend out to 5-6 inches
5.Has fully-automatic mode of fire, along with 3 round burst, and single-shot
6.Can be used in virtually any situation
Cons: 1.It is only well suited for Low to Mid ranged firefights
2.Because of shorter barrel the Muzzle velocity is significantly lowered
3.Range, along with power, is significantly lowered due to lowered Muzzle velocity
4.Ammo can be depleted easier due to fully-automatic mode of fire
M16 rifle:
Pros: 1.Is incredibly accurate at long range
2.The 3-round burst mode in place of a fully-automaticmode can slow down ammo depletion
3.Long barrel grants high muzzle velocity, thus granting the M16 superior range, and power
4.Also has a Single-shot mode
Cons: 1.Is not very Versatile due to lower degree of customization
2.Only has 2 modes of fire (3 round burst, and single shot)
3.Although the 3 round burst can conserve ammo, it isnt as effective as Fully-automatic fire in close range ancounters.
4.Lightweight, but still Large in terms of length

What If The Tea Party Were Black?
Pittsburgh rapper Jasiri X, inspired by Wise's article, imagined the scenario depicted in the essay, set down lyrics and released the following video:
2 comments:
- Charles said...
Cool video, jeff. I love educated hip hop. Have you ever listened to one "mr.lif"? If you are into this kind of music you would likely enjoy him. All of his albums are good... Sage Francis is another good one, although he is somewhat less politically charged than mr.lif.
If the tea party was black there wouldn't have ever been a tea party. The tea party is a creation of fox news, and they would never fan the flames of a black tea party as they have fanned the flames of this movement.
I feel like reading the autobiography of Malcolm X again. One of my favorite books ever, and poignant even today.

Charles, I'm actually not into hip hop. I just liked the message of this video and the essay that inspired it. Not a criticism of hip hop; it's just not my taste.
I quite agree with you that Fox riles up the tea partiers:
I also recommend "Invisible Man" by Ralph Ellison.

Picture: Nomi Madness and Bobby Trendy World Aids Day press conference, held at Rumor Boutique Hotel - Inside Las Vegas, Nevada - 01.12.10
Madness star LEE THOMPSON was admitted to hospital on Saturday (04Dec10) after he injured himself falling into the audience during a gig.
The band was performing at the De Montfort Hall in Leicester, England when the saxophonist stumbled into the crowd just two songs into their set.
Some lighting equipment also came crashing down with Thompson as the group continued playing track Embarrassment, reports Britain's Daily Star newspaper.
He was then taken backstage, while frontman Graham 'Suggs' MCPherson informed the crowd Thompson had been taken to hospital for medical attention and to put "plasters on his knees".
Madness completed the show without Thompson present.

Texas Republican Leaders Think Gay Marriage Leads to Polygamy, Incest and Pedophilia
We already knew homosexuality was pretty much the same thing as alcoholism. But now, top Texas GOP leaders inform us that allowing gay marriage would be akin to allowing polygamy, incest and pedophilia, according to a brief filed by members of the Texas Conservative Coalition in support of Texas' ban on gay marriages.
Included on list of those who signed the document are lieutenant governor candidate Dan Patrick and several other top party names, totaling 63 Texas Republican politicians who think that if gay people marry the world would completely fall apart.
The brief was filed with the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which is considering an appeal to the U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia's decision this year against the state's marriage ban. The Texas Conservative Coalition showed its opposition to similar "morally reprehensible" actions:
Another ground cited by supporters of Texas' marriage laws and subsequently dismissed by the district court is that recognition of same-sex marriage "could lead to the recognition of bigamy, incest, pedophilia, and group marriage. As already discussed in this brief, restrictions on marriage relating to these moral considerations remain valid. Thus, the goal of actively trying to prevent those practices from becoming valid is entirely rational public policy.
The brief argues that opening up marriage to choice could allow people to choose younger, more and closely related partners. "If the right to select 'partners of their choosing' is the criterion used to invoke marriage as a fundamental right, then marriage restrictions on age, polygamy and consanguinity are also ripe for challenge," says the brief. Of course by that logic, it's a good thing most parents still arrange their kids' marriages.
Upcoming Events
Dan Quinn, a spokesperson for Texas Freedom Network, says the same arguments were made in the Loving vs. Virginia case for interracial marriage. "History has not been kind to those who spoke out against interracial marriage. I think history will judge the anti-gay rhetoric just as harshly," says Quinn.
Quinn is hardly the first to note the rehashed language. A number of legal scholars have pointed out the similarity in rhetoric used by opponents of interracial marriage.
"The argument is dominated by activists who insist that gay people should be second class citizens in this country. And they trot out the same vile rhetoric on any issue having to do with LGBT people," says Quinn. "They can repeat it as much as they want but it doesn't make it true."
"You think they'd know better by now," he said. "For the life of me it's hard to imagine why two gay people marrying is such a danger to someone else's marriage."

Description: In this timely book, Peter Levine challenges conventional wisdom by suggesting that many of our most important communications occur in the bodyrs"s "unspoken voice." By deciphering and making sense of this nonverbal world, he says, anyone can rebound from even a devastating trauma.In an Unspoken Voiceblends the latest findings in biology, neuroscience, and bodyoriented psychotherapy with revealing personal stories, lively case studies, and awareness exercises to show readers exactly how to do this. To understand trauma in the body, mind, and psyche, Levine proposes that, in combination, clinical experience, animal observations, and comparative (cross-species) brain research can help create therapeutic approaches that restore resilience and promote self-healing. He explains how the human nervous system has developed a hierarchical structure based on evolution, how those hierarchies interact, and how the more advanced systems shut down in the face of overwhelming threat, capitulating operations of brain, body, and psyche to more primitive functions. Levine demonstrates how to tap the bodyrs"s wisdom to restore these systemsrs" balance and discusses an unexpected side effect of this approach called "Awakening the Living, Knowing Body"-when animal instinct and reason are brought together, laying the groundwork for becoming more whole human beings.

By Jim Hopkins, USA TODAY
A growing number of small-business owners are only reluctantly planning vacations this summer, with many fretting about key customers while they are away.
Entrepreneurs have strong emotional attachments to their businesses, so they always worry about taking time off.
"Our businesses are our lives," says Rebecca Staton-Reinstein, a business consultant and trainer in North Miami Beach.
Yet this summer, the combination of stiffer competition, soaring oil prices, hard-to-find workers and inflation jitters are making the coming months an especially dicey time to be away.
Owners say they worry most about jeopardizing a major client account by being away from the office: 46% cited that as their top concern, American Express found in an April survey of 618 owners and managers published last week. That's up from 26% three years ago, when the financial services giant started surveying small business vacation plans.
Their unease is potentially felt across a big swath of the business world that's key to economic growth. There are now nearly 25 million small-business owners in the USA, including at least 19 million working full time or part time from home, the Small Business Administration said in a study released Wednesday.
Many owners trim time off rather than delegate work because they worry employees won't be able to handle customer demands, says Peter Horan, CEO of AllBusiness.com, a website offering management advice to small and midsize companies. That chains owners to their desks, pinching growth.
"You can only sleep in the office and eat cold pizza for so long," Horan says.
Staying close to home
Business owner Pat Lyon, 52, is one of the nervous vacationers. He started a document-imaging company, US Imaging of Northwest Pennsylvania, about 18 months ago near Erie, Pa. It makes electronic copies of business records for small companies, such as funeral homes, wanting to reduce storage costs for paper documents. Lyon has two part-time employees, not enough to make him comfortable being away for long from his fledgling enterprise.
"You just don't want anything to go wrong," he said.
Lyon, his wife and four children will only take day trips this summer to see the sights in Pittsburgh and other cities in the region.
He worries that higher gas prices, up an average 36% nationwide from a year ago, could sap economic growth — and his company's revenue — if customers scale back. He's not alone.
About 59% of small-business owners and managers surveyed last month by warehouse retailer Sam's Club said they had "little confidence" or "no confidence" the economy would be stronger in six months. That was up from about 50% in April.
In North Miami Beach, Staton-Reinstein, 66, will take only "mini-vacations" of three or four days this summer, often tacked on to business trips, as she has in the past. She, too, worries about clients when she takes time off. Even on short vacations, she often reads business e-mail daily.
"I try not to be insane," she says. "I don't go in and check e-mail 19 times a day. ... That's not good for me, and I don't think that's ultimately good for the business."
She started Advantage Leadership in 1995, selling strategic planning and leadership development services to manufacturers, non-profits and government. Staton-Reinstein has one full-time employee to run the office, and several part-timers she calls as needed.
The struggle to take a clean break from work is among entrepreneurs' biggest complaints, says the Strategic Coach in Toronto, a consultant to entrepreneurs earning at least $100,000 a year.
The firm recommends that owners take off a generous 150 days annually, including weekend days, to recharge their batteries, says Catherine Nomura, director of business development.
"You're just not as creative, or able to respond as well, if you don't take a vacation," she says.
But many owners skip time off because they don't think they can prepare employees to respond to sudden customer problems while they're away. Entrepreneurs are often strongest at developing ideas, then selling them to customers. But, Nomura says, "They may not be great at training or hiring."
Finding the right staff
Hiring qualified workers who can run the business in the owner's absence is a big part of entrepreneurial worries this summer, says Susan Sobbott, president of American Express' small business division.
"It's a very tight job market, and it makes it really tough to find the right staff to grow and run the business," she says.
Sobbott said 20% of small-business owners surveyed say their biggest challenge is finding the right staff, up from 11% three years ago. That reflects a similar trend in monthly surveys by the National Federation of Independent Business trade group: 41% of those polled in April said there were few or no qualified applicants for job openings, up from 31% three years before.
Even when owners take a break, business is never far away. In Newark, N.J., marketer Peggy McHale will take her annual one-week vacation later this month on North Carolina's Outer Banks. But she'll bring her laptop and cellphone.
"That's the joke; I never leave without my laptop," she says.
About 21% of owners in the American Express survey check in with their companies by phone or through e-mail several times a day.
McHale, 47, can take a full week's vacation because her business partner, Sandi Webster, 43, runs their financial services and telecom marketing firm while McHale is gone. McHale handles the business when Webster is off.
When was the last time McHale took a vacation lasting more than a week? She thought for quite a while before settling on 1997.
"Hard to believe," she said.

Very pleasant greeting at reception.The excelllent quality of the room.
Located 7-minute walk from the beach, very calm and with spacious and confortable rooms. Hotel staff very helpful
Very quiet & family orientated, closeness of beaches, lovely town. Dvd was faulty & took several days to be replaced & a deposit & charge for using safe. Tv channels mostly Portuguese!
Nice peaceful place and friendly staff - also a very good welcome pack on arrival. Having to buy our own toilet paper!! There was one in the toilet on arrival but it was never replenished. Also, the maids only came once during the week to change linen and towels, we emptied our own buckets etc., The apartments would not be suitable to elderly or infirm as it situated in a very hilly area.
Situated in a lovely unspoiled village. Very comfortable well equipped accommodation close to both the beach and the town. Good inexpensive restaurants nearby. Two bedrooms but on different floors and connected by a spiral staircase which was dangerous for young children.
very friendly staff, big house, near beach not enough toilet paper
The vila itself was very well presented, celan and well equipped. The vila castelo facility is well located and equipped. The pool is nice and clean with good facilities. Poolside meals and snack were reasonably priced.
The location was great, and the The beds were uncomfortable and hard.
the apartment was lovely and we enjoyed coming home each evening

A man in southwest China who contracted the bird flu virus died on Sunday, health authorities said, the second human death from the virulent disease in the country in just under a month.
The news comes after neighbouring Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia also reported deaths from avian influenza, and after chickens tested positive for the H5N1 virus in Hong Kong, prompting a mass cull of birds.
The latest Chinese victim fell ill on January 6 and was admitted to hospital in Guiyang — capital of Guizhou province — where his condition rapidly deteriorated, the provincial health department said in a statement.
Tests on the patient before he died confirmed he had contracted the H5N1 virus, it added.
"So far, 71 people who had close contact with the victim have not developed abnormal symptoms," the health department said.
He is the second man to die from bird flu in China in less than a month, after a bus driver in the southern province of Guangdong passed away from the disease on December 31.
The latest death brings to 28 the number of people in China who have died from the disease — which is fatal in humans in about 60 percent of cases — since 2003, out of 42 reported human cases.
The Hong Kong Department of Health said in a statement Sunday it had been notified of the case by the mainland's health authorities, which said the patient was 39 years old.
Authorities from Hong Kong and the mainland have been working closely together since three chickens in the Chinese territory tested positive for the H5N1 virus in mid December.
Most human infections are the result of direct contact with infected birds, and the virus does not pass easily among humans.
The World Health Organization (WHO) says it has never identified a "sustained human-to-human spread" of the virus since it re-emerged in 2003.
But according to the Hong Kong health department, the Guizhou province victim, who has not been named, had not reported any obvious exposure to poultry before the onset of symptoms.
The Guangdong victim, whose surname was Chen, had not had any direct contact with poultry either in the month before he was taken ill, nor had he left the bustling southern metropolis of Shenzhen where he lived.
Aside from China, Vietnam on Thursday reported its first human death from the virus in nearly two years, and the disease also claimed the life of a toddler in Cambodia.
Indonesia, meanwhile, on Friday reported its second human death from bird flu this year when a five-year-old girl who recently lost her relative to the deadly virus also passed away.
China is considered one of the nations most at risk of bird flu epidemics because it has the world's biggest poultry population and many chickens in rural areas are kept close to humans.
But the Guizhou health department sought to ease concerns on Sunday, saying bird flu was "preventable, controllable and treatable."
All in all, the avian influenza virus has killed more than 330 people around the world, and scientists fear it could mutate into a form readily transmissible between humans, with the potential to cause millions of deaths.
Highlighting those fears, the WHO said last month it was "deeply concerned" about research into whether H5N1 could be made more transmissible between humans after mutant strains were produced in labs.
Two separate research teams — one in the Netherlands and the other in the United States — separately found ways to alter the virus so it could pass easily between mammals.

A reverse mortgage is a loan that allows seniors over the age of 62 to convert part of their home equity into a loan. The loan becomes due when the last borrower leaves the home. Refinancing a reverse mortgage is renegotiating a new loan agreement based on a change in your situation. The challenge is determining which factors affect your monthly payment the most.
Determine the main drivers of refinancing eligibility. Eligibility is based on current age, current interest rates, size of the existing loan and the current value of your home. Put simply, the older you are and the more valuable your home, the more you can take out using a reverse mortgage. This holds true for refinancing a reverse mortgage as well.
Review loan requirements by HUD. These change every year. See Resources for a link to the website.
Understand the consequences. Lowering your rate will not result in taking more money out of your home's equity. However, if you refinance based on a different loan amount (that is, perform any action that increases your actual loan amount), you will be reducing the equity in your home.
Consider closing costs. Reverse mortgages usually cost more. Ask your broker exactly what the closing costs are before taking any action. Compare these costs against the amount you expect to save by refinancing.
Contact the Home Equity Conversion Counselor for your area. These counselors are supported by HUD. See Resources for help with finding a counselor in your area.

Every workplace experiences head shaking humor at one time or another. One of the most intense experiences in our industry is dealing with patients who suffer true paranoia about sitting in a dentist's chair. Here at Oyster Point Dentistry we specialize in settling those with dental treatment anxiety. Our treatment services range from pre-treatment counselling (relaxation methodologies and pre-treatment medication) to teaming here on site with medical doctors (Board Certified Anesthesiologists) to deliver sedation and total sleep dentistry treatment here in Newport News Virginia.
What drove us to write today regarding dental patient paranoia? We read the story recently (in one of our dental journals) about a loving husband who no longer could stand idly by why his beloved wife suffered from chronic tooth and gum disease. For her own health and wellbeing, he scheduled her for dental treatment, scheduled annual leave for the day of the appointment, and steadily reassured her in the days leading up to the appointment that everything would be OK.
On the morning of the appointment, the wife appeared incensed about being forced to go to the dentist. She did not say a word that morning and remained silent all the way into the dentist's chair. What those dentists discovered was truly a unique dental case. She had super-glued her teeth together! A long story short here, the treatment involved two phases. First, a staff member went to the local grocer and brought back a bottle of olive oil. In time, the oil broke down the glue's bond and freed her mouth. Second, they used what we offer, heavy dental sedation to calm her and successfully completed the treatment.
They wouldn't print it if it wasn't true. All of this to say, your caring friends here at Oyster Pointe Dentistry (Newport News, Va) know how to get even the most paranoid of patients through their critical dental health care treatments. It's a half-hour to a grocer from here, so don't glue your mouth shut. Call us. We have better ideas.
Many people are afraid of going to the dentist, but most will muster the bravery to go in when their teeth start falling out. However, most people are not Angie Barlow of England.

Human being still trying to figure out what it means to be human.
I want my obituary to say that I spoke and wrote the truth. That I helped people realize they didn't have to hide their mental illness and could be themselves. That I loved and lived in the best way I knew how. And that I did a damn fine job writing it all down.
