A ship museaum called Tannirbavi!
Tannirbavi beach has never been so attractive either to tourists or to Mangaloreans. Even the district administration's efforts to beautify this beach received lukewarm response from the public.
Only a few pairs who never wanted somebody keeping an eye on them dared to be in Tannirbavi.
But thanks to two unfortunate ships MV DenDen[belongs to Eritria] and MV Chang le men[A chinese ship registered in St.Vincent island], the beach has suddenly become a forerunner in attracting tourists, locals among other popular beaches of Mangalore like Panambur, Suratkal and Someshwara.
The potholed road to Tannirbavi is now busy witnessing the mud splashing cars and bikes racing towards the beach, often giving a feeling, good roads are no longer necessary to pull the crowds :)
The beach in Tannirbavi is a notorious one since it took away many lives including the three sailors belonging to DenDen ship and many stubborn persons who tried their chance in sea. Now in a flash has turned out to be a must watch for evey mangalorean.
Ice cream carry vans, chat shops, tea stalls have started to come up. The ship DenDen has fallen along the sea, and chinese vessel Chang le men is standing drifted across the arabean sea. Tannirbavi sea is hiding in its womb another ship Challenger, the tragedy took place a decade ago. The wreck of the ship is still under the sea. Another ship Marediane had been brought to Tannirbavi for ship breaking. But due to certain insurance related problems the ship was abandoned, the wreck is still seen in the waters here.
On last june 23, Denden ship carrying furnace slag capsized in the sea, unable to witstand the ferocious rain and the wind. Three men on board lost their lives while trying to swim to the shore. But 23 sailors were saved by the local fishermen.
The latest addition to the ship museam is Changlemen. The ship carrying 16,100 tonns of iron ore, heading towards china faced imbalance due to ingress of rain water. Then the ship started to tilt, and the captain of the ship had to beach the ship near Tannirbavi. Till today the salvage operation is on, and from last 4 days a team of experts from Holland are carrying this operation. They are hopefull of bringing the ship to sail-worthy condition soon.
But Tannirbavi for good or bad reasons has become either a museam or graveyard of ships!

What is Botox®?
Botox® Cosmetic is prescription medicine a medical professional injects into muscles to temporarily improve the look of both moderate to severe crow's feet lines and frown lines between the eyebrows in adults.
What results can I expect?
You may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours for moderate to severe frown lines, with results lasting up to 4 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Botox®?
Botox is actually something called "botulinum toxin type A." It is one of the current injectable products made available for cosmetic and medical use. Very small amounts are injected into the area being treated. It works by blocking nerves and relaxing the muscle activity in a specific area.
Botox® Cosmetic is the only approved treatment to temporarily improve the appearance of both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crow's feet lines in adults.
How does Botox® work?
Botox® Cosmetic targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines and crow's feet—the repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting over the years. Your specialist will inject these muscles with Botox® Cosmetic to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice a visible smoothing of your crow's feet lines and frown lines between your brows.
Is Botox® right for me?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is one of the most extensively studied medical aesthetic treatments and is approved for cosmetic use in 78 countries.* BOTOX® Cosmetic has a record of experience that aesthetic specialists know and trust. And, the safety and efficacy of BOTOX® Cosmetic have been evaluated in both Allergan sponsored clinical trials as well as in 417 peer-reviewed articles in scientific and medical journals.
As with all medical treatments, please consult your doctor for considering any procedure.
*VISTABEL® outside of North America.
What conditions can Botox® be used to treat?
A little-known fact is that Botox® is effective for much more than holding on to our youthful appearance! Research has shown that botulinum toxin can successfully treat a wide variety of medical conditions, including:
- Migraine headaches
- Severe underarm sweating
- Overactive bladder / urinary incontinence
- Excessive squinting, blinking, lazy eye and crossed eyes
- Cervical dystonia (a neuromuscular disorder of the head and neck)
- Some neurological conditions, such as cerebral palsy
Who should not use Botox® cosmetic?
Do not use BOTOX® Cosmetic if you are: allergic to any of the ingredients in BOTOX® Cosmetic such as botulinum toxin type A and human serum albumin; had an allergic reaction to another botulinum toxin product such as Myobloc® (rimabotulinumtoxinB), Dysport® (abobotulinumtoxinA), or Xeomin® (incobotulinumtoxinA); or have a skin infection at the planned injection site.
What are common side effects?
The most common side effects include temporary injection site pain; weakening of adjacent facial muscles; drooping eyelids; swelling eyelids; and headache. Other side effects, while less common, have been reported including blurred vision, double vision and allergic reactions (itching, rash, red itchy welts, wheezing, asthma symptoms, dizziness or feeling faint).
These are not all of the possible side effects. Call your doctor for medical advice if you experience any side effects after treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic.

Colonel Tim Collins
The following address from Lieutenant
Colonel Tim Collins has been widely covered by the media. It is
truly an outstanding address
Lieutenant-Colonel Tim Collins, the 42-year-old
commander of The Royal Irish battle group, delivered this speech
to his troops in Kuwait on Wednesday afternoon, just hours before
they went into battle.
"THE enemy should be in no doubt that we are his Nemesis and
that we are bringing about his rightful destruction. There are many
regional commanders who have stains on their souls and they are
stoking the fires of Hell for Saddam. As they die they will know
their deeds have brought them to this place. Show them no pity.
But those who do not wish to go on that journey, we will not send.
As for the others, I expect you to rock their world. "We go
to liberate, not to conquer. We will not fly our flags in their
country. We are entering Iraq to free a people, and the only flag
that will be flown in that ancient land is their own. Don't treat
them as refugees, for they are in their own country.
I know men who have taken life needlessly in other conflicts.
They live with the mark of Cain upon them. If someone surrenders
to you, then remember they have that right in international law,
and ensure that one day they go home to their family. The ones
who wish to fight, well, we remember, when they woke up and got
dressed in the morning they did not plan to die this day. Allow
them dignity in death. Bury them properly, and mark their graves.
You will be shunned unless your conduct is of the highest, for
your deeds will follow you down history. Iraq is steeped in history.
It is the site of the Garden of Eden, of the Great Flood, and the
birth of Abraham. Tread lightly there. You will have to go a long
way to find a more decent, generous and upright people than the
Iraqis. You will be embarrassed by their hospitality, even though
they have nothing ...
There may be people among us who will not see the end of this
campaign. We will put them in their sleeping bags and send them
back. There will be no time for sorrow. Let's leave Iraq a better
place for us having been there. Our business now, is north."

Just sampled a recipe at Wegman's and loved it!
Butternut squash w/spinach, red onions, cranberries. I'm not a sweet potato, butternut squash lover usually since I don't prefer sweets with my non-sweets, but this was really delicious and very healthy! If you want to reduce sugar, you could easily omit the cranberries.

U.T. Health
U.T. Health. A natural solution for your pets' urinary tract issues.
U.T. Health is a health supplement for dogs and cats designed as a crisis intervention solution for urinary tract issues. Cats and smaller dogs are particularly prone to infections. Accidents, pain, and difficulty urinating are just a few symptoms your pet may experience if they have a buildup of bacteria, particularly E.coli, in their urinary tract. Commonly, antibiotics are prescribed for these symptoms. While there is nothing inherently wrong with antibiotics, they can't distinguish between good or bad bacteria, leaving your pet's immune system weakened and increasing the chances of recurring infections. Recurring infections can lead to blockages which may ultimately require surgery. U.T. Health is a natural healing alternative featuring D-mannose, which helps to eradicate E. coli, and antioxidant-rich botanicals to support and restore urinary tract health.
•Beef liver powder for palatability
•Eases Discomfort
•Support and restore urinary tract health
•Doesn't negatively affect good/bad bacteria balance
•Natural, plant-based ingredients
•Immune Boosting
D-Mannose is an anti-microbial sugar that occurs naturally in cranberries. It's not metabolized like most sugars, which means it doesn't disrupt pH or blood sugar balance, it doesn't cause additional pancreatic stress (insulin release), and it doesn't change the level of good to bad bacteria in your pet's digestive tract. While getting eliminated from the body through the urinary tract, D-Mannose binds to sites where bacteria are attached. The bacteria, particularly E. Coli, are attracted to D-Mannose and get dislodged, then eliminated from the body along with the D-Mannose.
BOTANICALS – High antioxidant ingredients that benefit the urinary tract
•Parsley: Antiseptic properties & a diuretic
•Uva-Ursi: Antiseptic qualities to help cleanse urinary tract
•Cranberries & Blueberries: Prevent bacteria from adhering to the bladder wall and tissues of the urinary tract
•Goldenseal: Anti-inflammatory, healing for mucous membranes, immune boosting
•Goldenrod: Anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, analgesic, and diuretic
•Dandelion: Natural diuretic, detoxifying
U.T. Health's holistic formula is based off of Vibrant Health's U.T. Vibrance and has been adapted for use in dogs and cats. E. Coli is attracted to D-Mannose and will dislodge from the urinary tract wall, attach to the D-Mannose, and be excreted from the body. In this way, D-mannose helps to eradicate bacteria from the urinary tract. Antioxidant-rich plants such as parsley, goldenrod, and dandelion support and restore urinary tract health by promoting urination and cleansing internally.
Cats & Dogs any age showing signs of infection.
Directions: Mix into your pet's food 3x per day during crisis until entire container is consumed.
Small Dogs/Cats (10-29 lbs): 1/4 scoop 3x/day
Medium Dogs (30-59 lbs): 1/2 scoop/3x day
Large Dogs (60+ lbs): 1 scoop/3x day
Cautions: Safe use in pregnant animals or animals intended for breeding has not been proven. If animal's condition worsens or does not improve, stop product administration and consult your veterinarian.

I don't know how to spell ain't (my husband told me) because it is not a word I use, but I wanted to get your attention for this important information. It came on the Internet from The South's Defender, a blog site. Now this is not on "Truth or Fiction" so you can draw your own conclusions, but I am betting it is true.
The article is titled: "History Channel Caves to Political Correctness in Georgia". It says that the History Channel has made the controversial decision to force cable television companies to pull ads paid for by the Sons of Confederate Veterans in Georgia commemorating the Sesquicentennial (25th anniversary) of the War Between the States.
Do read this article. Find it at http://thesouthsdefender.blogspot.com/ Is the History Chanel guilty of "political correctness"? If so, it "ain't fittin'"

DANCES OF ECSTASY is a sensory journey into the mesmerizing world of trance and ecstasy. Filmmakers Michelle Mahrer and Nicole Ma travelled to traditional and modern day rituals to discover what is the altered state experience which people seek through dance. In these rituals, Whirling Dervishes from Turkey, Orisha priestesses from Nigeria and Brazil, shaman healers from the Kalahari and Korea, and dancers in a Gabrielle Roth workshop in New York pulse to the same beat as thousands of young people at an all night techno dance party in an Australian forest. DANCES OF ECSTASY celebrates the universal human experience where rhythm and dance unite us. DANCES OF ECSTASY is an innovative documentary blending exciting dance rituals, evocative imagery, interviews, and a spellbinding global music soundtrack. The film is an inspiration to dance, and to reconnect with a sense of the sacred that many have lost touch with in modern life.

Pakistan's Hindukush and Karakorum are part of the Himalaya Range, the world's highest and mightiest mountain massif. Experienced climbers call the Karakorum the "wildest" mountains on the globe, both for their jagged, fierce and scary appearance and the very remoteness of a large number of peaks, with hundreds of them unnamed and unclimbed to this day. Many see this as the Karakorum main attraction, too: nowhere else do they find such vast, untouched areas, such amazing, pristine nature and, accordingly, people equally unspoilt by "progress" and tourism, smiling, hospitable and open-minded.
The Hindukush and Karakorum mountains are paradise for climbers, mountaineers and trekkers alike, coming from countries across the globe. Of the world's fourteen eight thousanders, five are in the Karakorum, among them the second highest (and, to many, both the most beautiful and the most difficult) one, named K2 or Mount Godwin Austen. Shaped like a huge diamond, K2 (8,611 m) rises from a spectacular confluence of glaciers, the Concordia, dream destination of the passionate trekker and mountaineer. In its immediate neighborhood, visible from almost the same viewpoint on Concordia, are those famous 8, 000er summits, the two Gasherbrum (8,086 and 8,035 m) and Broad Peak (8,047m). Some distance away, traveling the incredible Karakorum Highway from Rawalpindi to Pakistan's border to China, you catch a glimpse of the legendary Nanga Parbat, the "Naked Mountain" (8,125 m), which, to so many renowned climbers, has been an enormous, and often deadly, challenge.
Further along on the "KKH", as the locals like to call this amazing road along the Indus and Hunza Rivers, part of the ancient Silk Route, the traveler is overwhelmed by the sight of the Hunza Valley, its lush green scenery and bustling settlements cradled by rocky slopes, thundering glaciers and snowy peaks. Where else in the world are you able to see sheer 6,000 altitude meters in one glance?! When you are standing in one of Hunza's orchards and turn to the south, you will see the mighty Rakaposhi Mountain rising in its entirety from the bottom of the valley right to its 7,788-meter-summit.
The people of Pakistan's north are known for their trustworthy and peaceful character. The Hunza area is largely populated by I educated people , If you would like to experience what kind of community the Isma'ili spirit creates, visit
Shimshal, one of the Karakorum remotest but, simultaneously, most friendly-minded and beautiful villages. The Shimshali people, through their lifelong practice of herding their yaks, goats and sheep in the high mountain areas, are excellent climbers. Numerous men from.Shimshalies have climbed more than one – and up to five or more! – Eightthousanders as high porters. Shimshali girls have started to rival them in recent years! This proud tradition, together with their wonderful hospitality, makes the village well worth visiting.

KDYL (AM-1060) has returned to its roots as an oldies music station.
According to "Steve-O" Carlson, the station has permanently departed from its all-American classics music format and has "launched the all-new 'Real oldies' format."
The change was effective Jan. 1.
"It'll be live and local and locally programmed to Salt Lake City. No satellite feed here," Carlson said.
The new format began with just music and jingles, but some of the station's veteran DJs came back this week. On Jan 7, Mark and Gayle Van Wagoner and Danny Kramer returned as part of the new format.
KDYL was an oldies station back in the 1980s, when it was KRSP-AM. The station had children's programming from 1990-1997 and had all-American, nostalgic music since 1997.
KKAT (AM-860) switched from country music to an oldies music satellite show with Scott Shannon last year. So it appears this oldies format is becoming popular again.
KDYL is highlighting oldies music from the 1950s and 1960s, while KKAT is airing more of the late 1950s to early 1970s oldies music, so the two stations are not playing the same songs.
• KOAY IS GONE "The Oasis," a contemporary Christian music station at FM-97.5, is now gone, off the air indefinitely.
KOAY, which started on Sept. 1, 2006, was off the air about Jan. 1.
The station's Web site states: "Simmons Media regrets that our lease with the company that owns KOAY, Millcreek Broadcasting who is in bankruptcy, was terminated by a court on their behalf. Thanks for your previous support and listening to 97.5 The Oasis."
• AM-960 GOES SPANISH The simulcast of "The Zone" sports on KOVO is now gone and an all-Spanish station has taken its place. If you want all-sports, "The Zone" KZNS, AM-1280, is the only place now.
• PEGGY IJAMS LEAVES KEGA After just over two years on "The Eagle" morning show on FM-101.5, Peggy Ijams has left the station. She started on KEGA in October 2005, but had been with Simmons Media for 17 years.
She has a home studio and is in the process of creating a Web site for her voice-over business.
With her departure, Keith Stubbs will be a solo host on the KEGA morning show, 5-10 a.m.
KEGA's other weekday hosts are: Brandie Lane, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.; Cody Lane, 3-7 p.m.; and Tracy Chapman, 7 p.m.-midnight.
Whitney Allen is a syndicated host on the station.
• MORE ON KLO'S CALL LETTERS Boyd Harris, who worked for KLO long ago, was told by station veteran Len Allen that the KLO call letters meant "love Ogden." Dan Jessop, KLO operations director, said Harris recently contacted him and told him that. So, that's another possibility for what those call letters mean. In last week's column, I presented evidence that the "LO" was a reference to Ben Lomond hotel/peak.
Since Allen and many others from KLO's earliest years have passed away, we may never know for sure.
Jessop also said that the KLO call letters could not have referred to Logan/Ogden, because the station's signal never reached Cache County in the early days.
