“A nice sampler of all that Mt. Airy has to offer.”— Chris Davis
At this point, either pick D Trail (Quarry Trail) or F Trail (Furnas Trail) and run down off the ridge. You'll cross a stream on either trail you choose, and then the trails converge after about 0.75 of a mile, and you'll follow F Trail (Furnas Trail) straight to begin the climb back out to the top of the ridge again. This part of the trail goes very close to the ravine (very steep sides, stay on the trail!).
Continue on to cross a couple of small ravines, then the trail will curve and head up Hawthorne Ravine. This ravine is quite wide, and the trees here are stunning in the fall (lots of maples), but with winter you get a fabulous sweeping view though the road noise is more prominent as well.
Keep left at the next two trail intersections—F Trail Connector and L Trail (Cedar Trail). This leads you down to the trailhead parking and a small picnic area. After a brief rest, prepare to climb, and take G Trail (Twin Bridges Trail) to climb back up the ravine to the ridge.
After climbing up the ridge, you'll pass the F Trail Connector the trail will then split, take the left split to pick up H Trail (Beechwood Trail). Once on this trail, you'll start to loose elevation quickly; use caution if it is wet as the combination of mud and slick hardwood leaves tends to make this area quite treacherous in wet weather.
At the next split in the trail, take H Trail Connector, stay left and cross behind and under Everybody’s Treehouse. Exit onto Trail Ridge Road and return to your car.

There is a consistent thread on where the need arises for a fractional CMO. Interestingly, this is consistent whether the company is 2 or 15 years old, whether it’s B2B or B2C, whether they have under $5 million in revenue or over $100 million.
- Growth has stalled (yet still can be quite profitable)
- Objective is to find way to significantly accelerate growth (e.g., double revenue or more)
- Only junior to mid-level marketing staff on board, as few as 1 person in the “department”
- Marketing plan doesn’t exist
- Marketing exists to service sales and/or the CEO
These companies typically have been quite successful but have plateaued. Growth has stalled in part due to the fact that no one in the organization owns the customer across functional silos, someone to champion customer interests and needs, someone with an eye on and in touch with the target market at all times.
Growth has stalled because no one owns the customer across silos
Success has been driven by strong product/service and/or sales effort. And to be successful, plans were developed and adhered to: product development plans, sales plans, financial plans, etc. So it isn’t surprising that marketing hasn’t contributed when there has been no investment in putting together a marketing strategy or plan to fuel growth. “Let’s go to that trade show,” or “let’s advertise on Facebook” falls far short of a plan.
It’s only now that these firms are beginning to recognize the role and value of a CMO and his/her department. In recent posting on www.cmo.com, Jake Sorofman, a research VP at Gartner describes how the “most progressive CMOs think like CEOs.”
He does a great job highlighting how the role is critical to success: “More often than not, CMOs take the lead or substantially contribute to digital commerce, customer experience, and innovation projects, and most CMOs now own or share P&L responsibilities….Customer experience is the new battlefield for competitive differentiation; innovation cycles have compressed; and consumer expectations for personalized and tailored products and experiences are growing rapidly. Marketing is now data-driven, technology-dependent, broader in scope, and more accountable to business metrics than ever before.”
As for the marketing department, Sorofman describes: “The pressure and responsibility is shared across the entire marketing organization. Today, marketers are expected to be both broad and deep…They have utility skills in many aspects of data, technology, design, brand, etc. They don’t need an army to accomplish a whole lot. And they focus their efforts through the lens of the customer and specific KPIs. There’s no hiding behind the veil of internal goals and highly specialized roles anymore.” The full article is here: http://www.cmo.com/interviews/articles/2017/3/3/quick-chat-with-gartners-sorofman-the-most-progressive-cmos-think-like-ceos.html
I was fortunate to have landed my first job at Procter & Gamble where we “owned” the business results of our brand (for me it was Crest and then Vidal Sassoon) as we worked across all functions to ensure brand revenue growth. Subsequently, forward thinkers in B2B and B2C companies hired me to build marketing organizations that were responsible for and led company growth.
In these cases, the CMO became the right hand of the CEO, involved in every decision that impacted the customer which meant every critical decision.
If you lead an organization, ask who “owns” the customer? Is your organization customer-centric? Is there an advocate for what’s right for the customer in every executive meeting? Is there a marketing strategy that clearly positions your firm as different and better for a specific target audience? How thorough is the marketing plan and does that plan lay out a path towards profitable growth?
Clearly, organizations recognize the growing importance of marketing and how CMOs area of responsibility now covers more of the sales/enterprise P&L and customer success functions. In fact, just recently I was engaged in a meeting with a bunch of sales executives across different companies and industries who acknowledged that their relative role is shrinking while marketing might influence as much as 60% of the sales process.
One challenge in this evolution is that CEOs have CMOs and marketing staff without the skillsets to handle the evolution, becoming more frustrated and impatient as expectations increase.
CEOs grow more frustrated and impatient with their CMOs as expectations increase
For small to mid-size companies that can’t afford the risk of failing to find the right CMO who thinks like a CEO (thus risk a bad hiring decision), it is often most expedient and productive to turn to a fractional CMO. This interim executive can instill confidence with the CEO and has the experience to help the organization become customer/marketing-led. He/she can lead existing staff, begin demonstrating the revenue impact of marketing strategies and plans, and establish a structure that can be handed off to a full-time executive.
This creates a natural transition for your on demand/interim CMO who can prove the concept but won’t cost a loaded salary. Best of all to limit the risk – you can terminate easily at any time.

Get to know Curtis stone
This Aussie chef, bestselling author and TV personality released his fifth cookbook, What’s for Dinner?: Recipes for a Busy Life, in April
My favourite food in the world is my mum’s roast pork dinner with crackling. It tastes so damn good and reminds me of family dinners. My favourite dish to make at the moment would have to be my caramel pot de crème from my latest cookbook What’s For Dinner? because it makes everyone smile. My cooking philosophy is to cook as Mother Nature intended and treat ingredients simply. Mother Nature did such a fine job why tamper with her good work? When I’m in Australia I love to eat at so many places! Australia is brimming with interesting restaurants, but my favourite place would have to be my mum’s place! I’m inspired by Marco Pierre White. He was my mentor for so many years and really shaped my appreciation for French cuisine – and taught me so much! The one dish I can’t live without is a spring lamb roast. I miss Aussie lamb! You’d be surprised to find ice cubes laced with summer berries in my freezer. The culinary tool everyone needs is a good knife. You don’t need a selection of 20, just a nice sharp chef’s knife and a solid chopping board and you’re halfway there. For fun I get out in my veggie garden with my son Hudson and our golden retriever. curtisstone.com
Curtis Stone’s Asian crab cakes with mango chutney
• serves 6 • Prep time: 45 minutes • Cooking time: 15 minutes • make-ahead: The chutney can be made up to one week ahead. Up to step 3, the crab cakes can be made up to 8 hours ahead, covered and refrigerated.
• 1⁄2 cup sugar • mango, pitted, peeled, and cut into 5mm dice • 1⁄4 cup unseasoned rice wine vinegar • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice • sea salt
• 1⁄2 cup mayonnaise • 1 large egg • 2 tablespoons Thai or Vietnamese fish sauce • 1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh coriander • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil • 1-2 teaspoons seeded and finely chopped medium red chilli • 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt • Finely grated zest of 1 lime • 1⁄4 cup finely chopped spring onions, whiteand green parts • 500g crabmeat, picked over for cartilageand shells, well drained • 11⁄2 cups panko (Japanese bread crumbs) • 6 tablespoons canola oil • 60g unsalted butter • 1⁄2 Lebanese cucumber, sliced into thinrounds, and then into matchstick-size strips • Fresh coriander sprigs, for garnish • Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon or fleur desel, for garnish
1. To make the chutney: Heat a medium heavy saucepan over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the sugar and cook without stirring, tilting the pan as needed so that the sugar cooks evenly for about 5 minutes or until it melts into an amber caramel. Do not stir or the caramel will crystallise. Remove from heat and stir in the mango (the caramel will seize), then the rice vinegar and lime juice. Return to medium heat and stir constantly for about 5 minutes, or until the mango is translucent and the caramel is dissolved and syrupy. Transfer to a bowl and let cool. Season with salt.
2. To prepare the crab cakes: In a large bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, egg, fish sauce, ginger, coriander, sesame oil, chilli, salt, and lime zest together, then whisk in the spring onions. Add the crabmeat and stir to coat, breaking it apart coarsely to leave small whole chunks in the mixture. Fold in the panko. Cover and refrigerate the crab mixture for 30 minutes so that the mixture is easier to form. Using about 1/3 cup of the crab mixture for each cake, shape into 12 x 2cm-thick crab cakes and place on a baking tray.
3. To cook the crab cakes: Preheat the oven to 95°C/75°C fan-forced. Line a baking tray with paper towels. Heat a large nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons of the canola oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter and heat until hot but not smoking. Working in 2 batches, fry 6 crab cakes for about 2 minutes on each side, or until crisp and golden, adjusting the heat as needed to brown evenly without scorching. Transfer to the baking tray and keep warm in the oven. Wipe out the pan with paper towels and repeat with the remaining canola oil, butter, and 6 crab cakes.
4. To serve: Place 2 crab cakes on each plate. Spoon some mango chutney over and beside crab cakes. Top each with the cucumber and garnish with the coriander sprigs and sea salt.
Sydney goes Greek
Peter Conistis has flowed in and out of Sydney’s restaurant scene for years. This year he is back... with a bang – a deliciously decadent bang of all good things Greek
The white glass sliding doors to Peter Conistis’ most recent endeavour transports you back to Athens, where tradition meets contemporary: ancient text carved into a large ruin-like wall, airy white high ceilings and soft glowing lights. The Hellenic site houses a mezze bar, a casual restaurant and food store surrounded by village-inspired installations. Cooking alongside his mother, Peter’s culinary passion has existed in Sydney for 20 years with Civic Dining, the two-hatted Omega, Cosmos, and Eleni’s restaurant – now with the $4 million Alpha establishment and plans to further expand his Grecian empire. Greek cocktails are available with a selection of wines from Australia and various regions of Hellas with your mezze and home cooked pita starters. The spanakopita, dolmades and Greek-spiced slow-roasted lamb shoulder are the traditional favourites from the mezzanine kitchen. And a ‘vintage’ section offers the signature moussaka, silky layers of eggplant, cream with seared scallops along with the rabbit and black olive pie. Contemporary dishes are sure to intrigue; an ouzo-cured ocean trout, the mastic-spiced quail fetta watermelon salad and the loukoumades, a Greek spiced honey syrup doughnut ball served with candied walnut ice-cream. Good wholesome Greek food, kali orexi! alpharestaurant.com.au
Anatoli at the Eastern
Matt Fitzgerald, head chef at Sydney’s Anatoli, doesn’t look like your typical Greek chef but he does put a mean Greek meal together. He shares (some) of his secrets with DRIVEN
What inspired the menu? For Anatoli’s menu, I started with the fantastic produce available in Australia, then gathered ideas and inspiration from the diverse produce of Greece and its cuisine to create what we call a modern Greek-inspired menu.
What does true Greek dining mean to you? Sharing! It’s the Greek way to have plenty of dishes and share them with family, friends and guests while enjoying each other’s company and a few wines or ouzo! Are there any traditional Greek cooking methods used in the Anatoli kitchen? I spent countless hours researching Greek cuisine and putting what I learnt into practice by getting into the kitchen with two generations of Greek families. I certainly picked up some family secrets along the way. When the meals were designed, what factors were taken into account? We are utilising the flavours and ingredients of Greece to come up with dishes, not just reworking old Greek dishes that everyone knows. We are trying to be much more original in what we do, rather than follow the traditional route, and offer something Sydney hasn’t experienced before.
What is your favourite food region in Greece? I would have to say Crete as it has an abundance of produce from the land and sea, as well as some fantastic wines.
What’s your favourite dish on the menu? The lamb belly with sumac, mustard and roast walnuts is very tasty and it’s a cut of meat you don’t see too often on menus. I also love the roast sardines.
What inspired the open pastry kitchen? It all came down to space; our savoury kitchen is small as it is and utilising that lovely large bar in the centre of the restaurant to fit in a pastry area was a sensible choice. We do all our desserts, bread for the taramasalata and our Greek-inspired petit fours there. theeastern.com.au/anatoli
Surf n’ Turf
Surrounded by the ocean, it’s no wonder restaurants all around the Australian coastline serve scrumptious fish straight out of the sea. Australian beef is also world renowned. Here, two restaurants that serve up the best of land and sea
For seafood: Flanagans Dining Room in Thirroul, NSW
Summer is here, and the spot to be for dinner? Overlooking the beach – of course. Located on the stunning shoreline of Thirroul Beach in NSW, Flanagans Dining Room offers unspoiled views over the Tasman Sea. The setting is the ideal backdrop for the restaurant’s fresh and simple philosophy that utilises the best wild-caught seafood and locally-sourced produce. This focus on using seasonal ingredients means no two days at Flanagans are the same, so exploring the menu is fun each and every time. Head chef Arman Uz sources his seafood daily from the surrounding Wollongong coast, making the menu replete with a broad variety of wild fish such as bonito, leather jacket and John Dory. “I don’t order, I choose to pick up our seafood every morning, just after it comes off the boat. I never know the menu for the day until I see what has been caught that morning,” Arman says. “Usually John Dory, yellow tail kingfish, snapper, yellow fin tuna, bream, rock cod, monkfish, garfish, squid, mullet and leather jacket are common, but it changes daily. What remains constant is the short time from ocean to the plate.” Arman combines training in his Turkish homeland and renowned Sydney restaurant, Efendy, to add a contemporary Middle Eastern and Mediterranean touch to the menu – but lets the freshness of the produce speak for itself, concentrating on simple and classic flavours. His signature dishes include pickled and grilled bonito with mustard cress and pinenuts; confit leg and roasted breast of guineafowl with fava bean puree and shimeji mushrooms; and an adaptation of Turkish street food called octopus kokorech. Must-try dish: There’s nothing quite like fresh grilled fish (catch of the day of course). So seductively simple it’s celestial. flanagansdiningroom.com.au
For steak: Steakhouse ‘98’ in Rockhampton, Queensland
Rockhampton is known as the beef capital of Australia, mainly because of the sheer concentration of cattle within the area – Australia has between 26 to 28 million head of cattle across the country, with Rockhampton sitting at approximately four to five million of that. The region is covered in prime cattle-raising pasture and, better still, produces some of the most beautiful tasting and tender beef of any area in Australia. The place to get the best steak? Steakhouse ‘98’ is Rockhampton’s signature steakhouse – here the meat comes super tender and succulent. Doogan O’Hanlon, owner and passionate beef eater, says, “while we source a lot of beef locally and also from other leading Australian beef producing areas, we have a tenderisation process and precise ageing time for all of our beef to go through before we will let it hit our char grill. This process then ensures us to consistently produce succulent, juicy tasting steak for the diner.” What’s the process we hear you ask? “All of our beef is wet-aged vacuum-sealed for a minimum of six weeks. This breaks down the structural proteins within the muscle tissue, 70 per cent of the breakdown occurs within the first 10 days of this process and then the optimum time is from the six- week mark.” Must-try dish: ‘Teys Gold’ eye fillet. “It’s a local eye fillet and it is just sensational,” says Doogan... in between bites. 98.com.au/restaurant.htm
5 minutes with Ruth Gallace from Rebello
Ruth Gallace and her husband Matt started boutique winery and cider house Rebello some eight years ago, making fruit wines using berries from the family farm on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. Two years ago they moved to cider, producing Australia’s first 100 per cent real fruit-blended cider, Cheeky Rascal, and experienced such phenomenal success that the trial run sold out before production even finished. They have since won a string of accolades, both nationally and internationally. We chat to Ruth about their success
What inspired you to start Rebello? Matt’s parents own one of the largest strawberry farms in Australia, Sunny Ridge, and a lot of product is simply not suitable for supermarkets or wholesale markets due to it being out of shape or slightly bruised. We wanted to find a use for that fruit and, being situated on the Mornington Peninsula, we saw wine as a really viable option. At the time, a lot of the fruit wine made in Australia was of poor quality so we saw this as an opportunity to set the standard in quality fruit wines in this country.
How did the name Rebello come about? Rebello is a play on the Italian word for rebel. Matt’s grandfather came to Australia from Italy some three decades ago and bought land on the Mornington Peninsula where he planted fruit trees. On a holiday, his son Mick thought the land would be better suited to strawberries and pulled the trees and replanted the land with strawberries, and Sunny Ridge Strawberry Farm was born. We wanted to reflect that sense of rebel in the family and our own move to break away from the family business and do something completely different – while still respecting the traditional winemaking techniques handed down over generations.
Why did you decide to move into ciders? Cider started gaining a cult following in 2010 but there weren’t any 100 per cent real fruit- blended ciders in Australia. We decided to change that! The first ciders we made were apple and strawberry apple. The popularity of our ciders has taken us all by surprise, and we’ve continued to evolve the range to now include seven new varietals never attempted before, which are based purely on consumer feedback.
Tell us about the pairing of your wines and ciders with food. Our products extend from sparkling fruit wines made with 100 per cent real strawberries, to ciders made from different varieties of apple and berries, depending on the season. We don’t use additives, flavourings or concentrates in our products. Our most successful sparkling ‘Strawbellini’ [the only Australian sparkling to be awarded a double gold medal at the San Francisco International Wine Competition along with France’s renowned Veuve Clicquot and America’s Piper Sonoma] is perfect when served alongside smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. Or for a real indulgence try it with some of Sunny Ridge’s freeze-dried chocolate-coated strawberries. Our products are just as good paired with decadent dishes such as confit duck ravioli in buerre noisette with mixed leaves, fresh pomegranate and apple cider vinaigrette; finished off with Strawberry Port infused Stilton cheese... or simply with your favourite roast.
What other products have you launched? Our most recent product is Cheeky Little Batch – artisan batches of cider made with victorian heritage kingston black and Dabinett cider apples, some wild yeast and an oak barrel ferment – which was paired perfectly most recently at the Brunswick Street Cider House in Melbourne with German-inspired succulent pork belly roast.
Are people able to visit your cellar door or is it all online? We have a cellar door at Sunny Ridge Strawberry farm, as well as online.
What’s next for Rebello? In November, we will release a Methode Cider, which is an alternative to sparkling wine or Champagne. It’s made using 100 per cent local granny smith apples, with only 1000 bottles to be initially produced. And we are extending our products to more independent outlets across Australia and are looking at export markets particularly in South East Asia. rebellowines.com.au

First phase of new Daventry neighbourhood takes major step forward with over 200 homes planned
A new neighbourhood in Daventry has taken a significant step forward after Midlands-based homebuilder Spitfire Homes and Crest Nicolson secured reserved matters approval to build 222 properties on land at Malabar Farm.
West Northamptonshire Council’s strategic planning committee has approved current proposals, representing the first phase of the development, which will comprise a mix of one- to five-bedroom homes, 65 of which will be affordable.
The wider scheme will also incorporate more than 20 hectares of public open space, a new primary school, nursery and community centre, alongside food and retail units.
Located on the western edge of Daventry, the 50-hectare development already has outline planning permission for up to 1,100 new homes, meeting rising demand for homes due to employment growth, investment activity and strong connectivity links in the area.
Defined by its West Northamptonshire countryside setting and strategic location at the heart of the national road network, Daventry provides a rare and sought-after balance of urban and rural lifestyles.
Ben Leather, Managing Director at Spitfire Homes, said:
“Daventry is a growing market with house hunters looking for accessible country living and an attractive work-life balance. Strong transport links and employment opportunities in the area make it particularly attractive for new home buyers, so we expect to see a lot of interest in these homes.
“We’re committed to meeting the rising demand for new homes across the Midlands region, supporting our vision to deliver high-quality, future-proofed homes fit for modern living.

Issues at Work? How You Can Bring Change in the Workplace
Things aren’t working out so well for you at the office. Your work performance isn’t what it should be. You aren’t connecting with the other employees. Changes need to be made. You aren’t happy. You aren’t satisfied. You’re ready to call it quits. Why? What’s going on that’s causing these frustrations? What is it that’s really at the heart of the matter?
When changes need to be made, look to your own self first. Search your heart for the deep imbedded issues. Why are you really upset? Are you not getting the recognition you deserve? Are you having trouble respecting your peers and your superiors? Or is there something really going on that needs to change? If a change really needs to be made, is it important enough to take the steps and be a catalyst for that change? Those questions need to be asked once you realize there is a problem, and you are the only one with the answers.
Let’s say that the root of the problem is the lack of professionalism among the other employees. Off-color jokes, inappropriate language, and tasteless e-mails abound. You see this as irritating, distracting, and wasteful. Deep down you realize that it’s the cause of your own poor work performance. If the others spend their time like this, then why should you be the one doing all the work? If your peers and employers don’t deserve your respect, then why should they be given your best?
The longer this continues, the worse the situation becomes. While you realize that a change must be made, or you will find yourself out of a job, you really don’t know what to do to change anything. You aren’t the one in charge. You’re at the bottom of the org chart. No one reports to you. How can you make a difference?
How can someone who is not in charge be the catalyst for change? How can an everyday employee promote a higher quality of professionalism when they have no authority? What avenues are available to the men and women who work with and for those who do not possess good work etiquette? Change usually does come from the top down. The leadership of the organization has the responsibility to set the tone their employees. However, anyone, no matter what position they have, can bring about positive change.
If you find yourself asking these types of questions, please know that there is hope. There are steps that you can take to bring about positive improvements. You can be a catalyst for change in the workplace!
The first thing to do is to speak up. Do you have a mentor can trust to share your frustrations with? Someone who can walk you through these issues and help you to either accept the other employees as they were, confront one of two of them individually, or perhaps intervene himself and discuss the problem with the others. Either way, sharing your concerns with a trusted individual will help you process the issue and equip you with the skills necessary to deal with the concerns.
If you do not have a specific mentor assigned, look around for a trusted friend that you can confide in. Is there someone in the office who understands the culture of the workplace yet will listen to you with an open mind and keep your conversation confidential? Talk to them and look for solutions. By keeping frustrations to yourself, you will only allow the problem to escalate. Instead of bringing a solution to the problem, by keeping quiet, you actually seemed to condone the conduct.
After you talk through the problem with your mentor, if you still feel strongly about the change, then it’s time to take the issue to your supervisor. Once you bring this to your supervisor’s attention, he is then responsible to take the matter into his own hands. He cannot make the change if he doesn’t know that there is a problem. Sometimes, he may even be part of the problem. Yet if he doesn’t know how his behavior and the behavior of the others are affecting you personally and professionally, then there is nothing for him to change.
Everyone, no matter their level of authority, has the ability and the responsibility to bring solutions to the problems at hand. Instead of being a part of the problem, be a part of the solution. Don’t keep your frustrations to yourself. Look for ways to make changes in your own work and your own circle of influence. Set the example. You can be the catalyst for change.

In this masterful new novel, set in 1950s North Carolina, the acclaimed author of The Road to Bittersweet
and The Education of Dixie Dupree
brings to life an unforgettable young heroine and a moving story of family love tested to its limits.
For twelve-year-old Martha “Sonny” Creech, there is no place more beautiful than her family’s cotton farm. She, her two brothers, and her parents work hard on their land—hoeing, planting, picking—but only Sonny loves the rich, dark earth the way her father does. When a tragic accident claims his life, her stricken family struggles to fend off ruin—until their rich, reclusive neighbor offers to help finance that year’s cotton crop.
Sonny is dismayed when her mama accepts Frank Fowler’s offer; even more so when Sonny’s best friend, Daniel, points out that the man has ulterior motives. Sonny has a talent for divining water—an ability she shared with her father and earns her the hated nickname “water witch” in school. But uncanny as that skill may be, it won’t be enough to offset Mr. Fowler’s disturbing influence in her world. Even her bond with Daniel begins to collapse under the weight of Mr. Fowler’s bigoted taunts. Though she tries to bury her misgivings for the sake of her mama’s happiness, Sonny doesn’t need a willow branch to divine that a reckoning is coming, bringing with it heartache, violence—and perhaps, a fitting and surprising measure of justice.

Treatment of the Class V Lesion: Crown Lengthening or Crown Shortening?
Timothy J. Hempton, DDS; Dimitrios Drakos, DDS; Philip J. Koralishn, DDS; Raymond Martin, DDS
Defects in tooth structure at the cervical portion of the clinical crown can occur as a result of caries, abrasion, chemical erosion, gingival recession, or abfraction. Class V caries occur on the buccal and lingual aspects and may extend subgingivally, limiting the therapist’s ability to remove them completely and place a proper restoration. Non-carious lesions, such as abfractions, may also extend subgingivally.
The exposure of dentin in the cervical portion of the tooth caused by caries, non-carious lesions, or periodontal attachment loss may result in root sensitivity and possible continued destruction of tooth structure. Dentin is less mineralized than enamel and, therefore, less resistant to acid degradation. Composite restorations are often utilized as a treatment for cervical caries or non-carious Class V lesions. This therapy is provided to reduce or eliminate sensitivity and prevent further destruction of tooth structure.
In circumstances where Class V lesions extend subgingivally, periodontal crown lengthening surgery may be employed. To predictably expose the lesion, repositioning the attachment apparatus via an apically-positioned flap, in combination with osseous resection, may be needed. In order to facilitate a more secure restoration, undercuts may be placed in sound tooth structure. Additional removal of tooth structure to facilitate restorative treatment and concomitant resection of supporting periodontal tissue can be described as subtractive therapy.
An alternative to placing restorative material for Class V lesions can be found in regenerative periodontal surgery, which is biologically reconstructive in nature. Predictable coronal positioning of the free gingival margin with concomitant attachment subsequent to caries removal can be achieved through surgical intervention.1,2 Commonly known as root coverage procedures, they are essentially crown-shortening procedures.
The purpose of this paper is to describe anatomical considerations that would direct a therapist toward utilization of a crown-lengthening procedure or a crown-shortening procedure to achieve health, function, and esthetics. Two contrasting cases are presented to illustrate the advantages and limitations of subtractive and reconstructive therapy.
Clinical Crown Lengthening: A Review
Surgical exposure of a Class V lesion can be achieved via a gingivectomy or an apically- positioned flap. Factors that influence the therapist’s decision in choosing one procedure over the other include the occlusal-apical height of gingiva and the location and thickness of the underlying osseous tissues. A minimum occlusal-apical height of 5 mm of gingiva, with 3 mm of attached gingiva adjacent to subgingival restorations, has been recommended.3 A biologic width of 3 mm is recommended between the most apical extent of a restorative margin and the osseous crest.4
Preservation of the existing band of keratinized tissue that is less than or equal to 5 mm, as well as access to the underlying osseous tissues, would require flap elevation for recontouring. A predictable crown-lengthening procedure occurs when positive osseous contours are established with the osseous crest located 3 mm from existing and proposed restorative margins.5,6
In the presence of periodontal health, the interdental osseous tissues would already be coronal to the interproximal osseous structures. Parabolic osseous contours on the facial and lingual aspects of the dentition, which are apical to the flat or convex contours in the interdental area, define positive architecture. In the case of the true Class V lesion occurring in periodontal health, interdental tissues do not need to be accessed if the caries, fracture, or abfraction does not encroach on the proximal surfaces of the tooth. The therapist need only recontour on the facial aspect a scalloped osseous crest, in an apical direction 3 mm from the proposed Class V restorative margin.
Clinical Case I: Crown Lengthening
A 27-year-old male presented with Class V carious lesions located on the facial aspects of the maxillary anterior dentition and premolars (Figure 1). The patient did not report any medical conditions and was not a smoker. Clinical and radiographic evaluation did not reveal any attachment loss or bone loss. Subsequent to anesthetizing the patient, subgingival probing of the involved dentition with an explorer revealed a glassy hard surface consistent with enamel. A periodontal probe was utilized to sound to the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ), which was noted to be approximately 3 mm apical to the free gingival margin. Periapical radiographs indicated several millimeters of enamel, on average, located apical to the lesions and on the aproximal surface of the involved dentition (Figure 2).
These clinical and radiographic findings led to a diagnosis of incomplete passive eruption. Surgical excision of the appropriate amount of soft and osseous tissues can facilitate restorative therapy when subgingival caries is present. Therefore, flap elevation to allow for evaluation and possible alteration of osseous contours was treatment planned.
A scalloped incision was performed following the contours of the CEJs of the involved teeth that were sounded (Figure 3). As the patient had a 6-mm to 7-mm band of keratinized tissue, a margin of gingiva was removed to create flap contours that would match the contours of the CEJs. Following elevation of the facial flap, the anatomical crowns were fully exposed.
Two millimeters to 3 mm of enamel was present apical to the caries (Figure 4). It was noted that the osseous crest was within close proximity to the CEJ on multiple tooth sites. In order to facilitate a predictable outcome and prevent rebound of soft tissue coronally, the osseous crest was resected to an apical position, 3 mm from the CEJ. Because the patient did not have clinical attachment loss and radiographs indicated adequate bone height, the interdental tissues were left intact. Subsequent to ostectomy, positive osseous contours were established on the facial aspects of the treated dentition (Figure 5).
The flap was then positioned apically and sutured with 5-0 silk (Figure 6). At 3 months, the patient was referred to the general dentist for placement of composite restorations (Figure 7). A 3-month waiting period is recommended because no significant positional changes of the free gingival margin will occur after that period.7
Clinical Crown Shortening: A Review
Anatomy of root exposure
Coverage of exposed root surfaces was first described in the 1960s using the sliding pedicle flap.8 A classification system for predictable root coverage utilizing free gingival autologous grafts from the palate has been described that allowed for predictable root coverage irrespective of the width and depth of the root exposure, as long as the interdental tissues were intact (e.g., Miller Class I and II).9 The basic premise is that interdental tissues would provide an additional blood supply for nutrient support for the free graft.
Root coverage flap techniques
Prior to Miller’s work, a 2-stage procedure was proposed in which a free gingival graft was placed apical to the free gingival margin and subsequently coronally positioned.10 Advancement of the flap is achieved via a partial thickness flap which was dissected apical to the mucogingival junction. In the 1980s, others demonstrated that flaps positioned over connective tissue grafts could result in a predictable outcome for root coverage procedures in Miller Class I and II root exposures.11 Recently, another key to success was release of flap tension, as well as a minimum flap thickness of about 1 mm.12
Root surface modification
Decontamination of the root surface was initially achieved via root flattening with hand and rotary instrumentation, as well as use of citric acid.13 Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and tetracycline for root decontamination have also been investigated. However, studies comparing these 2 agents, as well as citric acid, to root planing have not demonstrated any clinical benefits.14 It was also demonstrated that excessive removal of root structure with scaling and root planing was no longer necessary, and that root decontamination of non-carious lesions could be achieved with polishing.15
Nature of the attachment
The nature of the attachment between the surface of the root previously exposed to the oral cavity and the grafted tissue has been described in many histological studies. It has been reported to be a fibrous adhesion,16 a long junctional epithelial attachment,17 or the combination of some regeneration, adhesion, and long junctional epithelium.18 Despite the nature of the attachment, it has been demonstrated that root coverage is successful over the long term and tended to improve with time (i.e., coronal creep of the healed graft).19
Roots with caries, abfractions or previous restoration
Three cases involving the removal of previously placed composite Class V restorations, followed by thorough root planing, have been described.20 Flaps were advanced over connective tissue grafts in order to achieve ideal tooth length. Furthermore, there is evidence showing that coverage of previously carious roots is as predictable a procedure as coverage of intact roots.21
Clincal Case II: Crown Shortening
A 43-year-old, healthy, non-smoker male presented with non-carious Class V lesions on teeth #5 through #12 (Figure 8). The patient reported root sensitivity, as well as dissatisfaction with clinical tooth length. The involved dentition were treated in 3 separate procedures. This first procedure involved teeth #5 and #6. Vertical releasing incisions were placed mesial to tooth #4 and distal to tooth #7. The vertical releasing incisions extended apical to the mucogingival junction. A full-thickness flap was elevated to the level of the mucogingival junction. Apical to this level, a partial thickness dissection was performed to release tension on the flap and facilitate coronal positioning. There was notching of the roots, with significant loss of dentin in a V-shaped configuration (Figure 9). The root surfaces were smoothed with high-speed diamond rotary and hand instrumentation to achieve decontamination and facilitate flap adaptation. The enamel was recontoured with a finishing bur to create a more clinically acceptable CEJ (Figure 10).
A connective tissue graft was harvested from the right palate in the area of teeth #2 and #3. The graft was placed over the recontoured root surfaces and tacked into position bilaterally utilizing resorbable sutures (Figure 11). Subsequent to stabilization of the connective tissue, the tension free flap was advanced coronally to approximate the de-epithelialized papillae in the interproximal areas. The flap was sutured into position passively utilizing 5-0 silk sutures (Figure 12).
In a similar fashion, teeth #11 and #12 were also treated with connective tissue graft placement under a coronally advanced flap. The maxillary anterior dentition, including teeth #7, #8, #9, and #10, were simply treated with a coronally advanced flap. At 6 months, a photograph of the healed area was taken, demonstrating significant root coverage (Figures 13a and 13b). The patient was satisfied with the improved esthetics and elimination of root sensitivity.
These 2 clinical cases represent contrasting management for the treatment of Class V lesions. Deciding which procedure to use depends upon the location of the CEJ. If the lesion is coronal to the CEJ (Figure 14) and located subgingivaly, the therapist can employ a crown lengthening procedure. By contrast, if the Class V lesion is located apically to the CEJ (Figure 15) and does not extend to the proximal surface of the tooth, gingival augmentation and concomitant clinical attachment can be utilized as a biologic alternative to placement of a composite restoration. The percentage of success for crown shortening, however, is contingent upon the anatomy of the interdental hard and soft tissues.
In between these 2 extremes, a therapist may find an obliterated CEJ due to the extension of caries from a point coronal to the CEJ to a point apical to the CEJ (Figure 16). In this case, the desired occlusal apical length of the clinical crown would be determined by the therapist. Esthetic factors, such as ideal tooth length for a given tooth and the relative location of the adjacent CEJs, should be considered. These parameters facilitate determination of the apical extent of the restorative material and coronal extent of the grafted tissue.
An additional factor to consider when choosing between a crown-shortening procedure or placement of a composite restoration on the root surface is the potential for degradation of resin-dentin bonds over time. Degradation of resin-dentin bond structures occurs after aging in the oral cavity.22 In non-esthetic areas, other materials such as amalgam could be considered if the apical extent of the lesion resides on dentin.

Cold cases can prove to be the most maddening things for investigators to live with. When the police know that just one clue can rip open a case, it’s hard to willingly move past them and on to fresher cases, where the puzzle pieces may be easier to place together. This is especially true with cold cases when the victims are young and vulnerable. Such is one case from New York in 1991: While working on a building a group of construction workers came across a blue cooler. Inside they found the stuff of nightmares – under a handful of soda bottles was a black garbage bag with a dead child inside it. The body was bound with cords and rope. An autopsy determined the girl was about four-years-old, but the remains were so deteriorated that a cause of death and proper identification was thought to be near impossible. The body was clearly malnourished, weighing about twenty-eight pounds. The investigators also felt that signs of sexual abuse were present on the corpse. After lying in the morgue for almost two years, awaiting identification, the child was buried under the name “Baby Hope”.
The case fell cold for a full twenty-two years (minus twice unearthing the girl’s remains to retrieve DNA samples) until a tip was phoned into investigators. This led to the police questioning Conrado Juarez, who admitted under interrogation that he had in fact murdered Anjelica Castillo, a.k.a “Baby Hope”. Juarez, Castillo’s cousin, explained in detail how he tied the young girl to a table and sexually molested her. He then attempted to rape Castillo – causing her to cry out in pain. Juarez grabbed a pillow to muffle her screams and accidentally smothered her to death. He then convinced his sister to help him dispose of the body.
Baby Hope’s mother, Margarita Castillo, was located soon after. She explained to the police that she had not gone to them to report her child missing because she was an illegal immigrant and feared being deported. She also had reason to suspect that her ex-husband had possibly taken the girl back to Mexico. Since Baby Hope’s father has never been located, it is believed that he has no idea the cruel fate his daughter endured.
Home Sweet Home
There are few pleasures in life simpler than coming home each day and basking in a place where you can be completely at ease, free from all the tensions in the world. This is how Catrina McGhaw wanted to be able to spend her spare time in her Ferguson, Missouri home. McGhaw had been living a quiet, relatively content life until one day she got word from a family member that a documentary was airing about a serial killer who had been active in the area.
When McGhaw viewed the film, she was dismayed to see that the killer’s home was in fact the very house she was currently renting. The murderer, Maury Travis, was a suspect in nearly two dozen area murders, but he ended up only being sent to jail for a pair of slayings. Travis ended up committing suicide in his jail cell in 2002.
McGhaw was mortified as she saw her home displayed on the TV screen, with the voice over going into gory details about what the investigators suspected unfolded in each part of her sanctuary. Perhaps the most dismaying moment came when the killer’s kitchen table was shown – McGhaw realized it was the same table her landlord had given her to use while she lived there.
McGhaw furiously called her landlord, at which point it was revealed to McGhaw that the woman she rented from was the mother of a serial killer. The landlord refused to let McGhaw out of her lease, and claimed that McGhaw had been told about how the home was previously the scene of torture and murder.
McGhaw looked into the laws and realized that legally landlords could withhold a home’s dark past from any potential suitors. An appeal to the St. Louis Housing Authority worked and McGhaw was given special permission to break her lease at the end of that month.
McGhaw told reporters that the worst part of the home’s revelations was the fact that the basement had a pole in it that Travis had used to bind his victims to. It was impossible to go downstairs without images being conjured up.
McGhaw also claimed that a toddler who had previously been playing in the basement may have a supernatural encounter. The little tyke became freaked out while staring at the pole and said that she could see somebody next to it. This all went down before anyone in McGhaw’s family ever knew the house was tainted with an evil past.
Rampage in China
Recently in China, a man named Yang Qingpei came up with a rather unique way to cover up a crime. The events all started when Qingpei argued with his parents over needing money. When they refused to comply with his wishes, he murdered them both. Living in close quarters in a remote village, Qingpei knew that he’d be hard pressed to avoid being fingered as the perpetrator, so his solution was to go door to door in his village and kill everyone he saw. By the time the rampage was through, Qingpei ended up murdering an additional seventeen locals.
Survivors were able to skirt away and alert authorities. This meant that within a matter of hours a police force from over one hundred miles away was on scene to arrest Qingpei. Since this occurred in the highly secretive boundaries of China, not many details about the crime have been released. It appears that not even the method of murder has been leaked to the public. It is believed that due to China’s tight controls on guns that the executions were done via another method.
Six families were targeted in the attack, with the youngest victim being just three-years of age and the oldest being seventy-two.

I have just returned from the SPCP (Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals) Fall Conference in Philadelphia. What an inspiring and informative program offered this year. The best-of-the-best from all over the world held seminars and introduced the latest techniques and products.
The highlight for me was taking an all day hands-on workshop with renowned hair stroke eyebrow expert, Karen Betts. Karen is the lead PMU artist in the UK. Her work is just stunning. I can’t wait to put this knowledge to use to enhance my own brow designs. This is a particularly useful method when working with clients experiencing hair loss or thinning of the brows. A more three-dimensional and natural brow can be achieved.
Here is a link to Karens site:
Ever notice how your lips seem to fade over time as you age? Ever thought about getting injections to revive fullness? Have any scarring or asymmetrical lips? Then having permanent makeup applied to your lips might be just the answer for you. Have your lips subtly lined. Or opt for a line with shading or a beautiful full lip blush. Color will be soft and natural and look perfect with a touch of lip balm.
We are excited to announce that Eastern Shore Permanent Makeup is now open. We are located at 34548 Atlantic Avenue in Ocean View, Delaware and offer subtle, natural-looking permanent makeup.

The car crashed into a tree in Tallaght, Dublin, in May 2010.
Given those findings, the judge found 55pc contributory negligence by Ms Price and reduced a €235,000 damages award by 55pc to €100,579.

About Hamza El Din
Born in Nubia in an area that now lies under water thanks to the Aswan Dam, Hamza El Din is perhaps the greatest player of the Arabic stringed instrument called the oud. When El Din heard about the Dam he left his studies in Cairo and returned to Nubia, where he wandered with his oud and learned traditional songs. His first recording, released in 1963, established a new form of Arabic folklore. He continued playing and composing modern versions of traditional Nubian music in Europe and later in America and Japan. El Din, who has performed extensively in Europe, America and Japan, frequently opened for the Grateful Dead, whose fans embraced his regal Arabic voice, gentle elegance, and sheer virtuosity. Most of his music features only oud, vocals, and the taar, a large framed hand drum. He now calls Oakland, Calif., home.

RYAN Giggs scored twice in the second half to give Manchester United victory at Anfield.
Liverpool suffered an early blow when Michael Owen was ruled out before kick off with an ankle injury, and his pace was missed in the first half when Liverpool dominated the game, but lacked the final touch.
It took United over half an hour to even come close when Ruud van Nistelrooy fired just wide from a free kick.
The Reds striker was then booked when he appeared to deliberately handle the ball.
Harry Kewell came close with two long range efforts for Liverpool but Tim Howard proved equal to the task.
After the break Jerzy Dudek almost repeated last season's gaff when he sent a clearance straight to Giggs, but he managed to tidy up after himself.
But just minutes later Giggs hit the target with a curling effort and with 20 minutes remaining, Giggs added to the Polish keeper's misery with a long range shot which somehow sneaked under Dudek's body.
Kewell handed Liverpool a lifeline when he tucked the ball away from a cross and Emile Heskey could have levelled the scores but he fired wide after good work from Danny Murphy.

I grew up on the Lower East Side and if you went to the Academy of Music to see a movie, you were really “moving on up”. My mom took me to see “The King & I” w/Yul Brynner (it was just on TCM). We never went to Luchow’s, as she shied away from German food, but the Automat was right down the block at 14th & Union Square, near Klein’s.
I went to the Palestine/Winston when I grew up on the Lower East Side. They played a lot of sci-fi movies, such as ‘War of the World" w/Gene Barry & “When Worlds Collide” by George Pal. On the corner of Houston & Clinton, there was a lunchonette, where we got lime rickeys and pretzels.

The Carter administration has quietly promised civil rights groups to seek passage of a major civil rights bill in this Congress.
The legislation would greatly enhance the government's enforcement powers under the basic federal Fair Housing Act, which Congress passed in 1968.
That act strictly forbids racial discrimination in the sale or rental of most housing -- but it also limits the help the government can give to victims of such discrimination. The result is that the act has been mainly a declaration of good intentions that have gone largely unenforced.
The forthcoming bill, which seeks to change that, has drawn opposition from some segments of the mortgage and insurance industries and the nation's real estate industry. They opposed a version on which a House Judiciary subcommittee held hearings last year.
Under the 1968 law, a person who thinks he or she has suffered discrimination can either go to court on his own, a process that tends to be both slow and costly, or turn for help to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. But all HUD can do for him, if it decides he is in the right, is try to mediate in his behalf. It cannot order anyone to do anything.
Under the bill, whose House sponsors last year were Reps. Don Edwards (D-Calif.), chairman of the Judiciary subcommittee on civil and constitutional rights, and Robert F. Drinan (D-Mass.), HUD's power would be expanded so that it could adjudicate cases brought to it, and the secretary could order remedies where discrimination was found. These orders could only be issued after trial-like hearings, and could be appealed to the courts.
But in effect the bill would be creating within the executive branch a special minicourt system to hear housing discrimination cases, just as the National Labor Relations Board hears charges of labor law violations.
Civil rights groups have tried several times in the last 15 years to win similar adjudicative power for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in the field of job discrimination. These attempts all failed. The two most important helped provoke the great Senate civil rights filibusters of 1964 and 1972.
Before the 1972 legislation, EEOC had only the power to conciliate complaints that HUD now has. That legislation gave EEOC, as a compromise, the added power not to decide cases, but to carry them into the courts on its own. The agency thus can now represent complainants.
Congressional and administration aides say the housing bill would empower the secretary to hear cases involving exclusionary practices of local government as well as actions by private parties.
The courts have held that the 1968 law applies to governmental as well as commercial activity. The new bill would give the secretary further power to help enforce that 1968 law, its drafters say.
HUD already has the power to cut off the federal community development funds of local governments that refuse to make satisfactory provision for low-income housing within their borders. That power has also been pretty much unused, however.
HUD's fair housing enforcement program has been a disappointment to Secretary Patricia Roberts Harris. She recently reorganized it, and former D.C. City Council chairman and unsuccessful mayoral candidate Sterling Tucker has taken over as here new assistant secretary in charge of fair housing.
The Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, a confederation of most of the major civil rights organizations in the country, decided last November to put a new fair housing bill at the top of its legislative wish list in this Congress.
The chairman of the leadership conference, Clarence Mitchell, sent a letter to James McIntyre, director of the Office of Management and Budget, and Stuart Eizenstat, presidential assistant for domestic affairs, asking that the president "give this legislation priority on his calendar and urge its adoption in his State of the Union message."
Harris and Drew Days, assistant attorney general for civil rights, had already testified in support of the Edwards-Drinan bill at the hearings held by Edwards' subcommittee last spring.
But "We are sure you understand that a far more active effort by the Carter administration is needed if the bill is to be enacted into law," Mitchell wrote.
Carter's response came in the lengthy written State of the Union message he sent Congress as a supplement to the one he delivered in person. Halfway through its 50 pages were these paragraphs:
"We need to correct a weakness in an existing civil rights law. Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, which prohibits discrimination in housing, remains largely an empty promise because of the lack of an adequate enforcement mechanism.
"I will soon propose to the Congress that this problem be alleviated by providing the Department of Housing and Urban Development with cease-and-desist powers. That department, which now investigates and makes findings upon individual complaints, would then be able to enjoin further discriminatory acts and to direct and appropriate remedy. My administration will work with the Congress to see that this proposal is given prompt and favorable consideration."

The problem of maximizing refractory service life:
Modern high temperature processing industries demand high performance and predictable service from their refractory linings and components.
While developments in monolithic refractory technology over the past 20 years have led to today’s generation of low cement, ultra-low cement and self-flow castables which are resistant to high temperatures, they continue to be weak in tension and offer minimal resistance to damage from sudden changes in stress.
Thermal cycling, thermal shock, mechanical impact or vibration can all cause cracking, which in turn can lead to premature failure and substantial cost penalties. Achieving maximum refractory service life at a minimum cost is therefore a key element in the efficient operation of these processes, and in enabling companies to maximize their competitive edge.
Proven Ribtec Solution:
For nearly five decades Ribtec has provided the industry with a solution to premature refractory failure. This remarkable solution has been achieved by the addition of Ribtec’s RS stainless steel fiber to the refractory mix.
The addition of the company’s unique Rapidly Solidified (RS) steel fibers to castable, gunning and moldable refractories inhibits crack formation and transforms the conventional refractory material from a brittle material to a tough and tenacious composite exhibiting dramatic improvements in service life. When coupled with Ribtec’s unrivalled technical know-how and its knowledge of worldwide industrial applications, we are able to pass these benefits on to all companies seeking to reduce manufacturing and operating costs.

Dermot on Scherzinger
Dermot O'Leary hasn’t got many good things to say about guest X Factor Judge Nicole Scherzinger!
The X Factor is back and we’ve been chatting to host Dermot about this year's series and what will make it bigger and better than the last?!
It sounds like things have been very different without Cheryl and Dannii:
Dermot on Nicole
So what else has been going on behind the scenes during the audition rounds!
Dermot confirmed that the usual over-25s category has been bumped up to over-28s after stand-in judge Nicole Scherzinger persuaded Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh to shake up the format.
Dermot on the format
We all knew that Dannii Minogue wouldn’t be there for the audition rounds as she was off having a baby – but then Cheryl got sick with Malaria and they were two judges down!
Dermot says they were sorely missed!!!
