The Oakwood Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
Oakwood NICU is a critical care area that provides support to infants in need of very specialized services during a crucial time in their young lives. After birth, your baby must make many physical adjustments to life outside of the womb in order to make this transition successfully. It is not uncommon when issues arise (prematurity, infections, difficulty during labor / delivery, etc.) that interfere with this process. It is for these infants that the Oakwood NICU was created. The NICU experience can be both frightening and overwhelming – machines, procedures, and yes, doctors not of your choosing. You will be encouraged to ask questions of the staff, and to interact with your infant. The staff of the Oakwood Hospital - Dearborn is here to support you and your infant.
The unit is divided into 5 pods with babies staying potentially in any, or all of the pods during their stay based upon their particular needs. The design incorporates 4 isolation suites to minimize risk of spread of contagious infections, or for infants that are less tolerant of noise and/or light. The NICU admits about 500 critically ill infants annually. Approximately 10 percent of these newborns are transported from community hospitals located in southeastern Michigan. Our NICU is a participant in the Vermont Oxford Network (VON) and the Michigan VON Collaborative. These benchmarking databases allow our NICU to compare our babies with NICUs throughout the United States so that we can in turn improve our clinical outcomes.
Led by board certified neonatologists, our dedicated multidisciplinary team is comprised of neonatal nurse practitioners (NNP), neonatal nurses, respiratory therapists, lactation specialists, and medical social workers. Working with this team are consultants from various pediatric subspecialties: surgery, cardiology, neurology, and ophthalmology. The neonatologists, neonatal nurse practitioners, and registered nurses will provide all of the direct care for your baby and are in the NICU and available to you and your baby at all times. Our team works closely with families to ensure the best possible care will be provided to their infant. It is our team's desire that each child thrive under our care and beyond.
Other things you need to know…
A family waiting room is available for your use – a place to get away to, a family meeting place, etc.
A "rooming-in" room is available for your use – prior to discharge families may by choice or at the physician's request room-in with their infant prior discharge to gain additional confidence in their own abilities.
The NICU provides parking passes to families.
Visitors may be asked to step out of the NICU during the time the medical team rounds on the babies or when a procedure is being done on your infant or an infant near your baby.
Just as we take maintaining your privacy very seriously, we request that visitors limit their visit to their own baby – please don't wander through the NICU nor ask staff about other infants.
Infants are often moved to different areas within the NICU – accommodating multiples (twins, triplets), changes in a baby's condition or level of care, isolation needs, etc. Please don't be alarmed – we make every effort possible to keep families informed of a change in an infant's condition.
Infant pictures will be taken prior to discharge if you desire by an outside professional infant photography company.
Infants have various "screenings" done prior to discharge from the NICU (some of which are based upon the infant's gestational age, weight, and / or condition): hearing, car seat / car bed infant check, retinal evaluation by pediatric ophthalmologists, and state newborn metabolic screening.
Immunizations are offered as indicated by your infant's age.
Infant CPR training is available to parents by appointment.
Determine who your infant's pediatrician or family practice physician is going to be before discharge
Discharge criteria includes (with rare exception):
Maintaining normal temperature in an open crib
Breastfeeding or nippling all feeds without difficulty and gaining weight consistently
Breathing room air without any breathing difficulty
Infant must be at least 34 weeks post-menstrual age
Parking passes or tokens are available to parents when they visit the NICU. Please ask either the NICU secretary or your nurse for a pass.
NICU - Level IIIB
Oakwood Hospital - Dearborn
3rd Floor - Skillman
We encourage you to come and be with your baby, and just as important, provide care for him or her.
At the time of the baby's birth, two identification bracelets are given to each mother. One of the bracelets is to be worn by the mom and the other by a person of her choosing (i.e., dad, support person, etc.). In general, NICU visitation is 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is important that when visiting you are healthy and have not had any recent exposures to contagious diseases (i.e., chicken pox, flu). In the interest of your baby's welfare, we ask that everyone wash their hands and arms up to the elbows before touching the baby.
We close the NICU to family and visitors between 8:00 and 9:00AM daily for rounds and during multidisciplinary rounds on Tuesdays between 11:00AM and 12:00PM. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We want to be mindful of your right to privacy as a matter of respect and the law (HIPAA).
NOTE: If community infections such as an H1N1 influenza outbreak, we may limit visitation to the baby's bracelet carriers to prevent the spread of disease. Sibling visitation may likewise be suspended. Infants, especially premature infants, are at great risk of contracting influenza. During these times we thank you for your cooperation as we promote the safest environment possible for our most vulnerable patients.
Sibling Visitation
Brothers and sisters of our infants may visit under the following conditions:
Children must be 3 years of age or older.
Visitation is limited to Saturday and Sunday between 12:00PM and 3:00PM, and 5:00PM to 7:00PM.
Visits are limited to 15 minutes and a parent must be with each child
Everyone (parent and child) must scrub their hands and arms for 3 minutes.
Please make arrangements with the NICU staff prior to the visit to verify that circumstances are right for a visit.
Immunization card must be brought in for each visiting child (proof of Pertussis (whooping cough) and Varicella (chicken pox) vaccination).
Please DO NOT bring children in to visit if they have been exposed to infections or have symptoms of a cold or the flu.
Visitation may be suspended if there is a community outbreak of disease (i.e., H1N1 flu), or if activity in the NICU does not permit it.

In resurrecting the imagery and atmosphere of a period, costume houses are an invaluable resource for motion picture costume designers and indeed the entire creative team. Great Britain's Cosprop, founded by costume designer John Bright in 1965, provides, as do other local and international costume houses, historic and modern stock, research facilities and an expert staff of tailors, seamstresses, milliners, jewelry makers and other specialists who can turn designers' drawings into real garments that fit and move on film as envisioned. Once completed, these costumes do more than help create a believable world – they help actors find their characters and bring them to life.
"Period Costumes for the Screen" focuses on costumes made for films and miniseries set between the early 1500s and the 1950s. Some of the productions are based upon actual historic figures and events, others upon works of fiction. On display in the Academy's Fourth Floor Gallery are 36 costumes worn by such stars as Meryl Streep, Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Nicole Kidman, Ralph Fiennes and Cate Blanchett.
The exhibition showcases the collaborations between Cosprop and such Academy Award®-winning designers as James Acheson, Jenny Beavan, John Bright, Milena Canonero, Anthony Powell and Deborah L. Scott, as well as Oscar® nominees Alexandra Byrne, Judy Moorcroft, Ruth Myers, Janet Patterson, Tom Rand and Tony Walton. It was organized by the Trust for Museum Exhibitions, Washington, D.C., in cooperation with Cosprop, Ltd., London, England.

According to the pound people, I am a German wire-haired pointer. I have to take them at their word because I don't remember my parents, or whether they were named Klaus and Gretyl or had wiry hair.
I do "point" when I see a bird I find particulary appetizing – I mean, interesting – and I have hair, but it's more soft and curly than wiry. Granted, I look a lot like the pictures you find online of other GWPs. And I do like Frankfurters.
But there's one aspect of my personality that throws this GWP-lineage into question in my mind.
I'm terrified of water. And you can't be a water-fowl hunting dog and be afraid of water.
If it's a body of H2O bigger than my water bowl, I want nothing to do with it. Doesn't matter if it's fresh water or salt, still or gurgling. I don't even like rain.
Just ask my people, who've tried to get me to fetch sticks in the waves at the beach. Not happening. Or my Lab friend, Maggie, who loves diving and swimming in her folks' backyard pool. I'll stick to the patio, thank you.
And today, I found proof online that I'm the smartest of the bunch for sticking to my aversion.
Apparently, there is a truly massive great white shark patrolling the waters off the East Coast. I imagine she's hungry. Her name is Mary Lee, and she spent a good part of the winter as far south as Florida, but now she's back in the waters off the Hamptons. That means Connecticut is on her menu for the weekend.
Check her out. She weighs almost two tons!
So, if you're as remotely smart as I am, you'll take your water bottled and stick to terra firma.

Small diesel trucks are doing great in this globalization. But did you know the diesel trucks were not so popular back in early 20s? Yes, that is absolutely true, everybody was using big trucks for their commercial purposes and due to lack of work almost all companies became bankrupt especially those who were running businesses in debts. So like this the trend of diesel trucks by small industry disappeared. But that trend was dying to reincarnate, to come back with a bang. Now we are seeing diesel trucks everywhere. Why? Because now we don't have to purchase big diesel trucks, because we have the option to purchase a small diesel truck , because we have the option to purchase used trucks, because we have lots of options to do our small business without wasting huge amount on big trucks.

According to the latest statistics, over 300 million kids are enrolled in schools all across India. Of these, over 50 million are in the secondary and senior classes. Against this, only 2 million seats are available in various colleges and universities. The number of seats for professional courses like medicine and engineering is even lower at 7 lakhs. Thus, there is a huge demand for suitable teaching aids, which allow students a better chance to enter these courses.

Say you're a researcher. You've spent months collecting and analyzing data, crunching numbers and composing tables, but it's all been for naught. That hypothesis you set out to test (say, that a link exists between a specific food and a known indicator of cancer risk) didn't pan out. In your investigation at least, you found no such link.
You have achieved what in scientific circles is called a "null finding." And, in a very real sense, that's not nothing.
Null findings don't make headlines, and often don't even get published. (The tendency of journal editors to publish results that seem "new" over those that find no association — or that simply accord with previously published results — is a source of publication bias, which over time can distort the general scientific opinion on a given subject.)
But there is an important difference between a null finding capable of closing the book on a given question — that says, essentially "There's no there there, move along." — and a null finding that says simply "We need more and better data before we can make a judgment."
On those rare occasions when the media do pick up on a null finding, there is a tendency to mistake one kind for another. Let's take a look at a recent null finding and see what it really has to say. Continue reading

DTaP vaccine is a "3-in-1" vaccine that protects against diphtheria
, tetanus
(lockjaw), and pertussis
(whooping cough). These diseases are serious and can be life-threatening.
Diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis are each caused by a bacteria.
DTaP vaccine is made from dead (inactivated) bacteria that cause the three diseases. The vaccine will not make a child sick from the three diseases it is protecting against.
After getting the vaccine, the body learns to attack any of the three bacteria if the child is exposed to them. As a result, the child is unlikely to get sick with any of the three diseases.
DTaP is one of the recommended childhood immunizations. Many states require proof that a child has received the vaccine before starting day care or preschool.
Children should get 5 doses (shots) of the vaccine. One dose should be received at each of the following ages:
DTaP can be received as a shot by itself. Or it can be received as a shot that combines it with other vaccines:
The health care provider can tell you which vaccine is right for your child.
DTaP is not given to children 7 years or older. Two vaccines are available for children 7 years through adulthood. These vaccines are Tdap and Td
. Because immunity to diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis wears off, Tdap and Td are used as booster vaccines. The health care provider can tell you more about these vaccines.
There is no proof that DTaP vaccine is linked to the development of autism.
No vaccine works all of the time. It is still possible, though unlikely, to get any of the three infections even after receiving all doses (shots) of DTaP.

Over 200 literary terms, Shmooped to perfection.
This is just a fancy term for words that mean more than meets the eye. Figurative language uses figures of speech like similes and metaphors to build meaning beyond the literal. Think of figurative language as words that have more than one level of meaning.
We often use figurative language in our everyday speech without even realizing it. When we say "it's raining cats and dogs," we don't literally mean that felines and canines are falling from the sky. It's a metaphor for a major downpour. Here are a few other examples:
Get the picture? Hey, that's one, too.
Check out figurative language in John Keats's poem "When I have fears that I may cease to be," Ernest Hemingway's short story "Hills Like White Elephants," and Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower."

Jacks cut into Rapids lead for final playoff spot
The Rapids continue to leave men on base, leaving nine men on including six in scoring position in a 6-3 loss to Covington Tuesday evening.
The Rapids took an early lead off of a solo home run by shortstop Brody Greer in the first inning but were unable to keep the Jacks off of the scoreboard.
Rapids' starter Jeremy Jansen had to work his way out of trouble all evening. He allowed the first batter to reach base in five of the seven innings that he started. Jansen allowed four runs in 6.1 innings on the mound, forcing the Jacks to leave six of their own on base when working out of jams.
Once again it looked like the Rapids were starting to put things together at the plate late in the game. In the seventh they had men on second and third after scoring a run and there was only one out. Jacks' relief pitcher Calvin Rayburn came in to pitch and got out of the jam, forcing Greer to groundout to third and striking out All-Star designated hitter Cody Dolan.
The Rapids were able to score another run in the eighth. In the bottom of the ninth the Rapids had men on first and second with two outs and Dolan coming up to the plate. Jacks' closer Nolan Houmes got Dolan to fly out to center field, earning his first save of the season.
The Rapids are now 18-18 on the season and are still holding onto the final playoff spot of the South Division.
The Staunton Braves (17-21) snapped their six-game losing streak last night, gaining a game on the Rapids.
Tonight the Rapids travel to Waynesboro to face the first place Generals at 7 pm. The Rapids also host a double-header against the Generals tomorrow, starting at 6 pm.

I feel kinda bad for Stuart with all the family stuff and not being able to fly the entire family out to see him. Yet another glaring example of why you should NEVER get romantically involved with someone who already has kids by someone else. Its almost guaranteed to be drama. (I know, been there, done that)

the MLive article seemed to show Jason Garrison available too from Florida. If Tallon doesn't throw the bank at him, I'd like to see Detroit take a run at him. Easily the #1 defenceman on the Panthers last year. He's big, scored a lot of goals last year.
Agreed. My dream off season would be Sutter, Garrison, Moen and Parise. But yea, we'll see..

BTW - HELL NO TO QUINCEY! Holland, THINK! A 1st and a 3rd! Sh!t, if Stuart was only worth a conditional, you could essentially be "trading" Stuart/Quincey for a 1st, 3rd, Condition, Murray. Letting Quincey go RFA would more than make up for getting squat for Stuart's rights.
Posted 11 June 2012 - 07:19 AM
Wow, not exactly what I thought Stuart would garner in return...but whatever. We knew he was going no matter what, whether it was on July 1st or not, we basically got nothing in return except some trade fodder. Really though, Holland gave up a 2nd & 4th for him, now he is only worth a conditional? Crazy...

He's only worth a conditional because of the situation. I assume he would be worth around the same as before if he wasn't planning on leaving regardless.
Posted 11 June 2012 - 07:45 AM
i took a look at his profile too. i was pleasantly surprised that he was over 6 feet and that he hits. he'd be a great grinder for the 4th line by the looks of it and he's now in the Wings organization, so they may as well work with him and see what he can do.
Murray is listed at 6'2 215lbs....maybe he is the "big bottom six center" we are going to aquire...

Posted 11 June 2012 - 07:47 AM
Because Stuart was leaving Detroit to play in California regardless. A little something is better then nothing at all. You don't usually get much for trading rights especially when the team he was traded to essentially knows they have a 1/3 or 0.33% chance to sign him. (3 teams in California where he said he wanted to be).
1/3 =/= 0.33%
Sorry, couldn't resist. To me that is like using the wrong "your" or "their."

He's only worth a conditional because of the situation. I assume he would be worth around the same as before if he wasn't planning on leaving regardless.
I would also like to add that the rights to a player weeks before they become a free agent (and after the season has ended) typically aren't worth much. Additionally, the whole world knows Stuart wants to play in California, which makes it idfficult to get a good return on him. Why should San Jose give us more, when they know we likely aren't going to get anything from 26 other teams?

Maybe they won't be able to work out a deal in Cali.. Haha call it wishful thinking?

I am thinking also, Holland probably asked Brad, which team to you want to go to and he picked SJ. So, that is what we got. We all knew Brad was leaving so that is not a shock. Lets hope Holland makes some magic on Draft/UFA day, that is what we are all looking forward to...we all know who "we'd" like to see be Red Wings...Let's hope Holland is able to add the 4-5 players he says he'd like to add!

might I add, re-signing Hudler & Holmstrom will seriously impact our chances of "getting better" this off season...There is simply just no room, unless he trades some folks...(coughFranzencough)

Stuart going public with his desire to be in California did not hurt us whatsoever. Trading rights for picks almost always involves the pick being conditional...if the player signs with the other team you get the draft pick, or the pick becomes a higher draft pick. If he doesn't sign you either don't get the draft pick you traded for or it becomes a lower pick.
So essentially if we had say traded Stuart's rights to Toronto for a fourth round conditional....he wouldn't have signed there (wants to be in Cali) and we would have either lost the fourth rounder and got nothing, or the fourth would have become something like a 7th anyway....Holland just skipped all that BS, got his 7th, and did Stewie a solid in the process.
Perhaps if SJ didn't know they were Stewies #1 choice we could have gotten more out of them....but they knew regardless of whether Stewie went public or not....He has friends in their organization/team and his family still lives in the area....they knew the situation.
you aren't understanding the point he was trying to make. what he is saying is that it was hard to get any value for his rights because everyone knew he had a short list of teams. the reason teams will give more for negotiating rights is they know they are competing against many other teams and getting that exclusive window is important. but since the sharks knew they had a high probability of signing him regardless, they had little motivation to give up anything of value just for the chance to sign him now instead of july first.
the most likely scenario was that they got word that anaheim wanted to offer him a contract so they gave up an asset to make sure anaheim never got the chance...
I love Maltby, but to say he wasn't a ****** is a dis-service to his career of douchebaggery.

Posted 11 June 2012 - 10:07 AM
He'll be missed, especially for his seemingly endless amount of goal-line plays that saved a goal. However, he is 32 (if my source is correct) and the Wings could be helped by getting younger and bigger. Glad to see him be able to continue to play for a contending team and be close to his family.
It's kind of funny how Stuart is deemed too old however to me having a 38 year old Bertuzzi for 2 more seasons is what sets us back the most. Nick is gone. So too likely is Homer. Stuart is gone. Likely the same with Hudler who is in his prime. Thank God for the Todd though.

1. Cap went up!
2. Lids hung them up! (ya this was a bit to swallow, but geesh, folks on here (including me) were saying not too long ago that LIds either needs to take $2.0M or retire. So there ya go, he retired)
3. Stuart left.
...now we will see if the plan keeps going or if it has to change drastically. Bottom line, if Holland does indeed throw the wallet at Suter/Parise and he doesn't get them, its because they didn't want to be here and I think that is the ONLY way they aren't in Wings jersey's next season. I son't think their current clubs can out bid Detroit...Jersey for it's financial woes and Nashville because of Rinne's dumb ass contract and Weber needing to be signed...Speaking of Nashville, would anyone want Tootoo here for that 4th line hitter/grinder? Just curious...

When a white teenager named Steve Lohner was stopped by the police last month and refused to show his ID after carrying a loaded shotgun on the streets of Aurora, Colorado (the same city where a mass murderer killed 12 people and injured 70 others in a packed movie theater in July 2012), the teen walked away with nothing but a citation.
But when a 22-year-old black kid named John Crawford picked up a mere BB gun in a Walmart store in Dayton, Ohio last week, customers called the police, who then shot and killed him.
Here lies a racial disparity that's difficult for honest people to ignore. How can black people openly carry a real gun when we can't even pick up a BB gun in a store without arousing suspicion? The answer in America is that the Second Amendment doesn't really apply to black people.By
Keith Boykin, "Does the Second Amendment Only Apply to White People?" (via holygoddamnshitballs)
True, anyone who's been paying attention knows this. The only time you can get gun control passed in this country is when politicians start seeing POC walking around freely with guns.

The Tennessee Department of Health is investigating three potential cases of a mosquito-borne disease named chikungunya.
The fever's name itself paints a vivid picture.
"It comes from the Makonde language in Africa meaning to bend over in pain," said Dr. Abelardo Moncayo, the state medical entomologist.
Mosquitoes transmit the disease, which Moncayo describes as extremely painful.
"We don't know what's going to happen with this virus in the United States, and because of that uncertainty, we're certainly concerned about it," Moncayo said.
The symptoms include fever, vomiting, nausea, rashes, muscle pain and above all, joint pain. Medical professionals like Moncayo said joints can ache so badly, patients may have shaking hands or difficulty walking.
Back in December, chikungunya spread to the Western Hemisphere from Africa, according to Moncayo. It infected more than 100,000 people. But he said the three potential local cases popped up in Tennessee last week.
The entomologist said the three patients share something in common: They traveled to Haiti for a mission trip, then flew back to Tennessee. The individuals returned to the eastern, middle, and western regions of the state.
It will take weeks for laboratories to process blood samples from the three patients. Meanwhile, scientists fear local mosquitoes - ones native to the Southeast - could pick up the disease, then spread it further among the human population.
"We're very concerned about people that symptoms," Moncayo said. "Because they have the virus in their blood that can infect our local mosquitoes."
That's why the doctor pushes prevention. So if you're outside at any time of day, remember to spray bug repellent. The local mosquitoes in question, the Asian Tiger Mosquitoes, bite during daylight instead of just dawn and dusk.
Other recommendations include wearing long, light and loose clothing; closing windows and doors; and eliminating standing pools of water.
Fortunately, Moncayo said the chikungunya virus results in a low mortality rate: very few people die, but the symptoms can't be treated.
If you show symptoms possibly linked to chikungunya, please contact your doctor immediately.

Deeply and resolutely imagined, Ghost Light casts its heroine as a charming and robust, playful and wayward young girl, committed to the well-being of the rather difficult and gloomy JM Synge. Molly Allgood, in this version, has a good deal of Molly Bloom in her make-up, and a lively intelligence to boot. . . . In this incarnation, [she] is a figure of great gaiety and aplomb; and O'Connor's novel carries all the pungency and resonance of a particular era of the past." —Patricoa Craig, The Independent
"An entertaining read that carries a touching tale." —The Economist
"Masterful . . . With his previous novels, Star of the Sea and Redemption Falls, O'Connor carved out a unique way of playing his storyteller's hand over a wide landscape, with the use of invented documentation and textual adventure. Ghost Light brings that achievement to a new dimension, more specifically located and yet all the more masterful in its management of re-imagined lives and the time they inhabit. . . . The writing is lyrical and moving.' —Hugo Hamilton, The Financial Times
"With his usual deftness and intelligence, O'Connor brings to life the intense love affair between young actress Molly Allgood and the great Irish playwright JM Synge . . . Brilliant." —The Daily Mirror
"Joseph O'Connor's seventh novel, Ghost Light, will give days of pleasure to tens and tens of thousands of readers. It is a great love story, with extras: a virtuoso display of literary talent, a tribute to the Hiberno-English heritage of lore and lyricism and an interpretation of the Irish literary revival as the fruit of settler and native, Protestant and Catholic. . . . One of the novel's great achievements is not just to display imaginative power but also to show how the imagination works. . . . A stroke of genius." —Adrian Frazier, Irish Times
"Engrossing stuff . . . Beautifully written and charming." —The Independent on Sunday
"What shines in the end is O'Connor's precise style bolstered by quick flashes of his wicked humour. Ghost Light is a careful, thoughtful story, the worlds of which are impeccably rendered." —Irish Examiner
"Ghost Light is a sad and stirring story of love and loss, and O'Connor skillfully brings to life a brief affair that burned brightly and for Molly, was never extinguished." —Claire O'Mahony, Irish Sunday Tribune
"A tender, haunting tale . . . An original and moving love story." —Marie Claire
"O'Connor has fashioned a deeply moving, beautifully written story. . . . Admirers of his writing will take pleasure not only in the ambitious range of Ghost Light and its depth of feeling but also in the nods in the direction of the author's immediately preceding novels, Redemption Falls, and, before that, Star of the Sea. . . . Ghost Light stands up to scrutiny on its own terms. It is a profoundly sad story, but triumphant." —Scotland Herald
"The author displays typical imaginative virtuosity and emotional depth. . . . As well as being impressively well crafted, the novel is wreathed in language of Joycean richness. [O'Connor's] prose is tuned to a singular lyrical frequency." —The Sunday Times
"Superbly written, magically evocative novel." —The Scotsman
"Ghost Light is a spirited novel. . . . Like her namesake Molly Bloom, Allgood is an earthy, wily and sexually magnetic creation but O'Connor's real feat is in his careful deployment of Hiberno-English by which he not only doffs his cap to Synge but gives flesh and blood to Molly's neglected life story." —The Metro
"Ghost Light will give days of pleasure to tens and tens of thousands of readers. It is a great love story, with extras: a virtuoso display of literary talent, a tribute to the Hiberno-English heritage of lore and lyricism and an interpretation of the Irish literary revival as the fruit of settler and native, Protestant and Catholic. . . . Brimming with sympathy and skill." —Irish Times
"Joseph O'Connor occupies a special place in Irish life. The novel is artfully constructed. . . . O'Connor's evocation of such a difficult, morbid and yet morally beautiful man through the memory of an earthy and vivacious woman is remarkably ambitious and imaginative. Ghost Light is full of . . . sly pleasures and there is a great deal of broad comedy." —The Irish Independent
"Lyrical and moving." —The Sunday Tribune

To create the 2010 Climber Sauvignon Blanc, Clif Family Winery winemakers began with Sauvignon Blanc sourced from organic and sustainably farmed vineyards located in Mendocino County and central coast appellations. Riesling and Muscat were
blended to enhance the lush aromatics and fruit forward nature of this refreshing wine. A small amount of Viognier was added to create texture and roundness to the finish. Fermenting in stainless steel ensures crisp and bright fruit characters
in the finished wine.
Blend: 80% Sauvignon Blanc, 12% Riesling, 7% Viognier, and 1% Muscat Blanc
"Vivid, bright and mouthwatering, with plenty of pop to the lemon-lime and tangy peach flavors on a light body. Fresh herb and grapefruit notes come in on the finish."

Passage of Proposition 38 "would be a great thing'' for schools in the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District, the president of the Santa Monica-Malibu PTA Council said.
Supporters say the income tax increase on the November ballot would bring more than $10 million to district schools in the 2013-2014 school year and more than $24 million in the 2023-24 school year.
"Proposition 38 is a visionary and transformative solution,'' Patti Braun said at a rally at Clover Park. "We want a brand new funding stream that will guarantee every school will get what it needs and prohibit Sacramento from touching the money.''
Proposition 38 would increase personal income tax rates for 12 years for annual earnings over $7,316 using a sliding scale from 0.4 percent for the lowest individual earners to 2.2 percent for individuals earning more than $2.5 million.
During the first four years, 60 percent of revenues would go to schools from kindergarten through 12th grade, 30 percent to repaying state debt and 10 percent to early childhood programs. Thereafter, 85 percent of revenues would go to schools from kindergarten through 12th grade and 15 percent to early childhood programs.
The increase would be roughly $5 billion in the 2012-13 fiscal year, $10 billion in the 2013-2014 fiscal year and tending to increase over time, according to an estimate from the Legislative Analyst's Office and Director of Finance Ana J. Matosantos.
Opponents of Proposition 38 call it a "flawed, costly and misleading initiative'' that would hurt small businesses, as many small business owners pay personal income taxes rather than corporate taxes. The rival measure backed by Gov. Jerry Brown, Proposition 30, would increase the sales tax by a quarter-cent on the dollar for four years and raise the income tax on annual earnings over $250,000 for seven years.
The increased revenues would result in an increase to the minimum guarantee for schools and community colleges under terms of Proposition 98, approved by voters in 1988. Revenue generated by Proposition 30 would be deposited into a newly created state account, the Education Protection Account.
Of the funds in the account, 89 percent would be devoted to schools from kindergarten through 12th grade and the other 11 percent to community colleges. Each school district would receive at least $200 per student in funds from the account and each community college district at least $100 per full-time student.
The measure also would guarantee funding for public safety services realigned from state to local governments. Proposition 30 would generate an additional $6 billion in state tax revenues from the 2012-2013 through 2016-17 fiscal years, according to an estimate from the state's Legislative Analyst's Office and Matosantos. Smaller amounts would be generated in the 2017-18 and 2018-19 fiscal years. Brown has called Proposition 30 "modest, fair and temporary.''
Opponents of Proposition 30 say its passage would hurt small business and job creation, and the Legislature should first enact meaningful changes to the public employee pension systems and cut wasteful spending before raising taxes.
If both measures are approved by voters, the one getting the most yes votes will prevail.

A new mission for the network block device
You don't need Samba or NFS to support a diskless client. A remote block device can help improve performance and efficiency. We'll show your how.
Experts are well aware that the traditional PC networking model wastes valuable disk space with redundant data storage. Desktop computers typically have one or more local hard disks, although the operating system and the applications that run on the desktop may be identical throughout the organization. An alternative to this traditional approach is to use centralized data management with diskless clients. The diskless client option assumes fast and reliable network connections and powerful servers.

Federal government vs state's rights on marijuana legalization
In the November election, two states have legalized the recreational use of marijuana. Washington and Colorado are the first two states to have passed legislation of this type. While several states have legalized marijuana for medical uses, none have legalized it for recreational use. Under the federal Controlled Substances Act, anyone is prohibited from growing, selling, or possessing marijuana. The Drug Enforcement Administration, the Department of Justice, and President Obama are all making sure that Washington and Colorado know that this law is still in place. The DEA still conducts raids on medical marijuana dispensaries in states where medical marijuana is legal.
Opponents of President Obama have put him into a hard position. Libertarians and Republicans both agree on limiting the reach of the federal government. If Obama uses federal law to crack down on the states that have legalized marijuana, the Libertarians and Republicans will use this to point out the unnecessary overreach of the federal government. On the other hand, if Obama upholds the state's rights, then other opponents will use that to suggest he is "ignoring his constitutional duties to enforce the law."

- A pleasant surprise!deadwoodbarbieVIPDined on 9/23/2014Our flight arrived from Houston 5-ish, and then we were driving on to Asheville, NC. We had decided to have dinner in Spartanburg; upon reading the good and consistent reviews, settled on II Samuels. Let's just say the exterior will fool you ... don't let it ... go on in; the food and service were excellent! We shared fried green tomatoes and a poached pear salad ... both had the salmon for entrees. Everything was wonderful ... also appreciated the option of a smaller portion for the entree. The only negative was the salmon was obviously Atlantic (farm-raised) but it seems to be difficult for restaurants to get wild salmon (?). I never understand that as I order wild salmon on the internet!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great anniversary eveningjrizzaVIPDined on 9/16/2014Wife and I went ate here for our second anniversary. Our waitress brought out two complimentary glasses of champagne. The food was exceptional. I ordered the stuffed trout and my wife had the lamb and we shared. Very nice ambiance. Great place for a date or if you'd like a really nice meal in a lovely setting.Special Features:
- Spartanburg GemBillDined on 9/13/2014Our recent visit confirmed that II Samuels not only has the best food in Spartanburg, it can also effectively compete with the best restaurants in Greenville. Usually they earn a five star rating. Unfortunately and unexpectedly, the service provider fell well short of five star service. I consider this an aberration and it will not deter my wife and me from a repeat visit.Special Features:
- 10starsDined on 9/13/2014I have never had anything less than a great experience at II Samuels, and I eat there frequently both for lunch and dinner. The food is delicious, the service exemplary, the silver and glassware is spotless. And further, one is never rushed to finish so that the table can be recycled!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FoodtigerstaticDined on 8/30/2014Food was fancier than really good. Seems that a number of Chefs think presentation is more important than food quality.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent dining experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/30/2014We have been to II Samuels several times - this Saturday's dining experience was outstanding as usual. We love the side salad with hearts of palm, and the pesto crusted salmon with roasted vegetables and carrot soufflé was superb. They also serve our favorite wine, Annalisa Pinot Grigio. My favorite restaurant for a truly fine dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great Anniversary EveningAnnivMealDined on 8/9/2014Enjoyed a wonderful 28th Anniversary Evening at II Samuels! Drove 40 miles to eat there and it was well worth the drive!Special Features:
- 27th AnniversaryTheLEOSDined on 7/19/2014We visited in a slow night. The restaurant was nice- what you would expect in a higher level eatery in a small town. Harpist was playing which provided a serene background to our dinner but did not intrude on the conversation. The appetizers were very good. I was disappointed that they did not have the braised ribs especially after seeing the menu did not include the rack of lamb I saw on the online menu. I ended up ordering the Veal entree and substituted orzo in lieu of lentils. Slightly unhappy with the breading on the veal especially as the breading on the oysters/shrimp appetizer was great. Atmosphere and wait staff was great. Wait staff was unobtrusive but mindful of the table and needs. Great first visit- will visit again soonSpecial Features:

- Great foodLiv2eatDined on 5/29/2014Food is always excellent at this restaurant, from the appetizers to the desserts. The service could have been better. We had a group of 9 and the waitress took too long to get our orders with too much time between the meal and dessert as well. Wines were also good.Special Features:

- Out of town dinerslwholtDined on 4/26/2014For what was supposed to be one of the better restaurants in Spartanburg, my party was disappointed with the main courses ordered. One had short ribs. They were overcooked and dry. The sirloin special for the night was flavorless but the risotto delicious. The pasta dish was the best of the entrees ordered. The service acceptable, however, a wine glass had to be returned. Items had dried on the outside of the glass. Oddly enough there was no apology for the dirty glass from either the waitress or management. The ambience was pleasant & the noise level minimal. The outside seating area seemed most pleasant. I wish I could explain away the above by saying they were extremely busy on a Sat night but that was not the case this night.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/23/2014It was ok, first time going. Excepted a more after hearing other talk about it.

- Perfect date nightYogagirlDined on 3/21/2014My husband and I always enjoy Two Samuels. Our last experience was for their 10th Anniversary celebration. The restaurant's new look was beautiful, the new menu was delish and the live music was delightful. I'd highly recommend this rare, locally owned, Spartanburg gem to anyone looking for a lovely evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food appears to haveDisappointedDined on 3/14/2014Good food appears to have appeal to the locals. Ambience and floor plan was not what was expected. Did not have a cozy feel to celebrate a special occasion. Seemed more interested in a family type environment than intimate settings.Special Features:
- Better luck next time.ReenieDined on 3/5/2014My salad was less than filling. Tons of greens, few walnuts and feta, five thin slices of pear...disappointing, especially for the $11 price. Won't order their salad again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Met "critic's" expectationsOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 2/13/2014My husband is very critical when dining out. He said his filet was perfectly done to his specifications and the spinach side was the best he has ever had. Our salads and entrees were excellent and the wine was quite good. We enjoyed the evening very much. When we have out of town guests, we bring them to II Samuels. The previous time we dined at II Samuels, we took our daughter and her husband who must have gluten free food. The restaurant staff was most accommodating. The chief even came to the table to be sure everything was all right.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved itChamDined on 1/31/2014This restaurant was recommended by our hosts at a nearby B&B as the best choice for a special occasion (my wife's birthday). It did not disappoint. The food was outstanding. I could have lived without the live music (solo guitar) but no doubt others found it added ambiance. The guy was good, we're just not big fans of that music. The place is pricey, so for us this is a special occasion place, but I could see us returning definitely.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent ChoiceTuckDined on 1/21/2014First timer. I chose restaurant off internet for something different for our 47th anniversary. Absolutely no regrets. Had requested a quiet table away from kitchen and we were placed in the wine room for a pleasant atmosphere, and provided a glass of champaign for the occasion. Had scallops for appetizer and were delicious. Ordered filet and barrel fish for entrees and both were very very good. Talked to owner before leaving and thanked him for helping make the special occasion special. We were put on their email list for special offerings. Coming from Hendersonville made it a 90 mile round trip, but the experience was worth it...we will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good FoodGolfproDined on 1/18/2014Our food was very good. All pleased with food. Ambience is okay, they try to make it pretty, but still a little casual feeling. But really only bad thing about entire evening was our service. Had a young girl who was very unattentive. Told her three times that three of us were there for Birthdays all that week and each time she expressed surprise! Our water was never refilled and wanted more drinks, but couldn't get her attention. Thankfully during dinner we had wine, so we were able to fill our own glasses from the bottle. .Eventually one of our group went to find her so we could have more coffee with our after dinner drinks and then she gave us attitude! Gratuity was added to bill. Usually we add extra, but not this time!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Restaurant in Spartanburg!Kat2427VIPDined on 1/15/2014I have eaten here several times recently and enjoyed everything. My husband loves the seafood farfalle. I thought he was going to lick the plate! Their olive oil garlic base flatbread is to die for. Also, the blue cheese dressing is homemade and delicious. Our server was great and the prices are good. I also love their lunch.Special Features:

Since they knew it was our anniversary, we was asked if we wanted to sit in the wine room which was very nice of them to ask. It was a very nice setting for us to be able to spend quiet time with each other. The service was great and the waitress stayed on top of everything. The food was quite wonderful! We will definitely be coming back again to enjoy a wonderful place to eat!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Not as good as first time....CharlestonCatDined on 9/19/2013This was my second trip to II Samuels and I was a bit disappointed. We were a group of 4 and while everyone enjoyed their food, my tuna on a beet infused orzo was rather bland and the pasta was too. I guess their menu changes so the risotto I had my heart set on from their website was unavailable. Not saying don't do, but I value consistency in a restaurant so would think twice.Special Features:
