Okay, so far: Surgery - Paid Yily the deposit...
Surgery - Paid Yily the deposit ($200) on 4/27/13 -she still hasn't accepted it. I called and spoke to Yira at the office on Saturday and she said to send verifiation through email (done-need to follow up). Need to pay balance. Not near her bank and NOT carrying cash, so either PayPal or somehow mailing the payment to her bank - need a deposit ticket for her bank or someone that is near one that wouldn't mind depositing the check for me.
Flight - RT nonstop ($465) JetBlue which includes $40 for extra space seat on the (4 hour) ride back
Stay - We are staying for 2 weeks - 1 week recovery B&B house, the other at a hotel (see below)
Recovery House - Booked a B&B type RH (for a week) to be shared with my buddy blitzgirl ($75 per night total, so we are splitting it); includes 3 meals a day and all transportation: to/from airport and doctors visits, as well as grocery store for anything beyond the 3 meals.
Hotel - Booked a 3* beach from resort (for week 2) to be shared with by bud, of course ($260ish total) - its about the same distance as CIPLA from the airport only the othe direction. We plan on being done with all visits by then, if not, we can get our last visit in before we go (and we are not that far away anyway).
Ordered 2nd fajate - $98 (with sleeves) from ebay. I got it 2 sizes smaller than my current measurements (ordered a XS-I'm a M now).
Ordered a marble rolling pin - $20 from ebay. Yes, the kind for rolling dough. I read that it is good to help the fat stay even (I read a long time ago that it was good for cellulite, especially when heated first-by dipping in hot water). -worth a shot
Vitamins - I have only been taking iron, vit C + B12 so far. Starting a multi today and will make a list and order the other stuff I need today (I'm 3 weeks away, so I want to be on all I need by 2 weeks away).
Local doctor - going to call doctors office this week and make an appointment (I want to see what is covered under my insurance for pre-tests; I'm financially challenged right now and will only pay for what is covered and what is necessary/affordable); I will be getting pre-op test down there the day I get in - June 3rd
Insurance - getting my medical (and maybe trip) insurance through - insuremytrip.com
Passport - I need to get mine renewed - I have to call and go in person and do the expedited thing. I really did NOT have the money to do it earlier. (that is the last major thing I need other than confirming a ride to and from the airport)
Supplements: I am making a list of supplements I...
If anyone has ways that they saved $ getting anything: supplies, meds, etc. feel free to post here.
Fajate sleeves - ($35) ebay - they are $80 if you...
Pstyle - ($12) ebay/Amazon - about the same price either way (must have ladies)
Payments: I had such a hard time with payments...
In the meantime, I did research on Chase bank. You can open a "QuickPay" account even if you do not have an account. You set up an account (from another bank using routing and account numbers) for the bank from which the fees will come out of. Then you choose to send money and just list Yily's name "Yily Loramny De Los Santos" is what I used and her hotmail account "email@example.com" + I chose $200 (the first time you can't go over $300 until the account is confirmed). When it goes through, you get a screen with a confirmation number. Take a snap shot of the screen (print screen which you can paste into the paint program and save as a jpg) and send to her.
Insurance -- Yily's price does NOT include...
I want to find out what is included in this insurance, so if you know, post it below (thanks). Either way, this site can beat the cost and coverage at a fraction of the price.

Boppy Pillow
There are other cheaper pillow options as well, such as: http://www.ebay.com/itm/321122571968?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Search on "round pillow" and you will get other options.

Doctors visit(s)
I weigh 147 (was 126 about 2 years ago and probably 135 the end of last year before the weight gain). My goal weight (or comfortable weight) is 130ish, so the extra for the booty is fine (even if it stays, so long as it stays there Idc what the scale says, which is why I had to find out from the doctor how much I weigh).
Fajate information:
Here is the link for the fajate with sleeves for $98: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110829069607&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:3160
Here are the compression sleeves for $33: http://www.ebay.com/itm/321007476525?var=510084819643&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Blood work: (from PC) Done
Hgb - 13.2 (scale 11.5 - 16.0)
A few of the tests that Yily said is included in her preOp were not on my results, but I know I don't have any of the conditions.
The tests she does for preOp are: TTP, HIV, Hb, HCV, fasting glucose, glucose, urea, serum creatinine, complete blood count, VDRL, AND RH BLOOD TYPE.
TTP - thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) - is a rare blood disorder. In TTP, blood clots form in small blood vessels throughout the body. The clots can limit or block the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the body's organs, such as the brain, kidneys, and heart. As a result, serious health problems can develop
HIV - uman immunodeficiency virus
Hb - hemoglobin (iron levels in blood)
HCV - Hepatitis C
fasting glucose - glucose level after 12 hrs of no eating
glucose - i don't know why this would ever be tested NOT in a fasted state
urea - for pregnancy (and possible blood in urine)
serum creatinine - tests for renal (kidney) function
CBC - complete blood count - gives important information about the kinds and numbers of cells in the blood, especially red blood cells camera, white blood cells camera, and platelets.
VDRL - test for syphilis
RH BLOOD TYPE - is just your "O" "positive" etc.
Prescriptions: My doctor(s) is dead set against Heparin
Communication: to all Doctors in the DR
Information from the US Dept of State: (not to scare, just to be aware)
The U.S. Embassy calls attention to certain criminal techniques that have surprised U.S. citizens and other victims in recent years:
•Several individuals reported robberies perpetrated by criminals on mopeds (often coasting with the engine turned off so as not to draw attention). The driver approaches a pedestrian, grabs his or her cell phone, purse or backpack, and then speeds away. This type of robbery is particularly dangerous because the motorcyclist reaches the intended victim at 15–20 miles per hour and often knocks the victim to the ground.
•The Embassy has received reports of crime involving apparent police collaboration. A seemingly-friendly stranger shakes hands with a tourist, who then finds that the stranger has placed a small baggie of cocaine or other substance into the tourist's hand. The tourist is then immediately apprehended by a police officer, and pays a "fine" to the police to be set free.
•U.S. citizens have been victimized at the airports in Santo Domingo and Punta Cana as they checked in their luggage and prepared to leave the country. Smugglers obtained an authentic airline baggage tag in a U.S. citizen's name and placed it on baggage that contained drugs, presumably to be retrieved by an accomplice at the other end of the flight.
•Criminals may also misrepresent themselves in an effort to gain access to your residence or hotel room. In one case, Dominican police arrested a building's maintenance man and an accomplice for a violent crime against a U.S. citizen. There have been instances when U.S. citizens were robbed of large amounts of cash immediately prior to a scheduled financial transaction by thieves with apparent inside knowledge of the transaction. In one case, a U.S. citizen was robbed just outside his attorney's office, and in another case a U.S. citizen reported he was victimized by two police officers.
Sorry I haven't updated-I've had an epidural headache.
Basicially, "The average sized adult human has roughly 150ml (a little less than 8 oz or 1 cup) of a clear watery fluid, called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the central nervous system, surrounding the spinal cord and brain. One of the functions of the CSF is to provide a protective layer, essentially to act as a cushion to shield the brain from the hard bony skull and to provide a soft environment for the blood vessels to supply and drain blood from the brain. There is a thin membrane surrounding the brain and spinal cord called the "dura". When there is loss of CSF for whatever reason, usually as a result of a hole in the dura, the brain tends to sag, due to loss of this protective fluid cushion. This brain sagging causes stretching in the connective tissues in the cranium, this stretching is sensed as pain, and hence the headache. Also, the loss of some CSF causes blood vessels in the brain to dilate, which can also be perceived as a painful sensation."
I have been taking medication and finally found something that worked. I'm getting checked today, so I man need the dural patch, which is taking blood and releasing it into the area outside the dural membrance and the blood clots and repairs the leak. I just don't know if I want to do that here or not (or wait til I get home). :-?
CIPLA - Pre-Op tests
CIPLA - More about CIPLA - the rooms & services
The recovery rooms are aweful!!! Many of the antiquated beds are broken (mine, the head part could go up/down, but the legs could not, the nurse button did not work, neigher did the lights or anything else). The railings on these old beds are filthy! I NEVER saw anywone even wipe them down. I went into 4 rooms, they were all dirty! Mine had some sort of splatter on it. I thought it was just a stain, but I scratched it and some came off, I was like "ewe." I later threw up in my bed twice and I'd put money down that they never even wiped those rails since (and I'm NOT a gambling woman).
The put the AC on high and it is sooo damn cold in there. When you come out of surgery you are already cold, so it is AWFUL. I asked for a blanket 4 times and NEVER got one. All I got was "one momento" which really means, let me go so I can NEVER come back. And if they do come back - 4 hrs later, it is NOT with your blanket. They did give me pain medication when I asked (and once when I didn't).
Some nurses are fabulous others shouldn't be nurses. The nurse that draws your blood is awful. I'm yet to meet one person who didn't say she hurt them (my blood is easy to draw-my veins stick out). She was digging in there like she was mining for gold. I told her she had to stop twice. Luckily she listed after the 2nd time.
Food? HA! you won't really get much. After I threw up, I asked for some water. At first they said no, but I insisted I needed to wash the damn acid out of my mouth. I finally got some. I asked for a bin/bowl in case I got sick again and NEVER got one. The first time, they ended up giving me a bed pan (yes the one you poop in) and after seeing everything I've seen sthere I doubt is was even ever cleaned-maybe rinsed if I was lucky. When I threw up again, I had no bowl, I ended up throwing up on my gown, so as I kept throwing up, I kept pulling it up and turning it so it wouldn't get all over me and the bed. It was sooo damn hard, and gross!!!! and because the IV went through the gown I couldn't completely get if off me. Then I got yelled at for being on my stomach!!!! What the heck, I just threw up (again). I was twisted in the sheet and was a mess and they still NEVER gave me a bin to throw up in. (my lunch is here, so more later).
Positive: I had to throw in a positive because there was so much negative...
CIPLA - Okay back to CIPLA
SURGERY - It's time - no backing out now.
Recovery House Info - Several people asked, so I got her permission to share her info
Oloff Palmer #2, Los Prados
Santo Domingo
I stayed there 8 days with Blitzgirl. (anothe RS memeber was also there for a week and another girl not on RS there a week too). She was amazing to all of us. She went above and beyond helping us out, brought us shopping for food before surgery, got all the meds we needed, fed us 3 meals a day, cleaned our rooms and changed our drains, had her nurse come in to clean us and our faja's. She speaks fluent English (lived in NY and has her BA degree). Blitzgirl has had several complications and Yasmin is still checkin on us (we left her RH days ago), she is still calling CIPLA for us, pharmacies, talking to our taxi driver, interpreting, etc. ect. She is such a godsend. I love her and her family. I am so glad we chose her. Her house is nice and clean and her family is so very sweet.
She was dealing with our stuff for the entire week after we left! She is still checking on us. I truly cannot speak high enough of this woman and her family.
RH - more info

Email: email@example.com
CIPLA - closed
The doctors are taking their patients elsewhere for the time being.
That reminds me. I didn't tell you the story about when I went to visit my friend at CIPLA and they changed her full drain right on the sofa on side of me. They put the bin ON the sofa and just started squirting the blood into it. Ewe! Then they never even wiped down the sofa!!! (They are supposed to remove the drain & empty the contents in the bathroom.)
I'm curious as to how many violations they failed. :-/
CIPLA closed - continued
In the meantime, if your surgery is soon, find out what this means to you - where will you be going and how this may affect fees. Don't let them charge you more. If anything, you may have leverage to negotiate a reduced fee or discounted add on.
If you were on the fence about going it, it'd be prime time to get your money back.
Faja - more info - recommendations (what I wish I knew)
My recommendation is to get a faja that fits you, but is snug, then take in the waist. Do NOT go two sizes to small. I'm a small in some areas medium in others and got a small. Arms are too tight at first. I would get the arm garment separate. Get the sleeve to be BELOW your elbow. Get it in your actual size (not smaller because it cuts off circulation) you are better off wearing a garment that is compressing not restricting blood flow!!!!
Results: Although it is still early
My butt really does look like my wish pics - which is not mega booty, but nice curves and meat on the bottom - I hate when most the fat is put on the top (above the midway mark). So she did follow my wishes there.
I have a tiny waist and increadible curves from my waist to my hips! My waist is currently 26" - I think it can go down another inch or two. My butt is like 40" butt it is compressed in the faja, so it may be a 41"; I like it and hope it stays or even fluffs, but the main thing is my shape - it is really nice.
My lips are awesome - both sets. The one below had one lip larger than the other, but they are evening out - I think it was mostly swollen more on one side.
I'm feeling better and quite frankly, ready to exercise - although I know I have to go easy, so walking and stairs to start.
ADVICE -- pre op
DO NOT let the doctor leave unless he has written something on EVERY body part you want something done to... no matter what they say, have them mark you up.
CIPLA - Has reopened!

In this institution are happening things do not go to public light, either for fear of what others may think family and friends of those affected or simply do not know how to act in different cases. I say this because my sister last year was met at the center and left with a hole in the navel and is now suffering from breast tumors, please investigate who spent at site where apparently is full of malpractice Medical ...
CIPLA DEATHS - so very sad
Altagracia Mejia from Switzerland - Dr. Rodriguez - pulmonary problems
Aida Perez from ATL - Dr. Franklin DeJesus - punctured lung
ONE MORE POST - something related (had to share)
Review excerpt from RH (link above): "Well after the Surgery I looked great for about the first 3 hrs. Then I started to feel bad...Very bad... Until eventually I had hives all over my body, temperature of 102, Blood sugar of 200 plus, blood pressure of 208 over 108. I also had shortness of breath. My husband contacted Yily several times. Yily treated me as if I was a DOG... I contracted MRSA and a flesh eating bacteria from the surgery, that per my infectious disease Dr. he thinks the equipment was unsanitary due to the locations of my infection. He said,"Everywhere the scapula touched you have infection". I was in a coma for 5 days,..."
WARNING: I received the below message -
^ source/info not confirmed or substantiated
There are probably many things we don't know (more cases of infection. Malpractice, and even death). The most important information is whether there is malpractice. Did any of the deaths happen due to malpractice? Are the infections a result of malpractice? It is difficult to find this information, and sometimes difficult to prove.
I do believe no doctor wants their patient to die or get infections. I also believe some care more than others. I also believe the ramifications can influence their level of caring. If the stakes are high and the consequences are as well, they are apt to be far more cautious. If it won't hit the news, can be buried, or consequences are a mere fine, they may not be as vigilant in their practice.
Duran strikes me as a women who really cares. If one of her patients did contract an infection, I doubt it was due to her recklessness or lack of caring.
Although negligence can happen when protocols are not followed to ensure patient safety - whether from an assumption that things are fine and there is no danger to determining that the protocol is not necessary out of a perceived sense of safety. For example: I don't have to sterilize these instruments, it's my first surgery of the day, they must be clean or lack of follow-up to ensure all instruments are clean.
Policy: are all people in the OR supposed to change their scrubs for each new surgery? (I would think so.) my friend, blitzgirl said her anesthesia guy had a blood mark on his scrubs and she was trying to move to make sure she didn't touch it when he got close to her. Shouldn't the doctor say "go scrub up"? Or whatever? Shouldn't there be a limit as to how many hours a doctor can operate in a day/week? Ate there standards and protocols? Are they followed? We just don't know much of this, but know we don't want to be in an OR when someone else's blood is on the people working on us? And that we don't want to lay in a bed someone else was bleeding and throwing up in unless it has been properly cleaned, not change of sheets with stains on it, or go into the bathroom and have blood in there (after a drain change).
*patients, not pigments
OPINION - with all that I have said...
Yily is pregnant and due in December
Also, thank you all for the well wishes. I haven't been on much, but I am healing well. Best of luck to all my RS sisters! Be kind to yourself and each other. xo
Stiches -- I just has a stick pop out of my spine
At CIPLA they didn't even tell me that I had one in my belly button, I didn't find out until much later.... several days. Make sure you know were all the incisions are and keep them clean and dry.
I will be back to do a 3 month follow-up in a few days...
lisaandra34 -- burns
solidgold -- Yily not in OR (several people have said this)
I would like to answer some questions
Sorry for my delay in getting back on RS.
Lip information
There are a few doctors that are great lip lift doctors and I will post them in a following post. The cost is aoprx. $2,500. It is something I will do in the future.
revision work needed
I think it was petite mama who had the same problem. Maybe it happens frequently, I will research more, but I wish she didn't touch my arms or lower back, ... Or whoever the hell did. :-/
It has been a year now
I am looking at markman or medietta (so?) so far. I want a smooth sculptor and I'm willing to wait and pay.
Please post any recommendations below.
I am grateful to all of you here. Stay safe ladies.
arms done by different people
Going over my body now that I'm a year out and really evaluating everything.
Dr. Yily is way too overbooked. The day before my surgery she did surgery on five patients and had 7 post-op patients. Four of the 7 post-op patients had complaints about Yily missing something (arms, thighs, or something). The day of my surgery, which she almost did 7 patients, but ended up only doing 6, she FORFOT my thighs even though I bought a 5-page printout with photos and verbiage in both English and Spanish to to explain all my wishes and concerns. In addition, I had to fill out two sets of papers the day of surgery-on each of these sets of paper, I filled out the procedures being performed: THIGHS were one of the FIRST three words I wrote on each document. When I brought it up to her after surgery. She said I didn't say anything beforehand. I insisted I did and she said, "Don't lie." I kid you not, she said that and I quote her exact words. She did not know that the two women in the attached room were my friends-staying with me at the RH (Blitzgirl and Fabulous Fifty) who will both confirm this is accurate. I did not battle her on it as I was trying to get her to fix it before I left. I later determined I just could not handle another procedure this soon, so I did get my money back. She is a good surgeon. Don't get me wrong. However, she is slipping - big time. She does too many surgeries and is making mistakes, getting lax, and cutting corners IMHO. To give her the credit that she deserves, what she did do for me is fabulous. I do have a great shape. She otherwise followed my wishes/instructions. If I don't lose any of the butt I have right now, I do have exactly what I wanted. So she is good and I did like her, but she was not professional in how she handled the situation and it was a loss for me because now I'm stuck not having my thighs done and it will cost me a lot more now to have them done. She should have on file what I asked for (seeing it was in the first and subsequent emails, it was in the paperwork she requested, as well as the one I brought into consultation AND I paid for it). She shirked responsibility and treated me like I was trying to get away with something and talked to me like you would on the street. I replied with something like, "there was obviously communication issues or misunderstanding, but it is neither here nor there, I would just like it fixed" and I told her I was staying two weeks and asked if she would do it. She said she would see. Normally it is 20 days before you can have surgery again. I do think that she would have done it if I stayed and was fit for it, but I don't like that she said "don't lie." THAT is NOT how you talk to a patient! Period. So that is my final review on Yily. Too much risk, and too much money to fix the errors. It would have been better to save and go to someone who takes their time. Many people need something fixed (uneven lipo, lumps, bumps, unevenness). Given the current state and what is happening and what happened to me even though I knew about the situation and was tring to avoid it, I would also avoid her. :-/

10:51 AM PT -- Joe has just been sentenced to JAIL.
According to our count, Joe has been ordered to serve at least 270 DAYS in county jail.
He's also been sentenced to 36 months probation and has been ordered to complete a Level 3 Anger Management course.
He's also been ordered to complete 1 year of psychological counseling at a rate of 1 session per week.
During the sentencing, the judge expressed serious concerns with Joe's explosive temper -- and warned that it could get him in trouble in the future unless he learns how to keep his cool.
Bond will be set at $250k.
Joe is currently being handcuffed and escorted out of the courtroom.
10:31 AM PT -- Joe's lawyer is begging the court for mercy.
10:29 AM PT -- Joe's motion for a re-trial has been SHOT DOWN. Now on to sentencing ...
9:53 AM PT -- Joe's lawyer is calling BS on the accusers -- claiming he can now prove the women lied during the trial, and therefore Joe deserves another chance to prove his innocence.
Among Joe's arguments -- he claims the women's story about not having cell phone reception at Joe's mansion are untrue ... and they have the phone records to prove it.
Joe also claims an accuser's story that she was "choke slammed" on Joe's tile floor is impossible because he doesn't have tile anywhere in the house.
9:40 AM PT -- The hearing has begun. Due to courtroom rules for this particular hearing, we will only be livestreaming the audio.
8:57 AM PT -- Francis is inside the courtroom, waiting for his case to be called.
8:50 AM PT -- Francis just arrived at the courthouse with his girlfriend Abbey Wilson. She's hot.
8:41 AM PT -- We're told Francis is on his way to the court -- and should arrive momentarily.
It's D-Day for Joe Francis ... the day the "Girls Gone Wild" mogul will learn his sentence for attacking a woman at his Hollywood mansion back in 2011 ... and he's facing serious time behind bars.
TMZ will be streaming live from inside the L.A. courtroom when Joe faces the judge later today. The hearing is scheduled to begin at 8:30 AM PT.
As we previously reported, 3 women had accused Joe of taking them to his Hollywood home -- following a night out -- and refusing to let them leave. He was also accused of attacking one of the women, choke-slamming her head into his tile floor.
Francis was convicted on 5 charges total, including assault, 3 counts of false imprisonment, and 1 count of dissuading a witness from reporting.
Never one to go down without a fight -- Francis recently filed court docs demanding a new trial based on allegations of insufficient evidence. We'll see if the judge buys his argument when the hearing begins.
Stay Tuned...
I think I may just celebrate this news tonight!
Karma is a bitch...this is EXACTLY what he deserves for passing all the judgment on the other house members of Couples Therapy!
This guy joe blow is trash and its karma hitting him in the face he is dirt and trash good luck in jail ********
Would someone please help me understand how a bail was set at $250k after sentencing?
Hey Joe, I take good care of your women, after she been with me, she'll forgot who you are, have a nice 270 days in the county??????
So is this going to be like every other jail sentence handed down to celebrities by the LA County court system where he'll likely only serve a very small fraction of the time due to "overcrowding"? Maybe it will be different for him since he was convicted of violent crimes, but I'll be he worms out of having to serve the whole sentence. Too bad - he's s*** and deserves to be locked away in the deepest recesses of society...
Joe francis is the one who is white trash. He seems like he has problems treating females right. But now he geh ts to go in jail and i hope he get treated the same way he treats others and his house mates on that ahow. Hes a punk and would give up ALOT to have a few moments alone with him cause AMERICA thats all that it would take. I hope his girl leaves him.shes too hot for that waste of skin.
He has that perverted creep look vibe to him. Always has. He kind of looks like a young version of soon to be former Mayor Bob Filner, who is also a perverted creep.
Also, this winner Francis is a very close family friend to the KardASSians. Just sayin'
His next video
Boys Gone wild.
See if California had a stand your ground law, this would be perfectly ok... Heck, that's how we do mullets in Florida...
I am so happy he was sentenced to jail! He deserves it since he is a violent sleazeball! I totally believe these women. If his girlfriend had any self respect she would dump him. Of course it is California so he probably will do 30 minutes in jail which sucks.
"honey will you wait for me and not run off with some other dumb idiot with millions of dollars"
Yeah, Abbey's hot but by her own admission she barfs all day, so you'd be tasting and smelling that.
Finally got the dirt bag!!
Good! Good Riddance!

Unexpected Combo: Gray Sink/White Faucet
Cersaie 2012
Janel continues to send back reports from her visit to Cersaie, the massive exhibition of ceramic tile and bathroom furnishings in Italy.
Dark gray sink with white faucet - pretty, unusual choice.

Very cool. Stainless is so boring.
The seventies are back?
Are these ceramic? In this photo, they have a very cheap, plasticky look :-/
I don't mind that sink, but that white is hideous. 80's. Expect to walk in and see silver disco wallpaper and one of those prints of women in a silver frame.
Like this one....
The sink is nice but I think a brushed metal would look so, so, SO much better. Plastic or plastic looking faucets are just hideous.
The sink is very contempary, the spigot; '90s & faucet handles; retro Playskol®. Really missed the mark with the fittings here. White rubber stopper on a chain for the drain?

> The third RCAI international Summer Program 2008
RCAI News
The third RCAI international Summer Program 2008
June 20-27, 2008
The third RCAI international Summer Program (RISP 2008) was held in Yokohama June 20-27. Thirty-nine graduate students and postdoctoral fellows from nineteen countries participated in RISP 2008. The first part of the program was held at RCAI and featured poster and oral presentations by the participants and a series of lectures by invited speakers from RCAI, Japanese universities, and abroad. The second part of the program was the joint RCAI/Japan Society of Immunology meeting. "Regulation of immune homeostasis and diseases" held at the Pacifico Conference center in Yokohama. Two of the participants stayed on at RCAI for a four week long laboratory internship.
The focus of the lectures at RCAI was on innate immunity but other topics included lymphocyte development/differentiation, immune evasion, mucosal immunity, and immunotherapy. These lectures provided a broad overview of the immune system, with methodologies ranging from single molecule to whole animal analyses. Each of the invited speakers incorporated introductory material pertinent to their topic as well as recent highlights from their own research. The research interests of the participants were similarly varied, making for a unique opportunity during the oral and poster presentations as well as in more informal settings for cross-fertilization among immunology subdisciplines. The question periods following talks by both invited lecturers and participants were spirited and stimulating.
Several of the invited lecturers also gave talks at the RCAI/JSI meeting, where they described further new developments in their research programs. There were also many new speakers and topics, thus further increasing the breadth of the immunology coverage available to the RISP participants. Awards for best RISP posters were presented at a reception during the RCAI/JSI meeting. All of the participants gathered to express their appreciation to the organizers for inviting them to RISP 2008, an exceptional experience from scientific and cultural perspectives. The success of this unique program is due to the efforts of the Organizing Committee, chaired by Dr. Kurosaki, Dr. Ishido and Dr. Tanaka, the RISP Secretariat, Ms. Aki, who kept the entire operation running smoothly, and in particular to the efforts of the outstanding participants. Planning is already underway for RISP 2009, tentatively scheduled for early July.

Outdoor fire safety reminder from Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service
As part of the July Fire Kills campaign, Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service is asking people to stay safe this summer by barbecuing safely, avoiding a fire when boating, and to camp safely.
Fire Kills' top tips for camping safely:
• Allow at least 6m spacing between tents and caravans and ensure they are away from parked cars to reduce the risk of fire spreading
• Never use candles in or near a tent.
• Keep cooking appliances away from the tent walls and never cook inside a small tent or near flammable materials or long grass.
• Make sure everyone knows how to put out clothing that's on fire – stop, drop and roll.
• Don't smoke inside tents.
• Fit and test a smoke alarm in your caravan.
• Take special care when cooking – don't leave pans unattended.
• Turn off all appliances before you go out or to bed.
• Make sure ashtrays are made of a material that can't burn or topple over – never smoke in bed.
• Don't dry clothes over the stove.
• Remove any litter and rubbish near the caravan to reduce the risk of fire spreading.
• Make sure the caravan is ventilated, and never block air vents, to avoid a build up of poisonous gases.
Open Fires
If you must have an open fire:
• It should be downwind, at least 10m from the tent.
• Clear dry vegetation, leaves, etc. to form a circle of earth around the fire.
• Build a stack that will collapse inwards whilst burning.
• Do not leave fires unattended.
• Make sure fires are fully extinguished after use.
Once the summer arrives, the noise of outdoor life increases immensely: music appears to be played louder and people may speak louder.
If are you are unable to come to an amicable solution with the persons causing the problem, you can report the problem to North Norfolk District Council 01263—516085 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Facebook has already announced a mobile payments "solution" (all buzz words get scare quotes today) with Zong—but Amazon might beat them to the punch. Amazon, one of the (if not the) most popular online commerce sites, premieres its own Mobile Payments System today—and it's not just for their site.
No, Amazon will let third parties use their system for mobile payments. As a trusted online retailer, Amazon could be the one to significantly increase mobile payments with its one-click checkout on other sites.
Amazon has been pretty forward thinking with its payment system. Two years ago, it premiered its Flexible Payments Service (FPS), a little like a Facebook Connect for online payments—they let developers integrate Amazon payments into their site, so users could login through their Amazon account, and use their Amazon payment and shipping info. (FPS users could use a highly flexible billing schedule for their Amazon-affiliated customers.)
The new Mobile Payments System (MPS) builds on those same features, integrating into third-party sites, adding to users' trust, while expanding it to mobile offerings. Plus, if you're already using FPS, MPS is automatically active for your site.
What do you think? Will Amazon MPS catch on, and will it bring mobile payments to the masses?

- Great food and servicecadams7701Dined on 9/21/2014We had a party of 6 with 2 kids. The service was fantastic, food was excellent. Definitely coming back.Special Features:
- great experience with familygtownfoodyDined on 9/7/2014My husband, my parents, and I decided to enjoy Nick's one Sunday evening recently. The first visit we felt that our food was rushed to the table but still very good. We asked the waitress to take things slow and she gladly obliged. Food was close to excellent! We all had steak, the Nick's best filet was cooked perfectly to order. Salad was fresh with house made dressings. The brie and the firecracker shrimp were very good appetizers. I would have enjoyed a few more shrimp on the plate for the price of the app. It never seems busy enough at the restaurant when we have been, I am concerned they will not stay open at this rate. It would be a shame to lose a local higher-end eatery such as Nick's though.Special Features:
- Date nightLikes2eatDined on 8/24/2014Great place for a romantic evening.nice atmosphere.food is exceptional.great serviceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Poor Service Overshadowed Eveningth2011Dined on 8/23/2014Recently dined at Nick's with a group of four. The atmosphere is great, and the beer selection was surprising (though the Red Oak tap was dry). Unfortunately, there was apparently a large group seated upstairs, and this significantly delayed the food service. Smaller groups (e.g. my group of four) seated downstairs waited at least an hour after ordering for the food to be served. The meal was served at least 45 minutes after we had finished our salads. Of course, these things happen, but the larger issue is that the wait staff made little to no effort to explain the delay. Communication is key.
- nice for birthday!OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/22/2014We didn't know at the time we took my mother there for her birthday that you get 50% off your entree on your big day! She had the filet mignon and loved it. I had the ribeye and it was flavorful. My husband had the prime rib and it also was good. I have to say that the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and recognized my mother's special 87th very nicely! The history of this old 30's movie theater is special. Candlelight is on every table and in every booth table which is a plus with us!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SteveVIPDined on 8/2/2014Very good service and food at this location. Enjoyed all of it very much!Special Features:
- Subpar ExperienceMP28Dined on 7/27/2014I must say I expected great things from Nick's Steak and Taphouse, however the experience was far less than great. It took us 10 minutes to have our drink orders taken only to be told they did not have what we wanted. We then order a different drink that took another 15 minutes to receive 2 bottled beers. Now, normally this would not have phased me had the restaurant been busy but they only had about 15 tables in use and no customers at the bar. After we order - now mind you there was only two of us and order straight off the menu with no changes - it took another 45 minutes to receive our food. All in all, the slow service and subpar food (not hot and not much flavor) will not have me returning to Nicks.Special Features:
- date nightbfjfcDined on 7/26/2014Great place for good food and fun. Went on a Saturday night and had great time. I was equally surprised and thrilled when they offered karaoke after 10. Will definitely go again.Special Features:
- Not what I expected!ShelbyWDined on 7/26/2014Nicks Steakhouse was defiantly not what we expected it to be! The food was bland, portions were extremely small for the price, our food came out cold! Also our food came out wrong according to the description on the menu, we actually had to ask our waitress about it and she even said we were missing items or ingredients! Nicks defiantly loves shellfish also, almost everything in the menu had shellfish, and my husband is allergic to shellfish and when we asked if certain things on the menu could be made without shellfish we were told no so that defiantly limited my husband on what he could order! This was our first time at Nicks and unfortunately this will be our last, and we wouldn't recommend this place to any of our friends or family!
- Good, but not 4 starseeking5starsDined on 7/26/2014Food was of strong quality: steak was wonderful, quality cut, cooked to perfection. Salad was sub-par, strawberries on the salad were wilted. Side of fresh corn and asparagus was great, and potato cake was delish. Service was ok, not very personable and didn't spend too much time helping us, dressed very causal for high end dining (stretch pants, sneakers, no apron). For the price, this place needs to step up their service to match the quality and price of their food.Special Features:
- AwesomeanniversaryDined on 7/25/2014Everything was wonderful! Its was perfect for our anniversary! Food , service the works was awesome!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Worth a try...TMo1Dined on 7/25/2014The over all experience was good. The steaks were nicely seasoned and cooked. The sides still left something to be desired. A little overpriced in my opinion, but still worth trying out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/24/2014On Thursday my daughter takes me out to eat, our date night, and she chose your restaurant. I was very happy with everything at Nick's and we had a wonderful server. She suggested foods for us when we couldn't make up our minds and we enjoy the food very much. Can't wait to return..Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful Night at Nicks!MillersDined on 7/21/2014We completely enjoyed our evening. The food was very good and our waitress was exceptional. The atmosphere is very relaxing and we didn't realize that we had been there for a couple of hours enjoying the night. We wish you continued successSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mehdchristo4VIPDined on 7/19/2014I came in with high hopes and left disappointed. Hostess had our reservation and sat us immediately. We looked over the menu and made our drink selection but it took almost 10 minutes to get someone to take our drink order. A few minutes later our waitress (different from the one who took our drink order) showed up with the drinks. She apologized but timeliness was just not her thing. We got our food quickly enough but waited a long time to get our check... The food was lackluster. The fried artichoke appetizer was bland and not crispy at all - definitely needed salt. The grilled steaks were good but in no way exceptional. All the chicken dishes have cheese and bacon, wtf?. Brussel sprouts were underdone.
- not worth the driveBradDined on 7/19/2014First of all I live 45 mins. Away but since it was restaurant week my wife and I said what heck lets try some where different. I check Nicks out online look like a nice place and said it had the best fillets around. So my son had the fillet I had the new york strip and my wife had the ribeye. Fillet was good the other two I could better grilling at homeSpecial Features:
- Great findDavidDined on 7/18/2014Me and my wife drove from Charlotte NC . The food was wonderful and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. We are still talking about how good the food tasted. If anyone gets a chance please go there. It's worth the drive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Yum!Diner52Dined on 7/18/2014The food was excellent and the wait staff great. The muffins they brought to the table were unique and tasty. Enjoyed watching old movies while we dined.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CharlieVIPDined on 7/12/2014This restaurant has an amazing decor. I was over joyed by the shiny wooden floor and the spotless tabletops and bar. The service was outstanding and all the employees worked as a cohesive team. The food was wonderful and I was elated that sodium was at a minimum in the food prepared.Special Features:
- Quiet Lunch SpotOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/28/2014We tried this place previously for Restaurant week and it was very good so decided to return when in the area recently. Lunch was pricing was very reasonable. Service was very good and we enjoyed our quiet lunch.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/25/2014We have been here 4 times and always enjoy this dining experience. The food is great -- and we have tried a variety of their menu. Also -- all the staff helps -- not just the waitress assigned -- everyone fills glasses -- and if your food is up -- then someone brings it to you. And you are always attended well by the assigned waitress.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place!bend22Dined on 6/16/2014Nick's is a great place! Superb food and excellent service. The old movie-house theme adds flair!Special Features:
- SadtosayDined on 6/14/2014We were disappointed in our dining experience at Nick's. We ordered Nick's Filet as our entrees, and we both felt our steak really had no flavor. The salad wasn't very good, and the fries were greasy. For the money we spent, we expected much better quality food. This was our first visit to Nick's and we have no intention of returning.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 6/13/2014Side order portions were EXTREMELY small ... Mash potatoe side order was smaller than one scoop of ice creamI would recommend this to a friend.

- rlbjDined on 5/20/2014Everything was perfect. Drinks, food, ambiance and server's attention to our needs. This is a Gastonia treasure!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great DiningnicksfanDined on 5/11/2014Nick's is a relaxing place to dine with great food.Special Features:
- Exceptional Surprise!RHDinerVIPDined on 4/27/2014Delightful surprise! Had read mixed reviews so we were cautious. From hostess to bartender, and wait staff everyone was pleasant and accommodating. After taking our order, the waiter returned for clarification. He was so embarrassed, he brought us a complimentary appetizer, crab dip with pita points. Although unnecessary, it was exceptional with yummy pieces of crab. Two in our party ordered the stuffed flounder and substituted the brussel sprouts for the whipped potatoes. Great! Also had the seafood plate and a burger - excellent. The burger tasted like prime rib. Portion sizes were just right without being too large. The atmosphere in the old theater was fun. We normally eat out in Charlotte, but add this treasure to our options!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DinnerDinnerDined on 4/23/2014The food was very good; however, the portions of salmon were very, very small! The salmon was supposed to be at least 6 oz but looked more like 4. Our server was attentive and the ambience was good. Overall, a good experience. We will go there again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 4/20/2014We made reservations for the Easter buffet at Nick's. The food had obviously been sitting out all day, (we went towards the end of the day but still expecting the food to be refreshed). The food was lukewarm, they never refilled the caesar salad after it was emptied, and the selection was pitiful for the exorbitant price of $18.99 a person I expected much much more. We were told when we called to make the reservation that we would be able to order off the menu, however this was not the case when we arrived. This would not have been a problem if the food selection and quality hadn't been so terrible. This is not the first time we have been disappointed by this restaurant, however it will be the last as we will not be dining here again.
- Ribeye steak was ordered mediumOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/2/2014Ribeye steak was ordered medium rare with emphasis on rare, came well-done and cut was poor quality. Good selection of beer on tap.
- Nothing Special...CLTReviewerVIPDined on 4/2/2014To be fair, the place has so much potential since it's an old converted movie theater. The bar had a fair amount of beer selections so it lives up to its name however the food was poor. We dined during the week so we did not have a chance to try the "famous Prime Rib." The food seemed to be frozen and just heated with sauce. Nothing special by any measure... If you are looking for a casual place with a above average beer selection, Nick's Tap Room fits the bill however if you are expecting "fine Gastonia" dining, this place should not be on your radar. As for the service, our bartender was friendly and attentive however our waiter did not know too much of the menu items. The service was average so nothing too bad or great at the same time.
- I picked Nick'sfood4lifeDined on 3/22/2014They have a banging Prime Rib sandwich that they need to get back but overall not badSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First visit was great!KernickysDined on 3/21/2014This was mine and my wife's first visit to Nick's. When we walked in the door the hostesses treated us like regulars and had to be the nicest wait staff I've ever seen. We were seated immediately even on A Friday night. Our waitress, Heather, was super cool and extremely nice. The food selection was great and our order arrived promptly. Overall, this place is a cool venue and I will be returning to try more of their extensive menu.Special Features:
- BirthdayBowen63Dined on 3/16/2014The Bison meatloaf was great. Shrimp and grits? We'll grits were hard not done and the sauce tasted funny-not good. The side portions were pitiful I had 2 bites and my steamed vegetables were gone. My son had about 4 bites f mashed potatoes and that was it. Salads were very small. It was slow and our drinks still got empty. The cheesecake was great! And my daughter got 50% off her meal for her birthday. The 2 dudes at bar were a little loud. Overall not bad. Will go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- steakKramrevracDined on 3/15/2014It was a good cut of beef but it was not hot enough when it was served.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great resturant!FoodieDined on 3/15/2014This is a wonderful local spot in downtown Gastonia. I've come here often for a group celebration or for a romantic dinner. It's an old theater and they still play old movies on the big screen.

- A Must Try/Repeat!Foodie4LyfeDined on 3/1/2014I always try to find a local restaurant to take my family when they come in town for a visit. Nick's scored a 10+ on everything from food, ambience, and service. Everyone ordered something different from the menu so we could try a lot of items. OMG….the steaks were so deliciously tender and cooked perfectly. The Fire Cracker shrimp we almost fought over the last one! Even the wedge salad deserves a mention. It was so crisp,cold and fresh with yummy blue cheese. The kicker here was March is my birthday month so I ate for 1/2 price! I am glad we went on 3/1 because I will be returning before the end of the month to take advantage of the special. The overall price I felt was fine for the quality of everything Nick's Tap Room offers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I'm doing a rotation in the Emergency Department at the moment. And mostly I'm really enjoying it.
Like every rotation there's a mixture of senior clinicians, some who are excellent mentors and colleagues and others who really don't seem to care much at all. But that's another post.
I've had some great clinical learning moments, but also some important learning about systems.
The other week I had a patient who had attended ED with a letter from a specialist outside of the hospital. It was short and addressed to a senior clinician in the hospital and referred to a senior registrar stating that he had said to send the patient into ED for further management as the patient had been under that team only 1 week previously. The patient was not acutely unwell - stable, not in pain, but also clearly not improving since recent admissions.
So, I took a history, did an examination and ordered some bloods. Then I called the registrar. He knew all about the patient and went on to explain that the senior consultant mentioned wasn't the correct one due to some confusion about teams on call a few weeks ago. He said to call another registrar who knew about the situation and would see the patient.
The second registrar asked me about my findings and results and then promptly declined to come and see the patient. I was honest and direct with him, as I didn't feel the patient was acutely unwell - certainly they needed follow-up but it didn't have to happen immediately (as a side note, the external consultant could have done all of this but appeared to be handballing the patient). It didn't seem like an appropriate referral but I had felt the pressure to do the bidding of an external consultant who had been in touch with a team within the hospital. The external consultant had also given the patient and family a certain expectation about admission and further investigations in hospital.
It may read like all of this happened very quickly, but this is over the course of 3 hours or so while I was also seeing other patients and doing a handover at the end of my shift.
So, what have I learnt?
Even if there are letters from consultants and plans made for a patient outside of the ED, workup the patient and refer them on as necessary. Certainly contact the teams involved, but focus on what the patient needs. Try and find a solution for their problems.
I've also learnt that when I'm on a receiving team I certainly won't be telling a patient to come to ED and then not seeing them.
we had a teaching session this week on clinical aggression that primarily focussed on patient-clinician aggression. we have a co-ordinator for the Management of Clinical Aggression whose job it is to oversee protocols, edcuation, management and assessment for any aggression and violence in the workplace.
whenever there is the potential for aggression and/or violence involving a patient Code Grey can be called. this can be planned or unplanned (I think the rate is 60% planned 40% unplanned at the moment).
when you call a Code Grey a small team attend, made up of 4 big security guards, a senior clinician, a nurse, a medical officer (usually from the area calling the code), and an emergency co-ordinator. plus any unit staff that may be involved.
what got me thinking was that there's no one role that is assigned for someone to be a patient advocate. of course in the majority of cases/situations any health professional can be, and probably should be, an advocate for the patient and this applies to those clinicians involved in code greys. but i think there's a potential for a specific trained person to attend code grey events and act only as the patient advocate. this could allow situations to descalate quicker than usual, as often the code grey becomes a very oppositional event and ends with what can appear to be punitive measures of restraint (chemical or physical or both).
but if there was one person who could enter the fray and tell the patient, "I'm here for you and want to help you resolve this. I'm not a doctor or nurse. I will advocate for you." I think there is the potential to shift the oppositional status quite quicky and perhaps have less restrictive outcomes for the patient.

Understand what plants need to grow and thrive
All plants require light to grow and thrive. Some plants seem to worship the sun and can bask in it all day. But there are other plants that will burn up and die if exposed to more than a couple of hours of direct sunlight each day. Plants that require full sun need at least six hours of sunlight each day.

Thank you! I'm feeling slightly less overwhelmed now.
Do tell!
I have a lot of digital scrapbook pages finished, and I want to finally get them printed. Should I go with a book or with single pages? Which do you prefer?

Yes, I always read the TOUs first AND ask the designer if I'm using any scrapbook products. I know some love you to use their stuff and some aren't okay with it. I always like to give them full...
I love what I see. Welcome welcome welcome!
Ooh, those are the truest white papers I've seen. So many have a yellow tinge.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I really appreciate it.
Any blogs you would recommend?
I kinda dropped out of scrapping for awhile but I want to get going again. I see that IkeaGoddess isn't hunting anymore. Where do you go for freebies?
Hey, I'm looking through my collection as I make a template to (hopefully) streamline my scrapping a little more. I'm looking for a basic white paper for a background. While I have plenty of white...

We had this last year on New Year's Eve and it's definitely becoming a tradition. So yummy!
Thanks! That's just what I was looking for.
I'm looking for some digital scrapbook paper that looks like newspaper. Anyone seen some?
I'm with you! Evidently trying out the new program and trying to feed a baby and entertain a three-year-old at the same time isn't conducive to quality scrapping.
Whoops, can't finish right now! Signing off to feed adorable baby. I'll try to finish up later and post.
Just the two!
Things are going great! I had a baby girl three months ago so now I can use some of your princess kits!
I'm doing a boy, too, so no flowers. Time to use my "artistic license."
Yay! Baby asleep, son watching movie on other side of monitor, and I'm trying to scrap for the first time with a new OS and a new program . . . eek!
Yeah. Do I dare try this with a baby in my lap and a 3-year-old on the loose around the room? :)
Thanks so much, Christy!
Here's my layout for Ordie. She gave me such a cute picture, it was so fun to work with!
I adore it, Ordie. I especially like the font you chose. Thanks so much for playing along with me.
Thanks for clearing that all up!

"You'll Never Know" Pioneer B-Side out now + more info!
Hello Everyone, we are excited to announce that a new song from "Pioneer and The Good Love" UK/Europe release and "Good Love" (The Pioneer B - Sides EP) is now streaming on our youtube page. You can also purchase the single on Itunes HERE!
This song was recorded along with 26 other tracks. We are excited for you all to hear the songs that did not make Pioneer.
A message from The Maine:
This record represents persistence, passion and the failure to give in when all around have given up. Pioneer initially started out as an expeieriment. In this experiment, we attempted to take the creative process to lengths we had never gone before. We wrote and recorded 9 songs, took them to the powers that be, and were rejected. Instead of allowing this denial to be the end, we decided to take things further. Heading back to El Paso, TX we recorded an additional 17 songs, self-funding & co-producing (along with Colby Wedgeworth) them all while knowing there was a possibility they'd never see the light of day. Through it all, the only thing that kept us going was knowing that our fans were there for us.
You can Pre Order "Pioneer and the Good Love" Album in the UK/EU below UK/Europe:
Pre Orders
The US/World (minus UK/EUROPE) release of "Good Love" EP will be available on the 11th of September on Itunes.

"[A] compelling narrative . . . An elevated manner of address and a rich vocabulary at odds with his impoverished state and deadbeat friends make Mr. Eighner a quirky guide into the homeless condition as he plunges on, through Miracle Miles, desert flea markets, and dusty truck stops, surviving en route the complex architecture of highway access ramps, subzero temperatures, psychotic companions, and an amazing encounter with the Texas welfare system."—The Wall Street Journal
"The most eloquent description to date of what it is like to be homeless."—San Diego Union-Tribune
"If there's any justice in the world, [this book] should guarantee its author a roof over his head for the rest of his days."—The New York Times Book Review
"Eighner's account of his life on the streets is great writing, factual and declarative like George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London, personal and affecting like The Diary of Anne Frank. And he is funny . . . I found myself remembering its visceral details in my dreams."—L.A. Style
"Lars Eighner has written a remarkable book, and introduced us to an unforgettably singular character—himself. His elegant, courtly language and wry sense of humor play a perfect counterpoint to the grubby misadventures he recounts. Comparisons to Defoe's Robinson Crusoe and Hamsun's Hunger—as well as, of course, Orwell and Ackerly—leap to mind. Eighner is a witty and informative commentator (he knows a lot ot odd, interesting stuff), and an astute, economical portraitist of various grifters. scroungers, pathological liars, and Good Samaritans who cross his path. This book will become a classic of down-and-out literature. But beyond that, Eighner belongs with the classical personal essayists, who can compel our attention on any subject, because of the idiosyncratic suppleness and sanity of his voice."—Phillip Lopate
"An unaffected, absorbing narrative. Eighner fills his pages with vivid descriptions, perceptive observations, humor, and a writing style that carries the reader easily and almost painlessly over troublesome issues."—Booklist
"Strongly recommended . . . His unique voice [is] part naive innocence, part eccentric fool. Remarkable."—Library Journal
"In spare, unsensational and often elegant prose, Eighner tells how it was possible for him to live from what he gleaned in Dumpsters . . . [He's] a clearheaded observer of the world."—Publishers Weekly

After yet another second-round playoff defeat, the San Jose Sharks are going in a new direction.
Off-Season Game Plan examines the new Sharks era under head coach Todd McLellan.
"He's the guy that fits for us, for now and in the future," general manager Doug Wilson said Thursday, announcing his new coach. "He understands the expectations, and he welcomes them. From our first conversation, I felt that we had similar beliefs and goals."
Coming from the Detroit Red Wings, where he was an assistant for three seasons, McLellan has learned what it takes to be successful in the regular season -- something with which the Sharks are already familiar -- but having climbed the mountain to win the Stanley Cup this year, McLellan has an added dose of perspective.
While the Sharks have a strong nucleus, Wilson still needs to make some moves this summer to give McLellan the best possible lineup.
Given the Sharks' recent trend of falling short in the postseason, it may be time to invest a little more in the payroll so that one of the league's best regular season teams is on closer financial footing with its fellow Stanley Cup competitors.
That's not to say that the Sharks should just open up the vault and throw money around without considering the consequences, but this team is close enough that the right additions will put the Sharks right back into the title mix again next season.
A nice situation for McLellan, that's for sure, but championship expectations are what he signed up for.
GM/COACHDoug Wilson/Todd McLellan
Top Prospects: Logan Couture, Lukas Kaspar, Jamie McGinn
While he can't seem to get over the hump for an extended playoff run, Joe Thornton remains one of the most durable and prolific scorers in the league. In each of the last five seasons, Thornton has played 77 games or more and he's the game's best setup man. Somewhere along the way, though, there is the impression that a player who goes 6-foot-4, 235 pounds could be more physically dominating in the tough spots.
Power forward Milan Michalek didn't have the breakout season that was expected, particularly when he skated alongside Thornton, but the 23-year-old has the size, speed and hands to be an impact player if he puts it all together.
Lingering sports hernia issues kept Jonathan Cheechoo in a funk until late in the season, and his 23-goal season was his lowest mark since his rookie year. With good health, a bounce back season is an entirely reasonable expectation.
Tema captain Patrick Marleau may have endured the worst of his ten NHL seasons, scoring 48 points while compiling a career-worst minus-19 rating. There didn't seem to be any obvious factors for Marleau's decline and he still has all the physical tools to be an impact player.
Devin Setoguchi played in a part-time role as a rookie, showing a streaky scoring touch. He's quite capable, with his speed, of filling a complementary scoring role when put alongside talented players.
Pulled from the brink of retirement, 38-year-old Jeremy Roenick enjoyed a renaissance in San Jose, ranking second in the league with ten game-winning goals and coming up huge in the first-round playoff win. Roenick earned another contract with his play, but he's still just a role player -- with a penchant for rising to the occasion -- at this stage of his career.
Torrey Mitchell had a very successful rookie season, playing all 82 games and using his speed very effectively in a checking role.
Veteran Mike Grier is a durable defensive winger, playing at least 78 games for the last six seasons, but he's coming off a season in which he managed just 22 points, his lowest total since 1997-1998.
Joe Pavelski took some time to get going in his second season, but he has tremendous offensive instincts and his late-season flourish provides promise for what he might be able to do next season.
A knee injury pretty much ruined the regular season for Ryane Clowe, but in the games he did play, he showed toughness and decent hands around the net, a combination that makes him a nice complementary part of the lineup.
Marcel Goc hasn't improved in three NHL seasons and it's fair to wonder if he's going to be anything more than a fourth-liner.
The Sharks have enough firepower, particularly if their young guys continue to improve (though the idea of Marian Hossa on Joe Thornton's wing is intriguing), so the needs up front are more along the lines of depth and checkers. Some players that may be of interest to bolster the checking units could include Jay Pandolfo, Michael Peca, Pascal Dupuis and Antti Miettinen.
If the Sharks want to add real bite to the lineup, Sean Avery might be an intriguing option and he'd certainly increase the level of passion.
Top Prospects: Ty Wishart, Nick Petrecki, Derek Joslin, Dan Spang
34-year-old Craig Rivet scored a career-high 35 points in 2007-2008 and his combination of skill and toughness makes him a good top four defenceman. Unfortunately, until Brian Campbell arrived, Rivet was the unit's de facto number one, and that's too much to ask from him.
The best brawler out of Sweden, Douglas Murray, improved measurably and registered an impressive plus-20 rating. Murray is strong as an ox, but his lack of mobility is an issue so it's imperative that he play to his strengths.
Injuries are taking a toll on Kyle McLaren and it's getting tough to expect more than 65 games out of him. When he does play, he provides size and a physical presence, but he's not quite the intimidating force he was earlier in his career.
Matt Carle's path to stardom was derailed by a sophomore jinx that saw him spend time in the press box as his defensive woes couldn't be overlooked considering his lack of point production. He has the wheels and puck skills to be a power play quarterback, but will have to regroup to get his career back on the right track.
21-year-old Marc-Edouard Vlasic was another young defenceman who regressed some in his second season, but he's already playing more than 21 minutes per game and should only improve with maturity.
Despite his heavy shot, Christian Ehrhoff lost some of his power play time, dropping his production, but he's still quite capable of fulfilling a top four role.
Brian Campbell was even better than advertised when he arrived in a trade from Buffalo, scoring 19 points with a plus-9 rating in 20 games, which only makes him more attractive as an unrestricted free agent. Surely the Sharks want to bring Campbell back, but he could very well want to hit the open market, where he will command top dollar.
If the Sharks can't keep Campbell, they can look to other puck-moving free agents like John-Michael Liles, Ron Hainsey and Mark Streit, while veterans like Rob Blake and Wade Redden might also be reasonable alternatives.
In an effort to bolster the blueline depth, the Sharks could also look to the likes of Dmitri Kalinin, Andreas Lilja or a veteran like Bret Hedican to bring experience.
Top Prospects: Thomas Greiss, Taylor Dakers
Coming off a season in which he played a career-high 77 games, Evgeni Nabokov has established himself as one of the game's premier goaltenders. The next hurdle for him is, like the rest of his team, to achieve more playoff success.
Brian Boucher signed on late in the year to give the Sharks a veteran backup and he played well in limited action, which could be enough for him to return.
Otherwise, the backup role could go to a prospect since the backup is likely only going to have about a half dozen starts.
DRAFTNo first-round pick
Needs: One top nine forward, depth forwards, one top pair defencemanWhat I said the Sharks needed last year: One top pair defenceman, one top six forward Who did they add? Jeremy Roenick, Torrey Mitchell

2010 Pinot Noir,
Cargasacchi Vineyard, Sta. Rita Hills
2010 Pinot Noir,
Cargasacchi-Jalama Vineyard, Santa Barbara County
2009 Invincible
Sun Cargasacchi-Jalama Vineyard, Santa Barbara County
2010 Vintage
The 2010 Vintage was punctuated by several heat spikes that began at veraison and affected fruit that was not protected directly by leaf coverage and the vine canopy. In some vines even protected fruit withered on the vine and was lost. On north-south oriented rows at flowering we typically leaf pull the morning side in order to get cooler morning sun on the grape skin, reducing green flavors and increasing skin thickness. But with the heat spike that "normal" level of leaf pulling left the fruit overly exposed in September's heat spikes. As a result, the vines received morning sun until near midday. To protect the fruit on the north south oriented rows we reacted by repositioning the upper canopy wires at the top of the trellis and pushed the wire over and behind the canes, where they exit the trellis. By leaning the canes toward the east, this created more shade on the fruit and limited the late morning sunlight from striking the fruit.
2010 followed three previous drought years with 29 inches of rainfall that was equivalent to the total for the three previous years combined. (Historic average rainfall is circa 14 inches per year.) The vines started the season with abundant moisture but ended the season with depleted soil moisture through using the cover crops and frequent high mowing before seeds formed. This kept the cover crop in a vegetative phase to evapo-transpirate water out of the soils and helped control vine vigor. The retained cover crop also helped to lower vineyard temperatures during the heat spikes by insulating the soil from absorbing solar energy, and minimized the conduction, storage and radiation of heat energy as compared to clean tilled exposed mineral soil.
2010 Cargasacchi Pinot Noir, Sta. Rita Hills
Aromatics of darker fruits in the nose with hints of lavender and sage. Flavors are full bodied and savory. First flavor impressions are of blackberry, tea leaf and cedar. The mouth feel is ripe and plush with suggestions of minerality. Tannins are soft and add a layer to the sensation of texture, finishing earthy, with chewy hints of toast and cocoa.
here for full winemaking and tasting notes.
2010 Cargasacchi-Jalama Pinot Noir, Santa Barbara County (375ml)
Visually dark, complex and brooding. First impressions in the nose are of red fruit, cinnamon and wild sage. In tasting, the flavors of red cherry, currant, blackberry and tea leaf unite in a mouth feel that shows mineral and soft tannin. The fruit character is fresh, bright and juicy. The flavors are seamless with red and dark fruit, spice; combining with tannin and mineral character to create a persistent finish. In all its opulent fruit-forward character, flavor and richness, this is a bottle that is easy to open and drink by itself. Nevertheless, the structure behind this wine will make you want to pop and pour it with a nice steak, cut of lamb and even salmon.
2009 Vintage
2009 followed two previous drought
years and was the third successive year with rainfall
that was significantly below normal. The vines started
and ended the season with depleted soil moisture. The
canopies were small and the fruit carried by the vines
was marked by much smaller than normal berry size.
The tiny clusters and small berry size produced a concentrated
and richly flavored wine with remarkable balance that
reflects both the character of the vintage and the
terroir/site expression of the vineyards. 2009 was
a great pinot noir vintage.
Invincible Sun Late Harvest Pinot Grigio,
Barbara County
The Pinot Grigio grapes for
the Invincible Sun are allowed to ripen to the
maximum attainable sweetness that the vine is
able to produce. After an additional 2-3 weeks
of hang time, the dehydrating fruit is harvested
at an extremely ripe state without botrytis and
without any mold. Only the perfect and unblemished
fruit is picked. It is picked cold, and then
pressed and fermented in neutral barrels. This
is a very bright, clean and aromatic expression
of the Pinot Grigio grape varietal, not cloyingly
sweet in the mouth, but rather possesses a firm
core of acidity that frames the ripe, appealing
flavors. Floral and fruit notes on the nose with
bright lifting aromatics of white peaches, ginger,
lavender and pie crust. Lighter bodied and not
cloying, this is a refreshing late harvest wine
with concentrated flavors that include nectarine,
pear, mango and lime. The 2009 Invincible Sun
is the ripest produced to date and along with
white fruit and citrus there are hints of baking
spice, peach pie and crème brulee.
wine is not filtered and has some sediment.
