Student mentorship alive and well in OU research labs
Dr. Amy Banes-Berceli, an OU alum and professor of biology, works with a student in her research lab.
Dr. Amy Banes-Berceli, an assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences, is researching the complex relationship of certain hormones and their molecular mechanisms to the onset of hypertension and renal and vascular complications in diabetes and hypertension. It's challenging work, but she's far from alone in tackling it.
Presently, six undergraduate, three master's and two doctoral students are assisting in the research. This academically diverse and mutually beneficial collaboration is something Dr. Banes-Berceli is not only willing to devote extra time to, but enthusiastically endorses as a means of advancing student success and broader interest in the sciences.
"This is one of the reasons I came here to Oakland – the strong emphasis we put on student research," she explained. "They're very enthusiastic. They're like big sponges, just wanting to soak up everything they can."
Through her work, Dr. Banes-Berceli has learned that inhibiting an intracellular signaling protein called JAK2 reduces hypertension and other complications tied to diabetes. The question she and her students are now hoping to answer is how and why this effect occurs. The team is in the preliminary phases of the study, but sees tremendous practical benefit to eventually understanding the science at work.
Student researchers in the lab get full exposure to the research process, from identifying critical questions and designing experiments to discussing research progress with colleagues and writing, publishing and presenting their findings.
"The whole purpose of this is to have them do the science and talk with their peers about what they're learning," Dr. Banes-Berceli said. "While we teach them every aspect of this process, we're also teaching them to think critically about other people's data so that they can begin to think critically about their own data."
While she is appreciative for the support she gets through having student researchers assist her, Dr. Banes-Berceli also garners a great deal of professional fulfillment from seeing students grow both in terms of their intellect and professional aspirations.
"Essentially, I think we're teaching them the survival skills they'll need to become successful scientists," she said. "It's very rewarding to see them get as excited as they do, and I think in the end they'll be better doctors and scientists for it."
GCSR staff striving to find the perfect balance
As the university looks to name a new Vice Provost for Research, a key criterion in candidate considerations will be the ability to effectively balance the needs of Oakland's principle investigators and the university's obligation to comply with federal regulations and granting agency guidelines.
"Trying to achieve that balance is very important for anyone in this position," said Dr. Brad Roth, interim vice provost for research. "Ultimately, our primary concern is ensuring that investigators can make the most of the grant opportunities they have."
Almost all of the university's external and all of its institutional grant funding passes through the Office of Grants, Contracts and Sponsored Research. In short, the office promotes research and scholarship by assisting university faculty in every step of the process – from identifying and pursuing available grants to ensuring successful administration of secured awards.
Kathryn Wrench, director of grant and contract administration, said she and others in the office communicate available grant opportunities on both an individual and general basis, and each month the office provides investigators with training to use grant opportunity research software. The office also works to promote broader awareness of institutional funding, including the Undergraduate Research Award offered through the Office of the Provost.
Another service GCSR offers is pre-award counseling. Assistance can be as broadly tailored as grant writing procedure and strategy, and as specifically tailored as clarifying applicable federal regulations and granting agency guidelines. The process also improves communication, which can help with pursuing support from various agencies and departments, finding evaluators and consultants, and reaching out to potential project collaborators. GCSR grant officers assist with project budgets and work to ensure that all administrative, sponsor and institutional requirements are met prior to proposal submission.
Among services GCSR provides after funding has been allocated are approvals for purchasing supplies and equipment, approval of human resource assignments, effort certification, project- and aggregate-level research reporting and official communication with federal regulators and granting agencies. With the responsibility to oversee training and compliance, officers strive to ensure that applicable requirements are met and supported throughout the project lifecycle.
Wrench said university investigators should feel free to seek assistance from the office for any aspect of their work, and above all, write grant proposals even if the effort may not be rewarded with funding in every instance.
"There's a lot of value in seeking the funding, because you get the experience. The more experience you have, the more likely it is that you'll get the grant in the future," she said. "You also build networks and gain insight you might not have otherwise. Simply going through the process is very valuable."
In a general sense, GCSR works to support investigative work by identifying resources to meet facility, equipment and other research support needs.
"Our goal is to be as responsive as we can," Dr. Roth explained. "The research we're doing here is valuable on so many levels, and it's very important that we support it in every way we're able."

OURAY COUNTY – What were you planning to do on Wednesday, Nov. 6, the day after Election Day? If you are among the hundreds of Ouray County residents who have been closely following the ongoing controversy over potential revisions to the County Land Use Code's Visual Impact Regulations, chances are you might be attending the much-anticipated continuation of a public hearing on that topic.
The continuation was initially scheduled for Tuesday this week but has been postponed until Wednesday, Nov. 6 at 6 p.m. because the minutes from August's verbal public comment portion of the hearing have taken so long to prepare; 12 hours' worth of testimony was made by dozens of county residents over three nights on Aug. 7, 8 and 13.
These comments will become part of the public record which commissioners will consider as they begin deliberating on the matter when they reconvene at the 4-H Event Center in Ridgway on Nov. 6.
Clerk of the Board Linda Munson-Haley, who is preparing the minutes in near-transcript form, told the Ouray County Commissioners this week the record of testimony should be complete in about two weeks' time, and will be made available to the public on the week of Oct. 8. Minutes will be posted on the county website and will also be available in a public binder at the Ouray County Courthouse.
When the hearing reconvenes, it will be for deliberation among the commissioners only; no further public comment will be permitted.
In Ouray County, A Milestone for Cornerstone
Representatives of the Cornerstone Colorado subdivision are closer to their goal of restructuring the way property owners there pay for maintenance and upkeep of the struggling subdivision, after the Ouray County Commissioners unanimously approved an amendment to the consolidated service plan for Cornerstone Metropolitan District Nos. 1 and 2, Counties of Ouray and Montrose on Tuesday, Sept. 24.
Cornerstone, a 6,000-acre development with a Greg Norman-designed 18-hole
golf course which straddles the county line between Ouray County and Montrose County on Horsefly Mesa, now must win approval from the Montrose County Commissioners on the same matter, with a hearing set for Oct. 7.
Cornerstone representatives seek to amend their metropolitan districts' service plan, approved by Ouray and Montrose counties in 2004, in order to impose a heftier Operations and Maintenance Mill Levy (up to 40 mils from the current 15) sufficient to support the needs of the districts, as well as to authorize the districts to provide their own covenant enforcement and design review services.
Clint Waldrin, general counsel to Cornerstone Metropolitan Districts No.'s 1 and 2, attended Tuesday's public hearing via speakerphone. Eric Weaver, manager for both of the districts, and Bill Fugazzi, a board member on both of the district boards, attended in person to make the case for Cornerstone's dual-pronged request.
Waldrin explained that the initial plan back in 2004 was for Cornerstone, and its assessed value, to grow over time. When the metropolitan districts were formed, mil levy caps were put in place to protect homeowners from this eventuality.
A mill levy is the assessed property tax rate used by local governments and other jurisdictions to raise revenue in order to cover annual expenses. It is calculated annually by dividing projected revenue needs of a taxing jurisdiction by the total value of the property within the area. The higher the assessed value of a jurisdiction, the fewer mils are necessary to raise needed revenues. The inverse is also true; when assessed values plummet, more mills are needed to raise the same amount of money.
The economic downturn and ensuing real estate crash of 2007 and 2008 hit Cornerstone particularly hard. "Instead of our assessed valuation going up exponentially, like it was supposed to, with the stall in the project (due to the economic downturn) our assessed valuation has gone from $18 million to $4 million," Waldrin said.
The subdivision's mil levy cap, meanwhile, has severely restricted Cornerstone's ability to raise sufficient funds to maintain the property; revenues for operations and maintenance at the subdivision have plunged from $270,000 to $70,000.
"It just doesn't work as a district to be able to do that," Weaver said. "Even if we were to increase the mil levy to what we are proposing (40 mils) they (Cornerstone property owners) would still see a decrease in their tax bill because the assessed valuations have come down so far. A lot that used to be valued at $400,000 is now valued at $40,000."
"The winners are the lot owners," Fugazzi clarified, "because of the massive decrease in the value of the land. The homeowners will actually see their taxes go up," if the mil levy is increased. Nevertheless, he said, property owners and homeowners alike at Cornerstone have already consented to have their mill levy raised, for the good of their community.
"At some point this whole thing will get resolved," Fugazzi said, stressing that what the subdivision really needs is flexibility to adjust its mill levy over time in order to raise the funds needed for the subdivisions's maintenance and upkeep without unduly burdening property owners once property values recover. Hopefully, he said, in future years, that will happen. "Then we can gear down and take some of the load off our owners," he said.
"So, the mil levy will fluctuate but the actual dollar amount will be somewhat static,"
Commissioner Lynn Padgett clarified. "We are allowing the ability for the metro district to get the funds that it needs, and the mil levy will be set at a level to accomplish that dollar value."
Ouray County Attorney Marti Whitmore said that the request speaks for itself. "I don't think that the county has a huge vested interest in this, one way or the other," she said. She reminded commissioners that the proposed mil levy increase is a homeowner and property owner driven request, unrelated to the group of outside investors that recently purchased the majority of Cornerstone's assets.
Padgett moved to approve Cornerstone's proposed amendment to its consolidated service plan; her motion passed unanimously.

I Love Kitty – The BEST Steak in utah, even better? the stuff thats not on the menu.
go in when there slow (not often) and ask for a deathwich, I have been in 11 countrys and over 20 US states, the deathwich is the only burger in utah that i will eat.
Well it is a interesting place to say the least. If you can get by the waiter having his shirt unbuttoned and sweating all over the place. The constant use of profanity while you wait 35 min for your food. You might enjoy this place. But when you do get your food and decide to ask for the A1 sauce DON?T DO IT?. You will be told ? try my mama?s cooking before you put sh** all over it ?
Best Steaks in the WORLD!!!! – I have been going to Kitty Pappas for YEARS and I love the place. George always keeps up the entertainment with an assortment of strange songs and his personality is awesome. The food is the best, I have been there for lunch and dinner and it is always great food and great ambiance. This is a little place that hasn't changed since it was built ( except for a small addition to the dining room) I recommend this place to anyone that loves great steak that doesn't need steak sauce.
This place is great... – The first time I came to this place I was a bit intimidated and, well, scared. But after a couple of visits and a few chats with our server (George) whose mom is the cook (Kitty), I fell in love with the place.
Salads are fresh. Steaks are delicious (and cooked how you want them cooked!). Beer is always cold. It's a really solid little place.
Also, if you're in the mood for something different, try the eggburger. Sounds a little strange, but it is quite good.
FANTASTIC STEAKS!!!!!! – The steaks are fantastic!! They're HUGE, so tender and flavorful, with accompanying great salads and potatoes, that they're indescribable! This underrated restaurant should not be missed by any SLC visitor!
Still the best steaks ever – Looks are deceiving. Pappas' Steak House in Bountiful is still the best in the State.

"I gave this to my daughter entering High School as a Freshman as a little back to school gift. I put her name and her school name on it (just the acronym due to lack of space) She loved it! I wish TinyPrints would offer more sitckers that allow this. It was hard to find the right one."
"The address labels are very nice!!! It was extremely easy to customize. I also ordered the matching invites in addition to the address labels (check out my reviews on those items). Lastly, I was due to receive my order on 3/15 but received it ALL on 3/7. Yay!!! You won't be disappointed if you go decide to order these gift tags. FYI, I needed to purchase a few more sheets of gift tags and customer service was so very accommodating and were able to add to my order since it had not gone to print. Super nice reps!!!"
"These are super cute. We are using them to stick on little treat bags for our daughter's birthday treats for her preschool class.. We had then printed to read Lily's 2nd Birthday! They are great!"
"I combined these with the matching note cards for the perfect gift for my 20-something daughter. She loved the quality and trendy colors and is excited to use them. Just right!!"
"easy...especially for someone who always forgets to buy cards! design is great for boys. i bought several different designs, but this was, by far, my favorite!"

Electronic Boogaloo1 of 11
By Andie Huber
The Consumer Electronics Show, held in Las Vegas every January, featured some 20,000 new hi-tech products, including an 85-inch TV, dancing robots and the iPotty. (We couldn't make this stuff up if we tried.) In case you missed the Coachella of the gadget world, we're counting down the ten most unexpected and over-the-top discoveries from the big event.
Couch Surfing2 of 11
TVs were, of course, huge—as in ginormous, with an 85-inch flat screen from Samsung. The TV is 4K, or ultra high-definition, offering an image so vivid and detailed that it makes regular HD look like an old boob tube, in comparison. Of course, Samsung's flat screen has a gigantic price tag to match its size: Yours for only $38,000.
Good Vibrations3 of 11
In the past, the CES and the AVN Adult Expo used to run simultaneously and it seems like Trojan has managed to combine grown-up pleasure with the digital health category by showcasing their new cross-over products, the Tri-Phoria Intimate Massager and Pulse Vibrators. At CES, 9,000 of the buzz toys were given away—gratis. In case your interest is piqued, you can now purchase these at your local CVS or on Amazon—if you aren't ready to carry the box up to the cash register.
Mr. Roboto4 of 11
Although Tosy technically unveiled its portable speaker that transforms into a dancing robot last year, the 2013 mRobo offers a slew of improvements, including pre-programmed moves from Dancing With the Stars champ Derek Hough. Shall we dance?
Composition Class5 of 11
As technology continues its march into the future, things of the past still resonate with us. Nothing complements these two concepts better than Verso's Scholar Notebook Cover. Nostalgia reigns as the classic black-and-white marbled notebook exterior coupled with the blue-and-white lined interior "paper" cleverly hides an iPad.
On Track6 of 11
Fitbit, a company that integrates fitness and technology, introduced the Flex: a colorful wristband that can go everywhere you go (even into the shower). It calculates activity level, tracks your sleep and can be used as an alarm (it buzzes gently to wake you up). But its most impressive feature? It can track your steps even if your arms aren't moving—critical for moms and dad who may be pushing strollers to stay fit.
Have a Seat7 of 11
File this under "What will they think of next?": The iPotty for iPad, which comes with a plastic sheet to protect the tablet from germs, is designed to keep your toddler entertained and make toilet training more fun. Still no word on whether an iDiaper, to keep infants entertaining while you change them, is in the works.
Mega Bites8 of 11
If you're eating fast, chances are you're overeating, which leads to weight gain. To help you slow down and enjoy your food, the Hapifork has an indicator light that goes off when you're eating at full speed. More information can be gleaned about your noshing habits via the USB within the silverware and uploaded to your computer.
Size Matters9 of 11
Phones and tablets have joined together and created an entirely new genre of technology: the phablet. Larger than a phone but smaller than a tablet, this phablet has an LCD screen, high resolution at 240 pixels per inch, fancy processors and fast battery charges. The screens of most of these bad boys are clocking in at five plus inches with Huawei's Ascend Mate leading the pack at 6.1 inches. That's a full 2.1 inches bigger than Apple's iPhone 5. Question is, will it fit in your back pocket?
Finding Mr. Right10 of 11
While it's technically not a product, we'd be remiss in not telling you that the single most notable offering at the electronics show was the excess of potential male suitors. With men easily outnumbering women 100 to 1 (possibly more), these are the kinds of odds we like in Vegas. Ka-ching!
All Ears11 of 11
The Japanese company Necomini has unveiled its cat headband with ears you can move—with your mind. Your brain's electrical impulses are picked up by the sensor's headband—the ears respond by perking up when you're concentrating or dropping down when you're relaxed. And when you're in a zone, both relaxed and focused? They wiggle.

Rafael Benitez will welcome back four players into his squad for Sunday's game against Brentford at Stamford Bridge, and promises a strong line-up as we pursue a place in the last 16 of the FA Cup.
Suspension and ineligibility meant David Luiz and Demba Ba were left behind in London for our Europa League win in Prague on Thursday night, while African champions John Mikel Obi and Victor Moses are available once more after victory with Nigeria on Sunday.
'I am really pleased because we have John Mikel Obi and Victor Moses coming back from South Africa, and they are happy and training well,' Benitez reported. 'We have another session so that won't be a problem and they will be available for Brentford.
'Obviously Demba Ba and David Luiz were not available for the Europa League, but they are fine and it's good news. Apart from Oriol Romeu everyone is fine and available.
'We will choose a strong team because we want to progress. Now players can compete for positions and it's good for us. To improve the competition between good players is good for the team.'
Benitez was particularly pleased for the Nigerian pair, who he believes will come back with added confidence after claiming a major international honour.
'It's important to have happy and confident players around, so it's good for the team that they won and they've brought that confidence and belief back with them.
'Both of them progressed as individuals through the tournament. Obi has more experience and you could expect good performances from him, but Victor was coming through and I could see he has been growing and improving,' the Spaniard said. 'I am really pleased for both of them, and to be so influential is a great achievement for Victor.'
Speaking after Thursday's narrow win, Benitez suggested we need to be more clinical in attack. Today he explained a little more behind his thinking.
'We have been practising finishing today,' he said. 'We had three or four counter-attacks where we could do better so we have to watch and practice and hopefully we will improve. Defensively a clean sheet was positive, and in attack I thought two or three chances could be different in other games.
'Brentford will try to be compact and counter-attack, and we are favourites and will try to do a professional job.
'It will be different from Thursday, where we played away against a team that liked to run between and behind defenders. Against Brentford we have to sustain attacks and get on top of them.'

I was startled by the idea that you would be showering right next to your stove, then I realised that the shower curtain concealed the laundry not the shower...
Nice, creative use of space! Great job!!
I love this! all of it :)
As a fellow-Milanese...I totally unerstand.
In milan bathrooms and kitchens are all long and narrow and "weird". It's because most pre-war flats were split in two or three ...resulting in odd shapes and strange facilities.
Milano is famous for its little kitchens. Many times its also directly in the living room ;) You could see some interesting apartments, also if you don't want to rent them, just to see how they are really, thanks to the 360 degree photos: http://rentalmilan.com/

5 Seeds to Plant Now For Gorgeous Plants Next Year
The Gardenist
Briza Media - Perennial Quaking Grass - This is a great plant in the garden as well as for cut flowers. The pretty seed heads of this grass rattle in the slightest breeze.
Pimpinella major 'Rosea' - Greater Burnet - If you love the romantic country look of Queen Anne's Lace, you will likely enjoy Pimpinella as well. Instead of white, these flowers are pretty shades of pink
Zizia aptera - Heartleaf Golden Alexander is a native plant that grows naturally throughout much of the US (excluding the extreme south and southwest). Stems with yellow flowers rise above heathly green leaves.
Allium obliquum - Twisted leaf garlic - White flower balls top 12 – 15 in stems. These can be grown from seed as well as propagated by bulbs. The seed needs time to germinate in warm soil (now), then a cold period, and will grow next year.
Deschampsia flexuosa - Wavy Hairgrass is also a native grass, and it thrives in dry shade. It is not too tall (topping out at 18") and it is quite elegant.
(Image: Briza Media and Pimpinella major from Plant World Seeds. Zizia aptera from Prairie Moon Nursery. Allium obliquum image from Eden Brothers (where you can buy bulbs for this plant as well). Dechampsia flexuosa image from North Creek Nurseries)
3 Comments
I just got a bunch of seeds from Prairie Moon Nursery which I'll be sowing in a couple of weeks. Also, my rattlesnake masters from this year produce a huge amount, so I've collected them to share and also reseed in my own garden in some other spots.
Also, don't forget milkweed, both common and 'Butterfly Weed' asclepias tuberosa. Pods can be harvested and direct sewn now. Both plants are essential to the Monarch Butterfly population.
Last year, I left leek seeds out in the garden in the fall and by the end of spring I had huge leeks everywhere. Leeks take so long to mature, so starting out the growing season with huge, delicious leeks was amazing. I had never grown them before so discovering these tall, alien-like stalks was a little scary, but totally worth it!

555 E Basse Rd, San Antonio, TX | Directions 7820929.498920 -98.475182
Monday To Saturday From 11:00 AM To 11:00 PM Sunday From 11:00 AM To 10:00 PM
NEVER AGAIN!!!!! – Me and my girlfriend have been together for 7 years. But on our 6th year anniversary we decided to be brave and try something different. Well we heard of this "great" Italian restaurant called Paesano's on 555 E Basse Rd . So we went out of our way to make a hotel reservation near by so it would be convenient for us. We get all dressed up and take a taxi there cos we figured we would be having a blast and having some drinks. I had made reservation there as well so we wouldn't have to wait long. We get there all excited and of course as we suspected there people crowding the door and even people outside. We walk in and see a male hostess looking right at us and then look away. I didn't think nothing of it til people after us came in and he greeted them. Again I just thought it was me , then again more and more people came in and he greeted them as well. He would go up to them and ask them their name and how many. Why didn't he ask us? Cos we are two girls or cos we are not of same race or cos we didn't look like we owned a yacht? I finally went up to him and told him of our reservation and said there was 4 people ahead of us and finally took our names down. About an hour and 20 mins we get seated. So what was the point of the reservation? We get a waiter who looks like we are wasting his time. He takes our order and then walks off and starts smiling and talking to another couple. Guess we weren't good enough for his time. Then he brings us some weird looking olives. All shapes and sizes and colors. I don't know if thats what they serve in these stuck up fancy restaurants but is was gross. They give us our plates like an hour later and it looked like a child's plate. For the price I was expecting a lil more. The food was really bland and not worth the price. Our waiter rarely came to the table and when he did , he made it short and to the point and wouldn't give me time to ask for anything. We just ate and left. It was such a disappointment and a waste of a great 6th year anniversary dinner. I am never ever going to this place again. If i had the choice of putting no stars I would. They need to learn to treat their customers better and treat everyone equally! No matter race, gender, or sexual preference!
You'll regret this dining experience – We were looking forward to our dinner at Paesanos at the Lincoln Height location on Saturday July 18 at 8:00 to celebrate two birthdays in our party of four. Whenever we are in San Antonio, we visit Paesanos and have been eating there since the 80s. The hostess and seating staff were very welcoming and friendly and we had no problem getting a table. Unfortunately, as our meal progressed, we understood why the restaurant was only ¾ full on a Saturday night.
Out lacksidasical waiter seemed less than thrilled to be there, much less wait on us. Two of us ordered a glass of wine and the other two ordered fountain drinks. He came back with only one glass of wine and one drink. We knew he had forgotten the other two drinks, but he blamed it one the "fountain drink dispenser being broken". Hmm, doesn't explain how he forgot the second glass of wine, but he returned later with the forgotten fountain drink and still no second glass of wine. "What type of wine did you order?" he asked again and I told him a third time. Here is the kicker, he finally brought my glass of wine midway through my dinner and wasn't the Zinfandel I ordered, it was a glass of Chianti! But I was so grateful that he finally remembered to bring me any glass of wine that I didn't tell him his mistake. Before we ordered, one person in our party asked the waiter to please repeat the specials and he rolled his eyes and reluctantly recited them again. The waiter brought over some great garlic bread, but soon picked up the plate and one person in our party never sampled any. If had been more available, I would have asked for another knife because I mine had dried food stuck to the handle. He must have had someplace more important to be because he quickly brought over our check and half heartedly added, "Do you want coffee or anything else?"
I can forgive any restaurant for bad service, however, the food has also was as uninspiring as our waiter. The lonely salad that arrived at our table had only pieces of cut iceberg lettuce with an unoriginal mix of vinegar and oil as dressing, no tomatoes, no carrots, just lettuce on a plate. The side pasta dish that accompanied our meal was only spaghetti and butter, bland enough to be served in any hospital or geriatric living facility. The chicken parmigiana and the chicken w/lemon and capers were adequate but not superior to any similar dish I have had at an Italian food restaurant chain, such as Carrabbas, Buco di Beppo or even Olive Garden. One of us ordered the fettuccini alfredo with sea food, it was a dish we all sampled and stood out as being an exceptional choice, the seafood: shrimp, clams and scallops (ordered without the mussels) were fresh and plentiful. The alfredo sauce was rich and creamy.
However, one great dish doesn't make a restaurant and Paesanos has coasted so far on its past reputation and tradition of exquisite, fine Italian food. Overall, the food is bland, the wait staff is more interested in gathering in the corners to gossip and the manager or owner that was present was too busy promenading through the restaurant rather than doing some quality assurance visits with customers.
I regret suggesting this restaurant to our friends for our dinner, as there are other quality Italian food places in San Antonio. I will give those others a try and strongly encourage others to avoid this establishment.
Very impressed – I absolutely love this place. Great service, food, and ambiance. This is perfect for special occasions, night out in the town, or a romantic evening. I Highly recommend this place. You have to try their calamari! it's these huge steak calamari, order the half size if you have 1-3 people with you because it's a big portion. Very very good, there's nothing more to say but that you have to try it. It's one of my top picks for San Antonio.
Avoid this place!!! – THIS IS PROBABLY THE WORST RESTAURANT I HAVE EVER BEEN TO IN MY LIFE!!! And San Antonio has a very limited selection of decent restaurants, but this place was the absolute worst. I have eaten at money fine dining restaurants in my life and around the world as well, and let me tell you Paesano's doesn't even deserve one star. If I could, I would give it negative 10 stars. I actually had to make two visits to Paesano's during the past week because of business--one visit to the Lincoln Heights location and one to the 1604 location. Both experiences were HORRIBLE. On my first visit, I had the soup of the day. It was sooooo salty and had such a weird taste, I sent it back and they brought me a bisque instead. This time the soup was only lukewarm and was extremely fishy smelling. For dinner, I had the mushroom ravioli. The mushrooms were well past their prime and very strong tasting, plus the sauce was very bland. I only ate a few bites because I couldn't stand to eat anymore. The waiter packed the food to go but I smelled the leftovers the next day and just tossed it in the trash.
On my next visit, I ordered a dish with shrimp and scallops. The smell was so overpowering I couldn't even eat it. The shrimp were overcooked and the scallops were old because they smelled way too fishy. I honestly felt nauseous and had to have the waiter take the dish away. Thank goodness I didn't have to pay for either meal!!!
I really wanted to like this place but it will never happen. I will never return to Paesano's again!!! SAVE YOUR HARD-EARNED MONEY AND AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!
Highly overrated – Paesanos signature dish is terrible, it was tasteless and oily. Seems like the chef might have over cooked the sauce to were the butter seperated into oil making the dish greasy. The pasta too was oily and overcooked. The service was bad and the hostess was rude. The hostess ignored you until she was ready, she was not friendly...not a great way to begin. The waitstaff was slow and pushy about what they want you to order. They didn't seem to care. If the food was good, I might be able to overlook it. But everything was bad bad bad...service and food. This place is overpriced and overrated. Couldn't wait to leave. So if you want poor service, bland boring food and a empty wallet: come here. Nothing special about this place.
YUCKO – My husband and I went for our anniversary. I had the signature dish, shrimp paesano. YUCK. No flavor what so ever. If you are going to have a dish named after your restaurant you need to make sure it is good. We had the calamari. YUCK. The calamari was way to thick. It was like eating a squid steak. In my mind calamari should be delicate. My husband had the Osso Bucco. This was very good. The waiter was horrible. Like because we were just two we were an after thought. Needless to say, we will never go again.
Delicious – This Paesano's definately tops my list of the best places to eat in San Antonio. The Shrimp Paesano, the Orange Roughy and the Smoked Salmon are to die for! The bread you are served before your meal is fabulous, too! The place is decorated very nicely, it is dimly lit and very romantic. The only drawback is the service is pretty bad sometimes, especially the hostesses! They are always very rude!
Yumm O! – We went there on our 32nd anniversary. The place was packed but we were seated immediately. Our server suggested popcorn shrimp for an appetizer. Was not on the menu. Not a big popcorn shrimp fan but this was heavenly. Light batter over tender shrimp with a fantastic dipping sauce. Might have been what they use on calamari. I ordered Shrimp Paesano and my husband had the tenderloin. Everything was absolutely wonderful and very flavorful. My dessert was a apple torte with caramel topping and my husband had the chocolate banana bread pudding. I don't know which was the best. Both were excellent. Our server was very helpful with off the menu items like the appetizers and desserts. We enjoyed everything immensely. Yes it was loud but we came for the food, not the conversation!
It was all average – Heading into alamo heights area I was told about this local italian restaurant that I should venture out to. The restaurant was a little too warehouse like with the restaurant a large square with all the table piled into the middle. The food was average(I had the Osso buco, she had the Shrimp paesano's) but the service was definitly below average. I have not been to a place where the waitstaff seems less interested that I was there to dine. Having worked in a good italian restaurant , I expected much more.
Giant Calamari Attack!! – Don't even think about this place. The appetizer, giant calamari, was big on quantity and that's about it. The flavor haunted us all afternoon. The pizza was dreadful--from thick doughy crust to commercial pizza sauce it made us wish we had stayed home and heated up a frozen pizza--that would have been so much better.
This place is about as Italian as McDonald's. Actually--McDonald's would have been more satisfying (and better priced).
Do yourself a favor--if in need of a pizza--go to the Frozen Pizza Aisle and get a California Kitchen Sicilian--you'll be happier & so will your wallet.
As far as the Calamari (1/2" thick) be afraid--be very afraid!

Pros: SOOTHING, wonderful
Cons: not for longer-term use
My midwife sold me a pair of these when I was struggling with my tongue-tied baby, and ohmigosh they were heavenly! Seriously, the soothing comfort was beyond compare. You just wet them down a little bit and put them on, and they are cool and moist and feel wonderful on cracked, irritated skin in between nursing sessions. They worked so well that I went out and bought several more to get me through the next week!

Anyone? Thanks!
Hello. I've received much help on this forum and hoping to again.
We are moving our laundry area and plan to have front loaders under a countertop. I'm starting fresh with the plumbing. What are my restrictions or best practices for having the drain and hookups behind the unit and under the countertops. Certainly a pain from a service point of view but I don't see how I can have the hookups above the countertops without it looking hackish.
Also, this laundry is in a seperate area of the home. Is it possible to have the venting on an AAV and if so does it have to penetrate into the attic or can it be buried in the wall? I'm assuming it has to be in the attic.
Finally, is there a need for hammer arresters with pex?
Thanks much!
If you must use an AAV, it must be in an accessible space where the flow of air is not inhibited, and so that it can be easily replaced when needed. If you intend to put it in the wall, putting a return air vent grille over it would suffice.
The shutoff valves for a washing machine should be turned off when the washer is not in use. If you plan on hiding them behind the machine under a countertop, you should install an electric shutoff valve so that the washer hoses are only pressurized when the washer is on.
Thanks! I'll run the AAV into the attic. I just had a metal roof put on and don't want to make any more penetrations.
After thinking on it there are couple ways to make it easier to access the supply shut-offs. One is to build some small cabinetry on top of the countertop that hide the laundry box as well as provide storage for supplies. The other is to make a nice cut to notch the back of the countertop (wood) and remove that piece whenever needed to access the laundry box right below.
I'm planning on putting the p-trap just above the bottom plate and the top of the drain line will be about 30" off the floor. Is this enough drop?
Got it. My wife and I discussed and she wants a slide out storage drawer thingy under the countertop so I'll just install the plumbing behind that so if quick access is needed it will just be pulled out.

Based on the sports Buell 1125R, the 1125CR is essentially a naked version of the same bike. As it comes it has one-piece handlebars to mimic clip-ons, but the pay-extra upright bars make more sense to ride with – far more comfortable, fits the naked bill. It has the Buell 1125R's full-fat 146bhp engine and, despite its unusual looks, the ...
1125cc, 146bhp, 170mph, Insurance group 15
The Buell 1125R is vastly improved in the six months since its launch in late 2007 but, make no mistake, it is not Japanese or Italian standard in any one area of the bike. The engine is a 131bhp Rotax V-twin that delivers solid punches. But vibration can be an issue, depending on what uprated ECU setting is installed – ...

Oxford United Youth dump Swans out of cup
11:30pm Tuesday 17th December 2013 in Headlines
OXFORD United Under 18s pulled off one of their finest results by winning 3-1 away to Swansea City in last night's FA Youth Cup third-round tie at Llanelli FC.
And they did it the hard way after going behind and having goalkeeper Barney Martin stretchered off after an accidental collision in the very first minute.
He was replaced by Rory Golden and Chris Allen's side roared back with a Josh Ashby penalty and goals from Jamie Calvin and Robbie Cundy.
Kyle Copp put Swansea ahead from a free-kick, Ashby levelling from the spot after James Roberts was upended.
Calvin added No 2 in first-half stoppage time and the Swans were then reduced to ten men when Keston Davies received his second yellow.
Cundy's powerful header sealed a home tie against Cardiff City in the next round.
Oxford United: Martin (Golden), Clarke, F Grant, Ashby, Cundy, McCormack, Hackett, George, Roberts, Calvin (Jeacock 89), Humphreys. Subs not used: Conte, Humphries, Welch-Hayes.

How do I obtain a VISA after being admitted to Berry College?
Once an international applicant is admitted to Berry and pays the enrollment deposit of $250.00 U.S., they will be sent an I-20 form. The applicant then will be able to pay the SEVIS I-901 fee (please visit the US Department of Homeland Security website) and set a visa interview appointment with the nearest US consulate or embassy. We highly recommend that you carry your I-20, SEVIS I-901 fee receipt and proof of your finances (bank statements or scholarship letters), along with the rest of required documentation to your embassy or consulate appointment.
Where do I fly in to the United States and when do I need to arrive?
Plane tickets should be purchased with Atlanta Georgia Hartsfield International Airport as the destination. All international students should plan to arrive on campus the day before International Student Orientation begins.
What is International Orientation?
International Orientation for students beginning in Fall 2014 will be announced later in the year. This program is intended to give international students important information regarding campus life, classes, the work program, etc. that will help them acclimate to both Berry and the United States.
Do I have to attend an International Student Orientation?
Yes, International Student Orientation helps students with their transition to Berry College and newly admitted international students are required to attend at the beginning of their first academic term.
Is there an international student advisor at Berry College?
Yes, the Director of Multicultural and International Student Programs is the international student advisor. Currently, Dr. Tasha C. Toy is the international student advisor at Berry College and can be contacted at 706.368.6985 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Do I need health insurance?
Yes, all international students are required to have health insurance. A list will be provided by your international student advisor. Health insurance has to be secured prior to departing from your home country.
Do I need to submit an immunization record?
Yes, all students must submit an immunization record. Additional information about shots, tests, and other required documents are available on the Berry College Health & Wellness Page.
Can international students work on campus?
International students can work on campus as long as they have an F-1 VISA upon entering the institution.
What is Berry's Work Program?
Berry College's Work Experience Program is like no other in the country. All students, regardless of family income, are guaranteed on-campus jobs every semester. Most students choose to take advantage of this unique opportunity; more than 95 percent work at some time during their four years with more than 85 percent working during any given year.
Berry's emphasis on meaningful work originates from its earliest days when students were required to work in order to attend school. While the work requirement disappeared in the 1960s, the college continues to provide unparalleled opportunities for learning through the Work Experience Program. Berry's work supervisors, all members of the faculty or staff, guide, train and mentor students, challenging them with increasingly complex projects and assignments.
An important aspect of the Work Experience Program is that students will first work in an entry level position and then have the opportunity to accept increasing responsibility and, as a result, increasing pay. Many students ultimately end up serving as supervisors and trainers and mentors to other students.
