I PREDICT an awsome ride!
by A happy camper burning the midnight hour IN MY SUV from Delano, CA | May 11, 2013
Just got my hands on one. Glad I did! This unbelievable little known model of a vehicle in my biased opinion (as I barely recently purcha$ed it) is to a lover of all forms of driving a car that can and will get you and your passengers there. The rest isnt your vehicles problem let alone SUZUKI's. I'm sure my driving experience will be something and I cannot express how AWSOME it will be! Its like past midnight so gotta get some sleep so like goodnight everybody!

Good all around bad road performance
by Jungle Guy from Rivas, Nicaragua | October 5, 2011
I bought a used 2001 Gran Vatara in 2005 and had it shipped to Nicaragua where I have driven it for the past 45,000 miles. I live at the ocean and to get here one has to take bad roads frequently crossing rivers filled with mud and water. I wanted a car that was a sticky on slippery surfaces, a good performer on the horrible scrabble roads yet was a smooth highway ride. I wanted a mini-SUV that did not draw attention, was easy to manuveur in crazy city traffic, and dart in and out of truck traffic on the Pan American. It does all this well.

I want to thank the dealership for their advice and excellent customer service rendered to me when choosing this car. I would definitely refer you all to this dealer.

Best SUV I've owned
by Grand Vitara Lady from Santa Rosa, CA | April 22, 2008
I love my Grand Vitara. I bought it used 5 years ago and have only had to replace the starter. It stood up great to a big pick-up truck that rearended and sideswiped me. The tires never left the highway, I never lost control. The auto body guy was very impressed and said it's built like a little tank. It's easy to get in and out and I could go on. They are great vehicles.

My First Little Suv
by Suv Fanatic from Montreal, Ca | January 8, 2007
For my first suv, I have bought a suzuki grand vitara which looked interessting to me. This suv may look small from the outside, but inside is pretty roomy for the legs, except for the back seats which are comfortable but tight. The "real" 4 wheel drive system is excellent even in the toughest situations, which I have driven in with my suzuki with no problem. The reliability is fair since I had many problems with mine. The confort isnt the best in its category since the vehicule is intended for offroad use. The value for the money is the best I have seen in this category with almost no options at all. This suv also handles very well and could turn on a penny. Apart from all these negative comments I have had with my Suzuki, this vehicule has alot of potential, and for offroad fans who also spend time in urban cities, yes this is the car for you.

Jenee' Ryan shows us a way you can enjoy these delightful dusks while supporting local theatre and building your child's confidence.
In the summer sun, most tomatoes grow and ripen, but in Moscow there's one that dances and sings.
Friday night the Idaho Repertory Theatre presented their first showing of "Tomato Plant Girl" at the Hartung Outdoor Theatre on the University of Idaho campus.
Director Travis Gray said he chose to hold the play outside during the summer months to give families an excuse to get outdoors, and possibly even enjoy a picnic.
"It's got a lot of heart, the actors really found the humanity in their characters," said Gray. "And its such a fun cute little story, and I think young and old will really enjoy it."
Even though it's a comedy, the play communicates many empowering messages to its young audience. The most important one? To be yourself.
"It's about learning to have confidence in yourself, and even if you're a little different from other people, just being able to embrace that, and not letting people treat you badly because of it," said costume designer Liz Karst.
If you plan on going, be ready to do more than sit and watch. The show is extremely interactive. The actors regularly talk with the audience members and even join their picnics.
"I was hoping, I'm really hoping for audience participation in the show and they totally did," said Gray. "They got into it and had a good time."
"Tomato Plant Girl" performances will be held at the Hartung Outdoor Theatre on the U of I campus at 7pm each Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening at 7:00 p.m. through August second. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for kids.

Fresh Start Power Omelette
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 10 mins
Copied this from the Florida's Natural Orange Juice website. This recipe was featured recently in one of their e-mail newsletters. Copied it to 'Zaar to share and for safekeeping. I did have to reword the original recipe a bit in order to conform to 'Zaar, however, it's pretty much the same as on the originating website. The Florida's Natural website describes this recipe: "Here's a healthy omelet recipe to start your day right." I have not tried this yet, but it sounds delicious and healthy. Prep and cook times are a guess, but the website indicated this recipe serves 2. If you get to try it, please let me know how it turns out.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 slices turkey bacon, chopped (or 1/4 cup diced lean ham)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons orange juice (Florida's Natural Brand Premium Orange Juice)
- 1⁄4 cup spinach, fresh and chopped
- 1⁄4 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1 ounce low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
- salt and pepper
- Cook turkey bacon in skillet; add spinach and red bell pepper and sauté for one minute.
- Combine eggs and orange juice, mix until smooth, and then add to skillet.
- Cover and cook on low until omelet is firm.
- Sprinkle cheese on omelet, gently fold omelet in half, and cook for an additional 30 seconds to melt cheese. Serves two.
- To maximize the brainpower value of this omelet, serve it with a piece of whole-wheat toast with raspberry jam and a glass of Florida's Natural Brand Premium Orange Juice.
Most Helpful
Yummmmm. This omelet came out very moist & fluffy. I was concerned the oj would overpower the eggs so I added 1 Tbsp of yogurt also. I used Egg Beaters & increased the turkey bacon abit. Fabulous flavour, thanks for sharing.
Yummy breakfast! I usually have cereal or a smoothie, so this was a treat for me this morning. I used Egg Beaters in place of the eggs. I could see adding in some onion next time, too. Thanks for the great breakfast recipe, blancpage! I need to treat myself more often. :D

Cuban-born trumpet sensation Arturo Sandoval will perform June 29 at the Ann Arbor Summer Festival. In a phone interview with Mackinac Center Science Editor Bruce Edward Walker, Sandoval discusses his experience with artistic censorship, his views on Cuba's health care system and his thoughts on what American citizenship means to someone who has experienced government oppression firsthand.
Since defecting to the United States in 1990, Sandoval has recorded many albums, including his most recent, the 2007 release "Rumba Palace," on the Telarc label. He has won four GRAMMY awards, six Billboard Awards and an Emmy Award. Rumba Palace also is the name of Sandoval's second music club, in South Beach, Fla., which opened in February. He opened his first club, the Arturo Sandoval Jazz Club, last year in Miami Beach.
In this interview, Sandoval expresses the same passion for liberty that he brings to his music.

- Oregon State defeated Washington for the fourth consecutive time, the first
time OSU has accomplished the feat in their 92 game history.
- The Beavers and Dawgs have split the last 10 matchups.
Offense Notes:
- The offense generated 328 total yards of offense, 219 on the ground and
109 through the air while picking up 13 first downs via rushing and four via
the pass.
- The running game averaged 4.0 yards per attempt while the passing game averaged
10.9 yards per completion.
- The offense held the ball for 11:02 in the fourth quarter.
- The offense converted 4 of 15 on third downs and scored on 4 of 5 redzone
- After giving up nine sacks last week against USC, the offensive line yielded
three against UW.
- QB Lyle Moevao turned in a decent performance in his first career start
completing 10 of 22 for 109 yards and one touchdown. But he did throw an interception
and fumbled the ball away.
He did a good job of getting the play called with plenty of time left on the play clock, an issue he had earlier in the season.
Moevao displayed his mobility as he four times for 20 yards, including a 14-yard draw which resulted in a first down.
In one of the better blocks this year, Moevao absolutely leveled a UW defensive end on an end around as he sent the big man on his back to the delight of the crowd. His hit made ESPN's top plays of the night.
- After missing the USC game with a shoulder injury, RB Yvenson Bernard returned
in fine form carrying the ball a season high 36 times for a season high 149
yards. He averaged 4.1 yards per carry.
Bernard had carried the ball 197 times without a fumble, and it should have been 198, but the Pac-10 referees blew a call late in the fourth quarter as he lunged for a touchdown.
His knee was down and the ground caused the fumble; it also could have been a touchdown, but the refs ruled it a fumble as a Husky recovered the ball taking it to the WASH38 yard line.
Bernard was the team's leading receiver with three catches for 26 yards. He now has 3,611 career rushing yards, moving him into 11th place on the Pac-10 list Steven Jackson (3,625).
- WR James Rodgers continued picking up first downs as he ran eight times
for 85 yards, breaking of runs of 27 and 21 yards in the second half, while
averaging 10.6 yards per carry.
- WR Darrell Catchings had two catches for 15 yards, including a 16-yard snatch
where he slipped on turf onto his rear, but managed to knock the ball down
and secure it.
- WR Chris Johnson had his longest reception of the year as he grabbed a 35
yard bomb from Moevao in the second quarter to help setup a field goal.
- FB Andy Stewart recorded his third touchdown this season. He caught his
first career touchdown as he contorted his body and got his hands under an
under thrown ball.
Stewart now has three touchdowns on the year, good for second on the team.
Defense Notes:
- The defensive gave up 248 total yards, 85 yards on the ground and 249 through
the air. The Huskies averaged 2.7 yards per rush and 15.6 yards per completion.
- 184 of the passing yards came in the fourth quarter fueled by 41 and 86
yard gains that had the secondary coach Nigel Burton going crazy as the Beavers
had a two score lead at the time.
- UW converted just 1 of 14 third down opportunities. This is the second time
this year the defense has limited an opponent to just one third down conversion,
the other was Stanford who converted 1 of 13 opportunities.
- LB Derrick Doggett led the team in tackles for the second straight week
as he finished with 9 stops, including two tackles for loss.
Doggett also almost took a fumble in for a touchdown as he scooped the ball up near the Beaver sidelines, sidestepped a couple of defenders and reversed the field before Louis Rankin ran him out of bounds inside the 10-yard line.
- CB Tim Clark received the start over Keenan Lewis as he grabbed a season
high seven tackles to go a long with a game high three pass breakups.
Clark almost had two interceptions that would have resulted in six. Both times he broke on a pass only to have the ball deflect off of his hands.
- CB Keenan Lewis played sparingly as he was cramping up.
- SS Daniel Drayton reagravatted a groin injury. He is not expected to miss
any time although Bryan Payton, if not suspended by the Pac-10, will probably
receive more reps.
- DE Jeff Van Orsow had one of his better games this year tallying a season
high six tackles and one forced fumble.
- DE Victor Butler received his first career start as he replaced the injured
Dorian Smith in the lineup. Butler was a menace grabbing four tackles, including
two sacks.
Butler leads the team with nine sacks.
- DE Slade Norris wreaked havoc in the Purple and Gold backfield as well grabbing
two sacks giving him eight this year, good for second on the team.
- FS Bryan Payton was having a solid game before being ejected in the second
quarter for throwing a punch. He finished with three tackles and two pass
- LB Dwight Roberson had a standout day on special teams recording three tackles
including one big hit on a kickoff return.
- LB Keith Pankey received some playing time at linebacker. He had one tackle.
Special Teams Notes:
- PK Alexis Serna continued his excellence against the Huskies connecting
on all five field goal attempts (51, 34, 43, 30, 28). Serna finishes his career
against the Huskies a perfect 18 of 19. Sernamatic!
Serna moved into sixth place on the Pac-10 career scoring list with 362 points.
- P Alexis Serna averaged 37.3 yards per punt with a long of 51.
- KR Gerard Lawson returned five kickoffs for a 27.5 average. Lawson also
blocked his first punt of the game as he got his hand on a punt in the second
- LB Dennis Christopher scored his first career touchdown as he recovered
Lawson's punt block taking the ball in from 7 yards out as he leaped high
into the endzone for six.
It was the Beavers first blocked punt since Derrick Doggett accomplished the feat in 2005 against Oregon in the Civil War.
Miscellaneous Notes:
This is the first time the Beavers were on the negative side of the turnover battle and won. OSU had one interception and lost two fumbles, while UW lost one fumble.
- Oregon State was flagged a season high 10 times for 82 yards. Three players,
Bryan Payton and James Dockery were ejected for throwing punches; Brandon Hughes was in the middle of the fray. UW player Ryan Tolar was also ejected.
- It was senior night and the 23 seniors that played their last game in Reser
Stadium has never lost to the Huskies.
- Oregon State led 16-0 at halftime.
- Former Beaver safety Sabby Piscitelli was on the sideline for the game.
- The Beaver victory makes OSU bowl eligible and guarantees at least a .500
record. The Husky loss knocks them out of postseason contention.
- Deja-vu - Last year the Beavers knocked quarterback Isaiah Stanback out
of the game, this year they knocked out Jake Locker.
Locker was scrambling near the sideline and decided to try and pick up extra yards instead of going out of bounds. S Al Afalava came flying in and hit him on the helmet.
Locker's face mask was cut off as an ambulance came on the field whisking him off to Good Samaritan Hospital. Locker returned later in the game with a neck brace and earned a standing ovation from the OSU crowd.
Key Quotes:
- Head coach Mike Riley - "I'm very excited about
the win. This was a big win for our team. There were a million things that
went on in that game. However it came out, we won. I'm proud of that."
On the penalties - "I don't think that our reaction to whatever was going on was good, and we'll take care of that. That's already been addressed, and that will be addressed again. Because those kind of penalties could have cost us that game and probably played a big part why it got to where it was in the end."
On the "fumble" - "It was a touchdown When the ball crosses the goal line, it's usually a touchdown. Every play in college football is reviewed, and then the review judge decides whether he's going to buzz down to the referee. You can call timeout and ask for a review, but your chances of doing that aren't usually very good, because the guy upstairs is supposed to be reviewing it. You're asking for a review of a play he didn't think was worth reviewing."
On Moevao's play - "He's tough, competitive and he can block, I'll tell you that. He made some good throws. The throws he was asked to make, he threw some good ones. Overall, I was really proud of him. There's a lot of respect for Lyle on this team."
On Bernard's play - "Outstanding. You just saw what Yv is made of. Wednesday, Thursday, he couldn't lift his arm in the air. Pretty amazing."
- QB Lyle Moevao - "It's a win, that's
the main thing. I thought I played pretty good. Coaches were stressing management
of the game. My reads were pretty good today, but it took a little getting
used to game-time speed again. It's been awhile."
On being bowl eligible - "I forgot we were playing for bowl eligibility until Coach Riley mentioned it afterward. This was really important, especially for our seniors, playing their last game at Reser Stadium. I feel like I'm giving them back something since they've done everything for this program the last couple of years."
On the game's ending - "It's never fun being in a situation where you're biting your nails on the sidelines, but I knew our defense has done a great job the whole season. There wasn't really too much to worry about."
On his block - "To tell you the truth, I kind of want to do it again. I was hoping we'd call it again later in the game. It's just fun, being able to have that feeling again of hitting somebody. I haven't had that since high school. It was fun, brought back memories."
- PK Alexis Serna - On playing against UW -
"I get into a groove every single time we play the Huskies. I called
my kicking coach this week to tell him I'm starting to feel comfortable
again. It just happens to always happen late in the year when we're
going up against U-Dub. It's kind of ironic, but it's been fun."
On his last game in Reser - "It's fun to go out like that. Coach Riley and the staff have done an awesome job, and the team is just amazing. We fight back through adversity."
- LB Derrick Doggett - On his fumble return - "The
ball just popped right into my arms. I was just running around, trying to
- S Al Afalava - On his hit on Jake Locker -
"I was pursuing to the ball and I thought he was going to go out of bounds.
He cut in, and I was like, all right. So I put my helmet right into his helmet.
I prayed for him, and I'm glad he's all right. That's a
good thing."

Our family (couple and 3 adult children) stayed at Sorrento Babyluna for 3 nights in April this year.
All communication with Antonella was very friendly and prompt. She advised us on transport, which we appreciated. It was much cheaper for 5 adults to fly with Easyjet from Venice than train and was a quick, hassle-free journey. (As were all 4 of our Easyjet flights in 5 weeks).
There is a shuttle bus that leaves from Naples airport and takes you straight to Sorrento (http://www.curreriviaggi.it/) which would have been excellent, but didn't work with our arrival time, so we opted to catch the public bus outside the airport to the train station in Naples and the Circumvesuviana train to Sorrento. (Lonely Planet describes Naples as a "raucous hell-broth of a city" (among other things) and our brief transit through there made us very glad we decided to base ourselves in Sorrento instead.
Like others, we had a bit of difficulty finding the building (walking in the opposite direction from the train station to begin with). There are no signs, just a small label on a buzzer at the entrance to a large apartment block. Antonella met us there and is a very friendly, professional and welcoming person.
We were more than impressed with the spaciousness and quality of the apartment. Very stylish! It is on a busy, noisy intersection, but the windows fully muffled the noise and we all slept well. The internet is temperamental. Fully equipped kitchen which I was looking forward to using, but unfortunately all the supermarkets shut for Easter as we waited for Antonella to arrive, and didn't re-open until the morning we left! Really, food was the biggest problem for our time there (cake, juices and jams etc are supplied, but strapping young men (and me to be honest) do need a decent breakfast to start a busy day of exploring. We never quite got used to the volume of cakes/pastries in Italy :-) All of this wouldn't have been an issue if we could have gone to a supermarket of course. There is one directly opposite. Not a major in the scheme of things. There is a laundromat a few minutes away opposite but on the same road.
We ate at Il Leone Rosso the first night (at Antonella's recommendation) and had a fabulous meal and hospitality there. It was packed to the rafters so we had to sit in the outside conservatory but this was fine.
Sorrento is a beautiful town with a stunning coastline, interesting lanes to explore and a decent enough main street to cater for some retail therapy. It is such a good base to take the Circumvesuviana to Pompeii (a MUST visit) and the bus along the coast to Positano and Amalfi etc.(breath-taking - often quite literally for a nervous traveller like me, standing at the back on the right side of the bus!) Quite clearly the home of Limoncello and this is to be found in abundance there.
Highly recommend staying at the Babyluna. It is excellent value for money and we would definitely stay there again.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- A nice and fashion corner in the marvelous context of Sorrento: The B&B Sorrento Babyluna is in the main center of the city! All the rooms are new in the structure and in the furnishings; bath with shower and Hairdryer is inside or beside the room. All the rooms have kitchen corner, air conditioned and TV color. ... more less

Delta Diary: It's the new day that counts
The new year is about to begin, and I am surprisingly unmoved.
This year hasn't been the best of years for our family. We lost my father-in-law, which has kind of thrown everyone off and strained my husband's already-full schedule. I went back to work, which is a good thing in itself but which has kept me from being able to relieve my husband of any of his responsibilities.
On the other hand, I went back to work, which is a good thing. I enjoy working in a school, even though there can be serious pressures in being responsible for other people's children. Spending most of your time with teenagers can be very tiring, but it also keeps you in touch with the world. There is no group of people more in touch with the world than high school students.

This present invention relates to a new method to prepare and sterilize human skin allografts for use as biological dressings. This method has applications in wound and burn therapy.
By way of background, allograft skin has been shown to provide an excellent temporary skin coverage for burn patients, acting as a biological dressing. Allograft skin protects the wound from desiccation, contamination, and decreases wound pain. When allograft skin shows general adherence to a burn wound and evidence of graft vascularization within 48 to 72 hours of application, one can anticipate an excellent take of autograft skin applied to the wound following removal of the allograft skin. Limitations of fresh allograft skin includes the dearth of material, the need for refrigerated storage facilities, and a limited "effective" shelf life of approximately seven to ten days when the tissue is stored at 4 degrees Celsius. The possibility of disease transmission requires careful donor selection [Pruitt, B A et al., Arch. Surg. 119, 312-322, (1984)].
Current developments in the field of allograft skin products focus on culturing epidermal cells to form skin-like coverings to be used as skin allografts as referenced in U.S. Pat. No. 5,015,584. Cryopreservation of allograft is commonly used, which retains the viability of the donor cells to some extent. It was previously believed that living cells were required for the success of skin allograft. However, good results have been obtained using methods which preserve the allograft without retaining the viability of the cells, such as preservation with glycerol [Kreis R W, et al., J. Trauma 29(1), 51-54 (1989)] [Hermans, M H E, Burns 15(1), 57-59 (1989)], silicone fluid [Ballantyne, D L Jr. et al., Cryobiology 8, 211-215, (1971)] or lyophilization [Young, J M et al., Arch. Surg. 80(Feb.), 208-213, (1960)].
Fresh-frozen allograft skin and lyophilized allograft skin have limitations such as demanding processing procedures. The requirements for such procedures confine the preparation of either material to special centers having proper facilities. The lyophilized material has an essentially unlimited nonrefrigerated shelf life, while the frozen material has a similarly prolonged shelf life provided proper refrigeration is maintained. Either material can be easily and rapidly prepared for use by rehydration or thawing. Lyophilized allograft skin generally adheres less well to the wound and is less able to reduce the bacterial count on the wound surface than fresh allograft skin [Pruitt, B A et al., Arch. Surg. 119, 312-322, (1984)].
U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,645,849 and 3,743,480 describe processes for of sterilization of biological material (e.g., blood serum) by microwave irradiation. Methods for preparing and sterilizing biological tissues such as heart valves, veins, cartilage, ligaments and organs for use as bioprostheses are described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,994,237. The source of irradiation is a microwave oven. This method tends to heat the specimen and destroy its structure. A method of sterilization of biological material by ultraviolet light is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,880,512. Ultraviolet light is an efficient method of sterilization but it does not penetrate through objects such as skin very well. Consequently, this method is not always secure. In addition, Ultraviolet Light is not efficient for batch sterilization.
Another widely used method of biological tissue preservation and sterilization, which does not retain cell viability, is gamma irradiation. This method has been used extensively in the preservation of bone allograft, with good results. It has also been used in the preservation of donor cartilage [Dingman R O et al., Plast. Reconstr. Surg. 28(5), 562-567, (1961)], blood vessels, heart valves [Wright K A et al., Sterilization and Preservation of Biological Tissues by Ionizing Radiation. Vienna, International Atomic Energy Agency, 107-118, (1970)], dura mater, and sclera [Colvard D M et al., Am. J. Ophthal., 87(4), 494-496, (1979)]. Irradiation sterilization of the tissue permits storage at room temperature, a considerable advantage when low temperature storage is unavailable. U.S. Pat. No. 4,351,091 employs gamma and x-ray irradiation to preserve a corpse to kill bacteria and other microorganisms that contribute to the decomposition of a corpse. This patent does not address infectious diseases such as viruses or the feasibility of preparing or preserving the corpse for organ donation.
With the use of allograft skin, there is an associated risk of the transmission of disease, including the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Skin banks around the world were virtually closed down for two or more years after the reported transmission of HIV from allograft skin [Clarke J A, Lancet 1,983, (1987)]. Gamma irradiation at ranges of 250,000 cGy to 2.5 million cGy has been shown to inactivate HIV [Hiemstra H et al., Transfusion, 31(1), 32-39, (1991)] [Spire B et al., Lancet, 1, 188-189, (1985)]. The effect of gamma irradiation on human coagulation factors found in human plasma and on virus suspended in plasma or other types of suspending medium has been studied [Kitchen, A D et al., Vox Sang 56, 223-229, (1989)].
The present invention overcomes the above-described disadvantages inherent with various materials and methods of the prior art.
In accordance with the present invention, a new method for the preparation and sterilization of human skin allografts is presented. Gamma irradiation has been earlier shown to inactivate HIV and has been used previously to sterilize allografts of bone and other tissues, but has not previously been used to sterilize and store the allograft skin at room temperature. Human skin allografts were irradiated in the present invention and applied as a temporary wound dressing on a skin graft donor site. When compared with a frozen skin allograft on the same recipient, the irradiated allograft proved to be as effective. This invention will be particularly useful for wound and burn therapies. It offers the potential of a low cost, safe and effective treatment that can be used widely and without extensive training or extensive facilities.
An object of this invention is to develop a method of sterilizing and storing human allograft skin so that the risk of transmission of infectious diseases, particularly viral diseases, is eliminated.
An additional object of this invention is to provide a method of preparing human allograft skin that is inexpensive and easily available to a large percentage of the medical community.
Another object of this invention is to allow for the preservation of sterile skin allografts without the need for refrigeration or other treatment which would result in additional expense.
Advantages of the present invention over the prior art and a better understanding of the invention and its use will become more apparent from the following disclosure.
A detailed embodiment of the present invention is herein disclosed. However, it is understood that the disclosed preferred embodiment is merely illustrative of the invention that may be embodied in various forms. Accordingly, specific structural and method details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as support for the invention as claimed and as a representative example for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present invention.
The present invention describes the first known use of gamma irradiation to sterilize and prepare skin allograft for use as a biological dressing. Because of the risk of the transmission of infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis, and other viral diseases, the use of a safe, effective and inexpensive method has become apparent.
Donor skin from an HIV and hepatitis negative donor was obtained from the skin removed during a thighplasty. This skin was harvested using a power dermatome and sheets of skin 0.014 in. thick were obtained. These were placed immediately in Tis-u-Sol (Baxter; Deerfield, Ill.), a balanced salt solution, and stored overnight at 4 degrees Celsius. The harvested skin was then rinsed three times in Tis-u-Sol, and divided into several groups. One sample was placed in a solution of Eagles Minimal Essential Medium and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and frozen in liquid nitrogen. One piece was placed directly in formalin, to serve as a control for histological studies. Other pieces were placed in Tis-u-Sol in glass or plastic containers for irradiation with 3.0 million cGy at 23 degrees Celsius using a Cobalt-60 source. The invention can be practiced by irradiating skin samples for a period of time sufficient to provide a sterilizing dose of gamma radiation. Accordingly, such dosage is calculated using ordinary and usual parameters (i.e., medium size, etc.) of dosimetry. Irradiation dosages, sufficient to effect sterilization, are known in the art. Rinsing is not obligatory to practice the invention. As additional controls, several pieces of skin were left in Tis-u-Sol at 23 degrees Celsius both with and without antibiotics (5000 U/cc penicillin and 5000 mcg/cc streptomycin) for the amount of time required to irradiate the 3 million cGy samples. At the end of the irradiation period, a sample of the irradiated skin and a sample of each of the 23 degrees Celsius controls were cultured and placed in formalin for analysis. The remainder of the irradiated skin was stored at 23 degrees Celsius (room temperature) in the closed containers employed for the sterilization procedure and may be stored for an extended period of time.
After 14 days a sample of cryopreserved skin and two samples of the 3 million cGy irradiated skin were placed on a thigh skin graft donor site of a healthy volunteer. A portion of each allograft was placed in formalin for analysis at the time, and 2 mm punch biopsies were obtained at 3, 6, 8, 10, 13, 17, and 24 days post-op. All samples were stained using hematoxylin and eosin, as well as colloidal iron, and all histological samples were numbered and evaluated in a blinded fashion.
Cultures were negative for bacteria for both the control samples and the irradiated samples.
Throughout the study, the patient reported minimal pain from all areas of his donor site; no evidence of infection was seen at any time.
The clinical course of the allografts showed that at postoperative day two, both grafts looked somewhat pink and were firmly adherent to the graft bed. At day three both grafts were still pink and intact, but some epidermolysis was visible on the frozen allograft. By postoperative day six, the superficial epidermis of the frozen allograft had almost completely sloughed, while in contrast the irradiated allograft remained intact and supple. Histological examination at this point shows the frozen allograft dermis overlying the patient's own epidermis and dermis, while the irradiated graft appears intact but with nonviable cells. Between postoperative day eight and thirteen, the frozen allograft began to develop some areas of epitheliazation over the remaining allograft dermis, while the irradiated allograft began to form a thin eschar interspersed with some areas of epithelialization. By postoperative day seventeen the frozen allograft began to slough completely, while the site of the irradiated allograft was predominantly epithelialized, with some areas of eschar still remaining. Histologic examination shows the frozen allograft to be well epithelialized over the allograft dermis, with the patient's dermis and epidermis underneath; while the nonviable cells of the irradiated graft have been replaced with living cells. At postoperative day 27 the frozen allograft site still had many areas lacking epithelialization due to islands of retained allograft dermis, while the irradiated site was predominantly epithelialized.
We have shown that irradiated allograft is as effective a biological dressing as conventional frozen allograft. HIV and other viruses are inactivated by the radiation dose used in the present invention.
The results in this patient indicate that the cryopreserved allograft does indeed survive to form a viable skin layer over the patient's own tissue until it is rejected. The irradiated allograft forms an inert, protective barrier which sloughs after regrowth of the patient's own epidermis. Both forms of allograft performed well as a dressing, providing good coverage and pain relief as well as protection from infection. The irradiated allograft, however, produced a stable epithelial surface ten days before the cryopreserved allograft.
Skin allograft preservation by gamma irradiation has many advantages, and makes skin allograft use a possibility in areas where it is not currently available, such as small hospitals, doctors' offices, and developing countries of the world. The preparation of irradiated skin allograft is inexpensive and simple to perform, requiring only basic materials and access to a Cobalt-60 source. Irradiated allograft can be stored on the shelf at room temperature and does not require liquid nitrogen or low temperature freezer storage. Application of irradiated skin requires no thawing, washing or rehydration, as found with other methods of skin preservation.
The only factors limiting the usefulness of this technique are the availability of cadaveric skin and a Cobalt-60 source. The low cost of the method and the fact that the skin is virus-free, and specifically HIV-free, will make this a most attractive means of preparing allograft skin for patients with burns and other wounds.
Thus is described our invention and the manner and process of making and using it in such full, clear, concise and exact terms so as to enable any person skilled in the art to which is pertains, or with which it pertains, or with which it is most nearly connected, to make and use the same.

How come I can spend 40 hours a week watching TV, but you turn on the XBOX and all the sudden you are wasting time. I watch what ever stupid show is on tv, and no one sais anything to me. I will not be made to feel giulty for gaming. This blog is dedicated to my wife. SUCK IT.
Leave me alone and let me game.

I know exactly what you mean. Dad can spend his entire day browsing the internet and watching TV, but if he sees me playing a game I'm wasting time. Because yeah, no games tell interesting stories and everybody should spend their day watching daytime TV and ordering Dominoes online.

is it possible that your wife wants to play with you or she doen't want to touch the controller unless she is punting it out of your hands after your long hours of play?
I wishPosted: Feb 08, 2011 12:00AM PST by severe31
I use to be able to get her to play a lil bit. She got realy good at Rainbow 6 Vegas. SDhe played Halo when I was deployed. But aside from those rare mouments she has been a total battle axe about it. I have been trying to get her into Kinect, and she has played a lil, but her intrest wares quickly. I only game the short couple of hours she is at were after I ahve gotten home from work. Thanks for the feedback.
