LAS VEGAS, July 16
LAS VEGAS, July 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Illusions and Rick Haynes have helped open what is the first nightclub in the U.S. with holographic entertainment. Lolita's Cantina and Tequila Bar, owned by veteran hospitality developer Eric DeBiasi and celebrity chef Carlo Cavallo, is going to change the world of entertainment in Sin City. The grand opening on July 22, 2010 will include red carpet, celebrities and press to see what is going to be a hot ticket in the city of entertainment.
Designing the theater as the centerpiece of the club allows all guests to enjoy the custom holographic entertainment while eating, drinking or dancing. The theater looks like any other stage environment with a hidden trick: Digital Illusions uses state-of-the-art fire retardant polymers and high-definition video to create an illusion second to none. "The hologram truly looks real! It really did make me look twice when I first saw it. I didn't believe the girl wasn't up there!" said one viewer.
Allowing the DJ to have complete control over the content will open up a whole new kind of entertainment. Virtual dancing girls and entertainment at night, mariachis at lunch, and so much more, all mixed with the best DJ entertainment in Las Vegas. Custom software allows the DJ to mix in the holographic audio and video with their own mix seamlessly.
Ann DeVilbiss, Digital Illusions' owner and creative director, says, "This technology really will change business as usual in Las Vegas. Imagine having a library of hundreds or thousands of clips of entertainers, magicians, comedians, dancers ... well, the list goes on and on. Each one is ready to perform at a moment's notice. Each one is surrounded by special effects and magical appearances and disappearances. But most importantly, each one looks totally real. This is what is going to happen at Lolita's."
Digital Illusions will be creating the content for Lolita's along with Rick Haynes, film director and club developer. "We will be looking for all kinds of talent here in Las Vegas to film for this technology. We know this is where the best live entertainment exists and why we are opening the first holographic theater here," says Rick.
Lolita's Cantina and Tequila Bar is located at 6605 Las Vegas Blvd, Suite 207, Las Vegas, NV 89119, Town Square

We would like to graciously acknowledge Christine Short, MD FRCPC for her contribution to the development of this case study.
Mr. A.H. is a 33 year old male who was involved in an ATV accident 5 weeks ago. He suffered a left clavicular fracture and multiple rib fractures, as well as a C3-4 fracture dislocation with resulting spinal cord injury. Mr. A.H. is married with two children, and has worked for 12 years as a drywaller, which is a very physical job.
He was transferred to the local acute care trauma facility where he underwent spinal fusion surgery at C3-C5. His injury is classified as C4 AIS B incomplete and he is currently in the ICU requiring mechanical ventilation (see figure 1 and 2).
Mr. A.H. is being followed by respiratory therapy and physiotherapy for chest care. His treatment involves breath stacking BID and PRN (twice a day as needed). He has had one episode of pneumonia, which has resolved.
Mr. A.H.'s wife is eager for him to start the rehabilitation phase of his recovery, but the rehabilitation facility requires that he be off of mechanical ventilation prior to admission. She would like to know about what treatment options are available to expedite weaning from the ventilator.

Day 1 Left Merritt Island, FL stayed the night at a Motel 6 in Macon, GA. Rode 424 miles
Well, seems that we were able to leave as planned at 8 AM. Went by Mom's to say goodbyes, then on to pick up Nolan. Sandy and I went up I-95 from home to see how the trailer was behaving and it didn't behave very well at all, need to change some weight around. arrived at Nolan's about 9 AM. Took the obligatory pictures. This is how we look to start out, all cleaned up, our gear organized and ready to go. We'll take a picture upon our return in the same place and see if there's any difference. I did put two gallons of water in the gas can I carry to see if the additional weight would help. As we took off it did seem to help out some but it took another two stops and continued adding of water before I finally filled it up and now the trailer appears to be quite stable. Started to rain just before leaving Florida and had to stop at the Georgia Welcome Center to put on our foul weather gear. The rain and wind was coming in quite hard along with some lightening so felt a short stay would be in order. Turned out the stay was over an hour and according to the TV in the Center it was going to be with us all the way up I-75 to Macon. We felt we weren't getting anywhere just sitting around so off we went. In the rain and the wind and more rain. In fact it rained on us the whole way up to Macon. We made our town but instead of camping out at Tobesofkee Rec Area, wound up staying a a Motel 6, at least we can dryout. Really a pretty uneventful day and no pictures, maybe tomorrow will be a bit more dry.

A Scottish woman has made a full recovery from a deadly tumor and says it's all thanks to cannabis extracts.
In 2013, doctors diagnosed Lynn Cameron with stage four brain cancer and gave her 6 to 18 months to live. Despite the hopeless outlook, Cameron took combined surgical, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments, but these had no impact on the growth.
Desperate, Cameron said she tried cannabis oil. "A good friend suggested cannabis, but I was too scared because it's illegal," she told the Daily Record. "I also found it hard to believe that it would cure brain cancer so advanced."
Cameron administered a sublingual extract so it would go "straight into the bloodstream."
Each MRI scan she received after beginning her cannabis treatment showed improvement. After the sixth scan, the tumor was completely gone, Cameron says.
According to the patient, marijuana extract, in combination with a healthy alkaline diet, is what she has to thank for her recovery. She's ruled out that her other treatments could have contributed, saying, "I had been told that chemotherapy and radiotherapy doesn't make much difference, so I knew it must be the cannabis doing it."
That doesn't exactly sound scientific. Very few doctors would recommend using cannabis oil in place of traditional cancer therapies. Some, though, would say it can work in combination with surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy. In fact many say it aids in mitigating the harsh side effects of prolonged cancer therapies.
Cameron herself had a hard time finding physicians to cooperate with her cannabis treatment. "The British Medical Journal hasn't properly investigated cannabis. The irony was they were giving me morphine and codeine in the wards. Prior to becoming ill, I had never taken a pill before in my life," she said. "It was up to me what treatment I took, and I'm glad I researched it."
The Scott has gone on to join the advocacy group Medical Cannabis Reform Scotland, which pushes "for the reform of the current prohibitive laws around the use of cannabis for medication".
