Day 5
Day 5: Wendover NV Grays Lake State Forrest, ID
Anthony and I got up early and went down for breakfast to meet up with the other guys at 7.30am. Ironically, Phil, who was always the one to push us along for an early departure .. was absent. A quick call to his room and it was evident that despite all the excuses he gave us, he had slept in. Much laughter and a few snide comments ensued. Once again, even after not having to de-camp, we still managed to get rolling around 9.15am. We said our good byes to Stan who was on his way to Idaho Falls for repairs, and headed back out past the Bonneville Speedway and rejoined the route where we had finished up last night.
Todays ride would take us around the Great Salt Lake on the old Trans-Continental Railroad line. We made wound around on the fast desert roads for the first 60 miles until we came to an intersection that Byways had let us know was washed out and impassable we were later to find out from Casey B that he managed to ride through the huge wash out at night. Andrew took over the lead and we made really quick time to the start of the railroad grade.
The run up the rail road grade was a hoot. Super high speed stretches for 20 miles at a time but we had to be alert for the detours around the abandoned bridges every couple of miles. Unfortunately, none of us seem to have any pics through this section - sorry. Phil said he hit triple digits at one point. Did I say this section was fast? The pattern soon became: flat out straight and flat sections for a mile or so, followed by a huge braking zone then 35-45mph chicane (sometimes filled with mud and water), then back onto the track. Repeat over and over for around 100 miles. Great fun was had by all. I was riding at the back of the pack when I came across Phil covered in mud pushing his bike out of a mud bog. Obviously he pushed the braking zone to the limit and failed to negotiate the 20ft mud hole. He was fine, so as a good friend does ..I laughed, and laughed and laughed.
At around 12ish we pulled into the Golden Spike for a quick break. This place was historically significant as it marked the meeting place for the East and West lines. None of us really wanted to pay the fee to check out the tourist centre, but we all checked out the pristinely restored steam engines replete with theme dressed characters through the fence. Unfortunately, I didnt get any pics, but Phil managed to snap this classic.
We stopped for gas and lunch at a farmers Co-op on the outskirts of Brigham City the deli here was really good! Leaving Brigham City, we climbed in elevation again and found a nice dirt road. I was leading through here and the navigation was a little dicey as it looked like the track we were meant to be on had been torn up and replaced by a freshly graded road about 400yds to the left. It was heading in the right direction, so I followed it being a little more cautious for pinch flats it was rocky.
Now, as I have mentioned, we had seen some amazing sights on this trip so far (beautiful scenery, wildlife, drones and dog fights), but one of the highlights was coming up next. I was leading when I came up behind a strange sight that would keep us enthralled for the next day or so. At first I couldnt make out exactly what it was, but following behind and studying (closely) it was apparent we were following a Polaris RZR with 2 rear flats. All I noticed however was a perfectly shaped womans butt (covered with spray on jeans) hanging over the roof and rear roll bar, accented with the occasional bob of a long blonde pony tail. Anthony pulled along side of me and we glanced at eachother through our visors. Then, inexplicably, Anthony sounds his horn to pass. Now I would estimate that Anthony and I have ridden at least 20,000 miles together, and never had I seen him perform such a stupid stunt.
We passed and continued on for a few more miles then pulled over for a chat. It went something like this:
Dave: What the f#&% were you thinking?
Anthony: mumble, grumble, excuse, excuse.
Dave: I would have been happy to follow them all the way to Canada (Honey, darling wife - if you are reading this, I would only have done this to make sure these poor stranded tourists made it safely to their destination).
The effect of this sight on our very male group was hysterical. Then, sure enough the said RZR comes around the corner and stops to talk. There were actually two beautiful young ladies one on the roof, and one on the hood in similar attire trying to disembark their rattling transport, with a significantly older gentleman driving with a big grin on his face (must have been from the beautiful scenery ). The brunette on the front asks us how far to Bear Lake, and if we could give them a ride to their truck. A bit of a quandary really: Of course we were fully loaded, and it would have been unsafe for us to provide this type of assistance, so unfortunately we had to politely decline. Upon discussing the situation around the campfire later that night, there was at least one of our group who considered dumping all his luggage on the spot and taking one of the ladies. At least 3 more of the group (remember our group was now down to 4) were trying to work out how to fit the girls on the bikes while keeping our luggage on. I realize this story might not seem very plausible, and since all photographic evidence of the event was destroyed, you will all just have to take my word for it! BREAKING NEWS - A PHOTO OF THE RZR DEPARTING HAS JUST SURFACED.
We said good bye to our stranded trio, got our heads screwed back on, and continued on the dirt roads to HWY 89 where we turned right towards Garden City and Bear Lake. After gassing up, we headed south and east on HWY 30 for our longest slab section towards Kemmerer back in Wyoming. Gassed up again, and decided to push on and find a camp site somewhere up in the Grays Lake State Forest. Soon after Kemmer, the sealed road transformed into the smoothest, fastest gravel road I had ever seen. We followed the river up another 50 miles or so, passed lots and lots of hunters towing apartment complexes behind their trucks, and eventually found a nice state campground once again, with a pile of firewood.
We were all tired after a fairly long and exhausting day, so we set up camp pretty quickly and sat around a fire having dinner and discussing the days .events.

Looks like the boots are about the right height, and I have the accent down too. Only 80% there on the hair color though...
As David mentioned, upon returning home I did replace the suit, with an even more heinously colored high-viz version, scored off CL. A true onesy as well, rather than the wannabe blue version. However, should I have the distinct misfortune to ride with any of you drama queens in the future, the blue suit remains - much like my Australian friend - firmly entrenched in the closet.
Coincidentally, this months Adventure Bike Rider magazine includes an interview with Vince. He spends most of the article taking aim at LWR for ruining the concept of Adventure riding, since in his opinion - mainly due to Ewan and Charlie - the current perception of adventure riding is that one needs a $20000 bike and a cache of equally expensive clothing/equipment before setting off. It's a $12 magazine http://www.adventurebikerider.com/ne...8-out-now.html

Day 6
Day 6: Grays Lake Idaho Falls
120 miles
It got pretty cold overnight which wasnt helped by the fact that I did not put the fly on my tent. We started up a fire and huddled around until we could jump into an area warmed by the sun poking through the trees. This was a really pretty camp site. We had thought that having the pit toilets close by would be an advantage, but we didnt count on the Griswalds and their twenty cousins showing up in the middle of the night to destroy the facilities while leaving their diesel toy haulers running. Ahhh, the peace and serenity of remote camping ..
We took things a little slower leaving camp, as we knew we had a pretty short run into Idaho Falls. We hadnt really set up a rendezvous with Stan when he left as we had no idea of how long it would take, but because of the big mileage we had done yesterday, we figured we were at least a half day ahead of schedule. We rolled out of camp and started climbing into the Idaho rolling hills that were wide and dotted with vast cow camps. This whole section was very busy, with lots of hunters providing a few scares. At one stage Phil and I were forced into a ditch by opposing traffic.
We stopped at a breathtaking scenic overlook for a quick snack, all the while in awe of the beautiful river below us surrounded by a stark granite cliff all around. As the rest of the group departed, I waited to make sure everyone was rolling. Sure enough, Phils 950 wouldnt start. Our combined incredible powers of mechanical engineering determined that the problem was electrical. After 10 minutes of checking as much wiring and fuses as we could to no avail, we decided to trace right back to the battery sure enough the positive terminal was loose. Phil had been complaining of intermittent power loss the whole ride. It would seem that when he replaced the battery on day 1, he had not tightened the terminal.
Off again, as fast as we could safely travel allowing for traffic, and about 15 miles up the road we ran into Anthony and Andrew who had brought back a whole search party for us including Stan, Questor and Byways.
We stopped for introductions and a bit of a chin wag, and then continued on to our next stop for gas and lunch just down the road.
Apparently Stan had had his forks rebuilt by a local guy in Idaho Falls that Byways had recommended and he was very happy with the way they felt. He had met up with Questor and camped in his lawn apparently the three of them had consumed a fair bit of some micro-brew as well. It was nice to catch up with Byways after 5 years, and Questor was also a great guy. I had read many of his ride reports over the years and it was great to finally meet him in person. He was kind enough to guide us the rest of the route into Idaho Falls, and then offered to let us all camp in his back yard an offer that we eagerly accepted.
The remaining 50 odd miles was a fun and fast, but very dusty route along a windy range covered in huge white windmills. I have driven past these things a few times, but once you get really close you have a much better understanding of just how big they really are and they were everywhere.
Once again, we battled with traffic on the busy weekend, and once again I ended up in a ditch as a guy in a Toyota Tundra pulling a 25ft trailer waived as he took up the whole road and left me nowhere to go. I think Phil, who was behind me, might have let him know that his actions were ..far from gentlemanly. Others might refer to his gestures as being some type of friendly salute....
Arriving at Questors place we were all in good spirits and the whole group was reunited. Questor was an incredibly gracious host and not only let us camp, but offered the use of his pressure washer and a hot shower. He obviously does this for a lot of ADV inmates as there was a sign on the wall explaining that all ADV inmates were to sign the world map shower curtain. Close inspection of the wall map showed many very familiar names you know who you are.
Feeling relaxed, we heard the purr of a big KTM single and saw CaseyB roll up into the driveway. Apparently he was riding the Heart of the West as well on his 690 but had had Byways customize his route to include a couple of weeks around Moab. He was having the trip of a lifetime, and his was great to hear all about his adventure. Unfortunately, he had crashed earlier on in the day, but seemed to be well.
We all d for a while, and then Questor drove us all to a nice restaurant in his tricked out Tacoma. Byways joined us, and we bought him and Questor dinner as a small thanks for the hospitality and support they had both shown us all. We had a great night, a few adult beverages, many laughs.
It was great talking with Byways and we walked away with a new appreciation for his passion when it comes to adventure travel and specifically the historical significance of these remote western routes. He has literally spent a lifetime creating off road routes across the country. I think he was a little shocked at the pace we were travelling his route especially due to the recent weather that had sometimes severely affected the track conditions. He did implore us to slow down a little and stop to take in the history. I mentioned that I would like to do this route again sometime in a 4x4 . Maybe one day.
Back to Questors place, a quick call to my wife and daughter, and then off to bed.

Sorry guys. Took me a little while to rifle through all the emoticons. apparently no good ride report is worth reading w/o them! as for the girls in tight jeans and hot butts go, I suppose I could have waited a few more minutes before sounding the "get out of the way" button.

Day 7
Day 7: Idaho Falls to Gravelly Range, MT.
We packed up, said our thank yous and good byes to Questor, and were on the road by about 8am. Casey B was scrambling a little, not used to having the set agenda of a group dynamic, rather soaking up the experience of travelling solo and enjoying the freedom of flowing as the circumstances dictate. Of course, first stop was 2 miles Wally World for a top up of supplies. Right next door, we indulged in the sacred BMW tradition of Starbucks. OK, so we all enjoy the luxury of a hot latte every now and then, but a pack of KTMs lined up in front of a Starbucks??? I am sure, once again, all photographic evidence of said fictitious occurrence was destroyed. Next stop, gas and we were ready to roll at about 9.15am.
Our route started out heading west into the plains, then north with the constant lure of the mountains in the distance. We blew through around 80 miles where you could count the number of turns on one hand straight through fields and farm land for what felt like ages. At one point we were forced to stop for a group of ranchers mustering a few hundred head of sheep down the road. It was quite an experience, something that our Georgia boys had never seen.
Phil glanced over to me and made some incredibly ignorant and hurtful comments about remind you of home, erections, etc. While the rest of the group thought this was particularly funny, I was hurt mostly because Phil obviously thought that I was a Kiwi!!!
We stopped and checked out the historic school house of Edie and posed for some pics.
Stanopedia went straight into the role of schoolmaster
Our very unruly class
Phil was quite turned on by this
Obviously requiring some discipline - for some inexplicable reason, he kept begging for more
Anthony of course continued with his book research - this particular bathroom didn't score very highly.
We arrived at the base of the mountain range and started climbing into the low clouds. It was a pretty ride with ominous signs of potential bad weather on the way. The rain held off though as we wound our way through some really fun terrain. We didnt stop for much, but were forced to break while Andrew quickly fixed a rear flat (our first of the trip).
At one point Phil took the lead for the first time in the whole ride so far the usually mild mannered and quiet guy (perhaps horribly embarrassed by the gaudy blue strippers riding suit complete with baby Harley booties) and raced off at the fastest we had ridden so far. Determined not to be outdone by a bloody Pom, I set off on his tail. At the end of the section we stopped and I said: Holy sh#* Phil, that was fairly spirited. He laughed and said: Yeah. Now Ive got it out of my system, I can go back to the back of the pack.
The ride continued and we made it to the old Historic Town of Bannack, Montana. Bannack was a gold mining community and was at one time the capital of the MT Territory, and boasted the first jail in the state. This was a cool stop with old restored buildings, hotels, saloons, & a school house with a Masonic Temple upstairs. We all enjoyed touring about the town, and I was very intrigued by the significant role that vigilantes played in the history of the region it would make for a good movie.
Andrew and I were escorted straight to the jail
Old BMW final drives???
We headed into the town of Dillon running on fumes, gassed up and went for a late lunch. It was starting to rain hard by now, and we had to make a decision about where to camp. There wasnt much in the way of hotels in Dillon, so we decided to push on another 80 miles or so up into the Gravelly Range this road had only just opened up after the recent wild fires earlier in the Summer. We suited up, and headed straight out into a rainstorm. This slowed us down a bit as the roads were really slick, but we found a really nice hunting camp by the side of the road and alongside a beautiful river. We scrambled to get our tents set up, and then went in search of firewood during a very short break in the storm.
The storm set in for a while, and I took the opportunity to relax in my tent and read for a while. An hour or so later, I joined the group who had by this stage set up a fire and a makeshift shelter under Casey Bs tarpauline. Much deep conversation, a quick bag of dinner, and we all went off to our tents.

Day 8
Day 8: Gravelly Range, MT to Jackson Hole, WY
It was a pretty cold and wet night, and we awoke to another very cold morning. Frost on all our gear convinced us that we should start a fire and wait for the tents to dry out for a while.
Eventually we ended up packing up our wet tents, and headed off grip warmers on. Check. Our plan today was to camp at Jackson Lake, but as we were to find out, the best laid plans ..mice .men ..
The roads conditions were much better than we were expecting after the steady rain over the past 24 hrs. The surface was mostly pretty tacky and the grip was good. The Gravelly Range was quite pretty and I could really tell that the expanses were getting much bigger between valleys and landmarks.
Soon after, we had a bit of a break as Stan had the first of two rear punctures for the day. A roofing nail was the culprit, but he swapped out the tube pretty quickly.
Andrew and I waited on the Historic Brundage bridge and once again solved many of the worlds problems.
We rode for a while in vast Montana ranching territory and wildlife refuges, and we saw that the mountain ranges were covered in a fresh layer of snow. Beautiful scenery, but it never really warmed up much.
We had a nice long lunch break and fuel stop at a place called Ponds Lodge in the NorthEastern corner near Island park Reservoir which gave us an opportunity to warm up. After lunch we headed south and then the route took us by Mesa Falls so we went to check them out. We wlaked around and took plenty of photos. The falls are quite spectacular and I really enjoyed the place. Casey B managed to scare the shit out of us by balancing his very expensive DSLR camera (he is quite a talented photographer) on a guide rail for a timed group shot.
All worked out fine, and we continued South through more Idaho ranch lands, then turned left and started climbing back into some very fun wooded areas. Stan picked up his second flat of the day, this time by some sort of euro wood screw. This one didnt take long either as by this time, Phil and he were a precision pit team.
The next 75 miles were a blast just climbing up into beautiful pine forests. We started getting close to Jackson Lake and the decision was made to head to Jenny Lake for camp that came highly recommended from Stan. We battled through lots of toursist and traffic focused on everything but the road they were driving on.
Eventually we made it to Jenny Lake only to find that Jenny lake camp was full. All other organized camp sites in the area were closed for the season.
Tired and a little frustrated we had no choice but to push on to Jackson Hole where we found a hotel after a fairly lengthy search.
A hot shower cheered me up, and we decided to get a cab into town for dinner. We ended up going the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar which really didnt serve food. We had a few cocktails and I dont think anyone was really enjoying themselves. It seemed wherever we went in that town, we were just not welcome, or we were at the mercy of the seemingly well established Russian mafia.
Casey did manage to buy his favorite sticker
At one point, Stan smiled while staring out at the dance floor and quipped: You know what I really like about towns like Jackson and Aspen?....They are obviously caring communities .Look at all these caring uncles taking their nieces out for dinner.

Thank you Avery-Dennison, for making such a smart product, and providing your customers with a clean "green" way to create labels. I use your product for just about anything and everything. I use them at work to create address labels, to all of my customers and vendors, and I also use them to create "quick reference tags", which I place on my job folders for my workers, to explain who the primary contractor/subcontractors are, and their contact info. My wife knew about them as an office manager for one of the largest medical supply companies in the country. It was through her that I learned how great an orginizational/informational tool these could be. My wife and I also used your clear label product to create caligraphy address labels for our wedding invitations, and also to create our seating plaques. I have found an abundance of ways to use your products to simplify my work and home schedules. I have lived in the area of your Framingham factory for my entire life and never knew what great products were being produced. I am very pleased to finally have the opportunity to say Thank You!Kindest Regards

I have used Design Pro on the PC and now on the MAC. While some parts work very well and are easy, like if you want a whole page of return labels. Other parts, like merging are not done very well. If you merge is not what you want, you have to start all over with inserting fields and selecting receipiants - if you list is long, even just 100, that can take a long time and trouble. there is no way to filter, only to sort. and like I said, it does not remember your selections. it works a little better with the MAC address book, but what if you want a database separately? the PC version handles this so much better. also there is no way (that I can find) to create your own design - the PC version lets you do this easily, even using existing templates to work with. So, while I would recommend using this product - it is the best out there for MAC and there is no charge. I still think the program needs a major overhaul to include things that are included in the PC version. (there is also no way to add your own clipart previews - PC version there is.)

Comments about Avery Dennison Filing Labels:
I recently bough the top view labels and the creases are hard to bend to get a good view from the top and had lots of trouble inserting them into the folders causing the labels to be wrinkled and made it hard to read the labels.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have been using your address labels as long as I have been able to use a computer. I love all the different label sizes and shapes I can buy. I use them on everything from mail to totes. I even print my Mom's labels when she needs them. Recently I was having trouble printing labels and I called and the person I spoke with was wonderful. It turned out to be a printer issue and not the labels.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

HOSCHTON -- Alpharetta kept Mill Creek's primary offensive weapon in check during the first half. But the Raiders couldn't maintain that defensive pressure as Lauren Tanner racked up four second-half goals to lead Mill Creek to a 5-1 win in the first round of the Class AAAAAA girls soccer state tournament.
Mill Creek, Class AAAAAA's No. 2-ranked team, advances to next Tuesday's second round and will host Brookwood.
Mill Creek jumped on top at the 35:34 mark of the first half as McKenzie Rice fed Alex Giles for the opening goal of the game and a 1-0 Hawks' lead.
Mill Creek won a ball near midfield and got it into the offensive zone where Rice and Giles combined for the goal.
The two teams traded offensive threats throughout the first half until Alpharetta tied it at 1-1 on Mandy Cole's goal with 6:20 left in the half.
Alpharetta got it started on a corner kick -- the Raiders' fifth of the half -- that Mill Creek goalkeeper Rachel Allred punched away, but that left an open goal and Cole capitalized with the score.
But in the final 40 minutes, it was all Mill Creek.
"We let (Alpharetta) outwork us in the first half," said Mill Creek head coach Brent Leitsch. "But in the second half, we came out and worked harder and became the aggressor. When we got that second goal and took the lead early in the second half, everything started to click."
Mill Creek wasted no time regaining the lead just 33 seconds into the second half as Tanner took a pass from Giles and scored to give the Hawks a 2-1 advantage.
Alpharetta did have a great chance to tie it with 24:30 remaining, but Jacqueline Sittler just missed on the left side with a header.
Mill Creek put the game away when Tanner scored her second goal of the night to make it 3-1 Hawks.
Melissa Hanken got a pass to Tanner, who split two defenders 30 yards out and then moved in to close range to finish and give Mill Creek the two-goal margin with only 13:14 left to play.
"We came out a completely different team in the second half," said Tanner. "We knew we had to get the job done and start playing with more intensity. We felt like (Alpharetta) was playing harder than we were. But it was more in our heads than it was anything we were doing on the field. "
Tanner got her third goal of the game with 6:17 left on a rebound in front of the Alpharetta goal, then knocked home her fourth and final goal with 1:40 remaining on an assist from Shelby Murphy to complete the scoring.
"Hopefully, we learned something tonight," said Leitsch. "If we want to win the (state) title, and I know we do, we have to play aggressively for 80 minutes with no letdowns. It just gets tougher in every round and we have to be ready."

Financial Results SummaryTotal third party revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, increased $136.6 million, or 9.5%, to $1.57 billion from $1.44 billion in the comparable prior year period. The effect of foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact of approximately 2% on total third party revenues primarily reflecting a stronger U.S. Dollar in comparison to the currencies of the other major markets in which Mylan operates. Translating third party revenues for the current quarter at prior year comparative period exchange rates would have resulted in year-over-year growth excluding foreign currency of approximately $162 million, or 11%.A tabular summary of the company's revenues for the quarters ended March 31, 2012, and 2011, is included at the end of this release. Also included at the end of this release are the reconciliations of adjusted financial results to the most closely applicable GAAP financial result.
Third party net revenues from Mylan's Generics segment, which are derived from sales in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (collectively, EMEA) and Australia, India, Japan and New Zealand (collectively, Asia Pacific) were $1.41 billion in the quarter ended March 31, 2012, compared to $1.34 billion in the comparable prior year period, representing an increase of $71.4 million or 5.3% or an increase of approximately 7% when excluding the unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation.
Third party net revenues from North America were $776.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, compared to $674.3 million for the comparable prior year period, representing an increase of $102.3 million or 15.2%. The increase in third party revenues was principally due to sales of new products which totaled approximately $211.1 million in the current quarter. The most significant ne

Module description:
Restorative Justice is an innovative approach that has been advanced in recent years as an alternative way of dealing with offending behaviour by making victims, offenders and communities the key participants in working out how to deal with the aftermath of crime. With emphasis upon repairing the harm that has been caused, notions of responsibility of the offender, restoration of the victim and reintegration of the offender back into the community are some of the central principles of restorative justice. Despite the growing interest in the theory of restorative justice and the increasing popularity world wide of restorative justice programmes, this topic is a subject of intense debate. The aim of the module is to explore some of the key aspects of restorative justice theory and practice and will also focus upon the major issues within the debate. Although the emphasis will be on examples of restorative justice arrangements in England and Wales, where appropriate reference will be made to comparative material from other countries.

Article: Regeneration of rabbit calvarial defects using cells-implanted nano-hydroxyapatite coated silk scaffolds[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background The aim of this study was to characterize the efficacy of nano-hydroxyapatite-coated silk fibroin constructs as a scaffold for bone tissue engineering and to determine the osteogenic effect of human dental pulp and periodontal ligament derived cells at an early stage of healing in rabbits. 3D silk fibroin constructs were developed and coated using nano-hydroxyapatite crystals. Dental pulp and periodontal ligament cells from extracted human third molars were cultured and seeded onto the silk scaffolds prior to in vivo implantation into 8 male New Zealand White rabbits. Four circular windows 8 mm in diameter were created in the calvarium of each animal. The defects were randomly allocated to the groups; (1) silk scaffold with dental pulp cells (DPSS), (2) silk scaffold with PDL cells (PDLSS), (3) normal saline-soaked silk scaffold (SS), and (4) empty control. The animals were sacrificed 2 (n = 4) or 4 weeks (n = 4) postoperatively. The characteristics of the silk scaffolds before and after cell seeding were analyzed using SEM. Samples were collected for histologic and histomorphometic analysis. ANOVA was used for statistical analysis. Result Histologic view of the experimental sites showed well-maintained structure of the silk scaffolds mostly unresorbed at 4 weeks. The SEM observations after cell-seeding revealed attachment of the cells onto silk fibroin with production of extracellular matrix. New bone formation was observed in the 4 week groups occurring from the periphery of the defects and the silk fibers were closely integrated with the new bone. There was no significant difference in the amount of bone formation between the SS group and the DPSS and PDLSS groups. Conclusion Within the limitations of this study, silk scaffold is a biocompatible material with potential expediency as an osteoconductive scaffold in bone tissue engineering. However, there was no evidence to suggest that the addition of hDPCs and hPDLCs to the current rabbit calvarial defect model can produce an early effect in augmenting osteogenesis.12/2015; 19(1).

Article: Alveolar Bone Resorption Induced by CD4(+)CD45RB High-Density T-Cell Transfer in Immunocompromised Mice[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: The aims of this study were to determine whether the antigen-inexperienced [naive, CD45RB high density] T-cell (CD4(+)CD45RB(High) T-cell) transfer model is associated with alveolar bone resorption, to elucidate the local osteogenic/adipogenic potential of alveolar bone marrow stromal cells (ABCs) from T-cell-transferred animals, and to investigate the systemic osteogenic potential by transplanting human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) into these animals. Methods: CD4(+)CD45RB(High) and CD4(+)CD45RB(Low) [antigen-experienced (memory, CD45RB low density)] T cells were sorted and transferred into severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice to induce inflammatory-bowel-disease (IBD)-like syndrome (n = 8). hPDLSCs were transplanted into T-cell-transferred SCID mice to examine ectopic cementum formation 8 weeks after T cell transfer. The mandibles and tibias of these mice were retrieved for micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), histomorphometric analysis, and isolation of alveolar bone cells 16 weeks after T cell transfer. The in vitro osteogenic and adipogenic potentials of the ABCs were evaluated. Results: Histological and micro-CT analysis revealed that the transfer of CD4(+)CD45RB(High) T-cell subset was sufficient for alveolar bone resorption and affected the osteogenic/adipogenic potential of ABCs. Furthermore, it was found that CD4(+)CD45RB(High) T cell-transferred animals have decreased systemic osteogenic potential, as evidenced using the in vivo ectopic hPDLSC transplantation model. Conclusions: CD4(+)CD45RB(High) T-cell transfer induced both alveolar bone resorption and reduced systemic osteogenic potential, with a concomitant down regulation of the osteogenic potential of ABCs.Journal of Periodontology 03/2014; 85(9).

Article: Characterization of the enhanced bone regenerative capacity of human periodontal ligament stem cells engineered to express the gene encoding bone morphogenetic protein 2.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) are considered an appropriate cell source for therapeutic strategies. The aims of this study were to investigate the sustainability of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) secretion from and the bone-regenerative capacity of hPDLSCs that had been genetically modified to express the gene encoding BMP2 (BMP2). hPDLSCs isolated from healthy third molars were transduced using replication-deficient recombinant adenovirus (rAd) encoding BMP2 (hPDLSCs/rAd-BMP2), and the cellular characteristics and osteogenic potentials of hPDLSCs/rAd-BMP2 were analyzed both in vitro and in vivo. hPDLSCs/rAd-BMP2 successfully secreted BMP2, formed colonies, and expressed immunophenotypes similar to their nontransduced counterparts. As to their osteogenic potential, hPDLSCs/rAd-BMP2 formed greater mineralized nodules and exhibited significantly higher levels of expression of BMP2 and the gene encoding alkaline phosphatase, and formed more and better quality bone than other hPDLSC-containing or recombinant human BMP2-treated groups, being localized at the initial site until 8 weeks. The findings of the present study demonstrate that hPDLSCs/rAd-BMP2 effectively promote osteogenesis not only in vitro but also in vivo. The findings also suggest that hPDLSCs can efficiently carry and deliver BMP2, and that hPDLSCs/rAd-BMP2 could be used in an attractive novel therapeutic approach for the regeneration of deteriorated bony defects.Tissue Engineering Part A 02/2014; DOI:10.1089/ten.TEA.2013.0648 · 4.64 Impact Factor
Article: Optimal Medium Formulation for the Long-Term Expansion and Stemness Maintenance of Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: Human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) are promising mesenchymal stem cells that are readily accessible. However, there is as yet no consensus as to the optimal culture medium for hPDLSCs. The purpose of the present study was thus to determine the optimal culture medium for long-term expansion of hPDLSCs. Methods: hPDLSCs were isolated from healthy 3(rd) molars and the most widely used medium formultions in previous studies were used: (i) an alpha minimum essential medium (α-MEM)-based medium formulation (MBM), (ii) a Dulbecco's minimum essential medium (DMEM)-based medium formation (DBM). P5 and P8 were evaluated with the two medium for cell proliferation, differentiation, and immunophenotype. Results: hPDLSCs that were primarily cultured in MBM were far more proliferated than those grown in DBM. In general, application of the MBM for longer period produced greater cell growth and osteogenic differentiation. Furthermore, MBM-precultured hPDLSCs exhibited a greater degree of cell proliferation and a greater production of mineralized tissue and ALP activity in vitro, although the levels of both were dependent upon the culture medium used. With respect to long-term expansion, the P5 hPDLSCs grew and produced the largest amount of mineralized nodules faster than the P8 hPDLSCs, but both passages exhibited a similar phenotype for stemness and ALP activity. Conclusion: Present study indicates that the inherent capacity of hPDLSCs could be maintained until a later passage, P8 in MBM, and MBM appears to be an optimal choice for manipulating the finest and most stable hPDLSCs.Journal of Periodontology 01/2013; DOI:10.1902/jop.2013.120541 · 2.57 Impact Factor
Article: Anti-inflammatory effect of (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate on Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide-stimulated fibroblasts and stem cells derived from human periodontal ligament[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) has been reported to exert anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects in periodontitis. However, its exact mechanism of action has yet to be determined. The present in vitro study evaluated the anti-inflammatory effects of EGCG on human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (hPDLFs) and human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) affected by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) extracted from Porphyromonas gingivalis. hPDLFs and hPDLSCs were extracted from healthy young adults and were treated with EGCG and/or P. gingivalis LPS. After 1, 3, 5, and 7 days from treatment, cytotoxic and proliferative effects were evaluated using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay and bromodeoxyuridine assay, respectively. And then, the gene expressions of hPDLFs and hPDLSCs were observed for interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL), and RANKL/OPG using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) at 0, 6, 24, and 48 hours after treatment. The experiments were performed with the following groups for hPDLFs and hPDLSCs; 1) No treat, 2) EGCG alone, 3) P. gingivalis LPS alone, 4) EGCG+P. gingivalis LPS. The 20 µM of EGCG and 20 µg/mL of P. gingivalis LPS had the lowest cytotoxic effects, so those concentrations were used for further experiments. The proliferations of hPDLFs and hPDLSCs increased in all groups, though the 'EGCG alone' showed less increase. In real-time PCR, the hPDLFs and hPDLSCs of 'EGCG alone' showed similar gene expressions to those cells of 'no treat'. The gene expressions of 'P. gingivalis LPS alone' in both hPDLFs and hPDLSCs were highly increased at 6 hours for IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, RANKL, and RANKL/OPG, except the RANKL/OPG in hPDLSCs. However, those increased gene expressions were down-regulated in 'EGCG+P. gingivalis LPS' by the additional treatment of EGCG. Our results demonstrate that EGCG could exert an anti-inflammatory effect in hPDLFs and hPDLSCs against a major pathogen of periodontitis, P. gingivalis LPS.Journal of periodontal & implant science 12/2012; 42(6):185-95.

Article: Effect of seeding using an avidin-biotin binding system on the attachment of periodontal ligament fibroblasts to nanohydroxyapatite scaffolds: three-dimensional culture[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: For periodontal tissue engineering, it is a primary requisite and a challenge to select the optimum types of cells, properties of scaffold, and growth factor combination to reconstruct a specific tissue in its natural form and with the appropriate function. Owing to fundamental disadvantages associated with using a two-dimensional substrate, several methods of seeding cells into three-dimensional scaffolds have been reported and the authors have asserted its usefulness and effectiveness. In this study, we explore the cell attachment of periodontal ligament fibroblasts on nanohydroxyapatite (n-HA) scaffold using avidin biotin binding system (ABBS). Human periodontal ligament fibroblasts were isolated from the health tooth extracted for the purpose of orthodontic procedure. HA nanoparticles were prepared and Ca(NO(3))(2)-4H(2)O and (OC(2)H(5))(3)P were selected as precursors of HA sol. The final scaffold was 8 mm in diameter and 3 mm in height disk with porosity value of 81.55%. 1×10(5) periodontal ligament fibroblasts were applied to each scaffold. The cells were seeded into scaffolds by static, agitating and ABBS seeding method. The number of periodontal ligament fibroblasts attached was greater for ABBS seeding method than for static or agitating method (P<0.05). No meaningful difference has been observed among seeding methods with scanning electron microscopy images. However, increased strength of cell attachment of ABBS could be deduced from the high affinity between avidin and biotin (Kd=10(-15) M). The high-affinity ABBS enhances the ability of periodontal ligament fibroblasts to attach to three-dimensionally constructed n-HA scaffolds.Journal of periodontal & implant science 04/2011; 41(2):73-8.

Article: Isolation and characterization of human periodontal ligament (PDL) stem cells (PDLSCs) from the inflamed PDL tissue: in vitro and in vivo evaluations[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) could be isolated from healthy periodontal ligaments (PDL). The aims of this study were to isolate and characterize human PDL stem cells (hPDLSCs) from inflamed PDL tissue, and to evaluate their regenerative potential. Inflamed hPDLSCs (ihPDLSCs) were isolated from the inflamed PDL tissue obtained from intra-bony defects during flap surgery, and characterized by immunohistochemical staining, colony-forming unit assay, fluorescence-activated cell sorting, and mRNA expression in comparison with healthy hPDLSCs obtained from extracted teeth for orthodontic purpose. The proliferative potential and migratory potential was evaluated, and compared with healthy hPDLSCs. Regenerative potential was assessed by an in vivo ectopic transplantation model. ihPDLSCs were successfully isolated and characterized as MSCs. Both ihPDLSCs and hPDLSCs were successfully differentiated under osteogenic/cementogenic and adipogenic microenvironment. The proliferative potential did not differ between healthy hPDLSCs and ihPDLSCs, while the migratory capacity was significantly increased in ihPDLSCs (p<0.05). Both groups exhibited new cementum-like tissue and related PDL fibre regeneration in an in vivo transplantation model. ihPDLSCs could be successfully isolated from inflamed PDL tissue, and they retained the regenerative potential for cementum and related PDL tissues.Journal Of Clinical Periodontology 03/2011; 38(8):721-31.

Article: Effect of (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate on maintaining the periodontal ligament cell viability of avulsed teeth: a preliminary study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Avulsed tooth can be completely recovered, if sound periodontal ligament (PDL) of tooth is maintained. Although a lot of storage solutions have been explored for the better storage of avulsed tooth, there is a shortcoming that the preservation time is much short. On the other hand, there has been studies that (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the most abundant polyphenol in green tea, which is related to the anti inflammatory, antioxygenic, and antibacterial effects, allows the successful preservations of tissues and cells. This study evaluated the effect of EGCG on avulsed-teeth preservation of Beagle dogs for a period of time. The atraumatically extracted teeth of Beagle dogs were washed and preserved with 0/10/100 µM of EGCG at the time of immediate, period 1 (4 days in EGCG-contained media and additional 1 day in EGCG-free media), period 2 (8 days in EGCG-contained media and additional 2 days in EGCG-free media) and period 3 (12 days in EGCG-contained media and additional 2 days in EGCG-free media). Then, the cell viabilities of preserved teeth was calculated by dividing optical density (OD) of 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay with OD of eosin assay to eliminate the measurement errors caused by the different tissue volumes. From the results, the immediately analyzed group presented the highest cell viability, and the rate of living cells on teeth surface decreased dependent on the preservation period. However, the 100 µM of EGCG-treated group showed statistically significant positive cell activity than EGCG-free groups throughout preservation periods. Our findings showed that 100 µM EGCG could maintain PDL cell viability of extracted tooth. These results suggest that although EGCG could not be a perfect additive for tooth preservation, it is able to postpone the period of tooth storage. However, further in-depth studies are required for more plausible use of EGCG.Journal of periodontal & implant science 02/2011; 41(1):10-6. DOI:10.5051/jpis.2011.41.1.10

ABSTRACT: the aim of this study was to understand the cellular/molecular mechanisms of periodontal breakdown in a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model in mice to enhance the understanding of rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-associated alveolar bone loss in humans. all analyses were performed on paired samples from CIA and control group mice. Mandibles were retrieved for micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), histomorphometric analysis, and isolation of alveolar bone cells (ABCs). In vitro osteoclastogenic/osteogenic/adipogenic potentials of ABCs were evaluated and the mRNA expression of downstream effector genes was assessed. Bone formation of ABCs was assessed using an ectopic transplantation model. histomorphometric and micro-CT data showed that alveolar bone loss was significantly increased in the CIA group (p<0.05). Osteoclastogenesis was significantly increased in the CIA group in vivo (p<0.05), with upregulated mRNA expressions of osteoclastogenesis-associated genes. Osteoblasts appeared to undergo increased apoptosis, and the bone-forming activity of ABCs concomitantly decreased with in vitro osteogenic differentiation and in vivo ectopic transplantation (p<0.05). Also, adipogenesis-associated mRNA expression was highly expressed in the CIA group, resulting in significantly enhanced adipocyte differentiation in vitro (p<0.05). these data demonstrate that increased osteoclastic activity, decreased bone-forming activity and enhanced adipogenesis promote alveolar bone loss in a CIA model in mice, and they suggest that these mechanisms could account for the same outcome in human RA.Journal Of Clinical Periodontology 11/2010; 38(2):122-30.

This talc-based loose powder is meant to set Invisible Zinc's tinted moisturizer with sunscreen. Because the company's tinted moisturizer has a moist finish, you may want to set it with powder to tone down the shine. However, we cannot recommend this dry-finish powder because it contains lavender oil (and has a strong lavender fragrance). Lavender oil is an irritant that causes skin cell death and can enhance oxidative damage, which isn't what you want if your goal is to protect your skin from damage and signs of aging (Sources: Contact Dermatitis, September 2008, pages 143–150; and Cell Proliferation, June 2004, pages 221–229). Please see More Info below for details on why fragrance is bad for your skin.
This pure white powder goes on translucent and does what it's supposed to do when applied over a tinted moisturizer, but you can find better, less expensive options that don't irritate your skin on our Best Powders list.
More Info:
Irritation from fragrant plant oils, whether you see it on the surface of skin or not, causes inflammation and as a result impairs healing, damages collagen, and depletes vital substances your skin needs to stay young. For this reason, it is best to minimize or eliminate as much as possible your exposure to known skin irritants, especially considering there are brilliant formulas available that avoid these types of problematic ingredients.
Invisible Staying Powder is designed to set and fix Tinted Daywear and give a perfect natural finish. Melts into the skin so it's no longer visible, Invisible Staying Powder creates the most beautiful, natural complexion that lasts all day. The velvety texture is creamy and completely even and the lavender fragrance leaves skin luminous and fresh. No touch transfer, no covered-up powdery' look. Just natural looking beautiful skin, only you'll know you're wearing it.
Invisible Zinc At-a-Glance
Strengths: All SPF-rated products provide broad-spectrum protection via zinc oxide; the form of zinc oxide is micronized rather than nano-sized (there is some concern about the use of nanoparticles of zinc oxide, but the jury is still out on whether the concern is legitimate); good tinted moisturizer and stick foundation with sunscreen; good antioxidant serum; most of the products are fragrance-free.
Weaknesses: Most of their sunscreens do not look (or feel) invisible on skin, leaving a distinct white cast; no truly lightweight options for oily or acne-prone skin; their special cleanser to remove the zinc oxide doesn't work.
Invisible Zinc is focused on sun protection, using only zinc oxide as the active ingredient. Just like the mineral sunscreen ingredient titanium dioxide, zinc oxide provides broad-spectrum sun protection all by itself and is a great option for sensitive skin or for use around the eyes because neither zinc oxide nor titanium dioxide are likely to sting if you get them in your eyes, whereas other sunscreen actives (such as octinoxate or avobenzone) can cause stinging.
Hailing from (and sold primarily in) Australia, Invisible Zinc makes a big deal about the zinc oxide their sunscreens contain, way too big a deal. Although zinc oxide is an excellent sunscreen ingredient, it isn't the only one or the best option for all skin types. In fact, the large amount of zinc oxide Invisible Zinc typically includes in their products coats the skin with a thick, occlusive texture that can feel heavy and exacerbate a person's tendency to break out.
Where Invisible Zinc goes astray is their claim that they use micronized zinc oxide that is "invisible to the naked eye," but that's not the case—their sunscreens are glaringly visible on skin—there's no mistaking the slight to moderate white cast their products leave on your skin! Interestingly, we've seen many zinc oxide–based sunscreens that don't claim to be invisible on skin, but that show nary a trace of a white cast once blended on, but not any from this line.
If the fact that their regular sunscreens and their facial moisturizer with sunscreen are actually quite visible on skin isn't disappointing enough, almost all of these sunscreens feel uncomfortably thick and heavy, especially when applied to the face. Without question they provide reliable broad-spectrum protection, but the application is disappointing.
It also surprised us that supermodel and Australia native Elle Macpherson is the spokesperson for this brand, and that she's clearly sporting a tan on the company's Web site! In a classic example of mixed messages, Invisible Zinc wants you to know their products provide serious sun protection, but you can still get a tan! Granted that Elle's tan may be from a self-tanner, but they don't tell you that—all you see is a gorgeously tan and bikinied Elle.
We had such high hopes for this brand. Many of our Australian readers ask us about it, and we're always thrilled when we find brilliant sunscreens to recommend. It's just that for these products, while the sun protection is assuredly there, the aesthetics fall short. One last comment: We would have rated Invisible Zinc higher if their products contained a good array of antioxidants. Research has made it clear that antioxidants help boost skin's environmental defenses and make sunscreens even more effective.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 11/2/12
The St. Louis Cardinals' influx of power arms, both at the big-league level and in the minors, is a switch from recent years, or perhaps in a very long time. Even with right-hander Kyle Lohse likely to sign elsewhere as a free agent, the Cardinals will have five veteran starters returning: right-handers Chris Carpenter, Adam Wainwright, Jake Westbrook and Lance Lynn, plus left-hander Jaime Garcia. However, late in the season and in the postseason, the Cardinals unleashed the likes of 22-year-old right-handers Trevor Rosenthal and Shelby Miller and 24-year-old Joe Kelly, all of whom can throw between 95 and 100 mph, with Rosenthal reaching 101 on occasion. In the postseason, all three worked out of the bullpen, although Kelly made 16 starts during the season and Miller started the last regular-season game. All of them started in the minors. Rosenthal especially was impressive in October, striking out 15 and allowing no runs in 8 2/3 postseason innings. There are several more ...

Mariann had recently brought her son to see the wrestler and had the polar-opposite experience.
A Los Angeles judge revoked her probation and Lohan was brought to jail, although she was released later that day on bail.
On Election Night in 2006, Rahm brought his whole family to DCCC headquarters in Washington.
Old English bringan "to bring, bring forth, produce, present, offer" (past tense brohte, past participle broht), from Proto-Germanic *brenganan (cf. Old Frisian brenga, Middle Dutch brenghen, Old High German bringan, Gothic briggan); no exact cognates outside Germanic, but it appears to be from PIE root *bhrengk-, compound based on root *bher- (1) "to carry" (cf. Latin ferre; see infer).
The tendency to conjugate this as a strong verb on the model of sing, drink, etc., is ancient: Old English also had a rare strong past participle form, brungen, corresponding to modern colloquial brung. To bring down the house figuratively (1754) is to elicit applause so thunderous it collapses the roof.

Alera Strada Series Mid-Back Swivel and Tilt Chair
Cathy Sunderland from Bagley,MN – Verified Buyer
This is the perfect office chair, or just your home computer chair. It is easy to put together, and the firmness and back support are perfect. I have a lower back problem, and it's hard for me to sit at long lengths at a time. With this chair, there's NO question. I can now sit all day at my computer desk. The seat is also made for your comfort, but the back support is TRULY amazing! You will never be sorry for investing in this chair!
Great Chair!
Nancy from Crossville, TN – Verified Buyer
After going through many sites & getting confused over reviews of many desk chairs, I decided on this one and I'm so glad I did! This chair is used in th study at my home. It is very confortable and so far holding up well. I've purchased from Wayfair in the past & am glad I did it again.

MySQL 5.0, 5.1 and Innodb Plugin CPU Efficiency
We've recently done benchmarks comparing different MySQL versions in terms of their CPU efficiently in TPC-C like Workload. We did it couple of weeks ago so MySQL 5.0.67, MySQL 5.1.29 and Innodb Plugin 1.0.1 were used which are not very recent, though we do not think results will differ a lot with today versions.
Internals of InnoDB mutexes
InnoDB uses its own mutexes and read-write locks instead of POSIX-mutexes pthread_mutex*, the main reason for that is performance, but InnoDB's implementation isn't ideal and on modern SMP boxes can cause serious performance problems. Let's look on InnoDB mutex (schematic for simplification):
Scaling problems still exist in MySQL 5.5 and Percona Server 5.5

Fraghouse Invasion version 5Jan 26, 2014 Full Version 2 comments
Well, it's finally here! We worked (moderately) hard to bring you this before certain people would no longer be available, so here it is! What is Fraghouse...
Fraghouse Invasion is a large collection of new maps, weapons, monsters, skins, models and a variety of other content that has been built from one code twist of the original Invasion. It takes the normal Invasion gametype and gives it a few subtle tweaks that make immense gameplay changes. Monsters are spawned at specific locations rather than player starts, meaning the players can start in a fort structure as a defence from the oncoming hordes of monsters! Version 4 features many new maps, Kung Fu and Impact Hammer melee weapons, Map Monsters (configurable monsters for each map), FHIEXP (a small but fun EXP system), many bug fixes and new monsters and weapons, for example the Spikeball and the Flamethrower.
No news has been posted here. If you have relevant news to share you should post it now.

I think a lot of the nerdfury over the Sword & Sorcery edition of Gamma World came about because WoTC had recently dropped the Alternity line, and that version of Gamma World had some quite serious potential to be an excellent science fiction game. It was probably the least gonzo of any of the editions of the rules.
But then we've always played Gamma World as a serious science fiction game (albeit with amusing incidents), set quite some time after the apocalypse. Civilization (and the problems therein are returning to the world(s)), and most people know how to use the technology they discover, but don't generally know how to make the technology and survive off surviving caches. Add in aliens with fully functioning tech, bioengineered anthropomorphic animals, designer retroviruses (the sources of mutations rather than radiation), and the occasional functioning computer system...

Keeping business, appliances running
Appliance repair is a family tradition for the McKee family — with Jason McKee following in the footsteps of his father, Dennis Jr., and his grandfather, Dennis Sr.
McKee, owner of Jason's Appliance Repair, has been in the business since 1991.
He started out working in his dad's shop, Appliance Doctor. But he really became interested in the trade following his grandfather around.
"I took an interest at a young age with my grandfather," he said.
"I got my refrigerant license, and I take classes in Oklahoma City just to stay current," he continued. "You know things change. I keep updated for the new stuff that is coming out."
Like many young men, he was interested in becoming a police officer — and he even took classes to become one — but he decided on appliance repair.
"I just pursued more of an appliance career," he said, "I thought it was a better long-term career."
And it enabled him to spend more time with this wife, Celia, even before they married.
She quickly learned the trade, and they work as a team.
"I kind of got thrown into it," she said, "but I like it. It is nice having a trade."
McKee said he has a strong work ethic, which he said he developed from his dad.
"It had to be my dad where I got my work ethic. He used to work 10 or 12 hours a day," McKee said.
And he said the business is not always an 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. job.
"Our operating hours are 8 to 5, but there are exceptions," he said. "I will come out anytime to fix a refrigerator that can't wait, and on holidays, especially on Thanksgiving and Christmas."
Customers don't have to wait long to have their appliances repaired, he stressed.
"We are also the fastest company in town that services appliances," he said. "Definitely most all the time on the same day. The only time we don't have it fixed in one day is if we have to order parts. And there is no wait time on parts with us, and shipping is free," he said.
"I am up front about any repairs. If something is damaged, I show it to them and explain how it needs to be repaired."
They show their appreciation to customers by giving a 10 percent discount for seniors and the military.
Jason's Appliance Repair has an A rating with the Better Business Bureau, and staff travel up to 25 miles outside Wichita Falls for service calls.
