Music programming, live and recorded, has been a mainstay of British radio since its inception and constitutes a substantial proportion of the Library's audio collections.
Jazz and dance band
The earliest popular music radio recordings are short excerpts from pre-war programmes in which dance bands relayed live from London hotels and restaurants. It was not until the late 1930s, as war loomed, that a British desire to foster Anglo-American relations gave urgency to experiments with transatlantic broadcasts, such as Alistair Cooke's American Jam Session (1938-39), and the series America Dances, among the first to be recorded for posterity. Soon after, the need to provide entertainment for American troops abroad led to the pre-recording of programmes on disc for shipping to Armed Forces Network stations in the field, resulting in a valuable heritage of transcription discs (1942-) and military-issue V-Discs (1942-49) from a period when American record company activity had been largely suspended. The Alan Dell Collection (catalogue no: C923) also includes wartime transcriptions featuring stars such as Glenn Miller and Frank Sinatra, as well as the great British dance bands and vocalists of the post-war era. Several Voice of America collections (catalogue nos: C50, C1185, C1248) feature recordings from the Newport Jazz Festivals of 1956-59 and Willis Conover's famous Jazz Hour.
Highlight of the Krahmer-Newbrook Collection (catalogue no: C1126) is a legacy of almost every British jazz and blues programme aired nationally from 1947 to 1976, including all the key session based series:
- Jazz Club (1947-)
- Ted Heath Show (late 1940s-)
- Let's Settle for Music (Kenny Baker's weekly series, 1952-1958)
- Break for Jazz (1957-)
- Jazz Session (1957-)
- Music in the Modern Manner (1959-)
- Jazz 625 (TV audio, 1964-)
- It's Jazz (1964-)
- The Jazz Scene (1966-)
- Jazz Beat (1966-)
- Jazz Workshop (1969-)
Although the quality of Carlo Krahmer's recordings deteriorated with his failing eyesight in the mid-60s, other recordists and collectors carried his mission through to the 1980s, including Alan Newby (catalogue no: C782) (1950s-1966), Horace Harris (catalogue no: C651) (1963-81), Steve Piltz (catalogue no: C1022) (1970s), Norman Jenkinson (catalogue no: C889) (1970s-early 80s) and Michael Gerzon (catalogue no: C236) (1970s-80s). Collections donated or originated by musicians naturally focus on their own work and sometimes their associates – Mike Westbrook (catalogue no: C602), Bob Cornford (catalogue no: C656), and Howard Riley (catalogue no: C461) for example – allowing a more detailed and balanced examination of their performance and compositional history than is possible from published recordings alone.
Researchers can also explore an extensive BBC transcription disc collection, including a memorable series of works commissioned from visiting American composer William Russo in the 1960s, recordings from the Wavendon Jazz Festivals (1970s-), and a wide range of themed documentaries. The contributions of key regional and independent broadcasters can be discovered in extensive Capital Radio (catalogue no: C628) and BBC Radio London (catalogue no: C385) collections, both focusing on the major London jazz festivals of the 1970s-80s.
Rounding out this unusually comprehensive music radio collection is the British Library's own digital off-air recording programme, which selected most session or interview-based programming from 1985-1997, more recent transmissions being available on request from the BBC Sound Archive.
Post-war popular music
As the post-war 'baby boom' generation approached adolescence in the late 1950s, the increasing popularity of the singles chart and the rise of rock and roll created a surge of interest in pop record-based programming. Its development can be tracked through a mixture of published recordings, unpublished transcription discs and off-air recordings spanning the heyday of American country music at the Grand Ole Opry (Mike Head Collection (catalogue no: C178)) (1940s-50s) to the contemporary urban, soul and pop scenes.
Although much of Britain's music radio of the 50s and 60s has been lost, the Krahmer-Newbrook Collection (catalogue no: C1126) does trace some key early developments: the 1950s skiffle boom, the belated arrival of black American blues and gospel in the early 60s, and its crucial role in the rise of the British rhythm and blues bands. While published CD anthologies have rounded up the radio sessions of many of the era's key bands, an extensive collection of BPI Anti-Piracy Unit bootleg vinyl is peppered with otherwise unobtainable material from both British and overseas radio sources of the 1960s-80s.
Students may also wish to investigate the BBC transcription disc collections, where retrospectives such as The Sixties at the Beeb typically examine the historical contributions of particular artists, labels or producers, or the evolution of particular styles, often with the aid of specially-recorded interviews and commentary. By the early 1970s, concert programming, notably Radio 1's In Concert, was also being retained on transcription discs, many of which have never been released commercially.
Independent and local radio programming is also available, including a small but interesting selection of General Post Office tapes (catalogue no: G6) which shed light on the once-influential offshore pirate radio stations. A vast Capital Radio Collection (catalogue no: C628) preserves hundreds of concerts and interviews in programme masters ranging from the station's 1973 inauguration through to the mid-80s. Other independent/regional productions will be found in the AIRC Programme Sharing Scheme (catalogue no: C1000) and Unique Broadcasting (catalogue no: C974) collections.
Broadcasters and private collectors have made more personal contributions, including Charlie Gillett (catalogue no: C510), whose donation includes programmes and interview inserts for his acclaimed 1970s Radio London series Honky Tonk, while two Kenny Everett collections, one deposited by the pioneering DJ himself (catalogue no: C723), reveal the methodical preparation that went into his creatively original BBC and Capital Radio shows. Michael Gerzon (catalogue no: C236) added new wave/avant-rock sessions of the mid-70s to 1980s.
The British Library's own off-air recording programme selected most national programming with session or concert content from the mid-80s until the late 90s. Popular music and media students often need to assess the music or programming in its wider historical and cultural context, and this is where the chief value of the British Library's unedited programme collection may lie. Here, uniquely, almost 2,000 John Peel programmes preserve the sessions exactly as they were originally transmitted, with all of the presenter's commentary and the interspersed gramophone records ('needletime') intact. The breadth of the audio collections, accompanied by a vast array of book, periodical, discographic and thesis literature, together constitute Europe's most comprehensive resource for the study of popular music radio.

It had semi-sheer, even color coverage, and over my natural lip color, it looked more like a warmer, pink-coral but not an orange-y shade at all. This shade lasted three and a half hours on me. Chanel Sonate (178) (P, $29.50) is slightly pinker. MAC Drawn in Chic (LE, $15.00) is brighter, lighter. Marc Jacobs Beauty Paint It (202) (P, $28.00) is brighter, more pigmented. MAC Fever Isle (LE, $20.00) is more shimmery, brighter. Revlon Papaya (P, $7.49) is more shimmery. NARS Viva (LE, $26.00) is slightly darker. MAC Ravishing (LE, $15.00) is more muted. MAC Star Quality (LE, $20.00) is pinker. Guerlain Candy Stripe (P, $30.00) is warmer, slightly darker. See comparison swatches.

If the results of your Beryllium Lymphocyte Proliferation Test (BeLPT) determine that you have become sensitized to beryllium, you should consider consulting a private health care provider about undergoing further medical evaluation and additional medical tests. This will help determine if you have a health problem and if it is Chromic Beryllium Disease (CBD).
A health care provider who is familiar with Chronic Beryllium Disease should ask you questions about your health and perform a comprehensive evaluation, with special emphasis on your lungs. The function of your lungs may be tested by exercise tolerance testing, a much more sophisticated version of spirometry (the breathing test in which you blow into a tube). If the degrees of change to your lungs is still uncertain, you may be offered a high-resolution CT scan or other imaging study to take a picture of your lungs. One procedure that may be recommended is called a bronchoscopy, which allows a doctor to look directly into your lungs with a fiberoptic device. The doctor passes a flexible tube through your nose into your throat and windpipes, which, using the fiber-optic "eye," inspects the lungs. Some cells (lumphocytes) will be washed out and later tested to see if they are sensitized to beryllium. The doctor can also take small sampled of tissue called biopsies; these samples are then examined at a laboratory to look for evidence of Chronic Beryllium Disease.
Before the bronchocopy, you will be given a local anesthetic to numb both your nose and throat. During the procedure, you may be given a relaxant intravenously to keep you more comfortable. The bronchoscopy tube will be passed through your nose into your throat and then gradually lowered to explore your windpipes and lungs. The test takes about 30-60 minutes. Most people tolerate it well.
When you go for the procedure, you may be given a fact sheet that discusses it further and lists the unlikely but possible risks associated with the procedure. You should be asked to sign a consent form. Of course, you can refuse to have any procedure at any time.
You should talk with the doctor immediately after the procedure and again when the laboratory results are back. Please ask the doctor any questions you have about the procedures and the results.
The course of Chronic Beryllium Disease is variable, ranging from a stable condition controllable with prescription medications to a poorly controlled, progressive condition that is debilitating. Progressive, poorly controlled CBD can be fatal. It is not possible to predict how CBD will affect a particular individual.
Some people can be diagnosed with the disease but have no symptoms. If you do not have any symptoms, you probably will not require treatment and Chronic Beryllium Disease will probably have little effect on your life. Even so, you should see a health care professional regularly to monitor the disease.
Treatment with a group of drugs called corticosteroids ("steroids"), such as prednisone, may be advised for those with symptoms of, or breathing tests that show Chronic Beryllium Disease. (These "steroids" are not the same as the ones you hear about athletes using.) Corticosteroids reduce inflammation and are believed to help keep the condition from progressing. Any decision to use steroids or any other medications should be made after discussing possible side effects with your doctor.
Any person with a lung condition, including Chronic Beryllium Disease, may benefit from pneumonia and flu vaccinations and early treatment of respiratory infections.
If you smoke cigarettes, try to STOP. This is especially important for those with lung disease. Exposure to beryllium may increase a person's chances of getting lung cancer. It is important to eliminate additional lung cancer risks such as smoking.
If your BeLPT results are confirmed reactive, the Office of Occupational Medicine will notify your Regional Administrator or National Office Director who can follow the procedure in the CSHO Medical Examination program to request an appropriate accommodation for you.
Chronic Beryllium Disease occurs only in people who have been exposed to beryllium, so most primary care healthcare providers have not had the opportunity to treat individuals with CBD. For this reason, you may wish to consult a health care provider who is familiar with Chromic Beryllium Disease. Be sure to check if your medical insurance covers any health care provider visits that you schedule, although you may be eligible for medical coverage under the Workers' Compensation Program if you are sensitized to beryllium or if you are diagnosed with Chromic Beryllium Disease.
Most exposures to beryllium occur in the workplace. However, there are documented cases in which beryllium-sensitization and/or Chronic Beryllium Disease have occurred in persons with no known occupational exposure to beryllium.

First Thing
Marlboro Man had mercy on us this morning and allowed us to sleep in until 5:30—a veritable lifetime of extra sleep when you consider the clocks were originally set for 4:15. I've never loved 5:30 as much as I did this morning. I would have kissed it, borne its children, and married it if it had been at all possible.
Not necessarily in that order.
What kind of girl do you take me for?
Once we arrived at the remote pasture, Marlboro Man had to hurry. Cowboy Josh and Cowboy Matthew were sooking the pasture of cattle toward the gate about a mile away and Marlboro Man and the kids had to ride out and bring up the herd from the rear.
To complicate matters, Marlboro Man discovered, once he led the horses out of the trailer, that he'd put the wrong saddles on two of the kids' horses.
Marlboro Man is never haphazard or careless when it comes to which children ride which horse. He keeps tabs on the horses, paying close attention to which ones are tired or bucky or otherwise uncooperative…and he switches around the kids according to their skill level. So he swapped out the saddles right there on the spot.
"Whaaaat?' Buddy asked. "I ain't tho uncooperative theeth dayth!"
If it's all the same to you, Buddy, I'll go ahead and trust your master on this one. Aren't YOU the one that bucked me off a couple of years ago because I didn't feed you enough oats that morning?
I thought so.
(I know how to shut Buddy down.)
By the time Marlboro Man got all the cinches tightened, he knew they were going to have to break into a serious lope once they entered the pasture…
So he decided he'd have to leave my baby—and Peso—behind.
My baby was not devastated.
He had some logs to saw in the pickup.
Peso, on the other hand…Peso had a bit of an existential meltdown.
Horses are happiest when they have purpose.
They're very unlike my baby in that respect.

Looks like a beautiful morning in Okalhoma today.
We had a storm here this morning but the sun is out right now.
More rain to come tonight along with thunder and lightening.
Enjoy your beautiful day.
Abbie D On Friday, July 31 at 12:23 pm
I feel sad for Peso. Sweet thing…
granny On Friday, July 31 at 12:23 pm
Beautiful pictures, as always! I don't envy you the 5:30am wakeup call, though!
Mindee@ourfrontdoor On Friday, July 31 at 12:23 pm
I love a horse with purpose. Poor Peso. Maybe you could rope Charlie off of him when you get home?
Sandy Hill On Friday, July 31 at 12:23 pm
I bet Peso could have done it all by himself with no rider. I bet he even tried to tell you that. Have a great day!
Meg On Friday, July 31 at 12:26 pm
Hey, horses need a day off too, right?
Woodsie On Friday, July 31 at 12:27 pm
I think MM is a good man. I'm glad you've got him!
This comment doesn't really belong here, but I have to tell you that I went to the doctor this week and there was a woman much older than I am wearing an empire top with a tie in the back (old-style maternity top). When she sat down, I noticed that she might be expecting twins, but said nothing. (Could have been two rolls of fat, who knows?) When I got on the elevator to leave, a 20-ish, beautiful woman got on wearing a skin-tight shirt that showed an eight-months pregnant belly (my guess). She was waddling, so I really believe she was pregnant. Again, I said nothing, but I thought of you the whole time!!! I really think people just have their clothes mixed up these days…
Thanks for the lesson, but it was hard not to laugh out loud when I saw those two. Now that would have been highly inappropriate!
Heather Kay On Friday, July 31 at 12:27 pm
Peso, He's my kind of guy!
Alison @ cluck and tweet On Friday, July 31 at 12:27 pm
I'm thinking they could have done this work without you. Except the pictures wouldn't have been as great. Love the horses. http://www.cluckandtweet.com

Awww I just love your stories Ree.
And I even mentioned you in my post today, and realized very quickly that everyone and I do mean EVERYONE loves you as much as I do…

Aaawww! Peso looks so sad!

THAT'S WHAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING!!! A "bit of an existential meltdown." But it has lasted for days, weeks, hell even months!!
I live vicariously through your blog!! Alas I have not been able to leave the house!! OH WOA IS ME!!!
Amber On Friday, July 31 at 12:30 pm
I felt exactly the same way about 5:30 this morning, as both my kids decided to let me sleep until 5:34 instead of their usual 5:02! It's the little things in life…
Big Blue House Momma On Friday, July 31 at 12:31 pm
Jealous of the beautiful land and the horses…….*NOT* jealous of your 5:30 wake up time!
jjk On Friday, July 31 at 12:31 pm
Poor Peso.
If the workday begins at 4 or 5am, what time does it end?
What does everyone do the rest of the day?
We know you are busy, but does everyone else get a nap time?
Carolyn Online On Friday, July 31 at 12:31 pm
Can't you just tie the horse's leash to the back bumper and let her run behind you?
Also, unrelated to exercising your horse – regarding Twitter, try Tweetree too. Not as good as TweetDeck to me but it shows all the pics and links in the stream so no clicking!
Angela On Friday, July 31 at 12:32 pm
Too bad Peso couldn't catch some ZZZZZ's in the van too! lol
Dee Thompson On Friday, July 31 at 12:32 pm
I feel so sorry for Peso – looks like he's thinking 'AW c'mon! You put this saddle on me and all I get to do is watch a sleeping kid?!"
austin goddess On Friday, July 31 at 12:32 pm
Poor Peso! All dressed up and no place to go…..
Helen G. On Friday, July 31 at 12:33 pm
I hope Peso and the baby got to go help out after MM and the bigger kids got back from their gallop to get the cows…
Peso looks so forlorn.
Kate S On Friday, July 31 at 12:34 pm
Poor Peso…
what a cutey of a horse
Mariah On Friday, July 31 at 12:34 pm
Great pics, I agree poor Peso he does look a little sad and left out.
redhead.kate On Friday, July 31 at 12:34 pm
Poor Peso…maybe he can find meaning in the horse trailer, like he could become a famous horse model and have someone take pictures of him and post them all over the internet. Oh wait, did he already do that?
Tamara On Friday, July 31 at 12:34 pm
Wow! That IS early!
Half Assed Kitchen On Friday, July 31 at 12:36 pm
How do you take such nice shots so early in the morning?
redhead.kate On Friday, July 31 at 12:36 pm
But a bit of an existential meltdown is better than a lay down in the middle of the floor (or store) meltdown. Especially for a horse.
Theresa On Friday, July 31 at 12:36 pm
I don't know how youall get up so early. I'd never make a country girl even though when I was a kid I thought that would be the life. No wonder he had the saddles on the wrong horses, I can't even see that early! I bet sleeping in for MM is 7am. Nice photos.
Bev On Friday, July 31 at 12:38 pm
Great pix, Ree. Makes me happy just reading your blog and looking at the pix.
Kelly On Friday, July 31 at 12:38 pm
I sure don't like that gettin' up early! I've got a duck that's quacking outside my bedroom window every morning at 5. She may have to go!
Susan A On Friday, July 31 at 12:38 pm
"Oh what a beautiful morning…..Oh what a beautiful day"
It's a rainy day in Georgia…..So laundry is calling me.

Not that we're anywhere near retirement but what do you do if say when you get to that point none of the punks want to run the Ranch? just curious
I love to know how it's going on the ranch, I wouldn't want to get up early and do it, but I love seeing your pictures! Thanks
MichelleG On Friday, July 31 at 12:42 pm
Poor Peso…I would have loved to help him out this morning!
Tabitha (From Single to Married) On Friday, July 31 at 12:44 pm
You have such beautiful horses! And it looks like a nice day out there too. Although I agree with you – 5:30 is awfully early!

Stephanie On Friday, July 31 at 12:47 pm
Aww, Peso. Nothing is worse than getting left behind by the rest of your friends. It's like not getting picked for kickball. That herd mentality has its downside…..
Screwed Up Texan On Friday, July 31 at 12:48 pm
I never even thought about how one would write sook. Now I know…and this post was beautiful of course. I havnt ridden a horse since college when I got bucked off (actually, I just jumped off).
Gabrielle Valentine On Friday, July 31 at 12:48 pm
Oh my, 5:30am. I'm thinking 7:30am is bad, and then I read this. Wow. There must be a lot of work that goes on between all family members to make a ranch work. Yet, it seems a simpler life, in a way.
Summur Braley On Friday, July 31 at 12:50 pm
love the pic of the side view of the horse trailer…………….you are a gifted artist Ree!
Heather On Friday, July 31 at 12:51 pm
What I love about this story is that it's just exactly what was going on today… that you're able to document how lovely (and funny) the every day stuff is. I have a brand new (to me) dslr and I'm hoping to catch those sweet little moments in my family.
Reenie On Friday, July 31 at 12:52 pm
Ahhh Sweet story.
dandy On Friday, July 31 at 12:52 pm
I never thought about having to watch the horses and switch the kids around, or switch the horses around.
I do love how helpful you were while they hussled to get ready

Gwynne On Friday, July 31 at 12:56 pm
I remember my Daddy sooking the cows at night to come feed. What great memories. I thought it was just his own personal call, but I guess even cows need a universal language – HA.

Sook sook sook!
Jan On Friday, July 31 at 12:58 pm
All these other comments are about your beautiful horses and beautiful scenery and your sweet baby. But I just have to say how much it touched me that MM knows each of your kids' abilities and watches out for them on the horses so that they are matched with the right animal. That is an awesome daddy.
MelissaH-from So. Fla On Friday, July 31 at 12:59 pm
I love when you write about MM, the kids and their journey each day….of course I like what you do to…don't get me wrong But there is something about hard workin' kids that put a smile on my face….oh and a guy wearing Wranglers too! he he
Chris B. On Friday, July 31 at 1:01 pm
It kills me that your pictures look so good. I still can't get things in motion to come out clear… I need some new gear.
Cheryl Barker On Friday, July 31 at 1:01 pm
Can't imagine being thankful for 5:30 — even that sounds like torture to me!
Jocelyn Stott On Friday, July 31 at 1:01 pm
Great photos. I never get tired of your horse photos – they are so beautiful.
Farmgirl Kerri On Friday, July 31 at 1:01 pm
LOL…it took me a second when you said the cowboys were sooking the cows. I grew up in the city…so when I first heard this cattle call I thought my husband kept saying…Suck cow, comeon (that is blended) cow, suck, suck suck….I am sure he looked at me like I was a moron, but nonetheless, he married me! This sooking is particularly funny when you're three year old "one up's" you!!

But I am a city chick and I have absolutely no clue what "SOOK" means…
Lorrie On Friday, July 31 at 1:08 pm
Awesome, I want to stretch out and take a nap in the field.. What happens if your alarm doesn't go off
Taylor Malinauskas On Friday, July 31 at 1:10 pm
Love your pictures!
Amber On Friday, July 31 at 1:10 pm
Poor Peso! All dressed up with no place to go! (But I am so glad your baby didn't have to "wope" this morning!
I don't like to lope either, come to think of it… As a matter of fact, the last time I was on a horse was on a cruise excursion in Cozumel… My horse was named "Malo"…. Apparently in Spanish that means "bad"!
Taylor Malinauskas On Friday, July 31 at 1:10 pm
love your pictures! You are so good!
Steph T. On Friday, July 31 at 1:11 pm
Poor Peso! What a gorgeous day to be outside. Unfortunately…I'm in cubicle land.

Tracy C On Friday, July 31 at 1:14 pm
I may not live on a ranch or help herd cattle, but my day starts at 5:00 a.m. so I can totally relate to being thrilled with a little bit of extra sleep in the morning.
Poor Peso! What a beauty.
Emmy On Friday, July 31 at 1:15 pm
I'm gathering that sooking is a sound you make to call cows? Google was no help and I'm a city girl…
Becky from MN On Friday, July 31 at 1:15 pm
Poor Peso – getting left behind Lucky boy who got to sleep in the pickup! It was a rainy mess for riding in Minnesota yesterday – but today – oh today would be so great if only I wasn't at work – or at the county fair!
Courtney B. On Friday, July 31 at 1:15 pm
What a wonderful way to spend a morning! To spend my morning riding horses I think I could get up at o'dark thirty. Well…maybe…

My baby girl, who is hardly a baby now at 9 years old, would gladly take the place of your baby and lope through the pastures. She LIVES for horses. Poor deprived child was born to a couple city folks who own a postage stamp sized lot. But she does get riding lessons, and now she's starting to learn how to jump! However, I'm pretty sure she'd trade me in for life on the ranch any day. Let me know if you need any free help – she'll jump on an airplane and be right there!

Yeah, those herd animals get pretty darn antsy when they're cut out of the herd. Who knows where those other horses are going? Maybe to eat some yummy bran mash. And being alone and at the mercy of some roving band of coyotes? Gaaaaaa! GET ME OUTTA HERE!!! I can see it in poor Peso's eyes.

Stem Cell Treatment for Parkinsons Disease
At Stem Cell Treatment Institute advanced stem cell procedures are performed at some of the most scientifically advanced hospitals in the world.
Stem cell therapy is focused on affecting physical changes in the brain that can improve a patient's quality of life.
Parkinsons patients can be treated by lumbar puncture (injecting the cells into the cerebrospinal fluid), IV, or other techniques.
Typically this is an outpatient procedure. however patients may stay for 4 or 5 nights in our suites during the process.
Treatment using autologous (patient source) or donor cells (placenta) are available
If Autologous Bone Marrow is used bone marrow is collected from the patient's iliac crest (hip bone) using thin-needle puncture under local anesthesia. Once the bone marrow collection is complete, patients may return to their suite or hotel and go about normal activities.
The stem cells are then processed in a state-of-the-art laboratory. In the lab, both the quantity and quality of the stem cells are measured. The stem cells are then implanted back into the patient by lumbar puncture or IV.
Stem cell treatments begin around $13,500 (adults).

We offer Stem Cell treatments with enhanced or manipulated stem cells. These expanded and mobilized stem cells have been found to provide better results than non-manipulated stem cell applications.
Manipulation or amplification of the stem cells is done in the lab, where care is taken to retain the cell properties. These expanded and mobilized cells provide superior results and cell recovery has been found to occur twice as fast as with non-manipulated stem cell applications.
Studies where both types of cells were used show that results were quicker and were obtained predominantly from the manipulated stem cells.
Stem Cells can come from the patient�s fat or bone marrow, but stem cells from donor placenta or umbilical cord blood is also available and may have improved benefits. Donor characteristics (i.e., age) play a key role in treatment success. Your individual situation will be considered and suitable options will be discussed.
As we age our stem cells become less effective. For this reason younger cells are often preferred. We do not need to go all the way back to an early stage embryo to get young cells. Young
cord blood cells
can be used from The Placenta, Umbilical Cord, and other young sources. These cord blood cells are more likely than stem cells found in bone marrow to have proliferative properties. This means that stem cells found in cord blood have a greater ability to regenerate.
Depending on budget, condition, age and other factors the best solution can be determined. Sometimes young cells are placed directly into an organ, other times a simple IV with cells harvested from your own bone marrow will do just fine. We can help you make this decision.

The Prescott Daily Courier features Parkinson's Patient, Aubra Phillips
December 2, 2009
Going abroad for health care: Stem cell surgery gave man desire to live - by Bruce Colbert
PRESCOTT, AZ - Two years ago, Aubra "Phil" Phillips just about had enough of living with Parkinson's disease.
"I was about ready to commit suicide," he said from his Prescott Valley home. "I was stumbling around, falling, had the shakes and I slurred my words." Today, after two stem cell transplant surgeries, Phil walks and talks like any other healthy, articulate 59-year-old grandfather. "I noticed a change the very first day after his first operation," said his wife Donna, who watched Parkinson's disease steadily eat at Phil's body and mind for the past 22 years. "He didn't shuffle anymore and he smiled again."
According to the National Institutes for Health, Parkinson's disease is a chronic, degenerative neurological disorder. There is no definitive test for Parkinson's disease and its symptoms are similar to other neurological conditions, which causes a high rate of misdiagnosis, according to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research website.
Doctors treat Parkinson's victims with a smorgasbord of medication, vitamins and exercises.
"You have to take some pills for the disease, and then you have to take more pills to counteract the side effects of the other pills," Phil said. "Pretty soon, you're taking pills for fake diseases that were created by the other pills."
Certain brain cells produce a chemical called dopamine. Dopamine is a chemical messenger that transmits signals within the brain to control coordination. When those cells die, causing Parkinson's symptoms, doctors give patients drugs that cause brain cells to produce dopamine.
However, because there is no cure for Parkinson's, drugs mask symptoms without curing the disease. Symptoms include tremors, balance problems, lack of facial expressions and slow movements. The disease usually starts on one side of the body and migrates to the other. "I was relatively happy and we were dealing with it until it started on my other side," Phil said. After Phil's son, Michael, told him that he did not want Phil to carry his granddaughters anymore because of his balance problems, he started researching alternative methods.
"The treatment uses my stem cells taken from my hip," Phil said. "Everyone thinks of embryonic stem cells, but that's not the only kind that can be used."
Phil and Donna flew to get the treatment in December 2008 for via a lumbar puncture operation. He returned recently from his second operation. Surgery requires a patient to stay for four to five days.
"The first day, they took the cells from my hip," he said. "We spent the next couple of days at the hotel sightseeing, and then you go back and they inject the cells into your spinal fluid. You have to rest for 36 hours and then go back for a final check up." Donna said that humor is the couple's best weapon against Phil's disease.
"It's all about your attitude," Phil said. "There are no guarantees this operation works for everyone and the doctors tell you that. "It was a long shot, but it was worth it."
"It was like turning a light bulb back on," Donna said. "He's laughing and smiling again. He wakes up every morning in a good mood. He started bowling and joined a league."
Donna said that going to a Parkinson's support group gave the couple hope and tools to deal with Phil's disease. In spite of his disease, Phil worked as a heavy equipment operator until he retired in 2002. However, he is now helping the Prescott Valley Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10227 build a VFW Hall.
"Before, I was angry at everything and put a lot of stress on my wife," Phil said. "Now, I enjoy being awake and taking care of the house for her."
Autologous Adult Stem Cell Transplantation in patients with Parkinsons
"Of 75 Patients 36 reported clinical improvements."
Study Results
Our team and their associates have evaluated tens of thousands of stem cell treatment candidates over the past 25 years. They have treated over 10,000 patients.
Located in the heart of the stem cell research capital of the world, San Diego, California, we work hand in hand with top research centers. Even though some stem cell research is being conducted in the U.S., most stem cell implementation must take place outside of the country. We are strategically located to take advantage of both.
We currently have available treatments with stem cells utilizing patient bone marrow and younger donor sources. Treatments are available in the following areas:
Breast Cancer
Prostate Cancer
Spinal Cord Injury
Parkinsons Disease
Autoimmune disease
Cerebral Palsy
Heart Failure
Multiple Sclerosis
Alzheimers Disease
, and
, just to mention a few.
It is believed that by the practical application of stem cells, the need for liver, kidney and heart transplants can be reduced dramatically. In addition, a cure for diabetes, nerve restoration and the extension of ones life expectancy by more than 50 years are on the horizon.

text: Has anyone taken or is taking Cymbalta :?: The doctor just put me on it today. For a week I am to take 30mg in the morning and then increase to 60mg after that. She wanted to put me on Plaquenil but I had a horrible skin reaction to it so that is out of the question............it sure did help the joint pain :( She took me off of flexiril and amitriptyline. So, in the morning I am taking theophylline for my asthma, lisinopril for BP, folic acid, cymbalta and celebrex. At night I am on lyrica, tramidol, lybrel, folic acid and bactrim. Every Monday I take .6cc of methotrexate, it used to be .7cc but she dropped it a bit :) Just wonder if anyone has any advice on all of it :wink:

Revolving Door is a treasure trove
Walk through the door — into The Revolving Door — and colors jump out immediately.
It is a riot of bright reds, royal blues, emerald greens and that creamy white only old porcelain has. Almost every surface in the store is covered with eye-catching treasures, most of them collected one at a time by shop owner Emily Montoya.
"I've hit yard sales all over the state of New Mexico," said Montoya, who has been collecting her inventory for more than 30 years.
She lived with a lot of it and stored the rest in her garage before opening The Revolving Door Thrift Boutique last summer.
"About 90 percent is mine," she said. "I'm still getting stuff out of my garage."
Fine bone china cups pour into old, colored bottles of every shape and size. A heavy, sculpted wooden giraffe's head surveys sets of Superman napkins and a framed needlepoint still life.
Delicate hummingbird music boxes cozy up to cocktail dresses and cowboy boots.
"There are always treasures to be found," Montoya says, her face brightening with enthusiasm. "I've always shopped thinking someone would want this … I always thought a woman would like that in her home."
There's a shiny coffeepot lamp and a blue beveled soup tureen with a cat eating a fish for a handle. There are sets of crock ware, cat plates and winking coffee cups.
"I like old bottles. I like colored glass," she begins when asked about her inventory.
"And I love pretties," she says, pointing to a shelf full of knickknacks.
Montoya says she looks for quality and one-of-a-kind finds. She started going to yard sales with her mom when she was a little girl in Las Cruces.
"Mama said I had an eagle eye, that I could always find the best buys."
Montoya sees her offerings as great gifts or for people starting out, for furnishing a home.
"There's always a need and demand for good-quality stuff."
She accepts consignments on furniture and other items, but not clothes. Customers with high-end clothes can trade them for discounts on anything in the store.
And she loves to haggle.
"No price is written in stone," she says, again smiling. "Haggle with me."
Montoya, 51, moved to Los Lunas three years ago from northern New Mexico and this is her first business. She was a police officer in Santa Fe and Espanola. It was in 1998, while a cop in Espanola, that she began thinking about starting her own store.
A job as a Valencia County sheriff's deputy brought her to Los Lunas, but she quit about a year later and finally opened her thrift shop in Bobsons Plaza northwest of the "Y".
Montoya's 17-year-old poodle, Brandie greets customers at the door. The two of them come in early, sometimes at 7 a.m. to price items, dust and add a few more treasures from the garage.
The Revolving Door, 3414 N.M. 47, is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. On Saturdays, she closes at about noon.

Other winners for the Bulldogs were Matt Ellis in the 50 freestyle (21.02), Andrew Gemmell in the 500 freestyle (4:30.22) and Garrett Powell in the 1,000 freestyle (9:14.08).
The 200 medley relay of Stewart, Nic Fink, Doug Reynolds and Matias Koski stopped the clock in 1:31.62 to win, while the 400 freestyle relay of Koski, Fink, Jameson Hill and Ellis had a victorious time of 3:02.27.
Flickinger was a triple winner for the Lady Bulldogs. She swept the butterfly events in 55.81 and 1:59.49, respectively, and took the 200 backstroke in 1:59.38. Amber McDermott picked up two victories, claiming the 500 freestyle in 4:48.12 and the 1,000 freestyle in 10:04.19.
Also for the Lady Bulldogs, Chantal Van Landeghem won the 50 freestyle in 23.51, Melanie Margalis took the 200 breaststroke in 2:17.02 and Anna Neumeister had the meet's fastest time (2:05.44) in the 200 individual medley.
The 200 medley relay of Kelsey Gaid, Megan Molnar, Lauren Harrington and Van Landeghem placed first in 1:44.29. The 200 freestyle relay of Flickinger, Shannon Vreeland, Molnar and Allison Schmitt won in 1:34.63. The 400 freestyle relay of
Megan Romano, Olivia Boggs, Margalis and Schmitt touched in 3:27.41 to come in first.
Georgia will return to Gabrielsen Natatorium on Saturday, Jan. 12, to take on Texas in the final home dual meet of the season.

Re: Arky's DIY cymbal modification stuff
You can do pretty anything with it.
I've o-zoned around 4 cymbals so far (for various reasons - mostly to 'get rid' of cracks, and one time just for the fun of it). And a few holes won't even have a big impact on the sound. The holes need to be large enough or you'd have to make a good number of holes, even the sustain/level wouldn't drop too much. And o-zoning a cymbal doesn't automatically make it better sounding.
Alternatively, you could cut it down. The bell should sound fine - bells sound rather good even with so-so cymbals. Or leave some more rim around the bell so you'd have a large bell/mini splash - great per se or stacked (what about operating stacked cymbals with your foot? like some do with ribbon crushers). Just keep in mind that cutting a cymbal down will considerably alter the cymbal tension so it would tend to sound less 'round' and a bit harsher. In this case some re-hammering and/or lathing would be a good idea. (I don't have any experience in this regard and also no lathing tools.)

I believe the representative who assisted me was named Lucas and he was very helpful in every way possible. He was kind, friendly, and very informative. I work in customer service and in my personal opinion this rep went above and beyond to make sure that we had a smooth transaction when deciding which unit to go with. I would like for him to be recognized for the work that he does because in today's society I feel as though people in his situation are not always appreciated and he was amazingly awesome. I would definitely recommend Uncle Bobs to anyone looking for an easy going experience. Thank you for your assistance.Stephanie from Piscataway, NJ

This year of issue is by far my favourite of the britannias. I love the chariot and horses. This has a special place in my collection.
Just got 4 of these bad boyz. Love'em. Started collecting the Britannia's, and my 12 year likes these the best. I happen to like these the best, although it is a hard choice between this one and the 2003. Only 4 left, I hope these are still here by the time I get paid next week. Here's to hoping. And I will definitely buy more of the 2003's too!!
We provide all of our customers with a refund, return and / or exchange on everything we sell including all bullion and certified coins. If for any reason, you have a problem, please feel free to call us. We will always do our best to accommodate you.

Promenade Stadium 13
550 Deep Valley Drive,
Rolling Hills Estates,
No one has favorited this theater yet
The 2,800-seat Regal 13 opened on April 28, 2000 at The Avenue at the Peninsula. The other upscale shops at the Avenue, which opened the previous December 9, had been waiting for this occasion because they considered the cinema to be an important anchor. According to newspaper ads, the former Regal Theatre at the Avenue closed sometime before.
In the 1998 planning stages the Daily Breeze reported that the former mall would have its roof ripped off to become an open-air center. That entailed raising the roof of Macy's so Regal could expand on the third floor. Regal, which bought the former Krikorian Theater in the spring of 1996, originally wanted 16 screens.
The lifestyle center is now called Promenade On The Peninsula.
Recent comments (view all 3 comments)
I've been here a couple of times. The last time was to see "Real Steel" in one of their nicely sized auditoriums.
Looking for confirmation that this theatre contains the original Krikorian 6/9-plex and is not a completely new build. (I can't fathom how it would be… nobody DECIDES to build lopsided theatres like this one).
Scott, I've been to this complex many times.
I think the original 6/9 is still there. The 4 added screens would be on top of what was a former department store. This and a new lobby and concession area. The 6 screens down the hall are small and the hall is narrow. Plus all the windows in the front would give it away as a old theater. There are restrooms there too separate from the main lobby. I'm guessing the concession would be behind a wall before the hallway.
Side note: one of the new screens is bad. Support post right as you walk in. Keep seeing it every time you sit in the stadium section. It's off on the left side and not in the way of the screen but not hard to notice it.
Just login to your account and subscribe to this theater

In the fourth TechF1Podcast, Matt and I discuss the plethora of technical news that's emerged since the last episode.
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Topics discussed chronologically:
Spa and Monza witnessed McLaren's dominance and we investigate their path to apparent dominance, starting from their upturn in pace in Hockeheim. We talk about their new rear wing, sidepod cover and better utilisation of tyres.
Lewis' high downforce setup vs Jenson's low downforce setup at Spa – the merits of each.
Building a car around a driver. What's the advantage of having a car designed around you from the outset – referencing Alonso and the F2012. On the contrary, the challenge faced by McLaren in making sure both drivers with differing driving styles are confortable in the same package.
Renault Sport's advantage in more drivable engines at street circuit and their big spanner in the works in the form of alternator issues. Lotus F1, Red Bull and even the Pirelli test car have suffered failures.
Drag Reduction Devices – Lotus style, (upcoming) Mercedes "triple DRS" style and Matt's hypothesis of a possible McLaren style too!
Predictions for Singapore and the particular challenges the unique circuit offers.

All students will eventually confront moral problems with social, political, or legal dimensions in their roles as citizens, scholars, professionals, parents, members of their communities, and as human beings with responsibilities to other nations and peoples. Warren College designed Ethics and Society, PHIL or POLI 27 and PHIL or POLI 28, to help students learn how to make moral decisions, engage in moral reasoning, and understand the positions of others in the great moral conflicts of our time.
Generals, politicians, executives, and judges often make decisions for many other people that can have widespread ramifications. The Ethics and Society courses demand that students examine essential moral and ethical questions.
These questions, and others like them, are not merely academic—they are very real. Democracy works only when citizens have sufficient knowledge and understanding of moral theory and practice to make decisions that have a significant impact on the lives of others.Warren college is dedicated to the ideal of informed, engaged, morally sensitive citizenship, and considers Ethics and Society to be a principal means of achieving this ideal.
PHIL 27 or POLI 27 provides an overarching view of these issues and PHIL 28 or POLI 28 focuses on one (or more) topics in detail. In these courses, students will learn how to write, think, and speak about these issues.

text: Don't mean to beat a dead horse debate (probably), but what is the better game? I want to pick up a new one for the PS2. I want good game-play, and a creation center where I can make players and/b] teams. Not sure which are the games that allow you to do that. I picked up World Tour Soccer (the one with the Chicago player on the cover) and it is good gameplay, but no creation center. I have FIFA 2002 for the GameCube, but my GameCube $hit the bed so I'm all out of luck. I liked the creation center in FIFA, but it was a bit too easy to master. Oh yeah - and I want the EUropean leagues too. Be good to have those. Real players would be a bonus but definitely not necessary. Thanks!

I am a Hungarian computer engineer guy, who is programming applications since the 5th class of the primary school, so I have now more, than 10 years of computer experience - more than 5 years professional computer experience. I started using computers in Kindergarten - I was able to create directories with Norton Commander, even before I was able to write with my own hands. Personally I am a very open-minded guy, who focused his life so far learning as much as possible on every field - including soft skills, professional skills, managing ideas, marketing, communicating with people, and a lot of other things. What I can offer to you, is a very good quality of software, well tested and well documented; strong communication skills; some ideas about your project, if you wish. If these things are not important for you - because you can not afford it for example because of short time - then I am afraid, I am not your guy. If I apply for a job, and get it, my very first thing is always to make a product, which is not just acceptable, but perfect for the needs of the client, and perfect for my own requirements too. I am not the cheapest option there, but for this price, you will get a very good quality of code and you will be really satisfied with my work.

That's why a big part of my attention is dedicated to the quality assurance and testing of software.
