The celebrations of the 30th anniversary of Margaret Thatcher's ascent to power have had a surreal quality. The moist panegyrics from David Cameron and Boris Johnson – followed by an army of cheering commentators, and a distant, shameful echo from Gordon Brown – have been filled with statements that are the opposite of the truth. Yet there they stand, unchallenged, as the road-map for our future.
The arguments in defence of Margaret Thatcher invariably have three prongs. She made it possible for ordinary British people to "get ahead", and "aspire" once more. She expanded freedom. And her strip-down-the-state economic model saved Britain – and spread prosperity across the world. Each of these is simply asserted, as if these claims can't be measured objectively. Just shut up and rejoice!
But your ability to "get ahead" – to rise up the social ladder – isn't simply a matter of hunches; it can be tested scientifically. And every study has found one thing: social mobility collapsed under Margaret Thatcher. As a massive recent London School of Economics study showed once again, in the 1980s and 1990s we became a country where if you were born rich, you stayed rich, and if you were born poor, you stayed poor.
This shouldn't have been a surprise. Every country that adopts a low-tax, low-investment model sees the same. The evidence shows only countries that tax the wealthy and use the cash to lift up the rest – like Sweden – consistently achieve the dream of allowing anyone with talent to make it.
So thanks to her policies, a whole generation of poor and lower middle class children remained stuck, unable to achieve their potential. Look at the new generation of rising Tory candidates and MPs and you see this failure of social mobility writ large. They are overwhelmingly the children of the wealthy – educated at the most expensive schools. Everybody else is stuck, unable to get up and out.
While you are entitled to your own opinions, you are not entitled to your own facts. To claim Thatcher boosted aspiration is false – unless you mean merely the aspiration of the rich to become super-rich.
How about Thatcher's support for freedom? This is a leader who called Nelson Mandela a "terrorist" and vandalised all attempts to place sanctions on Apartheid South Africa, while her husband cheerfully referred to black Africans as "coons". This is a leader who called the self-described "fascist" General August Pinochet "a great man", after he toppled an elected leader in a violent coup and rounded up thousands of dissidents to torture to death.
This is a leader who upheld a system of Protestant supremacism in Northern Ireland, while the police there conspired with criminal gangs to murder Catholics. This is a leader who at the height of the Aids crisis criminalised any mention of homosexuality in our schools. Freedom?
What about the idea that her economic model "saved" us? Thatcher wanted to build a "nightwatchman state", where the government stopped anyone invading the country or your home, but otherwise stood inert and passive. She saw regulation as "red tape", and boasted of building a "bonfire" of it. And what happened? Her apostles took this to its logical conclusion, building a "shadow" banking system free of all government interference. If she had been right, it would now be the self-regulating engine of the global economy, pulling us all to a better world.
It didn't quite turn out that way. As John Campbell, her best biographer, has written, the tragedy of Margaret Thatcher is that she sincerely believed rolling back the state would create a generation like her father, a moral, self-reliant grocer. Instead, it created a wave of businessmen like her son, an amoral parasite who has contributed nothing to the economy.
Yet David Cameron's election song could be the old Honeybus hit "I Can't Let Maggie Go". He cheered the ugliest of Thatcher's policies while they were happening: he even accepted a free holiday jaunt to Apartheid South Africa paid for by one of the most depraved corporations backing the whites-only regime. Today, he says she will be his inspiration in power, as his claims to moderation burn away under the pressure of recession.
But oddly, the party that has found it hardest to get out of Thatcher's shadow is Labour. They drank so deeply of Thatcherism after the collective trauma of 1992 that they have become tarred with its worst failings.
As Labour now collapses into a mess of fratricidal soundbites, it would do well to pause and remember a slap-in-the-face fact. Contrary to the ahistorical waffle pumped out over the past week, Margaret Thatcher never won over a majority of the British people. At every single election where she was leader, 56 per cent of us voted for parties committed to higher taxes and higher public spending. She won because the centre-left majority was divided and at war with itself – and because of our lousy electoral system.
Over the past year, there have been small hints of what a de-Thatcherized Labour Party could look like – and it's a world away from both Toryism and the old, hellish Scargillite closed shops. It is simple Scandinavian-style social democracy that marries thriving markets to an interventionist state. It would tax the rich more, both to reduce inequality and to pay for public services. Despite the out-of-touch press shrieking, some 68 per cent of people supported the new 50 per cent top rate of tax on the richest one per cent of Brits.
It would argue for a Keynesian stimulus directed at transforming Britain into a low-carbon economy – the only sane response to a depression and an unravelling climate. And it would put at the forefront of its agenda moves like Harriet Harman's excellent Equality Bill, which will require local authorities to spend most on the poorest areas, and to put greater equality at the heart of all decisions.
The logic of this legislation fits with the egalitarian, European mindset of the silent liberal majority of British people. If we leave it to the market Thatcher-style, it will take 80 years before women are paid the same wages as men for the same work – and we will all be dead. Who wants to defend that? Who wants to say companies shouldn't even have to publish their gender gap, as the Bill demands? A long queue has been forming outside TV studios of Tory MPs saying just that. But a recession is the time when we can least afford to waste talent and promote mediocrities just because they are men. We need the best talents in the best positions now.
Yet all this is far too little too late. Brown's "Green New Deal" is pitifully small, and his ability to sell any policy is limited by his own lousy communication skills and his refusal to decisively cast off the shroud of Thatcher. Even the 50 per cent tax rate was introduced with a nervous, quaking commitment to reverse it once the recession ends. Who will point out that during America's largest boom – the 1950s – it had a 92 per cent top rate of tax under a Republican President?
And so the window to a better, more social democratic Britain seems to be creaking shut. Gordon Brown stands frozen as his Blearsy-eyed colleagues hiss and snap all around him, protesting at even the tiniest nudges to the left. Why won't Labour let the Iron Lady rust?

BVI Boats Seized by US Customs
Oh yeah, the first boat seized by the BVI was the "BLACK PEARL". How appropo. Now "homeland security," in the last two hours, has seized three or four BVI go-fasts that didn''t clear customs coming to Red Hook (which, if you know what''s up, is a daily occurrence) to go to K-Mart and stock up. The whole thing is turning into an international incident. I honestly believe that the BVI will relent, and get over it, if they even get wind of anyone talking boycott. Unbelieveable. It''s the islands, mon.
BVI Boats Seized by US Customs
Oh man,...those scurvy BVI dogs got the Black Pearl? I bet Capt.Sparrow put the lead to a few of them before they took her.I say give the dogs the Cortez treasure and see how they like that!
BVI Boats Seized by US Customs
The Puerto Rican boat has been released, but the USVI boat remains held hostage to a typically corrupt island system. And it''s captain Niddrie. Last year, just for fun, the BVI seized one of the Bryan kids'' boats and held the teenager. Thing is, you can''t figure out HOW to get a fishing license in the BVI, much less what the actual customs fees are when clearing in. Seems to vary widely. I''ve got dozens of BVI stamps in my passport, none of which cost the same amount. They''re targeting U.S. citizens, again, in the hopes that the major sportfishing fleet will relocate to the BVI.

This letter is concerning the highly publicized plight of our local school bus drivers and support staff (monitors) who are tasked with the responsibility of transporting our children.
These workers have been politicked out of unemployment benefits, which allowed contracted companies to retain their services and support their families during the summer months when the schools are closed.
See Also
The Savannah-Chatham County Board of Education decided to get out the school bus transportation business and to outsource it to a private company. Now, our elected officials have decided to stop this much-needed benefit of support, and yet expect no change in the everyday business of transporting our children.
These are more than just bus drivers and monitors. They are mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, cousins and your next-door neighbors. But most importantly, they are voters who live in every district that is represented by City Hall, the School Board, the County Commission, the State Legislature and Congress.
If you can't convince Georgia Labor Commissioner Mark Butler to change, amend or do away with this law, then come together as our elected officials and find a solution that will not only solve this problem, but also allow Savannah to be an example for the rest of the state to follow.
Take the challenge of setting a system in place that will guarantee these workers are paid the entire year so these valuable assets may be retained and not forced to seek employment elsewhere.

'Morning Joe' should switch to decaf
On May 24, on Morning Joe on MSNBC, the president was the butt of their jokes. Mainly, they were about the president being a hypocrite because they say he got as much as $3 million from private equity.
Joe Scarborough says that the president hates private equity. Nothing could be further from the truth.
In the president's speech the other day, he said he is not envious of anyone who makes money in that sector of business. He says Mitt Romney is a good businessman.
The president went on to say, if Romney is running for president on these credentials alone, it will not be enough to run a country and to do his job.
Lighten up Joe, and get it right.
Writer wrong about Jesus, gay marriage
This is written as a rebuttal to a recent letter to the editor to this fine newspaper. That writer was addressing gay marriages. He stated that our Lord Jesus never talked about gay marriage while He was on earth. That's incorrect.
In the Bible, we find in Matthew Chapter 19, Verses 4 through 6: "Jesus said, 'Have you not heard that the Creator, He who created them from the beginning, made them male and female and said: "Therefore, man shall leave his mother and father and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh?"' So, they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore, God has joined together let not man separate."
God ordained marriage between one man and one woman. The quotation from Jesus, God's Son, confirms only such union.

- Biogen Idec will make an upfront payment of $100 million, a majority of which will be reflected as R&D expense in Biogen Idec's third quarter financial results.
- Isis is eligible to receive milestone payments, license fees and royalty payments for all treatments developed through this collaboration, with the specific amount dependent upon the modality of the molecule advanced by Biogen Idec. In the case of antisense molecules, the milestone payments could be as much as $220 million, plus additional amounts related to the cost of clinical trials conducted by Isis under the collaboration.
WESTON, Mass. and CARLSBAD, Calif., Sept. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Biogen Idec (NASDAQ: BIIB) and Isis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISIS) today announced that the companies have entered into a broad, multi-year collaboration to leverage antisense technology to advance the treatment of neurological diseases. The agreement combines Biogen Idec's expertise in neurology with Isis' leadership in antisense technology to develop novel therapies to treat neurological disorders. This is the fourth collaboration between the two companies in the last two years. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130807/LA60006LOGO) "This strategic alliance with Isis builds on our existing relationship and combines the unique strengths of each partner to significantly advance the treatment of serious neurological diseases," said Douglas E. Williams, Ph.D., Biogen Idec's executive vice president of research and development. "Antisense is a validated technology that we believe will help build our pipeline of antisense, small molecule and biologics programs, strengthening our leadership in neurology." Antisense technology is designed to alter a gene's function, silencing a mutation or activating a gene to compensate for an underlying genetic defect. When the genetic sequence of a gene is known to cause a disease, it is possible to synthesize a strand of nucleic acid (DNA, RNA or a chemical analogue) that binds to the messenger RNA (mRNA) produced by that gene and effectively turn that gene "on" or "off." As part of the six-year research collaboration, Biogen Idec will gain exclusive rights to the use of Isis' antisense technology to develop therapies for neurological diseases. Terms of this collaboration include:

Flower insists he remains "very motivated", despite England's ongoing miserable and unsuccessful Ashes campaign, to contribute what he can for the good of the national team.
But after England's latest embarrassment, an eight-wicket defeat in Melbourne which means they have one last chance next week to avoid a 5-0 whitewash at the SCG, Flower revealed a meeting with Downton is already in his diary.
Former England wicketkeeper Downton officially begins his role, successor to the departing Hugh Morris, this week - and it seems his first major task will be to sift through with Flower what has gone wrong Down Under over the past two months and what changes need to be made.
On the morning after England went 4-0 down, with another crushing defeat at the MCG, Flower said: "Paul Downton, the new managing director, has arrived in Australia.
"I will be meeting with him in Sydney, and we will talk about the future of the leadership of the national team - with regards the coach's position.
"But I'm very motivated to contribute to English cricket, and that's what I'm going to do.
"I think it would be absolutely right to look into the reasons why we haven't done well in this series.
"I also think it's important that (you do that) when you have a very successful series.
"So, for example after the 2010-11 series here, there was a report done on why it was successful.
"On this occasion, it hasn't been successful - and I think there should be some sort of review as to why, certainly."
Flower is adamant too that Alastair Cook, who arrived in Australia hoping for a fourth successive Ashes series victory and is still barely more than a year into his tenure as captain, is the right man to continue in his role.
"Yes, he is," he said.
"Alastair Cook has captained six Test series for England, and this is the first series loss he's had.
"He's done some outstanding things for England with the bat. But he's also done some excellent things as a leader, in the dressing room and out on the field."
Flower believes his and Cook's England can still emerge stronger for their harrowing experiences here.
"This is a very challenging time for any leader," he said. "For Alastair and me, it's certainly in that bracket.
"Out of challenging times, sometimes we can grow significantly. We'll be looking at how we do that.
"In the more immediate future is the Sydney Test match, just around the corner, and that is our real focus.
"Certainly, when I examine my role in the tour, I ask myself tough questions."
Flower declined to specify any changes of playing personnel for the final Test - but after the frustrations of Melbourne, where England established a first-innings lead only to collapse second time round, he acknowledged a likely rethink on selection for a match which starts on Friday.
"I would imagine there will be one or two changes for the Sydney Test," he said.
"It was a disappointing match, this last one in Melbourne - I suppose like the first three, of course.
"This one, though, we got into a position where we could have dominated - and we threw that position away with our second-innings batting.
"So that was probably doubly disappointing.
"Now we're faced with one chance in Sydney, to redeem ourselves to a small extent."Reuse content

I seem to be struggling with light fluffy bread in my 2lb bread tin. I do as follows..
400g Strong Bread Flour, 6g Yeast in one side of the bowl, 8g Salt in the other side of the bowl. Blob of olive oil in centre and then mix normal tap water in until its a nice dough. I then pour a bit of olive oil on the bench and then kneed the dough on that. I'm finding its sticking very badly no matter how slow or fast I'm kneading. I then keep adding a bit of olive oil to the bench to stop it sticking as and when. I knead for 5 to 10 mins until it feels different and feels very stretchy. I then put it into a bowl and prove for an hour to hour and half (doubled in size). I then get it out on a lightly floured surface and kneed a little bit more and then shape and transfer to the bread tin. I preheat the oven to 200 degrees (fan oven) and when its risen to the top of the bread tin , I put it in the oven for 25 mins at 200 degrees.
It cooks fine , and looks quite brown but almost always feels hard outside (the crust) and the inside doesn't have very many big holes , has quite a few little tiny ones but overall it feels very dense.
Any ideas?
I'm thinking the temperature is too high. If I put the temperature down, am I right in thinking it will make the crust less hard and should make it more fluffy inside?

Eminem Has a Beard Now, Looks Totally Different
"The gilded mirrors, marble urns, the lavish carpets and sherbet palette -- it was all very grand, but it wasn't very true to myself," Winfrey says in the March 2013 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine. She enlisted designer Rose Tarlow to turn her house into a home. "And there you have it: the thing that had been missing from all of the beautiful places I'd ever lived in was me!"

Re: Bigger & Better... "The Fly Box 90!"
I put a lot of stock in the "honor" system, an "investment" of sorts that sometimes come around to bite me in the backside. But, as I'm a bit set in my ways, I continue to stubbornly hold to the premise that
"a man's word is his bond... until proven otherwise..."
Without going into great detail and making myself look like I've taken leave of my common sense, let's just say that I've had a double dose of one-sided trust of late, leaving me in the lurch once again on a few fly boxes. It's getting to the point where I just don't get it any longer.
So, my friends... all I ask is but a small favor, if you wouldn't mind? As I'm more than happy to "over-tie" a box or two filled with flies-- "90+ means 90 flies, plus a few more... always with me"--please do likewise on fulfilling the promise of payment on your end.
I never worry about "my buds" here on the forum, as your word has always been carved in stone-- your bond, if you will --with all of our dealings. As for a few others? Well, they've made me acutely aware of the fact that not all "fishing buds" are created equal...
Be that as it may, I still don't intend to change my own chosen "fulfillment" of orders, be they 90, 95 or something approaching 100 flies. I'm too damn old to change now...
Tight lines always, my friends/"buds"...

Untangling The Wires At MicroageBy
Shares of MicroAge (MICA) have been on the ropes, partly because of disappointing earnings. Its stock has tumbled--to 14 1/4 a share on Aug. 12, down from 29 last September. But MicroAge will perk up, say several pros. For one, earnings should rebound. But more important: They expect this integrator and distributor of info-tech products and services to unload its Pinacor unit, which distributes products to resellers.
On Apr. 13, when MicroAge was mentioned in this column, Chairman Jeff McKeever said he was considering all options--including selling the distribution business--to boost the stock. Since then, he has split MicroAge, with expected sales of $5.5 billion to $6 billion in the fiscal year ending Oct. 31, 1998, into two units: MicroAge Integration, which provides and installs systems, and Pinacor.
Now, a deal looks set for the sale of Pinacor, expected to post sales of $4.5 billion this year, to CHS Electronics, for $650 million in cash and stock. That translates into $32 a share in MicroAge stock. CHS distributes minicomputer products.
Analysts forecast profits of $1.09 in 1999, as demand for info-tech resurges, vs. an expected 24 cents loss in fiscal 1998. MicroAge spokeswoman Michelle Gorel says the company is considering all options for Pinacor. CHS CEO Claudio Osorio was unavailable for comment.

Kate Upton Pays a Visit to the "Today" Show
Stepping out for a busy day ahead, Kate Upton was spotted heading into an office building in New York City this morning (February 14).
The 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Cover Girl was all smiles as she hopped out of a black SUV to find fans and paparazzi waiting for her.
Katie also appeared on the "Today" show this morning, talking about her big SI moment as well as her take on how to be successful as a supermodel in today's world.
"Well, in my opinion... you know everyone talks about how the age of the supermodel is dead... but I don't think it's dead. I think people want more. You know, we have new technology so people want to see personalities not just someone walking down a runway or just a face. That's why campaigns go to actresses now."
Enjoy the pictures of Kate Upton paying a visit to the "Today" show (February 14).

Cogswell Gallery in Vail hosts artist Wednesday through Sunday
July 3, 2012
Cogswell Gallery in Vail hosts an exhibit of artist Jean Richardson's works Wednesday through Sunday. Richardson is an abstract expressionist from Oklahoma City. She uses horses to convey movement and emotion in acrylic. Richardson is well-known for her vibrant colors and abstract-expressionist style of horses in motion. The artist will not attend the exhibit.
"I have always been interested in the relationship between visual art and music, poetry and dance," Richardson said.
She feels that an essential harmony exists between the visible and the spiritual realms. Richardson often describes her artistic objectives in musical terms, drawing a parallel to program music, in which music tells a story without the benefit of words. Abstract painting, like music, communicates nonverbally; form, line and color may be said to perform the same function as melody. Music speaks most directly to the emotions, and Richardson equates abstraction with emotion. Her goal is an art of feeling rather than intellect; her objective is to create a mood and resonance.
Born in 1940, Richardson started painting at age 8, when she took her first class, and it became her passion in life. At age 10, she had her first show at the Richland County Public Library in Columbia, S.C., consisting of 16 tempera paintings depicting the legend of Robin Hood. Painting throughout her school years, Richardson received a scholarship to attend Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia, an all-female school with a conservatory-style program of instruction of art and music. She graduated with a B.A. in painting in 1962.
As her work matured, Richardson gained recognition as a regional artist. She was selected for the State Collection of Oklahoma Artists and was included in the Oklahoma Annual at the Philbrook Museum in Tulsa. She began to show in galleries and has had numerous one-woman exhibitions.
Richardson belongs to a modernist tradition that fuses the spiritual with the abstract. Some of her predecessors in this quest were the early 20th century painters Wassily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich and Piet Mondrian, who were followed by the American abstract expressionists Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman and Jackson Pollock. Although these artists varied in the degree of their abstraction and in the sources of their inspiration – from mystical religion to Jungian psychology to American Indian mythology – they shared a similar goal, which Maurice Tuchman has described as the expression of "spiritual, utopian, or metaphysical ideals that cannot be expressed in traditional pictorial terms."

Bacterial transformation is a naturally occurring process, in which bacteria ingest foreign DNA and then amplify or clone it. In the lab, this process can be induced artificially, by using high voltage electric field pulses to create pores in the bacterial cell membrane, through which plasmid DNA can pass. Electroporation refers to this method and the following video will demonstrate its principles, step-by-step procedure, and applications.
Before we talk about electroporation of bacteria, it's important to understand the type of DNA used in these experiments: the plasmid. A plasmid is a small, circular, extrachromosomal piece of DNA that acts as a vector, a carrier of your specific DNA sequence.
Whether this sequence is a gene for a fluorescence protein in jellyfish or an enzyme from plants, it is inserted into the plasmid via a region called the multiple cloning site or MCS. This region contains specific sequences that are cleaved by restriction endonucleases or restriction enzymes. The same restriction enzymes can be used to cut out your sequence of interest so that the ends are complementary to the newly cut ends of the plasmid.
Plasmids also contain an origin of replication, abbreviated ORI, that indicates the point at which it will be replicated. When it comes to transformation the antibiotic resistance gene is of vital importance. As its name implies this gene allows the bacteria to produce an enzyme that neutralizes antibiotic allowing them to survive in antibiotic containing media.
Electroporation makes use of a specialized device called an electroporator. Typically cells are placed into an electroporation cuvette, which has electrodes on each side that make electrical contact with the machine once inserted.
Bacterial cells mixed with DNA are loaded into the electroporation cuvette and an electric field on the order a 1000 to 10,000 volts per centimeter is applied for a few milliseconds. This causes the voltage across the membrane to reach 0.5-1 volts, which is believed to lead to a rearrangement of the phospolipid bilayer that comprises the cell membrane such that pores will form. In this state plasmid DNA will pass through the membrane and when pulsing is complete the bilayer will repair itself.
Having taken up the plasmid, bacteria can then grow on agar plates containing antibiotic.
Now that we've learned about plasmids and the electroporation mechanism. Let's have a look at how the procedure is conducted.
Cells that can readily take up DNA are referred to as competent cells. The most common type of competent bacteria that is transformed in molecular biology research is E. coli, which are the prokaryotic bacteria that make their home in your lower intestine. E. coli that are prepared for electroporation are referred to as electrocompetent cells.
Whenever handling bacteria, make sure the work area is as clean as possible.
Handling bacteria also requires that one practice aseptic technique. Typically this involves the use of a Bunsen burner to sterilize instruments and to create a convection current – which keeps airborne contaminants away from the workspace.
Immediately before electroporation, pre-warm media to room temperature, bring agar plates containing antibiotic to 37°C, and cool electroporation cuvettes on ice.
Next, thaw washed electrocompetent cells on ice.
Add 1-5uL of 1ng/μL cold plasmid that is salt free to bacterial cells, mix gently, and add the mixture to the cold cuvette. Make sure there are no bubbles.
Set the voltage and field strength of the electroporator to the correct settings for your cells. Here you see an electroporator being set to 1700 volts and yielding a field strength of 17kV/cm.
Wipe the outside of the cuvette dry and place it into the electroporator. Pulse the cells until you hear a beep.
Unsuccessful pulsing causes an electrical discharge, which is observable as a visible spark and audible pop. This discharge, referred to as arcing, can be the result of having too much salt in your competent cells or DNA.
The success of your transformation can be predicted by noting the time constant, which is the duration it takes for the voltage to decay after applying the pulse. When salt is present and the electroporation solution is very conductive, the decay happens rapidly, causing the discharge, and thereby killing many of your cells. For bacteria, good time constants range from 5-10 milliseconds.
Immediately after pulsing, remove the cuvette and add 1 ml of media directly to the cells. This cell containing media is placed in a tube and incubated at 37°C for 1 hour, with shaking, in order for the cells to recover.
Then, using aseptic technique add 20-200uL of the cell to an antibiotic containing agar plate. Invert the plates so that the agar is on top and so condensation does not fall into your cells and incubate overnight at 37°C.
Bacteria transformed with the plasmid should form colonies. Count the colonies and calculate the transformation efficiency, which is the number of successful transformants divided by the total amount of DNA plated.
The agar and media, which provide the nutrition for your bacteria, should be pre-prepared and sterilized via autoclaving. Allow liquid media to cool to room temperature before using and let the agar cool to 50-55˚C – the temperature at which antibiotic can be added and plates poured. Then, allow plates to cool to room temperature to solidify.
Since bacteria used in transformation are stored in the freezer, they must first be thawed on ice, spread on an agar plate without antibiotics and then grown overnight at 37˚C.
Using aseptic technique select a bacterial colony from the agar plate and grow it up in a larger 500mL culture overnight at 37°C in a shaking incubator.
While the cells are growing, prepare about a liter of deionized water and make up a 10% glycerol and water, volume to volume solution. Autoclave the solutions and let them cool at 4˚C.
Absorbance measurements are used to determine whether or not the bacteria are in their mid log phase of growth, which means they will readily take up DNA. Once cells have reached this phase, place them on ice and keep them there throughout the procedure.
Next, wash cells by separating them in two large centrifuge tubes and spin at 4°C, pour off supernatant and resuspend in cold 100mL sterile deionized water. Repeat this step at least one more time. The purpose of this step particular step is to remove salt, which will strongly affect the electroporation technique.
Perform two additional washes in 50 ml of 10% glycerol in water and finally resuspend the bacteria in this same solution.
Add 50μL of cells into multiple Eppendorf tubes. These cells are now ready for use in electroporation and should be kept at 4˚C. Or they can be flash frozen and stored at -80˚C.
As you are about to see, electroporation has many applications.
An alternative to electroporation is heat shock transformation, which relies on the exposure of the bacteria to both calcium chloride and heat in order to introduce DNA into your cells.
In general, heat shock is gentler on your bacteria than electroporation and doesn't require low salt. Ligation reactions, those that involve inserting your target gene into the plasmid, can be used directly in heat shock transformation. Heat shock transformation is cheaper than electroporation and doesn't rely on expensive equipment or cuvettes. On the other hand, heat shock leads to lower transformation efficiencies than electroporation and takes longer. Also it is limited to bacterial, yeast and plant protoplasts while electroporation can be applied to mammalian cells.
Here you see mouse embryonic fibroblasts being loaded into an electroporation cuvette. Once electroporation is complete, transformation efficiencies can be determined by observing the extent to which cells produce a green fluorescence protein encoded by the plasmid. Transfection is the term given to the transformation of mammalian cells, which typically requires lower field strengths than bacterial cells and higher time constants.
Electroporation can also be performed in whole animals like the developing chicken embryo you seen here. Plasmid DNA is injected into the brain of the chick and then an electroporation probe is used to apply an electric field to the brain tissue. After a day or two, green and red fluorescent proteins - encoded by the plasmid - are made by neurons, and scientists can observe structural changes in the developing chick brain.
You've just watched JoVE introduction to bacterial transformation by electroporation. This video introduced the plasmid as the most commonly transformed type of DNA, discussed the biophysical mechanism thought to underlie electroporation, showed a generalized procedure for conducting electroporation, and described how electroporation can be used in mammalisn system. Thanks for watching!
The term "transformation" refers cellular ingestion of foreign DNA. In nature, transformation can occur in certain types of bacteria. In molecular biology, however, transformation is artificially induced through the creation of pores in the bacterial cell walls. Bacterial cells that are able to take up DNA from the environment are called competent cells. Electrocompetent cells can be produced in the laboratory and transformation of these cells can be achieve via the application of an electrical field that creates pores in the cell wall through which DNA can pass.
The video explains the equipment used in electroporation such as an electroporator and electroporation cuvette. The video also goes through a step-by-step procedure about how to create electrocompetent cells and electroporate cells of interest. Prediction of the success of a transformation of an experiment, by observing the time constant, as well as the importance of removing salt from the solutions when electroporating, are also mentioned.

text: ANDOVER, Mass., June 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- MKS Instruments, Inc. (NASDAQ: MKSI), a global provider of technologies that enable advanced processes and improve productivity, will update its revenue outlook for the second quarter of 2011 in today's investor and analyst meeting. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the company, CEO and President Leo Berlinghieri will ring The NASDAQ Opening Bell this morning at 9:30 a.m. ET. Immediately following, the senior management team will host an investor and analyst meeting at The NASDAQ MarketSite in Times Square.

Commenting on the event, Leo Berlinghieri stated, "We are hosting an investor and analyst meeting at the NASDAQ in New York that coincides with our 50th anniversary celebration. As this investor event takes place late in the quarter, we have a clearer view of the near-term business outlook and are in a position to update our expectations for second quarter revenues. "As is well understood among our investors and analysts, following our April 21st conference call discussing first quarter 2011 financial results, several of our semiconductor OEM customers commented on shifts in the timing of shipments and orders among their customer base. Not surprisingly, these shifts have been reflected in our customers' ordering patterns and we currently expect June quarter revenues to be around the lower end of our prior guidance of $220 to $240 million. The impact of our semiconductor customers' ordering plans has been relatively modest and, as I commented last week, I am pleased to be celebrating our 50th anniversary after a record-setting 2010 and within what is shaping up to be an even stronger 2011."

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
I will try to make this short, but that won't be easy. On September 8th, our home caught fire and we are unable to live in it currently. Our neighbor and supposed friend who happens to have a General Contracting company on the side told my wife and I he will take care of us. Of course.
We did not enter into any contract, everything was strictly verbal, which I realize was a mistake to trust anyone with this. He started the job by sending in some people to wipe down furniture, pack contents and move items into the garage. Once done, they then proceeded to demo by removing the drywall and insulation from the house. By this time I finally got the 1st 33% of the insurance money back from the mortgage company.
I called this guy and asked him to invoice me for the work done so far and I would pay him and we could get to work. He sent me an invoice for $30,000 and wanted me to send almost 90% of the total initial amount I got, to him with no contract. I told him that wasn't going to happen. After much thinking, I told him thanks for his help, but I am going to do this myself and to send me an invoice for the work done. He sent me an invoice for $20,000.
When I initially asked him for an estimate he said he could, but it would be pointless since his estimate would mirror the insurance companies estimate and that I could just go by that. Well, the insurance company allowed $5600 for the demo etc, yet this guy thinks I am going to pay him an additional $14,000 for nothing?
The problem I have is that the mortgage company has told me that since I this guy as my General contractor since the start, that HE has to give them verbal and written acknowledgement that he has been paid in full and is no longer doing the work. So, he might as well be demanding $100,000.
I got quotes from 2 other contractors that all say the insurance estimate is about right on the money and this guy is a crook. In addition, the invoices he sent me are obviously fraudulent since he put about 3 times the hours down that his people spent in the home, we were around every day. He also wrote down 48 boxes packed, when there are only 18. When I asked him about the inflated numbers, his response was, "That is the cost of doing business and I didn't know the exact number of boxes they packed so I put down what sounds right."
I also have witnesses, including my son and a neighbor that saw his workers loading up and taking all of the ceiling fans in the house away. That was my property and theft as far as I am concerned.
To top it all off, this guy works as a licensed insurance adjuster for another company. Isn't what he is doing a conflict of interest that could put his license and job at risk?

Adolphe Menjou movies today (This article is currently being revised.) Despite countless stories to the contrary, numerous silent film performers managed to survive the coming of sound. Adolphe Menjou, however, is a special case in that he not only remained a leading man in the early sound era, but smoothly made the transition to top supporting player in mid-decade, a position he would continue to hold for the quarter of a century. Menjou is Turner Classic Movies' Star of the Day today, Aug. 3, as part of TCM's "Summer Under the Stars" 2015 series. Right now, TCM is showing William A. Wellman's A Star Is Born, the "original" version of the story about a small-town girl (Janet Gaynor) who becomes a Hollywood star, while her husband (Fredric March) boozes his way into oblivion. In typical Hollywood originality (not that things are any different elsewhere), this 1937 version of the story – produced by »

'Father of the Bride': Steve Martin and Kimberly Williams. Top Five Father's Day Movies? From giant Gregory Peck to tyrant John Gielgud What would be the Top Five Father's Day movies ever made? Well, there have been countless films about fathers and/or featuring fathers of various sizes, shapes, and inclinations. In terms of quality, these range from the amusing – e.g., the 1950 version of Cheaper by the Dozen; the Oscar-nominated The Grandfather – to the nauseating – e.g., the 1950 version of Father of the Bride; its atrocious sequel, Father's Little Dividend. Although I'm unable to come up with the absolute Top Five Father's Day Movies – or rather, just plain Father Movies – ever made, below are the first five (actually six, including a remake) "quality" patriarch-centered films that come to mind. Now, the fathers portrayed in these films aren't all heroic, loving, and/or saintly paternal figures. Several are »

Our next installment of the Red's All Decade teams involves a name change, a league change, and as Red's fans are now beginning to get to used to, a lack of championships. In 1890, the Reds moved back to the National League (the American Association would be gone by 1891), shortened their name from the Red Stockings to just the Reds, and had winning records in eight of the ten seasons during the decade. Unfortunately they played in a league dominated by two teams (The Boston Beaneaters won five championships, and the Baltimore Orioles won three during the ten years), and never finished better then third place.
So let's take a look at the best of the 1890s…..
Catcher – Heinie Peitz came over from the St. Louis Browns in 1896, and was the Reds starting catcher for the final four seasons of the decade. His best season was his first with the franchise, when he .299 and got on base at a .386 clip.
First Base – Hall of Famer Jake Beckley came over to the Reds early in the 1897 season from the New York Giants, and finished off the decade with three solid seasons. He hit .330, .294, and .333 in those seasons, and had no less then twelve triples in any of those seasons. His 243 career triples are good for fourth all time.
Second Base – Bid McPhee is the only Red so far to repeat as an All Decade player. He started at second base in all ten seasons for the Reds, and his best season was 1894, where he hit .304 and had a .420 OBP. He led the team in RBIs with 619 during the 1890s.
Third Base – Arlie Latham manned the hot corner for six seasons for the Reds. His 1894 and 1895 seasons were probably his best, when he hit .313 and .311. His 739 career stolen bases are good for eighth all time.
Shortstop – Germany Smith played six seasons for the Reds, and although he wasn't the best hitter on the team (.243 career batting average), he did have some pop. In 1892, his eight homers put him at sixth in the league.
Leftfield – This spot was a revolving door, and in several seasons, the Reds didn't have a consistent starter. I'm going to give Eddie Burke the nod. He played three seasons for the Reds, and in 1896, he hit .340 and scored 120 runs.
Centerfield – Bug Holliday was one of the most potent offensive forces for the team. He played every season during the decade with the exception of 1899. Bug was a career .311 hitter, and his best season was 1894, when he hit .372 and had thirteen homeruns. He led the Reds in hitting (.309) and homeruns (46) during the 1890s, and had two homerun crowns throughout his career.
Rightfield – Dusty Miller was the starting rightfielder from 1895-1899. In his first season with the Reds, he hit .335, and garnered 103 runs and 112 RBIs. His ten homers that season was good for fifth in the league.
Starting Pitcher – Frank Dwyer led all Reds' pitchers in Wins during the 1890s with 132 over eight seasons. Probably his most interesting season was 1894, when he had an ERA of 5.07. What was interesting about it was the adjusted league ERA was actually 5.53, so he ended up with an ERA+ of 109. His career ERA+ was 115.
Starting Pitcher – Billy Rhines pitched for the Reds from 1890 through 1892, moved on to the Louisville Colonels for a season, and came back to the Reds for three more seasons. His best season by far was his rookie campaign in 1890. He went 28-17 in 46 starts, racked up 401 1/3 innings, and had an ERA of 1.95 (ERA+ of 183). He led the league in WHIP, ERA, ERA+, and was fifth in wins. He was the team leader in strikeouts (499) and ERA (3.28) during the 1890s.
Relief pitchers were still used sporadically, and most of them had ERAs closer to double figures compared to the numbers we're used to seeing from relievers today.
Baseball America released their list of Top 10 Reds Prospects. I'm not a premium subscriber, but both the Red Reporter and Reds and Blues touch on the story nicely. Last year's first round pick, Homer Bailey, was chosen as the top prospect.
Jayson Stark wrote a column on the 10 most improved teams, and the Reds came in at number nine. I think the Reds made some signings that look good, but once we get down to business, I think it's going to be more of the same. Having Austin Kearns and Ken Griffey, Jr. around for an entire season is worth more then anything they've picked up, but their pitching is still going to be near rock bottom. In fact, there's a chance that for the first time ever, two starters on the same team could give up 40 taters.
JD Arney, the fantastic owner of Reds Daily, is moving on to his next project. He's now at Red Reporter. Looks like there's some great enhancements to his site, so make sure to add this to your daily reads.
Jack Billingham was one of Sparky's workhorses. Despite having an ERA+ of only 94, he won 19 games in two different seasons, and 15 in 1975. His best season by far was 1973, when he went 19-10, pitched 293 1/3 innings, and finished fourth in the Cy Young voting. He led the league in innings pitched, games started (40), and shutouts (7).
In 1975, he was good but not great. He did win fifteen, but his ERA+ of 87 was hardly spectacular. He walked almost as many batters as he struck out, and his WHIP was a fairly high 1.447. Nothing to write home about, but he was second on the team in innings pitched (coming in less then three innings behind Gary Nolan), so he gave Sparky quite a few quality innings. Let's take a look at the rest of his stat line:
Innings Pitched 208
Wins 15
Losses 10
Pitching Runs Above Replacement 30
Stuff -5
The Stuff rating of -5 and the high WHIP are the biggest concern. Regardless, Milt Wilcox has him beat in every category except innings pitched. so chalk this one up for the Tigers.
Scorecard 1975 Reds 6, 1984 Tigers 5
You can read Brian's analysis of Milt Wilcox over at Tigerblog.
I like this signing. Nice and safe, especially considering the murky situation surrounding Anderson Machado. If Aurilia makes the team, he makes a modest $600,000. His career season in 2001 is four season behind him, and I'm not expecting a return to the 11.2 Wins Above Replacement Value he garnered that year. But if he could match his 2003 season, where he went .277/.325/.440, I'd be pretty happy.
It's always funny (weird funny, not funny ha-ha) how things work out. Last year here in Detroit, the Tigers were all over Aurilia. He ended up signing with the Mariners instead, so the Tigers settled for a trade with the M's that brought Carlos Guillen and his MVP caliber season here to Detroit. It doesn't happen too often, but chalk one up for the Tigers.
My personal feel is the Reds just signed their opening day shortstop. Machado might not even make back to the U.S. by then, and even if he does, he could have a bum knee. Felipe Lopez has more strikeouts (269) in his career then hits (216), and I could live without his career OPS+ of 79.
First off, thank you to Doc Scott for his kind words. He's the author at Reds and Blues. Doc Scott was nice enough to mention my site in a post on Redszone, so welcome to everyone who's coming to the site for the first time. And Doc, I have a handful of links I need to throw up, and yours has been one of them.
JD over at Reds Daily has a nice piece on an All Baseball roundtable about the Reds. In the comments, he gets taken to task for calling Adam Dunn a future Hall of Famer, which in my book, makes JD look even more like a genius. It's a question of what year he'll be inducted, not if he'll be inducted.
And Baseball Prospectus has their latest installment of the Triple Play up, and the Reds are part of the discussion. They blast the Milton signing, and go on to blast the Reds pitching staff further. Although making fun of the Reds pitching staff is like the school bully picking a fight with the skinny nerd two grades below him. The nerd, nor the Reds, can really put up much of a fight.
I'm travelling this weekend, so this will be the last you hear from until probably Sunday night. I know, you're sad. But I'll be back. Have a nice weekend.
First off, I want to thank JD over at Reds Daily for the kind words about my first All Decade team. Thanks to him, more people came to the website then on any other day in the short existance of the blog. Hopefully you'll keep coming back.
Don Gullett was a man on fire in 1975. He was held to only 22 starts because he caught a line drive on his thumb in mid-June. He had nineteen decisions in those 22 starts, going 15-4 on the season. He finished fifth in the Cy Young that year, his best finish ever. Over his career, he amassed a .686 winning percentage (109-50), which is good for eighth all time.
So where does Gullett fall out numbers wise? Let's take a look….
Innings Pitched 159 2/3
Wins 15
Losses 4
Pitching Runs Above Replacement 51
Stuff 16
Brian tried to hedge himself by hesitantly deferring to Gullett, but in my opinion, it's not even close. He had a better WHIP, ERA, and ERA+ then Petry did. If Gullett had a full season, he very well might have won 20 games, and won the Cy Young.
Scorecard 1975 Reds 6, 1984 Tiger 4
You can read Brian's analysis of Dan Petry at Tigerblog.
I know the Reds go as far back as 1866, but Baseball-Reference only has numbers going back to when they joined the American Association (affectionately called the Beer and Whiskey League).
The Reds first eight seasons in the American Association were pretty successful. In their inaugural season, they won the championship with a 55-25 record (no playoffs back then). In total, they had winning records in seven of the eight seasons during the decade, but could only nail down the crown in 1882. Let's take a quick look at the best of the decade:
C – Pop Snyder played five seasons for the Reds, starting in four of those. He had his best year in 1882 when he not only managed the team to a championship, but he had a .291 batting average and an OPS+ of 117. After the 1882 season he regressed, never hitting above .260, but he gets the nod not only for his good season, but for his longevity.
1b – John Reilly was probably the easiest on this list, despite the fact he didn't play on the 1882 team. His best season was 1884, when he led the league in homeruns (11), slugging (.551) and OPS (.918), and he topped out with a 189 OPS+. He was the starting first baseman for the Reds from 1883 through the end of the decade.
2b – Bid McPhee was another easy choice, because he was the starting second basemen for all eight seasons. In fact, you'll see his name again because he followed the Reds into the National League and played his entire eighteen year career with them. 1886 was probably his best year, when he led the league in homers (8) and was second in runs scored with 139.
3b – Another eight year starter, Hick Carpenter started out with a bang with the Reds in 1882. He led the league in hits (120), RBIs (67) and was second in hitting with a .342 average. He also posted an 155 OPS+, but he regressed considerably, dropping to 121 the next year, and then never getting above 101 for the rest of the decade. But that one year in 1882 probably made the Worchester Ruby Legs regret getting rid of him.
SS – Frank Fennelly was the Reds' starting shortstop from 1885 through 1888. Those first three years he posted OPS+ of 142, 127, and 112, beforing struggling in 1888 and being moved to the Philadelphia Athletics. In 1885 he led the league in RBIs with 89.
LF – Charley Jones played for the Reds from 1883 through 1887, and started two years in leftfield, and two years in center. Since there were no good leftfielders other then him, he gets the nod here despite playing as much time in centerfield. In his five years with the Reds, he never dipped below a 132 OPS+, and he led the league in OBP in 1884 (.376).
CF – Another unusual one, Pop Corkhill spent his first four seasons in rightfield before moving to center field in 1887. But because nobody else played more then a season in center other then Charley Jones, and there is a decent candidate in rightfield, I figured I'd drop Pop here. Corkhill was never a great hitter, with his best season being 1887 when he hit .311, but he gave the team a ton of flexibility because he seconded as a closer. In 1884, he earned the only save the Reds would see through 1888.
RF – Hugh Nicol wasn't known for his bat. His career SLG% was .282. But he did draw a walk or two, and was best known for his speed. In 1887, he led the league with 138 stolen bases in only 135 games.
SP – Will White was probably the single biggest reason the Reds won the American Association pennant in 1882. He led the league in Wins (40), IP (480), Complete Games (52, all that he pitched), and shutouts (8). His miniscule ERA of 1.54 was good for fourth in the league. Not to be outdone, he won 43 games and threw 577 innings in 1883. It wasn't until 1884 when the team played more then a 100 games that the semblance of a rotation was put in place. Even then he started (and finished) 64 games, going 43-22 with a 2.09 ERA.
SP – Tony Mullane came on the Cincinnati scene in 1886 and won 33, 31, and 26 games in his first three seasons with the team.
So that's the best of the 1880s. It looks like Brian is going to finish up his analysis of Dan Petry here soon, so I'll be back soon with a look at Don Gullett.
Not only is one of the guys who was going to compete for the starting shortstop postion hurt, but he also can't get back to the country. Anderson Machado is stranded in Venezuela. He hurt his knee playing winter ball, and now he's having problems getting back before the training camp starts, assuming he doesn't have a serious problem. Sounds like a problem even Repairman Jack couldn't fix.
With news about the Reds being sparse, I'm forced to come up with my own ideas. Since I go together with creativity as well as Oreo cookies and milk do, I'm going to introduce to you my first all decade team. The first one isn't a full decade, but I'll be letting you know who I think was the best players the Cincinnati Red Stockings had from 1882-1889. I'm hoping to have it done by Monday, so be sure to check back then. Unless the Reds make a trade for Johan Santana, in event I'll report back sooner.
The Hot Stove league is winding down, and it looks like the Reds will walk away with two new starting pitchers (Ortiz and Milton), and a new third baseman (Joe Randa). They also a signed a couple of relievers, but I felt those were marginal moves.
If I were to give the Reds a grade with a C being about what I thought they'd do, an A if the vastly exceeded my expectatiosn, or an F if they were like the Tigers and threw money at everybody and got walked over, then I'd give the Reds that C. They made some very marginal improvements to the rotation, and picked up much needed, experienced third basemen. Now Austin Kearns is free to roam the outfield once again.
Nobody expected the Reds to be a major player, so I can't be that disappointed. If a lot of the right things happen, the Reds could be better then .500. But for ALL of those things to happen, it would take a minor miracle.

Boarding with a Herniated Disc
Whats up, Im trying to see how many of you guy have herniated dics's and if you have any specific things you do or wear to protect yourself to lessen the chance or re-injuring it. I actually have 3 herniated disc's 2 from when I was younger but this third one was from boarding 2 yrs ago, which has really been bothering me. it put me out for the end of that season, and I re-injured it last season that put me out for a month of last season. I dont want that to happen again, so for the past few months I have been going to Physical therapy and doing core and lower back exercises. But I wanted to know if any of you have any sucessful methods that have got you thru the season with this problem such as, back braces, sport tape, Taking pills such as Ibprofin before boarding (recommended to me from doc), any special stretches, Icyin methods, anything, ill take all the information that I can get. as of right now my back is feeling kind of sketchy so I know going all out with out any preventative measures wont end well.
I had two (simultaneously) late last season, but not from snowboarding. Sucked. Terrible pain, as you know.
Inversion therapy is awesome. If you can get a table, it's SO worth it. A good massage therapist and Chiro are helpful, too.
As for supplements, New Chapter makes a product called Zyflamend that helps inflammation.
You're welcome!
Zyflamend does more for me than otc pharm nsaids. It's gentler on the body while still effective.
Sounds like you're on a good path. It's all about prevention when it comes to back and disc issues imo.
Yeah, the table is big but has the benefits like you mentioned. I like being able to (slowly if needed) pivot back to vertical to disconnect the ankle part. With the boots I assume you curl up to detach?
Cool that you have a massage therapist. This is an area I know a lot about. And you're absolutely right - you need a serious massage therapist, which is often very different than the kind you find in spas, etc. Connecting with the one from your PT place is a great idea. Maybe she offers discounted self-pay (cash) rates?
Oh I have a stretch my Chiro suggested that I find helps. It's designed to help restore the natural "S" curve of the spine. When I can get to it, I'll see if I can either post it here or pm it to you.
Yea since my ins cut me off thats the only way I will be able to go. didnt ask about rates just linked up and made sure it was possible but I dont think it will be to crazy. and yea non of that spa rub down crap, she does a little bit of everything, aligns my spine, decompression and knocks those muscles loose. yea man shoot me a pm with that stretch that would be great. that Zyflamend, doesnt interfere with you while boarding? Ive taken prescription muscle relaxers while boarding and that was a bad idea, felt like a rag doll floating down the mt.
Nope, not at all. It's natural and herbal. No drowsiness or floating ragdoll side effects. If anything, some of the herbs are thermogenic and might warm you up on the hill as a side effect.
I've got one last year and i wear a back protector and crash pads now, they help out quite a bit. Falling doesn't hurt, but your still going to be soar because of general bouncing and what not.
If you feel sketchy don't take jumps. I hit 4 jumps, 3 months after i got mine and i was done for the day.
I would also recommend skipping the jumps. One flat landing and that will send pain straight up your spine. Don't think it is worth it. I have a bad back as well and I am very cautious about riding and my park exploits.
BioFreeze is another great product. I swear by a Chiropractor, and our family uses a lot of the Market America products to keep healthy.
Hope things go well and you stay healthy
Thanks everyone for the tips, made it through the first boarding trip and still able to walk so thats a good sign. planned on taking it easy but when im ride Its really hard for me to dial it back and not go all out 24/7. slyder - I hear ya on the jumps I couldnt help myself a few times and hit some kickers on the runs landing flat totally sent a shock wave up my back. might have to cut that out for a while. EatRideSleep, thanks again for all the info, that Zyflamend works great. took it just like you recommended but I also took a few ibprofin with it, was achy from the minute I woke up so I figured id take some ib also. another thing I used was this sport tape called kinesio tape. its suppost to be really benificial so I bought a roll and tried it. seemed to work well. all I know is I went pretty hard this trip and I got worked on this hard left carve I was doing at almost top speed landing right on my back. I know if I wouldnt have done any of this prep for my back I would have been out of commision from the sheer force I landed on my back with. I thought for sure my back was going to lock up and I wouldnt be able to stand (which happend to me a few times in the past , was out for months)but stood up had full mobility and kept it moving. alittle sore today, but being carful and doing alot of icing. but like I said im still walking so thats all I need lol. thanks again.

I love visiting WPR, I walked in with my skin feeling drab and like a dehydrated peach and walk out feeling revitalise, and skin looking plump and glowing again. Thank you for such a lovely facial and giving my skin a kick up the backside..
